Chapter 2572

Yan Aohan nodded slightly. Besides King Qin Guang’s report, the other nine Kings of the Ten Courts had briefly introduced the status of their respective regions.

After listening, Yan Aohan turned to Zhan Guoqing. "Economic Commissioner Zhan, how is the establishment of the Underworld Bank progressing?"

"The main branch of the Underworld Bank is located in our sector. Each of the ten Kings’ regions has a branch practice chamber. Additionally, we have set up fifty currency deposit and withdrawal points in each area. However…"

Zhan Guoqing looked at Yan Aohan. "Recently, Ksitigarbha arrived. He wants to exchange Buddhist beads for our Underworld Soul Jade to facilitate his currency usage. How should we control this exchange rate?"

Yan Aohan thought for a moment. "Let’s set the rate at ten Buddhist beads for one Soul Jade. Furthermore, we need to establish a dedicated window for currency exchange. Besides converting Buddhist beads to Soul Jade, we must prepare for other currencies. Buddhist beads are the currency of the Buddhist Realm. There are others, such as Immortal Crystals from the Immortal Realm, human currency, and Demon Crystals from the Demon Realm. We need to determine exchange rates for all of these.

In addition, we must account for Spirit Stones from the Cultivation Realm and currencies from other planes. You need to compile a list and create a proposal. Once I review and approve it, we will implement it."

"Understood." Zhan Guoqing nodded seriously.

Zhu Yanyi spoke from the side. "Once the Underworld opens up currency circulation among all realms, cultivators with special abilities from the Immortal, Cultivation, Demon, and Buddhist realms will likely want to come here for training. How should we handle this?"

Yan Aohan smiled coldly. "The Underworld is not a scenic park. People cannot come and go as they please. Aside from Ksitigarbha from the Buddhist Realm, we can allocate one quota for each other realm. The Immortal Realm can have one Asura position, the Demon Realm one Rakshasa position, and the Devil Realm one Satan position. The Cultivation Realm does not need one.

We set these positions for the Buddhist, Immortal, Devil, and Demon realms to balance their interests. These positions are not permanent; they rotate. When Ksitigarbha is present, the Asura, Rakshasa, and Satan positions remain empty. When an Asura is present, the other three are empty. It rotates among them. When it is one realm’s turn, the others are not allowed to send anyone."

Yan Aohan’s eyes were deep. "This Emperor does not want the Underworld, which we have worked hard to establish, to become someone else’s territory. Moreover, we do not send Yin Spirits to their territories casually. Allowing them one position for training is already generous."

As long as only one person comes, it is easy to monitor. "Regardless of who occupies these four positions, Di Ting, the task of supervision falls to you."

Zhan Diting nodded. "No problem. I have been handling this matter all along, so I am confident I can do it well."

Yan Aohan nodded slightly, then turned to Old Black and Old White. "Black and White Impermanence, your work should be busier recently. In other planes, before the Underworld existed, some Yin Souls did not return to their proper places. From what I understand, this was because there was a 'three-no-man’s-land' between the human world and the Underworld. You two investigate this. I do not want anything suspicious emerging there."

Zhu Yanyi said, "If you hadn’t mentioned it, I would have forgotten. I remember that such no-man’s-lands are the most prone to incidents."

Old Black and Old White said, "Emperor Yan and Empress Yan, rest assured. We brothers will personally investigate."

"Old Pan, assist them. I have a feeling there is something in that no-man’s-land." Old Pan nodded. "Alright, I will help."

Yan Aohan continued, "These are daily tasks. There is one more matter to address."

She continued, "A few days ago, Empress Yan and I visited the Yue family. Yue’s mother mentioned education. This Emperor realized that we seem to lack schools in the Underworld. Although the Underworld was established recently, we must prioritize education. I do not want anyone establishing sects here, causing chaos."

Yan Aohan said calmly, "Most Yin Souls in the Underworld come from the mortal world. In ancient times, mortals had academies and schools. With modern civilization, education is divided into primary, middle, high school, and university. Since the Underworld now exists, we cannot lack this. Therefore, education must be prioritized."

King Pin She said, "Your Majesty, we are not familiar with education. Do we need to invite specialists?"

Yan Aohan pondered for a moment. "I think so too. Education is unquestionable. Currently, most Underworld residents are adults. However, as the population grows and soul energy increases, families will naturally produce new Yin Souls, becoming native residents.

Although no one has noticed this yet, the balance of Yin and Yang works this way. In the future, young residents will appear. While it is still early, we must establish educational institutions."

Yan Aohan continued, "We can learn from the mortal world’s primary, middle, and university systems. We will establish the Underworld Primary School, Underworld Middle School, and Underworld University. Our educational institutions will not only teach cultural knowledge but also soul power cultivation. We will discover their strengths and find suitable positions for them."

Yan Aohan said, "Underworld residents have long lifespans, so the duration of study should be longer. The focus here is cultivation. Besides students, the most important factor is faculty. Teachers in our educational institutions must have sufficient cultivation and good moral character. This Emperor hopes that every resident graduating from our institutions will be an outstanding Yin Talent."

"Your Majesty is correct." King Di Jiang agreed. "Previously, we were just the Underworld, with only Yin Souls and Yin Messengers. But now, it is the Underworld Realm. Our horizons must also expand."

Yan Aohan nodded. "Exactly. So, after you ten Kings return, think about this and provide me with a proposal. I will review it. While the Empress and I are here, we will make decisions on what can be done now."

"Yes." The Ten Kings agreed without hesitation.

Watching the Ten Kings leave eagerly, Zhan Diting sighed, "Establishing the Underworld Realm is truly not a simple task."

Zhu Yanyi smiled. "It is not simple. That is precisely why we must build it."
