Kill the chicken to warn the monkey
Chapter 1860 Kill the chicken to warn the monkey
The matter here is not complicated. In fact, the report sent from the saltworks construction site to the Datongjiang base has already explained the general situation. There was indeed a situation of sabotage on the construction site, and then the North Korean supervisors pulled out the leaders to punish them. The whipping was intended to scare chickens and monkeys, but it turned out that the person being tortured couldn't bear the whipping, and even his life was put in it.
What needs to be explained is that the Haihan Garrison here is not responsible for directly directing the labor of the migrant workers, but only for maintaining security.The labor tasks of the migrant workers are arranged by Haihan engineering personnel, and the task of supervising the progress of the project is shared between Haihan and North Korean supervisors.
Due to the limited number of engineering personnel sent by Haihan to North Korea, and they had to be assigned to multiple construction sites, more than half of the daily supervisory tasks were performed by North Korean supervisors, and their role was even indispensable.Fu Li's idea of driving all the North Korean supervisors away earlier can only be thought about under this current situation. Although these supervisors have caused a lot of trouble, if they really don't have these people staring at them, the construction progress on the construction site Only slower.
If we want to look at this matter from a legal point of view, it is that the supervisor's unauthorized lynching led to the consequences of manslaughter, and it is reasonable for the migrant workers to demand that the supervisor who caused death be dealt with.But from the standpoint of Fu Li, this matter cannot be handled simply like this, not to mention the background of this supervisor, if he is really punished, then these supervisors will inevitably have a lot of taboos when they want to carry out work in the future, and it is not necessary It is beneficial to the management of the construction site, and may even be counterproductive.Fu Li didn't want to appease the anger of the migrant workers, but arouse the dissatisfaction of the supervisors. Doing so would most likely cause a new situation.
What Fu Li wants is not just to quell the current disputes on the construction site, but also to resolve the conflicts between the migrant workers and the supervisors as much as possible. Although this is actually North Korea's internal affairs, it should have Pu Beixiu, who was in charge, let go of it, and Fu Li had no choice but to bite the bullet.
Fu Li had basically made a clear judgment on which was more important, so he ordered the migrant workers who had stopped working to elect a few representatives to come forward to discuss how to deal with this matter.Since he made up his mind to kill chickens and monkeys, Fu Li naturally wanted to deal with the leaders of the migrant workers first. Without a leader, these migrant workers would soon become a mess, and it would be much easier to deal with them.
"We will report the manslaughter supervisor to the North Korean government to deal with it impartially, but this incident is just an accident in the final analysis, and no one should use this as an excuse to instigate a stoppage." Fu Li paused, and said with an emphatic tone: "You guys It shouldn’t be the first day I’ve worked here, and I think you all know what it means to stop work. Whether you can afford the consequences, I hope everyone can have a clear understanding.”
Facing the leaders of the migrant workers, Fu Li's words were quite blunt. He didn't intend to spend too much time haggling with these people. Move these people.
These foremen didn't know what Fu Li's status was, but seeing the respectful appearance of the officers stationed there standing beside him, they could also imagine that this status was not low.
One of them responded, "My lord, I have no choice but to stop work. Now there is a shortage of food on the construction site, and I have to work seven or eight hours a day. How can I bear it? The person who was whipped to death by the supervisor is hungry." For several days, the bones of the body were too weak."
Fu Li listened to him complaining about the food shortage, and thought to himself that the food distributed here was calculated on a head-to-head basis, and such a situation should not happen.There should be only two possibilities for this. One is that the foreman deliberately lied to mislead himself, and the other is that someone stole the migrant workers' rations to fill their own pockets.
The possibility of the first scenario is unlikely, as long as you randomly ask a few North Korean migrant workers from the construction site, you will know that trying to prevaricate the reason for the suspension of work by lying will only be aggravated.On the contrary, the second situation is very likely to occur. After all, withholding the rations of North Korean workers is not a new operation. Park Beixiu has been using this simple and crude method to seek personal gain since he took office.Follow the example from above to below, since Park Beixiu, an official, behaves like this, then these people below will definitely follow suit without any scruples.
Of course, it was impossible for Fu Li to be unaware of this. In fact, Liu Shang had already told him about this situation before he left.Haihan needed the help of Park Beixiu to persuade Kim Sangheon to accept the immigration plan, so he turned a blind eye to this. As long as the order of the labor camp is not chaotic, it is up to Park Beixiu to operate.
"I will try to solve the problem of rations. You should resume work immediately, and there must be no mistakes!" Fu Li's answer was still very strong, but in fact he had already made some concessions.Since the shutdown could be for a reason, he had to try to fix it.
The foremen looked at me and I looked at you, but they still knelt on the ground and did not respond. It seemed that they were not very convinced by Fu Li's order.
Seeing this, Fu Li didn't bother to tell them more, got up and said "then kneel down and think about it", and then walked away.Regardless of whether the reason for these foremen to stop work is to seek justice for their partners, or to negotiate with the superiors to get enough rations, since they are directly responsible for the shutdown of the saltworks site, Fuli will definitely punish them. And these few people didn't cherish the only chance to escape, so Fu Li naturally wouldn't be polite to them anymore.
The company commander of the garrison was called to ask, and it turned out that the ration deduction mentioned by the foremen did exist, and there were many supervisors and managers involved.
Fu Li was not worried about the disturbances that would be caused by dealing with a few foremen. There were still thousands of North Koreans working for Haihan to make a living. It would not be difficult to promote a few people who were willing to obey orders to become foremen.After the restless people are excluded from here, the security situation at the saltworks site may be effectively improved.
On the other hand, Fu Li felt a bit embarrassed as to what to do with the supervisors who made profits by deducting labor rations.No matter, the grievances of North Korean migrant workers have reached a certain level. If they are left unchecked, troubles will happen sooner or later. Let alone, it is easy to offend the dignitaries behind these supervisors. If this affects the relations and cooperation projects between the two countries, it is in line with the The force is not good to cross the head.
Cui Ren, who had been following silently, observed his words and asked, "Director Fu is worried about how to stop the supervisors from deducting labor rations?"
"What's your idea?" Fu Li asked casually.
"These people regard labor rations as a source of income that can be dealt with at will. Even if you deal with a few people, this kind of problem will recur sooner or later." Cui Ren analyzed: "From the perspective of humble positions, we still have to try to change all these positions. Be yourself."
Fu Li said: "Although what you said is reasonable, it is not easy to do it in practice. These stewards and supervisors are all sent by the powerful, and they also have more or less shares here. It is difficult for us to refuse their placement. The requirement for manual supervision."
"If there is no way to change people, then we can only make a fuss about the system." Cui Ren stayed under Haihan's rule for a few months, and now he is more and more familiar with Haihan's official way of handling things, so he continued Giving Fu Li an analysis: "They can start with the rations because the current system has handed over labor rations to these people for distribution and management. Can this method be changed and the jurisdiction over the distribution of rations be taken back? Now the construction site The food distributed is all shipped from Haihan, so it is only natural that Haihan is responsible for the distribution and distribution."
To be honest, this method sounds good, but it is actually still difficult to realize. After all, this ration distribution right involves the actual interests of many people. If you want to take it back and control it yourself, you will inevitably attract a lot of opposition.To put it more seriously, maybe the next time there is a shutdown, it is not the foreman's tricks, but the supervisors and managers who have joined forces to make things happen.
From Cui Ren's standpoint and height, he would think that this is a solution to the current predicament, but the level of Fu Li's contact and the information he has are far superior to Cui Ren's, and he is more aware of how difficult it is.
But Fu Lijing calmed down and thought about it. This may really be a solution that can fundamentally solve the problem. It's just that with his authority, he can't make such a decision that may affect the overall situation. He must first consult his superiors.
In any case, the top priority is to resume work at the saltworks site as soon as possible, and other things can be put on the back burner.Fu Li ordered to gather the local supervisors and announce his decision and instructions to them.
Fu Li announced four things. First, the overseer who caused death due to negligence was taken back to the Datongjiang base and handed over to North Korean officials for punishment; The family members of the deceased will receive official pensions from Haihan; the fourth is to require the construction site to resume work immediately, and those who deliberately obstruct or delay the resumption of work will be treated as disturbances.
After Fuli announced the handling decision to these managers, they will then separately convey it downwards.For these several decisions, Fu Li did not give any further explanations, but only asked these managers to comply with them, so as not to cause too many disputes and affect the execution efficiency.
In the eyes of these managers, Fu Li's several measures are considered to be slightly more in favor of their camp on the basis of each hitting [-] big boards.After all, the overseer who had the accident was to be handed over to the North Korean authorities, and this was actually a safe escape route for him, so he would definitely not be punished too severely.
All the foremen who organized the stoppage protest were arrested. This is obviously to quell the farce by removing the backbone of the troublemakers and making the migrant workers unsustainable.As for the granting of pensions to the deceased, it was obviously to silence the family members of the parties concerned and avoid subsequent troubles.
These measures quickly took effect. The North Korean laborers who have become a mess have no countermeasures when faced with tough measures. In addition, their livelihoods are still in the hands of Haihan, so they can only choose to obey orders and resume work.The few diehards who refused to submit were quickly arrested, and it was impossible to organize another stoppage.
"Director Fu is swift and resolute in his work, I really admire the humble job!" Cui Ren took the opportunity to flatter him after Fuli had dealt with the emergency at the saltworks construction site.However, he wasn't entirely admiring him in words. Fu Li's treatment measures were considered very thoughtful, and he also learned something from it.
Fu Li was still somewhat dissatisfied with this result, because it actually only temporarily resolved the current situation, and did not achieve his goal of fundamentally solving the problem.He decided to go to Qian Tiandun to ask for instructions after returning to the base to see if he could make some adjustments to the current North Korean labor management system, so as not to be affected by moths affecting Haihan's interests.
But they all came, and Fu Li also took this opportunity to inspect the saltworks construction site.The salt field planned by Haihan is quite large. The coastline at the mouth of the Datong River stretches for more than ten miles, and there is a large bay in it.
Due to limited conditions, the salt field here probably has not been able to use steam engines as a power facility to draw seawater in recent years, and can only use relatively primitive wind power facilities first.However, Haihan's sea salt production technology is far ahead of its peers in this era, and the production cost can be lowered to a level that is difficult for a peer to match, so as to ensure that the salt farm still has considerable profits.
Fu Li doesn't have much professional knowledge in this area, but when he was in Sanya, he also visited the local production process in the Iron Forge Salt Field and Yinggehai Salt Field, so he knew something about it, even better than most of them here. The foremen and supervisors also know more about how the saltworks operate, and they can give pointers and show off their knowledge while visiting.
After enjoying some flattery and flattery, Fu Li also basically confirmed that the construction site of the saltworks had fully resumed work, so he called Cui Ren and drove back to the upstream base.
After hearing Fu Li's report, Qian Tiandun asked noncommittally: "You want to change the existing management system, have you ever thought about why we gave this authority to the North Koreans?"
Regarding this matter, Fu Li heard Liu Shang mention it, and immediately responded: "The main reason is to let the North Korean dignitaries feel at ease to invest money in. They sent people to supervise the work, hoping to be able to grasp the progress of the project and the operating conditions. These people If they get benefits from it, they will naturally speak for us when they report to the higher authorities, so that they can get long-term and stable benefits for themselves.”
Qian Tiandun nodded and said: "Since you understand the truth, then you might as well think about it, if you take back all the opportunities to obtain gray income that you have given out, these people will still be willing to stand on the standpoint of vested interests for us. Do you want to contribute? If you want to resolve the conflict of interest between migrant workers and supervisors, you must first straighten out the relationship between us and the supervisors."
