"Fifty thousand catties each? As you can see, there are 38 kinds of spices in the booklet. Tang Xun was taken aback, this businessman looked thin, not like a rich and noble person, he didn't come to make trouble.

The merchant smiled and said: "You can see clearly, 50,000 catties each, what the adult just said, won't it not count?" ”

"Of course it counts, but it's just so many goods, it's not a small amount." Tang Xun was very skeptical, he didn't believe that a person would carry millions of dollars with him.

As soon as he stretched out his hand, he took out a large pile of banknotes from his arms, and said with a smile: "These silver banknotes are 10,000 taels each, and you can directly exchange them for the same amount of silver in Lin'an Hongyun Bankery." Adults don't have to worry, these payments are paid on the spot and never on credit. Don't worry about these silver banknotes being fake, all of you here are businessmen, you have silver banknotes in your hands, it is estimated that many of them are also Hongyun Qianzhuang, if you have any doubts, you can ask you to help identify the fake. As he spoke, he took out a silver note and handed it to Tang Xun.

Tang Xun naturally knew about the Hongyun Bank, and their 20,000 taels of gold were exchanged for this bank.

This money village existed at the beginning of the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, there were originally six central stores, in the Jingkang Rebellion, Bianjing's shop was destroyed, but because the shopkeeper of Bianjing was alert at that time, after the Liao State was destroyed, a large amount of gold and silver in the money village was smuggled to the south of the Yangtze River, sure enough, soon after, the Jin people went south, Bianjing was besieged, after the city was broken, the gold and silver treasures were looted by the gold people, and the Hongyun money village escaped a catastrophe, and the people in Bianjing City holding a large amount of silver banknotes in the Hongyun Money Village, either rich or expensive, are the targets of the gold people, Most of them died in the war or were taken to the north, and there were few descendants, and the silver banknotes were basically destroyed and disappeared, so a large amount of gold and silver was not exchanged, and these ownerless gold and silver became the private property of Hongyun Qianzhuang.

Before the Jingkang Rebellion, Hongyun Qianzhuang could only be regarded as the top name in the Great Song Dynasty, and the money village with those central stores in Bianjing City could not be compared, but since the Jin people looted Bianjing, the original several major money villages have all collapsed since then, and the imperial court was rebuilt in Lin'an, and the Hongyun Money Village, which was originally the business center in the south of the Yangtze River, became the largest money village in the Great Song Dynasty. After decades of rapid development, in addition to the central store in Lin'an, there are five central stores in Chengdu, Jiangling, Hongzhou, Fuzhou, and Guangzhou.

Tang Xun took the silver banknote and took a closer look, it did have the mark of Hongyun Qianzhuang, which was a silver banknote that had not been exchanged. But for the sake of safety, he still picked up the silver banknote and asked everyone: "This official has never seen such a large amount of silver money, and I ask you to help me look at it to distinguish the authenticity." ”

As soon as he said this, a businessman immediately got up and said: "My lord, I have been using Hongyun Qianzhuang silver money for more than ten years, and I have never made a mistake, I will take a look for my lord." ”

Tang Xun handed out the silver banknote, and the merchant took it in his hand, looked at it carefully for a while, and then said: "My lord, the silver banknote is no problem, it is indeed from Hongyun Qianzhuang." After speaking, he handed the silver bill back to Tang Xun.

Tang Xun took it in his hand and said with a smile: "Okay, since the silver money is fine, then let me confirm it again, all the thirty-eight spices in the booklet, all of them, 50,000 catties each?" ”

Shang Jia smiled: "Exactly." Please also calculate how much this 1.9 million catties of spices cost, I will pay immediately, and start delivering the goods as soon as possible. ”

Tang Xun returned the silver note to him and said with a smile: "Okay, wait a minute, I'll calculate it for you." After saying that, he took a pen and wrote and drew on the paper.

After a while, he calculated clearly, and said to the merchant: "There are thirty-eight kinds of spices, each of which is 50,000 catties, and the total amount required is 2,432,000 taels of silver." Do the math yourself, and check the two phases. ”

Shang Jia smiled: "No need, the lord is in charge of the trade of the entire fleet, and there will be no mistakes." With that, he began to count the silver bills on the table.

Tang Xun registers the transaction information in the account book and issues the bill of delivery.

After about a stick of incense, the receipts were opened, and the silver bills were counted.

After putting a small amount of silver bills back into his arms, Shang Jia took a wad of silver bills and said, "My lord, this is 2,432,000 taels of silver bills, please count them." ”

Tang Xun took the silver bills and counted them carefully, no more, no less, so he put away the silver bills, handed him the stack of bills of lading, and said with a smile: "Congratulations, this first batch of 1.9 million catties of goods is yours." ”

The merchant took the slips and counted them carefully, and it was exactly thirty-eight.

After the first order was completed, Tang Xun saw that the other merchants seemed to be still considering, so he smiled and said: "After you have paid for the goods, don't leave for the time being, and arrange the order of picking up the goods for you later, the fleet has a limited time in Quanzhou, and if you don't have time to deliver the goods after payment, you can only wait for the fleet to arrive in Mingzhou before making the delivery." ”

As soon as these words came out, the businessmen were not calm at once, and immediately several people jumped up and scrambled: "My lord, I want the second batch of goods!" ”

"Okay, don't scramble, the first fifteen orders will definitely be delivered in Quanzhou, even if you don't rest at night, you will be delivered. Your second, your third, your fourth, your fifth, don't grab it. As soon as Tang Xun pointed out, he ranked the merchants who earned the robbery.

Seeing that everyone was quiet, he asked, "How many people are going to trade with the silver money of Hongyun Qianzhuang?" ”

The room suddenly resounded with "I am" one after another.

Seeing that almost everyone used the silver banknotes of Hongyun Bank, he said: "Since this is the case, let the shopkeeper of Hongyun Bank distinguish the authenticity of the silver banknotes." ”

Before everyone could understand what it meant, Tang Xun called the guard in, handed him a sign to return to the place, and told him: "Hurry up and go to Quanzhou City to invite the shopkeeper of Hongyun Qianzhuang, and say that there is a large amount of Hongyun Qianzhuang's silver banknotes in circulation, and ask him to be a witness." ”

After the guard was ordered to leave, Tang Xun said, "You can start trading." ”

Shang Jia, who was ranked second, quickly got up and said, "I'm the same, all the spices cost 50,000 catties." ”

After the first order, Tang Xun was already surprised, but he still had to confirm: "Thirty-eight kinds of spices, do you want 50,000 catties each?" ”

The merchant replied, "Exactly, a total of 1.9 million catties of spices." ”

"Okay." Tang Xun took the notes and began to fill in the bill of lading.

After all the documents were filled out, Shang Jia also counted the silver bills on the table, only to see him push a wad of silver bills on the table: "This is 2,432,000 taels of silver bills, please count them." ”

After a while, Tang Xun counted the silver banknotes clearly, one was not much, and one was not much, so he put the silver banknotes in the order of the transaction and handed over the documents: "The second batch, 1.9 million catties of goods is yours." Please sit back and wait. ”

As soon as the merchant Jia received the receipt and didn't finish reading it, the third merchant got up and said, "My lord, I also want all the spices, 50,000 catties each!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the rest of the merchants who had not yet traded were suddenly shocked, they wanted so many goods? Is it their turn?

At this time, the least anxious are the two businessmen who have already completed the transaction and the third businessman who stood up.

Tang Xun has calmed down, no matter when, as long as there are people, there will never be a shortage of rich merchants, he has seen merchants who took out 200,000 gold coins in Seljuk at once, two hundred taels of silver bills are actually not much, but three in a row, it is still somewhat unexpected.

"Okay, thirty-eight kinds of spices, 50,000 catties each?" Double-confirm.

"Yes, all 50,000 catties."

The merchant took out the silver * starting point, Tang Xun took the pen to record, and filled in the delivery documents.

Soon after, one person paid the money and the other handed over the bill.

Three transactions, 5.7 million catties of spices, and the goods of seven ships were sold in half an hour, which was really unexpected, and if the rest of the merchants were so wealthy, it was estimated that half of the goods of the fleet would be taken by them today. Tang Xun suddenly had a hint of worry, and it was not good news that it was sold too quickly.

When the fourth merchant was about to get up and ask for a transaction, after Tang Xun collected the silver money, he suddenly smiled and said: "Everyone, although this spice is a good thing, most of them can be kept for a long time, but it is not a necessity of life. ”

"Thank you for reminding you, since this spice can be stored for a long time without being bad, then what else do we have to worry about, spices in the Western Regions are rare, if you miss this transaction, it will be difficult to purchase it again." Some businessmen laughed.

"Who said no, fortunately the fleet entered Quanzhou Port, if you go all the way north, to Mingzhou, Lin'an, where to get us, Lin'an Mansion, the rich world's businessmen and wealthy families are too many, I estimate that when they see the fleet, they must not even see what goods are on board, and they will directly buy the goods with the ship. You don't want to think about it, who are Lin'an, all of them have a relationship, open their mouths to three ships, five ships, can the court not give it? Or Lord Tang is benevolent and righteous, thinking about us small businessmen, and leaving us a mouthful of soup to drink. We should be thankful to Mr. Tang! ”

The merchants echoed and called Lord Xie Tang.

This made Tang Xun a little embarrassed, I wanted them not to buy too much, but after they said it, it turned into a rush to buy it again, and the merchants were panicked.

"My lord, I will cost 50,000 catties of each of the goods in this booklet."

"I also want 50,000 catties for everything."

"I also want 50,000 catties."

"You guys are not small, there are more than 100 kinds of these goods, do you have any money? Can you afford to buy it? My lord, 50,000 catties of each, I want all the goods in this booklet. Pay half of the money upfront and the other half by noon tomorrow. These are three million taels of silver bills, please count them. The merchant Jia Shan stepped forward and slapped a wad of silver bills in front of Tang Xun.

As soon as they saw that someone was directly paying for the money, where could the other businessmen still sit still, they took out the silver money that had been prepared long ago from their arms and squeezed them in front of Tang Xun, and the scene was chaotic for a while.

"One by one, all of them. Go back and sit down and come in order. Tang Xun was taken aback by this scene, and he couldn't go crazy!
