Chapter 473: Cashed out, lack of support (Part 2)

In times of chaos, heavy hands must be used. Although this cannot be considered chaos, with the officers and soldiers around, the surrounding became a lot quieter. After the first chaos was quelled by Housekeeper Cao, Lin Chujiu went to Officer Yi and asked him to deploy officers and soldiers to maintain order.

Officer Yi had long received the order of the emperor, allowing him to fully cooperate with Lin Chujiu’s plan. So now that Lin Chujiu made a request, he didn’t dare to disobey her and immediately dispatch all the officials in Yamen.

When the officials came out, the ordinary people who still had some plans in mind, immediately calmed down. They only secretly thoughts inside their heart to report more than dozens of meters of rice, so that they can get more compensation. However, when they were about to register, the officer in front said: “The information you will write will be verified by a specially assigned person. If you write down false information, your compensation will be canceled. If there is no problem in the written information, just sign over here.”

The registration booklet that Lin Chujiu prepared includes information about each household, preliminary report, a review and a final review. Also, how much money was collected, who collected it, whoever handled it will also be written and then signed. If there will be a problem, they can directly look at the person assigned.

One shop of rice served hundreds of people. And there were different kinds of people in this world, good, bad… … but most people were simple, so getting compensation can satisfy them. So even after hearing the official’s words, even if they still have a little concern, they let it go and write down words honestly.

Aside from the commotion that happened earlier, the registration process proceeded in an orderly manner. When Housekeeper Cao saw that the situation was within control, he gave the matter to the second housekeeper and ran into Yamen to find Lin Chujiu.

Lin Chujiu was talking to Officer Yi’s wife, but both of them were only talking nonsense. So not only was Lin Chujiu tired but also Yi Furen.

Hearing Housekeeper Cao came to find her, Lin Chujiu was relieved and got up to say goodbye. Yi Furen got up and sent Lin Chujiu to the gate all the way and watched her until Lin Chujiu got on the carriage. Only when the carriage left Yi Furen was able to relax.

“Princess Xiao, even at a young age, she has an extraordinary temperament, which made me think I was seeing the empress in the palace.” Yi Furen said while patting her chest. She was very scared.

Lin Chujiu was sitting in the carriage but was stopped by Xiao Wangfu’s guard before she arrived at Xiao Wang Mansion. The guard said with an uneasy look in the face: “Wangfei, the people of Futian Bank refuse to accept the goods from the pawnshops, nor want to give us broken silver coins.”

Futian Bank refused to accept it. Naturally, the other banks will follow. They had a lot of goods on their hands, but they can’t exchange it with silvers. How will they compensate people?

“Futian Bank? Let’s go to Futian Bank. Also, call Su Cha over.” When Lin Chujiu heard the guard’s report, she said with a bit angry tone but has a smile on her face.

“Wangfei, the Futian Bank is not an easy opponent. They have their guards in their place. I also heard that they have a Martial God guarding them in the town.” Housekeeper Cao was worried,  fearing that things could not be controlled.

Futian Bank can’t be compared to the pawnshops they raided today. The shops they raid belonged to the Zhang Family of Central Empire. When the Zhang Family reacted, they were already done. But, the Futian Bank… …

If the other party starts to make trouble, the two sides will immediately fight, and they were not necessarily their opponents.

“Housekeeper Cao, you don’t have to worry. I don’t plan to be enemies with Futian Bank.” Lin Chujiu comforted Housekeeper Cao, but the look in her face failed to convince Housekeeper Cao. However, Lin Chujiu refused to say more, she only asked the coachman to change direction directly and go to Futian Bank… …
