African Nationhood

Chapter 66 Current status of grassroots governance
  Kang Feng quickly jumped off the bullock cart, ran to the man, and said with a smile: "We are new immigrants and we want to settle in Siming Town."

Upon hearing this, the man nodded, "The registration card is here, give it to me."

"In my pocket, wait."

Kang Feng took out four registration cards and handed them to the man, who took them and looked at them.

Kang Feng took the opportunity to look at the man in front of him. This man was not old, he looked to be twenty years old at most.

He is of medium height but has a very dark complexion.

Xu Qing's scalp can still be seen on his head. It seems that this person had his head shaved not long ago.

"Hey, your whole family of four is here. It's so happy."

"Well, hey, I haven't asked you your last name yet?"

The man laughed and said, "My surname is indeed expensive, because I was an orphan, and after I came to Southwest Africa, I took Mr. Shi's surname from Mr. Da Liu.

Just call me Shi Ershui. I am the assistant to the mayor of Siming Town and the militia captain of the town. "

After listening to Shi Ershui's introduction, Kang Feng was respectful, but he cupped his hands and said, "It turns out to be Captain Shi. I'm disrespectful."

"Hey, don't be like this. Our governments at all levels are now cracking down on those who put on official pretences, so don't hurt me.

Just call me Shi Ershui. If you join the town's militia, you can call me captain. Normally, just call me Shi Ershui. "

Lin Qing, who was sitting blankly on the bullock cart, looked at the two people talking in front of him, and his head became clearer.

There are really people who are resolutely implementing the concept of "equality" given by that person. Are they really stupid?
  They are not stupid, so why are they willing to implement it?

This "equality" is applicable and practical to them, and the implementation of this concept will not cause them losses, but will gain a lot, so they will support and implement it.

After thinking about it, Lin Qing began to pray for these fools in her heart.

I pray that the aloof Mr. Shi can always maintain his "true character" and not be a person who deceives the world.

"Oh, it's not mine. I remember it and I won't do it again. Hello, Shi Ershui."

"Well, let's go and I'll take you to see the mayor."

Kang Feng nodded hurriedly, and then waved to the bullock cart behind him, indicating that he should follow.

The whole Siming Town is not big. If you go to the end of a cross street, you have completed the whole town. There are not many brick buildings in the town, most of them are shacks.

The group moved very quickly and arrived at the foot of a two-story masonry building.

"This is the town government. The mayor's office is on the second floor. Let's go."

Kang Feng nodded, then looked back at Lin Qing, who had a dull expression behind him. He didn't know what was wrong with him, so he just kept his head silent all the way.

Lin Qing slowly got off the ox cart, and then helped the ox cart unload the luggage and grain on the cart.

Shi Ershui and Kang Feng also came over to help and quickly finished unloading the things.

Akalari and his two children were waiting underneath, taking a look at their luggage.

Shi Ershui took Kang Lin to the second floor. When they were going up the stairs, Kang Feng asked about the man in shackles at the entrance of the village.

"Hey, that guy is just petty, because not many people in our town have wives, and more than a hundred young men are eagerly waiting to find a wife.

The boy was lucky enough to catch him first in the lottery. He took her home as a treasure and kept him at home so no one could see him.

If he finds his wife speaking a word or looking at another man, he will feel uncomfortable and must find a way to deal with his wife.

At first, everyone could only watch. After all, it was a matter in his house, and anyone who said anything would cause gossip.

Later, Mr. Shi and others implemented the "Equality for Everyone" punishment regulations.

Among them, there is a rule that women cannot be beaten or scolded, so we are determined to cure his bad habit.

At first he was still honest after being punished, but after a few days he started to get itchy again. He was a person who would not change even after a little training. So the mayor got really angry and put a shackle on him for a few days. If that didn't work, he divorced the couple and left him alone. "

Shi Ershui said through gritted teeth, as if saying this would satisfy him.

After hearing the reason, Kang Feng no longer sympathized with this guy.

My wife is my caring person, and we need to respect each other in life. How can I hit someone? She is really not a man!
  The mayor is very kind and not too old. Among them, Kang Feng is the oldest and has the most complete family.

The mayor paid great attention to their arrival and first settled the two families into an empty room in the town government.

The next day, people were gathered to help the Kang family build their house. As for Lin Qing's church, they still had to wait, because the church needed to consume scarce masonry and cement.

The Kang family only needed wood and wheat straw to build their home, and the entire house was completed in five or six days.

Kang Feng was very grateful to these enthusiastic neighbors and took out the sea fish and canned fruits he bought in Hot Spring City to entertain everyone.

After everyone had a good meal, the joy dissipated.

Then Shi Ershui took Kang Feng to measure the land, and his family of four were allocated 20 acres of land.

The shrubs and weeds that grow on these lands are so luxuriant that it takes a lot of effort to rectify them.

It is now the end of the rainy season, and they need to prepare the land as soon as possible to plant crops for the new season.

During the dry season, everyone in the town gathers to build water conservancy ditches so that more water can be stored in the next rainy season.

Kang Feng immediately said that he would step up land preparation and would never hold back the town.

Shi Ershui reminded him that he could hire strong young men in the village to help, as long as he was given food and some military tickets.

Kang Feng nodded naturally, and then Shi Ershui explained some precautions, such as that feces must be put into the toilet and that open defecation is not allowed.

When the dry season comes, the excrement at home should be retted and used as fertilizer, which is very useful for growing crops.

Also, remember to take a shower regularly and avoid being slovenly and careless about hygiene.

Another thing to remember is to drink boiled water, not raw water.

Every time he said these prohibitions, Shi Ershui warned him sternly.

He also told Kang Feng that these were proposed by Mr. Shi and some people did not take them seriously at first.

They secretly drank raw water and refused to take more showers. As a result, people died in their settlement due to severe diarrhea, and eventually a plague broke out.

Many people really died. After the whole territory was notified and strict arrests were made for several months, everyone slowly developed a habit.

You are such a happy family, so you can't be careless, otherwise you will have to swallow your sadness by yourself.

Kang Feng was very moved after hearing these heartfelt words. He patted his chest and said that he would strictly abide by them!
  When the land of Kang Feng's family was almost ready, Shi Ershui came to Kang Feng again and asked him to follow him to Hot Spring City to participate in the competition.

Kang Feng was immediately confused, "Competition, what kind of competition?"

"There are all kinds of sports competitions, including football, tug-of-war, and rope skipping. You are strong, so you can join us in the tug-of-war competition."

Kang Feng felt a little unhappy because his land had not been prepared yet.

Shi Ershui naturally knew his worries and told him directly that if he could win the competition, all the young men in the town would come to help him prepare the land.

After hearing this, Kang Feng was naturally curious, why?
  Shi Ershui laughed, "Because sports competitions are related to the indicators for dividing a wife. Winning a competition will lead to several more indicators. How can these young men not try their best?"

Upon hearing this, Kang Feng immediately agreed happily, and immediately called his family to go to Hot Spring City together. After a few days of competition, Siming Town received five more women's settlement quotas.

The young men in Siming Town were so happy that they almost couldn't find the north. Within two days after returning home, all the Kang family's land was claimed.

The next step was to plant crops for the new season. Kang Feng and his wife followed the unified dispatch of the town government and quickly completed the planting work in the entire town.

Standing in front of the large and neat fields, the Kang Feng family was full of confidence that their good days were really coming!
  　Please collect, invest, read, recommend and vote, thank you!
