    "Bang bang bang!" "Bang bang bang!" "Open the door quickly!" "Open the door quickly! We want to buy food!" Outside the gate of Hongyun Grain Store, there is now a huge crowd, and a large number of people have packed the place.  "When people learned that all grain stores had stopped trading grains, there was no need for anyone to push for it, and panic spread uncontrollably.  People who have just experienced warlord melee certainly know the importance of food. As the saying goes, food is the first necessity for the people.  This sentence is definitely not empty talk in troubled times. Sometimes without food, no matter how much money you have, it will be of no use.  So people took out their savings one after another, and then waved a lot of money and surrounded various grain stores, demanding that the grain stores open stores to sell grain.  "But the big bosses of those grain stores also knew that the situation was bad after receiving notification from MI5. Now let alone the 98th Army not allowing them to sell grain.  Even if the 98th Army allows them to sell food, they may not be willing to sell food.  Hoarding is like nature, and it has been completely integrated into the character of these grain merchants.  So those grain merchants all closed their doors tightly, and at the same time sent their clerks to say to the people outside: "The 98th Army just issued an order. Due to the trouble caused by Japanese agents, all grain transactions have been temporarily suspended." After listening to his words, no one can buy grain.  Instead, people became even more panicked.  They were beating on the door of the grain store one after another, demanding that the store open its doors to sell grain.  Some excited ones were already looking for things everywhere and were ready to smash the door of the grain store.  See here.  The guys at the grain store were so frightened that they quickly picked up their things and blocked the door of the grain store.  ¡°However, there are also some smart-minded people among them. They quickly put their ideas elsewhere and began to scan major stores for goods.  They sold out all the soy sauce, salt, and vinegar. Some people even started running to the surrounding countryside to buy food before the news spread.  But more people were still crowded at the door of the grain store with anxious faces.  I hope grain stores can open warehouses to store grain.  Lao Zhangtou was watching all this with a proud look on his face. He laughed and said to his wife: "Honey, how was my performance today? It's not bad." Of course his wife knew what he was talking about. If  If Lao Zhang hadn't been smart and asked Xiao Li to deliver 10 bags of grain to their family today, maybe they would have blocked the door of the grain store with those people.  So his wife could only laugh and curse and said: "I'll give it to you." And Lao Zhangtou grinned happily.  At this time, a young man who had just arrived saw their roujiamo stall and ran over quickly and said: "How much food do you have here? I want them all." "Sorry, we are closed today."  Lao Zhangtou pointed to a closed sign next to him and said.  "How can you be like this? Now it's not even 3 o'clock and you have closed down your business? Who are you fooling? I think you are planning to hoard Qiqi, you profiteer." After listening to his words, Lao Zhangtou  I couldn't help but be so angry that my mouth was filled with smoke.  ¡°He has lived for so many years, but he has never been scolded like this before.  ¡°And without him, there¡¯s no telling how much food those Japanese spies would have bought, but now he is being slandered like this.  "Boy, if you have the guts, say it again. Do you believe it or not, I'm going to beat you up." Lao Zhang rolled up his sleeves and said, and after speaking, he was going to raise his arm and hit him.  See here.  The young man was still very unconvinced and was about to argue with him.  At this moment, a large number of fully armed soldiers suddenly rushed over from the other side of the street, and the sound of neat footsteps attracted the attention of everyone here.  Even Lao Zhangtou and the young man were no exception. They also stopped their movements and looked here.  "Stay back! Everyone, move back!!" Soon the soldiers rushed to the door of the grain store and isolated the people from the grain store.  When the common people saw these wolf-like soldiers, they quickly retreated.  Soon several soldiers came out and posted a notice in front of the grain store.  Then a platoon leader stood up and said loudly: "Fathers and fellow villagers of Jiyuan. According to the intelligence we just received, a large number of Japanese spies have come to us in the past few days with the legal currency they snatched from the occupied areas to buy food and various supplies.  , so we need to suspend grain trading for one day. We apologize for the inconvenience.?.  " "But don't worry, our military has already started to purchase food from other places.  We will definitely open grain trading to everyone in three days. At that time, everyone can buy as much grain as they want.  "    "no!  I will buy it today!  My family has no food left!  I still don¡¯t know how hungry my mother-in-law will be in three days.  "At this time, a man who looked a little slovenly shouted loudly. "It's not impossible to buy food in the past three days.  "The platoon leader gave him a cold look. "Just bring your household registration book and go to the county government with your security chief. There will be a grain sales point there soon.  There you can buy enough food to last your whole family for half a month.  "After hearing his words, many people breathed a sigh of relief. Their purpose was simple, that is, to buy food. Now that there is a place to sell food, they are relieved. "What about three days later?  How should we buy food in three days?  "One of the people asked. "We will put up a special notice to inform everyone in three days.  "The platoon leader said. "What should outsiders do if they want to eat?  " "Outsiders can go to the police station to apply for a temporary residence permit with the local director. After applying for the temporary residence permit, they can buy food with the temporary residence permit. However, they can only buy half a month's worth of food within these three days.  See the notice for what happens in three days.  "The platoon leader said again. Although the platoon leader has already given a very clear answer, there will never be a shortage of people with ulterior motives in this world. Soon a person got the signal from others. Then he said loudly: "He is deceiving us.  Don't believe what he says.  "The platoon leader sneered, then pointed in one direction and said: "Catch the man wearing the black hat and the white undershirt.  " Soon several soldiers rushed into the crowd to arrest the man. Seeing these soldiers, some people were so frightened that they quickly gave way to the road, and the man wearing a black hat was immediately exposed. "Recently in our county  Japanese spies are very rampant. I suspect that this person is a Japanese spy, so I need him to go back and cooperate with the investigation.  "The platoon leader said with a sneer. After hearing his words, everyone couldn't help but feel a chill. They opened their mouths and put a Japanese spy hat on someone. This platoon leader was really cruel. The man soon felt uncomfortable.  Wonderful, so he squeezed hard into the crowd and shouted: "The soldiers are beating people!"  Soldiers are beating people up!  !  Everyone, please help!  " After hearing what he said, some people in the crowd immediately started making noises and said, "Why do you soldiers arrest people?  You can't arrest people without evidence!  !  "    "That's right!  Your 98th Army is too domineering!  Even if they don't let us buy food, they don't even let us speak.  We want human rights!  We want freedom!  " After hearing what he said, some people's expressions immediately changed. They backed away desperately, then kept a considerable distance from them, and then looked at those people with incredible eyes. It was as if they were looking at a group of idiots.  Their looks immediately made those with ulterior motives feel that something was wrong. Did they do something wrong? The platoon leader did not speak out immediately, but only after seeing that all the people who should jump out jumped out.  He said, "Grab the man wearing a gray coat and a trousers on his back.  " "The man wearing a black coat with a middle parted hair" "That" After hearing his words, the soldiers rushed in one after another, and then arrested all those named by the platoon leader. Everyone  There was an expression on his face. What is Lu Mingxuan¡¯s background? He¡¯s a bandit! You¡¯re asking for human rights and freedom from the bandits! ¡°Sir, there¡¯s this guy, too,¡± he said.  "Lao Zhangtou grabbed a person next to him and said. The man's face immediately changed, and then he tried desperately to throw away his hand and escape. But Lao Zhangtou quickly twisted his arm back, and then shook his surroundings  The people all pushed him to the ground. Looking at the excited old man, the platoon leader finally showed a smile in a conference room of the 98th Army.  . Lu Mingxuan, Zhang Yushu, Zhang Boya, Zhang Qinglian and other senior officials of the 98th Army were gathering together to discuss what happened today.Things.  "Everyone must know what happened today. The Japanese sent a large number of cannon fodder to us with the legal currency they collected to buy food and some livelihood supplies. As a result, our food in Jiyuan has almost been sold out." Lu Mingxuan watched.  He said to them with a gloomy look.  This matter has basically been identified. The legal currencies used by the suspicious elements were all issued 37 years ago. Therefore, it can be basically judged that this is a financial attack launched by the Japanese against the 98th Army.  "We have taken emergency measures to temporarily ban any grain trade. But this is not a long-term solution. I would like to ask everyone what you think about this matter." Although Lu Mingxuan's face did not look good, he knew about it.  At most, it can only cause a little trouble to the 98th Army, but it cannot damage the foundation of the 98th Army.  First of all, those grain merchants can use the legal currency they obtained to purchase grain from other places. This grain shortage will be solved soon, but it will take some time.  In addition, the 98th Army had a large amount of grain reserves. At the beginning of the arms trade between the 98th Army and the Kuomintang, Lu Mingxuan sent Zhang Boya to Guangzhou and Hong Kong to purchase large quantities of foreigners' grain.  And he has millions of dollars in silk stocking income every month, a large part of which he also uses to buy food.  Now he has accumulated enough food to feed an army of one million people for at least several years.  ¡°And all this food was reserved by him as military ration, and it did not flow to the market at all.  As long as he is willing to release some food, this crisis can definitely be easily overcome.  But if he did this, he would suffer a big loss.  This made him a little unwilling.  ¡°I think a checkpoint should be set up at the border to prohibit any grain outflow. All grain is only allowed to enter Jiyuan and cannot flow out.¡± Zhang Yushu said first.  "This is a very good idea, I think it can be adopted." Lu Mingxuan nodded and said.  "How about implementing a material rationing system?" Zhang Qinglian thought for a while and said. ??????????????????????????? Lu Mingxuan couldn't help frowning, but finally he shook his head.  "This approach can only be used as our last resort. If it is not a last resort, we should not implement this approach, because this approach will do too much harm to the economy." "I think this is both a crisis and  It¡¯s an opportunity.¡± At this time, Zhang Boya stood up and said.  "How do you say this?" Lu Mingxuan asked.  ¡°I think we can take this opportunity to issue our currency.¡± Zhang Boya said.  After listening to his words, Lu Mingxuan could not help but smile.  It¡¯s true that heroes think alike!  "Can the people accept our currency? And I'm afraid the central government will not allow us to issue currency without authorization." Zhang Qinglian first objected.  No responsible government will allow the people below to issue their own currency.  Because this behavior is almost indistinguishable from rebellion.  "Why don't you tell Mr. Zhang what you think." Lu Mingxuan said.  ¡°I think we can use the ocean as a reserve and issue currency at a ratio of 1:1. During this period, in order for people to believe that our currency is strong enough, we must allow our currency to be freely convertible with the ocean. As long as  People find that our currency can be freely exchanged for oceans, and I believe people will be willing to accept our currency. " "Although we allow people to exchange our currency for oceans, we absolutely do not allow oceans to circulate on the market. The reason why we allow it.  They are freely convertible. On the one hand, it is to make them believe that our currency is strong, and on the other hand, it is for our people to spend abroad.¡±  The people here all looked thoughtful.  "There can only be one kind of currency circulating in our market, and that is the currency issued by ourselves. Any use of other currencies to circulate in our county, including the ocean, is illegal." "Actually, I only have one idea, and that is to pass the law  Free convertibility makes people believe that our currency is strong, and then enforces the use of our currency through administrative means to allow our currency to circulate. "There is a very critical issue now, and that is whether our ocean reserves are sufficient."  Hearing this, everyone looked at Lu Mingxuan.  A smile gradually appeared on Lu Mingxuan's face: "Don't worry about this, our ocean reserves are absolutely sufficient. So far, we have 50 million oceans. ShouldIt is completely enough to pay for the current situation.  Moreover, part of our transactions with the Germans are paid in silver, and we can use all that silver to issue currency.  "Of course it is impossible for Lu Mingxuan to settle all transactions with the Germans in Marks. Except for part of them that are settled in silver and Marks, most of them are settled in U.S. dollars. "Lu Mingxuan considered that he could get most of the money.  Exchange it for silver in the international market to prepare for the issuance of your own currency. ¡°Okay, this matter is settled. I will design and issue a set of currencies in the shortest possible time.  So let¡¯s improve this plan next.  As for the pressure from the central government, I will handle it.  " Lu Mingxuan said. "We have a 22nd century 3D printer. Of course there is no problem in printing some banknotes that cannot be imitated in this world. Of course, in fact, he has also thought of other ways, such as using future generations of cloth stamps, food stamps, etc. to control the economy.  But considering that these were too harmful to the economy and there was no such thing as issuing currency, he finally gave up on them all. ¡°What should outsiders do if they want to buy our commercial equipment?  "Jiang Mengyun said. "I think it should" So soon people here began to work hard to improve this plan.
