Chapter 2193

Although Haihan's demand for population has not diminished in recent years, the control of immigration and naturalization has been slightly stricter than in previous years, and a variety of standards have been set to ensure that the national population structure is maintained in a state that is convenient for governance. To put it simply,

It is to control the naturalization ratio of non-Chinese immigrants and try to give priority to immigrants from the Ming Dynasty to ensure the smooth flow of government orders.

Of course, no matter how high the current threshold for naturalization is, it is mainly for ordinary people. If it is people who have broken away from this class, such as famous scholars, wealthy businessmen with rich family fortunes, retired officials, etc., then basically

As long as you take the initiative to apply, you can quickly obtain Haihan nationality.

With an identity like Dai Chengrong, if you really want to naturalize, there is actually no threshold to speak of. Basically, you only need to verify your identity and you will be approved quickly. But will Dai Chengrong give up himself for an uncertain learning opportunity?

The national status of Ming Dynasty was transferred to Haihan. There are too many variables in this. At the moment, neither Yuan Tao nor himself can make a conclusion in advance.

For Dai Chengrong, the area under Haihan's rule is a novel world. When he arrives in Zhoushan, he will find many existences similar to "science" that interest him. By then, he will have more references to make decisions about himself.

Should I immigrate to Haihan?

However, the information about Haihan that he can currently access mainly comes from some small fragments shown by the members of Jindun. In order to facilitate the operation, almost all of the people sent by Jindun to Yangzhou are Han people, so they seem to be similar to Mingdun.

There are no barriers between people. After arriving in Zhoushan, Dai Chengrong will probably truly appreciate the environment in a foreign country, and then he will seriously consider the pros and cons of changing nationality.

Yuan Tao also knew that the higher-ups paid more attention to the group of people sent by the Yangzhou salt merchants for training. After all, absorbing overseas students was an important means for Haihan to export its ideology to the outside world. If these people accepted Haihan’s education to a certain extent during their training in Zhoushan,

The effect they can play after returning to Yangzhou will even be far greater than the effect of selling Haihan refined salt to the Yangzhou market.

Therefore, he still took the trouble to give answers and explanations to Dai Chengrong's various questions in order to minimize the discomfort that the other party might have after arriving in Zhoushan.

Of course, what Dai Chengrong needs to be reminded of most is the living environment they will face for a long time after arriving in Zhoushan.

"Young Master, you are going to Zhoushan for training. What you are meeting over there is our Haihan Kingdom's army stationed in Zhoushan. They are the frontline troops who have just returned from the expedition to Hirado. They have been on the battlefield and killed the enemy. They all did it with real swords and guns.

Training under their hands is not an easy job. Moreover, your training mission is very tight, so don't expect to have a vacation to go out of the military camp to relax during the training. Be prepared to endure hardships before you go!

"

Yuan Tao's warning made Dai Chengrong slightly moved, and he quickly clasped his fists and bowed to thank him. He had been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and it was common for him to undergo hard training. However, a total of more than a hundred people were selected from these seven surnames, although each family tried its best to recruit them.

Select the elite among the younger generations of the clan, but after all, personal conditions are different. The hardships he can endure may not be able to be endured by others. It is indeed necessary to vaccinate these people first, lest something goes wrong here after going to Zhoushan.

adapt.

Dai, Yang, Ji, Ma, Xu, Cui, Guo, as the seven most powerful families among Hui-born salt merchants, pay attention to being connected by the same spirit. They not only share wealth when the wind is going smoothly, but also stay together when the wind is going against them.

We share weal and woe, so the personnel sent to Zhoushan for training this time were mainly selected from the seven major surnames.

Although everyone has the same goal, which is to form a combat-effective armed team to resist the armed suppression of Shanxi and Shaanxi salt merchants, when it comes to the specific implementation process, they still have their own calculations.

For example, Dai Yingda is currently the leader of the seven surnames. He naturally hopes that after the team is established, even if the Dai family cannot directly control it, at least it will have enough influence, so he tried every means to recommend his youngest son Dai Chengrong to be the leader of the team.

The leader. In this way, the command of this team in the future will be in the hands of his own people, without having to worry about being backlashed. Moreover, if used properly, it can further consolidate the status of the Dai family among the seven surnames.

Dai Chengrong may not fully understand his old father's plan, but he has long known that he is the designated leader of the next generation of family armed forces, so it is not too surprising that he was elected as the leader of this training team. It's just that in the face of various

These elites selected by the government are all young talents with superior backgrounds and their own specialties. How he can convince the public in this position is the next problem he needs to face.

After bidding farewell to Yuan Tao, Dai Chengrong left Daijiazhuang and came to a large courtyard not far from the dock in the west. This was originally used to store various goods transported here from the canal. However, due to the recent operations of Huizhou salt merchants,

The environment is not smooth. Most of this warehouse has been emptied, and the trainees selected by the seven major surnames are now concentrated here, waiting to leave for Zhoushan.

The training plan was announced by Ma Zhengping after he had negotiated with Haihan officials in Zhoushan a few days ago and he immediately sent someone to rush back the news. The time left for everyone to prepare was not too long, but it was basically enough, so it was

When Yuan Tao and his party arrived in Yangzhou, half of the candidates had been decided. Later, after receiving guidance from Yuan Tao, each family gathered 70 or 80 people in the past two days and sent them to Daijiazhuang to gather.

When Dai Chengrong arrived here, he saw several carriages unloading goods at the door. No goods would be transported to this place at this time. The large and small bags were obviously the luggage of the trainees.

Seeing this, Dai Chengrong couldn't help but smiled bitterly and shook his head. He knew most of the first batch of people selected, and many of them had similar experiences to him. They were gold medal thugs, guard leaders, and future military attachés trained by various families since childhood.

Most of them have experience in martial arts, so most of them don't have any spoiled habits. They just come with a few sets of clothes and daily necessities, and at most two or three wooden boxes.

However, the candidates who have been temporarily added by various companies in the past two days cannot help but have some moisture. It is not that these people's personal conditions are poor, at least the physical aspects are in accordance with the requirements given by Haihan, with basic height and weight, and no disabilities.

Such conditions are qualified, but some of them are not martial arts practitioners, and they probably don’t quite understand the content and significance of this kind of special training. They simply understand it as a study abroad trip, and some may even treat it as a trip.

It's hard to tell, because when they arrived, they were packed with large and small bags, and it was like moving house. Many people came with a cart full of luggage.

Those who can bring a whole truckload of luggage are, of course, young men with status and status from each family. Although Dai Chengrong is the commander of this group of people, his authority is limited after all, and he cannot dissuade them from carrying so much useless luggage. He can only

Turn a blind eye to this.

In fact, each of the seven major surnames has a hundred years of accumulation. There are not a few candidates who are qualified for this job. There are still many people in the collateral branches and even subordinates who have a relatively strong professional foundation. There is no need to treat these real young masters.

Pushed to the front line and endure hardships.

But the thoughts of the heads of each family are definitely not that simple. After these people return from their studies, most of them will be qualified to be instructors when they return to each family. And people with such qualifications must of course be core members of the family.

Don't worry. So even if the professional foundation of this latter batch of selected personnel is insufficient, each family will still prefer to select core members.

The Dai family should do better in this regard. After all, they have the power, so there is no need to consider the issue of fighting for power. They can be more realistic and choose to send more capable people to Zhoushan, so as to strengthen the Dai family themselves in the future.

The armed forces will also be more confident.

In addition, taking advantage of the landlord's advantage in the past two days, the Dai family also got some information from Yuan Tao. They knew that going to Zhoushan for training would not be an easy day, and bringing too much luggage would be a burden, so most of them chose to pack lightly and only bring

Necessary daily necessities.

Dai Chengrong entered the courtyard and saw the new young masters pointing at the Datong Shop in the warehouse. Obviously they were not satisfied with the conditions of this temporary residence.

Dai Chengrong walked over and hugged these people, hugging his fists and saying: "Everyone, this was originally a warehouse used to store salt. Nowadays, housing in Zhuangzi is tight, so we can only temporarily clear this place out as a barracks. The conditions are poor, so please bear with me!"

But in fact, we only need to stay here for one night. After you get over it a little bit, we will set off on the boat tomorrow."

"It turns out to be Master Dai! Is this the hospitality that Daijiazhuang has always advertised? Although we only stayed for one night, is this the place where we should live?" Someone expressed their objection to Dai Chengrong at that moment.

Although Dai Chengrong was rebutted, he was not upset and still said calmly: "The residence in Zhuangzi is limited, and it must be used to accommodate your family members and elders, as well as the golden shield troops invited from Zhoushan this time. In extraordinary times, we can only do extraordinary things."

I have no choice but to make you live here temporarily. Also, I have been here for the past few days, eating and living with everyone. If you don't believe it, just ask around and you will know the truth."

Dai Chengrong took himself out to block the gun, which made it difficult for the other party to attack the Dai family again. After all, the young master of the Dai family also slept in this warehouse, so it couldn't be said to be disrespecting the guests. He was dissatisfied, but the Dai family only provided this

Conditions, what can I do? Could it be possible that I would turn around and leave if my temper gets worse, and go back to complain to my family that the accommodation arranged by the Dai family is too shabby? I'm afraid I will be scolded by the owner of the house.

Someone else asked: "Master Dai, would it be too hasty to leave tomorrow? I still have an appointment with friends in Yangzhou City. How about we set off from here in two days and meet up with everyone in Zhoushan?

Is that possible?"

Dai Chengrong has encountered a lot of problems like this in recent days. He shook his head and said: "Once the departure date is set, it cannot be changed, and it is not allowed to be delayed. Anyone who does not set off on time will automatically give up their qualifications, even if they rush there in the future.

Zhoushan can’t enter the training camp either. In addition, these are not the rules set by me, but the charter agreed upon by the heads of the seven major surnames. If you want to violate it, you’d better go back and ask your own heads for their opinions first.”

But there are hundreds of people, all kinds of people, not everyone knows the specific arrangements of this training plan, and not everyone will abide by these arrangements by default, so all kinds of questions come one after another, such as whether you can take your own boat to Zhoushan?

After arriving in the local area, whether you can rent a house to live on your own, whether you can bring servants or even family members, whether you can take leave midway, etc., there are all kinds of weird ideas.

Dai Chengrong knew that this group of people could not be beaten or scolded for the time being, and he had to try to win their support and cooperation, so he could only be patient, answer these questions slowly, and at the same time persuade them to obey the existing rules as much as possible.

Make arrangements and don't think about any special treatment.

"Before departure, I must remind you all again that our trip to Zhoushan is not for sightseeing or an ordinary study tour, but to receive rigorous military training. If you don't understand what this means, then

Let me put it simply, this means that you have to practice continuously in the military camp for about a hundred days in order to learn the advanced tactics of the Haihan Army in the shortest possible time. This is by no means easy, and it has nothing to do with ease. Everyone

It’s best to be prepared to endure hardships first.”

"Also, please don't think that going to Zhoushan this time is just for gold plating. The Haihan people have already said that some people will definitely be eliminated during the training process. It would be good if half of the final candidates are qualified. If you don't want to be rushed back in despair,

, then please work hard and put all your energy into training instead of being picky about the details of life. If anyone thinks that he can't bear this kind of hardship, I suggest you stop here and don't waste time going to Zhoushan.

Now, it would be nice to go home and be a young master who doesn’t care about worldly affairs.”

Dai Chengrong finished speaking loudly, and the courtyard suddenly became much quieter. The people surrounding him were almost all the second batch of selected personnel who had arrived at Daijiazhuang last night and this morning. Dai Chengrong's words obviously had a big impact on them.

Many of them began to realize from this moment that this errand may not be as easy and pleasant as the elders described, but a real hard work.

But if Dai Chengrong was frightened and persuaded to quit because of these words, it would not be a big deal. At that moment, someone said harshly: "Master Dai, who are you looking down on when you say such cruel words? Just go, I'm afraid of you."

! Then Haihan is said to be the richest in the world. He was trained in his army, so he always has enough to eat, right?"

The man was quite tough in the first half of his words, but his true colors were revealed later on. Dai Chengrong suppressed a smile and replied: "I have asked Jindun's shopkeeper Yuan about the diet. He said that the food in the army is always full, and every meal is full of meat."

, you don’t need to worry about being hungry after you go, and you don’t need to ask questions like whether you need to bring your own cook.”
