The results of the vote came out quickly, and Hao Xintian's request will be voted on as the last bill at the closing time, because most people feel that this request should be carefully considered.

After such a quarrel about Hao Xintian's matter, no one cares about the matter of three thousand taels of silver, and there is no way to care, the silver that cannot be divided still cannot be divided, and not everyone will leave Yulin Bay like Hao Xintian.

The General Assembly came up with a resolution to operate according to the current system for the time being, and the three thousand taels per person were not to be distributed. It is necessary to build what should be built, and the army must be expanded when it should be expanded, but the congress has made more detailed provisions on the budget and final account system.

Xia Yang finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the problem of asset liquidation was passed. Immediately after the re-election, Wang Jian was elected chairman of the committee for the first time, and Wei Yang was elected vice chairman and chief secretary for administration. When the post of Chief Secretary for Administration was created at the General Assembly a year ago, it was clearly stipulated that the Chief Secretary for Administration was subordinate to the Committee, so the term of office was also one year. In view of the current relationship between Yulin Bay and Yazhou, the Yazhou office has been abolished, and Wang Jian will return to Yulin Bay with a group of his wives and children.

He Yun formally submitted an application to the Crossing Conference, resigning from the positions of director of the Education Bureau and the principal of Yulinwan Academy, and proposed that Lin Chao take up these two positions.

He Yun's proposal once again sparked a fierce debate about whether it was okay to put a Ming Dynasty person in the position of the chief director. There was no answer to this question, and several people submitted a new bill to the General Assembly, and all the positions of the bureau directors were replaced, and the people of this era such as the Ming Dynasty and Westerners competed fairly. Yulinwan stipulates that each director should be re-elected every two years, but there is no provision that he cannot be re-elected, so some positions, such as Gu Yunkun's director of the mining bureau and Liu Guannan's chief inspector of the patrol house, have been working for almost ten years. Although there have been no major problems, it is still very disadvantageous for a position to be held by one person for a long time, and everything cannot depend on personal quality.

There is also a considerable opposition to this. Although after ten years of development, Yulin Bay is now the most advanced place in the entire Ming Dynasty and even the whole world, but there is still a big gap between the people of this era and these traversers in all aspects. The corruption within the civil service system alone has not been solved, and if the post of director of the bureau is left to the Ming Dynasty, the consequences may be even more unimaginable.

Wang Jian, who was only a factory fitter before the crossing, did not express any opinion on this issue, but did not discuss it with anyone, and when the traversers stopped arguing, Wang Jian, who was sitting on the rostrum instead of Xia Yang, unexpectedly put forward a new proposal: "Ladies and gentlemen, I may not have had the opportunity to raise this issue before, but thanks to your respect, I was elected as the new chairman of the committee." As the chairman of the committee, I would like to make a new proposal, which does not involve any substantive issues, but I think it is very important. ”

Luan Xu, who was sitting below, couldn't wait: "Wang Jian, what are you talking about, just say something if you have something to say." ”

Wang Jian smiled at all the traversers: "I suggest that the format of our venue be changed, and we should not set up the rostrum and the seats below." We changed to sitting, with the podium in the middle, and another 400 seats around the podium. Everyone sat around and whoever wanted to speak came up to the stage to express their opinions and answer questions from the participants. ”

"Hey, Wang Jian." Nie Zhongbin shouted, "You are now the chairman of the committee, are you willing to sit down below and be with us?" ”

"Why can't I sit down there, why can't I be with you?" Wang Jian replied with a smile, "I used to be just a fitter, and I didn't show anything among our more than 300 people, but after I came to Yulin Bay, I first became the leader of the logging team, then the director of the Yazhou office, and now I am the chairman of the committee." Hao Xintian said that he didn't like this system, but I liked it very much, because I was respected in this system, which I had never received in my previous life, and I knew what equality and freedom were. Of course, I can't represent you, no one, but as the chairman, I feel that I still have the right to make this request, and I think that the form of sitting around is more reflective of the equality between us. ”

"There's no need for that." Someone shouted, "It doesn't matter what form it takes, what matters is that anyone can speak." ”

"No, I think form matters." After speaking, Wang Jian stood up and bowed to Zheng Jiang and Zhang Guodong, and then bowed to Lu Tianxiang, and then walked off the rostrum, "Lu Lao, everyone, I'm sorry, I'm not sitting here." ”

"Chairman Wang, you wait first." Wei Yang, who was beside Wang Jian, grabbed him, "Even if we agree with you, we only have 318 members, and there are three minors, why are you setting up 400 seats?" ”

Wang Jian arched his hand towards the venue: "Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to express my personal opinion, I agree with Principal He's proposal, Lin Chao can serve as the director of the Education Bureau and the principal of Yulinwan Academy." I said that the 400 seats were set up so that the vacant seats were reserved for the Ming Dynasty and Westerners, who could observe our meetings. ”

The powder kegs of this crossing conference were one after another, and Wang Jian's words caused a long debate.

"Say it, say it, I'll say something." Di Chong stood up again and shouted, "I said that the committee will affect the vote of the crossing assembly, you don't believe it." Now that Wang Jian said that he supported Lin Chao before the vote, would you not consider his opinion at all when voting, he is now the chairman of the committee. ”

"Di Chong, don't shout." Someone said, "The chairperson is also a member, and everyone has the right to express their opinions before voting. ”

Di Chong turned his head and wanted to refute the person who spoke, but saw Lu Tianxiang stand up for the second time: "Everyone, I'm sorry." I know I shouldn't speak, and I know that none of you are afraid or willing to contradict me, but I want to say it anyway. ”

Lu Tianxiang didn't say anything after saying this, the venue was quiet for a while, and Zhang Guodong said: "Lu Lao, we all know your status, and you should also know the respect that all of us respect you." You are still a member of the Crossing Conference, and you have the right to speak according to our rules. ”

Lu Tianxiang, accompanied by Shi Xianyang, walked around the venue: "Actually, I'm very conflicted, but this is a fact. Yes, I'm still a member of the General Assembly, so I still have a say. But the fact is that no one has an opinion when I speak, which may be good, but it is more bad. I don't dare to use dictatorship to end dictatorship compared to General Washington and Mr. Jianfeng, and I don't want dictatorship at all. ”

"Lao Lu." He Yun shouted, "Come back and sit down, it's better for these children to decide these things." ”

Lu Tianxiang waved his hand at his wife: "I'll just say it one last time, I agree with Wang Jian's proposal, and I also agree with letting Lin Chao replace your Aunt He." ”

Someone finally stood up: "Old Lu, I'm sorry, I also want to express some personal opinions." I think it's still a bit inappropriate to let the Ming Dynasty people be the director of the bureau, you always know, the Ming Dynasty people are the Ming Dynasty people after all. ”

"We haven't voted yet, let the ballots speak, we're voting by secret ballot." After Lu Tianxiang finished speaking, he returned to his wife's side with the support of Shi Xianyang, sat down and said nothing.

Zhang Guodong looked up at the German clock placed on the side of the venue, turned his head and discussed a few words with Zheng Jiang, Wang Jian, and Wei Yang, Wang Jian nodded and said: "Everyone, the time is not early, today's meeting will be here first." We move on to the last item and vote on the seating in the room. ”
