  Chapter 536 June Agreement

  ps: Update in advance, something tonight

"This is…"

  Gilbert felt like he really passed out. All this seemed so dreamy. With it, he reckoned that the things he had been worrying about for several months would be resolved.

   I saw that it read: Colonial Construction Regulations.

   Under the signature, His Majesty Edward and His Excellency the Prime Minister signed.

  After driving the others away, Gilbert couldn't wait to sit on the chair and read it seriously. Andrews sat on the chair, took off his coat, and read Gilbert's governor's diary with relish.

   An hour passed, Gilbert sighed deeply, and then looked happy.

  With this set of plans, he no longer has to worry about building a colony in this way.

   "Go, Andrews, I have something important to do now, you come to be a witness!"

   Holding the dazed-faced Andrews by the hand, Gilbert felt more energetic and more energetic in his work.

   "Go, let everyone gather!" Gilbert told the orderly.

   Immediately, the orderly agreed, and then beat the drum, calling for everyone to gather.

   "What's going on?" The carpenter who was working looked up and asked curiously.

   "Don't worry about it so much, just go to the grain drying field and gather!"

  For this kind of person, the messenger gave him a cold look, said impatiently, and then notified one family after another.

   There are only more than 30 people in total, and the notification is completed in one go.

   After waiting for about five minutes, the 160 or so people had assembled, and then the 100 or so immigrants who joined also stood up and entered, waiting for the speech of the Governor on the high platform.

  Gilbert took a look at the hundred or so new immigrants, and found that most of them were young people, which made him both happy and worried.

  Happily, the addition of labor will make this small village more prosperous, but it will bring great instability.

   "Remember, bring more women over next time!" Tilting his head, Gilbert whispered to his friend Andrews behind him.

   "Oh! Got it."

   Andrews smiled and agreed softly.

  With so many bachelors, there will indeed be conflicts, and the conflicts are still great.

   "Everyone, I am Humphrey Gilbert, Governor of Edwardtown. Here, on behalf of all the residents, I welcome new partners to join us!"

  Papapapa...

   Applause followed.

   "Today, I would like to take this time to announce to everyone that this decree from London is about how we establish a government governance institution in the New World!"

  The people below raised their heads one after another, pursed their lips, and stared at His Excellency the Governor closely, with longing for the future and an urgent desire to understand in their eyes.

  For immigrants living in the New World, every change around them is a matter of concern, because it deeply affects their own interests, which is no different from that in England.

  Political sensitivity has been greatly improved.

  "Residents who immigrate to the New World are still citizens of the United Kingdom and must abide by the laws of the United Kingdom. Violators will be severely punished!"

  After the beginning of this paragraph, all immigrants will be sure of it.

  Actually, although everyone is immigrating to the New World, they are very worried that they will lose their national status and become homeless people.

  Although they left England and came to the New World, they did not want to bid farewell to their relatives in England. Instead, they hoped to bring their wealth and glory to their hometown to show off their wealth in front of their friends who looked down on them in the past.

   Even, most people still think about making a lot of money one day and returning to England.

   After all, no one wants to experience the fate of the Jews.

   After talking about national treatment, everyone is satisfied.

   Next, what Gilbert said made everyone more interested.

  First, all immigrants must be loyal to the king, and must not be loyal to the monarch or individual of another country.

  Second, Anglicanism is still the state religion of the New World, but some religions are allowed to carry out missionary activities on the condition that they obey the government and do not violate the law (the date is ten years later).

  Third, establish a governor-in-charge system. The governor is headed by the governor, who is in charge of civil affairs. He serves every five years, and his subordinates are the militia captain, the court, and the parliament.

  Fourth, the parliament uses the kingdom as a model, and has the power of supervision, impeachment, and financial supervision over the governor and officials.

  The councilors must be gentlemen and squires, as well as civilians nominated by the governor.

  Fifth, implement the policy of all citizens as soldiers. Any immigrants from the New World must be recruited to the battlefield anytime and anywhere, and no one may disobey it.

  Sixth, any goods from the New World also need to pay tariffs, but enjoy the most preferential treatment.

  Seventh, colonies in the New World must abide by all laws and regulations of the United Kingdom, including taxes.

  Eighth, any colonial council, which is equivalent to the county council, can draft self-government regulations, but they must be approved by the governor and the cabinet before they can be implemented.

  Ninth, the Governor's Office must be completely subject to the command of the Cabinet and His Majesty the King, and must not be disobeyed.

  Tenth, immigrants from the New World can return to the mainland at any time, and no one can stop them.

  Eleventh, the number of people under the jurisdiction of each colonial governor shall not exceed 100,000. If the number exceeds, a new governor will be established.

  Twelfth, colonial finances are no different from local counties, half of which is turned over to the central government, and the rest is for self-use. If there are special reasons, it can be delayed for three months.

   Thirteenth, Colonial officials, under the jurisdiction of the Colonial Secretary of the Cabinet.

  Fourteenth, a governor with less than 1,000 people is equivalent to the town mayor; a thousand to 10,000 people is equivalent to a county; more than 10,000 people is equivalent to a county.

  ...

  These thirty-nine laws and regulations are related to the vital interests of the people in the colonies, and they are also the basis for the future kingdom to govern the colonization.

  Because it was promulgated in June, it is also called the June Agreement by later generations.

   What is more striking is that the freedom of religion and the establishment of the governor's office all indicate that the original grass-headed team has been formally incorporated into the kingdom's government system, and the governor is equivalent to the local county governor.

  All this shows that the royal government has made up its mind to organize the colony.

  Of course, the government still intends to let the people test the waters to run the colony to save costs, and this is just incorporated into the system in advance.

  When it matures, it will conduct an official acquisition, and it is estimated that it will take more than ten years.

  This is much stronger than the fact that interest groups were formalized in the later stages of growth after the British government operated in the colony for a hundred years in history.

   And all of these are privately operated, and after putting on an official brand, they are under the control of the colonial minister and become official people in one fell swoop.

   This is much easier than the exam for those businessmen and gentlemen who are not good at studying but rich in wealth.

  Manage a colony. After the number of people reaches a certain level, you can become an official official of the coalition government, be recognized and enjoy glory.

   Just don't be too tempting.
