Chapter 151 Resettlement
In addition to brushing their bodies, immigrants are also required to carefully wash their hair in a bun, which is also an important breeding ground for various human parasites. For some people who are willing to shave their hair, the executive committee also has an additional reward, as long as they shave their heads, they can immediately get two hot meat buns. Under the ** of food, a considerable number of immigrants who have already suffered too much on the way to escape accept this condition, exchanging their hair for fragrant food.
In view of the possible resistance of the public, the Executive Committee does not currently enforce short hair in its jurisdiction, and even many members of the militia still wear their hair in a bun. However, some necessary soft measures have begun to be implemented slowly, for example, if a member wants to be promoted from a second-class worker to a third-class worker, he must shave his long hair according to the requirements of the executive committee, and the same is true for the militia in the army.
The effect of this soft method is not particularly obvious at present, but there are still many people who want to fight for a good background under the rule of the Executive Committee, and they have the courage to shave off their original long hair. Without exception, such people were quickly taken care of by the Executive Committee, and those who had shaved their hair in the militia were given priority to be promoted to squad leaders, and those who had shaved their hair among the senior laborers were also appointed as foremen as soon as possible. As the old saying goes, what is good at the top will be worse at the bottom, this is a truth that has been tested by history, and the Executive Committee believes that under the subtle influence of these soft means, the social atmosphere that has been accumulated will be slowly changed.
Driven by the militia, the washed migrants passed through a curtain and into another large room, where medical staff performed a brief examination of their bodies. On the one hand, it is to prevent the influx of various infectious diseases, and on the other hand, it is also necessary to prevent immigrants from bringing some "illegal" things into the migrant settlements as much as possible.
After this test, each newcomer will receive two sets of jibeb** and two sets of coarse cloth trousers and two pairs of straw sandals, which is not a small cost, but the Executive Committee believes that uniform clothing will help the newcomers to build a sense of community and integrate into this new living environment. To this end, the Executive Committee approved a special purchase fee for the civil affairs department, so that they could purchase a large amount of cloth from the local Li people and Yazhou. Some of the women in the commune who were unable to do heavy labor also began to work as tailors, and sewing and mending were women's specialty, and they could get a small processing fee for each set of clothes, which was also a good livelihood for them. (Baidu search update is the fastest and most stable)
The newcomers are housed in the port's "special observation area," where they spend at least three days of observation to give them a time to rest and recuperate after a long journey, and to observe if any of them have a special purpose.
The establishment of this "special observation zone" was proposed to the relevant departments by He Xi when he returned to Shengli Port last time to report on his work. He believes that when new immigrants arrive in Hong Kong, it is necessary to start mixing "sand" with the immigrants and send some reliable old immigrants to live among the new immigrants for a few days. This has two advantages, one is that it can consciously guide some of the behaviors and thoughts of new immigrants, and the second is that it can detect some people with ill intentions early, so that the relevant departments can effectively prevent problems before they occur.
After discussion, the Executive Committee adopted Ho Xi's plan to build four rows of barracks in the area north of the port area near the foot of the hill, which could accommodate about 500 immigrants at a time. All newcomers are confined to the barracks for the first few days after landing and are assigned to the various project sites after the observation period is over. During this period, they will move to the labor dormitory near the construction site, and some of the people who are better will be eligible for the next batch of members.
Immigrants were able to get some time to rest, but the people who had just returned from the Crossing were not able to get that much time to rest. On the evening of arriving at Victory Port, after a simple reception banquet, it was time to attend the regular work report meeting.
In addition to the North American Gang of Six, there were more than 30 indigenous sailors who piloted two sea training ships and two temporary captains of the maritime department. In addition, they brought back 213 Vietnamese immigrants, and all but a few who were seasick were not in good condition, and the rest of the migrants arrived at Victory Port safe and sound.
In accordance with the requirements of the Executive Committee, they also consciously selected the migrants on the east coast of Vietnam, focusing mainly on single women and war orphans. The reason why they specifically asked them to bring in single women was also to balance the current situation of the local population with more men than women. Due to the large number of infrastructure projects in the early stage, the Executive Committee initially selected young and strong immigrants when they first introduced them, and only later did they gradually start to move in as family units when communes were established. In addition, there is an imbalance in the proportion of men and women within the group, and the introduction of a large number of young women has become a necessary condition for maintaining social stability.
The war orphans are the foundation of the future rule of the Crossing Group, and these helpless children will be raised here by the Crossing Group, and when they grow up here in a few years, they will no longer have any thoughts of divine authority or loyalty to the country in their minds, and loyalty to the Executive Committee will be their main goal in life. Although this investment would take up a lot of money and the payback period would be very long, no one in the Executive Committee had raised any objections or objections to it.
Everyone in the Executive Committee knew very well that the future Crossing Group would never be confined to this island, and when there were tens of hundreds, if not tens of millions, of people under the rule of the Executive Committee in the future, what they needed was a large number of grassroots managers loyal to the Executive Committee and the Haihan regime. The Travelers will be the rulers of the future Haihan Republic, but these grassroots managers who have grown up in this time and space are the real ruling foundation of this regime. The sooner you start cultivating the seeds, the greater the harvest will be.
Among the more than 200 immigrants who were transported this time, more than 40 were war orphans, accounting for a fairly high proportion. At the end of the observation period, the children will be sent to a Scout camp on the east side of the harbor, where they will receive specialized education and skills training. Until they reach the age of sixteen, some of them will go to the grassroots level to serve as civil affairs officers, while others will go directly to the new barracks to be militarized and then become members of the militia.
In his report, Tom Wang highlighted the current situation of war refugees on the east coast of Vietnam, and urged the Executive Committee to increase transportation capacity to rush the population. It is unlikely that these refugees will be able to gather on the seashore without food supplies for a long time, and over time, they will gradually flee to the inland grain-producing areas, whether they are sold into slavery or occupied by kings, and it will not be as easy to recruit immigrants in large quantities as they are now.
In addition, Tom Wang gave a detailed account of the infrastructure development of the colonization team in Heitu Port and the response measures after the heavy rain. As for the post-disaster reconstruction of Heitu Port, Tom Wang is not very optimistic: "When we left, there were already a lot of sick cases, and to be honest, I am not sure if they can control the spread of the flu. The lack of medicines and disinfection methods in the local area will be a great test for our medical staff. ”
Tao Donglai comforted: "We contacted Heitu Port last night, and the situation there sounds relatively stable, the scope of patients has not been further expanded, and the weather has begun to improve, and all reconstruction work is going on smoothly." In addition, the day before yesterday, the people from the Ministry of Shipping had already driven the 'Lightning' to Heitu Port, and if they were to go by the way, they should have arrived at Fushuizhou Island by now, and they would arrive at Heitu Port tomorrow at the latest, and they would send some supplies and medicines urgently needed by Heitu Port. ”
"There's one more thing I want to say. Wang Tom did not forget the development plan of the Black Soil Port Management Committee, Gu Kai and others specially compiled a written report and entrusted Wang Tom to bring it back to Shengli Port and report to the Executive Committee in person.
"The Black Earth Port Management Committee has some ideas about the local industrial system, and I think it is worth studying. Tom Wang took out the paper clip from his backpack and began to read out the plan: "In order to realize the efficient use of coal resources, improve the energy strategic development plan of the Executive Committee, and promote the smooth operation of the internal settlement system in the financial field, the current Heitu Port Management Committee has formulated the following development plan after democratic consultation and extensive listening to the opinions of professionals......
The plan is not very long, but the content is very detailed, Wang Tom spent more than ten minutes to read the whole plan, and finally he added: "I personally think that the plan of the Black Soil Port Management Committee is relatively feasibility, but this will definitely require the base camp to increase their technical support, after all, the chemical equipment they need cannot be built locally." ”
"Equipment is secondary, in the local chemical production, a large number of professional and technical personnel are definitely needed, how to support this?" Ning Qi was very sensitive to the problem of human resources: "The three acids and two alkalis project here has just begun to start, and there are still a lot of chemical projects to be carried out next, and it may not be possible to see the end of the work for another three or five or seven years, where can the technical team be drawn to the Black Earth Port to be stationed?"
"The coal chemical industry that Heitu Port wants to engage in is a superficial entry project, and it does not necessarily require many technical personnel. Qiao Zhiya, a chemical expert, interjected and expressed his opinion: "The main projects they plan to build are coal tar and asphalt, which are not high in technology. To further extract naphthalene, benzene, and phenol from coal tar, there is no way to do it locally. These more delicate processes still have to be transported back to the base camp for processing. ”
