Chapter 504 Policy Inclination
```
Just a few days ago, Suming was engaged in fierce combat with terrorists, standing alongside the Lure People to suppress the Gates of Hell, pondering grand questions about where humanity came from and where it was headed. Upon his return to his homeland, he transformed overnight into the equivalent of a community committee lady.
Well, if he had to be a community committee lady, he still had quite an edge in managing his fellow Lure People; even the most rebellious among them had to show him, their Divine Envoy, some respect.
It seemed there really was no one else who could manage them after all.
The two hundred Lure People who had followed him back were mainly the younger generation of their tribe, including two platoons of veterans who had served in the Iraqi Government Army. These battle-hardened individuals, under Amir's leadership, were charged with the noble mission bestowed upon them by their entire tribe: to ensure the safety of the Divine Envoy... However, Suming felt that Alayi, that clever old man, might have had other ideas, like having Amir accompany Suming to prevent him, the Divine Envoy who didn't even believe in gods, from getting bored one day and suddenly abandoning the Lure People.
Suming scratched his head, knowing that the ranks officials normally aspire to only increase in size, yet his seemed to be getting smaller. Before the zoo was privatized, being a zoo director was at least at the level of a deputy division head, and now he was a community committee director without a rank to his name.
Was his next career goal to become a deputy department head at the street office?
"Although my position as community committee director isn't officially recognized, it's still a public duty. I'm currently managing the zoo, and I have my own private company. Taking on this role as community committee director doesn't seem to fit with the party's regulations against its members engaging in business," Suming's mind was clear, and he wanted to take precautions. He'd traversed great rivers, but he couldn't afford to capsize in a shallow ditch.
"Don't worry about it, we've considered it on an organizational level, special cases require special handling," Wang Jian She was in a good mood. Wang Hao had made a big splash on the national livestream platform, and having the Lure People, the 57th ethnic group, settle in Yangchuan City was cause for celebration both publicly and privately.
Especially the latter, the emergence of a new ethnic group in the nation was a grand occasion not seen in a century. From a historical perspective, it was an achievement surpassing any so-called political success. It was even foreseeable that, in the future, he might be immortalized in the history of Yangchuan along with the 57th ethnic group.
Yangchuan had seen many deputy mayors, mayors, ******** over its history, but those who truly made history were rare, not to say there would be none in the future, but at least there was no precedent.
"Go for it, young man! The Yangchuan City Government is your strongest support!" encouraged Wang Jian She.
Suming just chuckled. That's why, despite all its flaws and imperfections, he still deeply loved his country.
Abroad, his mind was burdened with worries, and he was always on edge, like a wild Ultraman shouldering the responsibility of saving the Earth. Now back in his country, he could relax, with no need to ponder those big issues; just looking after his own patch of land was enough. As for humanity, peace, and such matters, he could leave those concerns to higher organizations.
This newly established community was officially known as Lure Community, but those who knew it well often referred to it as 'Taoyuan Community,' firstly because all the companies under Suming's name bore the 'Taoyuan' title; secondly, for the Lure People who had left behind war-torn Iraq to arrive in the peaceful and tranquil Yangchuan City, it truly felt like entering an idyllic paradise.
The news of Russia accepting two thousand Lure People had spread worldwide, with their engineering troops helping the Lure People build their homes. Photos symbolizing the grand unity of Russian nationalities featured in major media outlets globally, and President Vladimir always had a subtle sense of superiority at any event he attended.

Of course, the Huaxia Government couldn't be outdone by the Russian Government, and they gave significant policy support to the newly founded Taoyuan Community.
For the first ten years, Lure People could enjoy tax exemption in any industry they pursued. Afterward, taxes would increase gradually over a decade, with the standard national tax rate applying only after more than ten years in a profession. Moreover, businesses primarily run by Lure People could receive a range of government support, from securing contracts to tax refunds... The latter policy, to anyone with clear sight, was largely an economic reward for Suming himself.

In addition, in education, employment, social security, and other aspects, detailed policies were quickly formulated, even to the extent of detailing minor issues such as interest rate concessions for mortgage loans.
The policy tilt aimed to help the Lure People develop better in Huaxia, but the pressing issue at hand was that of survival and housing.
With Russia's 'pearl set before swine,' the Huaxia Government was not to be outdone.
The arrival of a new ethnic group always calls for the provision of a living area, yet in the city, every inch of land is worth its weight in gold, and commercial residential land can sell for millions per acre; naturally, it was not possible to allocate such land to the Lure People.
It was different behind the zoo, however, where rolling green mountains and drifting clouds, aside from the small hill clearly designated as part of the zoo's property, the rest of the mountain range was an excellent gift of favor, since it was all unproductive land. It was unlikely to attract real estate developers for decades, offering it to the Lure People as their homeland came at no cost but great benefit.
When foreign states came to pay homage, several hundred people were expected to change their nationality and join Huaxia. The Russians straightforwardly demarcated a harbor that was rich in resources and had a beautiful environment; of course, the Huaxia side could not show weakness either, and similarly allocated a picturesque and resource-rich mountainous area to the Lure People.
The big-government craftiness was evident in their actions. The greatest common feature of the two territories was that they held little value to the government, being otherwise unused.
The higher-ups had clear directives to handle the matter cleanly and beautifully. After a meeting between the provincial authorities and the Yangchuan City Government, a small circle was drawn on the map at the corner of the Qinling Mountains.
A small circle on the map translated into a staggeringly large area in reality, all incorporated into the Taoyuan Community.
The jurisdiction that Suming, the head of the Taoyuan Community Committee, oversaw was even larger than that of a typical county head.
.
The Russian Government dispatched engineering troops to help the Lure People build their homes, while the Huaxia Government, out of respect for ethnic customs, did not participate in the construction work. Instead, they simply gave a sum of money to the Taoyuan Community Committee, allowing the Lure People to build their own homes and purchase daily necessities.
The characteristics of the Community Committee's work were: multifaceted. From building houses to buying a wash basin and a toothbrush for each of the two hundred Lure People, all required the Community Committee to take the lead and handle the issues. Suming, the committee head acting alone, was simply too busy to manage it all.
Luckily, there were many experienced elders and folks in the zoo who temporarily took on part-time roles at the committee. A veterinarian with the help of a nurse took charge of the Lure People's health, Mrs. Tong, and the zoo's accountant were responsible for purchasing daily necessities, while Liang Shi picked twenty strong young men to live by the reservoir and join the fisheries company.
Suming devoted most of his energy to building houses.
