The denominations are $500, $100, $50, $10, $5 and $1.

Except for the 500 dollar denomination, which I have not seen, the other denominations are more similar to those before the end of the world, but there are some differences, probably some changes have been made in the layout to distinguish them from the old currency.

"The distinctions are easy to discern, here, here and here." Ma Chao explained to me in detail, "Na, you can tell if it's a new coin or an old coin at a glance." ”

"The reason for the revision?"

"The old currency in the last days because of poor management, most of the whereabouts are unknown, some people have a supreme love for money, that is, the end of the world is also crazy to collect paper money, if the new Celestial Empire continues to use the old currency, those who hoard paper money will become rich overnight, which is not conducive to the economy and management of the new country and new society, the leaders are thoughtful, if you want to let the whole people start from scratch with one heart, you must keep the economic level on a starting line, and fundamentally eliminate the gap between the rich and the poor." Ma Chao replied seriously.

I don't understand these very well, I heard it plausible, it seems to make sense, Ma Chao saw that I was a little confused, so he continued, "It's very simple, whether it's building a base or a new country, you need all the people to work together and do their best, it's not enough to rely on consciousness alone, the inferior nature of human beings is there, and if you have money in your hands, you won't be willing to be tired, and the circulation of old currency will inevitably cause some people to be lazy, which is unfair to other people." ”

I thought about it for a while, "Our survival team, starting from 180 people to a few hundred, is rare to be lazy and slippery, and everyone relies on their own sense of belonging and responsibility to maintain this unity." Looks like we're pretty good on our team. ”

Ma Chao smiled, "Sister, how many people are you?" Do you know how many people are in the capital now? ”

We all looked at him, and no one dared to guess the number.

"Five hundred thousand!" Ma Chao opened a slap, "It is not easy to manage by a sense of responsibility, the big machine of society must be operated, lubricating oil is currency, people spend the money earned from work, food and clothing do not worry, social stability, personal safety is guaranteed, and the happiness index is high, so that the society can thrive and develop." ”

We were shocked, this population base has thrown off several streets of the Chengdu base!

"What do you remember about people's biggest economic problems before the end of the world?" Ma Chao asked us with a smile.

"House, huh?" I replied that this question did not bother me, I bought a house earlier, but then I heard that many young people are unable to get married because of the house, and the house price has risen to death.

Ma Chao nodded, "That's it, my former partner dumped me because I couldn't afford to buy a house in the capital, alas, don't mention the past." Now there are a lot of houses in the capital, and the leaders pick the big ones and distribute them to the survivors, not a penny, all for free! What needs to be spent is food and clothing, and it can be said that everyone will not be able to spend all the wages they will earn, and people will save up and say that they will spend it slowly in the new world. ”

"You don't have to buy a house, you don't have to squander it, and your ordinary salary is enough to support your family." I was overwhelmed with emotion, and it sounded like a really good policy.

"Pony, what is the salary standard in the capital? Forget it, do you mind, would it be good to reveal your monthly salary? Luo Han asked with a grin.

I think Arhat is a bit abrupt, before the end of the world, I never asked about other people's income, unless they took the initiative to say, not for anything else, many people's wages will be embarrassing to me.

Ma Chao didn't mind, "Well, me, the monthly salary is over 10,000 yuan, it's okay, buddy?" ”

Luo Han nodded, "If you don't have to buy a house, it sounds like it's not low, but I don't know what the consumption level in the capital is, if it's a hundred yuan for an apple, then the salary is not high." ”

Ma Chaoha laughed, at this time the waiter has begun to serve, the hot mandarin duck hot pot has also rolled away, large slices of fresh mutton, fat beef slices and all kinds of seafood, green vegetables are served one by one, everyone's index fingers moved, have stretched out chopsticks, mutton slices, fat beef slices, Sichuan noodles, prawns, crab pigs into the pot, watching the delicious tumbling in the red oil, my stomach is growling.

Ma Chao didn't answer Luohan's question directly, but said to the waiter, "Please bring the bill." ”

The waiter politely asked, "Isn't the gentleman going to add food?" ”

Ma Chao smiled, "I'll just take a look, if I add vegetables." ”

The waiter replied yes, and after a while, he sent a long printed menu.

Ma Chao handed the menu to Luohan, who looked at it and exclaimed, "Damn, so cheap?" ”

I was so curious that I grabbed the menu and looked directly at the total number below, and I was also surprised, only two hundred and thirty-seven yuan.

Is this the capital? This is going to be in the last days, just like this, and you won't be able to get down without a thousand eight hundred!

Ma Chao smiled, "After the end of the world, consumption has been adjusted, and prices have not gone as before, all of them have been lowered, and only the wage level has been raised." My salary is considered to be in the middle and upper class in the capital, and there are many technical and high-risk jobs with higher wages, such as the Ministry of Armed Forces, and I have a large part of the high salary standard. ”

"It smells so good!" Luohan munched on the spicy mutton dipped in sesame sauce, and he was so addicted that sweat broke out on his forehead.

"So if our brothers come over, it's still fragrant, haha." The thunderstorm also ate happily, but it didn't delay him from speaking.

"Pony, who's the new leader?" Zhu Hong pondered for a while and asked.

Ma Chao said a very familiar name, this person has an excellent reputation among the people, and we are all very happy to hear that the leader of the New Celestial Empire is him.

"No wonder the new policy is so in line with the people's feelings, now I understand." Zhang Xiaomei smiled and slowly peeled a prawn.

"The ability of the new leader is really not covered," Ma Chao didn't eat much, he came to entertain us, and it can be seen that his usual living conditions are good, not as greedy as us. "Bold! Did you see the huge wall outside when you came in? It was his order to use abandoned cars to pour a large concrete wall! Large oil refineries, arsenals, waterworks, power stations, food factories, textile factories were restarted...... The leadership group was reorganized, new recruits were recruited to form an army, and the currency was revised for circulation...... In fact, with such a good leader taking the lead, can a country still be built? ”

"Yes, think about it, there were really a lot of big officials before, but it's a pity that ......" Zhu Hong shook his head and didn't say much.

"Duoduo, will you come here?" Although Dr. Ali was not very involved in the discussion, she heard it all, and the situation in Beijing seemed to be much better than in Chengdu, and she was a little impatient to let us all move over.

"What do you think?" Naturally, I am also impressed, but it depends on the opinions of my partners, because we are one.

"Let's discuss it in the evening, delicious at the moment, my brain has become lazy, I don't want to think, hehe......" Zhu Hongyan quickly snatched a large piece of fat cow from Luohan's chopsticks, and chewed it in his mouth despite the scalding, making a smug sound.

"Hey, hey......" Luohan protested loudly, Ali and I hurriedly shouted at him, this is not the same as before, this is a hotel in a civilized society, it is too rude to shout loudly.

Ma Chao seemed to think of something, slapped his head, and called the waiter to ask for a few bottles of beer.

Several men's eyes widened, "What, what?" And beer to drink? ”

Ma Chao smiled, "I'm really sorry I forgot the beer!" The little ones are damn damn damn. Oh, two ladies, are you going to have a beer or some juice together......"

"Beer, beer." I shouted out with Dr. Ali, and my friends looked at us and smiled, with a look on our faces......

The beer was opened and poured into the cups, and the thick white foam overflowed from the cups, and Dr. Ali and I also reached out and took two glasses, and everyone didn't care about table manners, whether they touched the glasses or not, each greedily sucked the wheat-scented foam, it was so refreshing!

"Looks like the brewery is open too! Haha, come on, let's make a toast to the new leader. Thunderstorm was overjoyed and looked up and grunted a beer.

"The fact that the brewery can be opened means that there is no shortage of food, well, not bad." Zhu Hong and Zhang Xiaomei also drank and smiled.

We were so satisfied with this meal that we almost walked out of the Sichuan hot pot restaurant with the table, although some dishes were added later, today's consumption did not exceed 400 yuan.

In the afternoon, Ma Chao took us shopping, in the last few years, we have not spent a penny in the shopping mall, and we can take whatever we want, and now we have returned to the era of spending money, but I am a little uncomfortable, several times I want to take off the clothes on the shelf, and my hand quickly stopped in mid-air, hey, I am used to it...... This habit will have to be changed in the future, but looking at the label, the price of the goods is very cheap, if we work normally, it is estimated that we can still afford it.

The men were not very interested in shopping, they simply looked at the goods in the mall, and collectively went to the cinema upstairs of the mall to watch a blockbuster, or a foreign blockbuster, the Avengers, of course, the movie tickets were invited by Ma Chao, and we didn't have a penny of new currency, and it was really penniless in the capital.

When passing by Xinhua Bookstore, Dr. Ali proposed to go in and have a look, and we went in to look at the books on the shelves, and found that practical books have become mainstream, such as "How to Use and Maintain Firearms", "Understanding Zombies", "Weapon Classification", "Practical Grabs", "Survival in the Wild", "Be Your Own Doctor", "The Complete Book of Necrocide", ......

I flipped through the pages and found that the books were all about the valuable experiences we had accumulated over the years of our long survival career, and such books were indeed useful, unlike the flashy social books before the end of the world, which were useless at all. But then think about it, the people who have survived until now are not chaff, do they still need to read these books? I smiled and threw the book back on the shelf, and found Dr. Ali with me on the same expression.

When passing by the communication mall, Ma Chao asked Dr. Ali to go in and choose the mobile phone he liked, saying that Minister Nie had instructed him, as long as Dr. Ali liked it, he would buy it for Ali's future communication in the capital, Dr. Ali did not shirk it, he went in and picked a fruit mobile phone, and chose a number, the mantissa was 1234, which was very easy to remember.
