Father can be an enemy country

Chapter 397
Early the next morning, outside Changmen, Guanqian Street, Xuanmiaoguan, etc., the most prosperous places in Suzhou City, various pawnshops, gold and silver shops, silk shops, tea shops, Nanhuo shops, tailor shops, bathhouses...the door panels were removed When it opened, most of the shops were in the same
Hang up the sign of 'our store welcomes food stamps'.

In order to attract customers to spend with food stamps, some stores still have the words "[-]% off consumption with food stamps" written on the sign.

This large-scale abnormal behavior naturally aroused the curiosity of Suzhou citizens.People have asked the store, what is a food stamp?

The store's answer was even more outrageous. They had never seen what the food stamps looked like.It was the owner's order overnight, and they only knew that the thing could be used to exchange grain from the three preparatory warehouses in Suzhou City.

"I heard that it seems to be issued by the Weaving and Dyeing Bureau, and the county government is responsible for the payment." Finally, a well-informed shopkeeper revealed:
"But don't think about printing it yourself, I heard that it will be beheaded for the crime of counterfeiting banknotes!"

"I don't even know... what the food stamps look like, how do you print them yourself?" Everyone laughed.

Since they couldn't see the real thing, everyone gradually dispersed.And their attention was quickly attracted by a piece of great news——

The various factories that have been in a state of shutdown since the beginning of the year have started to recruit workers at the same time!

And not only those workshops related to the silk weaving industry, but also those shops and workshops in cotton spinning, printing, papermaking, and iron smelting, all went to Guanqian Street to recruit workers...

Lao Liu and Robben, who visited incognito on the street, even saw that even the entrances of brothels and bathhouses were hung under the guise of "recruiting talents and giving favorable treatment".

Of course, workers in the silk weaving industry are the most sought-after, because the only place known to get food stamps is the Suzhou Weaving and Dyeing Bureau.

Therefore, when large households hire workers from other industries, they can only meet the assessment of 'improving the employment of citizens'.However, if workers from the silk weaving industry are employed, another assessment of 'obtaining food stamps' can also be taken into account at the same time.

As for the third assessment 'amount of donations', the big households are not stupid, on the contrary, they are as smart as monkeys.At the beginning of the assessment, coins will not be thrown in vain.

You have to wait until the end, and according to the actual situation, recharge at one time to improve or keep the ranking.

Now krypton gold, too early.The effect is not good, and it may be targeted...

~~
Therefore, those unemployed weavers squatting on Guanqian Street, who were so hungry that they were so hungry, suddenly changed from roadside grass that no one cares about, to a sought-after sweet pastry.

The unemployed weavers, who have been in drought for a long time, were crazy at first, as long as someone wanted them, they would follow them.

But they are not stupid, and they quickly come to their senses.They are all working for big dogs, of course, whoever pays the highest wages will do it.

"How much do you charge?" The unemployed weavers finally straightened up in the face of the 'managers' who usually don't care about them.

"Forty renminbi a day, one meal, and rewards at the end of the month." A chubby manager said, "How about it, be kind?"

Forty cents a day is the current market price.And when they heard that there was money in charge of the meal at the end of the month, the unemployed weavers flocked to the fat steward.

"We are fifty cents a day." Seeing that the skilled workers were about to be paid by the fat steward, the thin steward of the other house hurriedly increased the price: "We also take care of the meals, and there are rewards at the end of the month!"

"We are sixty yuan..." It was like opening a Pandora's box. In order to compete for workers, various companies began to increase their quotations.

"I'm seventy..."

"Eighty characters!"

The unemployed weavers were dumbfounded. Why did the other party double their wages before they negotiated the price?
You know, even when the market is the best and labor is in short supply, ordinary weavers can't get eighty yuan a day.Only the best Kesi masters and dyers with the best craftsmanship can reach this price.

"You guys are not lying, are you?" The happiness came so suddenly that the weavers suddenly felt unreal.

"What are you talking about, what is the reputation of our boss, can it deceive you? Besides, what is there to deceive you?" The stewards were full of dissatisfaction.

In fact, they were also very upset. They didn't know what the boss was doing, but suddenly they were about to start work, and they were asked to recruit as many workers as possible at all costs.

It doesn't matter if you don't need so many people for a while, you can find some jobs for them at will, even if you ask them to count millet, you will support them first.Don't let others recruit you...

Under the guidance of this kind of thinking, the wages are not in the sky?

The appearance of spiritual capitalists who feel distressed and have to keep processing money at the same time is really interesting.

~~
Another very important factor in the wages of the weavers is the contest between the returning home faction and the behind bars.

The returning home faction wanted to prove their abilities in front of His Highness, and wanted to regain their position in the silk weaving industry in Suzhou.Of course, there is also the psychology of revenge against the jailed sects.

In short, for various reasons, the returning home faction would not hesitate to sell everything and go bankrupt.

The behind-the-scenes faction is even more motivated, and its strength is stronger than that of the returning home faction. Naturally, the latter cannot be allowed to compete.

So you raise the price, I raise the price; I finish the price increase, you raise the price again... Together they pushed the wages of the workers to an astonishing one hundred yuan a day...

"Isn't this too much?" Now, even Luo Guanzhong couldn't stand it anymore.Reminding Zhu Zhen: "Who can afford such a high salary? It won't make them go bankrupt, right?"

"No." Zhu Zhen chuckled, patted Lao Luo on the shoulder and said, "Your family has never had much money, and you don't know anything about the wealth of big families in Suzhou."

As he spoke, he looked up at the sealed-off Lu Yuan in the distance, and sighed quietly: "That's the wealth accumulated over the past 200 years."

Zhu Zhen heard a saying before that the reason why the ancient times were in deflation for a long time was because the rich liked to hide the gold, silver and copper money they earned.A large amount of hard currency is withdrawn from circulation, eventually causing the economy to dry up.

He has always been skeptical about this statement, thinking how much gold, silver and copper coins can the rich hide, which can make the country's currency dry up and the economy collapse?
But the third brother told him that the gold, silver and copper coins found in the Lu family's cellar were worth more than 100 million guan...and that didn't count the jewelry, calligraphy, paintings, gold, silver and jade objects.

His Royal Highness Chu Wang was directly confused.

When King Chu told Luo Guanzhong about this, it was Teacher Luo's turn to be shocked.

Suddenly, Teacher Luo raised his hand and slapped himself hard.

"Mr. Luo, don't do this." Zhu Zhen hurriedly persuaded: "Don't do this, Teacher Luo."

"It's okay, I'm very calm." Luo Guanzhong said with great depression against the red marks on his face, "I thought of Zhang Jiusi who asked me to persuade the big families to pay for the army, and they gave out a total of [-] guan. He also told Zhang Jiusi that there are too many... so he was playing me like a monkey!"
