Royal Gold Medal County Magistrate

The revision of the Yellow Register proceeded extremely quickly.

Although the Holy City was large, it had a vast number of low-level clergy.

Each of these individuals was responsible for their respective areas, and the common people would come without needing to be visited.

With the Great Jing sending people to coordinate, it could be completed quickly with just a little statistical compilation.

In just three months, with the mobilization of a large workforce, the Yellow Register creation work in the Holy City was completed.

Meanwhile, construction was also proceeding vigorously and at a similarly rapid pace.

There were no procedural approvals, and there weren't even any land disputes.

The land in the slums, in a sense, was ownerless and abandoned, with no value for possession.

Even if someone occupied it, it didn't matter; just send two people to reoccupy it.

After the environmental measurements were taken, a large number of recruitment advertisements were posted throughout the streets.

The Holy City had a strong foundation, and all basic related facilities and talent could be found within the city.

The lure of money, coupled with the promotion by the clergy, quickly formed a massive construction team.

Several major projects started simultaneously, with schools and residential areas progressing the fastest.

Within a month, construction had already begun in the slums.

According to Fang Zheng's plan, there were no special requirements for the construction of the small buildings.

The only requirement was speed; to achieve speed, shoddy work was acceptable; as long as it was habitable!

After all, the houses were built to win people's hearts and establish the framework, and were given to the residents of the slums for free. Without affecting the overall framework, there was no need to waste so much financial and material resources.

In case something unexpected happened, the blame could be shifted to the Church.

The only facilities that could be considered carefully designed were the toilets and the community environment.

The residential area was built entirely according to the simplified version of the Great Jing's landscape garden requirements. The overall design not only had to be clean but also had to reflect the beauty of nature.

In addition to some vegetation and water feature landscaping, the most distinctive feature was the construction of many Great Jing-style pavilions with mortise and tenon structures.

When the first phase of the 'Scholarly Home' residential area was advertised, unsurprisingly, many people were particularly puzzled by the name of the community.

Giving a residential area such a strange name was obviously not conducive to promotion.

Director Fang had considered it, but still decided on this name.

It wasn't out of some cultural invasion reason.

But purely out of a wicked sense of humor.

In his previous life, many residential areas had all sorts of foreign names, such as Barcelona, European City, Rhine Style, Disneyland Town...

It's hard to imagine that in the context of collectively opposing foreign worship in his previous life, the owners living in European City, Disneyland Town, and Rhine Style were also chanting the same slogans.

It can't be said it's wrong, but this situation is simply hilarious.

If the owners were then subjected to the crazy harassment of the property management, then the residential area would simply be comparable to a concession...

...

The speed of construction continued to be rapid.

The Red Romance Clubhouse and the Golden Music Hall were also completed ahead of schedule under Master Wu's urging.

In just another seven months, the first batch of low-quality buildings had been capped and completed.

Although they were low-quality, that was internally!

The outside was still built beautifully, with the walls painted with Great Jing calligraphy and painting elements, forming a sharp contrast with the unrenovated slum outside the community.

As the first building was completely completed and residents began to move in, others eagerly awaited.

Being able to live in this exquisite housing must be a very high enjoyment.

However, many people were more concerned not with the housing itself, but with the added value that the housing brought!

With the completion of the residential buildings, the first Great Jing-built experimental primary school also completed its first phase of classrooms and had already begun to recruit students.

Children's education was free, and children under the age of fourteen could be recruited, starting with zero basics!

Not only was it free, but the school also promised that after graduation, children could directly enter Mount Holy Temple to become probationary clergy.

If they couldn't get into Mount Holy Temple, it didn't matter; there was also the opportunity to work under the Red-Top Merchant, Mr. Hope, within the Holy City, with a promising future!

To enroll, the only requirement besides age was that one must be a resident of the community to be eligible...

Inside a shack in the slums.

A skinny man in tattered clothes quietly looked through a hole in the shack at the six-story building not far away.

He held a glass filled with low-quality malt liquor.

After watching for a long time, he finally drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, and then slammed the glass hard on the bed board.

Beside him, from another room, came the incessant voice of his wife.

"I said you're incompetent, and you still don't want to admit it. You can't even work on the construction site for long, and you only know how to drink when you come home!"

"You build houses, and other people live in them for free. What kind of karma did I have in my previous life to marry a useless person like you!"

Walter clenched his fists tightly, looking at the door panel behind him.

After struggling for a moment, he let go of his fists in frustration, not daring to say a word.

His wife's complaints continued: "If you had gone out to rob some money with those people when the trouble started, you wouldn't have to live like this now! Blake next door went out to rob money and even called you, why didn't you go? He's moved into the inner city now. What can you do?"

"It would be one thing if you couldn't rob any money! Now, even when people are giving away free houses, it's not your turn. It's only across the street, and I have to live with you in this garbage dump. I'm really unlucky. If our son could live across the street and go to the experimental primary school, wouldn't he be successful in the future?"

"There are also free church schools, it's not like he can't go." Walter couldn't help but retort.

The door panel was kicked open with a bang, and his wife, carrying a kitchen knife, stared at him fiercely, yelling.

"Can that be the same! What can you do after graduating from church school? Look at Blake, we're neighbors living next to each other, how did he become successful, and now he's thriving! He drinks coffee at Jingbuck's Coffee during the day and goes to Red Romance and the Music Hall at night! You can only stay at home."

"I really can't get any benefit from you!"

"He even changed his wife with the money." Walter muttered.

His wife sneered: "I wouldn't say anything if you had that ability! Look at your appearance, I was really blind, I only married you because you knew a few more words than others."

"You're like a little chicken, you can't do it once in two months, you can't do heavy work, and you don't even have the guts to rob!"

Walter, with a red neck, argued loudly: "They are all rioters, robbers! I've been educated, can I be like them? How many literate people are there in the slums? I'm too lazy to earn such dirty money."

"Tch, still pretending!" His wife sneered contemptuously, "You're nothing!"

"If you're not convinced, change our household registration and get a house in that community, and our child can go to the school run by the Great Jing people, and he'll make a lot of money in the future. If you wait until they build houses here, our son will be over age, and he won't be able to go to the Great Jing school! You're useless yourself, don't delay the child."

One "useless" after another.

Walter's blood surged, and he endured his anger and said: "How can I change it, where do I go to change it? You make it sound so easy."

"Go find Blake! You only know one rich person, you've known each other for over twenty years, what's wrong with asking him for a little help?"
