Chapter 1859 Industrial Cooperation

Allowing foreign funds to enter the country to build industries is a new thing for North Korea. If it is just a commercial behavior, it may be difficult to obtain official support. After all, there are too many taboo sidesteps, and North Korea may not be willing to accept it.

But Haehan tied this to the relationship between the two countries and gave North Korea's ruling class considerable benefits, thus making this seemingly unlikely cooperation a reality.

For ordinary people in North Korea, they will not be able to feel the impact of this cooperation plan personally for a while, but since this is a project brought by the Haihan people to save 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 it. Of course, the king and ministers have already agreed to this plan. Even if some people question its rationality, it is difficult for them to adjust to the current situation.

What impact has it had?

There are actually only two types of Koreans who really have a vital interest in this. One is the powerful class who can obtain considerable profits from it, and the other is the refugees who lost their homes due to the war and accepted Haihan's employment. Especially the latter, who number in the tens of thousands.

The need for this livelihood is far greater than the ruling class that profits from it.

The refugees who originally gathered near Pyongyang City to seek official relief after the war finally had a more reliable place to go. Haihan specially sent several teams to recruit these refugees near Pyongyang City, with the slogan "Everyone is

Although the conditions may seem extremely limited, for the many refugees who lack food and clothing and cannot survive, this is probably the only way to survive at the moment.

Thousands of North Korean refugees gathered at the pier on the south bank of Pyongyang City, and then, under the organization of Haihan, lined up to board sailboats and sailed down the Taedong River to save the trouble of trekking to their destinations. Many of them

People had already returned to the northern war zone once after the war, and after confirming that their homes were completely destroyed and post-war reconstruction could not be completed in a short period of time, they had no choice but to flee south again.

The North Korean official is unable to organize these refugees and relocate them to other places, and even basic food supplies have been intermittent and difficult to guarantee. If Haihan hadn't provided this solution, thousands of refugees would have been gathered together for such a long time.

Big chaos is only a matter of time.

In order to ensure that these North Korean refugees could be properly resettled after arriving at the scheduled construction site, Haihan transported a large amount of food and tents from Zhejiang. In addition, he also took advantage of the good soil and water conservancy conditions near the Datong River base to organize

Thousands of acres of land have been cultivated, and potatoes from the previous season will be planted first, so that they can be harvested as this year's winter grain in October and November.

It is also a big test for Haihan to organize several large-scale construction sites to start construction while constantly recruiting and resettling North Korean refugees. Fu Li was transferred to North Korea to serve as the civil affairs director of the Datong River Base, and he has not yet sat down.

Rebian was promoted again. As the two countries reached an industrial cooperation agreement and entered the implementation stage, the scope of his jurisdiction expanded from the Datong River base to the entire industrial zone designated by Haihan in the Datong River basin, and the number of North Korean employees in the area also increased

It 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 as busy as when he first arrived in North Korea. Most of these North Korean employees are refugees. In order to

If you can keep your job, you can basically obey Haihan's management relatively well.

What really gives Fu Li a headache is not these hired workers, but the various figures sent by various parties to serve as supervisors and managers. These people are not North Korean officials, but are all under the control of North Korean dignitaries who have shares in these industries.

They are errand boys. Their task is to supervise Haihan's compliance with the cooperation agreement between the two countries and ensure that the interests of the boss they work for will not be harmed.

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. However, these unofficial people often cannot grasp the scale of behavior and may even interfere with

The daily management of Haihan Official.

Today's new situation is related to these North Korean supervisors. Fu Li received a report that a North Korean supervisor at the saltworks site personally punished someone for slacking off work. As a result, he failed to grasp the balance and beat the person to death.

.The North Korean supervisor who took action also aroused public anger. If it were not for the Haihan Army on duty at the scene, I am afraid it would be difficult to escape from the angry people. Now that the work at the saltworks has been suspended, the people demanded that the supervisor who killed others should be dealt with first.

Return to work.

According to the cooperation agreement between the two countries, if such serious security cases occur among North Korean workers, Haihan must negotiate with North Korean officials to handle them. The people below do not dare to handle the matter without authorization and can only report the situation to Fuli first.

Fu Li frowned after reading the briefing that was rushed from the salt field site by a rider, and his resentment towards these North Korean supervisors increased. Fu Li really didn't understand how the above agreed when negotiating a cooperation plan with North Korea.

This is an obviously troublesome condition, which has led to constant problems since the implementation of the plan. This is not the first time that conflicts have occurred between North Korean supervisors and hired workers in recent times, and almost every time it will lead to more serious consequences.

He had to run back and forth for these crappy things.

If Fu Li had the decision-making power, he would definitely drive away all these so-called supervisors without hesitation and leave it to his own people to manage the North Korean employees. These nonsense incidents would definitely be greatly reduced.

Of course, based on the current actual situation, his wish can only stay in the idea stage, and there is basically no possibility of putting it into practice. The instructions issued by Victory Fort through the radio are very clear.

In addition to managing civil affairs, the task is to ensure that diplomatic relations with North Korea will not be affected by the personnel hired by Haihan. In other words, the above believes that the relationship between the two countries should be the most important at the moment, and other issues

, even including the project progress, can be put back later.

It was not Fu Li's first day as an official. Of course he knew what was important at this time. The interests of these civilians seemed insignificant in the context of country-to-country relations. What's more, these people were not Haihan citizens.

Seriously speaking, it is also an internal conflict of another country, and there is really no need for me to intervene too much.

But the matter involved the Haihan Saltworks project, which had already been disrupted to the point of a shutdown, so he could only make a trip in person. However, according to the rules, the matter required communication between the competent officials of the two countries before handling it, so he was still very business-like.

The public office went to find Park Beixiu and asked him to go with him to the saltworks construction site to handle the matter.

"Director Fu, why bother you to go there personally for this kind of thing?" After Pu Beixiu listened to Fu Li's story, she gave him an idea: "Recall the supervisor who messed up the matter and tell him to go back to the main office.

Go home, and then announce to the workers that the person has been punished. If the workers who were killed have family members, they will be given some pension. If there are no family members, they will simply perform a ritual and find a place to bury them. If the strike continues like this,

Then it will be regarded as not abiding by the rules on the construction site, and he will be expelled from the construction site immediately. With a combination of kindness and power, the matter will naturally be settled quickly."

Fu Lixin said, it's easy for you to say it. After all, I'm just lazy and don't want to make this trip. If Park Beixiu's method is followed, it is indeed possible to achieve the effect he said, but if one of the links is not done well, let the local government

The migrant workers continue to go on strike, delaying the construction of the saltworks. When the time comes, they will be the ones to take the blame.

"Master Park's words make sense, but in order to avoid unnecessary complications, I think it would be more appropriate to go there in person. I have already asked people to prepare the carriage and horses, and we can set off immediately." Fu Li still insisted on inviting Park Beixiu to accompany him.

Park Beixiu rolled her eyes and found another excuse: "I caught a cold yesterday and felt a little unwell. I'm afraid the fatigue of driving may aggravate the condition... I don't think it's better to let Cui Ren go with Director Fu.

"

Fu Lidao said: "According to the principle of reciprocity, if we have differences in handling this matter, I should discuss it with Mr. Park. Cui Ren has no official status and he is not qualified."

Pu Beixiu said: "There is no need to discuss this matter, just let Director Fu's wishes prevail."

Fu Li saw that he was going to be lazy because he was relieved, so he stopped trying to persuade him. In fact, it was only twenty miles from the Datong River base to the salt field construction site at the estuary, and it would take less than half a day to go back and forth by carriage, but there was currently only one tidal flat in the area.

There was no oil or water on the muddy ground, so Pu Beixiu was naturally too lazy to make a special trip for such trivial matters. If Fu Li hadn't come to invite them in person, he would have kicked them out long ago.

As the industrial cooperation plan entered the implementation stage and the number of North Korean workers hired increased significantly, Park Beishiu's jurisdiction also increased like Fuli. This also led to a group of people under him to be promoted. Originally, they were just in the office.

Choi In, who manages half of the North Korean labor camps in the Taedong River base, now has greater authority. He is responsible for the labor affairs at several new construction sites outside the Taedong River base. Of course, this so-called escrow

Most of the time, he was just running errands. He had no formal official position and his authority was not as good as that of officials appointed by the court like Park Buk-soo.

However, this is a rare treat for Cui Ren, who was born as a civilian. Especially Park Beixiu usually does not want to leave the base and sends him out to patrol around. This gives him more opportunities to work with Haihan officials and understand Haihan.

This also broadened Han's horizons as to how he organized and constructed such a large-scale project.

After Cui Ren received the notice, he immediately rushed to meet Fu Li and followed him to the construction site where the accident occurred. Cui Rencai got a general understanding of what happened there from Fu Li on the way. He did not immediately give Fu Li advice like Pu Beixiu did.

Instead, he first asked Fu Li for his opinion on the matter.

Through this period of contact, Fu Li knew that Cui Ren likes to try to flatter others, so he did not hide his thoughts at the moment: "This kind of thing has happened too frequently recently, and it gets out of hand every time. I hope that he can

Find a once-and-for-all solution... If that doesn't work, then at least we have to scare the monkeys, severely punish the offenders, and let the construction site be peaceful for a while. Cui Ren, what do you think?"

Cui Rendao: "If this really happened because of sabotage, then I think that the supervisor did not do too much. He just didn't grasp the scale well and tried to mediate it as much as possible. And if there was no sabotage, it was the supervisor

If there is a conflict with migrant workers for other reasons and one person dies, then the supervisor will be pulled out and severely punished in order to calm the public's anger."

Fu Li shook his head and said: "Your opinions are actually similar to Mr. Park's. They both want to solve the current matter as soon as possible, but they have not considered how to avoid similar situations in the future. Think again."

Cui Ren thought for a while and then added: "The key to this kind of incident is the conflict between migrant workers and supervisors. These supervisors are not officials. At best, they are just like subordinates, just errands. It will definitely be easy for the migrant workers to lack awe of them."

Conflicts arise. If we want to solve it from a long-term perspective, we must look at the root cause of the conflict."

Fu Li nodded slightly and said, "Then how do you think we should solve it?"

Cui Rendao: "Of course it is impossible for the imperial court to appoint all these people as officials, so there are only two solutions, either to remove all these supervisors and supervisors, or to help them establish their authority so that workers will not dare to fight with them anymore.

"

Fu Li asked again: "Which method do you think is easier to achieve?"

Cui Ren hesitated for a moment before responding: "I heard that these supervisors and supervisors are all big shots who take orders from above. I want to remove them all. I'm afraid that there are too many aspects involved and it will be a troublesome thing to deal with... So I'm sorry."

I think the second method is easier to implement."

While Fu Li asked Cui Ren questions, he was also sorting out his thoughts in his mind. In the end, he was helpless to find that the situation was indeed as Cui Ren said. The method that could control the occurrence of such incidents in the long term might be the right way.

Contrary to his original intention, instead of driving back these North Korean supervisors who seemed to be a hindrance, he had to try to establish their prestige 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 of the construction site and speed up the progress of the project, Fu Li cannot think of any more effective method at the moment.

There is no official road between the Datong River base and the salt field construction site. Even though it is only 20 miles away, it would be quite difficult for Fuli and Cui Ren. Cui Ren, who rarely has the opportunity to ride a carriage, had erratic steps when he got off the car. If it weren't for

Fu Li gave him a hand, almost losing his footing.

The first thing Fu Li did was to find a Haihan Army company commander who maintained public security here, to learn from him the details of the incident and to confirm the division of responsibilities in the incident.
