Chen Zhengtai likes people like Su Lie, steady, but in his temperament, there is also an indescribable integrity.

Chen Zhengtai is also an upright person, the so-called hero cherishes the hero.

At this time, he took a sip of wine, looked in a good mood, and said: "The matter of money and food will be taught to me, as for the third ......."

Third...... Who is the third oldest?

Xue Rengui looked left and right, and finally made trouble for a long time before he reacted...... This old man refers to himself.

So Xue Rengui hurriedly said, "What do you have to say from my brother?" ”

Chen Zhengtai said: "You are in charge of the security for the time being, and protect me at any time, I think I may be more likely to offend people recently, and there will be danger." ”

"Oh." Xue Rengui was very well-behaved, nodded and said, "Brother, don't worry, I will go wherever you go." ”

Chen Zhengtai can be regarded as relieved.

It's almost the New Year.

Chen Zhengtai, who has always been wealthy, has prepared many red envelopes, and the Chen family and the people around him have one.

In fact, red envelopes are still in vogue in this era, so when Chen Zhengtai took out the things and sent them to the two younger brothers, as well as the third uncle and the fourth uncle, as well as the backbone children of the Chen family in the kiln, and even the shopkeeper of the Chen family also had a copy of it, everyone followed Chen Zhengtai and said Wishing you prosperity together, and then opened the red envelope, which was ...... It turned out to be a large IOU of 30 times written by Chen Zhengtai.

The third uncle and the fourth uncle, who are not short of money themselves, are fine, but the eyes of the others are straight.

This is thirty times, this is a lot of money, Zhengtai is really generous, I really want to be his relative for the rest of my life.

With this IOU, you can go to the Chen family's treasury to exchange real money, and the Chen family has signed so many IOUs to go out, many people have them in their hands, and everyone is not worried that the Chen family will not pay back the money, after all, ...... There really is a mine in someone's house.

Even in the market, there are some large transactions, which are too inconvenient, if you want to redeem 2,000 yuan, what should you do? It just so happens that you have some IOUs from the Chen family in your hand, if you want to trade, then you can only bring someone to the Chen family in a car, how many copper coins is 2,000 yuan? There are 200,000 pieces, and these 200,000 pieces are enough to pack several large boxes, and then you have to ask labor to load them into the car.

With so much money, you're only going to hit the road with a few drivers?

Of course it is impossible, at this time, it is no better than the later generations, there is surveillance everywhere, and there are no bandits in the mountains, in fact...... Because of the terrain, in ancient times, it was never possible to eliminate bandits!

Even if it is under the feet of the Son of Heaven, it is impossible, after all...... As long as there is a mountain, a group of small people dare to entrench in it!

If there is an encirclement and suppression by the officers and soldiers, they immediately hide in the mountains, and it is impossible for the officers and soldiers to mobilize hundreds of soldiers to go deep into the mountains in order to capture a few small gangsters, and spend countless hours to catch a few thieves.

Therefore, it is extremely risky to bet on a cart of money, no matter where you go.

So, you have to hire a lot of guards, and these guards, you may not be able to rest assured, who knows if they will see the wealth?

Finally, the money was shipped to the destination, and it was time to trade with the other party, and the account had to be settled!

The other party has to hire a few account offices, understand the money, and determine whether the money is mixed with iron money or bad money.

In this way, it can take several days, or even longer, to settle the money.

The scary thing is that there are also huge risks involved, and even ...... The cost of hiring labor, guards, and bookkeepers for your transaction is also very high, and it is said that the transaction is two thousand, but in fact it is ...... At least 50 strokes is an additional expense.

In the past, the Tang Dynasty was in ruins, and commerce was not prosperous, trading was only carried out among a very small number of people, and the trade volume was not large, the fundamental reason was that deflation and people were unwilling to engage in commercial activities.

Isn't it good to save this money? The more you save, the more valuable it is.

As a result, rich families are saving money, and they just want to pass it on from generation to generation as a family heirloom.

This is also why, when many people in later generations built houses, they dug up, but found that there were countless copper coins in the ground, countless, nine times out of ten, left by the rich man of a certain family, passed down from generation to generation, but the result was not spent, and then encountered some reason, the family was in the middle of the road, and the children and grandchildren did not know that there was still so much money hidden in their cellars.

But now it's different, now the copper coin is depreciating day by day, a few months ago, a hundred copper coins could buy a chicken, and now, if you want to buy a chicken, you need 130 yuan.

So, everyone was terrified, the money could no longer be hidden, and they had to buy things, buy anything useful, and not buy things...... Who knows how much this money will be worth next year?

Seeing this, the businessmen saw the business opportunity and began to become active.

The number of transactions is becoming more and more frequent, and the volume of transactions is getting larger and larger, and they are eager to exchange all the money in their hands for all commodities.

It's just that this transaction is really cumbersome, and the original copper coin transaction is a painful thing for merchants and families.

At this time...... Finally someone started to get interested in IOUs.

You see, this is an IOU from the Chen family, there are 2,000 yuan, do you want it, if you want it, I don't bother to go to the Chen family to exchange it, you accept the IOU and go to the Chen family to exchange it yourself.

Don't worry, the Chen family has money, do they dare not to redeem it? If you run, the monk can't run to the temple!

So many people go to exchange IOUs, don't the Chen family cash them out? There is no less, people are now casting copper, and they are still in partnership with the palace, even if you can't trust the Chen family, don't you believe Your Majesty?

Thereupon...... Someone began to be willing to accept IOUs.

At first, the seller got the IOU, but he was still a little worried, so he took the IOU and went to redeem the money overnight.

Can be slowly ...... Everyone found that this step seemed to be a bit redundant, since there were people in the market who were willing to accept the IOU, and the Chen family could always pay it on time.

Maybe next month, I'm going to go to the big trade to buy, so why do I have to go to the trouble of cashing out copper coins? Wouldn't it be better to hide this IOU directly, and then use it to continue to trade with people?

Of course...... There are not many people who think like this.

But in the East and West markets, some people have quietly begun to do so.

People don't seem to realize it...... A paper currency, began to be born,

They still still regard the Chen family's IOU as an ordinary IOU.

This IOU...... began to circulate quietly, today in the hands of a certain clan, the day after tomorrow because of the transaction, it fell on a certain merchant, and after a few days, it went to a third party.

The number of handovers continues to increase, and the more people begin to accept it, then this piece of what should be a waste of paper suddenly becomes valuable.

……

Under Chen Zhengtai's attention, the first batch of porcelain was finally produced.

Using the latest technology, the Tang Dynasty people prefer flashy colors, which can be seen from many aspects.

So...... The first batch of porcelain is all blue and white porcelain!

This blue and white porcelain originally began to appear in the last years of the Tang Dynasty, of course...... The manufacturing is relatively shoddy, until the Ming and Qing dynasties, with the continuous progress of the process, as well as the improvement of the porcelain kiln, so it developed to the peak.

The blue and white porcelain fired by the Chen family is not far behind the blue and white porcelain of the Ming and Qing dynasties!

It is decorated on the ceramic body, covered with a layer of transparent glaze, and fired at one time by a high-temperature reduction flame. Because the porcelain clay used is blue after firing, it has the characteristics of strong tinting strength, bright color, high firing rate and stable color.

To put it bluntly, the fundamental reason why this thing can be popular during Qingming is that the firing rate is high, the production efficiency is extremely amazing, and it is very suitable for large-scale production.

In Chang'an City, Chen Zhengtai personally set up a shop in the East Market.

On the outside, the shop was tightly wrapped with curtains, and on the inside, the shop was repaired.

However, although it is tightly wrapped, the bronzing characters such as Erpigou hanging above it have earned enough eyeballs!

So people talked about it, and no one knew what kind of fame this Chen family was going to make.

The more people speculated, the more vague the Chen family's side became, so this sense of mystery ...... More people have a strong interest.

Especially those ordinary businessmen, seeing that the Chen family has repeatedly created commercial miracles, many businessmen have regarded Chen Zhengtai as an idol.

At this time, they all wanted to know what Chen Zhengtai wanted to use to make money.

So...... The whole Chang'an spread the word.

Even some of the big families seem to be alarmed.

In front of the shop, even every day, there will be a flag, the words on the flag change every day, yesterday it was a number of seven, today it becomes six.

Everyone understood at once, this should be the countdown to the date, this surnamed Chen is really good at trading, and it really hangs everyone's hearts.

On the last day......

A string of firecrackers began to crackle.

The sound resounded in the sky, frightening the entire East Market, and they all got under the table with miserable faces.

When they popped out of their heads in shock and made sure that this was not God's might, they came out tremblingly.

And at this time...... Erpigou porcelain industry officially opened.

Chen Zhengtai personally stood in front of the shop and made a very close to the people, of course...... Xue Rengui must be by his side, after all...... The premise of being close to the people is that one's own security is guaranteed.

A group of guys have begun to shout around, very hard, and their voices are hoarse.

After all, the Chen family's buddies adopt a commission system, although the commission is not much, but for the guys, as long as the things sell well and the sales are good, then not only is it not a problem to make a living, but you can even make a profit, which is enough for you to settle and run a family property in the long term.

"Come and see, come and see, the porcelain used by the county prince himself, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that it was good, and Princess Sui'an used it every day, General Cheng and Zhang Gongjin Zhang Dudu highly recommended it...... Let's take a look. ”
