Chapter 54 Big Business

When Yun Chu leaned on the bay red horse to drink, he couldn't help but sigh - the political environment is different, and the way he does things must also change.

In the past, concealing things from the emperor but not from others was the political ecology that Yun Chu had experienced. Now, people don't even hide things like robbery, theft, and violations from the emperor, so some of the experience Yun Chu accumulated in the past is no longer needed.

Naha got irritated by the maggot-like pupa on the bay red horse's back, so she sat on Yun Chu's neck.

Yunchu was a little helpless. After returning to Chang'an, it was time for a girl of her age to learn to read and learn to be a girl. How could she sit still with her temperament, which was more boyish than boys.

Old Monkey is a very good teacher, but since entering Yumen Pass, Ding Dayou's agreement with Old Monkey and this group of Hu merchants has been completed.

Ding Dayou didn't want others to see his dignified captain Zhechong Mansion hanging out with a group of worthless barbarians, so he sent Old Monkey and the others away early.

Yun Chu always felt that after leaving Ding Dayou, Old Monkey and the others seemed to be quite happy. They did not stay at Yumen Pass for a moment, and rode on their camels and headed towards Chang'an.

Seeing Naha rubbing her face against her brother's face, Yunchu realized for the first time that he had brought a scourge back from the Western Regions.

This child's skin is not white enough. She might be better off if she is kept in a room. This child doesn't like to be clean. It doesn't matter. It will be nice to find two more nannies to take care of her hygiene in the future. This child likes to eat randomly... This It doesn't matter, I'll just cook more often from now on.

...It would be difficult for her to wear the complicated clothes worn by girls in the Tang Dynasty, as well as to read, write, and become a female celebrity.

Coupled with her appearance, it should be very difficult to find a good husband in Datang.

People in the Tang Dynasty liked Hu Ji, not a blond and blue-eyed wife. This was clearly understood.

Yunchu's troubles didn't last long before Ding Dayou called him to divide the spoils.

They have a lot of goods and a lot of manpower, so they plan to take all the goods to Chang'an and hand them over to the emperor to earn the maximum profit.

Yunchu's goods were few, and most of them were gold, and there were only dozens of camels. Ding Dayou sympathized with him and gave him gold.

Therefore, what Yun Chu has most now is gold. After calculation, he has at least two thousand taels of gold.

As we all know, except for nobles and nobles, ordinary people do not use gold.

Li Yifu is now actively promoting the proposal in the court that officials above the fifth rank are nobles for their own consideration. Even if it is passed, Yun Chu doesn't know when he will become a fifth-rank official.

Far water can't quench the near thirst, we still have to find a way to convert the gold into copper coins.

However, the amount of copper coins converted from two thousand taels of gold would be at least several tons. Even if he and Naha had camels to help, they would not be able to get it to Chang'an.

So, Yun Chu began to miss the days when Old Monkey was around again. When the old guy was around, he looked annoying and dangerous. However, since Old Monkey set out on the road, Yun Chu found that it was inconvenient for him to do anything.

It is impossible to bring gold to Chang'an. Once the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty return home, they will immediately become farmers.

The soldiers of Zhechong Mansion in Shangzhou are not necessarily from Shangzhou. It is common for the soldiers to disperse all the way. When they reach Chang'an, Ding Dayou doesn't know how many of them will be left.

When the time comes, you and Naha will enter Chang'an with two thousand taels of gold?

After thinking about it, Yun Chu thought that he should discuss with Ding Dayou how to deal with the gold.

After listening to Yunchu's suggestion, Ding Dayou was stunned for a moment and said: "You are going to give the gold to Cheng Chumo here, and then ask Cheng in Chang'an to give you two thousand taels of gold and copper coins to distribute to the comrades who died in the battle. Family members?"

Yun Chu shook his head and said: "Cheng Chumo must give me at least three thousand taels of gold and copper coins. For this, I still lose a lot."

Ding Dayou tried his best to think about it for a long time and then said: "You give him two thousand taels of gold. When you arrive in Chang'an, he will not only give you the two thousand taels of gold, but also give you one more." Thousand taels of gold?

Why!

Although the Cheng family doesn't produce any good people, that guy Cheng Chumo is like a monkey with hair on his head, and he's not as stupid as you think. "

Yun Chu cupped his hands and said: "Excuse me, Captain, just ask him like this. If he is really smart, he will definitely agree. If he doesn't agree, it means he is not a smart person. I would rather take two thousand taels with me." Jin Zi followed you to Chang'an."

Ding Dayou squinted at Yun Chuyi for a while and said, "Well, I am also responsible for the death of He Yuanshan and the others. I will serve as a witness for you and ensure that it is still possible to get the Cheng family to give you the money in Chang'an.

However, if you ask for an extra thousand taels of gold, you may not be able to do it. Really, that guy Cheng Chumo is very smart. "

Yun Chu said with a smile: "You can just ask, I think there is a 80% chance that he will agree.

In fact, this is what I should say to you, Captain. Unfortunately, Captain has no foundation in Yumenguan and his family is not wealthy enough. Otherwise, you would be the most suitable person. "

Ding Dayou shook his head like a rattle.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible. Your relationship with me is not good enough to give you a thousand taels of gold for free."

"Go and ask, maybe it will be done?"

"What if someone beats me out as a bad guest?"

"No!"

Ding Dayou saw Yunchu was so persistent, and considering that their Daguanling Yamen fought desperately in Qiuci to cover his breakout, he took the visiting card to Cheng Chumo's Duweifu Yamen.

Yunchu and Naha waited at the gate of the Duweifu Yamen, waiting for news from Ding Dayou.

Two hours later, Ding Dayou came out and said to Yunchu with ill intentions: "They said that it is okay to leave the two thousand taels of gold with him, and then go to Cheng's to get the copper coins worth two thousand taels of gold. This is already a face given for the sake of the comrades who died in the battle.

As for the extra one thousand taels of gold you asked for, they said that you should ask him in person. It is reasonable to ask for it. Cheng's has plenty of gold. If it is not reasonable, breaking your legs and pulling out your teeth will not be considered bullying you.

Now, do you want to go in?"

Yunchu smiled and bowed to Ding Dayou, and then took Naha's hand and stepped onto the steps of the Duweifu Yamen.

Ding Dayou stood outside and thought for a moment, but he couldn't resist the temptation of curiosity and followed him in.

Yun Chu left a good impression on Ding Dayou. At least he was a person who could do things and get things done. This child is only thirteen this year. If he said something nonsense and angered Cheng Chumo and was beaten up by others, he wouldn't even have a chance to complain.

Of course, he was really curious. Why did Yun Chu ask Cheng Chumo for money without any reason, and it was a thousand taels of gold.

When Ding Dayou came back again, he found that Cheng Chumo was sitting on a large soft couch and looking at Yun Chu and his sister.

And Yun Chu was peeling grapes for his sister.

Cheng Chumo looked so majestic that he seemed to want to eat people, but Yun Chu didn't care at all and focused on feeding his sister grapes.

Seeing Naha's mouth full of grapes, Cheng Chumo knocked on the soft edge and said, "I want to hear how you take one thousand taels of gold from me. If you say it well, I will give you one thousand taels of gold. If you say it badly, Old Ding should have told you what I said just now.

I won't even give you the two thousand taels of gold you brought."

Yun Chu took out a handkerchief to wipe the grape juice flowing from the corner of Naha's mouth, and smiled at Cheng Chumo and said, "If you don't give it, then fine, I will go to Da Ci'en Temple and ask Master Xuanzang to ask the old master for it."

Cheng Chumo, who was shaking his feet with some pride, suddenly heard the name of Master Xuanzang and sat up straight immediately, and Ding Dayou, who was sitting on the side and eating grapes, also started to cough violently.

Cheng Chumo stared at Yunchu for a moment and said, "If the gold in your hand is related to Master Xuanzang, it would be nothing if Cheng donated another 1,000 taels of gold. You should understand that there are some things that you must not lie about, otherwise, the consequences will not be solved with your head."

Ding Dayou also quickly stopped coughing, and shouted at Yunchu with a red face, "Kid, be careful with your words!"

Yunchu smiled and comforted Naha, who was a little frightened and had her eyes wide open, and said to Ding Dayou, "Captain, the Hu man surnamed Shi you brought back is named Shi Pantuo, who had followed Master Xuanzang for seventeen years, never left his side.

The reason why he was in a hurry to enter Chang'an this time was to meet Master Xuanzang. He had many questions to ask Master Xuanzang, and most of them were related to me.

The two captains don't have to worry about this matter. When we get to Chang'an, the truth and falsehood will be exposed. ”

Ding Dayou then said to Cheng Chumo: "There is such a Hu man who just left the day before yesterday."

Cheng Chumo nodded and said: "In this case, it would be good to donate one thousand taels of gold to Master Xuanzang to build the Da Ci'en Temple. Whether it is used to print scriptures, Cheng agreed.

However, Cheng will only send this 1,000 taels of gold to Da Ci'en Temple. "

Yunchu looked at Cheng Chumo and said, "Why should my gold be sent to Da Ci'en Temple?"

Cheng Chumo smiled and said, "Master Xuanzang only needs to ask, Cheng will do his best to help even if he loses everything. How can you take Cheng's 1,000 taels of gold with just one mouth?"

Yunchu stood up and came to Cheng Chumo and said, "I have given you Cheng a big business that can make thousands of millions without any effort."

Cheng Chumo looked at Ding Dayou in confusion, and Ding Dayou spread his hands helplessly and said, "I don't know either."

Yun Chu settled Naha, who was holding his clothes, and said to Cheng Chumo, "My two thousand taels of gold are left with you. When I return to Chang'an, Cheng will give me another two thousand taels of gold in copper coins. Isn't there any cost in the process?

The reason why I didn't spend a single copper coin in the process is that the face of my captain and the faces of those comrades who died in the battle were paid to the general as expenses, right?"

Cheng Chumo and Ding Dayou nodded together.

Yun Chu said again: "Then, if a merchant who doesn't have these conditions does the same thing as me, how much will the general charge?"

Cheng Chumo said coldly: "Merchants can leave their money with me, so they don't have to transport heavy copper coins or precious gold, and they can travel empty-handed and have money to use when they arrive in Chang'an.

Similarly, if merchants make money in Chang'an, they don't have to carry money on the road. They just need to leave the money with Cheng's, and after arriving at Yumen Pass, they can take the money from me. Is this the business you are talking about?"
