I became a god by treasure hunting after arriving 500 years early

Lu Yuan actually didn't like formalism that much; he preferred to chat with his companions and savor the essence of human life.

In his free time, teasing a pretty girl... the feeling was just too good!

But now he already had a team, and things were slightly different from before.

As a major leader, on such an important day, the ritual of comforting his subordinates still had to be performed.

Nowadays, there wasn't any alcohol; he could only substitute it with fruit juice.

"Come, come, come, everyone has worked hard. In the coming days, we can slow down a bit and don't need to work overtime every day," Lu Yuan started by setting expectations as usual, announcing the good news, "From now on, I plan to implement single rest days."

"What is... single rest?"

It was an entirely new term.

"Work six days, rest one day! After all, humans are not machines; they need a combination of work and rest to enhance the efficiency of work and study."

Although the current Sky City was lacking so many things, be it industrial capacity or technological strength, it was insufficient.

However, Lu Yuan deeply understood that it was okay to let the young people dedicate themselves temporarily, but it could not continue for the long term.

Nowadays, the work hours exceeding twelve hours a day were indeed excessive.

"During the rest days, will there be a salary?" Sha Mo cautiously asked.

"Of course, this is the rest time I have scheduled."

This policy naturally received widespread praise, and the venue was noisy with continuous cheers.

Lu Yuan couldn't help feeling a bit guilty; he always felt he was exploiting these guys.

There were indeed many areas that needed improvement, and he couldn't afford to give them double rest days.

Besides, Lu Yuan was also thinking about the planning for the construction of various departments, which is, how exactly to establish the government of Green Grass Town?

He had thought about it for a long time because the current population was too small, and many times, it was direct command under a flat management system, which was simple and efficient.

But obviously, extensive management could not be sustained in the long term.

How to maintain the current morale and spirit, people are prone to laziness, and once lazy, it becomes very difficult to recover diligence unless faced with a life-and-death crisis...

Decay and corruption are the norms of the world.

So, it was time to consider organizing a slightly more formal political system.

"Sha Mo could be the head of the technology group."

"Guo Weiqiang in charge of the engineering group? The engraving group?"

"Sha Kan'er as the... commander of the army? A thousand people in a regiment, sounds about right."

"Sha Sanli, continue as the director of the education department?"

Lu Yuan had heard that the current director of education had a reputation that could stop children from crying at night.

"Who else is talented..."

"There's also the issue of legal matters, the original clan's laws were too bloody, also need to find a way to change them."

But upon further consideration, he still felt that the people at hand were a bit inexperienced; they needed several more years of experience, at least until finishing their doctorate, to properly establish a government.

However, seeing Elder Sha this time, Lu Yuan remembered another matter and couldn't help but say, "Elder Sha, now that Sky City has truly risen, those who want to leave, please convince them."

"Especially those with children... allowing children to return to their previous lives, I can't bear it."

Sha Sanli heaved a sigh as well: "Ah, that's true. The old batch, if they can't learn new knowledge, that's one thing, but the children can always learn... really."

"But some people are just stubborn; if they're not satisfied, they want to leave."

Lu Yuan didn't intend to revive clan culture, he straightforwardly said, "Set up a cemetery for them to worship their ancestors, this is reasonable, and I won't stop them."

"But wanting to introduce courses in the Sha Li Clan's language in schools, that obviously won't work."

"You didn't teach them to the children before, and now with Green Grass Paradise and efficient teaching methods, you want to reap the benefits, isn't that nonsense?"

"Unified script, standardized gauge, harmonized principles, Lu Yuan understood these things well."

Multicultural?

What a joke!

With such a small population, do we have that privilege?

Lu Yuan shifted his tone: "Of course, if those clan elders, the elders, are willing to set up cultural classes themselves to teach the children literacy, I won't oppose it."

Sha Sanli also smiled wryly; learning Chinese characters is a compulsory course for civil service exams.

But the Sha Li Clan's language... learning it serves no purpose, and who would go to learn it?

"Sigh, I will do my best to retain a group of people."

"Those who really can't be retained, just let it be."

In the meantime, Guo Weiqiang called out, "Captain Lu, don't worry about them, come try Old Guo's engraving braised chicken legs."

Lu Yuan laughed heartily, turned around, and toasted the key contributors.

Discussing, mediating, criticizing, dialoguing, he seemed to gradually become accustomed to these troublesome matters.

The world is a huge ramshackle stage, but a ramshackle stage can also achieve great things; at least this time, they had successfully raised this city.

Looking at the glowing faces of the people, watching those singing and dancing, and the children incessantly climbing trees and playing with glass marbles, Lu Yuan suddenly felt a very warm sensation, like the head of a big family.

"Keep it up, the 18th civilization of Humanity!"

...

...

The next day, early in the morning, Sky City officially set sail!

Nothing unexpected happened, almost identical to yesterday's process, Sky City steadily floated thousands of meters into the sky.

Pushed by the wind and sand, it slowly moved southward, much like a giant hot air balloon.

Looking down from above the city, the golden desert stretched endlessly, and the sand dunes resembled the waves of the sea.
