Father can be an enemy country

Chapter 398
"Then Zhang Jiusi won't need you, right?" King Chu leaned forward happily.

"No, I took the initiative to abandon him."

"Alright, Mr. Luo has vision." King Chu laughed loudly, with his hands behind his back, walking on the street that seemed to have regained his vitality in an instant.

From the street to the end of the street, Luo Guanzhong counted, and about [-]% of the shops had hung up signs saying 'Our store welcomes food stamps'.

These stores are obviously the property of the iron window faction family, at least under their actual control.

"No wonder His Highness wants to give those big families a chance, even though they can grab them openly." Now he also understood that if the sixth child directly confiscated the properties of those big families, the city of Suzhou would definitely be paralyzed.

"How can the imperial court have so many people to take over so many industries? Even if there are people, just take over and restart the business, let alone half a year of chaos. The citizens of Suzhou who are starving for food can't wait that long." Zhu Zhen said in a way that is not commensurate with his age tone, said lightly:
"Furthermore, someone will always fill the ecological niche vacated by the big households. Instead of letting the upstarts who don't know the heights of the sky and the earth to complete primitive accumulation by any means, it's better to keep the old money that has been beaten up. After all, they look better after all."

While speaking, he walked into the Yamen of the Weaving and Dyeing Bureau located in the east of Tianxin Bridge.

~~
Hearing that His Royal Highness was coming, Gu Yuanchen, who had been transferred to the special office of the Weaving and Dyeing Bureau, hurried out to greet him.

"Get up." The King of Chu raised his hand and said with a pleasant smile: "This king came here and stopped by to have a look. How is it going? Is everything going well?"

"Your Highness has already fed the food to his mouth, so why is it not going well?" Gu Yuanchen smiled tiredly and relieved:

"From last night to now, there have been no people around my subordinates, and they all came to build relationships with me and reminisce about old friendships."

"Haha, it feels good to be hot, right?"

"Hey, there are mixed flavors. This ups and downs, I really saw the world's coldness." Gu Yuanchen sighed.

"Isn't it better than 'I've never seen someone in a hurry'?" King Chu sat down in the gazebo with a smile. The guards brought food boxes and kettles, and Gu Yuanchen quickly helped to set up snacks and make a cup of tea.

Boss Zhu has a high awareness of safety and ordered his sons not to touch the food provided by outsiders when they are outside the palace.All entrances must be prepared by themselves.

Originally, the sixth child didn't take it seriously. He still has to eat a hundred meals, so it's okay.But after Lu Zhonghe's case, he finally knew that the old thief was not worrying for nothing.This is honestly following the rules.

After His Highness ate a snack and drank two sips of tea, Gu Yuanchen reported:

"Those who come to look for subordinates, without exception, come to ask for orders."

"Give it to them." The King of Chu smiled and said, "Didn't it be agreed? First order [-] horses and let them start work."

"One hundred thousand horses is not a problem, they can weave any more." Gu Yuanchen smiled wryly, "But the problem is that they don't want money, they only want food stamps. The subordinates don't have any..."

"That's it..." His Royal Highness the King of Chu never imagined that after solving all kinds of problems by himself, he ended up getting stuck on the ticket.

"You write an IOU in the name of the Weaving and Dyeing Bureau and ask them to start working first, and then give it to them after the food stamps are printed." He ordered.

"Hey." Gu Yuanchen also meant the same thing, but it's always right to ask for instructions first.

~~
After drinking tea, Zhu Zhen followed Gu Yuanchen to the backyard of the Weaving and Dyeing Bureau.

But he didn't come to see the silk weaving, but the printing of food stamps.

Suzhou was not only the center of the silk weaving industry in the Ming Dynasty, but also the center of the printing and publishing industry.According to His Highness King Chu's order, Gu Yuanchen did not spend much effort to create a production line from paper making, engraving to printing.

But the problem is, no one has ever printed banknotes... so up to now, these craftsmen haven't figured out how to print them.

So His Royal Highness Chu asked Gu Yuanchen to call them all over and hold a meeting for them on the spot.

After they kowtowed, Zhu Zhen said: "Tell me, if there is any problem, I will solve it for you on the spot."

"Yes, Your Highness." The foreman craftsman said cautiously: "After a few discussions with the villain, I feel that food stamps must meet two requirements. One is durable and will not be easily worn; Forgery. I don’t know if what the villain said is right..."

"Hahaha." Hearing this, Zhu Zhen couldn't help laughing and said, "Don't be so careful. Just say it, it's like printing treasure notes, and it's over?"

"Hey, I don't dare to say such nonsense..." the craftsman hurriedly said with a sneer.Counterfeit banknotes will be beheaded.

"It doesn't matter, we are printing food stamps, what does it have to do with treasure banknotes?" Zhu Zhen waved his hand and said, "It's just borrowing the technique of printing banknotes, don't worry about it."

"Yes." The foreman craftsman dared to say: "First of all, you can't use ordinary paper. You must use durable paper, preferably the kind that is difficult for ordinary people to obtain. For example, the Song Dynasty used Chupichuan paper to print banknotes. This dynasty uses mulberry paper, which is soft and durable, not brittle or yellow, and has outstanding advantages."

"The formula of mulberry paper is the top secret, even if I know it, I can't tell you." Zhu Zhen said with a smile: "But Chupi Chuan paper is not so sensitive anymore, I can try to make it."

As he said that, he said to Luo Guanzhong who was at the side: "Mr. Luo, the first task is released, offering a reward for the craftsmanship of Chupi Sichuan paper."

"Yes." Under the surprised gazes of everyone, Luo Guanzhong turned expressionlessly and went out, sending a message to the behind bars.

"It doesn't matter if you can't get the craftsmanship of Chupi Chuan paper, can a living person be suffocated by urine?" His Royal Highness Chu said to the craftsmen again: "You can use the paper that is closest to the requirements in your hand to print, at least thicker. .”

"Then use porcelain blue paper." The foreman craftsman said, lest His Highness would not understand, he explained again. "It's the kind of paper used as book covers."

"That's right, that kind of paper is good." Lao Liu nodded with a smile.

"If you use porcelain blue paper, you can also apply glue, powder, dye, wax, calender, sprinkle gold, print on it..." The paper must be laid down, and the craftsmen immediately became energetic, wishing to use all the crafts. superior.

"You can also use micro-engraved characters on food stamps. The micro-engraved characters themselves can be anti-counterfeiting, and you can also intentionally carve individual characters wrong, so that counterfeiters don't know what to do!"

"Miniature painting also has the same effect..."

"You can do whatever you want, but you must be quick." Zhu Zhen listened to the craftsmen with relish, and Fang Chen ordered: "Within three days, the king will see the sample tickets, and after five days, at least [-] copies will be printed. !"

"Your Highness, in such a hurry, it is difficult to work carefully, and I am afraid that it will not be conducive to anti-counterfeiting." The foreman craftsman wondered.

"Just do your best." Zhu Zhen waved his hand and said, "I can't rely entirely on you to prevent counterfeiting. I have other methods!"
