Chapter 1860 Killing the chicken to scare the monkey
Things here are not complicated. In fact, the report sent from the salt field site to the Datong River base has already explained the general situation. There was indeed a situation of slowdown on the construction site, and then the North Korean supervisor pulled out the leader among them and tortured him.
The whipping was intended to scare the monkeys, but the person who was being whipped was unable to withstand the whipping and his life was at risk.
It should be noted that the Haihan garrison here is not responsible for directly commanding the work of migrant workers, but is only responsible for maintaining security. The labor tasks of the migrant workers are arranged by Haihan engineering personnel, while the tasks responsible for supervising the progress of the project are
Hae Han and the North Korean overseer divided the work.
Since the number of engineering personnel sent by Haihan to North Korea is limited and they have to be assigned to multiple construction sites, more than half of the daily supervision tasks are performed by North Korean supervisors, and their role is even indispensable. Fu Li
The earlier idea of driving away all North Korean supervisors can only be considered under this current situation. Although these supervisors have caused a lot of trouble, without these people watching, the construction progress on the construction site will only slow down.
Slower.
If we want to look at this matter from a legal perspective, it is that the supervisor's unauthorized lynching led to the consequences of manslaughter. It is reasonable for the migrant workers to demand that the supervisor who caused death be dealt with. But from Fu Li's point of view,
However, this matter cannot be simply handled as such. Not to mention the background of this supervisor, if they are really punished, then these supervisors will have many more taboos to carry out their work in the future, which will not be conducive to the management of the construction site, and may even cause harm to the construction site.
It was counterproductive. Fu Li didn't want to calm down the anger of the migrant workers, but also arouse the dissatisfaction of the supervisors. This would most likely push the gourd and cause a new situation.
What Fu Li wants is not just to calm down the current disputes on the construction site, but also to resolve the conflicts between the two groups of migrant workers and supervisors as much as possible. Although this is actually an internal matter of North Korea, it should have been dealt with
Park Bei-soo, who was responsible for this, let go, and Fu Li had no choice but to bite the bullet.
Fu Li had basically made a clear judgment about which was more serious, so he ordered the migrant workers who had stopped work to nominate a few representatives to come forward to discuss how to deal with the matter. Since he had made up his mind to scare the monkeys, Fu Li naturally wanted to take the lead among the migrant workers.
Get rid of them first. Without a leader, these migrant workers will soon become a mess, which will be much easier to deal with.
"We will report the manslaughter supervisor to the North Korean officials for fair treatment, but in the final analysis this incident is just an accident. No one should use this as an excuse to incite a work stoppage." Fu Li paused and said in a more serious tone: "You guys
It’s probably not the first day I’ve worked here. I think you all know what the shutdown means. I hope you all have a clear understanding of whether you can afford the consequences.”
Facing several migrant workers, Fu Li's words were quite rude. He didn't plan to spend too much time bargaining with these people. If the foremen wanted to negotiate terms with him about the suspension of work, then he would take action.
Move these people.
These foremen didn't know what Fu Li's status was, but when they saw the officers stationed in the local area standing respectfully beside him, they could imagine that this person had a high status.
One of them responded: "Sir, we have no choice but to stop work. Now there is a shortage of food on the construction site, and we have to work for seven or eight hours a day. How can we bear it? The man who was whipped to death by the supervisor was hungry.
For several days, my body and bones were really weak."
Fu Li listened to him complaining about the shortage of food, and thought to himself that the food allocated here is calculated on a per capita basis, so this situation should not happen. There should be only two possibilities for this. One is that the foreman deliberately lied and misled
Secondly, there are people who deduct the rations of migrant workers and line their own pockets.
The first scenario is unlikely. You only need to ask a few North Korean migrant workers from the construction site to find out. If you want to lie to explain the reason for the shutdown, you will only be punished. The second scenario is very likely to occur. After all,
Depriving North Korean workers of their rations is not a new practice. Park Buk-soo has been using this simple and crude method to seek personal gain since he took office. What works is effective. Since Park Buk-soo, an official, behaves this way, then the following people will definitely follow suit.
Unscrupulous.
Of course, it was impossible for Fu Li to be unaware of this. In fact, Liu Shang had already given him a brief introduction to this situation before leaving his job. Hae Han needed to use Park Baixiu to persuade Kim Sang Heon to accept the immigration plan, so he turned a blind eye to this.
Turning a blind eye, as long as the order in the labor camp is maintained, it will be up to Park Beixiu to take control.
"I will try to solve the problem of rations. You can resume work immediately without any mistakes!" Fu Li's answer was still tough, but in fact he had made some concessions. Since the suspension of work may have been caused by a reason, he had to try to solve the problem.
Just solve 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.
When Fu Li saw this, he didn't bother to tell them more. He stood up and said, "Let's kneel down and think it over clearly" and then walked away. No matter the reason why these foremen organized the work stoppage was to seek justice for their partners, or they wanted to talk to their superiors.
If they are provided with sufficient rations, since they are directly responsible for the suspension of work at the salt farm, Fu Li will definitely punish them. However, these people do not cherish their only chance to escape, so Fu Li will naturally not
Don't be polite to him anymore.
The garrison company commander was called in for questioning, and it turned out that the situation of withholding rations mentioned by the foremen did indeed exist, and there were quite a few supervisors and supervisors involved.
Fu Li was not worried about the turmoil caused by dealing with a few foremen. There were thousands of Koreans here who made a living by working for Haihan. It was not difficult to promote a few people who were willing to obey orders to become foremen.
After the restless people are eliminated from here, the security situation at the saltworks site may be effectively improved.
However, Fu Li felt a little embarrassed about how to deal with the supervisors and supervisors who made profits by deducting labor rations. No matter what, the grievances of the North Korean migrant workers had reached a certain level. If they were left unchecked, something would happen sooner or later. No matter what, it would happen again.
It is easy to offend the powerful people behind these supervisors. If this affects the relationship between the two countries and the projects in cooperation, Fu Li will not be able to communicate with his superiors.
Cui Ren, who had been following behind silently, observed what was happening and took the initiative to ask: "Director Fu, are you worried about how to stop the supervisors from deducting workers' rations?"
"What are your ideas?" Fu Li asked casually.
"These people regard labor rations as a source of income that they can use at will. Even if they deal with a few people, this problem will happen again sooner or later." Cui Ren analyzed: "In view of the humble position, we still have to try to change all these positions.
Only when you become your own person can you do it.”
Fu Lidao: "Although what you said makes sense, it is not easy to implement in practice. These stewards and supervisors are sent by powerful people, and they also have more or less shares here. It is difficult for us to refuse their placement.
Requirements for manual supervision.”
"If there is no way to replace people, then we can only make a fuss about the system." Cui Ren has been under Haihan's rule for several months, and now he is becoming more and more familiar with Haihan's official way of handling things, so he continues now
Gai Fuli analyzed: "They can take action on rations because the current system hands over labor rations to these people for distribution and management. So can this method be changed and the jurisdiction over the distribution of rations taken back. Now on the construction site
The food distributed is all shipped from Haihan, so it is natural that Haihan should be responsible for distribution and distribution."
To be honest, this method sounds good, but in fact it is still difficult to implement. After all, this ration distribution power involves the actual interests of many people. If you want to take it back and control it yourself, it will inevitably attract a lot of opposition. To put it more seriously, it may not be possible next time
If work stops again, it won't be the foremen doing something weird, but the supervisors joining forces to do something.
From Cui Ren's point of view, he would think this is a way to solve the current dilemma, but Fu Li has far more information than Cui Ren at all levels, and he is more aware of how difficult it is.
But Fu Li calmed down and thought about it. This might be a solution that could fundamentally solve the problem. However, given his authority, he could not make such a decision that might affect the overall situation. He had to ask his superiors for instructions first.
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 hold for now. Fu Li ordered to summon the local supervisors and announce his decisions and instructions to them.
Fu Li announced four things. First, the supervisor who negligently caused death was escorted back to the Datongjiang base and handed over to North Korean officials for his release. Second, several foremen who organized the work stoppage at the construction site were detained on charges of leading the trouble. Third,
The family members of the deceased will receive official pensions from Haihan; fourth, the construction site is required to resume work immediately. If there is any deliberate obstruction or delay in resuming work, it will be treated as a riot.
After Fu Li announced the decision to these managers, they then conveyed it to them separately. For these decisions, Fu Li did not give any more explanations, but only asked these managers to comply with them to avoid causing too much controversy and affecting the public.
Execution efficiency.
In the eyes of these managers, Fu Li's several measures were slightly more biased towards their camp on the basis of fifty-fifty measures each. After all, the supervisor who had the accident was to be handed over to North Korean officials for disposal, and this
In fact, it was a safe escape route arranged for him, and he would definitely not be punished too severely.
The several foremen who organized the work stoppage protest were all arrested. This was obviously to remove the backbone of the troublemakers and make the migrant workers unable to survive, so as to calm the farce. As for providing pensions to the deceased, it was obviously to
Block the mouths of the family members of the parties concerned to avoid subsequent troubles.
These measures quickly took effect. The North Korean workers who had become a mess had no way to deal with the tough measures. In addition, their livelihood was still in the hands of Haihan, so they had no choice but to obey orders and resume work.
The few die-hard elements who were unwilling to submit were quickly arrested, making it impossible to organize another work stoppage.
"Director Fu works vigorously and resolutely. I really admire him for his humble position!" Cui Ren lost no time in flattering Fu Li after he handled the emergency at the saltworks site. However, he was not entirely verbally admiring Fu Li.
The several handling measures he took were considered very thoughtful, and he also learned something from them.
Fu Li was still a little 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 for instructions after returning to the base.
, to see if certain adjustments can be made to the current North Korean labor management system to prevent Haihan's interests from being affected by moths.
However, after coming, Fu Li also took this opportunity to inspect the salt field 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 also a large area.
of bay.
Due to limited conditions, the salt fields here may not be able to use steam engines as power facilities to extract seawater in recent years, and can only use relatively primitive wind power facilities. However, Haihan's technology in sea salt production is far ahead of this era.
Compared with its peers, the production cost can be reduced to a level that is difficult to achieve by its peers, thereby ensuring that the salt farm still makes considerable profits.
Fu Li doesn't have much professional knowledge in this area, but when he was in Sanya, he also went to the Ironforumburg Salt Field and the Yinggehai Salt Field to visit the local production processes. He had some understanding of them, even better than most here.
The foremen and supervisors also have a better understanding of how the salt works operate. They can also give pointers while visiting and show off their knowledge.
After enjoying some flattery, Fu Li basically confirmed that the salt field construction site had fully resumed work, and then he called Cui Ren and took the bus back to the base upstream.
After listening to Fu Li's report, Qian Tiandun asked noncommittally: "You want to change the existing management system, but have you ever thought about why we gave this authority to the North Koreans in the first place?"
Regarding this matter, Fu Li heard Liu Shang mention it, and immediately responded: "The main reason is to allow the North Korean dignitaries to invest money with peace of mind. They sent people to supervise the work, hoping to be able to understand the progress of the project and the operating status. These people
If they get benefits from it, they will naturally take the initiative to speak for us when reporting to their superiors, so that they can get long-term and stable benefits."
Qian Tiandun nodded and said: "Since you understand the truth, you might as well think about it. If we take back all the opportunities to obtain gray income, these people will still be willing to stand for us from the standpoint of vested interests."
Do you want to contribute? If you want to resolve the conflict of interest between the migrant workers and the supervisors, you must first straighten out the relationship between us and the supervisors."
