New Ming Empire mixed in America

"Long live Lord...Long live Lord, the immigration ship is back!"

Liu Erhe ran to Li Mingqi who was fishing with a Jin Yiwei and said excitedly.

"Long live my Lord, a merchant ship from San Francisco just now said that our fleet has arrived in San Francisco."

Hearing Liu Erhe's words, Li Mingqi threw down the fishing rod and said, "Just come back, haha. Let's go, let's go and make preparations for the reception."

After saying that, he stood up and walked out of the special fishing pier.

Liu Youcai had people build a hidden dock here with a pavilion, a lounge and two speedboats parked here.

A wall was built on the outside to surround the place covering an area of ​​more than 30 acres.

There are patrols here all year round, and each team of Jinyi Guards is stationed in rotation to ensure that there are more than thirty Jinyi Guards on duty here at all times.

As for why the defense is so tight, firstly, it is because Li Mingqi spends most of his leisure time here.

The second reason is that this place has become Li Mingqi's last retreat.

Once the dock is lost and the National Defense Force is annihilated, Li Mingqi can leave by boat from here and hunt west again!

In order to welcome the arrival of new immigrants, Li Mingqi can be said to have started making preparations as soon as he got off the ship.

It was originally a container house in the Xinming camp, but was later given to these people to live in due to the arrival of Chinese from the West Coast.

The current resettlement site for the immigrants is the newly established resettlement area near the dock, where the immigrants will spend the first month of their new life after arriving in the Xinming Empire.

Across the road from the resettlement area is the residential area of ​​the Xinming Empire.

This residential area is not only equipped with schools, hospitals, parks, but also a library that can be said to have the most complete collection of books in this era.

During this period, the construction of the Xinming Empire Highway was more than half over, and it has now been built from Long Beach to the fork between the Industrial Zone and Qingren Street.

The main body of the shipyard in the dock area has begun construction and is expected to be completed in February next year.

What makes Li Mingqi most satisfied is that the wireless base station has covered the entire Yingtianfu area.

Now the Xinming Empire has implemented the plan to connect radio stations to every village, so that all the people of the empire can listen to the important speeches of His Majesty Li Mingqi.

During your leisure time, you can also listen to domestic and foreign news, such as: talking about the suffering life of the people in California next door, and talking about the rapid changes of the New Ming Empire.

After asking Liu Youcai to prepare for the immigrants, Li Mingqi began to think about the feasibility of running a telegraph line from San Francisco to Yingtianfu.

The straight-line distance from San Francisco to Yingtianfu is about 559.75 kilometers. If there is any location that is not suitable for erecting lines, this length is estimated to be doubled.

But in this case, it is better to go all out to build the railway from Yingtianfu to San Francisco. Anyway, the white workers have already started to build it.

If we hire some workers from San Francisco and start construction in multiple places at the same time, the progress should be accelerated.

So the Xin Ming Empire California Railway Freight Company, which he founded in order to suppress the Stanford family, really needs to be put into operation.

However, there are still too few relevant talents on hand, and even the young people in the Royal Academy have been replaced twice.

This also caused Zhang Yu, who was the president of the Royal Academy of Sciences, to come to Li Mingqi and complain several times.

However, the empire is really in short supply of talent. If we don’t put the various departments in the empire in order before the new immigrants arrive, it will be difficult to manage when there are too many people.

Some of the young people from before have already begun to participate in all aspects of empire building after a short period of training.

For example, basic jobs such as becoming the village chief or the manager of various factories.

There is no way, these young people have all become monks halfway. Although they have gone through a period of training, they are still too far behind to stand alone.

The Royal Academy, which was built together with the Umbrella School, has already been completed. This school, where Li Mingqi personally serves as the principal, has already absorbed all the outstanding 'young talents' in night schools in the Xinming Empire.

At this time, most of the teachers in the school were still employed part-time by Jinyiwei, and a small number were talented teachers selected from among the students.

Moreover, these students also participated in the compilation of the first law of the Xinming Empire.

The specific job content is to find typos and other errors in the law that Jin Yiwei, Liu Youcai, and the two Juren mayors have passed through.

Although the level of participation is not deep, it is mainly enough to familiarize these young people with the law.

The laws of the Xinming Empire were not as standardized as those of later generations, and were not specific to every article or paragraph.

Because Li Mingqi does not want a group of professions to emerge in the future to exploit legal loopholes - "litigation sticks".

Most of the laws of the Xinming Empire were relatively vague.

For example, the article "Ling Chi is the one who kidnapped and trafficked the people of the empire" will not leave any loopholes for some of the weird remarks of later generations.

Because it also says after this article: All participants will be punished with the same crime as the principal criminal! (This includes those who express sympathy for traffickers, endorse traffickers, and distort facts)

Similar to this one, there are also laws specially prepared for smokers who came from the Puppet Qing Dynasty.

The "smokers" of the Xinming Empire at this time were not the Huazi smokers of later generations. They were referring to the popular cigarettes during the Puppet Qing Dynasty.

The laws of the empire stipulate that anyone who sells tobacco will be punished by the Nine Tribes, and anyone who participates in the trade will be punished by the Three Tribes!

Participating in selling refers to those who profit from it. If you buy it and smoke it yourself, it will not be so serious. At most, you will die!

However, if a heavy smoker surrenders to the relevant departments of the empire, at most he will be forced to detoxify for the first time, and it will be serious if he offends again.

Li Mingqi wanted to take advantage of the time when the empire was first established to find a legal system unique to the Xinming Empire.

This process may be long, and there may even be some twists and turns, but Li Mingqi will not give up.

In his mind, law classes will be set up in the upper grades of primary schools and classified as main subjects in order to minimize the crime rate of juveniles in the future.

Moreover, future teachers must undergo political review. He did not want any disgusting things like those in schools in slave states to happen.

At this time, the Xinming Empire temporarily implemented military control, which meant using the army to maintain public order.

But this is not a long-term solution after all, so Li Mingqi plans to select some people from the militia to form a patrol bureau when there are more people, and then use police officers to replace soldiers to maintain public security.

In fact, although it sounds simple, it is absolutely unrealistic for Li Mingqi to handle everything personally.

Therefore, the Xinming Empire is now establishing whatever it lacks. For example, the dock area lacks a department dedicated to dealing with white merchants, so the Xinming Empire's version of customs appeared.

The customs officers are also very simple, that is, they just pick a person from the school who is more pleasing to the eye and give him a customs official position and corresponding information.

Then there is no further solution. The customs staff will find their own personnel and the regulations will be explored by themselves.

Li Mingqi planned to wait until the student had everything sorted out before transferring him back to the school as a teacher so that he could teach more customs talents.

But so far, no one has emerged who can smooth things over at the customs. Instead, three people with serious corruption have been shot.

It’s really hard to learn well and learn bad quickly.

Li Mingqi has never been merciless towards such people and dealt with them one by one.

Li Mingqi couldn't imagine what these guys who dared to stretch out their hands when the empire was first established would be like in the future.
