Chapter 1382 New Mission
Before Liu Shang's idea was put into practice, the military took the initiative to find him first.On the second day of the celebration banquet, someone from the army came and informed Liu Shang to meet Chen Yixin to discuss work arrangements.
Before that, Chen Yixin was an official in charge of civil affairs in the Shandong occupied area. Although the arrival of the cadre team from the north took up most of the work for him, he still couldn't let go of all the work for a while. The handover arrangement also needs to be handled by him personally.Liu Shang guessed that the other party summoned him, mostly because he had to explain the work arrangements related to his responsibilities face to face, so he didn't dare to neglect him immediately, so he hurriedly followed the person to see Chen Yixin.
However, Chen Yixin was not on Zhifu Island. After attending the celebration banquet yesterday, he rushed back to Majiazhuang overnight.He is newly married now, and this occasion of drinking and having fun is still far less comfortable than a beautiful wife and a hot kang at home.So unless there is a major official business delaying the trip, under normal circumstances he will go back to his house in Majiazhuang to spend the night.And Liu Shang had to go to Majiazhuang from Zhifu Island to see him.
The distance between these two places is not far, but the fastest way to go is to take a boat from the west port of Zhifu Island to the west bank of the Jiahe Estuary in Fushan County. It is necessary to cross the Jiahe River, but the downstream channel is not completely frozen yet. To cross the river, one has to go around the upper reaches of Fushan County and make a big detour, which is a lot of trouble.Fortunately, Liu Shang is traveling on official business, and there will be corresponding arrangements along the way, which can save a lot of trouble.
Heading out and about after a snowstorm is never going to be a pleasant task.Although the snow on the road is not too thick, the slowly melting snow and ice slag are enough to make the road slippery and muddy, making walking very troublesome.Chen Yixin's status is distinguished, and there is a carriage to pick him up when he goes out, so it is naturally impossible for Liu Shang to enjoy such treatment.But fortunately, the cavalry battalion has gained a lot recently. Hundreds of horses came out on Zhifu Island at once, and the military's use of horses has been relaxed a lot. A section of the road can be ridden across.Although it was just an ordinary pack horse, it was much better than walking, and it would not get wet and muddy.
After arriving at the West Port of Zhifu Island, there are traffic boats on the wharf that go to the west bank of the Jiahe River. However, due to the consideration of efficiency, the frequency of the traffic boats is relatively small. Although Liu Shang has official duties, he can only wait patiently. Leave on the next flight.The port conditions of the West Port itself are not as good as those of the Eastern Port, which is the main port of Zhifu Island, so the degree of development and construction is relatively limited. The only two piers are mainly used to pick up and drop off people between Zhifu Island and the coastal area west of Jiahe, Fushan County. And for fishing boats operating in the nearby waters to dock.
There is a small shed on the pier, and now the doors and windows are covered with straw mats, leaving only a small gap for ventilation.There is a pot of charcoal fire in the shed for the people waiting for the boat to warm up by the fire.In the freezing season, there is such a place to shelter from the wind on the seaside pier, which can be regarded as a good way to take care of the objective needs of people passing by.People like Liu Shang who have been living in warm southern regions, if they don't have such a shed, even if they are wearing thick cotton jackets, they will still be frozen by the icy cold wind soon.
People who would go out from Zhifu Island to Fushan County in this weather are almost all because of official business. Everyone went out to share the same illness. After Liu Shang and the messenger leading the way entered the shed, the people inside took the initiative to move. Moving their feet gave way to two seats so that they could get close to the brazier to keep warm.After Liu Shang thanked him softly, he leaned forward and stretched out his hands, letting the hot air warm his already stiff hands.
Liu Shang was originally a wanderer, and on this occasion, he soon became acquainted with the few people waiting for the boat here.As he expected, these few unfamiliar faces were not officials from the civil affairs department, but members of the military.As for the tasks that he was performing, Liu Shang was very knowledgeable and didn't inquire too much. As a civilian official, he still couldn't show his interest in the military too blatantly.Everyone discussed the recent weather changes without saying a word, and they all tacitly did not mention their respective tasks.
After waiting for about an hour, the traffic boat came from the sea and took a few people back to Zhifu Island.Liu Shang was about to go out to get on the boat, but someone in the room stopped him: "Don't worry, the boat won't leave right away, let's warm up for a while before going out on the boat."
It was obviously not the first time for the speaker to take a boat here, and Liu Shang heard that it made sense, so he waited for about a stick of incense, and only followed when he saw that everyone else had set off to go out.
This traffic boat is a small sloop, no more than three feet long, and can carry no more than 20 people.Sure enough, not long after everyone boarded the boat, the boatman propped the boat away from the pier with bamboo poles and sailed slowly westward.It is only five or six nautical miles from Xigang to the pier on the west bank of the Jiahe estuary, but the speed of this small sailboat is really not fast enough, so it can only move forward slowly.Fortunately, there is also a brazier in the only cabin on the ship, so there is no need to worry about freezing in the sea breeze.
After landing, there was actually a carriage waiting for Liu Shang's arrival. After asking, it turned out that Chen Yixin had specially sent it here to pick him up.Although Liu Shang's position has been vacillating, he still feels a little proud of being able to receive such courtesy when he first arrived in Shandong.The other people who came on the same boat did not have such treatment, so they had to go to a nearby stable to apply for a horse to ride away.This is also thanks to the recent seizure of a large number of horses by the Haihan army, and the construction of horse sheds at various docks in the occupied area to facilitate quick transfers of public servants when they are out.Otherwise, according to the original practice, all of them can only go to the destination on foot after landing, and only a few personnel with urgent military affairs can be equipped with horses.
Chen Yixin got into the carriage and came to Majiazhuang with peace of mind.Before that, he had heard from Tan Wei that there was an assassination case planned and carried out by the Ming army in Majiazhuang, but with the cooperation of the Ministry of Security and the military, the assassins were wiped out without any chance. .After getting off the car and seeing this peaceful village, it is difficult to connect it with the assassination case two months ago.
Although it has snowed several times, as Haihan's comprehensive command center and trade distribution center in Fushan County, this place is still relatively busy, even busier than Fushan County at this moment.
Majiazhuang is located near the official road between Fushan County and Dengzhou City. After Haihan occupied Fushan County, the road was renovated and the Fushan Copper Mine was also connected to this traffic artery.In this way, the goods exported from Haihan to the local area, the local specialties and immigrant population supplied to Haihan, as well as the output of the mine, almost all pass through Majiazhuang for transit.
As a result, the flow of vehicles and people passing through Majiazhuang has greatly increased, and there are a few days of relatively concentrated delivery periods every month. The scene here can even be described as a rush of traffic.Although Liu Shang did not catch up with the busiest few days here, there are still several convoys loading and unloading goods in the large freight yard outside Zhuangzi.
Liu Shang really wanted to see how the trade was going on here, but now he had a mission and didn't dare to waste time, so he followed the messenger who led the way to the office building honestly.
After going up to the second floor, Liu Shang noticed that the walls, doors and windows here were all newly painted, and the smell of paint could be faintly smelled.He remembered that at the banquet yesterday, he had heard some details about the actions of the Majiazhuang assassination case. It is said that Chen Yixin personally killed several assassins on the second floor of this office building. The layer of paint is to cover the various traces left by the battle that day.
After the briefing, Liu Shang entered Chen Yixin's office in awe. Chen Yixin looked up at him, then pointed to the chair in the room and motioned him to sit down: "Wait while I read this document first."
Liu Shang hurriedly responded: "Chief, you should be busy first, just wait for the lowly position." After speaking, he didn't sit down, and stood obediently in the middle of the room and waited.
Chen Yixin probably saw this kind of reaction too much, so he didn't care about it, and continued to read the file on his own.After waiting for a while, he put down the file and pointed to the chair again: "Sit down and talk."
This time Liu Shang didn't refuse again, and sat down with his butt on the edge of the chair, waiting for Chen Yixin to speak.
Seeing Liu Shang's humble performance, Chen Yixin seemed quite satisfied: "After you guys set off from Sanya, I specially sent a telegram back to ask who can use it. Yu Xiaobao recommended you to me and said You have rich social experience and are safe in handling things.”
Liu Shang quickly responded: "Your Excellency really praises the lowly position too much. The lowly position is just a grassroots background. The adults have given this job. Naturally, they have to work hard to be worthy of this trust."
He couldn't help but sigh in his heart that Yu Xiaobao is really his noble person, it's nothing more than taking care of him when he was in Sanya, but now that he is so far away from Sanya, he still paves the way for him and recommends him, this is really a great favor that cannot be repaid.
Chen Yixin corrected: "You are doing things for the country, not for any boss, you must remember clearly!"
"Yes, yes, it's a slip of the tongue, chief!" Liu Shang knew that there was something wrong with what he said, so he quickly admitted his mistake.Haihan is very particular about political correctness, and this kind of gaffe may affect his impression in the other party's mind.
Chen Yixin did not use the topic to continue to teach him, but said to get back to business: "Yu Xiaobao said that you were born as an immigrant, and later joined the propaganda department to work, and you are more familiar with propaganda work, especially publicity activities. The situation in Shandong just happens to lack officials with strong practical ability like you, so I am going to give you an errand, let's see if you can do it well!"
Liu Shang has been dealing with Haihan officials for a long time. After hearing these words, he knew that Chen Yixin was not asking for his own opinion, but was assigning tasks to himself. At this time, he should express his determination and strive for a good impression. up.
"Thanks to the trust of the chief, I will try my best to complete the task!" Liu Shang quickly stood up and replied firmly.However, he was thinking in his heart that since Chen Yixin mentioned the propaganda work, there must not be too much personal risk, and he should not cause any trouble by expressing his determination.
Chen Yixin seemed to have seen through the small calculation in his heart, and then continued: "Don't be excited, I am not sending you to the battlefield to kill the enemy, and there will be no danger, but I will arrange for you an errand that suits your strengths. "
After Chen Yixin finished speaking, he stood up, went to the window and opened the curtains, beckoning Liu Shang to stand beside him.Liu Shang bowed quickly and walked quickly to the side, looking out the window in the direction he pointed.
"Look, there are a few neat rows of bungalows over there, which are the immigrant reception centers we set up in Fushan County. Since we came to Dengzhou, there has been a steady stream of immigrants who have come to seek refuge with us. In order to provide these immigrants with a stable We built such a reception center to keep them from freezing and starving while waiting for distribution." Chen Yixin introduced to him.
The place Chen Yixin mentioned is only a hundred feet away from Majiazhuang. Liu Shang is not unfamiliar with such a building, because it is the appearance of Haihan's standard immigrant temporary residence.Sanya, Zhoushan, every port and overseas colony he visited in Haihan had such institutions, and there was even a larger immigrant camp on Zhifu Island not far from here.Of course, even he himself had spent some time in this kind of immigration institution when he first arrived in Haihan, so he was extremely familiar with it.
"Our country's establishment of such institutions to help the poor refugees of Ming Dynasty is a benevolent act and a blessing to the people!" Liu Shang boasted a few words without losing the opportunity: "Humble job also stayed in the immigration camp at the beginning. I feel kind."
What Chen Yixin meant by pointing out the immigrant camp to him, Liu Shang actually already had some idea in his mind.Although returning to work in the immigration camp was not what he really wanted to do, but if this was what a big man like Chen Yixin wanted, then he'd better cooperate as much as possible.In this way, at least you can win a little favor and get some impression points for your future development.
Sure enough, Chen Yixin was very satisfied with Liu Shangzhi's wise and interesting attitude, raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder and said, "It would be great if you have such an idea. Immigrants conduct policy presentations to let them know about their future prospects and treatment, as well as Haihan’s attitude towards immigrants and life arrangements. You have worked in the Propaganda Department before, so these jobs should be familiar to you, right?”
Liu Shang bowed slightly and replied: "This is exactly the job of a humble official. The head chief can rest assured to entrust this job to the humble official."
