Chapter 577 Selection

Stilwell was also slightly suffocated, "General Zhao, I think it's better for us to discuss each other, after all, everything is based on talking, we still have a common enemy, the Japanese, after all, you shouldn't have much army in your hands, right?" Du Yuming next to him looked at this situation, although he was snickering in his heart, but the round field on the surface was still needed.

"That being said, these things are not up to me, and I hope you will abide by our rules in the short term, although we still have a war to fight, but we also don't want any misunderstanding between us. Zhao Chen said lightly.

The next negotiation is actually nothing to talk about, this is the first contact, so there is actually nothing to talk about between the two sides, because there is no way to negotiate some substantive things, but Zhao Chen gave them an explanation, that is, if they are willing to contact, they can send personnel to a city in the middle of the area controlled by the two sides, where the escort army will establish a place for contact.

After seeing these generals who could only be heard of in history, Zhao Chen did not respond to this matter, but began to expand his power, if there was no system task, it would be forgotten, this world would have ended a long time ago, but now there is a system task, and he doesn't know how to complete the system task.

So no one knows how long they will stay here now, so for the sake of the follow-up steps, some things still have to be started, and maybe some resources can be collected from this world in the future.

After taking full control of his own area, with the beginning of the establishment of satellites in the sky, countless materials began to be transported here from various six-dimensional spaces, and factories began to be built in some of the cities under their control, and at the same time, these factories, especially some factories that could use large human resources, simply began to hire locals.

At the same time, Su Jie has directly started to build a complete paper money financial system here, in fact, the whole is paper money, but at the beginning it must not be able to use paper money to operate, in that case, instinctively these locals will be resisted, because these locals must not believe in paper money now.

So another thing came to Zhao Chen's heart, that is, a series of tickets such as food stamps, cloth stamps, etc., which had played an indelible role in China's development process in reality.

So at the beginning, Zhao Chen simply called these banknotes food stamps, in fact, it was a way to change the concept, first of all, the current local people do not have such a word as currency at all, they are still living in dire straits, and it is normal to not have enough food and clothing.

I can't even eat enough, although the weather and climate here are enough to grow crops, but there is no time for them to plant in this chaos.

So there were a lot of locals who starved to death, and it can be said that these locals in this period were as miserable as the people in China at this moment, so when Zhao Chen's army appeared and defeated the Japanese, and gave them free medical treatment, food and work, the enthusiasm of these locals is unimaginable.

Although they are not Chinese, and even do not understand the language, in fact, some things are the same, at least who is good to them and who is not good to them, they are psychologically clear.

What's more, the soldiers in Zhao Chen's hands respect these locals very much, so although the work is tight and can only be exchanged for food that is useful, but this is enough to make these locals satisfied.

It can be said that at this time, Zhao Chen directly hired these locals to do a lot of work that he could easily do, not only allowing them to join in the task of participating in the construction of their homeland, but also giving them great hope and the meaning of working and living.

In fact, the population of Southeast Asian countries at this time was very small, and the population here has plummeted by nearly half during the years of Japanese rule.

Therefore, the people near these cities do very simple things, build their own houses and infrastructure, and exchange them for food and daily necessities to eat.

And at this time, the role of Zhao Chen's food stamps came out, in fact, this is a barter transaction, and the wages paid to them are not money, because money cannot be trusted by them at this time, so their daily wages are directly distributed to food.

The grain is not directly distributed, the grain is managed in a unified manner, so the foreman who manages their work will issue them food stamps every day, and the relevant exchange quantities are formulated, such as the food stamps marked 10, which can be exchanged for 1 kg of rice.

As long as the relevant quantities are worked out, there will be no mistakes, and they receive food stamps directly at the end of the construction site every day, and then go to the logistics food management center in the city to exchange them for food.

In the beginning, after the local people finished their work every day, they directly received food stamps, and then ran to the city to get their food in order, and took it back to their temporary residence.

Their temporary residence was also a tent that Zhao Chen directly set up at a great price.

However, Zhao Chen took out a lot of grain every day, and they would definitely not be able to eat it in a day, so when these workers found that they took more and more grain back to exchange, but they couldn't eat it all, and they were afraid that the grain would be stolen by someone when they went to work during the day, some workers pondered it and stopped exchanging it on the same day.

After all, this food stamp is actually exactly the same as paper money, and even a little stronger and more sophisticated than modern paper money. It is easier to carry and store.

And now that the Japanese have been beaten away, it is clear that these people will stay here for a long time in a short time.

However, at the beginning, even if these people would not exchange it that day, they would exchange it every few days, and they were still afraid that Zhao Chen would be gone one day, and in this case, the food stamps in their hands would become waste.

However, Zhao Chen quickly came up with a new trick, that is, the city will soon not only provide food, you can exchange food stamps for spices, as well as a large amount of meat, when the meat and seasoning vegetables come out, these locals are crazy, after all, they can't eat these things now, especially spices and meat.

Although there is a lot of wildlife here, the wildlife is not stupid, and it is not endless.

When food stamps began to be exchanged for cloth and other daily necessities, these stamps naturally came into circulation, and the rudiments of money were formed.
