In a large store in the leather market on Haizi Xiejie, Lao Ding instructed his men to move the delivered leather goods into the warehouse in the backyard.

A man in a long robe stood on the steps and watched them busy, playing with a round object in his left hand, his eyes were a little drifting, and his right hand stroked a few wisps of green beard under his chin from time to time, thoughtfully.

This person is Ding Yingwen, the proprietor of Lao Ding, the eldest son of the second room of the Ding family, who holds two leather goods stores, an iron goods store and three grain stores, all of which are called "Mao Yuanxiang".

In addition to the shop, Ding Yingwen's house is in the east city of the capital, with a full five-entry courtyard, covering an extremely wide area, and it is said to be the residence of a certain important minister in the former Liao.

What Ding Yingwen was holding in his hand, Hao Ran was the ingot of silver that Liu Yu gave to Lao Ding.

"It's not a Liaojin official ingot, it's not Datong snow patterns, and it's not like the Song people cast, if you think about it, you've never seen it! With such a color, I'm afraid it's not full. Ding Yingwen muttered to himself.

"It's not like it, the old man has been walking all over the world for many years, and he has never seen such a beautiful silver cast."

"There's only one possibility. This is his family's own casting, such a luxurious handiwork, just smelting and folding how much it costs. Ding Yingwen looked at Lao Ding.

"You said that this person is dressed as a southerner, with a strange accent, carrying a cloth bag, alone, and it doesn't seem to be robbed, then he won't come to the capital to play, he should have a plan."

"The old man is worried about this matter, and he has not been invited to come here, if he does something scheming, it will not be a disaster." Lao Ding nodded.

"No, it won't be a spy, there is no point in the Song people sending people here, the war has been going on for several months, unless they want to assassinate the Great Khan, do you think it is possible?" Ding Yingwen shook his head

"Square cloth bag, tied with a belt to be able to carry it on the shoulder, black leather boots, Song people rarely wear it like this, it seems to be a Westerner, a Westerner, a Westerner, is it?"

"Maritime!" Lao Ding blurted out.

"Yes, and it's a wealthy businessman, send the children of the family to explore the way, so it makes sense, there must be seafood in the bag!" Ding Yingwen was a little excited.

"This son should stay at the Sunrise Inn, if the owner is interested, the old man will go to invite him to meet tomorrow."

"No, wait two days, and if he doesn't come in two days, you can go again." There can be no rush.

Ding Yingwen has a plan, if he really expects it, what the Ding family says should be this person's first choice, so that he can take the initiative better.

On the second day, it was already three poles in the morning, and Liu Yu opened his eyes. A qiē seems to be like a dream, it seems so unreal, he actually slept in time and space more than 700 years ago.

It is not the old-fashioned shelf bed of the Ming and Qing dynasties, and Liu Yu has a low bed under him. It's a bit like the feeling of Simmons being placed directly on the ground in later generations, but it's not that elastic. The quilt is also a little hard, and it should be cotton inside, but the cloth mold is a little thick, not like cotton, but a little like hemp.

nnd, brother is now any thing is an antiquity of the Yuan and Song dynasties, even the air, who can compare, Liu Yu has some bs of those local tyrants in later generations.

I don't know if I can sell it if I bring it back. Step on the cork clogs prepared in the inn and open the windows to let in the light. Liu Yu, who has a vest and big pants and short hair, picked up his mobile phone and started shooting, like a curious baby.

After the freshness, Liu Yu, who was dressed as an ancient, was ready to go out, and the destination was the Ding family's leather goods store as expected.

Being in this completely unfamiliar time and space, even the origin of the household registration is not clear, and any trouble can be fatal. Liu Yu doesn't want to try his luck everywhere with things, since the Ding family is a businessman, he should have some vision. If you can cooperate, it will be a lot less troublesome. Liu Yu made the decision easily.

The travel bag is too heavy and inconvenient, and those silver ingots alone are about 20 pounds. Forget about the mechanical watch, the time system is different, Liu Yu doesn't want to popularize the 24-hour clock here alone.

It's the same with penicillin, you have to have an opportunity to come up with it, someone gets sick and gets infected or something. All that's left is mirrors, matches, and soap. By the way, with another box of cigarettes, the iron box that Liu Yu specially bought, the kind without marking, contains 30 Zhongnanhai, this product may also work.

Looking at the few things in the box in front of him, Ding Yingwen, who boasted that he had seen a little bit of the world, was surprised to cover up and forget about it. Even seeing the precious pearl tortoiseshell coral would never make Ding Yingwen so out of shape, it turned out to be something he had never seen before!

This is the mirror, how can it be so clear, it is so clear. A small piece painted with black borders, like a wooden box. Impossible, there must be something surprising.

As for the yellow fat cube placed in the transparent box, there is a faint smell of good aroma overflowing, is it not the legendary dragon birthday incense? Ding Yingwen is not calm.

"Liu Gongzi, this is" Ding Yingwen pointed to the box of matches.

"Don't dare to take it, this thing is called 'tap fire', which is not surprising, it is a thing that causes fire."

Liu Yu put down the teacup and took the match, opened the box and took out one and scratched it on the edge of the box, and a bright fire ignited in front of Ding Yingwen's eyes.

"I see." Ding Yingwen's book also ignited one, and it was really magical.

Think about the flint used at home, the set of fire sickle and velvet, it takes a long time to light a fire, and it is better than drilling wood to make a fire.

"The proprietor of this thing must know that the mirror can reflect things and people, which is the smallest, and there is a large human shape, which is used for dressing. It is clearer than a bronze mirror, and a woman can also be used as a plaything. Liu Yu lit a cigarette from the fire in his hand and spat out the mist.

"The proprietor might as well try this, cigarettes, pastimes." Ding Yingwen picked up one when he heard this, sniffed it, and didn't dare to be sure.

Tobacco was only introduced to China in the Ming Dynasty, and this technology was too dark to accept.

"As for this thing, fragrant pancreas, bathing and cleaning hands is easy to use,

The owner smelled and saw that there was more than one kind of fragrance. Ding Yingwen sweated, and it really smelled good, a smell of flowers.

"The first time I came to the door, there were a lot of chattering, some vulgar things, and the owner must not dislike them." If it is less than ten yuan, the future generations will throw it out if they can't get in, Liu Yu thought secretly.

"Childe is polite, Ding asked more, are these from the south?" Ding Yingwen asked thoughtfully.

"Yes." Liu Yu nodded

"At sea?"

"Indeed, it is from the far west, and it takes a lot of time to transport it by sea, and it takes more than half a year to make a trip.

This has to be smooth sailing, in the event of storms and waves, ship wreckage and death are common things,

In short, even in the south, in all parts of Guangquan and Ming Prefectures, only my family has such things! Although Liu Yu's tone was very light, he was full of arrogance.

"Strange Dao has never seen it, so in this way, it must be worth a lot of money."

"These three kinds of things, all of which are commonly used, this tap fire, 50 in a box, 100 wen in a box, in two wen and one piece." In fact, Liu Yu doesn't know how much to sell, so he will quote a high price for people to cut it.

"One hundred wen, pay money or cash?" It's a bit expensive, but it's still within Ding Yingwen's psychology, and strange things have to be priced.

Yuan people's purchasing power is not known to others, how can he not know, this group of people who cross Europe and Asia, from the prince to the ordinary sergeant, are all rich, and there is nothing else in the surviving family, gold and silver must be piled up, without it, robbed.

"Paying money?" Liu Yu was confused.

"It's all Ding's fault, the son is coming south, I don't know if it's right, that's it." Ding Yingwen took out a stack of papers from his sleeve, took out one and handed it to Liu Yu.

Is this banknote? Liu Yu looked at the very rough paper in front of him, which was a little messy.

The paper is soft and the color is bluish-black. The name of the Chinese banknote is written horizontally above the banknote surface "Zhongtong Yuanbao Jiao Banknote". In the middle of the upper part of the flower bar, the four words "Yibaiwen Province", and the lower part of the denomination is a horizontal money map.

On both sides, Chinese characters are written vertically and incomprehensible garbled codes, the Chinese on the right side is "Zhongtong Yuanbao", and the left Chinese is "Zhulu Pass". Below is the name of the Chinese language publisher, stamped with two red seals.

"That's Mongolian, the meaning is the same as Chinese, this banknote is exchanged for silver and one tael" Ding Yingwen looked at Liu Yu over and over again, knowing that he didn't understand, and explained.

"That's a box of tap fire and two hundred wen banknotes, one hundred wen in silver." Liu Yu looked at the word "Zhongtong" with his eyes and felt weird.

In fact, he didn't know that this was the name of Kublai Khan when he was called emperor, and Zhiyuan was changed after quelling Ali Buge's rebellion.

I don't know if it's worth it in modern times, this is an ancient banknote, and there won't be a lot of it, but it's too new, and it's estimated that it will be treated as a fake.

"Eighty wen, cash silver, at least a thousand boxes in a month." Ding Yingwen held up a finger.

"There are 10,000 boxes, 100 Wen is already very low, the owner can sell more than 150 Wen, three Wen a piece,

This thing is useless in water, all the way to sea, the damage is unknown, and it is unprofitable to be cheap. "It's still not black enough, Liu Yu thought.

During the Daoguang period at the end of the Qing Dynasty, the British used matches as tribute, and a box of 84 matches was sold for one or two silver, and the rich flocked to it, which was a reasonable profit for a traverser.

Well, Liu Yu ignored one point, the matches he wholesaled were only a dime a box, and the larger the quantity, the cheaper.

"Okay, the monthly supply is more than 10,000 boxes, and one box of 100 wen, but it can't be supplied to other families!" Ding Yingwen summed it up in his heart, this item can be sold for at least one hundred and eighty to two hundred wen, and this is a consumable, if it can be operated exclusively, this can be had.

"North, just one Chinese book province is enough for you to sell. Gansu, Shaanxi, Henan and Jiangbei, I promise you that wherever the Ding family firm goes, it is only for you. "Liu Yu wishes he could sell it to Europe, as long as he has this ability.

10,000 boxes, 1,000 taels of silver per box, 125 taels of gold, 40 grams per tael, a total of 5,000 grams.

In later generations, a gram of gold was 370 yuan, and the fineness was almost 300 yuan a gram, which was 1.5 million RMB, 10,000 boxes of matches, and the cost was 1,000 yuan.

"As for the glass mirror and pancreas, the owner can put it on the shelf first, if someone asks, the mirror will be sold for 20 taels, and the pancreas will be 5 taels. I prepared 20 for each.

If it's good to sell, I'll talk about it. "Liu Yu saw that Ding Yingwen did not have a sting, hì Lan pounced, and the bad Zhu Lang Yun Hui Xiao Yi Huang Fu Post Qiangou every word was harmonious

"Well, just according to what Childe said." Ding Yingwen nodded, that's fine.

"When will the boy start supplying?"

"It's not a secret, the caravan at home has already come, and now it should be close to Nengtongzhou Road,

I don't know if the owner has a warehouse in Luxian, so I want to deliver it directly there, how about it? "Liu Yu doesn't want to walk around the capital, and it's hard to find a suitable place.

"It's okay, I'll send Lao Ding there tomorrow, it's cheap for you to be familiar with him." Although the business of one thousand taels is not small, it is not taken into account.

What Ding Yingwen sees is its prospects, and there is the line of the Liu family.

"It is not easy to carry money, and it is not possible to pay money to the south, if it is convenient, can it be exchanged for gold?" Liu Yu's purpose is gold, and if it is sold into silver, it has to be exchanged again, so it is better to reverse it once.

"Well, a certain family has gold and silver auxiliaries, and now one or two feet of gold are exchanged for eight taels of silver, if it is the kind of silver ingot in the hands of the son, seven taels and five can be!" Ding Yingwen understands very well.

It is extremely difficult to carry a large amount of money on the road, otherwise there will be no money in the world.

"Seriously, that's great." Liu Yu was overjoyed, calculated in this ratio, the silver ingot in Liu Yu's hand could be exchanged for 1,220 grams of gold, worth at least 360,000 RMB.

"It's a trivial matter, anyway, it won't be long before this payment will pass through the world, and the gold is still too heavy. We are businessmen, and the more free we are, the more we can bring more goods. Ding Yingwen said casually

"Oh, why is that?" Liu Yu was puzzled.

"In June, the Great Khan issued an edict to conquer the Song Dynasty, and in July, Prime Minister Boyan sent 300,000 troops south, and now at the end of September, the army should go out of Xiangyang and go straight to Jinghu. The overthrow of the Great Song Dynasty is probably only in the future. Ding Yingwen said leisurely,

Although he never felt that he had anything to do with the Song people, he knew that he was a Han Chinese. And the Great Song Dynasty is the country of the Han people.

"This year," Liu Yu looked at Ding Yingwen dumbfounded.

"In the eleventh year of the Yuan Dynasty."

To the eleventh year of the Yuan Dynasty, this is the year name of the Yuan Emperor Kublai Khan, the Great Song Dynasty should be the tenth year of Xianchun, this year Emperor Zong died, the four-year-old prince Zhao Xi ascended the throne, and the Empress Dowager Xie was called the system.

In less than two years, the Yuan army will attack Lin'an, and the two will surrender. Da Song also entered the final moment.

For a moment, both of them lost interest in talking.
