Leaving the household with a question mark, Li You went to the Huichang Silver on Qipan Street. Qipan Street is located in the south of Daming Gate, and the six parts are located in the east of Daming Gate, which is not far from each other.

Shopkeeper Dai welcomed Li You into the inner hall and reported: "Just now, the Gou family sent someone to come over with 20,000 taels of silver, and they are being delivered over there. ”

Li You smiled: "It seems that Wu Anbo is not old and confused, and he can be regarded as an acquaintance!" There will be more later, and you have all put it away. ”

Thinking of Yan Shangshu asking for a silver ticket, Li You thought about it for a moment, and his old man didn't say a number, how much should he give?

Li You has been in the officialdom for so many years, and he has never given a favor to a court tycoon of Shangshu's level, and he doesn't quite understand what it is like, especially when he helps accommodate such a big business.

In the end, he estimated a number by himself, and instructed the shopkeeper Dai: "You go and open a silver ticket of 5,000 taels that can be redeemed at sight, and it will be useful to me." ”

Dai Miaozhu was stunned, "This is not in accordance with the rules, in the silver industry, it is a big taboo for the owner to arbitrarily use the counter to deposit silver or issue silver bills indiscriminately, and the bank's convention is strictly prohibited." If it gets out, it will be a big scandal, and the rest of the industry will never deal with us and notarize again. ”

Regardless of whether it is a bank shop or an account bureau, as long as it involves the deposit business, in order to ensure credit, although there is no unified association, the influence of industry colleagues is very great, and there are some conventions recognized by the whole industry. For example, if a certain bank shop has any big moves or new openings, it must ask some peers to do notarization, so that it can be regarded as effective after being recognized, otherwise there is no credit at all.

It turns out that this matter is not as simple as I thought. Li You thought bitterly, where could he get five thousand taels of silver out of his personal property. He also asked, "How about using dividends?" There should always be some dividends in the year. ”

"It's not very appropriate, Yi took the initiative once this year, the profit of the silver number is not much, and it will cost another five thousand taels, but I am afraid that the friends in the store will complain."

Li You patted his thigh and said, "Did the 20,000 taels of the Gou family get into a good account?" If not, it will be recorded as 15,000 taels and deposited into this number. The remaining 5,000 taels were counted as being lent to me, and I sent an IOU to the Gou family. Then I exchanged the five thousand taels for a silver ticket. ”

"It works that way." Shopkeeper Dai hurriedly went out to handle the matter. It took another stick of incense to come back. "That's right, the Gou family has 15,000 taels and deposits it into this number. A one-year promissory note was issued to him. The remaining 5,000 taels are listed in the name of the owner and are counted as personal loans from the owner. This is a contract in duplicate that was drafted on behalf of the proprietor and asked the proprietor to sign it. This number is used as a seal for the protection of the seam. ”

Li You signed the IOU and immediately became a big loser who owed the Gou family 5,000 taels. After that, the shopkeeper Dai handed the silver ticket to Li You, and asked cautiously: "Does the owner have any urgent money?" Do you want to tell the shopkeeper? ”

Strictly speaking, without the consent of the big shopkeeper of Guan Xiuxiu, he changed the ownership of the deposit without authorization, although the silver number did not lose anything, but it was a bit unruly. However, Huichang Yinhao is in a special situation, Li You and Guan Da's shopkeeper are on the same page, and he is not afraid that no one will take responsibility.

"Next year, we will try out some salt exchange between Beijing and Yangzhou, and these 5,000 taels will open the way for this." Li You revealed a little guilt.

"Then congratulations to the owner!" Shopkeeper Dai congratulated. Hundreds of thousands of dollars down, according to one cent. There are also thousands of taels of profits.

Originally, I wanted the guy to send it, but after Li You got the silver ticket, he felt that it was more reliable to go to the household by himself. He found the envelope, packed the silver ticket, and left the silver trumpet and headed northeast to the house. You have to hand deliver the envelope to Yan Shangshu.

After sending the silver ticket, Li You felt that he had really done a beautiful thing today, and in recent times, few things have been done so smoothly.

The financial hegemon's ambition has taken the first substantial step, imagining a wonderful future, and Li You returns home with flying kindness. It was noon. He shook around the front yard, and when he saw that there was no housework to be attended, he went to the back, and thought with great interest which wife and concubine to find after lunch. …,

At the gate of the moon, he was stopped by Mr. Xi Xicui at home to speak, and it turned out that he wanted to report the situation of the visitors this morning. "Nothing else, I've helped to send it away, but there's a special one."

Li You asked in surprise: "These people have been here, what else can be special now?" ”

"But it's Uncle Qian." Mr. Cui said.

Uncle Qian? Li You was surprised, it was indeed special. When there were so many uncles of the Zhengzong country, the brothers of the Empress Dowager Qian and the brothers of Empress Xiao could be called uncles, and the two uncles surnamed Qian, Li You, had seen and dealt with each other.

Qian Daodao's uncle Xinninghou, who has some means, has already run to Nanjing very well to avoid the rights and wrongs of the capital. As for the other uncle Qian Erguo, Li You, who has a lot of nobles, took a long time from his memory before he remembered what he was like, and his impression of him was that he was "very greedy and shameless, but not very good".

The uncle who is visiting today must be Uncle Qian Erguo. It is said that Uncle Qian's circle has nothing to do with him Li You, except for repairing the son of the Qian family, and having a very unpleasant deal in Yangzhou, he has basically never met in the capital, why did this uncle suddenly come to visit today?

"What did he say?" Li You asked again.

"Uncle Qian Guo said that he had some small grudges with the proprietor in the past, but as the saying goes, it is better to settle the grievances than to settle them, and he is willing to meet the proprietor with a smile and a grudge, no matter what, he has no deep hatred and blood hatred with you."

Li You felt more and more weird, those two times he actually offended Uncle Qian, but Uncle Qian couldn't help it. Could it be that this Uncle Qian Erguo suddenly became a broad-minded, magnanimous, and extraordinary character overnight?

When he Li You was the most powerful, Uncle Qian Guo didn't say anything, and now he Li You lost his official position and "lost power", but this person came over to sell well, how strange it is. Isn't there a snob in this world who is high and low, and who is red and white?

Accidentally catching a glimpse of Mr. Cui's slightly embarrassed look, Li You wondered, "What are you sentimental?" ”

Cui Zhenfei sighed: "When I saw Uncle Qian, I remembered the past. Back then, I also offended the proprietor greatly, and I lost that the proprietor didn't remember the villain's mistake to take in and use it, so that the Jingshi would not starve again! ”

Li You really didn't miss these few words, and continued to ask: "Did Uncle Qian Guo say anything?" ”

"He also said that there is a big business to do with the proprietor, and he will come to visit in the afternoon."

Hearing this, Li You was relieved, and he was afraid that he would be a thief if he had nothing to do. But if the hustle and bustle of the world is all for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is all for profit, it will not be surprising. For greedy people like Uncle Qian, if it is profitable, it is nothing to resolve a small grudge. I just don't know what idea he plays.

After thinking about it, Li You stayed at home and waited after lunch. Although Uncle Qian Guo has no skills, he is also the queen mother's own brother, and he has a certain ability to spread small words to the palace.

In the absence of conflict, people take the initiative to offer courtesy, and there is really no need to offend death without giving face. It is always a good thing to reconcile, and no one wants to have as many enemies as possible.

drank a few sips of tea in the study, and sure enough, I waited for Uncle Qian. This time, Li You looked at him seriously, and felt that this person was really a little old and decrepit, but he was in his forties, but he looked as old as he was in his fifties. What is the appearance of a well-respected uncle.

Although Uncle Qian Guo looked miserable, his shelf was not low, and he greeted Li You with a calm demeanor after entering the study. Li You was not in a hurry, and chatted with him slowly, anyway, he was not in a hurry.

After talking for a quarter of an hour, Uncle Qian Guo got to the point, "Now that I am here, there is indeed a deal that I want to join forces with Master Li." ”

Li You didn't answer, waved his hand and said, "I have been dismissed, so I don't deserve to be called that." ”…,

Uncle Qian Guo smiled and continued: "I have a friend who begs for a living in the Jingbei area, and this year he opened a few new coal kilns and saved a lot of coal. I heard that coal is in short supply in Beijing now, and I want to ask me to find a way to sell it in Beijing. "Speaking of which,

Uncle Qian Guo smiled and said nothing, he knew that Li You would be interested in this. Seeing that Li You sat up straight, his eyes lit up and asked, "Jingbei also produces coal?" ”

Uncle Qian Guo explained: "Coal is produced in Miyun, Huairou, Shunyi, and Changping Prefecture in northern Beijing, but the amount is not as large as that in western Beijing, and the transportation is slightly less convenient than in Xishan. ”

Li You leaned back in his chair again and spit out a groove that no one could understand in this era, "I only know that Changping can dig sand, and it turns out that it can also dig coal." ”

Digging sand? Digging coal? Uncle Qian Guo was puzzled, but the main topic was important, and he continued to explain: "There is not much coal produced in northern Beijing, and it is generally supplied to the northern armies, or burned bricks and irons on the spot, so it is rarely sold to the capital. This friend of mine opened a few coal kilns, but he did not open the door and sell them to the border army, but he made a mistake, and saved hundreds of thousands of catties of coal in two months, if he could sell it in the capital, he could make a lot of money. ”

Hundreds of thousands of catties of coal, almost enough to supply the needs of the Beijing Division, although compared with the total demand is not a large amount, but if suddenly enter the market, it is enough to have a certain impact on the price of the coal market. Especially in the current situation where a large amount of coal is hoarded and the actual sales are not much.

Li You said indifferently: "Then bring it and sell it, there are several coal markets in the capital, what are you looking for me to do?" ”

Uncle Qian Guo showed a displeased look, "I am sincere in this matter, but Li Daguan is just laughing, it is too much to snub people!" ”

Li You laughed and arched his hand at Uncle Qian, "It's your fault, don't blame Uncle Guo!" ”

Anyone with a bit of a brain knows that now the coal market is controlled by eunuchs and hoarding, and now it is very arrogant, and even the Son of Heaven has been blinded. Then Li Baixian restrained a few times, and then he entered the slander and was dismissed from office, who else would dare to touch the mold? There is no way to transport hundreds of thousands of catties of coal to impact the market, and it is even more death.

So Li You pretended to be stupid and made Uncle Qian very unhappy, is this an insult to his IQ? (To be continued)
