Chapter 37 The Perseverance
"I understand, it is a banknote that changes direction. It is only a banknote that is only oriented to the clan members and can only be used within the clan." Zhou Xinyuan said thoughtfully: "Then how can you guarantee that this 'food stamp' will not have any silver coins?" Problems that tickets have to face. For example: excessive issuance leading to runs, counterfeiting, anti-counterfeiting and preservation, etc.”

Liu Xinqi replied: "As for the issue of indiscriminate issuance and bank runs, we were small in the early days, so we issued food stamps based entirely on the value of the clan property. We issued as many food stamps as there were clan properties, so that the value of the food stamps could be guaranteed."

"As for the issue of counterfeiting and anti-counterfeiting, we can start from the paper color and papermaking materials. The paper color is in charge of Liu Zhimu. After a month of adapting to the fairy method, his skills have been greatly improved. We can make a super complex, detailed and multi-faceted paper. Use a composite pattern written secretly to make food stamps. It is best that this pattern cannot be drawn by ordinary people. You can engrave the pattern on copper, iron or horns and print the food stamps directly, which is not only anti-counterfeiting but also fast."

"As papermaking materials, you can buy the best paper on the market in the early stage. Later, we can also develop our own unique paper, such as adding straw, mulberry bark or even silk to the papermaking materials. Gradually, we will make the paper durable and durable. It is unique, so the problem of preservation will be easily solved.”

"Then are these 'food stamps' issued directly? How do we get food stamps into the hands of the clan members?" Liu Lisheng asked.

"Those who have perseverance have perseverance. As soon as this food stamp is produced, I will distribute it to everyone immediately. First, some will be given to each person according to their head count, and then some will be given to the remaining family members of the young men and tribesmen who died in Liujiapu. Pension. If there are no descendants left, adopt one of the orphans that were taken in before. You can also adopt or buy some orphans on the market. This specific distribution amount must be calculated, and it is best to account for one-third of the family property. Just one.”

"Then I plan to give monthly salary to all the Liujiabao people. As long as they are adults and work, they will be paid more or less according to the division of labor. Those who are underage will also be given a little for living expenses. The amount of this part of the monthly salary will also be based on the current status of the family property. and calculation of the increase, and will be distributed on the premise of ensuring the development of Liujiapu and the basic survival needs of the tribesmen."

"In this way, everyone will have food stamps in their hands, and the clan's materials and personnel will be mobilized." Liu Xinqi concluded.

"This is a good idea, very comprehensive, and I support it. However, the details behind it must be handled well, and we don't dare to cause a big mess. If there is a mess in the implementation of this food stamp system, people's hearts will be greatly hurt." Liu Lisheng said .

"Do you have anything else to ask? Let's brainstorm and improve the food stamp system." Liu Xinqi said.

"What if the tribe members want to buy something that is not available in the tribe and people outside do not recognize the food stamps?" Liu Lizhen asked.

"You can add a certain percentage of cash to your monthly salary, or you can limit each person to a certain period of time in the clan treasury, and you can use a limited amount of food stamps to exchange for cash, so that the clan members have cash in their hands and can use it outside. Shopping." Liu Xinqi replied.

Later, everyone put forward the problems they could think of. Some of them were solved on the spot, and some of them could not be solved. They could only wait and find ways to solve them later.

……

The discussion lasted until the end of the afternoon (15:[-]), and only some of the things to be faced at the current stage were arranged.

After the discussion, Liu Xinqi left Liu Xinbao alone.

"I plan to find a piece of unowned land near the seaside, ask the government to buy it, and rebuild Liujiabao. I don't need this land to grow crops, but this land needs to be convenient for building a dock, and there must be tidal flats for building salt drying fields, and There has been no history of being seriously submerged by sea water before. In the past few days, take your team and search the east and west sides of Penglai City. Ask more questions and observe more. If you are not sure, find a few more backup places. I will make sure then."

"The salt farm is exclusively owned by the imperial court, can we build it?" Liu Xinbao asked.

"The imperial court is a monopoly, and the imperial court must first exist. Now that the imperial court has moved south, we still don't know whether this Jingdong East Road will belong to Zhao or Jin. In these troubled times, only those with big fists can decide. We can start with small-scale construction , guarantee it for own use, and then slowly sell it to outsiders according to the situation." Liu Xinqi replied: "I plan to buy a boat for fishing later, and I need a lot of salt to make salted fish. If I rely entirely on buying, I don't have to do this business, and it will be all for others. We have made a wedding dress, so this salt farm must be built. This is related to the future source of income for the clan, so you must be serious about it."

"I will search carefully." Liu Xinbao replied.

After explaining Liu Xinbao, Liu Xinqi went to find Liu Zhimu again.When I found Liu Zhimu, Liu Zhimu was making tables and chairs for the clan study that was about to start in the courtyard. A dozen craftsmen were working on it, and Liu Lisheng was also beside him.

"Is there enough wood?"

"It's not enough. I bought some from the world. It's enough to make tables and chairs, but it's still far from enough to make furniture for various companies later." Liu Lisheng replied.

"Before the food stamps come out, don't make furniture. Wait until the food stamps come out and distribute them, and then make them, and let the clansmen use the food stamps to exchange them. Otherwise, the furniture produced will not be properly distributed, which will easily cause conflicts. Don't worry about scarcity but unevenness. , In the future, this kind of free distribution will not be done if there are sufficient supplies, so we should do it as little as possible." Liu Xinqi said.

"You're right, let's slow down the furniture first. What's the matter with you coming here?" Liu Lisheng agreed.

"I talked about the heated kang before. The temperature is dropping very fast day by day. I want to make this as soon as possible. How long do you need this table and chairs?" Liu Xinqi asked.

"Don't worry about tables and chairs. You can study while sitting on the floor. You can take as many people as you need." Liu Lisheng replied.

"Okay. Uncle Zhimu, bring all the masons and follow me." Seeing Liu Lisheng's agreement, Liu Xinqi said to Liu Zhimu.

After finding an open space, Liu Xinqi first said to Liu Zhimu: "To make tables, chairs, furniture, and the heated kang that I will arrange for you, after you learn how to make it, you have to teach it to the craftsmen below. If there are not enough craftsmen in the clan, just go and make it." You can't waste money on these repetitive tasks outside. I have given you a magic spell, and you must make fuller and more meaningful use of it."

"I understand, I will make arrangements when we get down." Liu Zhimu replied.

"That's good. After this heated kang is made, the most important thing for you is to quickly make the money board for the food stamps, and then research on making better papermaking." Liu Xinqi arranged.

"I don't know how to do this, and making banknote boards requires painting, and I'm not good at painting." Liu Zhimu seemed unsure when he spoke.

"You can learn if you don't know how to draw. If you are not good at drawing, find a good one. Ask Teacher Zhou or hire someone from outside. If you need anything, just tell me or Third Master. This matter is very important, and the clan will cooperate with you vigorously." Liu Xinqi said: "Don't think too much, just do things with your heart. 'Nothing is difficult in the world, only those who are willing to do it'. As long as you want to do it, all problems can be solved."

Liu Xinqi's chicken soup for the soul from later generations is still very powerful in this era, and Liu Zhimu's expression of being stimulated is unusually firm.

"Patriarch, I will definitely do a good job and live up to your expectations of me and your immortal law." Liu Zhimu said.

"Okay, now let me tell you how to make this heated ondol."

Then Liu Xinqi told Liu Zhimu about the principle of Ondol heating.
