Reborn As a Pirate

Five hundred and nineteenth REBIRTH VII: Village Assembly

Busy days always pass quickly, and in a flash, it is already the fifth day that the Boclon family came to Miami.

In five days, they tidied up their home, got to know their neighbors, picked every potato they were given, and the whole family worked together to reclaim a full three acres of fertile land.

The atmosphere in Elk Woodlands is great.

Although my father heard that every colonial village will be accompanied by bloody power struggles in the early days of its development, the victors seize most of the living resources, and the losers often lose their lives together. Not once in a day.

Everyone is very friendly, Sophia played with the children in the village without any bullying, Raul has friends of the same age, and the first come knows everything about the latter.

Mr. Tula's family is the first family in the village, and they have moved here for three months. During the two days of manager Arhan's strike, he was recommended by the whole village to act as a village chief, showing a conscientious and conscientious character.

He once gathered the heads of the village together to let everyone cherish the stable life in front of them.

Mr. Tula said that the plan for the elk forest land is 36 self-cultivating farmers plus four farms. Now 23 self-cultivating farmers have been allocated, and none of the farms have been sold.

But the farm covers an area ranging from 100 acres to more than 300 acres. Once they move in, the owner must be a wealthy man with small savings.

It is impossible for propertyless people like them to compete against rich and powerful landowners. If the Prime Minister wants to continue to make the elk land as good as it is now, their only chance is to unite as one and hold a meeting before the first farm enters the household. The villagers' assembly formulates the basis of the village contract that is beneficial to the majority.

Mr. Tula went to Mailang Township to inquire about the villagers' meeting. In order to be accurate, he even spent two gold coins to consult the lawyer in the village.

First, the Drake Chamber of Commerce and Town Hall have a convention charter that favors the rich.

The statute allows for the purchase of ballots at an agreed price.

The conference will also announce the donations made by each household to the village management fund. Donations made in real money will definitely affect the final voting results.

However, the charter still leaves opportunities for most poor people.

First, as long as 50% of the immigrant population reaches the village meeting, it can be convened by agreement. It requires a unanimous vote, and it must be held if it reaches 80%.

The elk woodland plans to move 40 households, and now it has exceeded the requirements of the agreement. As long as they are united, they can hold the first villager meeting before the rich move in.

second,

Village committees are elected for a term of three years, unless a member resigns voluntarily or violates the law.

This means that the committee they elect can decide many things in three years, making Elk Woodlands a paradise for the proletarians.

Third, even if the committee members were later captured by rich people and the first committee was dissolved early, the originally agreed village regulations could only be revised with the support of two-thirds in the assembly. say.

The key is the initial appointment of the village regulations!

Mr. Tulla is very provocative, and it is rare that the elk forest land has not yet moved in even though the conditions of the agreement meeting are met.

The villagers were persuaded by Mr. Tula one after another, and even my father gave up his plan to go to Mailang Township to find a job immediately, and stayed in the village to wait for the first meeting to be called.

On the evening of January 4, taking advantage of the village manager's strike, the settlers of Elk Wood held their first informal meeting.

On January 6, Mr. Tula applied to the village office for the first village meeting.

On January 7, after four hours of voting, the agreement on the convening of the first village meeting was unanimously passed, and it was decided to hold it on January 15.

The villagers elected the preparatory committee for the conference. Mr. Tullah, who had moved in for three months, Mr. Burris, who had been moved for two months, Mr. Robick, who had just moved in for one month, and Mr. Boclon, who had just moved in. The only Indian, Mr. Chacha, was elected. To prepare for the representative.

Manager Arhan suggested that the preparatory committee go to Mailang Township to hire a real lawyer to draft the first draft of the village agreement for them. Compared with peasants like them who have never been in touch with rights, the opinions of professionals are obviously more valuable.

On January 8, the settlers in the Elk Woodland raised six gold and ninepence (an octagonal gold coin = 1/8 pound = 30 pence), and Mr. Tullah took the only unemployed Mr. Boclon in the committee with the burden of With the eager anticipation of all the villagers, they solemnly embarked on the journey to Mailang Township.

...

Mailang Township is located in the center of the largest plain in Tianyuan District. There are rolling hills in the north and south, and the wide Miami River in the southwest. On the other side of the river is the habitat of the powerful Indian tribal alliance and the Black Feather Alliance.

The Black Feather Union is one of the seven most powerful Indian tribes in Florida, with a total population of over 150,000.

The Drake Chamber of Commerce acquired the land in Miami that year. The area they sold accounted for one-third of the entire Miami area, including the entire Tianyuan District, the planned northern industrial area and a small part of the college area.

They also provided the most labor for the construction of Miami. More than 8,000 young men and women of the Kuroba tribe sweated on the construction site in Miami, and their unique and weird accents can be heard everywhere.

Therefore, Mailang Township is regarded as the front line, the city hall regards her as the front line to defend against the invasion of the Black Feather Division, and the Drake Chamber of Commerce regards her as the front line to recruit laborers.

However, no matter how much amicable past the Kurobabe and the Drake Chamber of Commerce have, with the arrival of Miami and the Spanish army, their relationship is becoming more and more tense.

Mailang Township Township Office, this four-story wooden structure building is built at the end of Square Street, the only stone road in Mailang Township, and there are rows of houses nearby, including district hall, chapel, shops, schools, tax stations, and postal stations And the police station are built here.

A negotiation is going on in the conference hall of the township office. One side of the negotiation is Khal Drogo and his Indian affairs team, and the other side is the delegation of the Black Feather Tribe headed by the young head and elders of the Black Feather Tribe.

The young minister, Yixinqi, wore a tribal-style vulture crest and five-color oil paint on his face, with a solemn expression.

Drogo Oldman, the Drake Chamber of Commerce was once a friend of the Kurobabe. We once thought that this friendship would last forever, but you obviously don't think so.

Drogo wore an Indian wolfskin jacket, open-chested and sleeveless, with leopard tattoos on his shoulders, a clean face, and no crown.

He took a sip of his coffee and looked up in a moment.

Young Patriarch Yixinqi, I don't quite understand what you mean.

You connive at the Spanish garrison in Miami and tempt our people! The young patriarch slapped the table, In the past few months, 186 Indians have left the tribe, most of them are young people in their twenties , which has a bad influence on the tribe!

Drogo laughed. That's nonsense.

Spain officially recognizes the status of Miami. Now Miami is a town under Spanish rule and has been recognized and protected by the Florida Governor's Palace. The Spaniards have the right to garrison troops in their own towns, just like the patriarchs have the right to garrison troops in their own tribes. .”

The Miami Development Office fully considered the feelings of Kuroba, and we rejected the city hall's request to set up a military camp in Mailang Township. This alone is enough to show Drake's sincerity.

As for immigration...Miami is a free town, and immigration regulations don't limit anyone's voluntary will or emphasize white privilege, which is fair.

There are more than 13,000 people from the Kuroba Department living in the sheds in Miami because of their work. Among them, 8,361 people work for Miami, and more than 70% of them are dispatched by your department and settled in a unified way.

“They are familiar with Miami, and based on this familiarity, they choose to become Miami citizens independently. This is their freedom. We didn’t seduce anyone, or if we wanted to seduce, there are far more people applying for Miami citizenship than there are now.

What's more, as far as I know, there are more than 370 households in the Kuroba tribe who are naturalized in Miami, most of which are located in Tahara District, but less than 200 households have actually left the Kuroba tribe.

Miami's law does not prevent Indians in Miami from being loyal to and owning a tribe. Just like me, who is both a Miami native and an Oldman from the Sharktooth Department, my tribe has 393 households and more than 1,500 people. A community has been established in the town of Estuary , and sporadically added two townships and fourteen villages, but their loyalty to Miami never affected their loyalty to me.

Population separation is your problem. You should reflect on yourself and see if you should change, instead of complaining that we have given you treatment that you can't give.

We didn't set any special bait, Indians in Miami were treated the same as whites in Miami, blacks in Miami, it wasn't good, it wasn't special.

The young patriarch gritted his teeth: Khal Drogo, you are a traitor to the Indians!

I'm just trying to fight for justice for my people in a white world, like every Miskito Oldman.

Drogo's tone was flat, but there was an imperceptible bitterness in his eyes, which the young patriarch couldn't understand at all.

The white people have come, if you can't drive them away, you should learn how to coexist with them.

Are you inviting a war?

War? Drogo glanced sharply at the elders around the young patriarch, at least half of the elders lowered their heads guiltyly, If you and your father want the Black Feather to perish at your hands, then come on !
