These houses are built according to Haihan’s standard immigrant village model. Although the structure is simple and the area is not large, it is still a standard brick and tile house. It is absolutely no problem to shelter from wind and rain, and it is even better than most immigrants lived before coming to Haihan. Conditions are even better.Although the new immigrants may not be able to understand and accept Haihan's land policy, few people complain about the poor living environment.The houses with mud walls and thatched roofs that were used to resettle immigrants in the early days have been gradually eliminated. In the past two or three years, most of the new immigrants have been allocated to resettlement houses with bricks and tiles. From this aspect, it can also reflect the significant improvement of Haihan's national strength.
Of course, immigrants with better family backgrounds may not accept such a resettlement environment. After all, the conditions of this kind of free resettlement housing are still relatively simple, and there will be no complete supporting living facilities.There are also many people who buy a house in a certain place in Hainan Island first, and then move here to settle here. Sanya, Haikou and Danzhou have built commercial houses specially for sale, and the sales in recent years have been quite good.
Rich people at a higher level will even directly apply for a piece of homestead from the government to build their own houses. The special right to use the land is naturally expensive, but in order to live more comfortably in Haihan Kingdom, the rich don’t care. Will care about this basic expense.For example, the Li family in Guangdong, the Xu family in Fujian, and the Zheng family in Annan almost all bought land in Sanya and other important city circles a few years ago and built their own residences.
In order to prevent the gap between the rich and the poor from being too obvious, the relevant departments also have certain restrictions on the area of this kind of homestead, lest someone is too inflated and want to build a small palace on hundreds of thousands of acres of land in the Haihan Kingdom. What to do?
After seeing this way of resettling immigrants, Liu Shang can only sigh again that it is good to have money. Many of these immigrants who came to Haihan are poor people or war refugees who cannot survive in Daming. After the Han Dynasty, if they could get such resettlement conditions, how could they not work hard for their new employers wholeheartedly.
After Liu Shang walked around the farm and village, what he felt the most was that Haihan really cared about introducing and resettling immigrants, not only providing them with basic living conditions such as food, clothing, housing and transportation, but also working. The arrangements are in place, as long as there are laborers in the whole village, they have their own labor tasks, and there will never be people who are idle.The government also arranges the basic needs like medical care and education very meticulously. The new immigrants don't need to worry about these problems at all, they just need to focus all their energy on work.
Liu Shang also noticed a rather interesting phenomenon. Not all the immigrants resettled by Haihan in this kind of farm came from the Ming Dynasty, and there were also immigrants from Annan, Champa and other countries, and even Dongying people from the far north. And Koreans, and some Kunlun slaves with dark skin and strong bodies.This kind of immigrant village is a hodgepodge of various races, and it is really fortunate that Haihan can manage such a village in an orderly manner.
According to Lao Zengtou's introduction, only a little more than half of the villagers here are from Daming, and the origins of the others are varied. Liu Shang even saw two blond and blue-eyed Xifan people.However, the first thing these people do when they are assigned to the farm is not to familiarize themselves with Haihan farm tools, but to learn to speak Haihan Mandarin first. Although these people still cannot speak Mandarin fluently, it is enough for daily communication.
Seeing that these immigrants from various countries and different races are all nationals with Haihan nationality, Liu Shang didn't feel any emotion about the great unity of the world's nations, but realized that Haihan's population demand is indeed astonishingly large , I don't care about the concept of "people who are not of my race must have different hearts", as long as they can work hard for Hai Han, they will all be included in the bag.
Whether this situation is a good thing or a bad thing for Haihan, Liu Shang can't tell with his knowledge, but one thing he can be sure of now, these immigrants from various countries will definitely not be as useful as the Ming immigrants, after all It will take a long time for the barriers in language, culture and living habits to be gradually eliminated. Immigrants from the Ming Dynasty, especially the Han people, will surely integrate into the Han regime of Haihan at a much faster speed.
So Liu Shang came to a conclusion that Haihan continued to push his control line northward, even approaching the northern edge of the Daming Sea. Such a move cannot be summed up simply by trade needs or aggressive ambitions. The reason is probably that Haihan hopes to bring back more Han population from the north to fill the gap in labor demand.
Before Liu Shang came to Hainan Island, he had heard that the Haihan people had extended their tentacles to the Liaodong area last year. Although the Ming Dynasty lost land there, there were still a large number of Han people living outside the pass, and most of them became slaves of the Houjin Dynasty.The Haihan people did not inform the Ming court and directly landed on the Liaodong Peninsula from the sea. This move was probably to pick up more Han people from the local area for their own use.Of course, such an action requires a very high risk of war, and probably only a country like Haihan, which relies on its superior force, will go to such a far place to fight for population resources.
As for whether it is effective, it can actually be seen on this farm.At the beginning of the year, immigrants from outside the Liaodong Pass have been resettled here one after another. According to Lao Zengtou, these immigrants are all from the Phi Island area outside Liaodong. Liu Shang has heard of this place. It is said that other The location is next to North Korea, and it can be regarded as an overseas enclave after Ming lost the Northeast.However, the imperial court seems to have stopped supplying the local soldiers and civilians long ago. Presumably, after the Haihan people arrived there, they played tricks like exchanging food for population.
Although Liu Shang's conjecture was not correct, it was not far away. Almost all the Liaodong immigrants brought back from the north by Haihan came from Pidao.On the one hand, Haihan provided military and material assistance to the local area, and on the other hand, it also sent boats to pick up immigrants who voluntarily settled in the south from the local area.The Phi Island authorities did not stop this, but instead gave a very high degree of cooperation and support, because for the locals, the population on the island is too large, and the famine continues year after year, making Haihan Taking away some of the people who voluntarily relocated, the pressure on the supply of materials on the island can also be greatly reduced.
Shen Shikui, the governor of Phi Island, not only let the people on the island accept Haihan's arrangement to move to the south, but also took the initiative to try to pick up the refugees from the coastal area outside the Liaodong Pass.Shen Shikui could see very clearly that the Ming court was powerless to deal with the Han people outside the pass, and there was no way to save them. Now that Haihan is willing to take the initiative to take in these refugees, this can be said to be their best way out.
Shen Shikui's nephew, Shen Zhixiang, traveled southeast from Shandong with the Haihan fleet last winter, and spent the winter in Zhoushan, Zhejiang. He had a relatively objective understanding of Haihan's strength. Blow, everything suggests that Shen Shikui take Haihan as the standard.Of course, this kind of imitation will also get the full support of Haihan. At present, there are Phi Island officers in Shandong and Zhejiang who are receiving training, and these people from Phi Island are also responsible for supervising the transfer and resettlement of Liaodong refugees. .
Qiu Yuan took the lead and continued to introduce to the inspection team that since Haihan and Dongjiang Town reached a cooperation agreement in November last year, until the first half of this year, Haikou alone has accepted more than a thousand immigrants from Liaodong.And the collective farm they are visiting now houses more than [-] people from eight households.If the immigration plan goes well, Haikou City will receive at least one to two thousand immigrants from Liaodong during the second half of this year.
Qiu Yuan believed that the immigrants from Liaodong had relatively strong bodies, and after a little recuperation in the south, all of them were strong laborers. Therefore, he planned to resettle the immigrants from Liaodong to production units like farms as much as possible in the future.Of course, what he meant by mentioning this was that he hoped that Yu Xiaobao could help give the executive committee some encouragement after he went back, and try his best to win as many Liaodong immigration quotas as possible for Haikou.
However, after hearing his plan, Yu Xiaobao said otherwise: "Chief, the quota for Liaodong immigrants is not easy to move, and the Ministry of National Defense is very strict. The Liaodong soldiers recruited since last year have already served in the army. The general response is good, so the military hopes to recruit more soldiers from Shandong and Liaodong in the future expansion. If you want to ask people to come to farm, this priority must not be overtaken by the Ministry of National Defense.”
Haihan conscription has always enjoyed a very high priority. Whether it is a worker, a farmer, a government official, or a new immigrant who has just set foot in Haihan and has not obtained a nationality, as long as he signs up to join the army, he must be given priority in enlisting. Anyone Do not stop them.There are many benefits to joining the army, especially for new immigrants, this is almost the fastest way to obtain nationality and national treatment. In addition, the Haihan Army has a high prestige among the citizens. Haihan may have already been brainwashed in place on the way, and he even signed up to join the army before Sanya.For example, Sun Zhen, a Shandong soldier who had repeatedly made military exploits in the northern wars, joined the army during his transit in Penghu.
Qiu Yuan frowned and said: "I can't control the affairs of the Ministry of National Defense. In short, I want people to come here first. If the Ministry of National Defense can attract them to join the army, then I can only admit it."
After listening to this conversation, Liu Shang felt quite uncomfortable. The sources of soldiers these Haihan officials talked about were all the people of Ming Dynasty, but now the situation of Daming is not good. Unable to take care of it, the local Han people can only be enslaved by wild boar skins.If the imperial court had the spare power to give some help to the Han people in Liaodong like Haihan, or even recruit soldiers from them to prepare an army to counterattack Liaodong, it might also relieve the defensive pressure on the nine border towns.
It's a pity that this kind of thinking can only exist in Liu Shang's mind. He doesn't know whether the reason why the court did not take such measures is political factors or economic problems, but what the dignified Ming Dynasty can't do, this Haihan on the South China Sea countries are already implementing it.Moreover, people also think that the speed of moving Han people from Liaodong is too slow, so that the army cannot recruit enough Liaodong soldiers, which is really embarrassing.
The people of Ming Dynasty still need to rely on the army of other countries to save them. This can be said to be a huge irony. Liu Shang can hardly imagine that if those high-ranking officials in the court knew what Haihan did in the Liaodong area, their reaction Will the mentality explode completely.Anyway, Liu Shang's own mentality is a little bit overwhelmed. Apart from lamenting Haihan's immigrant feat, Liu Shang can't even think of sabotaging it now.Because he knew very well that his energy was limited, even if he did some sabotage work to slow Hai Han's pace for a while, it would be difficult for Da Ming to seize this opportunity to regain his already huge disadvantage.
What is the most beneficial choice for Daming?This question has repeatedly appeared in Liu Shang's mind recently, but he has never come up with a reliable answer.He has seen too many advanced places of Haihan along the way, some of them can be imitated by Ming Dynasty, and some of them can't be figured out at all, but Liu Shang feels that these visible places are not the root cause of the gap between the two countries' development status.This confusion made him very painful, and he even began to doubt whether the mission he shouldered was really meaningful.
For an intelligence officer who needs to lurk in an enemy country for a long time, once he is psychologically shaken, this situation is very dangerous.Liu Shang also received various special trainings before coming to Haihan. He thinks that his psychological quality is quite good, and his loyalty to Daming is also flawless, but when he really came to Haihan, he saw the customs and society of this emerging country After the situation, Liu Shang's psychology inevitably undergoes subtle changes.From the beginning of his belief in his mission, to now he has doubts about the correctness of some important decisions of Daming. Such thinking has actually violated his professional principles.
In fact, Liu Shang himself knows that many of the thoughts in his mind are outrageous, but he can't help but think about these aspects.He has already realized that it is impossible to solve the Haihan regime by off-the-spot means, and the war cannot guarantee Da Ming's victory. Regardless of whether it is trade sanctions or military means, Da Ming can at least have some effective solutions, so that he will not be as helpless as he is now.
The best way is naturally to emulate Haihan, but these social systems of Haihan cannot be realized in Daming at all, which is really a very desperate thing.Liu Shang followed the team to complete the inspection of the collective farm in a sullen mood, and the discussion between Qiu Yuan and Yu Xiaobao on the immigration of Liaodong also ended in vain, but Yu Xiaobao still recorded Qiu Yuan's request. Whether or not the immigration quota will be adjusted to give Haikou more northern immigrants is beyond his influence.
