After Xia Bohai, Qin Zheng and others returned to Qingdao from the farm, they immediately began to form a working group to go to Jinan Prefecture and negotiate with Yuan Shikai to handle the administrative affairs transfer of Jinan Prefecture. Although it has been confirmed that Wang Sheng was appointed as the mayor of Jinan and accepted the prefect of Jinan in the Qing Dynasty, if they want to manage Jinan City, they cannot rely solely on Wang Sheng. Of course, they have to be assigned a management team, even the prefect of the Qing court, and their subordinates also have officials such as Tongzhi, Tongzong, experience, governor, Zhaomo, and Sizhu. This is not considered the personal aides of the prefect.

There were 12 travelers who came to Jinan with Wang Sheng this time, and there were 18 local naturalized people. They were also the first working group to enter Jinan. Of course, the current working group is the leadership team of the Jinan Municipal Government in the future. Even if they were local naturalized people, they could still have a small official in the municipal government in the future.

At the same time as the Jinan Working Group was established, another working group was also established. This working group was led by the Ministry of Security. It will go to Jinan with Wang Sheng and others and establish an intelligence base in Jinan. Wang Sheng's working group will be responsible for open affairs and fight for transportation with Jinan gentry, merchants, local celebrities and others in an official position; while the Ministry of Security's working group is in secret, going deep into the middle and lower levels of Jinan society to understand Jinan's social sentiments, public opinion, collecting intelligence, etc. This light and darkness are all for the time travel group to fully control Jinan.

During this period, the Ministry of Security's main work was to arrange and form an intelligence network in Shanghai and Qingdao to collect intelligence information from these two places. At this time, the work had been completed in stages and played a necessary role in some major events that occurred in Shanghai and Qingdao. Another important task was to train personnel, whether they were time travelers or local naturalized people, some personnel were trained.

Of course, the direction of training is different. Time travelers mainly accept intelligence sorting, division, construction and management capabilities, while local naturalized people accept intelligence observation, acquisition, collection, surveillance, tracking and other aspects. Therefore, the Ministry of Security has now had some professional training staff for about five months, and is no longer as stretched as when it was first established. At this time, Jinan needs to employ people, so I took this opportunity to check the results of the training during this period.

The working group of the Ministry of Security is composed of 19 people, including 5 time travelers and 14 local naturalized citizens. The person in charge is Duan Qian. He will form the main station of the Jinan Intelligence Station with another time traveler Li Guotao and two locals. After arriving in Jinan, he will try to open a shop as the event site of the main station. The other three time travelers will each bring 4 naturalized citizens to form three groups to establish a Jinan branch station in Jinan to form the first batch of nodes of the Jinan Intelligence Network.

Moreover, the staff of the Ministry of Security Working Group did not set out together, but four groups took part in the action to Jinan. Some groups even set out now. After arriving in Jinan City, the three sub-station groups could find the right identity to settle down on their own, and establish contact between superiors and subordinates according to the notice and instructions of the main station. The main station was not only responsible for connecting all the three sub-stations, but also contacting Wang Sheng so that both parties could cooperate with each other and start working on this.

After the two working groups were formed, the matter in Shandong was basically over. The rest of the matter was handled by Wang Yunpeng, who was left behind in Qingdao, and Xia Bohai, Qin Zheng and Xiao Jianjun were also going back to Tianjin. After all, there were still many things to be handled in Tianjin, and the handover in Beijing would also begin. Qin Zheng was also preparing to go to Xi'an to meet the Qing court.

Just the day before Xia Bohai, Qin Zheng and Xiao Jianjun left Qingdao, Gao Shize came to Qingdao, hoping to have another interview with Xia Bohai, Qin Zheng and others as Minister of Agriculture.

Xia Bohai, Qin Zheng and others took over Gao Shize at the Qingdao Command. Xia Bohai first said: "Captain Gao, what are you planning?"

Gao Shize said: "Commander, Political Commissar, Director Wang, after these days of careful consideration, I am willing to accept the position of Minister of Agriculture in the new government. I also thank you for giving me this opportunity."

Xia Bohai laughed and said, "Welcome, welcome to the new government, of course, the premise is that we can be elected to the new government."

Gao Shize also smiled and said, "I have confidence in the current government leadership team. You will definitely be elected to the new government. However, after I became the Minister of Agriculture, I hope the new government can agree to my three requirements."

Xia Bohai said: "What is the requirement? Let's listen."

Gao Shize said: "First, after I became the Minister of Agriculture, I have independent appointment and removal powers for the subordinate officials of the Ministry of Agriculture, including appointing several relatives; the second is that the farm hopes to hand over to my wife for management; the third is that the farm's expansion plan also hopes to continue to advance." After a pause, he further explained: "This is not to say that I want to be nepotist, or to build the Ministry of Agriculture into my private kingdom, but because agriculture is a highly technical department and requires a lot of professional technology.

At present, only our family can be considered agricultural professionals, so the only one who can be used is our family. The Ministry of Agriculture is the same, and the farm is the same. In the old time and space, my wife and I have been running the farm for more than 20 years, and are very good at operating, operating and managing the farm. It can be said that no one except me is better than her. In addition, the expansion of the farm is a great good thing for the government, and I hope the government can continue to implement it."

Xia Bohai thought about it and said, "In principle, we can agree to these three points, but you also know that our government has a system of operation. Even if we can be elected as a new government leadership team, it is impossible to act arbitrarily. In principle, the appointment of officials from the Ministry of Agriculture can be determined by the supervisors of each department. As long as it can be confirmed by the Ministry of Administration, of course, if we can be elected as a new government leadership team, we can guarantee that it will be passed in the Ministry of Administration, but it also needs to comply with our employment system. Article 2 and Article 3 are indeed not me.

Our executive committee can decide that in the future, the heads of our enterprises and institutions will adopt a public recruitment system, and your wife can come out to apply for the job. I believe that with her strength, no one should be able to compete with her. As for the expansion plan of the farm, I personally agree with it, but according to our current system, this requires a voting decision by the Executive Committee meeting. We can only agree to help you do other people's work. In addition, you must further improve the expansion plan of the farm and be prepared for inquiries, so that the chance of passing at the Executive Committee meeting will be higher."

Gao Shize also nodded, and what Xia Bohai said was the truth. At present, the provisional government implemented a collective leadership system. Although the five-member group of the Executive Committee is very powerful, it cannot cover up the sky and act arbitrarily. Therefore, the Executive Committee can only do this. To achieve these goals, it requires further efforts. So he said: "Okay, I am very grateful to the Executive Committee for being able to do these."

Qin Zheng said: "I believe that the new government with high field leaders will be able to better exercise our ruling power and seek blessings for the time travel group."

Although Xia Bohai has always emphasized that the current leadership team is "if it can be elected as a new government leadership team", in fact, everyone knows that this is almost a foregone conclusion. On the one hand, the Provisional Government has done a good job in the past year and achieved remarkable results. On the other hand, the Provisional Government has a deep foundation in the Time Travel Group, and now there is no political opponent that can threaten them at all. Therefore, in some unconscious times, some people have begun to regard themselves as new governments, and of course no one is more serious at this time.

At this time, Gao Shize said: "There is another thing that I forgot to mention last time. Now I think it is necessary to report it to you."

Xia Bohai said: "What's the matter?"

Gao Shize's * was also a little embarrassed and said, "It's not really big, but it's not small. In addition to my family, the other 15 people who work on the farm are basically young people, including only two girls. The remaining 13 are under 40 years old, and 9 are under 30 years old. And when they were working on the farm, they were all single. In the past few months, they have developed into two pairs, but there are only two girls, so the others are still single."

Although I don’t understand what Gao Shize wants to say, these words also touched Xia Bohai, Qin Zheng and others. In fact, this is a long-lasting problem for the entire Time Travel Group. The male-female ratio of the Time Travel Group is extremely unbalanced, with the ratio of the men and women exceeding 8:1, and there are even a very small number of people traveling through time. Even if the couple is considered to be the same family, there are no more than 100, and single men account for the majority of them in their prime. Therefore, the personal problems of male time travelers have become a major concern for the Executive Committee.

Gao Shize continued: "But among the prisoners' families, there are many young girls. Over the past month, many time travelers have been very close to them. According to my observation, at least three couples have had sex with each other, and they are in a state of cohabitation or semi-cohabitation. One person seems to have found a pair of sisters."

After hearing Gao Shize's words, Xia Bohai, Qin Zheng and others were also surprised. Wang Yunpeng said: "Captain Gao, haven't you stopped them?"

Gao Shize smiled bitterly and said, "Director Wang, people are in love freely, what can I say? It's not even heavy or serious."

Wang Yunpeng said: "But they are the children of prisoners."
