"You should inspect it here first, but there is no need to rush to load the car. I have other business to do with you!"
Although it is May now, if you want to eat fresh fruits like lychees, you really can’t eat them anywhere else.
When Liu Yishui came here this time, he specially ordered several lychee trees to be placed in large flower pots.
Then the trees and pots were brought to Jinyang along with the money convoy.
Only a few dozen are picked from the tree every day and placed on the display board in the front hall for show.
Liu Deng has never known what it means to be polite. He hasn't eaten lychees for a long time, and now he can't bear to see lychees.
I started eating it right away, looking like I couldn't stop.
"Your Highness, wait a moment, I will send someone to check right away!"
Since there is no need to unpack and inspect each item one by one, the inspection speed is immediately much faster.
Each of the boxes Liu Deng brought contained exactly one thousand guan of copper coins. They only needed to open the seal, take a quick glance, and then re-seal it.
It only took less than an hour to count 1.2 million copper coins clearly.
"Your Highness, I wonder if there is any other business you want to do?"
Zhao Fengchun asked with an apologetic smile on his face.
"Now that we have verified clearly, for such a large amount, shouldn't you give me a discount? After all, these copper coins are exchanged for gold and silver, but you will benefit from it!"
Liu Deng said with a smile while eating lychees.
In such a short period of time, he had already eaten seven or eight plates. The lychee tree behind him was already less than half bald. Zhao Fengchun hesitated for a moment, but he was not too embarrassed.
"How about this? How about I give His Highness a small change, one thousand two hundred coins, and exchange it for one tael of silver?"
Zhao Fengchun gritted his teeth and said.
"This price is quite fair, so let's go with it! If you calculate it this way, it should be 1.2 million taels of silver, right?"
Liu Deng said vaguely while eating lychees in his mouth.
"Yes, that's the number!"
Zhao Fengchun did some mental calculations and then said.
"Well, give me all these 1.2 million taels of silver and exchange them for five baht from the court!"
Liu Deng spoke again.
Zhao Fengchun blinked, not understanding what Liu Deng meant by doing this...
"Any questions?"
"No, no problem, I'll redeem it for you right now!"
Zhao Fengchun also couldn't figure out what Liu Deng meant. Just as he was about to go to the back to ask Liu Yishui, he was stopped by Liu Deng again before he even took a step forward.
"Don't worry, you just need to calculate the numbers first, I have other business to do!"
Zhao Fengchun was even more embarrassed. What on earth did Liu Deng want to do?
But he didn't dare to delay, he just found a few accounting offices.
"Your Highness, after the exchange is completed, it will be 1.68 million coins. I wonder if your Highness has any other instructions?"
Zhao Fengchun wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and asked.
"I heard that if you save money here, you can get an annual interest rate of five cents?"
The lychees were so delicious and juicy that Liu Deng couldn't get enough of them. Now his hands were really filled with lychee juice.
Zhao Wengu was already watching dumbfounded. She seemed to understand what the king wanted to do.
"There is such a thing. No matter when you withdraw it, it will be calculated based on the annual interest rate of five points. What do you think, Your Highness?"
"Yes, I just want to save money, so I will keep this 1.68 million yuan with you first!"
Liu Deng continued without raising his eyes.
"Of course it's no problem! Young one, go find someone to issue a bill for you!"
"Go, go, I can't get enough of this Lingnan fruit. Your plate is too stingy. Please order someone to get some!"
As Liu Deng spoke, he asked Zhao Wengu to sit across from him, and then reached out to push the plate of lychees in front of him towards her.
It's a bastard not to take advantage of it. It's really not an easy task to transport these lychees from Wu in these days.
Now that there are free lychees to eat, Liu Deng is not in a hurry and simply takes Zhao Wengu here to taste the lychees.
"Since your Majesty likes it, I will order more people to take it down!"
In any case, Liu Deng sent them more than one million copper coins, which was really a great thing for them.
As for such a small amount of lychees, it was nothing compared to the business of more than one million yuan, so he immediately ordered people to pick it again.
It was not long before Zhao Fengchun came back with a smile and a piece of red mulberry paper, and then handed it to Liu Deng.
"Your Majesty, this is your ticket, please keep it!"
Zhao Fengchun said with an apologetic smile.
"I heard that if you borrow money from abroad, the annual interest rate is six cents. Is there such a thing?"
Liu Deng asked seriously.
"This is indeed what happened, but do you still need to borrow money, my lord? Who in the world doesn't know this? Your lord, you are making a lot of money every day!"
Zhao Fengchun said with a smile.
"Who makes this year bad? Even if I am the king on behalf of the king, there is no surplus food in the landowner's family! I brought some bills here today. I don't know how much I can get in exchange for using these things as collateral. Copper coins?"
Liu Deng finally put down the lychee in his hand, but Zhao Wengu ate faster and faster.
"You still need to read this before giving the king an exact number..."
Zhao Fengchun said with some embarrassment.
"No problem, bring it in!"
Liu Deng clapped his hands as he spoke, and Du Ziteng immediately carried two huge wooden boxes in for the patient.
After opening it, it was full of red salt stamps. Zhao Fengchun felt a little embarrassed now.
To say that this thing is not money, in the entire Han Dynasty, this thing seems to be more popular than copper coins.
But he also knew in his heart that no matter how much this thing was worth, as long as he dared to accept these two boxes of things, Liu Deng would definitely have two carriages pulled over.
By then, no matter how much money he has in his hand, it will all be exchanged by Liu Deng.
Without the copper coins in his hand, he couldn't use these salt stamps to lend money to others, right?
When guests come to withdraw money, he can't just give them salt stamps, right?
"What? You won't accept it?"
While Liu Deng was talking, his eyes were looking at the bill on the table that Zhao Fengchun had just handed over from time to time.
Zhao Fengchun felt a little bit stuck. Now he understood. The reason why Liu Deng took the 1.2 million copper coins was clearly to not give himself any excuses.
"If you can't make the decision, just go and ask. I'm not in a hurry. I'll come back after you find out!"
