Lin Yang walked out of the secret room and returned to the study. He saw Liang Yu waiting for him and showed the reply letter to Liang Yu.

After Liang Yu saw it, he frowned for a moment and smiled.

"The Council of Elders has a long-term vision, yet is grounded in reality. During this period of demonic disasters, we can implement reforms for ordinary people. Our control over the city is arguably the strongest in history. We can find a solution to any problem, and even if we can't, we can immediately suppress it and make corrections. We're obsessed."

Is that so? How is that even possible? Even if he agreed, he only replied with one word. Isn't that strange? No restrictions, no requirements, just one "yes," no other instructions. Do you really think I'm an idiot?

It seems Liang Yu also knows the truth, and he should be able to contact the Council of Elders. Or, there are other people, me, the city lord, hehe...

Lin Yang's eyes flickered, then fell silent, and he smiled.

"I never thought the Council of Elders would actually approve my reform proposal. I submitted the original reform proposal, and I didn't expect it to be approved immediately. I planned to bargain for it. I didn't expect the Council of Elders to approve it. The Council of Elders' generosity and courage are truly beyond my reach."

Liang Yu agreed with the Elders Council. He nodded and said

"Then let's carry out the reform according to your plan."

Liang Yu called the general affairs manager and began to assign tasks.

The first step of Lin Yang’s plan is to inform the purpose and benefits of the reform.

Because many ordinary people have never been to school and cannot read, we can only hire those who can read to read it over and over again so that they can hear and understand it, thus mobilizing the enthusiasm of ordinary people for reform.

Step 2. Household registration.

Because they used to distribute Bigu Pills, they registered once a year to receive them. However, this time, they weren't there to receive the pills, but to register their resident information. They had to provide basic information like name, age, gender, specialties, etc.

The third step is education.

Public schools were opened and attendance of children and adolescents was compulsory.

Literacy classes are offered for adults.

This is also a brainwashing process. During the learning period, loyalty to the Lin family is established! This is also the characteristic of the Lin Yang plan - to make profits for the family. It is very realistic, but also very effective. In this way, it is easy to promote and the promoting family is also motivated.

Step 4: Assign work.

Understand yourself in the learning process and then assign work.

Because everything was in ruins, all the workshops were built by the Lin family. They were specially built for ordinary people, and the people working in them were also ordinary people, and the people who managed them were also ordinary people.

Because ordinary people couldn't sign the Heavenly Dao Contract, Liang Yu and the others felt uncomfortable. Lin Yang then created a contract based on the Heavenly Dao Contract. After notarization, it became legally binding. It didn't involve Heavenly Punishment, but it did involve a criminal penalty.

Step five: unify the currency and open the market.

This step actually had a precedent in the Great Zhou Dynasty, namely gold, silver and copper coins. However, due to the demon disaster, they were trapped in the base and unable to mine these minerals. Therefore, Lin Yang opened a bank based on the credit of the Lin family and invented paper money to replace gold, silver and copper coins.

With workshops producing goods, money began to circulate, and gradually a market was formed. With the market, Lin Yang lifted the restrictions on private workshops, banks began to release goods, and gradually private workshops began to emerge like mushrooms after rain.

Step 6: Culture and entertainment.

After his material life was up to standard, Lin Yang began to innovate and reform in entertainment.

Lin Yang directly brought out the newspaper, a new thing. Because of literacy, many people might be able to understand it.

Secondly, they picked up the music, literary works, etc. of the Zhou Dynasty to enrich their cultural and entertainment life.

Lin Yang's reform of the ordinary people system attracted the attention of many cultivators.

Watching the lives of ordinary people slowly change and the emergence of many new things also makes them feel very fresh.

The bank took advantage of the situation and launched a business of exchanging spirit stones for banknotes.

As the reforms for ordinary people were completed, cultivators felt that their lives were worse than those of ordinary people.

So Lin Yang took advantage of the situation and began to create new workshops and shops in the cultivator city.

For example, newspapers were not made of paper, but rather jade slips with inscriptions. This also found a use for jade slips with inscriptions, opening up a market for them.

You should know that among the jade slip workshops, text jade slips have the largest output, but their sales are getting narrower and narrower, and many cultivation forces can refine them on their own, so the competition is very fierce.

The large number of jade slips produced can only be stored in warehouses, taking up a lot of space.

The government of the Xiuzhen District was also established. It was no longer just managed by a few general affairs managers, but was divided into various specialized units.

For example, the Ministry of Transportation, the Ministry of Public Health, the Patrol Department, etc.

The city’s system was gradually improved, making the city clean and tidy.

The people of Guigu City did not feel it deeply because they were there, but the caravans coming and going felt it clearly.

It looked the same when they came last month, but when they came again, in just one or two months, there were huge changes, as if it had become a completely different city, which surprised them.

A year later, Lin Yang finally completed the urban management task.

Lin Yang was finally freed from the mundane affairs.

"Ding——Random task: Refining the Five Elements Hunyuan Spirit Sword

Task: A sword cultivator in the foundation-building stage needs a natal magic sword as the basis for sword cultivation.

Reward: Cultivate spiritual energy to the primary foundation-building stage."

The cultivation period of the foundation-building stage took even longer, and even after half a year, he still hadn't reached the primary foundation-building stage. A conservative estimate would require at least two to three years.

The main reason is that the spiritual roots absorb spiritual energy too slowly.

If the spiritual energy is provided by the system, the spiritual roots do not need to absorb the spiritual energy, and the speed limit of the spiritual roots absorbing spiritual energy is removed. It can cultivate to the perfection of the primary foundation building stage at the fastest speed.

Moreover, if one has a matching natal magic sword, there will be no bottleneck in the foundation-building period. Once one has completed the primary foundation-building period, one can naturally advance to the intermediate foundation-building period.

Lin Yang went into seclusion again and entered the virtual space to study and research the 'Five Elements Hunyuan Spirit Sword'.

The Five Elements Hunyuan Spirit Sword requires refining six swords: five Five Elements Swords and one Hunyuan Sword.

Through sword formations and secret techniques, the five elements are united into one, forming the Five Elements Hunyuan Sword.

After a year of research and experimentation in the virtual space, Lin Yang finally became fully proficient and began to refine in reality.

The first sword he chose to refine was the Wood Spirit Sword he got at the beginning.

Lin Yang had been studying the Wood Spirit Sword Refining Method for the longest time, and had done the most thorough research. He also had the highest success rate when experimenting in virtual space.

I thought refining it in reality shouldn't be difficult, but...
