Chapter 1120 Freedom City
In the Five Elements Spirit World, King Earth Spirit and Sima Xuan finally landed on the Western Continent with less than 5,000 people left. Looking at the remaining people around him, King Earth Spirit roared to the sky, while Sima Xuan sat numbly on the shore. By the side, there is no brilliance in the eyes.
Sima Xuan was in despair. In this closed five-element spirit world·1, they had no way out.
Looking up numbly, Sima Xuan even saw the aerospace aircraft carriers slowly floating in the sky; these aerospace aircraft carriers were salvaging robots in the ocean, etc. Sima Xuan understood that they were collecting data. These data were contributed by hundreds of thousands of masters in the sanctuary with their lives.
"Let's go!" After the Earth Spirit King sent a message for help through the means of the five elements and the spirit world, he led the remaining 5,000 people forward. Everyone was extremely exhausted. But they were so tired that they didn't even bother to move their fingers.
Not just physical exhaustion, not just mental exhaustion, but also mental exhaustion!
When the whole person is buried in despair, when the whole life does not feel a glimmer of hope, it is enough to make people fall into a boundless hell. This is the case for the remaining people in the Five Elements Spirit World at this time. Although they are on a bright beach, they cannot feel hope and light.
But along the way, they did not suffer any attack, and there was no sign of an aerospace aircraft carrier in the sky.
"Could it be that Shang Guo has changed his nature?" Sima Xuan's eyes had a little brilliance. Of course, this brilliance is very fragile and can be blown away by a gust of wind.
Finally Sima Xuan and the others saw the people from the Western Continent, and the situation was much better than Sima Xuan and the others had imagined. There is actually a settlement initially formed by caves here, and even has a certain scientific foundation, and there are more than 20,000 people in a settlement.
According to the person who greeted them, there are many such settlements. Because the Western Continent retreated earlier, there are at least 300 million survivors here.
300 million? There is still hope! The eyes of Sima Xuan and the others burst into light.
Everyone stayed, and the exhausted Sima Xuan and others slept like dead pigs; however, in the middle of the night, Sima Xuan was awakened by the noise.
"What's going on?" Sima Xuan and others came out of the cave, only to find that cremation was being held at the scene. A member of the Fire Spirit Tribe was manipulating a real fire to incinerate several corpses into ashes.
"What's wrong?" Sima Xuan asked with some horror, why did he want to 'destroy his bones and throw his ashes'?
The leader shook his head and sighed: "I don't know what's wrong, in the past half a month, people have always died inexplicably, and they were also infected. After several painful lessons, we have to spark the dead people."
"Since recently?" Sima Xuan was thoughtful, and suddenly, Sima Xuan's eyes widened: "Is it some kind of weapon released by the Shang Kingdom?"
The leader of the settlement shook his head, sighed and said nothing. Is it necessary to make such a clear distinction? Is it not good to be a little confused? Life is already so hard, just leave a fig leaf behind.
Sima Xuan looked at the flames in front of him, but the light in his eyes gradually disappeared. In the flames, Sima Xuan seemed to see the ferocity of despair.
So far, Sima Xuan has completely understood that there is no hope for the Five Elements Spirit World. Shang Guo has already regarded this place as an experimental base.
The remote Ani Five Elements Spirit Realm is a small world, and even ascension is impossible. Could it be that only death can free you?
It seemed that Sima Xuan's idea had been verified. In the next few days, people committed suicide continuously, and the number increased. A feeling called despair is spreading in the Western Continent; and suicide is already the only decent way of death for survivors of the Five Elements Spirit World—at least, it is a method of relief that one chooses.
…………
The people of the Shang country no longer paid attention to the world around them. Because they already have new hope and direction.
After Yan Ze'an's speech, everyone is making final preparations.
The private banking system was opened up, relevant laws were promulgated, and the great financial era of stock trading by all people began to come. With the prosperity of the capital of the Shang Dynasty and the prosperity of the market, a large amount of foreign capital also began to flow into the Shang Dynasty.
In just a few days, the prices of many stocks in Shangguo rose all the way, reaching the daily limit almost every day; they continued to rise after the market opened the next day. Many people are even complaining - the laws of Shang Country are too strict, why is there a daily limit at this time, and the restriction should be lifted quickly.
In the end, this request was even sent to Li Xian. Faced with the passionate emotions of the people, Li Xian said quietly: "Be prepared for danger in times of peace!"
With just four words, a large number of people's applications were turned back; of course, this was because what Li Xian said made sense, and Li Xian also deeply understood the irrationality of the capital market. If you really open up the market, you will actually harm the market.
Just like a kite, if the capital market is a kite that is constantly rising, then the laws of a commercial country are the ropes that hold the kite. This is containment, guidance, and protection.
But even so, Shangguo's stocks still doubled in price in about four to six days; in less than a month, the prices of many Shangguo's stocks rose crazily by nearly 20 times.
Almost overnight, tens of thousands of enterprises in Shangguo crossed the threshold of 100 million taels of gold. Wealth brings indescribable luck, and there is even a golden luck circulating over the entire Shang Kingdom, visible to the naked eye. Especially in the core area of the Shang Kingdom, once in the area of the Great Xia Kingdom, there were even colorful streamers flickering in the sky.
The Shang Kingdom at this time was like a fairyland on earth; almost 80% of the wealth in Yingzhou, Haozhou, and Donghai flowed into the Shang Kingdom.
Under such circumstances, in the cities of the Shang Kingdom, there are people who have made breakthroughs in cultivation almost all the time, and some people have been promoted to three levels in a row, jumping all the way from the stage of transforming gods to the stage of crossing the catastrophe, and their cultivation speed is unprecedented; Miracles are happening almost every moment.
In this way, a virtuous circle was formed, allowing more masters to flow into the Shang Kingdom, which also brought more wealth; and after these masters were upgraded, they came back to attract more friends.
The Big Dipper City in Shang Kingdom was already overcrowded. The so-called Jindan is not as good as a dog, and Yuanying walks all over the ground, which is probably the true portrayal of Beidoucheng. Here in Beidou Valley, rockets are launched every day, and people continue to reach the moon.
The state of Shang, which has developed to the present level, is already a giant. Even those ancient sects have to lower their high heads in front of the state of Shang.
Under such circumstances, Shang Guo once again threw out a thunderbolt: to build a free city.
The construction method of Liberty City is also unprecedented. Shang Guo delineated the location of Freedom City, gave a plan, and forecasted the development prospects; and then raised funds for the construction of Freedom City from the whole society in the form of stocks.
The entire Liberty City will become the business center, technology center, exchange center, civilization and culture center of the new era of Shang Kingdom, a place of freedom. The latest international university will also be located here.
According to the plan, Liberty City will have at least 10 teleportation arrays.
The two teleportation arrays are connected to Beidou City, allowing the two cities to realize barrier-free communication.
The two teleportation arrays are connected to Qingcheng, which was once the first overseas colony of the Shang Kingdom in the east of the Yue Kingdom.
A teleportation formation connects Wuyang City, once the imperial capital of the Great Xia Kingdom.
A teleportation array connects to Baihua Valley, which was once the core of Xiang Kingdom.
A teleportation array connected to the Lingxiao Mountains, mainly aimed at the central area of Yingzhou.
A teleportation array connects the Dragon Tooth Empire.
A teleportation formation connects Liao Kingdom in the north.
There is also a teleportation array connected to Ningguo in the east of Yingzhou.
In addition, this new city also has complete water, land and air transportation, where multiple highway and railway arteries meet. Before the entire city was built, it already had the grandeur of an 'imperial capital'.
The entire city is expected to invest 800 billion taels of gold; 800 billion shares of stock will be split and sold to the whole society.
It is estimated that the city will take 8 months to build, and it will be able to pay back in one year; after 3 years, it will enter the period of maximum profitability and continue to develop. Those who buy stocks will get income in the form of dividends and share the city's tax revenue.
This data is simply against the sky; but with the experience and development speed of Beidou City, as well as the development experience of hundreds of new cities in the Shang Kingdom, everyone firmly believes in this data.
It's just that the city's prospects are good, but what is the regulation during the construction process? Who is responsible? Who supervises? Who will manage it in the future? What are the laws in the city? How are taxes formulated? Is there a communication platform for collective shareholders?
As the new urban planning falls, countless problems roll over.
