Chapter 76 Immortal City Planning
"The Immortal Dynasty ten thousand years ago was named Wuji. I want to rebuild the Immortal Dynasty, but ten thousand years have passed. There is no need to continue the name of the previous dynasty. Regarding the name, do you two have any suggestions?"
After finalizing the Moon Goddess Chamber of Commerce as an external organization, Fang Chen asked the two for their suggestions on the name of the Immortal Dynasty.
"What the Lord said is correct. We don't need to inherit the title from ten thousand years ago."
Lin Qingshan first agreed with this decision. He and Fang Chen both understood that the Wuji Immortal Dynasty had nothing to do with them, and continuing its name was pure idleness.
Then he continued: "But my opinion is not to try to do everything at once. I don't agree with rebuilding the Immortal Dynasty now."
"Oh? Tell me what you think."
Fang Chen also attaches great importance to Lin Qingshan's opinion, even though Xu Qiyun is older than both of them and has more experience.
But Lin Qingshan has been practicing for a longer time and is more familiar with the various aspects of the cultivation world.
"Rebuilding the Immortal Dynasty is of course no problem, but we don't need to call ourselves the Immortal Dynasty from the beginning. As the Lord said, it would be ridiculous to establish an Immortal Dynasty with only a thousand cultivators."
Although Lin Qingshan was a casual cultivator, he was familiar with those famous sects. Each of them had tens of thousands of Qi-refining disciples. It was really arrogant for them to call themselves the Immortal Dynasty with only a thousand Qi-refining cultivators.
Not only that, he added: "And it's not just external evaluation. Maybe, as Deacon Lin said, we can keep the outside world from knowing that we have rebuilt the Immortal Dynasty, but other descendants of the Immortal Dynasty will also think that if more than a thousand Qi training cultivators can be called an Immortal Dynasty, then this Immortal Dynasty is nothing more than that."
Lin Qingshan's analysis was insightful. In fact, the people who would be most affected by the reconstruction of the Immortal Dynasty were within their own ranks.
Although the organizational structure seems to be much clearer, it actually gives people the feeling that it is a makeshift team.
The small countries where these people lived before becoming refugees did not have more than a thousand people to form a country, let alone the Immortal Dynasty.
If the descendants of the Immortal Dynasty had the idea that "this is what the Immortal Dynasty is all about", it would be difficult to correct it later.
"I see. Deacon Lin's understanding is indeed more profound than mine. I was too impatient."
After listening, Xu Qiyun also agreed with Lin Qingshan's point of view and said that his ideas were not as good as his.
"Deacon Xu, you don't have to be so modest. I never thought of your proposal to establish a chamber of commerce to interact with the outside world. It is indeed a stroke of genius."
Lin Qingshan also praised Xu Qiyun.
"Since we are not directly rebuilding the Immortal Dynasty, then what identity do we take?"
Fang Chen interrupted their mutual flattery and asked Lin Qingshan what he thought about the next step.
"Lord, when we rebuild the Immortal Dynasty, it doesn't mean we will establish a new one all at once. The concept of an Immortal Dynasty is very broad. We can start from a village or a city."
Having said this, Lin Qingshan stopped. He knew that with Fang Chen's ability to understand, he must have understood what he meant.
"Wonderful!"
Fang Chen really understood it immediately. He instantly figured out the part that Lin Qingshan didn't say explicitly, and slapped his thigh excitedly.
The Immortal Dynasty ten thousand years ago was vast and boundless, so it was naturally impossible for it to have only a top-level organizational structure. It was also divided into several regions, and each region was governed by the central immortal city.
There are countless towns and villages under the jurisdiction of Xiancheng.
Each level has a complete organizational structure, which is sufficient to meet Fang Chen's needs to improve the efficiency of territory management.
So he adjusted his mood, restored his calm demeanor, and said, "I want to build the first immortal city of the Immortal Dynasty - Yuehua Immortal City. What do you think?"
"That's how it should be."
Lin Qingshan and Xu Qiyun looked at each other and responded in unison.
"Then we will assign responsibilities. After the Immortal City is established, both of you will be deputy city lords."
There is no doubt about this. The qualifications and abilities of both of them are sufficient to take on this responsibility. Anyway, they are currently in the Absolute Spirit Swamp and have no external combat missions, so it doesn't matter if their cultivation is low. The first batch of spiritual plants has also been harvested. Once the Qi Gathering Powder is refined, the cultivation of the two will advance by leaps and bounds in the next period of time.
"Yes."
The two of them accepted the appointment in a calm tone, which was all expected.
"Deputy City Lord Lin, you will be responsible for everything related to formations, prohibitions, and runes, including the production of the mother-child message jade slips that I asked you to make. Oh, and don't forget the ordinary message jade slips. This is the first transaction between the Moon Goddess Chamber of Commerce and the Wang family."
"clear."
Lin Qingshan has an extraordinary talent for formations, so just let him do that, there is no need to worry too much.
"Deputy City Lord Xu, you have a heavy burden on your shoulders. The daily management of the Immortal City will be handed over to you, including night classes, sowing and harvesting of spiritual fields, breeding of spiritual silkworms and weaving of spiritual silkworms, etc."
"Thank you for your trust, City Lord."
Xu Qiyun also knew that this was not an easy task, but he didn't say much and agreed.
"There are so many things to do, you may not be able to handle it all by yourself. You can find a few helpers. For example, for night classes, the teaching assistants are fully capable of daily teaching. There is no need for you to lead the class yourself."
Xu Qiyun had so many things to be responsible for, and Fang Chen didn't intend to let him do it all by himself.
The descendants of the Immortal Dynasty, now known as the residents of Yuehua Immortal City, have received the most basic education, and some basic management work can be handed over to some of the more clever ones.
Then he turned to look at Lin Qingshan and said, "It's the same with you. You can pick a few talented people to teach them some basic knowledge of formations, prohibitions and runes, and help you with some chores."
"Ah."
Lin Qingshan nodded. Doing so could indeed help him share a lot of work, but the initial investment would be a little higher.
"By the way, City Lord, taking advantage of the opportunity of the establishment of the Immortal City, it would be best to slightly modify the previous contribution system and the distribution of spiritual field harvests so that they can operate better."
Speaking of which, Xu Qiyun is definitely the biggest victim of this contribution system.
This matter itself was decided by Fang Chen and Lin Qingshan on a whim, but he was always responsible for the final contribution statistics.
As for Fang Chen's original idea of using the mother-and-child jade slips for information registration, he has only completed the design improvements of the mother-and-child jade slips and has not yet started mass production.
This wasn't a big deal, it was a bit troublesome but he could still handle it.
The key point is that Fang Chen proposed that the harvest from the spiritual field should be divided equally, which also caused a bad influence.
Although he had long planned to use contributions to offset the so-called 50-50 split, it also resulted in the people who took care of the spiritual field actually receiving two contributions.
For the first batch of spiritual fields, everyone took turns to take care of them, so no one took it seriously.
But with the establishment of the fairy city, there will inevitably be different divisions of labor among everyone. Those who take care of the spiritual fields will receive a contribution, and those who do other jobs will inevitably be dissatisfied.
"So my impulsiveness has caused you so much trouble. Then you should first draft a new contribution system and distribution rules. Once the three of us are satisfied, we will implement it according to your method."
Xu Qiyun's words were well-reasoned, so Fang Chen naturally wouldn't refuse.
"In fact, I already had a general idea, and I can tell it to the city lord and Deputy City Lord Lin now."
After getting Fang Chen's promise, Xu Qiyun no longer concealed his thoughts. Combining his more than two months of management experience, he began to talk incessantly.
Today is the second update. I originally planned to write a 4,000-word chapter, but my boss came to inspect in the afternoon, so I didn’t have time. I also went to socialize with them in the evening, and I just came back to write one chapter.
