Chapter 980 Everyone gets his own place

Among the many problems that Haihan will face when establishing a country, external pressure is not the biggest trouble. What needs to be solved more urgently are the parts that need to be improved in the internal social system and management institutions. For example, bureaucrats with certain management experience are very important to Haihan.

One of the scarce resources.

Although the time travelers have many skills that transcend the times, to govern a country, it is not enough to rely on a team of several hundred people. A large number of grassroots management positions require people who are loyal to Haihan and have professional capabilities, and Haihan

It has only been seven years since its establishment, and its accumulation in this area is still very limited. It may be barely enough to build a grassroots team to manage Hainan Island, but in terms of the executive committee's vision for the future construction of Haihan, the existing naturalized

The average quality of national cadres is still far from meeting the requirements.

Haihan did not have any foundation in the Far East in this era, so for the sake of stable rule, loyalty and personal background were often given priority when appointing cadres. Although this helped Haihan to a certain extent in his rapid development

While expanding, the government maintained stable rule. However, because the cadres and officials selected through this employment strategy often came from poor backgrounds, their professional qualities in serving as officials were actually far inferior to Ming officials who had a certain cultural foundation and received specialized training.

During the years when Haihan ruled Hainan Island, dozens of officials from the Ming Dynasty successively surrendered to Haihan. Many of them, like Luo Shengdong, Li Jin, and Li Qingyang, completely surrendered to Haihan and were appointed by the Executive Committee.

personnel. However, to be able to switch from the Ming Dynasty officialdom to the Haihan bureaucracy, this process is not something everyone can do. They must either have outstanding abilities or hand over a weighty certificate of nomination.

Figures like Yan Mingjun are lackluster in these two fields, and his attitude in the Danzhou assassination case was too ambiguous, so he has never been able to get the opportunity to become an official in Haihan. If it hadn't been for Haihan's decision

As the country will be established this year, the demand for officials will also increase greatly, so Yan Mingjun will probably have to continue his idle position as "Advisor to the Danzhou Federation of Literary and Art Circles" for a few more years.

Of course, there are many people like Yan Mingjun who want to take advantage of the opportunity of the founding of Haihan to seek some benefits for themselves. Even if they cannot become officials, they will still seek fame and fortune. Today I am accompanying you at Nanhai Restaurant

None of the gentry and elders in these places simply come to join in the fun.

The second gentleman who came up to toast was named Huang Zijie. Although his name was similar to Huang Zixing, the main criminal in the Danzhou assassination case a few years ago, the two people actually had no relationship. Huang Zijie was originally a local landlord in Danzhou, and Haihan took over.

After that, he assessed the situation and joined the camp of the new ruler in time. When Haihan first carried out land reform in Danzhou to promote collective farm plantations, Huang Zijie took the initiative to step forward and became the first batch of collaborators.

More than a thousand acres of cultivated land has signed a ten-year cooperation contract with the Haihan Ministry of Agriculture.

Considering the environment in Danzhou at that time, the courage to risk most of one's wealth on one's future was extremely valuable. Haihan's land reform policy was able to open up a new situation in Danzhou, and Huang Zijie was considered one of the heroes. Of course, the rewards he received in the future were

Not a few. In addition to being a plantation demonstration site in Danzhou and receiving careful technical guidance from the Ministry of Agriculture, Huang Zijie has also become one of the local pacesetters set by Haihan officials and has been given special care in various fields.

.

After Haihan ruled Danzhou, Huang Zijie went to Sanya several times under Haihan's inspection arrangements. He had a clear understanding of Haihan's strength. Later, he not only sent his two sons to Sanya for further study, but also even naturalized the whole family.

He became a Haihan man through and through. Huang Zijie thought clearly. With his background as a landowner, if he wanted to directly take the Haihan imperial examination and become an official in the court, the possibility was obviously close to zero. It was better to pass the identity threshold now.

, paving the way for his two sons. After they have been in Haihan Academy for a few years, their chances of obtaining official status will be much greater than now.

Letting future generations shine by becoming officials is probably the most practical way that the landlord class can think of to change their destiny. However, Huang Zijie did not put all his hopes in his son's further education and establish and maintain some relationships with the upper class of Haihan.

The relationship between people may play a more effective role at critical times, but you cannot expect your two underage sons to do these things, and they can only be done by him personally. There is usually no shortage of people on Zhang Xin's side.

To increase his sense of presence, he also knew that Zhang Xin was only in charge of Danzhou, but Zhang Xin could not decide on the appointment and dismissal of officials in the Haihan system, so this time when he heard that a big shot from above came to inspect Danzhou, Huang Zijie was also the first to do so.

So I signed up with Zhang Xin.

"Huang Zijie, a commoner, has met Chief Ning!" Huang Zijie's hand holding the wine glass was shaking a little. This is the most famous person he has seen so far. Even Yan Zhizhou was respectful when he came up to toast just now, so he was even more nervous when it was his turn.

.

Ning Qi was very polite. Instead of clinking glasses, he took the initiative and said, "On the carriage just now, Director Zhang gave you a general introduction. I heard that both of your sons are currently studying in Sanya?"

Huang Zijie quickly responded: "Yes, yes, yes, Quanzi is stupid and can't learn anything in Danzhou. Hearing that the academy run by the leaders had special teaching methods, he sent them both there. The common people also followed.

They said hello, if you can't complete your studies, don't go back to Danzhou in the future!"

Ning Qi smiled and said: "I have some impressions of your two young masters. If I remember correctly, the eldest one will graduate next year, right?"

Huang Zijie responded: "The chief has a good memory. My eldest son is indeed graduating next year, but with his qualifications, I don't know whether he can successfully graduate."

Ning Qi said: "I have met your boss several times. He is young and mature, and he is quite stable in dealing with people. If he is willing, he can stay in Sanya after graduating next year. We are very happy to have young talents like this

Given a chance.”

Huang Zijie was overjoyed at the moment. This was an official statement. One sentence was better than the year he spent in Danzhou. Although he didn't know what "package distribution" meant, he also understood that with Ning Qi's instructions, his boss's employment after graduation would be

The problem has basically been solved. And Ning Qi asked him to stay in Sanya, which probably means that the chance of entering the bureaucracy is quite high.

"Why don't you thank Chief Ning for taking care of you?" Zhang Xin reminded him with a smile: "I have to toast you three times in a row for this!"

"That's right, that's right, the common people have nothing to repay, so I can only toast the chief three glasses to express my gratitude!" Huang Zijie immediately took the wine bottle and poured himself three glasses. Of course, he would not ask Ning out of curiosity.

Saki also offered three glasses of wine. This toast was just a way of saying thank you.

After Huang Zijie went down, several people came up in turn to toast. Some of these people wanted to find an official opportunity like Yan Mingjun, some wanted to pave the way for their family like Huang Zijie, and some wanted to get a business breakthrough from Ning Qi.

, various purposes. As for whether these people's requests can be approved by Ning Qi, in fact, they had already heard Zhang Xin's briefing on the way into the city, and they just expressed the official attitude at the banquet. Some things were originally

It was within the scope of Zhang Xin's authority, but he also specifically waited for Ning Qi's arrival before making the decision, mainly to demonstrate the authority of these decisions.

Different from the previous stops, at the reception banquet in Danzhou City, Ning Qi was the real protagonist, and almost all the guests at the banquet came for him. Fan Dimen, who had been being targeted at the previous stops, was

, here he finally got the opportunity to enjoy the food quietly. Although he couldn't quite understand the conversation between Ning Qi and these local people, he could roughly understand Ning Qi's way of dealing with it, because similar social banquets were held in

Batavia will also be held from time to time, where the upper class will communicate face to face and express their opinions on some matters that are inconvenient to deal with publicly.

Although there are obvious differences in the social forms and cultural traditions of the two sides, the ways of dealing with problems are similar. Fan Diemen, who is also a senior manager, felt quite the same when he saw Ningqi dealing with these local powerful people.

The reception banquet took about two hours, but Ning Qi spent more than half of the time dealing with these local people's representatives and solving their various needs. For these middle- and upper-class people who are willing to take refuge and rely on Haihan, the Executive Committee

His attitude is still relatively relaxed, and he is willing to give them some super-standard treatment in order to make these people serve Haihan even more wholeheartedly.

For these parties, the founding of Haihan is imminent, and there are countless things that need to be dealt with. The things they talked about during the meeting may not be realized in the near future. But being able to get Ning Qi's face-to-face statement is a great success.

This is already a very satisfactory result. After all, Ning Qi represents the Executive Committee of Haihan's highest authority, and what he said is basically as good as his words.

After the reception banquet that day, Ning Qi and Fan Dimen were sent to stay at the Guest House in the city. The Guest House in Danzhou was renovated from a Sanjin house bought in the city, and was also built by the official

For operation, all internal facilities and appliances are arranged in accordance with the industry standards set by Haihan itself. The shape is no different from the guest house in Sanya. In the third courtyard, there are three suites specially designed for travelers to live in. Ning

Saki and Van Diemen each occupy their own place.

The next day, Zhang Xin arranged for Ning Qi and Fan Diemen to visit Danzhou. If we want to make a horizontal comparison with other areas under Haihan rule, the situation in Danzhou is actually similar. The maritime trade system based on the port is the local

The most important business form, and the content of the business projects is mainly agricultural and forestry products based on plantations.

However, because Danzhou has been established for a long time, the degree of local cultivated land development is far greater than that of the stations previously investigated by Van Diemen. As is the common situation in this era, most of Danzhou's cultivated land is concentrated in a small number of landowners.

When Haihan implemented the land reform policy in Danzhou, he also encountered relatively great pressure. So far, the cultivated land in some areas is still managed by the landlords themselves, unwilling to accept the unified arrangements of the Ministry of Agriculture of Haihan.

Of course, there are also many far-sighted people like Huang Zijie, who have seen clearly that Haihan's momentum is irreversible, and have decisively invested their wealth in exchange for a bright future. Currently, of the total 74 plantation projects in the Danzhou area, more than three

Two-thirds of the land is provided by local people. This feature is significantly different from the plantation management background in other places. In the Danzhou area, due to its flat terrain and abundant water conservancy resources, rice has become the most important local farming project. At present,

It is already one of the most important grain-producing areas under Haihan rule.

When Van Diemen arrived, the rice fields here were in the sowing season. The rice fields outside the city were as far as the eye could see. Thousands of people were planting rice seedlings during the period before the Qingming Festival. Such a labor scene

It was also a new experience for Van Diemen. There were also Han people cultivating rice fields outside Batavia, but the scale was far inferior to that of Danzhou.

Zhang Xin introduced: "The area we are seeing now is a planting area where the Ministry of Agriculture provides unified technical guidance. The rice seedlings planted here are also bred and propagated by the Ministry of Agriculture. Mr. Zhu came here specifically last year.

The state has provided technical guidance.”

The "Mr. Zhu" mentioned by Zhang Xin is Zhu Ping, the wife of Yuan Ruoxiu, an old expert from the Ministry of Agriculture. The three members of the Yuan family plus an apprentice, Gao Huan, are all experts in agriculture, but only Zhu Ping specializes in food crops. In recent years, Yuan Ruoxiu,

As Zhu Ping and his wife got older, they could no longer withstand the fatigue of traveling and traveling, so they went out less and less to provide guidance. The Ministry of Agriculture was basically taken over by young people such as Yuan Qiuye and Gao Huan.

Ning Qi asked with interest: "Since the Ministry of Agriculture provides rice seedlings, then the harvest here should be better than the rice grown locally, right?"

Zhang Xin nodded and said: "That's for sure. The yield alone is more than 30% higher than the local average. Moreover, the Ministry of Agriculture also has special guidance on planting technology. For example, the measures to strengthen the seedlings in the seedling raising stage are not something ordinary farmers can master on their own.

technology."

The agricultural technologies promoted by Haihan in the areas under his control are relatively mature technologies, and the results after application are obvious. The resulting differences in grain output have also attracted more and more local landowners to join the Ministry of Agriculture's cooperative farming.

It's all in the plan. After all, the benefits are tangible and visible, so there's no need to risk your own money to go against Haihan.

Of course, such agricultural technical support is not provided in vain. Landowners must sell a proportion of their harvested grain to Haihan officials at a lower purchase price every year and pay a certain amount of land tax. However, if it is different from the previous payment to Daming

Comparing the situation after taxation, cooperation with Haihan is more affordable, and there is still an improvement in actual income.
