Chapter 110 The most primitive election method
Xu Xingxia said with a serious expression: "Of course I know you are not a person who makes money. I guess he won't appear here either. I am very happy that everyone trusts me so much. I don't have other skills, but I still have the ability to kill Tartars, and I have the ability to make money. I hope that the life of Weizhenbao will get better and better in the future!"
"Smack!"
The military households responded with warm applause.
Xu Xingxia's two abilities are so attractive to the military households.
Xu Xingxia's tone turned cold and said in a deep voice: "However, I believe everyone has realized that our prospects are not very optimistic. Our safety is actually not fully guaranteed. We have only gotten back a small part of the money and food we have been owed. There is still a long way to go in the future, and there are still many hills to cross. However, no matter what, I firmly believe that the fate of Weizhenbao must be in our own hands. Passively waiting for the rescue from the superior is very unreliable. The last example fully proves this."
This sentence once again goes to the hearts of the military households. In fact, the situation of Weizhen Fort is quite embarrassing. As an affiliated existence of Pinglu City, Weizhen Fort does not have its own special army. Ordinary military households cannot be regarded as army at all. Only war soldiers or armed servants can be called army. In case of Tartars, they can only be the military households temporarily pick up weapons to block everything, and then wait for Pinglu City or Ningxia City to send troops to rescue.
To be honest, this kind of operation is indeed very dangerous. If reinforcements are not arrived in time, Weizhen Fort will be over. Such a tragedy has happened many times before. Since you can't wait and rely on it, you can only find a way. Fortunately, with Xu Xingxia, the backbone, there is no big resistance to many things when operating.
Xu Xingxia actually understood the meaning of the meaning, that is, to separate the Weizhen Fort from the affiliation of Pinglu City and no longer rely on Pinglu City to survive. To put it more specifically, it is to have its own army, its own industry, and even a special way to make money. Even if a large number of Tartars arrive, the Weizhen Fort can survive on its own strength. Such a Weizhen Fort is exactly what every military household expects.
Xu Xingxia waved her hand and said bluntly: "Now, everyone will start to select candidates for the General Banner."
He had already prepared the ballot box. The so-called ballot box is actually thirty big sea bowls. The name of a person is written in front of each big sea bowl. These people are all the backbone military households of Weizhen Fort. The so-called backbone military households are people with specialties in some aspects or are more popular. The list of these thirty people is the result of Xu Xingxia discussing with his father, uncle and others. Although some personal prejudice may not be comprehensive enough, in general, the more capable military households of Weizhen Fort have been included.
"All those who have read the name will stand up!" Xu Xingxia said with a cold expression.
He called the military households on the list one by one to the front, and each person sent a sea bowl and a black cloth strip. The sea bowl was used to hold it in his hands and was ready to hold "votes". The military households were illiterate, and the names on the sea bowl were not enough, which would be messed up. The candidates had to stand here in a real way to tell who was who.
Black cloth strips are used to cover their eyes, so that they can't see who votes for themselves and who doesn't vote for themselves. For voters, there is not much psychological pressure and there is no need to consider too much personal relationships. This is the most primitive method of secret balloting. Of course, there may be a better way, but Xu Xingxia did not expect it for the time being.
In addition to these thirty candidate backbone military households, Xu Xingxia also issued a stone for each other military household. These stones were soaked with special dyes by craftsmen and could not be counterfeited in a short period of time. These stones are the most primitive votes. Each military household has only one stone, in other words, at most one person can only be selected. The person with the largest number of votes will be appointed to temporary positions according to their height.
"Be careful, whoever you want to elect, put down the stones in whose bowl. Pay attention, come up from here and go out from there. Don't go out from the middle. Everyone must throw the stones in their hands into the bowl. Be careful, only throw stones, and not take stones from other people's bowls!" Xu Xingxia said with a serious expression.
Obviously, this is a very interesting election. Whether it is elected or elected, they all felt quite novel, and everyone's interest came up. Even some military households who stood out began to greet their relatives in a low voice and asked them to choose themselves. However, Xu Xingxia soon discovered this phenomenon, and with a glance, no one dared to say anything.
In the past, Weizhen Fort had never had such an election format. The military households were holding stones and were undecided and had a look of eagerness to try. The thirty people standing in front of them and thirty sea bowls were really hard to choose the one they like the most! There must be many people who would throw stones to their relatives. Of course, there will be many exceptions.
This kind of election without any propaganda actually has many congenital deficiencies. However, it doesn't matter. Xu Xingxia does not need a very perfect election process. What he needs is only a relatively convincing result. Otherwise, he would have designated six general flags according to his own wishes.
"Start now!"
"First! Come up!"
Xu Xingxia stood beside her and shouted loudly.
The military households went up one after another, walked past the thirty candidates, put down the stones in front of someone, and then quickly left. Most of the stones in the sea bowls were gradually increasing. Of course, there were also several sea bowls with almost no stones. For the military households, it was indeed quite difficult to consider who the only stones were thrown to. No outsiders knew how they made a judgment.
"The vote ends!"
Xu Xingxia announced in a deep voice.
Soon, everyone threw the stones in their hands.
Xu Xingxia personally counted that the number of stones was Chen Denglong. Well, he was a good man, and his popularity in Weizhenbao was indeed good. If there was no better choice, the military households would rather vote for him. Liu Guangliang was the second one. He was also quite popular. In addition, he was a craftsman and a full-time carpenter. He often made furniture and repaired houses for everyone, which was more popular. Of course, he was also benefited from Xu Xingxia. For Xu Xingxia's sake, many people voted for him.
The third one is Zhang Quanfu's father, Zhang Yunda. He did not get votes with popularity, but won everyone's respect for his ability to raise horses. He has a strong horse-raising ability, especially treating various horse diseases. He is very good at treating Tartar war horses seized by Niujiaodun were all handed over to him. The Dayuan horses that Xu Xingxia grabbed were also a full-time service for Zhang Yunda. It can be said that he is the number one groom in Weizhenbao.
The next three are also famous and capable people in Weizhen Fort. Lei Hongguo is also a horsewoman and his horse raising skills are also good. Compared with Zhang Yunda, he also has a special ability, which is to focus on the breeding and mating of horses. The foal he cultivated has always been very popular in Weizhen Fort. Deng Linyong is a good player in farming fields, and the military households are happy to ask him about the problems on the fields.
Lin Dacheng's father Lin Hainiu happened to be ranked sixth. He was not a craftsman, but he was a very good plasterer. He could be regarded as a craftsman who became a monk halfway through the journey. In addition to being a plasterer, he also worked as a butcher. At that time, the profession of butcher was quite promising. There was no other reason, that his family could eat some meat from time to time. Although it was leftover meat that no one wanted, it was always not good to eat.
The election that Xu Xingxia suddenly caught the military households off guard. The military households did not know how to canvass votes and bribe them. Therefore, the elected people were all real and capable people. The list of general flags elected in the end was not much different from the list Xu Xingxia originally wanted to directly designate. It seems that his opinions are still similar to those of most military households.
"Okay! Now, I announce! The six general flags are Chen Denglong, Liu Guangliang, Zhang Yunda, Lei Hongguo, Deng Linyong, and Lin Hainiu! Although you are not the real general flag and do not have the money and food for the general flag, I believe that as long as you do your own things well, in the future, I will definitely make you all the real general flags! I still say the same thing, those who do things can be promoted and made a fortune, and those who do not do things will stand aside!" Xu Xingxia said strongly.
His words were actually a huge bait. He could not expect that the military households in Weizhenbao were all communists, who had a high level of awareness, only seeking contributions, not seeking. For military households, interests and honors were the most important. Their most urgent expectation was to improve their lives and change their destiny.
Only by firmly binding their interests with their own interests can they become their most loyal supporters and their most solid support. Xu Xingxia believes that with this bait, even if the superiors designate other households to manage Weizhen Fort, they will not be able to win the support of these military households. Weizhen Fort is ultimately his territory.
