[I have caught a cold these past two days, and have been coughing all the time. My nose is blocked and I feel very uncomfortable. ]

The currency needs to be stable, the more stable the better.

Currency is related to people's livelihood. The more stable the currency is, the more stable the region is. However, the currency must have real credibility. What is credibility? It means that the people and monks trust it and are convinced of its purchasing power.

This requires that the currency be linked to the value of goods.

this point is very important.

For example, how many Eternal Coins are needed to buy a pound of beast meat, how much food can be purchased with one Eternal Coin, how many weapons can be purchased, etc. These all need to be carefully studied and the prices are accurately determined, so that the Eternal Coin can be positioned.

Of course, the positioning here can only give a basic measure of the price of the goods. The specific price can fluctuate up and down on this basis, depending on the needs of both buyers and sellers.

"Well, I have discussed this carefully with Xue Jin and others several times, but it still needs to be carefully considered and confirmed by the lord himself." Huang Chengyan said with a smile. These things were already considered when they decided to build the Fangshi Market.

I have discussed it with Xue Jin and others several times, and Master Lu has also participated in it, and the general tone has been determined. I just need to discuss it again, and once Yi Tianxing confirms it, I can implement it.

Once implemented, it will be of great benefit to the advancement of civilization in Xuanhuang Town.

This is the first step from the original big pot system to privatization, and the most important cornerstone.

"Wait until this market is built. Call Master Lu, Xue Jin and the others over, and we'll discuss it carefully. After we're sure, I'll put a batch of Eternal Coins into the Hall of Ten Thousand Treasures, and Xue Jin will start spreading it. This kind of spreading will be done in the market first. Once there are no problems, we'll promote it thoroughly."

Yi Tianxing nodded, looked at the market town that was being built at a rapid pace, and said in agreement.

... ... ... ..

Afterwards, Yi Tianxing talked with Huang Chengyan for a few more words and understood what had happened in the past two days. There were no major changes. Things were also developing in a good direction.

Especially in terms of population, a large number of new people have been added.

The population of the entire Xuanhuang Town has reached an astonishing number of nearly 50,000.

at dusk.

In the town, beacon lights lit up one after another, especially the huge lighthouse, which was like a little sun, dispelling darkness, bringing light, and guiding the direction for people lost in the wilderness.

Ding!!

On the city wall, bells rang.

"There's a bell ringing. Could something be happening again?"

"I don't know. Recently, even the surrounding beasts and monsters seem to know the strength of our Xuanhuang Town. They dare not approach easily, and even want to hunt us. It's the soldiers in the army who go into the surrounding jungles in groups to hunt beasts to hone their fighting skills. Otherwise, even the meat of beasts may not be available for eating now."

"Let's go and take a look. If there are really ferocious beasts or monsters, I want to go up and kill a few of them. I have been practicing for so long, I am not afraid of those ferocious beasts."

It was evening when a large number of people gathered in the square and set up big pots. A large number of chefs who knew how to cook began to get busy, some cooking, some washing vegetables, and some taking out various beast meats and cooking them using various methods.

Lai He was cooking for Yi Tianxing. He had to use his top cooking skills to cook a table of delicious food.

When the bell rang, many people became curious.

Some walked towards the city wall, and some looked towards the city gate.

Outside Xuanhuang Town.

It can be seen that a group of more than one hundred people are approaching.

You can feel the fierceness of this team at a glance. Everyone holds a weapon, including swords and guns. Even if they can't find swords, they all hold spears made of old bamboo. They wear leather armor made of ferocious beast skins. Wearing them, they really have a fierce aura. Walking in the wilderness, just relying on these leather armors on their bodies, some weak ferocious beasts dare not approach.

The leader was a young man in his twenties, holding a long sword in his hand, with a gleam in his eyes, exuding a fierce aura. The more than one hundred men following him were no less capable than the elite soldiers in the previous world. All of them were experienced in many battles.

"Young master, the lighthouse is in this city. After walking for a few days, we finally arrived." A middle-aged man with a very shrewd face said happily.

Xuanhuang Town was very huge, with tall city walls, and looked no different from the small towns of ancient times. Therefore, at first glance, these people regarded Xuanhuang Town in front of them as a city.

"That's great. I didn't expect to find a human city or other human gathering place. It's really great. I wonder what this place is. Are the people inside friendly or not?"

Someone spoke with some concern.

"Don't worry. Since the lighthouse is hung here, it is attracting other people to come. There must be no malicious intention. The world is now full of ferocious beasts and monsters. We humans are living in dire straits and struggling to survive. The possibility of our own people fighting each other is not great. However, just stay vigilant." The young master heard it and shook his head.

In fact, they knew in their hearts that even if there was any malicious intent, with more than a hundred people like them, they would definitely not be able to cause any big waves.

"Yes, this is the best chance to contact other humans. If we miss this opportunity, we don't know how long it will take to contact others. We in Baiyang Village lack weapons and food. Many people can't even fill their stomachs now. Whether the village can survive depends on whether we can get enough harvest this time." The middle-aged man said with emotion.

"Well, Uncle Ping, I know that my father has asked me to bring the treasures of our Baiyang Village. He must help my Baiyang Village get through this critical moment." The young master nodded heavily and said in a deep voice.

The visitors came from a village outside the valley called Baiyang Village.

The village was built by Bai Yang. Bai Yang was born in a martial arts family. His family practiced martial arts for generations, so it was considered a big family. During the fusion of all realms, he appeared in the Eternal Continent with a most ordinary village building order in his hand. He was guarded by some servants of the Bai family. Although some of his family members were lost, the important thing was that his son Bai Lang was still by his side. With a hope in his heart, he worked hard to build Baiyang Village.

A large number of people gathered together to fight against the beasts and monsters. Relying on their own cultivation, even if they had to rebuild, they were very fast and stabilized the situation in the crisis. In the end, they managed to hold on. However, the village was short of food and clothing. They were even short of weapons and medicines, etc., making it very difficult for the village to hold on.

After seeing the lighthouse, they finally decided to send a group of people to open the channel, contact other humans, and see if they could find a way to strengthen themselves.

The leader of the team was his son, Bai Lang, and with him was Bai Ping, the Bai family's long-time butler, who was loyal, reliable, smart and capable.

The journey to here was a long one. We lost a lot of manpower. Fortunately, we finally arrived here.

Looking at the majestic city wall in front of them, both Bai Lang and Bai Ping felt that this journey, no matter how hard it was, was worth it.

"Who is coming?!"

A questioning voice came from the city wall.

Bai Lang looked up and immediately couldn't help but gasp. He saw soldiers in armor, holding spears and bows and arrows on the city wall, and even a large number of people who looked like ordinary people standing on the city wall and looking over here. There seemed to be an invisible pressure in those eyes, which made Bai Lang subconsciously feel as if the air was solidifying and he was about to suffocate.

I was secretly shocked: What a strong murderous aura, these soldiers are definitely not just for show, they must be elites who have fought their way out of the sea of blood and corpses, their eyes are so sharp, I can feel that any of them are not much weaker than me, and some are even stronger than me. And those ordinary people, how can they convey such a strong aura. What kind of place is this, why is it so terrifying.

Although he was horrified in his heart, he immediately answered, "General, we are the people of Baiyang Village. We came here because we saw the lighthouse set up in your precious land, so we came to explore and hope to find other humans to communicate with."

"So you are brothers from Baiyang Village. This lighthouse was built by Xuanhuang Town. It is to guide the surrounding human villages and wandering people to come here, so that everyone can have a chance to communicate. Come in, come in. As long as you are human, Xuanhuang Town welcomes you."

On the city wall, Wang Dahu grinned after hearing the origins of Bai Lang and the others below.

He didn't care whether what was said below was true or false. During the day, Huang Chengyan told them that Xuanhuang Town would open its gates to welcome visitors from all directions, especially those from the villages. This was the foundation for the future expansion of Xuanhuang Town. As long as they were not enemies, they could be welcomed in.

"Xuanhuang Town, this is actually a town."

Bai Lang was shocked again. He originally thought it was a city, but it turned out to be just a town. He was shocked. When he saw Wang Dahu coming down and opening the city gate, he immediately clasped his fists and asked, "May I ask your name, General?"

"My name is Wang Dahu. You've come at the right time. It's dinner time in town now. You're in for a treat. The food in our town is quite good. Let's go in and have a meal together. Then I'll take you to where you're staying so you can have a good night's rest."

Wang Dahu said with a smile.

"In that case, thank you, General Wang."

When Bai Lang heard this, he was immediately delighted and thanked him.

They had been walking in the wilderness for so long that they were already tired, sleepy and hungry.

"Lao Feng, take a few brothers with you and lead the brothers from Baiyang Village over."

Wang Dahu said to Feng Yumo who was standing beside him.

Feng Yumo has good qualifications and is willing to work hard. He is now a general in the army. Although he doesn't talk much, he is down-to-earth and hardworking, and is willing to sacrifice his life for cultivation. Now his cultivation is very good, reaching the second level of the Divine Sea Realm.
