Chinese dining table

Chapter 666 Talent cannot be concealed.

Thirteen thousand camels entered the territory of the Tang Dynasty, and the first commercial event triggered was the sharp drop in the price of camels.

After these camels have traveled more than 1 miles with their load, their bodies have reached their limit. It is no longer realistic to ask them to walk another 1 miles to return to the river, Persia, or Dashi.

Therefore, the caravans from the river, Persia, and Dashi, while selling their camels, are still buying a large number of camels in exchange.

Camels that could not travel long distances could be exchanged for traders who traveled short distances, and severely damaged camels were bought by the canteen as raw meat.

This is impossible. Although the camel is known for its hard work, it is a pity that the journey it has traveled is too long and too difficult.

Therefore, the loss is huge.

However, the exotic goods brought by these merchants to Chang'an were warmly welcomed by the Tang people.

Among them, besides frankincense and myrrh, storax, ambergris, and rose water are the most popular among Tang people, especially storax can be used to smoke clothes and tents, and women like it the most. As for a spoonful of Su Hexiang, it is worth more than gold.

The big cannibal also brought a spice called chicken tongue fragrance, but anyone with bad breath who has chicken tongue fragrance can breathe out the fragrance without worrying about bad breath.

Gem jewellery, gold ornaments, gold utensils, and silver utensils are also traditional goods of the cannibal.

However, the fastest-selling and best-selling products are dates and pistachios. A bite of the former is equivalent to a bite of sugar, while a bite of the latter will make you addicted to the nutty aroma.

The above-mentioned commodities can sell very well. In Yunchu's expectation, he did not expect that the blank parchment brought by the big cannibal would become popular in Chang'an. This is what he did not expect.

The parchment roll is made by splitting the parchment into three layers. After removing the grease, it is processed by a secret method to become soft parchment that can be written on.

The big cannibals are very good at doing business. Their parchment scrolls are sold very cheaply, but the ink written on the parchment scrolls is extremely expensive.

Because ordinary ink cannot write on parchment scrolls, parchment scroll ink is specially made. They suggested that the royal family use gold as ink, ministers use silver as ink, and ordinary people use black iron as ink.

No one knows how these metallic inks came from, but, Yunchu saw some clues,
The black iron ink they used to display did not have a mark on the sheepskin scroll, but the ink would appear on the sheepskin scroll after a while.

This is obviously not an acidic reaction, but an alkaline reaction. Gold and silver should be gold powder and silver powder plus glue, which is nothing unusual.

After Yunchu and other people in Chang'an used up the man-eating metal ink, they could open a small ink workshop and earn some money for their wife.

To say that the real business-minded person turned out to be Tongban, he begged Yunchu to help him buy three slaves who could write and read from the cannibal caravan at a high price...

After ten days, then take the printed scriptures written by the Prophet who are inseparable from the big cannibals, and sell them to the big cannibals.

The cover of the scripture book is the green color that big cannibals like, and it is also elegant and simple. The packaging of the whole book is even more exquisite, especially the bronzing title on the cover of the parchment scroll, which looks sacred and inviolable.

He also learned how to do business from the big cannibal, and formulated this kind of scriptures into three types of specifications: high, medium, and low. The high ones are sold to noble people, the middle ones are sold to ordinary rich people, and the low-grade ones are sold to poor people. people.

I don't know what others think, but when the cannibal's envoy Hashem and his deputy Said saw the sample scriptures brought by Yunchu, their hair would stand on end with excitement.

One thousand of the best sutras were ordered on the spot, and Said ordered [-] of the lowest sutras.

Both of them are scholars. Those exquisite things in the Tang Dynasty are not important to them. Only these precious scriptures are hard to find.

For this reason, Hashim and Saeed spent a few days to correct the errors in the scriptures.

The two of them even deliberately engraved a line of gold characters on the title page of the scriptures in order to show their achievements as ambassadors to the Tang Dynasty-Although the knowledge is far away in China, I also seek knowledge.

Because of the arrival of giant caravans from Hezhong, Persia, and Dashi, merchants from all over the country of Datang also came.

When these merchants came to Chang'an, they would naturally not come empty-handed, and they also brought special products from various places.

All of a sudden, Chang'an's business prospered more than ten times, so that the historians recorded in the book: "If you don't leave Chang'an, you can get it from all over the world."

In ten thousand years, the officials in the two counties of Chang'an were about to go crazy with their work. The new director Liu Yuanshou's eyes were red, and he didn't know how long he hadn't slept.

Zhang Jia, the magistrate of the county, even sent a large amount of tax money to the money banks of Wannian and Chang'an counties.

As for the running water sign in Qujiang, countless merchants stared at the running water sign that was updated every few minutes, and roared hoarsely until the golden bell next to the running water sign rang, and everyone He would collapse on the ground, drinking water to moisten his throat frantically.

The running water brand has stopped updating, but they can't stop. They still have to study the trend of today's transactions and predict the direction of tomorrow.

Under such circumstances, Datang's calculations have long been unable to satisfy everyone's calculations. Yunchu was surprised to find something he was very familiar with - the abacus!
Yun Chu could swear to God that he never revealed the abacus to anyone, but it actually appeared before his eyes.

The abacus came out, but the corresponding formula did not appear, so Yunchu picked up the square abacus and calculated today's trading in and out instead of that person.

Speaking of planning, Yunchu really has something to say. He didn't know how to make calculations before. After graduating from university, his girlfriend joined the banking system. God knows why in that era when computers have become popular and can no longer be popularized, the bank However, bank staff are required to know how to count, not only to know, but also to hardware requirements.

Therefore, his girlfriend's calculations are like shit, but his calculation skills are solid enough to go to the bank to apply for the president.

Yunchu fumbled around, and finally came up with a series of numbers, which was calculated after a long time by more than a dozen accountants with their calculations. Finally, after summing up with Yunchu's answer, they found that they did not match.

The power of the county venerable Yunchu in Qujiang is of course nothing to say, and it can only be the group of accountants who are wrong. Therefore, after seven or eight times of accounting, the accountants finally got the answer that agrees with the answer of the county lord. up.

Therefore, Yunchu directly made the formula of the abacus public.

Yun Chu thought it was a trivial matter, but it turned out to be completely different from what he thought.

Di Renjie, who came to Qujiang to watch the excitement, knew Yunchu's behavior of wantonly distributing his own knowledge, bowed to Yunchu and saluted him, and then called him a stupid pig.

After Ruan Wen learned about Yun Chu's actions, she decided to stay away from such fools in the future. This is no longer a matter of plucking a hair to benefit the world, but a feat of plucking one's own hair to benefit the world.

After Liu Rengui learned about this, he immediately sent the book to the emperor, told the emperor the importance of the abacus formula, and emphasized that this is a milestone in the mathematics of the Tang Dynasty, and Yunchu needs to be rewarded heavily. This kind of noble character that is selfless and dedicated to benefiting others.

When he got home, Yunchu realized that Yu Xiurong had passed out from crying twice.

In the past, Yunchu was also a prodigal. He liked to use his own money to help the people of Jinchangfang get rich, and used his reputation as a guarantee to turn Chang'an's dilapidated Fangshi into a brand new Xinfangshi.

When talking about these things, Yu Xiurong was filled with nothing but pride. She would turn against anyone who said Yunchu was a prodigal.

Obviously, this time was different. Yu Xiurong's tears hadn't dried up since she heard that her husband had publicized her arithmetic knowledge to the public.

When I went home at night, I didn't have dinner. It wasn't that Yunchu didn't have dinner alone, but that no one in the whole family had dinner.

Yun Jin was gnawing on a piece of cake, and said to Yunchu while gnawing: "Grandpa, Madam said you are a prodigal."

Yun Chu picked up his son, the father and son casually messed with their stomachs with a piece of cake, and then went to see Yu Xiurong who heard that her husband had passed out again after returning home.

At this time, there were many people in Yu Xiurong's bedroom, including Di Renjie's wife, Wen Wen's wife, and even Liu Rengui's wife, plus Cui Shi and Cui Yao. When Yunchu entered, a group of women glared at him.

On the other hand, Yu Xiurong fell on the bed with a pale complexion, and twitched from time to time, as if he was dying.

Seeing Yunchu came back, the wives of the three left. Before leaving, they all gave Yunchu a deep look, as if they had never known this person before.

After everyone had left, Yu Xiurong got up suddenly, looked at Yunchu and said, "You have taught others everything you know, what will your son rely on for food in the future?"

Yun Chu picked up Yu Xiurong's head and looked at it: "What to learn? He will have something to learn in the future."

"You're best at arithmetic? You've already given it to someone else, Yunchu, I won't say a word about taking money out, I'll only be proud of having such a generous husband.

Now, you took your children's things to make a fortune, this is your fault, let me ask you, where do you put me, the children and the ancestors of the Yun family? "

Yun Chu moved Yun Jin over to have a look, he was stupid, so he threw it away, and then picked up Yun Jin to have a look, the little girl had good eyebrows, kissed her, and finally saw her youngest son Yun Luan pouted Crawling on the bed, he pounced on and took a bite on the child's pink ass.

Then he looked at Yu Xiurong and said, "What do you want to learn? Of course, you need to learn some advanced knowledge. Do you know how hard I have been holding back all these years to wait for the children to grow up?
An abacus formula is nothing more than a fart, your husband's belly is full of knowledge, and when you learn a lot, it's like having a stomachache, and the abacus formula is just a small part that slipped out by yourself. "

Yu Xiurong saw that Yun Chu was blowing fiercely, although he disagreed with her husband's comparison of learning to knowledge, but after all these years, her husband is still very reliable, that is, he couldn't die when he kissed a singer by the Baqiao Except for the account recognition, the rest of the time is very reliable.
