    "I heard that there was another quarrel over at Lingao during the regular meeting?"

    "Yes, Xiao Lang is recovering from his injury and is starting to become active again. This time he is the one who spearheaded the proposal."

    Over at Qiongzhou Mansion, Zhao Lide, who accidentally lit a fire, did not feel guilty at all. Instead, he happily discussed the news he knew with Chi Zhengjie.

    "Xiao Lang's proposal Don't think about it, it must be the same thing as 'those who are not from my race must have different minds'."

    "Hmm, but this time he learned the lesson wisely. He roped in Xie Xi to sign a joint letter with him. If Lao Jie is on his side, a lot of people behind him won't object. And since we raised the black issue first, we  People here will definitely not object, and with his own group of people, the possibility of the issue being passed is very high."

    "Then what does he want? It is obviously impossible to completely control foreign workers. We have too many places where we need people."

    "First of all, we need to investigate and make statistics to find out how many foreign workers we have here, as well as the racial distribution of the population. Previously, we only focused on recruiting people, which was indeed a bit messy in this regard. Then, there are corresponding restrictions. In the end, it is estimated that there will be  Let’s create a system similar to a green card and a naturalization oath Anyway, we have ready-made examples to imitate, right?"

    “Hehe, I’m really looking forward to it when I think about the sight of a large number of white-skinned people racking their brains to immigrate here in a few years.”

    "There is no need to wait a few years. This situation is already developing in Luzon. A large number of Spanish and Dutch settlers are seeking to settle there. The Chinese are almost becoming a superior clan there, and the most proud among them  The two families are Beiwei and Chen Tao’s father-in-law’s family"

    Although Zhao Lide is "outside" Qiongzhou, he has no problem grasping intelligence information from everywhere. He is worthy of being the number one intelligence master in the Qiong Navy.  Of course, this is also because the telegraph room of Qiongzhou Prefecture is very close to Lingao. They still use radio relay to transmit messages. Qiongzhou Prefecture can receive the messages summarized from various places to the Lingao headquarters.  Zhao Lide has the highest authority password here, so he can naturally get the same communication efficiency as the headquarters.

    Zhao Lide didn't care how the headquarters would treat this proposal. From a personal perspective, he was willing to support Xiao Lang and the others who worked hard to build Hainan Island, and finally it looked like a paradise.  In order to let a group of foreigners come to pick peaches.

    Even if they are willing to accept some of the outstanding talents into this group, it must be based on the premise that the other party is willing to easily integrate into them, not the other way around.

    Soon after the conversation between the two, news came from Lingao headquarters saying that Xiao Lang's proposal was approved.  All localities are required to conduct a comprehensive inventory of foreign nationals, foreign races, and foreign religious personnel, and at the same time solicit everyone's opinions on what policies should be used to control foreign workers.

    Qiong Haijun currently controls several territories: Weihai, Shandong, is located in the Central Plains, and does not have the above problems at all; Taiwan Island is isolated overseas, that is, the Zheng family has successively moved some Japanese to the island, but the number is not large.  And they are all directly employed by the Zheng family. In addition, the Japanese nationality is to obey the strong, so they are easy to control.

    So actually only Luzon and Hainan Island have this problem.  The Chinese in Luzon are a minority, and the local natives are the aborigines.  In the past, white people were in charge, but now they are of Chinese descent. Therefore, Shi Kefa, the person in charge of civil affairs there, originally focused on how to "civilize" the local natives to integrate into the great cause of Chinese orthodoxy. There was no need for Qiong Haijun to do anything else.  Give instructions.

    As for the local Baiyi, they have fallen from the original status of masters to second-class citizens and become "guests". They must not be able to adapt psychologically, and there must be a lot of small actions in private.  However, correspondingly, the surveillance and observation of them has never been relaxed. It is the commander of Jinyiwei Liao Yong and others who are responsible for this. They are very familiar with this. After overcoming the initial sense of alienation caused by customs, race and other issues,  , Jin Yiwei immediately used the same vigor as in the past to monitor the Donglin Party for the Nine Thousand Years, and planted spies in almost every wealthy local white family

    So when the request from the Hainan headquarters was sent there, they didn't need to make any other arrangements at all. They just handed over a copy of the surveillance report that was submitted to Mr. Shi for review. Originally, they could just send it directly to Baiyantan, and it had nothing to do with Qiongzhou Prefecture.  of.  However, Zhou Sheng went to visit him personally and gave a copy of this report to Zhao Lide. He said it was to "exchange information," but in fact, of course, it was just to see his old Zhao joke.

    This is a rare occasion when the Jinyiwei system surpasses the urban management team in terms of efficiency.  Zhao Lide was really helpless about this. Among the several territories, his Qiongzhou Prefecture was the most chaotic.  The key is that the people here have accepted short-haired rule for the longest time and are most adaptable to their way of rule.  There are benefits to showing this??There are also disadvantages, but the advantage is that it is more cooperative. Many things are piloted here first, and then promoted in other places after success.  But what's the downside? Naturally, the locals are bolder and dare to bargain with government departments on many things, especially after they have the support of the parliament.

    As the famous saying goes: 300% profit is enough to risk hanging one's head.  What's more, Qiong Haijun has no restrictions on the use of foreign workers for a long time, and they are no longer allowed to make money legally?

    But now that there is a formal order from the committee, Zhao Lide has no scruples in taking action again.  Invite some leading figures from local councils and chambers of commerce, and have a cup of tea and talk. After we talk things through, they are still willing to cooperate.  Although those wealthy families were somewhat disapproving of the short-haired old man's sudden and inexplicable worry about "foreign blood confounding my Chinese orthodoxy", since it was a task assigned by Mr. Zhao, they all agreed to go back and investigate.

    This investigation really revealed some problems. There are indeed people in the local area who have been organizing a large number of foreigners to sneak into the country for a long time and engage in agricultural production activities in the local area for almost more than a year!

    Zhao Lide was shocked after receiving the report. He thought to himself, is there anyone under my nose who can do this?  I quickly inquired carefully, only to find that this matter was originally almost semi-public. Neither the person handling it nor the facilitator thought there was any problem, so naturally no one reported it.  Moreover, after these people come over, they can easily hide among the people and are almost impossible to detect.

    Because they are Vietnamese, they look exactly the same as the locals, and even their language is similar.

    Even the people who presided over this matter themselves had almost semi-official status. They were the envoys of the Annan Ruan family and the Zheng family who had been stationed in Hainan for a long time. They had official official positions in their respective courts, but on the Ming side  , can only be regarded as an ordinary merchant.

    They had been arguing for a while over this identity issue. Both families claimed to be "orthodox" and wanted Qiong Haijun to expel the other party. In the end, Short Hair was angered and said that we are just doing business, regardless of whether you are right or wrong. Who will do it again?  Anyone who was verbose would get out of here, and then it finally became quiet.

    After that, they finally gave up the boring battle over status and focused on doing business: Vietnam's specialty rice and wood, as well as high-quality lump coal from Hongji Coal Mine, are all commodities in urgent need here in Hainan, while Annan's demand for short-haired  The demand for industrial products is also huge.  In the past few years, the import and export amounts of the two sides have been basically equal, which is rare among the forces that trade with Qiong Haijun.

    However, now Zhao Lide understands that this "trade balance" is not just the trade of goods, but also includes a part of the trade of people. The Ruan and Zheng families actually did the same thing: they sold all the people they captured during the war to Hainan.  Coming!

    Of course, people cannot be bought and sold directly here, but the minds of the Annan people are much stronger than those of the Westerners. All the laborers "voluntarily" signed a thirty-year employment contract with the ship owner on the ship. After arriving here, it is nothing more than  It's just a matter of changing hands of the employment contract. The new owner needs to pay a sum of money to compensate the original employer. This shorthair law does not prohibit it.

    Does anyone disagree?  Maybe there are, but such people cannot get to Hainan and are thrown off the ship halfway. Those who can step on the ground of Hainan Island alive are definitely "honest and good people". As for whether they will escape when they get here, and  How the new employer prevents them from escaping is another matter.

    But having said that, most of those prisoners of war were farmers before joining the army. Farming is an almost innate skill. They can adapt quickly after arriving here, and the requirements are not high. They are the labor force that local big families love to hire.  .  And with the demand for labor here, it's impossible for them to be so ferocious. But these are all prisoners of war, and they may have seen blood on the battlefield.  It really makes people anxious. It is not the worst outcome to go to the government to complain and get beaten up.  It would be unjust to receive a knife for nothing and lose one's personal property.

    Therefore, the landowners here have a whole set of gentle means to appease those Annan laborers: first, they give them good food and drink, and then they find some Annan fellow villagers to come over to preach the benefits and promise a bright future and other means, many of which are still  Got it from a shorthaired refugee camp.

    With such a complete process, most people can handle it.  Those who really don't want to stay can just return it to the seller. This business of selling prisoners of war cannot be done by ordinary people. Behind it are two government agencies in Annan. The "buyout money" paid by the employers here is mostly fake.  With the military expenditures of those two companies, if you need "after-sales service", you don't have to worry about finding the right owner.

    It’s just that this made Zhao Lide feel a little headache. Since it was related to the two political powers, he couldn’t simply order a ban.

    I have no choice but to leave a post and find a time to invite the two envoys to have tea together.
