Thriving Day by Day

The elderly man in military uniform took the list from Lu Bai, glanced at the number of people, and confirmed, "All of them?"

That's all for now. I'll let you know if there's a new list.

Lu Bai waved his hand, indicating that the old man in military uniform could go and get back to work.

The list he provided naturally contained individuals who had committed crimes during that period.

In fact, the measures taken by the authorities in the Ground Return Plan were basically in accordance with the [Ground Return Plan - Emergency Management Guidelines] jointly formulated by the City Council and the Coordination Committee.

This newly drafted guideline includes work processes, organizational command structures, and also covers the principles and regulations that must be followed.

Regardless of the actual situation in practice, at least the content written out and published is sufficiently upright and rigorous, or as one might say, dignified and respectable.

Normally, these are just empty words; no one will strictly adhere to them.

However, this did make things convenient for Lu Bai.

After all, the contents of the guidelines had been discussed countless times at the city council meetings, and were quite comprehensive in various details.

Lu Bai didn't even need to formulate new rules; he could simply maintain the operation of the Forward Base according to the regulations in the manual.

Human beings are often more concerned with inequality than scarcity.

Ultimately, it all comes down to fairness.

If fairness can be guaranteed, the management difficulty is actually very low.

As long as Lu Bai does a good enough job in supervision, there shouldn't be any major problems.

The beginning of the corruption of any regime is a problem with its oversight.

But for Lu Bai, oversight was the least of his worries.

With his versatile and adaptable abilities, any illegal activity seems to happen right under his nose, ensuring that criminals cannot escape punishment and will ultimately be brought to justice.

Watching the elderly man in military uniform leave with the list, Lu Bai stretched and then continued to review the various internal documents of the Forward Base.

He is not affected by negative emotions, which ensures that he can make rational judgments in any situation.

However, while being rational, it was not so mechanical and cold as to be inhumane.

Perhaps because he's already used to it, Lu Bai himself finds it hard to realize that he's actually very suitable for the role of the supervisor.

That is indeed the case.

Two days passed in the blink of an eye, and the Forward Base did not experience any of the previous riots.

Although some minor disturbances inevitably occurred during this period due to the large number of people returning to the ground, the armed forces strictly enforced the law, so even if the people had grievances, they would not vent them on law enforcement officers.

Moreover, Lu Bai maintains a [Mindstream Network] at all times, allowing him to [Scene Reenactment] at any time.

The main focus is on openness and transparency.

Once the truth is revealed, people with normal universal values will not be misled by rumors.

They have no worries about food and drink, and their personal dignity is guaranteed not to be trampled on. Only someone who's too full to care about anything would risk their life to cause trouble.

As a result, the Forward Base actually presented a thriving scene.

As a result, there have been many incidents in the past two days where people have even fought over who gets to stay in the residential area.

Lu Bai glanced through the documents on his desk, checked the signature box at the bottom, and added, "We can now recruit the first batch of people to arrive on the surface into the construction team."

This construction team was actually only recently formed.

In fact, the Coordination Committee never considered where most people would live after returning to the ground.

In their view, the people who return to the ground will find places to live on their own.

Whether it's a settlement or a deserted place to build a house, it doesn't matter. There's so much living space on the ground that you can easily settle down without worrying about the loss of people.

They call it that life will find its own way.

However, after Lu Bai came to power, he clearly did not intend to sit idly by and watch this situation unfold.

As more and more people return to the surface, the Forward Base is being expanded accordingly.

The arrangement of recruiting ordinary people into the construction team was something Lu Bai had considered before deciding to step forward.

In his view, these people who have returned to the ground are, in a sense, the same as refugees.

After ensuring basic living conditions, using work-for-relief methods can also prevent the creation of a large number of lazy people.

After all, human nature cannot withstand the test.

He will give people at the bottom a chance to live like human beings, but he won't provide them with food and drink or act as their devoted caregiver.

It's not about being stingy or anything else; it's just that we hope to give full play to people's initiative.

The pursuit of a better life is human nature, and it is precisely this that enables human society to progress.

The elderly man in military uniform didn't comment on Lu Bai's decision. He nodded to indicate that he understood, then asked, "The City Council hasn't sent any inquiries today. They should already know what happened at the Forward Base. What preparations do we need to make?"

Incidentally, those former government personnel at the Forward Base only bowed down out of fear of Lu Bai's power; they had no loyalty whatsoever. Even if they saw that Lu Bai's arrangements were concealed, they wouldn't warn him.

Especially for staff officers and think tank members who rely on their brains, even if they are openly slacking off, there's nothing wrong with it.

Lu Bai was fully aware of this.

However, he didn't take these things to heart, or at least they weren't a high priority.

Ultimately, the great power comes from within, and its ability to correct mistakes is far stronger than that of a normal bureaucratic system.

"The city council has finally realized what's happening."

Lu Bai looked up at the old man in military uniform. "Is the secluded elevator still transporting people?"

"It's still operating normally."

"Then we don't need to worry about it."

The elderly man in military uniform hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded without saying anything more.

Lu Bai waved his hand. "If there's nothing else, you can go down now. Find a few economic experts to come see me."

Residential area, canteen.

By strictly adhering to rules and regulations, these canteens will naturally be open to the general public.

Therefore, every canteen is always packed with people, no matter the time of day.

This noisy environment made me feel like I was back in my school days.

"What's wrong with you? This isn't like you." Li Shan waved her hand in front of Feng Yixuan's eyes.

Ever since Lu Bai stepped forward to take over the Forward Base, Feng Yixuan has become taciturn.

Li Shan shrugged helplessly, picked up a piece of meat and put it in his mouth, then shoveled a mouthful of rice, and soon finished off a single meal.

Seeing that Li Shan had finished eating, Feng Yixuan asked somewhat hesitantly, "Aren't you surprised at all? Your junior classmate turned out to be a big villain."
