At this time, Wei Hong turned around and explained to the three of them, after all, we are out of the city wall, this is a wilderness, and the locals generally do not come to such a place, unless they are in groups or have military protection.

Speaking of this, Wei Hong saw that Doctor Quan's face immediately showed a trace of nervousness, so he hurriedly comforted him and said, "It is not dangerous within a few kilometers of the south gate of Xin'an City now, although we don't often go out of the city gate, but not going out of the city gate is purely in line with the psychology that more things are better than less, and I don't want to mobilize the army to mobilize the guards.

Today you are old, of course, you have to mobilize the people, rest assured, this is the control area of the Loka tribe, and the natives you see along the way are all from the Loka tribe.

Doctor Quan's face immediately relaxed when he heard this, and asked Wei Hongdao:

"I heard that this Loka tribe is a die-hard supporter of yours?"

Of course, Wei Hong replied confidently, then pointed to the jungle in the distance, and came back in a big circle, adding:

Now the outside of Xin'an City is full of the Luoka tribe's sphere of influence, in fact, I didn't expect that now the tribe can grow to this extent, the Luoka tribe just dealt with us, the population was less than 200 people, but after cooperating with us, in the past two years, the population has exploded, and the tribe has developed rapidly in both economic and military strength.

Doctor Quan nodded and responded: Yes, after all, it is close to the water, I heard that the tribe labored to help Xiaohou work, earned enough silver, and quickly became rich, and the tribal leader also became an advisor to Xiao Pingguo's governor's palace?

Wei Hong smiled when he heard this: Hehe, not only is it an advisor, but now Daddy Loka is also a member of the Senate of Xin'ancheng, I heard that this is Brother Xiao's big deal - he has built a council, which is quite the prototype of a local council.

"Well, this is the same as Brother Li and Ren Ke of Zixia Island who are engaged in the land council, right?"

Zhou Rui interjected next to him.

At this time, Doctor Quan said to Wei Hong thoughtfully: Obviously, this matter involves the local management system of the Federation, and the Senate has not yet decided on this, so you will start it first, although it is a bit of a prelude to the meaning of cutting first, but everyone didn't say anything, and after Sun Lao returned to the Red Mansion, he also explained a few words to this council in the Senate, but he didn't go into too much detail, since I am here, I still want to hear what you think about this matter? Do you have a long-term plan?

After Wei Hong pondered for a moment, he looked at Doctor Quan and Zhou Ruiyue Chu with blazing eyes and said:

"For us, there are two basic facts that must be recognized.

In the past, Xin'an City was just a two-square-kilometer trading base with a total population of less than 2,000, so at that time, Brother Hou could be both a governor and a contractor, as for me, as long as I trained the garrison and maintained law and order.

However, this is no longer the case, and now there are more than 10,000 permanent residents in Sinanseong, and the daytime floating population is more than twice the resident population.

The increase in population has not only put tremendous pressure on our management, but now the demographic structure of Sinanseong has also changed dramatically.

Today, there are thousands of merchants from all over the world stationed in Sin'an, and during the port call of the Nicole, the number exceeded 3,000! There are people from almost every country we can name, from Europeans and Arabs to Indians, to the merchant fleets of indigenous tribes of the countries of the South Seas, and you have also noticed that there are many huge rowing boats docked at the mouth of the Xin'an River, and these ships were all from the indigenous kingdoms of the South Seas to do business here.

So we're a little bit overwhelmed, which means we have to decentralize and involve the local people, especially when it comes to city management. ”

Wei Hong paused when he said this, looked at Doctor Quan, who nodded with a serious expression and responded: "Also, although Zhuyuan Sunflower has sent you a few dispatchers and financial accounting personnel, it is obvious that it will not help you in municipal management......

"Therefore, Brother Xiao learned from Ren Ke and Lawyer Li that they did in Zixia Island, and set up a municipal council with the Loka tribe as the main body, including Dutch merchants and Portuguese businessmen, these councilors have no salary, only temporary subsidies when doing things, and now, these people are responsible for the business registration management, taxation and security of non-docks."

How well is it managed? Does it work well?

The results are mediocre, but we've really pulled out to a certain extent......

Wei Hong's answer made Dr. Quan a little worried, and he shook his head and said, if your grassroots governance wants to be clear and efficient, there should be some institutional constraints on these councilors.

Wei Hong said with a smile: Please rest assured that Xin'an City is so big, and the people of the city can smell what kind of food is fried in the canteen of the Governor's Mansion on weekdays, so there should be no problem in grassroots governance, because Brother Xiao has already announced that if the citizens have any opinions on all municipal management matters, they can directly complain in the hall on the first floor of the Governor's Palace......

Well, it seems that this is also the case, Xin'an City is not big after all, and it is relatively easy to manage. But I ask you this question for another reason, I don't know if you realize it......

What the?

I don't know......

What is Dr. Quan's opinion, we will listen to it......

At this time, Dr. Quan looked up at the sky, and found that it was still early, so he found a wooden box next to him and sat down, looked up at the three young people standing in front of him, and said:

Before I joined Nicole, I had a long conversation with Mr. Lee, and he asked me to go overseas to investigate an issue that he was very concerned about.

He said: This issue is very important and has a bearing on the long-term peace and stability of our Australian Federation.

Wei Hong smiled slightly when he heard it and said, Coincidentally, before leaving, Sun Lao also called Brother Xiao and Su Gaofei together to talk about an issue, and Sun Lao also said that this issue is related to the long-term peace and stability of our Australian Federation......

Hehe, I think, it should be the same topic, right?

At this time, Dr. Quan also responded with a smile.

At this time, Zhou Ruiyue Chu next to him immediately complained, Doctor Quan, Wei Hong, hurry up! Don't sell it!

Doctor Quan and Wei Hong glanced at each other, and slowly said four words together - "local autonomy"

"Holy! Listening to the name is very high! ”

Zhou Rui glared at everyone and responded.

"Where is there anything high? To put it bluntly, it is just delegating power to our overseas people. ”

Wei Hong replied immediately.

"In essence, of course, it is decentralization, but what Mr. Li means is not simply delegating power, but allowing citizens to participate in management, so as to strengthen the legitimacy and legitimacy of our policy promotion and improve administrative efficiency."

At this time, Dr. Quan pointed out the key point in one sentence.

"The point that Mr. Sun told me seems to be to give overseas localities the legislative power they deserve. Sun Lao even advocated that cross-domain governance is not necessarily a federal matter, and local governments can cooperate on an equal footing! ”

Wei Hong responded.

Obviously, Mr. Li's meaning is obvious - he wants to define the division of authority between the federal and local governments from the beginning, and does not want to be satisfied with the status quo and govern the country with some unwritten habits and rules, because the legal system is written into the "Red Chamber Convention", and we are still just a group, lacking national characteristics, which is manifested in the fact that there are no rigorous and detailed legal provisions to regulate our management behavior. But there is no letter of the law, or rather the letter of the law is broad and vague, like a pocket, into which anything can be put and nothing can be put into it......"

When Doctor Quan said this, he looked at his brother and smiled and said, Seeing your confused looks, I knew that it would definitely be like this, because I was repeating Li Junming's original words just now.

"Have you been discussing these things lately on the part of the Red Mansion?"

Wei Hong asked Doctor Quan sensitively.

"Yes, we don't know about other places, but after Sun Lao returned to the Red Mansion, he discussed many issues related to the state system with Lawyer Li, and I heard that we would use the Spring Festival as a occasion to jointly submit a report to the Senate, in addition to discussing the issue of overseas local autonomy, there is also a matter of officially announcing the establishment of the Australian Federation in the form of legal documents, and I heard that I also plan to reorganize the army, adjust the management organization, determine the national flag, national emblem and national anthem, and so on......"
