Lao Liuxin found an auspicious day of the zodiac, and invited a well-known matchmaker in the neighborhood to go to the county seat to propose marriage in the company of Xinglan.

Of course, there was no suspense as a result of the proposal, and this family affair was decided.

The next thing is for the county magistrate Fu to discuss with the Wang family, and watch an auspicious day for Fu Xiumei and Ying Xingting to hold a marriage ceremony.

The marriage ceremony was still carried out in Jingdi Village in accordance with the rules of the Wang family, and the squires and celebrities in the county took this opportunity to come to congratulate.

The daughter of the county magistrate's family married into the Wang family, and it became a good story for a while.

At this time, the independent battalion stationed in Shuangdingziliang, after careful preliminary reconnaissance, deployed a well-prepared anti-bandit operation, and attacked for 100 miles at night, attacking the calf, and severely damaged Liu Heiqi's bandit nest, this battle eliminated most of the bandits, and Liu Heiqi led the remnants to escape.

The independent battalion received a new task to go to Jinan to join Zhang Zongchang's large army, and Xingliang said goodbye to his old father and drove along with the troops.

The crackdown on bandits is over.

After giving Xing Ting, Xinglan's branch in the county town was also successfully opened, involving daily necessities, haberdashery, and wholesale and retail of various categories of goods.

In addition, the local charcoal and raw silk were also built to purchase local souvenirs, and the business was booming. Under his leadership, the deep processing technology of local raw silk products has been greatly improved. The people's income from agricultural and sideline products has also been greatly improved.

Seeing that since Xinglan entered the county seat to open a branch, the small county town has gradually prospered, and the face of political achievements has come out, and the county magistrate Fu has a happy face.

In order to commend and encourage Xinglan, combined with the policy of the government of the Republic of China at that time to encourage the small-scale peasant economy, a supporting policy was formulated for the Wang family to make a leap forward in business.

It is backed by the government, and the royal family issues vouchers that can be used as currency circulation - royal paper coupons!

Here's how:

The total assets of the Wang family after the field investigation and evaluation organized by the county: including 1,200 acres of land, more than 200 cultivated cattle, more than 800 goats, and all business assets are equivalent to 10,000 yuan in the ocean. The total is converted into 20,000 oceans.

The county government issued a credit certificate, a credit seal, and the county finance office issued a financial seal, and engraved with three different face value seals.

The Wang family has a seal of their own business name that has been filed in the county, and a private seal of Xinglan that has been recorded.

A total of seven currency stamps.

Regarding the small-scale circulation currency issued by the Republic of China, I found some information on the Internet and explained the following:

The currency in circulation in the small areas of the Republic of China is issued by the rural grassroots government or industrial and commercial people, and some can pay taxes in the local grain, such as the local ticket of the grassroots government; Some can be circulated for shopping, such as commercial bills issued by firms, which are only used for market change or business transactions between industrialists and merchants and bill clearing, which are not currency in the full sense. These two types of currencies of different natures constitute the local currency system of the Republic of China. There are a large number of physical bills for this kind of currency, which provides sufficient evidence for the study of the nature and classification of local currencies and the structure of the currency system of the Republic of China, and also reveals the close relationship between regional currencies and the rural economic and political environment.

This system of merchant issuing and circulating currency at least shows that it was real and objective under the social system at that time.

In this way, the Wang family can issue their own currency according to the number given by the county, and the total amount of currency issued shall not exceed the total assets assessed by the government of 20,000 oceans.

The three denominations are circle, angle, and minute. It is stipulated that it is equivalent to the legal tender of the government within the prefecture and can be circulated.

In other words, it is a blank piece of paper used by the Wang family, as long as it is stamped with the corresponding seal, it is equivalent to legal tender money, but the scope of temporary circulation is only in one county.

It is said that this was an incentive measure issued by the government of the Republic of China at that time in order to recover silver dollars and stimulate the private economy.

With the support of this policy, Xinglan's business has been strengthened, and it has gone to the countryside to buy raw silk and other products, and no longer has to carry it in his pocket and walk to the tinkling ocean.

Xinglan also doubled his confidence, recruited troops, and successively opened a printing and dyeing factory, a textile factory, a nest silk factory, and a silk products processing factory in the county.

Since then, there are several categories of items that are closely related to the daily life of ordinary people, mainly white cloth, and there is no need to go outside to purchase. At the same time, it also drove the enthusiasm of the people to plant cotton and raise silkworms.

At this time, in addition to regularly coming to get raw silk, the southern merchant introduced earlier also put the white cloth and cotton yarn of the Wang family together, and the quantity of requests gradually increased.

Xinglan also has a big customer from Zibo Zhoucun, the main varieties of this merchant are raw silk and charcoal, because silk products are in addition to Suzhou and Hangzhou in the south, which is Zhoucun in the north.

This merchant asked for charcoal because Zhoucun's baked cakes are famous all over the country, and a large amount of charcoal is needed to bake baked cakes.

With the expansion of Xinglan's business, the demand for raw materials such as agricultural and sideline products is increasing, and his business scope is far from satisfying one county.

Neighboring Xintai and Beixiang counties also became his agricultural and sideline product purchasing bases, and gradually, the royal currency also began to circulate in these two counties.

According to many old people later, the currency issued by the Wang family was indeed circulating in several counties at that time, but the scope was far from these three counties. It also includes most of the current Yishui County, the entire county of Yinan, and part of Fei County and Pingyi.

Xinglan's business is getting bigger and bigger, and a person named Fang Pinggong in the village began to gradually come to get close to him, this person is an old acquaintance from the period when Qianlan rushed to sell goods, and the two of them were next to each other for many years.

During this period of time, he went to the county seat to wander around, and every night he would take a bottle of wine to make some side dishes, and when Xinglan's shop closed, he would come to him to drink, saying that it was to catch up.

One is because of the old acquaintance who has been in the market together for many years, and the other is that Xinglan is also lonely in the county, as a young man who has not been married for a long time, on the one hand, he loves the business he is fighting for, and on the other hand, he inevitably suffers from lovesickness.

At night, there was not even a confidant who could talk to relieve boredom, and it just so happened that Fang Pinggong appeared at this time.

In this way, the relationship between the two has been further warmed. From the former neighbors who rushed to the market, they have become close friends who talk about everything。。。。。。

What Xinglan didn't know at this time was that it was because of this Fang Pinggong that his business would face an earth-shattering change!

If you want to know what happens next, next time it will be more exciting!
