    This wooden box was painted red and stood out in the corner. Although Chen Wanrong was curious about what was inside, he was a well-educated person and would not be rude enough to follow him to get a closer look. Instead, he sat down  Sitting on the chair, he didn't look sideways, even if the box contained gold and silver treasures, he didn't intend to take a glance at it.

    Li Qingquan locked the box and turned around to see that Chen Wanrong had not even glanced at the wooden box. He was sitting quietly on the chair. He had a good impression of Chen Wanrong, a well-educated man. He patted Chen Wanrong on the shoulder and expressed his approval: "  Wan Rong, let me pay you the money first. Si Guan¡¯s money weighs several kilograms, and it¡¯s inconvenient to carry it with you. I¡¯ll break it into silver for you, okay?¡±

    The consistent money is a thousand texts, how heavy is it?  Just imagine the weight of a thousand coins.  Of course, there is a big difference in weight between the copper coins of the Tang Dynasty and the coins we use. Siguan coins are four thousand copper coins, which is indeed not light and is very inconvenient to carry around.

    His proposal was really for Chen Wanrong's benefit, and there was no reason to disagree. Chen Wanrong smiled and said, "Thank you, Mr. Master, for taking the trouble." If it were someone else, he would say I'll pay you, and put the four strings of money in one click.  It has nothing to do with him whether he takes care of you or not. It is really touching that Li Qingquan can consider this step. Chen Wanrong is sincerely grateful.

    "Wan Rong, here are one or two silver ingots, four ingots in total. You should put them away." Li Qingquan said, putting the silver ingots in his hand on the table.

    The circulating currencies of the Tang Dynasty included Kaiyuan Tongbao, silver and gold.  One thousand coins equals one tael of silver, one tael of silver is exchanged for one tael of gold.  Copper coins are used in daily life, silver is used for large transactions, and gold is used for larger transactions.  Gold is also used in the market, but not much.

    Chen Wanrong took a look and saw four silver ingots on the table. They were shining and very beautiful.  Holding it in your hand, it has a gentle texture, very smooth, and does not feel rough at all. The level of silver smelting in the Tang Dynasty was very high, and it was definitely not lower than the casting level of Kaiyuan Tongbao.

    Caressing the silver, Chen Wanrong once again lamented the wisdom of our ancestors, which makes people convinced!

    When Chen Wanrong and Li Qingquan met for the first time, they knocked copper coins and listened to the clear and clear sound. Li Qingquan thought that Chen Wanrong was crazy because of poverty, and was very disdainful.  This time, he didn't dare to have such contempt, and smiled and let Chen Wanrong toss him around.

    "Thank you, old man." Chen Wanrong thanked him and put the money into his arms.

    "You're welcome, you're welcome." Li Qingquan was extremely cordial. He put an ingot of gold ingot on the table and said, "Wanrong, just prepare the tanning agent and send it over. These five taels of silver are the deposit I paid."

    Two hundred kilograms of tanning agent sold for twenty guan, which is twenty taels of silver. Li Qingquan immediately paid a deposit of five taels of silver. This was beyond Chen Wanrong's expectation. Chen Wanrong thought he could pay one tael.  The deposit of silver was pretty good, so I couldn't help but be stunned: "Old man, this is too much, just pay a deposit of one or two."

    Li Qingquan laughed like a pistachio, and patted Chen Wanrong on the shoulder: "Wanrong, it's okay, it's okay. Can I still not trust you?"

    When did he trust me so much?  Chen Wanrong looked at Li Qingquan, and saw that his eyes were clear and bright, and his gaze was calm. He couldn't help but smile when he looked at Chen Wanrong. This expression was definitely not fake, it was sincere.  Chen Wanrong thought that after three days of separation, he would be treated with admiration. This was absolutely true. Li Qingquan had interacted with me several times, and he respected me more and more: "Being respectful is not as good as obeying orders, so I would like to thank the old man."  Chen Wanrong took the ingot into his arms.

    Li Qingquan put the last ingot of gold in his hand on the table and said with a smile: "Wanrong, these five taels of silver are my token of thanks for you. Please accept it as a small gift."

    "Xie Yi?" Chen Wanrong was a little confused and asked in confusion: "Excuse me, old man, where do you start talking about this?"

    Chen Wanrong is in urgent need of money now, but he is a very principled and ambitious person. He cannot get any money, but he must get it with peace of mind. It is my talent, and even a hundred taels of silver cannot be taken if it is not mine.  Yes, we must ask for clarity on this matter.

    "Sit down and talk, sit down and talk." Li Qingquan asked Chen Wanrong to sit down, and then sat on his chair, stroking his belly and explaining: "Let me give you the bottom line, I am serious about making fur.  I didn't expect it. I looked at the leather and have been thinking about how to raise the price, but I never thought of making fur. Although using your tanning agent to make leather is excellent, it is not profitable. After all, making boots can't ask for high prices. Making fur is different.  Yes, there are many rich people in Chang'an. They have money. As long as the goods are good, the price is not a problem. You can buy whatever you want. With your idea, if I do it for a few years, I can use it for several lifetimes.

    "This little money is not much, it's just a little bit of meaning I gave you. I haven't done it yet, and I know I can't make a mistake, so I have to accept this money no matter what. When I do it, I will do it later."?, I won't forget you.  "He patted Chen Wanrong on the back of his hand. It was very sincere and didn't seem like he was telling lies.

    He is luring the little white rabbit with carrots again. The phrase "I will never forget you" is a hint that Chen Wanrong will give you something good in the future. This five taels of silver is just a small thing.

    In Chen Wanrong¡¯s impression, Li Qingquan was the kind of person who was petty and petty. It was really unimaginable for him to spend five taels of silver as a token of thanks.  When they first met, Li Qingquan spent a long time talking to Chen Wanrong for forty cents, but now he generously took out five taels of silver to thank Chen Wanrong. Although Chen Wanrong was smart, he wanted him to accept it all at once.  This is true, and it¡¯s a bit difficult.

    Chen Wanrong touched his forehead and pondered. My original intention of coming up with this idea was just to sell more tanning agents and earn more principal. I never thought about collecting cash.  This idea of ??mine can definitely be called a golden idea. If an idea company in modern society comes up with such a golden idea, the fee will definitely be not low, it will be much more expensive. Xie Yi, who charged him five taels of silver, is actually nothing. He said: "Old man  , why is this so embarrassing? They are all from the village, isn¡¯t this too foreign?¡±

    "Hey! Wan Rong, if you don't accept it, you're going to show off. Take it, take it." Li Qingquan kept urging.

    "Thank you very much, old man!" Chen Wanrong still appreciated Li Qingquan's generosity and thought that there is a very good saying in his heart: "There is no unchangeable person in the world. A coward can become a warrior, it depends on how you change him."  After dealing with me several times, Li Qingquan, a stingy guy, became more generous.

    After putting away the silver ingot, Chen Wanrong stood up and was about to leave: "Old man, there are many things at home, so I will go back first."

    "Sit down, sit down!" Li Qingquan did not let Chen Wanrong go, but forced Chen Wanrong back to the chair. Then he sat down and stroked his belly: "Wanrong, you have a lot of things at home.  I know this very well. What countryman doesn¡¯t have some work at home? I want to take up some of your time to discuss something with you."

    If things in the business field have nothing to do with you, it is better to be less involved. If it is good, it will be good. If it is not good, it will make you feel embarrassed. Chen Wanrong hurriedly shied away: "Old man, what you said is too serious. I have never done it."  Don¡¯t dare to say too much about buying and selling.¡±

    "Wanrong, don't worry too much. I just want you to help me think about it." Li Qingquan was afraid that Chen Wanrong would think too much, so he went straight to the topic: "Wanrong, I have thought about it. The most valuable fur in this fur is the fox."  Qiu, I plan to mainly make fox fur, what do Wanrong think?" He looked at Chen Wanrong for a moment, eagerly waiting for Chen Wanrong's affirmation.

    Fox fur is the most valuable. He chose to focus on fox fur. His vision was very sophisticated. Chen Wanrong sincerely praised: "Old man, your vision is amazing! Fox fur is a treasure. Lord Mengchang was trapped in Qin because of this.  He used a dog thief to steal King Qin Zhao's fox white fur and gave it to King Qin Zhao's concubine before escaping back to Qi. It's not impossible for the old man to make fox fur, but there is one thing. Where can I find this fox fur?  "

    The term "rooster crows, dog robber" is related to the fox fur. It is a popular allusion, and Chen Wanrong has long been familiar with it.

    Li Qingquan clapped his hands and praised: "Wan Rong has a unique vision, and he hit the key point in one sentence. This is what I think about this. We have a good fox hunter in Luojiadian. Foxes are very cunning, but foxes are not  He is cunning, as long as the fox can't escape from his grasp. I plan to collect the fox skins he hunted. I don't need to do a lot in a year, I only need to do three or two, and I will make more money than I did in the past three years.  A lot more. And with the money I make from leather, I¡¯m definitely going to make a killing this year.¡±

    After a pause, he leaned forward, cleared his throat and then said: "Wan Rong, I heard that the best fox skin is the one as big as the armpit and paw. After beating the fox, you must peel off the skin before the fox dies.  After finishing it, the fox fur will be soft, beautiful and good-looking. This is incredible, one piece can be worth this amount, five thousand taels of silver. I will be satisfied if I make one piece a year. If the female fox armpits are the same color  Skin, that is a rare treasure, priceless, if I can do one in my life, it will be a sign of merit for my ancestors."

    Chen Wanrong knew that fox fur was valuable, but he did not expect that fox armpit fur was even more valuable. His eyes widened when he heard this.  Li Qingquan was very happy to see Chen Wanrong like this, and said in a show-off manner: "Wanrong, this is an allusion, called 'gathering armpits into fur'."

    "Gathering armpits into fur?" Chen Wanrong suddenly remembered the Chinese teacher's explanation of this idiom "Students, gathering armpits into fur" means that beautiful fur clothes are made from pieces of leather. Learning and making  "A truth needs to be accumulated bit by bit", which has the same meaning as the famous saying in Xunzi's "Encouragement to Learning", "If you don't accumulate small steps, you will never reach a thousand miles", encouraging students to accumulate knowledge.  But the true meaning was hidden, and the Chinese teacher¡¯s teachings were too specious.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
