Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Founding of the Nation - The Sea and the Peace of the Country

In the afternoon of the same day, as soon as Liu Luo landed on the island, he heard the news of Li Mu's return, went straight to his house, pulled him out of the bed, and dragged him all the way to the meeting hall of the provisional government next to the palace. In a short time, all the leading figures on the island arrived, nearly 20 people, and sat in two large rows in order.

Liu Luo sat on the main seat of the conference hall to preside over the meeting, he cleared his throat and said: "Now that the inner city has been built, the matter of building the country should also be put on the agenda." Everyone is here today, so let's talk about some of your views on the founding of the country."

Everyone turned their eyes to Li Mu, and Li Mu blinked, "I don't have anything to say." The financial power is in the hands of the second brother...... Oh, yes, Sheriff's. In the past, the security on the island was managed with the assistance of the First Legion, Chonglou, just draw five people from your First Legion to set up a sheriff's office, right?"

Chonglou didn't speak, anyone with a discerning eye could see that this thing was distressed, and his heart eye was the smallest in the entire conference room.

Afterwards, everyone began to discuss the departments that needed to be formed, and they kept shouting until nightfall without a single result. Li Mu really couldn't listen to it anymore, he cleared his throat, the conference hall instantly quieted down, and he spoke: "Tomorrow a recruitment notice will be posted, and all those who think they have the ability can participate, and there are not a few candidates with both ability and political integrity among the more than 10,000 residents?"

In fact, since the construction of the island, there has been a competition for posts in this way of recruitment, and after half a year, the facts have proved that the effect is very good.

Liu Luo had a smile on his face and said, "Third child, when the country is established, it will be called Hai'an Country?"

Li Mu said: "Let's call it Hai Ping An Country, in the future, the people of our country will be Hai Ping An people, indicating that our island is safe and sound." ”

Liu Luo said: "Okay, just do as you say." Also, do you want to hold an enthronement ceremony?"

"Me?" Li Mu pointed to his nose, and then he waved his hand again and again, "I can't be the king, second brother, this king is the most suitable for you to be the king." Think about how many years you have been in the aristocratic circle of Shangjing before, and no one is more suitable than you. ”

After Li Mu finished speaking, Liu Luo felt that his heart was beating faster, this is the king, if he wants to say that he doesn't care about this position, he doesn't even believe in himself.

Except for Chonglou, Jiang Fei and Erxi, the expressions of everyone in the conference hall were different. Chonglou and Jiang Fei didn't care who was the king, they only knew that the surname of the two legions was Li. The herringbone sword was a little stunned at first, but he chased Li Mu here, and seeing that the king had actually changed, he couldn't accept it for a while. Soon, he saw the expressions of the first and second army commanders, and he suddenly opened his mouth: Just know the big boss behind the scenes, why bother with the surface?

Tao Cheng and Tan Wenfu glanced at each other, and they both glanced at Erxi at the same time. Erxi sat there leisurely drinking tea, as if the whole meeting had nothing to do with him. These two old men immediately understood the reason: Li Mu and Liu Luo are sworn brothers, and how the brothers want to arrange it is their business, what kind of heart do they have for these part-time workers?

When everyone's eyes fell back on Liu Luo, Liu Luo took a deep breath and said with certainty: "Third child, are you serious?"

"Second brother, we are brothers who are righteous and married to Jin Lan. Li Mu got up and continued: "I really have a headache when I hear about internal affairs, the so-called knowing people and making good use of them, it is just right for the second brother to manage the country." I'm suitable for fighting and killing, hehe, you continue to discuss, I'll go to the barracks and have a look. ”

Li Mu came out of the conference hall, and Chonglou, Jiang Fei, and the herringbone sword quickly followed. As soon as the four of them left, the rest of the entire conference hall was all high-level internal affairs. Liu Luo immediately understood what Li Mu meant: the military and the government are separated, and the army does not take care of political affairs.

As the first emperor of Hai'an since the founding of the country, his task is to develop the country better, so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment, everyone has food to eat, and everyone has money to earn. As for the expansion of territory, he doesn't have to worry about it, that's the army's business. He just needs to wait to take over the country that the army has beaten down and guard the country well. The meeting continued until the time when a general course of development was discussed. In the next two days, Liu Luo hardly left the conference room, and his eyes were blood-red due to miscellaneous things......

The matter of the founding of the country was in full swing, and the residents of the island were overjoyed when they heard about the founding of the country. Early that morning, almost all the people of the island, on the main street in front of the palace, went out en masse to block the entire street. Li Mu and Wan Niang were about to go to the small world to play, and as soon as they left the palace, they were startled by the scenery in front of them.

Wan Niang explained: "In the past six months, everyone's living standards have improved, and now they don't have to worry about food and drink, and even the housing is given by the imperial court that is about to establish the country, so the people gather and take out all the money in their hands to sponsor the new court." ”

Li Mu suddenly said, but these are internal affairs, and they have nothing to do with him, and he finally squeezed out the congested crowd, so he led Wanniang to the small world. I played in the small world for four days, and I came back the day before the founding ceremony.

The founding ceremony was held very grandly, but the cost was very small, and many things were sponsored by the people. At the ceremony to worship the heavens, Liu Luo promulgated the first national policy since the founding of the People's Republic of China: abolish slavery and make everyone equal in Haiping'an! This national policy made these people who had lived in a slave society since childhood weep with joy. Next, Liu Luo promulgated many laws, regulations and other regulations, all of which were from the perspective of the people......

The founding ceremony lasted all day, and in the evening, Li Mu and Wan Niang went home with their tired bodies, and as soon as they entered the house, they saw a row of people kneeling in the courtyard. Li Mu blinked and looked at them: "What's wrong?"

The stake has a stupid mouth, keeps his head down and does not speak. Dongmei and Xiahe's two little girls pumped together, obviously just cried. Su Shan said: "Grandma, grandma, the little ones don't want to leave, the little ones want to wait by the side of the grandpa and grandma all the time......"

Feelings are for the sake of national policy. Li Mu asked them to stand up first, "This national policy is what I mean, in the future, there will be no slaves in our Haiping Country, and we are not allowed to sell our bodies, let alone kneel at every turn." Remember, everyone is equal in the country of Haiping, and you don't have to kneel even when you see the king, understand?"

A few small ones looked dazed, and Li Mu continued: "From today onwards, you will regain your free body. If you want to stay, you will continue to stay, and when the time comes, I will give you monthly money. If you don't want to stay, I'll find you a house, and now Hai'an is in ruins, and some places need manpower. Dongmei and Xia He are not small, when someone comes to the door to propose, I will marry you. ”

The two little girls blushed when Li Mu said, and Li Mu said to Su Shan and Zhuzi again: "You two are the same, tell me when you have someone you like, if I am not at home, tell your grandma, and your future relatives and grandma will call the shots for you." ”

After coaxing a few small ones, Li Mu and Wanniang returned to the room to rest. Lying on the bed, Li Mu remembered the gold and silver of Xinyezhou again, the establishment of Hai'an Kingdom, and all departments performed their duties, it seemed that he was really going to the mainland......
