Father can be an enemy country

Chapter 531
After the banquet, the guests returned to the inn and hotel arranged by Zeng Tai to rest.

At noon the next day, His Highness invited them to Xingyuan for tea.What I drank was the famous Lushan Yunwu tea in Jiangxi.

But everyone's mind is not on tea, they know that it's time to talk about business.

His Highness King Chu put down the teacup and said with a smile: "Anyone who knows me knows that my king's style has always been to drive pigs in small alleys - go straight."

"Yes, my lord is straightforward." All the guests nodded hurriedly, but those who had dealt with him secretly slandered, and they have never seen more twists and turns than you.

But the straightforwardness of the mouth does not conflict with the twists and turns in the stomach, so it cannot be said that His Highness is wrong.

"Then the king will cut to the chase. This time I invite you all to solve two big troubles." Zhu Zhen said in a deep voice.

"My lord, please speak." All the guests sat upright and listened attentively.

"One is Jiangnan's own trouble." Zhu Zhen sighed and said, "Of course, this trouble is caused by this king—that is, the food stamps issued by the Weaving and Dyeing Bureau with tens of millions of shi."

"..." This topic was too sensitive, no one dared to agree, they all kept silent and listened to the performance of the sixth child.

"In the situation of last year, many of you here were involved. Even if they were not, they should be familiar with the inside story." Zhu Zhen said with a wry smile: "At that time, the whole of Suzhou, and even Jiangnan, was facing a serious crisis of cutting off sea trade and closing factories. Urgently needed A lot of money to save the market, but the court has no money.

"As a last resort, this king asked the Weaving and Dyeing Bureau to issue food stamps, and let everyone hold their noses to admit it. This has overcome the difficulties and restored Suzhou's prosperity." Zhu Zhen said, looking at the former big bosses of the prison sect : "You don't blame the king, do you?"

"No, no, of course not." The Iron Window Faction hurriedly shook its head into a rattle, and said repeatedly: "Even if they didn't understand it at the time, don't they understand it now? Your Highness is doing it for our own good!"

"That's right! We caused such a big disaster, but in the end we were all safe and sound, and at the end of the day, we made money!" Zhu He and the others shouted: "From ancient times to the present, there has never been such a benevolent and righteous prince like Your Highness!"

"If you treat the food stamps as money, you will all make money, but aren't you afraid?" Zhu Zhen smiled and looked at the big families in Suzhou, and asked quietly: "What if the food stamps suddenly become worthless one day?" ,what to do?"

This time, not only the jailed sects, but even the returnees bowed their heads in shame.Gu Yuanchen said embarrassingly: "They did have concerns at first, otherwise they wouldn't have done those stupid things."

As he said that, he changed the topic: "But after the second Laba Banquet, Your Highness, everyone has no worries at all!"

"That's right." All the big households nodded one after another.

For Zhu Zhen's game, the export certification is too bad.Only silk certified by the Weaving and Dyeing Bureau can be exported, so that the silk hoarded by the Weaving and Dyeing Bureau will not worry about selling.

The food stamps of the Weaving and Dyeing Bureau are naturally stable.

"Hey, that's just a stopgap measure." Zhu Zhen waved his hand and said, "Because there is really not enough food on hand. This king can only use silk instead of food to endorse the value of food stamps."

"And it also used a little coercive means, which is not good." Zhu Zhen said in a deep voice:

"Everyone won't run because of Zhu Zhen's face and confidence in maritime trade. But this kind of value based on personal authority and trade is not solid at all.

"If for some reason, there is a problem with the sea trade, for example, there is friction with a foreign country. Or some powerful enemy appears on the other side of the sea, and the sea trade is forced to stop. Food stamps will also be in danger."

"Yes, yes..." All the guests responded in a low voice.

No wonder they're not worried.Especially those behind bars, now most of their assets are food stamps, so how serious are they if they don’t worry about food stamps going wrong?
It's just that it was just released, and I was deeply impressed by His Highness's iron fist, so I didn't dare to act rashly.Coupled with the greed for profits from maritime trade, they continued to hold food stamps by holding their noses.

"Now that His Highness has taken the initiative to raise the issue, it is obvious that there is a solution." Shen Rong hurriedly said:
"Don't tease us."

"Yes, Your Highness, hurry up and talk." Everyone also urged.

"Haha, good. In fact, the solution is very simple, but the simpler the solution, the more confidence it can give people." Zhu Zhen smiled and said: "Food stamps and food stamps can be exchanged for food at any time without limit, and they can be called food stamps." Food stamps!"

"Yes, yes," Gu Yuanchen continued, "but now food stamps with a denomination of almost 5000 million shi have been printed, where can we find so much food?"

"Come to Jiangxi to look for it. If Jiangxi is not enough for me, I will take you to Huguang to look for it." Only then did Zhu Zhen unravel the mystery and said:
"This king has just received 30 hectares of land from a large family in Jiangxi. Based on an estimate of two shi per mu, the annual output is more than 6000 million shi. After excluding labor and necessary expenses, it should not be a problem to collect 2000 million shi a year."

"With the income of 2000 million shi, there is no need to worry about food stamps!" All the big households said happily after hearing this.

In fact, as long as everyone has confidence in food stamps, no one will be free to exchange all food stamps into food.If grain is kept at home for a long time, it will become old grain and will depreciate.Moldy, hairy, and utterly worthless.

So as long as you believe that the Weaving and Dyeing Bureau has the ability to pay, no one will run on it.

Say a thousand words and ten thousand, and any pledged guarantee is not a real land, which can give people the most solid confidence.If the Bureau of Weaving and Dyeing has these 30 hectares of land, what else do you have to worry about?
With the 30 hectares of land in the Weaving and Dyeing Bureau, the value of food stamps has completely stopped.

At that time, the credit of food stamps will definitely exceed that of treasure banknotes, and it will be almost the same as real money.

In that way, food stamps are not only recognized by Suzhou people, but can be circulated throughout Jiangnan.

Only then will the food stamps in the hands of the big households be truly their wealth.No one will recognize her when she leaves Suzhou like now.And I was still worried, worried that one day it would be worthless.

~~
"Your Highness, let the Bureau of Weaving and Dyeing come forward and eat the 30 hectares of land!" So all the big families in Jiangnan said excitedly: "If the money is not enough, we can raise funds together!"

"Hey, don't be too happy, there are some obstacles here." Zhu Zhen changed the subject:

"First of all, you are all from the south of the Yangtze River. You came to Jiangxi to buy land across provinces, and the purchase cost hundreds of thousands of hectares. This is definitely not allowed by law."

"Yes." All the big households nodded.

Boss Zhu does not want people to move freely.Because once the population flows, it is not easy to manage and it is easy to cause problems.So in Boss Zhu's view, the most ideal situation is that everyone stays in their hometown and never changes places for the rest of their lives.

When everyone left the county, they had to go to the government to issue a guide.After going out, you must strictly follow the destination and return date written on the road guide.

All outsiders who do not have guides, or who have wrong guides, will be arrested by the government.Not to mention settling down and buying property locally.

This is also the reason why the big households in the south of the Yangtze River hold a large amount of wealth, but they don't go to other places to buy property, they can only roll it locally.
