Chapter 342 – Sugar Cube Currency

After being in a daze for ten minutes, Liu Jingjing came back to her senses, picked up the walkie-talkie on the table, and called, "Zhou Qingfeng, come to my office, I have something important to ask you."

Not long after, Zhou Qingfeng came in from the outside, looked at Liu Jingjing who was dressed formally behind the desk, and said with a smile: "You look like you are killing me, it feels like you are still working in the company."

"This is necessary. I have already asked my staff to go to the town to find a tailor. From now on, the staff of the 'Finance Department' must wear the uniforms I designed. They must be decent and elegant, and make people's eyes shine." Liu Jingjing insisted on her philosophy. , think that fit dress can strengthen management and improve efficiency.

Zhou Qingfeng just smiled at this, and it wasn't Liu Jingjing's family who made uniforms in the town. Melanie and Sarah had their own plans for this, but the one who went too far was actually Xue Su, "What are you looking for? ?”

"A major financial event!" [

Liu Jingjing handed a financial statement to Zhou Qingfeng, pointing to the above data and explained: "The original permanent population with ID cards in the town has reached 2000 people, and the temporary population who have transformed from rescuing slaves and taking in refugees It has also reached 1000, and there are more than 5000 slaves. In this way, our stable population is about [-].

In addition, we also have a large number of floating population in and out, roughly estimated to be more than 500, and most of these people are engaged in labor and trade activities.Of course, there are all kinds of goofy guys mixed in.

According to today's information briefing, the armed police have arrested more than 100 people, the court set up by Melanie has been trying non-stop from morning to night, and Xue Su has submitted a report, requesting immediate approval of the budget for the expansion of prisons and slave camps.

Moreover, the construction of our new township is almost complete, and the reconstruction and fortification of the old core area will also begin immediately.In this way, the entire Ede Town will be able to accommodate 1 people for living, production and trade. According to the information we have, this will be the largest town in the northwest region, and it can even be called Ede City.

Do you know what that means? "

Liu Jingjing stared at Zhou Qingfeng, but Zhou Qingfeng shrugged and said blankly, "It's not a bad thing."

Liu Jingjing smiled wryly, pulled her long hair back, shook her head and said, "Didn't your new secretary show you the latest information bulletin?"

Zhou Qingfeng moved a chair and sat in front of Liu Jingjing's desk. He spread his hands and said, "I've been busy setting up communication base stations these days. Except for Xue Qian who can help me, everyone else can only watch. And I There are also a bunch of miscellaneous things, such as running out to kill people yesterday. I really didn't pay attention to the briefing."

Liu Jingjing looked defeated, and simply threw a few specially selected documents from her drawer in front of Zhou Qingfeng, and said, "You can take a look, let me just say it, we are expanding too fast, caused a series of problems.

Xue Su said in the briefing that the formation of the first company of the armed police and the first company of the army in Ed Town has been completed, and the training has been carried out very well.However, considering the increase in the area and population of the township in the future, such a small number of people is not enough, and it is required to immediately allocate funds to establish two companies.

We can bring many of these materials from the main time and space, but personnel recruitment and barracks construction must be solved locally.

Milani issued a notice, asking Mei Xiang to closely monitor the flow of people around Ed Town to prevent the invasion and sneak attack of hostile forces.Because we have caught a lot of people who came to ask for news, the prison is full of people.

Melanie has even executed more than a dozen slaves who committed more serious crimes, and at the same time pardoned a large number of slaves who committed lesser crimes, in order to make room for prisons and slave camps.

Sarah also rushed to us, saying that the business in the town is in a big trouble. We need more and more goods, such as food, cloth, non-staple food, fuel, building materials, etc. The prices of materials on the market are getting higher and higher. The higher, but the surrounding population that can consume our goods has not increased.Inflation is taking the life out of business.

The only good news is that despite the many problems we face and the chaos in the town, it is also very vibrant.

Melanie and Suzanne are running a 50-person training class to make do-able administrators.

Sarah was already trying to find a way to barter.

Xue Su is building her unarmed soldier company without any funding, a super large establishment of more than five hundred.

In fact, all the above problems involve the word 'money'. "[

After listening to this long speech, Zhou Qingfeng felt that things were really troublesome. He asked, "Are we short of money?"

"To be precise, there is a lack of 'currency' in the market. We don't even have enough bottle caps now, but inflation is happening again, which makes us even more short of 'currency'. Our only solution now is to abandon the inferior quality of bottle caps. currency, choose another currency.”

Zhou Qingfeng immediately continued: "Do you want to issue banknotes?"

Liu Jingjing had a defeated expression on her face, "You should go and play with your guns, Niuqin is really right to tell you this. I wanted to explain it carefully, but let's just say it now, we need to issue a physical product Currency, replace the bottle caps on the market, and return two currencies of gold and silver."

"Use food as currency?" Zhou Qingfeng had heard of the concept of "real currency", but Ed Town was actually short of food, and it was not cost-effective to transport food by air from the main time. Headache.

"No, use white sugar. To be precise, it's precisely packaged sugar cubes." Liu Jingjing was clearly prepared. She handed Zhou Qingfeng a report she was writing, and at the same time handed him a piece of sugar cube wrapped in paper. , is the kind that is usually thrown away when drinking coffee.

Zhou Qingfeng looked at the report, weighed the sugar cube again, and said, "This thing is very inconvenient to use, at least it's easy to rot, and it's not easy to transport."

"At least it's better than bottle caps. Bottle caps are actually worthless, and the sugar itself is edible, and it's high in calories and has nutritional value. More importantly, I didn't find out at all, who in the wasteland is massaging For the production of white sugar, we can use a very profitable exchange ratio to link the value of sugar cubes to gold and silver currencies.

For example: every 20 yuan sugar cube is exchanged for one silver coin, and every ten silver coins is exchanged for one gold coin.

I have asked Sarah to sell [-] kilograms of white sugar at this price, but it was sold out in one morning.

As for the rotten paper packaging you mentioned, we can provide residents with plastic bags, and the next time we return to the main time and space, we can order sugar cubes wrapped in plastic paper, which is not difficult.

Do you know what is the benefit of us doing this?

We only need to use cheap sugar cubes as currency to pay salaries to soldiers and workers, and we can arbitrarily buy materials in the market, which is no different from stealing money.

Do you know why opening a bank generally makes money?Because the banknotes they print are essentially worthless, and they are used as currency.

How about it?Do you think my plan is feasible? "

When Liu Jingjing talked about her currency reform plan, her eyes lit up, her head held high, her frail body like a little she-wolf.

Zhou Qingfeng thought for a while, and sneaked a few glances at Liu Jingjing's towering chest, thinking that it was worth a try, "Didn't you say that bad money chases good money? If people really accept this kind of currency, they can't hide it What should I do if I enter the circulation field again?”

"You're an idiot. It's better if you don't enter. We can issue more sugar cube currency. Who can have more cheap sugar cubes than us? We brought five tons this time alone, accounting for the size of a semi-truck."

"Okay, I think we can try it. You can convince Milani and Sarah." Zhou Qingfeng finally nodded in agreement with Liu Jingjing's currency reform plan.

That night, Melanie and Sarah were moved by Liu Jingjing's wonderful prospect, and used a ton of sugar cubes in stock to carry out the pilot project as the material basis for the currency reform.

In the next week, Sarah used this ton of paper-packed square hard candies to pay for the purchase of various goods and labor expenses. Since the white sugar itself has its own value, it was quickly defeated. Bottle caps of any use have become the new currency of circulation.

The townspeople in Ed Town accepted it first. After all, in the wasteland, white sugar can be said to be a luxury ingredient. It is difficult for people to obtain sweet food in their lives. Its popularity is far from It was beyond the imagination of Zhou Qingfeng and others. [

Afterwards, the residents of other surrounding towns also recognized this new type of currency. Sarah used the trade method to put all the five tons of sugar cubes in stock into circulation in just half a month. The development of the town raised a lot of supplies.

But even so, the supply of cube sugar currency was still in short supply one month later, and the market showed abnormal hunger for cube sugar.

In order to ensure the success of this restructuring and prevent the phenomenon of "bad money chasing good money" from undermining the currency reform, Liu Jingjing finally had to beg Zhou Qingfeng to open the temporary time and space door, and let Zhou Qingfeng, Catherine, Jill, Melanie, Sarah, Mei Xiang, Xue Su and others made a personal trip to buy more than 200 tons of sugar cubes from the Tianchao market in the main time and space, and rushed them back to the wasteland to ensure the smooth completion of the entire restructuring.

The reform of the sugar cube currency this time was extremely successful. At the beginning, it was just to allow the Armed Maidens to spend money without worrying about it.In the next few years, when thousands of tons of sugar cubes were invested in the entire Northwest region, the local economy was hijacked by the Armed Maidens, which brought huge economic and political benefits to the Armed Maidens.

Of course, with the growing power of the Armed Decoration Ladies Association, it also more and more affects the interests of other organizations, and the sugar cube currency has finally become the source of a series of contradictions.
