Chapter 421 Who is in charge?

Whether it is an internal record of merit from the Ministry of Justice or a public commendation from the Executive Committee, this is already a great achievement for a naturalized citizen. Fu Li has been in the Haihan system for nearly two years and has gradually become familiar with it.

Haihan's bureaucracy, he also knew that receiving these official awards would play an important role in his future development, so he was naturally very excited.

Not only that, the executive committee also decided to assign him a new task, which was to be fully responsible for the reception and accompanying work of Huang Que, the representative of Shi Zidong, during his stay in Sanya. This was like dozing off on a pillow. Before Fu Li had time to apply, the executive committee

The meeting took the initiative to hand over this job to him. Of course, judging from the current situation of naturalized cadres under various departments, there are indeed not many senior cadres from the Li ethnic group, but someone like Fu Li knows the basics, is loyal enough, and is

There are even fewer people who are good at doing things. In addition, they have participated in the entire previous stage of the work and then completed the remaining tasks, so there will be no disconnected handover.

As Fu Li expected, Huang Que was already impressed by the prosperity here when he entered Victory Harbor by boat. The farthest place Huang Que has been to since he was born is Danzhou, but the port of Danzhou Bay is different from

Compared with Victory Port, it is at most the size of a rural wharf. Most of them are civilian ships and fishing boats. Merchant ships can only be seen every three to five. In the past, Danzhou had two major cargo exporters, the salt field and the coal field, but the Haihan people

After settling in Shengli Port, these two businesses in Danzhou have been basically occupied by Haihan's high-quality and cheap refined salt and coal. The salt field and coal field are all gone, and the merchant ships that come to the local trade have become increasingly rare.

.

Danzhou has become so depressed, how can the counties under its jurisdiction get better? In a small place like Changhua, many supplies have to be obtained from Danzhou, not to mention the market situation. And Changhua

The small port on the seaside was dwarfed by the Port of Victory. When Huangque looked at the densely packed ships docked at the pier on the shore, she was greatly shocked.

Fu Li understood Huang Que's feelings very well, because two years ago when he walked out of the mountains and came to Victory Port, he also suffered a similar impact. However, the renovation of Victory Port had not yet been completed at that time, and there were no foreign merchants visiting here.

Today's prosperity is far from the same. If he had seen what Victory Harbor looks like now, his reaction might not have been as calm as the oriole.

After Fu Li received the task assignment from the Executive Committee, he immediately went to the Guest House to look for Huang Que. As Fu Li expected, Huang Que was obviously curious about everything about this place, including the ceramic bathroom and ceramic tiles in the room.

Running hot water and all the novelties within his reach filled this young man who had just left the mountains with the desire to find out more.

Huang Que was also very happy to see Fu Li coming. He happened to have a lot of problems that he couldn't find anyone to ask for help. Fu Li's arrival could be regarded as a solution to the problem.

"Fu Li, look, when you twist the mechanism above the water pipe, water will flow out on its own, cold water to the left and hot water to the right. What's the point?" Huang Que pulled Fu Li to the bathroom before he could sit down.

Ask yourself the question that is puzzling to you: "Could it be that there are two springs connected to this pipe, one of which is a hot spring?"

Fu Li smiled and said: "You have a good imagination. Although you are not right, it is not far off. This water pipe is not a spring water connection, but a large water tank on the roof. As soon as you twist this end, the water will flow automatically.

It was pressed out of the pipe. One of the water tanks has been heated with coal, so what comes out is naturally hot water."

"I see, but why do the Haihan people do such a laborious thing? Can't they just dig a well in the yard?" Huang Que asked puzzledly.

"When you dig a well, you still have to carry water. Wouldn't it be better to just unscrew it and have it?" Fu Li responded.

Huang Que shook his head and said: "But you said that if the water tank is placed on the roof, doesn't it mean that you have to carry water to the roof?"

"No need, come and see." Fu Li brought Huangque to the window, pointed to the roof of another row of buildings in the guest house and said: "Look, just use a windmill to lift the irrigation device. There is basically no need for human supervision, and the water will flow naturally.

It will be injected into the water tank.”

"I see, this thing is wonderful!" Huang Que said, gearing up: "When I go back, I will ask the cave owner to get a thing like this that can automatically flow water."

"Don't look at it because it's inconspicuous, but it costs a lot to make." Fu Li poured a basin of cold water on Huang Que, who was in high spirits: "This water tank and water pipes must be made of refined iron.

Something that can be made.”

"Ah..." Huangque was obviously hit by the answer given by Fu Li. Although he envied the Haihan people for their convenient setup, it was obvious that the so-called convenience must be based on certain material conditions.

, and this is precisely the shortcoming of Li people's cottages like Shizidong.

"It's okay. You don't have to envy the life here. If you want, you can live here in the future." Fu Li spared no effort to promote the Haihan-style lifestyle to Huang Que: "You can be like me and live here while living.

Study here and work at the same time. The Haihan leaders are happy to hand over some important work to us Li people. They are not as hostile to us as the Han people in the Ming Dynasty. Here we have no distinction between Han, Li and Miao, only Haihan.

identity!"

"It sounds good, but why are the Li people doing things for them instead of them doing things for the Li people?" Huang Que was not immediately tempted by Fu Li's statement, but instead put forward his own opinion.

"That's because the chiefs are very capable! They know everything about astronomy and geography. Everything you see in Victory Port was designed by the chiefs and then built bit by bit with the people here. What they can do

, we can’t do it, but we can follow them to do more things!” Fu Li pointed to the Victory Port Pier in the distance outside the window and said: “Now this is the most prosperous port on Qiongzhou Island, but the leaders hope that one day the entire Qiongzhou

The island has become the most prosperous area in the South China Sea! Wouldn't it be interesting if the chiefs one day ruled Qiongzhou Island?"

"You mean... Haihan will one day occupy the place of the Ming Dynasty?" After all, Huang Que has felt the authority of the Ming Dynasty court since he was a child, and he is a little reluctant to agree with Fu Li's arrogant argument.

"One day, you can go out and grab a random person on the street and ask him who has the final say here, the Ming government or the supreme Haihan Executive Committee!" Fu Li said with a smile: "I guarantee you won't listen.

By the time the second answer appears, the authority of the Executive Committee here has already surpassed that of the Ming Dynasty!"

Huang Que said in confusion: "But when I came ashore, I saw the flag of the Ming Dynasty Inspection Department on the dock..."

"The Yulin Inspection Department of the Ming Dynasty is now taking orders from our Haihan Ministry of Justice." Seeing the disbelief on Huang Que's face, Fu Li said with a smile: "I know you probably won't believe this kind of thing. We will go to the dock later.

Go talk to the people in the Inspection Department and you will understand."

Of course, the Inspection Department is under the jurisdiction of the Yazhou Prefecture. However, in view of the current special political environment in Yazhou, all local Ming official departments obey the orders of the Haihan Executive Committee, and the Inspection Department is naturally no exception. As for the

Wei Ping, this guy, has long forgotten his moral integrity after tasting the sweetness. If the Executive Committee didn't still need to maintain the existence of the Inspection Department, I'm afraid he would have quit his old job and applied for a job.

A naturalized citizen status with better benefits.

Of course, in addition to the Ming official official position of inspection, Wei Ping now also has an informal establishment on the Hai Han side. During the previous period when the Hai Han militia launched a large-scale attack on Hue, the executive committee joined forces with the Yazhou government

A cooperative organization for public security maintenance was established, with the main purpose of managing the recent large influx of Ming immigrants into Sanya in the name of joint law enforcement. The main source of these immigrants is Guangdong and Guangxi, and the importance of Haihan in the hearts of new immigrants is obviously not as high as that of Ming Dynasty.

Without authority, the law enforcement actions of police departments are often resisted by new immigrants.

Under such circumstances, the Executive Committee had to once again resort to the tried-and-tested shield of the Ming Dynasty government. Fortunately, the Yazhou government and the Executive Committee basically have a trousers-wearing relationship. For this kind of

Naturally, Zhang Qing would not get too hung up on "minor issues". With one official document, Zhang Qing approved the inspection departments of Yulin, Fenghuang, and Nanshan under Yazhou, and the police department under the Haihan Executive Committee.

A joint law enforcement brigade was formed to manage civil security affairs in the area from the Liangjiang River Basin to Nanshan Town - in fact, this is the scope of the Sanya New Area planned by the Executive Committee.

The leader of this temporary joint law enforcement brigade is Wei Ping, and the deputy is Ren Liang on Haihan's side. Of course, this kind of appointment must be a deputy with real power, while the principal position is just a temporary decoration. This establishment is also for convenience.

Law enforcement and handling of immigrants - those who obey Haihan will be managed according to Haihan's rules, and those who do not obey Haihan will be governed according to the laws of Ming Dynasty.

In terms of the formulation and implementation of laws, Haihan's method is obviously more scientific and rigorous. The Ministry of Justice in charge of Gu Kai referred to various professional laws of later generations and formulated a legal framework for all aspects of social life. The Ming Law is mainly

There are five punishments, ten evils, and eight discussions. Among them, the "Name of the Law" has a total of forty-seven articles, which is the outline of the entire law. The household laws that are closely related to ordinary people are divided into "household service", "land and residence law"

", "Marriage", "Warehouse", "Course", "Money and Debt" and "Business" seven volumes, covering population, household registration, religion, land, taxation, corvee, marriage, banknote law, treasury, salt law

, tea law, alum law, commercial tax, foreign trade, lending, market and other social fields may seem quite rigorous, but in the eyes of legal experts like Gu Kai, they are full of loopholes.

The intention of the Executive Committee is to implement the Haihan legal system as early as possible in its own jurisdiction. Therefore, although the Inspection Department is usually responsible for arresting people, the Haihan Ministry of Justice is responsible for the trial and execution.

.This strange situation that only appeared in special periods was also used by later generations of scholars as research materials for the history of law.

Half an hour later, Fu Li led Huangque to find Wei Ping at the dock of Sanya Port. He was supervising the assembly of a boatload of new immigrants from Guangzhou at the dock. Wei Ping usually dealt with the most

In addition to commerce and trade, the department was the Ministry of Justice, and he naturally recognized Fu Li, the little celebrity in the department. After hearing Fu Li explain his purpose, Wei Ping motioned for them to follow him to the tent where he worked.

"Have you seen this seal? Yulin Inspection Department, do you recognize this thing?" Wei Ping picked up the official seal and handed it to Huang Que.

Huang Que looked at Fu Li, saw him nodding, and then took the hand to confirm.

"How useful this thing is depends on how much combat power you have in your hands and how strong your boss behind the scenes is. Just a name is of no use. In the early years, Victory Port was often crowded with people.

Pirates came ashore, and even the guard posts set up by the Ming Dynasty army were evacuated, and the Yulin Inspection Department was just an empty sign." Wei Ping said with regret: "I have been an inspection officer for four years.

The actual work in Yulin was only after the Haihan people built Victory Port here. Without the Haihan people, this place would probably still be a wasteland, so the Haihan people want to take over this place. I, Wei Ping, am convinced.

As for the Inspection Department of the Ming Dynasty, it is actually dispensable. If some immigrants from the Ming Dynasty were not so peaceful and the executive committee did not want to cause trouble, the Inspection Department could have been abolished long ago."

After all, Huang Que had spent a few days in Han territory, so he knew the general up-and-down relationship of the Ming Dynasty's official system. After hearing Wei Ping's explanation, he couldn't help but ask: "Then the Inspection Department takes orders from the Han people, and Yazhou doesn't care."

?”

"Lord Zhizhou also listens to the Executive Committee." Wei Ping said with a smile: "Lord Zhizhou's precious son-in-law, General Luo Shengdongluo of Yacheng Water Village, is now the largest private salt dealer in Qiongzhou Island, and the source of his goods is the Shengli Port Salt Farm.

, which side do you think Mr. Zhizhou will help?"

"What about Qiongzhou Fucheng?" Huang Que continued to ask.

"Those officials in Qiongzhou Fucheng just want to make money. As for who is an official in Yacheng and who is in charge, they don't care at all." Wei Ping shook his head helplessly and said: "The Haihan Executive Committee sends gifts every year

There are at least tens of thousands of taels of silver arriving in the capital of Qiongzhou. Even if those officials don't give Haihan face, they will definitely give the money face. The Haihan people in Yazhou can do whatever they want, as long as they don't openly raise the flag of rebellion, they

I don’t care who is in charge here.”

Speaking of which, Huang Que can probably feel the prestige of Haihan in the local area. Since even official law enforcement agencies such as the Inspection Department are helping the Haihan people, then what Fu Li had praised before

It seems that those seaports may be real. Thinking of this, Huang Que couldn't help but become more curious about Haihan as a group.
