Wednesday, June 16, 1621.

It's been nine months since last year's Crossing Tribulation. Nearly 500 Manhattan residents aged from 1 to 69 years old have changed a lot from panic to unbelievable at first, and then from helplessness to the beginning of people's hearts.

The second phase of the urban expansion project of the Manhattan community has been officially completed, with more than 200 skilled Indian workers in the urban construction engineering team to more than double the area of the entire community, most of the houses have been rebuilt by more scientific design, the further improvement of the urban water supply and drainage system has been put into operation, and the improved steam pump that has been tested and verified to be available has contributed to this aspect, for which the steam unit design and production personnel of the Ministry of Industry have been heavily rewarded from top to bottom.

The highest building of the whole community is just a three-story mixed timber committee building, and the residential buildings are unified into several styles of villas, surrounded by green trees and divided into neat sections.

What was once densely packed with temporary wooden houses was bulldozed and converted into a commercial district, and the central area containing a small pond was expanded into a community square. The living environment has been greatly improved, and the Manhattan community, with a permanent population of less than 500, has taken on the appearance of a modern garden town.

The third phase of the urban expansion project has been completed on paper, and according to the plan, the urban construction engineering team led by Dong Jiunan will spend half a year to continue to expand several blocks to the west and south of the Brooklyn industrial area, and build a large number of single-apartment residential areas to prepare for future resettlement.

In the southeast of the industrial zone, the Delaware Indian hired workers, consciously or unconsciously, spontaneously formed a new residential area, with relatively cheap bricks and almost no cost of logs and earth, and built dwellings that resembled dormitory shacks in the industrial zone.

Compared with the development and expansion in full swing, a more conservative and cautious meeting is taking place in the community council building at this time.

At the initiative of Liu Lao, chairman of the committee, and Qi Jianjun, vice chairman, the Manhattan Community Council was the first since the disaster to be openly co-opted, and the previous additions were all in the form of appointments under the centralized administrative system.

According to the co-optation plan, the number of members of the entire community council will be increased from the current 18 to 24. The additional six places will be conducted by the whole community of residents over the age of 18.

The issue of the predominance of the military and security services on the Committee, which had been secretly negotiated, has been settled in a strange atmosphere of silence. However, such an open co-optation activity has made some members have other ideas in their hearts.

The purpose of co-opting members is to dilute certain elements that are too strong, and it is a tacit common speculation by everyone. At present, among the 18 members of the committee, there are as many as 8 members related to military security, but Zheng Quan, member of the Military Security Commission, and others have not expressed any dissatisfaction with such rumors and speculations.

Zhong Jinshan, a former old professor of law, was elected as a judicial member by the young scholars; Di Zugong, who works as a quality and safety management engineer in the Brooklyn Industrial Zone, received the votes of many technicians and became the "Labor and Safety Commissioner", or Labor Insurance Commissioner. The Indian Trade Commissioner was abolished, and Li Xiang, who had been in an awkward position on the committee, officially became the "Commissioner for Immigration and Religious Affairs", or Minzong Commissioner for short......

As a result, the military faction, which used to account for nearly 50 percent of the votes in the democratic centralism of the community councils, has now been reduced to 30 percent.

"Today is the first meeting of the Community Council after the co-optation, and it is also the most important meeting so far. Everyone is a manager who has worked hard for the whole community for nine months, and it is up to them to take on the responsibility of further development of the whole community in the next few months! ”

Liu Lao took the text in his hand with a lukewarm expression, and looked around at the circle of men, women and children in the conference room, his voice was loud and calm.

"In the next three months, a 'legislative group' will be set up under the leadership of Mr. Chung, with an initial set of eight members, including five committee members and three community residents, who will be responsible for rebuilding a set of judicial institutions and relevant legal provisions suitable for the current development of the community. The law will be enacted in the light of the mature content of previous countries and will incorporate the views of the population on a larger scale. ”

"Aren't we using the old laws now?" Zhang Chunrui, commander-in-chief of the Inner Bay Fortress of the Maritime Garrison, showed a puzzled expression.

"Lao Zhang, the previous legal provisions were complicated, and many of the contents were drafted in consideration of the special national conditions at that time, of course, the content must be very complete......" Qi Jianjun took a sip of tea and looked at the commander-in-chief of the fortress opposite with a smile, "Therefore, it is necessary to make appropriate corrections according to the actual situation of the current community." ”

"Including this co-optation of members is also considered an amendment?"

Chen Liwen, the commander-in-chief of the land garrison, suddenly muttered coldly, and the men and women around him cast a strange gaze.

"It's not an amendment, it's a real rule that the whole community will abide by in the future." Liu Lao glanced at Zhong Jinshan, who was speechless in the corner, and stood up.

"Now is not the past, we can shirk, avoid or even perfunctory many things, the success or failure of things is the final word of the leader, we are accustomed to the attitude and method of 'family business has little impact', now we have to shoulder a heavy burden more than ever, and the future of nearly 500 people is all in our thoughts. In the past, it was a big question how many public opinions the leaders could listen to, but now, don't we have time to listen to the hearts of our 500 brothers and sisters? ”

Liu Lao's words were like a heavy hammer pressing on everyone's hearts, and even Zheng Quan couldn't help but nod slightly.

"The rule is that we try to respect the opinions of the Dà family. In other words, the members of the committee are in high positions, and we can't just have the final say, we need to be recognized by everyone. Even if we need to maintain a more efficient and stable management organization during this special period, we must let everyone understand that we are not dictatorship! ”

An even more ruthless word was spit out by Liu Lao, and the words that many people didn't dare to think about and say were spread out on the table like this, and the Chinese character who was used to being subtle and roundabout couldn't adapt for a while.

"For what? Just because some people say that we point fingers all the time? Aren't we doing it for everyone's sake? Chen Liwen blushed, not vomiting or unhappy.

"For the sake of nationhood, the creation of a new nation that truly belongs to our new world. To leave a country that is closer to what it once was ideal for future generations. ”

After Liu Lao finished speaking softly, he sat down, his face was unusually calm.

"I agree with Liu Lao's words, we must first establish a rule, a rule that allows others to participate together, rather than a rule that only allows a small number of people to point to the east and west!" Di Zugong stood up with a loud voice, and a completely different kind of excitement appeared on his face.

"What kind of rules and regulations, let Zhong Lao's legislative team work hard. But I would like to give Zhong Lao a personal opinion......" Liu Lao paused, and his tone was a little low, "Maintaining the stability of the development policy is also a side that cannot be ignored at present, and it is not ...... to be fast."

The old man Zhong Jinshan stood up with a smile, looked at everyone present wordlessly, and nodded slightly.

In a machining shop in Brooklyn's industrial area, a hand-hobbing machine powered by a diesel motor and "self-upgrading" with parts is running, and a middle-aged mechanic who looks nearly 40 years old is working on parts with a serious expression, and several young men are watching carefully.

Since coming to this new world, as the only farmer technician with a level 5 lathe technical level title among hundreds of people, You Renyi has undertaken almost all important production and processing and related technician training.

"Master You, the community committee is now starting to formally amend the relevant laws, and I am here to solicit your opinions on behalf of the Ministry of Labor and Social Security." No matter how stubborn Di Zugong was, he had to maintain a humble attitude in front of such a senior technician.

You Renyi's real age is actually only 35 years old, and this former township enterprise technician has become silent and closed after the catastrophe, and he seems to be much older. As one of the wharf expansion workers at the site at that time, You Renyi lost his wife, who was also working as a cleaner at a logistics company at the wharf, in the catastrophe.

"Have you read carefully? This is not a CNC machine tool, so it is very exercised, and you must grasp the speed and feeling of feeding......" You Renyi didn't even look at the new labor insurance commissioner, but just whispered to a few peasant technicians around him.

"Master You......" Di Zugong sat aside a little awkwardly, making his tone as frank as possible, "This is an issue related to the rights and interests of all our workers. ”

"Di Gong, what kind of law do we rural people know?" You Renyi sighed, turned sideways, and finally showed a rare smile, "It's not easy for these hundreds of people to survive...... As long as you don't toss, everyone lives well, and you are the leaders who take everyone's affairs as your own affairs. ”

"Okay, I've made a note of ......" Di Zugong suddenly felt that his eyes were sour, and there was always a liquid brewing.

Looking at the few peasant mechanics beside You Renyi, several young men squirmed their lips as if they wanted to say something, but they finally turned their heads sideways and continued to look at You Renyi's operation.

Walking out of the workshop, Di Zugong suddenly felt a heat on his face, and two lines of tears fell involuntarily.

……

……

West Bank of the Hudson River, within the Indian Trade Zone.

Today another group of Bahatan Indians from the far southwest came, bringing with them a large number of dried mushrooms and furs. After wandering among several goods, the Bahatan Indians opted for a flatbed cart on wooden wheels, several large bags of dried corn, and fifty iron arrowheads.

With this bargain in place, there is nothing to do in today's trade zone. The young commissioner of the trading area easily walked to the nearby Delaware Indian guard, whispered a few words, and then walked towards the "boss" who had come to inspect.

Li Xiang had been waiting here for almost half an hour, and the serious work attitude of the young man in front of him had made Li Xiang have the idea of transferring him to Europe more than once. But this colleague has been familiar with several Indian languages in the past six months, which makes Li Xiang very reluctant.

"Hehe, Brother Li, I didn't bring my sister-in-law today!" The young man regained his shy expression from the state of being able to speak well in the face of the Indians, and he kept looking behind Li Xiang.

"No, she went for an obstetric check-up this morning, and she will take my father-in-law to the shopping street in the afternoon." Li Xiang smiled and threw a bottle of fruit wine, and then took the other party to the rest shed.

"Now the committee has set up a special legislative group, presumably in preparation for the founding of the country...... Do you have any ideas? With a mysterious smile, Li Xiang revealed the most confidential information to this subordinate and friend.

"Wow! It's true! Hey, have you chosen a name for the country? What about the flag? I have a good building of the national anthem! The little young man's eyes lit up, and his mouth was muttering a lot of things that Li Xiang didn't want.

"We must first carry out preliminary legislative preparations, especially the election law!" Li Xiang pulled the young man's divergent thinking back.

"Elections? Of course, the whole people participated, so why should a few of them be officials? As if he had been stung by something, the young man immediately shouted, his expression was also very excited, "I have to manage everything to death, I have to report when I go out on vacation, and the salary is so low, what I earn back for them in a day is N times higher than the salary paid!" ”

As he spoke, the young man opened his palm and compared an exaggerated number.

Except for love and whining, I don't have any ideas...... Quietly looking at his friend who was much younger than himself, Li Xiang suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness.
