Chapter 151 Immigrant Resettlement
In addition to brushing their bodies, the immigrants’ hair is also required to be washed carefully in a bun. This is also one of the important areas where various human parasites breed.For some people who are willing to shave their hair, the executive committee also has an extra reward. As long as they shave their heads, they can immediately get two hot big meat buns.Under the lure of delicious food, a considerable number of immigrants who had suffered too much on the way to escape accepted this condition and exchanged their hair for delicious food.

Considering the possible resistance of the public, the Executive Committee currently does not enforce short haircuts in the area under its jurisdiction, and even many militiamen still wear their hair in buns.However, some necessary soft measures have been slowly implemented. For example, if a member wants to be promoted from a second-level laborer to a third-level worker, he must shave his long hair according to the requirements of the executive committee. The same is true for the militiamen in the army. Any militiaman who wants to be promoted to the rank of sergeant must also check whether the soldier has shaved his hair, and those with long hair will lose this precious opportunity for promotion.

The effect of this kind of soft method is not particularly obvious at present, but there are still many people who want to fight for a good background under the rule of the executive committee, and have the courage to shave off their original long hair.And such people, without exception, were quickly taken care of by the executive committee. Those who shaved their hair among the militia were promoted to squad leaders first, and those who shaved their hair among senior workers would also be appointed as foremen immediately.As the old saying goes, what is good at the top will be bad at the bottom. This is a truth that has been tested by history. The Executive Committee believes that under the subtle influence of these soft methods, the social atmosphere that has accumulated will gradually be changed.

The immigrants who washed their bodies were driven by the militia through a curtain and entered another large room, where medical staff conducted a simple examination of their bodies.On the one hand, it is to prevent the inflow of various infectious diseases, and on the other hand, it is also necessary to prevent immigrants from bringing some "illegal" things into the immigrant residential area through this method.

After passing this test, each new immigrant will get two sets of Jibeibu underwear, two sets of coarse cloth underwear and two pairs of straw sandals. Although this expenditure is not a small amount, the Executive Committee believes that uniform clothing will help It is to let the new immigrants establish a collective consciousness as soon as possible and integrate into this brand new living environment.For this reason, the executive committee specially approved a purchase fee for the civil affairs department, allowing them to purchase a large amount of cloth from the local Li people and Yazhou.Some women in the commune who were unable to engage in heavy manual labor also began to change their jobs to become tailors. Sewing and mending is women's specialty. Every time a set of clothes is made, they can get a small amount of processing fees. For them It's also a good job.

The new immigrants are placed in the "special observation area" of the port, where they will spend at least three days of observation, one is to allow them to have a rest and recovery time after the long journey, and the other is to observe Does any of them have a special purpose.

The establishment of this "special observation area" was a suggestion made by He Xi to the relevant departments when he returned to Shengli Port to report on his work last time.He believes that when new immigrants arrive in Hong Kong, it is necessary to start adding "sand" to the immigrants and send some reliable old immigrants to live among the new immigrants for a few days.This has two advantages. One is that it can consciously guide some behaviors and thoughts of new immigrants, and the other is that some people with ulterior motives can be found early, so that relevant departments can effectively prevent problems before they happen.

After discussion, the executive committee adopted He Xi's suggestion, and built four rows of barracks in the area north of the port area near the foot of the mountain, which can accommodate about 500 immigrants at a time.There is a wall built with logs around the barracks. All new immigrants will be restricted to move within the wall for the first few days after landing. After the observation period is over, they will be assigned to the construction sites of various projects.During this period, they will move to live in labor dormitories near the construction site, and some of them who perform better will be eligible for the next batch of members.

Immigrants can get time to rest, but the people who have just rushed back through time can't get so much time to rest.On the evening of arriving at Victory Port, after a simple welcome banquet, it was time to attend the routine work report meeting.

In addition to the North American Gang of Six, the people who came back this time also included more than 30 indigenous sailors driving two sea training ships and two temporary captains belonging to the Ministry of Shipping.In addition, they also brought back 210 three Vietnamese immigrants. Except for a few severely seasick people who were not in good condition, the rest of the immigrants arrived at Victory Port safely.

According to the requirements of the executive committee, they also consciously selected when they shipped immigrants on the east coast of Vietnam, focusing on single women and war orphans.The reason why they are specially asked to introduce single women is also to balance the current population status of the local population with more men than women.Due to the large number of infrastructure projects in the early stage, when the executive committee first introduced immigrants, they selected young and strong immigrants. After the establishment of the commune, they gradually began to move in as a family unit.In addition, there is also an imbalance in the proportion of more men than women within the Time Travel Group. The introduction of a large number of young women has become a necessary condition for maintaining social stability.

The war orphans are the foundation of future rule for the time-traveling group. These helpless children will be raised by the time-traveling group here. When they grow up here in a few years, they will no longer have any monarchy in their minds. God-given or the idea of ​​being loyal to the emperor and serving the country, serving the executive committee will be their main life goal.Although this kind of investment will occupy a lot of funds and the payback period is extremely long, no one in the executive committee has raised any objections or objections to this.

Everyone in the executive committee is very clear that the future time-traveling group will never be limited to this island. When tens of millions or even tens of millions of people are included in the executive committee in the future, what will they need? It is a large number of grassroots managers who are loyal to the executive committee and the Haihan regime.The time-traveling generals will be the future rulers of the Haihan Republic, but these grassroots managers who grew up in this time and space are the real ruling foundation of this regime.The sooner you start cultivating the seeds, the bigger the harvest will be when the time comes.

Among the more than 200 immigrants transported this time, there are more than 40 war orphans, accounting for a very high proportion.After the observation period, these children will be sent to the Scout camp on the east side of the harbor, where they will receive specialized education and skills training.Until they reach the age of 16, some of them will enter the grassroots as civilian officials, while others will directly enter the new barracks to receive militarized management, and then become members of the militia.

In his report, Wang Tom highlighted the current situation of war refugees on the east coast of Vietnam, and urged the executive committee to increase the transportation capacity as soon as possible to rush to transport the population.It is impossible for these fleeing people to gather at the seaside where there is no food supply for a long time. Over time, they will gradually flee to the inland food producing areas, whether they sell themselves as slaves or occupy the mountains as kings. Attracting immigrants will not be as easy as it is now.

In addition, Wang Tom explained in detail the development of the colonization team's infrastructure in Heitu Port, as well as the countermeasures after the heavy rain.Regarding the post-disaster reconstruction of Heitu Port, Wang Tom is not very optimistic: "When we left, there were already many sick cases. To be honest, I am not sure whether they can control the spread of the flu. There is a lack of medicines and disinfection methods locally. This will be a great test for our healthcare workers."

Tao Donglai comforted: "We contacted Heitu Port last night, and the situation there sounds relatively stable. The range of patients has not expanded further, and the weather has begun to improve. All reconstruction work is proceeding smoothly. .In addition, the people from the shipping department had already driven the "Lightning" to Heitu Port the day before yesterday. If all goes well, they should have arrived at Fushuizhou Island by now, and they will arrive at Heitu Port tomorrow at the latest. They will send some urgently needed supplies and medicines to Heitu Port. .”

"There is one more thing I want to talk about." Tom Wang did not forget the development plan of the Black Earth Port Management Committee. Gu Kai and others specially compiled a written report and entrusted Tom Wang to bring it back to Victory Port and report to the executive committee. Report in person.

"The Heitu Port Management Committee has some ideas about the local industrial system. I think it is worth studying." Wang Tom took out the folder from his backpack and began to read the plan: "In order to realize the efficient use of coal resources, To improve the energy strategic development plan of the Executive Committee and promote the smooth operation of the internal settlement system in the financial sector, the Black Earth Port Management Committee has formulated the following development plan after democratic consultation and extensive listening to professional opinions..."

The length of this plan is not too long, but the content is very detailed. Wang Tom spent more than ten minutes reading the whole plan, and finally he added: "I personally think that the plan of the Heitu Port Management Committee has relatively high It is feasible, but this will definitely require more technical support from the base camp, after all, the chemical equipment they need cannot be manufactured locally."

"Equipment is the second priority. Local chemical production will definitely require a large number of professional and technical personnel. How can we support this?" Ning Qi was very sensitive to the problem of human resources: "The three-acid and two-alkali project here has just started. There are still a lot of chemical projects to be carried out in the future, and we may not be able to see the end in another three to five or seven years, so how can we find a technical team to stay at Heitu Port?"

"The coal chemical industry that Heitugang wants to engage in are all shallow and introductory projects, which may not require many technicians." Qiao Zhiya, a chemical expert, interjected and expressed his opinion: "The main projects they plan to build are still coal tar and asphalt. It is not high. It is impossible to further extract naphthalene, benzene, and phenol from coal tar, and there is no way to do it locally. These relatively delicate processes still have to be transported back to the base camp for processing.”
