"As the number of transactions increases, people with skills and skills will become more and more popular."
"As for real farmers, without the blessing of craftsmanship, they have very few ways to obtain materials."
"Before the autumn grain harvest, this unevenness will gradually become apparent."
After Qin Ming left, Song Yang and Fang Zhe discussed the current situation reflected in this incident.
"How about banning private transactions?" Fang Zhe suggested.
"No, it can't be controlled. Private transactions must be strictly prohibited, which requires a lot of manpower and material resources."
Song Yang shook his head, this kind of thing cannot be completely avoided.
"And there is bound to be a shortage of materials at this stage. Even after the autumn harvest, the food crisis has only been solved, and other materials are still in short supply."
"Things such as cloth, craftsman's crafts, and tools are all scarce. It will probably take at least three to five years before sufficient supplies of materials are restored."
Song Yang's analysis of the situation is very accurate, and this is the reality.
Nowadays, only food is rationed and distributed. People who want to eat meat but do not have the means to hunt can only exchange food for meat.
Although food will be available after the autumn harvest, vegetables, poultry, eggs, various tools, woodwork, and all other necessary things still have to be exchanged for food.
When various materials are not fully supplied and land is not formally allocated.
There will be a situation where farmers become poorer and craftsmen become richer.
Because the resources in the hands of farmers are too limited, they only have one pound of staple food per day, and they can only grow some vegetables by themselves.
At this time, the introduction of currency, coupled with the government's tilted control and allowing farmers to use the land's expected output as collateral, can actually make this matter slightly more balanced.
But copper coins and iron coins are all used as materials to make tools, and the implementation of gold and silver coins is simply not enough.
"How about implementing a food stamp system!"
Song Yang had an idea and thought of something like food stamps.
"Food stamps?"
Fang Zhe looked confused, having never heard of this word at all.
"It is a shopping voucher that replaces gold and silver currency."
"For example, we issue one pound of food stamps, which is equivalent to grain. People who need food can go to places designated by the government to buy it. Those who don't need food can use food stamps to exchange for things with others."
"Trading in food stamps is easier to manage than trading in grain directly."
"And we can control the circulation of food in the market by issuing food stamps."
"In addition to food stamps, there are also meat stamps, cloth stamps, etc. All kinds of materials are distributed in the form of stamps."
Song Yang spent a long time explaining to Fang Zhe what food stamps were.
Fang Zhe squinted his eyes and pondered for a long time, then slowly nodded and said: "My lord, I think this matter is feasible."
"Now we in Jiangzhou are short of supplies. Using this ticket transaction method can allow people who don't need the items temporarily to hold tickets and wait."
"And the issuance of tickets is our official decision, and the control of market transactions can also be strengthened."
After following Song Yang for a long time, Fang Zhe will also have some fashionable words in his mouth.
"That's what it means. If you want to issue various tickets, you need to gather all the materials at the official sales agency."
"So we should open a supply and marketing cooperative. Well, it's a department store, selling goods from the north and the south, and put all the materials in the supply and marketing cooperative for unified sale."
"This also facilitates material management and material circulation."
Song Yang once again introduced the supply and marketing cooperative, something that was ahead of its time.
Fang Zhe immediately expressed his support.
In fact, now the government is also responsible for the work of supply and marketing cooperatives.
The materials produced by each workshop are uniformly distributed by Fang Zhe.
In other words, all the output of the workshop's working hours are public, and only what the workers make after work is private.
Establish a supply and marketing cooperative to centralize all publicly owned things for sale, but separate this work from the government.
"Your Majesty, after the introduction of voting, if transactions are completely liberalized, there may be some trouble." Fang Zhe thought about this problem.
When supplies are in short supply, some people will have a certain degree of attraction after they have mastered high-quality resources.
At this time, if there is no control, it is still easy to cause resource tilt.
Song Yang thought for a moment and said, "This kind of thing cannot be completely avoided."
"Let's see, the officials will focus on commodity trading and not allow businessmen to speculate."
"As long as the price does not exceed too much, there is no need to worry about the transactions between small merchants and vendors."
All output in the new city is now under official control, and Song Yang has no plans to open up the private economy for the time being.
Especially various trading houses related to materials.
As long as there are no big merchants driving up prices, the role of food stamps can be maximized.
"Your Majesty is right. I'll be ready in the next few days."
Fang Zhe nodded, the ticket system must be implemented, and coordination must be done at the materials, workshops, and granary levels.
"The affairs of the supply and marketing cooperative are listed separately, and you choose someone to take care of it." Song Yang said.
By listing the supply and marketing cooperatives separately, some of Fang Zhe's burden can be levied.
"Let Wei Nan take charge of this matter. This guy has a very flexible mind and is good at calculations." Fang Zhe suggested.
Song Yang thought about it and nodded immediately.
So early the next morning, Song Yang arranged a new job for Wei Nan to prepare for the establishment of a supply and marketing cooperative, which took two days...
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I promise to complete the mission." Wei Nan clasped his fists and accepted the order.
Song Yang gave instructions to Wei Nan in the form of military orders.
"Um... Your Majesty, bid me go to the supply and marketing cooperative, where is the school..."
Wei Nan also serves as the class teacher. Although it is not much, he can attend one class a day.
"Don't worry, I'll let Song Chengwang take care of it!" Song Yang waved his hand.
Therefore, the prince of Fengzhou, a talented scholar in Fengzhou, a talented person in the future, the teacher of the small class in the school, and the head teacher of the large class in the school...
"Uncle Wang, don't worry, my nephew will teach these students well."
When Song Chengwang heard that he was asked to teach one more class, he was immediately full of enthusiasm.
This kid's enthusiasm for teaching is extremely high now.
Preparing lessons for the students every day has reached the point where I forget to eat and sleep.
When Song Chengwang was dreaming, he dreamed that all his students had become talented people, and his reputation as the number one talented person in Da Qian would be remembered for generations to come, so he was so active.
"Well! Have ideals! Have goals! Come on!"
Song Yang patted Song Chengwang on the shoulder and encouraged him.
…
After it was determined that food stamps would be implemented, Song Yang immediately asked someone to find calligraphy models with him.
Daqian already had movable type printing, and Jiangzhou City originally had several printing libraries.
Moreover, the government also has a document bureau responsible for printing official documents.
When Song Yang mentioned this matter yesterday, Fang Zhe said that all the printing equipment of the official document bureau had been burned down.
Now we can only place our hope on a few private libraries.
Some time ago, libraries were not the focus of the search, so they are still lying quietly in the ruins.
Early the next morning, Fang Zhe arranged a small team for Song Yang, and Song Yang personally took him to search for printing tools in the ruins.
