"You need money to do anything! How to come out of power is nothing more than a gun and a money bag. The world is just based on the same, and there are too many troubles! Meng Xiang sighed, after he planned the plan, he was startled. The cost is too high.

"But, it looks like I'm running my own bank now!" Meng Xiang was very proud of the Taiping Bank he opened at this time.

The tax revenue in the first quarter of the base area was just enough to pay the vanguard army a month's salary. The monthly salary of 50,000 yuan allocated by the central government is not enough for a day's consumption. Such a rich soldier, if there is no support from Taiping Bank, it will never work.

An account was opened for each soldier during the Pacific Row. The account header is the soldier's soldier number. The military salary went directly into it and could be taken out at any time. But with the clone corps taking the lead in the barracks, many people keep their salaries in the bank to earn interest.

And most of the circulation in society depends on copper and large copper circles. Only the copper circle that only needs to add manufacturing costs directly reduces the various operating costs of the vanguard army to a minimum. The sale of weapons and medicines in the base is going on again, with a monthly income of two or three million, plus the accumulation of gold and silver mines in Zhaoyuan and the thirty million marks that the Germans traded for Scott's destroyer, together with the stabilization of the economic system of metal gold tickets.

"No wonder people say that they are the richest people who print money. Now wages can be paid in copper yuan. Meng Xiang lamented that not only salary, but also interaction with the outside world, compared to the empty fiat currency, others prefer to accept copper yuan. In the underground transaction, a large amount of materials were brought in, and all that was paid was copper yuan, and it became more and more evident that the value of the metal military ticket was strong.

At this time, in the base area, the metal military stamps that were known as the "vanguard coins" by everyone had a tendency to gradually replace fiat currency. However, there is still a long way to go before we can control the economy of the entire base area.

"It needs to be stable for a while, more money, more talent, and an opportunity!" After considering a variety of factors, Meng Xiang postponed his improvement plan and continued to improve the supporting conditions of the relevant conditions.

"The prospects for the development of the plan are good, and I support it. But there is one question that needs to be solved, that is, what about our dealings with the outside world? How do you ship the products that are produced? At the new seminar, Li Shuchun raised the issue of access.

Jinan and Qi are both big commercial ports, but the blockade of the devils is obviously much deserted, even if Qidu, which has not been baptized by the war, is not as good as before. The trade in cotton, peanuts and so on has also been greatly reduced, and they used to be large items for foreign trade exports, but now the foreign channel is closed. Some of these crops are still left in the hands of large and small merchants and farmers, and the cost of previous labor has not been recovered, so how can it drive consumption? Fortunately, when it was not blocked last year, most of it was sold, and there was not too much backlog. But the total amount is also a headache number.

"There are also matches, salt, cloth, silk, etc., which are all advantageous products in the base and can be sold to the outside, but the external channel is blocked, and these goods cannot be shipped out."

"What is the demand in the zone itself?" Ma Yi acted as Meng Xiang's microphone this time.

"Consumption in the Special Economic Zone is not high, for example, matches cannot even be consumed, they cannot be sold outside, and the factory has been in a state of loss, and it is going to be shut down! There is also the issue of raw materials. In the past, match factories needed a lot of timber and other chemical raw materials from other places, but once they were blocked, the inventory did not last long, and the local production was not enough for production. According to the output of our salt company, it also needs to be exported in large quantities. Without a market, the local area does not consume as much salt. According to this year's tobacco planting area, if we underwrite, this year's tobacco also needs to be sold in the market. Of course, if a British and American company comes to snap up the purchase, we don't need to worry about it. Li Shuchun glanced at Zhou Bai. In his planning, the estimated output value of these factories is good, but they can't be sold, where does the output value come from?

"Although the west and south have now opened up contact with the outside world, the army is at war, and such a transport cannot be transported out on a large scale without the escort of the army! This month, more than 30 cases of small-scale transportation were robbed, and more than one million were lost. Moreover, the 14th Division of the Kou Kou had already attacked to the south, and we could not control the west of the canal, the roads were not smooth, and it was difficult to transport goods out. Li Shuchun added that even when the devils were blockaded, small-scale underground activities continued, but as soon as the army fought, these were cut off.

Zhou Bai had also worried about the problem of transportation channels, but Meng Xiang gave him a confident signal that he didn't have to worry too much about the external channels when making plans. At this time, seeing Li Shuchun asking this question, Zhou Bai couldn't help but look at Meng Xiang.

Although Meng Xiang didn't speak much, it was not an ornament to sit there, and he said directly: "We are setting up a transportation company, and in a few days, this company can provide safe cargo transportation guarantees." In addition, the next step is to expand the postal business and set up a courier company. ”

Chen Ergou touched the letter in his arms and approached the Jinan branch of Taiping Bank.

"Excuse me, are you depositing or withdrawing money?" After seeing it, Cai Pu, the service manager in the lobby, hurriedly greeted him and asked cordially. Being polite to customers is one of the most basic requirements for Taiping Bank employees.

"I want to get some money!" Chen Ergou said as he handed over his red-skinned hard-shelled soldier card.

Cai Pu didn't answer, but just led him to the counter, and Wu Zhongxun behind the iron fence picked him up and began to compare.

"A G1200371." Wu Zhongxun carefully checked the imprints on it.

The number on the soldier's card is unique, at this point there are only seven digits. The armor g in the front represents Chen Ergou's class as an army sniper, and the 12 in the back represents the training camp number, and there are more detailed records of each soldier in the training camp. 00371 is the specific number of Chen Ergou in the training camp.

This number is only the initial number, and this will change as the Vanguard continues to expand. But it is enough to have a control number at this point.

Wu Zhongxun looked at Chen Ergou, the year of birth below was 1919, and he was only 19 years old, but the rank behind him was already a second lieutenant. This is completely in exchange for Chen Ergou's exploits in killing 11 devils.

Comparing the photos, it was indeed him.

Wu Zhongxun asked, "How much are you going to take?" ”

Chen Ergou pondered for a moment and said, "50 oceans." ”

Wu Zhongxun pointed to a black machine next to him and said, "Enter your password here!" ”

This is a mechanical cipher machine, produced by the base, but Meng Xiang used it in the bank, entered the account number, and then entered the password. If it does, there will be a ringtone behind it. It's just that because the Chinese characters can't be entered, I have to temporarily cancel the first character in front of it. Anyway, the seven digits at the back are exactly the same as the password, and it should be said that there are almost none.

“g12371。” Chen Ergou entered the six digits on his soldier's ID card that were easy to remember. When the bell rang, Wu Zhongxun nodded and handed over the documents to Yang 78 on the opposite side.

With the expansion of the economic field, the sheep warriors were assigned to various financial positions. They all have rudimentary financial knowledge and can work as senior accountants after being trained at the base. However, the number of training places is limited, and there are only a few sheep warriors trained, and the rest mainly rely on the loyalty and rigor of the clones to oversee the operation of the entire financial situation.

Yang 78 carefully checked it, confirmed that there was no problem, and nodded. From the wooden drawer next to it, he took out a letter of the ocean. After confirming it, he handed it to Wu Zhongxun.

Wu Zhongxun also confirmed the 50 pieces of ocean in this envelope and was about to hand it over. Cai Pu next to him interjected and asked: "Sir, are you using it for your own use or sending money?" ”

"Send money home." Chen Ergou touched the family book and said, his father was sick, and the family had been out of food for more than a month at this time. This is still a month ago, in a letter to the family.

Cai Pu said with a smile: "Sir, if you want to send money, you might as well use the bank's money order business to send money directly to your doorstep from near your hometown through the courier company's email." Next to it, we have a counter in cooperation with the pioneer express company run by the Pioneer Army, which can deliver your money to your family as quickly as possible. ”

Chen Ergou looked at a green counter next to it, where a big 7, a turtle and a running rabbit were drawn.

"Domestic mail and remittances, we promise to deliver within seven days." The service staff there saw Chen Ergou's gaze and came over to explain.

"Seven days?" Chen Ergou thought about it, seven days was already very fast. I originally planned to ask someone to bring the money back, but at this time, it is much more convenient to use this courier and that email.

"Yes!" Chen Ergou nodded and said, in the name of Tianping Bank and Pioneer Express, this is even more heart-warming, "Then I'll take a hundred yuan in the ocean." ”

"Okay, you'll have a reply in seven days, you can come and check it out then!" Cai Pu said with a smile.

It was precisely because of the soldiers' complaints about the inconvenience of family letters and remittances that Meng Xiang had the plan to establish a courier company. The postal company, the top is very strict. Meng Xiang was not easy to meddle in, so he had to start from scratch and establish a pioneer express company. The turtle on the top represents safety, and the rabbit represents speed. Although the story of the tortoise and rabbit race is unknown to most Chinese people at this time, this does not affect Meng Xiang's enthusiasm.
