Even now, people throughout the entire Southern Region rarely get to eat a banana in a year.

Bananas were a luxury item in the southern regions, enjoyed only by the wealthy and powerful.

Bananas are readily available and very cheap here.

This makes me reflect that if the Southern Region were to be adjacent to the Great Zhou Kingdom, it would not be as impoverished as it is now.

Look closely, everyone. How orderly the people here are, and how well they use the branches.

As soon as he finished speaking, a commotion erupted from the shops behind him.

A large group of men in black, carrying bags and packages, rushed out of a shop and scattered in all directions.

The shop owner chased after them in tears, but could only watch helplessly as they escaped.

Another group of men in black smashed and looted another shop, grabbing a large pile of gold and silver jewelry and running away. They even beat the shopkeeper who tried to stop them.

The patrol personnel not far away, however, paid no attention to this, as if they had long been used to it.

Seeing this, Eunuch Gui remained unfazed and continued speaking to the memory stone: "As I said before, in the Great Zhou Dynasty, everything is so free and unrestrained."

These people did this because of the free purchase program offered by the Great Zhou Folk Customs.

Zero-Yuan Shopping is a special festival established by the Great Zhou Dynasty to give hope to the poorest people who cannot survive.

If you're struggling to make ends meet, you can participate in activities like this to improve your current situation.

Ah, Great Zhou Kingdom, I truly love you so much.

The next second, a group of thugs punched Gui Gonggong to the ground, snatched the recording stone from his hand without saying a word, and left.

On the other side, in a street corner, there were densely packed tents, surrounded by piles of garbage, emitting a stench that made people want to stay away.

Not far away, a long line of ragged people waited to receive relief food.

During this time, people kept cutting in line, and some even got into fights. The situation was so chaotic that there was no order at all.

Suddenly, a man with a dirty face, holding a bowl of thin porridge in one hand and a photo-taking stone in the other, shouted:

"Time for dinner, guys!"

This is Runren from the Northern Region. He thought that coming to the Great Zhou would allow him to live a life of luxury, earn spirit stones, and reach the pinnacle of life.

Unfortunately, reality dealt him a heavy blow. Not only was he disrespected here because he had no status, but he was also frequently cheated out of his wages by unscrupulous shopkeepers.

In a fit of anger, he embarked on another path of glory, mingling among the homeless and causing trouble everywhere.

In another secluded corner, a guy with a face full of lunar craters pointed at a photo-taking stone and kept spouting nonsense:

"I am a citizen of the Great Zhou, you may envy me, but I would rather die than be a citizen of the Great Yin."

Although I don't know if I'll have my next meal, I love Da Zhou, this is my home!

Similar scenes are playing out all over this free and unrestrained country.

Just then, a spirited horse passed by, and a beautiful woman with delicate features sat in the carriage.

Looking through the carriage curtain at the scene on the street, she couldn't help but sigh softly.
