Chapter 94 Population Importation

The sleepy immigrants were quickly shouted out of the tents by the security guards and slowly gathered in the open space outside the camp. Then someone brought several large buckets and several large baskets of pottery bowls and began to distribute breakfast to the immigrants.

The immigrants consciously formed several long lines in front of the big barrels - when dinner was distributed last night, many people who did not understand the rules rushed forward and ate sticks, and were all beaten by the security guards until they screamed and screamed. It was so vivid.

The example clearly helped them quickly understand the rules of eating here.

Today's breakfast is still white porridge, vegetables and salted fish, but no one expressed dissatisfaction with this. Being able to eat three meals a day, and every meal is meaty, is difficult for them to enjoy even if they did not lose their family property in the past.

Such treatment. Those children who were dizzy with hunger because of their family's dilemma were very happy about it. They didn't understand why they had white rice porridge to eat after they came here, but the voice from the loudspeaker kept reminding them.

The fact that they have food to eat, a house to live in, and books to study here are all given by the Executive Committee. The children don’t understand what the Executive Committee is. In fact, even their parents don’t understand either, but there is one thing

The thing is obvious - the executive committee is rich and powerful and is willing to give poor people like them a bite to eat. As long as they obey the orders of the executive committee, anyone can continue to live in this place.

After breakfast, the human resources department will begin to allocate these immigrants. Most of them will be assigned to two communes, the farm and the salt farm. After a period of work, the managers will select some of them who are more flexible.

People go to work in factories. A small number of craftsmen who have registered their skills when applying will be singled out and assigned to relevant units. Carpenters go to the carpentry room, blacksmiths go to the metallurgical workshop, and plasterers go to the construction department. Although these craftsmen are few in number, they are

After all, he can be considered a skilled worker, and he will get started quickly after going to a relevant unit.

Children under the age of fourteen are singled out, and they will focus on learning basic courses for seven to ten days. Then, based on what the teacher observes, some of the smarter children will stay in school to continue learning.

Some children who are considered to be of poor quality will be taken away by the Military and Police Department and enter the newly established Scout Camp. Although there are also reading and literacy courses in the Scout Camp, the path these children will take will be completely different. Among them,

Most of the people will stay in the Scout camp until they are sixteen years old, and then most of them will enter the military camp directly and become a glorious Haihan warrior. A few people with outstanding performance will receive higher-level military training and become future soldiers.

reserve officer.

The immigrants were not clear about their future arrangements, so there was no resistance at all. After completing the distribution, they were taken to the dock construction site not far from the temporary camp. Before entering their respective jobs, they

There is another training item that must be completed, which is to visit the labor camp. The executive committee believes that seeing the hard labor life in the labor camp will make these immigrants appreciate the opportunities they have received more.

The schedule of the labor camp has always been very full, with people working at sunrise and resting at sunset. The daily working time is almost double that of ordinary workers. And such high-intensity work for a long time will inevitably cause the loss of personnel.

, before Luo Shengdong's men were released, two of them died in the labor camp. Except for some of the remaining lucky ones who followed Luo Shengdong back to Yazhou Water Village, the others were assigned to communes.

, barely able to get rid of the life of hard labor. As for the second batch of pirate prisoners sent to the labor camp, seven people have died so far, and there are more than a dozen lucky ones who are familiar with the sea conditions and sailing skills, and have no bad records.

After being found out, he was asked by the Ministry of Shipping to supplement the crew.

Of course, the service personnel in the labor camp are not limited to these two groups of prisoners. Anyone who makes trouble within the jurisdiction of Chuanzhong will be thrown into the labor camp as long as they are caught, and will be sentenced to different periods of hard labor depending on the severity of the case. After the implementation of this measure,

Maintaining local security also played a certain role in keeping the number of hard laborers in the labor camp at around a hundred people. Especially after the security team of the mixed formations of the Han, Li and Miao ethnic groups was put into use, the executive committee originally had some problems.

The troublesome ethnic conflict has finally been resolved. Now in this labor camp, people from the Li and Miao ethnic groups have also been captured to serve.

Gao Qiaonan had been notified by Ren Liang yesterday and knew that a group of immigrants would come to the construction site to visit and study this morning. Before starting work today, he specially put on his cleanest set of clothes and tied his hair neatly into a bun.

He also put on the pair of green liberation shoes given to him by Ren Liangfa. After everything was ready, he took the small leather whip he used to "supervise" the hard laborers and set off to the construction site.

So all the immigrants saw how a vicious little man used whips and curses to maintain order on the construction site, especially the unlucky guy who was sent to the labor camp just last night. In just a few moments, his hands and feet were damaged.

Tai Shou was whipped several times, and his screams were even louder than when he was beaten by the security guards yesterday. And there would not be a good gentleman like Ning Qi here to dissuade Takahashi Nan, even his immediate boss Ren Liang

Just watching all this happen with a smile - the purpose of the labor camp is not only to punish prisoners, but more importantly, to warn those who have not made mistakes yet, so that they can realize in advance what will happen if they make a mistake.

dire consequences.

The ragged hard labor, the fierce-looking overseers, the endless toil, everything they saw in the labor camp made the immigrants turn pale, and they secretly reminded themselves not to make mistakes, which gave the Haihan people the opportunity to put themselves into labor camps.

Excuse for camp.

After the visit and study, people sent by each unit led the assigned immigrants to different places. Those going to the Saltworks Commune had the longest journey and needed to board the ship again at Victory Port. But if the workload is not mentioned,

Those who go to the salt field are relatively lucky. There are only a few crossing workers who are responsible for the leadership of the commune management committee. The workers receive relatively less supervision and have more freedom than other units. And a few are skilled.

The units to which craftsmen are assigned have a large number of workers, and they are under supervision at all times. However, because they are technical types of work, the corresponding labor points will be higher than in other units.

Of course, the most promising ones are those children. Whether they stay in school or enter the Scout camp, these children will be a resource that the executive committee attaches great importance to in the future. In a few years, a number of home-grown skills will gradually emerge among them.

personnel, civil affairs cadres and grassroots military officers.

In the afternoon of the same day, another fleet arrived at Victory Port. This was the first batch of prisoners sent by Luo Shengdong from the mainland to be sent to Yazhou for hard labor as promised. This batch of people totaled more than 270 people.

About 80% of them are men, with only a small number of women and children. The vast majority of these people are innocent people who were implicated in the sentencing of some major cases. Some of them just live in the same village or street with the main criminal.

Some were sentenced to exile in a confused manner, and some were sentenced to consecutive imprisonment because of their kinship with the prisoner. Basically, they were all prisoners with very light charges.

The prisoners sent to Yazhou are generally divided into three categories. The first category is the prisoners sent by Luo Shengdong who have not committed any crime themselves and are simply implicated by others. The second category is the prisoners who have serious crimes and cannot be released.

, this kind of people have been imprisoned in Yazhou Prison all year round, and Luo Shengdong can't get him out even if he wants to. The third category is officials who made mistakes and were demoted. Many of these people still have the possibility of being reinstated.

Even when he arrived in Yazhou, he still enjoyed the treatment of a celebrity, and Luo Shengdong would definitely not be able to do anything about it.

Among these three categories of people, the first category has the largest number, but it is also the most troublesome for the local government of Yazhou to deal with. These prisoners must eat food to survive, but it is not so easy to make these prisoners work. There is no local output in Yazhou.

Not to mention large-scale manufacturing, there are no labor-intensive industries that can produce benefits in the short term, so almost the only place for the working population is farming. However, land annexation is serious around Yazhou, and a large number of tenant farmers have begun to lose their jobs.

Due to the current situation, if you want to farm, you have to go further to open up wasteland. But sending prisoners to open up wasteland and sending troops to guard it is also a big expense. How to feed the thousands of local prisoners has become a problem for all generations.

This is a huge headache for local governments.

The proposal of Yazhou Shuizhai Chief Luo Shengdong gave the local officials here a new way to solve this problem. Luo Shengdong suggested sending these prisoners to the newly built villages and towns of the Haihan people in the east.

, let the Haihan people who are in urgent need of a large number of laborers be responsible for feeding these prisoners. If something goes wrong, the place is a hundred miles away from Yazhou, and it will not affect the safety of Yazhou. Of course, these superficial things

The reasons are all secondary. The most important point is that the Haihan people are willing to pay some price for it, such as silver and gold that everyone likes.

In the past, the state government had to provide financial subsidies to Yazhou Prison every year to feed these prisoners who could not create enough production value. But now this situation seems to be changing, not to mention throwing out this huge financial burden.

If there is still money to be made from this, then it is obvious what choice to make in this matter. After discussions between the prefect, co-presidents and general judges, the prefectural government issued a document authorizing Shuizhai Chief Luo Shengdong to be responsible for operating this matter.

Of course, if something goes wrong, such as a large-scale escape of prisoners or failure to recover the fees that should be collected, then the person who needs to stand up and take the blame is also Luo Shengdong.
