If you don't see a rabbit and don't scatter eagles, Zhen Qian is only willing to send a few people to follow him to learn, which Zhang Tianbao is not surprised, if Zhen Qian agrees to join the maritime business, it will cause Zhang Tianbao's suspicion.

"Good! Deal! ”

Zhang Tianbao wanted to pull the young man in front of him onto his boat, and then talked about business for a while, and his impression of Zhen Qian unconsciously changed a lot, and when the two of them were dry, they remembered that the two had been talking for a long time, and they were ready to get up and leave.

"Wait a minute", Zhang Tianbao stopped Zhen Qian, who was about to leave, and said: "The gold and silver coins made by Zhen Lang Qian Zhuang are really good, very suitable for transactions between maritime bulk operations, I want to exchange 10,000 gold and silver coins from Zhen Lang Qian Village, I don't know what to do?" ”

Zhen Qian didn't expect Zhang Tianbao to bring up this matter again, but this time there was no lion opening his mouth to exchange more than 100,000 pieces, and 10,000 gold and silver coins was not a small amount, which could fit four large boxes, and the profit was also a lot?

"Yes! I just don't know how Master Zhang is going to trade? ”

"The location is Zhen Langding, how about it within a month?" Zhang Tianbao said.

Trading in Yangzhou is too risky, and it is obvious that Zhang Tianbao is unwilling to trade in Luquan County, at least this time Zhen Qian saw the sincerity in Zhang Tianbao's eyes, and said: "How about the grass market outside Yanzhou in a month?" ”

"Good!"

Yanzhou is between Luquan County and Yangzhou, the forces of both sides can not be involved, the grass market is very close to the city gate, if there is any accident, the government will not ignore it, the reason why it did not choose to trade in the city is that it does not want to attract the attention of others, and the transaction is completed to go back to their own homes and find their mothers!

The two discussed the details of the transaction to avoid misunderstanding between the two parties, this is a big business of nearly 100,000 yuan, and naturally no one dares to easily believe in the sincerity of the other party.

Zhen Qian took out two silver coins from his arms, handed them to Zhang Tianbao and said: "For businesses with more than 50,000 gold and silver coins, the money bank will give away customized business for free, this is the silver coins customized by other money banks in my place, Master Zhang will see if you want to customize gold and silver coins for maritime merchants?" ”

Zhang Tianbao didn't expect Zhen Qianqian to have such a business at all, so he immediately widened his eyes, took the silver coin in Zhen Qian's hand in surprise, and carefully looked at it in his hand: "Not bad!" Is this custom-made silver coin the same as the silver coin of Zhen Lang Bank? ”

"Exactly!" Not to Zhen Qian's surprise, when other people knew that there were custom gold and silver coins, their first reaction was whether the two were the same, "In addition to the different patterns on it, the production and materials are exactly the same, and the seal of Zhen's money village supervision is also engraved on it, which can be regarded as a guarantee for the gold and silver coins produced!" ”

Zhang Tianbao didn't dare to think about it, what was Zhen Qian's head filled with? This kind of thing can also be thought of, my heart chuckled, and I immediately realized the huge business opportunity contained in it, a dark and sharp light flashed in the depths of my pupils, but my face was happy: "This is very good, if this is the case, I am afraid that the transaction between us will be closer!" ”

Zhen Qian already had a plan in his heart, if he could reach a long-term business with the maritime merchants to exchange gold and silver coins, he could extend the business of the money village to the south of the Yangtze River, and then let Zhen Shi establish a forging workshop on the secret island, so that the transaction and transportation would be more convenient and fast.

However, for Zhang Tianbao, a shark, Zhen Qian did not dare to relax in the slightest, although the reputation of businessmen in the business field is important, but the weak and the strong will not have mercy because of weakness.

The two exchanged a few more pleasantries, and then agreed on some follow-up related matters, and signed the contract on the basis of the word.

When the two pushed the door and were about to leave, they were all surprised, it turned out that the sky had darkened, and they didn't know how long the two had been talking in the study.

"It's not too early, I'll take my leave first!"

"Wait!" Zhang Tianbao stopped Zhen Qian, called a servant and said, "What time is it, the guests in the hall can leave?" ”

The servant said in a panic: "Master, it's two o'clock now, it's past the curfew, and the guests in the hall have not appeared when they see the master, and everyone is waiting for the master in the hall!" ”

"Two o'clock!"

Zhen Qian looked up at the sky, the sky in the north was different from the sky in Huainan, he forgot this, and there was no clock with him, he actually saw the sky wrong, the sky was not very dark at this time, but it was already past the curfew, and if he wanted to go back, he was afraid that he would be invited to sleep in the cell by the officials on the road.

The crime of anti-curfew is not serious, but who is okay to touch the mold and feel uncomfortable, especially if he is sent to a prison cell for the night, which is different from staying in a hotel, "Master Zhang, can I send a few back?" ”

Zhang Tianbao laughed and said: "People don't stay guests, since the curfew has passed, it is better to stay in my house and continue to drink and feast!" ”

Zhen Qian nodded helplessly, it was obvious that Zhang Tianbao was unwilling to send him away now, he didn't believe that Zhang Tianbao, who was the head of the land, had no connections in the county government, so he had to stay overnight.

The two returned to the hall, and sure enough, seeing that everyone had not left, it was understandable that Fujiwara Shuxiong and Yuerong had not left, and the other maritime merchants stayed obviously to know what the two were talking about in the study, and when they saw Zhen Qian and Zhang Tianbao coming out, they immediately focused countless eyes on the two.

"I'm really sorry you missed the curfew, but in that case, why don't you stay overnight in Zhang's Mansion tonight?"

Several maritime merchants glanced at each other, looked up and saw Zhang Tianbao smiling and nodding, and immediately nodded in agreement, willing to stay and continue the feast.

Yuerong heard that she was staying in Zhang's Mansion at night, and there was no displeasure on her face, but Zhang Liang, who was accompanying her on the side, was a little excited, and hurriedly got up and said, "Father, the child is going to prepare a room for a few guests?" ”

Zhang Tianbao waved his hand and said, "Go!" Tidy up the best room in the house, Zhen Lang and Fujiwara-kun will live in Zhang's mansion tonight, and they will leave early tomorrow morning, do you want to send a letter back? ”

Zhen Qian didn't care, Fujiwara Shuxiong on the side said with a sad face: "Please also ask Master Zhang to let people notify the official post!" ”

After the curfew at night, as long as you pay some money, there will naturally be watchmen and officials to help ventilate and report the news, which is also an unspoken rule of Fang City.

"Shiro, you take Yuerong Lady to see the room first, and if you have any requirements, you must try to meet them!" While speaking, Zhang Tianbao looked at Zhen Qian on the side, intentionally or unintentionally, a trace of cunning light flashed in his eyes, Zhang Liang immediately understood and withdrew from the hall with Yuerong, who was unwilling to leave immediately.

"Is there anything you don't want Yuerong to know?"

Zhen Qian smiled in his heart, as a business secret discussed by the two, after letting a woman on the Fengyue field know, it is equivalent to letting the whole Yangzhou know, Zhang Tianbao will not be unclear about the pros and cons, but he saves himself from finding a reason to open Yuerong.

Sure enough, after Yuerong left, Zhang Tianbao immediately said: "I discussed with Zhen Lang in the study for a long time just now, I'm afraid you have questions, what is ...... matter."

PS: The curfew time in the Tang Dynasty began to prohibit pedestrians from 600 drums at dusk, that is, as soon as it entered the night, and ended at five watches and three chips the next day, which was roughly equivalent to about 7 o'clock in the evening of later times, to 4 o'clock in the morning of the next day, and the curfew time in the early Song Dynasty was delayed to three drums, about 11 o'clock in the evening, and then the curfew was gradually abolished.
