A carriage stopped in front of the weaving and dyeing office.

Soon, rolls of cloth were brought out.

It is not printed or dyed, just plain cloth, and the quantity is not large, only about four or five hundred pieces, and it will be distributed as a reward before the New Year.

Wang Yan recently had the tables in his home, government office, and Jingu Garden covered with fur cloth.

He was the second person besides Shao Xun to do so, and it was said to be a custom among dukes and marquises in the Han Dynasty.

Lao Deng did this, and many people in Bianliang followed suit. However, they searched the market and found only felt carpets, not much fur cloth. At this time, Shao Xun rewarded hundreds of pieces of cloth as a year-end benefit for officials, which was just the right time.

He couldn't even calculate the cost of each horse, it seemed quite huge.

If you take into account the cost of breeding and improving machinery, the cost will be sky-high.

Fu Bao keenly smelled the stench of money, so he rushed into the palace, brought some worthless gifts to Shao Xun, and took away ten pieces of fur cloth worth a thousand gold coins.

That’s not all, she even wanted to take away the weavers and machines of the Shaofu.

"Grandpa, my daughter has been managing the business for so many years, but she only has two manors and 700 farmers. There has never been such a poor princess since ancient times..." Fu Bao followed Shao Xun and talked non-stop.

Shao Xun's head was buzzing from the noise, and he said helplessly: "Aren't you selling rattan paper in Beijing? How come you have no money again?"

Fu Bao quickly took out a piece of paper and handed it to Shao Xun.

"Honey scented paper..." Shao Xun took it and looked at it and immediately smiled.

To put it simply, this is called an IOU, which states that Liu Xiao of the Shangdang Liu family owes her eighteen dragon coins, and it is agreed that the coins will be deposited in Luoyang Market in April of the next year, and then the money will be transferred to Fu Bao's account by the Market.

In fact, the two parties were doing business in the market. Liu Xiao bought too much and finally did not have enough money, so he bought on credit.

"Are you going to transfer it to grandpa?" Shao Xun asked with a smile.

Fu Bao was confused.

"The Shaofu has a coin-minting furnace, and there is a lot of silver, as well as a few dragon coins. Grandpa will give you seventeen silver cakes, and you transfer this receipt to Grandpa, how about that?" Shao Xun asked.

"Why only seventeen?"

Shao Xun looked at his daughter and smiled without saying anything.

Fu Bao seemed to understand something, and her eyes rolled around. It seemed that it was not a loss. She had just reached an agreement with the Ji family in Xuancheng. They wanted to sell her a piece of prime cultivated land, but she didn't have the money. If she could get the money now, she could finalize the deal immediately.

"Grandpa, just give me eighteen silver cakes." Fu Bao stamped his feet and begged.

Shao Xun shook his head firmly and said, "You are my good daughter. I can give you ten more silver cakes, but not this time. It's two different things."

"Okay!" Fu Bao gritted his teeth and said, "Grandpa, go to the left storage of the Shaofu and get the silver cake now."

Shao Xun shook his head again, turned the document over, pointed to the blank space, and said, "Write."

"What to write?" Fu Bao asked.

"Write that you have handed this debt receipt over to grandpa. Next April, grandpa will go to Luoyang market to ask for the money." Shao Xun said as a matter of course.

Fu Bao turned his head and looked.

Tong Qianjin was very smart and immediately sent someone to bring pen and ink.

Fu Bao picked up the pen and wrote something angrily, then spread his hands and said, "Silver cake."

"Where is your princess seal?" Shao Xun pointed at the document and said, "Stamp it."

Fu Bao was about to cry, and said, "It's in the hands of Jialing."

"Then send someone to find the family steward and get the seal to stamp it," Shao Xun said.

After saying that, he walked straight to the weaving and dyeing office, and as he walked, he said to Tong Qianjin: "Send someone to the left storage to get 17 silver dollars."

"Yes, sir." Tong Qianjin quickly dispatched people to leave.

Fu Bao was about to follow him in, but Tong Qianjin immediately stopped him, bowed and said, "Princess, please stay."

Fu Bao glared at him.

Tong Qianjin had a blank expression on his face and refused to give in.

Fu Bao knew that this was not the time for her to be petty, so he didn't dare to get angry.

"Come in." Shao Xun had already reached the inner room and said helplessly.

Shi just came over with a smile on her face, but when she saw a beautiful woman coming, she suddenly froze.

Fu Bao walked up to Shi, looked her up and down, and sneered, "Fox girl, get out."

Shi's face turned pale and he left in disgrace.

Shao Xun felt somewhat embarrassed. He sat there, watching a group of criminal women weaving with boredom.

The talisman drove the vixen away, and money was all she had eyes for again. She walked around and looked around, marveling at everything.

"Grandpa, a piece of flower fur in the capital now costs 50,000 coins." Fu Bao's voice came from afar.

"Flowered blanket? Who wove it?" Shao Xun asked.

"It was sent from Yecheng. My daughter is still tracking it down."

"What are you investigating for? Are you from the Dali Temple?" Shao Xun said unhappily.

"It's a pity that Third Uncle won't help me check." Fu Bao walked over as he spoke, followed Shao Xun's gaze and sneered secretly. Grandpa's old illness has come back again. He has to keep a close eye on Huan Yuanzi in the future and don't let him learn bad things.

"You don't need to get involved in the matter of the quilt." Shao Xun said, "Just focus on making paper."

Fu Bao pointed to a stool not far away and looked at Tong Qianjin, but Old Tong didn't move at all.

Fu Bao giggled, walked over and moved over, sat next to Shao Xun and said, "My daughter must accumulate some family property."

"That's enough." Shao Xun said, "If you are interested, you might as well send your family commander out to find some like-minded people to see how to build a ship."

"What's the purpose of building a ship?" Fu Bao asked.

"It has its uses." Shao Xun said.

"It will cost a lot of money, right?" "It should be quite a lot."

"Forget it then." Fu Bao gave up and said, "My daughter should go to Shicheng County to buy a manor first."

"Shicheng? Whose land?" Shao Xun asked.

While questioning, he saw Ying coming out holding a shuttle, and immediately thought that this leaky little cotton jacket was in the way.

"The Ji family's." Fu Bao said, "Most of his land is in Xuancheng and Wanling counties, which are a bit far from Shicheng, so he gave it to me."

Shao Xun nodded, not wanting to ask more about the complicated relationship, and just said: "Just make up your mind. What is Shicheng Manor for?"

"I'll just grow rice and wheat. Grandpa, can I take the land in Huainan or Lujiang?"

"No."

"Jiangxia, Nanjun, and Jingling are all in Jiangbei, why is it possible?"

"That was because my grandfather was afraid that the northern scholars would be anxious, so he gave them some benefits first."

"Who wants that benefit?" Fu Bao complained, "It's a swampy land with water everywhere. It took several years to clean it up before we made any achievements. I don't know how many people cursed us in private."

"Aren't they just occupying the land while cursing? I don't see anyone running slower." Shao Xun said with a smile.

At this moment, the Minister of the Imperial Household Zuo Cang Ling came over and saluted, saying, "Your Majesty, the dragon coin is here."

"Just leave it there." Shao Xun pointed to a bamboo basket where the shuttles were placed at his feet and said.

Zuo Zangling put down the silver dollar.

Shao Xun asked again: "How many dragon coins does the Shaofu have left?"

"There are 1,329 coins in total." Zuo Zangling replied, "A new batch of silver has been sent from Jiangnan, and it has not yet been minted."

"It doesn't matter whether it is cast or not. There is not enough anyway. It's okay. You can leave." Shao Xun waved his hand and said.

Zuo Zangling bowed and withdrew.

Fu Bao blinked his eyes and said, "My grandfather's business is the most profitable in the world. No one else can match it."

Shao Xun was somewhat pleased with this flattery, especially his daughter's admiring look, which made him even more delighted.

Not long after, Princess Jingfu's household attendant Liu Miao hurried over and, under Tong Qianjin's instructions, stamped the back of the document.

After Shao Xun took it, he blew on it gently and said, "This money belongs to me."

Fu Bao asked Liu Miao to take the silver dollar away, and suddenly asked: "Grandpa, can you still give this receipt to someone else?"

Shao Xun was very happy when he heard it, and said, "It is indeed my daughter, she is really smart. Of course, you can pass it on to others. Grandpa can just write and seal it below."

Fu Bao seemed to be thinking about something.

The Luoyang market has existed for more than one or two years, and its operating mode has now been fixed - in this regard, King Xu of Zhao has made a great contribution.

Every merchant who receives a business flag receives a piece of paper for accounting, which is called an "account" because it is used for accounting by merchants.

When the accounts are settled between each other, there will always be someone who comes in and someone who goes out, and this is when mutual negotiation is needed.

You can pay it off on the spot or delay it until the next market opening. It all depends on how you discuss it.

Generally speaking, those with excellent credit can be delayed in payment, but strangers can forget about it.

Old accounts will be cleared before the next market opens, and trading will not be allowed until old accounts are cleared.

In general, business has improved in recent years. On the one hand, the environment has gradually stabilized, and on the other hand, the centralized trading model in the market has also played a very important role.

Previously, Shao Xun thought that it could be held more often in a year, but later King Zhao suggested that it only needed to be held twice a year in spring and autumn, or even once would be enough.

Nowadays, the Luoyang market is held twice a year in April and October, each time lasting fifteen days.

During these fifteen days, countless goods were gathered from all directions in the West Market of Luoyang. Merchants did not have to take the huge risk of carrying a lot of money and silk with them, nor did they have to haggle over the quality of the coins or the value of silk. With a unified accounting currency, they could just negotiate the price and settle accounts with each other.

Shao Xun was thinking about business matters, so he asked, "My dear girl, do you know that people outside the market are talking about dragon coins?"

"Of course there are." Fu Bao said, "Someone wants to buy ten healthy cattle and pay a hundred rolls of silk, but the quality of the silk varies. Now most people directly ask for three dragon coins or thirty thousand coins. Because there are still many old coins on the market, fewer people say thirty thousand coins, and most people ask for dragon coins."

Shao Xun said with emotion: "After working so hard for my father for so many years, it has finally paid off. It's really not easy."

Fu Bao nodded repeatedly and said, "Grandpa is really amazing. There is no one in the world who is more capable than Grandpa."

Shao Xun laughed out loud.

He would even feel disgusted when others flatter him.

Why are you so happy when your daughter flatters you?
He slapped his thigh immediately, forgetting even the purpose of coming here today, and said, "Let's go, have lunch with Grandpa at noon, and call your sixth sister to come with you."

"Sixth sister..." Fu Bao thought for a moment and said with a smile, "It's time to find a good family for her."

"As a sister, shouldn't you pay more attention?" Shao Xun said as he stood up and walked out.

"I'm afraid that Grandpa would say something about me."

"What did you say?"

"Sell the sixth sister."

The hearty laughter sounded again.

Shi came out again and sighed softly.

The thief Shao was clearly ready to steal the fish, but he missed the opportunity again.

His daughter is obsessed with money and is a bit fierce.

Thinking of this, Shi sneered secretly. She acted well-behaved in front of Shao Xun, and she showed off her princess power to outsiders.

Is there any difference between the royal family of the Liang Dynasty and that of the Jin Dynasty?
