"Something will happen!"

The natives, who were not sure about the situation, were a little panicked by the scenes.Many people didn’t say anything but their faces changed. Those who usually like to go to teahouses to talk about the past and the present have already prayed to God and worshiped Buddha in their hearts: “It’s like facing a big enemy like this. I’m afraid there’s a quarrel with the court? Hey, Bodhisattva bless you, it’s hard to live a happy life for two days, don’t you dare to raise troops?!”

If you compare them horizontally, the living conditions enjoyed by the working class under the influence of time travel are actually better than those of the big brother workers back then.Industrialization in the seventeenth century lacked competition, and the profits generated by factories were sufficient to pay for environmental protection and well-paid workers.

In this way, it is understandable for the workers to secretly pray for peace in the world. After all, individuals have the right to pursue a happy life.

But what the workers didn't know was that what happened today had nothing to do with what they were worried about.

……

At the same time when the administrative area was blocked, in the traveler's community located at the southernmost end of the area, some traveler went out after breakfast one after another.After everyone went out, they entered the parliament hall in the least noticeable way along the specially planned closed passage.

All along, except for a brief period of pioneering in Tainan, the exact number of cross-travelers has been top secret.Afterwards, the higher-ups who realized this problem intentionally or unintentionally dispersed the traversers in various regions, and never organized large gatherings again.

until this time.

This is why some areas are under martial law.

At the same time, some carriages carrying traversers also marched towards the administrative area from the periphery.Most of these people are traversers working in the surrounding areas, and they were arranged in separate rooms and hotels in various places in the new area in advance.After their cars arrived at the second post, they all got out of the cars and changed to walking.

Just like that, at around 8:210 in the morning, the transversal people who came to participate in this conference gathered in the parliament hall, the number was [-] people.

Of course, the total number of traversers is more than 210.It's just that some people are currently working in other places, and it's too late to come back to attend the conference.

At 9 o'clock in the morning, the conference officially started.

Today's plenary meeting has been four full years since the "Emperor's Enthronement and Travelers' National Founding Conference" held in Tainan at the end of 1628.

In 4 years, the sea has changed.A certain force that has experienced rapid industrialization and rapid social change needs to pause and plan for the future.

Today is the second day of the conference.At this time yesterday, Xia Xianze himself delivered a "government work report" to all participants.

The report is very comprehensive, giving an overview of the overall development of the time-traveling forces over the past few years, as well as the development data of various aspects of society.Summarize the past, mention the present, and look forward to the future.

Afterwards, many people came to the stage and made speeches around Lao Xia's report.In the afternoon, the conference also organized group discussions. The atmosphere of the meeting was very strong, and the enthusiasm of the participants was also very high.

Today is a special report.

The first to make a report was undoubtedly Zou Guoqing, the cabinet minister in charge of industry.It was this gentleman who proposed to start a business in Tainan at the beginning.

The proposals of Zou Guoqing and others from the Industrial Party now appear to be undoubtedly correct.The time-traveling forces passed the weak incubation period in Tainan without interference, established an early industrial system, and developed the petrochemical industry.

Today, the output of the Miaosu oil belt has exceeded 500 tons per day.The petrochemical products such as lubricating oil, fuel oil and asphalt provided by it are essential industrial blood.

However, the content of Zou Guoqing's report today is not so exciting: "As early as the beginning of this year, there appeared 'full accessories' imported material containers. After that, the number of full accessories boxes appeared more and more. This situation indicates that imported materials can no longer support our current industrial system."

"Due to the lack of accessories, three of our high-end industrial equipment, such as the original four sets of electric furnaces, have been shut down, and the only one still operating is also in low-speed working mode."

"The industrial system that developed chaotically before must now be restructured."

"It is our main task in the next stage to vigorously reduce the dependence of the new industrial system on imported materials, abandon illusions, and build a new industrial system based on conventional steam power as the skeleton and supplemented by a small amount of electric equipment."

Following Zou Guoqing's resolute words, the audience in the audience knew that this time it was going to be serious.But having said that, the matter of adjusting the industrial structure has actually been discussed for a long time, and everyone has recognized today's ending.

There is no way, when the consumables and accessories of equipment occupy all the import quotas, the industrial system that developed indiscriminately in the early days will come to an end.

Before that, most people actually had a good vision: before the imported materials are completely overwhelmed by accessories, it would be perfect to overtake cars on curves and make continuous vertical jumps to evolve into an electric society in one step.

However, the reality is cruel.Looking at it now, let alone the popularization of electricity, it is not known how many years it will take to popularize the steam engine.

People are always like this, only after being slapped in the face will they understand the truth: no matter how small an industrial system is, it also needs a basic tonnage.Just relying on the amount of imported materials, it is impossible to blow up an industrial system in a short period of time.

Zou Guoqing's report on rebuilding the industrial system was passed by all the representatives without any disturbance.

Yao Jianshe did not express any opinions during the two-day meeting.The reason is that these two days have been discussing major issues, and he, the so-called frontier representative of the northern trio, is too far away from the central core and the country's major events.

However, in the group discussion in the afternoon, Yao Jianshe encountered a "strange thing": he was bragging and lying in the intelligence team, but was invited to the boss's room by the cabinet steward with whispers.

In this room, there are three or four members of the cabinet alone, needless to say that Xia Shoufu is also there.The most important thing is Mr. Cao who is sitting at the top and wearing a light yellow plaid suit.

The next moment, Xia Shoufu, who usually didn't take someone seriously, stretched out his hand and warmly greeted the former: "Come, come, Lao Yao, come and sit with Mr. Cao."

Yao Jianshe glanced at the smiling Emperor Cao, and couldn't help but hear that the chrysanthemum tightened, and his forehead sweated slightly: "What is this for? Am I so important?"

Chapter 620 General Assembly ([-])

There are many things in the world that are independent of human will.

The grassroots team established in Tainan at the beginning has developed into a superpower with unlimited potential.

In this situation, no matter what the old brothers who started at the bottom of their hearts think, the good days of treating each other as equals are indeed gone forever.

Although everyone still calls themselves brothers in private, everyone can feel that with the enlargement and formalization of the organization, the external status is slowly changing each other's internal status.

What Yao Jianshe encountered today is a typical scene.Just a few years ago, everyone was sitting in the wild with their buttocks eating grilled oysters, discussing how to arrange for the wild people in Tainan, and throwing two chicken bones at each other to scold each other when they said something wrong.

But today, Yao Jianshe, one of the dignified northern trio, and a black-and-white boss who manages an unknown number of people's property, feels a little flattered once he encounters a solo "audience"... Since something like the system enjoys the management advantages it brings, it must bear the concept of superiors and subordinates it brings.

So Yao Jianshe respectfully sat beside Mr. Cao.

Just after taking a cigarette from Mr. Cao, Xia Xianze, who looked smiling at the side, said before he was polite, "Mr. Cao has an important matter for you to handle."

Yao Jianshe quickly pulled the cigarette out of his mouth: "I have something to tell you."

"After you go back this time, take care of the files of Mr. Cao's last three generations."

"Ah!?" Yao Jianshe was so shocked that he was speechless and forgot to smoke.

With an expression of "I knew this guy didn't understand", Xia Xianze took a long breath and began to explain to Yao Jianshe.

In other words, according to the practice of the Chinese people, after the founding emperor sat down in the country, he would be canonized for three generations of his ancestors.

This is standard procedure, a necessary "ritual" of social acceptance.

Li Tang made the tripod at that time, and Li Shimin later named his grandfather Li Hu as the Taizu of the Tang Dynasty.

As the core of the Guanlong military and political group, the Li family's ancestors themselves were great aristocratic clans passed down from generation to generation: Li Shimin's grandfather was the Duke of Longxi County in the Western Wei Dynasty, his grandfather was the Duke of Tang in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and Li Yuan succeeded the Duke of Tang in the late Sui Dynasty. Taiyuan stayed behind during the rebellion.The Li family can be described as the number one rebel within the Sui Dynasty system.

The difference from the old Li's family is that in the Ming Dynasty, the old Zhu's family was really a counterattack.

Zhu Yuanzhang's ancestors were poor peasants for three generations.His grandfather, Zhu Chuyi, and his father, Zhu Wusi, both came from poor peasants...you can tell from their names.Zhu Baba himself was a poor ghost when he was young, and he also worked as a wandering monk for a few years-synonymous with beggars.

Even so, when Comrade Zhu Yuanzhang ascended the Great Treasure, his grandfather Zhu Chuyi was immediately named Emperor Xizuyu, and his father Zhu Wusi was named Emperor Renzuchun.

Next, it's Comrade Cao Chuan's turn.

Prior to this, a certain force's external rhetoric was "the return of maritime merchants".This generalization was fine in the early days.However, as time went by, when the day came to announce it to the world, Emperor Cao, as the co-lord of the Han people, could not even tell which village his ancestors farmed in. It would definitely not work, and it would affect the legitimacy of his rule.Aboriginal people will have doubts and vigilance: Is that generation Han Chinese?Alien?

The so-called name is not correct, and the words are not smooth.

Therefore, it is necessary to plan ahead when traveling through the public.It's okay for others to say, the card face... the emperor must make arrangements here.

In addition, the early arrangement of the emperor's native place documents is also conducive to the next step of work, especially for the work in the north.This can be seen from the previous negotiations with the Dongjiang town warlord group.After learning that Emperor Cao was from the north, Kong Youde's attitude changed quickly, and his worries were much less.

After listening to Xia Xianze's explanation, Yao Jianshe breathed a sigh of relief: This damn is lucky, not to mention a task that can be handled, but also a closer relationship with the emperor himself, a good thing!

But he immediately realized the importance of the task.Not to mention the long-term legitimacy of the Transit regime, even now it is of great help to the work of the northern trio: He participated in the entire process of "recruiting" the Kong Youde Group before, and he knew that the ancients were very concerned about such things as their hometown. degree of concern.

After thinking it over, Yao Jianshe had another question: "Doesn't the file involve Mr. Cao's ancestral relationship in the old world?"

It seems that Cao Chuan has already considered Yao Jianshe's problem.The next moment he shook his head resolutely: "No, the old and new worlds must be completely separated. Everything I have in the old world has nothing to do with this side. This file, except for the overlap of origin, the rest is up to you, 'do' one Just take it out."

Yao Jianshe felt relieved.

This makes the task much easier.Isn't it just to "find" a family with the surname Cao who has never been seen before? Anyway, it was a family with the same surname 500 years ago, and Ming people can be regarded as ancestors.

From Yao Jianshe's point of view, the Ming Dynasty had nothing to do with it. There were too many households that had wandered around and even lost their incense, so this job was not difficult.After he adjourned the meeting, he collected some information on the refugees in the north, and then went back to the north for field investigation, and checked the household registration books and county annals of those counties and townships. Wouldn't this task be completed?

Thinking of this, Yao Jianshe put on a serious face: "Mr. Cao, leave this matter to me, and I will take care of it for you!"

Seeing Mr. Cao nodded, Yao Jianshe continued, "But you have to tell me where you are from?"

"Oh yes, I forgot about this." Cao Chuan patted his head and announced the name of a small place on the [-]th line of Hebei: "My hometown is between Bazhou and Tianjin. It doesn't matter, just look for that one, you turn around I have checked the names of the places in the Ming Dynasty, and the earliest establishment was the area under the jurisdiction of the Spring and Autumn State of Yan."

Yao Jianshe nodded again and again: "Then let's work together, just wait for the telegram from me!"

"Pay attention." Seeing that the matter was about the same, Xia Xianze on the side straightened his face, and finally told Yao Jianshe: "This matter involves the future official history of the country and social sacrifices, and it is top secret for all the aborigines, so everything before and after is confidential. You have to do it yourself!"

Yao Jianshe himself is a big boss in the intelligence community, so he naturally knows the principle of confidentiality, so he nodded hurriedly when he heard the words.

In the end, the forthright Mr. Cao patted Yao Jianshe on the shoulder: "Well, it's a business matter, but it's actually a private matter, old Yao, you've got to suffer!"

"Mr. Cao, you are too polite, this matter is my business, I promise to handle it well!"

Seeing Yao Jianshe going on the road, Mr. Cao showed a strange smile at this moment: "Well, I still have a few cigarettes in Li Dazui's place. If you ask him for one, just tell me what I said."

"Haha, that's a good relationship. I'll take it back and give it to my two buddies in the north. I haven't smoked imported cigarettes in old days."

……

Relying on the convenience of working in the north, Yao Jianshe, who accidentally received a hidden mission, happily exited the dungeon... no, it was a small conference hall, and sneaked into the mass square again.

Next, the meeting continued to follow the established charter.

Yao Jianshe, who listened to the report step by step, originally thought that there would be nothing new.What he didn't expect was that on the afternoon of the third day of the meeting, someone raised a hot topic: reopening immigration ports.

Immigrants here do not refer to refugees transported by boats from the north, but specifically to those who travel through.

This motion has the support of most traversers.

Today, many conflicts that occurred among the time-traveling people in the early days have long since disappeared, such as the most important internal power struggle.

Without it, the cake is too big and there are too few people eating it.Everyone clearly felt that if they didn't TM import a few boxes of people, the dishes would be useless!

Nowadays, as the tonnage of the crossing regime expands at a geometric speed, as the territory of the "National Controlled Area" increases geometrically, any crossing person will be assigned a pile of titles, and there are not too many idlers in the early days just for a shit position It's time for a fight.

Let's put it this way, now if someone jumps out and says that I am not afraid of hardships or feeding mosquitoes and is willing to stay in Thailand as the Supreme Emperor, there is a high probability that this gentleman will get a certificate of appointment the next day.

However, it is a pity that people are content with pleasure and seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.Since staying in the new area and sitting in an office with air-conditioning is the same as going to Annan, why should I have to deal with savages and feed mosquitoes?

Even if you are currently studying junior high school physics and become the boss of a factory in the new area, it is better than going to the Indochina Peninsula to be a shitty governor.

No one is stupid.Everyone knows that malaria is not the only infectious disease that can kill people in the tropics.Many diseases will require large hospitals to solve in future generations, and it is simply not something that today's time-traveling forces can handle from a distance.

This is the status quo within the Transmigration.Compared with the increasing number of positions in key government departments, the number of traversers who have long been fixed is a bit stretched.

And the aborigines under your command who became monks halfway are far from being able to be entrusted with important tasks.

As for the new generation of Ming people who can be entrusted with important tasks... they are still being brainwashed in high school, and they cannot be fostered.

These are the reasons for the proposal.It is indeed out of the simplest desire for talents after the growth of the regime.

However, the department most eager for "new immigrants" is not even the government department that sits in the office.

This time, it was the army representatives who specifically proposed the motion.To be precise, it was the proposal proposed by Army Commander-in-Chief Han Xiaobo himself on behalf of all the military cross-country people.

No way, compared to other departments, the army really needs to "import" senior officers the most.

With the current scale of crossing the country, army and navy, and not importing some senior professional officers, Han Xiaobo stood on the podium at this moment and said: "It is expedient for the traverser to be the first-level commander of the rotating battalion and the first-level commander of the battleship captain. There are hidden dangers in the army. This practice of seven lids and eight pots must be stopped immediately!"

"If we continue like this, we will easily be taken advantage of by natives full of old feudal ideas. Everyone knows that political power grows out of the barrel of a gun. The military is the most dangerous department, and it is the department that cannot go wrong anyway."

"So, either recruit the existing traversers to join the army, or stop the expansion of the army forever...Of course, the most reasonable solution is to reopen the immigration channel."

Having said that, Han Xiaobo, who was dressed in a military uniform, turned his head together with most of the participants, and looked at Cao Chuan, who was sitting alone in the "private seat".

Chapter 621 General Assembly ([-])

Han Xiaobo's proposal on immigration aroused resonance among the people sitting here.

It is completely opposite to the old world where people are everywhere and college students sweep public toilets.The right holders in the new world, facing the increasingly large administration, scientific research and production system, feel more and more the pain of the lack of "own people".

Obviously possessing the most advanced theoretical guiding ideology and scientific and technological knowledge, but the people who deal with them daily are illiterate indigenous people who do not know how many generations are separated.This kind of situation where there is nowhere to show their strength often makes the time travelers who are full of "big plans" and "time is waiting" despair.

After Han Xiaobo finished his concluding speech, everyone knew that there was only one solution to this matter: reopening the immigration channel.

The key person to reopen the passage is naturally Emperor Cao who is sitting in a separate mahogany seat.

Faced with the broad masses of the people... the voices of the New World ruling group to reopen immigration channels, Cao Chuan did not panic.

Probably because he knew there was such a proposal, Cao Chuan got up expressionlessly under the eyes of many pairs of hope, waved his hand before walking out, and threw an ambiguous sentence: "This is not a small risk. , I think about it for two days."

"Huh..." The participants let out a sigh of relief: It's fine if you don't deny it on the spot!

Everyone knows that the risk of immigration in the old world is high.Therefore, if the channel is to be restarted now, Cao Chuan can only make a decision after assessing the risks himself.In this matter, the time-traveling people are passively accepting. What everyone was most worried about before was actually Cao Chuan's flat-out refusal.

Now it seems that there is still a play.

After Emperor Cao left, several irrelevant proposals appeared next.Afterwards, the meeting adjourned, and Yao Jianshe, who had been playing tricks in the audience, left in a hurry to find Li Dazui.

Yao Jianshe knew Li Dazui.Previously, Yao Jianshe was entrusted to invite several teams from his hall in Tianjin to go south, bringing some "northern style" to Li Dazui's casino business, so the relationship between the two parties is not bad.

Li Dazui, as the leader of the courtiers, must be easy to find.Yao Jianshe quickly found a group of guys preparing for dinner in the small canteen of the palace, among them was Li Dazui.
