Chapter 247: Development Corps
"All line up, each with a new set of clothes, don't mess up!"
"Tell me, do you hear me?"
As he spoke, the whip in the hand of a young soldier snapped and slammed on a young man who was a little dazed, leaving a bruise mark on him, and the young man who was in pain hurriedly stood in the team, not daring to look around.
This is the opposite of Huanggutun Station, where Zhang Tinglan has established a temporary shelter, covering an area of more than 100 acres, which can accommodate about seven or eight thousand people at most, and this is the first stop for immigrants from Guannai to enter Fengtian.
They have to be registered here, and then distributed, and the people who come to the three eastern provinces are also divided into many types, in addition to the most ordinary refugees, there are also some small traders, hawkers, citizens, teachers, workers, etc., they all have a little capital, they only need to register, get a suitable identity, and then they can find a job and settle down in Mukden, this part of the people basically will not live in the shelter center.
The main responsibility of this center is the refugees, who have no means of earning a living, and can only farm outside the customs, most of these people have suffered from disasters and have no money, even to the point of not being clothed.
Clothing, food, and simple instruction were given to them in the shelter, and then they could be moved to new villages and towns to settle down and take root.
Zhang Tinglan was in charge of the immigration work in the entire three eastern provinces, and in fact, there were many people who broke into the eastern part of the country, and even if they did not manage it, a large number of people would flow into the three eastern provinces. However, Zhang Tinglan insisted that immigration was only a means, and the real purpose was to develop the three eastern provinces and strengthen the strength of the Feng army, so all immigrants began from the first day they entered the three eastern provinces. It must be managed, not like a plate of loose sand.
Otherwise, just one unadaptable is enough to kill many people, in the original history, a large number of ordinary people died on the road to the eastern part of the country, Zhang Tinglan is also responsible for all immigrants in this arrangement.
It is now the rainy season, and many areas of Kannai have been affected, coupled with the war between the Beiyang and the Protector Army. As a result, the Beiyang government simply did not have the energy to settle these victims, and countless victims were displaced and reduced to being refugees.
Zhang Tinglan had already communicated with those Jin merchants and asked them to send people outside the customs, according to the number of people. You can get paid accordingly, which also attracts the attention of many merchants. They offered to help get in touch. Batches of victims were sent to the outside of the border in a steady stream.
"Sir, you see that the villain has sent more than 150 people, each of them a piece of ocean, plus the passage fee and food, you should give me 400 yuan, why is it only 230 yuan. It's not easy for the small one to do things for you, you can't let the villain lose money! ”
"You don't have to cry poor, I have already interrogated these people just now. More than 30 refugees died on the road, and all you gave them to eat were stick noodles and rotten vegetable leaves, or even some wild vegetables, which were not worth a few dollars, and it was already extremely generous to be able to give you this money, if you dare not take the life and death of the refugees seriously, you don't want to do this business! ”
At present, Wang Songting is in charge of managing this detention center, he waved his hand like a fly and sent the businessman away, and it happened that Zhang Tinglan also came here to inspect at this time, and Wang Songting hurriedly greeted him.
"Director, thank you for your blessings, five more groups of people came today, a total of more than 700 people, plus the people who came over two days ago, enough to build a new town!"
"Dissatisfied, how is the status of the new immigrants?"
Wang Songting smiled slightly bitterly and shook his head: "To be honest, it's not too good, most of them are disaster victims, they are already hungry and cold, and they have traveled a long way to Fengtian, and many people are tired to death along the way." ”
"Didn't we ask these businessmen to provide medicine to the victims? also promised them to reimburse the train ticket, we have paid for it, why don't they care about the lives of the people, let them die of exhaustion on the road? ”
"Director, businessmen have to calculate their profits in everything they do. Treating a disease is not a small amount of money, and with the patient's drag, it will also affect their walking speed. As for taking the train, although it is good, but the cost is too high, so many people do not let the victims sit, and some people even make fake train tickets and come to us to cheat money. ”
"How can they do this, aren't they disregarding human life?"
Wang Songting saw that it was a young girl who was following Zhang Tinglan, beautiful and dignified, and there was a hint of newness from the inside out, not like an ordinary person, he didn't know what to call it for a while, so he was a little cramped.
"This is Dr. Zhou Xinyao, I asked her to come over and ask her to help check the hygiene of the detention center." Zhang Tinglan introduced on the side.
"It turned out to be Dr. Zhou, thank you for your hard work!" Wang Songting said: "You may not know, in the final analysis, it is just a profit, businessmen are chasing profits, they are not willing to do loss-making transactions, they can make a hundred, they are not willing to make fifty, this is unavoidable." And if these victims stay in their hometowns, even fewer will survive, so they will fight outside the customs, and no one cares how many people died along the way! ”
"Then you can't just watch it, you have to find something, right?"
Wang Songting looked at Zhou Xinyao and asked, Zhang Tinglan next to him was also very concerned, he hurriedly took them to his office, took out a document and sent it to Zhang Tinglan.
"Director, this is my latest charter, where the victims are recruited must be registered, and each victim must sign and draw a pledge as a proof of receipt. In the process of transportation, if the death rate of the victims is less than 5%, we will pay in full, and if it is higher than this number, we will deduct the money, if it exceeds 30%, we will not want to get any of them. ”
"This method is good, the death of the victims is difficult to prevent, but to control it to the greatest extent, we are saving people, not becoming harmful. Of course, you can't be a fool, just now you said that businessmen will get some fake train tickets to cheat money, is there any countermeasure to this kind of thing? ”
"There is also a little way, after the victims arrive in Mukden, we will ask in detail how many people they came, how they came along the way, what they ate and drank, we have to investigate, and then compare it with the information provided by the merchants, if there is a serious discrepancy, we will also deduct money, and even punish them."
"How can you guarantee that the victims are telling the truth, and they won't collude with the merchants?" As soon as Zhou Xinyao heard that businessmen could not care about human life and wanted to do other things lacking morality, they were not a problem, so he asked curiously on the side.
Wang Songting said with a smile: "Actually, I don't care if they tell the truth or not, in short, the merchant's expenses should be evenly distributed to each victim, and only after paying off this loan can they get their own land." If they help the merchant lie, they will suffer in the end. I heard that I used it when I was in Liaoyang for disaster relief, and the people there were scrambling to find ways to save money! ”
Zhang Tinglan pondered the plan in front of him again, and then asked: "Songting, you said that we want to ensure the survival rate of the victims, will those people deliberately leave behind the old and weak women and children when they accept the victims, that will not work!" ”
Although the migration work requires a strong labor force, it is also necessary to allow this labor force to stay in the three eastern provinces, so the most haode immigration is the migration of one family after another, only in this way can the roots be rooted, and there will be no serious imbalance in the ratio of men and women in the three eastern provinces.
Otherwise, a large group of bachelors will be troublesome to Zuihou. Wang Songting hurriedly said: "What the director said is right, then I will add one more, and if the family is moved, some rewards will be provided!" ”
"Well, in short, when doing immigration work, we must continue to find problems, solve problems, and try to ensure the quality and quantity of immigrants!"
Zhang Tinglan actually has an account in his heart, in areas where Mukden Shili can't reach, handing over the immigration work to businessmen will definitely not be less, and no matter how strict the regulations are, there will always be loopholes to exploit.
However, the three eastern provinces are in urgent need of population, and a large number of immigrants are necessary, so we can only control the ills as much as possible, and ignore some minor problems.
"Making people Fengtian is the first step, and we have to settle them down, let's go see those immigrants!"
This is the main task of Zhang Tinglan, Wang Songting accompanied him to constantly check these work, and also explained to Zhang Tinglan.
"When all the victims come here, they must first wash themselves, from head to toe, cut their hair and nails, and then put on new clothes, and in the first three days, they will mainly explain various rules to them, and they must have new habits of eating, sitting and lying."
The groups of victims who came today are now learning an important first lesson, which is queuing! Whether it is taking a bath or receiving clothes, you have to line up, and the rules are beneficial, and anyone who is disobedient will be whipped. From this moment on, they will learn something called discipline, which will be the guarantee of their survival.
"It is true that they should be cleaned well, many of them come from the disaster area, and they all have epidemic diseases on their bodies, and if they are not dealt with properly, it is easy to cause infectious diseases." Zhou Xinyao watched and said: "The most important thing is the problem of water sources, they must not be allowed to drink raw water, they must be boiled, otherwise the water and soil will be unadaptable, and it will endanger their lives!" ”
Wang Songting hurriedly nodded yes, remembering it in his heart, and they quickly moved to the back rows of houses, where all the victims who had lived for about ten days had received preliminary training, and they could immediately allocate land and start a new life.
Among these victims, all the young and strong people have been selected and are undergoing military training. Everyone holds a wooden stick more than one meter long in their hands, which is used as a rifle, and they are practicing jishu, one move and one style, and there is no ambiguity at all.
"Humble words, you don't want to train these ordinary people on the spot, do you?" Zhou Xinyao asked in surprise when she saw this scene. (To be continued......)
