Chapter 56 Currency

The air was filled with a desperate chill. The night time was always difficult for many people to adapt to. Even if there was sufficient water and electricity, such a night was difficult for many people.

Jed stood quietly outside the cold, with a group of fully armed people behind him. He looked solemn, looking at a tavern with lights on outside a cave, where many people were laughing.

Jin Ming followed Jed. It had been half a year since he went back last time. Sure enough, things turned out to be as Jed expected. Zhang Yang and his people wanted to be independent.

Zhang Yang and his people were not many, only three or four hundred people, but once they really launched an armed revolution, many nearby caves would follow suit, and everything that had happened in that small city would happen again.

Contradictions had begun to appear. Although the law had a certain effect, for many people who worked in the caves every day, they were the ones who supported others with their labor, while others contributed too little and could still command them from a high position.

Such thoughts have spread in many caves, and people living in the town also have complaints, because the recent food distribution has been much less. Jed has sent people to investigate secretly. Someone has done something, and it was Zhang Yang and his group who did it.

Jed knows clearly what they did in private. Originally, Jed wanted to have a good talk with Zhang Yang, but after knowing that Zhang Yang had planned an armed revolution, Jed has made up his mind to get rid of Zhang Yang.

Tonight, Jed brought 500 security team members. They are fully armed and have received a large amount of weapons and ammunition from the warehouse. There will inevitably be bloody conflicts tonight.

Such conflicts are unavoidable. Recently, Jed and his team are discussing some currency systems. Take the town as a unit, establish a currency, and then let people in each town trade freely.

Such a system is to allow everyone to do their work purposefully. As long as the currency is circulated, all towns can be slowly connected. Everyone can use the currency to buy some food and get wages for their work.

If we continue to share money aimlessly, the whole human society will face another great disaster, so currency is indispensable.

The original issuance volume of each town must be determined according to many aspects, so this is a relatively long task.

Only the monetary system can stabilize the current chaos. Not only in Jed's town, but every town has experienced riots of varying degrees, and some towns have even experienced large-scale bloody conflicts.

As long as the currency can circulate in the town, all these problems can be solved.

The lack of pursuit is the biggest problem in human society. Some people are now working negatively, because no matter what, the current life is like this, without any pursuit.

Jed signaled the security team to disperse and then prepare for a raid. According to the intelligence, Zhang Yang and his team have secretly obtained a lot of weapons from the weapons factory and are being equipped.

Jed brought out the elite of these security teams. They train every day and have conducted shooting training.

At this time, Jin Ming came over.

"Are you really going to do it, Mayor?"

Jed nodded, then thought about it and said.

"Go in and tell Zhang Yang to see his attitude. This is the last chance, but don't..."

"I won't reveal that you have surrounded them."

Jin Ming ran quickly, and after a while he came to the door of the tavern. This tavern was where Jin Ming and his friends gathered. There were more than 200 people inside, drinking and chatting. Many people looked very happy, and Zhang Yang was already a little drunk.

"Why are you here, Lao Jin? Come over and have a drink."

Zhang Yang shouted, and Jin Ming looked around with a serious face after he went over.

"Can we talk?"

Jin Ming's face changed suddenly.

"Did Jed ask you to come?"

Jin Ming shook his head.

"No, I just came here as a friend."

The two came to a room on the second floor of the tavern. The voices of men and women came from many other rooms from time to time. Zhang Yang relied on some women to successfully win over many people.

"Why do you want to play too?"

Jin Ming shook his head.

"What are you going to do? Jed has noticed you."

Zhang Yang put away his smile, then sat on a small bed and lay down, then took out a cigarette and lit it.

"If the currency system is introduced, those people at the bottom will have a harder time."

Jin Ming didn't do much research on this aspect, so he couldn't answer, Zhang Yang said with a smile.

"Can you still bear it? What are Jed and the others doing recently? Are you blind?"

Jin Ming also knew that Jed and the others now had everyone's information, and then began to divide it up and assign some people's work in more detail, but this was understandable because it was such an era.

"This is not a shared ownership at all. All of us are working hard to create glory for the Angus family."

"But if you want to continue to develop, someone has to lead."

Zhang Yang blew smoke rings disapprovingly.

"Lead? He is not a qualified leader. Many of the things he does will be considered based on the people in his family."

Jin Ming naturally knew this.

"You know, if currency is issued, the labor force at the bottom will definitely become the cheapest, and there will also be a tax system, and money will circulate in the town, making everyone more motivated, but in the end the money circulating will only return In the hands of the Angus family, other people contributed their labor and produced value, but what they got in the end was a little useless paper.”

"But if we don't do this, many people will become more and more dissatisfied, so..."

Zhang Yang burst out laughing.

"This shows that all the systems promulgated by Jed are problematic. Anyway, I can't eat from such a big pot. Many of them have devoted their labor, but they still have to wait for the distribution of the food they grew. How can there be anything in the world? That’s the truth.”

Jin Ming asked tentatively.

"what do you want to do?"

"Just get away from Jed and the others and go to a place with thousands of people like Allen and the others. I don't want to be so tired anymore. What do I get in exchange for working so hard every day? Nothing, right?"

Jin Ming fell silent and continued to persuade.

"If you really do this, you will have a conflict with Jade and the others."

Zhang Yang put out his cigarette butt and patted Jin Ming on the shoulder.

"Lao Jin, you'd better think clearly. This kind of social structure has no future."

Jin Ming didn't say anything else. He knew that Zhang Yang could no longer look back, but he still explained everything.

"Why don't you have a nice talk with Jade."

"I have nothing to talk about with him anymore, and I am not qualified to talk to him."

Then Jin Ming left. He returned to Jade and told Jade what happened. Jade raised his head and couldn't calm down.

Jade's only thought now is to put this matter to rest as soon as possible while Zhang Yang and the others maintain their foundation.

Soon, under Jed's order, the security team began to approach the pub.

boom

As gunshots rang out, the security team soon rushed to the outside of the pub, raising their guns and shouting loudly.

"Please all of you lie down with your hands on your head, now we suspect you are planning a riot."

There was no resistance, the situation was exactly as Jed thought. The originally laughing and joking tavern fell silent. Jed led people in, and each person walked out of the tavern with his hands raised under the threat of gunpoint.

At this time, Zhang Yang ran down in a panic, and Jade watched him run over.

"What's wrong, mayor, what are you doing?"

Jade glanced at Zhang Yang and said coldly.

"Take them away. Then conduct a comprehensive search here and in the cave."

Many people were awakened. Sure enough, a large number of weapons and ammunition were found in the cellar of the tavern, and weapons were also found in some places in the cave.

The key figures were all arrested without exception, and Zhang Yang roared angrily.

"Jed, you bastard, we followed you all the way through life and death, is this how you treat us in the end?"

Jed ignored him and directly used the radio to tell everyone in the town that Zhang Yang planned to be independent, as well as concealing weapons and preparing to start riots. Such crimes were punishable by death.

Early the next morning, when it was just getting dark, many people in the town gathered around the gallows in the middle of the town. More than 30 people had their hands and feet tied, and Zhang Yang's face turned pale.

"Jade, I beg you, because we have done it for you..."

"It's not for me, right? Zhang Yang."

Jade said expressionlessly.

"The same applies to all of you. In order to survive, we can only unite. But now, as in the past, you want independence for your own benefit. I have said many times that you can talk about any issues."

Zhang Yang roared angrily again.

"Talk? Can we talk? Now the entire town belongs to your Angus family. You control everything and decide everything, and after our hard work..."

After Jed signaled, the pedal under Zhang Yang's feet disappeared immediately. He stared at Jed in pain and ferocity. The other people were also hung up one by one. Many people struggled, and soon more than 30 people were executed directly.

"I know that everyone has a lot of dissatisfaction now. The beginning of any era is difficult. In the future, we will soon launch a currency system so that we can conduct various transactions with other towns through currency, and everyone's work will also be Ability to measure its value in terms of currency.”

Jade did not explain too much. When he knew that Zhang Yang and the others started planning a few months ago, his mentality had completely changed. After all, the current situation must not allow riots and dissatisfaction, even if it is a dictatorship. Let everything develop and enter a stable stage.

Jade knew very well that other people were doing the same thing, and the town next to them, managed by Su Kang, was also the same. A few days ago, a group of people were directly executed. Everyone was dissatisfied, but some people chose to put it into practice. Action, and those who take action are bound to cause problems.

The best way to solve the problem is to directly eliminate the person who caused the problem. This will serve as a great warning to others.

Jin Ming stood quietly in the crowd. He saw the uneasiness on many people's faces. He knew very well that concentrating all power could indeed accomplish a lot. Now that the town is developing rapidly under Jed's leadership, perhaps in the future, for them It is the best of times for mankind, but Jin Ming feels that the worst of times will also come.

The best things on this grassland will be controlled by the upper class, and the class will begin to change most obviously.

Such an era is as tragic as the human society in the past.

Jed stared at the dead Zhang Yang quietly. He and the people in other towns are now doing one thing, the accumulation of primitive capital, which is essential for long-term development. Someone must sacrifice for the accumulation of primitive capital, otherwise human society will not develop.

It is difficult to restore to the level of human society in the past, but it is not impossible.

Soon Jed returned to the house and began to contact people from other towns. The mayors of all towns will bring people to Jed's side after a while. Everyone will start to discuss and then establish a complete monetary system, and then rely on this monetary system to clean up the current chaos.

Jed is very clear that the chaos in many towns has a certain relationship with Allen. Allen has established a good shelter template. Many people will feel more and more dissatisfied when they see it, and want to develop into a structure like Allen and his people.

But this is impossible with such a large population, and Allen is still doing some tricks in secret, which Jed is very clear about.

The method of making profits by provoking some disputes is very effective in such an era.

After a while, watching the people around disperse, many people whispered, all with some fear.

Jed returned to his home, right next to the hospital. He sat tiredly on a chair, and his youngest son ran over with water. He was just 10 years old and was very sensible.

"Dad, why can't we all enjoy everything together?"

Jed said with a smile.

"Because everyone is not fair when they are born. If someone must lead human society forward, then someone will inevitably become a stepping stone for human society."

The sky was completely dark, and Allen quietly looked at the lights on the grassland. Now the lights are almost connected. Outside the fortress, a drug transaction is taking place.

In Allen's fortress, the largest output is weapons and ammunition, and what they lack most is medicine.

This is the first decision Allen made after learning the technology. As long as there is a steady supply of weapons delivered to the grassland, there will always be problems on the grassland, and they can rely on the problems that occur to live a good life.

Allen is very clear about the problems that occur in various places. Once humans fall into fear, the first thing they think of to protect themselves is weapons.

"It's really amazingly similar, history! One day, war will start again."
