Tea Merchants of the Song Dynasty

Jiang Yin really didn't expect that Li Ji would be willing to help so much, but since he offered it, she would not refuse.

She quickly stood up, thanked him, and said that she would definitely think of a reasonable solution.

In order to find an excuse, Li Ji came over every day and directly expressed his willingness to help think about it.

Jiang Yin was helpless, but he didn't refuse. It would be nice if Li Ji could give some useful advice on this matter.

After that, Boss Wu was included and the few people discussed for a week before finalizing the plan.

The basic approach is actually very similar to what I thought before.

The Chamber of Commerce set up a shop specifically for issuing certificates, and those who needed certificates could go to the shop with silver to get them.

Merchants in the Chamber of Commerce recognize vouchers and can use them to do business.

Similarly, those who hold certificates can come to the Chamber of Commerce to exchange them for corresponding silver and money.

Of course, if you are out of town, you can also use the vouchers to exchange silver and money with merchants in the Chamber of Commerce, without having to travel thousands of miles back to get the money.

"The rules are set. I'll write to my old friends when I get back." Boss Wu said with a smile, "But, calling it a voucher is not a good idea. How about giving it a special name?"

At least you have to give it a decent name, so that if you really become famous in the future, you won't become a laughing stock.

"It needs a name." Jiang Yin pondered for a moment and said, "It is convenient to trade by combining coupons and taking money. How about calling it 'Jiaozi'?"

Easy to understand and remember.

She felt that the name "Jiaozi" was also very descriptive.

Of course, if there are other better ones, you can choose from them.

"What a good name." Boss Wu praised, "Jiaozi, I think it's okay."

Jiang Yin smiled at him, then turned his head to look at Li Ji: "What do you think, Mr. Li? Do you have any other ideas?"

"Combining coupons to get money makes transactions easier." Li Ji read it out and said with a smirk, "'Jiaozi'. Very good."

Jiang Yin raised his eyebrows and said, "Okay, that's it, let's call it 'Jiaozi'. As for the shop, let's call it Jiaozi Shop. As for the printing of Jiaozi, I can find someone to do it.

I happen to know someone who makes rice paper, and I will go and talk to him in person in a few days."

She had visited both Xuan paper shops and Xuan paper workshops, and she had confidence in making high-quality Xuan paper, not to mention her collaboration with Li Qing.

Maybe she could even shamelessly ask Li Qing for help in custom-making rice paper specifically for making Jiaozi.

Because there was a special type of Xuan paper that was not circulated, others could not forge Jiaozi.

"Okay, then I'll trouble Miss Jiang with this matter." Boss Wu bowed to her and Li Ji, then said goodbye and left in a hurry.

He was going to contact his friends who often went to Chengdu Prefecture and ask them to join him.

After Boss Wu left, Li Ji couldn't help but ask, "Are you going to Huizhou in a few days?"

He pursed his lips, feeling a little unhappy. After going to Huizhou, he might never come to Tokyo again.

In this case, he was afraid that it would be difficult for him to see Jiang Yin again.

Jiang Yin nodded and said, "Yes, I'll go in a few days."

She went to the shop and saw that it was doing well, with Hui ink, Xuan paper and She inkstones for sale. In addition, there were storytellers who came to tell stories every day.

Although it is not as good as other old teahouses in Beijing, the business is still good. I believe that it will catch up with the teahouses in Chengdu in a short time.

There is no problem with the teahouse, but the matter with Er Niang has not yet been resolved.

After they got the result and Fourth Uncle finished the exam, she could set off for Huizhou and then return to Chengdu from Huizhou.

After that, he waited patiently in Chengdu to see how the government would sentence those people after the New Year.

Li Ji felt helpless and sad, and could only say: "There are only seven days left until the Autumn Examination. Miss Jiang, do you have anywhere to go? I can take you there."

However, Jiang Yin shook his head and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Li, but I don't want to go out recently."

There are many people in Tokyo and Li Ji goes to the mansion every day. She is afraid that he has attracted the attention of someone with ulterior motives. She can never travel with Li Ji again.

Li Ji felt very regretful, but he had to give up.

However, in the days that followed, he still shamelessly came to my house every day.

Although it was a bit against the rules, Jiang Yin didn't mind it. After all, Fang Wenyuan was still at home.

Finally, the time for the Autumn Examination arrived. Jiang Yin and Er Niang's family, who had hurried back, sent Fang Wenyuan to the examination room and then returned home together.

Jiang Yin asked them if they were going to move back, and Jiang Erniang said that they would not come back for the time being and they would have to live in Xie Mansion for a while.

It turned out that Jijiu was indeed pretending to be sick. After Erniang and her family returned, Jijiu threw a tantrum every day, but at least he managed to keep the people for a while.

Xie Daoyun had only one older sister who was married, and his father, Xie Jijiu, never remarried after his wife died.

Therefore, before Er Niang and her family went back, there was no one else in the Xie Mansion except the master, Jijiu.

As for the conflicts between Xie Daoyun and his son, they did not elaborate, so Jiang Yin tactfully did not ask any more questions.

All I know is that although the relationship between Xie Daoyun and his son has not been restored, it has at least eased a little.

These days, Jijiu has been personally enlightening Jiang Xiaoya, hoping that Jiang Xiaoya can inherit his mantle and occupy a place in the literary world.

It seems that he wants Jiang Xiaoya to study in the Imperial College.

If Xiaoya really went to the Imperial College, Erniang and her family would probably have to stay in Tokyo.

Jiang Yin pondered for a moment and said, "It is great that the chief priest teaches Xiaoya personally. Being able to enter the Imperial College is also the best choice for Xiaoya. It is right for her to stay in the Xie Mansion. Second Lady, I support you."

It is relatively late for Xiaoya to start her education at this age, but fortunately, the chief priest also taught Xiaoya when he went to Mengshan in the past.

Moreover, when in Mengshan, Xiaoya also went to school. With Xie Daoyun, her father, teaching her personally, Xiaoya was actually no worse than others, but after all, she was not as good as the Imperial Academy.

If Xiaoya wants to pursue a career in politics, it would be best for her to stay in Beijing.

But I didn't expect that the chief priest would be so tolerant that he didn't even care that Xiaoya didn't have the surname Xie.

Jiang Erniang sighed and said, "It's not that we don't care, but we didn't agree when she suggested changing the surname. However, Xiaoya herself agreed to have a child with the surname Xie in the future."

"That's fine." Jiang Yin said with a smile, "Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. Let Xiaoya worry about the future."

"What do you mean by children and grandchildren?" Jiang Erniang said unhappily, "You are so young, why are you so sentimental?"

"Yes, yes, what Second Mother said is right." Jiang Yin did not argue too much with Second Mother.

Er Niang and her family did not stay in the mansion for long. After dinner, they returned to Xie's mansion.

In the next few days, Jiang Yin still did not go out.

After picking up Fang Wenyuan who had just finished the exam, Jiang Yin busied himself with having someone serve Fang Wenyuan food and drinks while he went to rest.

Scientific examinations are very tiring and some people even fainted in the examination room.

After that, he would wait for the results to come out before taking the palace examination, and after the examination he would wait to be assigned an official position.

Li Ji, who went to the government office every day, knew that Fang Wenyuan wanted to be an official in Huangshan, so he kept it in mind.

Once the results come out, he can find an opportunity to make some plans for him.
