Chapter 317 The wicked have their own grind

"Okay, since you are out to do something, you should do it well. Education is a very important department. It takes ten years to cultivate trees and a hundred years to cultivate people. Only when we in Xinghan League have more talents and more people are available can Xinghan League continue Healthy development. Therefore, the Ministry of Education is the cornerstone of our Xinghan League. As my good wife, you must lay this foundation for me."

"Don't worry, I'm very attentive. If I encounter something I don't understand, I will ask you, Uncle Luo Cheng and other seniors for advice." Zhou Yue agreed, without refuting Liu Xinqi's use of the word "virtuous wife" in his words. word.

The two continued chatting until noon. They had lunch together before they dispersed and went about their work.

……

On the ninth day of the first lunar month, all the special company personnel selected by Jiao Rui from each regiment and camp arrived. Those who turned out to be soldiers were given military commander cards from the Army Department or Navy Department as compensation, and all those who were not soldiers had military commander cards attached.

Including Jiao Rui, the whole company has a total of [-] people.

In the morning, Liu Xinqi went to the barracks for inspection, and in the afternoon he personally sent this special company to Binzhou on a grain ship.

"With the help of these one hundred warriors, those rebels can truly stand firm." Zhou Xinyuan said.

Zhou Xinyuan just came back a few days ago. He could no longer help him in Hebei. The rebels were a little impatient with Zhou Xinyuan's bossing around. They were not as enthusiastic about him as they were at the beginning, and began to gradually marginalize him.

So Zhou Xinyuan felt bored and took the boat transporting refugees back to Penglai.

"Why don't you follow the teacher this time?" Liu Xinqi asked.

"Those rebels have no future. Not only do the chief officers have no rift in their hearts, but the rebels below are also getting by. Since we have the support of the Xinghan Alliance and have the opportunity to exchange people for food and equipment, they have become even more exhausted." Zhou Xinyuan said.

"They are all poor people who can't survive and are forced to rebel. They don't have much knowledge. Of course, we can't expect them to have lofty ideals." Liu Xinqi responded.

"The new boat will be launched at Baishiwan tomorrow. Come and see it with me."

"Okay, I saw so many things going on some time ago, why don't we go take a look around and see the new ships."

Zhou Xinyuan agreed to Liu Xinqi's invitation.

Since ancient times, food has been grown in the fields. If the rebels in Hebei want to survive, they will definitely do something to rob the people. Zhou Xinyuan stayed there for more than two months. He saw too much and could not stop it. He could only Reluctantly allowing the rebels to commit less crimes.I just don't know how those farmers who were robbed of their grain survived this winter.

After seeing off Jiao Rui and his special company, Liu Xinqi and Zhou Xinyuan went to the refugee settlement at the port together.

This resettlement site was converted from a warehouse and was used to give these refugees from the war-torn areas a rest, clean up all their old clothes, and clean their bodies to avoid bringing in the Hebei plague germs.

Liu Xinqi knows that the effect of doing this may not completely eliminate the spread of germs, but it is better than doing nothing.

After arriving at the warehouse, Liu Xinqi saw that the mentality of the previous batch of refugees had stabilized. Except for some relatives who were worried about staying in Hebei, others had accepted the current comfortable life.

"As of the sixth day of the first lunar month, two batches of refugees have been received here, totaling 910 people." People at the refugee resettlement site explained to Liu Xinqi.

Since the decision was made to exchange supplies with the rebels in Haicang Town on the 22nd, the rebels responded quickly. They sent two boatloads of people to Penglai on New Year's Eve, and another boatload of people on the sixth day of the first lunar month. "How many have been relocated abroad?" Liu Xinqi asked.

"540 people have been resettled. The others are temporarily unwilling to go to the factory. The wasteland in the other seven counties has not yet been counted, and they cannot be arranged to reclaim the wasteland. They can only stay at the resettlement site." the person in charge replied. .

"After I go back, I will arrange for the Ministry of Household Affairs to speed up the progress of statistical work. We can first identify a part of the unclaimed land or wasteland. Then you can arrange for the refugees who are willing to farm to resettle in the villages. In the future, more and more refugees will come from Hebei. The more people there are, the more they will be kept in the resettlement site like this is not an option." Liu Xinqi arranged.

"It is indeed not a long-term solution. I have discovered that there are some lazy people here. I am worried that they are unwilling to do anything, not willing to go to factories or to open up wasteland." The person in charge raised a difficulty.

"Are there many such people?"

There really are people of all kinds. In this era and in the current situation, there are still people who want to eat and die.

"Not many, maybe a dozen. We haven't clearly investigated it yet," the person in charge replied.

"When the Ministry of Household Affairs is ready, you can set a time limit for each batch of refugees to leave the resettlement site. If they are still unwilling to leave after the time limit, I will ask the 'prison' to cooperate with you and arrest them for labor reform." . The prison has many ways to deal with these scoundrels." Liu Xinqi arranged.

"Thank you, lord."

"Even if they stay at the resettlement site, we can arrange for them to do some work within their capacity on the port dock, and then give some remuneration depending on the situation, in lieu of work."

……

It was already an hour after they came out of the resettlement site. Liu Xinqi and Zhou Xinyuan walked along the street into the city and returned to the alliance headquarters.

"Newspapers are being sold! Newspapers are being sold! The Xinghan League will organize the second official recruitment examination on the 25th of the first month of the year. This will be the last recruitment examination that does not limit educational level."

"Newspapers are being sold! Newspapers are being sold! Xinghan League will organize the second official recruitment examination on the 25th of the first lunar month..."

"Give me one."

Liu Xinqi went forward to buy one, and the guards who followed paid for a one-jin food stamp.

When I opened the newspaper, I saw that the front page headline was about the official recruitment examination. The content was very detailed, as well as the subjects and key points of the examination.

There is no restriction on education level, which means everyone can sign up.In the future, people who take the official recruitment examination will be required to have a certain level of education, such as basic literacy assessment, basic compulsory education level assessment, etc. The requirements will become higher and higher as time goes by.

These were discussed and decided by the Xinghan League in the past few days, and the content on the front page of this newspaper was also provided to the Propaganda Department by the Ministry of Personnel.

"I didn't expect Luo Gao to be so effective in running a newspaper. I heard that [-] copies of the newspaper were sold at the end of the year, and basically every household in the eight counties that could read had one copy." Zhou Xinyuan praised. road.

"It is a new and unique thing. A newspaper is not expensive and does not cost a meal, so it is naturally easy to promote. But I did not expect Luo Gao to be able to promote the "Baixin Xun Bao" in other seven counties so quickly." Liu Xinqi replied.
