Dongjiang Immigrant Village

Chapter 1459 Dongjiang Immigrant Village

Haihan's familiarity with resettlement work is no less than their military literacy. In the past nine years, he has established no less than ten colonies outside Hainan Island, and accumulated rich practical experience during this period.Although the plain in the northwest of Lushun has only been demarcated and demarcated, it has not prevented Haihan from formulating a set of infrastructure plans tailored for the people of Dongjiang Town.

Haihan planned ten immigrant villages and two central towns for the residence of Dongjiang Town. Except for two of these towns, which were rebuilt on the basis of old towns that were abandoned during the post-Jin occupation, the rest of the immigrant villages had to be rebuilt from scratch. Jian Qi, this workload cannot be completed in three to five days.The first batch of more than 2000 laborers sent from Dongjiang Town is very efficient if they can build one or two villages within half a month.

Due to time pressure, the time-consuming and labor-intensive brick and tile houses do not need to be considered at all. Even quarrying and logging are under manpower. At present, there is not enough manpower to build a brick and tile kiln. The hut structure is predominant.Considering that the weather is gradually getting warmer, and the insulation performance requirements of the houses are not so high, the design plan prepared by the Ministry of Construction is based on the most common boat-shaped houses in the southern colonies, with local forests as the main building materials. After settling in, the walls are treated to meet winter insulation needs.

Liu Shanxia from the Ministry of Construction hurried back from the Jinzhou Isthmus on the day the immigrants arrived in Lushun. He had been watching the construction progress at the bastion construction site in the north a few days ago, but the resettlement work in the rear was equally important. I can only rush back first, spend two or three days guiding the infrastructure work in the resettlement area, and then go back to the north to watch the defense line reconstruction project.

However, this time Pidao also sent a lot of professional civil craftsmen, so Liu Shanxia only needs to let them understand the drawings drawn by Haihan, and then instruct them to do it according to the plan.According to the previous operating experience, it takes half a day to explain and one day to practice, which is almost enough.Of course, before you start building the house, you have to get the required building materials ready.

Therefore, after the migrants arrived at their destination, they only got a very short rest period, and then they were organized to log in the nearby mountains and forests.Fortunately, these people know that what they are doing now is building their own homes, and they are still very motivated to work, and they have not shown much resistance.At this time, even those who had doubts about Haihan's arrangement chose to obey temporarily and joined the labor force with enthusiasm.

There are more than 01 sets of temporary houses to be built in each village, and the required building materials are not at 30:2000. Fortunately, the nearby forest resources are very rich. It can't cut down all the trees around it.More than a dozen impromptu logging teams used big axes and saws to work in the forest, while the rest began to clear the ground, dig foundations, build roads and drainage facilities in the designated area.

Hundreds of tents are densely set up on the fields outside the village's planned area.Most of these migrants will have to live in tents until temporary housing is built to a certain size.Like the food aid they received, these tents were also temporarily borrowed by Haihan, and they were all military canvas tents.

Outside the tent community, you can see a row of earthen stoves built by the migrants with adobe. Since the current food rationing system is implemented, the daily source of food for the migrants is the collective canteen set up here.Among their daily rations, the relatively high-cost white rice is provided every two days, and other coarse grains such as potatoes, corn, and beans are the main food. The meat is basically salted fish, and the migrants occasionally hunt in the forest. Killed game such as rabbits, deer, pheasants, etc., will also be brought back to the cafeteria as a snack.

Two days after the official start of the infrastructure project of the immigrant village, Sha Xi and Chen Yixin also came here to observe the construction progress.Of course, Chen Yixin is not so enthusiastic about the construction progress of the immigrant village. He is more concerned about whether these newcomers have followed the instructions of the Haihan foremen, and whether they will cause some trouble for the managers.If he finds that there is any security risk, he has to deal with it in the bud before the attack.

However, Chen Yixin's worry seems to be a little superfluous. Although Dongjiang Town has been down for a long time, it is still a serious military establishment. Most of these people who have been relocated to Liaodong are military family members. The understanding of military orders is still deeper than that of ordinary people.The General Military Mansion had repeatedly warned them to obey Haihan's arrangement when they arrived in Liaodong. In addition, after arriving in Lushun, a few thorns ate a whip at Chen Yixin's place. deterrent effect.After arriving at the station this time, everyone has been assigned extremely heavy labor tasks, and when they are busy, they have no time to think about troubles.

Shaxi's focus is on the internal civil administration system of Dongjiang Town. He is more concerned about whether the military management system of Dongjiang Town has penetrated into the people, which is related to whether the military-civilian separation resettlement plan formulated by Haihan can meet expectations. Effect.Although there is no major incident, Shaxi does not want to have an uncontrolled paramilitary force in his jurisdiction in the future.He has even considered the corresponding countermeasures, that is, try to take over the leaders of all levels in charge of civil affairs in Dongjiang Town, or simply transfer them out of the place, and arrange personnel from Haihan to take over the civil affairs.Although this may cause dissatisfaction or even resistance among the people of Dongjiang Town, Shaxi believes that this is a small trouble, at least much better than not being able to fully control the situation.

But Sha Xi soon discovered that he was just as worried as Chen Yixin. The people sent by Dongjiang Town obviously did not have professional military literacy, and maybe even the standards of the militia were a lot worse. The rules are more familiar.After observing for a while, he simply called out a few random people from the labor force, and had a short conversation one by one to understand the situation of the other party.Although the sample size of this kind of sampling survey is not large, Shaxi quickly learned some valuable information.

In the early years of Dongjiang Town, the main source of troops came from Liaodong. Because of the great external military pressure, it became the norm for military dependents to receive military training.However, since the Jin army went south to occupy the entire territory of the Liaodong mainland and drove Dongjiang Town to the sea, Dongjiang Town, which was in a state of shortage of supplies, had to reduce the regular army establishment as much as possible and reduce the number of daily training in order to save the consumption of combat materials.Later, the food supply became more and more tight, and the situation of food shortages began to appear on the island from time to time, and even the daily training of the regular army was basically interrupted, not to mention the civilian armed organizations.

Later, the Haihan people appeared and provided a lot of supplies to Phi Dao, and finally let Dongjiang Town breathe a sigh of relief.However, in the process of Haihan recruiting immigrants from Phi Island, in addition to a large number of Liaodong refugees who had nowhere to go, many people in Dongjiang Town also chose to rely on the new master to leave the bitter cold of Phi Island. land.In particular, those veterans who have served in the military are the most popular recruits for Haihan.

As long as these people are not physically disabled, and after recalling Haihan to train, they can transform into Haihan to play in just a few months.And the reward they can get for working for Haihan far exceeds the salary of serving in Dongjiang Town. This kind of routine has been handed down among the people, and Haihan has quickly searched for a large number of retired veterans.

In this way, the people who have been staying on Phi Island and have not left have limited military talents, and these people have less desire to participate in the war, otherwise they would have joined the troops of Dongjiang Town, or recruited Haihan. Recruited.However, due to the limited resources at hand, it was difficult for Shen's uncle and nephew to expand the armed forces in Dongjiang Town.The General Bingfu selected a small number of elites from the army and reorganized them according to the Haihan military system, and distributed the weapons provided by Haihan, and the Haihan military advisers practiced the new army.

At present, in theory, Dongjiang Town still maintains a troop establishment of about 4000 people, but in fact, only the new army that Haihan helped Dongjiang Town to train can be drawn out to fight.Other troops can basically only serve as auxiliary troops, responsible for logistics and other tasks.As for the more than 1 people, I am afraid that even a militia group of 300 people will not be able to gather them.

Although Sha Xi has not yet been completely sure that the news he visited is an objective fact, the information at least relaxed his mood a little.Moreover, when he was looking for random access objects, he did not focus on one place, and the stories of several people were basically the same, and their credibility was relatively high.

The officials in charge of civil affairs in Dongjiang Town knew that the two senior Haihan officials who came to inspect the work had extraordinary identities, and their attitudes were also very humble.On the contrary, ordinary people did not know what was special about the identities of these two Haihan officials, and they were a little less awe-inspiring than the officials in Dongjiang Town.

Hearing the news, Liu Shanxia, ​​who rushed over from another construction site, finally arrived. He personally took the two of them to watch the construction of the first immigrant village and explained the current construction arrangements to them.

"You have also seen that even if there is a labor force here, the progress of the project is not going anywhere, so Shaxi, don't expect to be able to recruit people from here. It's much tighter than this place." As soon as Liu Shanxia came up, he pointed out Sha Xi's little abacus.However, Sha Xi didn't take it seriously after being broken, and just smiled in response.

When Haihan built immigrant villages in the colonies, he usually started planning several months in advance, preparing the corresponding building materials and prefabricated parts, etc. Once the construction started, he would build standard simple shacks at an extremely fast speed.The immigrant village assigned to Dongjiang Town did not have time to do much preparation work, let alone make all kinds of prefabricated parts needed to build houses in advance.Even if Haihan had this ability, he would definitely use it in Lushun Fort first. Most of the immigrants who have recently moved into Lushun from Shandong are still living in tents. Shaxi will definitely not use good things. Let the resettlement work in Dongjiang Town.

Therefore, after two days of construction, only the foundation construction of a small part of the house has been completed.The wood harvested from the nearby mountains and forests has to be processed to a certain extent before it can be used for building houses. Even if the dozens of carpenters working here are working hard, it is still difficult to meet the building materials needs on the construction site.

"One step at a time, one step at a time, the cutting and processing of wood has become a bottleneck, which has caused all the construction progress to be slowed down." Liu Shanxia said helplessly: "At the current speed, the construction period may be longer than expected. More than double the time.”

Chen Yixin asked: "Then can you adjust the number of people invested in woodworking and send more people to logging?"

Liu Shanxia said: "Of course I have thought of such a simple method, but the problem is that there are not enough tools available at present, and an average of twenty people have a large saw. Even if you send twice the number of people to fell trees, the efficiency is still not high. where to go."

Chen Yixin pondered: "If this is not enough, we can only transfer some from the Shandong base as much as possible. I remember that there are still a lot of messy tools in the warehouse on Zhifu Island."

Liu Shanxia nodded and said, "I have sent a telegram back, and let the next ship coming to Liaodong bring it along. As long as it has something to do with civil engineering, all tools are required!"

However, Sha Xi was thinking about other things next to him. At this time, he said calmly: "Since the construction progress here has been slowed down due to the lack of tools, there is a lot of labor that is idle. I think it's better to adjust some first. People go to Lushun Fort to help with the projects there first. When there are enough tools here, it will not be too late to come back here to do things. Anyway, it is only [-] miles away from Lushun, and it will take half a day. The time has come."

Liu Shanxia immediately shook his head and objected: "Thirty miles is true, but a round trip is sixty miles. It will take more than half a day to travel, so why don't you just stay here and do things, even if you don't chop wood, you can at least do something. Simple tasks such as building roads and leveling the ground. I said Shaxi, don’t keep dialing your little abacus, the military hasn’t recruited people from here, so don’t worry about it!”

Liu Shanxia had mentioned it once before, but now he said it again, and the words were very straightforward. Shaxi knew that this eldest brother had a straight temper, so it was not easy to talk about recruiting people from here in front of him.

However, regarding the current construction status of the Dongjiang immigrant village, Sha Xi still has something to say: "At the current speed, it may take a month or two to build an immigrant village, and ten immigrant villages will be built to replace the 1-odd village. Wouldn’t it take a whole year for everyone to settle down? I think it’s more practical to order a batch of tents first, maybe some people will have to live in tents until next year.”
