Datang's free and easy concubine

Chapter 1385 Shooting yourself in the foot

In the study room of a luxurious manor, Li Yuandao looked at the notes and charts on the table as if fascinated. The people he sent finally copied the notes and charts, and more than one copy.

In order to prevent errors in the transcribed charts and notes, he specially sent three people to transcribe the charts and notes independently. It is impossible for the three people to transcribe a mistake in a certain place at the same time, right?

He checked with each other just now, and the three charts and notes are all exactly the same without any mistakes, so these three charts and notes should be exactly the same as those in the library.

The charts and notes are finally here!

Thinking of this, Li Yuandao couldn't help but sneered, even if Su Cheng excluded their Zhao County Li family from the Maritime Trade Association, so what?
Do you think that this will cut off their dream of the Li family of Zhaojun to run across the sea?

Even if you don't even think about it, the bearded man can find and travel around the world without the detailed charts and notes and come back smoothly. With the detailed charts and notes of the Li family of Zhaojun, can't they even get through the charts of the Western Regions? ?

"Master, master, good news, good news, the villain has found good news in Dongshi!" The steward rushed to shout outside the study in a hurry.

If the manager was so unruly in the past, he would definitely punish him, but today Li Yuandao is in a good mood, and he is more tolerant, he just slightly raised his eyebrows and said: "Why are you so ostentatious? Come in and talk about it!"

The steward opened the door and entered the study room, and said excitedly, "Master, Su Cheng went to Dongshi today and asked those merchants to fill out questionnaires, saying that he wanted to open a bank."

Li Yuandao was confused, what questionnaire?What to open a bank?I can't understand it at all.

"What are you talking about? Tell me in detail!" Li Yuandao said in a deep voice. Although he was confused, as long as it was related to Su Cheng, he couldn't help but ignore it.

The steward calmed down the excitement in his heart, and quickly explained: "Su Cheng came up with the idea of ​​opening a bank. Today's businessmen will travel far away with large sums of money if they want to do business, which is very inconvenient."

Li Yuandao was a little impatient when he heard this, and felt that what the manager said was nonsense. Of course it was inconvenient to carry a large amount of money on the road. He was also deeply touched, even though the Li family in Zhao County had a big business and had properties in many places. , It is inevitable that there will be times when you rush with a large amount of money.

"Get to the point!" Li Yuandao said in a deep voice.

The steward quickly said: "So Su Cheng plans to open money houses in various parts of the Tang Dynasty. Merchants can deposit money in it, and then only take the bills to travel lightly. When they arrive at the place, they can take out the money with the bills. Of course, they have to pay a certain amount. of……"

Before the steward finished speaking, Li Yuandao had already taken the case and said excitedly: "Wonderful! This bank's idea is really wonderful!"

The steward also said excitedly: "Yes, master, when the villain heard about Su Cheng's idea of ​​opening a bank, he thought it was a great plan. It was simply a good business for money to make money. Moreover, if Su Cheng could do this business, so could the master." do it!"

Li Yuandao laughed and said, "That's right, you're right, since he, Su Cheng, can open a bank, then our Zhao County Li family can also open a bank!"

The steward said excitedly: "That's what the villain thinks, so as soon as he heard the news, he immediately came back and reported it to the master!"

Just now Li Yuandao blamed the steward for his indecency, but now he not only did not blame the steward, but felt that the steward came back too late and should have come back earlier to report, not to mention trotting, even running wildly is fine.

Li Yuandao smiled and said: "Okay, okay, you have done a good job, you should be rewarded, and there will be rewards!"

The steward quickly said: "Thank you for your grace, thank you for your grace!"

Li Yuandao couldn't help laughing when he heard this: "Su Cheng also rejected the old man, but in the end, he gave the old man such a brilliant idea, or he shot himself in the foot!"

The steward smiled and said: "Yes, master, the mulberry elm harvested in the east corner is lost. Although it has not joined the Maritime Trade Association, opening a bank is also a big business. They all go to sea together. It is not known how much benefit they will get, but this bank If the business is done, it will be amazing, and it will definitely make the world rich!"

Li Yuandao stroked his beard and said with a smile: "You are right. Maritime trade is risky, and people may die at any time, but there is no risk in being a bank. Those merchants will flock to it. It is safe and rich in wealth. This is a great way to make money!"

"Speaking of which, should the old man thank Su Cheng? Hahaha..."

"Su Cheng has talent, but he is a little young and frivolous, supercilious. He didn't hide such a good idea, but he went directly to Dongshi to tell it. What kind of questionnaire is he doing..."

Having said that, Li Yuandao suddenly thought of something, what is a questionnaire?He just figured out what a bank is, but he still doesn't know what a questionnaire is.

"By the way, what kind of questionnaire did you say Su Cheng made? What is that?" Li Yuandao asked with some doubts.

The steward quickly explained: "Master, the younger one made a questionnaire based on the descriptions of the people in Dongshi, please read it!"

While speaking, the steward took out a piece of paper from his pocket and presented it.

Li Yuandao took the questionnaire with some doubts, took a look and suddenly realized: "So I wanted to investigate everyone's intentions, Su Cheng is really unnecessary, once the bank is opened, merchants will definitely flock to it, and it is completely possible to set a high price , is there any need for any investigation?"

The manager hurriedly laughed and said, "What the master said is that Su Cheng takes these businessmen too seriously."

But Li Yuandao quickly frowned: "You don't need to think about it, those businessmen will definitely pay a lower commission for their own interests, Su Cheng will not really set the price according to the intention of those businessmen, right? ?”

According to his idea, of course he wants to set the price higher, so that the profit will be greater, and these businessmen will definitely flock to it anyway.

However, if Su Cheng set the price low, then if the Wang's bank in Taiyuan set the price high, how could they compete with Su Cheng's bank?
"Do you know how much the merchants in the east and west cities filled in?" Li Yuandao asked with a frown.

The steward shook his head repeatedly after hearing this and said, "Master, how could this villain know? Or, the villain also printed a batch of questionnaires, and then went to the eastern and western cities to find someone to fill them out?"

Li Yuandao shook his head slightly and said: "No need, this will scare the snake. You can think about the pricing later. The most important thing now is to bring the news back to the clan as soon as possible."
