Chapter 979 A different Danzhou

Compared with other prefectures and counties on Hainan Island, Danzhou has such a not-so-glamorous "record" and has been the focus of the military and security departments since then. Even the Qiongbei area has been the focus of attention every year.

Anti-enemy and anti-special forces drills have always been carried out in Danzhou, with the purpose of deterring the "remnants of disobedience" among the people who still have evil intentions. However, Haihan has been in a period of rapid growth in the past few years, and the people naturally

I can also feel that the environment I live in is constantly changing in a good direction. Coupled with Haihan's never-relaxed propaganda work and the population structure that is constantly being diluted by naturalized people from other ethnic groups, the vast majority of Han people have gradually accepted it.

Your own identity changes.

The current proportion of naturalized citizens under Danzhou's rule accounts for just over 70% of the registered population, while the naturalized proportion of Han people has reached as high as 90%. Most of the remaining unnaturalized people are left-behind people from some inland Li and Miao villages.

, do not want to go out of the mountains to register any "household registration" in Danzhou City. For this kind of people, the civil affairs department does not force them. Most of the young people in the Li-Miao village have already gone out of the mountains and come to the outside world to work for Haihan. As long as

In a few years, when these young Li and Miao people have settled down outside the mountains and have the next generation, the impact of traditional ethnic differences will naturally be eliminated.

The current official in charge of power in Danzhou is still Zhang Xin. During his time in Danzhou, he had married two wives and had a pair of children. Last year, the executive committee asked him for his opinion on whether to be transferred back to Sanya. As a result, Zhang Xin asked his family

After hearing this, I decided to stay in Danzhou for a while and wait for my little daughter, who is not in good health, to get better before considering a job transfer.

The Speedy sailed slowly into Danzhou Bay under the escort of two exploration-class sailing ships and docked at Baimajing Pier. Just like the previous stops of this inspection trip, the pier had already been blocked by Haihan soldiers with live ammunition.

After leaving an area, the local gentry and people who came to greet the nobles were blocked from this cordon.

After Zhang Xin met with Ning Qi and his party, he introduced the local administrative staff to him. Danzhou has learned from the past, so Haihan's governance here is no longer an office model like Yacheng, but

It truly took over the local administration in an all-round way. Although the Ming Dynasty's Yamen in Danzhou still remains, it has stopped daily operations and is no longer open to the outside world. It has actually become a historical relic. The institutions set up by Haihan in Danzhou are relatively

Comprehensive, administrative, civil, commerce and finance, culture, education, health, and military security all have corresponding departments in charge. There are seven or eight people in charge of each unit who are qualified to stand behind Zhang Xin and be introduced.

After introducing these people, Zhang Xin asked the guards to bring several local gentry representatives from outside the isolation zone and introduce them to Ning Qi. Ning Qi himself is the chief official of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and of course he understands the relationship between these people.

It is necessary for people in the upper class of society to maintain good relations with each other. At present, they are very patient and greet each other with a smile.

Among these people are local wealthy businessmen, celebrities in the cultural circles, well-known local elders, and retired Ming Dynasty officials. Most of them have learned about Haihan's plan to establish a country through various news channels, and this time it is also

I had inquired with Zhang Xin in advance and found out that the people who came to Danzhou for inspection recently were important people like imperial envoys. They were all people who planned to stay under Haihan's rule for a long time, so they naturally wanted to seize this opportunity to curry favor with them.

A big shot from Sanya.

Seeing this posture, Van Diemen knew that the next event today was probably the customary reception banquet. Although he wanted to cancel this event directly, he felt that it would be a pity to give up an opportunity to contact the local people. After all,

One of the purposes of this expedition around the island is to contact the people under Haihan's rule in order to collect first-hand information. And these people are obviously local dignitaries, and the information obtained from them will definitely be greater than that of

The information that Lower Riba people can provide is of greater value.

Sure enough, after greeting the local gentry, Zhang Xin mentioned the arrangements for the reception banquet, saying that the banquet had been set up in the city at the Nanhai Restaurant where Haihan set up a bureau to arrest the local gangster Huang Zixing and others. Ning Qi met Fan.

Dimen expressed no objection to this arrangement and agreed to Zhang Xin's arrangement.

Nanhai Restaurant is one of the oldest and largest restaurants in Danzhou. After the arrests were carried out here, the restaurant's business was not negatively affected, but became even more prosperous. The owner even hired someone to write a book

He carved a version of "Ode to Capturing Thieves" and hung it on the wall of the store on the ground floor to praise Haihan's achievements in pacifying the place. Although this has obvious signs of flattery, the effect is indeed good, and it has become Dan Dan in the past few years.

It is a special cultural landscape in the city. Zhang Xin is naturally happy to see this kind of praise. Although he also knows that the purpose of the shop owner is to flatter and hype, it will help consolidate Haihan's local rule and his

Personal reputation is indeed beneficial and harmless, so I turn a blind eye to it.

Many carriages that everyone was riding in stopped outside the Nanhai Restaurant one after another. The owner and shopkeeper of the restaurant, who had been notified in advance, as well as several waiters and cooks, all lined up outside the restaurant to greet them respectfully. The pomp and ceremony was also complete.

.Several teams of black-clad police officers had already deployed controls inside and outside the restaurant in advance, and even specially cleared a safe area on the street. The security work was very thorough and in place.

In order to cater to the tastes of Haihan's upper class, the chefs in the Nanhai Restaurant were specially sent to Sanya to receive cooking training. Their cooking skills are quite high. Some common Haihan dishes can even be made similar to those in Victory Fort.

The chefs are on par with each other. Zhang Xin arranged the reception banquet here not only for safety reasons, but also because of the strength of the restaurant itself.

Of course, Zhang Xin does not need to pay for this meal personally or from an official organization. These guests here have already prepaid for this meal, which can be considered as a way to buy this meal with the senior leader from Sanya.

Opportunity, in terms of per capita cost, this deal is actually quite cost-effective.

As for why Chief Ning brought an envoy from a foreign country along with him during his patrol, everyone thought it didn't matter. They thought he wanted to use this to show his strength to the red-haired people, just like the previous resident office would often spend its own money to send some valuable locals to the local area.

Just like when influential people go to Sanya to study and study, anyone who has stayed there for a period of time will no longer question Haihan's strength.

Although Van Diemen couldn't understand Chinese, fortunately, Ning Qi translated for him word for word. Even with his stumbling, he could roughly understand what everyone was talking about at the table. Of course, during this period, people kept getting up and toasting, but

After this period of training, Van Diemen also learned how to deal with it - he saw that Ning Qi would raise a glass and touch his lips when toasting to his subordinates, even after a round of drinking, so he followed suit.

With this way of drinking, you won't get drunk even if you drink it for a whole day.

After Zhang Xin's naturalized cadres walked around, it was the turn of the local civil representatives. The first person to come up and toast was Yan Mingjun, the magistrate of Danzhou who was still in office. However, after the assassination of Danzhou three years ago

After the case, Yan Mingjun wisely chose to hand over his power and enjoy a free and easy life. In addition to the salary from the court, Haihan would also give him a large amount of "office allowance" every year.

And all he needed to do was to praise Haihan in regular official documents and vigorously promote Haihan's local contributions.

Of course, Haihan built bridges and paved roads in the local area, revitalized commerce and trade, and promoted culture and education. These are indeed real deeds and are not fabricated lies. Therefore, Yan Mingjun does not need to overstate Haihan's presence in Danzhou in official documents.

All you need to do is maintain an objective attitude and describe it truthfully.

Yan Mingjun also knew that if what he did in Danzhou was known to the court, he would inevitably be charged with dereliction of duty, so after he took refuge in Haihan, he successively brought his family from Luodingzhou, Guangdong to Danzhou, and felt at ease here.

Yan Mingjun thought very clearly that if the court wanted to hold people accountable in the future, he would have no choice but to betray the Ming Dynasty completely. However, Haihan's approach in this regard was quite kind, and he would treat all the Ming Dynasty officials who surrendered to them.

Providing necessary means of shelter, even if the person is listed as a criminal by the Ming Dynasty, as long as Haihan abides by the law, he will still get a job provided by Haihan officials to make a living.

For example, Yan Mingjun's current main job, apart from his job as the governor of Danzhou, is as a special consultant to the Danzhou Federation of Literary and Art Circles. Yan Mingjun originally likes poetry and poetry, so this job only requires him to deal with the literary circle.

His job was simply a pleasure for him. Although he lost the prestige of a local official, the corresponding pressure was also relieved. At least Yan Mingjun didn't have to worry about what he would do if Haihan really wanted to rebel one day.

The local magistrate pulled him out and chopped it up to offer sacrifices to the sky.

Yan Mingjun only heard about the news that Haihan was about to be founded a few years later. However, unlike most people who were uneasy after hearing the news, Yan Mingjun felt relieved. As a leader, Yan Mingjun felt relieved.

As a former fifth-rank imperial official, Yan Mingjun definitely viewed Haihan from a much higher perspective than ordinary people, so the changes in the situation he felt were also more profound and comprehensive.

When Yan Mingjun was threatened by Haihan in Danzhou and had to give in to save his life, he thought Haihan was just a group of gangsters trying to cause trouble. But as time went by, he slowly discovered that these overseas visitors really

Qiongzhou Island is governed as a country, and its ability to govern the country is really good. Almost all fields are developing rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, especially the investment in infrastructure, culture and education, which far exceeds

Daming.

Although Haihan also adopted some violent methods to deal with the rebels, most of the time he used relatively mild methods to gradually win the trust and support of the people. These comprehensive measures of kindness and power allowed Haihan to conquer the people in just a few years.

Local public sentiment. As the proportion of naturalized people increases, Yan Mingjun also knows that the possibility of Qiongzhou Island returning to the hands of the Ming Dynasty is getting smaller and smaller. In fact, it has been separated from the control of the Ming Dynasty. The final

The first step is to see when Haihan declares the founding of the country.

At this time last year, Yan Mingjun felt that the time was ripe, but the Haihan army sent to Fujian to attack Taiwan Island, and then went north to Zhejiang to attack Zhoushan. In the second half of the year, the Haihan army reportedly went to Nanyang and made a large circle. As a result, the founding of the country

The matter was postponed until this year. Haihan announced the founding of the country, and Yan Mingjun was completely dead and wanted to return to the Ming Dynasty. He planned to be a rich man in Danzhou with peace of mind.

"Master Yan, I need you to take more care of the recent official affairs." Ning Qi saw Yan Mingjun coming to toast, and he was very polite to him at the moment.

Yan Mingjun hurriedly said humbly: "From now on, the leader must not mention the word "sir" again. I have never been an official in Haihan, so how dare I call you "sir" in vain?

Seeing that he was well-informed and knowledgeable, Ning Qi became more fond of him, and immediately said: "Master Yan, you're welcome. After we found the country, we will organize local people to set up supervisory agencies to assist local officials in governing the areas. People like Master Yan have political experience."

People like us will definitely be able to give us a lot of help in the future.”

Yan Mingjun knew Ning Qi's identity, so he immediately regarded his words as a statement of the Executive Committee, and quickly thanked him: "I am so virtuous and capable, I am afraid that I will betray the trust of the Executive Committee!"

Ning Qi smiled and said: "We have all seen Mr. Yan's performance in recent years. We have already made a conclusion on whether he should be appointed and how he should be appointed. The future development of Danzhou does require Yan.

When people of insight like you join in and work together, you no longer need to be humble and decline."

Ning Qi's words gave Yan Mingjun, who had already given up on his official career, a glimmer of hope. Although Ning Qi's tone suggested that he was not directly appointed as an official, he at least had some say in the matter, which was better than today's "Literary and Art Federation".

"Advisor" is much better. If a civil servant like him does not have particularly outstanding qualifications in governance, it will be difficult for him to be appointed by Haihan. In this regard, he will suffer a lot compared to the military attache. Dan, who was appointed with him at the beginning,

State Counselor Li Jin was quickly absorbed by the Haihan military after defecting to Haihan. Now he is an officer with a formal establishment in the Haihan militia army, and his steps are much faster than his Yan Mingjun.

If he could get a chance to return to officialdom, Yan Mingjun would still be willing to give it a try. Although this seemed a bit inconsistent with his status as the magistrate of Ming Dynasty, which he still held a temporary post in, it was at the beginning of the founding of Haihan and he was an official in Haihan at this time.

, he can be regarded as a founding hero. In the future, the next generation of the Yan family will seek wealth, and this is also one of the capitals that can be used. Of course, as for whether this capital is thin or thick, and whether it is substantial enough, it depends on the ability of Yan Mingjun.

Can't seize the opportunity to climb up.
