The first time I went shopping

Then, Liu Kuang used one analysis after another to prove his argument, "Except for Guangzhou, our Guangfu Army will not expand the control area for many times in the future." In other words, we will build a self-sufficient industrial system on the existing site. The rest of China is not only our resource provider, but also the end market for our products, and we will also drive the development of industries in other regions while developing ourselves, which is not very similar to the purpose of the original time and space to set up special economic zones? The reality requires us to develop an independent monetary system, just as Hong Kong did in the twentieth century. That's why I say that our economy is a mix of Hong Kong and Shenzhen. ”

Liu Kuang's point of view has basically been agreed by everyone, and the two sides of the debate just now have been arguing on this basis, and finally did not make a final decision with Liu Kuang, "Since 1983, Hong Kong has established a linked exchange rate system pegged to the US dollar for the issuance of the Hong Kong dollar. The note-issuing bank must press 7 when issuing any amount of Hong Kong dollars. The exchange rate of HK$80 to US$1 is surrendered to the HKMA, which is credited to the Exchange Fund and the certificate of indebtedness is issued before banknote can be printed. In this way, the US dollar holdings of the Exchange Fund support the stability of Hong Kong dollar banknotes. However, the limited amount of gold we hold now is not enough to support us to directly use gold as a reserve currency, so it is the right choice to choose a currency with a stable value and as a means of international payment as our reserve currency. The British officially adopted the gold standard in 1821, and the British pound became the standard monetary unit of the United Kingdom, with 7 for every 1 pound. 32,238 grams of pure gold. When World War I broke out in 1914, Britain abolished the gold standard, gold coins were out of circulation, and Britain stopped exchanging gold. On May 13, 1925, Britain implemented the gold bullion standard, and then was forced to abandon it on September 21, 1931 due to the great crisis of the world economy, and the pound evolved into an uncashable banknote. However, due to the need for exchange control, on December 18, 1946, the gold content of the pound was still set at 3. 58134 grams. We now only need to earn pounds through exports, and then use the pound sterling as foreign exchange reserves to issue RMB, fix the exchange rate of RMB against GBP, such as 1 pound to 10 yuan, and then determine the amount of RMB issued according to the amount of pound sterling held. ”

"Now that the British have been defeated by us, will it affect the value of the pound?" Some people are worried that the little butterfly of the Liberation Army will fan the wind too much, and take history away from its original track.

"Don't worry about that, Britain is still on the rise, and a small defeat won't hurt its bones." Liu Kuang looks more confident than the British.

"But the local people don't know the pound! They only recognize silver, or silver yuan. "There are also concerns about the circulation of newly issued currencies in the Liberation Zone.

"Our currency pair should be regarded as credit currency, or that sentence, as long as you can buy something, it can be used to pay taxes in the future, and the people will recognize it." Liu Kuang said confidently.

After unifying his thinking, the next step was to set up a central bank, but no one had any experience in this area, so Liu Kuang decided to wait for the management committee to approve the issue of currency, and then discuss the establishment of a central bank.

Luo Jiaying sat in the cargo compartment of a truck, leaning against the wall panel, and fell asleep at any time with the ups and downs of the body.

The month-long intensive training for non-commissioned officers was over, and he was promoted to sergeant, and at the graduation ceremony, he took the first place in the overall score of this subject under the gaze of thousands of people, and was personally put on epaulettes by the commander-in-chief Ma Angelica. At that moment, he really realized what a soldier's sense of honor was.

After the training, the non-commissioned officers all returned to their own homes, that is, where they came from and where they went back. However, the military academy and the military command department still gave them three days off very humanely and let them go home to see. After leaving the military academy in Tuen Mun, Law Ka-ying did not plan to go home immediately, but decided to go to Kowloon New Town first.

The so-called Kowloon New Town is the county town of Kowloon under construction, that is, the area of Tsim Sha Tsui, Tsim Sha Tsui East and Mong Kok in the original time and space. After the end of the Battle of Hong Kong, all the military facilities that had been built in this area were demolished, and after the land was leveled, the original residents did not let them move back immediately, but replanned a large area. Kowloon is positioned as a major port for foreign trade in the overall planning of the Liberation Zone, and Victoria Bay is a good deep-water port with favorable conditions for the development of maritime transportation. After the Guangzhou-Kowloon Railway is opened to traffic, it can also be used as an outer port in Guangzhou. Originally, the management committee changed the name of Victoria Bay and solicited a new name internally. Someone proposed to change the name to Wu Zetianwan, but the traces of imitation were criticized as too heavy; Some people also proposed that the Holy Maiden Bay was criticized for not having Chinese characteristics, so the original name is still being used.

In a daze, Luo Jiaying felt that the truck had stopped, and after standing up, he found that the truck was parked at a construction site. The truck was carrying construction materials to Kowloon, and when it passed through Tuen Mun, the group of non-commissioned officers returning home stopped the road and asked for a ride. The non-commissioned officers jumped out of the car with their backpacks on their backs, thanked the driver and scattered. Everyone was local, and they were all in a hurry to get home. Luo Jiaying stood in place and looked at the surrounding environment, if it weren't for the hundreds of years old banyan tree still there, Luo Jiaying would not have been able to recognize that this was the Tsim Sha Spit that he had been to countless times before. The original walled villages, fields, and ponds are all gone, and there are piles of building materials everywhere, as well as some large pits several feet deep. Luo Jiaying already knew that it was a foundation pit dug for the purpose of starting the building, and the higher the building, the deeper the pit was dug. Looking at the Tsim Sha Tsui, which was completely unfamiliar in front of him, Luo Jiaying felt a sense of vicissitudes in his heart. However, he didn't seem to be long in calling a construction worker, asking where the company's department store was, and striding towards his goal.

The shops are located in the original bazaar, which is near the marina by the sea. Since the opening of Hong Kong, this is the main north-south goods trading market in Hong Kong, and a large number of goods are bought and sold here every day. Although it was closed during the war, it reopened half a month after the end of the war, and the market is even more prosperous than before. Rather than crowding with indigenous shops, the department stores of Global Trade have set up a few large sheds in an open space on the side, giving the survivors the impression that they are temporary stalls selling New Year's goods. However, the customers who came to purchase did not dislike its simplicity at all, and surrounded the stalls with three layers of water inside and three layers outside, and Cantonese people, Hakka people, and Chaozhou people shouted in their own dialects, and Luo Jiaying even saw a few Fu guys who spoke Hokkien. The sergeant had come here to buy some gifts to take home, and he had been out for a few months, and although his home was close at hand, he had not been back once. He hadn't spent a single copper plate on his military salary for a few months, so he was going to buy some foreign goods and go home as gifts for his family, but now he saw that the store was full of people, and he couldn't go in with a foot. As he was in trouble, he suddenly heard a woman's voice calling him, "Comrade soldier, comrade soldier." When I looked back, I found that it was a young woman I didn't know, seventeen or eighteen years old, with her hair tied in a ponytail, wearing a light blue silk dress, and the metal nameplate on her chest was printed with the words "Universal Department Store". Luo Jiaying took a closer look and found that the woman's eyebrows and eyes were a little familiar, and asked uncertainly, "You are a happy girl, right?" I'm your fourth brother! ”

After being reminded by Luo Jiaying, the other party also recognized him, "Ah! It's Brother Jiaying, why are you back? ”

"I just had a vacation and I'm going to buy some things to go home." After going out for a few months, Luo Jiaying was still very happy to meet a relative. The young woman was his cousin Luo Jiaxi, but they were a little far apart, and the two families had little contact. I heard that their family only has five daughters, and they have always been the object of ridicule in the clan, but I didn't expect that they are also working as an errand for the chief now. "...... are you?"

"I work at Universal now." Luo Jiaxi pointed to the nameplate on his chest, and his tone was full of pride. "Are you going to buy something? I'll take you in! As she spoke, she shouted to the people crowded in front of the stall, "Let me go!" Let's go! Let the comrades of the Liberation Army go in first! Hearing her shout, the crowd immediately moved out of the way. Luo Jiaxi pulled Luo Jiaying inside, and whispered to the latter: "Our leaders have notified that if the comrades of the Liberation Army come to shop, they must be given priority." I just saw you standing alone in the back, so I came out to greet you. "Luo Jiaying is a soldier here, and the big cap is particularly conspicuous in the crowd. In Luo Jiaying's impression, this cousin has always been a taciturn person, and it doesn't seem that she has become eloquent after a few months, and the chiefs are still good at transforming people!

The goods on the stall are mainly daily necessities, Luo Jiaying didn't know what to buy, and finally bought a bottle of good wine and several fruit hard candies under Luo Jiaxi's suggestion, and the soldiers have a 95% discount. When paying the bill, Luo Jiaying deliberately took out the new money, and heard the chief say that the military salary in the future will be changed to this new money. And this new money is said to be made of what alloy, anyway, it is not silver, it is smaller than silver yuan, and everyone is unwilling to accept it. Later, it was the political commissar who packed tickets for everyone to ensure that everyone's money could buy things in the store and could be used to pay taxes later, which calmed everyone's emotions. Fortunately, the reputation of the leaders has always been very good, and if it is replaced by other armies to issue "iron money", they must make trouble. Luo Jiaying was still a little worried when he took out the "iron money", he was afraid that if the other party didn't accept it, it would be a big loss. However, his worries were unnecessary, and the salesman simply took his money and quickly retrieved a few dimes and cents.

After buying good things and saying goodbye to his cousin, Luo Jiaying squeezed out of the crowd. He came to buy things mainly to verify whether the new money could be spent, and now that the purpose has been achieved, of course, he is going home. When I got out of the market and was about to start the 11th Road, I saw a few natives riding tricycles shouting at the intersection, "Biandu? Boss goes to the side? Luo Jiaying has also seen a tricycle, and the master of the military academy room rides one out to buy vegetables every day. And these three-wheeled cars are a little different, the back of the car is not a cargo compartment, but a colorful plastic cloth canopy, as well as seats, which are obviously used to pull people. Luo Jiaying walked over on a whim and asked, "How much does it cost to go to Anchangwei?" ”

When the business came to the door, the coachman immediately replied enthusiastically: "As long as the triangular money." That is, the price of half a catty of fruit candy, Luo Jiaying didn't think it was expensive when he thought about it, so he sat down.
