Chapter 151 Resettlement
In addition to brushing their bodies, the immigrants' hair is also required to be tied up in a bun and washed carefully. This is also one of the important areas for breeding various human parasites. For those who are willing to shave their heads, the executive committee also has additional rewards. As long as they shave their heads, they can get two hot meat buns immediately. Under the temptation of delicious food, a considerable number of immigrants who had suffered too much during their escape accepted this condition and exchanged their hair for delicious food.
Considering the possible resistance from the public, the Executive Committee currently does not enforce short hair in the area under its jurisdiction, and even many people in the militia still wear buns. However, some necessary soft means have begun to be slowly implemented. For example, if members want to be promoted from second-level workers to third-level workers, they must shave their long hair according to the requirements of the executive committee. The same goes for the militiamen in the army. From now on Any militiaman who wants to be promoted to the rank of sergeant must also check whether the soldier has shaved his head. Those with long hair will lose this valuable promotion opportunity.
The effect of this soft method is not particularly obvious at present, but there are still many people who want to have a good background under the rule of the Executive Committee and have the courage to shave off their original long hair. Without exception, such people will quickly receive the attention of the executive committee. Those who have shaved their heads among the militia will be promoted to squad leaders first, and those who have shaved their heads among senior workers will also be appointed as foremen immediately. As the old saying goes, what is good above will be bad below. This is a truth that has been tested by history. The Executive Committee believes that under the influence of these soft means, the social atmosphere of growing hair will slowly change.
The immigrants who washed their bodies were driven through a curtain by the militiamen and entered another large room, where medical staff conducted a simple examination of their bodies. On the one hand, this is to prevent the influx of various infectious diseases. On the other hand, it is also to prevent immigrants from bringing some "illegal" things into the immigrant residential areas through this method.
After passing this test, each new immigrant will receive two sets of Jibei cloth underwear, two sets of coarse cloth clothes and pants, and two pairs of straw sandals. Although this expenditure is not a small amount, the Executive Committee believes that unified clothing will help It helps new immigrants establish collective consciousness as soon as possible and integrate into this new living environment. For this reason, the executive committee specially approved a purchase fee for the civil affairs department, allowing them to purchase a large amount of cloth from the local Li and Yazhou places. Some women in the commune who were unable to engage in heavy physical labor also began to change their jobs and became tailors. Sewing and mending was originally a woman's specialty. They could also get a small processing fee for each set of clothes they made. For them, It can be considered a good living.
The new immigrants are placed in the "special observation area" of the port, where they will spend at least three days of observation. Firstly, it allows them to have a rest and recovery time after their long journey, and secondly, they also use it to observe Whether any of them have a special purpose.
The establishment of this "special observation area" was a suggestion He Xi made to the relevant departments when she went to Shengli Port to report on her work last time. He believes that when new immigrants arrive in Hong Kong, it is necessary to start mixing "sand" among the immigrants and send some reliable old immigrants to live among the new immigrants for a few days. This has two advantages. First, it can consciously guide some behaviors and thoughts of new immigrants. Second, it can detect some people with ulterior motives early, so that relevant departments can effectively nip problems in the bud.
After discussion, the Executive Committee adopted He Xi's suggestion and built four rows of barracks in the area north of the port area near the foot of the mountain, which could accommodate about 500 immigrants at a time. There is a wall built with logs around the barracks. All new immigrants will be restricted to activities within this wall in the first few days after landing. After the observation period is over, they will be assigned to the construction sites of various projects. During this period, they will move to labor dormitories near the construction site, and some of them who perform better will be eligible for the next batch of members.
Immigrants can get some rest time, but those who have just returned cannot get that much rest time. On the evening of the day we arrived at Victory Port, after a simple reception banquet, we attended a routine work report meeting.
In addition to the North American Six, the people who came back this time also included more than 30 indigenous sailors driving two sea training ships and two temporary captains affiliated with the Maritime Department. In addition, they also brought back 213 Vietnamese immigrants. Except for a few people who were severely seasick and in poor condition, the other immigrants arrived at Victory Port safely.
In accordance with the requirements of the Executive Committee, they also consciously selected when loading immigrants on the east coast of Vietnam, focusing on single women and war orphans. The reason why they are specifically asked to introduce single women is to balance the local population situation where there are more men than women. Due to the large number of infrastructure projects in the early stage, the executive committee initially selected young adults when introducing immigrants. Later, when communes were established, immigrants gradually began to be admitted in family units. In addition, there is an imbalance in the proportion of more men than women within the Time Travel Group, so the introduction of a large number of young women has become a necessary condition for maintaining social stability.
The war orphans are the foundation of future rule for the Time Travel Group. These helpless children will be raised by the Time Travel Group here. When they grow up here in a few years, they will no longer have any monarchical power in their minds. God-given or the idea of loyalty to the emperor and the country, loyalty to the executive committee will be their main life goal. Although this kind of investment would take up a lot of funds and the payback period would be extremely long, no one on the executive committee raised any objection or objection to it.
Everyone in the Executive Committee is very clear that the future time-traveling group will never be restricted to this island. When tens, hundreds or even tens of millions of people are brought under the rule of the Executive Committee in the future, they will need What is more important is a large number of grassroots managers who are loyal to the executive committee and the Haihan regime. The time-traveling generals will be the rulers of the Haihan Republic in the future, but these grassroots managers who grew up in this time and space are the real ruling foundation of this regime. The earlier you start cultivating your seeds, the greater your harvest will be. Among the more than 200 immigrants transported this time, there are more than 40 war orphans, accounting for a very high proportion. After the observation period, these children will be sent to the Scout Camp on the east side of the harbor to receive specialized education and skills training. Until they reach the age of sixteen, some of them will enter the grassroots level to serve as civil servants, while others will directly enter the recruit camp to receive militarized management, and then become members of the militia.
In his report, Tom Wang focused on the current situation of war refugees on the east coast of Vietnam, and urged the Executive Committee to increase transportation capacity as soon as possible to transport the population. It is impossible for these fleeing people to gather at the seaside without food supply for a long time. As time goes by, they will gradually flee to the inland food producing areas. Whether they sell themselves as slaves or occupy the mountains and become kings, they will then want to produce large quantities of food. Recruiting immigrants was not as easy as it is now.
In addition, Wang Tom explained in detail the infrastructure development situation of the colonization team in Black Earth Port and the response measures after heavy rains. Regarding the post-disaster reconstruction of Heitu Port, Wang Tom is not very optimistic: "When we left, there were already many sick cases. To be honest, I am not sure whether they can control the spread of influenza. The local area lacks medicines and disinfection methods. This will be a great test for our medical staff.”
Tao Donglai comforted: "We contacted Heitu Port last night. The situation there sounds relatively stable. The number of patients has not expanded further, and the weather has begun to improve. All reconstruction work is proceeding smoothly. . In addition, the people from the Shipping Department drove the "Lightning" to Black Tu Port. If everything goes well, they should have arrived at Fushuizhou Island by now. They will arrive at Black Tu Port tomorrow at the latest. They will send some supplies and medicines that Black Tu Port urgently needs. .”
"There is one more thing I want to say." Wang Tom has not forgotten the development plan of the Black Tu Port Management Committee. Gu Kai and others specially compiled a written report and entrusted Wang Tom to take it back to Victory Port and report it to the Executive Committee. Report in person.
"The Black Earth Port Management Committee has some ideas about the local industrial system. I think this is worth studying." Wang Tom took out the folder from his backpack and began to read out the plan: "In order to achieve efficient utilization of coal resources, In order to improve the energy strategic development plan of the Executive Committee and promote the smooth operation of the internal settlement system in the financial field, the Black Earth Port Management Committee has formulated the following development plan after democratic consultation and extensive listening to the opinions of professionals..."

This plan is not long, but the content is very detailed. It took Tom Wang more than ten minutes to read the entire plan. Finally, he added: "I personally think that the plan of the Black Tu Port Management Committee has a relatively high level of It is feasible, but this will definitely require more technical support from the base camp. After all, the chemical equipment they need cannot be manufactured locally.”
"Equipment comes second. To engage in chemical production locally, a large number of professional and technical personnel will definitely be needed. How to support this?" Ning Qi sensitively thought of the issue of human resources: "The three-acid-two-alkali project here has just begun. There are still a lot of chemical projects to be carried out, and the end may not be seen if we work for another three to five or seven years. How can we find a technical team to station at Heitu Port? "
"The coal chemical industry that Heitu Port wants to develop are all superficial entry-level projects, and they don't necessarily require many technical personnel." Chemical expert Qiao Zhiya interjected and expressed his opinion: "The main projects they plan to build are still coal tar and asphalt, and the technical content is Not even high. To further extract naphthalene, benzene, and phenol from coal tar, there is no way to complete these relatively delicate processes locally. We still have to transport them back to the base camp.”
