Chapter 81: Issuance of Banknotes

When Jing Ling woke up, the sun was already shining. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

He stretched, then took a shower, ate a few slices of bread, and left the town hall towards the printing workshop......

When the red soldiers guarding the door of the workshop saw their supreme commander coming, they immediately shouted in unison: "Good commander! ”

"Hello." Jing Ling nodded at them in response, and then he walked into the printing workshop, where the pungent smell of ink suddenly hit his face, and dozens of workers were busy doing various tasks in the green field.

Qiu Zhiwei, who was instructing the workers to work, saw that Jing Ling was coming, and immediately rushed up and said, "Lord, you are here!" ”

"Without further ado, did the first banknotes come out?" Jing Ling's words are to the point.

"I've just finished cutting, and now I'm getting ready to pack and bundle." After Qiu Zhiwei finished speaking, he took Jing Ling to the cutting workshop.

Seeing a pile of sky-blue banknotes on the work table, Jing Ling took out a photo and looked at it carefully, the front is his portrait and various patterns of unity, and the back is a bird's-eye view of the ice city, each banknote has a unique serial number, and a looming yarn can also be seen in the light.

The denominations are five cents, one yuan, two yuan, five yuan, ten yuan, twenty yuan, fifty yuan, and one hundred yuan.

"It's not very beautiful, but let's make do with it first, and then recycle and destroy it when the time comes." After Jing Ling finished speaking, he patted Qiu Zhiwei on the shoulder and said, "You accompany me to the city library, I have already arranged a work space for you." ”

In a few moments, they came to the center of the city, and the surrounding dozen houses and warehouses formed a city demand warehouse that controlled the materials of the whole city.

Jing Ling took Qiu Zhiwei to the downstairs of a majestic three-story building covering an area of thousands of square meters, where several workers were hanging a plaque on the wall, and the plaque was written in four large gilded characters: Central Bank

Almost all the buildings in front of the city need warehouse are crowded with people, most of them are to buy food and daily necessities, you must know that before the start of the war, the Nolan army used to collect all the grain within a radius of five kilometers into the city need storehouse, which also led to the fact that the Red Army now almost controls more than half of the city's grain.

When there was no money, Jing Ling ordered the grain to be sold, and those who were poor had to receive a voucher from the government every day, and then use the voucher to go to the grain depot to buy grain.

Soon there was an uproar from the crowd queuing up to buy food, causing people in the streets to talk about what was going on.

I saw someone shouting: "Grab money, the government grab money!" ”

When everyone heard that it was okay, they all rushed to the granary to see what was going on.

I saw a sign on the big bamboo fence containing all kinds of grain, and a line of words was written on the card: All grain will only be accepted in Joajin!

"What is Joaquin!?"

"I heard that it is a banknote issued by the government, and we will use Joaquin to buy things in the future."

"And how are we going to get Joaquin?"

"Didn't you read the notices posted on the streets? Just one gram of gold can be exchanged for three hundred dollars of Joaquin at the central bank. One gram of silver can be exchanged for a hundred Joaquin denominations. ”

"Isn't this an open robbery! We want to exchange some waste paper for our gold and silver!? ”

"What are you shouting, didn't you see the announcement that anyone with Joaquin can go to the central bank at any time to exchange gold and silver."

"I heard that this Joaquin is not printed indiscriminately, there must be a gram of gold in the government treasury to print 300 denominations of Joagold, otherwise we exchange gold with the government, and they can't get it."

............

The crowd of onlookers resounded with a cacophony of discussions, and some people began to notice that the streets and alleys were plastered with announcements at some point, and people went to the vault with the announcements, but what they saw was the central bank with a changed face.

The guards stood at the gate and shouted to the crowd, "Those who want to exchange Joaquin should go in batches of fifty people." ”

Everyone stood outside the gate and hesitated, but after all, the food still had to be eaten, not to mention that the government controlled the timber, oil and salt in the whole city. If they don't exchange Joaquin to buy timber, oil and salt, even if they have some food at home, they can't cook without wood, and they will face malnutrition without salt and oil.

Although he was scolding the cunning of the government, there were still many people lining up to enter the central bank in exchange for Joaquin.

I saw a row of counters in the center of the bank lobby, with a dozen tellers standing on one side and dozens of people who had come to exchange for Joaquin on the other. The counter was filled with instruments for measuring the quality and purity of gold and silver, and the sky-blue notes were lined up on the table behind the teller.

Qiu Zhiwei and a dozen tellers were busy sweating profusely, and the people who had changed to Joaquin hurriedly ran out of the bank to buy items, fearing that the papers would lose their value in the next moment.

Jing Ling on the side nodded with satisfaction when he saw this scene, he knew that as time went by, more and more people would come to exchange Joaquin, and people would gradually discover the advantages of paper money, and finally they would fully accept Joaquin as a circulating currency, and a large amount of gold and silver from the people would also pour into the treasury.

After the financial crisis was resolved, Jing Ling decided to solve the most difficult stability maintenance problem first.

He arrived at the courthouse, not far from the Central Bank, and couldn't help but sneer at the relief of the scales carved into the walls of the towering buildings.

The judicial officers who came and went began to notice Jing Ling, and saw one person step forward and say, "My lord, do you need to go in and have a visit?" ”

"Of course, otherwise I'll have nothing to do when I'm here to eat and have nothing to do." Jing Ling complained, and strode into the courthouse.

He came to the spacious courtroom, which was empty and the chairs sat lonely in the courtroom.

"In such a big place, at least one or two hundred people can be seated." Jing Ling said to the judicial officers who were accompanying him, "What happened to the judge who tried the girl in the market yesterday?" ”

"He was convicted at this morning's trial of knowing the law and disregarding human life, and he will face a sentence of twenty years in prison." A judicial officer said respectfully.

Jing Ling shook his head and sighed, the reason why the judge wanted to hang the girl who gave birth to the dead baby in public was because there were more and more abandoned babies in the city recently, and he decided to hang the girl in order to deter those women who had the idea of abandoning the baby.

But the law is the law, and no matter how noble the judge's reasons may be, he has no right to dictate the life and death of others at will.

Now that Jingling has solved the financial problem, it is time to solve the problem of maintaining social stability.

I saw him sitting in the seat of the chief judge, and asked all the judicial officers to sit in the audience, and then called Mu Xin and some of the backbone of the tourists, and then began to say what he had thought in the past few days.

"Mu Xin, how is the security in the city recently?" Jing Ling pointed to Mu Xin in the audience and said.

"Lord, there have been too many crimes recently, and there are only more than 200 people in the patrol team, so they can't cope with it at all." Mu Xin is embarrassed.

Jing Ling said in a deep voice: "Poverty leads to crime, so we must quickly boost the economy." ”

A judicial officer who is over the age of sixteen said: "Most criminals are lazy people, the government has relief food for them to eat, and they have to steal other people's things, I think they are born bad guys, and when the economy is prosperous, they will become even worse." ”

Jing Ling's expression froze when he heard this, and he just wanted to get angry, but when he saw that the other party's hair was gray, out of respect for the elder. He endured his anger and said coldly: "Because you are white and born in a rich environment, you have the courage to wash yourself cleanly." If you were born in the same circumstances as them, I don't think you would make much difference. ”

The old judicial officer was speechless for a moment, and his face was so red that he couldn't think of anything to refute Jing Ling.

"What the lord said is not wrong, it is the environment that changes people, so we have to change the environment!" Mu Xin knew that the conflict between the white and the yellow man had a long history, and the identity of master and slave could not be completely eliminated in a moment.

Jing Ling glanced at Mu Xin in surprise, and a flash of thought flashed in his heart to make Mu Xin the chief of the police department, but as soon as he thought of that extremely important task, he decided to let Mu Xin continue to be his extreme boss.

I saw him say to Mu Xin: "Although I have asked the tourist's battle hall to temporarily take over the duties of the patrol team, the ice city needs a regular judicial armed force after all. ”

Mu Xin wondered, "What do you mean?" ”

"I want to form a well-trained judicial armed force, which is the first line of defense for the security of society, and at the same time one of the organs that I use to consolidate my power, I call it the police station," Jing Ling said. ”

Police station?

Everyone showed a stunned expression, they had heard that their lord often played cards out of common sense in the past few days, and now they had learned it.
