Chapter 135: New Law Released
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone reacted.
In other words, Huang Zhang makes suggestions, and then everyone present makes a decision!
This is a big deal. Huang Zhang doesn't make the decision and lets them make the decision. Isn't this putting the cart before the horse?
This was unprecedented in Su country, and it was hard for everyone to accept it for a while!
"Sir, this is impossible!" Zhu Tun was the first to object.
He is just a little white person, how can he be qualified to participate in such an important meeting! And he seems to have more power than Huang Zhang! How can this make him?
Huang Zhang stared at him and said sternly: "If I say you can, you can! All the people in the meeting today have been approved by me. If you doubt anyone is not qualified, you are doubting my vision!"
As soon as he said this, everyone became quiet.
In fact, they also wanted to try this feeling of speaking with weight. Since Huang Zhang said so, they couldn't say anything else.
The most shocking person here is Fan Li.
He was just the president of a small chamber of commerce. It was only because of his unique vision and luck that he managed to get on Huang Zhang's bus. He didn't expect that he would be able to attend such a meeting as soon as he got on the bus.
He had some objections to Huang Zhang's changes to Su's laws before, but now it seems that if he can really influence the decision-making of this law, he is not so resistant.
Moreover, Fan Li had a hunch that Linjiang Town might really take a completely different path under the leadership of the prince in front of him, and he would be a witness to this great change!
Besides, with the eldest prince supporting him, what should he worry about?
"Sir, what do I do as a propaganda committee member?" Zhu Tun asked again.
He had just discovered that his and Hu Yi'er's identities were different from everyone else's, excluding Fan Li, whose identity was very straightforward, but he had never heard of himself as a propaganda committee member, and he didn't know what he did.
"You are responsible for conveying the contents of the meeting after our meeting is over, so that the people in Linjiang City will know!"
"This... all the people?" Zhu Tun was stunned for a moment. If he was asked to express his opinions to a few important people, he might be able to do it, but for everyone, that would be too high a request!
Huang Zhang comforted him: "Don't worry, I will teach you what to do when the time comes. Just follow my instructions!"
"Oh." After hearing what Huang Zhang said, Zhu Tun felt relieved.
But then I thought about it, does this count as a promotion? Propaganda committee member, that sounds pretty good.
Huang Zhang looked at everyone and asked, "Do you have any objections to your identity?"
Seeing everyone shaking their heads, Huang Zhang continued: "Okay, let's start the third item of the meeting, which is to add laws! Yi'er, read a few of the items I wrote in the notebook."
"Oh!" Upon hearing this, Hu Yi'er immediately opened the notebook given by Huang Zhang and began to read.
"Article 1. All children of people registered in Linjiang City, as long as they are over six years old and under fifteen years old, must receive Linjiang City education, otherwise they will be fined one hundred silver."
"Article 2. During special periods, all registered personnel in Linjiang City must accept the management of Linjiang City. Any violation will be punished by a prison term of not less than ten days but not more than three months! Note: Special periods include but are not limited to war,
Drought, flood, famine, earthquake, etc.”
"Article 3: All residents of Linjiang City, those over sixty years old, and those disabled during wartime can enjoy Linjiang City's support benefits and provide jobs for retired soldiers!"
"Article 4: Wartime Pensions Regulations..."
Hu Yi'er talked about more than twenty items in one breath, all of which were related to the emerging system of Linjiang City formulated by Huang Zhang. The first few of them were somewhat incomprehensible to everyone present.
Why should I be punished for not studying? What a joke!
Everyone thought they had heard it wrong. Even if they read for free, they would be fined if they did not read. This was a benefit that could not be found even with a lantern.
Seeing that Hu Yi'er had finished reading, Huang Zhang knocked on the table and said, "Okay, let's start voting one by one! For the first item, raise your hands if you agree!"
Hearing this, Hu Yier's daughter and Bu Yun were the first to raise their hands. After hearing this, they understood what method Huang Zhang was going to use. It turned out to be a coercive method. They were convinced by this, and the people were unwilling.
Then force it, if you don't show up you'll have to pay, if you resist you'll go to jail! Let's see who dares to make trouble!
Seeing three people raising their hands, Liu Han, Zhuang Chengfeng, and Zhu Tun raised their hands without any surprise. Fortunately, Hong Hong knew that this was good for the people, so he also raised his hands.
Only Fan Li saw the word "free reading".
Free? This is not a good word for businessmen. Linjiang City provides free education for children. Where does the money come from? Isn’t it from businessmen like them?
When she thought of this, Fan Li didn't want to raise her hand.
But it doesn't matter whether he raises his hand or not. With Hu Yi'er and the others, the votes have been far exceeded.
"I declare that Article 1 is passed! Next, voting on Article 2 will begin!"
The second article is undoubtedly passed. After all, everyone will know what Huang Zhang is planning as long as they see this content.
Making things that originally required mobilization become mandatory will be very beneficial to the subsequent work, especially for Fan Li. He can get a lot of benefits from it and has no reason to refuse.
In the end, the meeting ended successfully with the passage of all twenty new laws.
This time was Huang Zhang's small attempt to implement the parliamentary system in a simple way, and the effect was good. People did not resist. On the contrary, they were very enthusiastic about participating.
Huang Zhang has decided that in the future, all matters of Linjiang City will be carried out through this kind of meeting.
Minutes must be taken at the end of each meeting to formulate clear rules and implement them in Linjiang City!
Of course, this idea was unanimously approved by everyone.
Everyone experienced the feeling of decision-making today, and suddenly found that this method can express everyone's ideas to the greatest extent. When voting just now, Liu Han added and modified several of them to make them
more perfect.
This kind of behavior was specially praised by Huang Zhang. With this kind of atmosphere, the subsequent decision-making will be much easier!
As soon as the meeting ended, Huang Zhang asked Zhu Tun to install a display board in the square, and arranged for several preachers to take turns reading the new law. In addition, he also set up a mobile preaching station to go back and forth in Linjiang Town.
Keep promoting!
Of course, this news must be heavy. No one has ever heard that it is illegal to not study. After hearing this, some people gave up and prepared to continue to make noises.
It's a pity that they underestimated Huang Zhang's determination this time. In order to ensure the smooth implementation of the new law, Huang Zhang specifically asked Liu Han to form a law enforcement team of 2,000 people from the large army to oversee the implementation of the new law.
Anyone who causes trouble will be arrested immediately!
Moreover, the first building Huang Zhang recruited people to build was the Linjiang City Prison!
Chapter completed!
