Chapter 392: The Eldest Princess in the Pit (One Hundred and Forty-Two)
The rules of Xianju City are very special.
For example, the city lord, a position with supreme power, does not have a hereditary system, but is elected by election.
All citizens over the age of thirteen have the right to vote.
The person with the highest number of votes will be qualified for the position.
Elected once every five years, and appointed for five years at a time.
may be re-elected for no more than three consecutive terms.
There are also many rules in Xianju City.
From the safety of the lives of the city's citizens, to the full respect for the personal rights (property) of the city's residents, to the protection of the rights of women and children through legal marriage, and so on.
The rights, obligations and penalties are clear.
For example, if a person beats his daughter-in-law and child for no reason and causes her death, he will be paid for his life!
For example, you can't take things that aren't your own.
In the past, the tribe paid attention to sharing.
Most people really don't have that clear boundaries of ownership.
Well, now you can't take things that aren't your own home.
If you take something as valuable as a watch, you will go to jail.
Scared to death personally!
Even the city lord himself has not digested all the rules after reading it for three days.
The work of the civil servants of the Xianju City Yamen in recent days has been focused on the propaganda of the rules of Xianju City.
Literate students are the main force in the promotion of urban planning.
The townspeople were eager to eat all the thick rules in their heads, and they were reciting them in their dreams.
No wonder they're so motivated.
The first administrative order issued by the city lord after taking office was to require all adults over the age of thirteen and under the age of forty with normal intelligence to pass the city regulation examination after three months.
Exams are taken once a year.
Those who fail to pass the examination are allowed to take the make-up examination, and those who fail the three-time make-up examination are happy to travel to the prison cell for seven days.
The prison, which has been publicized by the clan elders, has become a rather terrible punishment.
In addition to racking their brains to recite, the townspeople have a lot to do.
Those over the age of thirteen all went to the public bracelet management center in Yamen to queue up for registration as soon as possible.
Centimeter bracelet, one for each person.
In the past, centimeters were basically calculated and exchanged on a household basis.
Nowadays, family members over the age of 13 can have their own private property.
This is a completely new model of property distribution.
It is conceivable that the position of the head of the family in many families will face huge challenges.
The marriage registry office is also lively.
In the past few days, there are a lot of families talking about marriage.
Third Uncle You's second marriage has become a sweet spot in the marriage market, and he also drew a courtyard house at the foot of No. 1 Mountain.
You Xiaoniang, who grew up in her uncle's house, also moved back to her new home with her father.
The most reluctant to her is the third mother in the family, this little point is what she raised little by little.
At the age of three, it's the time to be cute.
You A-Niang looked at her wilting concubine and persuaded:
"They all live on the same hill, and it's only half an hour to go down. In the future, if you miss her, you will let her come back for a few days. In a few days, her new bride will enter the door, and she must not let the mother and daughter kiss each other? ”
Sanniang sighed: "The new daughter-in-law married by the third uncle of Wa is only thirteen years old, and she is a child, how can she take care of a three-year-old child?" ”
"It's all from this age, and it's because I don't understand it that she and her children are everywhere."
You A-Niang is not big-hearted, and now the status of her daughter and her man in Xianju City is needless to say.
The most popular candidate for son-in-law in the city, the first column is the three sons she gave birth to.
The third uncle of the child is also among the top few popular.
No father, no mother, no house and job.
In the past three years that he has been celebrating the festival for his daughter-in-law and children, he has been an extremely affectionate man in the eyes of everyone.
If it weren't for the new daughter-in-law who was chosen by himself, Youa Niang, as the sister-in-law, would have been annoyed to death by the daughters-in-law in the clan.
Newcomers have caught up with this wave of craze for obtaining certificates.
Even married women are willing to join in the excitement.
The goddess said that as long as there is this marriage certificate, the in-laws will not dare to blatantly bully them.
In short, after having a marriage certificate, there is the support of the yamen.
Nine out of nine men are not afraid.
They are more enthusiastic about the selection examination of civil servants in the yamen.
There is also the study of whether it is more cost-effective to work in a collective unit or to work as a freelancer.
The Haidayak tribe was one step ahead of them.
The head man made a final explanation to the tribesmen who were about to set off for sea fishing, so that they could only catch the seafood that could still live after landing.
In the mangrove forest near them, there is a large blue crab that is bigger than a human head, which is extremely violent.
Although the meat of blue crab is not as much as that of fish, the taste is extremely delicious.
There are also hundreds of people who have been sent to cut oil palm fruits.
Oil palm fruit, there are dozens of catties of fruit cut from a tree.
It's much easier than going into the sea to catch fish, or catching blue crabs in the mud.
Moreover, they were more familiar with the northeast corner of the island than the people of Xianju City.
In just one morning, the head's house piled up a hill of orange-red oil palm fruits.
When the people who fished and caught crabs returned home, they almost all used the large baskets and small frames that could hold things in their homes.
Mightily crossed the bridge and came to the ten-mile long street.
On the long street, the urban management brigade is patrolling the streets.
New department, new atmosphere.
Wearing the same uniform, walking together, and being energetic.
It's such a big group of people.
Maybe it's the uniform on their body that gives them courage, or maybe it's the long knife in their hands that gives them a sense of security.
Ten people against more than 300 people, they were not frightened.
After the two sides approached, the hearts of the members of the urban management team finally relaxed.
Are you here to give a gift to our city lord?
Carrying and picking!
When I asked, I was embarrassed!
People are here to sell goods.
Well, the acquisition center was driven to the shelves and opened in a hurry.
Fortunately, the employees received the price list in advance.
The threshed oil palm fruit is ten catties and one centimeter.
Live seafood is five centimeters in a catty, and in freshwater lakes or rivers, it is two centimeters in a catty.
There is no time to classify the seafood in detail, only about the provenance and life and death.
At the same time as the overweighing, the corresponding centimeter of the product is also calculated.
The staff of the Separation Bracelet Management Center are on the side to help these people handle the Separation Bracelet, which is quite efficient.
Not only were the acquisition centers forced to open earlier, but department stores and supermarkets also opened their doors.
On the first day, only one commodity was sold - matches.
A small box of 10 centimeters is sold for 20 centimeters.
It doesn't sound cheap, but for the Haidayak tribe, it's the price of two big blue crabs.
A match will last for months.
Madam, it's a good deal!
If it weren't for the department store salesperson asking these people to line up, they would definitely have to fight.
After repeatedly confirming that the department store will be open every day in the future, and will sell other products that the head has shown them.
The men of the Haidayak tribe went out and danced merrily in the streets.
