"Imitate the system of the Haihan?" Lin Nan was stunned for a moment when he heard Li Qingyang's question, and then shook his head and said: "Brother Li thinks too much, the system of the Haihan and the Han Dynasty cannot be imitated by the Ming Dynasty." ”

"Why is that?" asked Li Qingyang puzzled.

"The leaders said that the system of the Ming Dynasty has many drawbacks, and if you want to get rid of these drawbacks, you must first remove the imperial power, is this possible?" Lin Nan shook his head and said: "The leaders said that the country they lived in before did not have imperial power, and the highest body governing the country was also an elite elected by all the people like the Executive Committee, which would definitely not be possible in the Ming Dynasty." ”

"Remove the imperial power...... Li Qingyang chewed on this sentence, and then shook his head, such a rebellious idea, probably only these bold and reckless Haihan people dare to put it forward publicly. Without imperial power, whose world would this world be?

"The Ming Dynasty needs imperial power, and we don't need it here. Lin Nan said proudly: "The chiefs said that under the rule of Haihan, there will never be imperial power!"

Li Qingyang was silent again, Lin Nan's statement was basically equivalent to stating that Haihan would not accept the rule of the Ming Dynasty, and this was no different from directly declaring a rebellion, because after all, this place still nominally belonged to the Ming Dynasty. But at the same time, he also knew very well that the Ming Dynasty was now unable to take any effective measures against the Haihan in the southern border, whether it was to ban trade or send troops to crusade, the feasibility of the Ming Dynasty was very low.

"Brother Li, although there are differences between Haihan and Daming in terms of governing philosophy, we also have a lot of common interests, and one of the roles of the Ministry of Security is to ensure that these common interests will not be infringed upon lightly, and to ensure that the relationship between Haihan and Daming is developing in a benign direction. When Lin Nan's inspection schedule for the day was finally coming to an end, he said the key point to Li Qingyang: "Haihan has not established a country, and there is no position to negotiate with the Ming court at this stage, in order to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings between the two sides, it is necessary to maintain a certain communication channel." It is for this purpose that the chiefs want to keep you working in the Ministry of Security. ”

Li Qingyang said: "Jinyiwei is only responsible for collecting intelligence, and as for making decisions, it is ultimately the adults in the court who make decisions. ”

"But the information you provide may affect the decisions of the adults, isn't it?" Lin Nan continued to explain, "We want to maintain peaceful relations with the Ming Dynasty, and we are also willing to give some help to the Ming Dynasty in the war in the north to help the Ming maintain their rule in the country. Brother Li, I hope you can understand that what you are doing here is not a traitor, but a helping country. ”

"Brother Lin, I understand what you said, but I can't completely agree with your opinion. Haihan has many ways to help the Ming Dynasty, why do you have to adopt such a method that is tantamount to rebellion?" Although Li Qingyang mustered up the courage to question it, even he himself felt that he lacked confidence.

"Haihan wants to help the Ming Dynasty, but this help is not gratuitous, and Haihan does not intend to be loyal to the imperial court. As for the rebellion and the like, Brother Li should not talk about it casually in the future, so as not to misunderstand. Lin Nan lightly brought Li Qingyang's questioning aside: "I also know that Brother Li still has a lot of things that he can't understand, but the leaders have a sentence that is often on their lips, and I want to give it to Brother Li - time can prove it." Whether it is right or wrong, whether it is a blessing or a curse to work with us, leave it to time to verify!"

In October 1629, the various departments of Haihan seemed to return to the state they had just landed at Shengli Port two and a half years ago, and almost all the departments were in a state of shortage of manpower, for the simple reason that the Executive Committee had started to implement the port construction project on Hong Kong Island and Annam Da Nang at the same time, and Changhua, which was under construction. The Shiroku railway line is equivalent to the rhythm of opening three sub-bases outside at the same time, and it is difficult for the relevant engineering commanders and civil affairs managers to meet such requirements, so they have to temporarily seconded from some other units with relatively less tight personnel needs.

Ning Qi, who was the head of personnel among the executive committee, was almost on the verge of mental collapse during this time. Although most of the traversers wear multiple hats, and can be seconded to other units temporarily when necessary, the current situation is very different from when they first came to Sanya, no matter how hard it was at that time, after all, they worked together in this collective, and they were blessed and enjoyed together, but now they are going to work in overseas poor and white sub-bases, and for the traversers who have been accustomed to the relatively superior living conditions of the local area, at this time it may not be that everyone is willing to obey the organization's distribution.

Compared with the three places, the conditions of Changhua are still a little better, after all, the Changhua project has been started for a few months, and the basic living facilities have been basically improved, although it is far from the conditions of the base camp, but compared with the situation in the early stage of the crossing, it is much better. Hong Kong Island and Da Nang, on the other hand, are much more difficult, with those who travel there not only having to endure inconveniences but also risk a lack of medical care.

While it is true that there are some ambitious people in the group who are waiting for such an opportunity, there are still many who are not happy to work in the local area for a long time. Ning Qi spent a lot of time on finding people to talk to and convincing, but the results were still unsatisfactory. In the end, the Executive Committee had to decide to temporarily slow down the pace of construction in Da Nang, and give priority to the needs of Changhua and Hong Kong Island in terms of manpower allocation. After Liu Shanxia returned from his inspection of Da Nang, the local affairs were temporarily handed over to Nguyen Jinggui to preside, and the order given to him by the Executive Committee was to delay it for the time being, and then talk about it after the New Year.

On October 24, 1629, the ninth day of the ninth month of the second year of Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty, on the southwest coast of Hong Kong Island.

Although it is the traditional Chung Yeung Festival, few people on the busy port construction site probably remember this festival anymore. The construction of the port on Hong Kong Island, which was directed and implemented by the Haihan Construction Department, has already begun a few days ago, and thousands of construction workers brought in from Sanya have been rotating almost around the clock to rush the work, because they have been ordered to complete the construction and operation of at least two deep-water wharves by the end of the year.

According to the Haihan calendar, the end of the year is only two months away, and it is still difficult to achieve this goal. As the first batch of employees of the Ministry of Construction who worked on the wharf site in the early days of the construction of Shengli Port, Yu Dashan was already familiar with the construction process of the port wharf, and he had also exercised a certain on-site command and coordination ability in more than two years, so the Ministry of Construction transferred him from Sanya to the front line of construction to give full play to his role.

However, this statement is not particularly accurate, because although the appointment was issued by the Ministry of Construction, he applied for it himself. The reason is also very simple, Yu Dashan's only son Yu Xiaobao is now in Guangzhou all the year round, and there is very little opportunity to return to Sanya to visit relatives, and Yu Dashan thought that if he could be closer to his son, maybe there would be more opportunities to meet.

The Ministry of Construction's arrangement also has a certain human touch, not only transferring Yu Dashan to a construction site on Hong Kong Island in accordance with his application, but also sending a notice to the Guangzhou Office, hoping that the Guangzhou Office can send capable personnel to Hong Kong Island to assist in the construction of the Hong Kong Port -- for example, a young and promising naturalized citizen like Yu Xiaobao is very suitable.

Yu Dashan got the notice of transfer as he wished, and went to the construction site on Hong Kong Island by boat to report for duty, and his son Yu Xiaobao also received an assignment from Marik to take up a post on Hong Kong Island as a person who coordinated the relationship between the Guangzhou Office and Hong Kong Island.

According to the notice sent by the Guangzhou Office the day before, two large ships loaded with new immigrants and various building materials and tools will arrive on Hong Kong Island today, and Yu Xiaobao will also come on these two boats.

However, until it was almost noon, there was still no movement on the sea, Yu Dashan was so anxious that he was restless, and he went to the construction site headquarters to inquire if there was any new news. At about two o'clock in the afternoon, the two boats that Yu Dashan had been looking forward to finally sailed into the bay, and when he saw the Haihan flag on the top of the mast from a distance, Yu Dashan waved his hands excitedly.

"Good boy, you've grown a little taller again!" Yu Dashan looked at his son, who was already taller than him, standing in front of him, and sighed happily: "Xiaobao, you are now the tallest person in our Yu family!"

"Dad, the chiefs said that you can grow up until you are twenty-five years old, and I am still early!" Yu Xiaobao said with a smile, and handed the burden in his hand to Yu Dashan: "This is a set of clothes made for you in Guangzhou, wait until you go back to try it and it doesn't fit." ”

"Why are you wasting this money, you have to send out new work clothes every year!" Although Yu Dashan complained in his mouth, he grabbed the burden tightly in his hands, as if it was full of large amount of negotiable coupons: "By the way, what about your luggage?

"Someone is in charge of the luggage, I didn't come alone this time, and I brought a few subordinates over. Yu Xiaobao coughed dryly and said, "Now I am also a cadre." ”

"Yo, you kid can! Why didn't you mention this in the letter you wrote back before?" Yu Dashan asked in surprise and joy.

"It's just a small cadre, there's nothing to show off. Yu Xiaobao waved his hand and said modestly.

"Grown up, indeed grown up!" Yu Dashan nodded with satisfaction: "Since the chiefs value you and give you a chance, then work hard! You are still young now, and you will have many more opportunities to be promoted to the rank of official in the future than your father." ”

For example, Zhang Qianzhi, who went to work in the Guangzhou Office at the same time as him, has now taken up confidential work in the Guangzhou Office at the age of 18, and has even learned to use the radio to send reports under the training of Chen Tianqi, the director of information and industry affairs in the Guangzhou Office. And Fu Li, who is about the same age as them in the base camp, has also served as a cadre in the police department for a period of time.

Due to the short development time after the crossing, the results of the personnel department's training of naturalized civilian cadres are not very good, and employers hope to obtain naturalized citizens who are both loyal and educated, and preferably have a certain ability to do things, but in fact there are too few candidates who can meet these three conditions at the same time. Relatively speaking, the younger naturalized people have certain advantages in learning culture, policies and rules and regulations, and they have not yet formed a deep-rooted fear of the Ming Dynasty, but they have a stronger sense of belonging to the Haihan after receiving long-term brainwashing, so a considerable proportion of the naturalized cadres appointed by various departments are young people under the age of 20.

Of course, young naturalized people like Xiaobao and Fu Li, who directly followed the traverser, were undoubtedly a more fortunate group of people, and the chances and speed of promotion were far beyond ordinary people. Although they are not yet able to get the same appointment as their peers in the traversers, in a few years, after the Haihan's sphere of influence has expanded to a certain extent, people like them will also have the opportunity to become the ruling class in the new society.

The main task of his visit here is to supervise and collect the progress of local construction, and report to the Guangzhou Office on a regular basis, and the local construction projects that require the cooperation of the Guangzhou Office, such as the mobilization of migrant workers from Guangzhou, all kinds of craftsmen, etc., must also be handled by him. These tasks are not heavy, but for Xiaobao, this is also the first time he has taken charge of himself outside, which will play a big role in improving his actual work ability.

Regarding the construction of the wharf project in the harbor, the Ministry of Construction has already summed up a complete set of development models in the past two years, and all that is needed is to apply this wharf construction model to the specific geographical environment of the local area. Compared with the port and wharf construction project in the early stage, the conditions are now more favorable in all aspects, and the construction difficulty is greatly reduced.

The vast majority of the people who originally lived in the area near the bay chose to give up their original way of life after receiving the promise of Haihan, and applied to become the sailors under Haihan. A very small number of residents who did not want to cooperate with Haihan were sent to the mainland after receiving compensation for the relocation, although this relocation may not have been voluntary, and some were even tied up with ropes and thrown onto ships. Whether they were actually financially compensated or were transported by ship to some strange place, the local population has no way of knowing.
