Chapter 1207 Interview
The personnel recruitment plan for the Nanhai Colony is about to enter the implementation stage. The personnel selected from various departments to go south are currently making final adjustments and implementation. The Police Department is expected to send several peace officers and nearly 200 police officers to the Nanhai area. The police can be considered one of the big players in the team going south. Sheriffs appointed to each colony must arrange a private interview before going south to confirm that their personal conditions are suitable for the next task. In addition, there are several administrative officials who are about to take up posts in the South China Sea. They also need to meet with the sheriff who is about to become their subordinate before departure to discuss their work arrangements.
Tan Juren is one of them. He came to the Police Department today to meet the candidate for the naturalized peace officer who will partner with him next. However, the situation introduced by Ren Liang made him a little uneasy because the background of this peace officer is actually somewhat... special.
"You're telling me that this man was imprisoned in a hard labor camp in Zhejiang and has only been in Sanya for two months. He hasn't even obtained a formal nationality yet, and you plan to send him to me as a peace officer?" Tan Juren shook his head and said: "This doesn't seem to be in line with our employment rules and regulations."
In principle, personnel appointed by Haihan state agencies must first obtain nationality. The Police Department should be very clear about this rule. Tan Juren believes that this is not Ren Liang's negligence, so he now needs a reasonable explanation.
"The incident in Zhejiang is a minor misunderstanding, but since we have captured him, we also want to make the best use of everything, make the best use of people's talents, and give full play to his personal abilities." Ren Liang paused and said, "He used to He is a head catcher from Hangzhou Prefecture, and his professional ability is quite good. So after he came back, he was not allowed to receive basic induction training and was directly put into the advanced training class. Judging from his performance during the training period and current internship. , he is qualified for the position of Sheriff. Two days ago, he single-handedly arrested two repeat thieves in the port area, and his skills are not bad. As for the nationality issue, it is just a piece of paper. I will write a note later. Go to the Ministry of Civil Affairs and settle this matter before departure.”
Tan Juren nodded and said: "So what you mean is that this person has the ability to stand alone, but is he politically reliable? This is a person who has worked as a clerk in the Hangzhou Yamen. Can you be sure that he has given up his past political stance and told us Allegiance?”
Ren Liang said: "Look, there are not a few Ming officials who have served our country. There are at least dozens of them holding positions in various departments. Many of them have been naturalized. Aren't they all used very well? What's more? This man is just a catcher, not even an official, and has no family to worry about in Hangzhou. We think his loyalty to Ming is relatively limited. We can also give him the conditions that Ming can give him, and we will give him. More is better, I believe he has realized this and knows what to do next.”
For Haihan, it is not an exception to appoint people who have served in the Ming government. In the early days, Luo Shengdong, Wei Ping, Li Qingyang and others were represented. Later, after occupying Qiongzhou Island, many people were chosen by officials from all over the island. In order to serve under Haihan, people such as Yan Mingjun, the governor of Danzhou, Li Jin, the general, and Xiao Yin, the commander-in-chief of Changhua, all changed their flags and camps during this period. As for the Police Department, there are more people with experience working in government offices. After all, with work experience, the training and adaptation period after appointment will be shorter, and the corresponding employment costs will also be reduced.
This is not completely without hidden dangers of political stance, but Haihan's measures to instill political ideas in the people are far from comparable to other countries. In addition, there is no direct conflict with the Ming Dynasty, so the vast majority of people join Haihan after joining the army. , your mind will be more stable and you won't feel too guilty because of the choices you make. Over time, after adapting and integrating into Haihan's social system, naturally there will be no more inappropriate thoughts.
At this time, Ren Liang's secretary came in and reported that Han Zhengshan had arrived to report. Ren Liang ordered his secretary to bring him in, then turned to Tan Juren and said: "Of course, the final decision is still in your hands. After all, this is the person prepared for you. If you feel it is not suitable, you can consider doing it again." Make personnel adjustments.”
Tan Juren said: "So you have prepared a backup candidate?"
"You are thinking too much. People who have only been here for two months are ready to be dispatched. Where are the backup candidates?" Ren Liang shook his head and said: "If you are not satisfied with this candidate, then you can serve as the Sheriff first, and then wait. The next batch of people have been trained!”
For such suggestions, Tan Juren could only respond with a blank stare. The fields he was familiar with were civil affairs and commerce, and his ability in public security could not be compared with professionals. Otherwise, there would be no need to appoint a naturalized peace officer to assist him. Of course, if it is really inappropriate, Tan Juren will not force himself to accept the arrangements of the Police Department. After all, there are troops stationed where he is going. Before that, the military was responsible for local security. No matter how much this situation continues, Just keep it going for a while.
Han Zhengshan was led into the office by his secretary. He raised his head and looked at the two people sitting in the room, and then quickly lowered his head. He had already met Ren Liang and knew that he was the head of the Haihan Police Department. All police officers in black uniforms were under his command. However, the man next to him looked unfamiliar, but judging from his attire and his relaxed sitting posture, he should be a leader-level figure.
Following the rules of the police force, Han Zhengshan saluted the two and announced his identity. Then he stood at the door obediently, waiting for Ren Liang's instructions.
"Han Zhengshan, this is Tan Juren, the head of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and your direct boss after you left Sanya. Please get closer to me." Ren Liang introduced the two of them with a smile.
Han Zhengshan quickly saluted Tan Juren again, knowing that his future might depend on the big boss in front of him.
Tan Juren nodded and said: "I heard that you used to be a head catcher in Hangzhou Prefecture, and you haven't been in Haihan for a long time. Can you tell me what you think of Haihan Kingdom now?"
To observe the political stance and psychological state of a new immigrant, Tan Juren believes that the most effective way is to ask questions directly without any disguise, without leaving time for the other party to think. Trick, he believed that he and Ren Liang should be able to easily see through this little trick with their eyesight.
Han Zhengshan naturally understood that this was a test question given to him by his superiors, and he responded in a deep voice: "I didn't volunteer voluntarily for my humble position, so when I first arrived in Haihan, I felt resentful and dissatisfied, but I knew that my strength was limited, so I couldn't do anything about it. Later, he was appreciated by the chief and sent to Sanya for training. After experiencing the prosperous times of the Han Dynasty, he was deeply moved. Now he has gained the trust of the chief and promoted the low-ranking officials to important tasks. He only needs to be loyal and loyal. committee in return.”
Tan Juren was noncommittal and continued to ask: "Then what do you think about the position appointed this time?" Han Zhengshan said: "Bizhi believes that the post of peace officer has the dual responsibilities of governance and stability. In the past, Beizhi was responsible for arresting people in the Yamen. He is not unfamiliar with this job, but the laws of the Haihan Kingdom are more detailed and comprehensive than those of the Ming Dynasty, and he is still getting familiar with the humble position. However, the specific situation of the area where he is taking office is not yet known, and it is difficult to make any specific plans for the time being. , I hope the chief will forgive me.”
Tan Juren Xindao is quite down-to-earth. If Han Zhengshan talks too much about this question in order to gain performance, his impression score will definitely be greatly reduced. Han Zhengshan's answer was quite satisfactory. He showed his background and mentioned his professional abilities without any trace. Although he was humble, he was confident and had a calm temper. This was a trait that Tan Juren admired more. He didn't want to get one for himself. The subordinates who are doing things in a fussy manner.
Tan Juren asked again: "Do you know that the living conditions in the place you are going to are not as good as Sanya?"
Han Zhengshan responded: "The chief is joking. People with humble positions have been in hard labor camps. How can they be picky about living conditions now."
For Han Zhengshan, the time spent in the hard labor camp was indeed the most difficult experience in his life. Even now, he often recalls the scene in his dreams, calling it an intractable psychological problem in his heart. The shadows aren’t too much either. Compared to those days, life is much better now, and he will soon regain power. This is a treatment that ordinary citizens of Haihan cannot enjoy.
The most important thing is that he will have the opportunity to work next to the "chief" who symbolizes the top of Haihan's power pyramid. Even his boss during the internship, Huang Tongyang, is very envious of this opportunity. To put it simply, this means that Han Zhengshan's social status as a prisoner released from a hard labor camp has suddenly become a high-level being second only to the "chief" in the power pyramid. Although his position may only be a low-level police officer, he can already touch the highest ceiling in this pyramid with his raised hand. His power and bright future are far beyond what he could compare to when he was the head catcher in Hangzhou.
Of course, these thoughts were the ones he had recently come to realize under the guidance of Huang Tongyang and others, intentionally or unintentionally, which made him completely give up his original idea of dawdling around. Haihan Kingdom was only officially established last year. Although Han Zhengshan did not catch up with the founding hero, he has now begun to work hard and may become a big figure in the Haihan bureaucracy in the future. The country is expanding at such a rapid rate that local sheriffs may be promoted to higher-ranking officials in a few years.
As for the possibility of going to a colony with difficult conditions for a period of time, what's the big deal? Han Zhengshan really didn't take this seriously. Even the pampered Haihan people could go there, so that place was not necessarily worse than the hard labor camp. Anyway, I can't go back to Ming Dynasty in the future, so I might as well take this opportunity to fight for my future.
The interview did not last long. Tan Juren only asked a few questions, while Ren Liang watched the whole process without intervening. It was not until he saw Tan Juren gently nodding to him to indicate that the interview was over that he turned to Han Zheng. Shan ordered: "You go back to work first and wait for notification of the specific arrangements. Here is a piece of information. Take it back and take a look at it first. If there is anything you don't understand, there are people in this information who can help you clear up your doubts. You can do it yourself. Go find answers.”
Han Zhengshan stepped forward to take the information with both hands, and then exited the office. Then he picked up the information and glanced at the cover, which had the words "South China Sea Immigration Guide" printed on it. Although Ren Liang didn't mention that this thing was confidential, Han Zhengshan immediately received it very carefully in his arms for fear of being seen by others.
This is of course not a secret file. It is just an immigration guide for the South China Sea region compiled by the Ministry of Civil Affairs. It mainly introduces the geographical overview of the South China Sea region, as well as the current locations of several major Haihan colonies in the South China Sea. The division of labor among the political, military, cultural, health, and commercial departments, etc. Of course, the most important part is the various suggestions for new immigrants who are about to go to the South China Sea, such as diet, clothing, disease prevention and control, local culture, etc. It is a popular science document. Considering that some immigrants may have extremely low educational levels and cannot understand large paragraphs of explanatory text, the guide also uses a large number of simple and easy-to-understand illustrations to explain.
This guide is not publicly available on the market, but immigrants who are about to go south will be gathered to study its contents, and there is no need to keep it secret. However, Han Zhengshan still felt like he had found a treasure. After he took it back to the police station, he didn't even show it to Huang Tongyang. He kept it close to him. He only took it out when he was alone, flipped through a few pages, read it over and over, and memorized all the contents in his mind.
About seven or eight days later, Han Zhengshan's transfer order finally came to the police station.
"Han Zhengshan, an intern police officer from Shengli Port Police Station, is hereby transferred. He will cease his internship with immediate effect. He will be appointed again. Han Zhengshan will report to the Personnel Office of the Police Department with his identity certificate within two days after receiving the notice..." Huang Tongyang put down the transfer order in his hand and raised his head. He said to Han Zhengshan: "Congratulations, you are about to get ahead. When you come back to Sanya in the future, remember to treat your colleagues in the office to a drink!"
"Absolutely, thank you, director, for taking care of me. When I return to Sanya one day, I will definitely invite you to have a drink!" Han Zhengshan immediately agreed. His internship period was so short that he was transferred before the next salary payment. Now he can't afford to pay for a treat, so he can only put it in his account first and wait until he has the chance to talk about it later.
"Next time we meet, the relationship between superior and subordinate will no longer be the same. This time you will go south with the chief to become a colonial peace officer. Your level will be the same as mine." Huang Tongyang said that he was also a little envious of Han Zhengshan's luck. In just a few months, Han had already reached an administrative level equal to his own.
"If the director works as an errand in the capital, he will definitely be promoted faster than his subordinates in external positions. The next time he comes back, the director will definitely have been promoted to the department." Han Zhengshan is also good at speaking words. A few words made Huang Tongyang smile and he no longer cared about the difference in speed of improvement.
