By the end of April 1627, the Crossing Crowd had set up loudspeakers on the periphery of the two bases, and in Mandarin, Hainan Mandarin and Li Chinese, they were constantly promoting the newly introduced "People's Commune" system to the migrant workers on the construction site every day.

At present, all foreigners, regardless of ethnicity, gender, or age, who are working in the construction project, can sign up to join the commune under construction. The focus of the propaganda was the "labor hierarchy" that the Commune would adopt, with different levels of treatment to attract those who were interested in working for the crossers for a long time. In particular, education and medical care, which ordinary people were most concerned about, were tied up in the labor treatment of the commune.

In the future, the children of non-commune workers will only be able to sit in on the schools, and will not even be allowed to enter the classrooms, and if they want to become regular students, they will have to pay a certain amount of tuition, and the children of the workers will not only have the official admission qualifications, but also go to school for free, and the children of high-ranking workers will even be exempted from the cost of textbooks, paper and pencil, and will be guaranteed the treatment of being admitted to a higher school in the plan. The same is true of the medical policy, which is only free for commune workers, and the cost of medicine is partially reduced according to the level of the worker.

The most important thing is to ensure that every worker in the commune will be taken care of in an all-round way as long as they obey the arrangement and work hard, and that all people will be taken care of in an all-round way, and that they will be given the right to use the land in the future.

Yes, the Executive Committee finally decided to directly implement the public ownership of land on the territory under its own control, gradually change the dependence of ordinary people on land in the control area, and start to reserve the non-agricultural population for future industrialization from now on. This may be difficult to understand the people in the early stage, but as time goes by, when the people's income is not affected by the land issue, the implementation of the land policy of the Executive Committee will gradually become smoother.

Although the working class has not yet emerged, the Executive Committee is confident that within a few years the working class will become the main stratum of society in the district. The source of the workers will be provided mainly by the Commune, which has fully implemented the will of the Executive Committee, and only the naturalized people, who have been effectively managed and fully brainwashed, can the Executive Committee be assured that they will gradually take control of the posts in the various industrial projects.

Ordinary people will not understand the deep meaning of the "people's commune" formed by the executive committee, but they can understand the benefits of joining the people's commune. Among other things, the grain, salt, and iron tools that can now be bought from the traversers will be supplied for free after joining the commune. There is a collective canteen for eating, and there are special tools for labor, which also do things for these Haihan people, but the corresponding remuneration is more than half higher than the current odd job. For the poor who have no money or land, the choice of whether to join the commune or continue with their current gig life is self-evident.

Some people also took a fancy to the "distribution of land use rights" mentioned in the propaganda of the people, all workers who have joined the commune for three years can apply for 20 acres of land use rights, and the applicant will get the right to cultivate the 20 acres of land for 30 years, and only need to draw 1 out of 10 every year and pay 10% of the income of agricultural tax. Workers with five years of experience can apply for another 30 acres of land, while workers with 10 years of experience can apply for another 50 acres of land at one time. As long as the applicant is alive, the contract can be renewed after the time of use has expired, provided that the regime established by the Haihan people has not collapsed by that time. Although it may seem a bit uninteresting to think that these lands are not ultimately owned by individuals, the Haihan people covered the expenses of the birth, old age, sickness and death of the commune laborers, and the taxes were much lower than those of the landlords or officials, so wouldn't it be better to save the money to buy land and build a big house for the family?

People with various thoughts began to flock to the registration point, among which the residents of Yulin Fishing Village were the most active. These people were the first to come into contact with the traversal, and the benefits they got were also the most, and it was only a month since the traversal came here, and their harvest was already more than half a year of busy work before. As for whether the land policy of crossing the public will be recognized by the Ming government in the future, the fishermen are not very worried, this place is originally a three-regardless area, and even the small officials who collect grain in Yazhou never appear nearby.

What's more, they have also seen the power of the traversal, whether it is the Ming Sailor or the South China Sea pirates, aren't they all beaten up to the ground? Two days ago, Yu Xiaobao from the village followed the traverser to Yazhou City, according to him, the captured Ming army officer can be put back this time, and he has already reached a cooperation agreement with the traverser, and he will be the role of helping the traverser run errands and work hard in the future. The credibility of this rumor is very high, because in the labor camp in the upper reaches of the Tiandu River, dozens of Ming prisoners are still being held. With such a high profile, it's hard to imagine what will happen to the tax collectors of the government who come to this place.

The Li people, on the other hand, were more practical, and they had exchanged their labor for food and other supplies during this period, which had made their lives significantly better, and now that the people had declared that they would be better treated if they joined that commune, there was really no hesitation. Fu Li spared no effort to publicize the people in Litong, so that those young people who yearn for life outside the mountain were tempted to join the registration team.

Fu Li himself wanted to sign up for the commune, but he was pulled out of the team by Ning Qi. Considering that Fu Li is the heir to the lord of Fu Shan Mountain, and that the Crossing Masses intend to build him into the spiritual leader of the future Hainan Li people, or as the ruling puppet is called internally, based on this starting point, the Executive Committee will not agree to let Fu Li enter the commune as an ordinary laborer. In the end, under the construction of Ningqi, a bilateral coordination body of the "Han-Li Friendship and Cooperation Association" was set up, which will be used as the competent unit for the work of the Li District in the future, and Fu Shantong, the young master of Fu Shantong, was given the position of "honorary adviser" in this organization, and his grandfather Fu Nuo, who was about to die, served as the nominal "honorary president".

Fu Li didn't quite understand what an "honorary advisor" was, and Ning Qi also thought about it for a long time before explaining the position he had come up with temporarily: "The so-called honorary advisor is an expert who is both famous and reputable, you Fu Li is an expert on Li issues, and if you have any problems in contact with us, you can communicate with us." ”

"So I can represent all the Li people in the future?" Fu Li suddenly felt a sense of sacred honor, and he was not so worried about not being able to join the commune because of Ning Qi's obstruction.

Originally, the Executive Committee set a deadline of ten days for the Commune to recruit people, but by the fifth day, the original quota had already been filled. As a result, the commune was formed in a much earlier manner, and after the registration of the information was completed, the relevant departments began to organize these local people to move into the places where they would live in the future.

Because the Yanchang is located outside the port of Shengli, the Military Police Department is temporarily unable to set up an effective defense force in the Yanchang Commune, so the Executive Committee is quite careful in screening the personnel of the Yanchang Commune, lest unidentified people be mixed in with it. Yanchang Commune, which was mainly composed of villagers from Yulin Fishing Village, eventually enrolled a total of 137 people from 42 households, including 97 men and 40 women. Yu Dashan, because of his consistent good performance, was appointed as a special assistant to the management committee of the Yanchang Commune, and directly enjoyed third-level labor treatment. His son Yu Xiaobao's establishment is also in Yanchang Commune, but because he has to study at the junior high school in the crossing, Yu Xiaobao usually lives in the No. 2 base in the upper reaches of the Tiandu River.

The Management Committee of the Yanchang Commune is composed of the Military Police Department responsible for maintaining law and order, the Ministry of Industry responsible for the transfer of production technology and production planning arrangements, and the Civil Administration Office under the Ministry of the Interior responsible for administrative management. The management committee is directly responsible to the executive committee, and will be assigned to the civil affairs department for management when the conditions are ripe in the future.

On May 3, 1627, the first members of the Salt Works Commune took two ships from Victory Port to the valley where the waste salt works were located. A few days ago, laborers had been arranged to build a trestle-type wharf at the seawater irrigation outlet here, and after docking, the members of the society slowly unloaded the various building materials, labor tools, and daily necessities such as altars and jars carried by themselves on the boat. In the next few days, they will first build their own dwellings, and then they will have to renovate the entire salt works according to the requirements of the traversers, which is a lot of work.

The Ministry of Industry plans to transform the salt field that originally used a stone trough to dry salt while gradually transforming it into a large-area cement salt pond, transforming the original manpower irrigation device into wind power and animal power for energy. Although the Ministry of Industry has set a target for the Executive Committee to produce 1,000 tons of salt in the first year, the Ministry of Industry will not stop at such a low standard. In the future, the average salt production capacity of Hainan salt farms can reach more than 60 tons per mu per year, even if the existing conditions are limited, the output is halved on this number, and this salt field with an area of more than 1,500 mu is expected to reach the level of 4,000 tons per year in the eyes of the Ministry of Industry.

This amount of salt is quite staggering in the current era, after all, before the crossing came here, the annual salt production of the entire Hainan Island did not reach 300 tons. However, in the eyes of the traversers, this output is far from enough to meet the needs of the chemical industry in the future, and it is necessary to build a number of large-scale salt farms in Haitang Bay and Li'an in the east of Sanya, Yinggehai in the west, and Yangpu in the north. Only when the salt output of the salt field through the crowd control zhì is at least 10,000 tons, can we ensure that the chemical industry will not stop developing due to the lack of raw materials.
