Chapter 882 Yang Mou (I)

This kind of disguised meal stamps or food stamps are not indiscriminate, but carefully printed, the printing tools are the paper and pulp donated by Liu Fei, using modern printing technology, this thing, you want to forge, in this era can not be forged, to say a little exaggerated, now the anti-counterfeiting label of this food stamp is even more awesome than the current anti-counterfeiting label of the US dollar and the pound. These printed food stamps are distributed before each meal, and as long as you are working, you will come and receive them.

Anyway, every job is divided according to the squad, the brigade, whether there are many people in these teams, it is easy to find out, besides, no one checks this at all, more than one or two people, you can receive it, and it doesn't even matter how big or small you are, some stray children without parents, even if you just move some small stones and help push the cart, as long as you come to receive it, it will be given to you!

Speaking of which, I believe many people already know roughly, that's right, the T2500 type is so engaged, in fact, to put it bluntly, it is to promote the issuance of currency in disguise! Because you pay them a salary, which is not bad with the publicity at the beginning, and it is true that you can't afford to pay wages now, I'm just to make sure you are fed, okay? But I just don't give you food directly, I just send you food stamps, and you get the food yourself.

A corner of a steamed bun, a big bowl of vegetables in the triangle, the price is absolutely unified, but after sending all this money, whether you buy a few steamed buns, then no one cares about you. When the T2500 first proposed this plan, the chairman and Premier Zhou were still a little confused, and they didn't know what they were doing at all. Later, when the T2500 explained this thing clearly, the chairman and the prime minister suddenly understood.

When the explanation was understood, the chairman and they looked at these experts who specialized in economics, and they had to admire! Because the domestic monetary system is very chaotic now, the fiat currency issued by the national government, as well as the money of various governments, as well as the silver dollar issued by Yuan Shikai, Dayang, Yingyang, etc., are now in circulation, and the diversity of these currencies is very chaotic for a region. And it's also a very easy cause of economic collapse.

And this method is actually to put it bluntly, it is issuing currency in disguise, but the issuance is not visible to anyone, because when it was promoted, it was said that this thing is a food stamp, as for why you say that it is the same unit as currency, this is just for you to understand. Anyway, you know that this thing is a food stamp, and it can be used to exchange it for food, and this is issued on all construction sites.

As long as you work for the government for free, you will be given this, and then you will go to the workers' canteens in various places to eat, and the price will be the same. And the ones I sent you, they are all the same, but how much you buy, it's up to you, for example, some people definitely can't eat three big steamed buns in one meal, to be honest, the big steamed buns the size of a sea bowl, even if it's a half-size, it's estimated that you'll be full, unless you're really at the level of a rice bucket.

Don't forget that there is also a big bowl of vegetables, so this thing is a lot of distribution, and at the beginning, these workers all bought food directly after getting food stamps, because they were afraid that they would not be able to buy it. Later they found out that the stamps all looked the same, and you could take them for food at any time, oh, at the point of eating. And it's not just in this one place, you work outside the city, you get food stamps, you can eat in the workers' canteen in the city.

When these people find out about this, everyone will not exchange all the food stamps for meals, but for what they can eat, and let their families eat the rest, anyway, the other party doesn't care who you are, just recognize the food stamps. Later, these people suddenly discovered that the white flour, cornmeal, or rice and sorghum sold in the grain stores run by the government in the city could also be exchanged for the same amount of grain directly with grain stamps, so many people really came directly to exchange for grain.

Then, people found out, for example, that the fertilizer sold by the government is a good thing to increase food income, and if you want to buy this, the government can directly exchange it for grain for the convenience of farmers, and of course, you can also exchange it for the same amount of food stamps. Because there are only a few places where you sell fertilizer, but if you exchange your grain for food stamps, you can go to the local government-run grain collection places to exchange for food stamps.

In this way, there is no doubt that it is much more convenient to buy fertilizer! In addition to handing over the part of the contract you signed with the government, if you have a surplus, you can exchange the grain for other things with the government, such as the meat sold in the government butcher shop, which can be exchanged for grain, and the clothes in the clothing store can also be exchanged for grain, of course, the silver dollar is also possible, but after the silver dollar is recovered, the government will not let it circulate to the market.

So the silver dollar must be less and less, but in exchange for grain, the volume of grain is too large, at this time, everyone is not stupid, because in these meat, grain stores, clothing stores, as long as it is a government-run store, you can use food stamps to exchange, because these food stamps represent the same amount of grain, you can go to the grain station at any time to exchange for enough food. So everyone is not worried, many people naturally buy meat, clothes, and fertilizers with food stamps.

At first, it was only the government-run shops that collected food stamps, but later some small traders who were run by individuals also began to collect food stamps in small restaurants. These small traders also need to eat and drink? And they also have to buy grain to operate, buy grain and ask for food stamps, what if they don't have food stamps? Then I can't sell food and collect food stamps? Isn't this a food stamp? Then the government started to sell matches, basins, farm tools, etc., and in the same way, because everyone used to be poor, and there were no silver dollars, so the government supported you to exchange food for food.

But the grain exchange thing is heavy, so go directly to the grain station purchased by the government at your doorstep to exchange it for food stamps, and then use the food stamps to exchange it, isn't it much lighter!

To put it bluntly, in fact, the T2500 model is nothing more than a disguised money, although the name is food stamps, but this thing is actually the function of the currency, but unlike the currency implemented by various governments, you are the gold standard, the silver standard, and I am the food standard. My food stamps are the same as food! And in the next 10 years, the price of food will definitely not fall, and the price of food will not fall, so the government does not have to worry about losing money.

And don't forget, the government alone consumes a lot of food now, and the army, and these people who come to eat enough, the food consumed is a big number. So there is no need to worry about the collapse of this system, at least until the end of World War II, this system will definitely not collapse. Many people will say, isn't this just taking off your pants and farting, and it takes an extra procedure? What's the difference between this and currency, you just issue currency directly, it's still the same reason.

No, this procedure is really necessary, because the peasants of this period can't understand so much, they don't have any problems, they don't understand things that are too complicated, they understand things very simply, oh, this thing is a grain stamp, this thing is equal to food, and the government does not force you to exchange grain for food stamps, it is you who exchange it for food stamps for convenience, they don't think this is currency, you don't think this is self-deception, because people in this era, many times just can't blame this bend, This procedure is indispensable.

And the most direct way to lay out through food stamps is that it is spread very quickly, very quickly! The food stamps can be said to be directly distributed to the hands of every peasant, and when these most basic stores and so on begin to recognize the food stamps, ordinary people will naturally use them. And food stamps, which can be said to be the popularization of money, have been spread out so easily, but one of the problems brought about by this is that in a short period of time, the price of grain is equivalent to being fixed, and there is no fluctuation.

Of course, the reason why I dared to do this is because this is the war years, and the most scarce thing during the war years is nothing more than weapons and food, so there is no need to worry about the price of food falling at all. Of course, when the price of food in the outside world rises, this problem will come, and some people will start to fight the idea of the Eighth Route Army's territory.

At first, the chairman and Premier Zhou didn't see this matter, but when the food stamp system was operated for a period of time, Premier Zhou pondered about this matter, and specially asked the chairman to consult the special staff officer in charge of this matter, which is the T2500 intelligent robot.

"Mr. Liu, you say, what if someone from the outside world sees the profits of this intermediate grain and buys grain in large quantities with us? This will also cause us to fluctuate greatly, whether we should refuse these grain merchants. The chairman said with some uncertainty that because the economy within the border government is developing rapidly, the chairman and they can feel it, so the chairman and Premier Zhou cherish the current situation, and they don't want any problems to arise from this.

"Actually, Mr. President, Mr. Zhou, this is a good thing." The T2500 middle-aged man named Liu Peng said with a smile.

"Please also ask Mr. Liu for advice." The chairman and Premier Zhou glanced at each other and said very simply, because the two of them thought differently.

"Quite simply, if someone wants to do this, then instead of saying no to them, the more people there are, the better." Liu Peng said with a strange face, "It's very simple, since these people buy in large quantities, but we only accept two things in our discussion, first, food stamps!" The second is hard currency, silver dollars, silver, or gold. In addition to these two kinds of money, then these merchants want to do this business only one choice, first, buy with silver dollars, silver, gold, but these hard currencies will not be consumed in our hands, all of them are stored, because in our base areas there is no need for these things to circulate, we have food stamps to circulate. ”
