Under One Person: I Opened the Age of Mythology

Chapter 410 Prosperity
After that, Sun Wukong returned to the imperial study, opened the door, and was greeted by a faint scent of ink.

He walked straight to the desk, which was piled with scrolls and documents collected from various circles.

He picked up a scroll at random, glanced at it quickly, frowned slightly, and then unfolded it again, as if thinking about something.

These scrolls recorded complex information such as trade demands, price levels, transportation problems, etc. from all walks of life, and each one required him to consider carefully.

He sat down, spread out a blank scroll, picked up the jade pen, and began to draft more detailed supplementary clauses one by one.

The tip of the pen moved quickly on the paper, and before the ink had dried, he had already turned to the next page.

Occasionally he would stop writing, look up to the window, his eyes deep, as if he could see every corner of the three realms through the layers of clouds.

“The regulations for cross-border transport need to be refined, especially for live animals and perishable goods.”

Sun Wukong muttered to himself, then wrote a few lines on the scroll.

He remembered the questions raised by the dragon representatives at the conference and decided to add detailed provisions for the transportation of aquatic goods to the terms to ensure that every batch of goods could arrive safely at its destination.

At the same time, Yang Jian was busy in his own mansion.

The table in front of him was filled with various legal books and questions raised by representatives from all walks of life at the conference.

He looked focused, and the jade pen in his hand moved slowly across the scroll. Occasionally he would stop, frown and think for a moment, then continue writing.

With every revised rule, he strives to be fair and just and to take into account the interests of all parties.

"Tax adjustments need to be refined based on the price levels in different regions, and cannot be a one-size-fits-all approach."

Yang Jian said softly, and then made a mark on the scroll.

He remembered that the mortal merchants had mentioned the problem of soaring prices, and decided to add protection measures for small vendors in the rules to prevent them from getting into trouble due to excessive taxes.

On the other side, Nezha was commanding a group of heavenly soldiers and generals in the square of the Heavenly Palace. He waved a newly revised volume of trade rules in his hand and said in a loud voice:

"Listen carefully! These rules have been discussed and revised many times, and not a single word can be wrong! They must be printed as soon as possible and distributed to all parts of the Three Realms!"

The heavenly soldiers and generals responded in unison and took quick action.

Nezha looked at their busy figures, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, but soon he frowned again.

He remembered that some little demons had raised the issue of information isolation in remote areas at the conference, and decided to send out a patrol team to ensure that the new rules could be smoothly communicated to every corner.

"Xiao Zhang!"

Nezha shouted to the heavenly soldiers beside him.

"Take a few people to Xiniu Hezhou and see if the monsters there have received the new rules. If there are any parts they don't understand, you will be responsible for explaining them!"

The heavenly soldiers took the order and left, and Nezha finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He turned and walked towards the Qitian Hall, intending to report the arrangements of the patrol team to Sun Wukong.

At this time, Sun Wukong had completed the drafting of the supplementary clauses.

He rolled up the scroll, stood up, and a hint of satisfaction flashed in his eyes.

He decided to set up a special arbitration institution to deal with disputes that might arise in cross-border trade.

"Yang Jian."

When Sun Wukong walked out of the imperial study, he saw Yang Jian walking towards him from a distance.

"I have decided that you will be the head of the arbitration body. What do you think?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Jian looked solemn and clasped his fists in response:

"The Great Sage has placed his trust in me, and Yang Jian will certainly live up to his trust."

Sun Wukong nodded and patted Yang Jian on the shoulder:

"Okay, then you should start to form a team as soon as possible and develop a complete arbitration process."

Yang Jian didn't say much, turned around and made arrangements.

He summoned several immortal officials who were well versed in the law and began to discuss the details of the arbitration body.

A few days later, Nezha returned to Heaven with news from the patrol team.

He walked into the imperial study and saw Sun Wukong bending over his desk reviewing a scroll, so he said softly:

"Monkey, I have sent out a patrol team, and it is expected to cover all remote areas within three days."

Sun Wukong raised his head, with a look of approval in his eyes:

"Well done. However, I'm planning to hold a trade show in the Heavenly Palace. What do you think?"

Nezha's eyes lit up, and he came forward with great interest:

"Trade fair? That's a great idea! It allows businesses from all walks of life to showcase their unique products, and it can also promote communication!"

Sun Wukong smiled slightly:
"That's what I thought. However, the preparations for the exhibition are now in your hands. Make sure it's grand and orderly."

Nezha patted his chest and assured:

"Don't worry, wrap it on me!"

After saying this, he turned and walked out of the imperial study and began to arrange the preparations for the exhibition.

He summoned several immortal officials who were good at arranging venues to discuss the specific procedures and layout plan of the exhibition.

“The exhibition should be lively, but not chaotic.”

Nezha said to the immortal officials.

“Each booth must be well planned to ensure that merchants from all walks of life have enough space to display their products.”

The immortal officials nodded and began to make preparations.

Nezha personally visited various circles and invited businesses to participate in the exhibition.

He first came to the Dragon Palace in the East China Sea. When the Dragon King saw Nezha coming, he smiled and came forward to greet him:
"Master Nezha, what brings you here?"

Nezha grinned:
"Dragon King, I'm here with good news! The Heavenly Palace is going to hold a trade fair and invite merchants from all walks of life to showcase their special products. I wonder if you are interested in participating?"

A hint of surprise flashed in the Dragon King's eyes, and he said quickly:

"Of course I'm interested! This is a great opportunity to promote our East China Sea corals!"

Nezha nodded with satisfaction:
"Then it's settled! I will make special arrangements for your booth and make sure everyone can see the treasures of the East China Sea!"

Afterwards, Nezha went to the prosperous towns in the mortal world and visited several well-known businessmen.

After hearing about the exhibition, they all expressed their willingness to participate, and some businessmen even offered to donate some exhibits.

During the busy preparation process, Yang Jian's arbitration team gradually took shape.

He developed a complete arbitration process to ensure that every dispute is handled fairly and impartially.

Everything was going on in an orderly manner. Sun Wukong stood on the high platform of the imperial study, overlooking every corner of the three realms.

The corners of his mouth rose slightly, and the vague worry in his heart seemed to be alleviated a little.

"Next, it depends on the effect of this exhibition."

Sun Wukong whispered to himself, with a hint of anticipation in his eyes.

The day before the exhibition, the square of the Heavenly Palace had been arranged in an orderly manner.

Nezha stood on the high platform, looked at the busy crowd below, and nodded with satisfaction.

Sun Wukong stood in front of the Qitian Hall, his eyes sharp as torches, and carefully inspected the venue.

He walked steadily, as if every step he took carried the responsibility for the peace of the three realms.

The booths were arranged in an orderly manner, all kinds of goods were neatly displayed, the logos of merchants from all walks of life were clearly visible, and every detail revealed careful arrangements.

Sun Wukong's brows relaxed slightly, but his eyes were still sharp, as if he wanted to see through these arrangements and see the prosperous scene of trade in the three realms after the exhibition. At this moment, Yang Jian came from the other side, holding a scroll in his hand, with a solemn expression: "Great Sage, the final plan of the arbitration agency has been drawn up, take a look."

Sun Wukong took the scroll and read it carefully.

The text on the scroll is neat and clear, and the arbitration process, the responsibilities of the arbitrators, and the detailed steps for dispute resolution are all listed one by one, and each detail has been carefully considered.

His eyes lingered on the scroll for a moment, then he looked up at Yang Jian, with a hint of satisfaction in his tone:

"Yes, the plan is perfect and can indeed ensure the fairness and impartiality of the arbitration."

Yang Jian nodded slightly, his eyes firm:
"Don't worry, Great Sage. The arbitration agency will strictly follow the rules and will never favor any party."

Sun Wukong nodded, turned his gaze towards the meeting place, and said in a steady tone:
"In this case, the arbitration details should be made public so that all parties can understand them in advance and avoid unnecessary misunderstandings."

Yang Jian responded:

"I'll do it right away."

After he finished speaking, he turned around and walked quickly to the bulletin board to post the arbitration rules in a conspicuous place.

Below the stage, many merchants and representatives had gathered, reading the details carefully and discussing in low voices.

"The rules of the Heavenly Court are transparent this time. It seems we can rest assured."

A mortal merchant whispered to his companion.

"Yes, the arbitration agency also has representatives from us monsters, so we don't have to worry about being bullied anymore."

A demon representative nodded in agreement, a gratified smile on his face.

Sun Wukong stood on the high platform, glanced at everyone, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

He turned and walked to the center of the booth, raised his hand and signaled everyone to be quiet.

The audience gradually quieted down and everyone's eyes were focused on him.

"Everyone, the Three Realms Trade Fair officially opens today!"

Sun Wukong's voice was loud and powerful, echoing throughout the venue.

He looked around, and his tone was a bit majestic:

"This exhibition aims to promote the prosperity of trade among the three worlds, so that merchants from all walks of life can participate fairly and achieve mutual benefit and win-win results. I hope everyone can take this opportunity to communicate with each other and develop together!"

There was an immediate applause from the audience, and expectant looks appeared on the faces of merchants from all walks of life.

After Sun Wukong finished speaking, he waved his hand and announced the official start of the exhibition.

The venue suddenly became lively, with merchants displaying their products one after another, attracting buyers from other fields to stop and watch.

Corals from the East China Sea, silk from the mortal world, magical fruits from the fairyland, all kinds of goods were on display, and the entire venue seemed like a bustling market.

A dragon merchant is introducing his coral to a mortal merchant:

"This is red coral that is unique to the East China Sea. It has a bright color and is of high quality. Look at the pattern. How delicate it is!"

The mortal merchant looked at the coral carefully, his eyes full of admiration:
"That's great! But there won't be any problems with cross-border transportation, right?"

The Dragon Clan merchant laughed:

"Don't worry, there are special transportation guarantees in the new rules to ensure the safe delivery of goods!"

The mortal merchant nodded with a satisfied smile on his face:

"Well, I want all this stuff!"

On the other side, a fairy merchant was negotiating the sale of spiritual fruits with a demon merchant:

"This time, the spiritual fruit has been inspected by the Heavenly Court. You can rest assured!"

The demon merchant picked up a spiritual fruit, smelled it carefully, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes:
"It's really a good product! But can the price be lower?"

The Immortal Clan merchant smiled:
"You know the rules. The prices are transparent and we never charge you randomly. However, if you buy in large quantities, I can give you a discount."

The demon merchant nodded:

"Then it's settled!"

Inside the venue, the trading atmosphere was lively, merchants from all sides were actively negotiating, and the whole scene was extremely lively.

Sun Wukong stood on the high platform, overlooking everything in the venue, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

He turned to Yang Jian and Nezha beside him and said:

“It seems that this exhibition has a good effect.”

Yang Jian nodded in agreement:

"The Great Sage is wise. The new rules have indeed made everyone feel fair and convenient."

Nezha said with a smile:
"Great Sage, my preparations were not in vain, right?"

Sun Wukong smiled and patted Nezha on the shoulder:

"Well done."

After he finished speaking, he looked back at the venue, a trace of relief flashing in his eyes:
"However, this is just the beginning. The prosperity of the three realms still requires our joint efforts."

He turned and walked down the stage, entered the venue, had cordial conversations with merchants from all walks of life, and listened to their suggestions and feedback.

Yang Jian and Nezha followed behind him, recording the merchants' opinions at any time.

The entire exhibition was held in an atmosphere of harmony and prosperity, and the trade between the three realms officially entered a new chapter.

As time goes by, the successful holding of the Three Realms Trade Fair marks a new starting point for the prosperity of the Three Realms.

Merchants from all parties reached a large number of trade agreements at the exhibition, the flow of materials among the three realms became smoother, and economic vitality was significantly enhanced.

Sun Wukong, Yang Jian, Nezha and others did not relax because of this, but instead focused more on the implementation and improvement of the new rules.

Every day, Sun Wukong would review the scrolls of feedback from all parties in the imperial study, and occasionally he would go to the mortal world in person to understand the actual situation among the people.

He stood in a busy market, watching the vendors and people coming and going, with a thoughtful look on his face.

When the people nearby saw him stop, they all stopped to salute him and respectfully called him "Great Sage".

Sun Wukong smiled and nodded in response, then walked towards a stall selling spiritual fruits.

The stall owner was an elderly man. When he saw Sun Wukong, he immediately put down his work and said respectfully:

"Great Sage, why did you come here in person?"

Sun Wukong picked up a spiritual fruit, looked at it carefully, and asked casually:

"Old man, how is business lately? Are the new rules helpful to you?"

The old man showed a grateful smile on his face and said repeatedly:

"Very good! Life is much better than before!"

Sun Wukong nodded slightly, glanced at the other goods on the stall, and continued to ask:
"Did any problems occur during the transportation? Did the heavenly soldiers and generals give you any more trouble?"

The old man waved his hands quickly:

"No! No! The heavenly soldiers and generals are all following the rules, so we small vendors can do business with peace of mind."

After hearing this, Sun Wukong's expression eased a little and he patted the old man on the shoulder:

"That's good. If you have any questions, feel free to come to me in Heaven."

The old man nodded repeatedly and watched Sun Wukong leave, his face full of admiration.
