274: The victims are shocked!
The White Immortal stood atop a tall building.
He gazed at the entrance of what the Immortal Venerable called a “utopia.”
He saw people arriving in droves, surrounding the entrance of the “university.”
He knew that if managed properly, these people would all become their loyal followers, and the future Incense Dao revenue generated would be far more substantial and stable than the crude methods of those Incense Dao Cultivators.
“This is talent!”
The White Immortal recalled Jiang Ning’s gentle face.
This person had never been exposed to the Incense Dao before, but simply by wanting to do it, he had created the prototype of such a hierarchical structure.
If it weren't for the “great mountain” of the Prefect of Yunhai blocking the way, he believed that such a model, in the end, would even make the Great Qian Immortal Dynasty fear it.
This was truly a force capable of overthrowing a dynasty, provided it was allowed to grow unchecked.
“What a pity.”
There is no smooth sailing in this world, no ‘if only’.
In front of the Student Union stood the great mountain of Zuo Mingyu, the Prefect of Yunhai; beyond Zuo Mingyu, there was the Great Qian Dynasty.
None of them would allow such a force to grow unrestrained.
The White Immortal lowered his gaze.
It had been many days, and he was truly starting to adapt to the role of Student Union President; he had almost become fully immersed, wanting to make the Student Union bigger and stronger.
But he was just an obscure, nameless Cultivator.
He had neither an illustrious family background nor Heaven-Defying Luck.
Hit and run.
Make a little profit and retreat.
Seeking stability in all things was his pursuit.
The White Immortal looked at the moon in the sky; tonight’s sky was exceptionally bright, with a crescent moon hanging in the sky, and surrounding stars dotting the night, preventing the darkness from becoming so monotonous.
He clasped his hands, closed his eyes, and murmured to himself for a while.
He opened his eyes.
“Praying that the Student Union can avoid destruction for a little longer is the best wish I can make.”
With that, the White Immortal turned and walked to the second floor.
Here were the cadres of the Student Union’s Disciplinary Department, selected by the Student Union and reporting to him.
Upon seeing the White Immortal,
admiration appeared in the eyes of the three cadres.
“President!”
“Mm.”
The White Immortal nodded, “Go and implement the Guiding Teacher’s plan. You must ensure fairness and impartiality, and you must not oppress the common people or fellow students due to the authority of the Disciplinary Department.”
The three nodded, saying “Yes.”
At the main entrance.
Zheng Jishi and the gate-keeping cadres here made their handover, then led these people to wait at the entrance.
Before long, they saw the three cadres of the Disciplinary Department approaching.
Zheng Jishi said to the somewhat restless Disaster victims: “The students here will make the arrangements. Do not make any more noise. Listen carefully to the arrangements, which include your accommodation, food, and work-relief related matters.”
Upon hearing Zheng Jishi’s words, the Disaster victims immediately quieted down.
The three cadres from the Disciplinary Department smiled at everyone.
Most who reached this point would become their fellow students in the future; essentially, they were their partners.
One of the cadres pulled out a piece of paper.
He said loudly: “Everyone, please quiet down. Now, I will ask, and you will follow. If you are a married couple, stand on my left. If you are alone, stand on my right. We are allocating dormitories. Married couples will be assigned to the same room, while others will be mixed. Remember not to lie. Adjusting dormitories later is a very troublesome matter.”
After he finished speaking, only one couple emerged from the Disaster victims, bringing with them a five-year-old girl.
The cadre from the Disciplinary Department nodded.
“Are there any more? If not, I will begin assigning dormitories.”
Assigning dormitories was very simple.
There was a dormitory area on the outskirts of the university, with three-person and four-person rooms... The family of three was assigned together, and for the rest, after distinguishing between male and female, they were simply asked to queue up and be assigned.
Two quarters of an hour later.
The cadre from the Disciplinary Department continued: “Now that dormitories are assigned, next is the work-relief matter. We will assign appropriate tasks based on everyone’s age, gender, and ability.
Once the tasks are completed, the Disciplinary Department, which is us, will distribute meal tickets. You can take these meal tickets to the cafeteria to eat.
Additionally, the outer living area also has gardens, Cuju fields, and other venues for your entertainment.
Furthermore, those who perform well and are selected as students for our Student Union will also be able to attend free literacy classes and some life skills classes.
These are all for later.
In a moment, we will take everyone to see the outer living area. Everyone must follow in an orderly manner. Do not violate discipline during this time, or you will be punished!”
The last sentence, the cadre said with a bit more emphasis.
The Disaster victims, having arrived in a new, unfamiliar environment, even those who might have been disobedient, were now well-behaved.
Coupled with the previous groundwork, management proceeded very smoothly.
The cadre first led them to the public restrooms.
He smiled and said: “When you go to a new place, you first need to know where to relieve yourselves. This is our public restroom. From now on, everyone will use the toilet here.
This is the men’s restroom, women should not enter, okay?”
He led them to look around.
The Disaster victims were shocked.
“This latrine is built so well?”
“My heavens, it’s cleaner than my kitchen!”
“There are even small rooms, enough for people to live in!”
The cadres of the Student Union chuckled.
A sense of superiority naturally arose in their hearts.
See? This was the world they were building. Even a new-style latrine astonished ordinary people.
After knowing where to relieve themselves, the next stop was to know where to eat.
The spacious cafeteria, with its wooden tables and chairs, and numerous service windows, equally astonished these Disaster victims.
Especially since these windows displayed porridge and dry rations!
“Oh, heavens, just let me stay here and not leave. This place is the Celestial Palace!”
“This porridge smells so good!”
“Cornmeal steamed buns, I see cornmeal steamed buns!”
The cadre from the Disciplinary Department leading the Disaster victims said: “Everyone, please don’t be so excited yet. Let’s talk about eating after the accommodation is arranged.
Also, the food in the cafeteria will change.
In the morning and evening, it will be simple dry rations and porridge.
During the day, there will be noodles and rice.”
Disaster victims: ???
“Noodles and rice?”
“Are we allowed to eat these?”
“Are you sure we can eat these for work? Don’t lie to us!”
The cadre from the Disciplinary Department said: “We will not lie about this. Furthermore, this is only during the famine year. When conditions improve in the future, we might even serve some meat dishes and such.”
Next.
The cadre from the Disciplinary Department led the Disaster victims, making a difficult exit from the cafeteria.
After seeing the public showers.
The Disaster victims felt that this place was simply a paradise. Outside, there was a severe drought and no water, but here, water seemed to be free.
And taking showers, how wasteful!
Fortunately, this group of people didn't know that Jiang Ning also used water to flush toilets, otherwise they would have been even more shocked.
However, all this water was converted by Jiang Ning using Spiritual Qi; otherwise, relying solely on a few wells would not be enough to support so many people.
Especially since the number of people would only increase later.
