Chapter 482 Road to Promotion
As the general person in charge of many large-scale infrastructure projects under Haihan's rule, Liu Shanxia's responsibilities mean that he will not stay at this construction site for a long time. He will leave after all the facilities in the first phase of the project are successfully started. Here, rush back to Sanya to complete the final construction plan of Da Nang. As for local projects, except for a few professional and technical personnel from the Ministry of Construction, most of the supervision and command work on the construction sites has to be completed by naturalized cadres like Yu Dashan.
Yu Dashan himself is one of the first batch of senior naturalized citizens to be included in the establishment of the Ministry of Construction. He has also participated in many infrastructure projects with Liu Shanxia. After making the promise, he quickly responded: "Minister Liu, my humble father and son will definitely do their best to complete the port project here."
Liu Shanxia nodded and said: "After the port and terminal here are built, there will still be a large number of civil and commercial facilities to be built. By then, the base camp will be busy with the Changhua and Annan projects. I am afraid that the Ministry of Construction will not have any spare people to stay. This is the place. Yu Dashan, can you shoulder this responsibility?”
When Yu Dashan heard that this was going to put an extra burden on him, he didn't feel panicked because he had been called to have similar conversations by his immediate boss when he had been promoted several times before. Since Liu Shanxia asked the question in this way, Yu Dashan already knew how to answer.
"If Minister Liu can trust me, I am willing to try my best." Yu Dashan immediately clasped his fists and bowed, expressing his determination.
To obtain a formal promotion, of course, it is not enough to express your determination verbally in front of your boss. Liu Shanxia does not have the authority to independently appoint senior cadres. He can only recommend candidates to the personnel department. After the personnel department approves the review, the new appointment will take effect. If it is a key department or key position, such transfer and promotion matters must be discussed at a meeting of the Executive Committee Standing Committee. Therefore, although Liu Shanxia has expressed his attitude now, it is estimated that it will have to wait at least twenty or thirty days before the official appointment is made.
Yu Dashan is not in a hurry about this. His promotion speed in the past two and a half years has been fast enough. In the entire circle of naturalized citizens, only those who can equal him in administrative positions can only be counted on one's fingers. Only a limited number of people. As long as he can maintain this steady promotion rate, he will always have a place in the power class of naturalized people.
After talking about Yu Dashan, Liu Shanxia turned to Yu Xiaobao: "In January next year, that is, two months later, Fort Victory will hold a training class for young cadres. Teacher Ning asked me to ask you if you want to go back and learn something. ?”
"Okay, okay! Go, go, go!" Before Xiaobao could say anything, Yu Dashan responded hurriedly. But he immediately realized that he shouldn't lose his temper in front of his boss, and quickly shut up.
Yu Dashan spoke first, and Yu Xiaobao could not put forward any other opinions now, so he could only agree immediately. But what Liu Shanxia said next made both father and son feel happy.
"This training class for young cadres is directly supervised by the Executive Committee. The enrollment scope is only for naturalized cadres under the age of 25. The schooling lasts for three months. After completing your studies, your current positions will basically be adjusted. You are no longer newcomers. , you should understand what this adjustment means." Although Liu Shanxia's suggestion was not very clear, it was enough for the Yu family and his son to understand the implication.
In the promotion mechanism of the Haihan bureaucracy, intensive study and further training before promotion is a required step that almost everyone knows. As long as you are notified to participate in a certain study class or advanced training class, it basically indicates that you will get promotion opportunities in the future. The Yu family and his son are no strangers to this process, because they have participated in several training courses before. Liu Shanxia has already mentioned this, and the Yu family and his son naturally understand that he is sending a message to them on behalf of "their superiors" .
If he had not been in the Haihan system for more than two years, Yu Dashan would probably kneel down and thank the leaders for their kindness. However, after time and training, he and Yu Xiaobao have adapted to the Haihan system. Thanks - the two made a fist with their right hands and put it against their chests, and said in unison: "Serve the Executive Committee!"
Liu Shanxia was very satisfied with the skilled performance of his father and son, not only because they showed loyalty to the executive committee, but more importantly because Haihan's system has obviously been deeply rooted in their hearts. Roots have become part of their conditioned reflexes, and this is exactly the effect the Executive Committee hopes to achieve on naturalized people. Although there may only be a few senior cadres like the Yu family and his son who have such qualities at present, as long as time passes, there will definitely be a considerable number of people loyal to the new regime among the mass-produced new immigrants. In particular, new young people like Xiaobao who "grew up under the red flag" are a group that the Executive Committee pays special attention to, and the new positions prepared for Yu Xiaobao by relevant departments are somewhat related to this field. .
Since time travel, the brainwashing of immigrants, or "re-education work" in official terms, has been one of the important tasks of the civil affairs management department. However, this part of the work has not been significantly improved in more than two years, and the pertinence of the content is not very suitable for the current reality of the relatively complex composition of immigrants. Ning Qi of the Ministry of Civil Affairs put forward an opinion at the October executive meeting, which is to refine the target groups of re-education work, especially those who will play a fundamental role in the Haihan regime in the next ten or twenty years. Young and middle-aged people should develop a more effective thought control model.
Ning Qi believes that just relying on literacy classes, literary and artistic propaganda, and further education courses are far from enough to meet the requirements. These young people know more knowledge, so they may not choose to go to Haihan's side, but maybe they have watched too much. The ancient books of the Ming Dynasty were chosen as the "orthodox" ones. How to make these naturalized people of unknown nationality have a strong sense of belonging to their own group before Haihan establishes a formal political power. Ning Qi believes that this is the key to solving the problem.
As for how to solve this problem, there are actually many successful solutions to choose from in the world before time travel. A more common method is to establish political organizations of all ages, from school-age children to adults, throughout the entire education stage.
In fact, this method has been implemented in some departments for two years. When the military established the military base in Victory Port, it established a corresponding Scout camp to specifically accept orphans and children who are not talented enough to complete formal courses. , these Scout trainees will receive several years of militarized education in the camp. After reaching the age of sixteen, they will be assigned jobs and join violent agencies such as the police or militia. A small number of trainees with relatively outstanding conditions will also be assigned to work. It is possible to enter the Ministry of Security or even the security force directly under the Executive Committee and other special agencies. In the past two years, this kind of Scout camp set up by the military has begun to achieve initial results. Nearly a hundred young men and women have been assigned to various units after reaching the age of sixteen. After a long period of targeted training, the biggest characteristics of these personnel are their strong sense of belonging to Haihan and their high loyalty to the executive committee. They are quite a bit like the fearless young red generals in a special era. After these people enter the workplace, with a little guidance, they can become Haihan's loyal fans and take up various key positions.
The official political organization of Haihan for naturalized people after the age of 16 was still a blank field before. Although various units may have corresponding literacy training and other courses, there is no universal organization to organize people after the age of 16. The people of this section are united together. Therefore, Ning Qi made a suggestion to the Executive Committee, hoping to establish an official organization similar to the "Youth League" to recruit as many backbone forces as possible to build Haihan society, so as to achieve the rule of Haihan The foundation is solid.
Of course, to build such a large-scale official political organization, it is not possible to rely solely on cross-country people. The manpower problem alone cannot be solved. Therefore, a group of smart and capable naturalized citizens must be recruited from the beginning to build the organizational structure. At the same time, this group of People will probably become the spokesperson of this new organization accordingly, or even become a public figure.
To achieve these goals, it is obvious that there will be higher requirements for the quality of the candidates themselves. Not only must they be loyal to the executive committee, but they must also have certain working abilities, and they must not have any obvious bad deeds in all aspects. Coupled with the age requirement, this series of conditions is enough to eliminate more than 80% of the candidates. So a candidate with favorable conditions like Yu Xiaobao naturally surfaced - he was naturalized early, he was an apprentice brought out by Ning Qi and Schneider, he had no problems with political loyalty, and he had people in Guangzhou. With two years of practical work experience and his only blood relative being a senior naturalized civilian cadre, there doesn’t seem to be much to criticize in any aspect.
After the relevant motion was discussed and approved by the Executive Committee, Ning Qi added Yu Xiaobao to the list of future cadres of the Haihan Youth League with a stroke of his pen at Victory Fort. Of course, before that, Ning Qi had to hold classes to teach these young people how to use propaganda weapons to build this official organization that was still under planning, and then play a role in uniting the young naturalized people under Haihan's rule.
Of course Yu Xiaobao can't guess Ning Qi's long-term plans now, but these two reasons alone are enough for Yu Xiaobao to take advantage of the opportunity of further study to return to his hometown of Victory Harbor and meet his long-lost teachers and friends. Accepted this matter.
On November 5, 1629, after several days of silence, the Ming army in the north of Hong Kong Island finally lost their composure and sent an envoy on a civilian ship to the Xingang Pier under construction and asked to see the local person in charge.
At this time, Liu Shanxia had already left Hong Kong Island and returned to the base camp to report on his work. The person who temporarily took over the local comprehensive management affairs was You Yihan, the transportation director seconded from the Guangdong Office of the People's Republic of China.
Originally, You Yihan's establishment belonged to the Ministry of Shipping, and logically speaking, he should not be responsible for civil affairs and engineering construction matters. However, by mistake, several people in charge of civil affairs in the Guangdong Office in Guangdong Province were not very good at what they were doing, and the base camp was in an emergency period of tight human resources, and no one could be sent to Hong Kong. Therefore, You Yihan was pushed to the shelves and made a temporary guest appearance. Leadership role.
Hearing that representatives of the Ming army came to negotiate, You Yihan didn't know what to do for a while. He was indeed given temporary military and political power, but he lacked relevant experience in how to deal with the Ming Dynasty's military. However, Chen Yixin, who had just taken up the local post, went out on patrol with the ship again. He didn't know when he would come back, so this responsibility could only be placed in front of You Yihan.
Compared with the people in the military, You Yihan is not a radical person. He has been working in Guangzhou for a long time. He has almost always been immersed in his own work field and rarely takes the initiative to ask other people. Things that people are responsible for. If it hadn't been for the recent shortage of human resources, and the point was pointed at him, You Yihan would not have taken the initiative to apply to work here - it's not that he didn't want to strive for upward opportunities, but that the work in the shipping department was too heavy, and he simply couldn't No energy to manage more things.
At present, there are more than 100 cargo ships sent from the Pearl River Port outside Guangzhou to Sanya every month. If the statistics of the entire Pearl River Basin are included, then this number will at least double. In addition to the Pearl River Basin, the number of goods sent to Sanya every month in other coastal areas of Guangdong and Guangxi and further away in Fujian is not a small amount.
The responsibility of the transportation department that You Yihan is responsible for is to count the types and quantities of these goods, and if possible, send someone to verify them. For some goods and personnel that need to be transported by Haihan himself, You Yihan has to calculate the transportation cycle, loading capacity corresponding to the ship, etc., and then allocate ships to the Zhujiang Wharf, Panyu Lijiazhuang Wharf, and Wanshan Port for shipment - —Of course, a new terminal in Hong Kong will have to be added in the future.
For You Yihan, who only has a few naturalized civil servants under his command, the work task is extremely heavy. Although he still had various ambitions for career development when he went to the Guangdong Office, he soon found that he did not have too much energy to consider other issues. If he could complete his job well without making mistakes, he would Not bad. As for being appointed as a temporary local governor one day, and even having to deal with foreign military disputes, You Yihan really had never imagined in this direction before.
