Chapter 1377 Big Trouble

Su Yu's expression was still not relaxed, and he shook his head and said, "It's not a question of hypotheses, brother Liu, you don't have deep contact with this business, and you don't know how much the stakes are involved here."

Liu Shang responded with some disapproval: "Although the military is difficult to deal with, they are strictly restrained by military regulations, and they can't do things too out of line. The people who handle them are just low-level officers, and how much influence can they have?" ?”

"It would be easy if only the military was involved, but the problem is that it's not just the military involved..." Su Yu was hesitant to speak.

Liu Shangwen thought to himself that he only knew about the immigration affairs and didn't know why, and he could inquire about the secrets. Although it was not a military secret of great significance, if he could understand the secrets, it might be of great help to his career as an official in the future. Tao will also help.Immediately, he asked Su Yu: "Brother Su, can you give me some advice? Maybe I can help you think about how to deal with it."

Su Yu didn't refuse. After sighing, he began to tell Liu Shang some of the situation during this period.

Immigration affairs are an important national policy for Haihan. In addition to the immigration officers who handle the affairs, there are also many people in the country who depend on this industry to survive.For example, the shipping company that specializes in transporting immigrants between Daming and Haihan, the dental agency that introduces jobs to new immigrants in various places, and the construction team that builds villages for immigrants, etc. The scale of this industry is not even much worse than some mainstream industries. The benefits are also considerable.There are officially licensed business content, and naturally there are some dark corners that hide huge gray interests.

Although these non-public underground industrial chains are not well known to people outside the industry, there are quite a few vested interests involved, and these people are often inextricably linked with the upper classes of society, and Not such an easy object to eradicate.Moreover, the competent departments also need the existence of these gray industries to deal with some problems that are inconvenient for the officials to come forward.

Although the immigration affairs in Shandong have always been managed by the military, they also have to connect with the downstream immigration industry. For example, the registration of immigrants’ data during their stay in Shandong will involve their whereabouts, distribution, and living conditions after they arrive in Zhoushan. Remuneration and subsidy distribution standards, etc., and there is a lot of room for manipulation left to the handler.However, after the replacement of the person in charge in Shandong, all the intermediate links will be interrupted.

In Shandong, it may be just the turnover of individual positions, but for practitioners in the downstream of the industrial chain, it may be shaking.The resulting economic benefits will also be enormous.In other words, this work handover will not only affect the interests of the parties in Shandong, but will also affect Zhejiang thousands of miles away and other areas where immigrants will be assigned.

Liu Shang was also quite surprised after hearing this. He knew that the immigration industry was a lot of money, but he didn't expect that it would be so involved.After pondering for a moment, he said: "The reason why you are so involved is probably because this is the entrance passage for immigrants from the north?"

"That's right!" Su Yu nodded in agreement with Liu Shang's statement: "At present, more than [-]% of the new immigrants recruited from the north and sent to the south in our country are handled by the Shandong base. In the past year, although the source of immigrants has increased The area of ​​Phi Island is also handled by the Shandong base. Tens of thousands of immigrants enter the territory of Haihan from here every year, and the immigration agencies and relevant practitioners in the south are all watching this place. A little trouble, in the industry There will be a reaction from within.”

"But it's not good to put all the blame on you alone, right? After all, you're just taking orders from your boss, and you're just here to perform tasks." After Liu Shang heard this, he couldn't help feeling a little bit aggrieved for Su Yu.

This kind of troublesome task is not easy for anyone's turn, and Su Yu is just an unlucky guy who happened to meet him. Even if he is very clear about the conflict of interests, he can't change anything by himself.Liu Shang is not a member of the relevant department, so it is even more impossible to intervene in it to solve the problem for Su Yu.Apart from being able to say some words of comfort, Liu Shang really can't do much in this matter.

"Let's take one step at a time!" Su Yu murmured in a low mood.

Although Liu Shang and Su Yu got along very well, the friendship between the two of them was only at the level of colleagues with a good relationship. I'm afraid, and it's unlikely to have a deep friendship with people at this stage.So the two of them talked to this extent, so they didn't continue talking.Liu Shang himself has a lot of preparations to do. Although the work he is responsible for does not involve many interests like immigration, it is related to politics, and he dare not neglect it in the slightest.

On the second day after arriving at Zhifu Island, Liu Shang started his official work.He and several colleagues went directly to the garrison headquarters to find the officer Tan Wei whom he had met the day before, and discussed with him the handover procedures for related work.

Qin Wei is currently a second lieutenant and serves as the director of the political affairs department of the Shandong Military Region. He is an official in charge of political affairs and propaganda affairs in the military secondary school.Haihan did not have a dedicated propaganda team in the local cadre allocation before, so the related civil affairs were also managed by Qin Wei's department.This time, the northbound team included both political cadres like Liu Shang and full-time staff members of the Propaganda Department, so the work previously entrusted by Qin Wei had to be entrusted to them to take over.

"The local propaganda work may be somewhat different from when you were in Hainan Island. The people here still have certain doubts and wariness about our existence, and some people even still regard us as invaders." Qin Wei said in the handover Before starting work, he briefly introduced the local situation to Liu Shang and others: "So our focus here is still to eliminate the hostility of the people of Ming Dynasty towards us, and encourage them to contact our country for trade and cultural exchanges. Of course the most important thing is The most important thing is to let them understand our country's immigration policy and try our best to recruit them to go south to develop in our country."

"Second Lieutenant Qin, will the hostility you mentioned pose a threat to us?" Someone asked with concern.

Qin Wei responded: "We will give a safe zone. It is best for you to move within the range we have set for you in the near future. The people in this area are basically those who intend to immigrate or have already taken refuge in us. It's relatively good, and generally there is no danger."

"During the meeting yesterday, I heard that there was a case of assassinating the chief in the occupied area not long ago. What's going on, can Second Lieutenant Tan tell us about it?" Someone immediately asked another more pointed question.

Tan Wei smiled and said: "It seems that someone really drank too much yesterday and talked about everything... There is indeed an assassination case, but our security measures are very complete, and we have already learned about the other party's action plan before they do it. , and arranged an ambush in advance to wipe them all out. This is not an issue of security in the occupied area. It was an assassin sent by the Dengzhou Ming Army, which can only be regarded as an emergency. Afterwards, we also gave Dengzhou some small Small lessons to make sure they don't try this type of stupidity again."

More than half a month has passed since the assassination incident in Majiazhuang. Of course, this incident is not a secret. Haihan took the opportunity to retaliate after the incident and severely ransacked the horse farm of the Dengzhou Ming army.Due to a guilty conscience, Dengzhou didn't dare to take any further actions in the future, for fear of angering Haihan and making the situation worse.After this incident happened, Haihan posted notices widely inside and outside the occupied area. Although he did not name the mastermind behind the scenes, it was still a warning. At that time, the content of these Anmin notices was drafted by Tan Wei himself.

This matter is the envoy of the Dengzhou government, and it is different from the people's resistance to Haihan. Seeing that someone asked about it, Tan Wei simply explained the matter, so that these new civil affairs officials would not be confused by the local situation. misunderstanding.

Although these people, including Liu Shang, were all from Ming Dynasty, but this time when they came to Shandong, they appeared as Haihan officials. Tan Wei just wanted to remind them, don't think that you are Han and will be dismissed by the local people. Treat them as compatriots, and don't think that the people here agree with the Haihan people in the presence of the Haihan Army in Daming territory.

Liu Shang has done research on Haihan's "invasion history" in Daming, and he knows that this is an inevitable phenomenon in the early days of Haihan's occupation. After staying for a few more years, the people in these areas will probably be proud of having another identity up.Similar situations often occur in Fuzhou and Guangxi, and now Zhejiang has to be added. After the first batch of local people who defected to Haihan tasted the sweetness, more and more people will choose to rely on Haihan for survival. The wind direction of public opinion will naturally and slowly change, and Haihan's role will gradually transition from "invader" to "ruler". At that time, even if these people under Haihan's rule return to Daming, they will Most of them won't be happy either.

As for the focus of the publicity work aimed at these people, Liu Shang had already received relevant training when he was in Sanya. It was nothing more than highlighting Haihan’s country, peace and security, strong military force, and generous benefits, etc., so that the public could understand the similarities and differences between Daming and Haihan. At the same time, try to erase Haihan's "invasion of Ming Dynasty" as much as possible, and publicize these land occupation and colonization behaviors as "cooperation between the two countries" to eliminate the hostility in the hearts of the people.

These publicity measures are all Haihan’s past experience in overseas colonies, and there are special and targeted publicity methods for the mentality of the people of all classes, and their effects are beyond doubt.However, officers like Tan Wei only learned the theory of military political work, and this kind of publicity work aimed at civilians is relatively unfamiliar. Even if Liu Shang and others are newcomers, they must have more solid theories than an officer like him. .

While making an introduction, Qin Wei answered various questions raised by Liu Shang and others, and at the same time pointed out the scope of Haihan's existing control area on the map.Although Liu Shang has never been to Shandong, he may have looked at the map of the Shandong Peninsula thousands of times on the road, and he is not at all unfamiliar with the place names pointed out by Tan Wei.

It took Haihan a year to occupy about one county in Dengzhou. This efficiency does not seem to be high.However, considering the distance from Haihan's mainland and the original owners of these areas, Haihan's move is worthy of awe.

Liu Shang remembered that he had heard the introduction from the military yesterday that the main force of the Shandong garrison had already crossed the sea to fight in Liaodong. The area should be far more than this one county in Fushan County.It can be inferred from this that Haihan still maintains a relatively restrained attitude towards Daming, just taking advantage of it, but has no real intention of invading or even subverting Daming.

After the interview with Tan Wei lasted all morning, Qin Wei took the initiative to stop the conversation and was going to take Liu Shang and others to the cafeteria for lunch.But at this moment, there was a commotion outside, Tan Wei signaled Liu Shang and the others to wait, and he got up and went out to check.

After a while, Tan Wei came back with a rather ugly expression on his face.Seeing this, Liu Shang took the initiative to ask, and Tan Wei shook his head and said: "I don't know what happened, the colleague in charge of immigration affairs had a dispute with the civil affairs cadres in your northward team, and it seemed to be quite serious."

Liu Shang immediately thought of Su Yu who lived with him, and hurriedly asked, "But someone named Su?"

"It seems to be." Tan Wei nodded and replied, "I saw that the gendarmerie had already gone, so I didn't go in."

Liu Shang's heart sank. He knew that the Gendarmerie was a very special branch of the Haihan Army. Its function was to maintain military discipline and deal with military violations.Generally speaking, the gendarmerie will only be seen when soldiers violate discipline or commit crimes.This Su Yu was still talking to himself last night that this job was a hot potato, and something happened today.

"Wait in the house first. Right now the gendarmerie has sealed the entrance and exit. We'll go eat after they're done with it." Tan Wei seemed quite calm. Anyway, he has nothing to do with this matter, so he just needs to wait patiently. it is good.

Liu Shang's mood was a little restless, and he wondered if this guy Su Yu was really so unlucky that he had an accident just the next day after arriving in Shandong.

After waiting for a long time, the gendarmerie that was dealing with affairs outside finally left, and Tan Wei took Liu Shang and others to the cafeteria for dinner.During this period, Liu Shang finally heard the inside story of the conflict that happened in the morning.

The matter was mainly caused by immigration affairs. It is said that when Su Yu handed over the work to the military chief, the other party refused to provide the detailed list and registration information of the immigrants who received subsidies in the past year, but Su Yu did not get the information. He refused to sign the relevant handover documents.After the two sides argued for a long time, the person in charge of the military finally couldn't hold back his temper and beat Su Yu with his hands. As a result, the military police were called in.

After hearing this, Liu Shang couldn't help thinking to himself: "This Su Yu...was so timid yesterday, but in the end he caused a lot of trouble!"
