In the following days, many people were arrested in the territory. In addition to robbers and thieves like Peng Yan, there were also those who attempted to open casinos and loan sharks. Ye Miao looked at the case files and exclaimed that it was outrageous.
After about seven or eight days, peace had largely returned to the territory, and the bridge and road construction was almost complete. Ye Miao breathed a sigh of relief and turned her focus to building the school. However, before that, she went to see Chu Cheng to relieve her stress.
Now she had a ready-made reason to go find Chu Cheng - the Pixiu and the others were still in Chu Cheng's care, so of course she had to visit them often.
It was past three in the afternoon when she knocked on the door. Chu Cheng was idly playing with a Pixiu in the yard with a gold coin. Seeing Ye Miao approach, he followed her into the living room and offered her the territory's hottest new drink. Ye Miao took a sip of the bubbly black liquid without a second thought. The next moment, her pupils trembled. "There's Coke in the territory?!"
"Yeah." Chu Cheng smiled, "It seems that Lao Shuai made this card using elements, and He Kailai bought it."
Ye Miao's inner thoughts: So cool...
Since the system no longer issues card packs, she would occasionally take out some cards looted from previous territory wars from the warehouse to sell. At the same time, Lao Shuai was still refining cards with elements, and all the refined cards were directly sold in the grocery store.
However, she didn't expect that Kari could actually make Coke. If she had known that such a thing existed, she would have asked the boss to save one for her.
Who doesn’t like fat house happy water?
Chu Cheng looked at her and asked, "Is there something wrong?"
"It's okay." Ye Miao shrugged and lifted the Pixiu that was rubbing against her ankle onto her lap. "I missed Pixiu, so I came to see it."
Chu Cheng said "Oh" and didn't say much.
In fact, ever since the pets were placed with him, Ye Miao would come over every now and then. Raising pets together was a very helpful way to build closer relationships. He felt that during this period, they had become more familiar with each other than ever before.
However, after careful consideration, he decided to continue the boiling frog situation. This was mainly because Ye Miao had the words "I'm not in love" written all over her face. The territory was currently undergoing a transition, and with the sudden increase in population, there were countless things she needed to worry about. If he came along and caused trouble at this time, he had no doubt that their relationship would plummet to freezing point in an instant.
The next day, Ye Miao went to discuss with Principal Liu of the City Center Primary School and decided to build two more primary schools first, and then two junior high schools. In this way, there will be three primary schools and two junior high schools in the territory, which can basically restore the previous compulsory education. As for high school, they can talk about it later.
After the decision to build a school was made, Ye Miao quickly selected a location and built the house, followed by the teacher staffing assessment.
Since the previous police assessment focused on combat skills, and the teacher examination required the ability to teach children, Ye Miao thought that the number of applicants this time would not be so large. Unexpectedly, the actual situation was completely opposite to what she expected - she only wanted to recruit 50 people, but more than 1,500 people applied.
"Isn't this too much?!" Ye Miao was shocked. "How come so many people know this? Aren't many of them just trying their luck?"
"There are definitely some who try their luck," Principal Liu said, remaining calm in the face of this situation. "But most people should have actually learned something. Because the apocalypse happened a long time ago, most of those who survived are young people, and it used to be really popular among young people to take the teaching qualification exam."
“…” Ye Miao suddenly realized.
Although she had traveled through time, the worldviews of the two worlds were very similar. Principal Liu's words reminded her of when graduation was approaching, some people were doing internships, some were preparing for postgraduate studies, and some, feeling lost about graduation, would first take the teaching qualification exam.
Some even say that taking the teacher qualification exam is something all confused college students will do.
If you think about it from this perspective, the overwhelming number of people is understandable. Ye Miao handed the matter over to Principal Liu with peace of mind, and only prepared to take on the last hurdle.
Meanwhile, the lords' group chat was abuzz with activity. All territories had recently completed their transition, and the chaos caused by the massive influx of new members had gradually subsided. The lords were eager to accelerate the development of the "Great City Alliance."
Ye Miao had received the most votes in the previous vote, and now, unless she said she didn't want to be Secretary-General, she was the only one who would be elected. So, when everyone decided to meet and discuss some matters in person, it was only natural that she should choose the location. Ye Miao looked at her deposits and the large open space in her territory and said generously, "Come directly to my place. I'll choose a beautiful building for the alliance's offices. We can use it for future meetings, and there's also space for permanent office staff."
"The Secretary-General is so generous!"
"Alliance leader YYDS!"
“Miaomiao is the best!!!”
There was a cheer in the group.
The meeting was scheduled for 10 days later, which was the 25th day of spring.
Ye Miao disliked formalism, but for such a major event, the proper sense of ceremony was still necessary. So, she put a lot of thought into the arrangements, preparing everything from the menu to the reception staff. She also notified the heads of various departments within her territory to attend the meeting, especially the public security, procuratorate, and courts. In the apocalypse, their presence was a local specialty of Get Rich Overnight City.
On the 18th day of spring, lords gradually began to leave messages in the lord group, announcing their departure. However, these lords were far away, and there was no direct river between them and Overnight Rich City, so they had to take many detours to get there, forcing them to set off a few days earlier.
The 21st was the day when most of the lords set out. This way, they could arrive at Overnight Rich City during the day on the 24th, rest well, and hold a meeting the next day.
On the 23rd day, Ye Miao made a final cleanup of the meeting venue. She had spent 500,000 gold coins to build it, choosing a magnificent castle. The castle had several halls suitable for large conferences, as well as hundreds of ensuite bedrooms.
On the morning of the 24th day, An Ruoying, who was closest to the territory, arrived first. Ye Miao went to the dock to greet her. An Ruoying got off the boat and hugged her. The first thing she saw was the castle. "Holy crap!" An Ruoying was completely shocked. "You actually built this! I've had my eye on it for a long time, but I never had the heart to build it!"
Ye Miao smiled and said, "Didn't we give out mission rewards based on the number of people accepted a while ago?"
"But..." An Ruoying was about to speak when she realized that Ye Miao must have received much more reward than her.
She'd received over eight million, which seemed like a lot at the time, but after a drastic upgrade, her savings were gone. She couldn't bring herself to spend another 500,000 on castle renovations.
But here at Ye Miao's place, just looking at the scale and number of people, you can tell that her reward is probably more than double hers, so the money has to be spent.
"Come on, I've arranged your bedroom next to mine!" Ye Miao pulled her hand and said, "I've also prepared some cake and red wine. We can eat cake and chat in the evening!"
"Okay, okay!" An Ruoying jumped for joy.
The next person to arrive was Ma Ou from Moss City. Due to the long journey, Ma Ou had nothing better to do on the boat, so he grabbed a bag of chips. As soon as he got off the boat, he was attacked by seagulls. Ma Ou was filled with grief and indignation: "We're all from the same generation, why are you so eager to attack me?"
The receptionist Ye Miao arranged apologized with a suppressed smile: "Sorry, these seagulls love to eat French fries. They can't resist seeing them. This way, please. I'll take you to the meeting place."
In this way, the reception lasted for the whole day. By the evening, the castle bedrooms were almost full of the lord and his entourage, and the welcoming banquet was extremely lively.
"Why do you have red wine here?" Guo Li was holding the wine glass, stunned.
Ye Miao truthfully stated, "This card was made by the territory's NPC alchemist. I thought it would be useful for the welcoming banquet, so I kept it."
After three rounds of drinking, many lords began to get drunk, crying and talking about how difficult it had been for them in the past few months.
But fortunately, everyone made it through.
After crying, everyone started drinking again.
Seeing this, Ye Miao did not intend to give any advice. Compared with the regular world, the game mode still has some advantages. For example, no matter how serious the negative state of "drunk" is, it can be completely eliminated after a good night's sleep, and will not affect the next day's work.
She also didn't have to worry about anyone being late because the system automatically woke up between 7 and 7:30. She placed a copy of the meeting agenda on the bedside table in each room so that everyone would know where to go after getting up.
The meeting began as scheduled at nine o'clock the next morning. Although the atmosphere was a little less serious, it was very harmonious.
First, Ye Miao talked about some of his small strategies for managing the territory, such as interest-free loans and low-interest loans.
Other lords said: Lend it to me to copy.
Then they discussed education. Ye Miao asked Principal Liu to speak, and Principal Liu gave a detailed explanation of the teacher staffing assessment that had just been conducted.
Other lords said: Lend it to me to copy.
Then it was the turn of the legal department to speak, and they directly took out the existing laws of the territory for everyone to see.
The lords still said: Lend it to me, lend it to me, copy it.
For the entire morning, it seemed as if the lords were not there to hold a meeting or discussion, but to seek advice unilaterally.
In the afternoon, when everyone started discussing the legal terms of the alliance, the scene really became lively.
Ye Miao had previously listed several key points, such as providing assistance to small territories, prohibiting slavery, and prohibiting territories from bullying their members. Everyone had several serious discussions about how to implement them best.
The meeting lasted until six in the evening, and many issues were not discussed to a conclusion, but it didn't matter, because the meeting lasted for five days and we could continue discussing it after returning, so there was no need to rush.
But at nine o'clock, Ye Miao received countless messages in the group chat. When he clicked on them, he saw that everyone was asking, "Can the meeting be extended for ten or eight days?"
[T City, Overnight Rich City, Lord, Ye Miao] Huh? Why? Are there any new questions?
[J City·Good Morning City·Lord·Guo Li] No, we are just strolling outside together and found that the market in your territory is so lively, so everyone wants to stay for a few more days to eat and drink.
[T City·Overnight Rich City·Lord·Ye Miao]…
[T City, Overnight Rich City, Lord, Ye Miao] We're all lords!!! Can you guys be more serious!!!
[S City·Wuxia City·Lord·Hua Yao] But you even have a scenic spot…it’s a scenic spot!!!
