Chapter 166 The Idea of ​​a Money Exchange!

Li Shimin understood this point as well; these things from later generations were certainly beneficial and convenient.

However, times have their limitations, and it's normal not to accept it.

These deeply ingrained ideas need to be changed gradually; they cannot be rushed.

"Nephew, you and Lizhi can do as you wish. If there's anything I need you to do, just let me know," Li Shimin said, expressing his support.

The specific details will have to be handled by Xiao Ran and Li Lizhi.

Xiao Ran was well aware of the potential influence that would arise if he took control of the money exchange.

“Okay, no problem, let’s go back. I need to restock my supplies later,” Xiao Ran said.

The palace maids were left to clean up the supermarket; to be precise, they were now supermarket employees.

Li Shimin and his companions returned to the palace.

Cheng Yaojin, Qin Qiong, and the others also saw Xiao Ran and wanted to get to know him.

Seeing that he was quite busy, I didn't bother him. It was obvious that Xiao Ran had a special relationship with Li Shimin's family.

Amidst the crowd on Zhuque Street, Cheng Yaojin watched as Li Shimin and his entourage's carriage entered the palace.

"When the young master gave you something before, didn't you give it back to him?" Cheng Yaojin suddenly asked.

"Grandpa, what do you mean by this?" Cheng Chumo pretended to be confused.

Cheng Yaojin raised his hand to strike, but Cheng Chumo quickly said, "Grandpa, I remember now, is this it?"

Cheng Yaojin took the lighter. "This is a rare item too. How do you use it?"

While they were talking, the father and son got into the carriage.

"Young master said this is a lighter, like this." Cheng Chumo took it and demonstrated it.

Upon seeing the flames, Cheng Yaojin's face lit up with delight. "Interesting, this is interesting."

"Grandpa, the young master didn't say he wanted it for me, but he might still want it," Cheng Chumo muttered to himself.

“It’s alright, if the young master wants it, Grandpa will give it to him later.” Cheng Yaojin felt that Xiao Ran shouldn’t ask for it anymore.

This kind of thing had never been seen in the Tang Dynasty, but Cheng Yaojin had a feeling that it shouldn't be anything rare in Xiao Ran's eyes.

After lunch, the two little princesses and Li Lizhi stopped sleeping and followed Xiao Ran to the warehouse.

Goods need to be moved from the warehouse.

Empress Zhangsun had already arranged for palace maids and eunuchs. Xiao Ran and the little princess led the people into the warehouse, and the others could carry them.

The workshop was locked up, and we had no idea what was happening outside.

These things in the supermarket aren't heavy, so it wasn't difficult for the palace maids and eunuchs to carry them.

The two little princesses were initially very excited and helped carry some of the lighter items, but later they started to doze off and had to take a nap at the Lizheng Hall.

Considering that the goods prepared in advance were insufficient, this time the move took a long time, until evening.

From the warehouse to the side hall of Lizheng Hall, Empress Zhangsun arranged for palace maids to deliver the goods to the supermarket by carriage.

The shelves are all empty; we'll definitely have to wait for them to be replenished.

We're opening tomorrow morning, there's no time.

"Young master, take a look, this is today's account." Li Lizhi handed the account book to Xiao Ran.

Xiao Ran curiously took it, and was also shocked when he saw the number.

"Wow! So much!" Xiao Ran knew it was profitable, but he didn't expect it to be this profitable.

"It's really good. It brings in a considerable amount of money every day." Li Shimin was very satisfied with this.

Unfortunately, sourcing the goods is a bit of a problem. If the supply were plentiful, we could open a few more supermarkets; that would be a money tree.

They're still reaping the money from wealthy and powerful families, so they have no qualms about it.

"Find a money exchange next to the supermarket. That way, other people can go to the supermarket to buy things after exchanging their silver notes. If they feel uneasy about holding the silver notes, they can exchange them back for Kaiyuan Tongbao coins or gold and silver at any time."

Xiao Ran then explained the matter of the money exchange.

Xiao Ran hadn't planned to start a money exchange so soon, but seeing the workload of the supermarket cashiers, he felt it was better to get it started sooner rather than later.

Supermarket items are inherently expensive, and the transaction volume is also large.

We simply can't keep up.

Counting money is too much work. Xiao Ran should discuss the layout of the money exchange with Li Lizhi, and Li Lizhi will find someone to do it.

Xiao Ran had to prepare many things, such as finding someone to design silver notes suitable for the Tang Dynasty.

Although they were silver notes, Xiao Ran wanted to convert them into paper money.

They put portraits of Li Shimin and several princesses on the banknotes, smuggling in their own agenda.

In particular, the two little princess portraits are a must.

Xiao Ran printed it out; it was very difficult to forge in the Tang Dynasty.

The paper material and pigments are from a different era, so anti-counterfeiting measures are not difficult.

Xiao Ran also took out the other banknotes and showed them to Li Shimin and Empress Zhangsun.

"Nephew, is the largest denomination also one hundred?" Li Shimin asked, holding up the red banknote.

"I want to get a 10,000 yuan limit, a super large one," Xiao Ran said.

Li Shimin looked at the portrait on the banknote and said, "For the 10,000-string note, shouldn't it have my image on it?"

"That's natural, and there's Her Majesty the Queen. The other smaller denominations are for other people."

Li Shimin smiled and said, "That's a good idea, brilliant!"

Li Shimin examined the banknotes repeatedly.

The matter of the banknotes was mostly settled, and the moving of goods didn't end until evening.

The supermarket's warehouse is full, and Rissei-den has also stored quite a lot.

They won't be sold out before noon tomorrow.

Xiao Ran checked the time. "Sixth Sister should be back soon. I have to go back."

"Little Nangjun, let's go home!" The little princess was even more enthusiastic than Xiao Ran.

Princess Yuzhang was over there, and Li Lizhi followed her there.

The two little princesses and Li Lizhi did not wait for Xiao Ran to drive back to the supermarket, but went to the warehouse with Xiao Ran instead.

The group drove home from the warehouse.

I just stopped in front of the supermarket and saw that Princess Yuzhang and Xiao Ruoying had also returned.

Xiao Ruoying seemed a little worried and even went to the hospital to visit Princess Yuzhang.

The two people were eating, each carrying a bag and holding a box in their hands.

"Seven what duck~" The little princess saw it from a long distance.

As a little foodie, the little princess definitely had to ask.

The two little princesses ran excitedly to Princess Yuzhang and Xiao Ruoying.

"Sister Niu~ Niqi what duck~"

Princess Yuzhang squatted down. "This is grilled cold noodles. Would you like some, Sizi?"

"I want duck~" the little princess said quickly.

"Wow~ I'm so curious~" The little princess discovered that this was a delicious treat she had never tasted before.

"Grilled cold noodles, looks good." Li Lizhi also came over.

Xiao Ruoying picked up some food for Li Lizhi and fed it to her.

Li Lizhi didn't mind at all, "Oh, it really is quite delicious."

Seeing that the two little princesses liked it, Xiao Ruoying and Princess Yuzhang gave the small bowls to the two little princesses.

"Sixth Sister, are you getting used to it? Is there any problem?" Xiao Ran asked.

"It's great, no problem." Princess Yuzhang said excitedly, "I think it's good."

It's clear that Princess Yuzhang's visit to the hospital went very smoothly.

After escorting Princess Yuzhang back, Xiao Ruoying quickly left.

"Brother, we were talking about getting vaccinated before, do we have to get vaccinated too?"

If Princess Yuzhang hadn't mentioned it, Xiao Ran would have forgotten about it. "We definitely need to fight; it's safer that way,"
