Chapter 1859 Industrial Cooperation
Allowing foreign capital to enter the country to build industries is a new thing for North Korea. If it is just a commercial activity, it may be difficult to obtain official support. After all, there are too many taboo borderlines, and the North Korean side may not be willing to accept it.But Haihan tied this to the relationship between the two countries and gave North Korea's ruling class quite lucrative benefits, so this seemingly unlikely cooperation became a reality.
For ordinary people in North Korea, they will not be able to feel the impact of this cooperation plan for a while, but since this is a project brought by the Haihan people who saved North Korea from the fire and water, and it is said that it will make The country has become more prosperous and powerful, and the vast majority of people welcome this.Of course, the king and ministers have already agreed to this plan, and even if some people question its rationality, it will be difficult to have any impact on the current situation.
There are actually only two types of North Koreans who really have a vital interest in this. One is the powerful class who can get considerable benefits from it, and the other is the refugees who lost their homes due to the war and accepted the employment of Haihan.In particular, the latter, who number tens of thousands, have a far more urgent need for this livelihood than the ruling class that benefits from it.
Refugees who originally gathered near Pyongyang City to seek official relief after the war finally had a more reliable place to go.Haihan sent several teams to recruit these refugees near the city of Pyongyang. The slogan was "everyone can have enough to eat". Although the conditions seem to be extremely limited, for many refugees who lack food and clothing , This is probably the only way out at present.
Thousands of North Korean refugees assembled at the pier on the south bank of Pyongyang, and then lined up under the organization of Haihan to board the sailboat and go down the Taedong River, saving the trouble of trekking to the destination.Many of them had already returned to the northern theater once after the war, confirmed that their homes were completely destroyed, and could not complete the post-war reconstruction in a short period of time, so they had no choice but to choose to flee south again.
However, North Korean officials are unable to organize and resettle these refugees to other places, and even the basic food supply has been intermittently difficult to guarantee. If Haihan did not provide this solution, thousands of refugees gathered together for such a long time. Big troubles are just a matter of time.
In order to ensure that these North Korean refugees can be properly resettled after arriving at the scheduled construction site, Haihan transported a large amount of food and tents from Zhejiang.In addition, taking advantage of the good soil and water conservancy conditions near the Datong River base, the organization reclaimed thousands of acres of land, planting the previous season of potatoes first, and waiting until October and November to harvest as this year's winter grain up.
It is also a big test for Haihan to organize several large-scale construction sites to start construction while continuously recruiting and resettling North Korean refugees.Fu Li was transferred to North Korea to serve as the director of civil affairs at the Datongjiang base, and he was promoted again before his butt was hot.As the two countries reached an industrial cooperation agreement and entered the implementation stage, the scope of his jurisdiction expanded from the Taedong River Base to the entire industrial area designated by Haihan in the Taedong River Basin, and the number of North Korean employees in the area quickly doubled several times.
Fortunately, after the early warm-up, Fu Li has basically entered the state. Although the workload has increased a lot at this time, he is no longer in such a hurry as when he first arrived in North Korea.Most of these North Korean employees are refugees. In order to keep their jobs, they can basically obey Haihan's management.
What really troubled Fu Li was not these hired workers, but the various people sent by various parties to act as supervisors and stewards.These people are not North Korean officials, they are all errands and miscellaneous figures under the hands of North Korean dignitaries who have shares in these industries. Their task is to supervise Haihan in accordance with the content of the cooperation agreement between the two countries and ensure that the boss he works for will not benefit damaged.
There is nothing wrong with the thoughts of North Korean dignitaries. After all, the construction progress and operating conditions of these industries are closely related to their investment and income. It is normal to want to protect their own interests.But these unofficial people often fail to grasp the scale of action, and even interfere with the daily management of Haihan officials.
Today's new situation is related to these North Korean supervisors again. Fu Li received a report that a North Korean supervisor at the saltworks construction site was whipped as punishment for someone who was sabotaging his work. In the end, he didn't grasp the measure and beat him to death. .The hands-on North Korean supervisor also aroused public anger. If it weren't for the presence of the Haihan Army on duty at the scene, it would be difficult to escape from the angry public.Now the saltworks have stopped working, and the people demand that the supervisor who killed others be dealt with first before resuming work.
According to the cooperation agreement between the two countries, Haihan must negotiate with North Korean officials to deal with such serious public security cases among North Korean employees.
Fu Li frowned and finished reading the briefing delivered urgently by the rider from the saltworks construction site, and he couldn't help feeling a little more disgusted with these North Korean supervisors in his heart.Fu Li really didn't understand how the higher-ups agreed to such a condition that would obviously cause trouble when negotiating the cooperation plan with North Korea, which caused the situation to continue after the plan was implemented.This is not the first conflict between North Korean supervisors and hired workers recently, and almost every time it will lead to more serious consequences, making him have to go back and forth for these shitty things.
If Fu Li had the right to make the decision, he would definitely drive away all these so-called supervisors without hesitation, and hand them over to his own staff to manage the North Korean employees, and these bullshit things would definitely be greatly reduced.
Of course, in terms of the current actual situation, his wish can only stay at the stage of thinking, and it is basically impossible to implement it.Fort Victory's instructions to this side through the radio are very clear. In addition to managing civil affairs, his task is to ensure that diplomatic relations with North Korea will not be affected by these personnel hired by Haihan.In other words, the higher-ups believe that the relationship between the two countries should be the most important thing at the moment, and other issues, even including the progress of the project, can be put aside later.
It is not the first day for Fu Li to be an official. Of course he knows what is more important at this time. The little interests of these civilians are insignificant in the context of the relationship between countries, not to mention that these people are not Haihan citizens. Seriously speaking, it is also an internal conflict in other countries, and there is really no need for me to intervene too much.
But the matter involved Haihan's saltworks project, which had already reached the point of shutdown, so he could only go there himself.However, according to the rules, this matter needs to be dealt with after communication between the competent officials of the two countries, so he went to find Park Beixiu in a very businesslike manner, and asked him to go to the saltworks construction site with him to deal with the matter.
"Director Fu, why bother you to go there yourself?" After listening to Fu Li's story, Park Beixiu gave him an idea: "Call back the overseer who made the mess and tell him to go back to the master." Go home, and then announce to the laborers that this person has been punished. The laborers who were killed will be given some pensions if they have family members. Then it will be regarded as not abiding by the rules on the construction site, and you will be expelled from the construction site immediately. With both kindness and force, the matter will naturally be calmed down quickly."
Fu Lixin said that it's easy for you to say it, but it's just that I'm lazy and don't want to make this trip.If it is handled according to Park Beixiu's method, it is indeed possible to achieve the effect he said, but if one of the links is not done properly, and the local migrant workers continue to strike and delay the construction period of the saltworks, then it will be their fault.
"Master Park is right, but in order to avoid complications, I think it's better to go there in person. I've already had people prepare the carriages and horses, and we can set off right away." Fu Li still insisted on inviting Park Beixiu to go with him.
Pu Beixiu rolled his eyes, and found another excuse: "I felt a bit cold yesterday, and I feel a little unwell. I'm afraid that the exhaustion of the horses and horses will aggravate my condition...I don't think it's better than this. Let Cui Ren follow Director Fu for a trip. "
Fu Lidao: "According to the principle of reciprocity, if we have disagreements on how to handle this matter, I should discuss it with Mr. Park. Cui Ren has no official status, so he is not qualified to do so."
Pu Beixiu said: "There is no need to discuss this matter, and Director Fu's will prevail."
Seeing that he was reassured and about to be lazy, Fu Li stopped persuading him.In fact, it is only twenty miles from the base of the Datong River to the saltworks site at the mouth of the sea, and it takes less than half a day to go back and forth by horse-drawn carriage. However, there is only a muddy beach in the local area, and there is no oil or water in it. Naturally, Pu Beixiu is too lazy to run around for these trivial matters. trip.If Fu Li hadn't come to invite him personally, he would have kicked them out a long time ago.
With the implementation of the industrial cooperation plan and the large increase in the number of North Korean laborers hired, Park Beixiu's jurisdiction has also increased like a force, which has also driven a group of people under him to be promoted. Cui Ren, who manages half of the North Korean labor camps in the Datongjiang base, now has greater authority. He is in charge of labor affairs at several new construction sites outside the Datongjiang base.Of course, most of the time this so-called trusteeship was just running errands. He didn't have a formal official position, and his authority was not comparable to that of an official appointed by the court like Park Beixiu.
However, this is already a rare treatment for Cui Ren, who was born as a commoner, especially since Park Beixiu usually does not want to leave the base, so he is sent out to patrol around, which gives him more opportunities to work with Haihan officials and understand Haihan. How Han organized the construction of such a large-scale project, which also broadened his horizons.
After Cui Ren got the notice, he rushed to join Fu Li and followed him to the construction site where the accident happened.On the way, Cui Rencai got a general understanding of what happened there from Fu Li. He didn't give Fu Li advice immediately like Park Beixiu, but asked Fu Li's opinion on the matter first.
Through this period of contact, Fu Li knew that Cui Ren likes to try to figure out Shangyi's flattery, so he didn't hide his thoughts at the moment: "This kind of thing happens too frequently recently, and every time it gets out of hand, I hope it can be done." Find a once-and-for-all solution... If it’s not possible, at least you have to make an example of others, severely punish those who commit crimes, and let the construction site be peaceful for a while. Cui Ren, what do you think?”
Cui Rendao: "If this happened because of sabotage, then the humble officer thinks that the supervisor did not overdo it, but he didn't grasp the scale well, so he should try to mediate it. If there is no sabotage, it is the supervisor If one person dies after a conflict with a migrant worker for other reasons, then the supervisor will be pulled out and severely punished to quell public anger.”
Fu Li shook his head and said, "Your opinion is actually similar to Mr. Park's. You want to solve the current matter as soon as possible, but you didn't consider how to avoid similar situations in the future. Think again."
Cui Ren thought for a while and added: "The key to this type of incident is the conflict between the migrant workers and the supervisors. These supervisors are not officials, at best, they are just errand runners. The migrant workers lack respect for them, so it must be easy. conflict. If we want to solve it in the long run, we must think from the root of the conflict.”
Fu Li then nodded slightly and said: "Then how do you think we should solve it?"
Cui Rendao: "Of course it is impossible for the court to appoint all these people as officials, so there are only two solutions, either remove all these supervisors, or help them establish their authority so that the laborers dare not fight with them. "
Fu Li asked again: "Which method do you think is easier to implement?"
Cui Ren hesitated for a moment this time before responding: "I heard that these supervisors and supervisors are all under the orders of the big men above. If we want to remove them all, I'm afraid that too many aspects will be involved, and it will be a troublesome matter to deal with... So the humble I think the second method is easier to achieve."
While Fu Li asked Cui Ren a question, he also sorted out his thoughts in his mind. In the end, he found helplessly that the situation was indeed as Cui Ren said, and the method that could control the occurrence of such incidents for a long time might be Contrary to his original intention, instead of driving back these seemingly obstructive North Korean supervisors, he tried to establish prestige for them and make North Korean workers obey their instructions as much as possible.
Although this will make the situation of North Korean workers more difficult, if the goal is to improve the operational efficiency on the construction site and speed up the progress of the project, Fu Li can't think of any more effective way at the moment.
There was no official road built between the Datongjiang base and the saltworks site, and it was only twenty miles away, which made Fu Li and Cui Ren quite uncomfortable.Cui Ren, who seldom had the opportunity to ride in a carriage, walked erratically when he got off the carriage. If it wasn't for Fu Li who gave him a hand, he would almost have lost his footing.
The first thing Fu Li did was to find a company commander of the Haihan Army who maintained law and order here, and asked him to understand the details of the incident and confirm the division of responsibilities in this incident.
