Pirates start pretending to be Whitebeard II

"How much currency has been issued in total now?"

Muchen asked.

"A total of 500 billion star coins have been issued at this stage, of which 270 billion have been used for the construction of the Gaya Island project and the payment of workers' wages."

Miranda replied as she flipped through her notebook.

"What about the exchange situation?"

Muchen was more concerned about this, and the exchange would end in about ten days, and Bailey would not be allowed to be used on Gaya Island in the future.

Including the future Muchen Sky Island, only star coins can be used for transactions.

"A total of 58 billion Beli was exchanged. It is estimated that many people still hold a lot of Beli cash."

This is indeed the case. When purchasing the real estate land in advance, a few billion beri were spent. The billion beri allocated to Luo was quickly spent, and more than 30 billion beri were added to complete the island's land matter. .

The money went to the people of Gaya and was paid in beli.

Coupled with the Bailey assets originally retained by the islanders, there are still billions of Baileys at least.

After this calculation, there are still billions of Bailey funds among the people of Gaya Island.

"Strengthen the crackdown on illegal underground exchanges of Star Coins. Regardless of the amount, anyone caught will be jailed starting from five years."

"In addition, if there is any import demand, it must be filed with the Administration of Foreign Exchange for approval."

"The Muchen Chamber of Commerce must also increase imports and exports to ensure the consumer market and consumption levels."

Muchen frowned and ordered.

One thousand tons of gold is worth more than 5000 billion beli. Now only 500 billion star coins have been issued, and various problems have arisen.

The face values ​​of star coins are one yuan, ten yuan, fifty yuan, one hundred yuan, two hundred yuan, and one thousand yuan.

There are portraits of Muchen on the front, and the patterns on the back are different.

One yuan is for flowers, ten yuan for ships, fifty yuan for Neptune, one hundred yuan for Xiangbo Mangrove, two hundred yuan for giant stone statues, and one thousand yuan for the Muchen Pirates flag.

"In addition, the Mint must continue to develop new anti-counterfeiting technologies, strengthen security, and strictly regulate, so as to prevent technology leakage."

Muchen knew that the technical difficulty of banknotes was not very difficult. To distinguish between genuine and counterfeit currency, one had to work hard on the details. Anti-counterfeiting marks were very important.

"Yes, Captain!"

Miranda carefully recorded Muchen's requests one by one.

"How is the construction situation in Gaya City?"

Now Gaya City is really big, covering an area of ​​more than 2000 square kilometers, accounting for one-twentieth of the entire Gaya Island.

"As per your request, the land in Area A is basically idle now."

"In other districts, a total of 150 residential communities have been built. Each community has an average of 120 buildings, each with 100 rooms, and each room ranges from 200 square meters to [-] square meters."

"There are a total of 540 million properties, of which 58 are returned to the demolished islanders. Most of the remaining 400 million properties are vacant."

"Those workers who come to Gaya Island to work also rent in the houses of the islanders."

"And because there are so many houses, the rent is generally quite cheap. Our house cannot be sold."

Miranda was a little confused about this because there were so many houses built and a lot of money was consumed.

Most of the 270 billion star coins were spent on these properties.

"Don't worry about this. Such a big island can accommodate millions of people."

Muchen is built according to the current urban appearance, with water, electricity, gas, sewers and street lights all available.

Now the citizens of Gaya City and the people of the surrounding islands seem to be living in two worlds.

This also attracted more migrant workers.

Soon, various shellfish products will be successfully mass-produced, with high quality and low price, and it will be easy to market them around the world.

As Gaya Island is currently the only production base (Muchen Sky Island is also one), more workers and wealth will inevitably come to it.

"There are no problems with water, electricity, and gas supply now, right?"

Water, electricity, and gas (gas) are necessities of life and are related to the life of every islander.

"Most of the drinking water is imported from surrounding islands. Our newly built water plant does not yet have the capacity to supply 80 people."

"Several more sets of thermal power generation equipment have been added to the power system. It has indeed lasted a long time since you last provided a large amount of gas."

"But now we have to supply a large amount of gas to residents, so it is almost not enough. We can still use it for a month at most."

Miranda reported.

Now rows of street lights will light up on the streets at six o'clock every night, illuminating the city of Gaya as if it were daytime, and will not go out until six o'clock in the morning.

"In a few days, I'll go and replenish some for the power plant."

"Are all shopping malls open?"

"What are the prices like?"

Muchen asked many more questions, and Miranda answered them all.

Currently, Gaya City has opened shopping malls near residential areas where people gather, and the Muchen Chamber of Commerce is basically responsible for them.

There are also small convenience stores opened by islanders.

Qinghai in this world is rich in products, and with the Muchen Chamber of Commerce spreading money everywhere, prices in Gaya City are very cheap.

Prices are even lower than those in poor surrounding places.

The public security in Gaya City is also very good, and all outsiders are not allowed to bring weapons ashore.

Special street lights on the street are also equipped with many surveillance phone bugs. Anyone who dares to cause trouble in Gaya City will be detained for five days starting from the beginning.

It can be said that Gaya is the safest island nearby.

After staying in Gaya City for a few days, Muchen and Shirahoshi took an airship to Muchen Sky Island together. Ain stayed at the Shampoo Islands to handle business matters and did not follow.

After arriving at Baibai Sea, the airship went directly to Muchen Sky Island.

Today, Muchen Sky Island has built a cloud island area of ​​[-] square kilometers, with luxury villa areas and government buildings built on it.

These villas will be allocated to ninth-level personnel such as Xiang Luo, Qing Pheasant, Zefa, Binzi, Xiu Zuo, etc. as a benefit in the future.

Because the construction period is relatively tight, a thousand square kilometers of air island area must be built within a year.

Muchen recruited some more Kongdao workers, and now there are a total of 1000 Kongdao workers working for Muchen.

The average monthly salary per person reaches 1 star coins. For star coins, the ratio of star coins to Bailey is still 1:[-].

The salary expenditure last month reached more than 3 million star coins.

Muchen Kongdao's current area of ​​100 square kilometers has already been built with several very large shopping malls.

The goods in the shopping mall are mainly transported from Qinghai, and both Bailey and Star Coins are charged. However, depending on the star coin price of the items, Bailey will be 5.00% to [-]% more expensive.

For example, a product sells for 1 star coins, but can also be purchased with 1 beli.

Therefore, this also stimulated the enthusiasm of the Sky Islanders to receive their Star Coin wages.
