Chapter 64 Anger (1)

Huo Ran received a large sum of money, but Cheng Jinzhou did not show much excitement.Whether it is his previous life or his current family, he can guarantee a good life. Cang Lazu is arrogant. When he talks about the number of thousands of taels, his expression remains indifferent, as if it is just a transaction of a few pennies.

A 13-year-old child, so calm, even if he was expected by shopkeeper Shen because of his status, he still admired him: the so-called demeanor of a child of an aristocratic family should be like this.

He couldn't help asking again: "Does the third son want a flying ticket, or cash, or gold?"

The social life of the Great Xia Dynasty was roughly between the Tang and Song Dynasties. The so-called silver notes had not yet appeared. Instead, abbreviated versions of money orders such as flying notes often appeared in the lives of the upper class.It is a cross-regional transaction certificate guaranteed by the government treasury. The holder must first deposit an equivalent amount of silver in a certain place. After verification, the treasury will issue a flying ticket and designate it to be collected at another treasury. Compared with banknotes, which have a similar amount of silver coins, flying tickets have lower requirements on the government's credibility and can also help reduce the risks for both parties to the transaction.Although it is a lot of trouble, it can basically meet the needs of businessmen.

As for the nobles, if there is a large amount of funds to be used, they are often traded in gold. With an exchange rate of 20 times, 100 taels of gold is worth 2000 taels of silver. Its volume is slightly smaller than that of bricks, and it is divided into 5 or 10 gold nudes, which is not conspicuous at all.Situations that require a larger amount of transactions often rarely occur, and the means can naturally change more.

Although it is still necessary to exchange materials in the end, it is better to get the money first, so as to have the capital to negotiate the price, so Cheng Jinzhou said without hesitation: "Gold."

Shen Ping had expected it a long time ago, and sent someone to fetch it with a wave of his hand, then made tea and chatted with Cheng Jinzhou.

The aristocratic family may not be able to use the money at any time. Whether it is handing over the money to the merchant or the court, they can't rest assured. Not a few.Cheng Jinzhou wants gold, which is just like the standard family style.

The second treasurer of the pawn shop came out with the servant who took the money. The nine gold nudes were smaller than a baby's fist, stacked in a small iron box covered with satin, and looked golden.Next to it are 9 Kuping silver nudes, with a circle of fine lines surrounding the corners.

Shi Mo stepped forward and measured it with a balance on the spot, 1850 taels of silver.The extra 5 taels of silver was not counted, and both parties breathed a sigh of relief when the money and goods were settled.Shen Ping smiled and said: "Is the third son interested in looking at my collection?"

Cheng Jinzhou waved his hands sleepily, picked out 4 gold ingots from the box and said, "I want to buy some grain and wood, and if there is cheap coal, I don't need much else."

As he spoke, he put the gold ingot on the table and said, "Let's settle our previous accounts first."

Shen Ping blinked and said with a smile: "Three months have not yet arrived, according to the rules of the pawnshop industry, the interest still has to be paid."

"That's natural." Cheng Jinzhou nodded in approval.

According to Cheng Jinzhou's request, for ordinary people, pawned items cannot be redeemed whenever they want. Many items will be used by pawnshops during the pledge period, such as ships, horses, and mule covers.

Shi Mo took out the receipt from behind, Shen Ping checked it on the spot and put it in his arms, then gently pushed a gold nude on the table with his fingers, and said with a smile: "Three is enough."

Cheng Jinzhou borrowed 400 taels, with an interest of 280 taels, and 3 taels for the 600 gold nudes. In this way, Shen Ping was 80 taels cheaper.

Cheng Jinzhou was stunned for a moment with such a generous gesture, and his eyes widened a little, before he smiled and said, "Thank you, Shopkeeper Shen."

"Just ask someone to drive the boat back later." Shen Ping's mouth puckered up in a smile, and he said again: "The price of grain soars during the lean season, and the price of coal is not cheap, but it is wood. I don't know what you want Which one do you want?"

"Good wood, it needs to be tight." Cheng Jinzhou smiled and stood up. It is impossible for a pawn shop to have these things.

"If you're planning to build a house, it's really good to buy wood now." Shen Ping guessed, "It's already time for logging outside the city, and it's freezing cold, so it's not easy to transport. The little old man introduced a place, 50 miles south of the city." There is my Shen family's manor, which produces large trees."

Speaking of this, the face of the businessman showed no intention.

Scholars would probably dismiss him with his appearance, but Cheng Jinzhou smiled indifferently and nodded in agreement.With the debt to the Covenant due today, he didn't have much time to choose.

Shopkeeper Shen sent Cheng Jinzhou directly to the mule cart, and just now he went back to the shop with his head scratched. A low-level guy saw him outside and commented: "I don't know which child from the Cheng family wants to be picked up by the shopkeeper, and it doesn't seem to be any prominent. ...",

Someone next to him immediately hissed: "Be careful, I heard that he is from the third branch of the Cheng family Qing family branch."

"The magistrate is about to die..." The person standing in the corner raised his voice intentionally, but was gagged by his companion.

Someone immediately said angrily: "You want to die."

"What's so great, my family was also surnamed Cheng back then, and my grandfather even served as an attendant for the young master of Yuezizhi..."

"That's the third young master of the Cheng family's third bedroom." The one who covered his mouth strengthened his hand and said, "It's the one who killed people in Hongrizhuang."

Hearing this sentence, the servant who was muffled immediately recovered, and another person praised: "Look at that blue screaming mule, it costs at least 50 taels of silver, it's really rich."

"50? 500 taels of silver, can you see if you can get it?" Others snorted, and the crowd immediately became noisy.

……

Cheng Jinzhou only took Mengda Menger, and rode Yueying to the south of the city, 50 miles back and forth for three hours, which can be regarded as fast with his riding skills.

Like Xiding Mountain Resort, Shenzhuang is a forest structure. The difference is that Shenzhuang will cut down a piece of forest every year for land reclamation. In the era of fighting against nature, the court and the local government will encourage similar behaviors.

The denser the wood, the more expensive it is actually, and the customer service comrade is as stingy as ever. Thanks to him not asking to dry the wood, etc., the newly felled wood also used up Cheng Jinzhou's full 1100 taels of silver. Fang is enough to repay the more than 300 star dollars he borrowed that day.As a result, he only had 100 taels of silver left in his hand.

"Go to the treasury and exchange the 100 taels of flying ticket given by Warlock Liu Kuangxing." When he got home, Cheng Jinzhou immediately ordered Shi Yan.The feeling of Chad's huge wealth and its emptiness in an instant is really as wonderful as vomiting.

Shi Yan responded, but didn't take a step, as if he wanted to speak but dared not.

Cheng Jinzhou said unhappily: "What are you hesitating?"

"Master Cheng from Longzizhi is here."

Cheng Bingxun, who is "kind and generous"?Cheng Jinzhou frowned and said, "What's wrong? Making trouble?"

Shi Yan nodded repeatedly.

The son of the Cheng family is like a vulture of the nobleman. He only eats carrion. Besides being disgusting, he is also unbearable. Cheng Jinzhou's face was condensed, and he said, "Where is the trouble? Who is there?"

"It's in the front hall. The young master and the young lady are there, as well as your other clan uncles."

Of course, the person who came to the front office at this time was not to help.Cheng Jinzhou couldn't figure out the reason, so he got up first and asked as he walked: "Does grandma know? Where is it?"

"I haven't heard of it." Shi Yan shook his head.

"Call Meng Dameng Er..." Cheng Jinzhou paused and then whispered: "Go and invite Warlock Xiang Xinxing to come over. Just invite him. If anyone else knows about it, just give up. Go ahead."

Shi Yan's eyes lit up, and he ran quickly.

Cheng Jinzhou took a deep breath, and before Meng Da Meng Er came over, he walked towards the front hall with a dull head. Before reaching the place, he heard Cheng Bingxun's yelling: "All the utensils in the house belong to the public, and no one can Take it away, and if you have the guts, guess it from me."

That tone of voice was even worse than that of a villager in the countryside.

Hearing the sound of punching punches from the side getting louder and louder, Cheng Jinzhou could only feel a wave of anger filling his chest.

Adding insult to injury is more disgusting than brothers fighting against the wall.
