“And the mother coin has now merged into my divine throne.”
“When the time comes, the continuously accumulated power of faith, apart from a part being converted into Divine Power, the rest can be used to create more Star Coins, forming a perfect cycle!”
However, he did not need to control things like coin-making personally in the future. As long as he controlled the mother coin, he could control everything. He did not need to worry about any methods or changes.
Therefore, Li Xiang did not continue to forge new Star Coins.
The Coin-making Furnace was a rare treasure. As long as he had materials and could infuse the furnace with energy, it could produce Star Coins endlessly.
Even if no one was pouring in genuine Qi, the Coin-making Furnace itself could still be maintained by absorbing the Heaven and Earth energy. It was just that the efficiency was lower.
Then, Li Xiang brought Yang Mi, Alice, and the others over. Without saying anything, he directly handed the Star Coins to them.
Yang Mi and the others were shocked by the Star Coins in their hands.
Chen Shu blew at the Star Coin curiously. Suddenly, a clear buzzing sound was heard from the Star Coin. It was pleasant to the ears.
“This Star Coin is too perfect. It’s practically a work of art. I can’t bear to use it.” Ning Xiaoyue held a Star Coin with an undisguised fondness on her face.
Yang Mi also praised, “This Star Coin is too exquisite. It’s much better than the coins made by the other major forces. Everyone will immediately accept this kind of coin once it is promoted.”
Zhou Yutong placed a Star Coin on her fingertip and gently flicked it. A crisp sound rang out as the coin turned into a rising golden light that spun in the air. It was stunning.
“No one can reject such a treasure. It’s not just exquisite. Just its ability to increase one’s cultivation is enough to make countless people go crazy over it. This effect is incomparable to any other currency in the Myriad World Continent!”
Alice, Ye Xi, and the others were also astonished.
Ye Xi’s beautiful eyes flashed with astonishment. She slowly said, “The value of such a coin will be even higher than the value of the currency itself. Once it is promoted, who knows what kind of huge impact it will bring to the entire market? I reckon the Alliance of Gods will go crazy.”
Alice sneered, “So what if they go crazy? We’re not afraid of them now! Although they have the backing of a God, a true God can’t descend to the Myriad World Continent. If they’re demigods, what’s there to be afraid of?”
Yang Mi really did not expect that. She initially thought it would take a long time before a new currency could be introduced, but she did not expect Li Xiang to achieve it in one step.
Moreover, the name, Star Coin, was also delightful to hear. She knew Li Xiang would walk the Avenue of Stars, the Divine Path of Stars. It was well deserved for the currency to be called the Star Coin.
Everyone was unable to put down the Star Coin. They all expressed that no one could refuse such a currency.
Seeing that, Li Xiang said, “Since that’s the case, I’ll leave the matter of the coins to you, Sister Mi. I’ll provide you with the Pearl of Faith, 100 million units a day!”
Every believer provided different amounts of power of faith. The smallest amount was one point, and the largest amount could reach up to 100 points. On average, Li Xiang could receive around 200 million points of power of faith every day. If that were converted into Divine Power, that would be 20,000 points of Divine Power.
However, that was before. Once the 300 million or so humans settled down, they would immediately release a large amount of power of faith, and the average value would be even higher.
Therefore, 100 million points of power of faith every day were no pressure for Li Xiang.
“I’ll start mass-producing now. After the black tide passes, I’ll find an opportunity to release the Star Coins into circulation.”
The matter was settled.
According to Li Xiang’s idea, after the Star Coins were produced on a certain scale, they could be promoted in the army.
The army was paid to guard the Kingdom of Dawn every month.
Although points were more valuable, they still needed to eat and drink. They also needed money to support their families. It was only proper for them to serve as soldiers and eat food.
Now that the Kingdom of Dawn was on the right track, they needed to have everything they needed, starting with the military pay.
Similarly, Li Xiang’s heroes also received generous military pay. It didn’t affect them from earning points.
After all, even if they didn’t have any desires, even if they were Angels, they would still have their desires and the things they needed. If they had things they liked but didn’t have the money to buy them, it would be too ridiculous for him to be their master.
Previously, the Kingdom of Dawn had always implemented a half-market and half-ration system from the Trial Continent to the Myriad World Continent. The currency used was gold coins and crystal coins.
However, in reality, very few materials were available on the market.
It was time to open up the market completely.
Restoring the people’s livelihood would be an important national policy in the future.
Only when the people could be self-sufficient would the Kingdom of Dawn be able to develop and grow truly.
“Sister Mi, I plan to start restoring the people’s livelihood while resisting the black tide and outside interference!”
“Oh? What do you want to do?”
In fact, Yang Mi and the others had already begun to prepare for the restoration of the people’s livelihood after discussion, but they had yet to mention it to Li Xiang.
Seeing that he had realized it, they immediately asked.
“Food is the most important thing to the people! Only by satisfying people’s most basic requirements of clothing, food, shelter, and transportation could they be considered to have settled down. Although our plant growth is rapid due to the influence of the system, and we don’t seem to be lacking in food, it is not enough to feed 400 million people by just relying on the small amount of land in the past.”
“Therefore, we must encourage the people to farm and at the same time develop more territories, allowing most people to participate in it. After all, we will obtain more people in the future, and storing food is also the most important thing!”
“Then how should the land be distributed? Is it private ownership or public ownership?”
Li Xiang thought for a moment and said, “For the time being, half private and half public ownership. Half private ownership means that the land belongs to an individual. For half public ownership, the land is not allowed to be traded or merged under no special circumstances to prevent dominating landlords! As long as I’m still alive, the so-called half private ownership is also considered private ownership. It’s just that it can not be traded!”
Yang Mi nodded to show that she understood.
“Then, if the people are encouraged to open up their own land, what about the land they open up?”
“Half of it belongs to the public, and the other half belongs to the private. The meaning is the same as before. What belongs to the country belongs to the country, and what belongs to the private belongs to the private. As long as the person doesn’t take it out to be traded, that land can be inherited forever!”
“However, if some clans are powerful and some organizations can open up more wasteland, those whose families are destroyed will find it difficult to compete with these people.”
“In that case, you guys should study it and set a relatively reasonable limit. Don’t ask me about everything. I won’t care about these trivial matters in the future. But if I go to the people or hear the people praying that there’s a big problem with your policies, I will hold you accountable!”
Yang Mi rolled her eyes at Li Xiang. Wasn’t he just throwing his work at her?
There was no reward for doing a good job, but if she didn’t do a good job, she would be punished!
