Chapter 1203 Development Outline
As early as the Zhoushan hard labor camp, Han Zhengshan had heard prisoners assigned to the south mention some strange place names, which were said to be thousands of miles south. He has never left Zhejiang in his life, and it is difficult to imagine what a distance of thousands of miles is. It was not until he was transported to Sanya as an immigrant that he had a concrete concept of this distance along the way. But after arriving in Sanya, it was hard for him to imagine how much unknown areas there would be further south, and how Haihan could take root in places that were not traditionally ruled by the Han people. The words "south of the south" are simple to say, but for Han Zhengshan, they represent a future full of uncertainty.
Seeing that he didn't respond, Fu Li thought that he might still have concerns, so he immediately continued: "Although Sanya is good, not everyone can stay here, and even if they stay, there may not be good development. Opportunity. If you want to stay in Sanya, you can only start from the lowest level as an ordinary patrol officer. If you still want to go up, you'd better accept the arrangement and go to a place with difficult conditions. Work hard for several years.”
Han Zhengshan came back to his senses and hurriedly bowed and responded: "Han is a sinner, so he is not qualified to be picky. He is grateful to be appreciated by the chief. No matter where he is assigned, Han should do his best. And to serve the Executive Committee!”
Although he said it beautifully, Han Zhengshan was still a little confused when he left Fu Li's office. From the tone of Fu Li's words just now, it seems that the place he will be assigned to is not a prosperous city like Sanya, and the living conditions may not be very good. I am afraid that he will live a hard life for a while in the future.
After Han Zhengshan left, Fu Li took out a document from his desk drawer, wrote Han Zhengshan's name on it, then called his secretary in and asked him to send the document to the Police Department.
Soon after, this document was delivered to the desk of the Director of the Police Department, Ren Liang. The content was a proposal for the personnel allocation of this police training class. After completing the training course, trainees in the advanced training class will basically be promoted from ordinary police officers to higher positions, so the opinions of Fu Li, a part-time instructor, on the allocation of trainees are particularly important.
Fu Li has been studying under Ren Liang for several years. Ren Liang was very confident in his ability and loyalty. After looking at it briefly, he signed it and filed it in the document that will be submitted to the Executive Committee for approval. . For the appointment of this kind of grassroots management personnel, after each competent department submits the candidates, the executive committee will generally not find faults, and if nothing unexpected happens, it is basically a done deal.
Two days later, the executive committee executive meeting successfully approved the "1635 Police Department Personnel Appointment List", and among the documents that were approved at the same time, there was also a large plan book "1635 South China Sea Colonization Plan Outline" 》. In this "Outline", Haihan's general development plan for the area south of Hainan Island this year is mentioned, including infrastructure, colonization, trade, intelligence, military, production and many other fields. In the colonization column, it is also Mentioned the population size and occupational composition that will be transported to various colonial points in the South China Sea this year. Prior to this, some related work has entered the preparation stage in advance. Once the plan is approved, it will be implemented in the near future.
Since Haihan organized the South China Sea countries to establish a trade alliance in 1633, they have temporarily stopped expanding outward and building colonies. This was not because the Haihan Executive Committee had stopped its ambition to expand its territory, but because Haihan's own situation at that time was unable to support a larger and more dispersed empire.
When envoys from various countries signed the trade alliance agreement on Ampurna Island in the South China Sea, Haihan's territory extended from Bangka-Belitung Island in the south to Hangzhou Bay in the north. The distance between the north and south ends was more than 4,000 kilometers, which was even far beyond the same territory. Time spans the north and south ends of the Ming Dynasty territory. Moreover, Haihan’s expansion strategy has always been based on leapfrog tactics. The actual control areas are mostly seaside harbors or islands in key areas of the South China Sea. Transportation, trade, cultural exchanges, and military mobilization with the mainland of Hainan Island are relatively small. The mainland area is even more inconvenient, which also makes Haihan's ruling areas in the South China Sea face the dilemma of poor government orders and slow development.
In order to introduce people and expand trade routes, Haihan began to focus its development on the north in 1634. The entire country's resources were tilted towards the north, and the southern colonies inevitably entered a period of maintaining the status quo and developing slowly. Rhythm. It was not until Haihan's base in Shandong had established a foothold and was able to protect itself and operate normally that the Executive Committee decided to put the development of the southern colonies back on the agenda.
Based on the current situation of the colonies in the South China Sea, if they want to speed up their development, they must invest more resources in the local areas, especially the population from the Ming Dynasty. Haihan is a Han government, and the proportion of Han people is one of the necessary conditions for political stability in the colony, so population migration has become an important part of this development plan. This includes not only ordinary immigrants who serve as the basic labor force, but also many technical and management personnel who have to go south with them to take root in the new environment. For example, the Ministry of Justice had to select a number of subordinates to go to the colonies to serve as judges and peace officers, and to establish a formal and complete judicial system in the new colonies.
Although the country of Haihan appears to be powerful in the eyes of outsiders, it is still an extremely difficult task to carry out such large-scale mobilization of population and materials. You must know that this is not just one colony like Shandong. In the Nanhai area south of Sanya, Haihan has seven or eight strongholds and colonies. Supportive development must be carried out in these places at the same time. It is also a big test for the executive committee and relevant departments.
Fortunately, Haihan already has certain infrastructure and personnel stationed in these places. It does not mean starting from scratch, but it can save military troubles. Moreover, since the establishment of the South China Sea Trade Alliance, there has been no obvious crisis in Haihan's security in the South China Sea. Even the Dutch, who had fought with Haihan for several rounds in the past, have lost their temper in the past year. Of course, their low-key performance may still be related to the fact that they have not yet recovered their strength after being defeated by the Malayan army in the Battle of Batavia in 1632. Otherwise, given the nature of the Dutch, they probably would not have swallowed the sea so hard. The bitter fruit of Han reward.
Although the selection and appointment of lower-level managers must be reviewed and approved by the executive committee, in fact it is just a process. The candidates that senior management really needs to decide through discussions are still only for a few important positions, such as those assigned to various places. Chief Civil Affairs Officer.
In the early days, various colonies in the South China Sea established a management system in the form of military control. Civil affairs were also fully managed by the military. After the situation stabilized, civil affairs officials were gradually sent to the local areas to hand over local government affairs to the military. To this day, there are still a few colonies in the South China Sea that are seized by the military and have not established an independent civil administration system. The Executive Committee hopes to use this wave of plans to consolidate the South China Sea colonies and establish civil administration systems in each colony so that the garrison can return to its normal position. The civil affairs and trade fields will be managed by the military. Shun.
"Does your military have any other opinions on the candidates?" Ning Qi raised the information in his hand and asked Yan Chujie. Yan Chujie responded: "I am definitely at ease with the people you and Schneider selected. If I have any worries, it is probably about work experience. After all, almost all the people sent out this time have been staying in Sanya. I don’t know if I can adapt to a position that requires me to be independent after being released this time.”
The officials who will be sent to the colonies to take over civil affairs this time are all time travellers, but a group of people who are more experienced in governing local areas currently have stable positions. If you want to transfer these people, it will inevitably affect the whole body. For example, Zhou Hengxing of Sanya, Zhang Xin of Danzhou, Qiu Yuan of Haikou, Qiao Zhiya of Changhua, Ma Like of Guangdong, You Yihan of Hong Kong, etc. find it difficult to find suitable candidates to fill their seats in a short period of time. Therefore, after Ning Qi listed the candidates, he had no choice but to cross out these experienced local officials one by one and choose the next best person.
It is now the eighth year since the Time Travel Group came to this time and space. Among the more than 400 people who landed in Yulin Bay, there are still many people who have not left Sanya or Hainan Island in these eight years. Naturally, some of them do not have much personal ambition at all. They are satisfied with being a local emperor in Sanya, enjoying freedom and a life without worries about food and clothing. There are also some people who, due to their job positions, can only use Hainan Island as their base before cultivating qualified successors, and cannot go to places too far away. For example, people like Menghe who are engaged in the IT industry, after time travel The technicians responsible for maintaining the large database of Fort Victory cannot leave Sanya for a day and can only guard here.
There are also some people who have not gone out. It can only be said that it is because their luck has not come. After missing several big expatriate opportunities, they can only stay in local jobs. There are many people in this situation among the time traveling group, and Tan Juren is one of them.
Tan Juren is from Guangdong and one of the first people to report to Guangzhou during the preparation period for the time-travel operation. However, because he was only in his early twenties at the time and had no particularly outstanding personal skills, he was not immediately entrusted with important tasks by the executive committee after traveling through time. Instead, he was left in Victory Port to work in the civil affairs and commerce departments. Work part-time. Due to a strange combination of circumstances, he lost several early overseas assignment opportunities, so Tan Juren has stayed in Sanya to play for him.
Of course, although the opportunity to seize the top position in the early stage was lost, staying in Sanya is not necessarily a bad thing. In addition to the great conveniences that can be enjoyed everywhere in life, here you can have more convenient access to senior management. The control of this political trend will be much clearer than officials in other places. After eight years, Tan Juren's work qualifications have been almost polished, and what he lacks is an opportunity to prove his ability.
If people want to prove their ability and obtain greater power and room for advancement, there are two most effective ways. One is to become the leader of a certain department or a unique figure in the technical field, and Tan Juren's situation is obviously not very good. In line with this route, he could only choose the second path, which was to be sent to a place outside Sanya to serve as a local official.
However, although Haihan's territory is large, the position of the local administrative leader is relatively limited. If Hainan Island is not counted, then there are only about 20 places in overseas colonies plus the office in Daming. And these places either have people occupying seats for a long time, or they are under military control and there are no seats at all, so this second road is not always accessible.
Tan Juren has been working at Fort Victory for a long time and has seen a lot about promotions and transfers within the Chuanchuan Army. He also knows very well that his upward path still lacks the ladder of "ruling place" to continue to move up. However, this kind of opportunity is rare. He could only wait patiently for the opportunity to appear. It was not until the end of last year that senior executives of the Executive Committee began to re-discuss the development of the South China Sea colonies. When Tan Juren heard the news, he knew that the opportunity he had been waiting for for a long time was finally coming.
Among Haihan's many colonies in the South China Sea, several places are still under the management of the military, but sooner or later these places will have to separate military and political affairs and return local affairs to administrative units for management. According to Haihan's consistent operating principles, the administrative head of the overseas colonies must be a time traveler. In the past, the garrison commander held the concurrent position, but in the future this position will be handed over to new people.
Haihan's selection of expatriate personnel is based on the dual operation mode of active registration and assignment by the executive committee. Tan Juren knows that he is a man of few words and his personal influence is limited. It is unrealistic to expect the executive committee to directly assign him to serve as an expatriate. , so he chose to sign up actively and first ensure that he was qualified to enter the selection list.
This time Tan Juren did not miss the opportunity like before. Soon Ning Qi had a private conversation with him to confirm his determination and allocation intention. Tan Juren knew that the opportunity was rare, so he took the initiative to perform his duties in the most difficult and remote places. This is also the fastest way for officials who are sent abroad to improve their qualifications and merits. After two or three years, they may be able to receive greater promotions. Tan Juren is in his prime, and he can afford to wait for this time. As long as he performs well, he may not have the opportunity to serve in ministries or even higher authority agencies in the future.
After comprehensively considering the candidate's personal situation and the actual needs of the colony, Tan Juren finally got his wish and was included in the list of officials heading south this time. When spring comes and all preparations are in place, he will go south with the fleet and head to a place in the South China Sea to serve as chief administrative officer.
Tan Juren was overjoyed after receiving the notice, but before the executive committee officially announced the list of candidates, he still had to keep a low profile to avoid unnecessary complications.
