I Have A Sword

The eyes of the Seventh Main God lit up. He stood up in excitement.

The other gods also had a spark in their eyes, as they instantly understood the key point in Nan Xiao's words.

The Divine Academy was the top institution in the civilization. Countless people dreamed of becoming its students for a chance to change their fates.

If things went as Nan Xiao proposed, the slums, once despised and avoided, would suddenly become the hottest piece of real estate.

Talents would flock there!

The Main Gods all looked at Nan Xiao differently; their gazes were filled with acknowledgement.

Seeing their reaction, Nan Xiao knew he had their support and continued, "The Temple of the Gods can collect taxes from the slums, not from the poor residents, of course, but from those looking to purchase property.

Any person or organization wanting to buy land in the slums would have to pay a property tax fee. This way, we will resolve the issue of resettling the residents of the slums, and we also generate a significant amount of revenue, easing our financial burden."

"Excellent!" the Seventh Main God exclaimed. "Well done, Nan Xiao! I truly underestimated you."

Nan Xiao responded humbly, "You flatter me, Seventh Main God."

"No, truly!" the Seventh Main God laughed. "You're a real talent. I can't believe I didn't think of this plan myself. If this succeeds, you'll have earned major credit."

Nan Xiao bowed in respect. He then added, "Merchants are greedy, and the poor in the slums won't be able to compete with them. To prevent shady business deals and exploitation, we'll need strict laws and an upright overseer. Ideally, everything should be under our direct supervision."
