Huang Tian smiled and said, "The establishment of an administrative agency is a matter of great importance. We can't just rely on my opinion to decide, lest we arouse the dissatisfaction of the general public and various forces. In my opinion, we should wait until Yanhuang City is officially on the right track, and then we can make a decision together. After all, with such a large territory and population, we in the Yanhuang Palace alone cannot control it all. We should share some power. A dictatorship will be besieged."
Bibi Dong smiled and said, "Well, in my opinion, we should also win over the Spirit Hall, the Clear Sky Sect, and the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Family, and jointly discuss the main areas of responsibility for each faction, such as education, public healthcare, public security, military forces, industry and commerce, agriculture, industry, fisheries, transportation, and other departments. Appointments can all be discussed.
Above the major departments, the highest authority can elect elders who oversee several departments through democratic voting. These elders will oversee these departments and can vote to appoint and remove ministers and deputy ministers. Below the ministers are the next level of government agencies in each administrative region, where people from the second level compete for positions. Grassroots government agencies are staffed by people from the third level. This clear hierarchy and division of labor will allow for better service to the public.
Liu Erlong quickly stopped Bibi Dong and said, "Bibi Dong, if you do this, it will create an even more terrifying monopoly class. It may not be obvious in the next few years, but after we ascend, there will be no one to suppress them. Do you think the people behind them will firmly control the path for ordinary spirit masters to rise in power? If you don't pledge allegiance to them, you will never have the opportunity to rise, and your bright future as an elder will be cut off.
Never underestimate humanity's pursuit of power, nor the arrogance it displays toward its own people. They will never allow a peasant to rise above them, so we must establish an absolutely fair and just administrative structure, ensuring that all those willing to serve the people and work hard have the opportunity to rise to the highest levels.
Huang Tian nodded, thinking that what Liu Erlong said made a lot of sense. He felt that Bibi Dong's suggestion was a little inappropriate, so he decided to wait and discuss together later what political model Yanhuang City's future administrative structure would adopt, a democratic parliamentary system or a centralized autocratic system. What kind of system was most needed by the people, and what kind of system was the least desired by the people? These were all worthy of serious discussion. This matter was very important and could not be decided in a short period of time. It would require several meetings to decide.
Tang Yuehua smiled and said, "Let's put this matter aside for now. No matter how hard it is, we can't let education suffer. We still have to solve the education problem first. I think we can now inform Zhang Tianning, my second brother, and Flender about the establishment of the elementary and intermediate soul master academy. Have them immediately select a site and build a new academy to ensure that children of school age can go to school by next spring."
Huang Tian took out the communication jade token, compiled the decision into a message, and sent it to Zhang Tianning, Tang Hao, and Flender, asking them to start processing it immediately.
"yes."
"yes."
"yes."
As soon as the three received the news, they gathered together, opened the planning map of Yanhuang City, and agreed on the location to build the primary and intermediate soul master academies. Among the more than nine million people, there are 800,000 children under the age of 12. With so many people, it is definitely not enough to build only one primary and intermediate college.
After negotiation, the number of Junior Soul Master Academies will be 500, with six grades. Students will start school at the age of six, graduate at the age of twelve, and then proceed to the Intermediate Soul Master Academy. One hundred Intermediate Soul Master Academies will be built, with three grades. After graduation, students will be promoted to the Advanced Soul Master Academy for three years. After graduation, they will be 18 years old and can go out into the society to gain experience, get married and have children.
Since Yanhuang City was just established and its economy was not yet established, children's tuition was free, and food and accommodation were also free. These expenses were borne by the Yanhuang Palace and other major forces. After all, the Yanhuang Palace did not have much money and could not afford to support so many children.
After seeing that they had replied to the message, Huang Tian smiled and said, "Alright, the order has been given. With these three capable men in charge, we'll see results soon. Once they complete the site selection and start construction on the academy, we'll arrange other tasks for them."
Liu Erlong smiled and nodded, saying, "I see that the city area they're building has nothing but groundwater and a few small lakes on the surface. And if they want to develop shipping and fishing in the future, I think they'll need a large river leading to the ocean."
Huang Tian immediately became interested and said, "Do you mean we should help them build a canal?"
Liu Erlong smiled and said, "Yes, it would be best to create a canal 200 meters wide and 20 meters deep. We can build ports, shipyards, and other industrial facilities at the end of the canal. This will solve the labor needs of some people and thus boost the economy."
Tang Yuehua said with some concern, "The opening of the canal will indeed bring huge economic benefits to Yanhuang City. However, 99% of the people on the entire continent are now concentrated in Yanhuang City. Are we going to do business with the people on the overseas islands and reefs? They don't have much money. Moreover, if the canal is connected to the ocean, some sea soul beasts may follow the canal and come to Yanhuang City to attack humans. That would be a bit of a loss."
Liu Erlong said nonchalantly, "What are you afraid of? The waters are only twenty meters deep. How many powerful sea soul beasts can pass through? Besides, our human soul masters are not that weak. Even if they come, they will just be served as seafood on the tables of the people of Yanhuang City."
