Chapter 314 A Sense of Superiority (Part Three)
In this way, while chatting, they entered a restaurant on the street that looked relatively large.

As Cao Bianjiao, he naturally wouldn't dine on the first floor, so he led his comrades up to the second floor, saw that there was a seat in a corner, so he went to sit, and greeted Xiaoer to serve wine and food.

When Xiaoer heard the greeting, he immediately greeted him with a smile, and after Cao Bianjiao and the others finished ordering, he asked with a smile on his face: "Guest officers, I wonder if you are paying..."

Before he finished listening, the shortest grandson got angry, slapped the table and said, "Why, are you afraid we don't have money to pay?"

Cao Bianjiao's face was also a bit ugly, but he held back, took out a piece of broken silver from his bosom and said, "Is it enough?"

An ordinary meal is settled with less than silver.He took out the broken silver, which meant that he was not short of money.

When the waiter saw it, he knew that he had misunderstood, and quickly continued with a smile on his face: "The guest officials didn't listen to the villain. The villain just wanted to remind the guest officials that it is okay to use Daming banknotes to pay at the store. There are discounts!"

Upon hearing this, Brother Sun blushed a little.Cao Bianjiao sounded a little strange, so he couldn't help but asked curiously: "Can you get a discount with banknotes? Are you not afraid?"

Back then, Qin Wangjun recognized the paper money as a reward for the sake of the emperor.But in their hearts, they always feel that the money is still heavy in their hands.

Hearing his words, a person sitting at the next table eagerly replied: "What's there to be afraid of? The silver in the Central Bank of Ming Dynasty has been piled up to the sky, so are you afraid that there will be no money to exchange?"

"Hehe, many people didn't believe it a long time ago, and ran to try to exchange banknotes for silver taels, and there was no problem at all!" Another person also said.

Indistinctly, they all have a sense of superiority in the face of the outsiders, and they are also happy to introduce new things in the capital city, which makes these strangers startled, and looking at their surprised expressions puts them in a good mood.

There are more than one or two people who feel this kind of superiority, and another person who looks like a businessman even said loudly: "You think the store is stupid for offering this discount! If you accept copper coins and silver taels, you not only have to worry about the fineness, but also the average weight." Accurate or not, it is troublesome to meet customers who care about every detail. If you use this banknote, there are not so many things. Which checkout method do you think the store likes?"

Hearing their explanation, Cao Bianjiao and others couldn't help but suddenly realized.Looking at the piece of broken silver on the table, they felt for the first time, why this thing is not so popular!

Seeing their appearance, Xiao Er already knew that they were paying in silver rather than banknotes. Anyway, he also informed of the discount, so he left to place an order.A customer next to them saw them sitting down, and reminded them: "When you leave after eating, you can go to the Central Bank of Daming to exchange silver money for banknotes. I don't know about other places. Anyway, in the capital, it is Daming banknotes that are more popular. welcome!"

After Cao Bianjiao heard this, he was about to thank Shi Shi, or his demeanor was a bit like he was from a noble family, so someone reminded him: "Remember, don't change too many banknotes, as long as you have enough in the capital."

He was taken aback for a while, and then realized that he was afraid that the imperial court's policy would change, and would the banknotes be thrown into his hands by then?
Thinking of this, Cao Bianjiao was a little strange, and he couldn't help asking: "Dare to ask this brother, what about the Daming Construction Bank, um, and the Daming Royal Cement Company, didn't so much silver be exchanged for banknotes? Don't they worry?"

These idlers in the capital have already discussed these matters.Hearing his question, several people opened their mouths to speak, but the person at the beginning answered first: "Don't look at the total amount, but when the shares were auctioned back then, there was a limit on how much one person could buy. You said, to those rich people, that little money is nothing, it is not just like our pocket money. Even if there is any problem, it will not be very distressed. "

Another person saw the needle and immediately added: "Yeah, besides, it's impossible to change immediately after this incident, right? Then the opportunity to make money is right in front of you. As long as you can earn it in the early stage, the rest will be counted." So what if there is a change, right?"

The other three were confused and couldn't figure out what their answer meant.On the contrary, Cao Bianjiao had read the book, and after they explained it in this way, after thinking about it for a while, he understood it.He couldn't help but be a little surprised, there are a lot of rich people in the capital, so they just scraped together some money, and the total amount is so big!
He thanked these few people, and when he sat back at the table, Xiao Er happened to serve wine and food quickly.After seeing the people at the next table, they ignored these ignorant outsiders and started chatting on their own.

"There seems to be a sign on the household department, saying that Daming Dictionary Company sells pinyin dictionaries. Have you heard about it?"

"Daming Dictionary Company? Hehe, is this just for fun?"

"What is that dictionary, do you know?"

"..."

As Cao Huachun ate, his ears involuntarily pricked up.In fact, the new facts here in the capital are really new, and everyone is curious, and he is no exception.

"It is said that all Chinese characters in my Ming Dynasty are annotated with pinyin. As long as you master the rules of pinyin, you can learn all Chinese characters by yourself. Well, that's it, this is their original words!"

"This is impossible. If this is the case, why do you still need to teach the teacher? This is impossible!"

"..."

Cao Bianjiao also shook his head slightly when he heard that, agreeing with that person's statement in his heart, this is definitely impossible!Reading and literacy, you must be taught by your teacher. How can you know all Chinese characters after mastering the pinyin annotations?

"Let me tell you, this method of pinyin is said to have been taught by the emperor himself."

"That's right, just hearing this, my neighbor's son who is a clerk begged his father to come to my house to borrow money and buy a copy. And now he has to go to some training for an hour every day or something."

"Hehe, does that guy want to be a shopkeeper? If he really learns to read, he might be able to work as a shopkeeper now that there is a shortage of shopkeepers!"

"You're right, you can learn to read with just a dictionary, who would believe it? Only people like my neighbor who want to be a shopkeeper are crazy enough to try!"

"..."

Cao Bianjiao also disagreed in his heart, guessing that the guy ended up spending money, but he still didn't know anything!

"By the way, what do you mean by training?"

"Actually, it is to teach them how to learn the pinyin. You may not believe me when I tell you. My neighbor's son came back and said that there are a total of twenty of them, and they are all from the staff. The people from the household department are too lazy to teach them one by one. What kind of blackboard tool was used to teach it directly! Hehe..."

After hearing this, Cao Bianjiao couldn't help but think to himself, is this okay?If you encounter such a deceptive thing, you must expose it!

But I guess I don't have this chance. After all, I can read and write, and I will be in the new army in the future, so it is impossible to meet him.
