Chen Yixin's farewell speech was very brief, but the effect seemed to be pretty good. During the process of boarding the ship, these people did not show temporary repentance, crying and crying.Of course, this may also be because the Haihan soldiers deployed on the pier had the effect of mental suppression. Even if someone had doubts about such an arrangement at the imminent time, they would not dare to openly resist after seeing such an atmosphere.
According to the refugee transfer plan formulated by the Civil Affairs Department, the destination of the first batch of refugees is actually not too far from Shandong, and it is relatively close to Jinzhou and the direction of Datong River, especially Jinzhou, which has a large space for receiving population.This is because most of the ships performing missions have been operating in the north for a long time, and the sailors are most familiar with the routes to these two places, and they can reach their destinations without stopping for supplies on the way.The second reason is that the colonies in the south have already organized their own fleets to come to Shandong to pick up people. At that time, these fleets will be responsible for the long-distance routes to send refugees to the south. In this way, the handover procedures between the two parties can be completed in Fushan County. Can save a lot of trouble.
However, Haihan would not tell them exactly where these refugees were going to go before boarding the ship, so as to avoid complications.They will not be informed of the real destination until the ship officially goes to sea.
Seeing hundreds of people boarding and leaving with my own eyes, this scene still had a great impact on the guests invited to witness the departure ceremony. Although they were considered upper-class people in their respective hometowns, almost none of them After a long time at sea, it is also difficult to accept such cross-sea migration.
Fortunately, this situation of being forced to go overseas will not happen to them. Even though Shandong has become a mess, as long as they have enough money in their pockets, they can continue to live under Haihan's protection. living a stable life.Although Fushan County is a small place, it has everything you need for life, and the convenience is not much worse than those in big cities. If it weren't for the high level of local consumption, some of them might have already thought about moving their families here. The side is coming.
Of course, there are some insightful people among them who have already figured out that the reason for being invited to watch the departure ceremony today is not only to show Haihan's goodwill to the people of Ming Dynasty, but also to show them the powerful shipping capabilities.The refugees departing from here today are only the first batch, and there will be tens of thousands of refugees leaving Shandong by boat from here to go overseas.
And these refugees rescued by Haihan will no longer be citizens of Ming Dynasty. Although Chen Yixin claims that they will be able to return to their hometown in the future, anyone with a discerning eye can notice that those Shandong people working for Haihan have long regarded themselves as A member of Haihan almost no longer considers himself a Ming person.
But no matter how good Haihan Country is, it is still a foreign country after all. For these rich people who have no worries about food and clothing, it is safer to stay in Daming.However, seeing that Haihan treated these homeless refugees kindly, everyone felt a little more trust in Haihan.
The departure ceremony lasted for about an hour. Although the scene was a bit boring, since Chen Yixin hadn't left, the others naturally didn't dare to leave early, and waited obediently on the pier until all the fleet set sail.
"It's freezing weather, I'm sorry to have stood at the pier for so long, I've ordered someone to set up a banquet, thank you for attending today's event, please do respect!" Chen Yixin didn't end here, but Those invited to be present then proceed to the next round of activities.
Going to the banquet is of course much better than standing dryly on the pier and blowing the air, and you will have more opportunities to chat with high-ranking Haihan officials like Chen Yixin. Naturally, no one will refuse this new invitation.
However, after they returned to the carriage and set off again, they found that the direction they were heading was not to return to the Majiazhuang business district, but to Zhifu Island, which was listed as a military restricted area.
Even outsiders who are not familiar with the situation in Fushan County will know that Zhifu Island is the camp of the Haihan Army after staying there for a few days, and outsiders cannot enter this military restricted area without permission.For them, Zhifu Island is definitely the most mysterious place in Fushan County, but today they got an invitation from Chen Yixin, which is a very rare opportunity.Some people have even meditated in their hearts, how to brag about their experience of landing on the island after returning home.
However, when Chen Yixin invited them to the island, he did not arrange to visit the military facilities and weapons and equipment. Instead, he went directly to the officer's canteen. He really invited them to a banquet.
"Everyone knows that this is an extraordinary period. Fushan County still needs to receive and resettle a large number of refugees. The food supply is relatively tight, so today's banquet is also very simple. Please forgive me!"
After everyone was seated, Chen Yixin first said a few words on the scene.Naturally, everyone took advantage of the situation and flattered again, praising Chen Yixin for caring about the people and thinking of the people in everything.And some people thought more, secretly wondering if the Haihan people pretended to be poor on purpose, and planned to ask them for money again.
Chen Yixin said again: "In addition, there are two special guests today, everyone can get closer in the future."
After he said this, everyone noticed that there were indeed two relatively unfamiliar faces on the main table.However, everyone subconsciously thought that this should be some unobtrusive rich man, so they were not surprised.
Chen Yixin introduced: "This is Zhang County Magistrate of this county, next to Mr. Zhang is Mr. Huang of this county."
This finally caused a little restlessness. After they came to Fushan County, they had never seen local civil and military officials show up, but they didn't expect these two people to appear in the military restricted zone of the Haihan people. Obviously, they were related to Haihan. The relationship is very unusual.Everyone got up quickly and greeted the two parents.These two people did not put on airs, and they also saluted with everyone.
But after Chen Yixin introduced their identities, without mentioning why they appeared here, he gave the order to start serving food.It was only then that everyone realized that the content of the banquet was not shabby, and it could even be said that it had nothing to do with simplicity.The meat dishes that should be included in an ordinary banquet include a lot of chicken, duck and fish, as well as all kinds of seafood. There are at least a dozen dishes on a table. There is no sign of "food supply shortage" as Chen Yixin said.
And in the refugee camp just a few miles away, the rations that each person can get every day are distributed rations, and it is good enough to barely satisfy their hunger. Compared with the banquet here, it is simply a world of difference.Although they belong to the same county, they are completely different worlds.
Although everyone was a little surprised at first, they immediately felt relieved. After all, this is the place of the Haihan people. Since they have the spare power to save thousands of refugees, it is nothing to set up such a few tables of banquets.What's more, this General Chen is not an ordinary military officer. It is said that Jinzhou across Lianhai is also his jurisdiction, and his treatment naturally cannot be compared with ordinary people.
Of course, some people will think the other way around, since the Haihan people still have enough energy to hold banquets, it shouldn't be a problem to deal with the influx of refugees into Fushan County.From this perspective, these banquet tables are more like the Haihan people showing their strength in disguise.
These people were just thinking about it in their hearts, but they didn't dare to express their feelings, but they didn't say it, but Chen Yixin took the initiative to mention this: "You may think that since you Haihan people have such sufficient supplies, Why can’t we find a way to save more people in Shandong? I want to declare here that although our country is very happy to help the people of Ming Dynasty who have nowhere to go, but due to the diplomatic agreement between our country and Ming Dynasty, we can only accept refugees in Fushan County. We can Ensure that the local supplies are sufficient, but there is no way to help people in other state capitals."
In fact, this is just a scene. Even if there are relevant restrictive measures in the diplomatic agreement between Haihan and Daming, they have basically failed in the current Shandong.As long as Haihan is willing, he can indeed send troops to other state capitals to rescue refugees, and it is not impossible to even send troops to Jinan Prefecture to fight the Qing army head-on.
But the problem is that Haihan's troops deployed in the north are limited, and it is impossible to take into account the two arduous tasks of going deep into the inland to fight against the Qing army and rescue a large number of refugees. water.For Haihan, obtaining population is obviously a higher priority than attacking the Qing army.As long as they don't send out large-scale troops and stick to Fukuyama County honestly, the supply of materials at this stage will indeed not be too tight.
No one dared to question his statement, they could only say yes again and again, but they still didn't quite understand why Chen Yixin invited people like himself to Zhifu Island for a banquet at this time.However, frightened by Chen Yixin's power, no one dared to ask him.
After eating and drinking for a while, Chen Yixin tapped the side of the bowl lightly with his chopsticks, and the dinner immediately became quiet again, and everyone was waiting for him to bring up serious matters.
"Everyone has been in Fushan County for some time. I don't know if you can get used to living here? If you have any inconvenient places, you can tell me directly. I will try my best to answer these questions for you." Chen Yixin After finishing speaking, he looked around at the crowd, as if waiting for their response.
Everyone thought that there was nothing to criticize in Fushan County except for the high prices, but in the current situation in Shandong, it would be considered good to be able to buy things with money. Being robbed for being too rich.They are willing to stay in Fushan County, naturally because they value the living environment more and are less sensitive to money expenses, so they have nothing to complain about.
Seeing that no one asked any questions, Chen Yixin continued: "All of you here today are well-known figures in the local area, but this time there was a war in Shandong, and everyone had to leave their hometowns and go to Fushan County to escape the war. They all suffered a lot of losses. I have a proposal, which may help you make up for some of the losses."
Everyone became interested when they heard it. They escaped now, but it’s hard to say whether their homeland is still there after the war is over. The actual losses suffered are hard to estimate at present, but the huge expenses during the escape , which is also a number that cannot be ignored.If there is a way to reduce the loss, no one should reject such a possibility.
Chen Yixin said: "As we all know, the trade between our country and Daming is mainly in the form of sea trade, and a huge amount of goods are imported and exported through Zhifu Port every year. I think that even if you have not come here to conduct trade activities in person, I have heard about the operation here more or less.”
"I think Haihan's trade situation in Shandong still has a lot of potential to be developed, so I plan to set up a trade organization formed by Shandong merchants, so that every state capital can have our country's trade partners. Maybe you are interested in my country's business I don’t know much about credit, and I’m worried about the reliability of the cooperation, so today I specially invited Zhang Zhixian and Huang Bazong to be guarantors, so that everyone can dispel their doubts and cooperate with our country with peace of mind.”
After hearing this, everyone finally understood why Chen Yixin arranged the banquet to be held on Zhifu Island.He invited local civil and military officials to attend, but the purpose was to guarantee Haihan's business reputation. This kind of operation is indeed not suitable for rumors. Naturally, no idlers will chew their tongues on Zhifu Island.
But they never dreamed that these two adults were not invited by Chen Yixin, but they applied to come to Zhifu Island to escape the war.Naturally, Chen Yixin didn't want to raise these two people for nothing, so he just seized the opportunity to let them show up and play a role.
As for the establishment of a trade organization, Chen Yixin was reminded by Hao Wanqing that he could do so.These rich people who came to Fushan County to escape the war have actually been screened invisibly. Their coming to Fushan County shows that they have a relatively high degree of trust in Haihan, and the financial resources they have shown in Fushan County can also It has proved its strength from the side and is qualified to become Haihan's business partner.
Of course, the most important point is that these people currently need to rely on Haihan's protection to live a stable life, so Haihan's request to them has a relatively greater chance of success.
If these people can be persuaded to cooperate, then Haihan can take this opportunity to obtain a group of powerful and well-informed local distributors, and after the war is over, they can roll out a new business network in Shandong.After a long time, business partners can naturally gradually develop a deeper cooperative relationship, and these channels established through trade activities can also be used to circulate other valuable things, such as intelligence.
In times of peace, this way of promoting business cooperation would be difficult to achieve good results. Haihan has not made much progress in this area in the past few years in Shandong, and most of the business channels are run by the Ma family. , the scale of trade is difficult to increase rapidly.And this time, if we can take advantage of the war and recruit more influential people in the local area, it will definitely be of great benefit to the business operations in Shandong after the war.
