The busy days always flew fast, and in a flash, it was the fifth day that the Birkelon family came to Miami.

In five days, they organized the family, got to know their neighbors, and selected every potato distributed to them. The whole family worked together to cultivate three acres of fertile land.

The atmosphere of the elk woodland is very good.

Although my father heard that every colonial village would be accompanied by **** power struggles in the early stages of opening up, the winners seized most of the living resources, and the losers often lost their lives together, but this kind of thing happened five times after the Birkelon family settled down. It didn't happen once in the sky.

Everyone is very friendly. Sophia played with the children in the village without being bullied. Raul had friends of the same age, and those who came first knew everything about who came later.

Mr. Tula’s family is the first family in the village and has moved here for three months. During the two days when Manager Arhan went on strike, he acted for a short period of village chiefs under the election of the whole village, showing a conscientious and conscientious character.

He once brought together the family heads of the village and asked everyone to cherish the stable life in front of them.

Mr. Tula said that the plan for the Elk Woodland is 36 self-cultivating farmers plus four farms. Now 23 homes are divided by self-farming farmers, and none of the farms have been sold.

However, the farm’s area ranges from 100 acres to more than 300 acres. Once moved in, the owner must be a rich person with small savings.

It’s impossible for an industryless like them to fight against rich and powerful farmers. They should continue to make the elk woodland as harmonious as it is now. Their only chance is to unite and hold the meeting before the first farm enters the house. The villagers' assembly has worked out a basis for the village agreement that is beneficial to the majority.

Mr. Tula went to Mailang Township to inquire about the villagers' meeting. For accuracy, he even spent two gold coins to consult with the lawyer in the township.

First of all, the Constitution of the General Assembly drawn up by the Drake Chamber of Commerce and City Hall is beneficial to the wealthy.

The articles of association allow the purchase of votes, and the price of the votes shall be negotiated by both parties.

The conference will also announce the donations of each household to the village management fund. The donations of real money and silver will definitely affect the final ballot results.

However, the regulations still leave opportunities for the majority of the poor.

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

The 40 households planned to move into the Elk Woodland have now exceeded the requirements of the agreement. As long as they unite, they can hold the first village meeting before the rich move in.

Second, the term of office of the villagers committee is three years, unless the member resigns or violates the law.

This means that the committee elected by them can decide many things in three years, turning the elk woodlands into a paradise for the proletarians.

Third, even if the committee members were captured by the wealthy people later, the first committee was disbanded ahead of schedule, and the village rules that were originally negotiated must be revised with two-thirds support in the conference. The majority of proletarians still have a large number of proletarians. say.

The key is the initial appointment of the village regulations!

Mr. Tula is very inciting, and it is rare for the Elk Woodland to meet the conditions of the agreement meeting and still have no farms to move in.

The villagers were persuaded by Mr. Tula that even his father gave up his plan to go to Mailang Township to find a job right away and stayed in the village waiting for the first meeting.

On the evening of January 4th, taking advantage of the village manager’s strike, the immigrants from the Elk Woodland convened the first informal assembly.

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

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

The villagers elected the preparatory committee for the conference. Mr. Tula who moved in for three months, Mr. Burris for two months, Mr. Robik for one month, Mr. Burkron who had just moved in, and Mr. Chacha who was the only Indian nationality were selected. For the preparatory 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 those farmers who have never been exposed to rights, the opinions of professionals are obviously more valuable.

On January 8, the immigrants of the Elk Woodland collected six gold and nine pence (one octagonal gold coin = 1/8 pound = 30 pence). The ardent expectation of all the villagers solemnly embarked on the journey to Mailang Township.

...

Mailang Township is located in the center of the largest plain in Tianyuan District, with undulating hills in the north and south, the wide Miami River in the southwest, and the powerful Indian tribal alliance and the habitat of the Black Feather Alliance on the opposite bank of the river.

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

The Drake Chamber of Commerce acquired the land in Miami that year, and the area they sold accounted for one-third of the entire Miami, 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. There are more than 8,000 young men and women of Kurobabe sweating on the construction sites in Miami, and their unique and weird accents can be heard everywhere.

Therefore, Mailang Township was regarded as the front line, the city hall regarded her as the front line to defend against the invasion of Kurobabe, and the Drake Chamber of Commerce regarded her as the front line for recruiting labor.

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

Mailang Township Office. This four-story wooden structure building is built on the only stone road in Mailang Township. At the end of Plaza Street, there are rows of houses nearby, including district halls, chapels, shops, schools, tax stations, and postal stations. And the police station are built here.

A negotiation is going on in the meeting hall of the town hall. One party is Zogo Kao and his Indian affairs team, and the other party is a delegation of the Black Feather tribe headed by the young patriarch and elder of the Black Feather Tribe.

Young Minister Yixinqi wears a tribal-style vulture crest, and his face is painted with five-color oil paint, with a solemn expression.

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

Zhuo Ge wears an Indian-style wolf leather jacket, has a wide chest, sleeveless, and a leopard tattoo on his shoulders. His face is clean and he does not wear a crown.

He took a sip of coffee and looked up in time.

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

"You indulge the Spaniards stationing troops in Miami, and you seduce our people!" The young patriarch slapped his hand on the table. "In the past few months, 186 Indians have left the tribe, most of them are young people in their twenties. , This has a bad influence on the tribe!"

Zhuo Ge let out a smile: "This is simply nonsense."

"Spain officially recognizes the status of Miami. Now Miami is a Spanish town and is recognized and sheltered by the Florida Governor's Mansion. The Spaniards have the right to garrison troops in their own towns, just like the young patriarch has the right to garrison troops in his tribe. ."

"The Miami Development Office fully considered the feelings of Kurobabe. 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. Immigration regulations do not restrict anyone's voluntary will or emphasize the privileges of white people. This is fair."

"There are more than 13,000 people in the Kuroba Division who live in Miami sheds because of their work. Among them, 8361 people work for Miami. More than 70% are dispatched by your ministry and settled in a unified manner."

"They are familiar with Miami and choose to become Miami residents based on this familiarity. This is their freedom. We did not seduce anyone, or if we want to seduce, there are far more people applying for Miami residence. "

"What's more, as far as I know, there are more than 370 Kurobabes who are naturalized in Miami, most of them settled in the Tahara district, but fewer than 200 have really escaped from Kurobabe."

"Miami’s law does not oppose the loyalty and tribal ownership of the Indians in Miami. Just like me, I am both a Miami and Oldman of Shark’s Tooth. My tribe has 393 households and more than 1,500 people, and established a community in Bayou Town. , I have joined two townships and 14 villages scattered, but their loyalty to Miami has never affected their loyalty to me~lightnovelpub.net~ Population separation is your problem, you should reflect on yourself, see See if you should change, instead of complaining that we give you treatment that you can’t give.”

"We did not set any special bait. Miami Indians are treated the same as Miami whites and Miami blacks. They are neither generous nor special."

The young patriarch gritted his teeth: "Zogo Kao, you are a traitor to the Indians!"

"I'm just like every Oldman in Miskito, trying to fight for fairness for my people in the white world."

Zhuo Ge's tone was flat, but his eyes flashed with an invisible bitterness that the young patriarch could not understand.

"The white people have already arrived. If you can't drive them away, you should learn how to coexist with them."

"Are you inviting a war?"

"War?" Zhuo Ge's eyes swept across the elders around the young patriarch. At least half of the elders lowered their heads with a guilty conscience, "If you and your father want Kurobabe to perish in your hands, come on. !"
