Chapter 54: Big Business
When Yun Chu leaned on the jujube red horse and drank, he couldn't help but sigh - the political ecology is different, and the way he does things must also change.
In the past, it was the political ecology that Yun Chu had experienced, but now, people don't even hide from the emperor about robbery, theft, and violations, and some of the experience that Yun Chu has accumulated before is not used.
Naha got irritated with the maggot-like chrysalis on the back of the red horse, so she sat on Yun Chu's neck by the way.
Yun Chu was a little helpless, after returning to Chang'an, it was time for a girl as old as her to learn to read and learn to be popular, how could she sit still with her temperament, which was more boyish than a boy.
The old monkey is a very good teacher, but since he entered the Yumen Pass, Ding Dayou's agreement with the old monkey group of Hu merchants has been completed.
Ding Dayou didn't want others to see his dignified Zhichong Mansion Lieutenant mixed with a group of worthless Hu people, so he sent the old monkey and them away early.
Yun Chu always felt that after leaving Ding Dayou, the old monkeys seemed to be quite happy, and they didn't stay in Yumen Pass for a moment, and rode on a camel and walked towards Chang'an.
Looking at Naha, who was rubbing her face against her brother's face, Yun Chu found himself for the first time bringing back a scourge from the Western Regions.
This child's skin is not white enough, it may be good to keep it in the house, this child doesn't like to be clean, it doesn't matter, it will be good to find two more grandmothers to take care of her hygiene in the future, this child likes to eat indiscriminately...... It doesn't matter, it's great that you can cook a lot in the future.
…… It would be difficult for her to wear the kind of tedious clothes that Tang girls wear, as well as reading, writing, and being a female celebrity.
Coupled with her appearance, it should be very difficult to find a good husband in Datang.
The Tang people like orchids rather than have a blonde wife, which is clearly distinguished.
Yun Chu's troubles didn't last long, and he was shouted by Ding Dayou to share the spoils.
People have a lot of goods and manpower, so they are ready to take all these goods to Chang'an and hand them over to the emperor to earn the maximum profit.
Yun Chu's goods are small, most of them are gold, and then there are dozens of camels, Ding Da has compassion for him, and what he gives him is also gold.
Therefore, the most in Yun Chu's hands now is gold, and after doing the math, there are at least two thousand taels of gold.
As we all know, except for the nobles and nobles, ordinary people do not use gold.
Li Yifu is now actively promoting the suggestion that officials above the fifth rank are scholars in the imperial court for his own consideration, and even if it is passed, Yun Chu does not know when he will become a five-rank official.
Far water can't quench the thirst of the near, so we still have to find a way to convert this gold into copper coins.
However, the amount of copper coins converted into two thousand taels of gold is at least several tons, and even if he and Naha have camels to help, there is no way to get them to Chang'an.
So, Yun Chu began to miss the days when the old monkey was there, how annoying and dangerous this old guy looked at when he was there, but since the old monkey went on the road by himself, Yun Chu found that it was inconvenient to do anything.
It is impossible to bring gold to Chang'an, and once the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty return to China, they will immediately become farmers.
The soldiers of Shangzhou Zhichong Mansion are not necessarily Shangzhou people, it is common for the soldiers to walk all the way and scatter all the way, and when they go to Chang'an, Ding Dayou doesn't know how many are left.
When the time comes, he and Naha will enter Chang'an with two thousand taels of gold?
After thinking about it, Yun Chu felt that he still had to discuss with Ding Dayou how to deal with the gold.
After listening to Yun Chu's suggestion, Ding Dayou was stunned for a moment and said, "Are you going to hand over the gold here to Cheng Chumo, and then ask the Cheng family to hand over the two thousand taels of gold copper coins to you in Chang'an to distribute to those comrades and relatives who died in battle?" ”
Yun Chu shook his head and said, "Cheng Chumo will give me at least three thousand taels of gold copper coins, and I still lose a lot of money." ”
Ding Dayou worked hard to run his not very bright head and thought for a long time before saying: "You give him two thousand taels of gold, and when you arrive in Chang'an, he will not only give you two thousand taels of gold, but also give you an extra thousand taels of gold?"
Why!
Although Cheng is not a good person, but Cheng Chumo's guy is a monkey with hair, and he is not as stupid as he thought. ”
Yun Chu arched his hand and said: "I'm tired of Captain Du Zuo, just ask him like this, if he is really smart, he will definitely agree, if he doesn't agree, it means that he is not a smart person, I would rather take two thousand taels of gold to follow you to Chang'an." ”
Ding Dayou squinted at Yun Chu for a while and said, "It's okay, I am also responsible for He Yuanshan's death, help you be a witness, and guarantee that it will be possible to let the Cheng family give you money in Chang'an."
However, if you ask for an extra thousand taels of gold, it may not work, really, Cheng Chumo's guy is very good. ”
Yun Chu smiled and said, "Just ask, I think he has an eighty percent chance of agreeing."
In fact, this should be said to you the most often, but unfortunately, the captain has no foundation in Yumen Pass, and his family is not rich enough, otherwise you are the most suitable. ”
Ding Dayou shook his head like a rattle.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible, your relationship with Lao Tzu is not good enough to give you a thousand taels of gold for nothing."
"You go and ask, maybe it's done?"
"What if people beat me out as a villain?"
"No, it won't!"
Ding Dayou saw that Yun Chu was so persistent, and for the sake of their Daguan Lingyamen in Qiuzi in order to cover him to break through the siege and fight to the death, he took the post to Cheng Chumo's Duwei Mansion Yamen.
Yun Chu took Naha to guard at the door of the governor's mansion, waiting for news from Ding Dayou.
Two hours later, Ding Dayou came out and said to Yun Chu with bad intentions: "People said that two thousand taels of gold should be put here for him, and then it would be no problem to go to the Cheng family to get copper coins worth two thousand taels of gold.
As for the extra 1,000 taels of gold you wanted, people said that they asked him in person, it makes sense for him to ask for it, what Cheng has is gold, if it doesn't make sense, break your legs and pull out your teeth, it's not bullying you.
Now, do you want to go in? ”
Yun Chu smiled and thanked Ding Dayou, and then took Naha's hand and stepped on the steps of the Yamen of the Governor's Mansion.
Ding Dayou stood outside and thought for a moment, but after all, he couldn't resist the temptation of curiosity, and followed in.
Yun Chu left a good impression on Ding Dayou, at least he is a person who can do things and get things done, this kid is only thirteen this year, in case he talks nonsense and angers Cheng Chumo to be cleaned up, he doesn't even have a chance to shout grievances.
Of course, he was also really curious, why did Yun Chu ask Cheng Chumo for money with empty teeth, or his mother's 1,000 taels of gold.
When Ding Dayou came back again, he found Cheng Chumo sitting on the wide soft floor and looking at the two Yun Chu brothers and sisters.
And Yun Chu is peeling grapes for his sister to eat.
Cheng Chumo looked majestic as if he wanted to eat people, but Yun Chu didn't care about it, concentrating on feeding his sister grapes.
Seeing that Naha's mouth was stuffed with grapes, Cheng Chumo knocked on the soft side and said: "I want to hear how you took a thousand taels of gold from my hand now, well said, a thousand taels of gold for you, if it's not good, Lao Ding should have passed on my words to you just now."
I won't even give you the two thousand taels of gold you brought. ”
Yun Chu took out a handkerchief to wipe the grape juice flowing from the corner of Naha's mouth, looked at Cheng Chu with a smile and said silently: "If you don't give it, then it's good, go back to the Great Ci'en Temple and ask Master Xuanzang to ask the old man for it." ”
Cheng Chumo, who was originally a little proud, began to shake his feet, suddenly heard the name of Master Xuanzang, and immediately sat up straight, and Ding Dayou, who was sitting on the side and eating grapes, also coughed violently.
Cheng Chumo stared at Yun Chu for a moment and said: "If the gold in your hand is related to Master Xuanzang, Cheng's charity of another thousand taels of gold is nothing, you should understand that there are some things that you must not lie, otherwise, the consequences will not be something you can end with a single head." ”
Ding Dayou also quickly stopped coughing, and Chao Yunchu, who was red-faced, shouted: "Boy, be careful! ”
Yun Chu smiled and soothed Naha, who was a little frightened and widened her eyes, and said to Ding Dayou: "Duwei, the Hu man surnamed Shi you brought back, his name is Shi Pantuo, and he has followed Master Xuanzang for seventeen years and has not left an inch.
The reason why he was in a hurry to enter Chang'an this time was to see Master Xuanzang, he had a lot of questions to ask Master Xuanzang, and most of the questions were related to me.
The two lieutenants don't need to worry about this matter, when we arrive in Chang'an, there is nothing to hide from truth and falsehood. ”
Ding Dayou immediately said to Cheng Chu: "There is such a Hu man, who just left the day before yesterday. ”
Cheng Chumo nodded and said: "In this case, whether it is to give Master Xuanzang a thousand taels of gold to build the Great Ci'en Temple, or to publish and print scriptures, Cheng agreed."
However, this thousand taels of gold Cheng will only be sent to the Great Ci'en Temple. ”
Yun Chu looked at Cheng Chu and said silently: "Why did I send my gold to the Great Ci'en Temple?" ”
Cheng Chu smiled silently: "As long as Master Xuanzang speaks, the Cheng family will do his best to help even if the family is bankrupt, how can you take away Cheng's one thousand taels of gold with one mouth." ”
Yun Chu stood up and came to Cheng Chumo's eyes and said, "Just because I have already given you Cheng's family, you can make thousands of dollars without effort." ”
Cheng Chumo looked at Ding Dayou suspiciously, and Ding Dayou spread his hands helplessly and said, "I don't know either." ”
Yun Chu resettled Naha, who was holding the corner of his clothes, and said to Cheng Chu silently: "My two thousand taels of gold are placed here for you, and when I return to Chang'an, Cheng will give me another two thousand taels of gold copper coins, will there be no cost in between?"
The reason why I didn't spend a copper coin in this middle is because the face of my captain, and the face of those robes who died in battle, were given to the general as expenses, right? ”
Cheng Chumo, Ding Dayou nodded in unison.
Yun Chu said again: "So, if a businessman who doesn't have these conditions like me wants to do the same thing as me, how much will the general charge?" ”
Cheng Chumo said coldly: "The merchant puts the money here with me, so he doesn't need to transport heavy copper coins or precious gold, and he will go on the road empty, and he will have money when he arrives in Chang'an."
In the same way, if a businessman makes money in Chang'an, he doesn't need to bring money on the road, he just needs to put the money in Cheng's family, and after he comes to Yumen Pass, he will take the money from me, is this the business you are talking about? ”
