Liu Deng always eats very fast, but Zhao Wengu is different. She moves gracefully when eating.
If we just talk about etiquette, it is even more elegant than Liu Deng, a vassal king. Of course, the speed is also much slower.
Fortunately, it would take time to prepare the copper coins outside, so Liu Deng was not in a hurry, sitting aside and drinking hot tea without a sip.
Of course, Liu Deng couldn't drink the oil soup that Han Confucians usually liked. The tea he drank was just water and tea cakes. The tea leaves were not roasted, so it had a unique fishy smell of vegetation.
Liu Deng added milk to it in a unique way, and then added some icing sugar. It tasted a bit like the milk tea of later generations.
This taste has conquered almost all the nobles in the palace. Even the old man who only drinks alcohol all day, after trying it once, now starts to drink milk tea from time to time.
Waiting until noon, Liu Deng led a large number of guards and went straight to the bank in the city.
"Your Highness, I didn't expect you to come in person today!"
Liu Deng had just arrived at the door, and Zhao Fengchun, the shopkeeper of Guangling Bank, had already come out to greet him.
"What's the matter? Hasn't your second young master already come to Jinyang City? Of course I will come over to take care of His Highness King Wu's business!"
Liu Deng looked at Zhao Fengchun with a smile on his face.
"It should be, it should be. This is my second young master who has just gone out. Why don't you ask His Majesty the King to wait a moment while I send someone to look for him?"
Zhao Fengchun was not sure what Liu Deng meant by coming here today. After all, anyone with a discerning eye could see that Guangling Bank was here to compete with Jinxiu Bank.
Looking at the mighty motorcade behind Liu Deng, he really didn't dare to speak nonsense for a moment.
After all, there are differences between superiors and inferiors. Liu Yishui doesn't want to come forward now. If Liu Deng tries to threaten them, they won't even have the courage to resist.
"It doesn't matter. I heard that your place has just opened and you are spending a lot of money in Jinyang City. I happen to have some spare money in my hands. Why don't you introduce it to me!"
Liu Yishui is Ye Yijian's key investigation target. He has never left Ye Yijian's sight since he arrived in Jinyang City. Now not only is he here, but Liu Deng also knows that he is in the backyard. In the guest room!
But Liu Deng didn't care. Anyway, today was here to teach him a lesson. Regardless of whether he was here or not, when he took away a lot of copper coins, he would understand where he had gone wrong.
"Your Highness, please take a look. This is the list made by my young master. I don't know, Your Highness, do you want to save money or exchange it?"
Zhao Fengchun wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and asked.
"We have them all, don't worry, I will take a look first!"
After briefly looking at the exchange ratio on the list, the smile on Liu Deng's face suddenly grew wider.
"In your case, the exchange of small coins in Wu State for silver is one tael of silver for one thousand two hundred and fifty coins? No matter what kind of exchange, it is equal in and out?"
Liu Deng asked with a smile on his face, holding the list in his hand.
"That's right, that's what happened. What do you want, Your Highness, Prince Dai?"
Zhao Fengchun asked with some anxiety.
"Don't worry, I just want to ask clearly first. The court's five baht coins are exchanged for silver, which is one thousand three hundred copper coins for one tael? If it's the other way around, one tael of silver is exchanged for one thousand four hundred copper coins?"
"That's right, we didn't decide this intentionally. It's mainly because counterfeit money has been rampant in the market recently, so we had to do it as a last resort..."
Zhao Fengchun still couldn't figure out what Liu Deng meant, but he didn't dare to offend Liu Deng.
"It doesn't matter, businessmen only pursue profits, so this is understandable!"
Although until now, King Wu, Liu Bi and others still did not understand what money was.
But this does not prevent them from cracking down on the court's five-baht money. This guy openly exchanged it. On the surface, it seems that they did lose a little money.
But in fact, everyone has a mentality of chasing the high and killing the low.
They just put up a sign and already dispelled the idea of countless people exchanging gold and silver for the court's five baht coins.
However, this also opened a huge city gate for Liu Deng!
"I have a lot of small coins from the Kingdom of Wu here. I think I can exchange them all into silver here today. Someone, bring me the copper coins!"
Liu Deng smiled faintly, then waved his hand, and immediately the driver began to drive the carriages over.
"His Royal Highness, don't you know how much you want to exchange?"
Zhao Fengchun suddenly had a bad feeling. Liu Deng was a boy who was famous for being unprofitable and unable to afford an early start. Could this guy be cheating?
"Not much, probably around 1.2 million guan!"
Liu Deng said lightly.
"Well... I'm afraid we don't have that much silver here. How about exchanging it for gold for the king?"
All Liu Deng brought this time was small money from Wu State. No matter what, Zhao Fengchun couldn't turn away the money.
What's more, in this day and age, copper coins are the most sought-after.
Whether it's silver or gold, it's a little less important. Exchanging the gold and silver in your hands for copper coins is actually a profitable business!
"Of course there's no problem with this, let's change it!"
"Please, Your Majesty, your subordinates will do these things!"
Of course, Zhao Fengchun didn't dare to let Liu Deng unload a lot of copper coins for him right here, so he quickly asked the guys to guide the carriage back while inviting Liu Deng into the house.
Liu Deng was not polite and followed Zhao Fengchun into the Guangling Bank store.
Whether it's the height of the counter or the arrangement of the furniture, everything here is exactly the same as that of Jinxiu Bank.
All the designs were created by Liu Deng, which really gave Liu Deng an inexplicable sense of joy.
"Your Majesty, since you brought all these copper coins from the treasury, we won't go through detailed inspections and just settle the bill directly in the box. How about that?"
The copper coin boxes on the carriage still had seals from the Daiguo treasury on them. The clerk in the store only opened a few boxes, checked them, and then hurriedly came to report to Zhao Fengchun.
After Zhao Fengchun heard this, he immediately turned to Liu Deng and said.
"Of course it's no problem, just don't say that I owe you copper coins all the time!"
Liu Deng said nonchalantly.
"His Royal Highness, you are joking. When it comes to doing business, you are the one. Who in this world dares to question your credibility!"
While Zhao Fengchun asked the waiter to go down and prepare, he smiled and extended a thumb to flatter Liu Deng.
