Chapter 462 Official routine

During this period, ships from Annan continued to deliver South Vietnamese prisoners of war to Changhua Port every five or six days. After nearly half a year of the Battle of Hue, the speed of importing prisoners of war and immigrants from Annam

It is also decreasing as the domestic situation calms down. During the peak period, the transportation scale of more than 3,000 people per month has been gradually reduced to about 1,000 people per month at the level of the same period in the second half of last year. Although in order to ensure that there are enough people on the Changhua construction site

The labor force was available, and the Executive Committee directly handed over most of the population to the engineering department in Changhua. However, for such a large project, even if this number was doubled several times, it may not be able to meet the needs of accelerating the progress of the project.

Under this background, Shi Zidong's small labor force also became a favorite in the eyes of the construction site headquarters. Qiao Zhiya spent a lot of thought and finally brought in all the remaining labor force in Shi Zidong.

Although it seems to be a drop in the bucket, it finally adds a feasible way to the local labor source. In this way, when the same method is used to trick other Li and Miao villages, there will be success to show.

model.

Of course, not all Li people can adapt to this change in living environment and work style. There are also a small number of people in Shizidong who are unwilling to leave the mountainous area and have not joined the migration industry. However, due to the situation in Shizidong and the sea

The Han people have reached an agreement. These people cannot continue to stay in the Shilu area and can only switch to Lidong, which is located further inland.

On September 3, 1629, an "exploration-class" warship belonging to the militia navy slowly sailed into Changhua Port and docked at the No. 5 berth dedicated to the military. Since several batches of military ships arrive every month

Here, the tasks of patrolling or transporting personnel and supplies are performed, so the staff on the dock are accustomed to catching the cables thrown from the ship and tying them to the cement piles on the shore. However, when this absent-minded sailor saw the ship passing by

The people who got off the gangplank to the shore immediately stood up straight as a reflex, put their right fist on their left chest, and shouted piously: "Serve the Executive Committee!"

This was not the first time that Tao Donglai had enjoyed treatment similar to that of a "religious leader" outside. He was not surprised. He slightly raised his hand to signal to the dock worker, surrounded by a group of militiamen.

and left. However, the naturalized citizen was still very excited. Not everyone could have the opportunity to serve Chief Tao at such a close distance, not to mention the other party’s very obvious reaction just now. This matter has already

It was enough for him to brag in front of his family and friends for half a year.

Tao Donglai suddenly appeared in Changhua. On the one hand, it was because after Liu Shan was transferred to perform other tasks in the summer, the Ministry of Construction no longer had heavyweight cadres to supervise construction in the Changhua area. Although Qiao Zhiya can also direct ordinary road construction projects, his staffing is still limited.

In the military, the Ministry of Construction is not very good at handing over all its work to other departments.

Of course, with the complicated responsibilities that Tao Donglai has, the possibility of him staying here is even smaller than that of Liu Shanxia. The main purpose of coming here is to inspect the progress of the project and provide some policy-related information to the managers here.

More clear opinions and orders.

In addition, Tao Donglai also has another small task, which is to announce the formal establishment of the Changhua Port Management Committee, and appoint Qiao Zhiya as the interim director of the Management Committee on behalf of the executive committee, and continue to serve as Changhua Port Management Committee concurrently.

The position of general commander of the transportation line project headquarters.

Qiao Zhiya was a little bit sad when he took over the appointment letter from Tao Donglai. Three years ago, he was an automobile mechanic in Detroit. He loved excitement and participated in the mysterious "time travel" with several of his best friends.

He came to this unimaginable era. The skills in hardware, chemical industry, engineering, navigation, combat and other skills he learned before traveling allowed him to have his own position in this team. However, he was able to step into the field of politics from other fields step by step.

This is a path that even he himself has not thought of.

If someone had told Qiao Zhiya three years ago that he would be a county magistrate or something like that in a seaside fishing village in southern China, he would have thought that this guy was talking nonsense. However, today this seemingly absurd plot has come true.

It really happened. Qiao Zhiya didn't know how to describe his mixed feelings now. To be honest, he was not particularly interested in politics, but he knew very well that in this group, politics was undoubtedly the most important thing.

A shortcut to the top of power.

In contrast, although joining the army can quickly accumulate military merits and gain promotions, the risks are still there. Since the establishment of the militia, although no time traveler officers have been killed in battle, injuries are inevitable.

Qiao Zhiya himself was bravely wounded in the battle when he first went to Annan to participate in the Battle of Hengshan. Although his arm was only scratched by a cold arrow shot by the South Vietnamese army, it is difficult to imagine that the arrow missed another direction.

What will be the consequences of half a foot? No one has eyesight. No one on the battlefield dares to say that his life is strong enough to cope with all situations. Qiao Zhiya does not want to become a professional soldier in the army for a long time. Now this path,

It really suits his current situation and mentality.

At Tao Donglai's initiative, the reception banquet was very shortened. This was not because Tao Donglai consciously advocated integrity, but because his time to stay in the local area was relatively limited, and the tasks that needed to be assigned to Qiao Zhiya were not

It's a lot. It's better to save the time for eating and drinking and do something practical.

One of the tasks that Tao Donglai wants to explain to Qiao Zhiya is the arrangements for the recent reception of the Qionglianfa delegation. In view of the fact that the number of immigrants introduced from Annan has begun to trend downward, the Executive Committee believes that the source of labor in the Fulu area of ​​Changchun

We can no longer rely on Annan's transportation. There are some channels that can be used, and we have to make full use of them. For example, the local Limiao indigenous people, such as using the influence of Ming merchants in the mainland, to hire large numbers of laborers.

Shipped here to participate in the construction.

Of course, whether it is the railway from Changhua to Shilu or the large-scale mineral deposits that will be fully exploited in the Shilu area, these are important projects related to Haihan's future national economy and people's livelihood. The executive committee will not allow outsiders to directly participate in the operation. But since

If you want businessmen from the Ming Dynasty to contribute money and efforts, it will definitely not work without giving any benefits. Schneider gave the executive committee a more practical method based on certain operating examples from another time and space, which is to issue bonds for related projects.

.

Bonds are not unfamiliar to time-travelers, but in this era, they are considered a relatively advanced way of operating funds. However, Schneider came up with this idea not entirely to raise project funds, Haihan

The group's current economic situation does not require it to absorb funds from the outside to build large-scale projects. To put it bluntly, this is actually the same method used to develop Sanya and attract investment for projects. However, in order to avoid important industries, external funds cannot be allowed to participate in operations.

After the ban, Schneider came up with bonds as a compromise method that would not touch the restricted area. If done correctly, it could even solve the problem of labor shortage.

The solution to this problem is not complicated. That is to add a purchase right threshold to bonds with good returns and promising market prospects. That is, the purchase rights are directly linked to the number of immigrants provided by the buyer. Whoever attracts more immigrants per unit time will be

Accordingly, more "Jiongxi Development Bonds" can be purchased. Of course, in this process, the costs of recruiting and transporting immigrants are borne by Haihan. The manager only needs to pull the people to the designated location and

Just sign an employment agreement with Haihan.

Although there are many businesses in Haihan that are constantly attracting skilled immigrants to Haihan, for the booming Haihan, the population will always be in short supply. And the Executive Committee also hopes that through this new

This method can stimulate those large businessmen who maintain close cooperative relations with Haihan, allowing them to put part of their energy into the field of immigration and make full use of their influence in the mainland to absorb and transfer the population needed by Haihan.

Tao Donglai crossed his legs and sipped hot tea. This was mountain wild tea picked by the Li people in Shizidong from their previous settlement. Although it was not as mellow as the Tieguanyin in Anxi, Fujian Province that Tao Donglai liked very much, it still had another very special flavor.

Simple mountain flavor.

Tao Donglai put down his tea cup and started to get to the point: "Qiong Lianfa's inspection team will arrive in Changhua in about two or three days, so I came here a few days in advance to standardize the administrative establishment here so that you don't have to worry about it.

The responsibilities of the stalls nearby have always been unclear..."

When Qiao Zhiya heard this, he not only thought to himself that the opportunity for his promotion had come so quickly because of Qiong Lianfa's roundabout contribution. However, the executive committee changed the original work process for this reason, and Tao

Donglaidu personally went to Changhua to visit the front station, and it can be felt from here that they attach great importance to the bond investment issue.

Since it is a project that the Executive Committee attaches great importance to, it can basically be equated with the four words "no room for error". Qiao Zhiya did not want his first project to be messed up after taking office, so he listened very carefully.

Tao Donglaijie continued: "Our purpose of building this railway and the project to be developed in Shilu do not need to be kept secret from this inspection group. Because our profit prospects on this project can only be determined by the content of the project.

To embody.”

Qiao Zhiya nodded in agreement and said: "Actually, it's useless for outsiders to know what we plan to do here. Who else besides us has the ability to develop this place? The Changhua County government can't even control ten miles outside the city, let alone develop it.

It’s rocky.”

Tao Donglai responded: "Speaking of this, I heard that the Ming military attaché in Changhua has been dragged into the trap by you?"

"The general of the Ming Army in Changhua County is called Xiao Laosan. He is also a clever man who can see the limelight. Last time I caught a fugitive, I showed my hand in front of him and calmed him down. Then I chose

Completely cooperate with us. This guy is not particularly greedy for money. I am very satisfied if I give him dozens of taels of silver a month."

If Xiao Laosan knew that Qiao Zhiya was evaluating him like this behind his back, he would definitely feel dumbfounded. This price was originally offered by Qiao Zhiya tentatively, but for Xiao Laosan, it is already a considerable amount of income. You must know that if he

Relying on military pay alone, one year's income is almost the same as the monthly payment offered by Qiao Zhiya. It is strange that Xiao Laosan is not tempted.

But if Xiao Laosan knew the sky-high investment amount of the Changhua project and the scale of the industrial base Haihan planned to build in this area, he would probably have raised the price and raised the price. It is precisely because he did not have this awareness that Xiao Laosan

He also missed the opportunity to make more profits for his small treasury. Of course, if he really dared to blackmail Haihan, he would probably become one of the few officials in the history of Changhua County to die in the line of duty.

"When the time comes, please invite this Xiao Laosan out and ask him to endorse the inspection team, so that those Ming businessmen can feel more at ease." When Tao Dong came to see Qiao Zhiya, he looked like he was eating him to death, and immediately gave him

An advanced version of his mission.

"No problem!" Qiao Zhiya agreed immediately. Although Xiao Laosan is not yet obedient to his words, if Qiao Zhiya has any invitation, he will actively participate in it. And Tao Dong said this

The matter is official, and there will definitely be a hard-earned money for Xiao Laosan. With his character of not letting go of dozens of taels of silver, of course he will not refuse this innocuous task.

Asking Ming officials to come forward and endorse various development projects in Haihan has become the standard operating method for relevant departments to carry out development in the nominal Ming-controlled areas. The first to use this routine were the Yazhou Shuizhai and Yulin inspections

They are two Ming official agencies. At that time, they mainly used the reputation of official agencies to stabilize the uneasy psychology of the immigrants who had just arrived in Victory Port. Later, this effective method was promoted, and even Haihan recruited people in rural areas of Guangdong.

The immigrants also used the official documents issued by the Yacheng government to ensure that Haihan's recruitment was reasonable and legal. It was entirely a semi-official way to recruit immigrants, and it did achieve excellent results at the time. After all, compared to the mysterious background of Haihan,

Haihan, the name of the Ming Dynasty has more credibility.

These successful experiences are constantly being summarized and then applied in various subsequent projects. Although the members of Qiong Lianfa’s inspection team are all senior partners of Haihan, they have full confidence in Haihan.

But if getting official endorsement is just a piece of cake, then Haihan would not hesitate to spend some money to make things more beautiful. Qiao Zhiya, on the other hand, naturally regards this as a way to show his ability in front of Tao Donglai.

Chance.
