Chapter 1209 Grassroots Officials

Haihan's cadre training system can be said to be a shortcoming hidden in the country's rapid development. Although the executive committee has been aware of the hidden dangers this problem will bring from the beginning of time travel, and has also made measures for this

Many efforts have been made, including setting up own courses to obtain scholars, appointing officials who served in the Ming Dynasty, and each department setting up its own cadre training courses, etc. However, after all, the time to establish itself is too short, and the number of qualified cadres is still far behind the expansion speed of Shanghai and Han Dynasty.

.

Because of this, some colonies in the South China Sea can only be controlled by the military for a period of time after their establishment, and it is difficult to organize sustained and effective colonial construction. This situation has not been greatly improved so far, so this time the south China

Among the cadres, there will be people like Han Zhengshan and Lu Yi who are recruited almost on a temporary basis. If measured strictly according to the employment standards, new immigrants like them are not even qualified to be appointed cadres, but now

At the time of hiring, even though they lacked personal qualifications, they were still hired by the relevant departments under exceptional circumstances.

Although Tan Juren also has doubts about the ability of this group of men, he has no room to change the candidates at the moment. Even if he can change, the other people he replaces may not be any better than the existing candidates. So what he can do

It is to improve the strength of these subordinates as much as possible, so that they can better implement their governance intentions and achieve some decent results after arriving in the colony.

The content of Tan Juren's lectures was mainly about the colonial power structure and departmental division of labor and cooperation mechanisms. For cadres who had just officially entered the bureaucracy, it was difficult to understand them immediately. On the contrary, people like Han Zhengshan who had been in the government office before

As a "veteran civil servant" for many years, I will gain a lot after listening to Tan Juren's explanation.

According to Han Zhengshan's understanding, Haihan's division of labor in power was more detailed and thoughtful than that of the Ming Dynasty government, and there were ready-made models that could be applied. Everyone knew their responsibilities clearly. This way of division of labor and cooperation

It will be more efficient than the Ming government. However, Han Zhengshan believes that this is also related to Haihan's amazing financial resources. For example, the place where his boss Tan Juren will take office is said to have a population less than that of a county in the Ming Dynasty, and this place is in charge of cadres

There were more than a dozen people. Han Zhengshan couldn't imagine that a county government had so many people in charge who shared power with the county magistrate.

According to the bureaucratic system of the Ming Dynasty, under the county magistrate, there is a county magistrate and a chief registrar, who are responsible for grain and horses, patrols, tax collection, household registration and other matters.

The functions are managed by Dian Shi. Next are the three squads of Yamen and Minzhuang, which add up to a hundred or so people. But Haihan’s grassroots bureaucracy is much larger. According to Tan Juren, these batches of people who have received training

The cadres are all grassroots officials, and then there are the miscellaneous personnel like the third class of government officials. There are more than a dozen officials, and the overall staffing is naturally many more than the county government establishment in the Ming Dynasty.

In addition, the salary for working in the Haihan government agencies is not low. The funds required to maintain such a large organization are naturally far greater than those of the county-level government agencies of the Ming Dynasty. Taking into account the expenditure, such a model will not work well in the Ming Dynasty.

It's obviously not feasible. But the benefits of having more people are also obvious. The responsibilities and powers of grassroots officials at Han Zhengshan's level are clearer, and their leader Tan Juren can focus more on the planning and implementation of the colony.

In the process of directing work, instead of being too busy dealing with large and small civil affairs.

From Han Zhengshan's perspective, it is actually impossible to tell whether Haihan's approach of exchanging large investments for high efficiency is better than that of the Ming Dynasty government. However, Haihan was able to achieve success within just a few years after arriving at the border of the Ming Dynasty. The founding of the country and its continuous expansion outwards show that the role of this operating model is still quite significant. The problem that the Haihan bureaucracy can leave the outside world to question is that almost all the citizens came from other countries, mainly the Ming Dynasty, to serve in Haihan. How high the loyalty of these citizens under the rule of the Han Dynasty may be a weakness of the Han Dynasty.

Of course, judging from what Han Zhengshan saw after arriving in Haihan, the people of Haihan were in awe of their ruler. Many people regarded the "chief" as a god descending to earth, and there was no disloyalty at all. Even if he Some people miss their hometown, but they don’t complain too much about the current living conditions. After all, it is hard to find an environment like Haihan where there is almost no risk of war in the areas under its rule. Especially the Ming Dynasty, which is facing internal and external troubles. Except for the coastal areas of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Fuguang, which are relatively peaceful, the inland and northern areas have been plunged into successive wars. The rapid growth of the immigrant population in Haihan in recent years is partly due to the wars in the Ming Dynasty.

When Tan Juren talked about this aspect, he also showed a sense of superiority without hesitation: "Why did civil strife occur in so many places in the Ming Dynasty? Some people may say it is a natural disaster or a man-made disaster, but these are only superficial phenomena. They really play a role. The decisive reason is that too many people have no food to eat, and the government is unable to solve their survival problems. This situation will not occur in our country. We have a grain harvest that far exceeds the needs of the people to survive, and we have a strong With the protection of the armed forces, grassroots cadres like you supporting the operation of various departments and agencies, and the wise executive committee pointing the way forward for us, this country cannot be in chaos!"

If they had never been to Haihan and witnessed the situation here with their own eyes, then most of the people here would not believe Tan Juren’s boast. However, after hearing these words now, everyone including Han Zhengshan felt that this was completely unreasonable. An exaggerated truth. The prosperity and stability in Haihan is a situation that each of them can personally feel, and it is also the biggest reason why the people of Haihan are willing to submit to the rule of the Executive Committee.

But apart from these inspiring political propaganda, Han Zhengshan had a hard time listening to Tan Juren's professional knowledge. This is because he was born in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and he was not familiar with Tan Juren's Haihan Mandarin with a strong Cantonese accent. It was so easy to understand, but secondly, what Tan Juren said contained too many words and concepts that he didn't understand. Tan Juren said ten sentences, and Han Zhengshan could only understand six or seven sentences half-guessing.

Han Zhengshan turned to look at Lu Yi, who was sitting next to him, and saw that he also had a confused look on his face. He thought that Lu Yi was from Songjiang Prefecture, and his situation must be similar to his. However, he was a doctor. In addition to treating diseases and saving people, he also You only need to go to the local area to teach a few apprentices and even if you complete the task, you don't need to have such a thorough grasp of the theoretical knowledge of administrative management taught by Tan Juren.

Among the other people attending the class, there were two or three people who had been holding pens to record what Tan Juren said. Han Zhengshan noticed that what they were holding was not an ordinary brush, but a metal-tipped pen, and they all had pens in front of them. A small bottle of ink. After writing for a while, you have to dip the pen into the ink. The usage is the same as that of a writing brush. When Tan Juren was at the police station, he also saw Huang Tongyang using this kind of pen. It is said that the tip of the pen is made of fine steel, and the Haihan people call it a "fountain pen." The writing strokes are extremely fine, and a piece of paper can write much more than a brush.

Those who can skillfully use this kind of pen to write are obviously not immigrants who have just arrived in Haihan. Han Zhengshan knows that these colleagues must have been naturalized in Haihan for a long time. Han Zhengshan immediately

I decided that after Tan Juren finished speaking, I would go to these friends to get close to each other - not for the writing tools they used, but to borrow the notes they took to read, so as not to miss the important content of the speech.

This group of cadres who will follow Tan Juren to the south include new immigrants such as Han Zhengshan and Lu Yi, as well as several old naturalized citizens who have been working in the agency for a long time. Although it is not possible to use all experienced cadres, the executive

The committee still hopes to arrange a lineup with the old leading the new, so that the working group going south can get started quickly after starting work locally, so that all departments will not be unable to operate well due to lack of experience. As for relatively incompetent people like the Sheriff

Such a stable position, with Tan Juren and the local military attache keeping an eye on it, it is unlikely that anything big will go wrong.

In the courses that followed in the next few days, the "heads" of each department personally came to the podium to teach. Although these students already had cadre titles, they did not dare to show any slackness in front of the "heads", regardless of whether they listened or not.

You have to work up your energy and persevere to understand. Han Zhengshan has deepened his understanding of the Haihan bureaucracy and various departments through these courses. The topics he chats with Lu Yi and others every day are also related to the discussion.

.Han Zhengshan laughed at himself. If he had such enthusiasm for learning when he was a child, he would have been admitted to the imperial examination. Now he would be a scholar or even a scholar.

Of course, these things learned in the training class have nothing to do with the subset of classics and history that were tested in the Ming Dynasty imperial examination. Instead, they allowed these rookie cadres to master as much as possible in a short period of time how to manage the people and maintain the operation of the institution.

These theories are not profound; all they lack is practical experience.

Starting from the third day of training, all trainees, led by the chief officer, went to the immigration camp to select and register candidates for the south. The immigration quota assigned to Tan Juren was 800 people, including more than 170 people.

For the naturalized citizens who have been confirmed, the remaining places will be selected from the immigration camps.

In accordance with the consistent practice of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, voluntary registration has been opened a few days ago. In addition to immigration subsidies, land, houses and many other preferential treatments, the benefits that immigrants will receive are that they will be shortened to one hundred days.

Naturalization inspection period. As long as you make no obvious mistakes within 100 days of arriving in the local area, you can automatically obtain Haihan nationality and enjoy national treatment. This is better for new immigrants than staying in the local area where the competition for naturalization is limited.

It's much easier to get a spot.

Of course, the new immigrants do not know the specific place where they will be assigned, otherwise many of them may be discouraged. After all, not everyone is willing to accept going overseas thousands of miles south of Sanya.

prospect.

Of course, Han Zhengshan already knew the destination he was going to through these days of teaching, but in fact, the difference between knowing and not knowing was not very big, because he simply could not imagine what the local environment would be like. But

One thing is certain, that is, no matter how far away the assigned place is, it is still the land under the rule of Haihan, and all the rules and social systems are not much different from those in Sanya. The most important thing is the local area

With Haihan troops stationed there, there is no need to worry too much about safety issues.

New immigrants who have a limited understanding of Haihan are more concerned about whether the difference in treatment between going there and staying in Sanya is cost-effective. However, even if they do not participate in migrating south, the final allocation may not allow them to stay in Sanya, and most of them will still be sent

If you go to other places, you may not be able to get such favorable treatment as voluntarily signing up to go south. When the new immigrants realized this, the number of people who signed up was still quite large, which greatly exceeded the official's initial expectations.

In this way, the task of Tan Juren and others is much easier. They only need to select qualified people from the applicants, instead of forcibly removing a group of people from the immigration camp and escorting them to the southern colonies by force.

Han Zhengshan is also one of the interviewers who select immigrants, but because of the large number of immigrants, this kind of interview is actually just a formality to let the newly appointed cadres get familiar with the work process, and there is no time to review them one by one.

As long as the limbs are sound, there are no obvious physical disabilities or diseases, and the intelligence is normal and they can understand commands, they can basically pass the test. However, Han Zhengshan still paid attention to some of them, because after arriving at the local area, he had to wait for a short period of time.

A public security agency has been established internally, and it may be difficult for him and the seven or eight rookie police officers who will be assigned there to effectively manage the local security situation, so the establishment must be expanded, and the recruitment targets must be among these new police officers.

Immigrating.

The registration and selection of immigrants continued until the end of the training period. In the next few days, various supplies began to be gradually loaded at Sanya Port and Shengli Port. During this period, Han Zhengshan and others had to let the upcoming

This group of immigrants who went south understood the distribution of their responsibilities, knew who they should listen to and who they should be responsible to in the coming period. In other words, they converted the training content they had received in the past few days, changed their identities, and then responded to these new immigrants.

Propaganda is given to immigrants. On the one hand, this is to strengthen their understanding of their own work, and on the other hand, it is to let these immigrants understand the social division of labor after arriving in the local area, so that they will not misunderstand or be resistant to the cadres' commands.

Three days later, everything was ready, and the southbound immigration fleet was about to set off.
