Feng Tian officially included Sophie in the door, and the promise to Wu Huamei was about to be fulfilled. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

However, Wu Huamei is more special, her identity is still a female spy sent by the southern government, even if Feng Tian marries Wu Huamei and enters the door, she will definitely not be able to swagger through the market.

Feng Tian invited Wu Huamei's family to meet with the old man, and the two families got together to hold a family banquet, Wu Huamei put on a wedding dress and held a simple ceremony, which was considered to have the third lady in the door.

This kind of thing is tacitly understood, if it is announced to the public that Wu Huamei is married to Feng Tian, it is really not good to tell the southern government about this matter, Wu Huamei has lost its role for the southern government, do you want them to send someone else?

Feng Tian didn't want to make trouble, Wu Huamei's external identity was still his personal secretary.

Up to now, Feng Tian has three wives, one of whom is a foreign woman.

This guy is not only fierce in battle, but also fierce in pulling women around him. It's just a little more time, and there are a lot of women around me, which is ridiculous.

During this time, Feng Tian and Feng Yong were a little busy, and the Northland Anti-Japanese Volunteer Army Government decided to end the supply system from January 1 next year.

The Japanese army launched a large-scale attack, the people of Mukden fled with their families, and tens of millions of people went into exile.

Special times and special methods, now, the most difficult period has passed, we can't go on like this forever, right?

Therefore, the supply system must end.

However, if you want to end the supply system, the people must have money in their hands, otherwise, what will you let people eat?

If you don't have money to buy something, you're not starving.

People have to eat every day, and there must be a connection in the middle to make the smooth transition of people's livelihood in the north.

These problems have long been considered by Fengtian, and of course there will be strategies to deal with them.

The Northland Bank has already started running, the printing of banknotes has been completed, and for this, the Northland Bank has long been prepared.

According to the arrangement of the closure of the heavens, the government of the Northland will pay government officials, industrial workers, farm workers, and military personnel in the Northland a minimum salary of six months by the end of this year.

Wait until January onwards, and each will be paid according to their position.

According to preliminary estimates, there are about 6 million people in the Northland who eat public meals, and these people need to be paid by the government.

Why is there such a large number?

This is because the government of the Northland has gathered almost all the light and strong, and the number is only a small one.

In this way, the monthly expenses are quite a lot.

In fact, the current Northland government is not short of money.

At the beginning, there were a lot of assets looted from Fengtian, including 15.8 million yuan in Fengdayang, 160,000 yuan in Fengxiaoyang, 30,000 yuan in Fa Dayang, 700,000 yuan in Dayang, 40 million taels of silver, and 80,000 pieces of gold in the young marshal's official residence, worth almost 20.6 billion yuan.

This is not counting some calligraphy, paintings, antiques and the like, and the value of that thing cannot be estimated for a while.

Not counting the Japanese assets looted at that time, it is estimated that the amount of assets looted in the surrounding areas alone will not be less than 35 billion yuan.

If you count the amount of Japanese capital and the output value in recent years, the Northland government has more than 30 billion assets.

In the past two years, Northland enterprises have produced large-scale products, dumped products into the mainland, and returned a lot of silver coins. In the first half of this year alone, more than a billion silver dollars flowed into the Fengtian and Beidi governments from the mainland, which shows how huge the amount is.

With the help of the supply system policy of the Northland, the industry almost did not include the labor cost, and the products produced were dumped wantonly. All Western industries have been hit.

Of course, there are already Western countries that are putting pressure on the governments of the South.

So what, Fengtian doesn't bird them at all, and when the southern government can't bear it, the plan to seal the sky should almost be realized.

The exchange price of silver coins and US dollars in different periods of the Republic of China was different, about one dollar to two to four silver coins, even if it was a ratio of one to three, the Northland government also had silver coin reserves equivalent to 10 billion US dollars.

In other words, the equivalent of 10 billion dollars can be issued just by using the silver dollar as a reserve currency.

Of course, it is not possible for the Northland Bank to issue money according to this algorithm.

This does not take into account the benefits of Fengtian's own enterprises exporting products to the Western world, and the domestic profits are simply disproportionate compared to them.

Sales of stockings are now booming, with annual sales estimated at billions of dollars.

Not only that, Feng Tian also let his European companies borrow a large amount, and has reached a long-term loan of two billion marks.

Therefore, the Northland is not short of money, and it is impossible to print some worthless banknotes, and it is foreseeable that the currency issued by the Northland Bank must be hard currency.

The currency issued by the Northland Bank is tentatively set at one Chinese dollar equal to one US dollar. According to the rough ratio of silver dollars to US dollars, one Chinese dollar is equivalent to three yuan.

According to the existing level setting in the north, the minimum wage is five yuan, which is converted into fifteen yuan heads, and each person's salary for half a year is thirty yuan of Chinese yuan, well, equivalent to ninety yuan heads.

Based on the number of salaries paid by 6 million people, the Northland government will pay 180 million Northland Chinese dollars.

It is said that the newly established Shanghai City Public Security Bureau has a monthly salary of 10 to 13 yuan for patrol officers and 16 to 18 yuan for patrol officers. In the past, there was a new silk bureau in Hankou, and the salary of salesmen was as low as 10 silver dollars and as high as 40 silver dollars.

By 1933, the monthly wages of merchant workers were generally 20 oceans. Families such as skilled workers, primary school teachers, and medical staff have a monthly income of more than 50 oceans, reaching the level of moderate prosperity; Families of middle-level clerks, engineers, secondary school teachers, doctors, journalists, writers, lawyers, and ordinary actors with a monthly income of more than $1,200 enter the middle class.

In the 10 years before the Anti-Japanese War, the real income of commercial workers increased by an average of 0.9% per year, after deducting the factor of rising prices. As the metropolis with the most developed industry, the highest concentration of industrial workers and the most prosperous commodity economy in China, this indicator is of typical significance.

In comparison, the wage level in the Northland is quite high, and five yuan in the Northland is equivalent to fifteen yuan heads, which means that the workers who have just worked are equivalent to the skilled workers in the commercial sea.

This is still the minimum wage, according to the rank of enterprise workers, the highest level is 12, and its monthly salary is 80 North Chinese dollars. There are 18 levels of administrative, technical, and military positions, with a maximum monthly salary of 160 Northland Chinese dollars.

It can be said that the Northlanders are super wealthy.

In this era, the silver dollar was hard currency.

In Beiping in the thirties, 1 silver dollar could buy 6 catties of good pork, 40 pork dumplings, two bowls of millet porridge, plus a plate of sugar, two cents and two cents.

In the mountain city of Sichuan, in 1936, rice was 5 yuan for 1 catty and 2 cents, and 2 yuan for 100 catties.

In rural Gansu, 7 years before the Anti-Japanese War, 100 catties of wheat were 5 to 3 yuan.

In Hankou, in 1930, the price of sesame oil and eggs per 100 catties was about 20 yuan, cotton and pork per catty was about 3 dimes, 1 catty of carp was less than 5 cents, and the retail price of 1 catty of kerosene remained between 0.10~0.15 yuan for a long time.

In 1928, the prices per mu of land in Gaohang, Chenhang, Jiangwan and Yanghang in the suburbs of Shanghai were 150-100, 100-60, 1000-70 and 100-300 yuan respectively. At this price, as a minimum wage worker in the Northland, you can buy it with five months' salary.

In 1933, the lowest land price in the sixth district of Hankou was 84 yuan 1 mu, and the lowest land price in the seventh district was 90 yuan 1 mu.

The first floor of Shikumen in Shanghai has electric lights and running water, and the monthly rent is 10 yuan.

Guest inns, 3 corners of 5 to 6 corners per bunk; Yarn factory dormitory, monthly rent ranges from 2 to 5 yuan, two floors can live 10 people, tap water is provided by the factory, some also power supply, with family members, two families rent a floor, the cost is only more than 1 yuan.

The best dormitory is a brick structure, with flooring, 500 cubic feet in length and width, 5,000 cubic feet in volume, kitchen, street lights and sewers, and a monthly rent of 6 to 9 yuan.

In addition, workers can also rent land, settle down and live, the annual rent of half an acre of land is 200 yuan, 21 households share, on average 8 cents per month per household, of course, the environment is extremely poor.

Another example is in Beijing: "In the courtyard, the rent is only about 20 yuan per month; A 20-square-meter single dormitory, the monthly rent is 4-5 yuan.

Although the purchasing power of the ocean changes with the change of geography and time, it is ultimately a "valuable" hard currency, no matter when, no matter what place, no matter who, as long as dozens of oceans are spent, you will definitely be able to buy a lot of good things.

Wu Yu, an anti-etiquette fighter who was once as famous as Lu Xun, as an example, had a wife, a concubine, several daughters, four servants and an old mother, and a family of more than a dozen people, living a well-off life in Chengdu, and it was enough for the whole family to buy meat and vegetables for only 22 yuan a month (according to Wu Yu's diary on June 20, 1914).

Later, he came to Beijing, worked as a professor at Peking University, invited Cai Yuanpei, Hu Shi, Zhou Zuoren, Gu Jiegang, Qian Daosun and other colleagues to dinner, and held a banquet at the Donghua Hotel on Wangfujing Street, where there were all kinds of expensive dishes such as shark fin and abalone, and only cost 25 yuan for a meal (according to Wu Yu's diary on February 26, 1922).

Later, Wu Yu traveled to the Shanghai Sea, stayed at the most luxurious hotel in the British Concession at night, the Far East Hotel, and asked for a high-end suite, and the room fee was only 5 yuan per day (according to Wu Yu's diary on June 24, 1924).

In the early days of the Republic of China, the professors of Peking University lived a prosperous life, and every family hired errands, nannies, and even cooks and coachmen, all of which cost nothing more than 30 yuan a month (according to Wu Yu's diary).

After Lu Xun bought the second courtyard house in the west three alleys of Fuchengmen, Beijing, he took his mother and his original wife Zhu An to live, and hired three old mothers to wait on them.

This shows that the purchasing power of Dayang was indeed strong during the Republic of China, and it also shows that the income of the old mother was indeed very low at that time. (To be continued.) )
