Time flies and another month has passed.
During this month, it can be said that Xuanhuang Town has once again undergone earth-shaking changes.
The implementation of private ownership immediately activated and stirred up the atmosphere in the town. The transformation from stagnant water to living water was not just a system implemented in the town, but also a transformation that the townspeople had been expecting to happen.
With everyone's cooperation, the transition went very smoothly.
Many people have found ways to make a living.
Even those without any skills can go to the crystal mine to mine, help build houses, carry stones and wood, or even go fishing, hunt beasts in the jungle, or even pick medicinal herbs. As long as you are willing, it is almost impossible to starve to death or go hungry. The town is in ruins and has too many jobs. As long as you are willing, have a dream, and are willing to work hard.
Then there is a chance of realization.
It didn't take much effort before.
Now, in addition to cultivation, I also need to work hard to obtain the necessary resources for my cultivation. The expectation for the future has brought about a radical change in my entire spirit. I am filled with a strong fighting spirit that was rarely seen before.
In just one month, the changes that have taken place are incomparable to those in the previous few months.
It truly presents a scene of prosperity.
The original market town has completely become the most lively and prosperous street in the entire Xuanhuang Town.
"What a prosperous street! I didn't expect to see such a lively scene in such troubled times. It's simply incredible." Standing in front of the street, looking at the endless stream of people coming and going, Mu Guiying couldn't help but reveal a trace of surprise on her heroic face.
"Well, Sister Mu, you have been practicing in seclusion these days and have not noticed the changes in the town. This time, you are free and Brother Yi doesn't have any other important things to deal with, so it's a good opportunity for us to go out and have fun together. I heard that many new shops have opened in the town. Many new and novel items have appeared. In addition, there is a shop specializing in ready-made clothes. It is said that many of the clothes there are very novel and beautiful. They are popular in the whole town."
Cai Yan said with a chuckle.
"Let's go. In this month, private ownership has replaced public ownership. Now we need to see what effects this transition has." Yi Tianxing said calmly.
A month is neither long nor short.
The one-month transition period can be said to have passed quite smoothly. There were no major disturbances. Instead, it felt like a natural outcome.
Actually, this is not surprising. After all, when they came to the Eternal Continent, although the country was destroyed and the families were scattered, it cannot be denied that all the people, almost all human beings, have lived their whole lives in a civilized society. Even in ancient times, when it was a feudal system, it was still a civilization. It was also a private system. The law still protected the private rights of personal property. It itself did not come from the primitive era.
These things were recognized and acknowledged from the very beginning.
This transition is a natural process. There is no question of acceptance or rejection.
Instead, I feel like a fish in water.
Smart people have found opportunities and started planning their future.
One month is a perfect transition.
During this period of time, Yi Tianxing did not deliberately control the transition process, or even the changes in it. He just kept practicing, watching with cold eyes, and silently waiting for the transformation to begin.
This is also the first time I have come to this market and this street in person. I am ready to experience the changes in the town firsthand.
Originally, he only planned to take Cai Yan for a stroll, but after hearing this, Cai Yan pulled Mu Guiying along. Yi Tianxing naturally had no objection to this.
A man and two women, three people walked together into the street.
With the looks and temperament of the two women, it is understandable that they attracted a lot of attention. However, most of them recognized Yi Tianxing and his men, and although they showed respect on their faces, they tacitly did not disturb them. They even slightly made way for them to pass through smoothly.
Obviously, I didn't want to disturb their leisurely shopping time.
After becoming monks, the townspeople naturally developed a kind of bearing that they did not have before as ordinary people.
"Sister Mu, look, this store seems to be a jewelry store. Luo Ji Jewelry Store. Why don't we go in and take a look."
Walking on the street, Cai Yan suddenly pointed at a shop and spoke.
This shop is not simple at first glance. There are a lot of people coming in and out of the door, and women are the most numerous. People who go in have expectations on their faces, and when they leave, they have joy and reluctance on their faces.
"Let's go in and take a look together."
Yi Tianxing saw it and nodded.
The three of them walked in together.
The store was not very big, but not small either. It was night time now, and the lights were on inside, which did not affect the sight at all, and everything was clearly visible.
In this store, you can clearly see many shelves.
On the shelves, there are beautifully carved wooden boxes, each containing a piece of exquisite jewelry.
Yi Tianxing glanced over and nodded secretly.
Among these ornaments, there are beads carved from the heart of an ancient tree in the forest, which can be worn on the wrist. Each bead is carved with various patterns with superb skills. For example, there are twelve zodiac patterns, which are made of twelve wooden beads connected together to form a bracelet. The carved twelve zodiac animals are lifelike and vivid. If you look at them casually, you might think they are alive. They exude a kind of spirituality.
It is very beautiful and exquisite, and it is so lovely that you can't put it down when you hold it in your hand.
There are also beautifully carved phoenix hairpins, silver hairpins made of silver, bracelets, etc. It can be seen that the owner of this shop has already achieved a very high level of skill in making jewelry. Even if his skills were not up to par before, after becoming a monk, his strength and even the subtle control of his body can make his skills improve by leaps and bounds. Going further is a piece of cake.
"What a beautiful phoenix-head hairpin, Sister Zhaoji, you will look even more beautiful if you wear it." Mu Guiying said, pointing at a phoenix-head hairpin.
"Come, let me help you put it on and try it on."
Yi Tianxing walked forward with a smile, picked up the phoenix hairpin, and said to Cai Yan.
A trace of embarrassment appeared on Cai Yan's face. She did not object and lowered her head to let Yi Tianxing help her put it on her head.
The phoenix-headed hairpin, gleaming with silver light, adds a touch of elegance and grace. Adds a touch of color.
"Very beautiful, it suits you very well." Yi Tianxing looked at it carefully and nodded. The craftsmanship is really good, lifelike, and just the right amount of beauty.
"Yes, sister, you are so beautiful." Mu Guiying also showed surprise and exclaimed.
"Sister Mu, pick one too. I'll give it to you." Cai Yan was delighted when she heard this. She touched the hairpin on her head. This was the first piece of jewelry Yi Tianxing gave her. Although it was not a magic weapon, in her heart, it was more precious than a magic weapon.
"I think the bracelet is nice, the twelve zodiac animals are very lifelike. I'll take this one." Mu Guiying was not as shy as a woman. She took the bracelet in her hand, put it on her wrist, waved it, and seemed to like it very much.
"Boss, how much are these two pieces of jewelry?"
Yi Tianxing glanced at the other ornaments in the store. There were quite a few of them. However, the quality was similar, and they were all carved by the same person. The items were ordinary items, and the materials might not be bad, but the value was not the materials, but the craftsmanship.
A middle-aged man immediately stepped forward and said with a smile on his face: "Mayor, you are too polite. It is an honor for us to have you come to our shop. Since Miss Cai and Miss Mu like these two things, I will give them to you as a gift. How can I accept any money from you, Mayor? If it were not for your blessing, I would have been dead for who knows how long." From his words, it seemed that he had no intention of accepting any money.
Besides, he is not a fool.
These things were all made by him. In his mind, they were not valuable, nor were they magical instruments or treasures. If he gave them away, he would just need to spend some time to remake them. But if word got out that the accessories worn by Cai Yan and Mu Guiying were given away by his Luo Ji Accessories Store, his reputation would be known immediately. The benefits it brought would be beyond what one or two pieces of accessories could bring.
"To do business, to buy and sell goods, you have to pay. The payment and goods are settled, this is business. When we enter the store, our identities are customers, guests, and we have no other identities. The price should be the price. I am the mayor, and I need to lead by example."
Yi Tianxing shook his head and said with a smile.
Money is easy to repay, but favors are not. Although this can't be considered a favor, we cannot set this precedent.
Lead by example. Once the word gets out, no one in the town will dare to bully or break the rules. This is what it means to lead by example. Sometimes, when you are in a high position, you need to pay more attention to your code of conduct.
There are some things that should not be crossed.
good for everyone!!
"Well... well, the phoenix-head hairpin is five cents, and the twelve zodiac beads are three cents. The total is eight cents."
The boss heard it, hesitated slightly, and then spoke.
"Isn't the currency Eternal Coin? When will it be calculated in wen?"
When Yi Tianxing heard this, a strange look flashed in his eyes and he spoke slowly.
"The mayor may not know."
Shopkeeper Luo said, "Eternal coins are so precious. Each one is like a panacea and is a top-grade resource for cultivation. If you want to measure the value of each one, it is difficult to define some items that are not used in cultivation. The value of the eternal coins is too far from the value of the goods themselves. But later someone came up with a solution."
"It was discovered that when practicing, as one absorbs the energy contained in the Eternal Coin, a portion of the gold will disappear. When all the energy inside is absorbed, it will turn white and completely disappear, turning into nothingness. So, someone divided an Eternal Coin into ten parts according to the size of the gold part. If one tenth of an Eternal Coin is white and nine tenths is gold, then it is a few cents. If nine tenths is white, then it is one cent."
