Pretending To Be A Boss-Chapter 402 - 56: Baichuan City with a Population of 3000_2
"You also came to Baichuan City?" Liu Lang set aside his work and greeted warmly.
"Just stopping by to see, and I have something I need Tang Xian’s help with. Business wasn’t even this good at the Pyramid, right?" Seeing Liu Lang made Yu Xiaozhe quite happy.
"You got that right, and it’s not just me who’s busy. Everyone’s hard at work. Tang Xian came by here once today and later went to the library. He’s been waiting for you these past few days. I can’t get away because I’m too busy, so I’ll have Buding take you to him."
"Waiting for me?" Yu Xiaozhe became even more puzzled.
After saying that, Liu Lang called out twice, and Liu Buding poked his little head out from the back door of the shop. Understanding the situation, he happily led Yu Xiaozhe to see Tang Xian.
Yu Xiaozhe was still somewhat bewildered, and asked on the way:
"Why do you seem so happy about this?"
"Tang Xian said that as soon as you arrive, we’ll quickly be able to solve the city’s problem of having no electricity."
Yu Xiaozhe suddenly felt like he had been set up.

Over the past month, Tang Xian hadn’t been very busy. Even though everyone else was. However, he ultimately lived up to the ’leisure’ in his name.

Because Li Xiaoyu truly possessed talent in management, in this regard, she displayed an overwhelming intellectual superiority.
So much so that Tang Xian felt it would be appropriate to create an intelligence unit of measurement named after her to describe highly intelligent groups.
After calculations on Tang Xian’s part, one Yu equated to approximately 7.5 Dongs.
The various pressing matters of Baichuan City, including food, clothing, housing, transportation, the source of various goods, pricing, currency production, some market rules, the currently available jobs, the ratio of guards to production workers, and a whole series of things like housing distribution and household registration systems.
With the diligent efforts of Li Xiaoyu, this painstaking series of city planning and management tasks had all received a highly detailed and thorough arrangement and planning.
When Tang Xian arrived at Baichuan City with over three thousand people, even though the scale had stunned a few girls, Li Xiaoyu’s originally formulated series of measures quickly came in handy.
In just a few short days, Li Xiaoyu had allocated the people properly.
If anyone was most qualified to be the mayor of Baichuan City, it would probably be Li Xiaoyu.
That’s because by comparison, Tang Xian did very little. Even Qiao Shanshan, who was a doctor, was busier than Tang Xian.
In Tang Xian’s own words: I’m so frail.
His greatest interest was naturally in cooking various kinds of meat.
Hunting on the outskirts with Tang Feiji and Qing JiuYu was what Tang Xian did most.
Of course, the reconstruction of Baichuan City also encountered many problems.
With the telekinesis of Pyramids like Tang Suoye and Akasi who could work like a thousand men alone, the repair of the buildings progressed swiftly.
Especially with the telekinetic combination of the Pyramids and Tang Suoye, the construction of the entire city was completed at an almost wicked speed.
But Baichuan City still had no electricity. Moreover, it was severely short of technical personnel related to industry.
The initial over three thousand citizens of Baichuan City were mostly from the lower strata, and there were hardly any among them who had been educated.
Before even entering the third layer of learning, they had been sent to the pit mines to start a life of mining slavery, so naturally, it was impossible to expect them to master advanced techniques.
In Tang Xian’s view, these people were currently just ordinary labor.
To solve this problem, another institution had to be established.

Baichuan City had quite a few vacant universities—the venues were available, but the content of the textbooks was not applicable.
Moreover, paper materials were difficult to preserve.
Assessing who was suitable for what and what they excelled at was also a difficult task.
Li Xiaoyu couldn’t handle these matters alone, and Tang Xian, the frail contractor, would occasionally help out.
But even just educating Tang Xiaojiu seemed to Tang Xian like an exhausting task.
Tang Xiaojiu’s level of Chinese had reached a point where she could even infuriate the ancients.
So more complex industrial knowledge was something Tang Xian wasn’t sure whether the citizens of Baichuan City would be able to understand.
The best solution to all these problems wasn’t to start developing talents now.
It was to directly introduce talents. Not many were needed, a hundred or so would suffice.
But where to introduce them from was an extremely troublesome problem.
When Tang Xian thought up to this point, he set his sights on Yu Xiaozhe.
Liu Buding led Yu Xiaozhe all the way, and Yu Xiaozhe had gotten to understand quite a lot about Baichuan City.
At the moment, Tang Xian was reading in the library.
In the vast library, there was only Tang Xian.
After all, over three thousand people, even non-humans like Qing JiuYu and Tang Feiji, had been mobilized by Li Xiaoyu.
Despite Qing JiuYu feeling that she at least had the status of a female host, when it came to managing the city, Tang Xian had strict requirements.
Everyone was to follow Li Xiaoyu’s orders, or else they wouldn’t be fed.
To the members of the Sheng Tang Squad, not being fed was indeed a kind of punishment.
In any case, now in this city, the only one who could casually read in the library during the day was Tang Xian.
He was holding a hardcover edition of "Bogus French Cuisine Cooking Techniques" in his hands.
Currently, only books of this hardcover edition could still be read; ordinary paper books had corroded to the point of being unreadable.
What Tang Xian found amusing was that Huaxia’s cuisine was actually very rich, but the dishes displayed on the shelves, whether royal or home-style, were very cheaply priced.
Meanwhile, the western cuisine cooking book he was holding, despite its recipes not being more complex or creative than Huaxia’s cuisine, could sell for more than six hundred.
