At this critical moment, Chen Baotang also stood up and supported Su Yang. He said to all the landowners and squires present,""As the saying goes, when the lips are gone, the teeth are cold. The pirates have occupied our three eastern provinces and plundered us crazily. Even if you have some wealth, it is inevitable that you will decline in the end. The only way out now is for all of us to unite and support the anti-alliance forces to expel the pirates.”
"Furthermore, we have chosen the right path. Although the Anti-Coalition Army had not been established for long, the results they had achieved were obvious to all. They could win every time they fought against a large number of enemies. This was a disciplined army that was good at fighting. However, it is precisely because of this that our base is in danger, because the Japanese have already seen us as a thorn in their side and are doing everything possible to destroy us. Therefore, we must unite and do our best to support the anti-alliance army. Otherwise, if the anti-alliance army can't win, how can we talk about our lives!”
"Can we let the anti-alliance army not have to fight against many people, but have more troops and resources? The chairman's ability is obvious to all. Since he took office, he has led the soldiers and civilians of the base and has already built a batch of factories for us Chinese. Now, we are issuing paper money so that we can build more factories in our base areas and have more material resources. Why were the Japanese so arrogant? It was just that they had an industry. The reason why our country, which has been a world power for 5,000 years, is so weak is because we don't have an industry.”
"As long as one day, the Resistance Army can pacify the world, all of you here will be heroes!”Chen Baotang's speech was reasonable and well-founded, and he also stated the pros and cons of the situation. The venue immediately burst into warm applause.
"Let's start voting! Those in favor of the bill, please raise your hand.”Chen Baotang, who was presiding over the meeting, said to the landowners and squires present.
All the landowners and squires present raised their hands, and Chen Baotang immediately announced that the draft was unanimously passed.
The group of landowners and squires had to agree to this draft even if they did not agree. They were already on the base's 'pirate ship'. The pirates would definitely do their best to destroy the base. Once the base was captured by the pirates, their fate would definitely be extremely miserable.
In that case, they could only brace themselves and continue to follow the base, taking out gold, silver, jewelry, and food to continue supporting the base.
But on the other hand, from the performance of the anti-alliance army and the industrial development of the base, it would not be easy for the pirates to take down the base.
Not only were the anti-alliance troops well-equipped, but they also had the geographical advantage of being in the mountains. Take those insane fortifications as an example, they were simply unstoppable. As long as there were no problems within the anti-alliance troops and the base area, the pirates could forget about breaking into the base area.
Moreover, the Resistance Army had strict discipline and did not offend the people. If one day they could defeat the Japanese invaders and enter the pass, they would definitely be the imperial army that unified the world. If that day really came, they would be the heroes.
In terms of defeating the Japanese pirates, the group of landowners and squires also felt very hopeful. After all, the anti-alliance army had already achieved several major victories, proving that the anti-alliance army could fight. And the current development strategy of the base was a model of all citizens becoming soldiers. At the same time, theories such as guerrilla warfare and protracted warfare were also brought out by Su Yang. These guidelines for the war of resistance also made the group of landowners feel very hopeful.
For example, the founding heroes were enough to move these landowners and squires. Even if the currency of the base collapsed, they were now willing to take out their property and exchange it for paper money.
Su Yang saw that these landowners and squires agreed to pass the draft, so he canceled the prepared plan.
The issuing of paper money and the unified management of precious metals and commodity grain were policies that had to be implemented. If these landowners and squires strongly opposed it, then he could only take enforcement measures.
As for the landlords who exchanged precious metals and commodity grain for paper money, it would not cause the internal class oppression of the gap between the rich and the poor for the time being because Su Yang wanted to engage in a planned economy.
Under the planned economy, the goods on the market were completely controlled by the temporary government of the base. Personal consumption would be limited to a certain limit.
However, Su Yang had the system, so it was easy for the base to become rich. Therefore, this consumption limit would allow the common people to live more comfortably. Normal consumption would basically not exceed the limit. However, luxury goods did not exist, and all kinds of oppressing consumer goods did exist.
Money was essentially a medium for transporting wealth, not real wealth. Therefore, no matter how much money the landowners and squires received, they could not spend extravagantly and could only live a similar life as the common people. Of course, as long as the base area developed into a prosperous area, these landowners and squires could live a good life like the common people. At the same time, they could implement free medical care, education, and pension. They could also distribute production materials to ordinary people and narrow the class gap.
Then, the committee unanimously passed the draft of the planned economy and implemented administrative control over the scarce materials.
With the passage of the draft, these two measures were quickly implemented.
Su Yang set up a mint and began to print notes and coins. The design of the first edition of the notes and coins was quickly finalized. The currency was directly named 'Chinese Coin'. In the future, there was no need to print a new national currency. It was directly in place.
The design of the Chinese currency used many patterns that represented the Chinese civilization, as well as the people. The design was very exquisite.
At the same time, the anti-counterfeit technology was from the 21st century.
In order to build this mint, Su Yang spent tens of thousands of points. It was quite cost-effective to get it done in one step. And because the technology was 70 to 80 years ahead, no one could counterfeit the Chinese currency issued by the temporary government of the base.
At the same time, Su Yang also built a paper mill that could also produce all kinds of paper.
Before the paper money was printed, all the landowners and squires in the towns had handed over their precious metals and grain to the interim government.
Su Yang immediately established a strategic granary. At the same time, he established more than a dozen small granaries scattered in various towns and villages. He also established grain processing plants and grain stations.
The grain controlled by the government was considered commodity grain, which only controlled the grain collected by the landlord through land rent and the commodity grain sold by the common people.
The people who were engaged in agricultural production could keep their own rations according to the situation. It was even possible to keep some for themselves to store.
