Chapter 49 District Councils and Legislative Councils
The three major areas of the port city are 18 districts, and the outlying island area covers the largest area and the least population in the 18 districts, although the economy is not very strong but it is not at the back, and it is mainly the economy brought by tourism.

The outlying islands area is made up of 12 major islands, and Tai A Chau is one of them, so regardless of the economy of Tai A Chau, in terms of status, the village chief of Tai A Chau, who can replace the entire Tai A Chau, is really at the top.
Although Lantau Island is the most economically strong in the outlying islands area, there are forty or fifty villages of all sizes, and Chen Ji can represent the entire Daya Island, and if they want to represent Lantau Island, they have to compete well.
Tung Chung City is the main economic zone on Lantau Island, and Tung Chung Town was established on the basis of the three villages of Tung Di Wan Village, Hoi Di Wan Village and Yat Tung Village, so the heads of these three villages are members of the Islands District Council of Tie Thai.
"Village Chief, do you know the difference between a District Council member and a Legislative Council member?"
The village chief is also half a political figure, and Chen Ji almost represents the interests of Dayazhou Village, and Zhang Mingzhe feels that he needs to help Chen Ji understand the basic things about politics in Hong Kong City.
Shaking his head, Chen Ji knew about the Legislative Council, because the three uncles mentioned it when they talked to Chen Ji's grandmother about "future", but Chen Ji did not know what it meant to be a member of the Legislative Council, and no one in the district council mentioned it.
"You should know that there are 18 district chiefs in Hong Kong City, and each of these 18 districts has a district council, although the district council members do not have much real power, but because their duty is to promote the environment and culture in the district, and organize community activities, they can bring a lot of prestige and popularity to the councillors, which is of great benefit to the election of legislators and the special capital. ”
"The Legislative Council is the real place of real power, the Legislative Council election scope functional constituencies and geographical constituencies, there are 5 geographical constituencies, namely Hong Kong Island, Kowloon East, Kowloon West, New Territories East, New Territories West, we have a total of 9 seats in the New Territories West, Kwai Wan, Tuen Mun, Yuen Long, Kwai Tsing, and outlying islands five districts compete for these 9 seats, and now the highest appeal of our Islands District in the New Territories West is the head of Yat Tung Village. ”
"Mr. Tam Jianghua is not only the head of Yat Tung Village and a district councilor, he is also a senior engineer who was once employed by the Hong Kong City Government, and many buildings in Hong Kong City still have traces of him. ”
The Legislative Council election is divided into functional constituencies and geographical constituencies, which include the District Councils and the engineering constituency, which means that even if the geographical constituency loses, he may be elected in the engineering constituency.
"Voters need to be registered, and there are 536 registered voters in Dayazhou, the village chief, someone will definitely contact you after a while. ”
Zhang Mingzhe remembers the ballot very clearly, because it was he who assisted several clan elders in the village to submit the voters of Dayazhou.
"You're saying they want to buy the votes we have?"
Chen Ji's straightforward words made Zhang Mingzhe choke directly, but it cannot be denied that Chen Ji is telling the truth, whether it is the district council election or the legislative council election over the years, this is the time that the villagers of Dayian Island are most looking forward to, because it can allow them to obtain the most direct benefits.
It is actually not appropriate to say that it is a purchase, to be precise, it is an exchange, and the other party will not take out direct cash, such as a few boats of grain, such as dozens of positions in a certain company, such as a good high school place.
After Zhang Mingzhe's explanation, Chen Ji suddenly understood that this matter finally fell on him, and Chen Ji, who didn't want to complain, hurriedly asked Zhang Mingzhe, what benefits did the old lady use in exchange for in previous years, and what do you propose to change this year?
This question is not asked by Chen Ji, because Zhang Mingzhe can't get an answer, or he doesn't want to say his own suggestion, if Chen Ji adopts it and the suggestion is wrong, how can he be worthy of Chen Ji?
Back at the hotel, Erhu had already gotten up, pulled Wen Yaorong and Erhu, who had finished washing, to pack up their things and check out and leave, it was already past six o'clock, just find a place to get something to eat, there are still a lot of things waiting for them in Dayazhou.
This is Zhang Mingzhe's territory, breakfast is naturally recommended by him, drove to Yidong Village, turned around and came to a very food stall style restaurant.
Casually pull the car to the side, this is not the kind of place in Sham Shui Wading and Central, the car leaning on the side of the road will not obstruct traffic, of course, if you are caught by the traffic police, you will also be towed away and fined.
"The beef tendon and beef offal noodles here are good, and I also have some friendship with the owner here. ”
In fact, Chen Ji is more familiar with such a place, after all, as an ordinary senior dog in the family, Chen Ji most often goes to this kind of street hot pot, mutton skewers, and he is really not used to the kind of place in the big hotel.
The small restaurant has only eight or nine long tables, and the area of the entire restaurant is estimated to be twenty or thirty square meters, and the first thing you see when you enter the door is the middle-aged boss who is wiping the table.
"Brother Xiong, morning!"
"Mingzhe, you're early, what are you going to eat?"
Sure enough, there is a friendship, and it can be seen that Zhang Mingzhe should be a frequent visitor here.
To briefly introduce it, the restaurant owner has the same eyes as others, it is very strange that Chen Ji has become the village chief of Dayazhou Village at such an age, and the most surprising thing to him is that Chen Ji is not the kind that does not deserve the name, because the attitude of both Zhang Mingzhe and Wen Yaorong shows that they really treat Chen Ji as the village chief.
"Brother Xiong turned out to be a martial arts star of TVB, but he broke his leg in an accident, so he opened this restaurant. ”
The previous words were for Wen Yaorong and Erhu, and the last mantis boxing and inheritance were for Chen Ji, Zhang Mingzhe knew that Chen Ji was practicing the Three Emperors Cannon Hammer, and they were all fellow practitioners, so he naturally wanted to introduce them.
Chen Ji glanced at the legs of "Brother Xiong", no wonder he felt a little strange when he walked just now, but he really practiced boxing? Why didn't he feel it at all? No wonder Chen Ji thought so, because whether it was Han Biao, Zhang Mingzhe, or Wen Xuewu, just one glance at Chen Ji could see that they were practicing boxing, but this ......
"What kind of martial arts star, just a small actor, and it was more than 20 years ago, and Village Chief Chen also practiced boxing?"
"Brother Xiong" waved his hand a little embarrassed, but he was very interested in Chen Ji, he didn't pay attention to it just now, and now as soon as Zhang Mingzhe said it, he glanced at Chen Ji, and it was really a little interesting.
Like soldiers, doing one thing for a long time will naturally form a habit, soldiers like this, policemen like this, teachers like this, and people who practice martial arts are the same, Chen Ji can't see that there are traces of martial arts on "Brother Xiong", because he has not used his fists and feet for many years, and the traces on Chen Ji's body are very light because his physique does not look like it.
The upper limbs of boxing are naturally different from ordinary people, and the lower limbs are also abnormally stable, and the lower limbs of the legs are naturally stable, not to mention, and there may even be some deformities. Only Chen Ji, if it weren't for some small movements between his feet, I believe that Chen Ji would not be able to see that Chen Ji was a person who practiced martial arts.
