Chapter 152: Township Covenant Hall

"The living can't let their urine suffocate to death, and they can always come up with a solution. I invite everyone to come today, but I also hope to work together, I Li Xiao can put forward some opinions first, but it is only a brick throw, I hope everyone will discuss together and find a good solution together. ”

"San Lang, if you have any good ideas, just say it first, so that everyone can listen to it." The lieutenant governor in Shanghe was a little dissatisfied with Li Xiao's tirade, if you have the goods, you will come out, don't talk about it, what's the use of talking about this.

"Well, I won't delay you too much, but I'll start with a few points. First, I hope that all of you here today will be open and fair, and that if you are reasonable, you will first show a frank attitude. ”

Li Xiao had been thinking about it for a long time last night, how to fight drought and provide disaster relief, that was not a simple matter.

First things first? It is not a water truck or a well, but everyone should show an attitude, a cooperative and friendly attitude, not just block the water and build a dam upstream, and not give any water to the downstream, and the downstream people come to dig the dam to grab water, and directly destroy the dam and leave nothing upstream.

If we really want to do this, then everyone should not think about using water, but should spend their energy in these aspects, and how can we fight drought and provide disaster relief?

"First of all, I think that our fellow villagers in Lanxi Township should first make a convention on drought relief and organize a township meeting for drought relief and disaster relief. In this way, there are rules to follow, and there are also people who lead the organization, and there are people who do not go their own way and are chaotic. Do you think this first one is okay? ”

You can't treat headaches and feet when you do things, you have to have a big picture.

Li Xiao's first article was not a specific disaster relief method, but after saying it, everyone felt that it made sense.

If everyone can make a township contract and abide by it together, it can indeed avoid many contradictions. And if we can build a township covenant hall that everyone recognizes, and elect a group of famous township elders, etc., it will also be able to represent the interests of the people in each village in a fair and just manner.

"No comment."

The five lieutenant chiefs were the first to express their attitude, although they were very jealous of Li Xiao, and even wanted to see the young Li Xiao fall and make a joke, but in the face of natural disasters, they were still looking forward to Li Xiao being able to really help everyone solve the problem.

Now Li Xiaoti still agrees with this.

Li Xiao had the experience of building cooperatives, and many villagers present had joined the cooperatives, and they were very supportive of Li Xiao's appointment to build a township covenant.

The so-called township covenant is an agreement that the villagers jointly construct, and then abide by in Datong, which is used to bind everyone.

In Li Xiao's cooperative, there is also a social covenant, which is actually similar to the township covenant.

It's easy to make a township contract now.

Everyone agreed to make a township covenant, and then Li Xiao proposed to nominate people from the township covenant hall first.

"The Township Covenant Hall shall be based on the principle of equality and represent the interests of each village and clan, so when each village elects one or two representatives to be the representatives of the Township Covenant Hall, then in order to facilitate the deliberations, several directors shall be elected among the representatives to take the lead. What do you think? ”

The snake can't be headless, although Li Xiao is willing to come forward, he must also have a recognized name, otherwise the name will not be right.

The Township Covenant Hall is a place where such representatives deliberate, and the election of representatives and directors is also needed.

It is impossible to discuss a matter every time, and thousands of villagers send a representative, which is inefficient.

Li Zheng in the lower river proposed, "I agree, I propose to elect San Lang as the chairman of our Lanxi Township Covenant Hall." ”

Since there is a director, there must be a chairman, and since the township covenant hall proposed for Li Xiao, everyone also thinks that it is very suitable for Li Xiao to be the head of the director, and others do not have this reputation.

Li Xiao's appointment as chairman of the board of directors was unanimously agreed by everyone, and no one objected.

Li Xiao excused himself a few times, and then asked everyone to raise their hands to vote, and those who agreed to raise their hands.

As a result, all the villagers raised their hands, and there was nothing more suitable than Li Xiao.

Li Xiao was successfully elected as the chairman of the board.

The next step is to elect the directors, there is no suspense, the five Li Zheng were also elected as directors, and then several more famous and elderly people were elected as directors, a total of thirteen directors.

The director must be famous, and he should not be too many, otherwise he will not be effective.

In the end, the deputies were elected, and Li Xiao named the deputies as parliamentarians. There are at least two in a village, and some large clans can also get the qualification of a councilor, which is also done so that all the villagers can have their own trusted people to speak in the township covenant hall, otherwise, the township covenant hall will have no justice to speak of, let alone convince the public

In the end, a total of 49 township councillors were elected, representing dozens of villages and more than 1,000 villagers in five miles of Lanxi Township.

"The foundation of the township covenant should be that everyone negotiates and discusses together, and the minority obeys the majority." Li Xiao also put forward the principle of making a township contract.

The establishment of a township covenant hall, and then the election of councilors and councilors, is actually to make a township covenant that everyone accepts as soon as possible, so that everyone does not discuss together, and there are many people, and thousands of mouths can be noisy to death, which is inefficient. Although there are currently few elected members and councillors, they are able to represent everyone, which is already a fair and efficient way.

But even if there are fewer councillors and councillors, there are still more than 60 people, how to make a decision?

The minority obeys the majority, which is not absolutely fair, but it is already a relatively fair way.

"Yes."

This article has been recognized by everyone.

After electing the councillors and councilors, Li Xiao also asked people to bring tables and chairs immediately, and on the threshing floor, a large round table was set up around the table, which was regarded as a township hall.

As the chairman of the board, Li Xiao put forward the opinions of the first township covenant hall after the establishment.

All villages in the township can build a dam in Lanxi, but they must not completely intercept the flow, only a small part of it, and must leave enough water flow downstream.

Specific criteria can be discussed by everyone, such as how high and high the dam can only be built, and how much water can flow down.

After all, the drought is so serious now, but I am afraid that under everyone's panic, the upstream will directly block all the water and keep it for their own use, which makes the downstream completely useless.

Distribute the water in the streams reasonably, block a little in each village, and store a little water in each village, so that all villages can have water, even if there is little water, there will not be one village without one village.

As the saying goes, if everyone has less water, then there is no contradiction, if you have me and I don't, this is to play out the brain.

"Another point, according to the current situation, combined with the experience of such a drought in previous years, I think this year our township must reduce production, take the initiative to reduce the planting area, there is too little water, it is too difficult to keep it all. It is better to take the initiative to plant less and make every effort to protect a small part of the grain field, which can not only reduce water consumption, but also ensure that water can be poured into the ground. ”

Under the cultivation method of harvesting thin seeds, there is no rain, and it is very scary to rely on people to water, this is a very terrifying thing, a family of dozens of acres and hundreds of acres of land, the waterwheel can not be lifted, the well is dry, rely on picking water from the blue stream to water the ground, how much can be picked in a day?

Every piece of land wants to be saved, but the result may be that nothing is taken care of, and in the end there is no harvest. It is better to take the initiative and give up part of the land first, which not only reduces the water consumption, but also ensures that the remaining part of the field can be watered with enough labor and water.

This method is a bit ruthless, and it can be described as a strong man's broken wrist.

It's like a fire, and when it matters most, you have to knock down one or two houses near the burning house, and although this house falls, it can save more houses from being burned.

Voluntary abandonment, this is the first time many people have heard of it.

It's also a difficult choice, no one is sure how far the drought will go, and all they want is to work hard to save it, maybe they can wait for the rain, maybe all the crops in the field can be saved.

There was silence off the field.

Everyone is thinking about it, and it's a little difficult to choose.

Li Xiao knocked on the table, "I ask the council members and the representatives of the councilors to discuss these two proposals together, and if the villagers below have different opinions, they can also raise their hands to put forward them." ”

Director Liu, the governor of the lower river, stood up and spoke first, "I think the first one proposed by San Lang is very good, everyone divides the water fairly, and cannot monopolize it, otherwise everyone will not be able to use the water in the end." Once the weir is destroyed, it wastes precious water, the blue stream cannot be stopped, the stream cannot be broken, everyone has to use water, even if it is used less, you can't have me. ”

The other members of the Board agreed.

"I also agree with Saburo's proposal, but I want to add one, how to ensure that everyone can do it? I think we should consider this, and it is best to organize a township group to patrol Blue Creek to prevent some villages from secretly blocking more water and monopolizing water, which will undermine fairness. Another member of the Board of Directors offered his own opinion.

The Township Covenant Regiment is naturally the militia group that maintains the Township Covenant, similar to the village guards who patrol the village wall and gate in the village, and take turns on duty.

Li Xiao is very supportive of this proposal.

No matter how good the township covenant is, if there is no one to supervise it, it will definitely be able to be truly implemented.

With a councilor who presides over the township covenant, there must be a patrol.

"The township group can be rotated by the villagers on duty, with a shift of 100 people, divided into two shifts a day and night, and patrolling in sections. If there is a violation of the township covenant, you can immediately stop it, and if you dare to resist, you can arrest people to the township covenant hall to be tried by everyone, and those who violate the contract can be fined money, or punished with village labor, what do you think? ”

"Yes."

"Yes."

There are more than 1,000 households in Lanxi Township, and there are only 100 people in a township group, two shifts a day, and only 200 people, if they take turns on duty, they will only be on duty for five or six days, and there will not be too much delay in production, and if they can maintain the township contract and ensure that water is used to fight drought, it is still worth it.

Now everyone is still a little undecided, or the second article just proposed by Li Xiao, taking the initiative to reduce production.

Should we take the initiative to reduce production, and if so, by how much? Is it the right decision to cut production, and will you regret it in the future?

It's hard for everyone to decide.
