Chapter 1209 Grassroots Officials
Haihan's cadre training system can be said to be a shortcoming hidden in the country's rapid development. Although the executive committee has been aware of the hidden dangers that this problem will bring from the beginning of time travel, and has also made measures for it. Many efforts have been made, such as opening courses to obtain scholars by themselves, appointing officials from the Ming Dynasty, and various departments setting up cadre training courses on their own, but after all, the time to gain a foothold is too short, and the number of qualified cadres is still far behind the expansion speed of Shanghai Han Kingdom .

It is also because of this that some colonies in the South China Sea can only be controlled by the military for a period of time after their establishment, making it difficult to organize sustainable and effective colonial construction.This situation has not been greatly improved so far, so among the cadres going south this time, there will be people like Han Zhengshan and Lu Yi who are almost recruited in the form of temporary cramming.If we strictly follow the employment standards, new immigrants like them are not even qualified to appoint cadres, but now is the time for employment, and although they lack personal qualifications, they are still hired by the relevant departments.

Although Tan Juren also doubted the abilities of these subordinates, he had no room to change candidates at the moment. Even if he could, the others he exchanged would not necessarily be better than the existing candidates.So what he can do is to improve the strength of his subordinates as much as possible, so that they can better implement their ruling intentions and make some decent achievements after they arrive in the colony.

The content of Tan Juren's lectures is mainly about the colonial power structure and departmental division of labor and cooperation mechanism. For cadres who have just officially stepped into the bureaucratic system, it is actually difficult to understand the way in the middle immediately.On the contrary, Han Zhengshan, an "old servant" who had been in the yamen for many years, would gain a lot after listening to Tan Juren's explanation.

According to Han Zhengshan's understanding, Haihan's division of labor in governance is more detailed and thoughtful than that of the Ming government, and there are ready-made models that can be applied. Everyone is very clear about their responsibilities. This division of labor and cooperation It will be more efficient than the operation of the Ming government.However, Han Zhengshan believes that this is also related to Haihan's astonishing financial resources. For example, the place where his boss Tan Juren will take office is said to have a population that is not as large as that of a county in Daming, and there are more than a dozen cadres in charge. Han Zhengshan I can't imagine that there are so many people in charge of a county government to share power with the county magistrate.

According to the bureaucratic system of the Ming Dynasty, under the county magistrate, there is a county magistrate and a master book, who are in charge of food and horses, patrols, tax collection, household registration, etc. The functions are managed by the history.Further down are the three classes of yamen servants and Min Zhuang, who add up to a hundred or so people in a mess.However, Haihan's grassroots bureaucracy is much larger. According to Tan Juren, the cadres they have been trained are all grassroots officials, and the lower down are the office workers like the third class of government officials.There are more than a dozen officials here, and the overall staffing is naturally much more than that of Daming's county government.

In addition, the salaries for working in Haihan government agencies are not low, and the funds required to maintain such a large organization are naturally far greater than that of Daming's county government. Considering the expenditure, such a model is in Obviously it doesn't work.But the benefits of having a large number of people are also obvious. The responsibilities and powers of grassroots officials at the level of Han Zhengshan are more clear, and their leader Tan Juren can devote more energy to the command work in the planning and implementation of the colony. Instead of being too busy dealing with civil affairs, large and small.

From Han Zhengshan's perspective, it is impossible to tell whether Haihan's method of exchanging large investment for high efficiency is better than that of the Daming government. Establishing a country and expanding outward, it can be seen that the role of this operating model is still quite significant.The question that Haihan's bureaucratic system can leave to the outside world is nothing more than the fact that almost all the citizens come from other countries, mainly Ming Dynasty, to serve. Under Haihan's rule, how loyal are these citizens? A weakness of Han.

Of course, judging from what Han Zhengshan has seen and heard after arriving in Haihan, the people of Haihan feel awe of their ruler. Many people regard the "chief" as an existence like a god descending from the earth, and there is no dissent at all.Even if some people miss their homeland, they don't complain too much about the current living conditions. After all, it's hard to find an environment like Haihan in an area under the rule that is almost free from war.Especially in Daming, which is facing internal and external troubles, except for the coastal areas of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Fuguang, which are relatively peaceful, the inland and the north have been caught in years of war. The gift of the Great Ming War.

When talking about this aspect, Tan Juren did not shy away from showing a sense of superiority: "Why are there so many civil strife in Ming Dynasty? Some people may say that it is a natural disaster or a man-made disaster, but these are only superficial phenomena. The reason for the decisive role is that there are too many people without food, and the government has no way to solve their survival problems. This situation will not occur in our country. We have a grain harvest that far exceeds the needs of the people for survival, and we have a strong With the protection of the armed forces, grassroots cadres like you supporting the operation of various departments and institutions, and a wise executive committee pointing out the way forward for us, this country will not be in chaos!"

If you have never been to Haihan and witnessed the situation here, then these people probably would not believe Tan Juren's bragging, but now hearing these words, everyone including Han Zhengshan feels that this is absolutely true. Exaggerated big truth.The prosperity and stability in Haihan's country is a situation that each of them can feel personally, and it is also the biggest reason why Haihan citizens are willing to submit to the rule of the executive committee.

But apart from these inspiring political propaganda, Han Zhengshan had a hard time listening to Tan Juren's knowledge in the professional field.This is because he was born in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and it is not so easy to understand Tan Juren's Haihan Mandarin with a strong Cantonese accent. Second, Tan Juren's content contains too many words and concepts that he does not understand.Tan Juren said ten sentences, Han Zhengshan could only understand six or seven sentences with a half-baked guess.

Han Zhengshan turned his head to look at Lu Yi who was sitting next to him, and seeing that he also had a confused look on his face, he thought that Lu Yi was from Songjiang Mansion, and his situation must be similar to his own.However, he is a doctor. In addition to curing diseases and saving lives, he only needs to go to the local area to take a few apprentices as teachers to complete the task. He does not need to master the theoretical knowledge of administrative management taught by Tan Juren so thoroughly.

Among the other people who attended the class together, there were two or three people who had been recording what Tan Juren said with a pen.Han Zhengshan noticed that what they were holding was not an ordinary writing brush, but a pen with a metal nib. There was also a small bottle of ink in front of them. After writing for a while, they had to dip the pen into the ink, and the usage was the same as that of a writing brush.When Tan Juren was in the police station, he also saw Huang Tongyang use this kind of pen. It is said that the nib is made of fine steel, and the Haihan people call it a "pen". Much more.

Those who can skillfully use this pen to write are obviously not immigrants who have just arrived in Haihan. Han Zhengshan can tell that these colleagues must have been naturalized in Haihan for quite a long time.Han Zhengshan immediately decided to wait for Tan Juren to finish his speech, and to get close to these dear friends—not for the writing tools they used, but to borrow the notes they made, so as not to miss the important points in the speech. content.

Among the group of cadres who will follow Tan Juren to the south are new immigrants like Han Zhengshan and Lu Yi, as well as several old naturalized people who have worked in the government for a long time.Although it is impossible to use all experienced cadres, the Executive Committee still hopes to arrange a lineup of old and new, so that the working groups going south can get started quickly after starting work in the local area, so that all departments will not be unable to work due to lack of experience. good run.As for a relatively unstable position like a public security officer, with Tan Juren and the local military attache watching over him, it is unlikely that any major troubles will occur.

In the next few days, the "heads" of various departments personally boarded the podium to give lectures.Although these students already have the title of cadres, they dare not show any slack and negligence in front of the "chief".Han Zhengshan deepened his understanding of Haihan's bureaucratic system and various departments through these courses, and the topics he chatted with Lu Yi and others every day were also about related content.Han Zhengshan joked to himself that if he had had this kind of motivation in his studies when he was a child, he would have been admitted to fame long ago, and now at least he would be a scholar or even a scholar.

Of course, these things learned in the training class have nothing to do with the subset of classics and history to be tested in the imperial examination of the Ming Dynasty, but to let these rookie cadres master the methods and methods of managing the people and maintaining the operation of the organization as much as possible in a short period of time.These theories are not advanced, and what they lack is only practical experience.

From the third day of the training, all trainees, led by the chief officer, went to the immigration camp to select and register candidates for going south.The immigration quota assigned by Tan Juren is 800 people, including more than 170 naturalized people who have been confirmed, and the remaining places will be selected from the immigration camps.

According to the usual practice of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, voluntary registration has been opened a few days ago, and the benefits that the immigrants will get are not only immigration subsidies, land, housing and many other preferential treatment, but also shortened to [-] days naturalization inspection period.As long as they do not make any obvious mistakes within [-] days of arriving in the local area, they can automatically obtain Haihan nationality and enjoy national treatment. This is much easier for new immigrants than staying in the local area to compete for the limited number of naturalization places.

Of course, the new immigrants do not know where they will be assigned, otherwise many of them may be discouraged because of this. After all, going overseas thousands of miles south of Sanya is not something everyone is willing to accept. prospect.

Of course, Han Zhengshan already knew the destination he was going to through the lectures of the past few days, but in fact, the difference between knowing and not knowing was not very big, because he couldn't imagine what kind of environment the place would be like.But one thing is certain, that is, no matter how far away the assigned place is, it is also the land under Haihan's rule, and all the rules and social systems will not be much different from Sanya.The most important thing is that there are Haihan troops stationed there, so there is no need to worry too much about security issues.

The new immigrants who have limited understanding of Haihan are more concerned about whether the difference in treatment between going to the local area and staying in Sanya is worthwhile.However, even if they do not participate in the southward immigration, the final assignment may not be able to stay in Sanya, and most of them will still be sent to other places. At that time, they may not have the preferential treatment of actively signing up for the southward migration.When the new immigrants realized this, the number of applicants was still quite large, which greatly exceeded the initial official expectations.

In this way, the task of Tan Juren and others is much easier. They only need to select qualified people from the applicants, instead of forcibly pulling a group of people from the immigration camp and escorting them to the southern colonies by force.

Han Zhengshan was also one of the interviewers who selected immigrants, but because of the large number of immigrants, this kind of interview was actually just a formality, so that the newly appointed cadres were familiar with the work process, and there was no time to review them one by one.As long as the limbs are sound, there is no obvious physical disability or disease, and the intelligence is normal and can understand commands, they can basically pass.However, Han Zhengshan still pays attention to some of them, because after arriving in the local area, he will have to set up a security organization in a short period of time, and it may be difficult to effectively manage the local area with only him and the seven or eight rookie policemen who will be assigned there. Because of the public security situation, it is necessary to expand the establishment, and the recruiting targets must be among these new immigrants.

The registration and selection of immigrants continued until the end of the training period. In the next few days, various supplies began to be gradually loaded at Sanya Port and Shengli Port. The group of immigrants who went south understood their distribution of powers, and knew who they should listen to and be responsible to in the next period of time.In other words, it is to change the identity of the training they received a few days ago and then preach to these new immigrants.On the one hand, this is to strengthen their understanding of their own work, and on the other hand, it also allows these immigrants to understand the social division of labor after arriving in the local area, so that they will not misunderstand or resist the cadres' command at that time.

Three days later, everything was ready, and the immigrant fleet going south was about to depart.
