Majiazhuang Immigrant Camp
Chapter 1383 Majiazhuang Immigrant Camp
Liu Shang originally wanted to find an opportunity to apply for a job in the military from high-level military officials. He had already figured out how to mention this to Tan Wei, and Tan Wei would apply on his behalf.However, he didn't expect that he would have been noticed by the military's top management, and had made specific work arrangements. A few days ago, Chen Yixin was not in a hurry to talk to him alone, probably because he was secretly observing his work performance.Although the arrangement of going to the immigration camp was not to his liking, having the opportunity to gain a positive and capable impression from Chen Yixin might have unexpected benefits for his future career development.
After Liu Shang turned this thought in his mind, he also felt a little surprised. Unknowingly, he subconsciously considered his official career in Haihan as a life plan more and more frequently.Even though he often used the excuse of "gathering intelligence" to convince himself, but in fact, after calming down and thinking about it, he could understand, so what if he collected Haihan's military and political intelligence, could it be used in exchange for Daming's fame and fortune?
In fact, Liu Shang is very clear that the longer the contact with Daming's intelligence agency is cut off, the less likely it is that he will return to Daming in the future.If the time limit passed, even if he returned to Daming to reveal his undercover identity, it would be difficult to gain trust again, and the possibility of being regarded as a double agent might be even greater.Compared with this kind of desperate life, the benefits of being an official in Haihan become more and more prominent. Even if it is just a small official sent to a "remote area" now, the upward trend in the future is predictable, and there is no need to Use your life to fight for this wealth, as long as you finish the job at hand in a down-to-earth manner.
Which of these two roads is better or worse, Liu Shang is not a fool, naturally he has already seen it clearly, but there has been no opportunity for him to make up his mind.Even if his colleagues who were lurking in Sanya died in a shipwreck, it still failed to make him completely give up his original identity and mission.In fact, he didn't know what kind of opportunity he was waiting for, but he would inevitably follow his past habits and try to collect information.
Although the errands in the immigration camp are not challenging, the difficulty of getting started is much lower for Liu Shang, and there is almost no need for an adaptation period.He may be more familiar with the rules and regulations that new immigrants need to understand than the officers in charge of affairs before. After all, when he first arrived in Sanya, his main daily activity was to listen to the propagandists telling the good news over and over again. Haihan's immigration policy and various regulations.And this method has been proved to be extremely effective in many years of practice. Nowadays, the same operation is carried out in various overseas immigration points, and Shandong is naturally no exception.
Chen Yixin was very satisfied with Liu Shang's attitude, nodded and continued: "As you can see, Majiazhuang is a small temporary resettlement site, and the immigrants accepted here will be sent to Zhifu one after another after the primary selection. On the other side of the island, we are waiting for the shipping department to arrange a sailing schedule to send them to the south. I believe you should be more familiar with what to do with immigrants at this stage than I am."
Majiazhuang is regarded as the first-line institution for receiving immigrants, while the immigrant camp on Zhifu Island is a transit center. The more propaganda the immigrants receive at the front-line institution, the easier it will be to arrange them later.Especially in the case of Shandong immigrants who need to migrate across regions and long distances, if the situation is not clearly explained to the immigrants during the recruitment and reception stage, it is easy to cause some unnecessary misunderstandings during the transportation stage.This is why the immigration agency should be equipped with experienced and capable propagandists. With their assistance, the work of the civil affairs department can be at least [-]% easier.
When Chen Yixin was in charge of civil affairs, there were far from enough professionals in all aspects on hand, and many positions could only be temporarily filled by military officers, and the work effect must not be as good as that of professionals.In addition, after the last assassination case came out, the Ministry of Security has been investigating the loopholes in the work of the immigration, and the relevant personnel have more or less carried some suspicions.And the cadres who came to the north just at this time had a much cleaner background, especially Su Yu, who was sent by the Ministry of Civil Affairs, kicked out the shady problems in the immigration work within a few days after arriving in Shandong, which made Chen Yixin even more determined. He made up his mind to hand over relevant affairs to the cadres going north.
The candidate recommended by Yu Xiaobao should be relatively reliable in Chen Yixin's opinion.Although Liu Shang's qualifications for naturalization in Haihan are only more than half a year, he has been favored by the Propaganda Department and the Youth League one after another, and he has also followed the inspection team around the island to perform official duties. Such experience is enough to prove that this person's professional ability is not bad , and has shown enough loyalty for the official to trust it.Even so, Chen Yixin carefully observed for several days first, and it was not until yesterday that he decided to activate Liu Shang.
Because Liu Shang's cooperation was high enough, Chen Yixin didn't need to spend more time explaining the work content to him in detail, so he immediately asked: "If you have no other questions, then you can start working as soon as possible."
Liu Shangying said: "There is only one problem with the humble job. How should we deal with the political work that was handed over to the Zhifu Island military camp before?"
Chen Yixin waved his hand and said, "You don't have to worry about this, I've already said hello to Tan Wei. You should grab the work in Majiazhuang first, and it won't be too late to take over other affairs after the publicity work here is on track."
Liu Shang quickly agreed, and he was not sure whether Chen Yixin wanted to use this to test himself again, or whether he had any longer-term plans, but at present, he only had to obey orders, and he was not qualified to question the work arrangements of senior officials.
Chen Yixin called an orderly to come in and asked Liu Shang to report to the immigration camp with him, so that he didn't have to write any letter of introduction to Liu Shang, and the orderly would do it verbally.
The orderly took Liu Shang to the place, called the steward and introduced Liu Shang's identity and mission, and the mission was considered completed.The person in charge of managing this immigrant camp is a man named Ma Bo, a native of Majiazhuang, the nephew of Ma Dongqiang, the head of the Ma clan, who has a little connection with Chen Yixin, the son-in-law of the Ma family, based on his seniority.He was able to get this errand, naturally, mainly because of his status.In fact, in many institutions inside and outside Majiazhuang, many errands are indeed taken care of by members of the Ma clan.
Ma Bo used to be considered a small landlord, with more than 200 mu of land under his name, several long-term workers, and a yard with three entrances.After Haihan took over here, the Ma clan saw the situation and joined the new owner one after another, and Ma Bo was no exception, but he didn't have any business acumen, so he finally took the job of managing the immigrant camp.Although it is not a fat job, in this world, being protected by a strong man like Haihan is far more reliable than having mountains of gold and silver at home.And he also got Haihan's promise that in the future his family will move to the south, and the land they can get will be several times that of Shandong.With this back road, Ma Bo doesn't have to worry about being settled by the Daming government for his work for Haihan.
Although in terms of seniority, Ma Bo and Chen Yixin are of the same generation, but he does not dare to put on airs in front of Haihan officials, even if this new official is not an authentic Haihan, he is obviously naturalized halfway, and he has not even cut his hair He did not dare to neglect even the naturalized Han Chinese.After all, there is still a fundamental difference in identity between the naturalized Haihan official and a non-staff-identified person like him.
While leading the way, Ma Bo said, "Master Liu, I heard that you are a high-ranking official from the capital city of Haihan. If you have time, please tell me, a countryman, the customs and customs of Haihan country, so as not to go to Haihan in the future. country, you can’t even figure out the north, south, east, and west.”
Liu Shang couldn't laugh or cry and said: "Don't listen to the nonsense of the little soldier just now, I'm just an errand official, what a high-ranking official, don't mention the title of an adult again. You and I will work together next time. If Brother Ma doesn't dislike it, Just call me Big Brother Liu."
Liu Shang didn't want to pretend to be a big shot in front of this country rich man, and the orderly who brought him here just now explained Ma Bo's identity on the way. He didn't want the other party to report to Chen Yixin when he turned around. very necessary.But while he lowered his status to win over the relationship, he did not deny that he came from the capital of Haihan, and he still retained a sense of psychological superiority to some extent.
The experience of being in the market all the year round allows Liu Shang to quickly gain the favor of all kinds of people when he faces people of all kinds, especially for a country rich man like Ma Bo who has never seen the big world. In a few words, Ma Bo felt the approachability of the envoy from the capital.Originally, Liu Shang came in a hurry, and he didn't pack his own luggage, and he didn't have a place to live, but Ma Bodang agreed to let Liu Shang live in his house first, and all the daily necessities were new.
In fact, this does not need to be paid by Ma Bo himself. The Majiazhuang Immigrant Camp is a public institution, and the daily consumption of materials and expenses are provided by the Ministry of Civil Affairs. The consumption of one more person is not a big deal. Just get out of one room.Of course, taking this opportunity to win over the relationship is the fundamental reason why Ma Bo is so enthusiastic and proactive.
Liu Shang's thoughts were deeper. He was thinking that Chen Yixin even sent a carriage to the pier to pick him up. How could he forget to arrange accommodation for him? He was probably deliberately giving Ma Bo a chance to perform.Of course, he would definitely not refuse Ma Bo's kindness, otherwise, in these cold days, why would he spend the night huddling with immigrants?
The scale of this immigrant camp is small, only five rows of tile-roofed houses, each row of ten rooms, according to the design standard, each room can accommodate ten people, and the immigration capacity of the entire camp is about 500 people.Auxiliary facilities such as toilets, canteens, and bathhouses are all built in a unified manner, and a fence is built around the perimeter to isolate this place from Majiazhuang.
However, it has already entered winter, and qualified immigrants have been transferred to Zhifu Island to wait for the next step of distribution. At present, there are less than 300 immigrants temporarily living here.According to Ma Bo's introduction, about 100 of them are new immigrants who have just completed the check-in procedures recently.Most of these people came from the nearby counties of Wendeng, Rongcheng, Rushan, Mouping, Haiyang, Laiyang, Zhaoyuan, etc., and a few came from the counties of Lonely, Pingdu, Changyi, Gaomi, etc. in Laizhou Prefecture.
When Haihan first arrived in Shandong, there were even refugees fleeing from Qingzhou Prefecture, Yanzhou Prefecture, Jinan Prefecture and other places farther away. However, as the situation in Shandong has stabilized recently, the number of refugees from all over the country has gradually increased. reduce.Temporary resettlement sites like Majiazhuang are rarely overcrowded anymore.
Due to the lack of professional management personnel, the daily order in the camp was only managed by a few long-term workers under Ma Bo, and the main means they used to restrict immigration was daily food.Those who do not abide by the rules will be punished by withholding food.As for mistakes that are more serious or even related to public security, they will be handed over to the nearby Haihan garrison to solve them.
"How does the military generally punish those restless people?" Liu Shang asked with interest.He himself had stayed in an immigration camp before, but he also knew that the situation in different immigration camps was different. For example, since the immigration camp in Majiazhuang was managed by the military before, it was obvious that it would not manage it with ordinary means.
Ma Bo responded: "It's much easier for military men to do things. If you don't obey the rules and don't want to repent, then just clean them out."
"It's over after you get out?" Liu Shang doesn't believe that the military's management will be so simple and rough. If these refugees who enter the Haihan occupied area are not controlled, they will soon become a hidden danger to the local public security.Haihan has very rich experience in immigration operations, so logically speaking, he would not make such a low-level mistake.
"No, they were sent to Fushan Copper Mine to be a miner." After Ma Bo finished speaking, he asked again: "Brother Liu, do you know this place?"
"I know, I know." Liu Shang nodded in response.
According to the information he received before setting off in Sanya, Haihan chose Fushan County as his base in Shandong. One of the reasons was that there were large copper mines available for mining.Obviously, the labor force needed to mine mineral deposits will not be a small amount. Haihan throws those unruly refugees to mine, which is in line with their usual practice-most of the prisoners sentenced to imprisonment in Haihan's country are also sent to the mine. To do hard labor in a mine or something.
Ma Bo went on to say: "Generally speaking, these people who are sent to the mine are unlikely to come back in a short period of time, so this method can scare people. But according to my uncle... According to Chief Chen's intention, it is still We should try our best to let these refugees understand Haihan Country's immigration policy, so as to reduce the situation of committing mistakes due to ignorance."
Now that Chen Yixin was mentioned, Liu Shang naturally echoed his praise: "Chief Chen is young and promising, and he can sympathize with the suffering of the people. He is indeed a model for our generation to learn from."
