Chapter 1269: Propaganda System
After the two completed the formalities, they returned to the office of the management committee, Chang Degao asked Liu Shang to sit and wait for a while, took his relevant procedures to the personnel department for filing and registration, and then brought back a stack of forms for Liu Shang to fill in one by one. In fact, these materials are similar to the content filled in the household registration department before, and they are mainly based on personal information, but the content of the occupation is much more detailed, such as the applicant's past professional background, skills and fields he is good at, what personal works or deeds he has, and even his personal perception of "propaganda work", which must be recorded in writing.
Rao is Liu Shang is cautious, and he can't help but feel a little dizzy in the face of so many things that need to be filled in, he doesn't fully know who these personal information is going to be given to and where to file it, but one thing he can be sure of is that the Haihan Security Department will definitely have someone to review outsiders like him who are directly recruited into the yamen. If he makes any mistakes when filling in these information, he may be caught by the pigtails by professionals, and he will have to be careful to deal with it.
Before coming to Sanya, he had heard that Haihan's management of the people was very fine, Liu Shang had no personal experience before, and now he was going through the naturalization procedures to be a Haihan person, and he found that the rumors were true, and the level of detail of this information registration alone was far from comparable to the household registration management of the Ming government. Liu Shang understands the affairs of this field far better than ordinary people, and he knows very well that this kind of strengthened management is not just about registering a few more information on paper, and the workload increased to the relevant departments will also be very considerable, reviewing, filing, sorting, storage, and a series of subsequent links must have special personnel to deal with, and the increased manpower and costs cannot be ignored.
Liu Shang believes that these methods of Haihan are not superficial efforts, but are really based on these registration materials to strictly screen and monitor the people under his rule, especially those in the government ** positions. And he can roughly predict that this is by no means the final test, and it is unlikely that he will officially join the company immediately after completing the formalities, and there will definitely be a multi-day inspection period.
Sure enough, after Liu Shang filled out these registration forms, Chang Degao said: "Although you used to make a living as a storyteller and have some practical experience in how to publicize among the people, we are not using storytellers who work for money, but professionals who can propagate patriotic ideas. So before you start the job, there will be a training period of 10 to 15 days, depending on how well you perform in the training. During this period, there will be lecturers to teach you the professional knowledge you need in the future, which is very important for your future work, so be sure to study hard!"
Although Liu Shang didn't know what the content of this so-called training was, he saw that Chang Degao was very cautious, and he quickly agreed to it. Anyway, you have to spend some time studying the affairs of this industry, and having professionals teach you can save a lot of energy and time. He also wanted to know more about Haihan's powerful methods in the field of propaganda, which could discipline hundreds of thousands of immigrants to serve his loyalty.
There have always been different opinions about how the country of Haihan rose to prominence on the coast of the South China Sea in just a few years. The general consensus is that it is because the Haihan has a powerful force that is difficult to match, and has a strong economic strength to support the army's southern conquest and northern war, and to achieve continuous territorial and population expansion through military means. The military and economic advantages of Haihan are, of course, the most observable strengths of the outside world, but with the deepening of the understanding of Haihan, many new ideas have been put forward, such as how Haihan achieved the annexation of hundreds of thousands of people in a short period of time, and is still bringing in a large number of immigrants so far, but there is no chaos due to integration problems, and it is impossible to have a clear explanation for this by simply quoting military and economic views.
Could it be that the executive committee-style form of government is more advanced? Of course, no one will dare to express such a perverse viewpoint. However, there are no ways to express their views around the bend, and more and more professionals who study the Haihan issue believe that the most neglected in the past is actually the ruling methods of the Haihan Executive Committee, which also includes Haihan's governance measures in the field of propaganda.
The Ming government did not have many means of work in this field, and the various notices posted outside the yamen and at the city gate were probably the most important means, and the supervision of public opinion and publications was also extremely crude, and more often it was to stipulate what things "cannot be done or said", rather than active propaganda and guidance. In this regard, compared with Haihan, the government's governance methods can almost only be described as "primitive".
According to Liu Shang's experience after coming to Sanya, Haihan's emphasis on propaganda came from the top down, and the special establishment of the Propaganda Department, a department directly managed by the Executive Committee, is enough to see how much the Haihan ruling class attaches great importance to this work. From the moment they boarded the ship to Sanya, there were special personnel on the ship to introduce the customs, laws and regulations, immigration policies, etc. to the new immigrants who went to Haihan for the first time, so that the new immigrants could have a general understanding of their destination on the way.
After arriving in Sanya, you can feel the diversity of propaganda methods, such as slogans and flags everywhere, newspapers and various street propaganda activities that ordinary people can also access, and even recruit storytellers like him. In such an environment, it is indeed easy to be constantly brainwashed by the propaganda of public opinion to cultivate a sense of superiority as a Haihan national. The people in the southeast coastal area of the Ming Dynasty also seem to be significantly affected by this, and a large number of civilians still choose to cross the sea to Hainan Island every year to join the Haihan people.
Although it is unlikely that Da Ming will follow Haihan's example and set up such a yamen dedicated to propaganda work, Liu Shang is still very interested in Haihan's work methods in this field, which is one of the reasons why he chose to disguise himself as a storyteller and enter Sanya to lurk. Liu Shang argues that even if Haihan's military and economic superiority is difficult to defeat, if it can find loopholes in its domestic rule, then it can try to develop more targeted measures to curb Haihan's development.
