"Wuyun, bring a few people with you to bring two carts of copper coins to the academy tomorrow and exchange them all for tangyuan. Do you understand?"
In Duke Lu's Mansion, Cheng Chumo, who had just finished his meal, was lying on the "armchair" and humming to his little attendant.
Jiang Wuyun was dumbfounded. He suspected that his young master had eaten too much, so he asked uncertainly, "Ah? Young master, you want to use two carts of copper coins to buy tangyuan? How long will it take for our mansion to eat? If Master and Madam know, they'll … they'll … "
It was not Jiang Wuyun's fault for misunderstanding. It was mainly because Cheng Chumo's pronunciation was too inaccurate!
Cheng Chumo glared and said angrily, "It's tangyuan! Not tangyuan! What is going on in your head all day long? "
"Ah? Young master! I'm talking about tangyuan! What's wrong? "
"Ah! I … f * ck! I'm too lazy to talk to you! Here! Come and see! It's tangyuan! Tangyuan! Did you see it clearly? "
Cheng Chumo was extremely helpless. He could only take out a few pieces of tangyuan, pointed at the words on them, and gnashed his teeth.
"Oh, it's tangyuan!"
Jiang Wuyun suddenly realized. He scratched his head and wondered, "Young master, although the patterns on these notes are very beautiful, they're not worth two carts of copper coins! If Master and Madam know … "
"Go away, don't use my parents to pressure me. Do you believe that I'll beat you up if you continue to dawdle? Besides, this money is originally my monthly expenses. I'm just using it to exchange for tangyuan, not for a chicken or dog fight. What can my parents do if they know? "
Cheng Chumo was really impatient. He kicked Jiang Wuyun's butt and said angrily.
"Ha! Ugly bull, what are you doing? You're sneaking around and not letting me know? Tell me, I'll see if I should beat you up! "
At this moment, Cheng Yaojin walked in with a majestic gait. His loud and clear voice shook the dust off the tiles.
When Cheng Chumo heard this, his face was full of black lines. What did he mean by "tell me, then see if I should beat you up"? It turns out that you're treating beating your son as your own pleasure!
"What? Why didn't you say anything? Go on! Tell me, what did you do? "
"Father, I didn't do anything!"
Cheng Yaojin sat opposite Cheng Chumo and stared at Cheng Chumo with a burning gaze. Cheng Chumo could only say helplessly, "I just changed all the money my family gave me for this month to Tang Yuan!"
"Tang Yuan? The one in your hand? What were they doing? Bring it over and let this old man take a look! "
When Cheng Yaojin heard this, he did not immediately scold him. Instead, he looked at the few pieces of green paper in Cheng Chumo's hand and said.
"Father, Tang Yuan is a new toy that Yamachō tinkered with. It is used to replace copper coins. In the future, the academy can only use Tang Yuan and not copper coins! Father, don't underestimate copper coins. Let me tell you, this toy … "
When Cheng Chumo saw that his father's attitude was not bad, he was happy to tell him more about Tang Yuan.
After half an hour, Cheng Yaojin clicked his tongue and said, "Little Xuan has thought of another good way to earn money! Ugly bull, go back and ask Little Xuan if his bank is short of money. If he is short of money, this old man can invest 50,000 strings of coins! "
"Ah? Father … you! "
Cheng Chumo's eyes widened. He suspected that he had heard wrongly. He stuttered, "Father, this bank doesn't make money. Now, the students and teachers of the academy don't need to pay extra to exchange copper coins and Tang Yuan. Why do you still need to invest so much money?"
Cheng Yaojin pursed his lips and said to Cheng Chumo angrily, "You brat, what do you know! Not collecting extra money now doesn't mean that we won't collect extra money in the future. In this old man's opinion, Little Xuan's bank will definitely have great prospects in the future! Moreover, it will be a huge profit with little capital! "
…
Chongren Lane, Zhangsun Wuji's residence.
"I have to say, this Li Zexuan's idea is really strange! Using paper Tang Yuan to replace the heavy copper coins. This idea is bold, but it is also a wonderful idea! This old man dares to conclude that this lad must have a big plan. It is definitely not just a plot of land in Yanhuang College! "
Zhangsun Wuji said emotionally as he held the Tang Yuan that Zhangsun Chong brought back from the academy.
"Father, do you mean that Yamachō might promote Tang Yuan to people outside the academy in the future?"
Zhangsun Chong asked with uncertainty.
He really didn't think about it in this direction.
Zhangsun Wuji shook his head and said, "Ha! It's not a possibility, but a certainty! Although Li Zexuan didn't say it clearly, this old man dares to conclude that he wants to gradually replace copper coins with Tang Yuan in the entire Tang Empire! The younger generation will surpass us in time, the younger generation will surpass us in time! "
When Zhangsun Chong heard this, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said in disbelief, "Father, if that day really comes, won't Yanhuang Bank become the richest bank in Tang Empire?"
"Not only the richest? It will also be the most profitable place in the entire Tang Empire! "
If Cheng Yaojin could think of this, how could Zhangsun Wuji not think of it? He also predicted that Yanhuang Bank would definitely start to collect 'service fees' when exchanging money in the future.
"Ah? Father, this bank can still make money? But when we were exchanging money in the afternoon, Yamachō didn't collect more from us! "
Zhangsun Chong subconsciously thought that Yanhuang Bank was just a product that specialized in serving the students and teachers of the academy and not for profit. That was why he was so suspicious.
"Ha! Even if this bank doesn't collect more from the people inside the academy, it will definitely collect more from the people outside the academy! At that time, to Li Zexuan, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he would make a fortune every day! "
Zhangsun Wuji shook his head and sighed.
He and Cheng Yaojin only thought of one way for the bank to make money — collecting service fees. They didn't think that Yanhuang Bank had an even more important way of making money!
"Haha! If that's the case, Yamachō is really a genius! "
Zhangsun Chong scratched his head and laughed.
Zhangsun Wuji glanced at his son indifferently. Back then, he had sent Zhangsun Chong to Yanhuang Academy to study mainly because he wanted Zhangsun Chong to get close to and befriend Li Zexuan, the new favorite of the Empire. He did not expect that after a few months, Zhangsun Chong had completely forgotten his original mission and had turned into a "little bootlicker". He seemed to have been subdued by Li Zexuan's profound knowledge and powerful personal charm!
Thinking of this, Zhangsun Wuji sighed helplessly. It wasn't that he was useless, but that the other party was too 'difficult' to deal with!
After a moment of silence in the study room, Zhangsun Wuji suddenly said, "Chong 'er, after two days, when you return to the academy, privately ask the Duke of Yong' an to see if his bank is still lacking money. If it is, the Zhangsun family can take out 100,000 strings of coins to join Yanhuang Bank!"
Zhangsun Chong was immediately stunned. His father was such a proud person, but he actually took the initiative to find someone to cooperate with? Was the sun going to rise from the west?
"Uh …! Yes, father! "
