Chapter 1376 Work Handover
Compared with the current development status of Haihan mainland, the construction level of Zhifu Island and Fushan County is still relatively backward. It can only be regarded as a level where hundreds of industries are waiting to be developed. Many functions are managed by the military. We have to wait for this Only after the first batch of cadres arrived in Shandong did the handover work gradually begin. In other words, the local civil affairs management is still in a state of tension. This group of cadres who went north to aid construction have to take over the work from the military, and the affairs they have to deal with are also very complicated, which is not what Liu Shang imagined. It's so easy.
After giving a brief but enthusiastic speech, Morgan asked his subordinates to arrange for the cadres to go to the station to settle down. They don't have to handle their luggage themselves. The military has arranged several vehicles in advance to transport it.
Although there are many infrastructure projects underway in the local area and the labor force is stretched thin, the military still thoughtfully built temporary residences on Zhifu Island in advance for this group of cadres to live. The living environment here is naturally not as good as that in Hainan Island. Even the cadres can only live in a very ordinary tiled house, with two people per room. The furnishings in the house are also very simple. Tables, chairs, beds and cabinets are all made of Log furniture made from locally harvested wood.
Liu Shang had a pleasant chat with Su Yu along the way, and they had already agreed to live together when they arrived in Shandong, so the two took the initiative to apply and move their luggage into the same room. The room was obviously much warmer than outside. After Liu Shang checked it, he found that the heat source came from one of the walls. There was no coolness to the touch, but a warm feeling. It seemed that it was caused by the flow of heated air in the interlayer. . When they arrived, someone told them that the residence would have unified heating facilities. It seemed that this was the wall.
Although Liu Shang was afraid of the cold, the temperature in the room was indeed not too cold. It seemed that at least he would not have to suffer from hunger and cold in his life in Shandong, which also made him feel a lot calmer. Thinking about it, this is also true. Haihan people have always paid attention to the enjoyment of the details of life and the comfort of the environment. How could they leave this kind of problem unsolved? Even though the living environment here is relatively simple, the most basic living conditions will definitely be well guaranteed. This can be regarded as one of the established rules of Haihan's development of overseas colonies.
Not long after everyone settled in, an officer came to invite them to the multi-functional hall on the island for a banquet. Morgan and Chen Yixin, who had just returned from Fushan County, welcomed everyone. In the past few days after coming out of Zhoushan, the food eaten on the ship was indeed of limited quality, and the glutton in Liu Shang's stomach had long since crawled out. He once followed an inspection team around Hainan Island and had a lot of official banquets. He also knew that the standard of such reception banquets was usually not low. He immediately didn't want to continue packing his luggage. He got up and dragged Su Wei to the banquet together. Went.
As the name suggests, the multi-functional hall on the island is not a hall specially used for banquets, and given the current situation of the Shandong base, there are not many banquets to be held here. Therefore, this hall building, which covers an area of about two acres, is mainly used as a canteen for the garrison in peacetime, and can accommodate at least two to three hundred people dining inside at the same time. When a large-scale combat meeting is held, this place will be temporarily converted into a conference venue, which can accommodate army and navy officers from the Shandong base to hang out maps, set up a sand table, and formulate combat plans.
As for holding large-scale banquets, this happens only once or twice during the Chinese New Year and festivals. This time, a team of cadres organized by the Hainan Island base camp to go north to aid construction arrived in Shandong. Naturally, the military, as the local host, had to hold a reception banquet to make sense.
Liu Shang expected it to be true. The dishes at the Jie Feng Banquet were quite sumptuous and maintained the consistent standard of Haihan's official banquet. Although all the dishes you eat on this journey north are made with seafood as the main ingredient, the northern sea has its own specialties that are unique to this region, such as sea cucumbers, swimming crabs, prawns, small yellow croaker, and mackerel from the Bohai Sea, and the yellow croaker and mackerel from the Yellow Sea. Plaice, eels, noodle fish, horse mackerel, oysters, etc. are all different from the seafood produced in the East China Sea and the South China Sea.
Liu Shang didn't have much research on seafood ingredients at first. During his previous tour around the island, he kept listening to big shots exchange their food experiences at banquets held by local governments, and he gradually learned about the special fish, shrimp and crabs produced in the waters of various places. cowry. Probably only a country like Haihan that focuses on maritime development can cultivate a large number of gourmets who are good at this.
Of course, such an occasion is also indispensable with good wine. In addition to the "Sanya Special Wine" sent all the way from Hainan Island, there is also Shandong's local sorghum wine, which is high in alcohol and spicy in taste. People born in the north naturally enjoy the drink, but southerners like Liu Shang are not able to adapt to such tastes. They can only ask for sugar cane wine produced in Haihan after trying it. Although the Sanya special brew has great stamina, at least it doesn’t hit the forehead as much as the sorghum wine, and the alcohol intensity is much softer.
Not long after, Morgan and Chen Yixin each led a team of people and began to launch a wine table offensive against these tables of cadres heading north. However, toasting is just a social means. The two senior military officials are dispatched together to take this opportunity to let the people in charge of relevant affairs on both sides get to know each other, so as to pave the way for the work handover in the next few days.
Since all local civil affairs are currently managed by the military, almost all officers in the logistics department have other duties. In addition to handling military affairs, they are also responsible for civil affairs work in a certain field. After the team of cadres from the north arrived in Fushan County, these tasks had to be handed over one after another, and then the cadres gradually established a normal governance structure here to bring the civil affairs of the Shandong occupied areas into unified management.
In this process, the connection between the military and civilian leaders becomes particularly important. Liu Shang couldn't help but remember that before setting off, Yu Xiaobao also specifically warned him to pay attention to his work attitude after arriving here and not to have any disputes with the military. In addition to the head of the Ministry of Security who rarely appeared in public, Liu Shang couldn't help but remember. Several other senior officials are all members of the military, so even if a large group of cadres like them are here, the military will still have the final say here. If there are any differences of opinion with the military, you can imagine which side the senior officials will take in the end.
Liu Shang felt that Yu Xiaobao was making a fuss. Judging from the warm reception arrangements by senior military officials, the military must have been eager to leave the complicated civil affairs affairs at hand to the cadres heading north. In this way, the follow-up work will soon be on track, and the situation that Xiaobao is worried about will not occur.
Although the team of cadres heading north did not have a senior official as the leader, there were officials in charge of personnel work. They immediately stepped forward to contact Morgan and Chen Yixin and introduced the person in charge of relevant affairs to Morgan and Chen Yixin respectively. Then the military personnel responsible for docking also stepped forward, and the two sides met. Let’s get to know each other.
Liu Shang's errand was mainly about political propaganda, and his counterpart was a civilian officer named Qin Wei, who was also responsible for the same work in the army.
"Nice to meet you!" Liu Shang took the initiative to raise his glass and said, "I'm new here and don't know much about the local situation. I hope Brother Qin can give you more guidance on future work!"
Qin Wei didn't seem to have any airs. He happily clinked glasses with Liu Shang and downed the drink in one gulp. Then he said a few polite words and nodded to make way for other officers behind him.
The polite attitude shown by the other party made Liu Shang even more relieved. He thought that his job would not involve money in the first place. There would not be an obvious conflict of interest in handing over the work with the other party. He should not be involved in the handover. Something went wrong along the way. When he returned to his residence in the evening, Su Yu looked worried. Liu Shang saw that his face was full of sorrow, so he took the initiative to ask what happened.
Su Yu said: "What else can it be, just handing over work. Brother Liu, my job is a big one, and no one will leave it to others so easily."
Liu Shang immediately remembered that Su Yu was in charge of immigration affairs. Judging from Haihan's method of recruiting immigrants, this was indeed a lucrative job. As long as you were brave enough, it was not easy to make money.
When Haihan recruits immigrants, he usually promises generous benefits to craftsmen with skills. Even if he has no skills, he can still get good treatment if he has a good body. Of course, the ones with the best treatment are those scholars who voluntarily serve Haihan, especially those who are famous. These categories have always been the key targets of Haihan's recruitment. In addition to the promise of basic living security, the civil affairs department will usually issue special one-time subsidies to the parties to attract these capable people to join them. Haihan.
The Ministry of Civil Affairs also has corresponding rules and regulations to whom the money should be distributed and how much, but in actual operation the scale is extremely flexible. There is nothing that can be done about it. Haihan recruits a group of immigrants ranging from a few hundred to a thousand. If each recipient of the subsidy needs to submit a written application, it will not only increase the complexity of the recruitment procedures, but also It will significantly extend the time required to recruit immigrants. This is obviously an unacceptable approach for Haihan, who regards time as money. Therefore, when recruiting special immigrants, the scale of subsidy payment is in the hands of the immigration officer who handles it. He can control it by himself. Just fill in the corresponding numbers in the registration information.
In this way, the immigration officer handling the matter actually has the power to issue the subsidy. Although in order to avoid official corruption, the Ministry of Civil Affairs has also stipulated that immigration officers will only make corresponding decisions, and subsidies will be distributed by the financial department, but it is still difficult to eradicate some people who find ways to use their power to gain benefits for themselves. But for the entire immigration environment, this kind of sneaky business will not affect Haihan's immigration plan after all, so the top management often just turn a blind eye to such situations, as long as they don't go too far. After all, if you want the people below to do their best, how can you not leave any oil or water to the person in charge?
Su Yu was responsible for this kind of affairs when he was in Hainan Island, so he knew the secrets involved. As for whether he benefited from it, that is not the point. The immigration affairs in Shandong were basically controlled by the military in the early stage. The recruited immigrants were transported to Zhoushan, Zhejiang, and then handed over to the civil affairs department. As for the payment of subsidies for special immigrants, it has always been in the hands of the military. Now Su Yu's arrival means that the original person in charge has to spit out this piece of fat. Naturally, the handover will not be like this. Liu Shang's errand went so smoothly.
"So... the officer who handed over to you had a bad attitude?" Liu Shang wanted to understand the reason and asked tentatively.
Su Yan responded: "In front of the chief, the man didn't say anything, but his face and eyes looked like he was looking at the enemy who killed his father...Brother Liu, my legs are still shaking right now... …”
Liu Shang didn't expect that Su Yu was such a fearful person. He couldn't help laughing and said: "I'm afraid you drank too much during the dinner, so you keep shaking your feet."
"Is that so? Well, if only it was true." Su Yu's mood did not improve because of Liu Shang's joking comfort. He still looked worried: "To be honest, this work handover is like a tiger's mouth. It is inevitable that people are not willing to cooperate if they take away food. ”
"But we still have to take over after all. This is the will of the executive committee, and no one can violate it." Liu Shang reminded him: "Besides, there are mountains of military orders. Today, the two chiefs expressed their opinions at the scene, asking these officers to cooperate with our work. , complete the handover as soon as possible. If someone is stumbling upon you, you can report it to your boss, and you will be sure that he will not be able to walk away with it."
"No, no, it's very wrong to do this!" Su Yu waved his hand and refused: "You also know that the military has the final say in the Shandong occupied area. How can we civilian officials be able to overpower the military? Even if it is reasonable to force the big shots to deal with the illegal personnel below, will they still remember us later? They will definitely find a way to drive us back to Sanya to avoid being an eyesore. "< br>
Liu Shang suddenly discovered that Su Yu had a much deeper understanding of officialdom than he did. If he thought about it carefully, it really made sense. Even if Su Yu has good reasons to ask the military to cooperate with him, if the leaders above him feel that this approach has caused the military to lose face, then no matter how good Su Yu is, he will not be appreciated by the higher-ups. At that time, it is indeed very likely that they will find any excuse to drive officials like Su Yu who are ignorant of current affairs and cause trouble for the military back to Sanya.
Liu Shang had no choice but to comfort him: "It's not necessarily a bad thing to go back to Sanya. At least the living conditions are much better than here."
Su Wei shook his head and said: "If it is returned, the situation in the future will not be much better. Think about it, the chief only needs to say that this person is not qualified for the position in Shandong. If you go back, you will still have Who dares to reuse you? ”
Liu Shang sighed: "But after all, you are still assuming that the other party will not cooperate with the handover. You have to get to that point to know the truth."
