Article 263 Declaration
The Great Elder came back from the western part of the Deccan Plateau, and she sat in the office of the thermal power plant, holding Li Mu's report in her hand, flipped through it casually, and then put it aside.
She picked up the glass and took a sip. After entering the Hindustani settlement, she fought several times with Ouroboros' Twenty-Eight Pillars. She had a great deal of proportion, showing them the strength of the Brotherhood of Liberty without killing any of the Twenty-Eight Pillar Serpents, and she had an undying feud with the Ouroboros.
It's just that after a series of battles, even if she is as strong as her, she feels a little tired.
"You're doing a good job, and I'm in agreement with all the decisions."
She yawned and said to Li Mu, who was sitting across from the desk.
Li Mu nodded, took out another outline of the meeting, and handed it to the Great Elder.
"Great Elder, I'm going to convene a meeting of most of the members of the Brotherhood of Freedom, and this is the outline of the meeting that I wrote with Li Mei."
After Li Mei wrote this outline, Li Mu carefully helped her revise and delete some of the main contents, and polished it.
When the Great Elder read this outline, his brows furrowed slightly, and he didn't turn it over as roughly as he did when he read the previous report.
At first, she was just going to flip through it, but when she saw half of it, her brow raised. After reading it carefully, she raised her head and looked at Li Mu.
"Are you planning to reform the organization of the Brotherhood of Liberty?"
"Yes, the former Brotherhood of Liberty was a loose association formed by a group of miners and peasants to fight against the original Nanyang Trading Company. The decisions made by the chairman can only be carried out smoothly by relying on personal charisma. When the president died, the entire Brotherhood was on the verge of falling apart. ”
The Great Elder's eyes narrowed, and although Li Mu's words were very unpleasant, they hit the nail on the head of the Freedom Brotherhood. The Brotherhood of Liberty is, in a sense, more like a powerful colony. The positions of the president and the village chief overlap very much.
After her father's death, the Brotherhood of Liberty never had a president. No one likes to have someone in their head who calls the shots. Even if she was the daughter of the first president, she was already a second-level strong strength, and under the obstruction of other elders, she could only barely become a great elder.
Even when she moved back to New Linfen, the environment in the wilderness of the extreme west was too extreme for all the members to bear, so she could carry it out.
The split in power caused the Brotherhood of Liberty to quickly weaken, from a major problem in the Governor's Mansion to a disease of scabies. Now, the other elders have long been in a state of semi-detachment.
"The interior of Larkin Bed is now far more complicated than that of the miners and peasants of the past, and the people who live in Larkin Bed are small craftsmen such as blacksmiths, gunsmiths, and coppersmiths; There are workers, such as those in thermal power plants; There are also small proprietors, such as tavern owners; The most numerous are the slaves who have lost their freedom in life, including serfs, prostitutes and dancers who have lost their freedom. Their interests are different, and their perception of us is also different.
Externally, there is the colonial force of the parliament in Zhongzhou, and the industrialists with a lot of wealth, with the Yama cult, rule the Ouroboros of the people of Hindustan. They are all great threats capable of subverting the existence of our Brotherhood.
Relying on the old method to manage Larkin Bed, there will be a big mess, and this mess is more serious than the previous split of the Brotherhood of Freedom, if one is not good, the whole Larkin Bayd will probably be bleeding. ”
Li Changfeng, who was standing on the side, suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Li Mu with some surprise. He didn't expect Li Mu to speak to the Great Elder so directly. After hesitating for a moment, he kept his mouth shut and did not interject.
There was a burst of applause in the office, and the Great Elder looked at Li Mu with appreciative eyes.
"Li Mu, you have far exceeded my expectations, when I was your age, I was just a little girl who didn't know anything, but blindly admired my father, thinking that the rules he set were perfect. By the time it came time to make a change, the Brotherhood of Freedom was already in a state of flux. ”
Li Mu breathed a sigh of relief slowly, before he said his thoughts, he was still under a lot of pressure. Fortunately, the Great Elder's support for him was far greater than he expected, and he did not get angry and object.
"Tell me what you think."
"It is very unrealistic to create a new system out of thin air, and even if it is forcibly built, it will expose a lot of problems. I suggest borrowing some of the ruling structure of the Central Prefecture of Zhuxia on the Deccan Plateau, and making some changes in the context of the current situation of Larkin Bayd and the Brotherhood of Freedom. After all, when designing the governorship system, Zhongzhou considered and weighed many aspects, and also drew on a lot of pre-war experience, which was a very complete colonial management system. ”
The Great Elder's brow furrowed, she had fought the Governor's Mansion for almost her entire life, and now she suddenly had to learn the Governor's System. But she didn't interrupt Li Mu, but let Li Mu continue.
"The Governor's Office consists of departments, ministries and offices under the Governor, namely, the Secretariat, the Department of Civil Affairs, the Department of Finance, the Department of Education, the Department of Construction, the Department of Taxation, the Ministry of Public Security, and the Office of Audit. The system was very mature and practiced in the colonies. It's just that under the erosion of those big industrialists, most of the departments have existed in name only. And, crucially, with the cooperation of these industrialists and marauders, the Doge's domination over the settlements scattered throughout the wilderness was almost nil, confined to the great cities. ”
The Great Elder's eyes narrowed as he asked the question.
"Our current talents alone can't support so many departments, and even if we do, then won't we become a new governor's palace, so what changes will be made to the people of the entire Deccan plateau?"
"The system is just a bottle, and the most important thing is our mind, our mind is to bring equality to the Deccan plateau. The governor-general system, on the other hand, is a tool for Zhongzhou to extract benefits from the Deccan Plateau. That's what sets us apart from them. ”
Li Mu said.
"Our thoughts?"
The Great Elder nodded and accepted Li Mu's statement.
"But our original thinking has not kept up with the development of the Brotherhood of Freedom, it is too simple, too vague to unite us with the majority of the people on the Deccan plateau."
Li Mu continued.
"I would like to put this on the agenda at the conference, so that everyone in the Brotherhood of Liberty can flesh it out, and it will become a programmatic document for our future actions." (To be continued.) )
