"That's right, Minister Zhou also said before, we set too little rent for the aliens and mutants, but this price really can't be easily changed, or it shouldn't be changed in a short time. However, we can increase the income of the crystal nucleus for the base army through the control of prices, and further develop and expand our ability army and mutant army. ”

"You mean to use crystal nuclei instead of paper money circulation?" Xiao Weiyi instantly understood what Zheng Jin meant.

"The chief is really smart, and you already know what your subordinates are going to say before they say it."

"Alright, don't fix all this nonsense." Xiao Weiyi interrupted impatiently. "But...... If the crystal nucleus is used as currency, I am afraid that only those who are capable and mutant can take it out, so wouldn't it put those ordinary people in a predicament? ”

Wang Shi sighed helplessly in his heart, Xiao Weiyi is really old, and he can't see that this world can no longer maintain any fairness and harmony.

Zheng Jin was not as helpless as Wang Shi about Xiao Weiyi, and still maintained a flattering smile and explained: "The chief doesn't have to worry about this, his subordinates sometimes go to the commercial street to have a look and ask about the current price situation." Presumably, the chief also knows that those merchants have raised the items that used to be seen everywhere but are indispensable in daily life dozens of times, and the price of food has been inflated, these are the inevitable state of food shortage, not to mention ordinary people, even the supernatural and mutants can't afford it, because everyone doesn't have so much money.

And now the money is becoming more and more useless, causing prices to continue to rise. Prices are high, the buyers have no money, the goods cannot be sold, and the sellers cannot make money, but the result is not to reduce the prices, but on the contrary, there is the phenomenon of bartering in ancient times. People began to give out things that they were useless to others in exchange for what they needed, such as food. And the coin now serves only as a comparative role. Let's say, "Zheng Jin picked up the ballpoint pen he used to take notes, and the mineral water he kept at hand. Compared. According to the subordinates, such a pen is now 20 yuan a piece, and the original mineral water with the same price as this pen is already 50 yuan a bottle, so if the merchant who sells mineral water agrees. This bottle of water can be exchanged for two pens plus something that is now worth 10 yuan.

But often the person who sells mineral water may have a lot of pens and do not agree to change them, so even if the person takes out three pens, the other party may refuse to trade. And the seller who needs the pen does not have mineral water, then the person who wants to exchange the mineral water must first exchange the seller who needs to compare but does not have the mineral water to the thing that the seller who sells the mineral water needs, and then come to exchange the mineral water with the seller. As a result, it becomes very cumbersome to trade your own things for goods. And we can solve this problem by pushing the crystal nucleus as a currency circulation, making transactions simple. Of course, bartering can still be retained, and even if ordinary people can't get the crystal nucleus, they can continue to barter to obtain items. ”

Xiao Weiyi nodded, glanced at everyone present, and asked, "What do you think?" ”

"My subordinates very much agree with Minister Zheng's proposal." Zhou Guoxing was the first to speak out, he didn't expect that Zheng Jin, who looked a little out of tune all day, would actually go down to the crowd to investigate the market.

"My subordinates also think it's good to do this." Wang Shi also strongly agreed, you must know that the grain in the hands of those traders is basically provided by the base government, and the government must also operate these stocks of grain while distributing relief grain, otherwise such a large base cannot be supported by the army alone. Moreover, as the head of the war department, the first thing he thought of was how to improve the strength of his army. The first to benefit from the crystal nucleus that the merchants exchanged for grain was the soldiers in the army, and of course he agreed.

Several other ministers also nodded their heads and said they had no objections.

"Okay, then this matter will be handed over to Lao Zheng and Lao Zhou, remember that you will tell me after you discuss the quantity of crystal verification and exchange."

"Rest assured, chief." Zheng Jin and Zhou Guoxing responded in unison.

Dangdangdang –

There was a knock on the door of the conference room, followed by an energetic voice: "Report! ”

"Come in."

A tall young man pushed the door and walked in, and gave Xiao Weiyi an extremely standard military salute, and his movements were crisp and neat.

"Report chief, it's time for lunch break. Heads and Ministers are requested to take a break. ”

"Hehe, little Fan'er, didn't you see that we were having a meeting?" Xiao Weiyi liked Secretary Fan, who was by his side at this moment, and unconsciously revealed the tone of facing his grandson. Although he has no grandson to hold, he only has a son who does not see his face all day long.

"The subordinates know, but one of the duties of the subordinates is to remind the chief to take a break." Secretary Fan replied neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"Chief, let's stop here today, there is still a lot of content to discuss, and I won't be able to make a decision for a while." Li Peng expressed everyone's thoughts.

"Okay. I have made a lot of decisions today, and then I have to trouble all my old friends to work hard and make these decisions well. ”

The move to replace traditional paper money with crystal nuclei as the currency for people to trade has been going very well, because most of the people who come to the shopping street are mutants and anomalous people, and they currently have some crystal nuclei in their hands.

The government only told the vendors who came to pick up the goods from them that they could only supply them with food and goods with crystal nuclei, otherwise they would not provide anything, even though these vendors were inextricably linked to the government and did not budge.

The vendors had to carry a heavy sack of money and went back dejected. Looking at the sack of money he had earned so hard, he wanted to buy more goods in demand, but now it has become a pile of waste paper, and the vendors are all grief-stricken with the death of the whole family.

The government is still indifferent, these traders have already made a lot of oil and water, and they are not even worse off than the ministers, and it is nothing to suffer such a small loss.

Vendors must have crystal nuclei if they want to buy goods, and crystal nuclei are only available to mutants and supernatural people, and ordinary people can't take them out at all, resulting in all the shops on the commercial street only trading with mutants and supernatural people for a long time, and ordinary people will not be treated and refuse to trade even if they take something much higher than the value of the item to be exchanged. However, after this transition period has passed, the traders have enough crystal nucleus capital in their hands, and they will begin to allow bartering again, after all, the number of aliens and mutants is limited, and the majority of ordinary people are the real dealers, even if they don't have crystal nuclei but they can't keep them out, there are many people, many items, and many of the items they carry with them when they flee to the base are not available in the base warehouse.
