On this overgrown training ground, all the time travelers gathered together and convened the first general meeting. 【Read the latest chapter】
Although many things had been planned a few months ago, some key issues are still unresolved, and there is great controversy and no conclusion. The committee decided to write all these issues into statutory law through voting before the crossing began, as a guideline for future actions. This was later known as the "Training Ground Conference."
The plans that have been hotly debated on the Traveler Forum for the past few months have been put out for everyone to discuss. After discussion and revision, several important plans have gained everyone's approval. Although there is some opposition, there is not much support.
First, the conference made a series of definitions for various terms:
Travelers/travelers: all residents of this time and space who participated in this time and space migration. Regardless of gender, age, occupation, or nationality.
Natives: Natives of all 17th century time and space. Regardless of gender, age, occupation, ethnicity, or nationality.
Because there is no practical experience in how political institutions operate, the entire system is guided by simplicity and clarity, without getting entangled in too many professional terms. The meeting decided:
The highest authority of the future time-traveling political system is the General Assembly of time-travelers (the time-traveling conference.
The Cross-Border Assembly has the power to elect and reorganize the Cross-Border Executive Committee, formulate various laws and policies, and decide on important internal and external affairs. Under normal circumstances, it is held once a month. When major emergencies occur, it can be convened on a temporary initiative by more than three members of the executive committee or more than one-third of the travelers. Except for special circumstances, more than 9o% of travelers must attend the conference.
All time-travelers who are over 18 years old automatically become members of the time-travel conference. Have the right to elect and be elected as a member of the Executive Committee. The number of members of the time travel assembly cannot be increased or decreased. When the time traveler retires, his or her seat can be inherited by one of his or her designated children at a ratio of 1:1.
The Travel Administrative Executive Committee (Executive Committee) is the permanent administrative body of the Travelers, with the power to stipulate administrative measures, formulate administrative regulations, issue decisions and orders; propose proposals to the Travel Conference; and is responsible for all administrative affairs.
Its members are composed of the chief and deputy heads of various administrative professional departments under the executive committee.
1. Industry, Communications, Energy, and Transportation Committee (Ministry of Industry
2. Agriculture Committee (Ministry of Agriculture
3. Committee on Foreign Affairs and Commerce (Department of Commerce
4. Military Commission (Ministry of Military Affairs)
5. Internal Affairs and Civil Affairs Committee (Ministry of Internal Affairs
6. Planning Committee (Planning Committee
Under each committee, there are various professional groups. Considering the limited professional manpower, the actual use of personnel and materials is still coordinated by the committee as a unit.
Among them, the tasks of the newly established planning committee are to manage the collection, storage, auditing and release of various resources; to assess the use of resources; and to collect and implement various construction policies.
In addition to the various ministries, the Executive Committee has direct jurisdiction over:
General Affairs Group: Responsible for document work, file collection and organization, and coordinating the work of the committee.
it group: Responsible for the operation of all computer systems.
Intelligence and Information Group: Manage and master all information materials brought by travelers
Policy Consultation Group: Provide various policy consultations to the Cross-Trade Conference and the Executive Committee.
The leader of the direct group is also a member of the executive committee.
There are many different opinions on departmental settings. The focus is mainly on whether the power of the Planning Committee is too great and who will supervise the possible problems in the operation of the Executive Committee. Therefore, among the three full-time executive members, in addition to the chairman of the executive committee and the secretary-general of the executive committee, there is an additional supervisory committee member.
In this way, the entire executive committee has a total of 19 executive members. When the Executive Committee decides on major matters, it must be approved by a majority of the General Assembly to be effective. The term is 4 years. If a minister, etc., relinquishes his seat before the expiration of his term of service, his department shall hold a joint meeting to elect a person to take his seat until the end of the term or the next election. If the department cannot meet to decide, the Executive Committee may act on the basis of nomination or designation of an individual to exercise authority until the General Assembly meets to elect a new individual. This meeting is held twice a week and can be convened at any time in an emergency.
Immediately, the time travelers voted to pass the Executive Committee's Proposal No. 1: authorizing a temporary emergency period in the early stages of time travel. During this period, except for declarations of war, treaties, and major personnel reorganizations, all matters are solely responsible for the Executive Committee. deal with. The Executive Committee has the authority to implement any policies and actions it deems beneficial to all thru-hikers. The state of emergency lasts for 6 months from day d. After expiration, the general meeting will decide whether to extend it.
Until the Time Travel Conference deems it necessary to make changes to the traveler welfare policy, time travelers will enjoy the supply system of daily necessities: including food, clothing, and medical care. No payment is required.
Benefits are distributed in the form of shareholding dividends.
Travel equipment is divided into two parts: personal and public.
The personal portion (e.g. someone's ownership and use of moonshine remains entirely to the individual).
The public part is composed of items and cash that are surrendered to the organization by the public (or items that were originally privately owned by the committee). After the items are handed over, they are completely owned by the organization. The distribution and use of the items are completely determined by the organization. It is determined by the accountant and asset liquidator Comprehensive liquidation is carried out based on the value before crossing and the use value after crossing, and then converted into stocks with only dividend rights and released to each member.
Each time traveling group, regardless of whether they have capital investment or not, will unconditionally receive 100,000 original dividend shares - children are no exception - this is to provide a minimum guarantee for time traveling groups with limited financial conditions.
The stock unit is a point coupon (through the internal accounting currency of the public, 1 share = 1 point coupon.
Benefit distribution is divided into 4 parts:
1. Position salary: Each employee receives different salaries according to their work, which is distribution according to work. In principle, the highest job salary is no more than twice the lowest salary.
2. Rewards: Those who have made significant contributions to the work of the public will be given rewards (in kind or in accounting currency) to stimulate everyone's enthusiasm for work. Rewards are one-time and temporary. According to the level, they are divided into conference level, department level level, group level and three levels.
3. Subsidy: Extra allowance for those who have special skills, engage in dangerous tasks, and work long hours among the traveling public.
4. Dividends: 10% of the total income from the commercial organization's profits and military organization's trophies are withdrawn as stock dividends and distributed to each shareholding member every year.
5. Welfare Foundation: 2% of the total income from the time-travel organization's commercial organization profits and military organization trophies will be withdrawn every year as the special income of the time-traveler foundation. The proceeds from the foundation will be used to cover the welfare expenses of future travelers and their children’s education expenses.
Stocks only have dividend rights, which only affect the amount of dividends received. If a general meeting of the general public is held, it will still be one person, one vote instead of one share, one vote.
After the death of the public, half of the stock will be given to the person or institution designated by him according to his will (no limit on the number), and the other half will be taken back to the state. All holders of stocks will be deduced in the same way.
All current benefit distributions are calculated based on points. Except under special circumstances, individuals cannot increase their holdings of stocks.
As for those who are interested and have asked whether the country they are traveling through can provide multiple child subsidies, the Executive Committee’s answer is to wait until you have children. Welfare issues are too complex to allow for too much naturalization at the moment.
Generally speaking, everyone is quite satisfied with the entire political system and distribution system. After the meeting, everyone received his stock certificate - which the executive committee spent a lot of money to customize at a local printing factory, and it has the feel of banknote paper. , blue ink, extremely complex patterns, the central pattern is a ship riding the wind and waves under the morning sun, and the holder's name, code and serial barcode are also printed on it - so that it can be replaced if it is lost or damaged. The Executive Committee also specially provides each certificate with a plastic waterproof bag with a lanyard.
"200,000 shares, damn, I don't know how much dividends I can get in the future. Is it enough to raise 4-5 wives?"
"It's worthless. This bonus is nothing." Wu Nanhai stuffed the stock certificate into the waterproof bag. "I hope that after I die, there will be dozens of children fighting for inheritance lawsuits!" He looked at 21 with pride. The sky of the 17th century - under the sky of the 17th century, Wu Nanhai, the otaku who graduated from the Agricultural University, will satisfy his illustrious ambitions.
On the first Saturday after the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday, Guo Yi had just gotten up when his cell phone rang.
The call was from the section chief:
"Xiao Guo, the time travel company you scouted last time——"
"Yes! I have submitted the relevant report."
"There is a problem with this company. You are required to come to the office within 20 minutes." After saying this, the section chief hung up the phone. This made Guo Yi break into a cold sweat - he didn't just say there was a problem casually. To say there was a problem meant that there was a big problem.
I arrived at the office within 18 minutes. In addition to the section chief, there was also a leader of the foreign affairs department of the agency and two foreigners, a man and a woman. The woman has golden blue eyes, and the man has a black-eyed, pure-bred Chinese appearance. Based on his years of work experience, you can tell at a glance that this is ABC. These two foreigners seemed to be very skilled, and most likely they were staff serving in the powerful department.
"This is Xue Ziliang, and this is his partner Salina." The section chief introduced, "They are field staff of the USA Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms Bureau. Half a month ago, the Bureau issued a notice. Several Chinese men transported a large amount of firearms and ammunition to Hawaii, rented a 100-ton yacht in the state, and then left the port. The sailing procedures were to go to Vietnam. They suspected that these firearms and ammunition were on the ship."
"Will it enter our waters?"
"Let's put it this way, I think their destination is not Vietnam at all, but most likely mainland China!"
"And they had frequent contact with the time-travel company you investigated last time!" the section chief added.
Guo Yi's head banged - is this serious, smuggling weapons and ammunition, or smuggling them from the United States to China? The nature of this case is serious.
The department agreed that the two American agents would accompany them as observers to provide assistance in handling the case. Guo Yi returned to his office in a daze with the materials. He felt a bit like being drunk - he was worried and looking forward to it. If this case is solved, it will be a great achievement.
"Hello, let's start as soon as possible." said the Chinese agent named Xue Ziliang, who spoke fluent Mandarin.
In the conference room, Xue Ziliang and his partner introduced some suspicious situations they had detected.
"There were five Chinese men, two Chinese women, one Latino woman and one Chinese girl on board."
He handed Guo Yi the folder to look at, which contained everyone's photos and personal information.
"According to our investigation, there were two families on the boat, one of which had children. The Latina woman seemed to be the girlfriend of one of the Chinese men. But we don't know very well because we don't even know her name."
Guo Yi was a little confused. Is there such an arms smuggling group? If you don’t care about women, why do you still have children?
Seeing his doubts, Xue Ziliang said:
"We think they may be conducting some illegal smuggling trade in the name of family sailing." He told Guo Yi that the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms found in the past month that these people were purchasing large quantities of SKS semi-automatic rifles. The number of firearms and bullets is astonishing, far exceeding the needs of normal firearms enthusiasts. Moreover, they already own a large number of private guns and purchase hundreds of weapons. Few Chinese Americans in the United States do such a thing - their motives are obviously bad. "
"Then you think it's appropriate for white Americans to behave like this?" Guo Yi was extremely disgusted with this last sentence. You banana, you don't even know what color your skin is!
"No, no, that's not what I meant." Xue Ziliang was a little embarrassed. Racial issues have always been a relatively sensitive topic in the United States. "What I mean is that this is not in line with the behavior of the Chinese ethnic group, and it does not deny that they enjoy the rights guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution." The power given..." In order to change the subject, he quickly continued, "There is also a person here who has a criminal record." He pointed to a page in the folder. The photo showed a Chinese man with Chinese characters and a face. Bai Tou, "This man's name is Lin Chuanqing. He was once the smuggler of a smuggling group and is familiar with the smuggling route from the United States to the South China Sea. With him driving the boat, we have to doubt its true destination!"
"Besides the phone call, are there any other suspicious points that can be connected to the time travel company?"
"We don't know who they are contacting. It was only when we arrived at your department that we found out that the numbers belonged to the 'Crossing Company' and related persons. We called the country and found out that one of the five men had been in the Seven I returned to China a few months ago, and the port of entry was Guangzhou. This is his material."
Guo Yi took a look, Shi Niaoren, this name is so weird, he looks like he is a doctor by profession. Or infectious diseases. Would such a white-faced middle-aged man go to smuggle arms?
Guo Yi called, checked the information, and asked the General Affairs Department to bring some soluble coffee on the way - these two Americans had no intention of taking a rest, and it looked like they were going to have a big fight.
The result of a call to the local department shocked Guo Yi: the crossing company had canceled the lease half a month ago! The base is now empty, except for two old janitors who know nothing about it, there is no one left.
Where to go? After a while of frantic phone calls, I finally learned from the highway management department. Many cars owned by the company went to a certain county in Leizhou Peninsula via the highway - this county happened to have a port!
port? Could it be the pick-up location? Then there must be a boat! Guo Yi's thoughts turned to this, and suddenly he remembered the day he visited the training base alone: the base has a harbor, and there are boats in the harbor...
He immediately started making calls.
