MTL - Iron Armored City-Chapter 293 Castle Coin

"I want to open several grocery stores in Iron Armored City." Li Yinguang said.

Alma froze for a moment, then nodded flatly: "Okay, what did you ask me to do?" It seemed that she wasn't too surprised when Li Yinguang said that she wanted to open a store.

Li Yinguang laughed dryly, everyone has seen the shortcoming in the emotional armored city, but he didn't notice it.

Looking up at Bai Youxuan, maybe if she didn't remind herself, maybe in a few days, various grocery stores would appear in Iron Armored City.

The low-level slaves, coolies, and ordinary people can't handle these things, but for the veterans in the Iron Armored City of the Old Castle, it is very easy to find a place, find two people, get some supplies, and open a grocery store.

Everyone sees business opportunities differently, but one thing is for sure, if he can do it, then I can do it, and if everyone does it, there will be vicious competition, and when Li Yinguang wants to intervene again , to intervene again, or to take back the authority, it is necessary to negotiate with these elders, and it will never be as easy and simple as it is now.

"You are the housekeeper in Iron Armored City, if I don't ask you to come here, who is it!" Li Yinguang replied with a smile.

Walking to the bottom of the bilge, although Li Yinguang sometimes came down in the past, he definitely never stayed at the bilge for too long.

The lowest level of Iron Armored City is divided into work area, research and development area, power area (smelting furnace area), combat area and other areas.

Among the thousands of grassroots personnel, at least 80% work at the grassroots level on a daily basis.

"Stop, it's you!"

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

The coolie was stunned, knelt down on the ground, and loudly argued with a mournful face: "City Lord, the villain has never stolen anything!"

Li Yinguang: "..."

Puchi, Lan Ling, who was standing behind him, couldn't help laughing out loud. Li Yinguang stared fiercely at him, and his smile was so frightened that he retracted his smile.

"stand up!"

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

Probably afraid that the other party didn't understand what I meant, he interrupted randomly, explaining: "Aren't you paid every month? I plan to open a few shops, but I don't know what you want to buy. Tell me, you Or among your co-workers, what do you most want to buy?"

The coolie raised his hand and scratched his head, and smiled awkwardly at Li Yinguang: "I... want to buy some wine, I heard that after drinking that kind of thing, you can forget all the worries in your mind before and now."

"want to drink?"

Li Yinguang frowned, looked at him and asked curiously: "What worries do you have, tell the city lord first, if you convince the city lord, even if there is no wine for sale, I will reward you with a bottle!"

The other party grinned honestly and said: "It's nothing, my best brother died in battle last night, his head was shot off, and he just didn't sew up a face."

There is sadness and loneliness in the eyes, and there is no deception 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 and Rattan Wine'."

"Go ahead!"

"yes!"

The coolie breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and walked away quickly.

Li Yinguang looked at the back of the other party, and said calmly: "These are loyal soldiers who have shed blood for the Iron Armored City of the Ancient Castle. Let's count how many are the first survivors, and how many are people who followed from the town of Mambach. Among these people, if they have slave status, all slave status will be cancelled, and the status of residents of the Castle will be issued, and employees and ordinary personnel will be promoted to 'citizens'."

He paused for a while, thought for a while, and then said: "The salary level has been promoted to three levels, and you can enjoy the privileges of the loyalty level in the Iron Armored City of the Ancient Castle!"

No one objected, because there were not many people left alive in the iron-clad city of the ancient castle from the very beginning. Even if the recruits were recruited from the town of Mambach, it is estimated that there were not two or three hundred people. Most of the rest were recruited from the Guifeng Mountain mining area, and some were from the former No. 5 armored city of the Mambach family.

If the Iron Armored City is destroyed, at least 80% of the people in the Iron Armored City will be killed or injured, so their fate is tied to the Iron Armored City where they are located.

It's a time of troubled times, and human life is worthless. In many cases, you can't follow whoever you want, and you can do whatever you want. Destiny is not controlled by individuals.

"Alcohol can't be circulated casually in the iron-clad city of the Old Castle. Whether it's a lower-level coolie or a middle- and upper-level manager, if there are no special circumstances, drink alcohol at will. Alcoholics will be severely punished. Lan Ling is your responsibility. For management, a supervisory brigade in Ironclad City will be established from now on, and the authority level of the supervisory team leader is tentatively set at level two, in charge of issues such as the daily style of personnel in Ironclad City, from the elders down to the ordinary slaves and coolies, all within the scope of supervision."

Li Yinguang said with a serious face.

In the past, there were hundreds or thousands of people, but now there are thousands of people. In the future, the number of people will definitely increase. Alcohol is good, but it will also cause trouble. Guifeng Mountain was attacked by Liegen because it lowered its vigilance Sex, so, if you want to survive in this weird and dangerous world of steampunk, you can't be easy at any time.

The alcohol prohibition order was also the first hard prohibition issued by Li Yinguang after the Iron Armored City of the Ancient Castle was upgraded to a 'third-rate'.

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

Drinking is a mistake, so it is banned, but smoking is within the controllable range, and there is no need to ban it. Almost every region has plants similar to tobacco. These plants are cheap. Although smoking for a long time is harmful to health, it can be cured for a short time Ingestion has the effect of refreshing the brain and refreshing the mind, and is very popular among ordinary people.

Among the bilge coolie layer, at least 80% smoke.

As a man, Li Yinguang can understand this point. Prohibition of drinking and smoking will drive people crazy. Alcohol is an expensive resource. Even if it is banned, the opposition of ordinary people in Iron Armored City will not be too strong, but smoking ban is not enough .

"Set up a special cigarette workshop to mass-produce finished cigarettes and purchase them in a unified manner. In the future, the 'Gubao' brand cigarettes will be sold as commodities in 'specialized stores'. The price of each box is tentatively set at 25 copper bull coins!"

Li Yinguang thought for a while and then said: "No one is allowed to buy tobacco products from outsiders for the people in Iron Armor City. What you bought before can be smoked, but you are not allowed to buy any more in the future. In the future, tobacco will be unified by the tobacco monopoly department of Iron Armor City. Sale supply.

In addition to the "Golden Castle" cigarettes that can be purchased in "tobacco franchise stores", in the monthly employee benefits, each person is issued a box of "Golden Castle" cigarettes every five days. Twenty-five ancient castle coins are recovered.

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

Bai Youxuan, who was following behind, couldn't help but her eyes lit up. She didn't expect Li Yinguang to be so happy and straightforward. Not only did he issue a ban on alcohol, but he also controlled the production and sales of "tobacco" in the shortest possible time. There are so many smokers in Iron Armored City. , so the profits of cigarettes will be huge.

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

Basically, the minimum monthly salary of ordinary personnel is about 800 copper bull coins. There is a canteen in Iron Armored City, and there is no need to worry about three meals a day. A set of uniforms and uniforms will be issued every month, and weapons and ammunition for armed personnel are also available. All provided by Iron Armored City.

Even if you live in the iron-clad city of the ancient castle, even if you have no income, you can still meet your basic daily needs.

And the daily salaries basically have no place to spend them!

If Li Yinguang stuck in the opening of the 'cigarette' franchise in Iron Armored City, it would be equivalent to finding an outlet for the 'salary' to release the flood.

Not satisfied?

Why are you dissatisfied? In the Iron Armored City, you will be provided with food and drink, and you will be paid a salary. Which Iron Armored City outside has such a good salary?

And in the employee benefits, six packs of cigarettes are provided every month, and those who don’t smoke can also exchange them for ‘Gubao coins’ to store tokens, which means that there is no charge, and on the contrary, their salary has been indirectly increased.

As for those who feel that it is not enough, either restrain yourself, 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 coin or the copper bull coin issued in the past, or the "castle coin" that will be issued in the future, it will flow and will not become a decoration at the bottom of the box.

Li Yinguang looked at Alma and said, "From now on, you will be in charge of the production and franchise of 'tobacco'. People in the city can enter the store to buy, but only use 'Castle Coins' for consumption.

Military Adviser Youxuan opened an exchange bank in Iron Armored City of the Ancient Castle, allowing residents and employees in the city to exchange silver bull coins and copper bull coins into 'Ancient Castle Coins'. The exchange rate is one to one, and each copper bull coin can be exchanged for into a castle coin.

In the future, the ‘Castle Coin’ will also be issued as salary. If someone needs to leave or go shopping outside, the exchange bank will also be responsible for exchanging the Castle Coin into external currencies such as Silver Bull Coins and Copper Bull Coins. "

Bai Youxuan hurriedly said: "Yes, arrange someone to do it right away!"

With the exchange bank, there is also a "castle currency" consumption place. In the future, the salaries of the personnel in the ancient castle will be replaced by "castle currency".

The benefits are obvious. The 'Castle Coin' is a token produced by the Iron Armored City of the Citadel, so you can produce as much as you want, which is equivalent to 'printing money' to pay your salary.

"Tobacco franchise, Gubao coins, exchange banks and grocery stores should be put on the agenda immediately, and the things that can be done today should not be postponed until tomorrow!" Li Yinguang said solemnly.
