Question: What kind of talents are most lacking in the world of cultivation?
Answer: Management talents.
This is Bai Shuanghua’s biggest feeling during this period.
In a world of cultivation where the illiteracy rate is over 90%, there are only a few people who can recognize all the characters, let alone those who have received systematic education? The literacy rate of cultivators is relatively high, reaching over 90%, but almost everyone is focused on cultivation. How many people would spare the energy to manage?
The most representative example is Taiwei Sect. If it weren't for the sudden appearance of a talent like Feng Shao, it would have long been forgotten in the world, let alone developed and expanded.
In this world, management has always been very simple and crude. Almost everyone believes that as long as you have enough strength and use force to directly deter others, you will naturally grow and develop.
In the world of cultivation where personal strength is infinitely improved, this concept itself is not wrong. Just like company management in the modern world, as long as you can produce truly good things, it is actually very easy for a company to grow.
But this does not mean that management is useless.
Management means making all actions orderly, improving work efficiency, and reducing unnecessary waste of resources. If one of two basically identical entities has efficient management, then the speed of development will definitely be stronger than the other.
Simply put, strength and management are the difference between internal and external strength. Only knowing external strength will certainly make you strong, but if you can also have internal strength, then your strength will definitely be able to reach a higher level.
In this world, due to the strength of individual martial arts, strength is overvalued, resulting in management being despised. However, the revival of Taiwei Sect proves that if you can have good management, it is not impossible to rise against the trend.
After accepting Feng Shao's indoctrination, Bai Shuanghua also understood the importance of management. Therefore, she was very concerned about recruiting management talents. These days, she went out early and came back late, and almost every day she had to stay in the meeting room for a whole day. However, the management ability of those who applied was terrible.
To put it bluntly, these people came here to apply for the job with the idea that "anyone can do it". How could they understand management? They just wanted to have the power in the hands of management!
This gave Bai Shuanghua a headache and made him a little annoyed. What kind of people are these? Can you please stop bothering me? If I have this time, I might as well go back to the Gathering Spirits Tower and practice for a few hours!
Just when Bai Shuanghua was thinking about whether to go back early today and find a good place in the Gathering Spirit Tower to practice for a few hours, another person walked into the meeting room and asked to interview for a management position. To Bai Shuanghua's surprise, this time it was a woman!
Come to think of it, all the applicants for the previous few times were men!
Before Bai Shuanghua could speak, the woman said excitedly, "Hello, my name is Dai Zhixin, and I'm here to apply for a city management position. As long as you hire me, I have the confidence to build Wuling City into a powerful city known far and wide!"
Bai Shuanghua couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart. He is really small in stature, but he has such a big mouth!
But she still asked in a friendly manner: "What do you think about urban management? Please tell me your thoughts in detail."
Speaking of this, Dai Zhixin immediately became energetic. She said enthusiastically: "In fact, the so-called city management is nothing more than these few aspects, economy, people's livelihood, diplomacy, transportation, taxation, education, etc. As long as these aspects are done well, the strength of the city will naturally rise. First of all, regarding the economy, I have these ideas..."
Next, Dai Zhixin told Bai Shuanghua all the aspects of city management that she had thought of. Although she had no experience in city management, she was a company executive before she traveled through time, so she had some management skills. Moreover, she loved to read farming stories, and she longed for this kind of cultivation experience. Now that she had this opportunity, she naturally wanted to fully demonstrate it. Fortunately, she could also play farming in this different world and become a pioneer of an era.
While Dai Zhixin was talking, Bai Shuanghua's eyes became brighter and brighter.
This girl has something in her stomach!
Bai Shuanghua has been with Feng Shao for such a long time, and has learned a lot of new knowledge in management. Not to mention the level, at least there is some knowledge. Almost all of what Dai Zhixin said were things that the previous applicants had never mentioned, and were ignored by most people. However, Dai Zhixin attached great importance to these areas that were ignored by ordinary people, and believed that these areas were the key factors that determined the scale of urban development.
This actually coincides with Feng Shao's idea.
Dai Zhixin couldn't stop talking. She first talked about the early planning and made a five-year plan.
She first proposed that a blacksmith must first sharpen his own tools, and believed that the City Lord's Mansion should first implement compulsory education to improve the quality of citizens so that there would be a steady supply of talents.
Secondly, in terms of economy, we can consider opening up company registration and the creation of joint-stock companies. She suggested that the City Lord's Mansion could take the lead in creating a number of state-owned... oh no, city-owned enterprises to firmly control the most important resources...
The next thing is transportation. If you want to be rich, you must first build roads. Only with a well-developed transportation network can a city become a real trade center and gather wealth from the surrounding areas.
Finally, there is people's livelihood, which is divided into infrastructure and basic living needs. In simple terms, it is to fully meet the living needs of citizens, let citizens feel the beauty of living in Wuling City, and enhance the satisfaction in the hearts of citizens. In this way, citizens will also be willing to contribute their strength to Wuling City...
Bai Shuanghua felt dizzy and confused after listening to this. She couldn't understand many of the words Dai Zhixin said. She just subconsciously felt that although she didn't understand what she said, she felt that it seemed very powerful...
Perhaps, she is really the kind of management talent that Wuling City needs?
After Dai Zhixin finally finished speaking, Bai Shuanghua said to her solemnly, "Miss Dai, where do you live now?"
Dai Zhixin replied casually: "I am currently staying at the guesthouse in Mingyangfang."
Bai Shuanghua nodded and said, "I am very interested in many of Miss Dai's ideas, and I think Miss Dai is indeed the person we need. You go back and wait for notification. After I report to the city lord, I can decide whether to hire the girl!"
"Ah?" Dai Zhixin's face suddenly fell. I've said so much, but you want me to go back and wait for notification?
How could she know that Bai Shuanghua's "wait for notification" meant exactly what it said, and was not a tactful refusal.
When Dai Zhixin left the meeting room in a depressed mood, Bai Shuanghua felt puzzled.
Why is this girl suddenly so lost?
In the evening, Bai Shuanghua told Feng Shao about Dai Zhixin's affairs. However, Bai Shuanghua did not understand much of what Dai Zhixin said, so she just said that there was a beautiful girl who seemed to have good management skills.
Feng Shao was immediately interested when he heard this. After thinking for a while, he said, "I will meet this person in person at noon tomorrow."
Bai Shuanghua asked in surprise: "Master, aren't you getting married tomorrow?"
Feng Shao smiled and said, "It is still possible to find time to meet someone."
Bai Shuanghua shrugged: "Okay, since Master has said so, I will let her meet Master at noon tomorrow."
After that, Bai Shuanghua said goodbye to Feng Shao and hurriedly walked towards the Gathering Spirit Tower. She had wasted too much time recently, and if she didn't seize the time to practice, she was afraid that she would be lost in the crowd.
After Bai Shuanghua left, Feng Shao fell into deep thought. The girl Bai Shuanghua talked about always gave him a very strange feeling. But he couldn't tell what the feeling was. Maybe he would have to meet her in person to know.

the next day.
On June 16, the sun was shining brightly and the breeze was gentle. All the wise men, young and old, gathered together.
This day is the wedding day of Feng Shao, the Lord of Wuling City. For Feng Shao, who chooses one person to spend the rest of his life with, this is the only chance in his life, so he attaches great importance to this wedding.
"A wedding is to unite two families, to serve the ancestral temple and to continue the family line, so gentlemen take it very seriously. The wedding ceremony includes accepting the bride's betrothal gifts, asking for the bride's name, accepting the bride's betrothal gifts, accepting the bride's betrothal gifts, asking for the date, and welcoming the bride. The host sets up a table in the temple and greets the bride at the door. When the bride enters, she bows and yields before ascending, and listens to the temple's orders. This is how the wedding ceremony is solemnly and carefully conducted."
Early in the morning, everyone in the City Lord's Mansion was busy. The entire City Lord's Mansion was decorated with lights and colorful decorations, and the whole house was filled with red clouds. Everyone wore festive new clothes and looked very happy.
As early as yesterday, Lin Xiaoran was picked up by Xiao Ruoyao. Yunjian Pavilion temporarily prepared a house in the south of the city to serve as Lin Xiaoran's mother's home. At this time, Lin Xiaoran was sitting in front of the dressing table, letting the maid dress her. Xiao Ruoyao sat beside her, holding Lin Xiaoran's hand and giving her detailed instructions.
"Although we are monks, we don't need to take many worldly etiquette too seriously. But from today on, you will be Feng Shao's wife, and you should put your family first in your future actions. Feng Shao is a steady child, and I am very relieved. But you must also remember that you can't act recklessly in the future. You must think more about everything, so that you can live in harmony with your husband and wife and have a healthy family..."
As Xiao Ruoyao spoke, her eyes became red. She and Lin Fengtian only had this one daughter, and she raised her as a precious child. In Xiao Ruoyao's memory, Lin Xiaoran was still the little girl who kept circling around her, soft and sticky like a little dumpling. But she didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, the little girl had grown up and was going to get married.
Thinking of this, Xiao Ruoyao felt both relieved and sad.
Lin Xiaoran sensed his mother's emotions and comforted her, "Mother, even if Ran'er gets married, she will often come back to Yunjian Pavilion to see you in the future, so don't be sad."
Xiao Ruoyao stroked her head with a smile and whispered, "Mother is not sad, but happy. I am happy that my child has finally grown up..."
