Chapter 2631

Thousands of people were suddenly added to Zhoushan Island who were about to go overseas, and the urban area here immediately became a lot more lively. Although the officials were responsible for the food and accommodation of these people during their stay in Zhoushan, there were still many people

I am willing to spend money here to enjoy it. After all, after leaving here, even if I want to spend money, I will probably not be able to spend it.

In particular, these people who are about to cross thousands of miles of ocean to go to the North American colonial area have become the main force of sudden consumption on the island. Even the newly recruited immigrants have already roughly learned about the new colonial area from the sailors who have returned home.

The situation there is that although there is vast land for new immigrants to cultivate and countless treasures that are in urgent need of development, the living conditions are still far inferior to those at home. Once there, there is no enjoyment at all.

For a time, restaurants, pubs, gambling stalls, shops, and fireworks venues on the island were all overcrowded. Moreover, these people had just received official immigration subsidies, had a lot of cash in their hands, and had extremely strong spending power. Many of them

People spend money without blinking an eye.

Naturally, Tao Hongfang and others would not act like nouveau riche, but their visit to the island was affected. They wanted to find a place to eat in the city, but found that almost every restaurant was doing good business.

There was a long queue. Fortunately, the person sent to receive them by Yang Yun, the chief executive of the island, was quite smart and kept queuing everywhere. He simply invited the group of them to the public canteen of the Zhoushan Administrative Committee for dinner. Everyone who came here was

People in the yamen don't have to worry about being as crowded as eating places outside.

Yang Yun had already finished his meal and returned to the Yamen. When he heard Tao Hongfang and others coming to the cafeteria, he rushed over to keep him company. Seeing that they had not ordered a few dishes, Yang Yun quickly asked someone to go to the kitchen to say hello and cook.

Several decent dishes were served. Tao Hongfang and others said a few polite words and did not continue to refuse. They originally wanted to keep a low profile so as not to attract attention, but since Yang Yundu came to accompany him in person, they could not keep a low profile even if they wanted to.

It's possible.

Ning Zijing joked: "Nowadays, all the places where you can eat on the island are full. Why don't Master Yang order the canteen to be opened to the public and take advantage of this opportunity to make some money to subsidize expenses."

Yang Yun smiled and said: "Master Ning is joking. If this place is opened to the outside world, it will definitely be said that it is competing with the people for profit, which is not allowed."

Tao Hongfang said: "With so many people holding back their energy to spend money on the island recently, I'm afraid there will be a lot of trouble and trouble. Master Yang needs to be more careful."

Yang Yun responded: "Mr. Tao, please rest assured. This is not the first time. We have experience in dealing with similar situations. In addition to strengthening the military and police departments on the island, we have also temporarily mobilized thousands of people's regiments to patrol key areas.

Assist in maintaining law and order. In addition, firefighting, ambulance, rescue and other departments have also increased their manpower to prevent accidents. After the joint fleet sets off, the island will soon return to normal order."

Yang Yun is not bragging. As Zhoushan is Haihan's leading shipping, trade and military hub in the East China Sea, sudden outbreaks of this kind of floating population have occurred from time to time over the years. Therefore, the government's emergency measures in all aspects are relatively complete.

It is also very handy in dealing with various emergencies. When necessary, the regular army and militia on the island can gather thousands of people, enough to implement comprehensive military control over the entire Zhoushan Island in a short period of time.

Bai Letong also asked Yang Yun a question: "Master Yang, there are so many foreigners on the island, are there any special control measures for them?"

Yang Yundao: "What Mr. Bai wants to know is probably how we manage the foreigners stationed on the island on a daily basis, right?"

Seeing Bai Letong nodded, Yang Yun continued: "Our approach here is actually similar to Sanya's. There is a Foreign Affairs Office under the Management Committee, which is responsible for managing the affairs of foreigners on the island, such as

Register for entry and exit, supervise their behavior on the island, and help them solve daily difficulties they encounter."

Bai Letong nodded repeatedly after hearing this. The Foreign Affairs Department does exist in Sanya, and its administrative level and operational authority are quite high. As far as he knows, some of its officials also hold concurrent positions in the intelligence and security departments, but he doesn't know about Zhoushan.

Will the island’s foreign affairs office also have a similar establishment?

At this time, Yang Yun called two officials from the side and introduced them to everyone present: "These two are officials from the Foreign Affairs Department. The bald one is called Xiunian. He is a naturalized Japanese citizen. He is originally from Hirado."

Monk. The person next to him is called Yin Changxing, a naturalized Korean of Korean descent. He was a fisherman on Jeju Island before immigrating to Zhoushan. If you have any questions about the work of the Foreign Affairs Office, you can let them answer them on the spot."

As soon as everyone heard that these two people had such special identities, the Foreign Affairs Office's curiosity immediately shifted to these two people, and they immediately sat them down and asked them in detail.

After the Kaihan army attacked Hirado in 1638, in order not to leave a chance for the Tagawa family to resurrect, they took all the local people captive, and Hideunen was one of the civilians taken away as prisoners of war at that time. Because he obeyed the Haikou clan,

The Han army arranged and organized the evacuation of the people from Hirado. After arriving in Zhoushan, he quickly found a job in the government office and was responsible for managing the Japanese immigrants who were resettled in Zhoushan.

Although Yin Changxing was born in Jeju Island, his coming to Zhoushan was also related to the Battle of Hirado. The Haihan Fleet that attacked Hirado at that time used Jeju Island as its base of advancement, and Yin Changxing served as a follower at that time.

As a civilian husband, he got the opportunity to immigrate to Haihan. However, after arriving in Zhoushan, he did not immediately enter the yamen to work like Xiunian. Instead, he worked in small business for a long time. Later, the government needed someone to manage the increasing number of Korean immigrants on the island.

, he was able to transform into an official.

More than ten years have passed. Of course, these two people have long been naturalized as Haihan citizens and have become genuine Haihan citizens. However, the work they do is still inseparable from their ethnic origins. Their daily job is to manage personnel stationed on the island by North Korea and Japan.

After the two described their backgrounds and experiences after coming to Zhoushan in detail, they finally returned to their work.

Since the Battle of Hirado, Haihan's activities of introducing immigrants from Korea and Japan have never stopped, and Zhoushan Dinghai Port is the closest Haihan port to the southern tip of the Korean Peninsula and the Japanese archipelago, so it has also become the largest port in the country.

The preferred destination for immigrants.

According to official figures, the number of immigrants from North Korea and Japan who enter the designated seaports every year has always been more than 1,000, and in some years it may even increase to 3,000 or 4,000. And this number only counts official official recruitment channels for immigrants.

, does not include those who enter the country for business, shipping, visiting relatives, etc., and then look for another opportunity to naturalize. The actual immigration number is actually much higher than this.
