Not only those who buy things need to exchange various tickets, but also the vendors who sell things need to exchange the tickets they earn into food and deposit them in their bankbooks after a busy day.

To be honest, it's just a little better than bartering, and the strength is very limited. You don't have to carry heavy grains on your back, and you don't have to worry about the quality of the grains, that's all.

In order to attract people to save grain, Zhang Ximeng even proposed the concept of earning interest on grain storage. For example, if one hundred kilograms of grain is deposited, one hundred and ten kilograms will be included in the bankbook.

Zhang Ximeng also wanted to get it right in one step and come up with banknotes that everyone could accept...but conditions did not allow it. Yuan Ting's excessive issuance of treasure banknotes and banknote changes had made banknotes notorious. The confidence of the people was gone.

Now Lao Zhu doesn't have that much gold, silver, and copper on his hands, so he can't issue metal currency.

But we still want to mobilize the enthusiasm of the people, concentrate financial and material resources, and develop production. Is there any other way besides adopting a grain-based approach?

This method can only be an excessive method. Use it for one or two years, or three to five years, and then discard it when the situation gets better.

Zhang Ximeng thought about it over and over and finally made up his mind to go find Lao Zhu.

Unfortunately, Zhu Yuanzhang was not there.

Guo Ying told Zhang Xi that it was Mr. Li and Mr. Yang who invited the superiors to pray for rain!

Pray for rain!

Only then did Zhang Ximeng realize that he had forgotten that after the summer harvest, it seemed that there was not much rain in Chuzhou, which indeed affected the sowing... But does praying for rain work?

Don't let it be Li Shanchang and Yang Yuangao who confuse Lao Zhu, right?

Zhang Ximeng went to the Dragon Temple in Fengshan, southwest of Chuzhou, with a strategy in mind.

When Zhang Ximeng arrived, Zhu Yuanzhang happened to be thinking something.

"If the drought is like this, we will pray for rain for the people. The Dragon God relies on the people here for worship, how can we not care about the people? Within three days, the sky will rain. If there is no rain... I will not destroy this ancestral hall and smash the golden body!"

After Lao Zhu finished speaking, he took off the big bow from his back and shot three arrows at the Dragon God!

Whoosh whoosh!

After shooting, he came out proudly, frightening both Li Shanchang and Yang Yuangao... What kind of rain prayer was this? It was clearly meant to intimidate the Dragon God!

Zhang Ximeng was stunned when he saw all this.

Lao Zhu, I really belong to you!

Zhang Ximeng raised his head and looked at Si Yu Dragon God in his seat. He hoped that there would be some backbone and it would stop raining within three days. What kind of dragon god would he be if he bowed his head after being coerced by a mortal?
