Chongzhen Chat Group

In this way, while chatting, they entered a relatively large-looking restaurant on the street.

As Cao Bianjiao, he naturally would not dine on the first floor, so he led his colleagues up to the second floor. When he saw there were seats in a corner, he sat down and asked the waiter to serve wine and food.

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

Before he finished listening, the shortest brother Sun got angry, slapped the table and said, "What, are you afraid that we won't have the money to give you?"

Cao Bianjiao's face looked a little ugly, but he held it back, casually took out a piece of broken silver from his arms and said, "Is it enough?"

An ordinary meal cannot be settled with silver. He took out the broken silver to show that he was not short of money.

When the waiter saw it, he knew there was a misunderstanding, and quickly continued with a smile: "The few guests did not hear what the villain said. The villain just wanted to remind the few guests that if you pay with Ming Dynasty banknotes in our store, it is There are discounts!”

Upon hearing this, Brother Sun blushed a little. Cao Bianjiao heard this a little strangely, and couldn't help but asked curiously: "Can I get discounts by using banknotes? Aren't you afraid?"

At first, King Qin's army accepted the banknotes as a reward for the emperor's sake. 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 enthusiastically replied: "What's there to be afraid of? The money in the Central Bank of the Ming Dynasty has been piled up to the sky, and you are still afraid that there will be no silver to exchange for it?"

"Haha, many people didn't believe it for a long time and ran to try to exchange banknotes for silver. There is no problem at all!" Another person also said.

Subtly, they all have a sense of superiority over foreign country bumpkins, and they are also happy to introduce new things in the capital, surprising these strangers, and looking at their surprised expressions puts them in a good mood.

There were more than one or two people who had this feeling of superiority. Another person who looked 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 quality, but also the average weight. Whether it's accurate or not, it's always troublesome to encounter fussy customers. With these banknotes, there aren't so many things to worry about. Which checkout method do you think the store prefers?"

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

From the look on their faces, the waiter knew that they were settling in cash rather than banknotes. Anyway, he informed him of the offer and left to place the order. A customer on the side saw them sitting down and reminded them: "When you finish eating and leave, you can go to the Central Bank of Ming Dynasty to exchange money for banknotes. I don't know about other places, but in the capital, Ming Dynasty banknotes are more popular." welcome!"

After hearing this, Cao Bianjiao was about to thank Shi Shi, or maybe his behavior and appearance seemed a bit like he was from a noble family, so someone else reminded him: "Remember, don't change too many banknotes, just enough to use in the capital."

He was stunned for a moment, and then realized that he was afraid that if the court's policy changed, would banknotes be thrown into his hands?

Thinking like this, Cao Bianjiao felt a little strange. He couldn't help but ask: "Dare I ask this brother, what about the Daming Construction Bank, um, and the Daming Royal Cement Company? Didn't there be so much silver that was exchanged for banknotes? Could it be that Aren’t they worried?”

These idle people 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 huge total, but when the shares were auctioned, there was a limit on how much one person could buy. You said, for those rich people, that little money is nothing, it is just like our pocket money. Even if there is any problem, it will not be very distressing. "

Another person took advantage of the opportunity and immediately added: "Yeah, besides, this thing just came out, it can't change immediately, right? The opportunity to make money is right in front of you. As long as you can make money in the early stage, the rest will be fine." So what if there are changes, right?”

The other three people listened in confusion and couldn't figure out what their answers meant. But Cao Bianjiao had read the book, and after they explained it, he understood it after thinking about it for a moment. He couldn't help but be a little surprised. There were many rich people in the capital. They just collected some money and the total amount turned out to be so huge!

He thanked these people, and when he sat back at the table, the waiter quickly served the wine and food. When the people at the next tables saw him, they stopped paying attention to these ignorant outsiders and started chatting among themselves again.

"There seems to be a sign posted at the Ministry of Household Affairs, saying that the Ming Dynasty Dictionary Company specializes in selling pinyin dictionaries. Have you heard about this?"

"Da Ming Dictionary Company? Haha, are you just joining in the fun?"

"Do you know what a dictionary is?"

"..."

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

"It is said that I, the Ming Dynasty, used pinyin to annotate all the Chinese characters. As long as you master the pinyin rules, you can learn all the Chinese characters by yourself. Well, that's it, these are their original words!"

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

"..."

Cao Bianjiao also shook his head slightly when he heard this, agreeing with what the man said, this is definitely impossible! To read and read, you have to have a teacher teach you step by step. How can you know all the Chinese characters after mastering the pinyin annotation?

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

"Yes, after hearing this, my neighbor's son, who was 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."

"Haha, that guy wants to be a shopkeeper, right? 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 read with a dictionary. Who believes it? Only people like my neighbor who want to be a shopkeeper would give it a try!"

"..."

Cao Bianjiao also disagreed in his heart, guessing that the guy spent money in the end, but still couldn't do anything!

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

"Actually, I just taught them how to learn Pinyin. You may not believe it when I tell you, but my neighbor's son came back and said that there were about 20 of them in total, all of whom were workers. The people in the household department were too lazy to teach them one by one. What kind of blackboard tool was used to teach directly? Haha..."

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

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