Most representatives are not as evil-minded as Huang Hongkun, but have standard traditional Chinese thinking: the fight is temporary, and since the thieves are powerful - since even Mr. Wu of the county government is sitting on the stage, they There is nothing wrong with a group of ordinary people complying. 【Read full text】
The afternoon meeting was relatively simple. After delivering a round of tea, Wu De asked each village to elect a "liaison officer". The liaison officer would meet regularly at the Bairen Office on the first day of each month to receive instructions from the Crossing Group. .
"Liaison officer, you might as well ask each village to set up a maintenance committee." When the system was first formulated, some people felt uncomfortable with the term "liaison officer."
"The word liaison officer is very neutral, it doesn't matter." Ma Qianzhu didn't think it meant anything, "There is no need to maintain the meeting. We will just ask each village to set up a village committee in the future."
The liaison system nominally receives instructions from the Bairen Office, but in fact it is used by the group to remotely command the villages. At the same time, it is stipulated that liaison officers will be responsible for receiving and supporting office personnel when they visit each village.
"All payments will be made by public office personnel according to the price and the coupons paid," Wu De explained. "The coupons can be used to pay for the grain share allocated to each village."
For things whose value is difficult to determine at the moment, office personnel will issue receipts in duplicate, specifying the content of payment, and sign and pledge them to both parties. The liaison officer will bring the receipt to the office every month to verify the price and settle the accounts to compensate for the grain distribution.
This system is simple and clear, and does not harm the interests of the people. The representatives expressed their approval one after another. It's just that many people secretly doubt whether such a system can be implemented - the situation of those in power inconsistent with their words and deeds, and breaking their own words is a common situation that is most familiar to the Chinese people.
The meeting of the Political Consultative Conference and the Business Association is about to end. Now that all the major policies have been discussed, the rest are just some details. The details cannot be explained clearly in such a meeting of hundreds of people, so meetings will begin in groups, and the group will explain it.
Participants in the conference were divided into groups according to their respective cities and maps, and each group was assigned a time traveler to preside over the meeting. There are no more than thirty or forty representatives in a group. If you don’t understand something, you can ask immediately, making communication more efficient.
First, a set of simple weighing instruments was delivered to each village, including a set of large and small weights of 500. grams, named "Big Jin"; and a one-meter-long wooden ruler, named "Big Ruler". Both of these involve the future collection of materials, so they are the first standards to be unified by the time-traveling regime.
Wen Desi originally wanted to implement the Gregorian calendar, but the calendar had always been the patent of the imperial court. Promulgating the calendar without authorization was tantamount to rebellion, so he finally decided not to promulgate it. Wait until you completely break up with the imperial court before doing it.
Finally, a sample booklet of circulation coupons was issued to each village, with written instructions on how to use and exchange them. This booklet also has the certificate of the public office printed on it. In the future, as long as you hold the certificate when traveling to the countryside, you can ask each village to support its needs.
It was almost time for dinner. The elders and clan heads of each village, many of whom were old-timers, took advantage of the opportunity of face-to-face communication and demanded that the village warriors sent to join the security team must be led by their nephews. How could this happen? ? This unreasonable request was immediately rejected by the Executive Committee.
At this time, some landowners along the Wenlan River raised the issue of land - it turns out that part of the land currently occupied by the traversers along the coast is wasteland, but it is owned land. However, in the past, the landowners were afraid of the force of the traversers, and no one Dare to mention this matter, and now seeing that their attitude is friendly and reasonable, some people cry out that such and such a place belongs to their family, and the whole family depends on these places for food. Now it has been occupied by the elders, and the whole family has no food. So hungry.
Ma Qianzhu, who was present, frowned, thinking that before the officers and soldiers arrived, you landlords were already trying to make things worse! They actually came to ask for land from us. When they first occupied the land, they were very careful not to disturb or harm the people. Therefore, they did not occupy any land that showed signs of reclamation or use. They only chose desolate land filled with smoke and grass - the most lacking thing in Lingao. Wasteland, even the banks of the Wenlan River are no exception. Looking at the representatives who were crying, they were all fat and white, and they didn’t look like they were starved of food. Just as he was about to do it, Wen Desi stopped him:
"No, no. When we first arrived here, it was time to win the trust of the people. We can't be too tough."
This rightist really has a soft spot for the exploiting class. Ma Qianzhu had strong opinions in his heart, but now was the time to build rapport with the local government, and the landlords were also the targets of the united front. It was inconvenient to lose face, but he couldn't be too soft, lest he push too far.
After discussing it with Wu De, they announced that if the time traveler occupied the owned land, the landowners could go through the transfer procedures based on the title deed, and the public office would buy it according to the market price. Lingao has a lot of wasteland, and uncultivated land is worthless, and it doesn't cost much to acquire it.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the decision was announced, Wu Ya actually came out and solemnly pointed out that although many of the lands occupied by the time travelers were wasteland, they were official land. The land deeds had not yet been completed after the time travelers took possession. He suggested that the office go to the county government office to get the land deed - now that the travelers have the entity of Bairen Village, they can handle various documents.
Damn it, even the government is trying to get a kick in. They are really trying their best to generate income. Wu De wanted to hold the handle of the knife in his hand, and the other party would not dare to ask for a high price. If he gave the official some money, the state-owned assets would naturally be obtained at a cheap price. They had seen this trick before, but they never expected that they could experience it with their own hands in this time and space. Wu Ya immediately agreed and said he would come to visit another day. Wu Ya was in a good mood and felt that these thieves were really getting more and more knowledgeable.
This incident also reminded travelers of the need to conduct further investigation of the county's land conditions. The development plan formulated includes the construction of road networks and the development of industrial and mining areas, all of which involve the collection of land information. collect.
The first Lingao Political Consultation and Business Association meeting finally came to a successful conclusion, with Wen Desi delivering the closing speech. Then it was announced that a banquet would be held for all representatives in the evening, and there would be entertainment performances.
The evening banquet was held in the business hall of Dongmen City. The lobby of the store came in handy. The hall, which was originally a rough-hewn room, was renovated for this meeting, and the interior was carefully decorated by Dongmen Chuiyu and Dugu. In order to allow the indigenous people of this time and space to see the level of material civilization that transcends the times, to develop a mentality of worship, and to enrich the atmosphere. Chenglun once again acted as a provider of modern items. Despite the fierce opposition of the navy, Dugu proposed and led people to dismantle the chandeliers, decorative paintings, wall tapestries... all of which were in the banquet hall on Fengchenglun. The interior of the banquet hall of the business building.
According to Dongmen Chuiyu's idea, he also planned to pave the entire floor with natural stones such as marble. However, the machinery for cutting stone is currently in short supply, and no one will do this, so in the end, the traditional square tile paving was maintained - ―Decorated with a red carpet in the corridor obtained by Fengcheng Lun.
Because Xiao Zishan is the director of the general office, these matters are handled by him. Preparing a banquet for more than 300 representatives is naturally convenient in modern time and space. Everything is ready-made, but here you have to do everything yourself. At present, thousands of pieces of porcelain tableware were sorted out from the loot captured in Goujiazhuang. Chopsticks are easy to say, so they can be processed by the woodware factory immediately. In terms of ingredients, it feels more difficult. Although there is no shortage of vegetables now, meat, eggs, poultry and fats are all in short supply. Lin Quanfu went out urgently to buy some chickens, ducks and live pigs, so the dishes had to be mainly fish and shrimps. The Maritime Power Department used ice cubes made in the cold storage on the ship to freeze and delivered a lot of fresh fish and shrimp. Fortunately, there is no shortage of seasonings and spices in the canteen right now, so we can make a variety of dishes.
In order to show his magnificence, a huge piece of salt ice was specially made in the cold storage of Fengchenglun and sent to the business building. Now this piece of ice has been carved into a lion by the local stonemason with the best craftsmanship - he can only carve. this.
This ice lion just stood on a table in the center of the banquet hall, shining brightly under the chandelier and emitting white steam. The ice sculpture was surrounded by ice sculptures picked by the remote exploration team from Li District and Gaoshanling Mountains. Various tropical fruits and flowers are colorfully decorated. Whether it is a plate or a vase, all are made of glassware produced by the glass factory.
The delegates had never seen this before, and they were all dumbfounded - shorthairs are really luxurious! And the luxury is far beyond their imagination! But what surprised them most was not the ice sculptures and glassware, but the glass chandeliers hanging above their heads, continuously emitting soft and bright light.
The representatives had long heard from rumors that the shorthairs’ camp shone brightly every night, a light that even eclipsed the stars and moonlight. At this moment, almost everyone was staring at the chandelier, almost feeling mesmerized.
"Everyone, take a seat, take a seat." Wu De greeted everyone, and then everyone woke up and sat down one after another.
Because the table used was the local Eight Immortals table, there were eight people per table, and there were not many dishes. The standard was six dishes and one soup - which was quite simple according to the banquet standards of the Ming Dynasty. However, because the dishes used were fresh, everyone was very satisfied, especially the white wine that was served, which was extremely mellow and much better than the local local roasted wine. At first, the representatives were a little reserved, but then Wu De and others took turns to persuade them to drink. After a few drinks, the atmosphere suddenly became lively.
"I didn't expect this short-haired man to be so good at making wine!" A gentleman couldn't help but sigh.
"Yeah, I just can't figure it out." Another representative said, "Looking at their food and clothing expenses, even the rich and powerful families in Guangzhou may not be able to compare with them. Why don't they stay in their hometown and have to come all the way here?" We are a remote country."
"It seems that their houses are all very small and they like to build high-rise buildings. It's probably because there is less land and more people."
"I think they are short of women." A squire drank a few more drinks, blinked his eyes, and laughed obscenely, "Look at those real men, they are basically men, and women still give orders. It's not that they are short of women. , can you make a girl kick her nose into your face?"
Everyone laughed loudly and claimed that it was true. ! ~!
