Section 0669 Old Ao's sadness
Oscar Buddy was already fainting when he heard it.
Suddenly, Oscarbadi shouted in Greek: "Bring my cash box in." β
When a few relatives rushed out, the shopkeeper and clerk in the store were startled, and before they could come to their senses, four cash boxes were placed in the store, and the lids of the boxes were all opened.
"You, you." Oscar Badi pointed to his relatives and the little nobles who followed him: "Each person can choose five precious sticks, thirty precious ones, and sixty-five ordinary ones, and these can be taken home as gifts." β
The official of the Ministry of Rites, who had been following behind without speaking from beginning to end, hooked his finger at the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper trotted up to him, only to hear: "These people are going to spend money here, and they will spend a lot of money." Remember, don't lose the etiquette, etiquette, and prestige of the Tang people. β
"Clear."
The shopkeeper gathered more than 20 people from a neighbor's store, and everyone came to help.
That's just for the head.
The shop next to it is for rings, bracelets, necklaces, etc. The shopkeeper also sent his own clerk to help.
Oscar Buddy did enjoy the process of counting the money, and his fingers were already sore before he even counted a thousand pieces, so he had no choice but to ask the clerk to count them.
I saw that the clerk took out a tray like magic, this is a special tray, and it is full of 500 pieces.
While the second store was still checking out, Oscar Buddy had already run into the third store, the perfume and powder shop.
Datang is not modern, Datang men's perfume consumption is at least twice as high as that of women, seventy percent of the perfume here is for men, and two percent are for both men and women, and only one percent is women's perfume.
"Official, look at this ......," the two shopkeepers stood in front of the one in the Ministry of Rites, pointing to the last two cash boxes.
"It's okay, just let him make an IOU and send it to the willow horse."
"Is this appropriate?"
"Yes, this is arranged by Liu Juma, this is a very special guest, I am not afraid that he will spend money, but I am afraid that he will not spend it. Do you understand? β
"Clear, but this hasn't gone upstairs yet?" Although the shopkeeper said that he understood, he also had a bit of a headache when he looked at the goods that had been piled up after being packed over there. The one from the Ministry of Rites pointed at Oscar Badi: "You go over, just say that the goods have been packaged, and then hand them over to him, and they will naturally go home if they can't carry them." Tomorrow will talk about tomorrow. β
"Clear."
The shopkeeper immediately ordered the men to get to work.
Every precious level of hairpin, comb, hairpin has a beautiful wooden box, this wooden box is fumigated with fragrant wood powder, with its own fragrance. The precious level is the brocade box, there are no low-end goods here for a few pennies, and the cheapest is around 30 wen, and it will also be accompanied by a box.
Hundreds of boxes are packed into large rattan or bamboo boxes.
Oscar Buddy, who was hesitating at the third store, was startled, and it was a big pile.
"My original sixteen chests can also hold some."
The treasurer replied, "The sixteen chests are full, and these are the rest." β
"Oh my God, how many ...... did we buy?"
A list was handed over along with a bill, and it was clear that the sixteen boxes of coins were far from enough, and that there were more than twenty-four thousand copper coins missing.
The bill was somewhat embarrassing for Oscar Buddy.
In fact, he had no money.
It's not that he's poor, it's that his money is on the other side of the world, where he may be a little stressed about the sixteen boxes containing tens of thousands of gold coins, but eighteen thousand gold coins are not a problem.
He has a ship, and that ship is a broken sampan compared to Datang's high-speed 500-material all-sail battleship.
There was cargo on the ship, and after his attachΓ© changed the clothes of the Tang Dynasty nobles, there was basically not much of it. There are a few particularly valuable gifts, and there are no gifts for the Tang Emperor.
But at this moment, the people in the East Changping Money Village sent sixteen more cash boxes, and they didn't even let the receipts hit, and they were piled up directly in front of Oscar Buddy.
While the rest of the shopkeepers gathered around, Oscar Buddy lost the joy of shopping.
Spending money on things is a very happy thing, but shopping makes others constantly pay for themselves, and normal men don't like this feeling.
After giving the sixteen boxes of copper coins to his retinue, Oscar Buddy prepared to find Willowwood.
He planned to have a good talk with Liu Mu, he saw Liu Mu's wealth circle, and he also believed that he could have his own coins, such as transporting many goods that the Tang people liked from Rome, such as transporting these exquisite goods of the Tang Dynasty to Constantine.
For example, a whole boatload of silk.
When Oscar Badi arrived at the east gate of the imperial city, the doorman told him that Liu Juma was not at home, and he went to the Yijun Palace.
Asking for directions, Oscar Buddy went to the palace of the king of Yijun again.
Qin Qiong only returned to Chang'an at noon today, Qin Qiong didn't need any pomp and circumstance to return to Chang'an, and only brought a dozen personal soldiers and a light car Jian Cong rushed back from Suzhou.
Qin Qiong's study.
Liu Mu asked Qin Qiong: "Big brother-in-law, what about the two guys?" β
"Do you think they'll come back?" Qin Qiong handed a sealed steel cylinder to Liu Mu as he spoke: "This is the list, there are no more than five people who know this list, and less than thirty people know some of it." All samples have been sealed and sent to Huayuan. β
Yanagi tucked the list into his arms.
Qin Qiong said, "Aren't you going to show this list to the saints?" β
"I'm thinking, pick out the useful parts and show them to the saint, the saint is busy, very busy. The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty surrounded and chased the saint to ask for money, and the most ruthless was the eldest brother-in-law, the one who had the most headache, Yao Silian. β
"Yao Gong is just a little sour, but he is still good. As long as you don't let me sit and talk with him, it's all right. β
Yao Silian is a great sage, a great Confucian, and he must speak a word of etiquette in everything.
Qin Qiong asked again: "Yao Silian is chasing the saint for money, what is he going to do?" β
"The Yellow River, which he wants to build in 15 years, will be flood-free. It sounds great, it's attractive, and he doesn't count how much it costs, how much work, how much material. Fifteen years...... Ha ha. Turn fifteen years in turn I believe. "Liu Mu knows how difficult it is to control the Yellow River.
If he chooses to build a railway from Chang'an to Bashu and comprehensively control the Yellow River, Liu Mu must think that it will be easier to build a railway into Bashu.
Even if it is difficult to go to Shu, it is difficult to go to the blue sky.
Qin Qiong also thinks that fifteen years is impossible, and the Yellow River will require several generations of hard work and countless coins to achieve results.
However, Qin Qiong didn't say anything, he was already a calm person, and now he talked even less after managing Shen Cewei, because he knew too many secrets, so much so that when he spoke, he was half a beat slower than others.
