Chapter 482: The Road to Promotion
As the head of many large-scale infrastructure projects under Hai Han's rule, Liu Shanxia's responsibilities meant that he would not stay at the site for long, and when all the facilities of the first phase of the project were completed, he would leave here and rush back to Sanya to complete the final construction plan for Da Nang. Except for a few professional and technical personnel from the Ministry of Construction, most of the supervision and command work on the construction site had to be completed by naturalized cadres like Yu Dashan.
Yu Dashan himself is the first batch of veterans who were classified into the Ministry of Construction, and he also participated in a number of infrastructure projects with Liu Shanxia, which can be regarded as a relatively familiar relationship between superiors and subordinates. ”
Liu Shanxia nodded and said: "After the port and wharf in this place are built, there are still a large number of civil and commercial facilities to be built, and when the base camp is busy with the projects of Changhua and Annam, I am afraid that the Ministry of Construction will not have any extra people to stay in this place." Yu Dashan, can you take this responsibility?"
Yu Dashan heard that this was going to put a burden on himself, but he didn't have any flustered feelings, because when he was promoted the first few times, he was also called by his boss at the time to have a similar conversation. Since Liu Shanxia asked questions in this way, Yu Dashan already knew how to answer.
"If Minister Liu can trust his humble position, then he is willing to try his best. Yu Dashan immediately clenched his fists to show his determination.
In order to obtain a formal promotion, of course, it is not necessary to express his determination verbally in front of his superiors, and Liu Shanxia does not have the authority to appoint senior cadres independently, and he can only recommend candidates to the personnel department, and the new appointment can only take effect after the personnel department has approved it. If it is a key department or a key position, such a transfer and promotion must also be discussed at a meeting of the Standing Committee of the Executive Committee. Therefore, although Liu Shanxia has already expressed his attitude, it is estimated that it will be at least twenty or thirty days before the official appointment is made.
Yu Dashan is not in a hurry about this, his promotion speed in the past two and a half years has been fast enough, and in the entire circle of naturalized people, there are only a limited number of people who can be counted on an equal footing with him in administrative positions. As long as he can maintain this steady pace of promotion, he will always have a place in the power hierarchy of naturalized people.
After talking about Yu Dashan, Liu Shanxia turned to Yu Xiaobao: "In January next year, that is, two months later, Shenglibao will hold a refresher course for young cadres, Teacher Ning asked me to ask you, do you want to go back and learn something?"
"Okay, good, go, go!" didn't mean that Xiaobao spoke, and Yu Dashan hurriedly replied. However, he immediately realized that he should not lose his temper in front of his superiors, and quickly shut his mouth.
Yu Dashan opened his mouth first, and it was impossible for Yu Xiaobao to put forward other opinions at this time, so he could only accept it immediately. However, what Liu Shanxia said next made both father and son happy.
"This advanced training course for young cadres is directly supervised by the Executive Committee, and the enrollment scope is only for naturalized civilian cadres under the age of 25, and the duration of study is three months. After completing your studies, you will basically adjust your current position, and you are not a newcomer, you should understand what this adjustment means. Although Liu Shanxia's point was not too clear, it was indeed enough for the Yu family father and son to understand the extraneous sound.
In the promotion mechanism of the Haihan bureaucracy, intensive study and further education before promotion is a necessary part of almost everyone's knowledge. As long as you are notified to participate in such and such a study class or advanced training class, it basically indicates that you will get the next promotion opportunity. The Yu family father and son are no strangers to this process, because they have also participated in several advanced studies before this, Liu Shanxia has already pointed to this point, and the Yu family father and son naturally understand that this is to pass on the word to them on behalf of the "superior".
If it weren't for the fact that he had been in the Haihan system for more than two years, Yu Dashan would probably be very accustomed to kneeling down and thanking the leaders for their grace, but now after time of training, he and Yu Xiaobao have adapted to the Haihan way of thanking - the two of them made a fist with their right hand on their chest, and said in unison: "Serve the executive committee!"
Liu Shanxia was very satisfied with the skillful expression of his father and son, not only because they showed their loyalty to the Executive Committee, but more importantly, Haihan's system had obviously taken deep root in their hearts and became part of their conditioned reflex, which was exactly what the Executive Committee hoped to achieve in the naturalized people. Although only a few high-ranking cadres such as the Yu family and father may still have such qualities, as long as time is given, a considerable number of new immigrants will surely appear among the mass production of people loyal to the new regime. In particular, new young people like Xiaobao who "grew up under the red flag" are a group that the Executive Committee pays special attention to, and the new positions prepared by relevant departments for Yu Xiaobao are somewhat related to this field.
Since the crossing, the brainwashing of immigrants, or "re-education work" as the official term, has been one of the important tasks of the civil administration. However, this part of the work has not been greatly improved in more than two years, and the pertinence of the content is not too suitable for the current reality that the composition of immigrants is relatively complex. At the executive meeting in October, the Ministry of Civil Affairs Ning Qi put forward an opinion, that is, to refine the target groups of the re-education work, especially for the young and middle-aged personnel who will play a fundamental role in the Haihan regime in the next 10 or 20 years, and to formulate a more effective ideological control model.
Ning Qi believes that relying only on literacy classes, literary and artistic propaganda and refresher courses is far from satisfying the requirements, and these young people know more knowledge, so they may not choose to turn to the side of the Haihan, maybe because they have read too many ancient books and choose the "orthodox" Ming Dynasty. How to make these naturalized people of unknown nationality have a strong sense of belonging to the group they belong to before Haihan itself establishes a formal regime, Ning Qi believes that this is the key to solving the problem.
And how to solve this problem, in fact, there are many successful solutions to choose from in the pre-time world. A more common method is to set up political organizations of all ages, from school-age children to adults, throughout the entire educational stage.
In fact, this method has been implemented in some departments for two years, and at the beginning of the establishment of the military base in the port of victory, corresponding scout camps were set up to accept orphans and children who were not talented enough to complete the orthodox curriculum, and these scout cadets would receive militarized education in the camp for several years, and after reaching the age of 16, they would be assigned jobs to serve in violent institutions such as the police or militia groups, and a small number of trainees with better conditions could also enter special institutions such as the Ministry of Security and even the garrison directly under the Executive Committee。
Over the past two years, the children's camps set up by the military have begun to bear fruit, with nearly 100 boys and girls assigned to various units after reaching the age of 16. After a long period of targeted training, the biggest characteristics of these personnel are that they have a strong sense of belonging to Haihan, high loyalty to the executive committee, and a bit of the fearless red generals in the special era. After these people enter the workplace, they only need a little guidance to become loyal supporters of Haihan and take up various key positions.
The Haihan official political organization for naturalized people after the age of 16 was still a blank field until then, and although each unit may have corresponding literacy training and other courses, there is no national organization that unites people in the adult age group. Therefore, Ningqi proposed to the Executive Committee that an official organization similar to the "Youth League" could be established for this purpose, so as to include as many backbone forces as possible to build Haihan society, so as to achieve a solid foundation for Haihan rule.
Of course, to engage in such a large-scale official political organization, it is not enough to rely on crossing the public, and the problem of manpower alone cannot be solved, so it is necessary to recruit a group of shrewd and capable naturalized people from the beginning to build the organizational structure, and at the same time, these people will probably become the image spokespersons of this new organization, and even become public figures.
In order to achieve these goals, it is obvious that there will be higher requirements for the selected candidates themselves, not only to be loyal to the Executive Committee, but also to have a certain degree of work ability, and there must be no obvious bad deeds in all aspects. Coupled with the age requirement, this series of conditions is enough to brush off more than eighty percent of the candidates. As a result, a candidate with superior conditions like Yu Xiaobao naturally surfaced - he was naturalized early, and he was an apprentice brought out by Ning Qi and Schneider, and there was no problem in terms of political loyalty, plus he had two years of practical work experience in Guangzhou, and his only blood relative was also a senior cadre of the naturalized people, so it didn't seem that there was much to find fault with in any aspect.
After the relevant bill was discussed by the Executive Committee, Ning Qi put Yu Xiaobao on the list of future cadres of the Haihan Youth League with a stroke of his pen in Shengli Fort. Of course, before that, Ningqi still had to hold classes to teach these young people how to use propaganda weapons to build this official organization that was still in the process of planning, and then play a role in uniting the young naturalized people under the rule of Haihan.
Of course, Yu Xiaobao can't guess Ning Qi's long-term plans now, but he can take the opportunity of further study to return to the hometown of Shengli Port and meet his long-lost division commander and friends, just these two reasons are enough for Yu Xiaobao to accept this matter.
On November 5, 1629, after several days of silence, the Ming army in the north of Hong Kong Island finally lost their breath and sent an envoy to the Xingang Wharf under construction, asking to meet the local leader.
At this time, Liu Shanxia had already left Hong Kong Island and returned to the base camp to report on his work. The temporary takeover of the local integrated management is Yau Yi-hon, a Transport Supervisor seconded from the GJO.
Originally, You Yihan's establishment belonged to the Ministry of Shipping, and it stands to reason that he should not take over the affairs of civil affairs and engineering construction. However, by mistake, several people in charge of civil affairs in the Guangzhou Office were inadequate, and the base camp was in an extraordinary period of shortage of human resources, and there was no one to send to Hong Kong, so You Yihan was driven to the shelves and temporarily played a cameo role in the local leadership.
Hearing that representatives of the Ming army came to negotiate, You Yihan didn't know what to do for a while. He was indeed given temporary military and political power, but he lacked relevant experience in how to deal with the Ming military. And Chen Yixin, who had just served as a local officer, went out to sea with the ship to patrol again, and he didn't know when he would come back, so this responsibility could only be placed in front of You Yihan.
Compared to the military group, You Yihan is not a radical person, and he has been working in Guangzhou for a long time, and he has almost always been immersed in his own field of work, and rarely takes the initiative to ask other people what they are responsible for. If it weren't for the recent shortage of human resources, the point would have been on his head, and You Yihan would not have taken the initiative to apply for a job here - not that he didn't want to strive for upward opportunities, but that the work of the shipping department was too heavy, and he simply didn't have the energy to manage more things.
At present, there are more than 100 cargo ships sent from the Pearl River Port outside Guangzhou to Sanya every month, and if we add the statistics of the entire Pearl River Basin, then this number will have to be at least doubled. In addition to the Pearl River Basin, other coastal areas in Liangguang and the coast of Fujian Province farther away send goods to Sanya every month is not a small amount.
The duty of the transport department in charge of Yau Yihan is to keep a count of the types and quantities of these goods, and if possible, to send someone to verify them. For some of the goods and personnel that need to be carried by Haihan itself, You Yihan has to calculate the transportation period, the corresponding loading capacity of the ship, and so on, and then deploy ships to load them at the Pearl River Wharf, Panyu Lijiazhuang Wharf, and Wanshan Port -- of course, in the future, a new wharf on the Hong Kong side will have to be added.
For You Yihan, who only has a few naturalized civilian clerks under his hands, the work task can be described as extremely heavy. Although he had various ambitions for career development in the early days of his career in the Guangzhou Office, he soon found that he did not have too much energy to think about other aspects, and it was already good to be able to complete his job well without making mistakes. As for the idea that one day he will be appointed as a temporary magistrate, and even have to deal with foreign military disputes, You Yihan really never imagined it in this direction before.
