Their logic was simple, they believed that this new leader would safeguard their interests at all times. This could be observed from the various welfare systems implemented for them recently. Although the training was tough, the genuine care for their diet and other aspects made them feel like real soldiers.
After receiving the command, they, under the leadership of their respective officers and grouped by class, visited the villages. Their tasks were not only to exchange currency, but also to distribute bank cards, attract deposits, and educate the locals.
In front of the village committee where Li Sheng was located.
On the open ground, stood eleven soldiers equipped with weapons.
Next to them, a large box was placed, clearly, it was filled with money.
The village was buzzing with discussion.
The class president, holding a loudspeaker, shouted: "Line up, everybody. One by one, we’ve got a specialized banknote detector, so don’t even think about sneaking in any counterfeit notes. Moreover, each of you will get a bank card - you can deposit your Asia Dollars in it. With the card, there’s no need to carry cash whether it’s for shopping, living expenses, or accommodations. The card is password-protected and if lost, can be replaced. You can even make transfers. It’s all very easy, now start lining up."
Having listened.
The villagers who wanted to exchange currency quickly lined up as indicated by the soldiers. Only the heads of the households were present, so with around eight hundred people in the village, there were just over a hundred families, not too many people.
The first one was village head Li Sheng.
As the village head, he naturally leads by example.
Li Sheng handed over his ID and a stack of money.
The soldier smiled as he accepted the thick stack of currency from Li Sheng, didn’t count it, but directly placed it into the banknote detector. The machine, produced by the clearing center, recognized all valuable currencies recognized internationally, quite amazing. However, it only verifies large denominations, for instance, it won’t count any RMB notes less than twenty, it just registers the quantity.
"Village head Li Sheng, you have US dollars three hundred and seventy-one, RMB two thousand one hundred and fifty-two, Thai Baht... totaling twenty-three thousand four hundred and fifty Asia Dollars. Would you like all in cash or partial amount in the bank card?" The soldier inquired.
"Put twenty thousand in the bank card," Li Sheng answered without hesitation. He knew exactly how much money he had, down to the last cent.
Hearing Li Sheng’s response.
The soldier began to enter information into the military computer - there were three items: the ID number, the bank card number for binding, and the deposit amount.
The identity information will be automatically filled in from the population records in the Command Room.
It was rather convenient.
Within a few seconds.
The soldier handed over a keyboard.
"Please enter your bank card password, six digits, and hit the green confirm key only when finished."
Li Sheng entered his password.
"Please enter it again for confirmation." The soldier instructed.
Li Sheng entered it once more.
He pressed the confirm button.
One second later.
Li Sheng received his bank card, he inspected it carefully which felt pretty delicate, with a sci-fi structure similar to the one on the Asia Dollar. The back listed some usage precautions.
Excited for owning such an elite item for the first time, Li Sheng hurriedly stepped aside.
To make room for the next person.
This scenario was repeated in all the villages within the territory.
Today.
It was not an average day for the people in the territory.
PS: That’s it for today, I’ll continue with three Chapters tomorrow.
