Chapter 249 Forming a Government
In the next week, everyone in the base was mobilized, mainly divided into several waves. One wave of people was led by Tom and was responsible for installing the power system, and the other wave of people was led by Abraham and Jerry. Power companies transport photovoltaic panels and battery packs, as well as some equipment necessary for power systems.
Another group of people, led by Rick and Sean, went to companies on the edge of Atlanta to look for boilers and heating equipment.
This is not a good time to go out, but these people who are well prepared are not too worried.
After excluding the security personnel and daily maintenance personnel of the base, almost all the remaining personnel joined the project of building new dormitories.
Ula Ula, hundreds of people poured into the construction site. When did Dekman bring so many people? They were very busy at first, but Lu Jiayi simply mentioned one thing and the situation gradually stabilized.
Because the style of the dormitory is similar to a capsule apartment design, the entire dormitory area is 100 meters long, 50 meters wide, and five stories tall, slightly shorter than the city wall. The style of each household is exactly the same.
Lu Jiayi’s suggestions were followed in the design, and a single-layer bed with a length and width of two meters was built. It’s not that bunk beds are not good, but that single-layer beds have a function that bunk beds can never surpass: heating!
That's right, many people should have understood at this point that it is the fire kang that is still in use in the north of Yan Kingdom.
Just when Lu Jiayi was demonstrating it to everyone, people still didn't understand what he was doing and why he wanted to make a spiral passage under the bed.
"This is a flue, which literally means a passage that allows smoke to pass through."
Seeing everyone's confused look, Lu Jiayi didn't explain too much and told everyone not to be careless. This thing will be of great use in the future.
People also started making it like this without realizing it.
Because the hot pots in several rooms are connected together, it is necessary to leave ventilation openings in advance when building the wall, not only at the bottom, but also for the air conditioning above. The room is much larger than the original prison room. The room is twenty square meters, including a bedroom and a bathroom.
The dormitory area is ultimately planned to have more than a thousand rooms and is expected to accommodate 3,000 people.
But there is no need for so many rooms at the moment, so it will be enough to complete more than five hundred rooms first.
The area where the prison was originally located will also need to be overhauled. The innermost warehouse and garage will be moved out, and a large part of the area will be transformed into an accommodation area, similar to the accommodation area in the outer courtyard. Eventually, the inner walls of the entire base will become a castle that can accommodate more than 10,000 people!
Although everyone was hesitant about Lu Jiayi's transformation plan, they were all willing to believe in him.
"Don't worry, we will never live in such a cramped small room all day long in the future. Once we develop, it will not be difficult to take back downtown Atlanta. It is even possible to develop into nearby cities or seaside cities. Yes, by then we can even open shipping lanes and start trade with other countries. This is all part of my plan.”
Lu Jiayi has painted a huge pie for everyone, but it is not a blank promise. He is confident that he can achieve these goals.
The days passed in such busyness, and in a blink of an eye, it was the day of the first all-member meeting of Ideal Town.
This morning, all base members put down their work and came to the main square of the base.
More than a thousand people sat down facing the high platform that had been built. Today, not only will the development plan for the next period of time be announced, but also the establishment of various departments in Ideal Town, as well as the heads of these departments, etc. will be announced.
"Everyone, today is the first general meeting of our ideal town. I don't want to say some inexplicable and offensive speech. Let's get straight to the point."
"The main purpose of calling everyone here today is to form a formal government organization and elect the person in charge of each department."
Wow!
There was a round of applause and cheers from the audience, and it was clear that everyone was looking forward to this conference.
Seeing the enthusiasm of the survivors in the audience, Lu Jiayi stopped writing.
"Because the current environment we are in is quite special, the departments we can set up will also be limited. We can only deal with special cases according to the current situation. After our discussions, the base will only set up some necessary departments at present, including Government offices, education and health, agriculture, planning, military industry, police stations, logistics, and a formal army will also be established for everyone."
"These are the departments we have discussed so far. Next, everyone can vote to decide the directors of these departments. Those who have outstanding abilities can also self-recommend. Finally, there will be a competency assessment, and then there will be a secondary vote. We We will do our best to help you select the most suitable person.”
"I want to explain to you in advance that we will directly appoint those who have demonstrated their abilities as heads of various departments at the base. Next, I will announce the appointments of existing personnel."
As he spoke, he picked up a piece of paper in front of him. On it were the current appointments to various positions in the base.
Appoint Rick as the police chief and Sean as the deputy chief, with thirty police officers under his command.
Hershel was appointed as Minister of Agriculture, with the deputy minister to be determined, ten subordinate team members and 200 related teams.
Appoint Mr. and Mrs. Jenner as Minister and Deputy Minister of Health, with 20 subordinate team members and 20 relevant trainees.
Guillermo was appointed as the head of the logistics department, with a hundred team members under his command.
Appointed Scott as Minister of Education, with ten teachers under his command.
Master Piarouse is appointed as the special technical adviser to the Ministry of Military Industry. The minister is to be determined, with a technical team of ten people and a technician team of thirty people.
Lu Jiayi was appointed as the commander of the military department, with one battalion commander, four company commanders, 12 platoon commanders, and 50 squad leaders. The total number of soldiers was 500.
The army has the largest number of people and the most detailed classification. Because there are many people and many right and wrong, this can leave everyone with sufficient room for promotion and stop their mouths.
…
"The last step is the appointment of the main government departments. I want to leave this to everyone to select. Everyone will vote enthusiastically. There will be a selection at the end to elect the most suitable manager."
The voting was extremely dull, with more than a thousand people voting and counting lasting for more than an hour.
By the time the statistics were finished, a group of people in the square had fallen asleep, and the rest were also drowsy.
Rick glanced at the audience calmly, made an obscure gesture with his hands under the table, and then whispered a few words to the people around him with a normal expression.
Lu Jiayi, who was sitting in the middle, looked listless and sleepy. After more than ten minutes, even Rick and the others were lying on the table.
The dozen or so people who were counting the votes suddenly stopped what they were doing and looked at the situation in the square in unison, with a smile of success on their faces.
At this time, several figures stood up from the crowd in the square. They took out pistols from behind and slowly walked towards the podium.
The leading man took a dagger from the person beside him, with an evil smile on his face.
"Let the dance begin!"
