Chapter 148: Prosperity Chases the Light
After deciding on the issue of the policy face value of the currency, Tang Zheng did not go to dinner immediately.
He came to the inner city almost non-stop and built a banknote printing factory.
The banknote printing factory is located on the east side of the inner city, which is closer to the bank and easier to transport.
Another 500,000 gold was smashed out, and the construction of the banknote printing factory was completed.
However, there are more employees here than in the bank, with 300 people.
Among them, 100 people are security guards in the factory, and 100 mobilized soldiers.
However, they still do not occupy the establishment of the Chaser Army, but are only responsible for defending the banknote printing plant.
The remaining 200 people, with the exception of a few high-ranking people, were all workers.
From drafting, finalization, printing, review, cutting, semi-finished products to finished products, each process is responsible for a special person.
There are a total of 11 printing workshops and a coin making workshop.
Eleven printing workshops, corresponding to the printing of eleven banknotes from 1,000 to 1 cent.
Coins are relatively simple, you only need to make one kind of coin.
After Tang Zheng finished the construction, the people of the printing plant were about to start.
Qi Zhengyang's work efficiency is simply surprising, so Tang Zheng has just finished building, and the pattern of the pattern coin has been made over there.
Seeing that the banknote printing factory was starting, Tang Zheng simply stopped eating, and waited patiently for the first set of patterns to appear.
Through the electronic screen here, he can clearly see the whole process of currency production.
Looking at the currencies made according to his own ideas, Tang Zheng felt very satisfied.
After about twenty minutes, the first set of coins was made.
Each edition produced 10,000 sheets, a total of 100,000 coins, and 10,000 coins.
"General, it's done, you can see it."
Bundles of brand-new banknotes were placed in front of Tang Zheng's eyes, which made him a little dazzled.
He first took out one of the 1,000 yuan and picked it up to check it.
What is a little surprising is that this banknote still has some weight to start with, and the paper is quite thick.
1,000 yuan is a large banknote, and the area is also the largest.
The front is the panoramic picture of the city of light that Tang Zheng requested.
The big city under the mountain, the river meanders, and the flag is displayed at the head of the city, which has a sense of the vastness of heaven and earth.
The inscription on the bank is in italics, and the coin is golden.
On the back is a panorama of the bank.
There are also points touched by blind people on it, rubbing with their hands, there is a sense of concave and convex, and the three-dimensional sense is very strong.
The wind trembled, and the currency clicked and was solid.
At this time, Li Changjun, the director of the banknote printing factory, said to Tang Zheng: "General, according to your requirements, our money production is very high-end, and the paper is also mixed with acid-proof technology and waterproof technology. ”
Tang Zheng nodded with satisfaction: "It's a good job, what about anti-counterfeiting?" ”
"Anti-counterfeiting is simpler, you must know that the production of banknotes is first and foremost paper, and no one can imitate our paper, let alone other processes."
"Good, I'm satisfied."
Tang Zheng looked at other banknotes, silver 300 yuan banknotes, purple 100 yuan banknotes, and so on.
After reading this, he looked at the banknotes again, and the coins.
Behind the penny, Big Smart and Little Beautiful were photographed vividly, sticking out their tongues and being very cute.
In fact, Tang Zheng originally wanted to shoot Tangtang into it, but he didn't want to expose Tangtang's existence for the time being, so he could only postpone this issue for the time being.
The current edition is only the first edition of the banknote, and there will be opportunities in the future.
When the situation stabilizes, the second and third sets can be issued.
And then there's the coins.
Tang Zheng picked up a coin and weighed it with his hand, it was not light or heavy, it was more appropriate to play with it.
The gold-plated brass is used to make this coin look like a gold coin.
Tang Zheng picked it up and blew it with his mouth, and there was a pleasant buzzing sound inside the coin.
"That's good, it looks like a lot of people will get used to playing with a coin in the future."
After reading all the money, Tang Zheng was about to leave, and Li Changjun immediately said: "General, this money is yours, you can take it away." ”
"Oh? How is it mine? ”
"General, this first set of light yuan first edition, that is the most precious, you look at this number, from 1 to 10,000, this version is only worthy of you to hold, I can say this, a year later, the value of this set of currency in your hand is at least five times the value of his own!"
Tang Zheng was also slightly stunned when he heard this, he didn't expect this currency to have such a high collection value.
Not to mention anything else, the 10,000 pieces of 1,000 light yuan are worth 10 million in themselves, and if they are doubled five times after a year, it will be 50 million.
With this money in his own hands, it will not be a problem to sell it for three or five billion in a few years.
Seeing the enthusiasm of his subordinates, Tang Zheng couldn't refuse, so he could only carry the money back to the official residence.
After that, the banknote printing factory was in full swing and began to make new currency overtime.
After research on the bank's side, Qi Zhengyang reported to Tang Zheng that the total amount of the first batch of currency was required to be three billion.
Of course, these three billion are not much, but this is only the first batch, which is to test the water in the market.
Tang Zheng agreed to this request and asked the bank to do it as soon as possible.
Later, Qi Zhengyang also demanded that a branch savings institution be opened in the prosperous area of Zhuguang City, and staff should be recruited at the same time.
Tang Zheng also approved and let Qi Zhengyang choose the site by himself.
Printing money is only the first step, and there is still a lot of new work to be done in the city.
First of all, the point system is abolished, and the points are exchanged for currency according to the proportion.
The original points are redeemed according to the ratio of three to one, and three points are exchanged for one light yuan.
Originally, one kilogram of grain could be exchanged for one point, but now three kilograms of grain can be exchanged for one light yuan.
In the past, gasoline, gold and other materials could also be exchanged for points, but now they are also exchanged for light yuan.
The detailed pricing is made by the Ministry of the Interior, which is more in line with the actual situation of the current city.
Of course, this price is not static, and the laws of the market are always running.
In order to make Guangyuan a hit, Tang Zheng also did a lot of work here, and began to push some goods to the market one after another.
It was the day after the end of the world began, and the sky was still gray, but with the arrival of autumn, the rain gradually decreased.
It is even said that it has not rained for almost twenty days, but frost has fallen.
Early in the morning, the residents of the city got up and prepared to start a new day's work.
Now there are a lot of jobs in the city, but there are too many people, since the people from the base of the peninsula have joined again, the total number of people in the city has exceeded the 600,000 mark!
This number of people is already more than the total number of people in the twelve bases of the alliance.
But even in the City of Chasing Light, it is impossible for people to eat nothing for nothing.
Nowadays, there are many professions, and people with guns will organize to collect supplies, that is, adventurer teams, which are more profitable.
And when the adventurer team grows bigger, it may become a mercenary group, which is the most profitable.
But whether it is an adventurer or a mercenary, it is not something that ordinary people can do, without certain military skills, without some knowledge of survival in the wild, without a strong physique and combat effectiveness, without enough courage and carefulness, doing this industry is basically to send to death.
The rest of the people, who have professional counterparts before the end of the world, can find corresponding jobs.
For example, former doctors and nurses, or those who have studied and engaged in the medical industry, can go to Chaguang Hospital.
For example, if you have studied accounting and bookkeeping before, done statistical work, or done commentary work, you can apply on the trading floor.
If you can drive and can afford a car, you can become a driver.
If you have a particularly good physical strength, you can work as a stevedore to load and unload the adventurer team.
Those who have been engaged in the construction industry are now blooming everywhere in the city of light and have their jobs.
The restaurant is particularly good at cooking, and some handicraft workers go to set up stalls.
Some weak women don't have any skills, and if they are beautiful, they will even choose to sell their bodies, and this kind of thing is also in Chasing Light City now.
But there are many more ordinary people, who can't find any jobs and have a very difficult life.
On weekdays, these people choose to go to the vicinity of the trading floor, because there are many people here, and it is easy to find work.
So every day as soon as the trading floor opens, people flock here to look for business opportunities, or wait for some boss to hire them, and even someone here holds a sign to help line up for business.
This morning was no exception, the trading floor had not yet opened, and the square outside the door was crowded with tens of thousands of people.
The staff of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the City of Light entered through the back door, ready to start the day's work.
Security guards opened the doors of the trading floor, and people flocked in.
After entering the door, many people who are here every day feel different.
The trading floor is surrounded by a number of large showcases, where both supplies are sold and purchased.
The big screen in the lobby is also constantly scrolling with subtitles.
This subtitle can be sent by the Light Army, and other people can also send it, as long as you spend a certain number of points.
But today is really different.
Because there are so many more products.
Brand new cars, displayed in rows in the corner of the hall, were found in many expensive models before the end of the world.
Life-saving medicines, which used to be hard to find, are now on sale, including cold medicines, anti-inflammatory drugs, healing medicines, antibiotics, cough and asthma medicines, and even first-aid kits.
Weapons display cases are on the shelves with heavy machine guns, military jeeps, grenades, and more.
Even on the shelves of the trading floor, there are some goods that were not available before.
Mutant beast meat, many people know about this thing, and eating it can strengthen the body, but at present, the survivors are generally strapped for money, and only those adventurers and mercenaries who are often active outside and have deep pockets can enjoy it.
This one isn't unusual, but there's another thing that's just too impressive.
In a fenced area, a hexagonal glass display case is placed.
Inside the display case, there was a syringe with a pale blue liquid in it.
On the side of the display case, there are guards with loaded guns and ammunition of the soldiers of the Light Chaser Army, and people can only look outside, but they cannot enter the inside to take and touch it.
There is an introduction next to it, and there are some jaw-dropping words written on it.
[Antiviral serum: It can resist the zombie virus, effective within 30 minutes after infection, and lasts for 48 hours. 】
