Chapter 1168: Where to Use It
Since Li Bangfan became the director of the Political Security Bureau, he has rarely received commendations from both Motokiyo Masaio and Miza Genta. As for the secret service headquarters, it has not been praised even more. This time, he was personally received by Shikuro Ochiai, and he praised him a lot, which made him so excited that he couldn't know why.
"Yanagiha Ichiro-kun, this plan of yours is really good. Simple and effective, the people of Guxing will definitely accept it willingly. It deserves to be promoted, and I thank you for the Empire. Ochiai Shikuro patted Li Bangfan's shoulder hard, and said encouragingly.
"As long as he can serve the empire, Ichiro will definitely be ruined." Li Bangfan said firmly in Japanese, his eyes were moist, and it was the first time that he had been praised by such a heavyweight general after coming to China for so long.
"When Shanghai promoted the China Reserve Bonds, it was met with great resistance. Originally, I thought that Gu Xing would also suffer like this. Even, it is necessary to dispatch the imperial army to forcibly promote it. But I didn't expect you to think of such a good solution. In the future, when we promote other currencies, we will not be so resistant. Shikuro Ochiai said with a smile.
"Gu Xing's situation is different, I just made some adjustments according to the actual situation." Li Bangfan said humbly.
"Tell me, what do you think?" Shikuro Ochiai asked, the content of this plan is not complicated, and the action must be smooth. However, the thought of using grain and salt to control the people of the ancient star and make them willingly use the Central Reserve Coupons, this person is definitely not ordinary.
"I also think about it occasionally, and when I received the assignment, I also meditated on it at first. I even thought of Shanghai's solution, but I forgot to eat at night, and I felt very hungry in the middle of the night, and suddenly remembered that for ordinary people, eating is their biggest problem. If we control their food, we control them. Li Bangfan said.
"That's why we need to be more strict about salt." Ochiai Shikuro admonished.
"Yes." Li Bangfan said solemnly.
With this plan, the promotion of the China Reserve Bond in Guxing has been going smoothly. The Grain Guild has added a mechanism to exchange vouchers for the Central Reserve, which is convenient for those who come to buy grain temporarily. As for the purchase of table salt, it is also necessary to use the Central Reserve Coupons. Otherwise, once verified, the license to distribute salt will be confiscated.
The people who can sell grain and salt in Guxing now are like having a way to make money, and once their supply is cut off, it is equivalent to cutting off their financial route. No merchant dares to disobey. Even Hengchangyuan Commercial Bank had to abide by it.
"Whose bad idea was this? It's just too bad. Yao Yanping said hatefully.
"Stop whining, do it. From now on, we won't be able to accept fiat currency either. Dong Guangning said with a sigh.
"I really hope to kill this traitor." Yao Yanping said angrily that the fiat currency was incurred by the Chongqing government and was the country's legal tender. But the China Reserve Bills are just the "counterfeit money" of the Nanjing government, and in her heart, she naturally resists.
"This is made by Li Bangfan of the Political Security Bureau, otherwise, you will kill him?" Dong Guangning looked outside the door and found that there was no one, so he said with a low smile.
"Just give me a gun, absolutely no problem." Yao Yanping said confidently that with a gun in her hand, anyone would dare to kill. Isn't she the director of the Political Security Bureau, even if it's the captain of the gendarmerie, she won't care.
"Fool around, forget our mission." Dong Guangning said sternly, Yao Yanping dared to say this, and she might really dare to do this.
Yao Yanping stuck out her tongue and didn't say anything more. She does know how to use a gun, and she is bold, if she really wants a gun, she really dares to hoe and rape. It's just that as a member of the Weeds Intelligence Group, her main task is to assist Comrade Weeds. There are other things that they should try to avoid.
Originally, Dong Guangning's Hengchangyuan not only wanted to contact the Guxing Underground Party, but was an intelligence group personally controlled by Xu Zhi. At the same time, they are also responsible for procuring supplies for the base area. Yimin pharmacies are mainly medicines, and their task is to provide everything except medicines.
"In the end, the China Reserve Bill is just a piece of paper, and once the Chongqing government falls, all these banknotes will become waste paper." Yao Yanping said worriedly that this was a conspiracy by the Japanese and the Nanjing government. However, in the areas under their control, neither the Kuomintang nor the Communist Party had a good way to refuse.
When they were in Shanghai, in order to prevent the issuance of the Central Reserve Bonds, the military commanders could be said to have set off a bloody storm. However, in the end, the issuance of the Central Reserve Bills was not blocked.
"We can't stop these things. By order of the superiors, it was recently necessary to prepare a batch of paper and ink. Dong Guangning said that these will be used for propaganda. All along, our party has attached great importance to propaganda work.
The party's troops, wherever they go, will put propaganda work in the first place. Therefore, the demand for paper and ink in the base area is relatively large.
"I'll contact the source later." Yao Yanping said. As long as it is the work assigned by the organization, she has no hesitation.
"The supply of goods is put aside for the time being, and the most important thing at the moment is the channel. The Economic Department of the Political Security Bureau has become more and more strict in the inspection of goods, and it is not so simple for these contraband to go out of the city. Dong Guangning said that perhaps, this matter can only be solved by letting the "weeds" come forward. He was under the impression that weeds could do anything. Besides, the weeds have also solved so many materials for the base area before, and the weeds must have a special channel out of the city.
As soon as Gu Xing began to promote the Central Reserve Bonds, the military commanders began to act. Deng Xiangtao has accumulated a lot of China Reserve Bonds in his hand. It's a pity that there were no reserve bonds in the market before, and no matter how many reserves he had, he didn't dare to use them.
Now it's different, even if you can only buy food and salt, but the military commanders are starting to act. The counterfeit banknote in the hand is actually a kind of printed matter. However, when he found out that he could buy something in the market, he was of course very positive.
Although there are quotas for grain and salt, this is difficult for the military commanders. They'll find a way to get quotas. It can even exchange fiat currency with the public at an exchange rate lower than that of the government.
Although fiat currency will soon become waste paper in Guxing, it is still legal tender in the national control area. In the national control area, these fiat currencies exchanged for counterfeit banknotes can buy anything.
In addition, Deng Xiangtao also arranged for people to go to the Zhongjiang Industrial Bank and the Guxing Branch of the China Reserve Bank with the counterfeit banknotes in their hands, and they deposited the Chongqing China Reserve Bills into their households, but they did not find them. This emboldens them, and if they can save it in the bank, it will be more convenient to use it in the future.
When Zhu Muyun learned of these news, he was both happy and worried. Deng Xiangtao's hand can play a role, which is gratifying. Moreover, this also solved the problem of his "funding".
The reason why Zhu Muyun desperately wants to carry out the implementation plan of the China Reserve Bond is mainly to solve his own financial problem. He ordered a batch of guns from Shi Dongliang, but he didn't leave the house, and he didn't have enough funds, what should he do? Empty gloves white wolf. Use the military commander's central reserve coupon to set the real gun in Yang Jinqu's hand.
Zhu Muyun met with Deng Xiangtao in the evening and learned that the Chongqing version of the China Reserve Coupon can not only be used for normal shopping, but also deposited in the bank, which is just like the real thing.
"District, now we're going to make a fortune, can we buy dozens of foreign banks and get some cars?" Zhu Muyun said that he was in the French Concession and often dealt with Aiden, and that the American car dealer's life was not very easy now. Because of the tension between Japan and the United States, all Americans in the occupied areas felt the crisis.
Aiden would love to make a few big deals at the end and then go to the Kuomintang or leave China. In this regard, Zhu Muyun was also very helpless. If all the foreigners leave Guxing, the foreign language they have learned will be useless.
"No, the money can't be used to buy fixed assets." Deng Xiangtao shook his head, although no one can recognize the Chongqing version of the China Reserve Coupon at present, but maybe it will be revealed at some point.
When the time comes, when you check the old accounts, none of the real estate and cars they bought can be run away. So, he made up his mind to only buy supplies, or exchange them for fiat currency.
"Buy a bag of rice today, buy a pound of salt tomorrow, when will you be able to use up so much money." Zhu Muyun said that the task of the military command of the Guxing District is to spend all the money in the shortest possible time. The faster the transfer of the procured materials to the national control area, the better, so to speak, is a race against time.
"That's why you're going to figure it out." Deng Xiangtao said with a smile that Zhu Muyun's China Reserve Bond Promotion Plan looks simple, but it is very ingenious. If the Japanese army used this method to promote counterfeit money in all the control areas, it would be really difficult to deal with it.
Originally, Deng Xiangtao thought that Zhu Muyun would take advantage of this to be in the limelight. After all, Zhu Muyun is a person who likes to slap horses. However, Zhu Muyun gave up the opportunity to Li Bangfan. Guxing Daily also specially reported on this matter, and all the names were replaced by Li Bangfan.
"What can I do, please also ask for instructions, I am only responsible for carrying it out." Zhu Muyun spread his hands and said helplessly. But he began to be happy in his heart, and he was still thinking about how to guide Deng Xiangtao to use money to buy arms.
"You are the economic director of the Political Security Bureau, what materials can Gu Xing buy, can you still know?" Deng Xiangtao said dissatisfied.
"Well, the ordinary materials in the ancient star, I don't think it means much. If you want to do it, you have to engage in goods that are expensive and easy to transport. For example, opium, weapons, gold bars, silver dollars, etc. Zhu Muyun thought for a while and said.
"A lot of Gu Xing's opium came from Chongqing, so there is no point in buying these things. As for the gold bars and silver dollars, if I could buy them, I would still look for you? Deng Xiangtao said angrily.
"With that said, there's nothing left to buy. Otherwise, I'll get you some lacquer, tung oil, pig bristles, or something. Zhu Muyun said.
"Forget it, now that there is a war on the front line, how can these things be transported? In my opinion, let's get weapons. Deng Xiangtao said.
PS: On the first day of the last month of this year, I didn't make any money this year, so it depends on the last month, but I can ask for a monthly pass, maybe I can make a New Year's money in the end.
