Chapter 66: Election Experiment!

Wang Mao's cousin Wang Yu is the owner of Shajiabao!

In the process of Wang Yu's battle with Li Daoyi, his right hand was abolished. www.biquge.info At the moment of danger, he had to use a life-saving charm to teleport across the Shahe River and appear dozens of miles away from Shajiabao.

Wang Yu lay on the ground, almost fainting in pain.

Shajiabao, he can't go back.

Enduring the pain and numbness of his right hand being roasted, Wang Yu thought about it and threw out several teleportation spells as soon as he gritted his teeth.

This time, he appeared directly within the boundaries of the Qin State to which Liangzhou belonged.

He knew that he didn't have the ability to kill back to the Chu State to take revenge, but he could borrow troops from the Qin State!

......

The words were divided into two ends, after Li Daoyi beat Wang Yu away, there was no castle master in Shajiabao for the time being.

Li Daoyi thought that the purpose of his visit to Shajiapu this time was to promote the democratic election system, and Shajiabao was now short of a castle owner, so he could take advantage of the opportunity to select a new castle lord to conduct a democratic vote, which could be regarded as a rehearsal for the election of Wudang County officials in a few days.

Looking at the sky, it was already dark, and Li Daoyi did not say in public for the time being that he would conduct a democratic election to elect the new castle owner.

That night, he temporarily stayed in Shajiapu, and was ready to personally preside over the democratic election in Shajiabao after breakfast tomorrow.

In the evening, Li Daoyi summoned Wang Gui and the patriarchs of the major families in Shajiabao into his room, told them about the election, and asked them to be responsible for gathering all the adults in Shajiabao and helping to maintain order at the time of the election.

Shajiabao has a total of five surnames: Wang, Zhang, Zhao, Liu, and Sun. There were 753 adults in total.

The next day, Li Daoyi hurriedly ate breakfast and went to the square in the middle of Shajiabao.

After a busy night of Wang Gui and his family, five ballot boxes have been set up in the square and a platform has been set up to preside over the election.

At this time, the square was already crowded. Except for a very small number of people who were sick in bed, more than 700 adults in Shajiapu were all present, not to mention many children watching the excitement. These ordinary people, who have been exploited for countless years, were both excited and nervous after learning that they were going to vote anonymously to elect the lord of Shajiabao.

They all held a slip of paper with the name of the owner of Shajiabao Fort that they had thought of yesterday, and then looked at the ballot box with their eyes blank, wanting to vote for the one that would decide the history of Shajiabao!

Li Daoyi walked directly to the seat in the center of the rostrum and sat down, and the field suddenly fell silent.

Looking around and looking at the audience, Li Daoyi saw the look of expectation and excitement in the eyes of those people, and of course a little fear.

He slowly stood up and began to speak.

"Folks, today is the moment that will determine history!"

"In the past, the appointments of the previous castle lords of Shajiabao had nothing to do with you! They were all privately taught and accepted by major officials under the guise of the Great Chu Law! So, can you imagine whether it was full of black-box operations? Is it full of the smell of copper coins?"

"Hehe, people with a little IQ can naturally figure out how dark and unsightly it will be for superior officials to directly appoint lower-level officials in the absence of an effective supervision mechanism!"

"Power comes from the top down, not from the bottom up! Then cronyism and selling official beards (yu) lords will naturally be flooded!"

"Officials protect each other! Corruption cannot be properly punished, and grievances cannot be justified! The root cause of all this is the system!"

"Legend has it that the people of a country were in a cage in order to get votes, to take power back from the rulers, to put the administrators in a cage completely! they fought! they left blood! they sacrificed! But they knew that they had lived in humiliation all their lives, so they could not let their children and grandchildren continue to be humiliated! Therefore, although they died nine times, they did not regret it!"...,

"Eventually, they did!"

"And I want to say, you are lucky! Because you did not go through bloodshed and sacrifice, you got the votes in your hands! So, please cherish this hard-won opportunity!"

"If you take bribes, if you only vote for those with whom you have a good relationship, then you will continue to live like dogs without the sympathy of any bystanders!

"Is money important? or is it your own fate, or the fate of future generations? ”

"From today onwards! No matter how humiliating history is, it is history after all! And in the future, do you choose to continue to live in humiliation, or do you stand up and take control of your own destiny and create a better life? The choice is in your hands!"

"Of course, the castle lord who is finally elected by one person, one vote may not be the person you have in mind. Because absolute fairness and justice cannot exist. However, the one-person-one-vote mechanism can ensure that the elected person is the person with the greatest public support, and can move closer to fairness and justice to the greatest extent! It can put an end to black-box operations and let the transfer of power run completely under the sun!

"So, please use your votes to create a better future for Shajiabao!"

Although an era has the characteristics of an era, an era has the limitations of an era. But who doesn't want to be in control of their own destiny? But who willingly turns into fish and flesh, lying under the sword of power, and letting corrupt officials slaughter them?

The more than 700 adults holding ballots in the square all listened with blood boiling and tears in their eyes.

After listening to Li Daoyi's speech, some people who had accepted bribes to vote last night immediately found brushes and filled in the ballot papers again. And the patriarchs of the five major families, seeing this scene, were all full of shame, obviously, the five of them did some shady small actions last night in order to be elected as the castle master.

After the speech, after waiting quietly for a few minutes, Li Daoyi sat down again and signaled that voting could begin.

Behind the five ballot boxes, five lines were lined up by surname. They voted quietly and left quietly ...

An hour later, all the more than 700 adults in Shajiabao had voted.

Li Daoyi asked Wang Gui to send five trustworthy family members to collect the five ballot boxes. He wrote five more seals with the words "Wudang County's top secret, those who open the seal without permission will be cut down immediately!" and stamped it with his own small seal of the county order, and then firmly pasted the seals on the ballot box to prevent anyone from daring to make small moves again.

The democratic election held in Shajiabao this time is equivalent to a test field for the democratic election in Wudang County, so Li Daoyi naturally attaches great importance to it in order to accumulate experience.
