Without Li Zexuan's secret promotion, the wallet, a product of modern society, had appeared in Tang Dynasty!
It was only because the wallet was more suitable for storing Tang Yuan than the previous money pouches that Meng Wenhao had.
It could only be said that the emergence of a new product would inevitably lead to the emergence of related products. This was inevitable in the development of society. At the same time, it was also a small butterfly effect that Li Zexuan, the "butterfly", had brought to this era!
"Give me a portion of nibbled chicken, a portion of meatballs, and a portion of rice! Here, for you, six hundred Tang horns! "
At noon, many students felt the convenience of using Tang Yuan for the first time.
Usually, when they ate in the canteen, they would have to spend a few hundred copper coins. If they used copper coins, they would have to count them one by one for a long time. Not only was it inconvenient to carry them around, they would also have to waste a lot of time counting the money when buying food.
Now, after using Tang Yuan, a transaction could be completed with just a few notes. The workers in the cafeteria who were responsible for getting food spent significantly less time counting money. The students who lined up to buy food also bought food at a much faster speed than before!
"How is it? After looking around, what are your thoughts? "
Li Zexuan had gathered all the other members of the Yan Huang Chamber of Commerce and brought them to the canteen for a tour. Of course, they were not looking at the canteen, but at the students using Tang Yuan to buy food in the canteen.
"Marquis, there is no doubt that Tang Yuan is more convenient than copper coins. This old man really hopes that one day, all the transactions in Tang Dynasty can be replaced by Tang Yuan. This way, every time this old man goes out to buy goods, he won't have to hire a large number of guards to escort a dozen carts of copper coins! It's safe and convenient! "
Cao Wendong stroked his beard and sighed.
He had traveled extensively for so many years, so of course, he could see the advantages of Tang Yuan. Especially for a merchant like him who often needed to go out to buy goods, Tang Yuan was simply a divine tool.
"Boss Cao is right. If the entire Tang Dynasty can use Tang Yuan for transactions, then doing business like us will be much more convenient than before. "
Feng Zhihua chimed in.
Lin Wenyuan frowned and said, "Even so, only Yanhuang College and Marquis' shops can use Tang Yuan. If you want everyone in the world to accept Tang Yuan, I'm afraid there's still a long way to go!"
Li Zexuan invited them to the second floor of the cafeteria, where a table of dishes had already been prepared. After everyone sat down, he smiled and said, "Boss Lin's concerns are very reasonable, but many things require a process. Whether it succeeds or not is one thing, whether it is done or not is another!
This marquis can tell you with certainty that if the Great Tang's commerce is to prosper, the Tang Yuan must completely replace the copper coin! At that time, the first batch of people to 'taste' the fresh food will definitely benefit the most! "
Cao Wendong nodded in agreement and said, "What Marquis said, the few of us all understand! I'm sure Marquis already has a plan, we're all ears! "
Last year, he was the one who donated the most money to the Warm Tang Foundation. In the first month, he finally received the imperial edict of 'Righteous Merchant of the World' from the imperial court. Now that he had received the title, he naturally wanted to profit. And if he wanted to profit, then he could only 'follow' Li Zexuan, the God of Fortune!
"Yes! As long as Marquis has any orders, this Feng will definitely obey! "
Feng Zhihua said without hesitation.
Compared to Cao Wendong, he was the first to receive the title of 'Righteous Merchant of the World' because of Li Zexuan!
As soon as he finished speaking, the rest of the people also voiced their agreement.
Li Zexuan smiled and said, "Alright! Then this Marquis will talk about the plan first. If anyone has any objections, you can raise them. First, this Marquis hopes that the businesses of the Yan Huang Chamber of Commerce members will be able to use tang yuan for transactions. This Marquis will use all of his wealth to guarantee that the tang yuan you receive will be able to be exchanged for copper coins at the bank at any time.
In addition, Lantian County is now this Marquis' fief. This Marquis welcomes everyone to place a portion of their businesses in Lantian County. This way, you will be closer to the Yan Huang Bank, and it will undoubtedly be more convenient for you to exchange copper coins and tang yuan. Of course, the most important point is that if you do business in Lantian County, as long as you abide by the law, there will definitely not be any officials coming to find trouble with you. On the contrary, if you meet any troublemakers, the officials will even step in to help you deal with them! "
In any era, merchants could not avoid dealing with local officials. Of course, the end result of these dealings was that the merchants had to spend money to buy convenience. Therefore, a good business environment was a very, very important factor for merchants.
After hearing Li Zexuan's words, everyone's eyes lit up. Cao Wendong asked tentatively, "Marquis, are you serious?"
Not to mention the tang yuan and the convenience provided by the Yan Huang Bank, just the latter was enough to attract him to open a shop in Lantian County. In these years, he had dealt with many local officials, and knew the principle that the King of Hell was easy to deal with, but the little ghosts were difficult to deal with. This was not a special characteristic of a certain place, but almost all the provinces and counties of the Great Tang had such "unspoken rules".
"Of course! In the future, this Marquis will implement a series of measures to prevent low-level officials from making things difficult for merchants! This Marquis will guarantee it with my dignity! "
Li Zexuan said with a serious face.
Cao Wendong stood up excitedly and said, "Good! This Cao firmly believes that Marquis will definitely do it. Since this is the case, this Cao will first transfer half of the Cao Family's business to Lantian County. In addition, this Cao is willing to invest 80,000 strings of coins into Marquis' bank as a deposit! I wonder if Marquis is willing to do it? "
Li Zexuan pondered for a moment and nodded. "Since Boss Cao is so generous, this Marquis naturally has no reason to refuse. However, there is one thing I need to make clear to Boss Cao. Since this is a deposit, this sum of money cannot be withdrawn for at least three years. Of course, as a corresponding reward, this Marquis will give a certain percentage of the bank's shares. So, if you are interested in investing in the Yan Huang Bank, please weigh the pros and cons! "
Cao Wendong was not surprised by this. He nodded without thinking and said, "Marquis, this Cao has thought about it. I will take out 80,000 strings of coins to invest in the Yan Huang Bank!"
"Marquis, this Feng is also willing to take out 80,000 strings of coins to invest in the bank!"
"This Lin is willing to take out 50,000 strings of coins!"
"This Liao …"
In the end, during this banquet, Li Zexuan pulled in a lot of business for Lantian County. He also pulled in as much as 380,000 strings of coins for the Yan Huang Bank as an initial 'investment'. Together with his own 100,000 strings of coins, the Yan Huang Bank's deposit had reached an astonishing 480,000 strings of coins. This' reputation 'was definitely unparalleled in the entire Tang Dynasty!
Later on, it was recorded in the history books that in the second month of the second year of the Zhenguan Era, Marquis Yong 'an led six wealthy merchants in the capital to raise 500,000 strings of coins as a deposit for the Yan Huang Bank. From then on, the name of Tang Yuan began to spread throughout the world!
