Chapter 218 Banquet

Most of the representatives are not as conceived as Huang Tingkun, but standard Chinese traditional way of thinking: a moment is a moment, since the gangsters are powerful——since even Mr. Wu from the county government is sitting on the stage, they There is nothing wrong with a group of ordinary people conforming to it.

The meeting in the afternoon was relatively simple. After delivering a round of tea, Wu De asked each village to nominate a "liaison officer". The liaison officer will meet regularly at the Bairen Public Office on the first day of each month to receive instructions from the Traveling Group .

"Liaison officer, why don't you ask each village to set up a maintenance committee?" When the system was first formulated, some people felt uncomfortable with the term "liaison officer".

"The word liaison officer is very neutral. It's nothing." Ma Qianju didn't think there was anything wrong with it. "There's no need for the maintenance meeting. We'll just ask the villages to set up village committees in the future."

The liaison system is nominally to receive orders from the Bairen Gong, but in fact it is used by the Traveling Group to remotely command the villages.At the same time, it is stipulated that when the personnel of the office go to the villages, the liaison staff will be responsible for receiving and supporting them.

"All payments will be paid by the staff of the office at the price of the circulation coupons," Wu De explained, "The circulation coupons can be used to offset the grain share allocated by each village."

For things whose value is difficult to determine for a while, the staff of the office will issue a receipt in duplicate, stating the content of the support, signed by both parties.The liaison staff will bring the receipt to the office every month to check the price and settle the account to compensate for the food distribution.

This system is simple and clear, and does not harm the interests of the people, and the representatives expressed their approval.It's just that many people secretly doubt whether such a system can be implemented - the inconsistency between words and deeds of the superiors, and the fact that they renege on their own words, are the most familiar and common situations for ordinary people in China.

The Political Consultative Conference is coming to an end. Now that the major policies have been covered, all the rest are details.The details cannot be clarified at such a meeting of hundreds of people, so the following group meetings will be held, and the cross-travelers will explain it.

The people who participated in the meeting were divided into groups according to each city and map, and each group was sent a traveler to preside over it.There are no more than [-] or [-] representatives in a group, and you can ask questions immediately if you don’t understand, which makes communication more efficient.

First, a set of simple weighing instruments was delivered to each village, including a set of 500-gram large and small weights, named "Dajin"; a one-meter-long wooden ruler, named "Dachi".Both of these are related to the material collection in the future, so they are the first standards to be unified through the regime.

Wen Desi originally wanted to promote the Gregorian calendar, but the calendar has always been the patent of the imperial court. Promulgating the calendar without authorization is tantamount to rebellion, and finally decided not to promulgate it.Do it after you completely tear your skin off with the court.

In the end, a sample booklet of circulation coupons was issued to each village, and the usage and exchange methods were explained in words.The certificate of the public office is also printed on this booklet. In the future, all the people who travel to the countryside can ask the villages to support their needs as long as they have the certificate.

It's almost time for dinner. The elders and patriarchs of the villages are full of old-timers. Taking the opportunity of face-to-face communication, they all demand that the village warriors sent to join the security team must be led by their own nephews. How can this be possible? ?This unreasonable request was immediately rejected by the Executive Committee.

At this time, some landlords along the Wenlan River raised the issue of land. It turns out that although part of the land occupied by the traversers is barren land, it is owned land. However, in the past, the landlords were afraid of the force of the traversers. Dare to mention this matter, now that they are friendly and reasonable, some people cry and say that such and such place belongs to his family, and the whole family counts on these places to eat, but now they are taken by the chiefs, and the whole family can't eat. Full stomach and so on.

Ma Qianzhu, who was present, frowned, thinking that before the officers and soldiers came, you landlords were going to mess with the sky!He actually came to ask for land with us.When they first occupied the land, they paid great attention not to disturb the people and harm the people, so they did not enclose any land that showed signs of reclamation and use, and only chose the barren land full of smoke and grass-the most indispensable thing in Lingao is Wasteland, even the banks of the Wenlan River are no exception.Let's look at a few representatives crying, all of them are fat and white, and they don't look like they are hungry.Just about to attack, but was stopped by Wen Desi:

"No, no, when we first arrived here, it was time to win the trust of the people, so we can't be too tough."

This rightist really has a soft spot for the exploiting class.Ma Qianzhu has a lot of opinions in his heart, but now is the time to make goodwill with the local authorities, and the landlords are also the targets of the united front, so it's inconvenient to show their face, but they can't be too soft, so as not to make progress.

Immediately after discussing with Wu De, he announced that if the traversers occupy the owned land, the landlords can go through the transfer procedures with the title deed, and the office will buy it according to the market price.Because Lingao has a lot of wasteland, uncultivated land is not worth much at all, and it doesn't cost much to buy it.

Unexpectedly, as soon as this decision was announced, Wu Ya also popped up, and solemnly pointed out that although many lands occupied by the traversers belonged to wasteland, they were official lands.He suggested that the office go to the county government office to handle the land deed - now the traveler already has the entity of Bairen Village, and can handle various documents.

Mom, even the government wanted to get involved, and they really spared no effort to generate income.Wu De wanted to hold a knife in his hand, but the other party did not dare to ask for a price, and if he gave the official some money, the state-owned assets would naturally be obtained cheaply.They have seen this trick a lot, and they didn't expect to experience it with their own hands in this time and space.Immediately he agreed, saying that he would come to visit another day, Wu Ya was in a good mood, and felt that these gangsters were getting more and more aware.

This incident also reminded the traversers that it is necessary to conduct further investigations on the land conditions of the entire county. The development plans formulated include the construction of road networks, the development of industrial areas, and mining areas, all of which involve land data. collect.

The first Lingao Political Consultative Conference finally came to a successful conclusion, and Wen Desi delivered the closing speech of the conference.Then it was announced that all the representatives would be entertained at night, and there would be entertainment performances.

The evening banquet was held in the commercial hall in Dongmen City.The lobby of the shop came in handy.The hall, which was originally a rough room, was decorated for this meeting, and the interior decoration was carefully arranged by Dongmen Chuyu and Dugu. In order to let the aborigines in this time and space experience and experience beyond the level of material civilization of the times, they will have a worship mentality and enrich themselves. Chenglun once again acted as a provider of modern goods. Despite the fierce opposition from the navy, Dugu proposed to lead someone to remove the chandeliers, decorative paintings, and wall tapestries in the banquet hall on Fengchenglun... The interior decoration of the banquet hall of the commercial building.

According to Dongmen Chuiyu's idea, it is also planned to pave the floor with natural stone such as marble, but the machinery for cutting stone is currently in short supply, and no one will do this, so in the end the traditional square brick floor was maintained— ―It was decorated with the corridor red carpet obtained from Fengcheng Wheel.

Since Xiao Zishan is the director of the general office, he handles all these matters.It is naturally convenient to prepare a banquet for more than 300 representatives in the modern time and space, everything is ready-made, here you have to do everything yourself.At present, thousands of pieces of porcelain tableware have been cleared from the seized spoils of Goujiazhuang. The chopsticks are easy to say, and the woodware factory can process them immediately.In terms of food, it feels more difficult.Although there is no shortage of vegetables now, meat, eggs, poultry and fat are all in short supply.Lin Quanfu went out urgently to buy some chickens, ducks and live pigs, so the dishes had to be mainly fish and shrimp.The Ministry of Maritime Forces sent a lot of fresh fish and shrimp frozen with ice made by the ship's cold storage.Fortunately, there is no shortage of seasonings and spices in the cafeteria at the moment, and they can be made in a variety of colors.

In order to show his grandeur, he specially made a huge piece of salt ice in the cold storage of Fengcheng Wheel and sent it to the shop. Now this piece of ice has been carved into a lion by the best local stonemason—he can only carve this.

This ice lion stands on a table in the center of the banquet hall like this, shining brightly under the light of the chandelier and emitting white steam. The ice sculptures are surrounded by the ice sculptures picked by the long-distance exploration team from the Li District and the Gaoshanling Mountains. All kinds of tropical fruits and flowers are colorfully decorated.Whether it is a plate or a vase, all glassware produced by the glass factory is used.

Where have the representatives seen this before?And the extravagance is far beyond their imagination!But what surprised them the most was not the ice sculptures and glassware, but the glass chandeliers hanging above their heads, continuously emitting soft and bright light.

The delegates had long heard from rumors that the camp of the shorthairs shone brightly every night, a light that even eclipsed the starry sky and the moonlight.At this moment, almost everyone was staring at the chandelier, feeling a little mesmerized.

"Everyone, let's sit, let's sit." Wu De greeted everyone, which made everyone wake up and sit down one after another.

Because the table used is the local Eight Immortals table, there are eight people for one table, and there are not many dishes. The standard is six dishes and one soup - which is quite simple according to the banquet standards of the Ming Dynasty.However, because the dishes used are fresh, everyone is also very satisfied, especially the baijiu served, which is extremely mellow, which is much better than the local earthen fire.At the beginning, the representatives were still a little cautious, but then Wu De and others took turns to persuade them to drink. After a few drinks, the atmosphere suddenly became lively.

"I didn't expect this hair-short hair to be so good at making wine!" A gentry couldn't help but sighed.

"Yeah, I just can't figure it out." Another representative said, "Looking at their food and clothing expenses, even the rich and powerful in Guangzhou may not be able to match it. Why don't they stay in their hometown instead of traveling thousands of miles to come here?" Our poor country."

"It can be seen that their houses are all very small, and they like to build buildings, probably because the land is small and there are many people."

"I think they are short of women." A squire drank a few more glasses, blinked his eyes, and laughed obscenely, "Look at those real guys, they are basically men, and women still give orders. It's not that they lack women. Let the girls push their noses on their faces?"

Everyone burst into laughter, even claiming yes.
