Political Purpose
Chapter 1851 Political Purpose
Any opinion leader who can survive the ups and downs in the officialdom for decades should not be underestimated in terms of IQ and EQ. There are still some outstanding political figures in the country. Senior officials such as Kim Sang-heon and Cui Mingji are members of this special group.
Although Cui Mingji was temporarily at a disadvantage in North Korea's domestic political struggle, his sense of existence did not decline too much because of the gain of power of Kim Sang-heon's faction.There are many voices attacking Cui Mingji's faction in North Korea, but as long as Li Zhen does not express his opinion, Cui Mingji still has an unshakable position in the North Korean political arena.
But also because of his respected status, there are countless people staring at Cui Mingji openly and secretly. It is difficult for Haihan to contact the other party through some unconventional means, let alone arrange a private meeting.The officials of Kim Sang-heon's faction obviously don't want Hai Han and Cui Ming-gil to have too many opportunities to contact.
At present, Kim Sang-heon is serving as the court judge in North Korea and controls the country's foreign affairs. Qian Tiandun and Wang Tom believe that it is difficult to get on line with Cui Mingji's faction at the moment, so they can only wait patiently for the opportunity.However, they still underestimated Cui Mingji's political accomplishment and means. Kim Sang-heon wanted to exclude Cui Mingji from the negotiation, but how could this old man be willing to be just a spectator.During the next negotiation, Qian Tiandun and Wang Tom saw the appearance of Cui Mingji, the judge of officials Cao.
"It seems that the negotiation is going to be more difficult!" Qian Tiandun couldn't help but lower his voice and mutter to Tom Wang after the two parties took their seats.The political conflicts between Cui Mingji and Kim Sang-heon are well known, and they also voiced their opposition to allowing Haihan to enter important fields such as salt and iron. When he joined the negotiations, Qian Tiandun subconsciously believed that his attitude should be against the two countries. In-depth cooperation.
"That's not necessarily the case. Let's have a look first." Wang Tom has a different opinion on this.He always feels that since Cui Mingji is not stupid, he should not act like a mantis. When the Qing army is coming, he knows to persuade the king to negotiate peace instead of fighting. So Haihan is obviously stronger than the Qing army. How can this person do it? Can't see the situation clearly and jump out to fight against Haihan?
The topic of the negotiation is still a continuation of the previously unfinished content, that is, the in-depth cooperation between the two sides in some important industries. To put it bluntly, North Korea will loosen restrictions and allow Haihan to enter these originally state-owned fields for business activities.
Before this, Li Zhen had been going around in circles and refused to agree to Hai Han's request. One of the main reasons was that he had received many voices of opposition during the discussion with the ministers on this matter, which made him worry that if he forced this matter forward, it would affect the domestic political situation. Stablize.
According to what he heard from Kim Sang-jiu before, Cui Mingji is the main representative of the opposition, but what he opposes is that Kim Sang-heon is making a statement, preventing other factions in the DPRK and China from participating in the negotiations, and attacking Kim Sang-heon for doing so in an attempt to benefit from it. for personal gain.
When Cui Mingji did this, in order to show that he had no selfish intentions, Kim Sang-heon could no longer exclude him, and Li Yu could only arrange for him to join the negotiation.And Tom Wang felt that Cui Mingji sharpened his head and squeezed in. It should not be just to express his opinions against the industrial cooperation between the two countries in front of him, because doing so would at most only delay the historical process of North Korea. He personally doesn't have much actual benefit to speak of, and may offend Haihan instead—— Tom Wang believes that it is impossible for Cui Mingji to not think of this, let alone participate in the negotiation with such a purpose.
"Cui Juanshu, what do you think?"
Now that Cui Mingji has been absorbed into the negotiating team, no matter whether this decision is good or bad, the king naturally still wants to hear his views on the industrial cooperation plan between the two countries.
Cui Mingji bowed to Li Yan, then looked at the two people on Haihan's side, and said unhurriedly: "The plan proposed by Haihan, I think there is something wrong with it, and I hope that your majesty will agree with the two people." Don't blame the general!"
Wang Tom smiled and said: "Since there is something wrong, let's discuss it and have a frank and honest talk, maybe it will become better! The purpose of our coming to Seoul is also for this, but Master Cui said it's okay. "
Wang Tom was very confident. He really didn’t think that Cui Mingji would openly oppose cooperation with Haihan, because it would be against the king, and questioning the rationality of the package proposed by Haihan was a good starting point. However, Cui Mingji only said "inappropriate" instead of categorically denying its feasibility. In Wang Tom's view, it was actually a compromise in disguise, which was also in line with Wang Tom's initial judgment.So he is willing to give Cui Mingji a chance to express his opinion, so as to further judge his purpose.
Since Hai Han didn't mind, Li Jing naturally wouldn't stop Cui Mingji from expressing his opinion.Kim Sang-heon had no expression on his face, he didn't even look at Cui Mingji, as if he didn't care about Cui Mingji's existence, but whether it was really so calm or not, only he knew in his heart.
Cui Mingji saw that neither Li Ji nor the Haihan people stopped him from expressing his opinion, so he cleared his throat and said: "I have read your country's proposal, which said that all industries built in North Korea will be mainly employed by North Korean people. To solve the livelihood problems of the tens of thousands of war refugees who were displaced by the invasion of the Qing army after the war in our country, can this be regarded as a kind of commitment of your country?"
Wang Tom didn't understand what he meant, but he still nodded and replied: "Hiring people from your country to build and operate these industries is an inevitable measure. In the long run, it will definitely play a role in replacing work. If Master Cui feels uneasy, Then when the two countries sign a cooperation agreement, these specific implementation terms can also be written into the written content to ensure that these measures can be implemented.”
In fact, regardless of whether North Korea has such a request, Haihan will definitely need a large number of local laborers to solve the labor required by these labor-intensive industries. It's all about finding a more high-sounding reason for this business measure.Of course, Wang Tom didn't think that with Cui Mingji's knowledge, he would not have thought of this point. There must be other reasons for the other party to raise this question.
Cui Mingji went on to say: "Since, as General Wang said, in the future, these local people who accept employment from your country may depend on the industries operated by your country for their livelihoods. Then who will be in charge of them? Will they be under the local government of our country, or like Like the Datongjiang base, your country is in charge of managing it?"
The question Cui Mingji raised is undoubtedly very practical. If thousands of North Korean laborers in the Datongjiang base were under the jurisdiction of Haihan as an emergency arrangement during wartime, then in times of peace in the future, if the North Koreans employed by Haihan are not under the jurisdiction of the government, Instead, Haihan is in charge, which seems a bit unreasonable.
The Daedongjiang base is a special product under the strong advocacy of Jin Shangxian. There are indeed many irregularities in the operation, and even some gray areas that cannot be disclosed to the public.From the standpoint of Kim Sang-heon, he will definitely choose to pretend to be blind to some issues of governance, but Cui Mingji will not. He came here today to pick a thorn in the plan of the Haihan people. The purpose is not to hinder the cooperation between the two countries, but to It is to let King Li Zhen see who is the one who really cares about North Korea.
Qian Tiandun was almost in charge of the construction and operation of the Datong River base, while Wang Tom had been active in the Yalu River basin and the Liaodong coastline for the past few months, and only led his troops back to participate in the final decisive battle on the eve of the arrival of the Qing army at the Datong River base.So Tom Wang didn't respond rashly to the question raised by Cui Mingji, but left it to Qian Tiandun to answer.
Qian Tiandun knew that if he answered this question incorrectly, he might have bad thoughts in his heart, so he thought about it before responding: "Master Cui, my opinion on this question is to make the best use of the situation and deal with it as appropriate. Daily It will be more convenient for us to manage the affairs on our behalf. If there is a serious public security case, we will negotiate and deal with it. Of course, your country can also send officials to station, just like the practice at the Datongjiang base. In this way It is also convenient for timely communication of information, which is beneficial to both of us. I wonder what Master Cui thinks?"
Qian Tiandun's answer is actually Tai Chi. This so-called discretionary treatment has a very large scale. It is also under Haihan's control to judge whether the matter is serious enough to communicate with North Korean officials and negotiate a solution together. , It's just that I didn't say anything at the moment.
Qian Tiandun is not worried about whether the North Koreans can accept such a scale, because he also feels that Cui Mingji actually does not have too much hostility towards his own side. Questioning, on the contrary, gave our own side the opportunity to further explain the content of cooperation.It seems to be a question and answer of opposites, but after careful inspection, there is no smell of gunpowder in it. Sure enough, this veteran in the political arena has some tricks.
Qian Tiandun's judgment was soon further verified. Cui Mingji then raised several questions in succession, all of which revolved around key points such as the early development, daily operation, personnel flow, and tax payment of these projects in the industrial cooperation plan. , which shows that before participating in today's negotiations, he has done quite in-depth homework on the plan proposed by Haihan.
In the previous negotiation, for some reason, neither Li Ji nor Jin Shangxian made a clear statement on Haihan's proposal. They just went around to delay the time, and naturally they didn't raise any decent questions.Today, the question Cui Mingji asked almost involved every detail of the cooperation plan. He deliberately questioned Haihan, but left enough room for Wang Tom and Qian Tiandun to explain these details.Even if some of the answers didn't really solve the questions he raised, they all skipped and let Hai Han pass the test.
Obviously, Cui Mingji used his identity as an opposition party to come to this occasion to make a living.However, Qian Tiandun and Tom Wang, far from being disgusted with his actions, appreciated that he could create such a situation that was beneficial to both parties.
Naturally, Kim Sang-heon quickly realized Cui Mingji's true purpose, but from his standpoint, it was difficult to stop Cui Mingji's actions.As we all know, the Haihan people entered North Korea with great fanfare this time. It has not yet been negotiated, but both the government and the opposition acquiesce that Kim Sang-heon is on the side of Haihan.Even if he has not expressed his attitude at all, almost everyone believes that sooner or later he will speak out in support of the industrial cooperation plan proposed by Haihan.
Then when Cui Mingji appeared here in the image of the opposition, if Kim Sang-heon stood up and interrupted Cui Mingji's speech, it would confirm his attitude of supporting Haihan, and it would be impossible to cooperate with the king to shirk the delay.But leaving Cui Mingji alone, this guy is obviously trying to get close to the Haihan people by asking questions. Kim Sang-heon doesn't want the two parties to get too close.
Li Jing is quite interested in the current situation. Before that, he was worried that there would be too many opposition voices in the court, so he dared not easily agree to the proposal of the Haihan people.However, after Cui Mingji came here today, he questioned Haihan carefully, which gave Li Zhen a new understanding of this cooperation plan.
Prior to this, Li Jing simply thought that this plan was an excuse for Haihan to squeeze wealth from North Korea, just like they have been asking North Korea for huge military expenditures. Afterwards, Li Zhen realized that the plan of the Haihan people was not just talking about it, but actually made a more detailed plan, probably waiting for the North Korean side to nod before it can be implemented immediately.
Moreover, this plan is indeed not only benefiting Haihan unilaterally. The benefits that North Korea can obtain from it, in addition to increasing taxes and solving the livelihood problems of tens of thousands of war refugees, can also stimulate domestic economic recovery and war. The post-reconstruction work, and trained a group of high-level talents for North Korea who understand advanced skills in professional fields such as shipping, shipbuilding, salt production, mining, and smelting. It may be difficult for the latter to measure its value in terms of money.After all, if these industries are not established in North Korea, even if North Korea is willing to send people to study in Haihan, they may not be willing to teach them all these skills.
According to Haihan, the long-term benefits that North Korea will receive will be far more than this. After Haihan joins the operation of these industries, the entire North Korea will be included in the international trade system led by Haihan. Bring a lot of business opportunities to North Korea.And after having money, building a strong armed force will no longer be a problem that plagues North Korea. The best example has already been placed in front of the North Koreans. It is an army built according to the Haihanization standard, and its combat effectiveness has been fully verified in the previous war against the Qing Dynasty.And the fact that these two families have military expenditures to arm their armies is largely due to the accumulation of sufficient wealth through the trade led by Haihan.
