The appearance of the Procreation Stone made Ye Chen realize that even in the hands of these newborns, there should be quite a few high-quality resources.
Leaving aside the resources that second and third-generation lords obtain from their families, even ordinary lords who are lucky enough to pass the novice trial receive rewards that are not much different.
If we were to collect these things, they would definitely greatly promote the development of our territory.
Thinking of this, Ye Chen immediately talked to the fat man and proposed that each auction would no longer be a simple auction, but would be transformed into a trade fair, to see if they could collect some rare treasures.
The fat man immediately clapped his hands in agreement with the suggestion. He had even had this idea himself, but hadn't had time to sort it out yet.
The two talked about it for a whole day, and even invited Xia Qingyi and Tao Ping to come along. Finally, they finalized a general plan, and were just waiting for Fatty to plan and execute it.
Xia Qingyi, being a capable and hardworking individual, was temporarily seconded to Fatty's territory. On one hand, she was following up on this matter, and on the other hand, she was also helping Fatty adjust some aspects of the territory's financial system.
With this major matter settled, Ye Chen resumed his studies. To be honest, what these new lords lacked most was basic knowledge. The month-long lord training after awakening only taught them how to survive in the trial space and how to become a formal lord.
What should they do after becoming official lords? They'll have to figure that out on their own. Even some lord training courses are too expensive for them to afford right now.
Therefore, Ye Chen could only seek answers in books and follow the paths taken by his predecessors to find his own way out.
At least next time I won't have to rack my brains trying to figure out what things are useful to the lord, what things I should look for at what stage, and what journey I should go through.
Take the Procreation Stone for example. If Fatty hadn't happened to receive it, he wouldn't have remembered it at all. There are just too many things in the myriad worlds. Different planes even have different names for the same thing. If you're not particularly familiar with it, it's really difficult to remember.
Time flies, and six years have passed in the blink of an eye. Ye Chen and his group have been in the Cave of Time for ten years. The students of the Elf Royal Academy have graduated one after another, and several more classes have been enrolled since then.
Harold and the others graduated from the Elven Royal Academy at a young age, and each of them had their own unique experiences.
Sarah chose to stay at the school and become a tutor at the Elf Royal Academy. Her strength had already reached the fourth tier. If she were in her original world, she would definitely be a world-class powerhouse.
Catherine returned to New Aini City to assist her brother in building the new Aini Empire. She also served as the vice principal of Hope Academy, passing on the knowledge she had learned from the Elf Royal Academy to more people.
As for Harold and his two companions, they were not content with being idle. While still students, they formed a mercenary guild together, allowing them to continue exploring the entire Xiniuhe Continent and completing various commissions in the form of a mercenary group.
Of course, Ye Chen guided the formation of the mercenary group. Over the years, he found that the population of this group of people had grown rapidly, but they were scattered and disorganized. How could such a group of people be united into a force and made to fight for the Primordial Star?
Whether relying on the strong policies of the territory or the overall planning of New Aini City, it is extremely difficult. After all, when an individual's strength reaches a certain level, it becomes very difficult for the country to restrict them. They can even choose to leave the Primordial Star directly, form an interstellar team, and develop on their own.
Ye Chen thought about it for a long time, and discussed it with Fatty, Xia Qingyi, Ye Chen and others. Finally, he decided to launch the mercenary group to unite the strength of these scattered soldiers.
However, they wanted to keep the mercenary group firmly under their control. Therefore, the mercenary guild leaders had to be people they trusted, as well as newcomers recognized by the people. Only in this way could they gain a strong sense of belonging.
Therefore, Ye Chen could not use his own clan to form a mercenary guild, so Harold and others who were familiar with him and had high hopes for him came into being.
With guidance step by step, Harold and others eventually created the prototype of the Mercenary Guild. Subsequently, with the intentional help of many mentors in the academy, it eventually developed into New Aini City, and the city lord Cecilia also provided strong support through her relationship with Catherine.
The Mercenary Guild developed rapidly in this environment and soon became the largest guild organization in the entire Xiniuhe Continent.
Moreover, since the form of guilds has emerged, it is naturally impossible for the Mercenary Guild to be the only guild. Various other organizations, such as the Mage Association and the Knights' Hall, have been established to gather relevant talents.
However, unlike the Mercenary Guild, these professional organizations are all under Ye Chen's control. As official organizations of the Primordial Star, they allow people of different professions to find their place.
Different organizational structures require different management models; there are significant differences between professional organizations and mercenary guilds.
"Finally, it's starting to look like a Western fantasy world!" With the establishment of the Mercenary Guild and various organizations, Ye Chen couldn't help but exclaim. Xiniu Hezhou was finally starting to resemble a Western fantasy world.
This can be considered as following his predetermined route. In the primordial mythology, Xiniu Hezhou was destroyed by the Demon Ancestor and the Dao Ancestor, but on his primordial planet, everything is intact. So let Xiniu Hezhou develop into a Western fantasy world, while Dongsheng Shenzhou will be a place of pilgrimage in the East.
Over the past decade, in addition to the establishment of major guilds, the population of the entire Primordial Star has also experienced a boom. The population of New Aini City has exceeded 50,000, with an average of about five children per household. Once this group of people grows up, the next step will be explosive growth.
Thirty years have not yet passed halfway, and Ye Chen still has plenty of time to wait for them to develop.
Not only in New Aini City, but the population of the Witch Clan has also grown rapidly. With the advancement of the Pangu Palace, the recruitment speed of the Witch Clan has accelerated. Coupled with the Witch Clan's own reproductive ability, the Witch Clan has grown to tens of thousands of people in ten years, with more than 10,000 combatants of the fourth rank or above. They are considered one of the strongest combat forces under Ye Chen's command.
Of course, when it comes to numbers, the Fire Crow is still the most important. The entire Sun Star and even the Western Continent are covered with Fire Crows. Ye Chen roughly calculated that there are at least a million of them, which exceeds the total number of all other races.
