After all the villagers arrived, Zhu Renxia announced Tianzun's decree in public.
"Our current population in Jiangjia Village has exceeded 700. Tianzun asked us to change our name and upgrade it from Jiangjia Village to a town. We are now working together to come up with a name for our town."
The fifth person, Liu Gongfu, Jin Zhu and others are all outsiders, so naturally they will not have any objections.
Although Jiang Fuzi is the village chief, he is also reasonable. He knows that the current village is no longer the Jiangjia Village it used to be. If he wants to attract more people, changing the name is the only option.
Only Jiang Yide strongly opposed: "This land was established by the ancestors of the Jiang family. No matter how many outsiders move in, it should still be called Jiangjia Village. I object. I object on behalf of all the villagers of Jiangjia Village. I object on behalf of the ancestors of the Jiang family." Liezong objects!"
"invalid objection."
Zhu Renxia directly rejected it and said decisively, "This is Tianzun's request. No one can object, otherwise they will be expelled from the village!"
After receiving a slap in the face, Jiang Yide was immediately discouraged, lowered his head and said nothing.
If they really were kicked out of the village because of their opposition to Tianzun, it is estimated that Jiang Xiong and the third son Jiang Jiao, who had just returned from abroad, could sever the father-son relationship with him.
Since even Jiang Bin, an old fox, is silent, why should he jump out and be the first to take the lead?
Even the old village chief had no objections, and the honest villagers below would naturally have no objections.
After Mr. Zhu was eating and drinking, only a fool would stand up against Tianzun. Everyone expressed their support, "We listen to Tianzun and Mr. Zhu in everything!"
However, Liu Gongfu raised his concerns: "The villagers will definitely agree with the name change. But if we upgrade from village to town, we are afraid that the county government will not agree."
"Tianzun said that as long as the villagers agree, it doesn't matter whether the government agrees or not."
Zhu Renxia said firmly, "If the government dares to come to trouble us, Tianzun will definitely take action!"
"Then I agree to change the name." Liu Gongfu raised his hand.
Jin Zhu raised her hand: "I agree too."
A fifth raised both hands: "I agree more."
Jiang Fuzi, Jiang Erhu, Jiang Xiong, Lu Buping, and other core members of the village all expressed their approval. Even Jiang Yide, who had just hit a wall, raised his hand in approval.
Zhu Renxia continued: "Since everyone agrees, I now officially announce that from now on, Jiangjia Village will be renamed Chang'an Town."
"What a great name!"
Everyone applauded and agreed, "It's because of Chang'an Tianzun that we can live a life without worries about food and clothing. In order to thank him for his kindness, it is most appropriate to change the name of Chang'an Town."
Zhu Renxia continued: "Tianzun also asked us to set up a management organization. Now everyone elects the mayor, and I elect the old master to be the mayor."
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Yide stood up: "Second brother, he is old and can no longer take on this important task. I recommend Mr. Zhu Renxia to be the mayor of Chang'an Town."
"I also recommend Mr. Zhu." Liu Gongfu raised his hand.
Jin Zhu raised his hand: "I choose Zhu Renxia."
The fifth person said: "Do you still have to choose? No one can shoulder the responsibility of the mayor except you, Zhu Renxia! Although the old master is a good person, he would not have such an idea."
Jiang Erhu, Jiang Xiong, and Lu Buqi all raised their hands: "Other than you, Zhu Renxia, we will not accept the position of mayor!"
Mr. Jiang stood up on crutches, stroking his beard and said: "Ren Xia, I know you are humble, but the position of the leader of Chang'an Town belongs to you, so please don't embarrass me anymore."
"Since you all show your love, I, Zhu Renxia, should be more respectful than obey your orders."
Zhu Renxia saluted all the villagers with clasped fists and took the oath of office: "I, Zhu Renxia, will definitely go all out and do my best for the prosperity of Chang'an Town in the future."
After a pause, he continued: "Our Chang'an Town is located at the junction of Guizhou and Guangxi, and is even a no-no-no zone. As our reputation grows, there will definitely be bandits and bandits trying to take advantage of us.
In order to protect the town and our families, I plan to set up a Chang'an Town Minzhuang Group. All men in the village over the age of fifteen and under fifty-five will be organized into Minzhuang and participate in training every day to defend their homeland.
The tasks of planting and harvesting crops are left to women and the elderly over fifty-five years old. As for children under the age of fifteen, they can attend schools in the town and study for free. "
As soon as Zhu Renxia finished speaking, all the villagers present applauded and praised the establishment of the school.
“The mayor is wise, it’s great that the children will be able to read and write in the future!”
"Support the mayor, and all the villagers support your wise decision!"
Master Jiang was overjoyed: "This is very good. Let me go to the school to teach children how to read and write. It will be considered a productive life and will not be idle every day."
Zhu Renxia said: "In addition to the old master who can teach, Chen Zhili from Chenjiacun is also a scholar. You can ask him to assist you in teaching and educating people."
Chen Zhili happily stood up and bowed to the villagers: "Thank you very much for the mayor's respect. I, Chen Zhili, will definitely help the old master teach the children well and strive to have at least one candidate in Chang'an Town in the future."
The villagers booed one after another: "As long as Mr. Chen gives his all, our Chang'an Town may be able to produce a number one scholar in the future!"
Zhu Renxia cleared his throat and said loudly: "I announce the appointment of the fifth person as the chief executive of Chang'an Town, who will assist me in managing all daily affairs and be responsible for the sales of various materials such as coal, rice, and liquor."
"Don't worry, brother!"
The fifth man held a fan and accepted the order, "Your fifth brother will definitely contribute his intelligence to Chang'an Town."
"Appoint Liu Gongfu as the chief instructor of the Chang'an Town Minzhuang Regiment, and Jin Zhu as the commander." Zhu Renxia continued to announce the appointments according to his own ideas.
"Here!"
Liu Gongfu stroked his beautiful three-foot beard on his chest, cupped his fists and accepted the order.
Jin Zhu smiled: "Commander? You have a big reputation, it's quite scary."
Zhu Renxia continued to announce: "Jiang Axiu will serve as the material manager, responsible for the distribution of materials in our Chang'an Town, as well as the payment of salaries to all colleagues who hold positions."
"Axiu is careful, kind, fair and selfless. There is no other person more suitable for this position than her." Jin Zhu was the first to agree.
Jiang Axiu's performance this month can be said to be impeccable, so naturally no one will object, and all the villagers unanimously support it.
She was so ashamed that she didn't know what to say, so she blushed and said, "No matter which villager is short of something at home, just come to me, Jiang Axiu, and I will definitely help you solve your problem."
Zhu Renxia added: "Our town should also establish three elders based on seniority and prestige. When I am away, we can jointly decide on major and minor matters. I propose that Old Master, Mr. Jiang Yide, and Mr. Chen Huang from Chenjia Village should serve. "
Mr. Jiang has high moral character and high prestige, so he is naturally the best choice for the elder.
As the village chief of Chenjia Village, Chen Huang brought more than 200 people, so he should have a place.
The only variable is Jiang Yide. Although he has enough seniority and age, his prestige is slightly lower, and the situation seems to be a bit small. Even if he is not selected, it is reasonable.
But after careful consideration, Zhu Renxia chose Jiang Yide.
First, Jiang Yide's ability is acceptable. Although his opposition just now somewhat undermined unity, it was indeed for the sake of Jiangjiacun.
You can say that he is small-minded or short-sighted, but you cannot say that he is evil-minded.
Moreover, his son Jiang Xiong has been working hard and working hard this month. He has to look at the Buddha's face even if he doesn't look at the monk's face.
Secondly, if Jiang Yide is not allowed to enter the "Presbyterian Church" just because of his objection just now, it will appear to be a bit narrow-minded and even vindictive.
Therefore, after some deliberation, Zhu Renxia finally chose Jiang Yide to serve as one of the "three elders".
Jiang Yide felt very ashamed after hearing this, and bowed his head and said: "Thank you very much, Mayor, for your respect. I am ashamed, I am ashamed. I will definitely follow your lead in the future and I will never have any objections."
"Hey... Mr. Yi De, what you said is wrong."
Zhu Renxia hurriedly corrected him to avoid giving the villagers the impression of being arbitrary. "This decision was not made by me, but by Tianzun. If I make a mistake in the future, everyone can correct me in person. I, Zhu Renxia, must be wrong." change."
"The mayor said it well!"
The villagers applauded.
Zhu Renxia summoned Cao Wan and Sun Quan to the queue again and said: "You two will be our scouts in Chang'an Town in the future. You will go to the county and town to inquire about the government affairs. If there is any trouble, you will come back as soon as possible to report it."
Both Cao Wan and Sun Quanju felt deeply valued, and both expressed their willingness to go through fire and water for Chang'an Town.
Zhu Renxia ordered four clay sculptors to carve a plaque and hang it on the south city gate, and Jiangjia Village was officially renamed Chang'an Town.
After the meeting, everyone performed their duties.
Master Jiang and Chen Zhili, accompanied by No. 5, selected schools together to see which courtyard was most suitable for teaching and educating people.
Liu Gongfu, Jin Zhu and others worked intensively to train the Minzhuang Regiment. After some statistics, a total of 132 people met the conditions.
Liu Gongfu divided the people into four groups. In addition to Jiang Erhu, Jiang Xiong, and Lu Buping, who continued to serve as group leaders, Jiang Jiao, who had been fishing in the Li River for many years and was familiar with water properties and was physically strong, was appointed as the third group leader. Leader of the four groups.
Under the scorching sun.
The men train hard, the women are busy in the fields, and the children read aloud in class, like a picture of a prosperous age.
Zhu Renxia stood on the city wall, looked up at the giant face in the sky, and asked with a smile: "Tianzun, do you think this prosperous age is as you wish?"
