Fang Jinshi put this strange ax back into the cloth bag, and then said: "I thought there was something so powerful about this Persian piercing axe, but now it seems that it is ordinary."
Huang Jinmian on the side said: "This ax is as sharp as a sword, how can it be ordinary?"
Fang Jinshi asked strangely: "How do you know?"
Huang Jinmian said: "Look, this cloth bag is cut like this. Of course it is sharp." Fang Jinshi then noticed that the several layers of thick cloth bag were all cut, and the tip of the ax was exposed. The ax is no more useful than a sword. For chopping, it is not easy to make the blade so sharp.
Fang Jinshi said to himself: "I don't know if Shopkeeper Ji has gone to Bianliang City or not."
Huang Jinmian said: "Do you want to take this ax to Bianliang's home?"
Fang Jinshi smiled and replied: "It's useless to bring it home. I want to give it to Song Qian to see if this piercing ax can be used as a reference." He still remembered the skillful craftsman Song Wuge, although he didn't know much about making weapons. Craftsmanship, but Song Qian understands it.
He put away the piercing axe, lay down in front of the bed, stretched deeply, twisted his neck and shouted, "I'm so tired."
Huang Jinmian walked over and closed the door, squatted down next to him, and took off his shoes for him. Fang Jinshi reached out and shook her hand and said, "Think about the past, you always scolded me and said something bad about me. Why did you do that at that time?" I would have thought that he would be so good to me in the future.¡±
Huang Jinmian sat next to him, blinked and smiled, lowered his head and said: "It was the past, but now my identity is different. I am your concubine, so naturally I have to serve you well."
Fang Jinshi reached out and hugged her and said, "Wife or concubine, they are all the same in my eyes, there is no difference."
?? Huang Jinmian said: "The difference between superiority and inferiority is so great. Sometimes I will make myself angry just thinking about it. At that time, I was still trying to win over you, but in the end I could only be a concubine."
Fang Jinshi laughed loudly. He stood up and knocked Huang Jinmian down, pinched her cheek and said, "Okay, when she comes back from Bianliang, I will make her my concubine, and you can be my wife."
Huang Jinmian also knew that he was just joking, and she herself felt that Liang Cuirong was much better than her in dealing with people and dealing with worldly affairs and family affairs. She had no intention of competing for this status, and she was just talking casually.
The newly made stamp fell out of Fang Jinshi's arms. He picked it up and stamped it on the golden cotton arm with a smile: "I'll give you a stamp, and this arm will be mine."
He was just playing for fun. Huang Jinmian hooked his neck and said, "Forget about my arms, my whole body is yours. Do you want to burn my love scars?"
Fang Jinshi asked strangely: "Love scar, what is that?"
Huang Jinmian looked at him and whispered: "That's right, burn your mark on my body in a place that only you can see."
Fang Jinshi¡¯s eyes widened and he said, ¡°What should I use to burn the mark?¡±
Huang Jinmian said: "I'm looking for a book for you to read." She went to find a book in the desk cabinet, which was a notebook written by the literati of the Song Dynasty and later the Zhou Dynasty. Fang Jinshi read it and was surprised: "It's so cruel. Not to mention the scars on your body, even if you lose a hair, I feel heartbroken."
He closed the book and put it away, and said: "Don't read such messy books in the future. Your brain will be damaged. Go out to do business with me tomorrow."
Huang Jinmian hugged his neck with both hands and said, "I'm not going. What if I want you to burn me? After burning me, my body and mind will be yours forever."
Fang Jinshi hugged her tighter and said in her ear: "Don't you belong to me physically and mentally at this time? Give me a baby Fang Xiaoshi as soon as possible, so that the Fang family can have an heir, which is better than anything else." It makes me feel more at ease.¡±
Although he could not understand that a relatively educated woman like Huang Jinmian would use this kind of physical abuse to show her loyalty, he could feel the deep love conveyed by Huang Jinmian.
Huang Jinmian smiled and said: "What if the children I give birth to are not good-looking or smart? Will you scold me?"
Fang Jinshi said: "Then I will have a few more babies until I am satisfied."
Huang Jinmian threw herself on him and laughed, "You are really, really good at talking."
Fang Jinshi tugged on her clothes and said, "With so many clothes on, how could Fang Xiaoshi be born?"
Huang Jinmian held his head tightly, biting his ear with her teeth and whispered: "Take it off for me"
When the sun came out, Fang Jinshi arrived at Mianxian Village and arranged for Shi Hao to follow shopkeeper Hu to familiarize himself with the situation in the store and discuss the formal collection of tea. Although he collected the tea himself, he still had to cooperate with Zhou Jinpeng's Dongjiang Pinghao.Fang Jinshi personally went to Sihai Bank to collect documents and silver signatures to raise 10,000 Song Dynasty coins as the initial start-up capital. Although Ji Changan had already gone north to Bianliang, he had the documents and silver signatures and did not meet anyone What an obstacle.
Li Bao actually disappeared and never came to Jinxian Village again.
Fang Jinshi just asked people to pay attention and didn't pay any more attention to this matter. Everything about collecting tea was moving forward in an orderly manner. Fang Jinshi and Zhou Jinpeng agreed on the price and spent several days recruiting troops. In Huaidong For tea merchants who have opened branches or negotiated cooperation in various places, he officially put up the signboard of Sihai Tea House and found a shop in the south of the city not far from his residence as the main branch. These are very expensive. The thing is, in a few days, there will be very little left of the 10,000 Song Dynasty coins.
Fang Jinshi had no choice but to let Deng An and Shi Hao take the money signatures and documents to Sihai Bank to withdraw more money. He waited at Jinxianzhuang for more than an hour. A guy who followed Deng An and the others to withdraw the money came back and reported that he should Go there in person.
Fang Jinshi was stunned for a moment, thinking something had gone wrong? He came to Sihai Bank himself, and when he saw Deng An, he asked: "Why does it take so long? Why won't the bank give it to you?"
Deng An said: "It's not that I won't give it, but they said that the rich shopkeeper has told me that he can only give money to Liao Dynasty, not Song Dynasty."
Fang Jinshi said: "The Liao money on the market is still usable, and it has hit the bottom. It will never fall again. Liao money will be Liao money."
Deng An said in a low voice: "The bank did not exchange Song money for Liao money at the lowest price, but only gave the same amount of Liao money. After many discussions, it was still useless, so I had to invite the young master."
When Fang Jinshi heard this, he suddenly became angry. The Liao Kingdom was actually destroyed, and Liao money had long been worthless, even less than the price of copper. Moreover, the government explicitly prohibited the private sale of copper and iron, and could only sell it to the government.
Song money is hard currency, as strong as gold and silver. On the market at this time, one Song coin can be worth more than a dozen Liao coins, and Song coins have always been officially stipulated to be only about 770 coins, but Liao coins are only Zumo. One thousand pieces.
The implication is that the Sihai Bank completely ignored the exchange rate and originally wanted to give Song money, but now it was only willing to give him the same amount of Liao money, 500,000 Song money. In this case, it could only be a few tens of thousands. .
Fang Jinshi knew that Ji Changan had gone to Bianliang City at this time. Fu Zhirong had been in charge of Sihai Bank these days. He did not expect that he would come here. Fang Jinshi grabbed a Sihai Bank clerk who was passing by and asked: "Where is Shopkeeper Fu?" ?¡±
The guy pointed to the second floor. Fang Jinshi took the documents and the banknotes to withdraw money, and went up to the second floor to find Fu Zhirong.
Fu Zhirong was taking a cup of tea and savoring it. He was the only one in the room. When he saw Fang Jinshi coming in, he laughed, stood up and said, "What a rare visitor. The gust of wind brought the young master here. I asked someone to give him a drink." How about making a cup of tea, young master."
Fang Jinshi was disgusted by his deliberate pretentiousness. He walked up to Fu Zhirong, threw the documents and the banknotes on the table and said, "Shopkeeper Fu, what do you mean?"
Fu Zhirong pretended to be surprised and said: "I have already made arrangements for the young master's people to come to collect the money. What, are these guys neglecting them?"
Fang Jinshi said angrily: "It's obviously money from Song Dynasty, why only money from Liao Dynasty?"
Fu Zhirong then put down the teacup, slowly picked up the document and said, "Really? Young Master, please see, where is the word "Song Qian" written on this document?"
Fang Jinshi pressed his finger on the words of the document and said, "Isn't it written here? Five hundred thousand copper coins"
Fu Zhirong looked at it and said, "It only says copper money, but it doesn't say it's Song money."
Fang Jinshi said: "Businesskeeper Fu is so eloquent and eloquent. Isn't this the territory of the Song Dynasty? Of course the money was made by the Song Dynasty. It couldn't be made by the Liao Dynasty. What Mr. Fu said was that he didn't recognize the Song Dynasty." Is it done?"
Fu Zhirong smiled softly and said: "Young Master, you are serious. It's not that the rich man didn't give Song money to the Young Master, but that there is only Liao money on the counter now. Even if the Young Master withdraws all the 500,000 yuan at once, Let's go, Mr. Fu can arrange it right away. If the young master insists on asking for the money, I'm afraid he will have to wait for the first half of a year or even a year."
Fang Jinshi said coldly: "Is this what Mr. Meng Da meant?"
Fu Zhirong still smiled and said: "Mr. Meng Da is usually busy and will not interfere with the bank's accounts. Besides, Mr. Meng Da just went to Bashu, and he doesn't know about it."
Although he said so, Fang Jinshi guessed that Fu Zhirong would not have done such a thing without Cai Meng's instruction. Regardless of whether Cai Meng went to Bashu or not, he would not see Fang Jinshi in the near future, but at this time , Ji Changan went to Bianliang City.
Fang Jinshi stared at Fu Zhirong and said, "Shopkeeper Fu will definitely not arrange Song Qian for me?"
The peaceful path of prosperity and prosperity"It's not that I don't want to, but I really can't take out too much money from the Song Dynasty in the cabinet. If the young master needs it urgently, I can arrange a few thousand yuan for the young master to use. If you don't believe it, I can bring it to you." Young Master, let¡¯s go take a look at the accounts.¡±
Fang Jinshi knew that even if he went to look at the accounts of Sihai Bank, it would be in vain. If Ji Changan was here, Ji Changan would find a way for him to arrange it slowly, no matter whether there was Song Qian on the counter or not.
It¡¯s just that this rich man would deliberately refuse to give Song Qian even if there was money on the counter. Cai Meng would just put a stumbling block on him so that he couldn¡¯t do anything, and then kick him away.
Fang Jinshi's anger was useless. He went to the table to collect the documents and silver signatures. He ignored Fu Zhirong and turned around to leave. At this time, Fu Zhirong said: "There is something I want to inform the young master in advance. Listen to Mr. Meng." The husband said that Cai's consort wanted to open a branch of Sihai Bank in Bianliang City, and he wanted to let Shopkeeper Ji do it. Shopkeeper Ji could sit in Bianliang, the capital, and not have to travel so far away from his hometown in Huaidong. It was really a blessing. Make the rich jealous."
What he said was to tell Fang Jinshi that once Ji Changan went to Bianliang, he would never come back. Among the Sihai Bank in Huaidong, it was natural that Fu Zhirong was the biggest.
Fang Jinshi walked downstairs with heavy footsteps, and behind him he heard Fu Zhirong's voice still saying: "Young master, walk slowly, come here often when you have time"
