“That’s true. Those who can find us with their abilities in this chaotic world are not ordinary people! It is indeed very difficult to make them truly believe in you!”

Li Xiang sighed softly, “In my opinion, faith is mostly produced because they are saved from suffering. Therefore, many demigods and true gods turn a blind eye to the suffering of their believers. Only when their believers have come to a dead end will they occasionally appear and gain faith. I don’t want to be such a god! Divine power can be converted from the power of faith, and also be obtained through the comprehension of the power of laws. This is the right path!”

An undisguised admiration flashed through Yang Mi’s beautiful eyes. She smiled like a flower as she hugged his arms and praised, “I also think that you’re right! But comprehending laws is not something that ordinary people can do!”

Li Xiang nodded and said, “That’s true! It is indeed difficult for you ladies to comprehend the laws! However, as my women, I also believe that you have extraordinary intelligence and perseverance. If not, you still have me!”

“Hmph, at least you know that!”

Before leaving the palace, they had changed their clothes and appearance.

Although not many common people had seen Li Xiang, there were many portraits of gods related to Li Xiang. It was inevitable that he would be recognized by the people.

When they came to the street outside from the side door, they found that the street was very clean.

All kinds of rubbish had been swept into the trash can, and someone would clean it regularly.

It seemed to be a simple thing.

However, it was a very difficult task in the territories of foreign races on Myriad World Continent. It wasn’t that it was impossible, but that there was no consciousness to do so. This was the difference in the level of civilization.

The streets were clean and tidy, and there was no strange smell. It made people feel comfortable walking on the streets.

The area around Li Xiang’s palace wasn’t very lively because it was heavily guarded, and there was no noise allowed. Moreover, those who could live nearby were high officials and nobles.

These nobles were the humans who had been selected and promoted by Yang Mi through various means recently. They all had their own strengths in management.

It was also because of these people that the Kingdom of Dawn was able to become well-organized and the people were living in peace and contentment.

The territory of the Kingdom of Dawn had already exceeded 40 million square kilometers, but the population was just over 100 million. There were only about 300 cities, so it was not easy to manage.

If Li Xiang were to manage these things, then he would be delayed by all kinds of complicated matters. Not to mention the expansion of the kingdom, even his strength increment would be greatly affected.

Moreover, there were specialties in different industries. Although Li Xiang was very confident in himself, he did not have much experience in managing the country.

To him, it’s great enough to use the right people. The military and financial power were firmly in his hands, and his strength was constantly increasing. This was the greatest guarantee.

As the two of them left the palace, the density of people gradually became higher and higher. The number of shops on the street also increased gradually.

“Er Gou, quickly pass me the brick. What are you daydreaming about? Do you still want to eat?”

“Da Niu, make this wooden board for me. Be quick, I need it as soon as possible!”

“You, this stone board is placed in the wrong place. Put it over here!”

Unknowingly, Li Xiang and Yang Mi had arrived at a region in the south of the city. This place was bustling with construction.

A large number of craftsmen were busy. There were already many houses neatly arranged not far away, creating a rustic landscape yet not lacking in beauty. The craftsmanship was unique.

These houses occupied a large area, and the distance between them was not small either. The middle was paved with green stone slabs, smooth and neat.

The person who was shouting and commanding was a capable man in his thirties.

Li Xiang was very curious. What was this place going to be built for? Could it be that it was going to be a villa? This location did not seem suitable! Moreover, the houses that were already more than half built did not look like villas.

He turned around and asked Yang Mi, “What are they going to build here?”

Yang Mi thought for a while and said, “If I’m not mistaken, they are going to build a market here. Although we already have Business City as a commercial city, every city, especially the City of Dawn, needs trading and logistics.

“Common street-side shops are limited, so someone suggested building a market for trading purposes, which is convenient for management. This place is the furthest from the palace, close enough to the city gate, and convenient for transportation. So they have chosen this place.”

Li Xiang nodded and said, “I see. It is indeed necessary to build a market. After all, the wilderness is getting bigger and bigger. After the Star Web is activated, many people can access the cultivation methods, and then go to the wilderness to fight and increase their levels. At the same time, they can get more resources.”

Yang Mi added with a smile, “This is only one of the reasons. In addition, the locations of each city are different, and the specialties they have are also different. It is definitely not enough to rely on the internal digestion of the city. So we need to circulate between the cities and exchange what they have and what they don’t have. No matter how big the Business City is, there are still limitations. Therefore, we plan to build a market in each city. Other than the shops along the street, there are also many houses used for living. They can be rented to the merchants and their subordinates, so the houses are all relatively big.”

A market that one could trade safely was very necessary for a city. Apart from the benefits on the surface, there were also numerous hidden benefits.

At the very least, the value of the land and houses near the market would soar.

Li Xiang suddenly had a flash of inspiration. He asked, “Then what are these merchants trading with now? Are they still using the gold coins used during the trial period?”

“That’s right! The rate of gold coins is still within the normal range!”

Li Xiang shook his head and said, “If the gold coins are only circulated within our country, they will naturally be very valuable. However, after the system barrier has completely disappeared and the black tide has passed, other than our enemies, there will also be other neutral races coming here. At that time, using gold coins as an equivalent exchange item would be somewhat inappropriate!”

“Huh? Why? Are the other countries using crystal coins as their currency? Didn’t the Alliance of Gods doesn’t allow crystal coins to be used as trading goods?”

“That’s the problem! The Alliance of Gods has its trading currency. If they control the currency, it’s the same as controlling the economy of other countries. With our relationship with the Alliance of Gods, the consequences would be unpredictable if our economy is controlled, but it wouldn’t be much better!”

Yang Mi’s expression froze.

She knew too well how bad the relationship between the Alliance of Gods and the Kingdom of Dawn was. If the other party controlled the currency, the Kingdom of Dawn would be completely exploited and oppressed.

“So, we must establish our currency system!”

Li Xiang said firmly.
