Chapter 386: Universal Suffrage

"It's a matter for the Land Bureau. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 "Why are they besieging the Federation?" ”

"Some people have reported it to the Federation, but the Federation has not been able to deal with it in a timely manner, so these people think that the Federation is not defending their interests."

"Hey, these Ming Dynasty people are getting stronger and stronger in their sense of rights protection." Xia Yang smiled, "Now you can march at every turn." ”

Lu Tianxiang waved his hand at Xia Yang: "Guannan, what does the Federation mean, have you asked Song Yingxing?" ”

"I just came from Song Yingxing." Liu Guannan said, "Mr. Chang Geng still wants us to give us ideas, but he also asked some questions. Now that Ye Sunquan and Ye Zhan have withdrawn from the presidium, the Federation is also preparing for the next re-election. It's just that there have been a lot of new populations in Yulin Bay in the past year, and there are not many representatives in Wanzhou, and these people have no spokesperson in the federation. ”

"That's not a problem." Wei Yang said, "Isn't it okay to add it when we re-elect, anyway, these representatives are all designated by us." ”

"Wei Yang, this is the biggest problem." Liu Guannan said with some seriousness, "Mr. Chang Gung specifically talked to me about this issue, precisely because the representatives of these sessions of the Federation were all appointed by us, and some people reported to him that the people of the Ming Dynasty were somewhat dissatisfied with this method, because we would not take care of all groups when appointing representatives." ”

"There's no way around it." Wei Yang smiled, "What else can I do, I can't have universal suffrage." ”

Wei Yang laughed half but suddenly stopped, and looked at Liu Guannan dumbfounded: "Guannan, you don't want to hold universal elections in Yulin Bay, right?" This, this is not reliable. ”

Liu Guannan also laughed: "Old Lu, everyone, I really have this idea. But I didn't tell Song Yingxing, so I came to Lu Lao first. ”

Lu Tianxiang didn't express his opinion, but asked: "Guannan, how many people are registered in Yulin Bay and Wanzhou now, and how many floating populations are there?" ”

Liu Guannan thought for a while: "There are more than 61,000 registered households in Yulin Bay, 32,000 leased land in Wanzhou, and about 10,000 floating people without household registration. ”

"What is the approximate percentage of occupations?" Lu Tianxiang asked again.

Liu Guannan thought for a while: "The army is thirteen; The agricultural population is almost 15,000; The industrial population is the majority, and our own military industry and private civilian industry have a total of 50,000; There were more than three thousand domestic attendants, that is, maids and servants, and the rest were the children of commerce and schools. There are still more men, accounting for 60% and 40% of women. ”

"What about education?"

"Mr. Lu, your "Compulsory Education Law" has been promoted, and Aunt He's Education Bureau has also opened a literacy class. At present, the literacy rate can reach almost 40%, and I can understand more than 50 words. ”

Lu Tianxiang didn't ask anything else, and unconsciously knocked his fingers on the table: "In the afternoon, the two committees will have a meeting with the directors and directors at home." Guannan, you go and invite Mr. Chang Geng and the presidium of the federation to also come, let's discuss it and then submit it to the general meeting, I think it can be elected by universal suffrage. ”

In the afternoon, the conference room of the committee was full of people, and the presidium of the federation was currently only five people because of the withdrawal of Ye Sunquan and Ye Zhan, and Ma Qiji was in Wanzhou, so only four people from the Ming Dynasty including Song Yingxing participated in this meeting. Fernandez withdrew in the last re-election and was replaced by Sister-in-law Wu.

"Mr. Chang Geng, everyone." Lu Tianxiang nodded at Song Yingxing, "We have some things to discuss about the Federation in this meeting, and I will first explain to you what the universal suffrage in our homeland means." ”

Song Yingxing bowed slightly: "Mr. Lu, please speak." ”

"Universal suffrage is a method of selection in our homeland, a method in which all people come together to decide who will be the leader. Let's put it this way, our Yulin Bay Federation is the leader. ”

"Master Lu, aren't the leaders of Yulin Bay you old men?" Sister-in-law Wu suddenly interjected and asked.

"Sister-in-law Wu, you listen to me explain slowly." Lu Tianxiang said with a smile, "The Federation is an organization composed of all the people in Yulin Bay, and it is also an organization that serves everyone in Yulin Bay. Now that he has some power to make some laws, the Federation is the leader of Yulin Bay. ”

Lu Tianxiang felt that there was really no way to explain this issue clearly, so he didn't explain more: "The so-called universal suffrage means that all the representatives of the Federation should be chosen by everyone in Yulin Bay. In the past, it was up to us to decide who could and who could not be deputies, but it will not be like this in the future, and it should be decided by everyone in Yulin Bay, and this is universal suffrage. ”

After Lu Tianxiang finished speaking, the four representatives look at me, I look at you, no one, including Song Yingxing, didn't understand what Lu Tianxiang meant.

"You can think about it." Xia Yang then explained, "How did you get your presidium status, and whether it was decided by the vote of all the delegates of the General Assembly. ”

Lin Chao understood a little: "Brother Xia, do you mean that in the future, all the representatives of the Federation will also be produced in this way?" Let everyone vote? ”

"yes, that's what it means." Xia Yang nodded.

"Mr. Lu, Brother Xia." Song Yingxing asked, "I boasted in the lower part, and I was the only one in Yulin Bay, but I didn't quite understand what the two of them were talking about in terms of universal suffrage, so can the people of the Ming Dynasty in Yulin Bay really understand." ”

"Mr. Chang Geng doesn't have to worry." Lu Tianxiang said with a smile, "There is a process for everything, from not understanding to understanding, didn't you also understand when you were just elected to the presidium." It's useless for us to just talk on paper, practice once, engage in a real universal suffrage, I think the people in Yulin Bay will soon understand. ”

Song Yingxing didn't say anything anymore when he heard Lu Tianxiang say this, and Lu Tianxiang explained: "Mr. Chang Geng, the method of universal suffrage is just one of our ideas now, and whether it can be implemented depends on the meaning of the General Assembly, I hope Mr. Chang Geng and you can understand." ”

"Mr. Lu is serious." Song Yingxing stood up and hugged his fist at Lu Tianxiang and the traversers present, "I basically understand what you mean, I will leave you first, please inform you of any results." ”

Song Yingxing left with a few members of the presidium, and the conference room immediately broke into a commotion.

"Xia Yang, how can you come up with this solution, isn't it okay to find trouble for yourself."

"That's right, Tianyang, let the people of the Ming Dynasty be elected by universal suffrage, how is this possible, do they know what universal suffrage is."

"What's wrong with universal suffrage. I think Lu Lao is right, how can you know the effect if you don't practice it once. ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to exercise the prerogative of the chairman." Lu Tianxiang and the others quieted down and said slowly, "We don't have to vote on this issue, the committee will submit it to the Crossing Conference, and the Crossing Conference will make a final decision." The meeting is now adjourned. ”

"The meeting is adjourned, the meeting is adjourned. If you have any questions, go to the crossing conference and say it, it's useless to make a noise here. Xia Yang knew that these people actually disagreed with Lu Tianxiang's decision, but no one dared to openly oppose Lu Lao, so he had to point the finger at himself.
