The alien races that do not have good intentions towards the human race dare not easily come to the human race's trade. If they do so, they will undoubtedly walk into a trap. The alien races are not so stupid. Moreover, these alien races with good intentions, fundamentally, see the powerful strength of the human race, or the Dayi Dynasty, and unconsciously put themselves in the position of weaklings in front of the Dayi Dynasty.
What's more, Dayi has too many things that the foreign tribes want.
For example, Eternal Coins, various daily necessities, and spiritual rice. The more daily necessities, the more the aliens want them, and the more scarce they are. There are very few alien races that can make these fine items.
Therefore, many foreign tribes are no less enthusiastic than humans in their desire to open up trade.
This time, Mao Sui returned with the wishes of many foreign tribes to start a trade, and even the final location of the trade, as well as the final specifications of the trade, all of which needed Yi Tianxing's personal approval. Whether to choose a place in the existing fairy city or a location outside of Dayi, all of these needed to be carefully discussed and found a balance between the two.
"It's almost time to start the trade."
When Yi Tianxing heard this, he nodded in agreement.
"Yes, I also think that the time is ripe to open a trade. In Dayi, the Iron Blood Great Town is now suppressing the border. The alien races have many good things that we humans don't have, and there are also special products that only alien races can get. By opening a trade, we can gather the resources of the surrounding alien races and continuously enhance the foundation of Dayi. We can obtain continuous benefits from it."
Xue Jin took a step forward and spoke, his expression also showing a hint of excitement.
Naturally, as the Minister of Revenue, he was the happiest when the mutual trade was opened, because it would bring endless benefits to Dayi. Naturally, the money in the national treasury would increase rapidly. These were all visible benefits.
It will be of great benefit to the development of Dayi. Naturally, I strongly agree with it.
"The trade can be opened, but I think that the various immortal cities in Dayi are not suitable as the places for opening the trade. The best location is a brand new immortal city. It doesn't even need complete facilities, just a location. In this immortal city, it is completely possible not to let the people settle there, but to use it as a place for trading with foreign races."
Jia Xu said thoughtfully.
To trade with each other, it is natural that they must feel safe with each other. If they were in the Immortal City of the human race, where there are human races everywhere, no matter who they are, they would probably be very nervous. Under the tense atmosphere, the situation of the trade would become very difficult. They might even get into trouble.
A new fairy city was built specifically for trade.
The purpose of entering is to trade and exchange what they have. There is no need for a large number of troops to be stationed there. The only requirement is to make the human race and the various alien races trust each other. Moreover, the rules of the trade must be beneficial to both parties and recognized by both parties.
"Well, I also think that the time is ripe for the opening of the mutual trade. Since the mutual trade is a formal contact between the human race and the alien tribes, it is completely feasible to build a fairy city as the venue for the mutual trade. Moreover, I suggest that this fairy city should not be populated by human civilians or alien cultivators. When the mutual trade is opened, the human race and the major alien tribes should go there at the same time. In the fairy city, human soldiers and alien warriors should be stationed together to patrol and rectify the mutual trade to ensure the rules of the mutual trade and fairness. Only when both sides have garrisons can the vigilance in each other's hearts be reduced to the lowest level and will not be affected too much by the outside world."
Master Lu suggested.
"Well, in normal times, this fairy city can be turned into an empty city. Only at certain times will the market be opened to welcome cultivators from all races. Here, sharing what you have is the most important thing."
Jia Xu also nodded in agreement.
Soon after, many important officials in the hall began to offer suggestions, which gradually solidified the idea of mutual trade.
After listening to all the opinions, Yi Tianxing nodded and said, "Very good. In this case, the trade will be settled here. We will rebuild a fairy city. This fairy city will not be used to suppress the wilderness, but only for trade. As a place for trade, we, Great Yi, can garrison the fairy city together with those foreign tribes with good intentions. I decided to name this fairy city - Nameless City. This fairy city does not need a name. Its existence is to start the trade."
Nameless and nameless, famous because of being nameless.
"Also, you, Mao Sui, need to go in person to inform other alien races about this matter. You are the most suitable person for such a matter."
Yi Tianxing looked at Mao Sui again and said.
"I will do my duty."
When Mao Sui heard this, a hint of confidence appeared on his face and he agreed without hesitation.
"Your Majesty, I have something to say."
At this time, Cai Yong stepped forward and spoke.
"Father-in-law, please speak."
Yi Tianxing saw it, nodded and said, his expression softened a little.
"I have said before that I am no longer interested in officialdom and have no intention of getting involved in officialdom. The Immortal Academy is enough for me to spend the rest of my life managing. So, this time, I plan to resign from the position of Minister of Rites. I'd better leave this position to someone more suitable."
Cai Yong said this with a smile, and there was no sign of reluctance or even joking in his expression, instead he looked completely relaxed and free.
At the beginning, he expressed that he had lost interest in the officialdom. The Immortal Academy was the career he wanted to promote the most. This was more worthy of his life's efforts than being in the officialdom. He accepted it before because there was no suitable candidate in Dayi. Now he felt it was time to resign.
"this... ... ... "
When Yi Tianxing heard this, he hesitated slightly.
With Cai Yong's reputation, being the Minister of Personnel was absolutely the popular choice, and no one could say a word against it.
To be honest, he didn't want Cai Yong to leave. Such a great scholar, even if he didn't speak, was a stabilizing force in the court and played a vital role. However, Cai Yong was obviously not interested in a career in officialdom, and forcing him was not in Yi Tianxing's character.
Although he was helpless, he finally nodded after thinking for a while and said, "Since my father-in-law has no intention of pursuing a career in politics, I can't force him. I agree to resign."
As soon as the words fell, an invisible brand was seen detaching from Cai Yong's body, and then an official seal as flawless as white jade flew out of his body. This was the official seal of the Minister of Rites.
Without the official post, the seal could no longer be in charge. This represented the identity and fate of the Minister of Rites.
"Mao Sui Ting Feng!!"
Yi Tianxing looked at the official seal, then looked at Mao Sui and said in a deep voice.
"I am here."
When Mao Sui heard this, he immediately stepped forward respectfully and stood in the center of the hall.
"Today, Mao Sui went on a diplomatic mission to a foreign tribe and opened up the trade. He made indelible contributions and brought benefits to future generations. He has made immeasurable contributions. I hereby appoint him as the Minister of Rites, a first-rank official. I hope you will continue to make more contributions to Dayi in the future."
After making the decision, Yi Tianxing immediately uttered a voice. With a wave of his hand, a list flashing with nine colors appeared on the dragon table in front of him. The list exuded a unique aura, which was connected with the luck of the entire Great Yi Dynasty.
It was the Investiture of the Gods.
"Edict: Mao Sui is the Minister of Rites of the Great Yi Dynasty. He is ranked first and enjoys the status of heaven and earth."
As Yi Tianxing opened his mouth to confer the title, a line of words suddenly appeared on the List of Gods.
Mao Sui's name appeared prominently on the list.
Then, in Yi Tianxing's hand, the Xuanhuang Jade Seal was printed on it, and the Conferred God List flashed with light. Suddenly, an invisible force appeared in the void and merged into Mao Sui's body. At the same time, a trace of true spirit naturally entered the Conferred God List in Mao Sui's body, and then appeared in the Hall of Ten Thousand Immortals, turning into a statue exactly the same as Mao Sui.
Moreover, this sound of the imperial decree spread throughout the entire Dayi in an instant.
Under an invisible force, it appeared in the ears of every human cultivator. This feeling was very magical.
At the same time, Mao Sui clearly felt an invisible force pouring into his body like a tide. The skills in his body started to work crazily without any need to be activated, and his cultivation and mana were increasing crazily. The absorption and refining of the heaven and earth's vitality was more than ten times faster than usual.
"This is... the return of good fortune!!"
Mao Sui was overjoyed. He had heard before about the good fortune that could be gained after being conferred a title. This time he felt it with his own eyes and realized that it was even more magical than what he had heard. Moreover, with the blessing of good fortune, his cultivation speed was more than ten times faster than usual.
A first-grade destiny can increase the speed of cultivation by eighteen times.
In an instant, one could see that the aura in Mao Sui's body was rising madly at a speed visible to the naked eye. He was getting stronger too fast. This was the great fortune of receiving the first blessing of luck.
This is a non-hazardous improvement.
Even Mao Sui couldn't help showing a look of pleasure and felt happy in his heart.
When the other people in the hall saw this, they all smiled. They had experienced this feeling before and naturally knew what it felt like.
"I was deified on the spot, and my luck fed back to me. I could also get my destiny enhanced. Is this the Yunchao Dynasty? It's really magical."
Zhuge Liang's eyes lit up when he saw it, and his heart was secretly shocked. Seeing this scene with one's own eyes still had a great impact on one's heart.
After a long time, the breath in Mao Sui's body began to become stable.
The first thing he did when he woke up was to bow and thank the king: "Your Majesty, I am the Minister of Rites Mao Sui. I thank you for the title. I, Mao Sui, am willing to die for the Great Yi. I will never regret it."
The voice was sonorous and powerful, and the will contained in it could be felt by everyone. It was sincere and unswerving.
"Okay, stand up. This is the reward you deserve. As long as you have talent, I will not hesitate to give you any reward in Dayizhong."
Yi Tianxing nodded.
