Chapter 2486
When these young descendants of the Xu family take up their posts, the Haihan Ministry of National Defense will reorganize the troops formerly affiliated with the Xu family. Although Xu Yuzhuo and Xu Jiaqi will still be senior generals in Fujian in the future, their actual authority will be greatly reduced. Although this exchange condition seems to have caused the Xu family to suffer a lot, it can be regarded as a successful continuation of the Xu family's blessings.
Regarding the appointment of civil servants, Tao Donglai also gave relatively clear opinions. The candidates recommended by the Xu family this time will be appointed after identity review. However, like the military attachés, their appointment locations will be arranged outside Fujian. A few outstanding people with outstanding qualifications and experience in government can enter the national departments in Sanya, while the rest will first serve as grassroots officials at the local level, and the next step will be made based on their governance performance.
Haihan's willingness to accept all the candidates recommended by the Xu family has exceeded the expectations of Xu Yuxing and others. They originally thought that Haihan would only select a few people from among them and assign them symbolic official positions. After taking office, they would slowly find ways to clear the joints and seek promotion opportunities for them. I never thought that Haihan's arrangement was very generous, and he actually assigned jobs to all of them. At that moment, several members of the Xu family thanked him profusely, saying that they would definitely warn the children of the clan to serve the country from now on.
The rise of the Xu family stems from the partnership established between Xu Xinsu and Haihan. In the past, they were able to separate themselves in Fujian because of the support of Haihan. But after Xu Xinsu's death, this level of affection will also weaken. If the Xu family wants to maintain their influence and wealth in Fujian, they must make more concessions in exchange for Haihan's support. Handing over the military and political power in Fujian was the exchange condition that Xu Xinsu had negotiated with Haihan long ago. Everything the two parties are doing now is just fulfilling the agreement that Xu Xinsu negotiated before his death.
Of course, Haihan would be happy to exchange some positions for the Xu family's full commitment. This would save a lot of trouble in the process of taking over Fujian, and the Xu family would also have less resistance. Compared with using force to conquer Fujian, the current approach is extremely cost-effective. When the executive committee discussed the solution to this matter, there was even a rare objection. The executive committee members participating in the discussion unanimously agreed to use official positions in exchange. condition.
After all, there were a large number of vacant positions as Haihan expanded his territory, and there was indeed a need for employment. As long as the young people recommended by the Xu family were not idlers, Haihan would definitely be happy to appoint them to official positions to fill the employment vacancies in various government offices.
Both sides got what they needed, and the meeting ended in a very harmonious atmosphere. Although the Xu family's control over the Fujian region will slowly fade in the next few years, it will also get the opportunity to spread its branches in the areas under Haihan's rule. If the Xu family's sphere of influence was limited to Fujian in the past, now they have gained a broader space for development.
If a few powerful figures can be cultivated among the younger generations, it will not be impossible for the descendants of the Xu family to enter the center of Haihan power in the future. In the past few years, under Xu Xinsu's intentional management, marriages between the Xu family and time travelers have not been uncommon, and it has become even more common in the second generation of time travellers. This is one of the important reasons why the executive committee can maintain trust in the Xu family.
But not all foreign officials who came to Sanya to report on their duties were so relaxed and happy, especially those local officials who were originally loyal to the Ming Dynasty. Most of them did not have the status and background of the Xu family to be used by Haihan. It's not because they had any special relationship with Haihan before, it's just because Haihan didn't have enough officials to replace him, so he could only let them continue to serve.
Of course, this special appointment relationship cannot guarantee the stability of their positions. In fact, Haihan's standards for testing officials' administrative abilities are not much different from those of the Ming Dynasty. They mainly review their political achievements during their tenure. Officials who fail to meet the requirements may still lose their official position. Moreover, these officials from the Ming Dynasty could not pass the test just by writing work reports. They had to go to Sanya in batches to complete their work reports according to the arrangements of their superiors.
Of course, the Haihan Executive Committee made such an arrangement not only to test the abilities of these officials face-to-face, but also with the intention of letting them come to Sanya to see Haihan's national power with their own eyes. After all, in the minds of these officials, Haihan was just a powerful outsider. They just succumbed to this, but they did not experience the power of Haihan's national power. Taking this opportunity to visit Sanya in person will be of great help to them in understanding the real situation in the country of Haihan and changing their original mentality of surrender.
As the most prosperous city in the Haihan Kingdom, Sanya has a level of infrastructure and complete infrastructure that far exceeds the times. Even a well-informed person will still be greatly shocked when he comes here for the first time.
The place where the debriefing officials report their work is the Haihan Assembly Hall located at the foot of the mountain on the north side of Victory Fort. This solid building built entirely of granite stone and reinforced concrete is a gift project for the 20th anniversary of the celebration and was completed two years ago. Put into use. The Assembly Hall faces north and south, with a square and solemn appearance. It is more than 100 meters long from east to west, and the highest point is nearly 30 meters. After ships enter the Victory Port, you can see the national flag on the roof of the Assembly Hall from a distance. It is now one of Sanya's famous landmarks. one.
The function of this meeting hall is naturally to hold various large-scale meetings and host various foreign affairs activities. There is a large conference hall and a large banquet hall that can accommodate thousands of people, as well as several halls with different functions. The internal water and electricity facilities are complete, and the office furniture and interior furnishings are all arranged according to the standards of Fort Victory. There are more than 200 staff members just for the daily operations here.
This group of more than 30 foreign officials came to report on their work. The venue for their reporting was arranged in the large meeting hall. They were received and held in groups by senior officials from the Executive Committee, followed by several days of visits and inspections. journey.
Of course, if they fail to pass the assessment, they will most likely be dismissed from their posts, and subsequent visits and inspections will naturally be cancelled.
So when they were brought into the big meeting hall by the staff, these officials were both excited and uneasy. What they were excited about was what they saw and heard in Sanya, which fully proved that this country is far more powerful than they imagined. What's more, being an official in such a country with strict governance is not as easy as before. Even if you don't make any mistakes during your tenure, if your governance performance cannot satisfy the executive committee, you will still run the risk of losing your official position.
