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

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

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

Of the multitude, 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.

"Food stamps are good for us, and there is no reason to refuse." Juniper, a southern salt merchant, smiled respectfully, looking sincere.

In his opinion, this thing solved his problem, and there was no risk to him.

He had asked the railway if he could use grain to settle the settlement, but now he just changed his hand.

Using grain to settle freight with the railway, he believes in his peers, and no one will refuse.

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.

Settling freight with grain is itself the demand of the deep-pocketed salt merchants, and China Heavy Industries meets their needs.

The rest of the group chimed in.

In the same way, they can settle directly with food stamps, or they can exchange it for food, so why not.

"The grain stamps and the mining area, and the settlement with the Honeycomb Coal Chamber of Commerce can be mortgaged first." Zhu Gaochi offers a new approach.

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

This matter is not about Juniper, and he looks on coldly, which just shows the style of the little prince.

"Whether it's 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."

"All of you here are old partners with China Heavy Industries, and you can naturally trust China Heavy Industries, but there must be people who can't believe it, and they are unwilling to put the silver on the cash cabinet first, and then exchange it for food stamps."

Zhu Gaochi explained, "So for those who don't want to exchange silver for food stamps first, China Heavy Industries provides a credit line according to the value of the mine, and can borrow food stamps." ”

As for the physical mortgage, Zhu Gaochi did not elaborate.

With a line of credit loan, Zhu Gaochi is not afraid that businessmen will default on China Heavy Industries.

China Heavy Industries is Party A, a referee, or an executor, for those who maliciously breach the contract, China Heavy Industries is still afraid that it will not be able to recover the mining area.

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

The salt merchants in the south exchanged grain for food stamps, which itself was also a checkout method, which had no risk to the salt merchants in the south, and they did not need to pay first.

But the merchants in Peiping are different from the railways, and Zhu Gaochi does not plan to equate grain stamps with coal at present.

Because the design is complicated, he needs to wait for the rest of the provinces to be opened, when the coal mine becomes the hard currency of the rest of the provinces, and then equate the grain stamps with coal to strengthen the value of the grain stamps.

A food stamp is a piece of paper.

People think it's worth money, it's money, and if they think it's not worth it, it's a piece of waste paper.

The Ming Dynasty relied on the credibility of the imperial court in the early Ming Dynasty, and people trusted the treasure banknote in the early days, so the treasure banknote could be used as money.

However, the political system of the Ming Dynasty was not perfect, and with the decline of the credibility of the treasure banknote, people no longer trusted the treasure banknote, so the treasure money became less and less valuable, and no one even wanted to use it.

The U.S. dollar is worth all over the world because people recognize it.

After World War II, the U.S. strengthened the value of the U.S. dollar by lending large amounts of dollars to provide countries with U.S. dollars to purchase U.S. goods.

When the dollar was tied to oil, and countries could not do without purchasing oil from the Middle East, the dollar became the world currency.

Now Zhu Gaochi is building a relationship of trust between the grain stamps and the merchants.

Therefore, he adopted the most conservative method, which is equivalent to bartering goods, with an additional formality in between.

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

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

When the bulk commodities of the northern parallel provinces are finally settled by grain stamps, they can radiate to all walks of life.

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

The coal-producing areas are one in Shanxi, one in Beiping, and one in the grassland, and as long as these three areas are controlled, it is equivalent to controlling the market pricing power of the national coal industry.

In a word.

Combined with the trade situation in Beiping, the most simple exchange method adopted solved the worries of the merchants, that is, the problem of trust.

On the issue of food stamps, Zhu Gaochi made full preparations, and the people had no problems, and soon reached an agreement to adopt the method of grain stamp settlement in the future.

The cash cabinet is set up in Beiping Mansion, named the Grain Stamp Bank, and temporarily tries to implement 1,000 stone grain stamps, 100 stone grain stamps, and 10 stone grain stamps, corresponding to 500 taels, 50 taels, and 5 taels.

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

A silver warehouse, a granary, was established.

For example, the coke refinery, the revenue and expenditure of 10,000 taels of copper and silver entered the silver warehouse, and the grain stamp bank exchanged 20,000 stone grain stamps.

The last thing to be handed over to the headquarters account office was the surplus food stamps.

At the Beipingfu Station, food stamps worth 100,000 stone were issued in one go, that is, food stamps worth 50,000 taels of silver.

When the grain stamps of 100,000 stone are settled, they will receive 100,000 stone of grain, or the equivalent of silver.

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

China Heavy Industries recruits literate and accountable talents all year round, which has laid the foundation and provided enough talents.

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

There is one director and three deputy directors of the Finance Department, which consists of the Cashier Department, the Audit Department, the Accounting Department, the Induction Department, and the 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 plant and the branch factory was unified.

The Grain Stamp Bank has a president and a vice president, and deepens cooperation with the Department of Finance and Finance of China Heavy Industry Co., Ltd., and cross-supervises and manages each other.

According to this reform, each plant was also optimized.

Coke refinery, iron factory, steam engine factory, Daxing farm tool factory, etc., positioning first-class factory, rail factory, fertilizer factory, glass factory and other factories, positioning second-level factory, local agricultural tool factory, etc., positioning third-level factory.

The level was unified, and eighteen levels were set.

From Zhou Shifeng to the third level, Xu Ning to the fifth level, Wan San to the sixth level, Wang Rending to the eighth level...... to the eighteenth level of the new handyman.

The entire China Heavy Industry has a clear job classification.

There is also a difference in the level of the director of each branch, and it is clear whose level is higher at a glance, which opens up the upward channel.

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

There were 500 members of the factory protection team, recruited military households from the guards, asked for guards from the palace, and gave 500 households.

As a result, Li Biao was also promoted to deputy thousand-household.

Since Li Biao was promoted, Zhu Di also loosened his mouth happily, and Zhu Neng was also promoted from a deputy thousand households to a thousand households.

Just about.

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

"In the past, when the guard station was expanded to the north, it would be difficult for the local government to go up, but I didn't expect the fourth child to take the initiative to ask for it."

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

Jiang Xian didn't say a word.

The saint does not need him to speak.

Zhu Yuanzhang is even older, the gray hair on his head is thick, which has changed a lot compared to two years ago, and his eyes are a lot cloudy.

But the spirit is still so strong, it looks like he is fighting against something.

"Northland has moved to expand its territory over the years, but unfortunately it is trapped in production, which is called productivity." Zhu Yuanzhang thought about it, and his memory became worse and worse.

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

There was some expectation and some doubt in his eyes.

In his life, he has never seen anything, everything in the world is in his mind, but the secrecy of Beiping often causes him to doubt himself.

"This son of the fourth child can really suppress other people's self-confidence, no wonder the fourth child often complains." Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly smiled, "This is not good, where is it like being a father." ”

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

"Tell me, Jinyiwei has a very high status in the palace, after many years, will it have been exposed, the fourth child can be vigilant."

Zhu Yuanzhang hesitated.

Will he take refuge in the fourth? Otherwise, everything he said was about the good of the palace, although he knew that the fourth child had been good since he was a child, Zhu Yuanzhang still couldn't help but doubt it.

The second child has performed well since he was a child, but he was too disappointed in his wife, and he betrayed his trust.

Jiang Xian hesitated, he didn't dare to give an accurate reply, hesitated, and said worriedly: "It shouldn't have been discovered." ”

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

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, not only did he not get angry, but he became happy.

It turned out that he was a little unhappy that his son had found out about him, but he didn't want his son to be stupidly hidden by Jinyiwei.

I'm getting old.

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

Such a big country needs an adult son, Zhu Yunwen is young, and Zhu Yuanzhang is worried that his grandson will not be able to shoulder the heavy responsibility.

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and sent Jiang Xian away.

Soon the will came out again.

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

8,700 households, totaling more than 50,000 people, were supplied by Shandong and Beiping to meet the needs of Jinzhou Wei and Fuzhou Wei Tuntian in the early stage.

Jinzhou Wei and Fuzhou Wei are all fully staffed, and dozens of miles away from Fuzhou, Yongning Supervision City is set up.

Zhu Yuanzhang decided to pardon the criminals of Jinzhou before, but he also saw through the fourth child's plan and would not follow him.

These people are not ordinary people, hundreds of people can lead tens of thousands of troops, 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 force fall into the hands of others.

Not even the fourth.
