Chapter 1269 Propaganda System

After the two completed the procedures, they returned to the office of the management committee. Chang Degao asked Liu Shang to sit and wait for a while, took his relevant procedure information to the personnel office for filing and registration, and then brought back a stack of forms for Liu Shang to

Fill in the information one by one. In fact, these information are similar to those previously filled in the household registration department. They are also mainly personal information, but the professional content is much more detailed, such as the applicant's past professional background, skills and fields in which he is good at,

Any personal works or deeds, or even personal understanding of "propaganda work" must be recorded in writing.

Even though Liu Shang was cautious, he couldn't help but feel a little dizzy when faced with so much information that needed to be filled in. He didn't completely know who the personal information was going to be sent to and where it was archived, but one thing he could be sure of was that Haihan was safe.

The Ministry will definitely have someone to review outsiders like him who are directly recruited to serve in the Yamen. If he makes any mistakes when filling out these information, he may be caught by the professionals, and he has to brace himself.

Handle with caution.

Before coming to Sanya, he had heard that Haihan's management of the people was very meticulous. Liu Shang had not experienced it personally before. Now that he had to go through the naturalization procedures as a Haihan, he realized that the rumors were true. Just the level of detail in the registration information.

, it is far from comparable to the household registration management of the Ming Dynasty government. Liu Shang's understanding of this field is far better than ordinary people. He knows very well that this kind of strengthened management is not just about registering a few more information on paper.

This will also add considerable workload to the relevant departments. Reviewing, filing, organizing, storing, and a series of subsequent steps must be handled by specialized personnel, and the increased manpower and expenses will also be

Can't be ignored.

Liu Shang believed that Haihan's methods were not superficial, but actually based on these registration information to strictly screen and monitor the people under his rule, especially those who worked in the government. And he could roughly predict

This is by no means the final test. It is unlikely that I will officially join the job immediately after completing the formalities. There will definitely be an inspection period lasting several days.

Sure enough, after Liu Shang filled out these registration forms, Chang Degao said: "Although you used to make a living as a storyteller and have some practical experience in how to publicize among the people, the storytellers we want to use are not storytellers who work for money.

Sir, they are professionals who can promote patriotism. So before you join the job, there will be a training period of ten to fifteen days, depending on your performance in the training. During this period, there will be lecturers to teach you the future

The required professional knowledge is very important for your work after joining the company, so you must study hard!"

Although Liu Shang didn't know what the so-called training content was, he saw that Chang Degao was very cautious in what he said, so he quickly agreed. Anyway, this industry requires some time to study, and there are professionals to teach it, then

It would save a lot of energy and time. He also wanted to know more about what powerful methods Haihan had in the field of propaganda, and how he was able to discipline hundreds of thousands of immigrants to be loyal to him.

As for how the country of Haihan emerged on the coast of the South China Sea in just a few years, the outside world has always had divergent opinions. Generally speaking, a relatively unified view is that it is because Haihan has a powerful force that is difficult to match and has extremely strong economic strength.

Supporting the army's southern and northern wars, it achieves the continuous expansion of territory and population through military means. Haihan's military and economic advantages are of course the most easily observed by the outside world, but as the understanding of Haihan continues to increase,

Going deeper, many new perspectives have been put forward, such as how Haihan managed to annex hundreds of thousands of people in a short period of time, and is still introducing a large number of immigrants to this day, but there has been no major chaos due to integration issues. It only cited military and

There is no clear explanation for this from an economic point of view.

Could it be that the executive committee-style government is more advanced? Of course no one would dare to express such a rebellious view. However, there are many ways to express opinions in a roundabout way. More and more professionals who study the Haihan issue believe that,

What has been most seriously ignored in the past is actually the governance methods of the Haihan Executive Committee, which also includes Haihan’s policy measures in the field of propaganda.

The government of the Ming Dynasty did not have many working methods in this field. Various notices posted outside the Yamen and at the city gate were probably the most important means. In addition, the supervision of public opinion and publications was also extremely rough, and most of the time it was about stipulating what things should be done.

"Can't do it, can't say it" rather than active propaganda and guidance. Compared with Haihan in this regard, the government's governance methods can almost only be described as "primitive".

According to Liu Shang's experience after coming to Sanya, Haihan's emphasis on publicity was top-down. The special establishment of the Propaganda Department, a department directly managed by the Executive Committee, is enough to show how seriously Haihan's ruling class attaches importance to this work.

The specific working methods of the Propaganda Department can be said to be pervasive in Liu Shang's opinion. From the moment they board the ship to Sanya, there are dedicated personnel on board to introduce the customs of Haihan Country to the new immigrants who are going to Haihan Country for the first time.

Favors, laws and regulations, immigration policies, etc. allow new immigrants to have a general understanding of their destination during the journey.

After arriving in Sanya, we can feel the diversity of propaganda methods. Slogans, flags, newspapers and various street propaganda activities that are accessible to ordinary people can be seen everywhere. Storytellers like him are even recruited, and various means are used.

To name a few, they all promote the wealth and power of Haihan. The Haihan ruling area centered on Sanya is rich in materials and has a peaceful society. Living in such an environment, it is indeed easy to be constantly brainwashed.

Public opinion propaganda has cultivated a sense of superiority as a Haihan citizen. The people in the southeastern coastal areas of the Ming Dynasty seem to have been significantly affected by this. Every year, a large number of civilians still choose to cross the sea to Hainan Island to seek refuge with the Haihan people.

Although it is unlikely that the Ming Dynasty would follow Haihan in setting up an yamen dedicated to propaganda work, Liu Shang was personally very interested in Haihan's work methods in this field, which is why he chose to disguise himself as a storyteller and enter Sanya to lurk.

1. Liu Shang believes that even if Haihan's advantages in the military and economic fields are difficult to defeat, if loopholes in his domestic governance methods can be found, then he can try to formulate some more targeted measures to suppress Haihan.

development. Especially in the field of propaganda, which plays an important supporting role in maintaining its rule. In order to find a way to break the brainwashing methods of the Haihan government on the people, we must first have a thorough understanding of this field.

After arranging this matter, Chang Degao took Liu Shang to see Hong Jingwen, the chief of the Propaganda Department. Chief Hong's office is next door to Chang Degao's office, but as the official in charge of publicity work in Sanya Port District, his

The office is not the quadruple room in Changdegao, but is used alone.

When Liu Shang saw this man, he seemed to be about the same age as Chang De. He looked like a young man in his early twenties, but perhaps due to his official position, his temperament was indeed calmer than Chang De's. Chang De listened quietly.

After Gao's introduction, he simply encouraged Liu Shang and then asked Chang Degao to take him to go through the training procedures.

"Chief Hong and Director Chang are both young and promising! Liu is already over 10 years old and has still accomplished nothing. It's really shameful to think about it!" After coming out of Hong Jingwen's office, Liu Shang also pretended to express a few words. Officer Haihan's

His youthfulness really surprised him. Even the other people in the same office as Chang Degao looked young. He knew that Haihan had his own system for selecting talents through imperial examinations, but these people at such a young age were able to serve for

This also shows that Haihan's senior officials have confidence in their abilities. Of course, if you look at it from another perspective, this is probably because Haihan has only been a country for a short time and there are not enough professional bureaucrats to fill these positions. They can only appoint a large number of them.

Trained young people.

Chang Degao responded: "You are too polite, but Chief Hong's resume is indeed incomparable. He came to Sanya two years earlier than me. He was trained with Director Yu of the Youth League and Director Zhang of the Security Department. His professional ability

He is much better than me. At that time, the leaders taught in person, so you can be regarded as their direct disciples, and your future development will definitely be much better than mine."

Liu Shang didn't know who Director Yu and Director Zhang Chang Degao was talking about, but he didn't realize it when he said it. It seems that Chief Hong's qualifications are indeed quite high, and he is probably one of the young officials in Haihan.

Outstanding.

Liu Shang asked tentatively: "Then Chief Hong...is our immediate boss?"

Chang Degao explained: "Speaking of this, let me first explain to you the structure of our Propaganda Department. Although our Propaganda Department is an independent unit, at the local level, it still accepts the administrative management of the Administrative Committee. The Sanya Port Area

Chief Hong is responsible for the local publicity work. He can be said to be my immediate boss. As for you, it depends on the work allocation after the training. If you are assigned back here, of course it will be the same."

Liu Shang continued to ask: "How many people do we have in the Publicity Department?"

"Including Chief Hong, there are ten people in total." Chang Degao continued to explain: "Although we don't have many people, our task is not light. There are thousands of floating people in Sanya Port Area every day, and the population of the entire port area is year-round.

All are above 30,000. Every densely populated place here is our work area. Every slogan, every flag you see outside, every notice posted on the roadside notice board, newspapers,

In short, we are responsible for all the propaganda content you see and hear in Sanya Port. By the way, there are also craftsmen like you who perform storytellers in teahouses and restaurants, and those are also the objects of our supervision."

Liu Shang was a little confused. At first, it sounded like it had a lot of authority and was in charge of everything. But after thinking about it carefully, it seemed that it was only in charge of trivial matters, and no specific measures were mentioned. What on earth is this Propaganda Department doing?

After listening to it, he still didn't have a clear idea.

But Chang Degao then said: "You are new here, and now I am telling you about work, but you don't know how to proceed, so I have to arrange for you to receive training for a few days... It's getting late now, so you can follow me first

Let’s go have a meal, and we’ll go to the training center to go through the formalities in the afternoon.”

When Liu Shang heard this, he took this opportunity to invite Chang Degao out to a restaurant, but Chang Degao waved his hand and said: "No need to spend money, our staff here are responsible for the food, you just come with me."

Chang Degao took him downstairs. He didn't go out of the door but went directly north through a corridor. Liu Shang smelled the aroma of food. It turned out that behind the office building, there was a canteen that provided meals for employees.

Although the area is not large, there are only six pine wood tables, but it is enough to seat thirty or forty people, which is basically enough for the employees of the office building. Chang Degao took a wooden tray to him to let him have something to eat.

Just follow your example.

The employees' lunch includes two meat and two vegetables, plus a small bowl of seaweed soup. There is no limit to the amount of rice. The canteen staff will put it all on a tray. Finally, they can take a pair of chopsticks at the end of the dining table and carry it back to the table to eat.

Liu Shang had never tried this kind of dining method before, and he was very surprised. He was quick in thinking and quickly noticed the benefits of this arrangement. The dishes available to everyone were the same, and he only had to queue up to receive them.

However, the operating efficiency of the canteen is extremely high, and employees do not need to bring their own tableware. After eating, they can put the tableware in the recycling area next to it and leave. The canteen staff will sort and clean it.

The food in the canteens of Haihan and other agencies has always been of a very high standard. The executive committee will even conduct irregular inspections to ensure that the quality of the food in the canteens will not be compromised due to the gradual laziness of some chefs.

Side stall level. After taking two bites, Liu Shang felt that the food was different from the food he usually ate, and the taste was more delicious. He asked Chang Degao this question without realizing it.

Chang Degao said: "Your tongue is very sensitive, and you can tell the difference in eating so quickly. Let me tell you, the ingredients used in the government canteen are all specially supplied. Unless you go to a few high-end restaurants in Sanya, otherwise they are generally available on the market.

Restaurants definitely can’t compare. Besides, if you eat in a restaurant outside, no chef would be willing to use a variety of spices in the dish. This is a big cost. I told you not to eat out.

Because the food in our canteen is better than eating outside, and it doesn’t cost money, you can see how cost-effective it is.”

Liu Shangxin said, "These small favors from the Haihan people may seem ordinary, but if you pay attention to the details, they are indeed very effective in winning people's hearts. If you work in this environment, it is no wonder that many people have devoted their lives to Haihan since then. But this has increased

The operating cost should not be a small amount. If the Haihan people's yamen operate like this, then it can only be said that they are rich and willful.
