However, the tableware on Li Nai's table was not all replaced with Haihan glass products like some Guangdong nouveau riche, but the blue and white porcelain produced in Jingdezhen, Jiangxi Province, which is common on the market. This is also somewhat influenced by the Haihan people, because the favorite tableware of the Haihan people who pay attention to the quality of life everywhere is blue and white porcelain, especially in Yongle, Xuande, and Chenghua, and must be produced by the official kiln.

Li Nai doesn't know much about these Haihan people, who often criticize the various shortcomings of the Ming Dynasty, why they are particularly fond of blue and white porcelain whose use value is far less than that of Haihan glassware. However, he could see that the Haihan people had a great interest in the study of porcelain, because Ning Qi and Tao Donglai had discussed with him more than once about the shape, ornamentation, glaze, style and other aspects of Ming porcelain.

Since the Haihan people insist that blue and white porcelain is a good thing, Li Nai, who has always believed in the vision of the Haihan people, has also been good and has listed blue and white porcelain as the first choice. The creamy white porcelain with the shiny silver knives and forks seemed to Li Nai to indeed have the "forced style" claimed by the Haihan people, and the beef in his mouth seemed to be even more delicious because of this.

After dinner, Li Nai returned to the study on the second floor, and the servants had placed nearly half a month's worth of newspapers on the desk for him to browse. Although Li Nai rarely came to Sanya now, he still asked the servants to buy two copies of each issue of the newspapers and publications published locally, one to stay in the house in Sanya, and the other to send back to Guangzhou by ship. Ning Qi once called the newspaper "the mouthpiece of the executive committee", which Li Naike has always kept in mind, and from the content published in these newspapers, Haihan's new trends and future plans can often be interpreted. Li Nai was able to accurately speculate about Haihan's plans to colonize the island of Taiwan, and part of the information came from the interpretation of Haihan's official media disclosures.

At present, there are two main official newspapers published by Haihan, one is the "Haihan Reference" issued for specific targets such as Haihan's management, naturalized cadres, and external partners, and the content is mainly the latest official news on laws and regulations, development plans, economic policies, etc., which is the official mouthpiece that Ning Qi said. "Haihan Reference" is published for half a month, on the first and fifteenth days of each month, and is not publicly available on the market, but only for pre-booked users. Of course, ordinary people will definitely not √dǐng〗√diǎn〗√小〗√ said, .▽. "os_ (); If you spend five yuan a month subscribing to this official newspaper, they will be interested in another newspaper that is aimed at the general public.

"Haihan Express" publishes an issue every ten days, and the price of each issue is only two dimes, and the unit price is more than ten times cheaper than that of "Haihan Reference", as long as the people with income can afford it. The content positioning of the "Express" is all kinds of folk gossip, mainly interesting stories in the mountains and wilderness, plus a lot of propaganda advertisements - the newspaper's circulation price is so cheap, more than half of the reason is because the various advertisements published on it dilute the distribution cost. Even illiterate farmers and laborers would run to the teahouse after work on the day of the "Express" issue, pay a few cents for a cup of the cheapest oolong tea, and listen to the newspaper reader in the teahouse read the contents of the newspaper.

Both newspapers were edited and published by the Haihan Propaganda Department, but each had its own targeted distribution target and readership, and the market competition was not fierce. However, people like Li Nai, who have spare money, are generally willing to pay a few extra dollars to subscribe to the two newspapers together, and in addition to studying official policies, they also look at various trends among the people of Haihan.

According to his own habit, Li Nai first picked up the latest issue of "Haihan Reference", which was published seven days ago, but when this issue of the newspaper arrived in Guangzhou, he was probably already on his way south, and he happened to have not seen it. The headline news on the front page is "Penghu immigrants enthusiastically join the army, hard training sea and land together", Li Nai roughly read the content, it is about the new immigrants from the north to the south after arriving at the immigration base in Penghu, many young and strong men have chosen to sign up for the militia in order to repay Haihan's life-saving grace, and the local militia has both the navy and the army, so they have each recruited some recruits for training.

The article does not contain a clear number of recruits, nor does it contain specific content of training, and it is basically an official writing, which is superficial and does not diǎn. After reading it, ordinary people will probably only receive some information that has little effect, such as that immigrants from the north are moving into Penghu, and there are militia troops stationed there.

However, Li Nai noticed two hidden information in the article, one is that the scale of immigrants from the north is estimated to be not small, and if it is just a small fight to recruit dozens of soldiers, the weight of this kind of news will definitely not be enough to make the front page headlines of the official media; If the Haihan people want to colonize Taiwan, they naturally need to allocate a part of their troops to garrison the new colony Diǎn, and if they can mobilize people nearby, it will obviously be more convenient and trouble-free than transferring troops from Sanya.

Underneath this press release, there was also a short commentator's article, signed "The Strange Stone of the Tianshan Mountains", which Li Nai knew was Ning Qi's pen name in the official media, so he immediately read it. The article mainly talks about the important role played by the Haihan immigration policy in saving the refugees of the Ming War, and while cheering for the benevolent actions of the Haihan Executive Committee, he also expressed concern about the current situation of the Ming Dynasty's continuous internal and external wars.

Li Nai noticed that at the end, the author mentioned that "the current predicament of the Ming Dynasty is not only the result of the simultaneous chaos of external enemies and internal troubles, but also the natural ills of the current administrative system, which cannot be cured." Although Haihan's assistance can alleviate his temporary pain, it cannot cure the root cause of his disease. The rebellion in the north cannot yet be looked forward to its end. The paradise of the world is only in the land under the rule of Haihan. ”

The comment on this article can simply be described as "great rebellion", but with Haihan's influence in the south today, even if it is increased tenfold, the government will only treat it as if it has not seen it. The Haihan people have already turned Hainan Island into a country within a country, so can the high-ranking officials in Fuguang and Guangzhou really not see it? Of course not, everyone turns a blind eye to this, because everyone knows that the Ming Dynasty can no longer shake the Haihan, and if they provoke the Haihan, they will cause a fuss on themselves. Moreover, in the officialdom of Fuguang and Guangzhou provinces today, how many people wearing official uniforms dare to swear that they have nothing to do with the interests of the Haihan? Offending the Haihan people is equivalent to not getting along with themselves, silver, and colleagues, who would want to go out of this way?

Only the Haihan people dared to blatantly promote this kind of anti-Ming rhetoric, and if they changed their roles in different places, they would have been punished and imprisoned long ago. Li Nai is accustomed to this, after all, Ning Qi is a person who said that "the Ming Dynasty is more than 300 years worse than the Haihan", and he has published articles with similar arguments more than once in the "Haihan Reference" published in the past.

Li Nai continued to look through the contents of other pages, but there was no other big news, and the news that the latest Haihan grassroots cadre training course was completed smoothly. This press release not only lists the list of participants and their affiliations, but also the congratulatory messages of many Haihan institutions, cooperative units and partners, and the congratulatory list in the newspaper is several times longer than the list of students, which is also breathtaking. Of course, Li Nai quickly found the name of his own firm in the list below, and ranked first in the list of partners, the second is "Qiong Lianfa", and the third is the Fujian Chamber of Commerce, which shows the special status of "Fu Ruifeng".

However, what Li Nai is more concerned about is not the ranking of this list, but the changes in Haihan society reflected by this incident. People outside may not know very well what the "Haihan grassroots cadres" are, but Li Nai knows the doorway. It was precisely by relying on the bureaucratic team cultivated by himself that the Haihan gradually hollowed out the local government of the Ming Dynasty in the areas under his rule, and these Haihan grassroots cadres also replaced the functions of the original government in terms of land and property, armor protection, taxation, public security, and sanitation, and reconstituted the Haihan-style social structure.

Li Nai actually can't say what advantages the bureaucratic system operated by the Haihan people compared with the Ming Dynasty, but it is obvious that the official institutions of the Haihan Dynasty operate much more efficiently, such as paving roads and bridges, building water conservancy, and cultivating wasteland. These grassroots cadres trained by Haihan are certainly not as good as the Ming officials who were born as scholars, but their ability to actually operate and handle affairs is much stronger.

Li Nai sighed, hastily flipped through the rest of the pages, and then put the "Haihan Reference" aside and picked up the "Haihan Express". Perhaps because of the willingness of the price, the paper and printing quality of this "Express" is slightly worse than that of "Reference", but the layout is more compact, after all, many pages are used to place all kinds of advertisements, and every inch of paper is money.

Of course, because the newspaper is aimed at a different readership, the style of the articles published is also very different from that of Reference. For example, the headline on the front page of this issue was sensational - when will the cliques of new immigrants stop.

Li Nai read the content of the article, to the effect that due to the sharp increase in the number of immigrants in recent years, the current population structure of Hainan Island is becoming more and more complex, and a large number of new immigrants from other places are accustomed to huddling together for warmth, and there are even some people who are unwilling to obey the management of the civil affairs department and refuse to accept unified resettlement and distribution for the sake of the interests of small groups, and there are many people who try to violently resist the law.

As an example, a group of immigrants from northern Daming who were assigned to Lingshui County last month got into a dispute with a local Li village over a water issue, and later injured a civil affairs cadre who went to mediate. The story is written vividly and vividly, and it is quite picturesque to read. Of course, the perpetrators also paid a strict price for this, and a total of 17 families and 36 people were involved, all of whom were sentenced to hard labor of varying sentences. The person who took the lead in making trouble was directly sentenced to ten years, and under the conditions of the hard labor camp, it is estimated that there is no way to come out alive.

The article analyzes the multiple reasons for this situation from the perspective of regional cultural differences, but in the end, the text turns around and believes that the root cause is that the education process of new immigrants is insufficient, and it may be a little late to teach these adults, but at least it is still too late to teach children to obey the law. If children don't go to school and learn the rules they should follow, they are likely to end up in a forced labor camp when they grow up.

Combined with the fact that I just saw in the "Reference" that the Executive Committee decided to increase the popularization of Haihan educational institutions, Li Nai believes that this article should use the civil conflict as a blow for the official education policy change, so that the public can better accept this change.

Despite the various policies of Haihan's educational institutions towards naturalized people, there are still many new immigrants who believe in the "uselessness of studying" theory, hoping that children can work as soon as possible to earn money to support their families. In the past two years, Haihan has been working hard to build new schools and colleges, and has spent money to hire many scholars to provide basic literacy education to school-age children. In order to further increase the education rate among the naturalized people, the Haihan Executive Committee has prepared to introduce a semi-compulsory education system, that is, school-age children must be enrolled in school, and if parents do not cooperate or obstruct, then some semi-compulsory measures may be taken, such as temporarily removing the guardianship of parents, and those who are strict may even be sentenced for this.

Although the style of the report is quite gossipy, Li Nai still believes that it is also a propaganda tactic that the Haihan people need to use to make the naturalized people with low cultural status realize the urgency and necessity of their children's schooling, and at the same time to promote the importance of obeying the law and obeying the arrangements by the new immigrants, so as to deter those new immigrants who have some unrealistic ideas in mind.

The article deliberately did not make a judgment on the rights and wrongs of this case, and Li Nai could roughly imagine the heat of discussion that this article would arouse among the people, after all, the contradictions between old and new immigrants are actually a commonplace problem, and it is unlikely that this phenomenon will be completely banned. But no matter how the people discuss, probably supporting reading will be the common opinion of most people, after all, in the area under the rule of Haihan, people who can read and write have a very high chance of getting ahead, unlike the Ming Dynasty, who have to get a certain degree of fame before they can get the opportunity to enter the office.

If it weren't for the sensitive identity, Li Nai would have already had the idea of joining Haihan as a cadre. Even if he couldn't be a magistrate, he thought that he should still have no problem helping Schneider manage a few firms.
