Another name of Li Songchen's report is [Several Opinions on Rural Situation in Tianjin to Build Rural Areas]. Although it was written mainly by Li Songchen, the signatures were Li Songchen, Wang Sheng and Zeng Dong.

It turned out that after the three investigation teams completed their respective investigations, they all submitted an investigation report to the interim executive committee. After reading these three reports, the five permanent executive members were also very satisfied. Among them, the report submitted by Li Songchen was the most comprehensive, because he not only understood the rural situation in Tianjin, but also put forward some opinions on building and managing rural areas. It can be seen that Li Songchen has indeed put in some effort to investigate the rural situation. Of course, Wang Sheng and Zeng Dong's report also have many advantages.

Therefore, the Interim Executive Committee immediately met with three people, not only decided to establish the Ministry of Agriculture, but also appointed Li Songchen as the Minister of Agriculture, Wang Sheng and Zeng Dong as the Deputy Minister, and asked them to merge the contents of the three investigation reports and rewrite a new report for discussion at the enlarged meeting of the Interim Executive Committee. So the three people gathered together again, led by Li Songchen, and completed a new report overnight.

The report first lists many figures in the rural situation in Tianjin, such as the current economic situation of large landlords, landlords, self-cultivated farmers, tenant farmers, etc. Overall, the land relationship in Tianjin is not too tense. There is almost a considerable number of landlords in each village. Self-cultivated farmers and taxes are basically within the scope that farmers can bear. Although the burden of tenant farmers is relatively heavy, due to the relatively developed commerce in Tianjin, and the establishment of the concession objectively promoted the urbanization process of Tianjin, which not only provided abundant materials for the Tianjin area, but also provided relatively more employment opportunities for farmers to make up for their lives. Therefore, the land contradictions in Tianjin, the contradictions between farmers and landlords in Tianjin have been relatively eased, and have not developed to the point of comprehensive intensification.

However, the outbreak of the Eight-Nation Alliance's war of aggression against China not only intensified the conflict between farmers and foreigners in Tianjin, but also broke the balance and normal order in Tianjin, resulting in a large loss of agricultural population, a large amount of farmland and land was abandoned, and the rural system was completely disrupted. This gave the Time Travel Group the opportunity to redistribute land in the Tianjin area and establish a new order. Moreover, the Time Travel Army defeated the Eight-Nation Alliance in succession, recovered Tianjin City, and the victory of the Tianjin Concession, coupled with the strict military discipline, also left a good impression on the farmers in Tianjin area, which were all the advantages of the Time Travel Group.

Therefore, Li Songchen suggested that five to eight working groups be established immediately, with the number of people in each working group being about ten, protected by a squad of soldiers, and scattered to the rural areas around Tianjin to work. The work content includes four aspects:

1. Use existing prisoners to help the current farmers carry out autumn harvest. By the autumn harvest of unowned fields, the food obtained can be distributed to the farmers and retained a part of them themselves. This will not only win the farmers' support and sense of belonging to the Crossing Group, but also increase the Crossing Group's own grain reserves.

2. Reorganize and build the remaining villages to build new housing for farmers and form new villages. The newly built housing can be first given to farmers and repaid year by year. This can break the rural clan system and establish a rural grassroots administrative management system. First, the working group can be responsible for the rural administrative management, and then gradually transition to each village to establish its own management system.

3. Redistribute the land, collect all the unowned land as owned by the Crossing Group, and then rent the land to farmers for cultivation according to unified conditions, and find people with farming experience in the Crossing Group as much as possible, study and improve farming techniques, and in the Long-term plan is to manufacture new, automate farming and produce chemical fertilizers to increase the yield of crops per mu. At the same time, formulate a tax system that farmers can accept to ensure that farmers are relieved and that the Crossing Group has a stable source of fiscal revenue.

4. Gradually establish a rural security system to ensure the ruling foundation of the traversing group in the countryside. If Tianjin City is abandoned in the future, the traversing group can still rely on the countryside and exist in the Tianjin area.

This report [Investigation on Rural Situation in Tianjin and Several Opinions on Building Rural Areas] caused uncontroversy at the meeting.

Of course, there is no objection to the reorganization of rural areas, reallocating land, and establishing a grassroots management system, because from the experience gained from the old time and space, these things are indispensable. The disputes are mainly concentrated in two areas. One is to collect all the unowned land as the Shipping Group and then rent it to farmers to cultivate. Because now, farmers in Tianjin are losing a large amount of unowned land, and there are a large amount of unowned land. If all these lands are collected as the Shipping Group, what will happen in the future if some farmers come back and ask for land from the Shipping Group? In addition, how to deal with the existing farmers' own land, whether to force them to be owned by the Shipping Group, and if they are not forced to collect it, it means that public and private land coexist, and whether it will affect it.

Second, at the end of Li Songchen's report, it was mentioned that it is possible to withdraw from Tianjin City in the future, and the concession was aroused dissatisfaction among many people, because in the eyes of many people, the occupied areas must not be withdrawn, and even some people shouted at the meeting that no flags that have been planted through the crossing group will be allowed to fall.

However, Li Songchen was prepared for these disputes, so he could answer them calmly. For the first question, Li Songchen first explained that the current situation in Tianjin is that there are few people and many land, and the number of existing farmers cannot digest all the land in Tianjin. The remaining land can be centrally managed and cultivated by the Travel Group. Anyway, there are a large number of prisoners now, so such free labor is not in vain.

If ordinary farmers come back to Tianjin, they can organize them to re-establish villages, grassroots management systems, and rent the land to them for cultivation, which is similar to their past. However, if the landlords come back, they can only rent and plant the land of the Time Travel Group like other farmers, but if they want to return their previous land, they don’t even think about it. Because these lands can be considered as being taken back by the Time Travel Group from the Eight-Nation Alliance. If you want the land, you can go to the Eight-Nation Alliance for asking for it.

Regarding the issue of land ownership, public land and private land coexist, but the future development goal is to collect all land as public. At present, it is only prohibited to buy private land, and only the purchase of private land can be purchased by the Travel Group, but no forced acquisition is carried out. After all, the Travel Group has not yet established enough prestige. Instead, it has formed rural cooperation and mutual assistance organizations among farmers who rent land, and the Travel Group provides them with technical guidance on farming and renting advanced farming clubs for guidance, so that farmers who own land can voluntarily transfer the land to the Travel Group.

Regarding the second question, Li Songchen explained that this is just an idea of ​​his own. Although he does not want to give up the place he has occupied, no one can predict the future. Therefore, there is also the possibility of giving up Tianjin under certain special circumstances. For example, if you exchange interests, or concentrate your efforts, etc., it is possible to give up Tianjin City and Tianjin Concession. However, as long as you can take root in the countryside, you can maintain the existence of the Time Travel Group in Tianjin area.

Li Songchen's explanation can basically satisfy most of the people who questioned it. Although there are still a few people who are stubborn and firmly believe that the land system violates the principle of inviolability of private property, and no matter what the reason, no inch of land cannot be given up. However, after all, the number of people is too small and cannot play a big role. Therefore, the report compiled by Li Songchen and others has also been approved, and the composition and work plan of the working group are all arranged by the Ministry of Agriculture.

At this time, the enlarged meeting of the Interim Executive Committee was officially concluded. Next, Wang Yunpeng and Xu Jichao were co-chaired, and the Executive Ministry meeting was recruited to formulate detailed work plans and arrangements for each department.

Xia Bohai, Qin Zheng and Xiao Jianjun presided over the recruitment of the Military Commission meeting to improve the institutions of the Military Commission.

First, the Military Commission established three departments: the Operations Command, the Equipment Logistics Department and the Political Department. The Operations Command, Xiao Jianjun is in charge of the Operations Command, Xia Bohai is in charge of the Assembly Logistics Department; Qin Zheng is in charge of the Political Department.

In addition, under the combat command, the Navy and Army Department were established. The Navy Department was commander of Kunming Ship, and the Yueyang Ship, commander of Wang Hailong, served as deputy minister. The Army Department was commander of the Marine Corps, Zhu Yaping, and Qin Yuhai served as deputy minister. All Marine soldiers were converted into the army.

There were originally people who suggested that the existing helicopters and unmanned reconnaissance aircraft be concentrated and the Air Force headquarters were established, but they were rejected by Xia Bohai, Qin Zheng and Xiao Jianjun. After all, this approach was not very meaningful, so the helicopters and unmanned reconnaissance aircraft were still owned by the Navy and were the Navy aviation units. The Type 05 amphibious combat vehicles carried by the crossing forces were all owned by the Army. The three H410 civilian helicopters carried by the other three passenger and roller boats were owned by the Army, and these three helicopters were formed by the Army aviation units.

At the same time, a Military Intelligence Office was established to collect military intelligence.

The second is to determine the recruitment of soldiers and expand the size of the army. The first batch of recruited troops planned to form three battalions, which were organized in the three-three system. However, the most basic combat squad consisted of twelve people. This is mainly because the rifles in this era were not strong and could only be compensated by quantity. The military's standard weapons are the Japanese Type 0 Murata Rifle and the Hanyang-made Type 88 Rifle, which are also the most seized rifles by the Crossing Group at present. Due to the insufficient number of machine guns and artillery artillery companies, the newly organized three battalions have not yet set up firepower enhancement companies or artillery companies to enhance the troops.
