Chapter 401 Roll Up

In this way, as Suzhou heard the sound of machine gunfire 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.

As soon as the silk weaving industry was revived, the city of Suzhou was revitalized. Amidst the constant buzzing of machines day and night, the smooth and smooth damask, brocade and gauze silk were like the endless water of mountain ponds and rivers.

It continued to flow into the warehouse of the Weaving and Dyeing Bureau.

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

He pointed to 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 in admiration: "It's just like turning rocks into gold!"

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

This is not true. The reason why food stamps can be promoted without any hindrance, and even become a hot commodity as soon as they come out, is largely due to the crazy demand of the behind-the-scenes faction. Not only will everyone who comes come be rejected, but they will also be given to you.

Who can bear this discount?

As for the Iron Window Sect, they were first captured by the Third Brother and became the Iron Window Sect. 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-the-scenes faction, then when the big households received the food stamps, they would definitely pay them as wages to the common people. When the common people received the food stamps, they would definitely go to the warehouse to exchange for food as soon as possible.

Therefore, for a long period of time, as many grain stamps were issued as they were redeemed, people could not begin to receive the so-called seigniorage until they gained confidence in the grain stamps.

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 City will be enough to last until then.

Most likely they won't be able to sustain it. At least it won't be like now, when the seigniorage is fully charged at the beginning - almost no one takes food stamps to the reserve warehouse to exchange for food. Because that would be too much of a loss, it is better to spend it at the food store of a big dog owner.

, and you can also enjoy discounts.

"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 they cash them out together then, will they be able to withstand it?"

Because the order price of the Dyeing and Weaving Bureau is very reasonable, the cheapest plain silk will be sold at the same price, and the order price of the silk silk is as high as three guans. The factories in the city work at full capacity for a year, and the food stamps they receive are afraid

It must cost tens of millions of stones.

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

"Should we lock them up for another year?" The 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. His third brother is really a damn talent. "But it's best 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 the trouble. 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 clear. He pointed at the pile of silk and said, "So we still have to sell all of these."

"With so many, 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 that quantitative evaluation of yours, 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 several days of intense scoring, the rankings for the first month were revealed.

Suzhou Mansion Office, Prison Temple Visiting Room.

"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 name 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 '62' in front of it was particularly special.

Dazzling.

After the name, Zhu He's scores for each item are listed one by one, as well as the total score of the four items.

Zhu She and Zhu Chang quickly analyzed each item one by one. They 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 in the second item, the amount of food stamps they had, their family failed. They ranked 70th, with only eight points.

"In this item, Yuan Hua, the highest scorer, scored 19 points." Zhu He didn't sleep all night last night and almost finished analyzing the table. "This is 11 points higher."

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

"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 that many people. The wages are still ridiculously high."

"Can we recruit people from other places?" Zhu He asked, "There are probably a lot of weavers in places like Hangjiahu and Songjiang."

"Everyone has gone to recruit them," 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 it." 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 longer, 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 can 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?"

"There really is..." Zhu He said quietly: "But we have to wait and wait until His Highness releases the mission. I will definitely give high marks then."
