Travel to the early Tang Dynasty and become a salted fish

When he heard that he was going to find Li Chengqian, Chu Mo asked with some guilt:

"Is this reliable? Do you want to see Li Chengqian?"

"You also know that my master, the general, broke someone's leg. If he knows our identities, then you and I will not be able to escape death."

Chu Mo deliberately said the words "you and me" very strongly, thinking of warning Zhou Xiaohai.

Zhou Xiaohai has been working hard in Chang'an for so many years. How could he not understand the meaning? He said angrily:

"Of course it's reliable. That person is a popular person in front of His Highness the Crown Prince. Not to mention that he can always speak his mind in front of His Highness the Crown Prince, but he is very different. Some trivial matters are not a big deal in other people's eyes."

After saying that, Zhou Xiaohai stretched out his hand with some embarrassment, rubbed his index finger and thumb in front of Chu Mo and said:

"It's just that that adult has a big appetite. If you are short of money, then don't rush to get him."

Hearing that he had a big appetite, Chu Mo narrowed his eyes slightly. Damn it, no matter how big he is, can he be as big as himself?

"Brother Zhou, do you know what the starting price is for getting services from the other party?"

Zhou Xiaohai stretched out a finger and gestured in front of Chu Mo.

"One million taels? This is indeed a big appetite."

Phew. . .

When the barbarian in front of him asked for 100 million taels, Zhou Xiaohai was so frightened that he didn't spit out his heart.

What the hell, if you hold out a finger, it only represents 100 taels. You'd better just increase it 10000 times. This guy probably doesn't know what 100 million taels is, right?

Just as he was thinking about scolding the other party, he heard Chu Mo speak again:

"I just don't know whether that gentleman likes cash? Or prefers banknotes."

"Of course it's cash. To put it bluntly, the bank note is just a piece of paper. That gentleman didn't even look at it."

Chu Mo frowned when he heard that the other party wanted to cash in cash.

If it's a banknote, you can get as much as the other party wants. If you have cash in front of you, wouldn't you have to bleed a lot?

That doesn't work.

Thinking of this, Chu Mo touched his chin, and then said to Zhou Xiaohai:

"I don't have that much cash here, so I need to find a bank to get it. Do you know where the nearest bank is?"

Zhou Xiaohai was about to say that this is not a big deal for you, you only need to prepare 8000 taels of silver to handle it.

But when he heard that Chu Mo was really going to get the money, his eyes suddenly lit up and he swallowed back the words he was about to say.

Then he pointed to the corner in front and said:

"On the second street from here, there is a Tianxia Bank. I wonder if you can catch your eye?"

Chu Mo couldn't help but frowned when he heard about Tianxia Qianzhuang:

"I remember, wasn't Tianxia Bank closed before? Why is it reopening now?"

Zhou Xiaohai looked at Chu Mo as if he were looking at a country person, and said with a smile:

"You don't know this, right?"

"Since your master left Chang'an, the five surnames and Qiwang, headed by Cui Yingying, the head of the Boling Cui family, have jointly dominated the entire business community in Chang'an."

"Not only did they integrate all the shops and merchants on the market, but even the Datang Chamber of Commerce and the Jiuzhou Chamber of Commerce founded by Chu Mo and Chu Xin were also taken over, and they also included Datang and Jiuzhou Banks. Under his command, a brand new World Chamber of Commerce was formed."

"Today's Tianxia Chamber of Commerce is a behemoth that even the imperial court is afraid of."

"To put it bluntly, if Miss Cui gets upset one day and declares the market to be closed, then our Emperor may not even be able to get the side dishes for breakfast."

"It's so powerful?"

Hearing Zhou Xiaohai's words, Chu Mo was shocked. He didn't expect that Cui Yingying would develop to such an extent now.

"is not that right."

Zhou Xiaohai looked at Chu Mo in amazement and sighed:

"I heard that some unscrupulous guy came up with the idea of ​​having a son for Miss Cui. He said that by controlling the business of the Tang Dynasty, he controlled the lifeblood of the entire country."

"As long as she controls all the commodities and all the farmers who produce them, she will become the uncrowned king of the world."

Hearing Zhou Xiaohai's words, Chu Mo blinked his eyes unconsciously.

These words seemed to have been made by him to deceive each other and talk nonsense when he was with Cui Yingying, right?

Blinking his eyes, Chu Mo asked suspiciously:

"So she did it?"

Zhou Xiaohai looked at Chu Mo with disdain, then pointed at the shops on both sides of the street and said:

"Look at the plaques of the shops on the street. Which one doesn't have the words Tianxia Chamber of Commerce?"

After hearing what the other party said, Chu Mo quickly raised his head and observed. It was a good thing not to look at it. At first glance, it was indeed what the other party said.

After swallowing his saliva, Chu Mo asked suspiciously:

"Then Li Shimin just watched such an uncrowned king appear under his nose?"

"Then what else can we do? Back then, Qi Wang, the Five Surnames, took advantage of the chaos in the world and took control of the entire Chang'an shop overnight. By the time His Majesty the Emperor came to his senses, the other party had already grasped the overall situation and wanted to make a comeback. You have to ask others if they agree."

"And I heard that the Cui family has a good relationship with Chu Xin, the leader of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Yang Hongyu from Lingnan Road, and even the pirates appearing along the coast. Miss Cui has signed a supply and sale agreement with all three of them."

"If His Majesty the Emperor wants to influence the Tianxia Chamber of Commerce, then he must ask these three companies if they agree."

Hearing Zhou Xiaohai mention that Cui Yingying had reached an agreement with the pirates, Chu Mo blinked his eyes again. Why didn't he know about this?

Could it be that after he came to Chang'an, his father-in-law Li Jing did it?

But that's not right. Even if it was Li Jing who did it, the news couldn't have spread so quickly. Even a small patrolling Wuhou knew about it.

Thinking of this, the corner of Chu Mo's mouth curled up slightly. It seemed that Cui Yingying must be that stinky bitch who wanted to use the tiger skin as a banner.

Seeing the smile on Chu Mo's lips, Zhou Xiaohai thought it was his words that gave this barbarian who didn't know which corner the barbarian emerged from some knowledge, and he was very happy.

So he patted Chu Mo on the shoulder and said sincerely:

"Brother, the water in Chang'an is very deep. If you weren't pressed for time now, maybe I would take you to see the world."

Chu Mo curled his lips, cupped his fists and saluted Zhou Xiaohai:

"Brother Zhou, please help me keep an eye on my staff first. I'll go over there and exchange the money. I'll be back soon."

When Zhou Xiaohai heard that he was going to redeem the money, his face twitched, and then he grabbed Chu Mo who was about to turn around and said:

"Brother, exchanging silver is a lot of trouble. Why don't you get some gold? Not only is it lighter, but it also looks good on the eyes."
