After starting work, Shao Tianhu realized that he had been tricked by Lao Wang. This job sounds simple, but it is not easy.
He thought that the workflow was to stamp and distribute awards, but in fact this was not the case. It was not an easy task to deal with these award recipients.
Almost every award recipient would stay with him for a long time and ask all kinds of weird questions, many of which were difficult for Shao Tianhu to answer.
After obtaining the management rights of these lands, can the holders buy and sell them?
If you want to continue operating these lands after five years, what procedures do you need to go through?
If it is left to the local government to manage it on its behalf, can the crops be grown on these lands be specified?
Someone asked whether there had been a war on Star Island, how peaceful the place was, and whether men who immigrated there had to enlist in the army.
Others took this opportunity to get close to Shao Tianhu and asked him if he was married, saying that he had an unmarried daughter at home.
Shao Tianhu used to lead troops in the army to fight, and he was very particular about military orders. How could anyone under his command dare to be so nagging and asking questions? Now he is being asked a lot of questions by these people, and he has to take his image into consideration and answer patiently. them.
During the lunch break, Shao Tianhu couldn't help complaining to his colleagues that this job was much more difficult than dealing with the Portuguese yesterday, at least it didn't require so much brainpower.
However, this complaint did not win sympathy, because the office's daily reception targets are mostly ordinary people, but it is just a lottery event, and a large number of people come to visit during this period.
But even with the blessing of the lottery, the effect of attracting immigrants has not yet reached the level that Shao Tianhu expected. Even among those lucky winners, only a few of them are considering moving from Sanya to Xingdao and managing these dozens of acres of land on their own.
The first choice for most lottery winners is still to hand it over to the Xingdao government for management, stay in Sanya yourself, and receive land management income every year.
"This is actually not surprising. After all, how many people living in the capital are willing to give up the living environment here and move to a border area thousands of miles away?"
Lao Liao told the truth in one sentence. He has lived in Sanya for several years and can naturally understand what the locals think.
Lao Wang also added: "People in the capital like to be lively, so they will actively participate in the lottery, but if you ask them to move to Star Island for these prizes, many of them may rather give up the prizes than move."
Shao Tianhu said: "In this way, we managed to hold this event but failed to attract more immigrants. Isn't it a waste of resources?"
Lao Wang shook his head and said: "That's not the case. The second young master's original intention was to promote Xingdao and let the domestic people understand the current situation and development prospects of Xingdao. Now it seems that the effect has been quite good, at least the public opinion in the capital is positive. The discussion on Xingdao has become much more popular than before, and there are more voices supporting Xingdao’s foreign military operations.”
"As for attracting immigrants, after all, the conditions of Xingdao are limited and have been like this for so many years. There is no need to rush."
In other words, Lao Wang is not optimistic that the introduction of immigrants to Xingdao will bring about earth-shaking changes. Although it sounds reasonable, Shao Tianhu always feels that their attitude is not positive enough and seems to be complacent with the status quo. I guess there wasn't enough pressure on the office from above to allow them to make such comments so easily.
Shao Tianhu said: "Most of the people in the capital are wealthy, and it's normal that they don't have much desire to move to Star Island. So why not try somewhere else? The world is so big, and many poor people don't have property or land. We, Star Island, can provide them with the conditions to settle down." , there should be many people willing to immigrate for land, right?" Lao Wang shook his head and said: "We are not the only ones who can provide land. The Luzon region is closer to the country and there is a lot of undeveloped land. And they last year. The newly occupied land from the south is much more than our Xingdao. If we use land as gifts to attract immigrants, we may not be able to compete with Luzon.”
Shao Tianhu asked: "Has the Luzon Region ever held an event similar to ours in China?"
Lao Wang was stunned and said: "That's not the case yet..."
Shao Tianhu said: "In this case, why don't we take advantage of the fact that our competitors are not taking action and think more about other ways to attract immigrants. This can't be done, and it can't be compared to doing nothing. The immigrants will come from the sky." Falling off?”
As Shao Tianhu spoke, his tone gradually became stern. The other people couldn't stand such a scolding, and they suddenly became silent and did not dare to respond.
Li Gui tentatively said: "Sir, when it comes to recruiting immigrants, we can't just recruit them wherever we want. We have to get approval from the superiors."
Shao Tianhu said: "Please tell me carefully."
Li Gui then introduced: "If you want to recruit immigrants from other cities and counties, you must first go to the civil affairs office to apply and complete the relevant procedures before you can go to the local government to contact the local government and dental offices to handle specific matters. Otherwise, think about it, the local Can the government allow outsiders to poach its territory? ”
Shao Tianhu said in confusion: "Then just follow the procedure and apply?"
Li Gui shook his head and said: "This thing is not that easy to handle. If you go and get it done today, tomorrow others will see it and apply in the same way. Will the Civil Affairs Office handle it? If everyone agrees, all overseas regions will be able to do it." If you go to the local area to recruit people, will the local government be happy?”
Shao Tianhu thought about it, and it seemed to make sense, so he asked again: "In the early years, a large number of immigrants moved into overseas regions. How was it handled at that time?"
Lao Liao interjected: "Most of the immigrants at that time were refugees from the Ming Dynasty, and some were transported back from Liaodong. Tens of thousands of people were sent to Hainan Island every year, and some of them were transferred to overseas countries. Those who have fled will be resettled in the area as long as they have food to eat. They can settle down wherever they go.”
Shao Tianhu said: "In that case, why not proceed as usual? We also go to the Ming Dynasty to recruit immigrants."
Lao Liao said: "Today is different from the past. Almost all the coastal areas of the Ming Dynasty are occupied by our country. Now the land belongs to our country, and the people are also our people. As for those places in the interior that are still ruled by the Ming Dynasty, most of the people who come out of these coastal areas are occupied by our country." The region absorbed it.”
"Sir, if you want to get people out from the interior, you have to cross the state, county, and border. The cost is very high. Our office has limited funds for recruiting immigrants every year, so we can only give up."< br>
"To put it bluntly, our office can only handle as many things as the resources provided by Xingdao. If Master Tan hadn't made the decision this time, this lottery event would definitely not have been possible."
Shao Tianhu was silent. He only knew that the Xingdao Office had no outstanding achievements in immigration work, but he did not expect that there were also many helplessness.
