At this time, Ren Ke's concubine and the two little girls were already curiously scurrying around the room.

In the eyes of the girls, a bed and a chair here are different, and for a while the girls exclaimed-Is this object the electric fan that scared the red mandarin ducks in the first place?

The other also shouted, this big glass mirror, I'm afraid it's rare in the world! Even in the Forbidden City, there is no one......

Wow! How is this bed so soft......

Seeing the concubines walking around the room very happily, and then looking at Yang Qiaoqiao leaning on his shoulder with a happy face, Ren Ke finally put his mind at ease, he smiled and said to the girls, if you like it, we will repair the Governor's Mansion in the future, these homes have, oh yes, now the husband is going to take you to the bathroom now, there is an electric water heater where you can take a bath, or a shower, the hot water is enough for a few people to take a bath together, and the husband will teach you how to use it at night......

Soon after Ren Ke took his wife and concubines to visit the house, Li Junming rushed from the residential area in the upper reaches of the Heishui River to the wharf of Zixia Town, and then called Ren Ke in a hurry and threw himself into the intense work again.

The first is the staffing and work arrangement of the quarantine registration camp, which is ready to welcome a large number of migrants to disembark.

Then Ren Ke led the soldiers of the garrison, three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry to maintain order throughout the whole process, and then Wei Dongli and Li Dewei took the immigrants to start the quarantine registration in batches---- more than 6,000 men, women and children, divided into men and women lined up and entered the camp, except that there was no compulsory haircut and bathing, the other quarantine registration procedures were almost exactly the same as the naturalization camp in Xin'an City.

Many migrants got off the boat and climbed on the dock and retched for a long time, after all, the boat was tiring and seasickness obviously accounted for a considerable proportion of the crowd, but the immigrants who had gone through the ordeal finally arrived at their destination.

Especially when the Nicole sailed into Zixia Bay, people stood on the deck of the Nicole and saw it clearly: this place is very good, the terrain is flat and open, the sun is shining, the wind is beautiful, the eyes are full of lush greenery and the fragrance of birds and flowers, the experienced Han people are immediately moved by the fertility and warm climate of this land, gradually, people begin to become excited, and their spirits have recovered a lot.

Because this is the third batch of immigrants, the conditions faced by the new immigrants are much better than the previous two batches, and now both in terms of material preparation and disembarkation order have made great progress compared with the previous two batches, with less hectic and more orderly order.

Therefore, the third group of migrants only took two days from disembarkation, registration in quarantine camps, and then entering settlements.

Settlements for new immigrants have long been demarcated and prepared for reception, with large public canteens — well, porridge shacks, and temporary housing buildings — in fact, shacks.

After the immigrants were placed in the shacks that had been built in advance, various constructions began immediately, and the group of people had been divided into ten "administrative villages" on the Nicole, each of which had a village chief and a village organization called the "Land Council".

After Li Junming became governor, he also formulated something called the "Township Covenant" for the village, which is somewhat similar to the old world "code" and the "residents' convention", but according to Lawyer Li, it is a kind of rudimentary "Civil Code".

Although Ren Ke and others, including Zhu Beiguo and his partners in the Red Mansion, think that Barrister Li has elevated this legal document called "Township Covenant", but everyone has to admit that lawyers are lawyers, doing crowd management and social governance, and lawyers are better than people majoring in science and engineering.

Later, because of the outstanding effect, Li Junming's township covenant was also popularized to Wanshan Island and Xin'an City, and finally the entire federation, of course, this is a later story.

At that time, since this "township covenant" was engraved on a wooden board and erected at the door of each administrative village council house, the order in the village was indeed much better, and at the same time, the village chief and the land appraisal committee members behaved much more standardly, because this "township covenant" was not only a "code", but also a "recall" clause for the committee members and the village head.

So the villagers from the eight generations of their ancestors to the present, for the first time in their lives, began to exercise the right to "elect" with a face ** or a confused face.

In order to seize the time, Li Junming sent a telegram as early as the third batch of immigrants on the Nicole, suggesting that the administrative village division and the election of the village chief and the members of the land council should be held immediately on the Nicole.

Gu Jin immediately accepted Li Junming's suggestion and assigned the incoming brothers Wei Dongli and Li Dewei to take charge of the incoming brothers, who had already started registering the demographic data on the Nicole.

For this group of newcomers, the election of the village chief and the "administrative village land councilor" on board the Nicole was impressive, and these elected village chiefs and "land councilors" were overwhelmingly squires and people with a little bit of culture, no poor people, and no women.

Although the Australians tell these immigrants---- you can choose a woman, and you don't have to worry about personal property, just look at ability and character.

However, the immigrants finally chose the squire and cultural people to be their village chiefs and land assessors, in the face of Wei Dongli and Li Dewei's surprise, the answers given by the immigrants were simple and simple to the outrageous---- most immigrants said that they could not believe that those poor people who did not even have a good life in their own homes could lead everyone to live a good life, and if they wanted to gain everyone's trust, then they first proved that they were capable---- and let their wives and children live a good life is a proof, as for character, That's even simpler---- cultural people are gentle and elegant, and they have a bottom line, no more shameless than gangsters, and these simple judgments are enough.

Another thing that made Wei and Li sigh was that not only did no woman be elected in the final election result, but the women even consciously did not participate in this kind of thing - outside the male protagonist and inside the female protagonist, it is the thousand-year-old "tradition" of the Han people, well, or "cage" is more accurate.

After the election results were transmitted back to the Red Mansion, it did make many travelers---- especially the ladies of the Red Mansion feel very helpless, but no one thinks that this result should be interfered with, and no one advocates the abolition of these political powers given to people, just like Li Junming once said---- people's ideas are not immutable, and now in the first batch of immigrants on the island, there are already female land councilors, of course, it is said that it was the result of Ren Ke's strong promotion at the beginning.

Then Governor Li Junming wrote a very famous sentence for this purpose, which was originally recorded by Li Junming in the work records of the Governor's Palace, when he had just supervised the process of re-election of the head of an administrative village and a supplementary election of the members of the Land Council, although the election made the governor unwilling - several very capable women failed to run for the election, and even their husbands and in-laws voted against it, but Li Junming did not interfere as Ren Ke did at the beginning.

Li Junming believed that after all, no one was coerced in that election, and it was conducted openly and in accordance with procedures, and that night, Li Junming returned to the single room of the container castle and made a simple summary, which was later recorded in "Zhu Beiguo's Diary":

“…… Obviously, we cannot deny the people political power under the pretext of the low quality of the people, because there is no reason in the world to say that there is no need to protect one's own rights and interests if the quality of the people is low, and having political power is a necessary condition for safeguarding one's own rights and interests......

There is a theory with ulterior motives that people can give up their natural human rights in exchange for other rights, such as security or the right to life, however, the past history of human society has proved ----that human beings, as a living and spiritual individual, if they do not have individual political rights, then they cannot talk about having any other rights, even if they are nominally, they are only on paper, to sum up: to lose political rights is to lose everything, including food and clothing, the right to life, security and property, not to mention the dignity of human beings……

Therefore, if we want to build a prosperous and strong country, a harmonious society, we must give the people broad political power to protect the freedom and equality of each individual, in short: a country composed of a group of free people is a truly free country, and freedom is the root of the vitality and strength of a country and a nation......

At this moment, in Zixia Island, when people are electing and electing members of the Land Council, most of the Han people present do not know, or even realize at all—what they and the political power they have now gain means to them and their descendants, but we know very well in our hearts what it means---- history will prove that we must do the right thing and take the right path in order to finally reach the other side of the light......

Li Junming's words were written out of thin air, and soon after, they were sent to the Red Chamber in the form of a telegram, apparently with a meaning......
