"I want to open a few grocery stores in Ironclad." Li Yinguang said.

Irma was stunned for a moment, and then nodded very flatly: "Okay, why did you call me here?" "I don't seem to be surprised that Li Yinguang said that he wants to open a store.

Li Yinguang laughed dryly, everyone saw this shortcoming in the ironclad city, but they didn't notice it.

Looking up at Bai Youxuan, maybe if she didn't remind herself, maybe in a few days, there would be all kinds of grocery stores in the Iron Armor City.

The slaves, coolies, and ordinary people at the bottom can't get these things, but for these veterans in the Ironclad City of the Ancient Castle, it is very easy to get a venue, find two personnel, pour some supplies, and open a grocery store.

Business opportunities, everyone sees things differently, but one thing is certain, if he can do it, I can do it, everyone does this, there will be vicious competition, and when Li Yinguang wants to intervene again, interfere, or take back his authority, it is bound to negotiate with these old people, and it will never be as easy and simple as now.

"You are the housekeeper in the Iron Armored City, if you don't call you over, who will you call!" Li Yinguang replied with a smile.

Walking to the bilge, in the past, although Li Yinguang sometimes came down, he definitely didn't stay in the bilge for too long.

The lowest level of the Iron City is divided into work area, R&D area, power area (melting furnace area), combat area and other areas.

Among the thousands of grassroots personnel, at least eighty percent will work at the bottom on a daily basis.

"Stop, it's you!"

Li Yinguang grabbed a passing worker, called him over, and asked, "What do you want to buy the most recently?" ”

The coolie worker was full of confusion, and he knelt on the ground with a sad face, and said loudly with a sad face: "City Lord, the villain really hasn't stolen anything!" ”

Li Yinguang: "......"

Poof, Lan Ling, who was standing behind him, couldn't help laughing, and was glared at by Li Yinguang fiercely, and his smile was so frightened that he retracted his smile.

"Get up!"

Li Yinguang stepped forward and pulled the other party up from the ground: "The city lord didn't say that you stole things, but asked you what you want to buy the most recently!" ”

Probably afraid that the other party didn't understand what he meant, he interrupted indiscriminately and explained: "Don't you all have a salary every month, I plan to open a few shops, but I don't know what you want to buy, tell the city lord, what do you or your co-workers want to buy the most?" ”

The coolie worker raised his hand and scratched his head, and smiled awkwardly at Li Yinguang: "I ...... I want to buy some alcohol to drink, I heard that kind of thing, and after drinking it, I can forget all the sorrows in my mind in the past and now. ”

"Want to drink?"

Li Yinguang frowned, looked at him and asked curiously: "What worries do you have, tell the city lord first, and say that if you move the city lord, even if there is no wine to sell, I will reward you with a bottle to taste!" ”

The other party grinned and said: "It's nothing, my best brother died in battle last night, and his head was blown off with a shot, so he didn't stitch his face." ”

The eyes are sad and lonely, and there is no faking in the slightest!

Li Yinguang sighed, raised his hand and patted the other party's shoulder, turned to Lan Ling and said, "I'll send this brother a bottle of 'Sweet Grass Vine Wine' in a while." ”

"Go get busy!"

"Yes!"

The coolie breathed a sigh of relief and turned to walk away quickly.

Li Yinguang looked at the other party's back, and said calmly: "These are all loyal soldiers who have shed their blood for the Castle Iron City, look back and count, how many are the people who survived at the beginning, how many are the people who followed from Mambach Town, among these people, if there are slave status, all the slave status will be cancelled, and the resident status of the Castle will be issued, employees, ordinary personnel, and promoted to 'citizens'." ”

After a slight pause, he thought about it and said, "The salary level is promoted to the third level, and you can enjoy the privileges of the loyalty level in the Iron Armor City of the Ancient Castle!" ”

No one objected, because there were not a few people left who had stayed in the Castle Iron City from the beginning, and there were no more people left, even if they were recruited from Mambach Town, it was estimated that there were no two or three hundred people, and most of the rest were recruited from the Gufeng Mountain Mining Area, and some of them were people from the former Manbach Family's No. 5 Iron City.

If the Ironclad City is destroyed, the people in the Ironclad City will have at least eighty percent of the casualties, so their fate is also tied to the Ironclad City where they are located.

In troubled times, human life is not as good as mustard, and many times it is not with whomever you want, you can do whatever you want, and fate is not controlled by individuals.

"Wine, this kind of thing, can not be casually circulated in the ancient castle ironclad city, whether it is the lower-level coolies, or the middle and upper level managers, if there are no special circumstances, drink at will, alcoholics, severely punished, Lan Ling This matter is under your responsibility, from now on, the establishment of the ironclad city supervision brigade, the supervision team captain authority level is tentatively set at the second level, in charge of the daily style of the personnel in the ironclad city, from the veteran layer to the slave coolie ordinary layer, are all within the scope of supervision."

Li Yinguang said with a serious face.

In the past, there were hundreds of thousands of people, but now there are thousands of people, and the number of people will definitely be more in the future, alcohol is such a thing, it's good, but it will also make mistakes, Guifeng Mountain was attacked by the Liegen, because of the reduced vigilance, so, if you want to survive in this steampunk weird and dangerous world, no matter at any time, you can't give birth to an easy heart.

The prohibition of alcohol is also the first hard ban issued by Li Yinguang after the upgrade of the ancient castle to the 'third-rate' in the ancient castle ironclad city.

Including the senators, they must abide by it, which shows the severity of this order.

Drinking is wrong, so it is banned, but smoking is within a controllable range, to no need to prohibit, almost every region, there are plants similar to tobacco, these plants are cheap, although long-term smoking is harmful to health, can be smoked in a short time, has the effect of refreshing the brain, is very popular with the general class.

At least eighty percent of the coolies in the bilge smoke cigarettes.

Li Yinguang, as a man, can understand this, prohibiting drinking and not allowing smoking will make people crazy, alcohol is an expensive resource, even if it is banned, the opposition of ordinary people in the Iron Armored City will not be very strong, but the ban on smoking is not good.

"Specially set up a cigarette workshop, mass production of finished cigarette rolls, unified procurement, and then the 'Gubao brand' cigarettes as commodities and sold them on the shelves of the 'franchise store'. The tentative price of each box is 25 Copper Bull Coins! ”

Li Yinguang thought for a while and said: "No one is allowed to help the personnel in Tiejia City buy and purchase tobacco commodities from outside, what was bought in the past can be smoked, but it is not allowed to buy it in the future.

In addition to the 'Tobacco Franchise Store' where you can buy 'Castle' cigarettes, each person will be given a box of 'Castle' cigarettes every five days in the monthly employee benefits, and if someone does not smoke, they will be recycled according to 25 Castle coins per box.

In the future, the Castle Coin will be used as the internal token of the Castle Iron City, which can be consumed from various specialty stores and grocery stores, which is equivalent to Silver Bull Coins. ”

Bai Youxuan, who followed behind her, couldn't help but light up in her eyes, she didn't expect Li Yinguang to be so happy, direct, not only issued a ban on alcohol, but also controlled the production and sale of 'tobacco' in the shortest possible time, there are so many smokers in Tiejia City, so things like cigarettes will be very profitable.

Some people smoke one or two packs of cigarettes a day, and one pack is distributed every five days in employee benefits, which is obviously not enough.

Basically, the minimum salary of ordinary personnel is about 800 copper bull coins per month, there is a canteen in the ironclad city, you don't have to worry about three meals a day, and a set of work uniforms will be issued every month, and the weapons and ammunition of the armed personnel are also provided by the ironclad city.

It is to live in the ancient castle ironclad city, even if there is no income, you can meet the basic daily needs.

And the salaries that are paid daily are basically nowhere to spend!

If Li Yinguang gets stuck in the 'cigarette' franchise in Tiejia City, it will be equivalent to finding an outlet for the 'salary' flood discharge.

Dissatisfied?

Why are you not satisfied, in the ironclad city for you to eat, drink, and pay you a salary, such a good treatment, which ironclad city outside has it?

And in the employee benefits, six boxes of cigarettes are provided every month, and those who do not smoke can also be exchanged for 'castle coins' for token storage, which is equivalent to no charge, but also indirectly increases salary.

As for those who feel that it is not enough, either restrain themselves, or spend money to buy it, anyway, you have money in your hands, and if you don't spend it, it will be of no use.

With the consumption scene, whether it is the silver bull coins and copper bull coins issued before, or the 'castle coins' that will be reissued in the future, they will all flow and will not become the decoration at the bottom of the box.

Li Yinguang looked at Irma and said: "In the future, the production and monopoly of 'tobacco' will be handed over to you to be responsible, and in the future, tobacco will be purchased and produced in a unified manner, and there will be no threshold for franchise stores, as long as they are in the Iron Armor City, they can enter the store to buy, but they are limited to using 'ancient castle coins' for consumption."

Youxuan military division, in the ancient castle iron armored city, opened an exchange bank, allowing residents and employees in the city to exchange the silver bull coins and copper bull coins in their hands into 'castle coins', the exchange rate is one to one, and each copper bull coin can be exchanged for a castle coin.

In the future, 'Castle Coins' will also be paid as salaries, and if someone needs to leave or go shopping, the exchange bank will also be responsible for exchanging the Castle Coin into external currencies such as Silver Bull Coin and Bronze Bull Coins. ”

Bai Youxuan hurriedly said: "Yes, arrange someone to do it immediately!" ”

With the exchange bank, there is also a place to consume 'Castle Coins', and in the future, the salaries paid by the personnel of the Castle will be replaced by 'Castle Coins'.

The benefits are obvious, the 'Castle Coins' are the tokens produced by the Castle Iron City, so isn't it that you can produce as much as you want, which is equivalent to 'printing money' and paying your salary.

"Tobacco franchises, castle coins, exchange banks, and grocery stores should be put on the agenda immediately, and what can be done today should not be postponed until tomorrow!" Li Yinguang said seriously.
