Chapter 2160
Although Xiunian has never been in the officialdom, he was responsible for the temple's material procurement when he was at Hirado Guangming Temple. He has a lot of experience in dealing with various businessmen and has seen all kinds of fancy talk. Naturally, he will not immediately He believed Jiang Zian's words as truth.
However, he still expressed his gratitude in a very cooperative manner, and quickly stated that he would do his best to assist Jiang Zian in managing this group of Japanese immigrants.
According to the resettlement plan, the group of Japanese immigrants sent to Baiquan Town will be further dispersed and received by the ten villages under the jurisdiction of Baiquan Town. These ten villages also sent responsible persons, waiting to take people back for resettlement.
Ding Hui took out the roster of immigrants, counted the head count with Jiang Zian, and confirmed that there were no differences or casualties during the handover. He handed over the living supplies that were delivered together, and then Jiang Zian signed and stamped the receipt document, and both parties were considered happy. The immigration handover was successfully completed.
The team escorting the immigrants only rested here briefly before setting off back to Dinghai Port. While it was still early, they could rush back before dark, otherwise they would have to stay in Baiquan Town overnight.
Xiunian officially entered work from this time on. He first assisted the town office in allocating the two hundred immigrants to various local villages. However, at the level of Baiquan Town, there was no more detailed list drawn up in advance. The person in charge sent by each village drew lots in advance and arranged the order. Each village selected twenty people according to the order of drawing lots to take away.
However, in order to prevent the young and strong from being selected by the villages ranked first, leaving only the old, weak, women and children for the villages ranked behind, each village can only select five people in each round, and if the selected people have family members, they will also be selected. They must be included in the allocated quota. If the number of people selected in the first round plus their family members reaches 20, there will be no selection opportunities in subsequent rounds.
Since there is no time to slowly formulate a more detailed distribution method, this is the most fair method that can be thought of at the moment. However, this allocation process is quite a workload for Xiunian. He has to explain the allocation plan to the immigrants and assist representatives from each village to complete each round of selection.
Although there were only 200 people, this whole process took more than an hour. Xiunian talked so hard that his mouth watered, and he couldn't help but think back to the time when he organized immigrants to board the ship at Hirado Port.
Jiang Zian did not participate too much in this process. He would only speak out and make the final decision when there was a dispute. Xiunian estimated that the new boss was observing her work ability, and she didn't dare to neglect him at all.
After finally completing the work, Xiunian stepped forward to report to Jiang Zian, and then asked for instructions on where to go. His establishment was not among the two hundred immigrants, and it was Jiang Zian who had the final say as to which village he would be assigned to.
"You don't need to go to any village, just stay at the town hall first!" Jiang Zian's answer was a little beyond Xiunian's expectations.
But he soon realized that if he was assigned to any of the villages, it would be difficult to take care of the Japanese immigrants in other villages. And staying in the town office of Baiquan Town is equivalent to sitting in the local power center, which can maximize the role of his only translator.
Each village took away the new immigrants, and the resettlement work came to an end. Xiunian took her luggage and followed Jiang Zian to the town office.
This Jiang Zian has no official airs. When he meets someone on the street, he will nod to say hello. Sometimes he will stop to greet people and ask a few questions about his family. It can be seen that he is not as unfriendly as he seems. The look of favor.
After walking on the Tiankan trail for more than two miles, we arrived at the center of Baiquan Town. Jiang Zian introduced the general situation of the town to Xiunian while walking.
Although the administrative level of Baiquan Town is "town", because the local population is mainly concentrated in the ten subordinate villages, the entire town together only has more than 2,000 people. There are actually not many homes in the so-called town. They are all official institutions such as town offices, schools, clinics, and police stations. The permanent population is also the employees of these institutions.
Although each village is not too far from the town, and the distance from the farthest village is less than ten miles, people generally do not run to the town if they have nothing to do. After all, for most people, going to town is either to do business or to go to the market on the first or fifteenth day of each month. Even if most people have something to do in town, as long as it is not too urgent, they will wait for the two days before going to the market to save time on the road.
In addition to the mayor Jiang Zian, the town office also has seven or eight other staff members, who are responsible for finance, clerical, agricultural, civil affairs, infrastructure and other affairs. Jiang Zian himself is also responsible for some of these tasks. As for institutions such as public security, education, and medical care, they are all handled by dedicated personnel sent by the Zhoushan Management Committee. They are parallel institutions belonging to different systems from the town office.
The town hall has a dormitory specially allocated to the staff. Although it is just an ordinary brick house, it is considered a high-end residence in an agricultural area like Baiquan Town, and Xiunian was also allocated a single room.
Although the space in the house is small, there is only a bed, a cabinet, a table and chairs, and they are all obviously old goods, but this is not bad for Xiunian. When he was at Guangming Temple, he had to live in a Zen room with more than ten other brothers. Only the abbot was eligible to live in a single room. This was simply a luxury for him.
When she first arrived in Seogwipo, there was not even a place to shelter from the wind and sun. At that time, Xiunian felt that it would be good to have a roof to cover herself. But later he was promoted as a temporary assistant, and he enjoyed the treatment of living in a simple tent. When they arrived at the immigration camp on Zhoushan Island, the conditions improved a bit and they lived in a four-person room. Xiunian felt that this should be the best treatment he could enjoy in the short term. However, he never expected that after being assigned to a place, the living conditions would actually be better. It can be improved to another level.
"Let's live here temporarily. If you plan to get married and start a family after you return to secular life, you can apply for a bigger house at that time."
Xiunian could only smile when he heard Jiang Zian's introduction and said: "Thank you, mayor. I have no such plans for the time being. This place is very good."
Xiunian planned to return to secular life simply because he knew that it would be difficult for him to survive as a monk after arriving in Haihan. When he was in Seogwipo, he asked the soldiers from Haehan whom he knew, and confirmed that there were not many temples in Haehan. The life of the monks in Haehan was not easy, and most of them had to farm their own land to make a living. If you want to live with incense money like you did in Guangming Temple, it may be a bit difficult in Haihan.
As for getting married and starting a family, Xiunian has not considered it yet. For him, protecting his livelihood and striving for a stable living environment are the top priorities, and other needs can be dealt with later. "Come with me for dinner first. I have something to ask you later."
The town hall does not have a dedicated canteen, but shares a canteen with several other official agencies in the town. As a perk of being a public servant, you don't have to spend any extra money on this meal. Although the quality of the food is average, it's better than being able to feed yourself. This is good news for someone like Xiunian who is new to the country and has no financial means.
Even during the most difficult period in Seogwipo, Xiunian was lucky enough not to be hungry. However, the miserable lack of food and clothing in the temporary immigration camp left a deep impression on him. When we were giving porridge, many people were so hungry that their eyes were red.
At that time, Xiu Nian thought that this might be a situation caused by the insufficient supplies of the Haehan Army, and they could only starve immigrants to meet the needs of the army. However, later, the coalition forces held a local celebration meeting before leaving Seogwipo, and Xiu Nian understood what was meant. The food shortage was just a situation deliberately created by the Haihan Army to weaken the immigrants' resistance and force them to surrender in order to survive.
But even after realizing this inside story, Xiunian had no intention of resisting Haihan. Even the powerful Hirado clan army was completely defeated. What effect could his resistance as a monk have? It would be better to make good use of your opportunities and break away from the class that is manipulated by others as soon as possible. That is the wisest choice.
While Xiunian was eating in the cafeteria, in addition to several colleagues from the town office, she also met Wang Xiucai, who walked with three unsteady steps, Director Qu of the police station who is a veteran like Jiang Zian, and Xiu Nian, who cherishes words like gold. But it is said that Dr. Liu is quite capable. These people, like them, were having their dinner in the cafeteria. After all, this is a work benefit, and it can save you a lot of money over time.
After eating, Xiunian followed Jiang Zian back to the town office. Jiang Zian brought Xiunian to his office, poured him a glass of hot water, and motioned for him to sit down and talk.
"We are the managers of Baiquan Town. We work together and perform our duties to ensure that the people here are safe and well-fed. And what you have to do in the future is the same as us. Do you understand?" br>
Xiunian was refreshed and realized that he had become a member of the "Baiquan Town Managers". This was a very critical step for him.
"You should have learned about the regulations on labor points and labor grades when you were trained in the immigration camp, right?"
Xiunian nodded quickly and responded: "The villain has already learned it, but he has never been exposed to the actual situation, and there are still many things that he does not understand."
Jiang Zian said: "Before you naturalize, you new immigrants can only earn points through hard work in exchange for the necessary living materials. You need a place to live here, food, clothing, daily necessities, medical treatment when you are sick, and schooling for your children. , all of these conditions must be guaranteed by the labor points you have obtained. In the future, your points and labor grade must reach the corresponding level to pass.”
"Of course, the points you get will be different for different jobs. For example, if you work at the town office, you will get more than three times more points every day than the other two hundred people. So as long as you do your job well, the time for naturalization is just around the corner. After you become a naturalized citizen, you will be able to receive a monthly salary.”
In fact, Xiunian had already heard about these contents once when he was receiving training in the immigration camp, but he was not as practical as Jiang Zian, and he did not know what direct impact this system would have on his life. After listening to Jiang Zian's explanation, Xiunian had a more intuitive understanding of this.
Jiang Zian continued: "I will slowly arrange for you what specific things you have to do in Baiquan Town. To put it simply, you are responsible for following up and handling the living issues of the two hundred Japanese immigrants assigned to each village. If you can't handle it, report it to the village chief and ask for assistance. If the village chief can't handle it, report it to the town office, and the town office will coordinate. If even the town office can't handle it, then I will report it to the management. Committee report. As for what needs to be reported, you must have learned it in the immigration camp.”
Xiunian quickly responded: "Anyone who commits adultery, disobeys discipline, attempts to escape, and is indolent, must report it as soon as possible."
Jiang Zian nodded and said: "That's right. Our country, Haihan, does not support idlers. If you want to take root here, you must act according to the rules of our country. However, you came from Japan, and your language, culture and living habits are different from ours. , when you first arrive, there will inevitably be some problems in daily communication, and you have to try your best to solve them. ”
Xiunian groaned secretly in her heart, but still responded respectfully. He thought that it would be okay for the two hundred people to live in one or two places, but they were divided into ten places to settle down. If this was a big deal and he was notified to go to the settlement to solve it, he would probably have to break his legs in a few days.
Jiang Zian seemed to have read through his mind and continued: "The village will naturally try to deal with ordinary small things, and you will not be tired all day long to deal with trivial things. But the life and life of these new immigrants in various villages You must understand the labor situation. Starting from tomorrow, you will go to two villages every day to understand the local resettlement situation and deal with the problems that arise during the resettlement. If you come back early, you will report to me on the same day. If you come back late, you will report to me. Come to me the next morning.”
Xiunian felt that this job might be difficult for him who was unfamiliar with the place he was born in. Just when he was about to say a few words, Jiang Zian didn't give him a chance to speak: "If you can't do such a simple thing well, then I I don’t think there is any need to waste the town office’s public funds to support you. When the time comes, you can just go farming with others.”
Xiunian swallowed the excuses that were on his lips. He didn't expect that his boss would give him a difficult problem so quickly. It seemed that the previous warning from Ding Hui was indeed correct. This boss really didn't do anything. So easy to get along with.
"The villain understands and will do his best to complete the task!"
Jiang Zian said this, leaving no room for Xiunian to maneuver. Now he can only bite the bullet and agree.
