Chapter 92 Immigration

The recruitment of immigrant workers that day went extremely smoothly. After lunch, the working group went to the servant market. The reserved quota of 100 people was already filled, and many people were surrounding the dental dealer to ask if they would still accept more people.

The tooth dealer, in accordance with what the working group had previously explained, only said that today's quota was full, and anyone who wanted to ask for a bowl of rice should come early tomorrow. As for those who received the bamboo chips, they were notified to bring their own tomorrow afternoon.

The luggage comes here to wait for the owner, and when the time comes, arrangements will be made to take a boat to the destination.

Although the dental merchant's voice was hoarse from exhaustion, he was still quite excited to have received seven taels of silver in most of the day: "Today's recruitment of workers went so smoothly. Can you continue tomorrow?"

"Of course we have to continue. We need people for a long time, so you just do your best." Malik thought about it and added: "In the future, you don't have to emphasize that when you recruit people, they will farm and reclaim wasteland. We will also hire people who don't know how to farm.

Yes. In addition, if you can recruit various craftsmen or people with special skills, the cost can be calculated separately."

"The age of workers can also be lowered, and we also need children." Qiu Yuan also added helpfully.

In the Executive Committee's population introduction plan, in addition to the labor force, children are also a very important category. The Executive Committee believes that if a group of absolutely loyal naturalized citizens are to be cultivated within ten years, then the three views of the people have not yet been finalized.

Children are undoubtedly the best targets, so the working group was specifically requested to introduce a large number of school-age children if conditions permit.

In view of the current mixed situation of multi-ethnic students in the schools run by the public, the teaching content is still mainly Chinese literacy and conversation, followed by teaching some basic mathematical operations, and the remaining courses are basically brainwashing content.

The high-level image of the Executive Committee is constantly promoted from different angles and in different ways, allowing these students to subconsciously form the consciousness that "the decisions of the Executive Committee must be correct, and the orders of the Executive Committee must be obeyed." They have always been eyeing the population import.

The Military and Police Department of the United States is said to have included the Boy Scouts program in its schedule. Of course, the Military and Police Department’s plan to train the Boy Scouts is not to push child soldiers to the battlefield in a short period of time, but to establish a military school-style management

Institutions to partially replace ordinary schools that currently have a serious shortage of teachers.

When the Cliff Office contacted the base camp that night, it reported in detail the progress of the labor immigration work, and requested the Executive Committee to send a ship to the designated location to accept the immigrants the next day. The Executive Committee was also very satisfied with the progress of the Cliff Office.

, previously provided timely information on market trends and changes in glass products to the base camp. Currently, the Ministry of Industry is working overtime to build a glass kiln, which will be ready for small-scale production in about a week. Now the population issue that the Executive Committee is most concerned about has also achieved a breakthrough.

Naturally, they agreed to their request and said that the hot water boiler mentioned last time by the Yazhou Office was already under construction and would be shipped to Yazhou next week at the latest. At that time, samples of the newly baked glassware would be sent to Yazhou.

Send them together.

The next day Maliko and Qiu Yuan went to the servant market again. As expected, there were much fewer people than the previous day. They only recruited more than ten people in the morning. In the afternoon, the people who had come to apply for the job the day before appeared one after another with their luggage.

Outside the market, the tooth merchant counted heads, which was not much different from the day before. Seeing that the appointed time had arrived, he and Ma Qiu led the group of immigrants toward the southern coast.

This time the Executive Committee sent the "Lightning" and the Guangzhou ship where the pirates were captured last time to load people. It was the first time for the Naga merchants and these immigrants to see such a strange-looking sailing ship as the "Lightning".

I was amazed. Most of the immigrants were loaded onto the Guangzhou ship, and the cabin was packed to the brim. Only a few women and children boarded the "Lightning" and were lucky enough to enjoy this yacht trip.

After a simple handover between Malico and Wang Tom, who was leading the team, he watched the two ships pull up anchors and set sails, slowly sailing away from the coast and sailing eastward. The fleet will also stop at Tianya and Fenghuang on the way back.

Stop and bring some migrant workers recruited locally back to the Sanya base camp.

The laborers who came to apply for the job were originally a little uneasy about the prospect. After all, everything they knew came from the mouth of the dental dealer, and it was hard to say how trustworthy it was. But after they came to the beach and saw these two large ships, they

The uneasy hearts of the workers gradually calmed down. Several more articulate Hainan natives were also arranged on the ship. Throughout the voyage, they continued to preach to the newcomers the various immigration policies of the "Haihan Executive Committee". The contents were basically

It is still the same thing about the commune system and labor hierarchy, which encourages these newcomers to join the commune and exchange long-term service for various preferential treatment from the executive committee.

The effectiveness of this propaganda plan has been verified many times in the Sanya area. Although the people on board the ship were people who had never been to Sanya, the tempting propaganda they heard had already convinced them

I have a longing for the destination - the executive committee is in charge of the sky and the land, food, housing, birth, old age, sickness and death, children's education, and after a few years of hard labor, they can be allocated a piece of land of their own. What else can be demanding?

Of course, there are also many people who have doubts. Before they saw it with their own eyes, it was hard to believe that there was such a place in Ming Dynasty. The social system followed seemed completely different from the environment in which they lived in the past.

It is still difficult for them to judge whether it is good or bad to live in such a place, whether it is a life-saving straw or the beginning of another nightmare.

Since the speed of the Guangzhou ship itself is not very fast, and it is full of people, the "Lightning" has to slow down and wait for the Guangzhou ship to follow. If the "Lightning" were to perform the mission alone, it would take half a day.

It's enough time for it to run back and forth between Shengli Port and Yazhou, but with the speed of the ship now, I'm afraid it will have to wait until dark before it can arrive.

Slowly and hurriedly along the way, the fleet finally rounded Yulin Point before sunset and sailed into Victory Harbor. The sleepy immigrants in the cabin were woken up and told that they had arrived and packed their belongings.

Things were lined up on the deck to get off the ship.

When these immigrants got on the deck, the first thing they noticed was without exception the "New World" docked in the port. The side of this giant ship was slightly higher than the top of the mast of the Guangzhou ship, and it was as huge as a mountain.

The hull of the boat made all the immigrants who saw this scene dumbfounded and opened their mouths in astonishment. Although many of them had lived on the seaside for a short period of time, no one had ever thought that they could build a boat.

It was so huge. And beside this huge ship, there was a row of strange ships without masts and sails docked, each of which was bigger than the Guangzhou ship I was riding on.

Next to these strange ships, hundreds of people are working on the coast, carrying baskets of sand and gravel to a construction site that extends into the sea, filling the originally winding coast with a straight line, and this construction site runs east and west along the coast.

Stretching out, the area is as long as a hundred feet. People with sharp eyes have already seen the doorway. This is clearly a large dock being built. It seems that the boasts about the "Haihan Executive Committee" that I just heard on the ship are not the same.

It's not just made up casually.

At present, the main work of the hydropower station in the upper reaches of the Tiandu River is nearly completed. The remaining work is mainly to hoist the generator and conduct power generation debugging. The labor required is not too much, so the construction of the Victory Port Pier was finally put on the agenda by the Executive Committee.

Priority location. In terms of project volume, this terminal is larger than the hydropower station due to part of the reclamation process. However, the terrain here is open, making it easy to use various construction machinery, and the technical content is relatively low, so the construction time is actually higher than the project volume.

Smaller hydropower stations are faster. The Ministry of Construction estimates that one-third of the pier will be put into use by the end of this month, and will be basically completed next month.

Of course, due to current conditions, although the new wharf's solidity and docking tonnage greatly exceed that of the previous temporary floating wharf, piling and rock filling are still the main construction methods and require continuous repairs. The Ministry of Construction plans to wait

In the future, when the cement output can be guaranteed, the entire dock will have to be cement solidified and renovated again to reduce the workload of daily maintenance.

When the ship finally docked at the pier, the immigrants found a group of people running over in neat lines. With a whistle, these people stopped in unison, and then quickly formed a formation on the pier.

, forming a rectangular encirclement, and the opening of the encirclement was facing the trestle where the immigrants were about to land. These people wore colorful short-breasted jackets, leggings trousers, green short-brimmed hats, and held a diameter of

A round shield about one foot and two inches long, and a short black stick about a foot and a half long in his right hand. Although these people were not holding swords and guns in their hands, there was an invisible pressure emanating from their movements, causing everyone on the ship to

The immigrants were silent for a while.

This team that was transferred to maintain order on the pier are naturally naturalized soldiers who have been in the new barracks for some time. Of course, it is too early to call this group of people "soldiers". The military training they accepted

The training is far from reaching the military standards set by the Military and Police Department. At most, it is to perform the current tasks and act as a riot squad or patrol to maintain public security. The Executive Committee will use them as a basis to build local security institutions. And the other

A group of personnel with high overall quality continued to stay in the recruit camp to receive firearms training and some basic tactical training. Those were the real first batch of naturalized soldiers.

"Everyone lines up to disembark and sit down in our designated area to wait for arrangements. No loud noises are allowed and no walking around! Violators will be punished with hard labor for more than three days for disturbing public order..." The big horn on the dock suddenly rang.

The immigrants who were disembarking from the boat were frightened. Some people were looking around, wondering who could have such a loud voice that could make people's ears buzz from a distance.
