Fu An entered the city and was stunned. This... city was too big, too prosperous, and too wealthy.
Chu Chengfeng, who came in shortly after, was also stunned. He couldn't believe what he saw in front of him. He secretly twisted his thigh. It hurt! He was not dreaming.
"Did you call on people to build this city?" Chu Chengfeng's voice trembled when he spoke.
Fu Manman nodded, "How is my new city?"
"Majestic and spectacular, a miracle!" Chu Chengfeng praised without hesitation.
"Let's go, let's take you in for a tour." Fu Manman hasn't been back for a long time. When he came back this time, he found that there were more newly opened shops along the street.
Today is a rest day, everyone is on holiday, so the streets are especially lively.
Among them, the shops marked with stars and crescents are all state-owned shops, which were opened by Fumanman.
There are department stores selling daily necessities, such as oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, soap and toothpaste. There are grain shops selling all kinds of grains, rice noodles, and miscellaneous grains. People who don’t have land will come here to buy rice and noodles. The prices are very reasonable.
, all are priced uniformly by the city’s price bureau.
There are also cloth shops that sell fabrics produced by textile factories.
In addition to selling these fabrics in the city, some of them were shipped out to Wanhuimeng and sold to other states and counties to increase profits for the factory.
Not only fabrics, but also daily necessities, such as soap, toothpaste, toothbrushes, glasses, and mirrors.
Nowadays, the people in the city live a very prosperous life. Although they have not left the city gate, they still know everything about the world.
Fu Manman opened a newspaper. In addition to printing and publishing books, he also printed a newspaper every week. The content of this newspaper was the same as that of Heifeng Village.
Xingyue City is an enlarged Black Wind Village.
We walked all the way and arrived at the center of the city. We saw the square filled with people. There was a long cultural corridor in the square. In this corridor, in addition to posting newspapers, the responsibilities of various administrative departments in the new city were also displayed.
Paste them all.
Let the people in the city know where they can go to find someone when they encounter something that needs to be solved.
Chu Chengfeng and Fu An looked along the corridor. Chu Chengfeng saw many of the welfare systems and wrote that people must take their household registration books and identity cards to apply for them.
Let’s take a look at these benefits. They are great. If you have school-age children at home, as long as you register at the police station, you can enter kindergarten when you are three years old, go to primary school when you are six, and you can study for free until you are twelve years old.
After reaching the age of twelve, those who don’t want to study don’t have to study. Those who want to study can continue to study and go to professional technical schools. Although these schools require examinations to attend, for Chu Chengfeng, who has never had the opportunity to attend a school,
It's really a great initiative.
"The children here are so happy!" Chu Chengfeng said with emotion.
It also says that people over the age of 50 can take their household registration book and apply for retirement at the service center of their neighborhood. From then on, they can go to the bank to receive their pension every month.
This is great, and the people living here are so happy.
These systems are truly unheard of and unseen.
"Xingyue Bank!" Fu An saw a very majestic building, so beautiful!
"What does this bank do?" Chu Chengfeng asked curiously.
Fu Manman explained: "It is also a bank, but the business here is wider, and it also regulates the economy of the entire Xingyue City."
Chu Chengfeng discovered that the people here used paper to buy things. He was curious: "Are those papers money?"
"Yes, it is the exclusive star currency of Xingyue Kingdom. People here use this kind of money. If you have money, you can go to the bank to exchange it for banknotes." Fu Manman said to him.
He did have some money and banknotes.
"Can the banknote be exchanged?" Chu Chengfeng asked.
"If it's true, it's okay." Song Qingyao said.
Chu Chengfeng also went to experience this bank, took out the money from his pocket, and went to the bank to exchange banknotes.
Fu An also took out the money on his body and said excitedly: "Sister, I'm going to change some money too."
"Brother, how much money do you have?" Fu Shuangshuang caught up with Fu An and asked.
Fu An took out two large gold ingots and whispered to Shuangshuang, "My second brother gave these to me."
Fu Shuangshuang heard what Fu An said about how he was rescued by his second brother.
"It would be great if the second brother came back this time. Our family would be reunited." Fu Shuangshuang sighed with emotion.
A trace of disappointment flashed in Fu An's eyes, but he was soon opened wide in shock by the magnificent interior scene of the bank in front of him.
I really can’t believe that my sister and the others built this place.
If you have to queue up to do business, you can get your number plate, then sit on a chair and wait.
Chu Chengfeng saw that many people came to save money. He saw the notice on the blackboard here that said the bank's deposit interest. It was different for one month, one year, three years and five years. The higher the number of years, the higher the interest rate.
The interest will be higher.
When his number was reported, he hurriedly took twenty taels of silver to change money.
Twenty taels of silver can be exchanged for twenty yuan.
Twenty yuan is just two paper bills.
It feels light in the hand. What can I buy from this?
"Well, I want to deposit money, how do I deposit it?" Chu Chengfeng asked the girl sitting at the counter.
"Sir, have you ever applied for a passbook at our bank?" the girl at the counter asked.
Chu Chengfeng was stunned when he heard the word "Mr.". This was a title for a scholar. How could he deserve such an honorific title for a person who only knew how to fight and kill. At this time, he noticed that at the counter next door, the girl inside was facing
An old man is also called sir. At first glance, this man is a farmer working in the fields.
This... actually doesn't distinguish between people's identities. Sir is just an honorific. This place is really nice!
Chu Chengfeng felt that he was greatly respected. He shook his head and said, "I haven't done it before, what should I do?"
"Do you have an ID tag?" the girl asked.
Chu Chengfeng shook his head, what is this.
"If you haven't had time to apply for an identity card, you can also have a household registration book." The girl continued to ask patiently.
Chu Chengfeng shook his head again, he didn't.
"You don't even have a household registration book? Are you... a commoner who has just entered the city? You must go to the police station to apply for a household registration book before you can do bank business." The girl reminded kindly.
Chu Chengfeng took the exchanged money and left the bank in despair.
Fu Manman and Fu Shuangshuang went to a newly opened shop in disguise to buy food, and they sat at an outdoor stall.
Fu Manman saw Chu Chengfeng leaving the bank and waved to him: "Come here!"
This was a shop that sold sugar water. Chu Chengfeng took a look at the price tags. There were 10 cents, 20 cents, 50 cents, and the most expensive one was 2 yuan.
He squeezed the twenty yuan in his hand and thought, save it and spend it, twenty yuan is still a lot!
He saw that Fu Manman didn't order any sugar water for him, so he ordered a dime for himself. The bowl of warm sugar water contained red beans, peanuts, and something dark.
