"Then Zhang Jiusi doesn't need you, right?" The king of Chu was happy to lean forward and back together.

"No, I abandoned him on my own initiative."

"Okay, Mr. Luo just has a vision." The King of Chu laughed, put his hands behind his back, and walked on the street that seemed to be instantly rejuvenated.

Walking from the street to the end of the street, Luo Guanzhong counted that about sixty percent of the shops had hung up signs that said "Our store welcomes the use of food stamps".

These shops are obviously the property of the Iron Window family, at least under their actual control.

"No wonder His Highness can rob it openly, but he still has to give those big families a chance." Now he also understands that if the sixth child directly confiscates the property of those big families, Suzhou City will have to be paralyzed.

"How can the imperial court have so many people and take over so many industries? Even if there are people, the light handover and the resumption of business will be chaotic for half a year. The citizens of Suzhou, who are waiting to be fed, can't wait that long. Zhu Zhen said lightly in a tone that was incommensurate with his age:

"Besides, if the big households vacate the ecological niche, there will always be someone to fill it. Rather than letting the nouveau riche who don't know the height of the sky and the thickness of the sky go to complete the primitive accumulation by unscrupulous means, it is better to keep the old money that has been beaten, and they will look better after all. ”

As he spoke, 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 reappointed as the special manager of the Weaving and Dyeing Bureau, hurriedly came out to greet him.

"Get up." The king of Chu raised his hand and said with a smile: "This king walked here, stop by and take a look, how is it, is it going well?" ”

"His Royal Highness has already fed the food to his mouth, how can there be any reason why it will not go well?" Gu Yuanchen smiled tiredly and gratifyingly:

"From last night to now, there have been no people around my subordinates, and they are all here to talk to me and reminisce about old relationships."

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

"Hey, it's a mixed bag. This one fell together, and it was really cold to see the world. Gu Yuanchen sighed.

"It's better than 'I've never seen a person in an emergency', right?" The king of Chu sat down in the pavilion with a smile, the guards brought food boxes and kettles, and Gu Yuanchen hurriedly helped set up the snacks and make a cup of tea.

Boss Zhu has a high sense of safety and ordered his sons not to touch the food provided by outsiders when they are outside the palace. Bring your own everything at the entrance.

Originally, the sixth child didn't think much of this, he still had to live a hundred meals, so it's okay. But after Lu Zhonghe's case, he finally knew that the old thief was not unfounded. That's how honestly I followed the rules.

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

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

"Give it to them." King Chu smiled: "Didn't you say it's okay?" Order 100,000 horses first, and let them start work. ”

"100,000 horses are not a problem, no matter how many they can weave." Gu Yuanchen smiled bitterly: "But the problem is that they don't want money, they just want food stamps." The subordinates don't have a single ...... in their hands."

"That's it......" His Royal Highness the King of Chu couldn't have imagined that he had settled all kinds of problems, but in the end he was stuck on the ticket.

"You make an IOU in the name of the Weaving and Dyeing Bureau, and let them start work first, and then give them when the food stamps are printed." And he commanded.

"Hey." Gu Yuanchen also meant this, but it was always right to ask for instructions first.

~~

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

However, he did not come to see the silk weaving, but to print the food stamps.

Suzhou is not only the center of Daming silk weaving, but also the center of printing and publishing industry. With the instructions of His Royal Highness the King of Chu, Gu Yuanchen did not spend much effort to build a production line from papermaking, engraving to printing.

But the problem is, no one ever printed money...... So by this point, the craftsmen hadn't figured out how to print it.

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

After they kowtowed, Zhu Zhen said: "Let's talk about it, if there is any problem, this king will solve it for you on the spot." ”

"Yes, Your Highness." The foreman's craftsman said cautiously: "After a few discussions with the villain, I feel that the grain stamps must meet two requirements, one is durable and will not be easily worn; The second is to prevent counterfeiting and will not be forged. I don't know if what the villain said is right......"

"Hahaha." Zhu Zhen couldn't help laughing when he heard this: "Don't be so careful. You just said bluntly, if you want to be like printing treasure money, won't it be over? ”

"Hehe, the villain doesn't dare to talk nonsense......" the craftsman sneered. Counterfeiting treasure money is a beheading.

"It's okay, we're printing food stamps, what does it have to do with treasure money?" Zhu Zhen waved his hand and said: "It's just a matter of borrowing money printing technology, you don't have a psychological burden." ”

"Yes." Only then did the foreman dare to say bluntly: "First of all, you can't use ordinary paper, but you must use strong and durable paper, preferably the kind that is difficult for ordinary people to obtain." For example, the Song Dynasty used 楲pichuan paper to print money. The dynasty used mulberry paper, which is soft and durable, not brittle or yellow, and has outstanding advantages. ”

"The recipe for mulberry paper is top secret, and even if this king knows it, he can't tell you." Zhu Zhen said with a smile: "But the paper is not so sensitive, this king can try to do it." ”

Saying that, he said to Luo Guanzhong on the side: "Teacher Luo, release the first task and reward the craftsmanship of the Sichuan paper." ”

"Yes." In the surprised eyes of everyone, Luo Guanzhong turned around and went out expressionlessly, and sent a message to the Iron Window Faction.

"It doesn't matter if you can't get the process of the paper, the living can still suffocate urine?" His Royal Highness the King of Chu said to the craftsmen: "You can use the paper closest to the requirement in your hand to print, isn't it a big deal?" ”

"Then use porcelain paper." The foreman craftsman said, for fear that His Highness would not understand, so he explained again. "It's the kind of paper that is used as the cover of a book."

"Yes, that's the kind of paper, isn't that good?" The sixth nodded with a smile.

"If you use porcelain paper, you can also apply sizing, powdering, dyeing, waxing, calendering, sprinkling gold, printing, ...... on it."

"You can also use micro-carved text on food stamps, which can be anti-counterfeiting, and you can also deliberately carve individual words wrongly, so that counterfeiters are at a loss!"

"Miniature sculpture has the same effect......"

"Feel free to do this, but be quick." Zhu Zhen listened to the craftsmen with relish, and Fang Shensheng ordered: "Within three days, this king will see the sample tickets, and after five days, at least 10,000 tickets will be printed!" ”

"Your Highness, it is difficult to work in such a hurry, I am afraid it is not conducive to anti-counterfeiting." The foreman craftsman is embarrassed.

"Just do your best." Zhu Zhen waved his hand and said: "Anti-counterfeiting is not all counting on you, this king has other means!" ”
