"No, Beiming, I don't approve of using coercion." Xu Lang said, "We can do the opposite, first find out the ownerless wasteland, divide the land to the landless peasants, and then implement a 20% rent." In this way, every peasant has his own land and does not have to pay agricultural taxes, and there will be fewer people willing to bear the high rent, and the rent will naturally fall. ”

"Okay, even if you can do that." Jiang Beiming asked again, "What is the reason for us to return the ownerless wasteland to the public, how do we explain it to the imperial court, and even how do we explain it to Wang Kezong, the officials of the Qiongzhou Mansion." ”

"Actually, there's one more thing." Zhang Guodong added, "What about the Li people, and whether the land in the Li people's settlement area should also be taken into public ownership." ”

The questions of the two people stopped Xu Lang: "I haven't thought about this, you give me some time, I have to think about it." ”

"There's no time." Han Wantao said, "There will be a crossing conference in five days, and I promised the veterans that I would give them an answer within ten days." ”

"Wan Tao, don't worry." Xu Lang persuaded, "It's easy to talk about the veterans, now there are only a few hundred injured and discharged people in the entire Yulin Bay, and we don't agree to their requests." However, the land reform is too much involved, and the final decision needs to be made by the crossing conference. I think so, I'll ask Xia Yang and Shi Xianyang for their opinions, and submit the land reform proposal to the crossing conference for voting. Wan Tao, you can also find a specific method for the resettlement of veterans and hand them in, and strive to give them an answer within 10 days. ”

It was already late at night, and Xu Lang was still sitting under the lamp and writing hard.

Cheng Yiyi and Zhao Zhiruo didn't sleep, and Zhao Zhiruo poured Xu Lang a cup of tea: "Xu Lang, pay attention to your body, don't stay up too late." ”

Xu Lang smiled and patted Zhao Zhiruo's hand: "I know, you guys go to sleep first, I found myself a job again." ”

Cheng Yiyi sat on the bed and said with a smile: "Is it because you work so hard because you have too much energy, and now you can't use it for the two of us, so you use your work to pass it." ”

Xu Lang looked back and smiled: "It's nothing that I have excess energy, I'm afraid you two don't have much energy." Didn't Ouyang say it, you must have it, I want you to pay more attention and rest more. ”

"You have to eat more fruit and exercise more, and you can't change a few words." Cheng Yiyi asked with a smile, "What are you doing, you haven't slept for two or three days in a row." ”

Xu Lang picked up the bill on the table: "The problem of the British, the problem of sending European students, the problem of army expansion, the problem of Tsushima Island and Vietnam, and the problem of land reform on Hainan Island." It's all fucking problems, they all have to be submitted in meetings, and I don't have time to sleep. ”

"Who said that there is going to be land reform on Hainan Island, why doesn't our committee know?" Cheng Yiyi asked.

"I said, or I would say that I had found myself a job again." Xu Lang replied, "This is an idea just now, and I don't know how the crossing conference can be decided in the end." Sleep first, leave me alone. ”

The crossing conference was held as scheduled at the end of July, and the first work was a little different from previous years, and the two traversers Huo Chengze and Long Hongyun, who turned 16 years old this year, swore in to become new members.

The next step is the eternal re-election.

Xia Yang was no longer the chairman of the committee, and Qin Songwang, who returned from Beijing, was elected chairman. Shi Xianyang resigned as a justice of the Constitutional Court and nominated Pham Thu Minh to be the chief justice of the Constitutional Court, which was successfully approved, and Pham Thu Minh was succeeded by Liu Jun as head of the External Liaison Office. Dong Fei will continue to serve as chairman of his military commission until the re-election in July next year.

Martial law was lifted, and the Joint Command returned power to the Crossing Conference, which also made Xu Lang finally put his mind at ease.

There are only five days left before Han Wantao promised the veterans, and this reply is linked to the land reform on Hainan Island, so the two proposals were regarded as the first bills to be discussed and voted on.

The land reform measures submitted by Xu Lang to the conference were finally adopted in principle, and it was clear to everyone that land reform was the foundation, and the development of Yulin Bay could not avoid this issue. Although Xu Lang's proposal has been put forward by many people, it can solve the land problem in a gentle way, but the majority of people have the opinion. A land reform group was set up at the conference, and Xia Yang, who had just retired, served as the leader of the land reform group, and Sun Dalei and Liu Guannan served as deputy leaders respectively. How to carry out land reform and how to deal with the Ming Dynasty government and the Li people will be fully responsible for the land reform team.

On the issue of disabled veterans, the Congress decided to increase the subsidy and pay 5 taels of silver per month, so that these disabled soldiers can comfortably support their families. As for the issue of land division, the meeting decided to hand over the issue to the land reform group and wait for the land reform to begin before discussing the matter of land division.

The proposals were discussed one by one, and Sun Tianhao's Qiong Fair was scheduled to be held at the end of October, tentatively for two months, and ended at the end of the year.

Xu Lang's other proposals were also basically passed. You can send international students to Europe, and at the same time, you can also absorb European children to study in Yulin Bay, as for how to operate, this is handed over to He Yun's Education Bureau to deal with.

Han Wantao's military expansion plan was linked to the Tsushima operation and the Vietnam operation. The final resolution of the congress was to settle the South and then the North, and then settle Tsushima after Vietnam. Strive to recruit another division of troops before the end of the year, 30,000 people will have difficulties, and strive to reach 25,000 troops on Hainan Island.

To this end, the Central Military Commission downsized the current military establishment and set up a total of three independent divisions. Each independent division will have 4,965 men in three infantry regiments, 800 in one artillery regiment and 1,000 in one cavalry regiment, for a total of 6,800 men. The three independent divisions totaled more than 20,000 people, and the rest of the troops, except for those stationed in Yulin Bay, would be classified as tax police stationed in various places.

Li Fuqiang, who had returned from Vietnam, carefully considered the plan for Vietnam's operation and made a suggestion that the new Vietnamese army and the Yulin Bay troops should change their guards. In order to prevent a possible mutiny of the Vietnamese Forces nouvelles in Vietnam's operations, all the Vietnamese Forces nouvelles stationed in Kam Phu and Pliango were transferred to Hainan Island, not only to Hainan Island, but also to disperse and become tax police stationed in various prefectures and counties.

It was decided that after the change of defense, all three independent divisions would be transferred to Kin Phu to begin a large-scale armed occupation of Vietnam, at least to be able to control North Vietnam. The operation was codenamed the Annan landing.

Xu Lang's last proposal to open Yulin Bay to bring in Puritans caused a heated debate. Although Xu Lang had changed his words and no longer raised the issue of the concession, but transformed it into a British settlement, it was still opposed by most people. The final decision was to treat the British and other Westerners equally, and they could come to Yulin Bay, but they were not given special treatment and care.

Jiang Beiming also submitted a motion on behalf of the North Traverser, proposing to reduce the power of the North. Jiang Beiming believed that it was relatively unlikely that there would be another large-scale conflict with the Manchus within a year, and that Yulin Bay would enter Vietnam again, and that it would be better to maintain a defensive posture in the north. This will allow Chongzhen to put snacks and focus on Vietnam.

But what about Yanchang County, what about Li Zicheng, if Yanchang County can't be recovered, there will be no oil, and without oil, No. 777 will have no combat effectiveness, and you can't drag No. 777 to participate in the war every time you fight.

Xin Jiaju, the captain of the 777 boat, who personally experienced the naval battle of Bangka Island, persuaded everyone: "Even if we have oil now, the 777 has no combat effectiveness at all, and it will not be able to drive." The diesel fuel we refine is completely unable to meet the requirements of a missile boat, and in this era, efforts to develop sail warships are fundamental. ”

As a result of the vote, the county was temporarily waived. The armies of Xuanfu and Datong will be reduced to 1,000 men, and the number of warships on the Dengzhou side will be reduced from four to two. The entire northern side is mainly defensive, and the northern issue will be considered after the landing operation in Annam is over and Vietnam is controlled. At the same time, the plan to regain Lushun was also put on hold.

Wang Qianxiang and Zhou Lei still returned to Shanxi and Datong, and Jiang Beiming and Zhang Hai still returned to Beijing. There will be fifteen vacancies for regimental commanders in the three separate divisions, and now Ye Zhan and Andreas have also been promoted to the rank of lieutenant colonel. In response to this situation, the crossing conference approved the application of the Military Commission, and the Ming Dynasty could serve as colonel-level officers, up to colonel, and all general-level officers must also be served by the traverser.

Shi Xianyang's proposal to form an expeditionary fleet to go to the Americas was rejected without any suspense, and now even Vietnam and Nanyang have not been done, what kind of America to go, and the American continent can't run away anyway, this result makes Shi Xianyang very depressed.

Xia Yang also submitted a proposal on behalf of the old committee to set up an orphanage and a nursing home in Yulin Bay. In these years of war, many soldiers have also been sacrificed in Yulin Bay, and a group of elderly people and children who have no one to take care of them have appeared. For example, the brothers Qin Lin and Qin Sen both died on the battlefield, and they have no brothers and sisters beside them, although their parents have been enjoying the treatment of the martyrs' families, but the two old men now have no children under their knees, and they have no one to take care of them in their usual lives. Xia Yang proposed the establishment of nursing homes and orphanages, and the elderly and children were resettled at the expense of Yulin Bay.

The bill did not involve any substantive issues, and it was quickly passed.

But Luan Xu's proposal was debated for a whole day. At present, there are as many as 150,000 people in Yulin Bay, especially a large number of floating people from other places, who have no land or housing in Yulin Bay. There are also some people who are lazy and lazy, and the phenomenon of begging has begun to appear in Yulin Bay. Luan Xu proposed to adopt a containment law to contain all these people and arrange their work collectively.

Shi Xianyang and Liu Guannan expressed strong opposition: "All men are created equal, and everyone has the freedom to move. We cannot deprive them of their freedom just because they affect the so-called cityscape. If that were the case, it would be a violation of our Convention. They do not have any illegal or criminal acts, and begging is also a state of existence that they freely choose. They are in the minority, but it is even more important to deprive a minority of its power for the sake of the so-called majority. ”

Luan Xu knew that he couldn't say anything about Shi Xianyang and Liu Guannan, so after submitting the proposal, he didn't say a word, and could only wait for the vote of the General Assembly.

Sun Tianhao put forward a compromise suggestion on this issue, modelling the later generations to set up aid stations, which can help the homeless to a certain extent. For those who just like to wander around freely, as long as they don't endanger the interests of others, let him go.

The problems were solved one by one, and the crossing of the conference went smoothly. On the last day, a bombshell exploded at the convention. But the three youngest members threw the bomb, Xiao Junzhe, Huo Chengze and Long Hongyun.

The three people jointly proposed that Yulin Bay open the ban on political parties and allow the formation of political parties. And the three of them have all thought of the name of the political party they want to form---- Young China Party.

Xiao Junzhe stood on the rostrum and said impassionedly: "In the past, Liang Ren Gongyun's responsibility today is not for others, but for my youth." The wisdom of the youth is the wisdom of the country, and the wealth of the youth is the wealth of the country; If the youth is strong, the country will be strong, and if the youth is independent, the country will be independent; The freedom of the youth is the freedom of the country; The progress of the youth is the progress of the country; If the youth is better than Europe, the country is better than Europe; If the youth is strong on the earth, the country will be strong on the earth. The red sun is rising, and its path is bright. The river flows out of the subterranean and flows into the ocean. The hidden dragon soars into the abyss, and the scales and claws are flying. The milk tiger roars in the valley, and the beasts are terrified. The falcon tried its wings, and the wind and dust were blowing. The first child of a strange flower, the emperor. The cadres will be hairy, and there will be a man. The sky wears its blue, and the earth wears its yellow. Through the ages, there are eight wildernesses. The future is like the sea, and the future is long. Beautiful I am a young China, and I am not old with the sky! I am a Chinese teenager, and there is no boundary with the country! ’”
