Shuttling back and forth in the lantern festival, the flow of people is like a long snake densely packed, even into a curtain, raising a curtain, so that Li Yang and his party in it can not move, can only passively follow the direction of the crowd to squirm.

Don't investigate the people's feelings, Li Yang even feels a little uncomfortable breathing, not to mention the few elite guards around him, while desperately supporting Li Yang to set up an activity space, and always pay attention to the surrounding trends for a hundred years, for fear that someone will be unfavorable to Li Yang.

With more and more newcomers relocated from Dayuan Island, there are fewer and fewer people who can contact and know Li Yang, and as Li Yang's status gets higher and higher, there are gradually more people who secretly want to be unfavorable to him.

This is not unfounded, in fact, as early as after Hongmen defeated Yuan Laoba in Huludao and seized the hegemony of the South China Sea, Li Yang had already begun to encounter all kinds of assassinations, with an average of nearly ten assassinations targeting him every year, and as Hongmen became more and more powerful, the number of assassinations he suffered every year also increased proportionally.

Fortunately, Li Yang has always taken his life very seriously, and he has seen too many film and television dramas in later history, so he has invested a lot in the guard.

Even with them, the middle and high-level officials of Hongmen will have more than one guard who closely follows them on the left and right, and unless they are in a home or military camp or other important place to determine the real safety, these guards will never leave the object of their protection more than ten meters away.

Now that Li Yang is walking openly and honestly on the crowded street, it is basically difficult for anyone to know that the middle-aged man in front of him, who does not look angry and arrogant, will actually be the real leader of the group where they live now.

"Please keep order and move forward, don't push!"

Every 100 zhang or so, there is a team jointly formed by the Public Security Bureau and the neighborhood committee, which maintains the order of the lantern festival and evacuates the crowded crowd.

Hongmen has always attached great importance to the investment in the grassroots of the people, and every student who graduated from Bengang School, as long as it is not other technical work, will basically have to practice and exercise in the neighborhood committee, the public security bureau, and other organizations that deal with ordinary people.

The laws used by Hongmen already have certain regulations, most of which follow the official laws of the Ming Dynasty, but many of them have their own characteristics.

The villagers' association, an authoritative organization for handling trivial matters in ancient times, has now been gradually replaced by the neighborhood committees as they gradually spread out on the streets.

Nowadays, the people of Dayuan Island, whenever there is a problem or contradiction that aggravates, the first thing they think of is to ask for the ruling of the neighborhood committee, and with the gradual improvement of the law on Dayuan Island, more Hongmen who tends to the principle of law over affection deals with the summer vacation, and the lord is gradually accepted by everyone.

Therefore, in the hearts of the grassroots people, Hongmen is gradually embraced by everyone, in addition to the fact that they have brought them a stable and peaceful life, it is also directly related to the neighborhood committee, an institution that can make decisions for the people.

Under the guidance of the neighborhood committee and the security team, the Lantern Festival, a rare prosperous era in Keelung Town, has not undergone any major changes and has been carried out in an orderly manner.

"Passing by, don't miss it, the old man Dong Erniu is the first few groups of immigrants in our Hongmen, and his ancestral home is Zhangquan, I believe that the residents of our Phoenix Street have dealt with the old man when you go to see it."

"Today, taking advantage of the opportunity of the Lantern Festival, the old man cheekily asks all the villagers to slow down and listen to the old man."

After this year's Lantern Festival, after our Hongmen government goes to work normally, our Keelung town government will issue a call to the residents of our Keelung town to vote for several major positions in our town government!"

"The old man Dong Erniu may not have anything else, he has been serving in the Phoenix Street Neighborhood Committee all these years, and he still knows a thing or two about what our villagers want most in their hearts, so this time the town government post selection, the old man also wants to take advantage of the fact that his body is still strong, and do a few more practical things for our villagers!!"

"The old man is not greedy for any power, after this Lantern Festival, the old man will be half a hundred years old and what else can he pursue, but we just want to mention what we have learned in the neighborhood committee over the years, what everyone wants most in the letter, to mention it to our admiral, and strive for more power for everyone."

“…………”

Li Yang watched it with relish at the bottom, which is also a major feature of Hongmen over the years, since a long time ago when Hongmen lacked talents, Hongmen selected talents from among the common people and placed them in some unimportant jobs to temper.

Those who have real materials will naturally be promoted quickly, and those who lack talent will show their prototypes in the accumulated work, or gradually disappear from the public, or have been working in these unimportant positions.

The government, as the actual administrative agency of Hongmen, contains a huge amount of work and cumbersomeness, so it is the most suitable place for Hongmen to place these talents.

Of course, Hongmen's way of promoting talents is also somewhat different from that of this era, and some of the posts that seem to have a low status but have a very high prestige among the people at the bottom of the street and village committees have gradually not been selected by Hongmen themselves, but let the members of a street or village choose their own leaders.

From the beginning, everyone was submissive and did not dare to hand over the ballot in their hands easily, but later everyone gradually understood the joint and the reason, but everyone gradually liked this election method with their own participation.

At first, most of the candidates for the election were authoritative figures and famous people in this street, but these directors elected by everyone did things in office, or followed the old way to reap benefits for their own families or really made decisions for the people and solved everyone's needs, because the wounds were elected by everyone themselves, so everyone also paid more attention.

It wasn't until later that Da Qian gradually discovered that the vote for his injury was really very important, not only related to who his future parents were, but also related to everyone's living situation in the next few years, and slowly everyone gradually became very concerned about every elector.
