This was the Star Coin, not the gold and silver currency in circulation in the secular world. Its standard of measurement naturally could not be generalized.

Transcendent people’s understanding of the value of money was different from that of ordinary people. Therefore, one had to connfirm this point before issuing it.

Monetary policy naturally had to be prudent. If the value of the currency rose or fell every few days, it would greatly affect the credibility and importance of the currency.

Money concerned the livelihood of the people. The more stable the currency was, the more stable the region would be, the more prosperous commerce would be, and at the same time, it would allow the currency to have credibility.

Only when the currency had credibility could the people and cultivators trust in it. Only then would they dare to hold it for a long time and not worry about their interests being damaged.

Therefore, it was extremely important for him to build a close relationship between the value of Star Coin and the value of the goods.

For example, how much Star Coins was needed to buy 1 jin of fierce beast meat, or how much grain, weapons, salt, and so on could be bought with 1 Star Coins.

All of these need to be carefully measured and referenced. The price of the star currency had to be precisely determined to ensure the value of Star Coins.

“We have been discussing the value of Star Coins. To be prudent, we need to carefully consider it. When the time comes, we will have you confirm it!”

Yang Mi, who had come along, said with a smile.

Li Xiang nodded and said, “Thank you for your hard work! After the military recruitment was completed and the market cities were built, this batch of Star Coins could be popularized. Oh, we also need to establish our banking system to exchange, store, and lend money. However, I need someone with a good character to do this. Most importantly, the banking business is aimed at serving the public and the market. Don’t act like a capitalist. Otherwise, the person will die if I find out!”

Yang Mi nodded solemnly.

The Kingdom of Dawn had a population of more than 400 million people, and there were people from all over the world. It was not difficult to find a few people who were proficient in banking. However, it was not easy to find someone who was capable and had a good character.

“There’s no hurry with the banking business. Let’s set up an office for the time being. When the time comes, we can exchange gold and crystal coins for Star Coins. There’s no need to open other businesses for the time being.”

…

At this moment, it was already evening. However, due to the arrival of the black tide, the Eternal Blazing Sun did not go out at all. It illuminated the entire Kingdom of Dawn as if it was daytime.

However, the daily routine would not change because of this. All the people from shops, factories, and schools had already returned home.

The Eternal Blazing Sun was like the brightest lighthouse in the night. It could be clearly seen even from hundreds of kilometers away.

In Zhenbei City in the northeast, a continuous bell suddenly rang.

Many people who were sitting at the dining table or busy in the kitchen were shocked.

“Bell sound? Could it be that the dark tide has broken through the Starlight Canopy?”

“Impossible! If the Starlight Canopy could be broken through, we would have been notified long ago. Moreover, this bell sound doesn’t sound right either. It’s more like an enemy is approaching!”

“Enemy? All the fierce beasts around our city had been killed long ago. How could any fierce beasts dare to approach? We can only go to a place hundreds of miles away to find the fierce beasts now. It’s hard to eat the meat of fierce beasts!”

“No matter what, let’s go and take a look! If there are really fierce beasts, we can kill a few to improve our life!”

At this time, when the residents of Zhenbei City were preparing dinner at home, the bell rang and everyone was immediately alarmed. They all carried their swords and sabers out of their homes and rushed towards the city wall.

Three miles outside of Zhenbei City was the barrier of the Starlight Canopy. However, there was no black tide raging outside.

Since it was still the early stage of the black tide, it was not particularly rampant. One could vaguely see a group of thousands of people approaching.

This group had a fierce aura. Everyone was carrying weapons and wearing leather armor of different styles and materials as they walked in the wilderness.

The leader was a vigorous man in his thirties. He held a long spear in his hand, and there was a black war bow on his back. There was also a full quiver at his waist.

Although he was not considered handsome, he was full of vigor. His gaze was clear and sharp, and he was very extraordinary.

Behind him were more than a hundred warriors dressed in uniform. Their equipment was almost identical to the man in the lead. They had battle spears, battle bows, and quivers. They were filled with a murderous aura.

“Country lord, we’ve walked for a few days. We’re finally arriving. This should be the Kingdom of Dawn. The one in the sky should be the legendary Eternal Blazing Sun! We can see it clearly even in the dark tide,” a man who looked smart said joyfully.

Zhenbei City was also a city that had been upgraded with the Lord’s Cornerstone. After clearing out the city by the warriors, they had accumulated enough EXP and had already upgraded the city to level 5. It was the highest-level city in the northeast and had the strongest defense.

Everyone looked at a huge city not far behind a sky-piercing light barrier in the distance, and their faces were filled with amazement and joy.

“Wow, this is just a border city, yet it’s already so majestic. If that’s the case, how grand would the City of Dawn be? It’s simply unimaginable!”

“That’s great! We’ve finally found the City of Dawn. I wonder how we’ll be treated!” someone said with both joy and worry.

“Don’t worry. The Kingdom of Dawn’s reputation in the Myriad World Continent is indeed very bad because they’re overbearing and tyrannical. They don’t even put the Alliance of Gods and the other superpowers in their eyes. But that’s against the foreign races. They’re very kind to humans. If our city hadn’t been invaded by the foreign races and we had no choice but to wander around, we could have come to the City of Dawn using a teleportation array. The King of Dawn would definitely willing to accept us.”

“You must know that not long ago, the Kingdom of Dawn traded the Skylight Flowers for a total of 300 million humans. You all know their situation in the hands of the other races. Now the King of Dawn has brought them to the Kingdom of Dawn. It means that he is a knowledgeable and magnanimous expert. We are just a few thousand people. He won’t be on guard of us.”

“Of course, we still have to be vigilant!”

The man in the lead suppressed the excitement in his heart and said seriously.

In fact, he knew that if they had malicious intentions, they would not be able to resist with their meager strength at all.

“Who are you!?”

A team of soldiers from Zhenbei City had already arrived at the edge of the Starlight Canopy and asked with a cold and stern expression.

Zheng Jing looked over and could not help but take in a cold breath.

The equipment on these soldiers looked extremely superior at a glance. There was even a special glow flickering on them.
