After spending the morning identifying the most important items, the participants seized the time to eat a boxed lunch and work hard to solve the next level of problems.

The three parties participating in today's meeting have made rapid progress on those outstanding issues – most of them already have the answers, but they just lack the right to make a decision.

Now that the emperor is on the change, there is no obstacle, and most of the issues are passed over at one time. Such as the organizational structure of the pocket government, the patterns of the silver dollars and banknotes to be issued, the specifications and patterns of the "jade seals", "phase seals", "aristocratic clothing" and other items to be used; These issues seem to be important, but in fact, there are many retreat elements, and no one wants to talk about it without talking about it.

Of course, there are a few issues that have caused controversy: the calendar, for example.

The calendar currently used by the empire is the Gregorian era brought over from later generations. This so-called Gregorian calendar was originally called the Christian era, also known as the Western calendar or Western calendar, and was a calendar made by the Italians who reformed the Julian calendar. In 1582, Gregory XIII, then Pope of Rome, approved it.

The Western calendar begins with the year of Jesus' birth. Later scholars, in order to downplay its religious overtones and avoid resentment by non-Christians, renamed it AD and BC.

The year after the outbreak of the Xinhai Revolution, the then government of the Republic of China adopted the Gregorian calendar as the national calendar.

In the old world, the so-called Gregorian calendar was thus used. In addition, the traditional lunar calendar was later retained, but it was rarely used, that is, it could be used by merchants when they burst moon cakes and watched the Spring Festival Gala.

......

For the emperors and Han people, the question of the calendar is properly a matter of principle: it is so funny to use the year of Jesus' birth as the era, and it is better to use the year of the Jade Emperor than that, anyway, they are all the main gods, who is lower than whom?

Now that the people have opened a new dynasty in the new plane, if the calendar is to use the Jesus calendar again, it will be ridiculous + funny, this is unbearable, and it must be changed!

Xia Xianze's gang doesn't see it that way.

Unlike the ideologically charged Conservatives, the Conservatives, who actually wield the resources of the government, are more concerned with implementation: the change of the epoch will affect not only the existing administrative system, but also the industrial and educational systems.

Including the computers and written materials brought by the old world, the entire country will have a period of chaos with the change. This situation is not what Xia Xianze, who is striving for stability at the moment, wants to see.

In addition, in response to the ideological aspects of the emperors' loud shouting, the Conservatives actually scoffed: the entire country of the Old World more than 100 million people lived in the Gregorian calendar, and did not see anyone so humiliated as to commit suicide?

1.4 billion people sing the Internationale, using Celsius, Moore, Newton, and Ampere. If the calendar needs to rise to national pride, political correctness, what about all the other things that come from the West? All changed? Isn't this a cover-up......

"Hehehe......" After listening to the statements of the two factions, Cao Chuan smiled: "The old ones are quite reasonable. ”

"Let me see, each of you has his own position, and you can't say who is wrong." When Cao Chuan said this, he turned his head and asked Bai Hongda: "Old Bai, is this new calendar you advocate going to start from the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, or the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period?" Or is it the prosperity of the Han and Tang dynasties? ”

"Ahem......" Bai Hongda raised a hand after hearing this: "It's okay, as long as you don't follow the ancestor of the white skin." ”

"Oh...... I understand. Cao Chuan rubbed his eyebrows with his middle finger, then raised his head and said, "Since this is the case, then while our plate is still small, the calendar will be changed." Otherwise, when the population grows in the future and the masses develop habits, it will be too late to change them. Lao Xia, what do you say? ”

Xia Xianze thought to himself, you have set the tone, and asked me if I agree? I'm really a dumb one.

Thinking of this, Xia Xianze nodded formally: "Since Mr. Cao said so, then we will do it." ”

Seeing Lao Xia's face, Cao Chuan smiled and nodded at him: "Well, that's good, you have to take care of the overall situation." In addition, the original lunar calendar does not need to be canceled, we are still the same as the old time and space, a dual-track system. ”

After a pause, Cao Chuan continued: "As for the question of the starting age of the 'new Gregorian calendar'...... Since you don't care, let's start with the Qin Dynasty. If you mess with my country name, you have to make up for it, don't you? ”

"Agreed!"

"Very fair......

"Great idea!"

Seeing that the goal was achieved, several emperors hurriedly clapped their ass.

Thus, the new Gregorian calendar that crosses the plane was thus decided. The new calendar pushes forward the first year of the Common Era by 221 years, the year of the founding of the Qin Dynasty, the first centralized unified state of the Han Chinese.

From now on, in the country founded by the Travelers, students will learn the new Gregorian calendar year in class. The travelers, who have become accustomed to the old calendar, will add the number 221 to the Gregorian calendar of the old time and space - the year 1628 will become the new calendar 1849 in future official documents and textbooks, completely separate from the Western calendar.

......

By dinnertime, the agenda of the meeting had already touched on the priority of cabinet seats.

The question of seats is where the real interests lie, and the two parties almost beat their brains out for the seats under the buttocks. And this time, under the mediation of Emperor Cao, the two sides finally reached an agreement.

The Conservative Cabinet will cede the post of Transport Secretary to the Emperor, and the post of head of the police department will be offered for a deal. As for the four ministers of state that the emperors and Han have in mind, there is no way to do this, who makes them a minority party.

Of course, the royals did not make some people feel better: given that the pocket country was in a period of intense expansion and change, the Conservative Party's proposal for a five-year election was also passed.

In the end, the two sides reached an agreement that the elections would be held every two years, then three years, until the day when the regime was firmly established and the indigenous elite came to power, passing through the old age, and then the elections would be fixed every five years.

At this point in the discussion, the number of people who travel through the crowd is involved.

...... As of today, the total number of traversers coming to the new plane is exactly 250. This number, coupled with Cao Chuan's own words, is 251, which inadvertently avoids some embarrassment.

And for a period of time in the future, there will be no more people crossing for the time being.

There are two aspects to this question. First of all, Cao Chuan brought bad outside news: after years of human trafficking, he was finally targeted by certain agencies, including Interpol. So in the recent past, or according to Cao Chuan himself, he doesn't plan to transport people over again "in three or five years".

The second is the opinion of the inside: everyone didn't want to absorb many new people in the first place.

In the late 60s of the 19th century, mankind entered the "electric age" and began the second industrial revolution. And the goal of the first generation of traversal is roughly this standard.

As for the subsequent computer information age, these lofty things in the nano age are too far away from them for most people in middle age, and there is no hope in this life.

In view of this, then the future crossing country, in fact, only needs to light up the superficial technology tree of the ironclad gunship, which is enough to dominate the world. In this case, the existing more than 200 people are enough - if there are more, what will happen when the cake is divided one day?

Therefore, under the combined influence of these two internal and external factors, the participants also reached a preliminary intention: for a period of time in the future (at least 5 years), no new people will be accepted. If the crossers suffer heavy losses in the future or the political situation warrants, then consider the matter of "importing" personnel.

After the "immigration" agreement and the previous election plan were reached, the atmosphere between the two parties was unexpectedly eased.

Since it is held every two years, and there are no newcomers, then after getting rid of the technical nerds, soldiers, etc., who are not interested in politics, there are not many people left who are interested in playing politics in the crowd - it is good that those here take turns to govern, and there is no need to fight too fiercely.

......

The most difficult problem to solve before was solved at the dinner table. Therefore, sometimes the emperor can still play a positive role, especially in the case of tripartite talks, and a suitable arbiter can save a lot of time for all parties.

After dinner, it was time to fight the landlord: this time, because the hole card was taken by Cao Chuan, the people of the two parties instantly united together, ready to fight the largest landlord leader.

What is the content of the struggle? Imperial power and imperial treatment.

The first thing that everyone talked about was imperial power.

As for the emperor's rights, in fact, there is not much debate: all rights are nominally vested in the emperor, and then the emperor delegates the actual power to the prime minister, which is the default political structure of all the people, including Cao Chuan, and it is also the central idea that Cao Chuan promised when he and Xia Xianze were "in the back court".

So Cao Chuan didn't ask too much in this regard.

Of course, the premise of delegating power is that it must have its own guarantees - immunity from prosecution (no prosecution can be directed at the emperor) and tax avoidance clauses (the emperor's fief does not pay taxes), a series of bills to protect the rights of the emperor, Xia Xianze and they also said early on that they would write it into the constitution.

Cao Chuan put it very thoroughly in this regard.

Cao Chuan said on the spot today that he and his descendants are only responsible for signing documents, and that the actual decision is vested in the prime minister and the parliament.

And the only thing Cao Chuan said that he needed to make adjustments was the knighthood system.

He objected to the clause that "knighthoods must first be approved by parliament and the prime minister": the emperor must have at least some of the nobility's free knighthood rights...... Even if it's not much, it must be there.

After listening to this sentence, the people of the two parties present understood in seconds: Is this to promote Xin Jin villain? Isn't this how traitors in history came to power?

Well, that's going to have to be a good chatter.
