Travel to the early Tang Dynasty and become a salted fish

"According to your opinion, the 50% deducted was turned over to the court?"

Chu Mo looked at the other party with an unkind expression and asked.

"No, distinguished guest, you misunderstood."

The maid hurriedly waved her hand and explained:

"According to convention, when exchanging banknotes, our bank needs to pay a 20% handling fee, while the court requires you to pay a 30% loss fee, which adds up to 50%."

"However, you have documents and certificates issued by the Account Department, and you are a person with identity. Therefore, according to the regulations of our bank, we will not charge you any handling fees."

Hearing the maid's explanation, Chu Mo was secretly dumbfounded. He didn't expect Chu Xin to be so evil-hearted. She earned half of the banknote as soon as it changed hands.

He didn't believe that this bank could be opened under the eyes of the other party if it didn't have a background in the imperial court.

Thinking of this, he rolled his eyes and said:

"Then according to what you said, no matter how many banknotes I exchange, your bank will only charge 30% tax?"

The maid glanced at the banknote in her hand, and then at Chu Mo, who had a sullen look on her face. She always felt that the other party had evil intentions.

But he also bit the bullet and said:

"Yes, distinguished guest, this is a rule and cannot be changed."

"That's good, then do you also accept other banknotes besides Datang Bank?"

"For example, the No. 1 bank in the world, or the banknotes from Jiuzhou Bank."

After hearing Chu Mo's words, the maid looked at Chu Mo as if she were looking at a country person, then pointed to the signboard behind her and said:

"Sir, we are the No. 1 bank in the world. If we can't even exchange our own banknotes, wouldn't this bank have to close down a long time ago?"

Hearing the maid's words, Chu Mo was not angry at all, but looked at the other party with a smile on his face and said:

"Since this is the No. 1 bank in the world, if I exchange your banknotes, don't I have to pay handling fees and taxes?"

The maid did not hesitate and nodded directly:

“Not only do you not have to pay handling fees, we will also calculate interest for you based on the time you store it.”

After saying that, he was worried that Chu Mo might misunderstand something, so he hurriedly explained:

"Dear guest, this No. 1 bank in the world is the property of our Empress, the Empress. It is a bank designated by our Great Zhou Dynasty, so you can exchange it at will without paying handling fees and other fees."

"But the banknote of Datang Bank in your hand was issued by Datang. In order to prevent Datang from deliberately causing trouble, it is also because the exchange is difficult and the risk during the exchange is extremely high, so we charge high fees fees and taxes.”

"But guests can rest assured that as long as the banknote in your hand is confirmed to be authentic, no matter how much it is, we will exchange it for you in full."

Hearing the maid's words, Chu Mo nodded happily.

You must know that Datang Bank was originally founded by himself, and then he copied Chu Xin's old records and directly annexed Jiuzhou Bank of Wu Surname and Qi Wang.

It can be said that these three banks were all their own industries before.

With the banknotes in hand, you can have as many as you want.

Now that he was in Chu Xin's territory, Chu Mo felt a little sorry for himself if he didn't make a fortune before leaving.

Thinking of this, he once again showed an extremely lewd smile and said:

"Then I wonder what the exchange rate here is now? I'm thinking about converting all the silver notes in my hand into gold."

When the maid heard Chu Mo's words, she did not doubt that he was there and said directly:

"The current exchange rate in Dazhou is 1 tael of gold equals 10 taels of silver, which is equal to 500 copper coins."

"However, if you want to exchange for gold, you must apply in advance. I will register it for you and you can exchange it after three days."

"So troublesome? If I exchange a small amount, do I have to declare it in advance?"

After hearing the maid's words, Chu Mo asked displeasedly.

"Yes, sir, this is the rule of the imperial court and cannot be controlled by us. Please forgive me."

Seeing the professional smile on the maid's face, her attitude slowly turned cold.

Chu Mo knew that the other party regarded him as an official, a relative who had just been brought from the countryside, and treated him like a country bumpkin.

Thinking of this, he took out a large stack of banknotes from his arms, patted his hands and said:

"I have too many banknotes. Please find a steward to come over and exchange them for me."

Looking at the banknote in Chu Mo's hand, the maid's eyes widened.

Because she saw it, the first one on it clearly said ten thousand taels.

Swallowing hard, the maid didn't dare to show any slightness. After saying sorry to Chu Mo, she quickly walked towards the counter.

Watching the maid leave, Chu Ruowan looked at Chu Mo in confusion and said:

"Sir, aren't you afraid of attracting the attention of interested people like this?"

Chu Mo chuckled:

"I'm not afraid of them paying attention, I'm just afraid that they won't pay attention."

Hearing this, Chu Ruowan rolled her eyes. Knowing that the other party was planning to be mean again, she stopped talking and stood behind her to watch the performance quietly.

Not long after, a fat, middle-aged man in luxurious clothes, broad and fat, with a smile on his face was brought to Chu Mo by the maid:

"This distinguished guest is Manager Song of our bank."

"Hello, distinguished guest, my name is Song Bing. I am honored that you can cooperate with our bank."

As soon as the fat man came over, he stared at the banknote in Chu Mo's hand and couldn't move it.

"Hello, my name is Chu Mo. I would like to exchange some pocket money with you."

Hearing that Chu Mo just wanted to exchange pocket money, the smile on Song Bing's face instantly froze, and then he glared at the maid fiercely.

That seems to be saying, why did you call me here before you even understood the situation?

And the maid was also confused at this time.

Didn’t you say you have to exchange them all? Why just exchange some pocket money? Isn't this a scam?

However, before the eye contact between the two ended, Chu Mo on the side took out a stack of banknotes from his sleeve again, put them together with the banknotes in his hand, and then handed them to Song Bing:

"I just arrived in Luoyang today. I don't know if I have time to go shopping. I will exchange these for now. When I settle in tomorrow, I will come over to exchange for some household expenses."

Song Bing's eyes widened when he saw the large stack of banknotes handed over by Chu Mo.

Is this the legendary pocket money? Why is this different from what I thought?

If this is the pocket money the other party talks about, how terrible must the other party's daily expenses be?

Since when did Da Zhou come to have such a person who doesn’t take money seriously? Why haven't you heard of it?

No, no, listen to what the other party means, is this the big week that just arrived today?

Then, wouldn’t it be possible for me to dare to make good friends with others before others?

Thinking of this, Song Bing's eyes changed when he looked at Chu Mo, and the laughter at the corners of his mouth flowed down unconsciously.

Seeing the other party drooling over him, Chu Mo suddenly felt a chill, looked at the maid aside and asked:

"When can you exchange this money for me?"
