New World 1620

Wednesday, October 1621, 6.

It has been exactly nine months since the catastrophe of crossing last year.Nearly 1 residents of the Manhattan community, aged from 69 to [-], went from initial panic to unthinkable, and then from helplessness to today's preliminary determination. No matter men or women, their mental outlook has undergone considerable changes.

The second phase of the urban expansion project in the Manhattan community has been officially completed. The urban construction engineering team with more than 200 skilled Indian employees has more than doubled the area of ​​the entire community. Most of the houses have undergone more scientific design and reconstruction to further improve The city's water supply and drainage system has been put into operation, and the improved steam pump that has been tested and proven to be available has contributed a lot in this respect. For this reason, the design and production personnel of the steam unit of the Ministry of Industry have given a lot of awards from top to bottom.

The highest building in the entire community is nothing but a three-story committee building with mixed wood structure, and the residential buildings are unified into several styles of villas, which are divided into several neat areas surrounded by green tree streets.

The area once densely built as temporary wooden houses was bulldozed and turned into a commercial block, and the central area containing a small pond was expanded into a community square.The living environment has been greatly improved, allowing the Manhattan community with a permanent population of less than [-] to present the appearance of a modern garden town.

The paper design of the third phase of the urban expansion project has been completed. According to the plan, the urban construction engineering team led by Dong Jiunan will spend half a year to continue to expand several blocks in the west and south of the Brooklyn Industrial Zone and build a large number of single-unit apartments. Residential areas to prepare for future resettlement.

In the southeast of the industrial zone, the Delaware Indian workers spontaneously formed a new residential area under the intentional or unintentional abandonment of the technicians in the industrial zone. Relatively cheap bricks and tiles and almost cost-free logs and soil, Residential houses resembling dormitory shacks in industrial areas have been built.

Compared with the development and expansion in full swing, a more conservative and cautious meeting is being held in the community committee building at this time.

According to the initiative of Chairman Liu Lao and Vice Chairman Qi Jianjun, the Manhattan Community Committee conducted public co-option of members for the first time since the catastrophe, and the previous increase in members was all in the form of appointment under the centralized administrative management system.

According to the member co-option plan, the number of members of the entire community committee will be expanded from the current size of 18 to 24 people.The six additional places will be voted by residents over the age of 6 in the whole community.

The issue of the large number of military and security departments in the committee that had been secretly negotiated has been left behind in various strange and silent atmospheres.But such a public co-option activity made some members have other ideas in their hearts.

The addition of members is to dilute certain elements that are too strong, and it is a tacit common guess of everyone.Because among the current 18 members of the committee, there are as many as 8 members related to military security, but military security committee member Zheng Quan and others have not expressed any dissatisfaction with such rumors and speculations.

Zhong Jinshan, a former law professor, was elected as a judiciary member by the youths; Di Zugong, a quality and safety management engineer in the Brooklyn Industrial Zone, won the votes of many technicians and became a "labor and safety committee", referred to as a labor insurance committee member; The Commissioner of Trade was abolished, and Li Xiang, who had been in an embarrassing position in the committee, officially became the "Immigrant and Religious Affairs Commissioner", referred to as the Ethnic and Religious Affairs Commissioner...

As a result, the military faction, which originally accounted for nearly [-]% of the votes in the democratic centralization of the community committee, was reduced to [-]%.

"Today is the first meeting after the co-option of the community committee, and it is also the most important meeting so far. Everyone is a manager who has worked hard for the whole community for nine months, and will be responsible for the further development of the whole community in the next time important task!"

Mr. Liu held the documents in his hand with a nonchalant expression, and looked around the circle of men, women and children in the conference room, with a loud and steady voice.

"In the next three months, Mr. Zhong will take the lead to set up a 'legislative group'. The group members are initially set to be 8 people, including 5 committee members and 3 community residents. They will be responsible for rebuilding a set of legislation suitable for the current community development. The judiciary and relevant legal provisions. The formulation of laws will refer to the mature content of the previous country and draw on the opinions of residents on a larger scale.”

"Aren't we using the previous law now?" Zhang Chunrui, commander-in-chief of the Neiwan Fortress of the Maritime Guard, showed a puzzled expression.

"Old Zhang, the previous legal provisions were complicated, and many of the contents were drawn up in consideration of the special national conditions at that time. Of course, the contents must be very complete..." Qi Jianjun took a sip of tea and looked at the commander-in-chief of the fortress opposite him with a smile. "Therefore, it is necessary to make appropriate corrections based on the actual situation of the current community."

"Including this co-option is considered an amendment?"

Chen Liwen, the commander-in-chief of the land garrison, suddenly muttered coldly, and all the men and women around him cast strange glances.

"It's not an amendment, it's a real rule that the whole community must abide by in the future." Mr. Liu glanced at Zhong Jinshan who was silent in the corner, and stood up.

"Now is not the past. We can shirk, evade and even perfunctory many things. The success or failure of things is decided by the leader. We are all used to the attitude and method of 'the big business has little influence'. Now we We are shouldering more burdens than ever before. The future of nearly [-] people is all in our minds. In the past, there were more than one billion people, and how much public opinion the leaders could listen to was a big problem, but now, should we listen to the hearts of [-] brothers and sisters? Are you running out of time?"

Liu Lao's words were like a heavy hammer on everyone's hearts, even Zheng Quan couldn't help but nodded slightly.

"The rule is that we should try our best to respect everyone's opinions. To put it more practically, even if the members of the committee are in charge, we can't just have the final say, we need everyone's approval. Even if we need to maintain a more efficient and stable organization in a special period To manage the organization, we also need to let everyone understand that we are not a dictatorship!"

A more ruthless word was spat out by Mr. Liu, and many people had never dared to think or say it on the table, and the Chinese character who is accustomed to subtlety and beating around the bush couldn't adapt to it for a while.

"For what? Just because some people say that we are always pointing fingers? Isn't everything we do for everyone's sake?" Chen Liwen blushed, unable to vomit.

"To build a nation, to build a new nation that truly belongs to this new world of ours. To leave for our children and grandchildren a nation closer to what was once ideal."

After Mr. Liu finished speaking softly, he sat down with an unusually calm expression.

"I agree with what Mr. Liu said, we need to establish a rule first, a rule that allows others to participate together, not a rule that only allows a small number of people to point east and west!" Di Zugong stood up loudly, A very different excitement appeared on his face.

"How about the rules? Let Mr. Zhong's legislative team work hard. But I want to give Mr. Zhong a personal opinion..." Mr. Liu paused, and his tone was a little low. "Maintaining the stability of the development policy is also the current A side that cannot be ignored, haste makes waste..."

Old man Zhong Jinshan stood up with a smile, looked at everyone present speechlessly, and nodded slightly.

……

In a processing workshop in the Brooklyn industrial area, a manual gear hobbing machine driven by a diesel motor and "self-upgraded" by parts is running. A middle-aged technician who seems to be nearly 40 years old is working on it with a serious expression. Parts, several young guys are watching carefully.

Since coming to this new world, You Renyi, as the only farmer technician among hundreds of people with the professional title of level 5 lathe worker, has undertaken almost all important production and processing work and related technician training.

"Master You, the community committee is now officially making relevant legal amendments. I am here to seek your opinion on behalf of the Ministry of Labor and Insurance." No matter how stubborn his temper was, Di Zugong had to maintain a humble attitude in front of such a senior technician.

You Renyi's real age is actually only 35 years old. This former township enterprise technician has become silent and closed after the catastrophe, and he seems to have aged a lot.You Renyi, who was one of the wharf expansion project workers on site at the time, lost his wife who also worked as a cleaner in a logistics company at the wharf in the catastrophe.

"Have you looked carefully? This is not a CNC machine tool, so it is very training, and you must grasp the speed and feeling of feeding..." You Renyi didn't even look at the new labor protection committee member, but just looked at the few people who followed him The peasant technicians were talking in low voices.

"Master You..." Di Zugong sat aside in embarrassment, trying to be as frank as possible, "This is an issue related to the rights and interests of all our workers."

"Di Gong, what laws do we rural people know?" You Renyi sighed, turned sideways, and finally showed a rare smile. Well done, you leaders should take care of everyone’s affairs as your own, and that’s fine.”

"Okay, I'll make a note..." Di Zugong suddenly felt that his eyes were sore, and there was always a liquid brewing.

Looking at the peasant technicians next to You Renyi, the young guys all squirmed their lips as if they wanted to say something, but they all turned their heads to the side and continued to watch You Renyi's operation.

Walking out of the workshop, Di Zugong suddenly felt his face heat up, and two lines of hot tears fell down involuntarily.

……

……

On the west bank of the Hudson River, in the Indian Trade Zone.

Today came another party of Bauhatan Indians from the far south-west, bringing with them large quantities of dried mushrooms and furs.After lingering among several commodities, the Bauhatan Indians chose a wooden-wheeled flatbed, several large sacks of dry corn, and fifty iron arrowheads.

After completing this deal that took advantage of all the advantages, there is nothing to do in today's trade zone.The young commissioner of the trading area walked towards the nearby Delaware Indian guards easily, and after whispering a few words, he walked towards the "boss" who came to inspect.

Li Xiang has been waiting here for almost half an hour. The serious work attitude of the young man in front of him has made Li Xiang think of transferring him to Europe more than once.But this colleague has been familiar with several Indian dialects in the past six months, which makes Li Xiang very reluctant.

"Hehe, Brother Li, I didn't bring my sister-in-law here today!" The young man regained his shy expression from the eloquent state of facing the Indians, and kept looking behind Li Xiang.

"No, she went for an obstetrical examination this morning, and she will take my father-in-law to the commercial street in the afternoon." Li Xiang smiled and threw a bottle of fruit wine, and then took him to the rest shed.

"Now the committee has set up a special legislative group, probably to prepare for the founding of the country... Do you have any ideas?" Li Xiang revealed the most confidential information to this subordinate and friend with a mysterious smile.

"Wow! Really! Hey, have you chosen the name of the country? What about the national flag? I have a good suggestion for the national anthem!" The young man's eyes were shining, and he was chanting a lot of things that Li Xiang didn't want.

"Preliminary legislative preparations must be made first, especially the election law!" Li Xiang brought back the young man's divergent thinking.

"Election? Of course the whole people participated, why should they be officials?" The young man seemed to be stung by something, and immediately shouted, his expression was also very excited, "Everything is strictly controlled, and there is a holiday. The door still needs to be reported, and the wages are still so low, what I earn back for them in one day is N times higher than the wages I paid!"

As he spoke, the young man opened his palms and compared an exaggerated number.

Apart from emotions and complaints, I don't have any thoughts... Looking quietly at his friend who is much younger than him, Li Xiang suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness.
