In this way, they chatted and entered a restaurant on the side of the street that seemed to be relatively large.

As Cao Bianjiao, he naturally wouldn't dine on the first floor, so he led his comrades up to the second floor, and when he saw that there was a seat in a corner, he went to sit and beckoned Xiao Er to serve wine and food.

When Xiao Er heard the greeting, he immediately greeted him with a smile, and after Cao Bianjiao finished ordering them, he asked with a smile: "A few guest officers, I don't know what you are ......paying for?"

Before he finished listening, the shortest brother Sun became angry, slapped the table and said, "What, are you afraid that we won't have any money to give?" ”

Cao Bianjiao's face was also a little unsightly, but he couldn't help it, and casually took out a piece of broken silver from his arms and said, "Is it enough?" ”

An ordinary meal is not settled with money. He took out the broken silver, which showed that he was not short of money.

When the little two saw it, they knew that they had misunderstood, and hurriedly continued with a smile: "A few guest officers didn't listen to the villain. The villain just wants to remind a few guest officials that the shop checkout, if you use Daming banknotes, there is a discount! ”

As soon as he heard this, Brother Sun suddenly blushed a little. Cao Bianjiao listened a little strangely, and couldn't help but ask a little curiously: "Can there be a discount with paper money?" Aren't you afraid? ”

At the beginning, Qin Wangjun saw that for the emperor's sake, he recognized the banknote as a reward. However, in their hearts, they always feel that they still feel heavy when they hold silver in their hands.

Hearing this, one of the people sitting at the table next to him enthusiastically replied, "What is there to be afraid of? The silver in the central bank of the Ming Dynasty is piled up to the sky, and I am afraid that there will be no silver to exchange? ”

"Hehe, there are many people who don't believe it for a long time, and they ran to try to exchange paper money for silver taels, and there is no problem at all!" The other person followed.

Faintly, they all have a sense of superiority in the face of foreign hillbillies, and they are also happy to introduce new things in the capital city, which makes these strangers startled, and looking at their surprised expressions makes them feel good.

There are more than one or two people who have this kind of superiority, and another person who looks like a businessman said loudly: "You think the store is stupid to make this discount!" If you collect copper coins and silver taels, you not only have to worry about the quality, but also whether the weight is accurate or not, and it is a troublesome thing to meet the guests who are calculating. With this banknote, there is not so much to do. What kind of checkout method do you think the store prefers? ”

Hearing their explanation, Cao Bianjiao and the others couldn't help but suddenly realize. Looking at the piece of broken silver on the table, they felt for the first time how could this thing be so popular!

Xiao Er looked at their appearance, and already knew that they were settled in silver instead of paper money, anyway, he also informed them of the discount, and left to place an order. When a customer on the side saw them sitting down, he reminded them: "When you finish eating and leave, you can go to the Daming Central Bank to exchange silver money for banknotes." I don't know anywhere else, anyway, in Beijing, it is the Daming banknotes that are more popular! ”

When Cao Bianjiao heard this, he was about to thank him, or his demeanor and appearance, a bit like that he was from a family, so someone reminded him: "Remember, don't change too much banknotes, just have enough in Beijing." ”

He was stunned for a moment, and then reacted, is this because he is afraid that the imperial court policy will change, and the banknotes will be smashed in his hands at that time?

Thinking like this, Cao Bianjiao was a little strange, he couldn't help asking: "Dare to ask this brother, what Daming Construction Bank, well, and Daming Royal Cement Company, don't they have so much silver exchanged for paper money, aren't they worried?" ”

For these things, these idlers in Jingshi have already discussed them. Hearing his question, several people opened their mouths to speak, but they were still answered by the first person: "Don't look at the total amount, but when the shares were auctioned, there was a limit to how much one person could buy at most." You say, for those who have money, that little money is nothing, and it's not just like our pocket money. Even if there is any problem, it will not be very distressing. ”

Another person saw the stitches and immediately added: "Yes, besides, this matter has just come out, it can't change immediately, right?" The opportunity to make money is in front of you, as long as you can earn it in the early stage, what if the rest of the money changes, right? ”

The other three were confused, and couldn't understand what they meant by their answer. However, Cao Bianjiao had read the book, and after they explained this, after thinking about it a little, he understood. He couldn't help but be a little surprised, there were a lot of rich people in Jingshi, just scrape together some money, this sum up is so big!

He thanked these people, and when he sat back at the table, Xiao Er happened to serve the wine and food quickly. When the people at the table saw it, they stopped paying attention to these lonely outsiders and started chatting again.

"There seems to be a sign on the side of the household, saying that the Daming dictionary company specializes in selling pinyin dictionaries. Have you heard about this? ”

"Daming Dictionary Company? Hehe, this is a lot of fun, right? ”

"What is that dictionary, you know?"

“……”

Cao Huachun was eating, and his ears were involuntarily erected. It's really a novelty on the Jingshi's side, everyone is curious, and he is no exception.

"It is said that all the Chinese characters of my Ming Dynasty are annotated with pinyin, as long as you master the rules of pinyin, you can learn all the Chinese characters by yourself. Well, that's it, that's what they said! ”

"It's impossible, if that's the case, why do you want to teach Mr. Scholar? It's impossible! ”

“……”

Cao Bianjiao also shook his head slightly when he heard it, and agreed with that person's statement in his heart, this is definitely impossible! Reading and literacy, you must have to teach you to read by hand, how can you know all the Chinese characters after mastering the pinyin annotations?

"Let me tell you, what kind of pinyin method is this, it is said that the emperor himself taught it."

"Yes, that's when I heard that, my neighbor's son, who was a fellow, begged his father to come to my house to borrow money and buy a copy and come back. And now I have to go to some training for an hour or something every day. ”

"Hehe, that guy wants to be a shopkeeper, right? If you really learn to read, you can't get the job of a shopkeeper under the shortage of shopkeepers! ”

"You're right, you can read with a dictionary, who would believe it? That is, like my neighbor, who wants to be a shopkeeper and wants to go crazy, he will try it! ”

“……”

Cao Bianjiao also disagreed in his heart, estimating that the guy finally spent money, but he still didn't know anything!

"By the way, what do you mean by training?"

"In fact, it is to teach them to learn the method of pinyin, you may not believe it, listen to my neighbor's son come back and say, they have a total of more than 20 people, all of them are guys, the people of the household are too lazy to teach them one by one, directly use what blackboard tools to teach! Hehe......"

When Cao Bianjiao heard this, he couldn't help but think, is this okay? This kind of deceptive thing, if you encounter it yourself, you must expose it!

However, I guess I don't have this opportunity, after all, I am literate, and I will be in the new army in the future, so it is impossible to meet it.
