This "one-pound food stamp" is a new version from the first year of Jingyan. Compared with the old version from the second year of Yuankang, the size is the same, four inches (13.2 cm) long and two inches (6.6 cm) wide.

The difference is that in addition to being more exquisite and the paper has better toughness, it is no longer single-sided printing, and there is also a pattern printed on the back. The back of the "one pound" food stamp has Mount Tai in the middle, and the surroundings are basically the same as the front, with wheat ears. There is the word "一pound" in the four corners.On the bottom edge of the front is written a line "the first year of Jingyan". The pattern of flying birds has not changed, and there are four more words "husked wheat grains" under the big characters "one catty" in the middle.

In addition to one-pound food stamps, there are five kinds of noodles worth food stamps, namely 'Wujin', 'Shijin', 'Two Shijin', 'Five Shijin' and 'One Hundred Jin'.

The food stamps of these six denominations are basically the same except for the patterns on the back and the face value numbers. However, the food stamps with higher denominations are larger in size.

This counter was opened because Liu Xinqi planned to comprehensively promote food stamps. At present, the food stamps of Xinghan League are very exquisite. After the general card attached to Liu Zhimu was upgraded to three stars, and with the magnifying glass made by Liu Xinshi, the food stamp patterns have become very beautiful. It's complicated, and some secret symbols can no longer be seen clearly by ordinary people with the naked eye. With the technology of this era, it is basically impossible for outsiders to imitate it.

Later, Xinghan League will open a department store, and everything in it can be purchased with food stamps.Through this subtle method, the position of silver and money in people's daily transactions was gradually replaced.

After the Han League took over the power to print money, even if it was grain-based food stamps, they could charge a certain amount of "seigniorage" in a different direction.

.....
When the entire Penglai County was in an uproar over the "Xinghan League Grain Storage Law", Liu Xinqi was attending a collective funeral at Baishiwan Hongshi Mountain.

After several collective funerals, the funeral process of the Xinghan League has basically been established. This funeral was organized and hosted by Zhou Xinyuan of the Li Si. After the funeral, there were sacrifices to the heroes who died in the previous battles.

Liu Xinqi took the lead in offering incense and after delivering his speech, there was nothing more to do with him.

After the funeral, Liu Xinqi came to Baishiwan to check.

Liujiabao in Baishiwan is no longer very important in the Xinghan League. The development of the Xinghan League has greatly exceeded Liu Xinqi's previous expectations.

However, Liu Xinqi did not stop the construction of Baishiwan. After all, the original Liujiapu tribe and the laborers later recruited outside Laizhou City still had no fixed residence.

Moreover, infrastructure construction drives the economy and domestic demand, which is the mature experience of later republics.

The construction of the new Liujiabao is faster than Liu Xinqi had previously expected, due to the addition of cement and the rapid increase in productivity of the brick kiln factory in charge of Liu Xinshi. Now eight of the twelve residential quarters have been built, and these completed houses are basically There are already people living in it, and now the Baishiwan Liujiabao is very lively.

In addition to the eight houses that are already occupied by people, a small part of the East Market has also been opened, where daily necessities, grain and oil, agricultural tools, etc., and even livestock are already for sale.

Liu Xinqi looked around at several small residential courtyards. The people who lived in the houses cherished the new courtyards and kept them very clean. Some of them even planted vegetables, flowers, etc. in the courtyards, which looked very lifelike.

When I came to Dongshi, this market has fully used food stamps, because the craftsmen working in Baishiwan have also begun to use food stamps to pay their monthly wages, so those who need it will exchange it for real items to take home.

In addition to the shops selling things in Fangshi, there were also several people singing Bangzi Opera on the stage. Liu Xinqi didn't know much about opera and couldn't tell whether it was Shandong Bangzi or another Bangzi Opera. He couldn't even hear the lyrics shouted by the opera singers. Understand.

However, the dozens of old people under the stage listened with great interest, and a large group of children were playing and playing in the square in front of the stage.

"Aren't these children going to school?" Liu Xinqi asked his assistant Jiao Rui.

This Jiao Rui was a former official in Dengzhou Prefecture. His writing style was very good and his calligraphy was very good. His small regular script was the same as that of later generations.Moreover, this person had study tour experience in various parts of the country during his studies. Not only did he have some understanding of the customs and habits of various places, but he could also understand various dialects, and he could also speak some.

"Leader, today is a holiday." Jiao Rui replied.

Liujiabao's family studies have a ten-day break, that is, they go to school for nine days and have a day off.Three days off a month. "I've been living such a stupid life these days." Liu Xinqi said with shame.

“Is there a big shortage of teachers now?”

Although Jiao Rui is not a staff member of the Academic Department, because he works as a literary assistant to the leader of the Xinghan League, he still understands the basic working conditions of each department.

"The gap is huge. We can barely maintain enough for the schools in Liu Family Fort and Liu Family Courtyard, and the Liu Family Warehouse is not even enough."

Liu Xinqi heard this dilemma and arranged for him:
"I will tell Luo Cheng later that we will increase the investment of the university to recruit students from the market and train them as teachers. We will first meet the basic needs. When the construction of Baishiwan is completed, we will build the ten and eleven previously planned buildings into schools. Establish martial arts halls, university halls and normal schools, and then we can train officers, officials and teachers in batches."

"Okay. But I still need your guidance on the specific details." Jiao Rui is not from a later generation, and the specific teaching focus of the school cannot be guessed from the name of the school alone.

"First let him revise the construction plan of the [-]th and [-]th squares, build them into a school, find someone to take charge of the construction work, and let the person in charge ask me." Liu Xinqi replied: "As for the school's teaching focus and teaching materials, I will discuss it with the school secretary Director Zhou Yue will discuss and determine the details."

……

On July [-]th, the summer grain collection was completed.

In the past thirteen days, the stupid ones have already jumped out of their shells, and the smart ones will not reveal their secrets easily until the situation changes.

After cleaning up and punishing nearly thirty landlords and grain dealers, the turmoil caused by the "Xinghan League Grain Storage Law" finally subsided.

In these thirteen days, in addition to collecting 25 shi of summer tax grain, the Xinghan League also purchased nearly 60 shi of grain.

This number greatly exceeded the expectations of all the officials of the Xinghan League, including Liu Xinqi, who did not expect to purchase so much grain.

It seems that the purchase price of three cents per pound of grain is very kind and very popular with the people.

What was even more surprising to Liu Xinqi was that a quarter of the 60 kilograms of grain was purchased using food stamps, and fifteen million kilograms of food stamps were used.

The remaining 45 shi of grain cost the Xinghan League more than 10 taels of silver, which instantly consumed half of the Xinghan League's financial savings.

Liu Xinqi was really pleased to be able to purchase so much grain this time, and a quarter of it was paid with credit currency.

This shows that the people have seen the intentions of the policies of the Xinghan League and are willing to believe in the Xinghan League.

Belief is the heart of the people.

The 60 dan of grain is the fruit of all previous good governance.
