Chapter 257 Executive Committee Work Report
The Executive Committee is not worried that these naturalized people will become a privileged class after getting better treatment due to their marriage relationship. In fact, there will be a privileged class in any country or society-the vast majority of people who have traveled through time and space have come to this time and space. This is also the purpose. The time-travel group spreads its branches in this time and space and continues the family line. It is only a matter of time before some of the naturalized people who marry the time-travel group will form a new privileged class. But the key is that the current population of the time-travel group in the Sanya area is less than 10,000. People, if there are dozens more privileged families of naturalized origin in a short period of time, the negative impact it will have on social stability is self-evident. Regarding this, the Executive Committee has not yet determined a final solution.
Compared to this kind of trouble, the Executive Committee would rather temporarily let the bachelors go to the brothel opened by "Fu Ruifeng" to solve the problem. At least it is convenient, quick and has few side effects. Even if something happens, it can guarantee the credibility of the Executive Committee. within the control range.
The executive committee's detailed planning and strict control in advance paid off on the opening day, and there were no large numbers of single travelers crowding the hall during the opening. This is because the executive committee consciously controls the issuance of brothel consumption coupons to prevent members whose hormones are overflowing from making uncivilized and irrational actions. The first batch of consumer groups approved by the Executive Committee are those with the most difficult jobs, such as prospectors who have been active in the field for a long time, military police stationed at various mountain posts, and those who spend more time at sea than on land. Sailors and more.
The executive committee's low-key handling also saved a lot of trouble for the opening of this business. Originally, the relevant departments were worried that the feminists led by Raisa would jump out to cause trouble again, but this time it was calm and there were no further complications. situation. Some people think that this has something to do with the fact that the executive committee specially transferred Gu Kai back from Black Earth Port - it is better for a young couple to be separated for a long time than to be newly married, so Raisa naturally does not have the time to care about external affairs.
The always troubled news department under the Ministry of Information Industry also kept silent this time and did not make in-depth reports on the opening of this business. Meng He had greeted the people in the Information Department in advance. This was a major event that would affect the stability and unity within the group. Anyone who wants to talk too much at this juncture should be careful about being sent to Black Earth Port as a foreign correspondent.
On December 27, people from all walks of life gathered together to summarize the construction progress in the past six months since the crossing and look forward to next year's development plan.
In addition to those time travelers stationed outside, there are many members even in the base camp who are unable to attend the meeting directly. Especially in Tiandu Industrial Zone, the technical backbone of each production unit is a time traveler. If these people leave their posts, then almost all Production must stop, and this is definitely a situation the executive committee does not want to see.
Early that morning, after various participants entered Base No. 1, the militiamen set up roadblocks outside the gate to deny entry to ordinary naturalized citizens and foreign merchants. In addition to safety considerations, this also ensures that the meeting process is not interrupted by other trivial matters.
Due to the large number of participants, the original conference room could not accommodate so many people, so the venue was moved to the small sports ground in the center of the base. Fortunately, the weather has been good recently, so this open-air meeting was able to go smoothly.
The meeting is still chaired by the Executive Committee headed by Tao Donglai. Although the nature of the Executive Committee is still a temporary management organization, the term of these executive committee members is one year, which means that it will not be until three months later. The first re-election will take place on the first anniversary of time travel.
Red tape is rare in internal meetings of the Cross Group, and bureaucracy has not had much impact on the ruling staff of this small group, so the meeting quickly got down to business from the beginning.
The first is the "Executive Committee Work Report" made by Tao Donglai on behalf of the Executive Committee. The content of this report covers all aspects of construction arrangements and actual progress after the crossing, especially industry and agriculture, immigration, military construction and maritime transportation. The causes, which members are most concerned about, are all introduced in detail in the report.
As of now, the actual population under the jurisdiction of the Crossing Group has exceeded 10,000 people. Among them, there are more than 4,500 naturalized residents in Shengli Port and more than 3,200 naturalized residents in Heitu Port. The rest of the population is under investigation. New immigrants, scattered migrant workers, personnel stationed by foreign merchants, and prisoners in labor camps. In terms of the proportion of naturalized people in the population, Black Tu Port is significantly higher than the base camp. This is because most of the people who go to Black Tu Port are homeless refugees and have no other choice but to join the naturalized population. There are a large number of local residents around the Sanya area, and the population composition is much more complicated than that of Heitu Port.
The current immigration introduction work of the Crossing Group has made great progress compared with the early stage. Not only has North Vietnam been found as a population import channel, but the number of immigrants recruited from the Ming Dynasty has also steadily increased. Especially after the establishment of the Guangdong Office in Guangdong, the recruitment of immigrants in the mainland has been highly targeted, mainly targeting various craftsmen and down-and-out scholars. The quality of immigrants recruited from Guangzhou is obviously much better than that of other immigrant import channels.
Looking at the current proportion of the naturalized population, there are both things to be gratified about and concerns about. Among the current naturalized citizens, the proportion of young adults between the ages of 18 and 40 has reached over 60%, which is significantly higher than any other country of the same era. The labor force accounts for a high proportion of the total population, which is one of the main reasons why various construction projects can be implemented quickly. However, similar to the population ratio of the crossing group, there is also a serious imbalance between men and women among the naturalized people. Currently, female naturalized people only account for 27% of the total population, and the proportion of marriageable single women is even pitifully low. For the Committee, this demographic situation is definitely a ticking time bomb that needs to be eliminated.
In addition, the education ratio of naturalized residents is also quite worrying. According to statistics from the Ministry of Civil Affairs, only 12% of the naturalized residents in the base camp have received elementary education. This includes students who have received literacy education in academies established by the Chuanchuan Group. However, the situation has been improving recently. The down-and-out scholars who have defected to the Time Travel Group have gradually begun to take over the most basic literacy teaching work, allowing the education department to concentrate the time traveler teachers into higher-level elite education.
In contrast, the situation of Ming immigrants was significantly better than that of North Vietnamese immigrants. The literacy rate of naturalized residents in the Black Togang area is now less than 5%, and the vast majority of the people are purely illiterate. This also makes it difficult for various civil affairs measures to gain public understanding and support during the implementation process. The "Report" also puts forward prospects for this, hoping that by the end of next year, the literacy rate of naturalized people can reach more than 20% - this rate is actually lower than the literacy rates of Liberia and Afghanistan in the 21st century. .
In fact, the low literacy rate of naturalized people does not represent the cultural level of this era. The average literacy rate of people in the prosperous areas of the Ming Dynasty is even above 30%, far exceeding the level under the rule of the Chuanchu Group. A large part of the reason for this situation is that the main source of naturalized people are poor people with extremely low education levels. For example, the Yulin Fishing Village was recruited to the company at the beginning of the landing. At that time, all the fishermen in the village were illiterate, and some of them could not read a basket of words. Not to mention the people from the Li and Miao Mountains who come from inland areas. Many of them cannot even speak Hainanese Mandarin well, and there is no literacy rate at all. Therefore, the Executive Committee has specifically put forward requirements in the recent immigration work to increase the cultural quality requirements for mainland immigrants. From a certain perspective, this is also a policy inclination made by the Executive Committee towards this ethnic group - uneducated North Vietnamese immigrants can basically only engage in the most basic manual labor after entering the naturalized citizen system. If they want to get ahead, they can only Join the army or wait for the second generation of naturalized citizens to receive education and grow up. Craftsmen or literati who moved from the Ming Dynasty to the area governed by the Executive Committee and have a certain level of education will have a higher starting point and more opportunities. Opportunity to become the backbone of the new society.
In terms of maritime transport, after struggling in the first half of the year, it has finally ushered in a wave of explosive growth in maritime transport capacity. The cargo ships ordered by Chuanchuan Group in the early stages of Qiongzhou Fucheng and Guangzhou have begun to enter the delivery period. In addition, it has been continuously acquiring second-hand large ships and hiring sailors and crews from various channels. Currently, it not only maintains ten large ships on the route from Victory Port to Heitu Port transportation capacity, and regular flights have been opened on the route from Port of Victory to Guangzhou. Four ships are divided into two flights to participate in the transportation of this route. They depart from the two ports on the first and fifteenth day of each month and sail opposite each other at certain times. To a certain extent, it has solved the material needs and immigration transportation problems of the Guangdong Office in Guangzhou.
In addition, the shipping assistance proposed by Chuan Chuan Group to Fujian Xu Xinsu Group in the previous arms trade has finally received a response. Fujian will provide ten 400-material sea-going ships to Chuan Chuan Group through "Furuifeng" for In exchange for the long-term arms supply from the Crossing Group. This batch of ships has now arrived in Hong Kong waters. "Furuifeng" will come forward to hand over, and then recruit a group of local sailors to drive these ships south to Victory Port.
Of course, ships acquired from outside are ultimately temporary expediency, and the main force in future shipping will still have to rely on its own shipbuilding capabilities. After a full month of sea trials, the "Discovery" passed dozens of ship performance tests and met the design requirements in terms of basic performance. Its sea navigation performance completely exceeded that of its competitors at the same time, and it was able to sail in a relatively simple way. It was transformed into an armed gunboat during wartime - of course, it would have to be equipped with enough gunners to fully exert its power. Although some technical problems were exposed during the trial flight, most of them were minor problems that could be solved through technical improvements. After the Ministry of Shipping made small modifications and improvements to the original design and construction plan, this type of sailboat was finalized and named "Exploration Class".
In the next six months, the Port of Victory Shipyard will complete the construction of six "Exploration-class" sailing ships. After these ships are launched, they will become the main transportation force of Port of Victory to ports in mainland China. The larger 500-ton sailboat is directly enlarged based on the "Exploration Class", and the design plan has been basically completed. It is expected that the keel will be laid at the Victory Port Shipyard by the end of January at the latest.
In addition, the Black Earth Port Shipyard was officially listed earlier this month. However, due to the gap in technical strength, Heitugang Shipyard does not have enough strength to directly start building "exploration-class" sailboats. Medium-sized ships with the same displacement as Yazhou Shuizhai Haicang Ship will become the starting point for their training. The Black Tu Port Management Committee will not put new ships into the route from Black Tu Port to Victory Port. The existing fleet can basically meet the freight and immigration transportation tasks between the two places. In the future, the destination of these new ships will be located in The Lianzhou Prefecture and Leizhou Prefecture areas to the north of Hainan Island - of course, the relevant trade policies still need Gu Kai to apply to the Executive Committee for approval at this year-end summary meeting.
In terms of agricultural production, all work can be described as "step by step". Compared with industry or shipbuilding, agriculture should be considered to have the lowest difficulties in achieving localization. The large amount of unclaimed land in Sanya saved a lot of trouble in the initial farmland reclamation. Later, the Chuanchuan Group integrated these lands into their own names for public ownership. In addition, the immigrants admitted in the early stage were almost all poor people, so they could only Making a living by being attached to a crossing group greatly reduces the possibility of land distribution disputes.
Regardless of whether it is food crops or cash crops, members of farm communes can only follow the unified arrangements of the Ministry of Agriculture. It goes without saying that large-scale production brings conveniences to field management and harvest period. Although there is a lack of additions of various chemical fertilizers, the harvest of food crops is much higher than the agricultural level of the same era. Coupled with the continuous supply of fruits, vegetables, and livestock, the local people's dietary structure and caloric intake level have been greatly improved. They are all much better than the areas under the Ming Dynasty. This is also the reason why many naturalized people are willing to stay in Shengli Port - they are doing the same work, and they can eat better and fuller here, and the food quality is much better than when they were long-term laborers in the landlord's house.
In terms of industrial production, productivity has improved significantly after fuel supply was guaranteed. At present, the main export commodities of Chuanchuan Group are various high value-added industrial products. Although the output is not high and there are not many varieties, the profits are very considerable. Once any new product is launched on the market, it will immediately become the target of various merchants. As of this month, the total export volume of industrial products has exceeded 400,000 circulating coupons, and the profit rate has exceeded 200%.
This highly profitable trade model has also effectively promoted the further development of industrial production. For this reason, almost all industrial product production workshops are carrying out construction projects to expand production scale. At the same time, hundreds of new naturalized citizens are recruited into the factory for training every month, and a group of full-time industrial workers have emerged in Tiandu Industrial Zone. And through industrial development, the people can gradually break away from the traditional feudal land dependence relationship. This is one of the policy policies that Chuanchuan Group has been implementing.
However, the proportion of the working class, or more accurately, industrial workers, among naturalized citizens is not high. It currently accounts for less than 15% of employed naturalized citizens, and is far lower than those in agriculture and those engaged in infrastructure construction. The number of naturalized people in the industry. It can also be seen from this that the number of industrial workers is also one of the shortcomings of the industrial development of the Chuanchuan Group, but the training period for industrial workers is relatively long, and even greatly exceeds the training period for militiamen - three months is enough to train people who can use it proficiently. Flintlock militiamen, but for training industrial workers in certain technical positions, three months is just the beginning.
This situation is directly related to the overall cultural level of naturalized people. The low literacy rate has greatly slowed down the training speed of industrial workers. Many technical positions have to be worked on the front line by time travellers. This is undoubtedly It is a huge waste of technical power, and it also indirectly affects the improvement of production efficiency.
The "Executive Committee Work Report" written by Tao Donglai did not mention much about the military aspect. This is because the Military and Police Department will also have a special work report later, which will discuss the military strength in detail. Development status and plans for the future period. Of course, each department has already written its own work report, but the Military and Police Department is a special case, because Qian Tiandun, who just rushed back to Victory Port yesterday, is said to have brought back the latest situation and trends in North Vietnam, which will be reported this time Participants will be informed publicly at the plenary session.
After Tao Donglai finished reading the report, he did not rush to give up his speaking position, but continued: "...Some people may think that the information we can obtain from this "Report" is too rough, but that doesn't matter. , each department will have a more detailed work report next. Every data we hear now is the result of everyone's hard work, and it is also the basis for our collective success in the future. I also hope that everyone will listen carefully to the work reports of various departments, because the achievements of these departments do not only represent themselves, but belong to everyone. Similarly, the problems and difficulties they face also need to be studied and solved by everyone. .”
Tao Donglai paused for a moment, looked around at everyone and said: "Many of the plans we made before and at the beginning of the time travel, according to the actual situation, most of them have been adjusted more or less, or even completely overturned or temporarily made. There are not a few cases where we have a problem. What I want to say is that it is worth being proud of each of us to be able to reach today's situation in this situation. ”
After a burst of applause, cheers and whistles, Tao Donglai signaled everyone to calm down, and then Bai Kesi, representing the Ministry of Industry, came on stage and began to give a more detailed work report.
