Chapter 1383 Majiazhuang Immigration Camp
Liu Shang originally wanted to find an opportunity to apply to the military leaders for a job in the military. He had even thought about how to mention the matter to Tan Wei, who would apply on his behalf. However, he did not expect that he would have already applied.
The senior military officials noticed and made specific work arrangements. Chen Yixin was not in a hurry to talk to him alone in the past few days. He was probably secretly observing his work performance. Although the arrangement of going to the immigration camp was not to his liking,
Having the opportunity to gain a positive and capable impression with Chen Yixin may have unexpected benefits for future career development.
After Liu Shang changed this idea in his mind, he felt a little surprised. Unknowingly, he had been subconsciously considering his official career in Haihan as a life plan more and more often. Even if he often used "collecting intelligence"
"Such an excuse is used to convince oneself, but in fact, if you calm down and think about it, you will understand, so what if you have collected Haihan's military and political information, can you still use it to exchange for Ming's fame and fortune?
Liu Shang actually knew very well that the longer he broke off contact with the Ming Dynasty's intelligence agency, the less likely he was to return to the Ming Dynasty in the future. If a certain time limit was exceeded, even if he returned to the Ming Dynasty and revealed his undercover identity, it would be difficult to gain trust again.
, maybe the possibility of being regarded as a double agent is even greater. Compared with this kind of life on the run, the benefits of being an official in Haihan with peace of mind are becoming more and more prominent, even if it is just an expatriate assigned to a "remote area"
He is a small official, but his future upward momentum is foreseeable, and he does not need to fight for wealth with his life, as long as he completes the work at hand in a down-to-earth manner.
Which of the two roads is better? Liu Shang is not a fool. He has naturally understood it for a long time. However, he has never had an opportunity to make up his mind. Even if his colleagues who were also lurking in Sanya died in a shipwreck,
Still, he couldn't completely give up his original identity and mission. He actually didn't know what kind of opportunity he was waiting for, but he would inevitably still try to collect information according to his past habits.
Although the work in the immigration camp is not challenging, it is much easier for Liu Shang to get started, and there is almost no adaptation period. He may be more knowledgeable about the rules and regulations that new immigrants need to understand than the officers in charge of affairs before.
After all, when he first arrived in Sanya, his main daily activity was to listen to propagandists explain Haohaihan’s immigration policies and various regulations over and over again. This practice has been adopted over many years of practice.
It has proven to be extremely effective. Nowadays, the same operation is carried out in overseas immigration points everywhere, and Shandong is naturally no exception.
Chen Yixin was very satisfied with Liu Shang's attitude and nodded and continued: "As you can see, the temporary resettlement site in Majiazhuang is not large in scale. After the preliminary selection, the immigrants received here will be sent to Zhifu one after another.
On the other side of the island, we are waiting for the shipping department to arrange a sailing schedule to send them to the south. I believe you are more familiar with the immigration work at this stage than I am."
Majiazhuang is considered a front-line institution for receiving immigrants, while the immigration camp on Zhifu Island is a transit center. The more publicity immigrants receive at front-line institutions, the easier it will be to arrange them later. Especially for places like
Shandong immigrants require long-distance migration across regions. If the situation is not explained clearly to the immigrants during the recruitment and acceptance stage, unnecessary misunderstandings will easily occur during the transportation stage. This is why it is necessary to have experienced and capable immigration agencies.
Propaganda staff, with their assistance, the work of the civil affairs department will be at least 30% easier.
When Chen Yixin was in charge of civil affairs, there were far insufficient professionals in all aspects on hand. Many positions could only be temporarily filled by military officers. The work effect was definitely not as good as that of professionals. In addition, after the last murder case, the security situation
The Ministry of Civil Affairs has also been investigating loopholes in the immigration work, and the relevant personnel have been more or less suspected. The cadres who arrived north at this time have a much cleaner background, especially Su, who was sent by the Ministry of Civil Affairs.
However, within a few days of arriving in Shandong, the shady issues existing in the immigration work were exposed. This made Chen Yixin even more determined to hand over relevant matters to the cadres heading north.
The candidate recommended by Yu Xiaobao seems to be relatively reliable in Chen Yixin's opinion. Although Liu Shang's qualifications for naturalization in Haihan are only more than half a year, he was favored by the Propaganda Department and the Youth League one after another, and even followed the inspection team around the island
This experience of inspecting and performing official duties is enough to prove that this person's professional ability is not bad, and he has shown high enough loyalty for the official to trust him. Despite this, Chen Yixin still carefully conducted several days of observation.
, it was not until yesterday that Liu Shang was confirmed to be activated.
Because Liu Shang's cooperation was high enough, Chen Yixin no longer had to spend more time explaining the work content to him in detail. He immediately asked: "If you have no other questions, you can start working as soon as possible."
Liu Shangying said: "There is only one problem with this humble position. How should we deal with the political work that was handed over to the Zhifu Island military camp?"
Chen Yixin waved his hand and said: "You don't have to worry about this. I have already said hello to Qin Wei. You should first take charge of the work in Majiazhuang. When the publicity work here is on track, it will not be too late to take over other affairs."
Liu Shang quickly agreed. He was not sure whether Chen Yixin wanted to use this opportunity to test himself again or if he had any longer-term plans. However, at present, he could only obey orders and was not qualified to question the senior officials' work arrangements for him.
Chen Yixin called an orderly in and asked Liu Shang to report to the immigration camp with him. This way, he no longer had to write a letter of introduction to Liu Shang, and the orderly could convey it orally.
The orderly took Liu Shang to the place and called the steward over to introduce Liu Shang's identity and mission. The mission was completed. The man in charge of managing the immigrant camp was a man named Ma Bo, a native of Majiazhuang and a member of the Ma clan.
Ma Dongqiang's nephew, considering his seniority, he is still somewhat close to the Ma family's son-in-law Chen Yixin. Naturally, he was able to get this job mainly because of his status. In fact, many institutions inside and outside Majiazhuang do have
Many errands are taken care of by members of the Ma clan. To a certain extent, this can be regarded as one person achieving enlightenment and ascending to heaven.
Ma Bo used to be a small landowner, with more than 200 acres of land under his name, several long-term workers, and a yard with three entrances. After Haihan took over this place, the Ma family people saw the situation and joined the new owner one after another, and Ma Bo also did not
Exception, but he has no business acumen, so he finally took the job of managing an immigrant camp. Although it is not a fat job, in this world, being protected by a strong man like Haihan is far more valuable than having a golden mountain at home.
Yinshan is much more reliable. Moreover, he also received a promise from Haihan that in the future, when his family moves to the south, the land they can obtain will be several times that of Shandong. With this escape route, Ma Bo
You don't have to worry about serving Haihan being settled by the Ming Dynasty officials.
Although Ma Bo and Chen Yixin are equals in terms of seniority, he does not dare to show off in front of Haihan officials, even if this new official is not an authentic Haihan person. He is obviously naturalized halfway and has not even cut his hair.
He did not dare to show any slights to the naturalized Han Chinese. After all, there was a fundamental identity difference between the naturalized Han officials and the non-staff Mingren like him.
Ma Bo led the way and said: "Mr. Liu, I heard that you are a high-ranking official from the capital of Haihan. If you have time, please tell me, a countryman, more about the customs and customs of Haihan country, so as to avoid having to go to Haihan in the future."
I can’t even figure out the southeast, northwest, and southeast of the country.”
Liu Shang couldn't laugh or cry and said: "Don't listen to the nonsense of that little soldier just now. I am just an errand boy. I am not a high-ranking official. I don't need to mention this title. You and I will work together next time. If Brother Ma doesn't mind it,
Just call me Brother Liu."
Liu Shang didn't want to pretend to be a big shot in front of this country rich man, and the orderly who just brought him here also explained Ma Bo's identity on the way. He didn't want him to turn around and report to Chen Yixin. It was better to be cautious here.
It was very necessary. But while he lowered his status to build relationships, he did not deny that he was from Haihan Capital, and he still retained a sense of psychological superiority to some extent.
The experience of being in the market for many years allows Liu Shang to quickly win the favor of all kinds of people, especially a rich country man like Ma Bo who has never seen the big world.
, a few words made Ma Bo feel that the envoy from the capital was approachable. Liu Shang originally came in a hurry, and his luggage was not packed and his accommodation was not found, but Ma Bo agreed with all his heart and let him
Liu Shang first lived in his home, and all the daily necessities were new.
In fact, Mabo does not have to pay for this out of his own pocket. Majiazhuang Immigration Camp is a public institution, and the daily supplies and expenses are provided by the Ministry of Civil Affairs. The cost of one more person is not a big deal. Mabo only needs to make room at home.
Just leave a room. Of course, using this to build relationships is the fundamental reason why Ma Bo is so enthusiastic and proactive.
Liu Shang's thoughts were deeper. He was wondering why Chen Yixin had even sent a carriage to the dock to pick him up. How could he forget to arrange accommodation for him? This was probably to give Ma Bo a chance to show off. Of course, he
I will definitely not refuse Ma Bo's kindness, otherwise, in this cold weather, why not spend the night huddled with immigrants?
The scale of this immigration camp is not large, with five rows of tile-roofed houses, each with ten rooms. According to the design standards, each room can accommodate ten people. The entire camp can accommodate about five hundred immigrants. It has similar facilities as toilets, canteens, bathhouses, etc.
The supporting facilities are all built in a unified manner, and a fence is built on the outside to isolate this place from Majiazhuang.
However, it is already winter, and qualified immigrants have been transferred to Zhifu Island to wait for the next allocation. Currently, there are less than 300 immigrants living here temporarily. According to Ma Bo, there are about more than 100 immigrants.
They are new immigrants who have just completed the formalities and moved in recently. Most of these people come from nearby Wendeng, Rongcheng, Rushan, Mouping, Haiyang, Laiyang, Zhaoyuan and other counties. There are also a few from Laizhou Prefecture, Lonely, Ping
From Du, Changyi, Gaomi and other counties.
When Haihan first arrived in Shandong, there were even refugees fleeing from Qingzhou Prefecture, Yanzhou Prefecture, Jinan Prefecture and other places further away. However, as the situation in Shandong has stabilized recently, the number of refugees from all over the country has gradually increased.
Reduction. Temporary resettlement sites like Majiazhuang are rarely overcrowded anymore.
Due to the lack of professional management personnel, the daily order in the camp only relies on a few long-term workers under Ma Bo, and the main means they use to restrict immigration is daily meals. Those who do not follow the rules will be punished with deductions
Meal punishment. As for more serious mistakes that even involve public security, they will be left to the Haihan garrison nearby to deal with them.
"How does the military usually punish those who are restless?" Liu Shang asked with interest. He himself has been in an immigration camp, but he also knows that the conditions in immigration camps are different in various places, such as the immigrants in Majiazhuang.
Since the camp was previously managed by the military, it was obvious that it would not be managed by ordinary means.
Ma Bo responded: "It's much easier for military men to do things. If you don't abide by the rules and don't want to repent, just clean them out."
"Just drive them out and that's it?" Liu Shangke didn't believe that the military's management would be so simple and crude. If these refugees who entered the Haihan-occupied area were not controlled, they would soon become a hidden danger to local security.
Haihan has very rich experience in immigration operations, so it stands to reason that he would not make such a low-level mistake.
"No, he was sent to Fushan Copper Mine to work as a miner." After Ma Bo finished speaking, he asked again: "Does Brother Liu know this place?"
"I know, I know." Liu Shang nodded and responded.
According to the information he came across before setting off from Sanya, Haihan chose Fushan County as his base in Shandong. One of the reasons was that there were large copper mines available for mining. The labor required to mine the deposits was obviously not high.
It will be a small number. Haihan throws those unruly refugees into mining, which is in line with their usual practice - most of the prisoners sentenced to imprisonment in Haihan are also sent to places like mines to perform hard labor.
.
Ma Bo continued: "Generally speaking, these people sent to the mines are unlikely to come back in the short term, so this method can scare people. But according to my uncle...according to Chief Chen's wishes, it is still
We should try our best to let these refugees understand Haihan Country’s immigration policy and reduce the number of mistakes made due to ignorance.”
Since Chen Yixin was mentioned, Liu Shang naturally had to echo the compliment: "Chief Chen is young and promising, and he can also sympathize with the sufferings of the people. He is really a model for our generation to learn from."
