With the fat man backing him up, the matter was quickly resolved.
Three days later, the first batch of low-denomination Primordial Coins was completed and arrived in New Aini City along with a dozen goblins.
Xia Qingyi and Cecilia had already arranged for the construction of the money exchange, and the three Silver Moon Elves designated by Ye Ling were also in place, waiting only for the currency and personnel to be transferred in.
The next day, the Primordial Money Exchange officially opened. It was the first building constructed with foundation stones, apart from Hope Academy. A large number of goblins were already waiting at the counters, waiting for people to deposit money or exchange currency.
Of course, lending services are also available here. Ordinary people can borrow a gold coin without collateral, while merchants can borrow different amounts of gold coins after review, depending on the proposal.
If a city wants to develop rapidly, relying on businessmen is undoubtedly the fastest way. As long as they are given enough benefits, they can do things you can't even imagine.
If Cecilia and his guards rely solely on love to generate electricity, it will be a very long time before New Aini truly develops.
The establishment of the Honghuang Money House caused quite a stir among the general public. Many people had gold coins in hand, but they did not need to buy hundreds of kilograms of grain. Moreover, some ordinary fruits and vegetables were not easy to trade. Therefore, they came to exchange them for low-denomination coins. Soon, most of the gold coins that had been distributed were recovered.
In the populous city of Aini, the majority are still ordinary people.
However, the gold coins that were collected were not wasted. Many merchants saw the opportunity and came to take out loans to engage in various commercial activities.
Xia Qingyi was happy to see this happen. As long as they really wanted to do something, all the loans were approved. Then, the official labor service was gradually withdrawn and handed over to Cecilia as much as possible.
A month later, the first major event in New Aini City finally took place.
In the new city of Ani, which had fewer than 20,000 inhabitants, Cecilia ascended the throne as a prince, becoming the first King of Ani.
However, at this time he no longer had the magnificent palace he once lived in, but simply built a city lord's mansion to handle various daily affairs.
Two months after the Aini arrived on the primordial planet, once everyone had their own place to live and no longer had to worry about food and clothing, the shack renovation project officially began.
This time, instead of Xia Qingyi giving the order and Cecilia organizing it, the various businesses were directly contracted out to merchants in Aini City, who then started developing real estate.
Cecilia controlled the source of building materials, hiring workers to build factories to manufacture them.
Then, based on the planned city construction map, the land is divided into sections and contracted to different businessmen for construction, while the materials are sold to them.
As for demolishing the old shacks first? No problem, we'll pay you! This is the demolition compensation and resettlement allowance. You can build another shack somewhere else to live in. Soon, new houses will be built here, proper cement houses.
The people who received the money were not unhappy at all. It was just a matter of rebuilding a shed, which could be done in a day or two. They all moved away happily.
However, they discovered that self-built houses were prohibited in the city, so they could only move to the suburbs. There was nothing they could do but hope that they could buy the new houses back after they were built.
A complete transaction chain was born, and the entire New Aini City once again entered a period of rapid development.
The rapid development of New Aini City has made other races envious. Unfortunately, their populations are too small to do what the Aini people have done, and they can only develop slowly in the form of tribes or families.
The Ruga tribe, in particular, which has the smallest population, even considered integrating directly into Aini City. However, after thinking about it, they couldn't bear to leave the sea and could only continue living like this.
At the same time, Xia Qingyi has begun to gradually reduce the distribution of gold coins to other races. She plans to focus all her efforts on developing Aini City first, and as for other races, she can only wait for further developments.
Ultimately, whether they integrate or remain independent is entirely up to them. After careful consideration, Ye Chen nodded in agreement. If these foreign races truly cannot retain their independence, then they will have no choice but to give up.
Besides the populous city of Aini, the Elf King City in the eastern part of Xiniuhe Continent has also entered into formal construction. With many high-level professionals and Ye Chen's unreserved resource supply, the Elf King City has not gone through the shack era of Aini City. Instead, it is undergoing exquisite and durable construction, and its luxury is in no way inferior to the cities on Earth.
Most importantly, in addition to the outer city walls and the ordinary urban area, the inner city has a large number of plant-based buildings, such as wooden houses and tree houses, which may seem cheap, but are actually priceless.
A treehouse requires at least a century-old tree to be conceived before it can be used for habitation. Moreover, the ground is paved with bluestone, which is far superior to the muddy roads in Aini City. The entire city is clean and tidy, and has the appearance that a city should have.
Of course, compared to Aini City, it is sparsely populated. After all, the Silver Moon Elves are a rare race, and the entire race consists of women. How to reproduce is a problem that has been giving Ye Chen a headache ever since.
Besides the royal city of the Silver Osmanthus Moon Elves, the Witch Clan, who lived in the Eastern Continent, also began to establish their own tribes. After such a long period of recruitment, the Twelve Ancestral Witches were basically determined. Although the number and strength of the Witch Clan were not as great as those of the Silver Osmanthus Moon Elves or even the Moon Goddess, they were enough to build small tribes.
Based on the rules and powers they had awakened, all the Wu tribes established twelve tribes. They appeared to be scattered but were actually a unified whole, with the Pangu Temple as their center, spreading out in all directions.
Compared to them, the city of Fengdu has been developing much faster. After such a long period of development and several battles, Fengdu has gathered a lot of ghosts, and the ghost officers at all levels have a sufficient number of personnel.
Moreover, shops opened in Fengdu City even earlier than in New Aini City. Some souls living in Fengdu City opened shops with Oros's permission to earn ghost coins used in the underworld.
These ghost coins were forged by Oros after consulting with Ye Chen and discussing with Xia Qingyi, using the special ghost energy spreading from Fengdu City. Therefore, they are not only for currency transactions, but can also be used by ghosts for cultivation.
For a time, the prosperity of Fengdu City even surpassed that of New Aini City. Of course, apart from Ye Chen and some of his clansmen, no one knew about this. After all, the living are not allowed to enter Fengdu, and no living person would want to know about such prosperity.
