Chapter 1270 Everyone looks for a way out

This kind of additional benefit requires a lot of money to support. Naturally, the local officials and yamen of the Ming Dynasty cannot fully imitate it. Only a wealthy man like Haihan would adopt such a measure. Although Liu Shang is not greedy for petty interests,

Although he is a man of profit, he can also feel how careful Haihan is in these details that win people over. It is said that Haihan has appointed thousands of civil and military officials at all levels, most of whom moved in from various countries after the rise of power.

Immigrants, these people are willing to work hard for Haihan, probably not just for power, this generous treatment should also be part of the reason.

Of course, even if the Ming government is willing to tighten their belts and follow this approach, it will at most have a certain effect on the lower-level officials. The middle- and upper-level officials will definitely not care about this nonsense, and they will be too busy with the entertainment they receive and send every day.

, who would care about this lunch. Liu didn't know yet whether Haihan's middle- and upper-level officials would be in a similar situation, but Chang Degao rejected Jiang Han and his invitation twice, so he could see Haihan's

Grassroots officials still have certain professional ethics.

After lunch, Chang Degao took Liu Shang to go through the training procedures. This training center is not at the Port Management Committee, but is located on the Luhuitou Peninsula. Han Zhengshan, the police chief who had gone south to Xingdao before, joined the post in Sanya

They were trained at this training center. In theory, newly recruited civil servants in Haihan will first receive induction training of varying lengths here, and can only formally perform their duties after passing the basic professional assessment.

With Chang Degao taking care of him, the procedures were naturally completed smoothly. However, because this was a closed training and it lasted for more than ten days, Liu Shang had to go back to his residence to pack up and bring his personal belongings over.

The official check-in time was changed to the next day.

After completing the formalities, Chang Degao said to him: "I won't come over to report tomorrow. You can study on your own for the rest of your study arrangements."

Liu Shang bowed deeply and said: "Thank you very much for the promotion, Director Chang. After the training is over, Liu will find an opportunity to thank you in person."

Changde waved his hand high and said: "You don't have to be so polite. I'm just doing my job. Besides, if a talent like you doesn't stand up and serve the country, your talent will be buried. You perform well here,

If you are favored by the higher-ups, it is possible that you will be sent to Fort Victory directly."

Liu Shang had previously heard from Chang Degao that the Propaganda Section of the Sanya Administrative Committee was just a subordinate organization of the Propaganda Department here, and the Propaganda Department located in Victory Fort was the core of this department. However, generally new employees only know how to

Those who are assigned to work at the grassroots level in the periphery to accumulate work experience will rarely be called out by Victory Fort after the training. Of course, this possibility exists in theory. Chang Degao said this, but in fact it is also true.

It can be regarded as a blessing to him.

If there really is an opportunity to work in the core area of ​​Fort Victory, Liu Shang will naturally try his best to fight for it. His purpose of coming to Sanya is to understand in as much detail as possible how the Haihan ruling body operates and the political system of this emerging country.

Superficially collecting some military and economic intelligence. Only in the core area of ​​Fort Victory was it possible for Liu Shang to get in close contact with and observe the real rulers of this country - those who were said to have crossed the sea from thousands of miles away.

Han people.

During the time Liu Shang arrived in Sanya, he had not really observed the Haihan people at close range. The two times he encountered the chief came to inspect the Sanya port area, there were also large groups of people shouting in front of him, and there were police officers outside.

On duty, ordinary people can't get close at all, and at most they can just watch the excitement. If you can lurk next to these Haihan people, who are called leaders by the people, it is already a great achievement.

After saying goodbye to Chang Degao, Liu Shang did not go back to his residence directly, but went to Xinlong Teahouse first. First, he retrieved some personal belongings that he had temporarily left in the teahouse for performances, and second, he said hello to Jiang Han.

Thank you for taking care of me during this time.

Liu Shang accepted the call from the government and was about to resign. Naturally, this news could not be hidden from the tea guests who came every day. The news soon spread in the teahouse, and many people took the initiative to come up to congratulate him when they saw him.

He was promoted. As Liu Shang dealt with it, he thought to himself that the interview went smoothly, otherwise if he had come back in despair, he would have been made fun of.

Probably out of respect for Liu Shang's change in identity, Jiang Han was much more polite than the day before and directly invited him to the back hall to talk. Liu Shang couldn't just take his things and leave, so he followed him to the back to sit down and chat.

After waiting for a while, Jiang Han just told him to come back and walk around more often after entering the Yamen. If he needed help with anything, just ask him. In the final analysis, he just tried to maintain the friendship with Liu Shang and wanted to help him before.

The employment relationship gradually turned into a personal relationship.

After Liu Shang paid all the polite remarks, he said goodbye and left. Jiang Han enthusiastically sent him out of the store and planned to call a rickshaw for him, but Liu Shang politely refused this time. He didn't want to

I owe Jiang Han too many favors, so it would be better to keep a more appropriate distance.

When Liu Shang returned to his residence, he saw Liao Yuan sitting in the yard, giving instructions to several of his brothers. Liu Shang did not go over to join in the fun, he said hello and went back to his room by himself.

Not long after, Liao Yuan knocked on the door. Liu Shang opened the door and invited him into the room. He took the initiative and said: "I went to the Port District Management Committee to meet with the people from the Publicity Department today. The interview went very well. I already completed the naturalization procedures in the morning."

, it will be officially naturalized in a few days.”

Liao Yuan had hit a snag with him before. He had originally prepared some rhetoric to smooth things over with Liu Shang, but he didn't expect that the other party's attitude had changed drastically today and he was actually so cooperative. Liao Yuan sighed and said, "Mr. Liu's naturalization speed is so fast.

It’s really enviable. After only one month here, I can get special approval from the government. Except for those who are enlisted in the army, this is really the best treatment among immigrants!"

Liu Shangdao: "A shrimp has its own path, and a crab has its own path. We just take different paths. How is the situation over there? Do you know when you can get Haihan nationality?"

Liao Yuan responded: "I asked my employer, and it takes three months at the earliest to apply. I came one month earlier than you, so I have to wait at least another month. But he has a good relationship with the Haihan Civil Affairs Department.

It will be up to him to apply for naturalization, and he will be able to pass the application with just one application."

Haihan nationality is a threshold for all foreigners who want to lurk here for a long time. If you have no special skills and want to stay in Sanya and do not want to be assigned to other areas for resettlement, you will be approved for naturalization.

The time often lasts much longer than three months. There are also a large number of new immigrants who have not yet naturalized after staying here for a year, and almost all of them are low-level workers who sell their labor. Strictly speaking, as previously mentioned by Liao Yuan and others,

The street performing arts and martial arts performances also have little technical content, and the social value they can create is extremely limited. According to Haihan officials, they must be considered as a business that simply sells labor.

If they hadn't found a new way out, it would have been impossible for people like Liao Yuan and others to get through once they applied. New immigrants like street performers who don't have a fixed job unit are considered unstable factors in the eyes of the government. It's almost impossible to get a job before changing careers.

Sanya was approved for naturalization. But with Liu Zhenguo as a backer, the few of them who worked in the store could avoid a lot of detours. Liu Zhenguo transported more than 10,000 northern immigrants to Haihan successively, and the Civil Affairs Bureau was full of people.

Officials have all dealt with it, and naturally they will not encounter any obstacles when applying for naturalization for their own employees working in Sanya.

Liu Shang nodded and said: "It's not a big deal if you wait for one more month. The security in Sanya is very peaceful, and one month will pass quickly."

Liao Yuan also deeply agreed with this: "It is true. There are police and militiamen on duty here in the port area during the day, and at night there are patrols by the security teams jointly funded by various chambers of commerce. To be honest, it doesn't matter whether the business houses ask for nursing homes or not.

Impact. But now that the owner has a strong family background and a huge maritime trade business, he probably won’t care about the extra wages."

Liu Shang asked: "I heard that Boss Liu started his career as a boat dealer?"

"Nowadays, he is still a shipping company. From Shandong to the South China Sea, his ships are running on the sea. It is said that he has hundreds of ships working for him." Liao Yuan couldn't help but sigh when talking about this: "My family is so rich.

The maritime merchants are also working for the Haihan people. No wonder Haihan's route can advance all the way north. But having said that, without Haihan, he may not be able to reach the scale of business today. The southeast coast sea

This is roughly the reason why Shang Duo cooperated with Haihan."

Liu Shang responded: "Those who are unwilling to cooperate should have been driven out and killed by Haihan long ago!"

At this point, the two of them looked at each other and were speechless for a moment. Naturally, they had heard about Haihan's various actions on the southeastern coast of the Ming Dynasty in the past few years. Anyone who dared to confront him had almost always done so in the past few years.

During the foreign wars of Haihan, they were wiped out in the name of "suppressing pirates" and "hunting and killing bandits". Among them, the most famous one was the Shibazhi, who was once arrogant in the waters of Fuzhou and Guangzhou.

The Shibazhi were once one of the strongest maritime armed forces in the Fu-Guang sea area. With the behind-the-scenes support of the Dutch, they were even able to use force to suppress the Ming Navy in this area. But starting from the first year of Chongzhen, Zheng Zhilong and

The challenger Haihan appeared in front of his brothers, and they have been at a disadvantage from the beginning of the fight between the two sides. Although Shibazhi tried his best in the following years, he could not stop being hit by Haihan every year.

Decline. Zheng Zhilong struggled to hold on until the sixth year of Chongzhen. Finally, the Haihan Navy invaded Miyako Island in the ocean east of Taiwan. The Shiba Zhi was also declared completely destroyed.

Those who were killed almost at the same time as Shibazhi were also numerous armed maritime merchant organizations located in the Zhoushan Islands, Zhejiang. Some of these large and small organizations took advantage of the situation and promptly switched camps to join Haihan, while some resisted stubbornly.

In the end, he inevitably ended up with the same fate as Shiba Zhi.

With such examples, no one among the maritime merchants in the southeastern coastal areas of the Ming Dynasty would dare to risk the disapproval of the world and go against the Haihan people. In the early days, almost all the maritime merchants who embraced the Haihan people became famous in just a few years.

Li Jifeng in Guangdong, Liu Zhenguo in Fujian, and the three Lin brothers in Zhejiang are all vivid examples of local powerful people, and there are naturally countless imitators.

Since there will be many benefits from cooperating with the Haihan people, who is willing to risk their lives with the Haihan people knowing that they can't beat them? As for what kind of damage this kind of trade cooperation will cause to the Ming Dynasty, that's

The government should only worry about things. The bounden duty of businessmen is to make money, and making more money into their own pockets is their ultimate goal. What's more, they are backed by countless officials with personal interests involved.

The trade relationship between Ming Dynasty and Haihan could not be severed, not even with the imperial court's orders.

Unless the man in the Forbidden City has enough courage to change all the officials in Fuzhou and Guangzhou, he may still be able to manage it for a few years. But the feasibility of this assumption is basically zero. Today, the Ming Dynasty is experiencing constant internal and external troubles.

Under such circumstances, how could the imperial court have the courage to attack the officialdom of the two provinces, which were originally relatively peaceful? Doing so would be tantamount to causing trouble for itself, and it might anger Haihan and start a war in anger. How could the south be clear about this?

Can the army defeat them?

The dependence on Haihan in various parts of the south is getting deeper and deeper, and it is extremely difficult to resolve this situation. After Liu Shang and Liao Yuan came to Sanya, they became more and more aware of the gap in national power between the two countries in all aspects. They wanted to use simple methods to solve the problem.

Military struggles or trade blockades cannot solve the conflict of interests between the two countries. And the role that their little pawns can play in this chessboard is simply minimal, and there is no way to change this situation.

Hope lies. But the task is on their side, and the direction of travel is not theirs to decide. The road ahead can only be taken one step at a time, and there is no plan at all.

Finally, Liao Yuan took the initiative to break the silence: "Since your naturalization procedures have been completed, have you been assigned an official position?"

"Official position?" Liu Shang shook his head and said, "They arranged induction training for me. I will live in that training base for the next ten days or so. I just packed my things when I came back. I have to wait for the training to determine what position I will be assigned in the end.

I found out later.”

"More than ten days...then you can't go out during this period?" Liao Yuan asked thoughtfully.

"I heard that you can't go out. Besides, I have no relatives and friends here, so I can't find any reason to go out. It's better to do more than to do less, so as not to attract the attention of the Haihan people." Liu Shang understood the purpose of Liao Yuan's question, and he was responsible for it.

In order to monitor his own task, he will have to cut off all contact with him for more than ten days. There is actually a certain risk for him. If Liu Shang exposes his identity during the training and then spits out his accomplices, Liao Yuan will run away.

There will be no buffering time.
