Chapter 315: Maintaining Dignity a Million Times

On the morning of October 10, Zhao Yuxi brought 13 doses of the anti-aging drug to Guyuan City. One thousand of them were applied for by Teacher Jiang. At that time, she said, "I want to share the same amount of sin with you."

These words frequently appeared in Zhao Yuxi's mind and echoed for a long time.

That afternoon, Zhao Yuxi convened a meeting with her assistant Yu Xinyi, secretary Xie Yanqi, and the city's stationmasters. At the meeting, she showed the dignity preservation order she and Gu Tingzhou had written together.

The following regulations all come into effect if one party uses a dignity maintenance order.

If you actively trample on the dignity of others, you must pay the other party a reward equivalent to 0.2% of your total property. After the incident of trampling on dignity occurs, you will be divided into the active trampler and the dignity-loser. If the former's property is less than the latter's, the reward will be increased to three times. If the former's property is more than the latter's, a fine equivalent to double the reward will be paid.

Anyone who pays or receives 200 rewards within a year has a chance of being executed immediately.

When facing people below the Ancient Age, the Ancients have 200 opportunities to obtain and pay rewards, which are not counted in the total number of times. If they are Middle Ages, it is increased to 5000 times. If they are Ancients, it is increased to 200000 times.

A dignity order has four parts.

Yu Xinyi was uneasy when she saw the third part. The words "behead immediately" were too heavy and too old-fashioned. The people in the institute were not executioners, but soldiers. Someone else should be responsible for beheading immediately.

But that was impossible. The dean proposed the dignity maintenance order at the meeting, so the people who executed the order and implemented the law were all from the institute. The question was, who should be chosen as the executioner? Is there anyone willing to take the initiative to be the executioner? Of course there are, and there are even quite a few, but she herself is unwilling to do this.

What makes Xie Yanqi doubtful is the "probability". Because of the probability, people still need to make their own decisions when implementing the execution. Who is this person? Is he a low-level staff member, or someone who attended the meeting today? It should be someone who attended the meeting. The power of life and death is in their hands. A single thought can make the difference between yin and yang. If you are not careful, it will lead to a catastrophe or step into the abyss.

"The city's population is over 200 million, and you all know that. You will be executed if you receive or pay 16.67 times a year, which is an average of 10 times a month. Let's reduce it to 10 times. I will send the decree to Guyuan City on October 16. In the next month, are you going to defend your dignity million times?"

Zhao Yuxi knew very well that "100 million" was a seriously high number. She said this because she wanted to leave some margin.

Other people attending the meeting also understood what the dean meant.

The total number of research institute staff in the city is about 12,000. Even if all of them were sent out to maintain dignity, each person would have to do it more than 300 times a day on average.

The workload is too huge and it is impossible to complete it under normal circumstances. Even if all the civilian forces in this city and surrounding cities are transferred to help, and they are responsible for collecting information, transmitting information, and picking up and dropping off staff at any time, it is unlikely to achieve these.

Because it takes time to maintain dignity, and no one will willingly hand over their property to others. 0.2% may not seem like much, but what if it is tripled?

In addition, it takes time to deal with emergencies after maintaining dignity. Even if we hand this matter over to civilian forces, at least we should tell them how to deal with it, right?

When something happens, it is difficult for people to come up with a solution immediately. To execute the order of the branch director without violating the intention of the institute and to implement the dignity maintenance order, the degree in between cannot be determined in a short time.

"Do you all think 100 million times is too much? Then reduce it a little bit, is it too much to reduce it to 10 million times?" Everyone thought that the dean removed a zero with a stroke of his pen, which is a good thing, but 10 million times is still too much. The Guyuan City Research Institute branch is running at full capacity, and it can only maintain its dignity 10 million times a month at most. Moreover, this "at most" is based on the fact that other work is close to paralysis. Once the work of the institute is paralyzed, the dean will not forgive them, and the dean of the branch will not forgive them either.

"You all remain silent. Do you think 20 million times is too many? Each of you should count how many people are in your jurisdiction and then tell me the number. I will check your workload based on the numbers you tell me in a month. Don't try to fool me. The dignity maintenance order is for outsiders to see. There are other laws written for you to see."

If the dean hadn't said, "Don't try to fool me," some people would have reported more points and then reported more false points. But when the dean said this, they remembered the black note. The dean could tell the difference between truth and lies. If you want to deceive her, you have to deceive yourself first, but the dean will write a new decree to prevent self-deception.

The twelve webmasters were all thinking about what number to say. If they said the number was too big, the people under them would not finish the work and would report a number far from the target in the future, and they would be punished. If they said a number that was too small, far below the other webmasters, they might be punished now.

Ten million is too much. If you remove a zero and reduce it to one million, the number will be much more reasonable.

Three stationmasters have jurisdictions with populations exceeding one million, and one of them was the first to state the goal: "120000."

Zhao Yuxi is positive about the stationmaster's goal. The entire city should defend its dignity at least one million times in a month, an average of less than 0.1 times per person. The population under his jurisdiction is less than 120 million, and his goal is 120000. On average, each person exceeds 0.1 times, which is an extraordinary performance.

Zhao Yuxi was waiting for the stationmaster with the largest population to express his opinion. The average number of visits per capita had increased to 0.1, so the number the stationmaster said had to be at least 150000, otherwise he was just slacking off and doing things perfunctorily.

The webmaster thought for several seconds. 0.1 per capita is not high enough. Let's raise it a little bit, to 0.13.

"200000."

"Yue Haodong, you are the only one missing from the population of over one million. Tell me the number too."

Yue Haodong was flattered when the dean mentioned him. The population under his jurisdiction was just over one million, ranking third in the city. If the previous person had not said 200000, he would have said 120000, which should be appropriate. But with the high standard of 200000, he might not be able to come up with 120000.

He made up his mind and raised the standard a little bit. At most, he could urge his subordinates to do more work and work overtime. Anyway, he must not be at a disadvantage in the meeting today.

"140000." Yue Haodong thought that if he worked hard and encouraged himself, it would not be too difficult to achieve this goal.

Only 30% of the population was used to achieve 46% of the target. Zhao Yuxi is very satisfied with the current progress.

"No need to talk about the rest of the people, just take the average, 0.125. This is the bottom line, it cannot be lower than this number. Liang Peixin, the number you mentioned is a little short of the bottom line. In the second month, you have to double the missing amount to make up for it. Of course, if you can make up for it in the first month, then you don't have to double it, which is better. Now that the workload has been divided, let's talk about the details. Don't be afraid, there are still three days before the decree is issued, and these three days are enough for us to explain the details clearly."

The dean was about to start talking about the details. The assistant and the secretary looked at each other. The secretary took out his notebook first. After the assistant hesitated for a moment, the other stationmasters also took out their notebooks and pens.

Yu Xinyi was thinking that this person was really good at showing off, looking for trouble. How long could the content of the dean's meeting be? Wasn't the key point just a few sentences? Was it worth writing down these few sentences?
