The steward Fu Qiang was right in front of Gao Zhang, holding a thick account book in his hand.
Everything inside is densely packed with Arabic numerals. Ever since the Kaifeng Metal Workshop was established, all accounting has been done in accordance with Gao Zhang's requirements.
Although the most basic debit and credit accounting method was used, it was mainly complicated that Gao Zhang knew nothing about, but at least the debit and credit accounting method was enough.
On the side, there was Duan Erlang, his face was red, and he was trembling a little when he walked. He bent down carefully, for fear that he would not be able to hear the instructions of Gao Zhang, the number one scholar who was a head shorter than him.
They are now in the courtyard behind the Suzhou Chengzhou Government Office, which has become the location of the Kaifeng Metal Workshop, the Suzhou Weaving Factory, and the treasury of Duan's Trading Company.
After all, this can be regarded as the safest place in Suzhou City, second only to the state government office.
"...By the way, in three days, when all the accounts have been checked, you can escort the property back in person.
Also, remember to give this letter to your father. He will know what to do after reading it. "
"Okay, Mr. Zhuangyuan, I will definitely do what you tell me."
Gao Zhang nodded and looked at the locked warehouses.
We have to change it later. Instead of wooden buildings, we should change them all to masonry structures.
Otherwise, you will always worry that your money will grow wings and fly away.
Gao Zhang did not expect that the revenue from just such a Hangzhou International Commodity Expo would reach an extremely exaggerated and terrifying figure.
The point is that these barbarian merchants from foreign countries mostly trade by barter.
But there are also many wealthy Tibetan merchants who directly use gold and silver as trading goods.
Although some use gold and silver coins, and some use gold nuggets and silver ingots, they are all hard currencies such as real gold and silver.
This made Gao Zhang feel more and more that international trade must be carried out and must continue to be carried out.
It’s not just about getting money quickly, but the important thing is that with money, you can do whatever you want with confidence and boldness.
Even if you are trying to flatter Master, you can't just rely on your words, without even having some real things and practical information, right?
But having said that, Gao Zhang is already considering an issue, that is, whether banks should also be put on the agenda.
Large-scale trade, without corresponding large-scale currency, can only be carried out by relying on the money and silk that everyone works hard to pull and push.
The first one is too much labor cost and time cost. The second is that it can easily cause more crime problems.
Just as Gao Zhang was walking back and thinking deeply, he saw a long follower walking quickly towards him.
"Sir, Fujiwara Tadayi, a Japanese merchant, is here again, and he is accompanied by a Japanese monk."
"Fujiwara Tadai, didn't he just leave not long ago?"
Fu'an beside him couldn't help but murmured curiously.
"Thinking about it, Fujiwara Tadayi must have finally become enlightened and figured out his future path, right?"
Gao Zhang laughed, but his heart was already excited.
Okay, okay, I'm afraid you won't come. Now that you're here, why don't I shake you a little bit, ah... or let your soul sublime and transform you from a ghost into a human, then I, Gao Zhang, will Turn it upside down and write.
#####
Gao Zhang returned to the official office and saw Fujiwara Tadayi sitting there whispering with a bald monk. After hearing the footsteps, the two of them turned their heads in unison.
Gao Zhang naturally also saw a ferocious scar on the middle-aged monk's face.
The two of them saluted Gao Zhang in unison.
"Both of you, please get up quickly. Master Fujiwara, this master is..."
"Gao Xuanfu, this is my uncle. After he was forced to become a monk, he took the Buddhist name Jingjue."
Jingjue saluted Gao Zhang respectfully again.
"The poor monk came to see Gao Xuanfu. It is really my great luck, the Fujiwara clan, that my lord can be favored by Gao Xuanfu."
The title lord made Gao Zhang couldn't help but look at Fujiwara Tadayi. Your uncle called you lord?
"Gao Xuanfu, on his way back home, read through the books you gave me, but I didn't understand your thoughts at that time.
And when I returned home, I realized that Gao Xuanfu had your expectations for me. "
Looking at Fujiwara Tadai who was extremely emotional, Gao Zhang couldn't help but his heart skipped a beat. After gesturing for the two of them to sit down, he asked with concern.
"Could it be that something wrong happened after returning to Japan?"
"My fifth uncle, Master Jingyuan, and my fourth uncle, Master Jingjue. They were both forced to become monks after my grandfather passed away."
"But I never thought that even after reaching this level, those people would still want to kill them all..."
Gao Zhang listened to Fujiwara Tadayi's tearful description of the tragic fate of Fujiwara Gyotong's family.
Now, the only ones still alive in the world are him and his fourth uncle, Master Jingjue.
#####
And he was very worried that the other party would definitely not give up until they were all put to death.
So he saw the three tips Gao Zhang gave him, and decided to cross the ocean as soon as possible and come to the Song Dynasty, asking Gao Xuanfu to help.
After listening to Fujiwara Tadayi's statement, Gao Zhang looked at the uncle and nephew, whose emotions gradually calmed down, and then asked.
"I admire Mr. Fujiwara very much for your character, and I am very sympathetic to the fate of your lineage.
Since Mr. Fujiwara has come to find me, I naturally cannot stand idly by. "
"I just have a question, Mr. Fujiwara, what is your next goal?"
Fujiwara Tadai was a little confused and didn't know how to answer for a moment. After pondering for a few breaths, he glanced at his uncle Jingjue beside him.
Then he gritted his teeth and lowered his head towards Gao Zhang.
"I am now like a rootless duckweed. I am very scared in my heart. I came to see Gao Xuanfu in the hope that Gao Xuanfu can show me a clear path."
"Aren't you afraid that I will show you a dead end?"
Gao Zhang rolled his eyelids, tapped his fingers lightly on the table, and asked meaningfully.
"I know that Gao Xuanfu is a person and the path he points out, no matter how many thorns there are and how difficult the road is, I will continue to walk on it even if I risk my life."
To show his sincerity, Fujiwara Tadai even raised his hands and swore a poisonous oath to the sky.
Looking at Fujiwara Tadayi's appearance, Gao Zhang's eyes moved and fell on the two wooden boxes in the hall.
"Gao Xuanfu, this is my lord's wish. Please accept it..."
Master Jingjue on the side moved his knees, came to the two boxes, and opened the two large boxes.
The brilliant golden light made Gao Zhang, who had seen too many yellow and white things, couldn't help but narrow his eyes.
Ouch, are you trying to use your money power on me?
