With the formal establishment of the Ministry of Intelligence, the first item on the agenda of the expanded meeting of the Committee has basically ended. The participants then proceeded to prepare for the second agenda item, the question of the convening of the Fourth Plenary Conference.

According to the time of the last plenary meeting, the fourth plenary meeting was supposed to be held at the end of the previous year, but Wang Kunjun and others were in Kaifeng at that time and could not attend. When none of the three members were present, the plenary session would naturally not be convened.

Now that Wang Kunjun and others have returned, the conditions for convening the plenary meeting have been met -- although Xu Shaoan and others are still in Kaifeng, first, they can participate indirectly through the radio, and second, they have Yang Xin, an alternate member, in their presence, so the committee believes that this will not affect the normal convening of the meeting.

However, when Zhang Weixin raised this issue at the enlarged meeting, it did not receive an enthusiastic response. Most of the people at the meeting agreed that since it was called a plenary meeting, it should be attended by all the travelers. Although the members of the "Kaifeng Left-behind Center" can participate through the radio, after all, there is a gap between them, and there is no face-to-face interaction, and the actual participation of the members of the left-behind center will be greatly reduced - not to mention that Lin Xiaoyu does not even have the opportunity to participate through the radio. In addition, the Yellow Sea, which was rushing to Kaifeng day and night, actually had seven fewer direct participants, and its proportion of all the traversers was already quite large, and it was not appropriate to hold a plenary meeting now.

In that connection, it was suggested that the timing of plenary meetings should be adjusted from once a year to once every few years, such as every four or five years. Because as the team continues to grow, it is likely that the crossers will be more dispersed in the future, and they will be farther and farther away from the core area of the team, and the brothers will have a considerable amount of time on the road to attend a plenary meeting, which will have a serious impact on their own work. In addition, with the last team structure reform, the committee was elected every four years, and the need to hold a plenary meeting once a year has also decreased, so it is imperative to revise the time interval between plenary meetings.

Although this proposal received a positive response from the majority of those present, out of prudence, the Committee did not immediately proceed to a vote, but decided, after consultation with everyone, to convene a fourth plenary meeting two days later, with the participation of the Kaifeng Detention Office via radio, to vote on the proposal in unanimity. If it is adopted, the time of the plenary session will be changed to quadrennial, in line with the term of office of the members of the Committee. If it cannot be adopted, the current rule of meeting once a year will be maintained.

Two days later, on the morning of the 15th day of the second month of the lunar calendar, the fourth plenary meeting of the crossing team was held in the "Cool Garden" as scheduled. Among them, 33 travelers participated at the meeting, and Xu Shao'an, Xie Tian, Wang Feng, Lu Yue, and Zheng Zhiwei from the "Kaifeng Detention Center" participated through radio.

According to the usual practice, Li Junwu announced the opening of the meeting, and Zhang Weixin served as the presiding officer of the meeting.

The first topic of the meeting was for each department to make a work report for the five years (the second year of Xiande, 955 AD). The first to make a report was Zhang Weixin, who made a work report on behalf of the committee and summed up the work of the committee over the past year.

Hong Yan, as the deputy director and actual person in charge of the finance department, took the second step to the podium and made a financial report for the previous year to the plenary meeting on behalf of Wang Kunjun.

According to her report, the total revenue of the team in the previous year was 410,000. Among them, the glass business still contributed the most, creating a gross profit of nearly 350,000 yuan. The second is the new salt and iron business opened last year, although the related products were sold to the salt and iron division, but also generated a gross profit of 30,000 yuan. The remaining 30,000 yuan come from other industries of the team, such as "Xiaoyao Building", "Shushang Fang", grain and rice stores, field rent, etc.

Correspondingly, the total expenditure of the team in the previous year was nearly 60,000 yuan. More than half of this is the cost of making artillery, flintlock pistols, related ammunition, and various shiyans. The rest is the cost of production of various industries, as well as the living expenses and wages of all the traversers, soldiers, craftsmen, men, servants, etc.

Combining the above income and expenditure, the team's surplus in the previous year was 350,000 yuan, which was almost 20 times that of the previous year. This figure was a figure that all the attendees were jaw-dropping and hard to believe. Some people even asked Hong Yan if she had read the wrong manuscript and looked at the number by a zero. ,

For someone who dared to question her professional quality, Hong Damei naturally immediately refuted, saying that all the figures were repeatedly checked by all the account clerks of the Finance Department and herself, and reviewed by Wang Kunjun, and there would be no mistakes.

After a brief period of silence, the participants erupted in enthusiastic cheers. Some people even lamented that "they finally have the money to buy a house and marry a daughter-in-law," which made Wang Kunjun and other committee members very depressed, and slandered these brothers in their hearts for "having no conscience" -- with the current income level of the team members, even if there is no year-end bonus, everyone's annual salary income is enough for them to buy a house and marry a daughter-in-law in Liangxiang City.

The main reason why most of the brothers are still singles until now is that their own vision is too high, and they always want to find a girl who is high-grade in appearance and temperament, regardless of status and knowledge. With their criteria for choosing a mate, they are said to be in a good town, even if they look for it in the entire Youdu Mansion, they may not be able to find a few who meet the requirements - not to mention that other girls may not be willing to marry. Therefore, although there was an endless stream of people who came to "Qingyuan" to propose marriage, none of them succeeded.

However, the brothers who beat the singles obviously did not know that the brothers of the committee members were arranging them in their hearts, and after cheering, they began to eagerly look forward to the introduction of this year's profit distribution plan.

Therefore, immediately after Wang Kunjun came forward, according to the original set, ninety percent rolled into the team development fund, one percent - that is, 35,000 yuan - as the year-end bonus distribution method for everyone, will be jointly formulated by the heads of departments and the committee of the specific dividend plan announced, and approved by the plenary meeting.

Subsequently, the Ministry of Science and Technology, the Ministry of Commerce and Trade, the Ministry of Security, the Ministry of Military Affairs, the Ministry of Agriculture, and other functional departments also successively made reports on the work of the previous year to the plenary session.

After the work reports of various functional departments were completed, Zhang Weixin announced the second agenda item -- discussing and voting on the issue of the time interval of the plenary meeting.

Although the people have different opinions on this proposal, the vast majority of people still support the revision of the meeting time based on the actual situation. Therefore, after a short discussion, everyone finally passed the bill by an overwhelming margin.

With the adoption of the conference reform plan, the agenda of the fourth plenary meeting is basically over for most of the traversers, and they can go to HAPPY with a much richer year-end bonus than last year. However, the traversers who were the heads of the department could not relax yet. Because after the meeting, they have to submit the work of their department for this year to the committee before the end of this month, so that the committee can arrange its own work for this year and the plan for the allocation of funds to each department.

The heads of the departments attached great importance to this, and immediately after the plenary meeting they met for consultation with the members of their departments, and a great deal of paperwork was carried out, and all departments, including the Ministry of Intelligence, submitted their annual reports on their work and budget requests to the Committee on time.

Due to the great development of all aspects of the team in the past five years, and the financial situation is also very good, the work submitted by various departments in the past six years has shown a trend of comprehensive expansion and active expansion.

For example, the Ministry of Commerce and Trade has proposed that the gross profit of the six years should be increased by more than 30 percent on the basis of the five years of the calendar. Among them, increasing the number of "Jingbaoxuan" branches in Liao, and through cooperation with Cui Yongnian, opening "Jingbaoxuan" branches to Zhou and Tang are the most important part of completing the profit growth target. Secondly, it is necessary to expand the business scope of catering and entertainment industry (restaurants, green buildings) and daily necessities (mainly salt, iron, and grain) to the entire Nanjing Road, so it is necessary to increase the production scale of the salt and iron industry and the planting area of various grains.

In this series of jihua of the Ministry of Commerce and Trade, except for the catering and entertainment industry, the rest need to be cooperated by other departments. Among them, the glass and salt iron industries need the support of Jishu of the Chemical Engineering Section under the Ministry of Science and Technology, and the food needs the full assistance of the Ministry of Agriculture. In this regard, both departments have formulated corresponding jihua to cooperate.

The Ministry of Science and Technology, while vigorously supporting the Ministry of Commerce and Trade to increase the production capacity of relevant production departments, also proposed to completely solve the problem of modern ammunition production and processing by the end of the year according to the actual development needs of the team, and to complete the equipment renewal of all combat units of the pro-soldier squad and the Flying Dragon Pioneer Battalion as much as possible. At the same time, the research and development of rear-loading rifled guns was intensified, and efforts were made to come up with Shiyan products before the end of the year.

On the one hand, according to the previous year's bumper corn harvest, Zhao Min'an appropriately increased the corn planting area this year to meet the needs of the Ministry of Commerce and Trade. On the other hand, from the needs of the long-term development of the team, the committee also put forward a request to increase the area of arable land owned by the team.

It was not surprising that the Ministry of Military Affairs requested the Committee to carry out the "Operation Tempering" in a timely manner, and hoped that the newly established Intelligence Department would be able to provide it with corresponding information before the operation began, so that the Military Department would be able to better formulate operational operations. In addition, considering the inevitable trend of the team's future development and the need to cooperate with the Northern Expedition of the Zhou Army in a few years, they also proposed that the Flying Dragon Pioneer Battalion should be appropriately expanded now.

As for the request of the Ministry of Military Affairs for intelligence support, Zhang Xiaofei, the newly appointed head of the Ministry of Intelligence, naturally would not refuse. However, considering that Zheng Zhiwei, an expert in this area, is still in Kaifeng, she hopes that the Ministry of Military Affairs can give the Ministry of Intelligence more time. The Military Department also expressed its understanding of this.

The committee carefully studied and calculated the work and budget request reports submitted by each department, and fully communicated with the heads and business backbones of each department, and finally approved the completed work and budget request reports.

With the approval of the work and budget request report, all members of the various functions are ready to go all out and strive to achieve better results for the team in the past six years.
