    Fang Jinshi said: "I missed you, so I came back."

    He took off his shoes and clothes and prepared to go back to sleep. Huang Jinmian closed the door and came over, asking: "It's weird to believe you. She didn't serve you well, but she showed your face and asked you to come back in the middle of the night.  "

    Fang Jinshi said: "How do you know where I went?"

    Jin Mian said: "If you don't come back so late, of course I'll ask. I'll tell you as soon as I ask. I'll tell you that you were scolded."

    Fang Jinshi hurriedly got under the quilt, fearing that she would ask more questions, so he said: "Who dares to scold me in this family? Tonight she just thanked me for inviting me to drink. Then I drank too much and lay down on the floor to sleep. When I woke up, I found that  It¡¯s not the right place, so I¡¯ll be back soon.¡±

    "I don't believe she would let you sleep on the ground" Huang Jinmian said.

    Fang Jinshi didn't wait for her to finish, he held his head and said, "I fell and hit my head. Check to see if there is any bleeding." Huang Jinmian was really nervous after hearing this. He took a candle and came over to take a closer look. In fact, it was a swelling.  It was nothing serious. Fang Jinshi carried her to the bed, put his hand into her clothes and said, "It's still comfortable to sleep with my own woman, and I feel at ease." After that, he blew out the light.

    Although he felt it was bad to run away from the orb in the middle of the night, he still did it.

    The next day was a sunny day. Fang Jinshi ran out of the house early for fear of hitting Baozhu. Before he could think of how to explain to Baozhu, he came to Jinxian Village and sat there drinking tea for most of the morning. Hu  The shopkeeper asked: "Sir, do we still want to collect tea?" Fang Jinshi said: "The signboard has been put up, how can we do it if we don't collect tea?"

    Shopkeeper Hu said: "But this money"

    Fang Jinshi did not reply to his words. He turned to Deng An and said, "Tell me, among the most difficult things in the world, is borrowing money from others a big deal?"

    Deng An said: "Of course forget it."

    Fang Jinshi looked out the window and said, "It's really difficult to borrow a huge sum of money from someone who you don't have the confidence to borrow and who you don't know very well."

    Deng An said: "Who are you going to borrow from, Master?"

    Fang Jinshi said: "On the roads east and west of Huaihe, the only people I know who can afford this kind of money are King Xiu and Cai Meng, and the other one is the Prince of Persia. At this time, the only one who can afford this money is the Prince of Persia."  Only the prince has a little hope."

    Deng An asked: "Young master, did you have a fatal relationship with the Prince of Persia?"

    Fang Jinshi laughed and said: "I have known this Prince of Persia for only a few dozen days, and I have only met him two or three times. How can we have a life-long friendship?"

    Deng An said: "There is no friendship I'm afraid it will be difficult."

    Fang Jinshi said: "Even if we have friendship, he will not lend me hundreds of thousands of dollars. Borrowing money from him does not require friendship. I only need this Prince of Persia to have extraordinary wisdom and vision and understand what I am saying. If  If you don¡¯t understand, you can¡¯t do it.¡±

    Deng An said: "Don't worry, young master, that Prince Li Ka'an can speak the Central Plains dialect and can understand it."

    Fang Jinshi was angry and laughing after hearing this. Deng An couldn't understand anything he said, but he wanted to talk to him. Shopkeeper Hu understood it and asked, "What are you going to do to convince this Prince of Persia?"

    Fang Jinshi said: "Currency swap."

    Shopkeeper Hu had never heard of this term before, and said in surprise: "Exchange, for what?"

    Fang Jinshi knew that he couldn't explain this concept to them for a while. It was too complicated for them and too difficult for them to understand. What he needed was to explain it clearly to the Prince of Persia. Businessmen pay attention to mutual benefit when doing business. This time he can  If the Prince of Persia, Li Kaan, is captured, things will be much easier to handle from now on.

    He estimated that the time was almost up, so he stood up and asked Deng An to take the prepared gifts. After thinking about it, he called Shi Hao and went to visit Prince Li Ka'an together.

    Prince Li Ka'an lived in a garden in the north of Pingjiang Prefecture. He was the brother of the king of the Seljuk Kingdom. He traveled between the Central Plains and Persia all year round. Fang Jinshi and three others came to this garden and sent greetings according to etiquette.  , after a long time, I saw Li Ka'an bringing an entourage to greet him outside the door. He was welcomed into the living room by Li Ka'an, and saw several servants collecting broken tea cups and bowls on the floor.

    Although the outside of his living room is the Central Plains garden scenery, the decoration has some desert style. Fang Jinshi saw that there were a lot of broken teacups and porcelain pieces, so he asked Li Ka'an: "Who is the prince angry with?"

    Prince Li Ka'an said: "It's not Selinkaforget it, let's not talk about her."

    Fang Jinshi nodded and the two parties sat down. Li Ka'an took the lead and said, "I was just looking for you, but I didn't expect you to come to the door. What a coincidence."

    Fang Jinshi asked: "Is there something good for the prince to take care of?"

    Lika An laughed and pointed with his finger.?, that means you are too cunning and good at talking. After he smiled, he said: "I want to buy some of the alum stone to take back to Persia, but there are too few in the medicine shop, and the medicine dealer will not sell it to me."

    Fang Jinshi asked strangely: "Why is this?"

    Li Ka'an said: "The Great Song Dynasty implemented the alum system, and this alum stone also needs to be approved by the court. I have no choice for a while, so I just want to see if you have any options."

    The imperial court implemented a monopoly on salt and iron, which had been implemented in all dynasties, but not only salt and iron, but also tea and wine were controlled. Fang Jinshi did not expect that this ordinary alumite also implemented the alumen system. Private trading was not allowed and had to go to the government  Just prescribe alumin.

    Fang Jinshi lowered his head and thought for a moment before saying: "I have to go back to understand this clearly, but I will do my best. Prince, please rest assured."

    Prince Li Ka'an said: "Okay, I'll help you. If it's really difficult, I'll think of another way. By the way, if you come to me, something will definitely happen."

    Fang Jinshi said: "Actually, I want to make a big deal with the prince."

    Prince Li Ka'an immediately became interested and asked: "What big deal?"

    Fang Jinshi considered the words in his mind, and he thought it would be better to tell the truth, so he said: "That's it, Mr. Meng Da originally promised me 500,000 Song Dynasty money to do tea business, but Sihai Bank couldn't get it from the counter.  With so much Song money, we can only give Liao money, but the price difference is too big, and the capital is far from enough."

    Li Ka'an said: "You want to get me to join the gang?"

    Fang Jinshi shook his head and said: "No, I just want to exchange these Liao money with the prince. I know that every time the prince comes to China, he will exchange the gold and silver brought on the ship to the government bank for Song money, so that he can exchange it with the merchants in the Central Plains."  Not to mention the complicated procedures for doing business, the base price will also be lower than the market price. I have five hundred thousand Guan Liao money on hand, and I want to exchange gold and silver with the prince. Is that okay?"

    Li Ka'an immediately said: "This is feasible. I also have some gold and silver on hand. Young Master Fang can come and exchange it when he makes an appointment."

    Fang Jinshi continued: "However, I want to use these five hundred thousand Liao money to exchange gold and silver with the prince at the lowest price of Song money." He stopped talking. Looking at Li Ka'an's expression, Prince Li Ka'an almost  He doesn't believe his ears, but he is well-educated. Although he must be saying in his heart, do you think I am a fool?  But there was nothing strange about his appearance. He just picked up the tea cup on the table and took a sip before saying, "Really?"

    He stopped talking. Fang Jinshi smiled and said: "I know that the prince will suffer a big loss by doing this. No one would do it like this." He changed the topic and continued: "Actually, I am  I wanted to make a pact with the prince. This agreement was beneficial to me in the moment. I exchanged the Liao money for gold and silver as much as the prince's Song money. For the prince, it was beneficial in the long run. It all depends on how the prince behaves.  Look at it, do you have this perspective?"

    Prince Li Ka'an sat up straight and said, "What is the agreement? How can I benefit from it? Please tell me."

    Fang Jinshi said: "The agreement I want to make is to exchange the 500,000 guan of Liao money for the prince's 500,000 guan of gold and silver of Song Dynasty for a period of two years. During these two years, the prince can  Use these five hundred thousand Liao money to buy goods from me, and I will sell them to the prince for Song money, and the price of the goods must be the lowest price on the market that I can believe."

    Li Ka'an seemed to understand, and waited on the spot for him to continue. Fang Jinshi continued: "It is also a two-year period. I will use the gold and silver I exchanged to buy Persian goods from the prince, which is also half a million Song coins."  The amount is also for a period of two years.¡±

    Li Ka'an thought for a moment and said, "Isn't this just like bartering?"

    Fang Jinshi said: "It's essentially the same, except how to calculate the value of barter? There are always disputes between the two parties. It is fair to use coins directly and use the market price in the Central Plains as the benchmark."

    Prince Li Ka'an sat silently for a long time, thinking about what he said. It seemed that he exchanged gold and silver worth five hundred thousand Song coins for worthless Liao coins and suffered a huge loss. But it seemed like this  What Fang Jinshi said makes perfect sense.

    Seeing his hesitation, Fang Jinshi immediately added: "In business, the best result is for both buyers and sellers to benefit. Only then can the business be long-lasting. Once this agreement is made, for me, it relieves the worry of capital, which is a great achievement."  Big benefit, but for the prince, the profit will be even greater.¡±

    Li Ka'an said: "Then please tell me carefully, where can I benefit from it?"

    Fang Jinshi stood up and said: "In my opinion, the prince has four great benefits. First, I heard that the people there do not know how to mint coins. They need coins to circulate, so I heard that the people there do not know how to mint coins.  Song money and Liao money are all the same to them. The princes exchange the copper coins from the Central Plains for their gold, silver and spices, and transport them to the Central Plains to sell them. The Song coins are 770 coins per coin, while the Liao coins are 770 coins per coin.  There are more than a thousand pieces. For the prince, this is the firstprofit.  "

    Li Kaan smiled and said: "You even know this, you are worthy of being the young master of Sihai Company."

    Fang Jinshi added: "Secondly, if the prince is trustworthy, there is no need to transport all these coins back to Persia and put them in the bank. You both agree to deduct the amount for each transaction, which saves the trouble of transportation back and forth.  , the risk is reduced, and the prince does not need to bring gold or silver next time. As long as the transaction does not exceed 500,000 yuan of Song Dynasty money, he will be worry-free."

    Prince Li Ka'an said: "What about the third one?"

    Fang Jinshi said: "Thirdly, when the prince does business with me in the future, he will be able to get the best goods at the lowest price, just like this alumite. I will prepare everything for the prince as soon as possible after I go back. The prince only needs to tell you  Just bring in whatever you need, which saves you a lot of trouble.¡±

    Prince Li Ka'an's eyes lit up and he asked: "What about the fourth one?"

    Fang Jinshi said: "The prince mentioned to me before that Persia always exchanged gold and silver for goods from the Central Plains, but the people from the Central Plains never bought Persian goods, or bought very little. The prince was deeply worried about this. In fact, this is Persia's goods."  The trade deficit with the Central Plains, you and I have made this agreement, and I will purchase Persian goods worth 500,000 Song Dynasty coins from the prince within two years, so the prince will no longer have to worry."

    Prince Li Ka'an said: "How can you guarantee that you will buy 500,000 yuan of goods from me?"

    Fang Jinshi said: "There is an agreement. Although the transaction between you and me is large, it is only bound by credibility. If you and I don't have credibility, there is no need to continue talking about this matter."

    Lika'an sat in silence for a long time, and then said: "This matter is too big to be resolved at the moment. How about you let me think about it for a few more days?"

    Fang Jinshi replied: "No rush, Prince, just think carefully before making a decision." He said this, but in his heart he was eager for Prince Li Ka'an to agree immediately
