Father can be an enemy to the country

In this way, as Suzhou heard the sound of machine-hunting all over the city again, countless families like Erdan survived the famine without any danger, and even lived a good life that they had never dared to hope for before.

Once the leader of the silk weaving industry came back to life, the city of Suzhou also regained its vitality. Amidst the continuous sound of the machines that day and night, the smooth and smooth damask, brocade, silk and gauze, like the endless water of the mountain pond, continuously flowed into the warehouse of the Weaving and Dyeing Bureau.

This scene made the third brother, who suddenly realized his conscience and took some time out of his busy schedule to see his younger brother, couldn't help but be stunned.

He pointed at the mountains of silk piled up in the warehouse and asked, "Are these really exchanged for scraps of paper?"

"Then there's still a lie?" Lao Liu said with a proud smile.

"It's amazing, Lao Liu!" Lao San said with admiration: "It's just like turning rocks into gold!"

"Everywhere, the third brother has laid a good foundation." Lao Liu said sincerely.

This is true. The reason why food stamps can be promoted without any hindrance, and even become a hot commodity as soon as they are released, is largely due to the crazy demand of those behind bars. Not only will they not refuse anyone who comes, but they will also give you a discount. Who can stand this?

The Iron Window Faction was first captured by the Third Brother and became the Iron Window Faction. Only then did the Sixth Brother have the opportunity to create their demand for food stamps.

Therefore, the implementation of banknotes often needs to be backed by violence.

If there was no demand from the behind bars faction, then the food stamps received by the big households would definitely be distributed to the common people as wages. When ordinary people receive food stamps, they will definitely go to the warehouse to exchange for food as soon as possible.

Therefore, for a long period of time, as many food stamps were issued as many grains were redeemed, it was not until people gained confidence in the food stamps that they began to receive the so-called seigniorage.

But there is a big question mark as to whether the few hundred thousand dan of grain stored in the three storage warehouses in Suzhou will be enough to last until then.

Most likely it won't last. At least it won't be like now, when the seigniorage is full from the beginning - almost no one takes food stamps to redeem food in the reserve warehouse. Because that would be too much of a loss, so why not spend it at a big dog food store and enjoy a discount?

"Now I finally understand what you said, 'As long as it can be recognized by people, paper is money.'" King Jin sighed sincerely, and then thought of a thorny question:

"It's just one year... oh, after eleven months, those big households won't need food stamps. If we cash them out together then, will they be able to withstand it?"

Because the order price of the weaving and dyeing bureau is very reasonable, the cheapest plain silk will be bid for one piece, and the order price for the silk silk is as high as three thousand yuan. The factories in the city worked at full capacity for a year, and the food stamps they received in exchange were probably worth tens of millions of dan.

"Yes, it is indeed a severe test." Lao Liu nodded, the barrier lake was forming.

"Should we lock them up for another year?" Third Brother came up with an idea: "Unless they voluntarily give up the exchange?"

"What a good idea." Zhu Zhen couldn't help but laugh and said, his third brother is really a damn talent. "But it's better to follow the rules. We can break our word, but the price is that no one will believe us anymore."

"Then where will you get so much food?" King Jin said solemnly: "Even if they are so honest now, they might be holding back their efforts. Even if they don't want to, someone will force them to do it."

"Yes." Zhu Zhen nodded. He naturally knew that the battle was far from a winner. Then he pointed to the pile of silk and said, "So we still have to sell these."

"With so much, can we sell the few ships in the commercial fleet?" The third child was a little worried for him.

"Third brother, do you believe it? I can sell it back to them at a higher price, and they have to thank me." Lao Liu blinked and smiled.

"In your quantitative evaluation, add one more item: Who buys more silk from the Weaving and Dyeing Bureau?" Lao San asked with a smile.

"What kind of skill is that?" Lao Liu shook his head and said confidently: "I don't put any strings attached and let them beg me to sell."

"Awesome." The third brother gave a thumbs up.

At the end of the month, after a few days of intense scoring, the rankings for the first month came out.

Suzhou government office, in the visiting room of the Prison Temple.

"How's it going? Where does the eldest brother rank?" Zhu She asked the eldest brother with a solemn face. Zhu Chang also stared at his father nervously.

"Not good..." Zhu He took out the ranking list sent to the prison and said depressedly: "Sixty-two."

"Huh?" Both his brother and son cried out in disappointment. If this ranking were to be maintained until the end, all their property would be confiscated.

"We have tried our best, why are we ranked so low?" The two quickly took a look at the ranking list. Sure enough, they found Zhu He's name behind a long list of names. The serial number of '62' in front of it was particularly special. Dazzling.

After the name, each of Zhu He's scores was listed one by one, as well as the total score of the four categories.

Zhu She and Zhu Chang quickly analyzed each item one by one. I found that for the third item, the amount of donation, everyone scored about the same, with three or four points more and one or two points less. The difference was not big.

And in the first item, the number of hired workers, their family scored quite high, scoring 12 points, ranking 38th in the single item.

But the second item, the amount of food stamps, their family took care of. Ranked 70th, with only eight points.

"In this item, Yuan Hua scored the highest score of 19 points." Zhu He didn't sleep all night last night and almost analyzed the table to death. "This opened up an eleven-point gap."

"They saved so much?" Zhu She and Zhu Chang both gasped.

"If you want to get food stamps now, you have to either have more looms and complete more orders, so you can get more food stamps. Or you can have more industries and trade, so you can receive more food stamps." Zhu He analyzed:

"The Yuan family has the most looms and a lot of industry. We really can't compare."

"Yes." Zhu Chang nodded and said, "We have already hired enough people. During the busiest times in previous years, we didn't hire so many people. The wages are still ridiculously high."

"Can we recruit people from other places?" Zhu He thought of a way and said, "There must be a lot of weavers in places like Hangzhou, Jiaxu, Songjiang, etc."

"Everyone is recruiting," Zhu Chang said, "They are also willing to come, but there are not enough looms."

"A loom is now several times more expensive than before. If you have money, you can't even buy one." Zhu She said with a wry smile.

"..." Zhu He thought for a long time and said in a deep voice: "Now that the weather is getting long, let the workers work overtime! If that doesn't work, you can still work by light at night!"

"What a good idea." Zhu Chang's eyes lit up and he said, "If that doesn't work out, we'll work in two shifts day and night, with people off and not on the machine! Wouldn't this allow us to hire another group of workers from other places?"

"Hmm, in this way, one loom of ours is worth two of others!" Zhu She also said excitedly: "I will definitely get it back next month!"

"Yeah. Just do it!" Zhu He nodded heavily and pointed to the fourth item: "This extra reward is also very high. We didn't get any points, so we were naturally left behind."

"Yes, Zhou Dachao's family directly added fifteen points because they donated the formula of Chupi Sichuan paper." Zhu Chang said enviously: "Do we have anything to contribute?"

"It's true..." Zhu He said quietly: "But we have to wait a little longer. We will tell you when His Highness releases the mission. I will definitely give high marks at that time."
