Chapter 39 Colonization Act
Under Ke Rin's reprimand, everyone in the Iron Rider Gang obediently closed their mouths, and no one dared to say anything more.
Ke Rin snorted angrily and said, "I haven't finished my sentence yet, what are you yelling about!" When did the Iron Riders become so unruly? ”
Everyone didn't dare to answer, so they had to keep squeezing their eyes and mouthing at Liu Yi and Shangguan Qi, suggesting that the two persuade Ke Rin.
Seeing this, Liu Yi secretly smiled bitterly, but he couldn't pretend not to see it, so he had to speak: "Ke Rin dissipated his anger, why bother to be so angry, if you have something to say, say it slowly." ”
With Liu Yi's persuasion, Ke Rin also stepped down and said, "I won't worry about you for the time being, if there are still no rules like this in the future, don't blame me for serving the rules." ”
Everyone hurriedly agreed: "Yes, yes, we will pay attention to it in the future......"
"I still have a few points to say about the disbandment of the gang, first of all, even if the gang is disbanded, I will never let everyone have no livelihood, everyone can rest assured that this is ......" Ke Rin told everyone a few points that Liu Yi had told him before.
After hearing this, everyone in the Iron Cavalry Gang nodded again and again, with these assurances, even if the gang disbanded, their lives would not be left unsettled, and they could also give an account to the people below.
"If it follows like this, I don't have any opinion, anyway, everyone should do what they should do, but they can't collect protection money in the future." Said a small leader of a gang with an older grade.
"That's right, as long as everyone's lives are not affected, it shouldn't be too difficult to convince the people below." Another chimed in.
Affirmed by everyone, Ke Rin continued: "In fact, the protection fee is just a small amount of money, and with the support of these large enterprises in the future, the money earned is not known to be many times more than the protection fee, and there is no need to engage in smuggling or anything for the time being, first give me the militia organization well, I guarantee that everyone's income will definitely be higher than before!" ”
When everyone heard this, there was no objection, and the matter was settled.
Liu Yi didn't expect Ke Rin to change his mind so quickly, and he was willing to disband the Iron Cavalry Gang, which greatly surprised Liu Yi's expectations.
Liu Yixin said: "Ke Rin is really a person with a long-term vision, and he will definitely be able to achieve a career with him in the future......"
After talking about disbanding the gang, Liu Yi began to talk about the registration of militia organizations, according to the laws of the empire, all civil organizations need to be registered and recorded, and obtain the appropriate licenses, so that they will not be banned as illegal organizations.
The Iron Riders were not good at this, so Liu Yi had to deal with it himself.
Some people in the Iron Cavalry Gang don't think this matter is very important, and some people say: "Registration and filing or something, it's all bluffing!" We are not the only gang in Yaqiu City, and I don't think anyone in the other gangs has been banned. ”
"You can't say that." Liu Yi explained: "Although not doing these things will not affect anything for the time being, if we want to develop in the long run, it is better to do these things well so as not to cause trouble in the future."
What's more, registration and filing are also beneficial, in case we develop into the aerospace field in the future, the organization that has been registered and filed can have the aerospace organization code, and when it encounters danger, it can only ask others for help, otherwise it will be regarded as a space pirate, and anyone can be eliminated. ”
"It turns out that registration and filing still have this effect, but I really didn't know it before."
"In fact, this set of management methods is also because of the needs of space navigation and colonization, otherwise in such a large universe, no one knows each other's situation, and even if they want to help each other, they will have great scruples." Liu Yi said with a smile.
"So that's the case, I didn't expect there to be so many famous halls." Everyone nodded again and again, and they all admired Liu Yi's knowledge very much.
Suddenly, Liu Yi seemed to have something wrong, and the whole person stared at the cup on the table motionlessly, like a sculpture.
Everyone felt a little strange and hurriedly said, "Mr. Liu, Mr. Liu...... What happened to you? Where is it uncomfortable? ”
Liu Yi came back to his senses, waved his hand and said, "No...... It's okay...... I...... I'm in a bit of a hurry, so let's talk about it first. After saying that, Liu Yi didn't care about the reactions of others, stood up and rushed out of the house.
Everyone was confused by Liu Yi's abnormal behavior, looked at each other, and asked, "What's wrong with him?" ”
Ke Rin and Shangguan Qi also felt a little strange, and Liu Yi suddenly seemed to be stunned, not knowing what he was thinking.
Ke Rin said to Shangguan Qi: "Shangguan, go and see if something is wrong." ”
Shangguan Qi nodded and said, "Okay, I'll take a look." After saying that, Shangguanqi also walked out of the house.
Shangguanqi came to the house and disappeared Liu Yi, so he had to ask the people standing guard outside: "Where is Liu Yi?" Where did it go? ”
The man standing guard pointed to the end of the corridor and said, "Mr. Liu went over there, he should have gone upstairs." ”
Shangguan Qi immediately understood that Liu Yi should have gone to his room. At the headquarters of the Iron Cavalry, Liu Yi and Shangguanqi had separate rooms for them to rest, because they often worked here until midnight, so Ke Rin specially prepared a room for each of them.
Coming to the door of Liu Yi's room, Shangguan Qi knocked on the door, and Liu Yi's voice came from inside: "Please come in." ”
Shangguanqi pushed the door in, only to see Liu Yi concentrating on what he was looking at in front of the holographic projection, and he didn't even look back when Shangguanqi came in.
Walking over to take a look, Shangguan Qi couldn't help but be stunned, it turned out that Liu Yi was looking at the "Colonial Act".
"You left in a hurry just to see this?" Shangguan Qi asked in surprise.
"yes, I'm going to read it quickly, it's a very important thing." Liu Yi said without raising his head.
Shangguan Qi didn't understand why Liu Yi was suddenly so concerned about the Colonization Act, you must know that this Act has a long history, even earlier than the Xinghan Empire.
Anyone who has gone to school is not aware of the Colonial Act, which is a course that must be taught in schools.
"Why did you suddenly remember to come and see this? What's the use? Shangguan Qi asked.
"That's right, this has a lot to do with our next registration and filing, and if we use it properly, maybe we can take this opportunity to reap some benefits." Liu Yi said in a smug tone.
"What can I do with this?" Listening to Liu Yi's words, Shangguan Qi was also a little curious.
At this time, Liu Yi finally turned around, looked at Shangguanqi and said, "I think you must have studied the "Colonial Act", but you should have forgotten about it, right?" ”
Shangguanqi smiled: "That's right, except for going to see it before the exam, who would seriously learn this." ”
"But you know what? What is the history of this bill and what it does? ”
Shangguanqi recalled for a moment and said, "Isn't it just a law for the colonists at that time? It's been hundreds of years old, so it shouldn't be of much use now, except for exams. ”
"You would be wrong, in fact, the Colonization Act is still in effect today, and even after the establishment of the Empire, the legal effect of this Act is still recognized, so some of the principles and regulations in this Act are still valid today." Liu Yi explained.
"But what does that have to do with us?"
"It has a lot to do with it, you listen to me and explain it to you slowly." Liu Yi replied: "This bill was formulated when mankind had just begun to enter the era of interstellar colonization, and the purpose was to encourage people to bravely explore the vast universe and find more habitable planets for mankind. ”
"I know that, and then what?" Shangguan Qi tilted his head and said.
"This bill can be said to be the earliest cosmic code of mankind, and it has had a great effect on the entire human civilization since then, and many of the principles and spirits in it have a foundational effect on various orders in the universe later, so even after the establishment of the Xinghan Empire, this bill is still recognized as valid."
"yes, but ......"
"Don't worry, listen to me." Liu Yi interrupted Shangguan Qi and continued: "When everyone was discussing just now, I suddenly thought of a question, if I remember correctly, it seems that the Yaqiu government only has sovereignty over Yaqiu City and several surrounding mining areas, and the rest of the land on Yaqiu Star belongs to the Terra nullius. ”
After Liu Yi finished speaking, he looked at Shangguan Qi with a smile on his face, Shangguan Qi was stunned for a few seconds, and suddenly shouted as if he had a big realization: "What do you mean?" ”
"That's right, we can take the opportunity of this registration to register a lot of borderlands as our land." Liu Yi replied.
"Wait......" Shangguan Qi calmed down and said, "According to what you say, anyone can occupy these uninhabited lands in Yaqiu at will?" So why didn't the people of the past do this? ”
Liu Yi said with a smile: "Actually, it's not as much as you want, according to the principles of the Colonization Act, if you explore an uninhabited planet, as long as effective colonization activities are carried out on the planet, this land can be owned by the colonists." Of course, you can claim as much land as you want, but you must have colonized the land. ”
Shangguan Qi understood and said, "You mean that even if I claim that the entire Yaqiu is mine, it must be colonized to count, otherwise the law will not recognize it." ”
"That's right, that's why there are so many borderlands in Aqiu to this day. Although there is a lot of vacant land, most of it is not worth developing, and even if it is occupied, it is meaningless, and you will have to pay taxes in the future. Liu Yi nodded and said.
"But why doesn't the government take possession of the land?"
"This bill is the same for the government, when the bill was first formulated, there was no government on many planets, relying on some civil organizations to manage themselves, in the Colonization Act, the same principles apply to any person and organization, and the government is also a kind of organization, so it is also treated the same."
"But even if the government occupies it, it doesn't have to pay taxes, so why not occupy it?"
"Of course, the government can occupy these uninhabited land, but after occupying it, it must also carry out colonial activities, such as building some activity stations, rescue facilities, etc., in the final analysis, the government cannot occupy it in vain, and it will always cost some price."
"Now I totally understand." "If we want to occupy a piece of land, what do we need to do to get the government's approval? ”
"It's actually quite simple, we just need to build some temporary houses. I have thought about it, if this militia organization is to continue to develop in the future, this little place in the city will definitely not be enough, and we must find a bigger place, so why not take this opportunity to occupy a place where no one is located and use it as a base for the development of the militia organization in the future. ”
