The proportion of single men in the crossing group is very high, and the issue of spouses has always been one of the concerns of the members, and there are even some people who join the crossing operation with the purpose of marrying three wives and four concubines in this time and space. How to solve the problem of the personal belonging of the members is also a very realistic task for the Executive Committee and the civil affairs department.

In the early days of the crossing, the relevant departments and "Fu Ruifeng" jointly operated the so-called high-end club, so that these fiery bachelors in the crossing group had a place to relieve their physiological needs. At that time, this measure was opposed by a very small number of feminist elements within the country, but this opposition was too weak in the face of the "strong demand" of the broad masses and did not bring much resistance to its subsequent implementation.

But this method is only a temporary expedient measure, after all, most people still want to have a complete family in their hearts. However, the wish is beautiful, but the reality is cruel, and the choice of the landing place of the crossing group is destined that they will not have too many choices in the early days.

Yazhou is a vast and sparsely populated area, with a population of only tens of thousands, and a considerable number of them are prisoners and their families. In order to pick out an unmarried woman with outstanding appearance and a good family background in such a social environment, there are indeed not many people who can meet the requirements. Of course, the time-travelers don't particularly value each other's family backgrounds, and even if they are born as commoners, they will definitely become the aristocratic class of the new regime in the future, but even if the conditions are relaxed, there are still very few women who can make the well-informed time-travelers look at them.

This is not just a matter of appearance, the ideology, cultural level and even aesthetics of women in this era are too different from those of the travelers, even those who are famous in the place for their beautiful appearance, in the eyes of the travelers, there is often only one word to describe - soil.

Although these women have received basic cultural education since childhood, and often have a relatively good family upbringing, their dress and conversation temperament are completely different from what the time-travelers imagined before they came to this time and space. Even the young lady of the official eunuch family doesn't seem to be as good-looking as the heroines in the costume films I watched before, let alone have any common topics to talk about. Most of the time-travelers need to be busy with their own work, and due to the customs of this era, they have no chance to fall in love with these women and slowly cultivate their feelings, so there are no successful cases of this marriage in the early days.

On the contrary, the first group of people who went to Heitu Port to open up overseas mineral colonies, after the local situation stabilized, they had enough leisure to slowly consider their own personal problems. Compared with the base camp, the expansion space and management work of the Black Earth Port are relatively limited, and after the traversers set up trade relations with Lianzhou in the direction of Guangxi, they gradually married with the powerful and wealthy merchants of Lianzhou.

In principle, the Executive Committee will not interfere in such matters of personal life, as long as it does not harm the interests of the Haihan collective. However, members who have reached a de facto marriage must still report to the Ministry of Civil Affairs. This is not only about the personal safety of the traveler or the registration procedures, but also an issue that many people are not aware of at the moment, that is, the power that the next generation of the traveler will enjoy or inherit.

As the traversers gradually spread out and multiply in this time and space, the scale of the Haihan ethnic group will inevitably become larger and larger, and the family property and political property of the traversers will inevitably face the problem of division and inheritance. At that time, I am afraid that there will inevitably be a lot of bullshit, and all kinds of family dramas fighting for power and profit will probably be unavoidable. And now do a good job of registering the marital status of the spouse and children of the traverser, and in a certain way, it can also alleviate the various bloody plots that will inevitably occur in the future.

In this regard, the Black Earth Harbor has gone ahead of the base camp, becoming a testing ground for the marriage between the time-traveler and the inhabitants of this plane. And Xie Chun is currently the concurrently serving as the chief civil affairs officer of Heitu Port, and this matter happens to be within the scope of his duties. As the chief civil affairs official, he has much more "resources" in his hands than ordinary people, and he can also use the power in his hands to take advantage of the opportunity to go to Lianzhou for official business, and take the opportunity to learn more about the situation of several companies with "resources."

Yue Zhiyun smiled: "You guys will want to recruit, you actually hit the idea to Guangxi, how about it, what is the quality of the sister paper over there?"

Speaking of women, the interest of this group of men has come up, and even young people like Yue Zhiyun, who have just reached marriageable age, can hardly hide their expectations for starting a family.

Xie Chun shook his head and said: "The situation is not much better than that of Yazhou, Lianzhou is only a little more populous than Yazhou, and the economic situation is about the same." There are not many big families in the local area, and as for the quality of the girls, this is a topic of opinion, so I will not comment. But it's a little far from the base camp, and you don't have to count on this distant water to quench your thirst. ”

"You're too scheming!" Yue Zhiyun smiled: "I'm just asking, and no one plans to rob you of Lianzhou girl, so you don't have to say it so ruthlessly." ”

Xie Chun replied seriously: "This is not a scheming, I just have a sentence." If you really want to choose a larger range, then you still have to count the conditions in the Guangzhou Office, where the conditions are better, but there are hundreds of thousands of people around Guangzhou, and we have to pick and choose, and the scope is much larger than the place we are staying in. ”

"But I don't think anyone in Guangzhou has married the locals. "Yue Zhiyun is now on the Executive Committee, and he can be regarded as a real well-informed person. If there were any personnel changes in Guangzhou, he would be the first to know the news.

"It's not that you can't find it in Guangzhou, but there are too many choices to make a decision. Qiao Zhiya also joined this group of gossipy men at some point: "As far as I know, the life of these guys in Guangzhou can be regarded as a lot of wine!"

"When Minister He of the Ministry of Security was in the Yaya Office, I heard that he had a lot of lace news!" Yue Zhiyun nodded and agreed with Qiao Zhiya's statement: "Now that I have gone to Guangzhou, the conditions there are better and there are more choices, I am afraid that a man will not be able to control it." ”

"Okay, okay, don't sour people here, no matter how good Guangzhou is, can there be Shengli Port? Food, shelter and play, our own home is not bad, not to mention that place is the boundary of the Ming Dynasty, how can there be safety in your own home, go out at any time with two militiamen with guns on their backs, everywhere you go, someone will give way, can you have the treatment of this chief in Guangzhou?" Liu Shanxia, who was a little older, saw that this group of people was getting more and more outrageous, and quickly took back the conversation: "Xiao Xie and Xiao Yue both went to keep an eye on your ship, and the goods on it are not finished yet!" What should the rest of the people do, it's not time to get off work yet!"

At the same time, thousands of miles away in Guangzhou, He Xi, who was explaining his affairs to Gong Qiqi, suddenly sneezed several times in a row. He Xi took out a face towel and wiped the corners of his mouth and said, "It's so dignified, is it someone who is talking to me behind my back?"

Mariko couldn't help but laugh and said, "You probably took a mandarin duck bath in Xiyuan last night to wash off a cold, right?"

He Xi coughed dryly and said, "Didn't I go to Xiyuan yesterday to make friends with Master Liu of the government?

He Xi's subordinates were present, and Marik did not continue to embarrass He Xi again. After He Xi finished arranging the work, Gong Qiqi withdrew from the room, and Marik said: "Lao He, I was joking with you just now, talking about serious things, what was the result of your talk to Master Liu yesterday?"

He Xi shook his head and said: "It's not as smooth as expected, this Liu Qian is an old fox, hinting that he has been pretending to be confused with me several times, and it seems that he is going to relent." ”

Marico said, "The benefits of affordability? Did he give you a quote?"

"No, but I inquired on the side, and the price of asking him for help is quite high, five hundred taels that do not need an official document, and one thousand taels that need to be issued by the Guangzhou government office. He Xi snorted and said: "In the past, when Master Ma had not yet retired, the price of doing things was much lower than this, and last year, it only cost five hundred taels of silver to ask the Guangzhou government to send an official endorsement to our immigration propaganda." ”

"It's not a problem to get the price high or low, the key is to get the things assigned by the executive committee done first. Marik has been in the Guangzhou Office for almost a year, and the temperament of the leader has gradually become prominent: "Although the Executive Committee has not set a limit for us, if this thing can be done, it can be regarded as a great contribution for you and our Guangzhou Office!"

The "big thing" that Marico said was one of the topics discussed by the Executive Committee some time ago, about whether to start selling the arms produced by Haihan to the Ming officials. Although this topic is still in the stage of project research, the Executive Committee has already greeted the Guangzhou Office and asked them to provide some more reliable reference materials, among which in addition to the number of standard equipment of the Ming army, the ability to manufacture weapons, and the level of military training, the most important point is the feasibility of this plan.

For other more specific information, He Xi can collect more accurate numbers through various means, but the proposition of feasibility is slightly more troublesome. The export of weapons to the Ming Dynasty is much more troublesome than the current underground arms transaction between Haihan and the Fujian Navy Division, and the Fujian Navy Division that traded with the Haihan is actually Xu Xinsu's private army, as long as Xu Xinsu nods and takes the money, he can buy and buy very willfully. However, the process of wanting the Ming Dynasty to purchase arms from overseas will be very different, and it is not enough to just go through the route of the military, but also through the channel of civil officials, and the local civil and military officials will submit a letter to the central court together, and the possibility of success will be relatively large.

With He Xi's status as a maritime businessman, he was naturally not qualified to enter the official office to directly discuss business issues with the magistrates, and all he could do was to open up some joints below, hand over the news layer by layer, and let the internal personnel of the government persuade the officials.

This process is undoubtedly very troublesome and very labor-intensive and consuming of human and financial resources, and the nature of this matter cannot be handed over to the people below to do at will, so He Xi, as the Minister of Security of Haihan, can only go into battle in person and go to the front line to contact the representatives of the Guangdong government. And because the topic of arms deals is very sensitive, He Xi didn't dare to directly throw out the topic at the beginning, so he could only win over the relationship first, and then talk about the right thing after dragging the target into the water.

Originally, He Xi also operated some non-subordinate households in the Guangdong government, but after the former governor of Liangguang stepped down, a group of people also disappeared by the way, and the new governor's men gradually took the position, so He Xi had to repeat what he had done before again, and slowly open up these complex networks. Of course, in this kind of social occasion where wine and wine are staggered, He Xi, who is already relatively unruly, will occasionally enjoy the ******** belonging to this era - anyway, when he is not a gentleman, this money has already been spent as part of the action fund, and it is better to enjoy it than to waste it.

On the one hand, after coming to Guangzhou, life is no longer as boring as it was during the Yacheng period, and there are many pastimes and places, and on the other hand, it is also because of the subtle changes in the status of the two.

At the beginning, Marik was the director of the Cliff Office, and he was transferred to Guangzhou to take over Schneider's position, in fact, he has been steadily promoted by one level, although the Guangzhou Office and the Cliff Office sound like only one word, and the top leaders are also directors, but the actual difference in authority is huge. He Xi was not even the second-in-command in the Yaya Office at that time, and he did not get a very clear position within the Crossing Group, although he was promoted to a deputy position after coming to Guangzhou, he actually did not exercise much management power over the internal affairs of the Yaya Office.

But the wonderful thing is that although He Xi is only a deputy in the Guangzhou Office, his position within the Crossing Group is a very special Minister of Security, and in terms of administrative level, he is definitely one level higher than Mariko. All the traversers knew very well that the unit under the control of the executive committee was actually Haihan's intelligence agency, and He Xi, who was in charge of managing this organ, was undoubtedly the most privileged class within the traversal group.

As far as the degree of freedom of action is concerned, not to mention Mariko, even Yu Yao and Xiao Liang, the military officers stationed in Guangzhou, are not as good as He Xi, who has extremely high decision-making power. Under special circumstances, such as the last operation to arrest the Jinyi Wei spies, military personnel had to cooperate with He Xi's command to take corresponding measures. If it is said that the Guangzhou Office has two sides, then the bright side is that Marico is in charge, and the dark side is He Xi's final say.
