The steward Fu Qiang was in front of Gao Zhang, holding a thick account book in his lap.
Everything inside is densely packed with Arabic numerals. Ever since the Kaifeng Metal Workshop was established, all accounting has been done according to Gao Zhang's requirements.
Although the most basic debit and credit accounting method was used, Gao Zhang didn't know how complicated it was, but at least the debit and credit accounting method was enough.
On the side, Duan Erlang, whose face was red and glowing, was trembling a little as he walked, bending down carefully for fear that he would not be able to hear the instructions of Gao Zhang, the No. 1 scholar who was a head shorter than him.
They are now in the courtyard behind the Suzhou Chengzhou Government Office, where the Kaifeng Metal Workshop, the Suzhou Weaving Factory, and the treasury of the Duan Trading Company are already located.
After all, it can be regarded as a safe place outside Suzhou City, second only to the state government office.
"...Wrong. In another three months, when all the accounts have been verified, I will personally escort the property back.
Also, remember to give that letter to my father, he will know what to do after reading it."
"Okay, Mr. Zhuangyuan, I will definitely do what you tell me."
Gao Zhang nodded and looked at the locked warehouses.
We need to change things later. Instead of wooden buildings, we should change them all to masonry structures.
Otherwise, you will always worry that your money will grow wings and fly away.
Gao Zhang did not expect that the revenue from just one Hangzhou International Commodity Expo would reach an extremely exaggerated and terrifying figure.
The point is, those barbarian merchants from foreign countries mostly used barter to trade.
But there are also many wealthy Tibetan merchants who directly use gold and red silver as trading goods.
Although some use gold and silver coins, and some use gold nuggets and silver ingots, none of them are hard currencies like real gold or red silver.
This made Gao Zhang feel more and more that international trade must be carried out and must continue to be carried out.
Not only do you want to get money quickly, but also if you have money, you can do whatever you want with confidence and boldness.
Even if you flatter Master, you can't just rely on your words, without even having some real things and practical information, right?
Having said that, Gao Zhang was already thinking about an issue, whether it was a bank thing or not. He should also mention it on the monthly agenda.
Large-scale trade, without corresponding large-scale currency, relies on the money and silk that everyone works hard to carry out.
The first one wastes too much labor cost and time cost. The second one is no, it will easily cause more crime problems.
Just when Gao Zhang was walking back and thinking deeply, he saw a long follower walking quickly towards him.
"Sir, the Japanese sea merchant Fujiwara Tadayi is here again, and a Japanese monk is accompanying him."
"Fujiwara Tadai, didn't he just leave not long ago?"
Fu'an beside him couldn't help but murmured curiously.
"Think about it, maybe Fujiwara Tadai finally became enlightened and figured out his future path?"
Gao Zhang laughed and laughed, but his heart was already excited.
Okay, okay, I'm afraid I won't come. Now that I'm here, please don't you shake me a little bit, ah...please don't let my soul sublimate, let me change from a ghost to a human, then he can't be called Gao Zhang.
Turn it upside down and write.
#####
When Gao Zhang returned to the government office, he saw Fujiwara Tadayi and a monk named Yi Wei Maotou walking there whispering. After hearing the footsteps, the two of them turned their heads in unison.
Gao Taoran also saw that the middle-aged monk had a hideous scar on his face.
The two of them saluted Gao Zhang in unison.
"You two, please get up quickly. Is Mr. Fujiwara, the master..."
"Gao Xuanfu, my uncle who lives in the east, was forced to become a monk and became a Buddhist monk named Jingjue."
Jingjue saluted Gao Zhang respectfully again.
"If a poor monk meets Gao Xuanfu, my lord can be favored by Gao Xuanfu. This is really the great luck of the Fujiwara clan."
The title lord made Gao Zhang couldn't help but look at Fujiwara Tadayi. My uncle called me lord?
"Gao Xuanfu, on his way back to his country, read through the books you gave him, but he didn't understand your feelings at that time.
And when you return home from the East, you will be enlightened, and your misplaced expectations in the East will be dispelled."
Looking at the extremely excited Fujiwara Tadayi, Gao Zhang couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat. After signaling the two of them to go east, he asked with concern.
"Could it be that something wrong happened after returning to Japan?"
"My fifth uncle, Master Jingyuan, and my fourth uncle, Master Jingjue, who live in the east, were both forced to ordain and become monks after their grandfather passed away."
"Could it be that Zaidong never thought that those people who have already reached that point would really like to be exterminated..."
Gao Zhang listened to Fujiwara Tadayi's tearful account of the tragic fate of Fujiwara Gyōdō's family.
Now Ruming, who is very alive in the world, includes him and his fourth uncle, Master Jingjue.
#####
And he was very worried that the wrong side would not be willing to give up unless they were all put to death.
So he saw the three tips Gao Zhang gave him, and decided to cross the ocean as soon as possible and come to the Song Dynasty, asking Gao Xuan to help him with his legs.
After listening to Fujiwara Tadayi's statement, Gao Zhang looked at his uncle and nephew who had gradually calmed down from the wrong mood, and then asked.
"I admire Mr. Fujiwara's character very much, and I sympathize very much with the fate of our family.
Since Mr. Fujiwara has come to find me, I naturally cannot sit back and watch."
"I have a question, Mr. Fujiwara, what is my purpose in taking Dong Lai?"
Fujiwara Tadai was a little confused and didn't know how to answer for a moment. He pondered for a few breaths and glanced at his uncle Jingjue beside him.
Then he gritted his teeth and lowered his head towards Gao Zhang.
"In the east, Ru Ming is like a duckweed without roots. If you look for Gao Xuanfu in fear outside, do you hope that Gao Xuanfu can point out a clear path for you in the east?"
"I'm just afraid that he will show me a dead end?"
Gao Zhang rolled his eyelids, tapped the table with his legs and fingers, and asked meaningfully.
"I know in the east that Gao Xuanfu is a man and the road he points out, no matter how many thorns there are, no matter how difficult the road is, I will go east even if I risk my life."
To show his sincerity, Fujiwara Tadai even raised his leg and swore a poisonous oath on the wrong day.
Looking at Fujiwara Tadayi's appearance, Gao Zhang's eyes moved and landed on the two wooden boxes in the hall.
"Gao Xuanfu, I beg Gao Xuanfu to accept his lord's wishes..."
Master Jingjue on the side moved his knees, came to the two boxes, and opened the two large boxes.
The brilliant golden light made Gao Zhang, who had seen too many yellow and red things, couldn't help but squint his eyes.
