Chapter 589: Not a State
Zheng Jieming and the rest of the people soon drove back to the city.
He left a man who seemed to be more loyal in the building, and told him to follow them in any situation, and if they were leaving, let him do the same, and leave a note.
Geng Zhi and others were anxiously waiting for Zheng Jieming's return, and when they saw the car coming back, they were relieved.
"Did you catch it!?" Geng asked.
"Caught it." Zheng Jieming replied briefly.
"Not in the car? He's dead? Geng Zhi asked again.
Zheng Jieming nodded, "Let's go back and talk about it, let's finish it first, now the people on the south bank are estimated to be unstable, and they still don't agree with us." β
"That's right, there are still many backbones of Sun Cheng in the past, as well as those who were loyal to him, are now tied up." Geng Zhi said, "I advocate killing." β
Zheng Jieming thought for a while and asked Geng Zhi, "How many people are there?" β
"There are about twenty of them, two of them are seriously injured, and together with Zhao Ying, they are locked in a room." Geng replied straightly.
It's a hundred kills, but you can't kill them all. and those who do constitute a calamity shall die. However, the key is what most people think now, there must always be a rule for merit and punishment, and you can't pat your head to set it.
Thinking of this, Zheng Jieming had an idea.
"Go back to the North Shore and ask if there are any lawyers among the survivors. Nan'an also asked, the more than 20 die-hard loyalists, don't care about it for now, let it go. But if there is an injury, it should be treated, and what others eat, give them what they eat, and don't treat them differently. Let's talk about it in a few days, and the others will count the survivors together. Zheng Jieming said, "It's still the same old saying, if you don't want to stay and rebuild together, you can go, and you won't stop you." But make it clear what is good about staying. β
The benefits of staying? They have already put together a complete set of narratives. It can be conducive to coexistence, it can rebuild social order, it can gradually bring everyone back on trackββββ and most importantly, these two cities have a certain geographical advantage, where they should be able to regain their original order and civilization to a certain extent.
Most of the survivors were clearly willing to stay, and a very small number preferred to go back to the days of scavenging and chose to leave on their own.
Zheng Jieming gathered the people on the north and south banks separately and gave a brief lecture to everyone, trying to stabilize everyone's minds.
But in terms of specific management, he doesn't want to do it all himselfββββ after all, there are too many people now, and he just wants to manage it himself, and it is unlikely.
"Sun Cheng's previous method also has some workability, but he doesn't seem to really trust others." Zheng Jieming found Lin Boqiang, the only surviving politician.
"I seem to have told you before that I could let you take the lead, remember?" Zheng Jieming asked Lin Boqiang.
He did say this to Lin Boqiang. However, at that time, Lin Boqiang just thought that Zheng Jieming was talking back and threatening himself not to try to challenge his position.
"You want me to stand in the sea of swords and fire." Lin Boqiang looked at Zheng Jieming, "I know that at this time, it is difficult to manage a group of people, but let me take care of it, right?" β
"Sort of. In short, you don't look like you need to retire. You can just think of it as a reorganized government now, but don't use the words 'government' or 'country' anywhere, just use the words 'organization' to express it, and as for how you plan to implement your ideas, you can decide. Zheng Jieming said.
"I'm like a puppet government, right? You have personnel rights, you have management rights, but most of the armed personnel are still subordinate to you. Lin Boqiang replied.
Armed men? If you want to grab it, I'm afraid that even if I agree, it won't necessarily be recognized by everyone, Zheng Jieming thought.
"Other specific management can be jointly proposed by you and Geng Zhi and others, you first come up with a management model, and then everyone will put forward their opinions and vote." Zheng Jieming said, "You can put it forward in any way you want, and I'm afraid there is no second person who has more say in this regard than you." β
After that, Zheng Jieming found a lawyer. After questioning, among all the survivors, there were three who had served as lawyers.
"You used to be lawyers in China?" Zheng Jieming asked.
The three nodded.
"Pretty good. It's all written law in China, right? Zheng Jieming said, "Then, it is appropriate to leave the task of drafting laws to you, and on the basis of your memory, you can draw up some laws, you can design them however you want, and this work will be done for you in the future." Laws and regulations are added at any time. β
"Are you asking us to adopt a domestic approach, or something else?" One of the lawyers said, "We can just apply the constitution or we can look at other models." β
"It's okay, anyway, it's not something you can decide if you put it forward." Zheng Jieming looked at this person and smiled, "Even in China, the law enacted has to be passed by the National People's Congress, right?" You can bring up any ideas you have, and they will definitely have to be revised afterwards. However, there is one most important point, how to punish those who cause damage to our existing order must be involved; Moreover, what you put forward must be able to be traced back to this battle with Sun Cheng. β
To put it bluntly, Zheng Jieming needs the law to regulate everyone's behavior, and he also needs the law to punish those 20 people.
After arranging this, he put all his mind on directing everyone to rescue the wounded.
For a team with an unstable foothold, the most important thing is probably to win the hearts and minds of the people.
He gathered all the people who had worked in the medical profession and let Fang Xinping manage and administer medical treatment for each injured person. The reason why I didn't choose ββββ hospital was because there were too many zombies inside, and there were blood stains everywhere after cleaning.
As for the residence, he also gave up the stronghold of the industrial and commercial office, and directly chose another more upscale residential area.
He first sent armed men to carefully check the safety of each room before bringing everyone over.
"You can choose one for each family. Since there are so many of us, we don't need to live in a pigeon cage at all?! Everyone chooses their own place to live, and when they are done, be sure to come and register. However, unlike your old life, be sure to come and register once a morning to avoid accidents! Thank you for your understanding during this special period! β
Of course everyone understands!!
Especially for those who came from Shuichuan Cityββββ during the period when Xu Zhi led them to survive, everyone could choose where to live at will!
This approach quickly won Zheng Jieming a lot of support.
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
A day later, Lin Boqiang drew up his full plan.
"It's basically borrowed from the Constitution." Lin Boqiang said with a smile, "I personally think this method is more suitable. However, there are still changes in some aspectsββββ after all, we now have a total population of only three or four hundred people, and we don't need so many messy institutional settings. β
Zheng Jieming looked at his plan, and the personnel were roughly divided into four types: agricultural personnel (mainly hunting and fishing), medical personnel, legal personnel, and combat personnel. The task of the combatants is to constantly clean up the city and its surroundings, kill the zombies as much as possible, and it is a standing combat effectiveness. Each of the four categories of personnel elects representatives to form a standing decision-making body on important matters, and then elects more representatives on a wider range as a broader decision-making bodyββββ even if Zheng Jieming makes a decision, it needs to be decided by these people's opinions. In most cases, however, it can be adopted by agreement among the representatives of the four categories of personnel. As for the day-to-day management of various affairs, the four categories of personnel are organized and managed by themselves.
"It's kind of interesting, but I'll make a little suggestion, and add a class of instructors. We can't go to a life of blood drinking and primitive hunting. The status of the followers must also be high, and when they go out to search, they should also send personnel to protect all the books from being destroyed by the combatants. Moreover, it is expected that the teaching staff should take on more administrative work and improve their status as much as possible. Zheng Jieming made a suggestion, "I'm just an idea, you can measure it, and change it if it's not suitable." β
Subsequently, on the basis of the plan proposed by Lin Boqiang, the three lawyers seized the time to improve the regulations and form everything into a system.
Five days later, when everyone's lives had settled down and the fire in the north had been extinguished, Zheng Jieming chose a basketball arena on the south bank as a temporary meeting venueββββ all the survivors, except for the wounded and more than 20 people whose personal freedom was restricted.
"You kind of a nation-building mean?" After Geng Zhi read the plan, he asked Zheng Jieming in a low voice.
"I'm thinking about how to name this organization of ours, and it's easier to have a banner that brings people together and lets people know that they're working and fighting for a common organization, not for a single person." Zheng Jieming said, "But it must not be in the name of the country." I always believe that the country is still there, and we don't do Yu Zekai's set. β
"Hmm. The idea is good, but the arrangement itself is formally like a state. Look here. Geng pointed directly to the leader of the organization, "The first leader, how can it be you, right?" β
"It's not the state, it's not the government. I repeat. Zheng Jieming replied extremely seriously.
