Chapter 1102
When the differences of opinion between negotiating parties can be quantified in terms of money, it is easier to solve the problem.There is an unwritten rule in the foreign policy of the Haihan Executive Committee, that is, any problem that can be solved with money is not a problem. In the process of contacting officials of the Ming Dynasty, buying and wooing with money has always been one of the options.
For projects like organizing immigrants in Daming that require some cooperation from the local government, buying local officials is far more effective than using violence to solve the problem. In principle, the die-hard officials will try their best to solve the problem in a peaceful way, so as to avoid more troubles in the future.After all, Haihan's development goal at this stage is to recruit immigrants from Daming and expand the scale of trade, rather than conquering cities and land in Daming, and the cooperation with local governments is the main theme.
Of course, the money was not given away in vain. Since Haihan regards this as a special commercial transaction, he will naturally assess whether the proceeds can meet his goals.For example, when buying a local government represented by a local county magistrate, Haihan will consider the extent to which the local government can serve him as a bid consideration, and has also formulated different standards for this.
For example, Zhang Pucheng is willing to issue a public notice for Haihan's immigration recruitment activities in the name of the county government, and he can get a basic bid.If someone is sent on behalf of the county government to the countryside to assist Haihan in publicizing, then a higher return can be given on this basis.If Zhang Pucheng is willing to come forward in person and publicly stand for Haihan, the financial reward he can get will be further improved.To put it simply, how much money Zhang Pucheng can get from Haihan depends on his cooperation and effort.
After Zhang Pucheng listened to Harugong's simple explanation, he was even more tempted by this grading condition. If he was willing to cooperate with Haihan without reservation, he would have an income of three to four thousand taels in a year. Even if he worked as a county magistrate in Fushan County for another ten years, he would not be able to receive so much salary.Moreover, today's Fushan County is struggling to make ends meet, and there is basically no money to speak of. Zhang Pucheng is really reluctant to let Haihan, a rich man with a lot of money, come suddenly.
Seeing that Zhang Pucheng remained silent, Harugong knew that he was still uncertain about this matter, so he added more strength: "Master Zhang, with my Haihan's strength, I can do it myself without asking the government for help. This Fushan In the county, there should be no other forces other than the Wanjia Army that can interfere with our actions. Out of respect for the government, we took the initiative to invite Mr. Zhang out of the city to discuss cooperation. If Mr. Zhang thinks this kind of cooperation is unnecessary, then we It’s not too much, from now on, everyone will not violate the river water, we will not enter the county town, and the county government should not hinder our local actions.”
The duck that reaches its mouth is about to fly!Zhang Pucheng suddenly recovered from his contemplation, and replied with a smile: "Boss Ha, I didn't say that I couldn't cooperate. Your side is all about helping the Li people. As a local parent and official, it is natural to support such good deeds. How about it, this official After the official returned to the city today, he drafted a notice explaining Haihan's measures to help the people, and posted it at the four gates of the county to reassure people. When he is free in the future, this official will also go out to the countryside to explain this to the people in each village and village in person. What does Chief Ha think?"
"Master Zhang is really a good official who is considerate of people's feelings! With Master Zhang presiding over this matter, the local people should be able to solve their survival problems soon." Seeing that Zhang Pucheng was finally relieved, Harugong also put down a large piece of paper at the moment. Stone.Since Zhang Pucheng's words are so beautiful, then Harukon did not hesitate to start a business mutual bragging mode, saying a few words on the scene to flatter the other party.
"It's easy to say, easy to say! I just don't know the conditions that Ha Shou first talked about..." Zhang Pucheng dragged out his tone at this point, observing Harugong's reaction.
Haru Gong said: "Although the main force of the Wanjia Army has been eliminated by us, there should still be some remnants absconding, so Wanmeng needs to have another trial to ensure that the Wanjia Army will not revive. Let's do this, in three days, we will Take Wanmeng to the county seat and hand it over to Mr. Zhang for disposal."
"The leader of the evil should be punished! This dog has been doing evil in Fushan County for many years, and this time he was captured by Chief Ha's men, and good and evil will be rewarded! When I report this matter, I will definitely say a few good words for Haihan's righteous deeds! "Zhang Pucheng thought of being coerced by the Wanjia army in the past few years, and he kept holding back a breath of anger. When the Haihan people handed over Wanmeng in a few days, they must parade him in and out of the county to show the public, so that the hatred in his heart can be resolved.Although Zhang Pucheng is not a spotless and upright official, he is still dedicated to his own jurisdiction, but due to the situation, he is unable to confront the Wanjia army head-on.Haihan took the initiative to send troops to wipe out the Wanjia army. Zhang Pucheng really appreciated and grateful for this matter.
Harugong clapped his palms and ordered loudly, "Come here, bring the present!"
Several soldiers brought up two wooden boxes, one big and one small, and Harugong introduced: "This big box contains some local products of Haihan, and they are all worthless gadgets. Don't dislike it, Mr. Zhang." !” After that, he opened the box and showed Zhang Pucheng what was inside.
There are quite a lot of things in this box, including Haihan’s most famous mercury glass mirror, glass stationery, decorations, etc., as well as food such as Sanya special brew, fruit candy, toffee, daily necessities such as matches and soap, etc. There are even snuff products that have just started to be launched on the market, including most of Haihan's daily commodities exported, basically representing Haihan's current industrial manufacturing level.Harugong took out one and explained its function, Zhang Pucheng was dazzled by it, and his evaluation of Haihan people unconsciously raised a level in his heart.
Even if Harugong is not good at selling, but a discerning person will know that these things are not ordinary products, and naturally know that what he said is true.Zhang Pucheng thought of the rumors he had heard before that the Haihan people were known for being good at managing trade, so it seemed that they were indeed some good things to sell.Although he doesn't know the actual value of these items, Zhang Pucheng can roughly guess that this box of assorted goods is worth a lot, most of which he has never even heard of, let alone seen before.Hearing Harugong say that these things are very popular in the south, and they are must-have items in the homes of high officials and nobles, Zhang Pucheng felt that he had suddenly become a bumpkin who had never seen the world.
Harugong spoke dryly, grabbed the teacup on the table and drank it, then pointed to another smaller box and said: "This is 1000 taels of silver, and the next payment will be made after three months. Master Zhang can count."
While speaking politely, Zhang Pucheng couldn't help opening the box, and the 20 taels of silver ingots were neatly stacked in the box in two layers.
Zhang Pucheng took a deep breath, slowly closed the lid of the box, and respectfully said to Haru: "I would like to thank the local people for your kindness! I also know that your saving lives are not in vain, but please treat them kindly." People recruited locally."
Haru Gong said: "Your Majesty Zhang, you can rest assured that the area under our Haihan rule has always been peaceful, and there is enough food to eat. When these people go to the south, they will definitely live more securely than in Dengzhou!"
Hearing this, Zhang Pucheng felt a little uncomfortable. Although Harugong had no intention of attacking him, the comparison made him easily think of the gap in governance capabilities between the two sides, and he immediately argued: "Your side is running a farm. This official governs a county, so there is still a difference."
Harugong smiled and said: "Our Haihan territory in the south is much larger than the two prefectures of Denglai put together, but it's not just a county. There are tens of thousands of people in the south who accept our management. In terms of the ability to govern the local area, I am afraid that there is indeed a big difference."
Zhang Pucheng didn't quite believe Harugong's "boasting", he thought that although the Haihan people were rich, how could they replace the role of the local government, unless they had already set up a rebellion in the south.Zhang Pucheng really didn't expect that the Haihan he was dealing with now was no longer a vassal of Ming Dynasty, but a state that had become independent this year.Of course, if he had known the news in advance, he probably wouldn't have agreed to the terms of cooperation so readily. If it was exposed by someone with a heart, it would be a crime of infidelity, and even dismissal would be minor.
Now that he had received the benefits, Zhang Pucheng didn't want to compete with Harugong any more, so he offered to leave after a few perfunctory words.Harugong had basically finished talking about his business, and he didn't hold back any more at the moment. He asked people to put two boxes of gifts on the bandit horses captured in yesterday's battle, and handed them over to Zhang Pucheng's men.
Zhang Pucheng hurried back to the city with two boxes of presents, and Harugong was also greatly relieved after the deal was settled.This kind of bargaining with Daming officials was not his specialty, but he and Chen Yixin were the only ones here at the moment, and someone had to come forward to negotiate with the Fushan County government.Fortunately, the process went smoothly, and Zhang Pucheng was unable to resist Haihan's temptation in the end. After receiving the benefits, he agreed to cooperate, which also saved Haihan a lot of trouble in the future.
Zhang Pucheng was also quite trustworthy, and posted an Anmin notice outside the city gate the next day, praising the "Haihan Merchant Group" for helping the government to destroy the bandits and Wanjia Army, and recognizing Haihan's efforts to recruit immigrants in Fushan County This is basically an official guarantee for Haihan.Many people in the slums outside the county who were still on the sidelines now chose to join the Haihan people after seeing the official statement. After all, the Haihan people can provide food and protection, and this is all done by the local government. less than things.As for the notice saying that the action to exterminate the Wanjia Army was presided over by the government, this kind of scene can be ignored. The defenders in the city have been unable to shrink back these days, and they have never met the Wanjia Army. Who is the one who took action against the Wan Family Army?
It took Haihan two days to transport all the captured bandits back to Zhifu Island.During the period, according to Wan Meng's confession, the Special Operations Battalion and the Cavalry Battalion also conducted a raid on the slums outside the county seat in an attempt to capture Pu Xueguang, a military commander of the Wanjia Army who was still absconding, but this operation was in vain.Pu Xueguang probably slipped away quietly when the Wanjia Army was defeated. The Wanjia Army's stronghold outside the city only left a few wounded people who couldn't leave because of injuries to their legs and feet, and the information they knew was extremely limited. For Haihan, there is no value at all.
However, this action once again alarmed the government in the county. The guards thought that Haihan was going to attack the city, so they quickly closed the city gate and complained to the county government.When Zhang Pucheng and Huang Qu arrived in a hurry, Haihan's affairs were almost done. Zhang Pucheng sent someone out of the city to ask, and found out that he was arresting the remnants of the Wanjia army. He couldn't laugh or cry at this farce.However, this cannot be blamed on the fact that the Haihan people did not report in advance, because the two sides had not established a stable news channel before. They are all in a state of high mental tension, and sooner or later they will become neurasthenia and cause even bigger troubles.
On the tenth day after the Haihan Fleet arrived at Zhifu Island, the headquarters made a summary of the current progress.At present, more than [-] immigrants have been recruited from the area around Zhifu Island, which can be regarded as initial success.Considering that there are still a large number of infrastructure projects in Zhifu Island that need to rush for the construction period, except for a small number of helpless orphans, women and children among these immigrants who will be transported back to the south, most of the young and strong laborers will be temporarily stayed on Zhifu Island. Go to various construction sites on the island to participate in the construction.And places with the harshest environmental conditions like the dock site naturally used the more than [-] prisoners of war captured in Fushan County.
Although Haihan did not immediately fulfill his promise to send the immigrants to the south, for these people who took refuge in Haihan, this arrangement was not unacceptable.Most of them actually don't want to leave their hometowns and go to a completely unfamiliar environment. At least this Zhifu Island is still within the Terengganu Prefecture, and they can still get used to living here.Moreover, the Haihan people are building large-scale construction projects on the island, constantly building residential areas and various semi-permanent infrastructure facilities, which obviously intend to take root in the local area for a long time, and this move has also given more confidence to the people.
In addition, the many ships docked in Zhifu Bay also dispelled the public's doubts about Haihan's maritime capacity before coming here-since this huge fleet can transport thousands of people here from the south, of course it is also capable of transporting people from here. Migrants were sent to the South.As for being late or early, it is actually not a big problem, because there are no more urgent survival and safety issues at the moment, and the leaders of Haihan have also promised to send away all those who voluntarily go to settle in the south before winter comes. Immigrants who have just escaped the harsh living environment have nothing to criticize.
