Knowing that the shopkeeper Lu in front of him was a businessman from Khitan, Wu Deli was polite on the surface, but in fact he was already worried in his heart.
Without Yun Chao's order, he would not dare to do business with foreign businessmen without authorization.
Even if the other party was just a Han from the North, Wu Deli didn't dare to make his own claims. He couldn't bear the charge of liaising with foreign countries.
After working under Yun Chao for so long, Wu Deli knows Yun Chao better than many people.
He knew that what Yun Chao hated most was barbarians.
Wu Deli heard what Yun Chao said about the Han people in the North, saying that although they were all Han people, under the centuries-long alien rule, many of them were ashamed of their Han identity.
Even though the goods brought by the caravan in front of him were valuable, Wu Deli did not dare to directly agree to cooperate with them.
"Shopkeeper Lu, I am just the shopkeeper of a trading company. I cannot make the final decision on the cooperation with your Khitan caravan. I would like to ask Shopkeeper Lu to wait for a few days. I would like to ask the local chief for instructions. How about that?"
To Wu Deli's expectation, Shopkeeper Lu, who looked fierce and difficult to deal with, nodded in agreement without saying anything.
"Shopkeeper Wu, I wonder if Lu can move around freely in the city?"
Wu Deli smiled like a chrysanthemum: "Of course, if shopkeeper Lu encounters any trouble, just say he is a friend of our Yun's Trading Company."
Wu Deli wanted to send someone to accompany him, but was refused. There were some secrets that shopkeeper Lu didn't want people to know.
After seeing off shopkeeper Lu, Wu Deli personally mounted a fast horse and rushed to Jinan Mansion to find Yun Chao.
…
After leaving the headquarters of Yun's Trading Company, shopkeeper Lu took his men around the city.
This was a great stroll and I discovered a lot of new things.
The soft and snow-white Wudalang steamed buns, the steaming Shizilou steamed buns, the sweet and delicious Wolong candies, the refreshing Yunjia cold drinks...
Although they are seemingly inconspicuous snacks, no one in the caravan has ever tasted them.
Seeing many people lining up to buy, they also laughed at the Wu Dynasty people for their lack of knowledge.
After tasting it for myself, I realized that it was the Khitans who were ignorant!
Eating a bowl of ice-cold cheese, the hearts of the Khitan people in the caravan were soaring.
After eating cheese for half a life, it turns out that I can still eat it like this. The people of the Wu Dynasty have already lived so well. Have they caught up with the nobles of their own country?
The Khitan people are not stupid. They have long learned the method of storing ice cubes from the Han people. They cut ice in the winter, store it in the cellar, and use it in the summer.
However, that is something that only Khitan nobles can enjoy, and they cannot be small nobles.
Although Shopkeeper Lu also has the surname Yelu and is technically a member of the royal family, his blood relationship is distant and he is no longer considered a high-ranking noble.
Well, Lu is his fake surname, and shopkeeper Lu’s real name is Yelu Dashu.
In addition to eating food they had never seen before, everyone in the caravan also saw something incredible.
In addition to copper coins, what people here use is not silver, but round and flat things!
After asking the boy at the food shop, I found out that those round and flat ones are called silver dollars, which are common coins in Dongping Prefecture, Jeju, Jinan Prefecture and Zizhou!
The boy heard that they were foreigners from the north and showed off his skills to them.
Hold the middle of a silver dollar between your thumb and index finger, blow hard on the edge of the silver dollar, and then put the silver dollar next to Yelu Dashu's ear.
Yelu Dashu heard the clear and sweet cry of Yin Yuan, and his eyes widened in surprise. Could this be the legendary sound of Yin Yuan?
Everyone in the caravan tried it, and everyone felt it was magical.
Others may just find it amusing and rare.
Yelu Dashu, who was born into a royal family, thought of something more.
Who made this kind of silver dollar? It's so ingenious.
With silver dollars, who still uses silver?
Silver must be weighed and its quality must be checked. The issue of anti-counterfeiting is a headache for countless people.
Silver dollars are different. They have the same specifications, the same quality, and the production process is exquisite. It must be difficult to imitate. It is many times more convenient than silver!
No, after I go back, I must suggest to the superiors that I, the Khitan, should also make such coins in the future!
However, what surprised Yelu Dashu even more was yet to come.
When he took people to a bank opened by Yun's Trading Company to exchange silver coins, the bank clerk told him that if the amount of money was too large, he could open an account at Yun's Trading Company and deposit and withdraw money in other places.
The guy was holding something called a bill.
"Please see, sir, this is the bank note issued by our Yun's Commercial Bank. If you open an account with our bank, you can take the bank note and withdraw money from any Yun's Commercial Bank..."
There was no such thing as a banknote in the Dawu Dynasty, and naturally neither was the Khitan Kingdom.
Yelu Dashu was dumbfounded.
If money can still be handled like this, then from now on you can do business in various places... ahem, it's business, so you no longer have to worry about the transportation of money!
What makes Yelu Dashu regretful is that at present, Yun's Trading Company's bank only exists on the Yun Family Army's territory, and not in other places.
However, Yelu Dashu was not depressed, but rather excited.
If there are no other places, it will not affect us Khitan people from opening banks!
To study, you must learn all the advanced experience here, and start it on the territory of the Great Khitan after you return!
The more Yelu Dashu thinks about it, the more beautiful he becomes. After he returns to the country, he will bring back the advanced experience here and receive a commendation from the emperor, and his noble status will probably be improved...
Unable to help himself, Yelu Dashu burst out laughing!
If Yun Chao knew what Yelu Dashu was thinking, he would definitely give him thirty-two likes.
The reason why Yun Chao dares to disclose these things is that he is not afraid of others imitating them.
Whether it’s economics or finance, one person can’t handle it.
The more people participate, the more interesting it is.
He doesn't mind others imitating, let alone copying.
This thing cannot be learned by looking at appearance, it mainly depends on management level.
It is not that the Dawu Dynasty never issued banknotes.
Jiaozi was once popular in the Dawu Dynasty.
It's a pity that the guy in charge of the distribution was too greedy and worked hard to distribute it. As a result, it ended up being ruined on the street, and everyone didn't want it.
Without a clear enough mind, the perseverance to restrain greed, and the corresponding system, whether it is issuing banknotes or playing finance, it is purely a trap. It will not only trap others, but also eventually trap yourself.
Yelu Dashu's caravan had been in the city for several days. If it weren't for a secret mission, Yelu Dashu would have wanted to stay.
Especially the special industry of Dongping Mansion has simply refreshed the outlook of everyone in the caravan.
The young lady is not only young and beautiful, but also speaks well and is also very clean.
The most important thing is cleanliness.
All of them were clean and clean, and their bodies smelled better than most of the young ladies they had come into contact with!
