Chapter 1212: Duties of a Sheriff

For these shady doorways, Han Zhengshan didn't need to ask Qin Biao for advice on how to operate, and he didn't receive any benefits when he was a head catcher in Hangzhou, and these tricks were already familiar with them. He was more interested in the difficulties and challenges of being a sheriff in an overseas colony like Da Nang. Although during the training in Sanya, the lecturers also talked about this issue, but being able to consult with a current sheriff face-to-face, Han Zhengshan will not miss such an opportunity, and when Tan Juren asked him to accompany him before, he also made it clear that he wanted him to communicate more with the local sheriff, which must have been due to similar considerations.

"Difficult?" After listening to Han Zhengshan's question, Qin Biao pondered for a moment before responding: "Other colonies, I don't know much about the situation, and I don't dare to say anything. Speaking of Da Nang alone, perhaps the biggest difficulty is the governance of these two countries. ”

Han Zhengshan was puzzled: "Isn't this place under the full control of my Haihan Kingdom?"

Qin Biao nodded and said, "That's true, but only about half of the resident population of Da Nang are Haihan nationals, which means that these people are suitable for Haihan legal control." Of course, according to our current practice, the same can be dealt with for non-national crimes, but the composition of local personnel is complex, and some Annam people who come here to trade are in prominent status, and it is difficult to deal with them if they commit crimes. The difficulties in this must be something that Brother Han can also think of. ”

It is not difficult to understand the situation mentioned by Qin Biao, Da Nang was originally an enclave carved out of the territory of Annam, and the largest proportion of merchants who came to trade here were Annamite. And many of these merchants who are qualified to do cross-border trade with Haihan have deep backgrounds and even represent the interests of the Annam government. If these people commit crimes in Da Nang, the Ha Han magistrate will deal with them, and naturally he will have to take into account the possible impact of the punishment on the relations between the two countries.

Although the exterior wall of the police station is painted with the eye-catching slogan "Law enforcement must be strict, and violations must be prosecuted", they are all industry insiders, and they also know that the spirit symbolized by these slogans does not apply to everyone. Especially in areas with a special environment like Da Nang, there are inevitably more scruples when dealing with public order incidents. Han Zhengshan previously thought that Haihan's control over the local area had reached 100%, but now judging from Qin Biao's description, the situation is not so optimistic.

"Then if you encounter the situation that Brother Qin said, how do you generally deal with it?" Han Zhengshan continued to ask.

Qin Biao responded: "Go through the normal procedure first, if the identity on the other side is really hard, then you have to ask the chief." Generally speaking, as long as it is not a felony of murder and arson, most of the time it is resolved privately in the end. ”

Han Zhengshan said with a smile: "In this way, it is actually no different from the yamen of the Ming Dynasty. ”

Qin Biao nodded and said, "That's true, but there is also one point that the Ming Mansion can't compare." ”

Han Zhengshan said: "I would like to hear about it." ”

"The Haihan nationals have committed crimes in Annam, and the Annam government is not qualified to impose criminal punishments, so they can only hand over the crimes to us to deal with. Qin Biao sighed: "It is said that this is also one of the agreements signed between the Executive Committee and the Annan Imperial Court. ”

"This is really amazing!" Han Zhengshan's destination was not in Annan, so he had not heard of the diplomatic agreement signed between Haihan and Annan during the training. Judging from the differences in the policies of the two sides on this issue, it can also be seen that Haihan is indeed more powerful in the relations between the two countries.

Qin Biao said: "Other than that, there is no problem. To be honest, this place is much easier to manage than Hainan Island, the local area is full of no background**, which is like Sanya, any passer-by may be a servant in the chief's family, and he can't afford to offend at all. I heard that you are going to go farther south than not, so it is good to dare to do so, more than half of the local people must be slaves bought from the South Seas, and it is easier to manage!"

Han Zhengshan also learned about the business conditions of the Haihan colonies in the South China Sea during his training in Sanya, and it was indeed the situation that Qin Biao said, because the local area was far away from the Han settlements, so the Han immigrants were very rare, and in order to supplement the labor force, the Haihan could only buy slaves from the slave markets in various parts of the South China Sea, who had almost no human rights at all. Because of cultural and linguistic differences, these slaves had to pay far more to obtain Haihan nationality than Han Chinese immigrants, and the security agencies were more relaxed in their control, after all, these people did not even have freedom of movement, they were locked up in the plantations every day, and the possibility of breaking the law was much smaller.

The two kept chatting until the end of the reception banquet attended by the leaders, and Tan Juren's cheeks were slightly red when he came out, and it seemed that he had drunk a little wine at the banquet. Before getting into the carriage, Tan Juren didn't forget to ask Han Zhengshan: "Have you talked to the local sheriff?"

Han Zhengshan hurriedly leaned over and responded: "Shicai has already talked about it, and he has gained a lot from his humble position." ”

Tan Juren didn't ask any more questions, nodded and said, "That's good, let's go back first." ”

The southbound fleet stayed in Da Nang for only one night and set off early in the morning, so the officials of the fleet did not stay in the town, and after this feast of receiving the wind and seeing them off, they returned to the docks. The loading and unloading of the goods was completed before dark, but it would not delay the departure of the next day.

Han Zhengshan did not return to his ship, but was taken by Tan Juren to the warship where he lived. Here, each traverser has a separate cabin, and the living conditions are naturally much better than the immigration ship where Han Zhengshan is located.

"Sit down and talk!" Tan Juren said, pointing to the stool in front of him. Although he lives in an independent cabin, the space is really not large, the two-and-a-half-foot wide bed, plus a set of tables and stools against the porthole, has already taken up most of the indoor space. Two oil lamps with glass covers light up the bulkhead in front of the table. Tan Juren sat on the edge of the bed, and there was only one stool in the room to sit on.

After Han Zhengshan thanked him, he sat down upright. The boss summoned him alone, afraid that there was an important order, Han Zhengshan did not dare to slack off at all, and waited for Tan Juren's instructions.

"How do you feel after talking to the local sheriff?" Tan Juren asked a seemingly empty sentence.

Han Zhengshan thought for a moment before responding: "It seems that it is a little easier to be a sheriff in an overseas colony than at home. ”

Tan Juren smiled and said: "You will focus on the key points! Then let me ask you again, if Da Nang is handed over to you to manage, what will you do?"

Han Zhengshan said: "Probably...... It won't be better than Lord Qin. ”
