America 1881: They Call Me Legend

Chapter 299 New Roswell's First Official Meeting

October, Roswell, Assembly Hall.

The new town is holding its first collective meeting since its re-establishment.

Just last month, the number of residents with legal status in the town exceeded 1,000.

As a resident representative, Chen Jianqiu applied to the state government to re-establish the town of Roswell.

In order to show his generosity, Scott took the initiative to introduce this bill in the state Assembly.

Although some people questioned that the proportion of Chinese-American residents in this town was too high, they were quickly pushed back by Republican state legislators.

The town, rooted in the oil fields, pays taxes to the state.

Are they asking for independence or autonomy? Or are they refusing entry to other races? The sign "Roswell Welcomes You" is still standing at the entrance to the town, written in three languages: English, Spanish, and Chinese.

It fully embodies the constitutional spirit of equality and freedom.

New Mexico is not California, nor is it Texas.

"Honest man." Holly beeped in a low voice, and then was lightly patted on the head by Theresa next to him.

The meeting hall fell into silence. Everyone was looking at Chen Jianqiu who was looking up at the ceiling, wondering what he was thinking.

We are all legal citizens, so what’s wrong with building a town in a deserted area near the border? Are you eating your flour?

Astor's advice to him was to open a small bank by himself and apply for a license from the state government. Anyway, he had money and prestige in Lincoln County.

Sitting to his left and right were Dylan's lawyer, who also had no official identity, and Camilla, who was wearing red.

As a result, the application to build a town was quickly approved.

Chen Jianqiu left this matter to Abiot, who was going to Santa Fe soon anyway.

"About five to six hundred people." Dylan replied, "I compiled it based on the information reported by both sides."

Mentioning Santa Fe, Chen Jianqiu suddenly thought of that old fox.

"Only corn is growing well, but wheat is not so good." Zhang Danian shook his head, "Young Master, you may still have to get food from outside."

Hanging on the wall is a map of Roswell's surroundings.

One of them is acting as Chen Jianqiu's staff behind the scenes because of Scott, while the other is the actual top leader of the Longxiang group.

So Roswell's new tax collector started running back and forth making tea and passing melon seeds to everyone.

He crossed his hands and said earnestly to Holly: "Your father is an upright and sincere man."

The American commander who succeeded Crook, Nelson Miles, adopted a contraction strategy, which limited the effect of Geronimo's raids on the border, and the Indian offensive was temporarily weakened.

"Everyone drinks tea! Everyone drinks tea!" Chen Jianqiu shouted to Li Sifu: "Make tea for everyone and try some of China's specialties. Bring out the melon seeds as well."

Clinic Manager——Teresa

Roswell Refinery Union Chairman - Niu San

Chen Jianqiu looked at the ceiling.

Only the black people were left speechless.

A skylight was opened there, and the sun shone in through the skylight and shone on the wall behind him.

"Uncle Danian, how's the harvest in the experimental field?" Chen Jianqiu suddenly noticed the silent Zhang Danian, "I'll go to the field with you after the meeting to take a look."

After his last board meeting, he wrote a letter to Astor asking about the incomplete purge of Santa Fe Railroad Co.'s equity and the slow flow of funds in his hands.

"Well, five to six hundred people, that's about twenty people a day." Chen Jianqiu made a rough calculation and nodded, "Tell them not to worry and not to take too many at once, otherwise they will attract the attention of the federal immigration bureau.

"

"Does he think we are Pinkerton?" Chen Jianqiu curled his lips, "Even Pinkerton has no reason to handle cases across borders, right?"

The shirt and tie choked him.

"These people are all hungry people who have had enough to eat." He thought of a certain person's face for no reason.

While Scott was flipping through the newspaper in his office one day, he suddenly saw a photo of himself and his brother on the table, and he immediately felt sad.

"Okay." Dylan's answer was very brief.

What's more, the mayor they elected was a white man named Danny.

Abiot took a sip of the tea on the table and seemed to feel quite good about this drink.

In addition, there are several people who are not official, but are also important figures:

Chen Jianqiu tore open the envelope, unfolded the letter paper, and started reading.

"How's it going Scott?"

"How many people in California and New Mexico have obtained legal status this month?" Chen Jianqiu picked up the teacup in his hand, brought it to his mouth and took a sip.

During this period of time, he did not miss any of the incense that he should wear.

After much deliberation, he still felt that Chen Jianqiu was the most reliable.

"No, I told you before that I'm not the mayor." Danny rolled his eyes at Chen Jianqiu. He was very unaccustomed to wearing formal clothes.

United Sheriff, Roswell Four - Wyatt, Holiday, Hanif, Abiot

Although the area is large, there is currently not much land to farm.

"He has recently been paying attention to the civilian movement. The power of this group of people is spreading in the western states and is on the rise in New Mexico. It poses a certain threat to the Republican Party." Abiot stretched his waist.

Vice Captain——Holly

"He wants Thiago dead."

Their rifles were sold to Texas, but the competition they faced was also very fierce, and new products and sales expansion were needed in the future.

Postmaster - Sean

The depressing atmosphere in the conference hall was relieved for a while, and the internal meeting turned into a tea party.

They are respectively:

Mayor——Danny

Everyone began to discuss matters within their respective purviews.

"Hey, no matter in terms of age or other aspects, you are the most suitable candidate." Chen Jianqiu smiled brightly.

Chairman of the Agricultural Association——Zhang Danian

But they all sat in sequence along both sides of the long table. The person who really sat at the head of the long table was Chen Jianqiu, who had no official position.

The residents of Lincoln County, closest to Roswell, didn't say anything. You people are full of food?

This tea was brought back from San Francisco and it actually tastes pretty good.

He thought of something, and like Sean, he took out a letter from his pocket: "Oh, by the way, he has assigned us another task."

Browning and the others were in retreat for research and development, but Holmes told them about the situation in the military factory.

"Well, Astor IV wrote a letter." Sean took out a letter from his bag and passed it to Chen Jianqiu from the table.

Roswell Evening School Principal——Holmes

Everyone continued to discuss the problem, and before they knew it, it was lunch time.

Tax Officer——Li Sifu

The actual captain of the Border Patrol——Asuka

Zhang Danian sighed: "It's still not good. Even if the water from the canal can be used for irrigation, the soil is still too poor."

Now, the leadership team of Roswell Town is sitting around the long table in the council hall.

It seems that achieving food self-sufficiency is really not an easy task.

"Danny, how does it feel to be the mayor?" Chen Jianqiu suddenly looked away from the skylight and joked to Danny beside him.

"Where is he now?" Chen Jianqiu thought for a moment and asked.

Abiot looked at Wyatt, and Wyatt looked at Asuka.

As a member of the border patrol, Feiniao has been tracking this person's whereabouts.

He pointed to a place on the map behind Chen Jianqiu.

"At the "Northern Pass" (Spanish: EI Paso del Norte, present-day Juarez, the name was changed in 1888, and the following text is called Juarez for convenience of description)"
