Chapter 2483

The Haihan National Day in 1649 was not much different from the past twenty years. The city of Sanya, the capital, was decorated with red and colorful banners celebrating the festival. Banners celebrating the festival could be seen everywhere. Large and small shops on both sides of the Sanya landscape were hung with banners.

With the red and blue Haihan flag, many businesses took advantage of the situation to launch some holiday promotions, attracting a large number of people to stop and watch on the streets.

The front pages of several newspapers published recently are all commentary articles exaggerating the atmosphere of the National Day. The general content is naturally to trace the various construction achievements made by Haihan in the past year and to praise the wisdom and prowess of the Executive Committee. Other pages

Most of them were bought by various overseas colonial areas to promote local development and construction achievements.

For example, the Donghai Colonial Zone, which has deep pockets, bought a full page of the National Day special issue of Haihan Times, listing the various political achievements of the region last year.

Today, the scope of the East China Sea Colonial Zone is no longer just the Zhoushan Islands. Most of the former Ningbo Prefecture has also been included under the jurisdiction. Even the administrative seat of the colonial zone has been moved from Zhoushan Dinghai Port to Ningbo City. Haihan Implementation

The trade measures attracted a lot of wealth, and this became the most prosperous area in the entire Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions.

In addition to Ningbo Prefecture, the Jeju Island area, which was originally part of North Korea, has now become a concession under Haihan due to the debt issue between the two countries, and has also been included in the jurisdiction of the East China Sea Colonial Zone.

In addition, there is the Sasebo Bay area located in the northwest of Kyushu Island, Japan, which is also one of the jurisdictions of the East China Sea Colonial Zone. It is not only Haihan's only military base in the Japanese archipelago, but also functions as a trading port. It is located with Zhoushan

Similar to the seaport, there is also a designated area in Sasebo Bay to accommodate merchant ships and sailors from various countries.

Because Japan implemented a strict isolation policy during this period, even traditional trading partners such as the Netherlands and Portugal were greatly restricted. There was only one foreign trade window in the country, Nagasaki Port. However, the arrival of Haihan broke this situation

In a closed situation, Sasebo Bay, not far from Nagasaki, quickly became the international trade center of the Japanese archipelago because it followed the mature trade system of Haihan.

Moreover, under the coercion of the Haihan East China Sea Fleet, Japan was forced to open up trade rights to Osaka, Nagoya, Edo, etc., allowing Haihan merchants to enter these areas to engage in trade activities.

Of course, such special treatment is exclusive to Haihan. Other foreign countries are not eligible to enjoy the same treatment. They can only set up trading institutions in Sasebo Bay to complete the purchase and sale of goods and the delivery of money locally.

Even if the Japanese shogunate was dissatisfied with this situation, they could only swallow their anger. After all, when Kaihan was angry, the armed fleet would sail into Edo Bay at any time and even bombard Edo Castle. No one could bear the consequences.

Jeju Island and Sasebo Bay are both located near the Tsushima Strait between the Korean Peninsula and the Japanese archipelago, so it is not only the trade relationship between Japan and Haihan that is affected by this, but the traditional trade between Japan and North Korea also has to accept Haihan's

Supervision.

The East China Sea Colonial Zone has a decisive influence on the maritime trade among the four East Asian countries, and it can naturally earn huge profits from international trade with this influence. Therefore, the political achievements of the East China Sea Colonial Zone published in the "Haihan Times",

It is mainly focused on the economic field. Although the area under its jurisdiction is relatively small among the overseas colonial areas, the amount of taxes paid to the treasury by the East China Sea Colonial Area is one of the best, even exceeding that of the area not long after it was incorporated under the rule of Haihan.

Fuguang area.

Such publicity measures are not only to show merit to the executive committee, but also attract a lot of funds and talents from Haihan to the East China Sea Colonial Zone, and the effect is quite significant. After all, this full-page advertisement not only flaunts the East China Sea In addition to the achievements made by the colonial zone, there are also conspicuous investment and recruitment content, and these things related to the vital interests of the people will bring more resources to the East China Sea colonial zone.

Overseas colonial zones that believe they have certain advantages in certain aspects will use similar methods to promote themselves in order to attract domestic resources. For example, the Beihai Colonial Zone located in the Yellow and Bohai Sea areas recruits talents in the direction of being good at business and trade. , the seafaring East China Sea colonial area was different.

The jurisdiction of the Beihai Colonial Zone is equivalent to the northern border of the Haihan Kingdom. It has long been required to fight openly and covertly with two powerful opponents, the Ming Dynasty and the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Therefore, military construction has always been a top priority, and the main targets for recruitment are top students from various military cadets in Sanya. .As a colonial area with the most frequent foreign military operations at this stage, serving in the Beihai Colonial Area will naturally provide you with more opportunities to win military honors. This is indeed a good way out for young officers who are interested in developing in the military. .

Although the situation in the area where the Beihai Colonial Zone is located is not too stable, the economic situation in the area is not bad. There are copper and gold mines under mining in Dengzhou District, Shandong Province, and there are also iron, silver, lead, and zinc in the area. , graphite, phosphorus and other mineral deposits need to be developed; the Datong River area of ​​​​North Korea has initially established a media-iron composite industry, as well as shipbuilding, salt production and other civilian industries; although the Liaodong Peninsula has no high-value industries for the time being, with Haihan's local expansion As the rule gradually stabilized, a large number of Han people continued to flee from the Manchu-controlled areas in the Northeast and fled to the relatively safe areas under Haihan rule.

Therefore, in addition to military talents, the recruitment direction of the Beihai Colonial Zone also needs a large number of grassroots officials to manage the local area. As long as people are interested in this and have a certain cultural foundation, they can apply. It does not matter even if they have not done anything in officialdom before. To this end, the Beihai Colonial Zone has established an administrative college in Dengzhou, Shandong that specializes in training grassroots officials, and trains managers at the village and town levels in batches through a 100-day training.

This approach in the Beihai Colonial Zone is actually not the first of its kind. Haihan's territory is expanding every year, and new territories will inevitably require a large number of grassroots officials to take over. However, Haihan does not have enough talent reserves, so it can only be done through intensive training. To train grassroots officials in batches, and then gradually select outstanding talents among them through their tenure performance.

However, the training period in the Beihai Colonial Zone is much shorter than that in the southern region, and the competition is not so fierce, which relatively lowers the threshold for becoming an official. This is of great significance to those young people who are interested in pursuing an official career but lack the background. Attraction.

Of course, this is also a rare opportunity for the many ordinary time travelers who are looking for a good future for future generations but lack connections. The employment conditions in overseas colonial areas are more relaxed than those in China, and they can list the needs of each overseas colonial area at once. There is nothing left to choose from, and you can choose the path that is most suitable for the development of future generations.
