Several people walked towards the workshop while talking, and Li Yin explained: "Copper coins are too heavy and inconvenient to carry. In the future, use gold as much as possible for large transactions!"
Tong Nian nodded, and wrote down what Li Yin said in Mao's notebook, and said, "Your Highness, when will the workshop here be able to produce, and the sales volume will increase in the future. I am afraid that the workshop in Chang'an will not be able to supply it!"
As they spoke, the three arrived at a stone table surrounded by four stone stools. Li Yin greeted them, "Sit down and talk slowly!"
Tong Nian and Jin Daqian hesitated for a moment, not daring to sit down, "Your Highness, I can just stand standing!"
"Okay, there are not so many rules in Yizhou, so you can sit down!" Li Yin ordered.
After hesitating for a moment, Tong Nian and Jin Daqian sat down. Tong Yu wanted to sit down too, but Tong Nian gave him a glaring look and stood behind him in embarrassment.
"The workshop will start working soon, and the workshops here will produce more products. In the future, this place will replace Chang'an and become the main goods supply base for the Shengtang Chamber of Commerce. After a while, you will come to Yizhou." Let's go!" Li Min said.
Tong Nian was happy in his heart. No matter how good Chang'an was, he didn't have a sense of security. After all, Yizhou was under Li Yin's management. Only here did he feel a sense of belonging in his heart, "Yes, Your Highness."
At this time, Li Yin thought of the copper coins just mentioned again. He also deeply criticized the heavy copper coins of the Tang Dynasty, which always weighed at least three or four catties. Feiqian did not appear until the middle and late Tang Dynasty. Taking advantage of this gap, it would be too late to seize this business opportunity, so Li Yin said: "I have an idea when I talked about copper coins just now. Now merchants in the Tang Dynasty have to carry a lot of money when they go to business. It is very inconvenient to have copper coins. We might as well open a store in each state to deposit and withdraw copper coins. When the copper coins are deposited, we write a note to the depositor with the amount of the deposit on it, and wait for them to withdraw. When the time comes, we will give them the corresponding copper coins with this bill, so as to charge a certain handling fee, what do you think of this?"
After all, Tong Nian is in business, so he understands the pros and cons, and said: "Your Highness, this old slave thinks this is feasible. When I was doing business, I was also very troubled by how to carry so many copper coins. With this, it is much more convenient. !"
What Li Yin was talking about was only the savings function of banks and banks in the later period, which was also the prototype of private banks.
Tong Nian agreed with Li Yin's idea very much. It was Jin Daqian who said: "But if someone makes fake bills, wouldn't we lose a lot of money!"
Jin Daqian's worries are also justified. Tong Nian looked at Li Yin, waiting for Li Yin's next words. Since Li Yin raised it, he must have a solution.
"You don't have to worry about this. With our printing skills, no one can fake it. When the time comes, tell the printing house to print 10,000 guan bills, 5,000 guan bills, 2,000 guan bills, and 10,000 guan bills. Notes with the amount of 1,000 guan, notes with the amount of 500 guan, notes with the amount of 200 guan, and notes with the amount of 100 guan. The smallest amount is one penny. Stamp and write their names on the blank part of the bill, we will keep one copy and give the other to the saver!" Li Yin began to talk, while Tong Nian quickly recorded.
After explaining some key points, Li Yin said: "How about this, I will open a bank in Yizhou first, and then you can learn it slowly. In the future, you will open banks in other counties according to this!"
This novel business form made Tong Nian feel as itchy as a cat's claw, "Your Highness, if you say that, this old slave can't wait!"
While speaking, another sailboat sailed into the pier, and Li Yin asked, "How many boats came this time?"
"Back to Your Highness, there are thirty boats in total!" Tong Nian also looked at him, and said again: "Your Highness, why do you need so much charcoal? This thing is not worth much in Chang'an, and no one buys it. Come and go. , the shipping cost is much higher than this coal!"
Li Yin didn't want to transport coal from Chang'an at all, because there were also coal mines near Yizhou, but the situation in Yizhou at that time did not allow him to organize people to find coal mines for mining. Going to transport coal, he said: "In the future, there is no need to transport coal to Yizhou. By the way, during the time in Yizhou, you are responsible for recruiting shipbuilding craftsmen and building our own shipyard. There are still many times when using the boat!"
"Yes, Your Highness." Tong Nian replied.
After chatting with Tong Nian for a while, Li Min asked Jin Daqian to go back to the palace to tidy up a room for Tong Nian and his son to live in temporarily. The two watched.
Riding Honghaier back to the palace, Li Yin just entered the door when he heard a burst of commotion, which also mixed with Cui Yingying's voice.
The chaotic voice came from the south courtyard, Li Yin didn't get off his horse, and directly urged the horse to go. When he arrived in the south courtyard, Li Yin saw four or five maidservants chasing a little girl, while Cui Yingying covered her hands, her pretty face Contain evil.
"Where is this wild girl, hurry up and catch her!" Cui Yingying pointed at the little girl and shouted.
Seeing this scene, Li Yin was relieved. He thought that something happened to Cui Yingying, so he dismounted and walked over, saying, "What happened to your hand?"
Hearing the voice, Cui Yingying turned her head and saw that it was Li Yin, her mouth shrunk and she almost cried, she stretched out her fair little hand in front of Li Yin, and said, "Your Highness, look, this crazy girl bit me!"
Cui Yingying had a row of clear teeth marks on her hands, and even a few teeth marks were still dripping with blood. Li Yin said, "Why did you provoke her!"
"Your Highness, do you know her?" Li Yin's words were let out immediately, Cui Yingying put down her hands, and started to stare at Li Yin, with an expression of explaining to me immediately.
Li Yan had no choice but to tell her what happened that day, and explained that he also forgot not to tell her.
"So it's Su Mo'er's younger sister!" Cui Yingying's expression and tone were obviously wrong, "No wonder Your Highness is so concerned. It seems that my hand was bitten for nothing!"
Li Yin was sweating faintly on his back. A few days ago, he said he didn’t care about his concubines. Why are you so jealous now? Women are really duplicity animals. Li Yin immediately pretended to be angry, "What are you dawdling about? Hurry up and catch her, the prince will personally teach her to vent her anger on the princess."
Received Li Yin's order, the maidservants worked even harder, and the four attacked back and forth, still captured the little girl, and turned her to Li Yin.
Li Yin looked at the little girl, then at Cui Yingying, meaning that you have the heart to attack such a young girl, but Cui Yingying looked at the little girl, then at Li Yin, which means very clear, you can figure it out yourself!
