Fang Jinshi said: "I missed you, so I came back." ”

He took off his shoes and clothes, and was about to continue sleeping, Huang Jinmian closed the door and walked over, and asked: "It's strange to believe you, she still shows you a look in the face of her bad service and lets you come back in the middle of the night." ”

Fang Jinshi said: "How do you know where I went?" ”

Huang Jinmian said: "You didn't come back so late, of course I went to ask, and when I asked, I knew that you were scolded." ”

Fang Jinshi hurriedly got into the quilt, afraid that she would ask more, so he said, "Who in this family dares to scold me?" Tonight she just thanked me for inviting me to drink, and then I drank too much and fell asleep on the floor, and when I woke up and found that I slept in the wrong place, I came back quickly. ”

Huang Jinmian said: "I don't believe she will let you sleep on the ground......"

Fang Jinshi didn't wait for her to finish, hugged his head and said, "I fell and hit my head, you see if there is any bloodshed." Huang Jinmian was really nervous when he heard this, and took the lamp and candle to take a closer look, in fact, it was a swollen bag, and it was no big deal, Fang Jinshi carried her to the bed, reached into her clothes and said: "It's still my own woman who sleeps comfortably, and my heart is steady." After saying that, he blew out the lights.

Although he felt that it was bad to run away from the orb in the middle of the night, he did it anyway.

The next day was a sunny day, Fang Jinshi escaped from the house early, afraid of hitting the jewel, he hadn't figured out how to explain to the jewel, he came to Jinxian Village, sat there and drank tea for most of the morning, Hu shopkeeper asked: "Son, do we still want to accept tea?" Fang Jinshi said: "The signboards are all hung out, how can you do it without accepting tea?" ”

The shopkeeper Hu said: "But this money ......"

Fang Jinshi didn't reply to his words, turned his head to Deng An on the side and said, "You say, the difficult things in this world, borrowing money from others is not counted." ”

Deng An said: "Naturally forget it." ”

Fang Jinshi looked out the window and said, "Especially from someone who I don't have confidence in borrowing and I don't know very well, and it's really difficult to borrow a huge amount of money." ”

Deng An said: "Who is the son going to borrow from?" ”

Fang Jinshi said: "In this Huaidong and Huaixi roads, I know only King Xiu and Cai Meng who can take out this money, and the other is the Persian prince, here and now, only the Persian prince has a little hope." ”

Deng An said: "Gongzi and the prince of Persia had a fateful relationship? ”

Fang Jinshi laughed and said: "I have only known this Persian prince for dozens of days, and I have only met two or three times, how can I have a fateful friendship?" ”

Deng An said: "I don't have any friendship...... I'm afraid it's going to be difficult. ”

Fang Jinshi said: "No matter how much friendship there is, he will not lend me hundreds of thousands of yuan, borrow money from him, you don't need friendship, you just need this Persian prince has extraordinary wisdom and vision, and can understand what I said, if you don't understand, then you can't do it." ”

Deng An said: "Son, don't worry, that Prince Rikaan can speak the original dialect and can understand it." ”

Fang Jinshi was angry and laughed when he heard it, this Deng An couldn't understand anything, but he wanted to tell him, but the shopkeeper Hu understood, so he asked: "What does the prince want to use to persuade this Persian prince?" ”

Fang Jinshi said: "Currency swaps. ”

Shopkeeper Hu had never heard of this term, and said in surprise: "Exchange, exchange what?" ”

Fang Jinshi knew that he couldn't explain this concept to them for a while, it was too complicated for them to understand, what he needed was to explain it clearly to the Persian prince, the businessman pays attention to mutual benefit in doing business, this time he can catch the Persian prince Rikaan, then things will be much easier in the future.

He estimated that the time was almost up, got up and asked Deng An to take the prepared gift, thought about it and called Shi Hao to visit Prince Rikaan together.

Prince Rikaan lives in a garden in the north of Pingjiang Prefecture, he is the brother of the king of the Seljuk Kingdom, and has been going back and forth between the Central Plains and Persia for many years.

Although his living room is outside the Central Plains garden scenery, but the decoration has some desert style, Fang Jinshi saw that there were not a lot of broken teacup porcelain pieces, so he said to Rikaan: "Who is the prince angry with?" ”

Prince Rikaan said, "It's not Selinka yet...... Forget it, let's not talk about her. ”

Fang Jinshi nodded, the two sides sat down, and Rikaan took the lead and said, "I was about to look for you, but I didn't expect you to come to the door, it's really a coincidence." ”

Fang Jinshi asked: "Does the prince have good things to take care of?" ”

Rika Anhaha smiled and pointed at him with his finger, which means that you are too cunning and too good at talking, and he laughed before he said: "That alum stone, I want to buy some and bring it back to Persia, but there are too few in the medicine shop, and the herb dealer will not sell it to me." ”

Fang Jinshi said strangely: "Why is this?" ”

Rikaan said: "The Great Song Dynasty implements the alum system, and this alum stone also needs to be approved by the imperial court, and I have no choice for a while, so I want to see if you have a way to go." ”

The imperial court implements the monopoly of salt and iron, which has been implemented by all dynasties, but not only salt and iron, but also tea and wine are controlled.

Fang Jinshi lowered his head and thought for a while before saying, "I have to go back and understand this clearly, but I will definitely do my best, please rest assured." ”

Prince Rikaan said: "Okay, I have you to work, if it is really difficult, I will think of another way, by the way, you come to me, there must be something." ”

Fang Jinshi said: "Actually, I want to make a big deal with the prince." ”

Prince Rikaan immediately became interested and asked, "What big deal?" ”

Fang Jinshi pondered the words in his mind, and he felt that it was better to tell the truth, so he said: "That's the case, Mr. Meng Da originally promised me 500,000 yuan of Song money to do the tea business, but I couldn't get so much Song money on the counter of Sihai Qianzhuang, so I could only give Liao money, but the difference in price was too big, and the capital was far from enough." ”

Rika said, "You want to pull me in?" ”

Fang Jinshi shook his head and said: "No, I just want to exchange these Liao money with the prince, I know that every time the prince comes to Middle Earth, he will exchange the gold and silver brought by the ship to the official government and the silver mansion for Song money, so that he can do business with the merchants in the Central Plains, not to mention the complicated procedures, the reserve price will be lower than the market, I have the 500,000 Liao money in hand, I want to exchange gold and silver with the prince, I don't know if it's possible?" ”

Rikaan immediately said: "This is feasible, I still have some gold and silver on hand, and Fang Xiaogongzi will come to exchange it at the same time." ”

Fang Jinshi continued: "However, I want to take the 500,000 Guan Liao money and exchange gold and silver with the prince at the reserve price of Song money." He stopped talking, looking at Rikaan's expression, Prince Rikaan almost didn't believe his ears, but he had always been self-contained, although he must be saying in his heart, are you a fool to me? But there was nothing unusual on the outside, just picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip before saying, "Really? ”

He didn't say any more, Fang Jinshi smiled and said, "I know that by doing this, the prince will suffer a big loss, and no one will do this." He changed his words and continued: "Actually, I want to make a contract with the prince, and this agreement is beneficial to me at the moment, and I took the Liao money in exchange for the gold and silver of the prince's Song money. For the prince, it is beneficial in the long run, it depends on how the prince sees it, whether he has this vision. ”

Prince Rikaan sat up straight and said, "What kind of agreement, where is my advantage, you can tell me." ”

Fang Jinshi said: "I want to make this contract, I want to take the 500,000 guan of Liao money, in exchange for the prince's 500,000 guan of Song money for gold and silver, for a period of two years, the prince can use the 500,000 guan liao money to buy goods from me, I will sell them to the prince at the price of Song money, and the price of the goods must be the lowest price on the market that I can trust." ”

Rikaan seemed to understand whether he understood or not, and waited for him on the spot to speak, Fang Jinshi continued: "It is also for two years, and I will use the gold and silver I have exchanged for to buy Persian goods from the prince, which is also the amount of 500,000 Song coins, and it is also for two years." ”

Rikaan thought for a moment and said, "Isn't this bartering?" ”

Fang Jinshi said: "It's almost the same, but how to calculate the value of barter?" There are always disagreements and disputes between the two sides, and it is still fair to use the coins directly and the market price of the Central Plains as the benchmark. ”

Prince Rikaan was silent for a long time, thinking about what he said, as if he took 500,000 pieces of gold and silver worth of Song money to exchange for worthless Liao money, and suffered a great loss, but it seemed that what Fang Jinshi said was very reasonable.

Fang Jinshi saw him hesitate, and immediately said: "In business, the best result is that both buyers and sellers have interests, and business can last for a long time. ”

Rika said: "Then you can tell me well, where is my benefit?" ”

Fang Jinshi stood up and said: "In my opinion, the prince has four major benefits, one of them, I heard that the prince went back to the island along the sea route, where the people still can't mint coins, they need to circulate coins, then Song money and Liao money are the same for them, every time the prince takes the copper money of the Central Plains in exchange for their gold, silver and spices, and transports them to the Central Plains to sell, the Song money is 770 pieces per piece, and the Liao money is more than 1,000 pieces per piece, which is the first benefit for the prince. ”

Rikaan smiled and said, "Even you know this, and you are worthy of being the little son of the Four Seas Merchants." ”

Fang Jinshi said: "Second, if the prince can be trusted, you don't have to transport all these coins back to Persia and put them in the bank, you both agree that the amount will be deducted for each transaction, so as to save the trouble of transportation back and forth, reduce the risk, and the prince will not have to bring gold and silver next time, as long as it is not higher than 500,000 Song money, you can worry about it." ”

Prince Rikaan said, "What about the third? ”

Fang Jinshi said: "Third, the prince will do business with me in the future, and he can get the best goods at the lowest price, just like this alum stone, I will prepare everything for the prince as soon as possible after I go back, and the prince only needs to tell you what goods you need, which saves a lot of trouble." ”

Prince Rikaan's eyes lit up, and he asked, "What about the other four?" ”

Fang Jinshi said: "The prince mentioned to me before that Persia would exchange gold and silver for Central Plains goods every time, but the Persian goods in the Central Plains people never bought, or bought very little, the prince was deeply worried, in fact, this is the Persian trade deficit with the Central Plains, you and I have this agreement, I will buy 500,000 Song dollars of Persian goods from the prince within two years, so there is no worry about the prince." ”

Prince Rikaan said, "How can you guarantee to buy 500,000 yuan of goods from me?" ”

Fang Jinshi said: "There is a contract, although the transaction between you and me is large, but it is only based on the credibility constraints, if you and I have no reputation, there is no need to talk about this matter further." ”

Rika sat for a long time, and then said, "This matter is too big to be decided for a while, how about you let me think about it for a few more days?" ”

Fang Jinshi replied: "Don't worry, the prince can think about it before making a decision." He said this, but in his heart he wished that Prince Rikaan would agree immediately.
