1627 Rise of the South China Sea

Chapter 2440
The demand for local labor in Fushan County is huge, and the labor force is sufficient. However, due to too many uncontrollable factors, Chen Yixin did not dare to fully use these refugee labor force. He could only select some honest and obedient people with their families as labor force. .In this way, the efficiency of using refugees is naturally not much higher.

Of course, Chen Yixin also thought of a lot of ways to solve the contradictions, such as resettling those who performed well, and promoting some of them to serve as foremen among the refugees, so as to improve labor efficiency.However, these measures still seem to be a drop in the bucket for the resettlement of refugees who have recently poured into Fushan County in large numbers.

Of course, there is no real way to resolve this dilemma, and that is to solve the problem of the transportation capacity of refugees.As long as the refugees in Fukuyama County can be sent away quickly enough, there will be no problem of insufficient accommodation capacity in the local area.And after these refugees go to the new colony under the rule of Haihan, the completely unfamiliar environment and the pressure of survival will make them more dependent on the Haihan government, and it will be much easier to control and command these people than now.

Of course Chen Yixin understands this truth, but he is only a general guarding the local area and has no right to coordinate the transportation capacity of other areas to solve local problems. means to provide more stable transportation capacity to Fushan County.And the arrival of Tao Donglai can just play such a role.

"Let's go, let's go to the next place." After Tao Donglai confirmed the situation of this refugee camp, he didn't plan to stay here any longer, so he asked to go to the next place.

Tao Donglai has already seen very clearly that the conditions of this kind of camp can only meet the basic needs of survival. Even with such simple facilities, the construction speed cannot keep up with the increase of refugees. It is indeed necessary to provide more sea transportation capacity to solve the problem of Fushan. refugee accommodation in counties.But at the moment he was not in a hurry to express his opinion to Chen Yixin, because he didn't know much about the local situation, so he had to turn around and take a look.

The second refugee camp that Chen Yixin took Tao Donglai to visit is very close to Majiazhuang, and this refugee camp has been built and put into use a few years ago. After several renovations, the living conditions are even worse than before. It's much better to see the camp that was purely rushed.

The residence here is no longer a simple hut, but a typical northern rural house with a thatched roof and mud walls. The effect of cold and heat preservation is much better than that of the hut.Tao Donglai followed Chen Yixin into a room. Although the interior was poorly furnished, at least everyone had a two-foot-wide bed for sleeping, and even bedding. Much stronger at straw.

However, due to the large number of refugees recently, the living density here is not much better than that of the shack refugee camp. A room that originally accommodated ten people now has to be packed with twice as many people, which will inevitably still look overcrowded.

"Are there any special conditions for the refugees living here?" Tao Donglai asked Chen Yixin while visiting.

Chen Yixin replied: "That's not true. Now the first batch is sent away and the next batch is moved. It is pure luck to be assigned to which refugee camp."

Tao Donglai continued to ask: "Then if there are rich people entering Fushan County at this time, they don't want to live in refugee camps, but want to enjoy better treatment, how do you deal with it?"

"It's very simple, first pay 500 taels of silver as a deposit, and then a civil affairs officer in charge of this matter will discuss with them the specific cost and resettlement measures." Chen Yixin explained: "The garrison troops are currently stationed in various places inside and outside Fushan County. So we still have a large area of ​​vacant barracks on Zhifu Island, which can be used to accommodate some people with limited financial resources but do not want to become refugees. These people have family property, know the rules, and cherish their lives. Generally speaking, it will be easier to manage .”

"Then what if you are still not satisfied with living in the barracks?" Tao Donglai broke the casserole and asked.

Chen Yixin smiled and said: "If you are not satisfied, you can add more money. As long as you can afford the price, I can even arrange for him to take a boat to Jiangsu and Zhejiang for refuge. When you get there, you can get what you want, so you don't have to complain about the poor conditions."

Tao Donglai also smiled and said: "This is also a way...Take a boat to Jiangsu and Zhejiang to escape for a while, it may be more economical than spending here."

"There are indeed people who do this, but the number is not many. Generally, they choose this road if they have relatives and acquaintances in the south who can turn to them. And it's not enough to have this plan, and we have to have money to pay before we can arrange it." Chen Yixin's His tone was calm as usual, obviously he had already dealt with many such situations.

People with real family and business will not rush to leave Shandong at this moment. After all, their roots are all here, and it is absolutely impossible to leave Shandong just now.If the situation really deteriorates, even the Haihan people can't continue to guarantee the safety of this area, and it's not too late to leave.Anyway, as long as he can afford the money, Haihan will definitely have a way to arrange for them to evacuate here.

Tao Donglai would not think that Chen Yixin's handling was too philistine. After all, Fushan County would have to spend a lot of money to receive such a large number of refugees, and it was reasonable to find ways to generate some revenue.Although the immigration action has been financially supported by the state treasury, if this process is completely unprofitable, I am afraid that the enthusiasm of various relevant agencies will be much less.Chen Yixin deliberately left some openings to let the rich bleed to get special treatment, which can be regarded as an expedient measure to solve the needs of both parties at the same time.

The outside of this refugee camp has a complete wooden fence to separate the world inside. Although it is not impossible to climb over the wall, Haihan’s punishment for those who escaped from the refugee camp is extremely severe, which is not normal. Some people dare to make mistakes.Having said that, no matter how poor the conditions in this refugee camp are, there is food and shelter after all, and there is no need to worry about safety issues, but if you leave here, you have to solve the problem of survival by yourself.

After viewing these two refugee camps, Tao Donglai also has a preliminary understanding of the local refugee resettlement situation.Given the conditions of Fushan County, it is extremely difficult to afford so many refugees to temporarily live and transfer locally, and it is difficult to provide a better resettlement environment.Whether it is material supply, personnel control, or transshipment arrangements, Chen Yixin is indeed facing many difficulties, and being able to maintain the current fairly stable situation is also a comprehensive manifestation of his management and coordination ability.

When they came out of the refugee camp, Ma Dongqiang was already waiting outside. When he saw his son-in-law walking slowly with a middle-aged man, and there were many tall and burly guards around him, he knew that this should be what the son-in-law said It's a big shot, so hurry up and take the initiative to see him.

"Grassman Ma Dongqiang, I have met Mr. Tao!" Ma Dongqiang had received Chen Yixin's advice beforehand, but he didn't make too much noise. He only saluted when he got close.

If it was an ordinary landlord, Tao Donglai probably nodded and passed. However, this person in front of him is Chen Yixin's father-in-law, and he has contributed a lot to Haihan's rule in Fushan County. Naturally, he must pay enough attention to it. Helping each other, he said in his mouth: "The horsemen are polite, they are all our own people, so you don't need to see outsiders!"

After the two of them said a few words of politeness, Ma Dongqiang led the way and led Tao Donglai to sit at home.Regarding Tao Donglai's identity, Ma Dongqiang only knew a rough idea, because he didn't quite understand the functions of the Haihan Executive Committee and Tao Donglai's prestige among the Haihan executives.However, there is no doubt that this Lord Tao has a higher status than his son-in-law. Although the son-in-law has the power of life and death in Dengzhou and Jinzhou, he still has to obey this Lord Tao.Such a big man suddenly came to Fushan County, so naturally he had to do his best to serve him well.

However, the son-in-law has specifically instructed that Master Tao's itinerary should be kept secret and not to be too public in public, so Ma Dongqiang didn't dare to prepare the welcome ceremony in Majiazhuang with great fanfare, and he didn't even bring his family to welcome him together, so as not to make mistakes. Overcome the taboo of nobles.But judging from Tao Donglai's reaction, Ma Dongqiang felt that this lord was quite approachable, and he didn't speak condescendingly, so he was not so nervous at the moment.

After the prosperity of Majia, Majiazhuang underwent many reconstructions and expansions. Now it is Zhuangzi in name, but in fact it is already a large-scale town, which is usually quite prosperous.However, due to the turmoil in Shandong in recent months, a large number of refugees have poured into Dengzhou. The entire Fushan County is under strict military control, and there are no people coming and going in the market.

Tao Donglai walked and watched, and said to Ma Dongqiang: "It seems that the local shops have been greatly affected by the war. Eight out of ten shops have closed down."

Ma Dongqiang responded: "That's true. The trade route between this county and Jinan Prefecture has been completely cut off due to the war. Now that a large number of refugees are pouring into Dengzhou, it is inevitable that some wicked people will take advantage of the chaos to make trouble. There are many murders and looting outside Fushan County. A few, ordinary merchants are worried about the risks, and they dare not go here with money and goods by themselves, so the local market is also greatly affected, and some merchants simply closed their shops for a while. So they turned the storefront into an inn, providing temporary accommodation for those who don’t want to enter the refugee camp, and the income is not much worse than doing business.”

Tao Donglai said: "I heard that Ma Yuanwai owns a lot of real estate in the local area, and has recently taken in a lot of foreigners, so he must have taken this opportunity to make a lot of money?"

Ma Dongqiang's complexion changed slightly, but when he peeked at Chen Yixin, he saw that his expression was as usual, and then he calmed down a little, knowing that he was not looking for trouble for himself, so he quickly responded: "Back to Master Tao, the grass people took out their own real estate to resettle the refugees, just The idea of ​​taking in more people who came to Fushan County for asylum is not for money. The fee charged to them is just to offset the expenses, and it is not bullying the market, buying and selling by force."

Ma Dongqiang's explanation was naturally mostly a cover-up, but Chen Yixin knew that Tao Donglai would not go on the line about such a trivial matter, so he didn't intend to help his father-in-law.Sure enough, Tao Donglai just smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, I just ask casually, there is no other meaning."

The information that Tao Donglai knew was previously provided by Hao Wanqing, so if he asked about this matter face to face, it also depends on whether Ma Dongqiang will tell the truth, so as to use it as a reference for judging whether it is reliable.If Ma Dongqiang categorically denies it, the impression will naturally be greatly reduced.However, Ma Dongqiang judged the situation very accurately at the moment, he just explained to Tao Donglai that his behavior had no bad intentions, and he didn't deny such an approach, so he barely passed the test.

After entering the Ma's house, Ma Dongqiang summoned his family members to greet Tao Donglai, and Chen Yixin's wife and children were among them.Tao Donglai also came prepared, took out a small silk bag from his body, handed it to Chen Yixin and said, "This is a gift for the child, let's see if the child likes it."

Chen Yixin took it and opened the pocket and poured it into his hand. It turned out that it contained a golden longevity lock necklace, which was small in size but full of weight.Chen Yixin hurriedly called his wife and children, and thanked Tao Donglai for the gift together.

Tao Donglai said: "Actually, I only remembered it when I was about to leave, but it was too late to order in Sanya, so I entrusted Shi Diwen to find a craftsman in Ningbo to make it, and took it away when I passed by Zhoushan."

Chen Yixin hurriedly said, "Boss Tao has a heart!"

Tao Donglai continued: "The child will have to consider going to school in two years, right? If you plan to send him back to Sanya to study, then you can directly contact Ning Qi, and I will say hello to him later and ask him to deal with the matter. It's all arranged."

Most of the traversers are still in their prime, but considering the long-term development, the issue of education for the next generation has also been included in the agenda of many people.After all, most of the fruits of their hard work in this world will be handed over to their children to inherit. If they cannot inherit the mantle of the traverser due to insufficient education, it will undoubtedly be a great loss.Therefore, when the children of time-travelers grow up to school age, most time-travelers will try to enroll them in Sanya, and study in private schools specially set up for children of time-travelers.

The content taught in this kind of school is naturally very different from that of the academies and vocational colleges outside. These "second-generation wearers" not only have to receive general education and learn the basic knowledge of various subjects, but they will also gradually come into contact with relevant information about their parents. The secrets of the country, as well as the mechanisms that keep the country running, lay the groundwork for future excesses of power.

This knowledge is unlikely to be taught by a certain traveler alone, so it can only be taught in the exclusive school in Sanya.If generals stationed abroad like Chen Yixin do not send their children back to Sanya but educate themselves, then the possibility of losing touch with Haihan society after they grow up will be very high. In the long run, their personal and family development will be affected accordingly. However, under a lot of influence, compared with other “second-generation wearers” who have the same status but have received special education, there will be a huge gap in childhood.

Of course, this system also has a special effect. Haihan’s civil and military officials send their children back to Sanya to study. In fact, from a certain point of view, it is equivalent to sending protons to the capital, which can greatly reduce the possibility of splitting in overseas territories. sex.
