1627 Rise of the South China Sea

Chapter 2160
Although Xiu Nian has never been in the officialdom, but when he was in Hirado Guangming Temple, he was in charge of the temple's material procurement work. He has a lot of experience in dealing with businessmen from all walks of life and has seen all kinds of fancy talk. He believed Jiang Zian's words to be true.

However, he still cooperated with a gesture of gratitude, and quickly expressed that he would do his best to assist Jiang Zian in managing this group of Japanese immigrants.

According to the resettlement plan, the group of Japanese immigrants sent to Baiquan Town will be further dispersed, and the ten villages under the jurisdiction of Baiquan Town will receive them separately.And these ten villages have also sent people in charge, waiting to lead people back to resettle.

Ding Hui took out the roster of immigrants, counted the head count with Jiang Zian, confirmed that there was no difference or casualties during the handover, and delivered the daily necessities that were sent along with them, and then Jiang Zian signed the receipt document, and the two parties were considered The immigration handover work was successfully completed.

The team escorting the immigrants only took a short rest here before setting off for Dinghai Port.While it was still early, they could still rush back before dark, otherwise they would have to stay in Baiquan Town for the night.

And Xiu Nian has officially entered the working state since this time. He first got assistance from the town hall to distribute the two hundred immigrants to the local villages.However, at the level of Baiquan Town, there is no more detailed list drawn up in advance. The person in charge sent by each village draws lots in advance to arrange the order, and each village picks 20 people to take away according to the order of draw.

However, in order to prevent the young and strong from being selected by the villages in the front, only the old and weak, women and children are left for the villages in the back. Each village can only pick five people in each round, and if the people picked have family members, they will be counted together in the allotment quota.If the number of people selected in the first round plus their family members reaches 20, then there will be no chance to be selected in the next few rounds.

Given that there is no time to slowly formulate a more detailed distribution method, this is already a fairer local method that can be thought of at the moment.However, for Xiu Nian, the allocation process was a lot of work. He had to explain the allocation plan to the immigrants and assist the representatives of each village to complete each round of selection.

Although there were only two hundred people, this torment took more than an hour, and Xiu Nian's saliva was dry, and he couldn't help but recall the time when he organized immigrants to board the ship at Hirado Port.

And Jiang Zian didn't participate too much in this process, and only when there was a controversial situation, would he speak to make a final decision.Xiu Nian guessed that the new boss was observing her ability to work, and she didn't dare to neglect her at the moment.

After finally finishing this task, Xiu Nian stepped forward to report to Jiang Zian, and then asked for instructions on her whereabouts.His establishment was not among the two hundred immigrants, and it was up to Jiang Zian to decide which village he would go to.

"You don't need to go to any village, just stay at the town hall first!" Jiang Zian's answer was somewhat beyond Xiu Nian's expectations.

But he soon realized that if he was assigned to any of these villages, it would be difficult to take care of the Japanese immigrants in other villages.And staying in the town office of Baiquan Town is equivalent to sitting in the local power center, and he can maximize his role as the only translator.

Each village took away the new immigrants, and the resettlement work was over. Xiu Nian followed Jiang Zian to the town office with her luggage.

This Jiang Zian doesn't have any airs, he would nod his head whenever he greeted someone on the road, and sometimes he would stop to chat with people and ask a few things about his parents, it can be seen that he is not as close as he appears on the surface The appearance of human feelings.

After walking for two miles on the Tiankan trail, we arrived at the center of Baiquan Town. Jiang Zian introduced the general situation of the town to Xiu Nian as he walked.

Although the administrative level of Baiquan Town is a "town", because the local population is mainly concentrated in the ten subordinate villages, the entire town has a total of more than 2000 people.In fact, there are not many families in the so-called town. They are all official institutions such as town halls, schools, clinics, and police stations. The permanent residents are the employees of these institutions.

Although the villages are not too far away from the town, and the farthest village is less than ten miles away, the people generally have nothing to do and will not run to the town.After all, for most people, going to the town is either to do business, or to go to the market on the first and fifteenth day of each month.And even if most people have something to do in the town, as long as they are not in a hurry, they will wait for the two days before going to the market to save time on the road.

In addition to Jiang Zian, the mayor of the town office, there are seven or eight staff members who are responsible for finance, documents, farming, civil affairs, infrastructure and other affairs, and Jiang Zian himself is also in charge of some of the work.As for institutions such as public security, education, and medical care, they are all in charge of special personnel sent by the Zhoushan Management Committee, and they are equal institutions belonging to different systems from the town office.

The dormitories allocated by the town hall to the staff, although they are just ordinary brick and tile houses, are already considered high-end residences in an agricultural area like Baiquan Town, and Xiu Nian was allocated a single room.

Although the space in the house is small, there is only a bed, a cabinet, a table and chairs, and all of them are old goods that are obviously old, but this is really not bad for Xiu Nian.When he was in Guangming Temple, he had to share a meditation room with more than a dozen other brothers. Only the abbot was eligible to live in a single room, which was simply a luxury for him.

When I first arrived in Seogwipo, there wasn't even a place to shelter from the wind and sun. At that time, Xiu Nian thought it would be good to have a roof to cover her body.But later he was promoted as a temporary assistant, and he enjoyed the treatment of living in a simple tent.When they arrived at the immigration camp on Zhoushan Island, the conditions improved a bit, and they lived in a four-person room. Xiu Nian felt that this should be the best treatment she could enjoy in a short period of time. Can go up one more level.

"Let's live here temporarily. If you plan to get married and start a family after you return to vulgarity, you can apply for a bigger house at that time."

When Xiu Nian heard Jiang Zian's introduction, she could only smile and said, "Thank you mayor, the villain has no plans for this for the time being, this place is fine."

Xiu Nian intends to return to vulgarity only because he knows that it will be difficult for him to live as a monk after he arrives in Haihan.When he was in Seogwipo, he asked the Haihan soldiers he knew, and confirmed that there were not many temples in Haihan Kingdom, and the life of monks in Haihan was not easy, and most of them had to farm by themselves.It might be a bit difficult in Haihan to live on incense money like in Guangming Temple.

As for getting married and starting a family, Xiu Nian has not considered it yet.For him, keeping his own livelihood first and striving for a stable living environment is the most important thing, and other needs can be later.

"Follow me to dinner first, I have something to ask you later."

The town hall does not have a special canteen, but shares a canteen with several other official institutions in the town.As a benefit of being a public servant, there is no need to spend extra money for the meal. Although the quality of the food is average, it is better than being able to keep one's stomach full. For someone like Xiu Nian who has just arrived and has no family background, it is simply good news.

Even during the most difficult time in Seogwipo, Xiu Nian was lucky not to go hungry, but he was very impressed by the lack of food and clothing in the temporary immigration camp. When we were serving porridge, many people were so hungry that their eyes turned red.

At that time, Xiu Nian once thought that this might be caused by the lack of supplies of the Haihan Army, and could only starve immigrants to meet the needs of the army. However, before the coalition forces left Seogwipo, they held a celebration meeting there, and Xiu Nian understood the so-called The food shortage is just a situation deliberately created by the Haihan Army, intended to wear down the rebellious emotions of the immigrants, so that they have to choose to submit in order to survive.

But even if he was aware of this inside story, Xiu Nian had no intention of resisting Hai Han. Even the mighty Hirado Army was completely defeated. What effect would his resistance of a monk have?It's better to make good use of your own opportunities and get out of the class that is arbitrarily manipulated earlier, that is the wisest choice.

While Xiu Nian was eating in the cafeteria, besides meeting a few colleagues from the town office, there was also Wang Xiucai, who was walking every step and three times, Qu, the director of the police station who was a veteran like Jiang Zian, and a man who cherished words like gold. But it is said that Dr. Liu is quite capable.These people, like them, settled their dinners in the cafeteria.After all, this is a work benefit, and it can save yourself a lot of money after a long time.

After eating, Xiu Nian followed Jiang Zian back to the town hall.Jiang Zian brought Xiu Nian to his office, poured him a cup of hot water, and motioned him to sit down and talk.

"We are the managers of Baiquan Town. We work together and perform our duties to ensure that the people here are safe and well-fed. What you will do in the future is also the same as ours. Do you understand?"

Xiu Nian lifted his spirits and realized that he had also become a member of the "Baiquan Town Manager", which was a very crucial step for him.

"Regarding the regulations on labor points and labor grades, you should have learned it when you were training in the immigration camp, right?"

Xiu Nian quickly nodded and replied: "The villain has already learned it, but he has not been exposed to the actual situation, and there are still too many things that he doesn't quite understand."

Jiang Zi'an said: "Before you are naturalized, you new immigrants can only earn points through hard work in exchange for the necessities you need. You need living places, food, clothing, daily necessities to live here, medical treatment when you are sick, and schooling for your children. , All of these conditions require the labor points you have obtained as a guarantee. In the future, when you apply for naturalization, your points and labor levels must reach the corresponding level before you can pass. "

"Of course, the number of points you get varies from job to job. For example, if you work as an errand in the township office, the points you get every day are more than three times that of the other 200 people. So as long as you work hard, the time for naturalization is just around the corner. After you are naturalized, you will be able to get a salary every month."

In fact, Xiu Nian had already heard about these contents when she was receiving training in the immigration camp, but it was not as practical as Jiang Zian's, and she didn't know the direct impact of this system on her life.After listening to Jiang Zian's explanation, Xiu Nian had a more intuitive understanding of this.

Jiang Zian continued: "I will slowly arrange for you what you are going to do in Baiquan Town. To put it simply, you are responsible for following up and dealing with the living problems of the two hundred Japanese immigrants assigned to each village. , If you can’t handle it, report it to the village head and ask him for assistance. If the village head can’t handle it, report it to the town office, and the town office will come forward to coordinate. If even the town office can’t handle it, then I will report to the management Committee report. As for what needs to be reported, you must have learned it in the immigration camp."

Xiu Nian quickly responded: "Anyone who commits crimes, refuses to obey discipline, tries to escape, and likes leisure and hard work, must report as soon as possible."

Jiang Zian nodded and said: "That's right, Haihan Kingdom doesn't support idlers. If you want to take root here, you must follow the rules of our country. But you are from Japan, and your language, culture and living habits are different from our country. , newcomer here, there will inevitably be some problems in daily communication, you have to try your best to solve them."

Xiu Nian secretly groaned inwardly, but she still complied respectfully.He thought it would be fine for the 200 people to live in one or two places, but they settled in ten places. If it was a big problem, he would tell himself to go to the settlement to solve it, and he might have to run away in a few days.

Jiang Zian seemed to have seen through his mind, and continued: "The village will naturally try to deal with ordinary small things, and you won't be exhausted all day to deal with trivial things. But these new immigrants live in various villages and You must master the labor situation. Starting tomorrow, you will go to two villages every day to learn about the resettlement situation in the local area and deal with the problems that arise during the resettlement. If you come back early, you will report to me on the same day. If you come back late, you will Come to me the next morning."

Xiu Nian felt that this job might have many difficulties for him who was unfamiliar with the place of life, and was about to say a few words, but Jiang Zian didn't give him a chance to speak: "If you can't do such a simple thing well, then I I don’t think there’s any need to waste the public funds of the town hall to support you, when the time comes, you’ll just farm the land honestly with other people.”

Xiu Nian swallowed the excuses that were already on the tip of his lips. He didn't expect his boss to present him with a problem so quickly. It seems that the warning from Ding Hui was not wrong. This boss is really right. So easy to get along with.

"The villain understands, and must do his best to complete the task!"

Jiang Zian didn't leave Xiu Nian any room for maneuver when he talked about this, so now he can only bite the bullet and agree.
