Daming: I became Zhu Yuanzhang's eldest son

This matter directly depressed Lu Guan Tiemuer, you know, it seemed that this was the first time he had been ridiculed like this.

To use an analogy, I said it out of mouth, I saved half my life, and wanted to give a big surprise to the person I like, but the person replied directly that even a snack would cost more than this amount.

Hurt his self-esteem, this time Lu Guan Timur completely hurt his self-esteem, he was angry and anxious, but he didn't know what to say.

Perhaps, the opposite King Dingyuan wasn't making fun of him at all, it was just because he had too much goods and his own reserves were too little.

At this time, Lu Guan Tie Mu'er was really shameless. Instead, he had a decisive decision to ask Zhu Tao directly.

"Your Highness, as we said, we will buy five thousand catties, will you sell it or not? If you don't sell it, then forget it."

Zhu Tao looked at Lu Guan Tie Mu'er in some embarrassment, and said in the most helpless tone.

"Actually, it's not that I don't want to sell it to you, but it's not worth the trouble for me to order such a small quantity. As for our Daming's iron production, there is no more than [-] catties leaking through our fingers."

Old Tang next to him was a little anxious for Zhu Tao. This matter was already a national policy, so how could he run away the client?

In fact, what he was worried about was that Zhu Yuanzhang would be angry if the things that had already been decided could not be done, but Zhu Tao remained calm.

Because at this time, Old Tang was not the only one who got angry, the Taiwei of the Great Yuan Dynasty opposite was also very anxious.

Although the words are tough, but the strength is really not allowed.

This matter was also a matter of great concern to the emperor at the end of the Yuan Dynasty. If it really went wrong, it would be difficult for the Taiwei or the officials who followed him to go back when the time came.

So these guys all blushed, and really didn't know what to do.

After a while, an accompanying official said.

"His Royal Highness Dingyuan, it's not that we can't afford these, and it's not that we think that the quality of Daming's ironware is not good, but Emperor Dayuan asked us to buy so much in the first batch. After all, there is a beginning before there is a follow-up. Business needs to be smooth and long-term. , don’t you think so?”

This guy is quite good at talking, so Zhu Tao went down the donkey to give him this face and replied.

"Since this is the case, then I, Daming, actually sell at least [-] catties every time. If you have no money or affluence now, we can lend you money."

Old Tang next to him was dumbfounded, thinking that the young master has always been a shrewd person, why did he come up with such an idea this time.

Now Da Ming and Bei Yuan are still in a confrontation. What if someone borrows our money and takes our things, and then refuses to pay back the money? Wouldn’t it be a dumb loss?

Lu Guan Tie Mu'er was also thinking about this question, could it be that Zhu Tao wanted to lend usury to himself, but is this His Royal Highness a bit whimsical, after all, Da Yuan is not a person, but a country.

If it is really necessary to return the money to Daming, it is a big deal to fight another war. Anyway, we have iron weapons, so we can forge weapons.

When everyone was thinking wildly, Zhu Tao suddenly laughed and said.

"Actually, this matter is also very simple. I want to lend you money, but we don't have that much silver, so we can only lend you Daming Banknotes. This thing is banknotes, similar to that of Jiaozi in the Song Dynasty at that time."

Before Lu Guan Timur understood, Zhu Tao continued to explain to him.

"In our Daming territory, the purchasing power of treasure notes is actually the same as that of silver, so you can buy anything in Daming with the treasure notes, and even the salaries of our Daming officials are distributed according to the treasure notes."

However, Zhu Tao would definitely not lend him money for nothing, so Lu Guan Tie Muer still wanted to ask.

At least you have to figure out how much the interest is, otherwise you will become the stupid son of the landlord's family and let them ask for the price at will.

"Your Highness, you Ming people really know how to do business, but since it's a business, it's not a business if you come and go. You must charge interest for the money you lend me. How much is the interest?"

Zhu Tao smiled and stretched out five fingers.

At this time, Lu Guan Tiemuer still thought that Zhu Tao was quite polite. Could it be that he only charged [-]%?
Unexpectedly, Zhu Tao's next interpretation directly slapped him in the face.

"Actually, it's not too much, just 1%. In other words, if you want to borrow 5000 taels of silver, you only need to return us [-] taels with interest."

After Lu Guan Tiemuer heard this, the veins on his head almost popped out. This guy is simply stealing money.

"Da Ming stipulates that no matter how high the interest rate is for a bank, it should not be higher than [-]%. Here, it is [-]%. Doesn't it seem to be in compliance with the relevant laws?"

Lu Guan Tiemu'er has a deep understanding of Han culture, and he is also open to the law of the Ming Dynasty, so he wants to use this word to block Zhu Tao's mouth.

Usury is too immoral, but it is indispensable. When people are desperate, they will basically choose to drink poison to quench their thirst.

Zhu Tao didn't give any explanation to Lu Guan Tiemu'er's question, but just responded lightly.

"I didn't force you to borrow money, so you don't have to."

Ten thousand alpacas flew by in Lu Guan Timur's heart. He has completely lost his temper now, but it seems that Zhu Tao is still very wronged.

But it seemed that he was begging others, rather than others rushing to let him borrow, so he could only grit his teeth and say.

"[-] percent, [-] percent, let's get this done quickly, so we can go back and do business."

Zhu Tao immediately changed his smiling face, and said something very casually.

"The next time you come, just exchange the cattle, horses, gold and silver for Daming treasure banknotes. We don't have time to check the fineness of those gold and silver. It will be much more convenient to exchange them for treasure banknotes."

For Lu Guan Tiemuer, this is not a big deal. After all, whether it is gold, silver or precious banknotes, as long as they can be circulated normally within the territory of Ming Dynasty, wouldn't it be enough?

Besides, gold and silver are inconvenient to carry, but treasure banknotes are just banknotes, which are very light and practical for themselves.

At this time, since the business has been negotiated, Zhu Tao will of course be polite to them, and he directly told Old Tang.

"Old Tang, our Ming Dynasty is a country of etiquette. Now that the business is completed, it is unreasonable not to prepare some gifts for others. Let's bring all those things up and share them with the envoys."

These things were still given to Lu Guan Timur and the others, which made them extremely grateful in the mood of regaining what they lost, and they were all very grateful.

After they went down, Old Tang still couldn't help asking Zhu Tao.

"Young master, you lend them precious banknotes. Although the interest is quite high, Beiyuan and us are enemies after all. What if they don't pay back the money?"
