Chapter 563 A Few Things About [Financial Street].

In the office, the sunlight shines on the two people through the large glass. The hustle and bustle outside is in sharp contrast with the silence in the office.

After Pansy Jian heard Xia Xiu's affirmative answer, she obviously had no more objections. She understood the director's decision, and although she still had concerns, she knew there was little point in discussing it now.

Now the focus of work is still on the construction of the administration and the control of the new hub. The administration still has a lot to do, and it needs to be done slowly one by one.

The secretary-general raised the folder in his hand and continued to Xia Xiu with a serious expression:

"The damage report [Adam] in Whispering Square has been tallied."

She opened the folder and showed it to Xia Xiu.

"The overall structural and functional damage to Whisper Square is estimated at 47%. This includes damage to critical infrastructure, commercial facilities, residential areas and public services."

Xia Xiu took the document and started reading, while she continued to detail the damage in key areas:

"In terms of infrastructure, roads, bridges and public transportation systems have been severely damaged, and about 55% of transportation infrastructure needs to be rebuilt or repaired on a large scale. This will be one of the focuses of our reconstruction work to ensure the city's operational efficiency and population safety. Daily traffic; the situation in the commercial district is not optimistic either. The main commercial district has been damaged by 40%. Many shops, markets and corporate facilities need to be rebuilt. This is crucial to the recovery of the local economy. We need to act as soon as possible to reduce economic losses. "

"The damage in residential areas is equally severe, with about 50% of residential buildings requiring extensive repair work to restore living conditions. This is an important part of people's livelihood and requires our special attention. As for public facilities, such as hospitals and government buildings, the damage is approximately At 35%, rapid repair of these facilities is fundamental to restoring normal functioning of society.”

Listening to the flurry of numbers, Xia Xiu subconsciously stretched out his left hand that was not holding the document and touched the bridge of his nose guiltily.

The fight was fun for a while, but I regretted it all the time.

Destruction is always easier than construction, and the Authority's blitzkrieg and suicidal scorched earth, as well as the indiscriminate expansion of the crown and comet impact when he appeared on the stage, all brought huge destruction to the square.

"Approximately how many resources are needed to repair the square now?" Xia repaired the dense damage list report and chose to ask directly.

“Based on [Adam’s] preliminary assessment of the post-disaster damage to Whispering Plaza, the total budget requirement for the reconstruction plan is approximately 200 million [basic assets], which at the exchange rate of the Federation’s current root savings pool would be approximately 96,758,58.73 ounces [extraordinary assets]. "

Pansy Jian looked at the financial report in her hand and answered Xia Xiu's question, and continued to report on the current problem:

"For large-scale engineering projects involving extraordinary deeds, according to Terra's current inflation situation and the Federation's fundamental savings pool exchange rate, we can use Terra currency (Terran banknotes) to offset five thousand through the means of individuals and government agencies. Ten thousand, this 50 million can be achieved with the joint efforts of financial institutions in various countries to ensure that the national currency is fully linked to the fundamental savings pool.”

"That is to say, all the remaining 150 million [basic assets] must be converted into [extraordinary assets] for mortgage."

Xia Xiu quickly converted it based on the exchange rate in his mind, and then said:

"7256894.05 ounces [extraordinary assets]. I remember that the Authority's extraordinary savings did not have that many resources, and the Authority did not formally connect with New Alliance to complete related listing operations such as financial linkage and extraordinary capital."

"Yes, I'm sorry to tell you that most of the capital flows currently owned by the Administration are based on the basic currencies of various countries, but - food, clothing, housing, transportation and small extraordinary transactions can rely on [basic assets], but large extraordinary trade or designated Contract trading relies on extraordinary savings tied to the root savings pool.”

The secretary-general regretfully reported this very painful incident to the fourth sword holder in the kingdom of heaven who has never been poor since his debut. The fourth sword holder in the kingdom of heaven may not be poor, but the administration under his jurisdiction is now Just poor.

"This is the real core issue that the comprehensive secularization of the Kingdom of Heaven has to face besides ideologicalism." Xia Xiu said with some distress while rubbing his brows.

His mind involuntarily began to wander to the Kingdom of Heaven, Terra and Financial Street, which were closely related to this matter.

In addition to conceptual issues and transcendent text issues, the difficulties in secularizing the Kingdom of Heaven also include a series of practical issues.

Another difference between the genealogy of the Kingdom of Heaven and the genealogy of the country lies in the distribution system and class system - all the basic means of production in the Kingdom of Heaven are public, the productivity is highly developed, and the needs of angels can be widely satisfied by Eden.

In this case, there is no monetary system in the Kingdom of Heaven.

The angels did as Eden said - each according to his ability, each according to his need.

Theoretically, the Kingdom of Heaven will become a classless, stateless social state in which angelic self-government reaches a high level of development, eliminating the need for government in the traditional sense and eliminating the class system.

However, because of the individual differences among individual powerful holders, and it is these powerful powers that maintain the genealogical structure of the Kingdom of Heaven, the class system is strictly divided without any taboos or discrimination.

Angels should not be ashamed of their superhuman posture and power, nor do they need to prove anything to themselves. In complete genealogical communism, the traditional national government structure will be replaced by self-managed angel internal faction organizations and public associations, Resolution 13 It was against this background that the author was born.

These organizational factions will manage public affairs and resource allocation based on democratic participation and collective decision-making.

Moreover, the high-ranking angels in heaven are not necessarily the pinnacle of individual power, just like the ethics committee.

After all, the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to the human category, so while it remains closed internally, it also maintains an external port for exchanging basic currency. Some of the basic benefits of angels are also obtained from the port.

Even if Xia Xiu didn't invest in the early days, he could still travel around with Eden's monthly resource rations.

There is an external interface and it belongs to human society - this is the fundamental reason why [Financial Street] can grow in the Kingdom of Heaven but is ignored.

In the early days, the external interface of the Kingdom of Heaven was the Knights led by the "Thirteen Heroes".

Now Heaven has another external interface, which is completely open, and this interface is naturally the current Honkai Administration Bureau.

This is why Xia Xiu said that the problem with the secularization of the Kingdom of Heaven lies in this. Currency peg refers to the fixed relationship between the currency value of a country or region and the value of another currency (such as the Western dollar, Youyang currency, etc.) or a currency basket. This is a monetary policy tool used to maintain the stability of the country's currency and reduce economic uncertainty caused by exchange rate fluctuations.

Under a currency peg, a country's central bank sets a fixed exchange rate between its currency and a target currency.

In Terra, the Edici Federation pioneered an unprecedented miracle - [Financial Street].

The Federation has capitalized the extraordinary and forcibly linked it to the currency system and financial activities of this world, affecting the entire Terra through the root savings pool, forcing everyone to play in one pool.

In Terra, the Kingdom of Heaven has emptied out the [Financial Street], and the [Utopianist] faction stated that if given the opportunity, they must kill the [Financial Street] and eliminate currency and market mechanisms in accordance with utopian concepts.

The relationship between the Central Alliance and the Federation is similar to that of father and son, but who is like whom is a question left over from history.

The central currency and the American dollar have jointly maintained the basic link between the real currency and the extraordinary side of the root reserve pool. They have complete extraordinary reserves and a solid family background in the root reserve pool. The [Olive Branch Pact] has made them even more fatherly. A loving son becomes filial.

The Daevite Empire directly and hard decoupled. Even if the empire is in economic difficulty or its foreign exchange reserves are depleted, or even if it cannot maintain a fixed exchange rate, they will not play with the federation.

The Oletin Empire and the Daeva Empire were brothers in the same pants, but the purple-robed emperor obviously knew how to govern the country and sympathize with the people better than the Hanged King of Daeva who had not been seen in the world for a long time.

Oletin chose a soft decoupling route.

The root storage pool is very important to the Oletin Empire. In a country like Oletin with many city-states and feudal rule, the time and space existing between city-states are infinitely compressed and divided by natural disasters. Currency If the system does not rely on the absolute hard currency linkage of the root savings pool, then the stability and rule of the empire will become a mess.

And if it relies entirely on the root savings pool, the Oletin Empire may become an economic colony of the Federation overseas. This kind of lifeline being choked is absolutely not allowed by the purple-robed emperor, so he gradually implemented it through a series of Policies and measures to gradually adjust economic and trade relations and reduce dependence on a single major country, thereby enhancing the country's strategic autonomy.

It's just that the Federation and the Convention Organization are too aggressive, and [Kievan Rus City] openly resisted the sacred rule of [Constantinople] under the interference of the Convention Organization.

After the furious purple-robed emperor purged the Imperial Senate, he did not hesitate to dispatch [Tyrant Caesar] to the Kievan Rus region to purge the rebellion.

The Miracle City State [Caesar] went on an expedition to Kievan Rus. Of course, the Convention Organization would not just sit idly by. They had long been dissatisfied with Oletin's westward expansion. Now that they can fix the main battlefield in Kievan Rus and fight a proxy war, they naturally will not let it go. Pass the chance.

The two sides started the war in Kievan Rus with a tacit understanding.

After the Seventy-Two Hours of Crisis incident, the [Oaxaca Region], which serves as the buffer between the East and the West, also entered a stage of complete loss of control. Terra, including the Knights of Heaven, all fell into the hot war in the [Oaxaca Region] middle.

Now, the east side of Terra has fallen into the quagmire of war between various countries, while the Ivy War between the west side of Terra and the outside world is still in the preheating stage.

Xia Xiu is now thinking about how to get [Correction Value], how to get more assets, how to achieve results for the sixth core organization of the Kingdom of Heaven, and hand in a perfect answer sheet for his exam to be selected as a decision maker.

“There was a lunch meeting with the Prime Minister from the New Alliance Economic Adjustment Committee, and the meeting was about matters related to the establishment of a root savings pool between the Authority and New Alliance.”

Xia Xiu stood in front of the window of his office, looking at the busy city scene outside, thinking about the future reconstruction and development of Whispering Square. His mind wandered between plans and possibilities until Secretary General Pansy Jane's words brought him back to reality.

When the blond young man heard this, he looked away from the window and turned to Pansy.

"when?"

Pansy flipped through the papers in his hand and replied: "2:30 p.m. The location is the Federal Reserve Bank of New York."

Xia Xiu nodded, his expression revealing the importance he attached to the upcoming meeting:

"Okay, I understand."

Xia Xiu gently put down the documents in his hand, and began to plan how to effectively express the position and needs of the Administration in the meeting. The Administration's biggest capital is now violent capital, and the New Alliance Economic Adjustment Committee is demanding cooperation at this time, probably because it has encountered something related to non-violent non-cooperation.

02:30 PM.

In the heart of the New World, the New York Federal Reserve Bank stands solemnly.

This building is a symbol of financial power. Its exterior is presented in a classic neoclassical style. Its magnificent facade is made of solid granite and decorated with fine classic pillars and decorative reliefs, which looks solemn and impressive.

Above the gate of the building are engraved the words "New York Federal Reserve Bank", which is majestic and formal.

The afternoon sun shines on the steps of this financial fortress, and the flag in front of the door sways gently in the breeze.

As pedestrians on the street hurried past, the busy city rhythm seemed to be slightly relaxed here.

Shashasha——

A typical black official car slowly drove in and stopped in front of the main entrance of the building.

The moment the car door opened, a blond man with golden eyes in formal clothes and a top hat walked out of the car. He held a silver cane in his hand. The golden hair under the top hat was slightly shiny in the sun, and his golden eyes exuded a calm and gentle light, just like the person.

After getting off the car, Xia Xiu began to stop.

Outside the main entrance, a group of people dressed in distinctive clothes gathered together. They were patients with [peristalsis].

These patients held up banners with large and clear words on them: "Not an exhibit, but dignity - fight for the rights of people infected with peristalsis!"

Xia Xiu observed these demonstrators. Their faces and slogans in their hands expressed their challenge to social prejudice and their desire for fair treatment.

Many of them wore special shoes to adapt to their unique foot shape, and some even used assistive devices to help them walk. Xia Xiu had found that most of these patients had deformities similar to those associated with horses.

The protesters were particularly prominent in the busy financial district, and the busy pedestrians also slowed down their pace at this moment, some were watching, and some were discussing in a low voice.
