They could actually earn points by improving the living standards of the people in the Citadel?
That was easy!
The next construction goal was to directly supply water and electricity, and build a new village. In terms of living materials, Su Yang could also produce them through factories.
Originally, this construction goal was the ultimate goal. However, in the environment where the Japanese invaded China, it was not the main conflict, but a secondary conflict.
Building a country and letting the people live a good life could only be achieved after the invaders were driven out. Before that, they had to give way to the war, so the conflict became irreconcilable.
The system's point acquisition mechanism solved this conflict. This allowed Su Yang to improve the living standards of the people while fighting the war. This was because improving the living standards of the people could earn points, which would allow them to better fight against the Japanese pirates.
At the same time, the points obtained from the expansion of the base also solved Su Yang's urgent need.
He earned 82,100 points in one wave, and the points in Su Yang's hands directly exceeded 100,000 points.
Moreover, there was an additional low-level bullet production equipment in the system. That was the equipment for assembling bullets by hand. This was the lowest level of production.
"F * ck, does this system have to be so extreme? I can only buy advanced military production equipment from the 21st century or the lowest level of manual production equipment. Give me a cheaper semi-automatic production line!”Su Yang couldn't help but complain. The reason why the bullet production equipment was so expensive was mainly because the equipment was too advanced. A fully automatic thing didn't require many workers at all, but it didn't seem necessary.
However, the system was forcing him to buy such high-level military equipment. It was simply ridiculous.
This time, he was given a set of low-level manual bullet assembly equipment. Su Yang opened the system and found that these manual bullet assembly equipment were extremely cheap.
A production facility that could produce 6 million bullets per month only cost 10,000 points.
The disadvantage of this kind of thing was that the bullets were assembled manually and then processed by the equipment. The production efficiency was very low and required a large number of workers.
However, the advantage was that production could be distributed to every village and every household. With all the processes combined, a single worker could produce about 100 bullets a day.
With the labor force of 2000 workers, they could produce 6 million bullets a month.
"The problem of the bullets can finally be solved.”Su Yang immediately bought two sets of handmade bullet production equipment happily and spent 20,000 points.
Then, they quickly built the factory and contracted the process of loading the bullets to the people in the towns. The housewives could load the bullets at home. After filling it up, he would collect it and carry out the subsequent manual processing.
The production of bullets was a good way to mobilize idle labor. Women did not need to leave their homes to participate in military production.
Two sets of hand-made bullet production equipment could produce 12 million bullets a month. It took up about 4000 people's labor force, and all of them could be produced by women.
However, with so many people producing bullets, they could not let the commoners work for nothing!
Su Yang used to give silver coins to the factory workers, but now he found that this primitive economic model could no longer be carried out.
He had to re-design the economic operation system of the base.
Therefore, Su Yang immediately convened a committee meeting to discuss a new economic operation plan with a group of landowners and squires who participated in the management of the committee.
"The situation we are facing now is quite serious. On the one hand, we don't produce cotton here, which is the material we lack the most. Therefore, we have to concentrate the use of silver, gold, and other precious metals. Therefore, the base had to issue paper money and completely stop the use of precious metals. They would gather the precious metals and use them to buy food, cotton, and other materials.”Su Yang said to the members of the committee.
"Secondly, after the paper money is issued, we must be able to redeem the corresponding goods in order to maintain our credibility. From this point of view, the most important things in the daily life of the common people were nothing more than food, salt, cotton, and various industrial and daily necessities. We can currently guarantee the production of industrial and daily necessities. In the future, we will continue to produce various industrial commodities. But in terms of food, we must ensure that every citizen in the base has enough to eat. Therefore, we have to gather all the commercial grain and let the temporary government of the base sell it.”
As soon as Su Yang said this, the group of landowners and squires discussed animatedly.
They understood what the chairman meant. He wanted them to pay and provide food, and then exchange it for the notes that would be issued in the base area. The group of landowners and squires all looked embarrassed.
What if the paper money in the base collapsed? Wouldn't it become a pile of waste paper?
"Chairman, is it really…necessary?”A squire asked with a troubled expression. Su Yang said firmly,"Yes, and it's very necessary."
"I know that everyone has doubts now. Are you worried that the gold, silver, and grain will be exchanged for notes by the interim government and that the notes will become waste paper in the future?”Su Yang stood up and asked the landowners and squires present. All of them did not speak and looked at Su Yang awkwardly, agreeing with Su Yang's point of view.
This was indeed what they were worried about.
"But think about it from another perspective. Our base is now a huge threat to the pirates. Once the pirates break into our base, what will happen? Can you still keep your belongings? Can you still keep your lives?"
Su Yang patiently reasoned with the landowners and squires present.
"Moreover, there are more and more factories in the base area, and there are more and more construction projects. It is impossible to operate without issuing paper money. If our economy doesn't develop well, not only will our people's lives be affected, but we won't even be able to guarantee our military production, let alone fight against the Japanese.”
" Finally, I can use my reputation to guarantee that the monetary credit of the base will never be inflated. At the same time, the currency of the base would definitely not collapse.”Su Yang promised firmly. Although he was not an economic expert, he had never seen a pig run before. In terms of basic financial concepts, Su Yang definitely did not lose to anyone in this era.
Moreover, Su Yang had a system. How could the economy of the base collapse? How did monetary policy collapse?
