After the working group went to the servant market after lunch, the reservation of 100 people was already full, and many people were surrounding the tooth merchants to ask if they would still accept people. According to the previous statement of the working group, the tooth merchant only said that today's quota is full, and those who want to ask for a bowl of rice will be asked for breakfast tomorrow. As for the people who received the bamboo chips, they have been notified that they will bring their luggage here tomorrow afternoon to wait for the owner, and then they will arrange to take a boat to the destination.

Although the tooth merchant was so tired that his voice was hoarse, he still had seven taels of silver in the account for most of the day, but he was still quite excited: "Today's recruitment of laborers is so smooth, do you need to continue tomorrow?"

"Of course we have to continue, we are long-term people, you just do your best. Marik thought about it and added: "In the future, you don't have to emphasize that you are going to farm the land, and we will also want those who can't farm." In addition, if you can recruit a variety of craftsmen or people with a skill, the cost can be calculated separately. ”

"There are also workers whose age can be lowered, and we want children. Qiu Yuan also helped to add.

In the Executive Committee's population introduction plan, in addition to the labor force, children are also a very important category. The Executive Committee believes that if a group of absolutely loyal naturalized citizens is to be cultivated within 10 years, then the children who have not yet been stereotyped are undoubtedly the best targets, so it also specifically requested the working group to introduce a large number of school-age children if conditions permit.

In view of the current situation of multi-ethnic students in the schools run by the public, the teaching content is still mainly based on Chinese literacy and conversation, followed by teaching some basic mathematical operations, and the rest of the courses are basically brainwashing content, constantly publicizing the lofty image of the Executive Committee from different angles and in different ways, so that these students can imperceptibly form the consciousness that "the decisions of the Executive Committee must be correct, and the orders of the Executive Committee must be obeyed". The Military Police Department, which has always been eyeing the importation of people, is said to have put the Boy Scout program on its agenda. Of course, the Ministry of Military Police plans to train the boy scouts not to push the child soldiers into the battlefield in a short period of time, but to establish a military academy-style management structure to partially replace the ordinary schools that are currently lacking in teachers.

In the evening, when the Cliff Office contacted the base camp, it reported in detail on the progress of the labor migration work and asked the Executive Committee to send a boat to the designated place to receive the migrants the next day. The Executive Committee is also very satisfied with the progress of the work of the Cliff Office, which has provided timely information on the market trends of glass products to the base camp, and the Ministry of Industry is working overtime to build a glass kiln, which can be put into small-scale production in about a week. Now that the executive committee is most concerned about the population issue, a breakthrough has also been made, and it is natural to agree to their request, and said that the hot water boiler mentioned by the Yazhou Office last time is already in the process of being worked, and it can be shipped to Yazhou next week at the latest, and samples of newly baked glassware will also be sent over at that time.

The next day, Marik and Qiu Yuan went to the servant market again, and sure enough, there were many fewer people than the previous day, and only more than ten people were recruited in the morning. In the afternoon, the people who had come to apply for the draft the day before appeared outside the market one after another with their luggage, and the number of people in the tooth quotient was not much different from the day before, and seeing that the appointed hour had arrived, they took the group of immigrants with Ma Qiu and the others to the southern coast.

This time, the Executive Committee sent the "Lightning" and the same ship that had captured the pirates last time to load the people, and the tooth merchant and the immigrants were amazed when they saw such a strange-looking sailing ship as the "Lightning" for the first time. Most of the immigrants were loaded onto the Canton ship, and the cabins were stuffed to the brim, with only a few women and children aboard the "Lightning" and were lucky enough to enjoy the yacht journey.

After a brief handover with Tom Wang, who led the team, Marik watched as the two ships pulled anchor and lifted their sails, slowly sailing away from the coast and heading east. On the way back, the fleet will also stop at Tianya and Fenghuang to bring some of the migrant workers recruited by the local area back to the Sanya base camp.

The laborers who came to apply were still a little apprehensive about the prospects, after all, everything they knew was from the mouths of tooth merchants, and it was difficult to say how credible they were. But after coming to the beach and seeing these two big ships, the workers' originally restless hearts gradually calmed down. The ship also arranged for a few relatively articulate Hainan natives to constantly preach to the newcomers about the various immigration policies of the "Haihan Executive Committee" throughout the voyage, which were basically the same as the commune system and the labor hierarchy, encouraging these newcomers to join the commune and exchange their long-term service for all kinds of preferential treatment of the executive committee.

The effectiveness of this propaganda program has been verified many times in Sanya, although the ship is loaded with some people who have never been to Sanya, but the ears have heard these full of ** propaganda has made them look forward to the destination The executive committee is in charge of the heaven and earth, food and housing, the birth, the old, the sick and the dead children study, and after a few years of hard service, they can also get their own piece of land, what else is there to demand?

Of course, there are still many people who are skeptical, and before they saw it with their own eyes, it was really hard to believe that there was such a place in the Ming Dynasty, and the social system they pursued sounded completely different from the environment in which they used to live. Whether it was good or bad to go to live in such a place, a lifesaver or the beginning of another nightmare, it is difficult for them to judge now.

Since the speed of the Canton itself was not very fast, and it was full of people, the "Lightning" had to slow down and wait for the Canton to follow. If the "Lightning" were to carry out the mission alone, then half a day would be enough time for it to run back and forth between Shengli Port and Yazhou, but now at this speed, I am afraid that it will have to wait until dark to arrive.

Hurrying along the way, the fleet finally rounded Yulin Point before sunset and sailed into Shengli Harbor. The sleepy migrants in the cabin were woken up and told that they had arrived at their place, packed their belongings and lined up on the deck to prepare to disembark.

When the migrants went up to the deck, the first thing they noticed, without exception, was the "New World" docked in port. The ship's side was a little higher than the top of the mast of the Canton ship, and the sheer size of the ship made all the immigrants who saw it stunned and amazed. Although many of them had lived by the sea for a short time, none of them had ever imagined that they could build a ship so large. And next to this huge ship, there was also a row of strange ships without masts and sails, each of which was larger than the one he was riding.

Hundreds of people were working on the shore next to these strange ships, carrying baskets of sand and gravel up a construction site that jutted into the sea, filling in a straight line along the coast, which stretched east and west for a hundred feet. Sharp-eyed people have already seen the doorway, which is clearly building a large wharf, and it seems that the boasting of the "Haihan Executive Committee" that I heard on the ship just now was not made up casually.

At present, the main work of the hydropower station in the upper reaches of the Tiandu River is nearing completion, and the remaining work is mainly to hoist the generator and carry out power generation commissioning, and the labor required is not too much, so the construction of the Shengli Port Wharf has finally been put in a priority position by the Executive Committee. In terms of engineering quantity, this wharf is larger than the hydropower station because of part of the reclamation process, but the terrain here is open, convenient for the use of various construction machinery, and the technical content is relatively low, and the construction is faster than the hydropower station with a smaller engineering volume. The Ministry of Construction expects that one-third of the wharf will be put into use by the end of this month, and it will be basically completed next month.

Of course, due to the current conditions, although the sturdiness and docking tonnage of the new wharf greatly exceed that of the previous temporary floating wharf, after all, piling and rock filling are the main construction methods, and continuous repairs are required. The Ministry of Construction plans to wait for the cement output to be guaranteed in the future, or to carry out another cement curing and renovation of the entire wharf to reduce the workload of daily maintenance.

When the boat finally approached the pier, the migrants found a group of people running in small steps in a neat line, and with a whistle, these people stopped in unison, and then quickly spread out on the wharf, forming a rectangular encirclement, and the mouth of the encirclement was facing the trestle where the migrants were about to land. Dressed in colorful cardigan coats, trousers, and green short-brimmed hats, they held a round rattan plaque about one foot and two inches in diameter in their left hand and a short black stick in their right hand. Although this group of people was not holding knives and guns in their hands, there was an invisible pressure emanating from their gestures, which made the immigrants on the ship silent for a while.

This team that was transferred to maintain order on the docks was naturally a naturalized soldier who had been in the new barracks for some time. Of course, it is too early to call these people "soldiers", and their military training is far from meeting the standards set by the Military Police Department. Another group of people with higher comprehensive skills continued to stay in the new barracks to receive firearms training and some basic tactical training, which was the real first batch of naturalized civilian soldiers.

"Everyone line up to get off the boat, go to our designated area and sit down and wait for the arrangement, no loud noise, no random movement! Violators will be punished with hard labor for more than three days for the crime of disturbing the peace...... The loudspeaker on the pier suddenly sounded, startling the immigrants who were disembarking. Some people looked around, wondering what kind of person could have such a loud voice, and it would be so loud that people's ears would buzz from afar.
