The Great Industrial Ming Dynasty Started from Beiping

Chapter 180

In order to promote food stamps, Zhu Gaochi held a hearing, and invited the mine advocate Dehui, Zhou Yourong, Chen Yu, Zhou Wen, Guo Song, deputy director of the Honeycomb Chamber of Commerce, and Juniper, a southern salt merchant.

The venue of the meeting was not in Shizifu, but in China Heavy Industry. The huge factory area showed the strength of China Heavy Industry.

"We hope that you can take the lead." Zhu Gaochi explained the food stamps, and finally said sincerely.

Among the crowd, no one refused.

Not because of the power of the palace, nor because of the financial resources of China Heavy Industry, but because the food stamps are worth it.

"The food stamps are beneficial to us, and there is absolutely no reason to refuse them." Juniper, a southern salt merchant, smiled respectfully, looking sincere.

In his opinion, this thing has solved his problem, and there is no risk to him at all.

He had previously asked the railway if it could be settled with grain, but now it was just a transfer.

He believed that no one would refuse to use grain to settle the freight with the railway.

Even if you don't believe in the credibility of the palace, you can exchange the food stamps and settle the freight directly with the railway.

The use of grain to settle freight charges is the demand of rich and powerful salt merchants, and China Heavy Industry has met their needs.

The rest followed suit.

In the same way, they can directly use food stamps for settlement, or they can exchange for food, so why not do it.

"The settlement of food stamps, mining areas, and honeycomb coal chamber of commerce can be mortgaged first." Zhu Gaochi provided a new method.

Everyone hesitated when they heard the words, the mortgage didn't sound like a good thing.

This matter has nothing to do with Juniper, so he hung up high and watched coldly, which just happened to see the style of the little prince.

"Whether it is the mining area or the honeycomb coal chamber of commerce, you need to settle the freight with the railway, and you need to exchange silver for food stamps."

"Everyone sitting here is an old partner with China Heavy Industry. Naturally, you can trust China Heavy Industry, but there must be some people who can't believe it. They are unwilling to put the silver in the cash drawer first, and then exchange it for food stamps."

Zhu Gaochi explained, "Those who are unwilling to exchange silver for food stamps first, China Heavy Industries will provide a credit line based on the value of the mine, and they can borrow food stamps."

As for the physical mortgage, Zhu Gaochi did not discuss it in detail.

For the credit line loan, Zhu Gaochi is not afraid that the businessman will default on China Heavy Industry.

China Heavy Industries is Party A, a referee, and an executor. For those who maliciously breach the contract, is China Heavy Industries afraid that they will not be able to take back the mining area.

Only the mining areas with mines are the most sought-after goods at the moment, and they are not afraid that they will not be sold.

Salt merchants in the south exchange grain for food stamps, which is also a payment method. There is no risk to the southern salt merchants, and they do not need to pay first.

However, businessmen in Peiping are different from railways. Zhu Gaochi currently does not plan to equate food stamps with coal.

Because the design is complicated, he needs to wait until the rest of the provinces have been opened up, and when the coal mines have become the hard currency of the rest of the provinces, he will equate the food stamps with coal to strengthen the value of the food stamps.

A food stamp is a piece of paper.

People think it is valuable, it is currency, think it is worthless, it is a piece of waste paper.

Daming banknotes relied on the credibility of the court in the early Ming Dynasty. In the early days, people trusted the banknotes, so the banknotes could be used as money.

However, the political system of the Ming Dynasty was not perfect. With the decline of the credibility of the banknotes, people no longer trusted the banknotes, so the banknotes became less and less valuable, and no one was willing to use them.

Dollars are valuable all over the world because people recognize them.

After World War II, the United States lent a large amount of dollars to provide countries with dollars to purchase American goods, strengthening the value of the dollar.

When the U.S. dollar is bound to oil, and all countries are inseparable from purchasing oil from the Middle East, the U.S. dollar has become the world currency.

Now Zhu Gaochi is building a trust relationship between food stamps and merchants.

So he adopted the most conservative method, which is equivalent to bartering, with an added procedure in the middle.

When this procedure is approved by the merchants, the food stamps are equivalent to the currency value in the eyes of the merchants.

The more people who approve food stamps, the stronger the monetary value of food stamps.

When the bulk commodities in North Parallel Province are finally settled with food stamps, they can radiate to all walks of life.

When the rest of the provinces, like Beiping, entered the age of coal and coal became a hard currency, then as long as Zhu Gaochi controlled the coal-producing areas and was linked to food stamps, it became the common currency of the rest of the provinces.

The coal-producing area is in Shanxi, in Beiping, and in the grasslands. As long as you control these three areas, you will control the market pricing power of the national coal industry.

In short.

Combined with the trade situation in Peiping, the simplest exchange method adopted solves the worries of merchants, that is, the issue of trust.

Regarding the issue of food stamps, Zhu Gaochi made sufficient preparations, and people had no problems, and quickly reached an agreement to use food stamps as a settlement method in the future.

The cash drawer is located in Beiping Mansion, named the Food Ticket Bank, and temporarily tried to implement 500 shi food stamps, 50 shi food stamps, and [-] shi food stamps, corresponding to [-] taels, [-] taels, and [-] taels.

According to this system, China Heavy Industry carried out internal reforms.

Set up a silver warehouse, a granary.

For internal operations, each factory uses food stamps instead. For example, the coke refinery receives and disburses 1 taels of copper coins and silver into the silver warehouse, and the grain stamp bank exchanges [-] shi for grain stamps.

Finally, what was handed over to the accounting office at the headquarters was the remaining food stamps.

At Beipingfu Station, food stamps worth 5 shi were issued in one go, that is, food stamps worth [-] taels of silver.

When the [-] shi grain coupons are settled, one has to receive [-] shi grains, or the equivalent in silver.

This settlement method requires a major reform of the account room.

And China Heavy Industry recruits talents who are literate and able to calculate accounts all the year round, laying the foundation for this and providing enough talents.

The original account room was renamed the Finance Department, and each factory and station was rectified by the Finance Department, and a three-level system of property department and property room was established.

There is one director of the Finance Department and three deputy directors. It has a cashier department, an audit department, an accounting department, an induction department, and a budget control department.

In the original account rooms of each factory, the separation of expenditure and deposit was implemented, the financial system was improved, and the financial management order of the main factory and the branch factory was unified.

The Food Stamps Bank has a president and a vice president, and deepens cooperation with China Heavy Industry Property Department to supervise and manage each other.

According to this reform, each factory has also been optimized.

Coke refinery, iron factory, steam engine factory, Daxing agricultural tool factory, etc. are positioned as first-level factories, railway track factories, chemical fertilizer factories, glass factories and other factories are positioned as second-level factories, and local agricultural tool factories are positioned as third-level factories.

The levels were unified, and eighteen levels were set.

From Zhou Shifeng's third grade, Xu Ning's fifth grade, Wan San's sixth grade, Wang Ren's eighth grade... to the new handyman's eighteenth grade.

The entire China Heavy Industry has a clear division of positions.

The level of the factory directors of each branch factory is also different. It is clear at a glance who has a higher level, and a promotion channel has been opened.

The silver warehouse and granary of China Heavy Industry established a factory guard team, and Zhu Gaochi appointed his own guard commander, that is, Li Biao also served as the captain of the factory guard team.

The factory guard team consisted of 500 people, recruited military households from the guards, asked for the bodyguard establishment from the palace, and gave five hundred households places.

Therefore, Li Biao was also promoted to deputy thousand households.

Now that Li Biao was promoted, Zhu Di also let go happily, and Zhu Neng was also promoted from Deputy Qianhu to Qianhu.

just.

The reward from the Jinzhou Zhongzuo Institute also came down. Zhu Yuanzhang agreed to Zhu Di's memorial and appointed Sun Yan as the commander of the Jinzhou Guard.

"In the past when the guards were expanded to the north, the local government would find it difficult to go to the northern border. I didn't expect that the fourth child would ask for it."

Zhu Yuanzhang put down the memorial in his hand and couldn't help laughing.

Jiang Xian didn't say a word.

A saint does not need him to speak.

Zhu Yuanzhang was getting older, his hair was overgrown with white hair, which had changed a lot from two years ago, and his eyes were cloudy a lot.

But the energy is still so high, it looks as if he is competing with something.

"Over the years, the northern region has moved to expand its borders, but it is a pity that it is trapped in production. It is called productivity." Zhu Yuanzhang thought about it, and his memory became worse and worse.

"Productivity, one to one hundred, dare to say." Zhu Yuanzhang sighed.

There was hope and suspicion in his eyes.

He has never seen anything in his life, and everything in the world is in his mind, but the denseness of Beiping often arouses his self-doubt.

"The fourth son's son can really suppress other people's self-confidence. No wonder the fourth son often complains." Zhu Yuanzhang laughed suddenly, "That's not okay, he doesn't look like a father."

After muttering to himself, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Jiang Xian.

"Tell me, Jin Yiwei has a very high status in the palace. Over the years, it may have been exposed. The fourth child is on alert."

Zhu Yuanzhang hesitated.

Will he take refuge in the fourth child?Otherwise, what he said was all good about the palace. Although he knew that the fourth child was good since he was a child, Zhu Yuanzhang still couldn't help being suspicious.

The second son behaved well since he was a child, but he was too disappointed and failed his trust when he became the empress.

Jiang Xian hesitated, he didn't dare to give an accurate reply, hesitated for a while, and said anxiously: "It should not have been discovered."

In order to be sure, Jiang Xian added: "It's just that the counselors around King Yan are resourceful and may be suspected, but they are absolutely impossible to confirm."

Zhu Yuanzhang was not only not angry when he heard this sentence, but became happy instead.

It turned out that the person who suspected that his son had discovered him was a little unhappy, but he didn't want his son to be fooled by Jin Yiwei.

I am old.

In the huge palace, the queen left him, the prince also left him, and there was no one worthy of his trust anymore.

Such a big country needs an adult son. Zhu Yunwen was young, and Zhu Yuanzhang was worried that his grandson would not be able to take on the heavy responsibility.

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and dismissed Jiang Xian.

Soon, the decree came out again.

From Yingtianfu and Zhejiang, military households were transferred to Jinzhouwei.

[-] households, with a total of more than [-] people, were supplied by Shandong and Beiping to meet the needs of Jinzhou Wei and Fuzhou Wei in the early stage of farming.

Both Jinzhou Guard and Fuzhou Guard were fully staffed, and a prison city of Yongning was established dozens of miles away from Fuzhou.

Zhu Yuanzhang decided to pardon the sinners who were assigned to Jinzhou before, but he also saw through the plan of the fourth brother and would not just follow him.

These people are not ordinary people. A few hundred people can lead an army of tens of thousands, and they must not fall into the hands of the fourth child.

Zhu Yuanzhang originally wanted to kill him, but later changed his mind, but he was unwilling to let this power fall into the hands of others.

Not even the fourth child.
