Chapter 148 Prosperity Chasing Light

  After finalizing issues such as currency policy and face value, Tang Zheng didn't go to eat right away.

  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, so it is closer to the bank and the transportation is relatively convenient.

   Another five hundred thousand gold was thrown out, and the construction of the banknote printing factory was completed.

  However, there are more employees here than banks, with a total of 300 people.

  Among them, 100 are security guards in the factory, and 100 are conscripts.

  However, they still do not occupy the establishment of the Chasing Light Army, but are only responsible for defending the banknote printing factory.

  The remaining 200 people are all workers except for a few high-level employees.

   From drawing, finalizing, printing, reviewing, cutting, semi-finished products to finished products, each process is in charge of each process.

  There are eleven printing workshops and one coin making workshop in the whole factory.

  The eleven printing workshops correspond to the printing of eleven banknotes ranging from one thousand to one cent.

   Coins are relatively simple, you only need to make one type of coin.

  After Tang Zheng completed the construction, the people in the printing factory will start work.

  Qi Zhengyang's work efficiency was astonishingly high, so Tang Zheng had just completed the construction, and the patterns of the sample coins were produced there.

  Seeing that the banknote printing factory started, Tang Zheng didn't eat at all, and just waited patiently here for the first set of sample coins to appear.

  Through the electronic screen here, he can clearly see the whole process of currency making.

  Looking at the coins made according to his own ideas, Tang Zheng felt very satisfied.

   After about twenty minutes, the first set of currency was finished.

   Each edition is made of 10,000 sheets, a total of more than 100,000 coins, and 10,000 coins.

   "General, it's done, please take a look."

  Bundles of brand-new banknotes were placed in front of Tang Zheng's eyes, making him a little dazzled.

  He first took out one of the 1,000 yuan and picked it up to check.

   It is a little surprising that the banknote still has some weight, and the paper is quite thick.

  1,000 yuan is a large banknote with the largest area.

  The front is what Tang Zheng requested, the panoramic picture of Chasing Light City.

  The big city under the mountain, the river meanders, and the banners on the top of the city are flying, which gives a sense of the vastness of the world.

  The words of Zhuguang Bank above are in italics, and the coins appear golden as a whole.

  The back is the panorama of Chasing Light Bank.

  There are also points touched by blind people on the top, rubbing with hands, there is a sense of bumps and a strong three-dimensional effect.

   Shaking in the wind, the currency rattled and was very strong.

At this time, Li Changjun, the director of the new banknote printing factory, said to Tang Zheng: "General, according to your requirements, our money is made of high-end, and the paper is also mixed with anti-acid technology and waterproof technology. Normally, a banknote is frequently used. The lifespan is also more than ten years."

   Tang Zheng nodded in satisfaction: "Good job, what about anti-counterfeiting?"

  "Anti-counterfeiting is easier. You must know that the production of banknotes is first of all paper. No one can imitate our paper, let alone other processes."

   "Very good, I am very satisfied."

   Tang Zheng looked at the other banknotes again, the silver 300 yuan banknotes, the purple 100 yuan banknotes and so on.

   After reading these, he looked at the one-cent banknotes and coins.

  Behind the penny, Big Smart and Little Pretty are photographed vividly, with their tongues sticking out very cute.

  Actually, Tang Zheng originally wanted to film Tangtang, but he didn't want to expose Tangtang's existence yet, so he could only postpone this issue for the time being.

  The current edition is only the first edition of banknotes, and there will still be opportunities in the future.

   Wait until the situation stabilizes, and then release the second and third sets.

   And there are coins.

  Tang Zheng picked up a coin, weighed it with his hand, it was neither light nor heavy, it was more appropriate to hold it for playing.

  The process of gold-plated brass makes this coin look like a gold coin.

  Tang Zheng picked it up and blew on it with his mouth, and there was a pleasant buzzing sound inside the coin.

   "It's not bad, it seems that many people will get used to playing with a coin in the future."

  After seeing all the money, Tang Zheng was about to leave, Li Changjun immediately said: "General, the money is yours, take it away."

   "Oh? How is it mine?"

"General, this first set of Guangyuan, the first edition, is the most precious. Look at the number, from 1 to 10,000. This edition is only worthy of you. I can say this. The value of this set of currency here is at least five times the value of his own!"

  Tang Zheng was also slightly taken aback when he heard this, he never thought that this coin would have such a high collection value.

  Aside from other things, the 10,000 sheets of 1,000 light yuan are worth 10 million in themselves, and if they are multiplied five times after one year, wouldn't they be 50 million.

  With the little money in my hand, it won’t be a problem to sell it for 300 to 500 million 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 fully fired, and those who worked overtime began to produce new currencies.

  After the bank's research, Qi Zhengyang reported to Tang Zheng that the total amount of printing of the first batch of currency was three billion.

   Of course, these 3 billion are not many, but this is only the first batch, and it is invested in the market to test the waters.

  Tang Zheng agreed to this request and asked the bank to do it as soon as possible.

  After that, Qi Zhengyang also asked to open a branch savings institution in the prosperous area of ​​Zhuguang City and recruit staff at the same time.

   Tang Zheng also approved, and asked Qi Zhengyang to choose the site by himself.

  Printing banknotes is only the first step, and there is still a lot of new work to be done in Chasing Light City.

  First of all, the points system is cancelled, and the points are exchanged for currency in proportion.

  The original points are exchanged according to the ratio of three to one, and three points are exchanged for one light yuan.

  Originally, one kilogram of food could be exchanged for one point, but now three kilograms of food can be exchanged for one light yuan.

  Before, there were gasoline, gold and other materials, which could also be exchanged for points, and now they are all exchanged for Guangyuan.

  The detailed pricing is made by the Ministry of the Interior, which is more in line with the current actual situation in Zhuguang City.

  Of course, this price is not static, and market laws are always in operation.

  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 another day after the end of the world began, the sky was still gray, but with the arrival of autumn, the rain gradually decreased.

   He even said that it hadn’t rained for almost 20 days, but it was frost once.

  In the early morning, the residents of Chasing Light City got up and prepared to start a new day of work.

   There are many jobs in Zhuguang City, but there are too many people. Since the people from the Peninsula Base joined, the total number of people in Zhuguang City has exceeded 600,000!

  This number has already exceeded the total number of the twelve bases of the alliance.

   But even in Chasing Light City, it is impossible for people to do nothing for free.

  There are many professions now, and people with guns will organize to collect supplies, that is, the team of adventurers, which is relatively profitable.

  And when the team of adventurers grows bigger, it may become a mercenary group, which is the most profitable.

However, no matter whether you are an adventurer or a mercenary, ordinary people can't do it. Without certain military skills, no knowledge of wild survival, no strong physique and combat effectiveness, no enough courage and care, doing this industry is basically to die .

  The rest, those 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 worked in the medical industry, can go to Zhuguang Hospital.

  For example, those who have studied accounting and bookkeeping before, have done statistical work, and those who have done interpretation work can go to the trading floor to apply.

  Anyone who can drive and can afford a car can be a driver.

   With particularly good physical strength, you can work as a stevedore, loading and unloading for the adventurer team.

   Those who have been engaged in the construction industry, now the urban construction of Zhuguang City is blooming everywhere, and there are also jobs for them.

   Those who are particularly good at cooking open restaurants, and some handicraft practitioners go to set up stalls.

  Some weak women do not have any special skills. If they are beautiful, they will even choose to sell their bodies. This kind of thing is now happening in Chasing Light City.

   But there are more ordinary people, they can't find any jobs, and their lives are very difficult.

   These people usually choose to go near the trading floor, because there are many people here and it is easy to find work.

  So every day when the trading floor opens, people flock here, looking for business opportunities, or waiting for a boss to hire them, and there are even people holding signs here, who can help queue up to handle business.

  This morning was no exception. Before the trading hall opened, the square outside the door was crowded with tens of thousands of people.

  The staff of the Interior Department of Zhuguang City entered through the back door, ready to start their day's work.

   Security guards opened the doors to the trading floor, and people swarmed in.

  After entering the door, many people who hang out here every day feel different.

  There are many large showcases around the trading hall, where materials are sold and purchased.

  The large screen in the hall continued to have scrolling subtitles.

   This subtitle can be posted by the Light Chasing Army, and other people can also post it, as long as they spend a certain amount of points.

  But today is indeed different.

  Because there are too many products.

  Brand-new cars are displayed in rows in a corner of the hall, and there are many expensive models before the end of the world.

  Life-saving medicines that were rarely seen in the past are now on sale, including cold medicine, anti-inflammatory medicine, healing medicine, antibiotics, cough and asthma medicine, and even first-aid kits.

  Weapon Showcase Here, heavy machine guns, military jeeps, grenades, etc. are all on the shelves.

   Even on the shelves of the trading floor, some products that were not there before appeared.

  Mutated animal meat, many people know about this stuff, eating it can strengthen the body, but currently survivors are generally hard-pressed, and only those rich and powerful adventurers and mercenaries who often travel outside can enjoy it.

   This is not unusual, but another thing is too shocking.

  In a place surrounded by a fence, there is a hexagonal glass showcase.

  Inside the showcase, there is a syringe with a light blue liquid inside.

  Beside the display cabinet, there are guards armed with live ammunition from soldiers of the Chasing Light Army. People can only look at it from the outside, but they cannot go inside to touch it.

  There is an introduction next to it, with some jaw-dropping text written.

  【Antiviral Serum: It can resist zombie virus, effective within 30 minutes after infection, and lasts for 48 hours. 】
