Looking at the piles of food, the second uncle turned his head and asked:
"Are all these grains transported from the north?"
Ju Tianrui shook his head and said:
"No, I can only say most of them."
"Um."
The second uncle walked around the warehouse. This warehouse is located behind the central building. There are many people coming and going, so it is not considered secretive.
Ju Tianrui also told the story of how Sima Xi occupied this place in the first place. After using the potion, the group of people stayed in this warehouse and did not leave.
Later.
They came to the residential area again and took a brief look.
Time flew by and it was twelve o'clock noon before I knew it.
Ju Tianrui glanced at the time and said to his second uncle: "President, how about we eat something first, and I will take you to the construction site in the afternoon."
The second uncle nodded with some hesitation. This time he came to Oil City. It was the right time. In the past, when giving some instructions at the headquarters base, he often worried that they would not be suitable for the situation in Oil City. But now, after seeing it with his own eyes, this problem has become much less likely.
Oil City and Da Zhangshu Base have completely different styles. Oil City seems to be full of wildness, with a rough and bold temperament.
The Da Zhangshu base has a refined and leisurely feel.
He and Ju Tianrui came to the cafeteria.
The canteen was crowded with people, and many combatants entered the canteen in batches to eat.
After grabbing a lunch, my second uncle tasted the food he had made for lunch and thought it tasted pretty good.
So he smiled and asked: "The food in the cafeteria tastes good, who cooked it?"
Ju Tianrui then told his second uncle about Su Qian and Su Yuan.
The past experiences of these two siblings were quite miserable, but now they have finally come to terms with their hardships.
...
Warfighter rest area.
Lao Yi slept until noon, then stretched out after walking out of the room.
He hardly had much rest during two consecutive trips to transport supplies. This time, the transport from the northern border to Oil City was the most tiring for him.
However, in yesterday's battle, the group of people who were following them were completely wiped out.
Thinking of the ashes flying in the woods yesterday and the raging fire in the woods.
Lao Yi felt relieved!
After waiting here for a day, he took some of the remaining supplies and transported them back to the Da Zhangshu base.
I don’t know what happened to Lao Bi and Lao Luo in the base.
Xiao Jun happened to pass by the door and stopped when he saw Lao Yi.
"Lao Yi, the president arrived this morning. You'd better go find the president."
"ah?"
Lao Yi's eyes widened and he asked in surprise:
"Don't you arrive in the afternoon?"
Xiao Jun shrugged helplessly, saying that he didn't know either.
Lao Yi quickly asked: "Where is the president now?"
"canteen."
"Forehead..."
"Then I'd better go there later."
....
Uncle Er, who had finished lunch in the canteen, came out of the canteen at half past one in the afternoon.
"Lao Ju, let's go to the construction site and have a look." The second uncle said to Ju Tianrui.
Ju Tianrui originally planned to let his second uncle and the others take a break before going out at three in the afternoon.
Since the president said so, the plan can only be changed.
"Okay." Ju Tianrui gestured towards Dongtai and asked him to drive out.
The trading market is relatively large, and if you have to walk around it, it will probably take a lot of time.
Soon, Dongtai came with several cars.
Just when the second uncle was about to get in the car, Lao Yi appeared out of nowhere.
"President!"
The second uncle heard someone calling him and looked up curiously.
When he saw Lao Yi, the corners of his mouth rose.
"Lao Yi!"
Lao Yi walked to the car and said to his second uncle:
"President, you happen to be here, let me tell you...
That convoy has been transporting supplies without rest, so I asked them to rest for two days before setting off back to the headquarters base the day after tomorrow."
The second uncle smiled and said:
"I know, Ju Tianrui just told me that you just arrived yesterday."
"All those tails were taken care of yesterday."
Seeing Lao Yi's tired look, his second uncle didn't urge him.
Lao Yi nodded and said:
"It's all done, it's all set on fire."
"Um..."
The second uncle thought for a while and said:
"Next time if you encounter this kind of stalker during transportation, if it is close to the oil city, please contact Ju Tianrui, if it is closer to the headquarters, please ask for helicopter support from the headquarters."
"Okay, thank you, President."
The second uncle said nothing more and got in the car.
The vehicle started and drove towards the outside of Oil City.
The sun is shining brightly.
Around two o'clock in the afternoon is the hottest time.
The second uncle sat in the car and looked out the window.
As the vehicle drove out of the oil city, it took a close look at the trading market being built.
On the car.
Li Haoran asked Dongtai curiously:
"Dongtai, I heard that the people from Southern Paradise are also here. Where are they?"
Dongtai pointed to the construction site in the northeast and said:
"The construction site here is divided into different areas, and construction is carried out in separate areas, which are also reviewed by supervisors."
Li Haoran picked up the telescope and looked carefully.
On the construction site in the northeast, there are hundreds of people busy there, and among the crowd, there are also some people wearing yellow hats, directing the construction.
The second uncle was sitting in the back seat of the car, and Ju Tianrui was also explaining the future construction of the trading market.
The second uncle looked at the design drawings and compared what he saw in his field of vision, slowly gaining a deeper understanding of the trading market.
According to this design, the future trading market can definitely accommodate tens of thousands of people.
The first phase of the project is just to build the fence first, set up four entrances in four directions of the fence, and build eight guard towers.
Then the second phase of the project is the construction inside the wall.
Several areas are divided, including:
1. In the residential area, part of it is used as a place for permanent residents to live, and the other part is used for long-term rental, similar to the form of renting a house before the end of the world.
No matter who you offend outside, entering the trading market will save your life, because conflicts and fights are not allowed in the trading market.
2. There is a market street with shops on both sides. Various items can be sold in the shops: daily necessities, antiques, salt, wine, Da Zhangshu Base brand corn silk cigarettes, gasoline, diesel, food, cold weapons, and even firearms.
Bullets can be purchased and sold here.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Among them, nearly half of the shops are self-operated by Oil City and Southern Paradise.
The other half of the shops can be rented to other survivors.
3. Leisure and entertainment area.
Here, there are restaurants, underground bars, short-term rental hotels, chess and card rooms, etc.
Here, survivors from all walks of life can indulge in entertainment. As long as you have enough supplies, you can live a life in heaven and on earth.
In addition to these three areas, there are also some bunker storage areas that belong to the special areas of Oil City, and outsiders are not allowed to enter these areas.
"Lao Ju, last time you mentioned that you wanted to create a unified currency, tell me what you think." The second uncle put down the design drawings and asked Ju Tianrui.
Speaking of this, Ju Tianrui became interested.
"President, I initially thought that the best way to allow these survivors to trade with peace of mind was to barter, but later I considered the convenience of circulation."
“So I still feel that we need to build a unified currency system first.”
"Otherwise, imagine this scene. If I am a survivor entering the market, I buy some daily necessities in the trading area, but I have to carry a large bag of grain. It is not easy to pick up... and it is not easy to calculate.
..."
"This currency must have actual use value.
I originally thought of using gold, but I feel that it has no direct use value at the moment, so I think I might as well use bullets! What do you think?"
The second uncle was still listening quietly, but when he heard the bullet, his expression suddenly changed.
Bullets are extremely dangerous.
Once it floods, it will cause huge consequences.
So he said: "Bullet, I feel it's still too risky. Let's think about other things."
Ju Tianrui said hurriedly:
"President, please listen to me."
The second uncle glanced at him, but he didn't really want to hear any more, but he didn't want to offend him, so he said, "Go ahead."
Ju Tianrui noticed that the president was a little impatient, but he felt that if he didn't make it clear, he might not have the chance to do so in the future.
I made a mental draft in my mind, and after a while I spoke:
"President, I have been here in the Oil City for a long time, and I think so. If we want to build a trading market, the currency we trade must be hard enough!"
"These survivors would definitely have concerns if something else with real use value was used as currency."
"But bullets are different. They have actual use value."
"And bullets are not easy to forge, which is conducive to our management."
The second uncle sighed and asked:
"Then how to ensure that if some malicious elements get bullets and attack us in the city? How to ensure the safety of the city?"
Mentioning this, Ju Tianrui remembered what the city lord said before.
So he said to his second uncle:
"The previous city lord meant that anyone who enters the trading market needs to hand in their firearms. Such a strict review can reassure all traders."
The second uncle frowned and asked again:
"What about the bullets?"
Ju Tianrui replied:
"Bullets are just a medium of exchange, a currency in their barter process."
"Let me give you an example. For example, if A brings some liquor and wants to buy grain, he needs to exchange it for bullets at the exchange office first, and then take the bullets to buy grain."
The second uncle thought for a while and asked:
"Then if there is a person who has a lot of bullets, and he wants to come over with the bullets and want to buy a firearm, what should you do?"
Ju Tianrui pondered and then replied:
"Firearms are special items. Special items can be handed to him at the exit when he leaves."
After a few questions, it seems that Ju Tianrui's method is indeed feasible.
But the second uncle thought of another question:
"I've seen the plan. You can buy bullets in the trading market? How to do it? Use bullets to buy bullets. Isn't this a joke?"
"Forehead...."
Ju Tianrui scratched his head. Buying bullets did sound a bit nonsense.
Suddenly, he patted himself on the head, why was he thinking so hard?
He said with some excitement:
"President, the exchange office actually provides the option of buying bullets, but there is a daily limit per person. They can buy these bullets in the trading market, and they can also leave with the bullets."
"And set a rule that for people who want to leave with bullets, when they leave, the bullets they exchanged will be halved, prompting them to spend and buy other items in the trading market."
The second uncle smoothed over his thoughts and felt a little convoluted.
"You mean, for example, if a person brings 10 bottles of wine and exchanges them for 10 bullets, and then if he does not consume or buy them, if he takes the bullets away when he leaves, it is equivalent to
Can you only take away 5 bullets?"
Ju Tianrui nodded and said:
"Yes, that's the truth. It means that bullets are strictly controlled. Buying bullets requires a very high price. But if you trade in the city and spend the bullets, you will leave the bullets in the trading market."
The second uncle frowned and came up with a hypothesis:
"What if someone has bullets, and then buys 100 kilograms of rice in the trading market, and then goes out to exchange the rice with others for more bullets? Then he comes in to buy rice, isn't this just being ripped off by them?
"
As he said this, the second uncle suddenly stopped.
Because what he just said, exchanging bullets for grain and rice outside the city is unrealistic in itself.
Bullets are inherently rare, and basically no survivor force can independently manufacture and produce bullets.
Moreover, the most important thing in the last days is food. Without food, people will die.
If you exchange grain for bullets, you may end up taking advantage of others. In order to make a small profit in the middle, you have to take huge risks. No one should be willing to do this.
The most important thing about the trading market is to provide a safe trading platform.
This is very important.
Moreover, the purchase of food and bullets is restricted.
This is a small loophole using bullets as currency, but it's innocuous.
Any perfect mechanism may be exploited, and the only thing that can be done is to make the loopholes as small as they can bear.
Seeing the president's silence, Ju Tianrui stopped disturbing him.
After a long time.
The second uncle took a deep breath and said:
"I will give you the answer after I return to the headquarters and discuss this matter carefully with the city lord."
"Yes." Ju Tianrui was not in a hurry.
Just at this time, the vehicle drove next to the ancient tomb.
At this time, the ancient tomb has been enclosed, and the walls have been moved further away. The entrance and upper part of the ancient tomb have been divided into special areas. The upper area is intended to be used to store less valuable items in the future.
There is a planting area below.
"President, this is the ancient tomb that was discovered a while ago. It is now being transformed into an underground plantation. Would you like to go in and have a look? A memorial hall has just been built inside."
The second uncle glanced at him faintly, the memorial hall...
You really made the best use of everything...
After Ju Tianrui saw his second uncle's eyes, he said awkwardly:
"This is the city lord's suggestion, saying that the visit fee can be charged later..."
Second uncle: "...."
"That's okay."
