1627 Rise of the South China Sea

Chapter 461 Changhua's Policy towards Lebanon

Of course, what Huang Que knew was not everything. Although Haihan gave the Li people in Fushandong excellent treatment, it did not mean that all Li people were treated equally.The main criterion for considering this question is to see whether they are willing to accept the arrangement of the Haihan executive committee and actively strive for the opportunity to integrate into the Haihan social system.Fushandong is the first Li people's cottage to cooperate with the executive committee, so they receive almost the best treatment, the purpose is to make it a benchmark in the region, so that those Li people who are hesitant Miao Shanzhai made up his mind early.

But the latecomers may not all follow the standards of Fushandong. For example, an exclusive residential area is specially designated for Fushandong, and for half a year after moving out of the mountainous area, Fushandong people have been given almost Free living guarantees, such treatment almost never appeared again in the subsequent relocation of Li Miao village.Most of the mountain people who moved out later could only enter the residential area designated by Haihan and live together with naturalized people of other ethnicities. As for the living security, it must be obtained by these mountain people through labor.

After the people of the Li and Miao ethnic groups moved out of the mountainous area, the fastest way to earn income was to sign up for the militia. As long as they passed the medical examination, they would be given a settling allowance at the same time as joining the army, which was enough for a family of five to live in Sanya for two months. .Moreover, as long as one member of the family joins the army, the whole family can obtain naturalization, which is much easier than slowly gaining qualifications and other quotas in other jobs.Therefore, in the past two years, among the Limiaoshan people who have surrendered to the Executive Committee, the proportion of young and strong men joining the army is extremely high, often more than [-]%, and they are a force that cannot be ignored in the Haihan militia.

Those who are unwilling to eat military food and want to earn a quick income can also apply for many jobs that do not require skills in the Haihan Industrial Zone.Of course, these positions are often dangerous or harmful to the body, such as metallurgical workshops and chemical workshops. There are many positions with a very high elimination rate waiting for these newcomers who know nothing about the future.

Of course, in addition to these risky positions, there are actually many low-risk but relatively low-paying jobs to choose from.For example, if you are engaged in logging, transportation and other positions that require a lot of strong labor, you can get job opportunities even if you do not have the domicile of naturalized people.However, in these low-tech jobs, the number of naturalized people assigned to the unit every month is often very limited, and it will take longer to obtain the native place of naturalized people.

Huang Que will not have this trouble, because his identity background is quite special, as long as he is willing to apply for naturalization, the Ministry of Civil Affairs will probably complete the relevant procedures for him and issue identification documents as soon as he receives the application give him.But for the vast majority of people who have just come out of the mountains, obtaining Haihan naturalization is the first step on their new journey in life. There will be too many changes from before, and it will always be at the bottom of this social system.

Apart from these Li and Miao villages who are willing to cooperate with Hai Han, it is not that there have been arrogant kings of the mountain who did not take Hai Han into their eyes.It's fine if this kind of object doesn't have a conflict of interest with Haihan. Once it gets involved, and refuses to obey the arrangement of the executive committee, it will soon become the target of violent suppression.From the second half of 1627 to the end of 1628 alone, there were as many as seven Li Miao villages in the southern mountainous area of ​​Hainan Island that were wiped out by the Haihan militia for various reasons. Others in Dazhai received equal treatment, refused to follow Haihan's rules of the game during the negotiation process, and some even declared that they would take a hostile attitude towards Haihan.

As the saying goes, if you don’t work, you won’t die. Subjectively, although the Executive Committee hopes to make full use of the human resources of these cottages, they will not retreat when encountering difficult targets. The muskets of the Haihan Militia will soon appear in these cottages Outside, they actually taught them the principles of life.The hook knives and bamboo arrows in the hands of the mountain people could not pose a substantial threat to the militia armed with live ammunition, and the charge launched with bloody courage was nothing more than dozens of cheap lead bullets.The militia's several armed operations killed a total of more than one hundred recalcitrants, and the rest of the adults were all sent to hard labor camps as prisoners of war.Taking into account the feelings of the local Li and Miao ethnic groups who have surrendered to Haihan, except for some ignorant children who were left behind and sent to the Junior Military Academy, all other captives were shipped to Heitu Port, where they will work in coal mines for several years Only then will they be released - if they are still alive then.

Not to mention the orioles, they don't even know much about their powers. The militia also tried their best to avoid involving soldiers from the Li and Miao tribes in their operations. The outside world doesn't know what happened to these cottages that disappeared silently. situation.Shizidong, where Huangque is located, is undoubtedly lucky, because someone with experience like Fu Li has participated in the negotiations between the two sides from the very beginning, and helped Shizidong see the difference in strength between the two sides faster, otherwise Huang Sanmu would lose his head If you want to have non-cooperation or even hostility with Hai Han, then the ones who come to Shizidong will probably not be the various supplies that Hai Han promised, but the militia troops who were ordered to come and destroy them.

Of course, after Huangque went to Sanya to see Haihan's true strength, it was impossible for Shi Zidong to make such an unwise choice. After all, the powerful military and economic strength of the Haihan people was determined by the Ming government on this island. Far less than that, any leader with a right mind would not lead his people to fight against such a force that has taken the initiative to show favor to him. It is a normal reaction to hug this thigh tightly.

For Huang Que, he is not as keen on entering violent organizations as Fu Li is. Compared with joining the army or the police, which have lower thresholds, Huang Que hopes to understand why Haihan is so powerful.He learned from the local Guihua people in Sanya that this group of Haihan people came here from overseas only two or three years ago, but the situation they created was beyond the reach of the Yuan and Ming dynasties.Huang Que believes that if she can understand the mystery, she will be able to support her relatives and friends to obtain better living conditions.

The most effective way to learn about Haihan's various information is to enter a school run by Haihan people, but enrolling in such a school often requires a naturalized citizen status issued by the Haihan Ministry of Civil Affairs, and this is precisely the The oriole does not have the conditions now.So when Qiao Zhiya said that he could help him with the admissions issue, Huang Que was particularly excited.

"Speaking of business, after Master Huang expressed his attitude, how is the situation in the cave?" Qiao Zhiya didn't want to drag the topic too far. After all, recommending the oriole to enroll may only need to say hello, but recruiting labor from Shizidong is not easy. It involves the coordination of several departments. As the interim chief executive of the local area, he must personally intervene in this matter.

"The owner of the cave has spoken, so everyone must obey." The oriole took another big mouthful of coconut juice, and then continued: "But the owner of the cave has said that our people can come out to work, and the wages cannot be lower than others."

"Of course, equal pay for equal work is not a problem." Qiao Zhiya nodded immediately.

Although a considerable number of Li people in Shizidong have not obtained naturalization, this does not prevent Qiao Zhiya from saying equal pay for equal work, because these Li people do not have any professional skills. What they can do on the construction site It is also the most clumsy pure manual labor, commonly known as moving bricks.And this kind of work is usually done by free labor in the hard labor camp, and there is no pay at all. The Lebanese laborers who join in only need to be paid a small amount of pay, so that they are not allowed to work for nothing.As for the technical positions with slightly higher income on the construction site, they are basically handed over to trained naturalized migrant workers, and these Li people can't do it even if they want to.

Huang Que continued: "If Brother Qiao finds it convenient, can you tell me how much you can get paid?"

"Two meals a day, work every day, a circulation coupon of [-] yuan a month. If you get injured or sick on duty during the period, we will be responsible for the treatment." Regarding the issue of employment benefits, Qiao Zhiya had already had an answer, and he answered it immediately.

Huang Que has lived in Sanya for a while, so she naturally knows the conversion ratio between currency and silver.Two taels of silver per month is not a small amount for Li people like them, let alone two meals a day.As for living, there is no problem. The current construction site is not far from the new residence of the Li people, and walking to and from work every day is enough.And being able to treat injuries for free is already an additional fringe benefit in Huang Que's view.

For the conditions offered by Qiao Zhiya, Huang Que had nothing to criticize—in fact, before he came here, Huang Sanmu only proposed the condition that each person's monthly salary should not be less than one tael of silver.This is because in the previous recruitment, the military promised three yuan a month to the young Li people who came to apply for the army. After completing three months of military training and becoming an official militia, it will be improved on this basis. Huang Sanmu After referring to this standard, I dared to call out the price of one tael of silver.But what he didn't expect was that Haihan was not stingy with the little money, and offered twice the price without waiting for the yellow bird to ask for conditions.

"Brother Qiao, that's the deal. I'll let the people in the village come to work as soon as possible later. As long as they have all the hands and feet, anyone who can carry them can come, right?" Huang Que asked.

"Anyone who is able to work can come, and women are fine. Our logistics department still needs a lot of people who can help with laundry and cooking." Qiao Zhiya wished that all able-bodied people in Shizidong could be brought to work on the construction site, so that The progress of the project was accelerated and accelerated.

Although the appointment of the Executive Committee has not yet been announced, Qiao Zhiya has already known through the channels of Yan Chujie and others that the Executive Committee will appoint him as the chief executive of Changhua in the near future, and he was originally the highest official of the local armed forces. Commander, after the relevant appointment, he will become the first local governor in a foreign agency with both civil and military powers in one person. This is definitely a very rare treatment.Of course, this appointment method that does not conform to the executive committee's ruling ideas is just an expedient measure made because of the shortage of human resources in Changhua and the limited range of options. It will probably not be too long before other people will be sent to divide up some of them. Administrative power, but for Qiao Zhiya, this period will be an excellent opportunity, and he must take advantage of this opportunity to make as many achievements as possible to be worthy of his luck.

The most notable achievement is to speed up the progress of the road construction project. Under the condition that the labor intensity cannot be squeezed too much, the only feasible solution is to find a way to increase the number of laborers.The people relocated from Shizidong, after excluding the young and strong enlisted in the army, can still be used as a labor force of less than a thousand people. For a huge project, the construction speed that this labor force can drive is still very limited.However, Qiao Zhiya's idea is to use Shizidong's operation example to attract young people from other Li Miao villages in the inland to join him as soon as possible.

This is not Qiao Zhiya's delusion. After Fushandong moved out to Shengli Port, it also brought a group of Li and Miao villages to join Haihan in a short period of time, and most of them were absorbed into Haihan. The effectiveness of various institutions in the Han Dynasty, the effect of assimilation can be described as quite good.During this process, the relevant departments of Haihan gradually worked out a set of effective management methods, trying to make these mountain people who lack the concept of law-abiding adapt to the various rules and regulations under Haihan's rule in a short period of time.

Qiao Zhiya was assigned to the chemical industry department at the beginning, and spent a long time alone in the fields. He also spent a lot of time dealing with the Li and Miao tribes. He witnessed how the relevant departments gradually absorbed these originally wary mountain people into Haihan's workforce. in the system.What he is doing now is basically copying Haihan's various successful experiences in Victory Port, adding a little bit of his own play, and he has already received excellent results.

The oriole rested in the arbor for a while, and when the sun got a little bit lower, it said goodbye and went back to the Li people's camp.Huang Que's efficiency did not disappoint Qiao Zhiya. The next morning, led by Huang Que, more than 200 Li people came to the construction site and began to be hired by Haihan to do some simple labor.

Qiao Zhiya didn't let the oriole sit idle either. He had to make statistics and record the identities of these Li people's laborers, so that they could match the numbers one by one in the final calculation of wages.Although Huang Que was not interested in this, when he heard Qiao Zhiya say that these management methods were also one of the reasons for Haihan's rise, he happily took a pen and paper to register the Li laborers one by one.Although this errand is a bit boring, since he can learn what he wants to know, the oriole is still happy to complete it.
