Fang Yun swept his gaze over the crowd and said, "From today onward, anyone registered as a resident of Ning'an County may be among the first to enter the Bloodmang Realm, become a resident there, and travel freely between the two places. As for the scholars present, regardless of which kingdom you live in or your Literary Rank, once the Bloodmang Realm opens, you may enter and leave freely. Those who once came to aid Ning'an City will also receive residency in the Bloodmang Realm."
Everyone was overjoyed to hear this. Fang Yun might not necessarily be able to protect Ning'an City in the future, but granting its people certain privileges would be no difficult matter.
That was an entirely new realm. The gains of those who entered first and those who came later would surely be as far apart as heaven and the abyss.
"Wonderful!"
"Then we must start preparing now!"
"In the future, even capital residency won't amount to much. Ning'an residency will be worth the most!"
Many scholars felt their spirits soar.
Fang Yun continued, "Within three days, I will draft a preliminary proposal for the Ning'an Chamber of Commerce and establish its framework. Anyone willing to join may register at the county government, providing detailed information on your name, native place, age, experience, strengths, and so forth. Once the Ning'an Chamber of Commerce is formally established, we will select our first group of suitable personnel from among those applicants."
Many scholars immediately began recalling their past experiences and considering their strengths.
Some seasoned veterans of officialdom, however, were secretly stunned. The implications of Fang Yun's words were astonishing.
"Register at the county government" sounded unremarkable, but it concealed an important piece of information: the Ning'an Chamber of Commerce and the Ning'an County Government were one entity.
