Chapter 2147
As the war in Hirado comes to an end, all departments involved in the operation will naturally try to seize this opportunity to get more benefits in their own pockets. The frontline combat troops are generally tacitly allowed to withhold part of the wealth looted locally.
As a reward for the soldiers' bloody battles, the logistics support troops at the rear will definitely not be able to get a share of it. If they want to get some oil and water, they have to find ways to operate it themselves.
But of course this is not a problem for experienced quartermasters. After all, there are always a lot of loopholes to exploit in logistics procurement when a cannon goes off. What's more, this time there are suddenly more people who need to be temporarily placed in Seogwipo.
There are thousands of refugees per household, and it is not difficult for the military quartermaster to extract a sum of money from his daily expenditure items with just a few clicks of his fingers.
Of course, this kind of operation also requires someone's cooperation. The money must be spent first, then go around outside and then come back, so that the oil and water can be extracted perfectly and pocketed. He Wenguang is worried that these local North Korean fishermen will not understand his intentions.
In the past few days, I have been looking for the right person to handle this matter. The appearance of Yu Chengli undoubtedly made He Wenguang see the best person to implement this plan. He just mentioned during the dinner that he had enough funds, but it was difficult to provide it locally.
After the refugees purchased enough food, Yu Chengli understood and helped him complete all subsequent operations.
Of course, this is not the first time Yu Chengli has done this kind of thing. When he was in Hirado, he was known for his ability to tap official connections. Otherwise, how could he become a licensed textile supplier specifically serving the feudal lord? During this period, he did many things like this
He Wenguang raised his head, and he vaguely guessed the other party's plan. After a few test sentences, it turned out to be what he thought. Then the next thing was very simple.
Of course, it was impossible for Yu Chengli to go fishing by himself, but he felt that his landlord and errand boy was quite clever, and he happened to be a fisherman, so it was perfect for him to be responsible for handling this matter. As expected, upon asking, Yin Changxing immediately agreed to the job.
However, Yin Changxing did not intend to handle this matter alone. He could usually catch dozens of kilograms of seafood during a morning trip to the sea, which was far from meeting Yu Chengli's requirements. It would be better to collect the goods from fishermen in the same village at a low price, and then
Hand it over to the immigration camp to pay the bill. Yu Chengli only said that it should not be less than one or two hundred kilograms, so he could get three or four hundred kilograms, so that he could easily make a fortune by acting as an intermediary without even having to go to sea in person.
The difference in price is actually a small amount of money to Yu Chengli. He does not expect to rely on this extra income to make up for his property losses in Hirado. He just wants to use this to get closer to He Wenguang and make himself happy during his stay in Seogwipo.
The situation can be better. In addition, if there is any new news about Haihan, with He Wenguang's relationship, he can also receive the news as soon as possible.
This job has a more important meaning for fisherman Yin Changxing. On the one hand, he can get some benefits to subsidize his family, and he can make a good income by reselling seafood every day; on the other hand, it can also give him the opportunity to earn a higher salary.
Social status and influence. In the fishing village where Yin Changxing lives, even the village chief is not qualified to do business directly with the Haihan people. But now that he can actually break through this boundary, it will have a big impact on the people of this small place.
impact.
In less than a month since the Haehan Army entered Seogwipo, the local people have realized what real power is. The peaceful life in Seogwipo has been completely broken, and everyone has become a temporary member of the Haehan Army.
The hired workers, even the Jeju Mumu Ambassador, whom many people may not see once in their lives, are cautious in front of the Haihan Army, for fear of offending these powerfully armed outsiders.
Yin Changxing was also scared at first, but Yu Chengli's series of operations in recent days made him realize one thing. Although he could not use money to open a road like Yu Chengli, but if he had to deal with the logistics officers of the Haihan Army every day, then
You will have many opportunities to express yourself, and perhaps you can use this to win the favor of the Haihan people. As long as you handle the relationship with the Haihan people well, you will have the opportunity to use the opportunity to show off your power and become a respected existence.
Yin Changxing did not receive a good education. His ideas were more based on his nature and observation of the surrounding environment, and he keenly discovered certain opportunities that might help change his destiny. This is probably a kind of talent.
It's just that his starting point is too low. If he wants to get ahead, he has to work harder than others.
The kickback method agreed upon by He Wenguang and Yu Chengli is not uncommon in the military, but as long as no one above carefully checks the accounts and actual operations, this small amount of money will usually not cause any trouble. In the past few years, he was arrested due to accidents.
Tie Pingjiang, the quartermaster of the Shandong garrison reported by the military, was eventually convicted of corruption, but in fact his problem was letting enemy spies infiltrate the refugee camp, not how much money he had embezzled.
In other words, as long as He Wenguang guarantees that there will be no trouble in the temporary immigration camp he manages, such as riots, epidemics, or a large number of abnormal deaths, then it is not right to just take a part of the funds and put it into his own pocket.
He would not care too much. As for whether the other part of these expenditures went into Yu Chengli's pocket or someone else's pocket, He Wenguang also didn't care, as long as he completed the things he told him.
In the current chaotic environment, it is undoubtedly extremely rare to still make money. After Seogwipo was included in the military control zone, in order to ensure that military information would not be leaked, local fishermen were prohibited from sailing out to sea.
, we can only catch some small fish and shrimps on the coast, and there is no way to sell them to the Haihan people.
But the errand that Yin Changxing took made the situation better. Yu Chengli had helped him apply for a sea charter for five fishing boats, and the seafood caught by these fishing boats would be handed over to the immigration camp through Yu Chengli and Yin Changxing. This was also
This means that the fishermen who work for Yin Changxing can also earn a share of their income.
Of course Yin Changxing did not own five fishing boats, but since he had money to make, it was not a problem for him to find someone to organize a fishing trip. So Yin Changxing suddenly became a "capable person" in the fishing village.
The fishing charter also helped the fishermen sell their caught seafood to the Haihan people. For a time, there was an endless stream of people who took the initiative to visit him for various purposes.
However, Yin Changxing did not get carried away because of this. He knew very well who gave him this food, so he would go to Yu Chengli, who had moved to the village chief's house, to greet him every day, and also ask for some tips on dealing with the Haihan people.
In fact, Yu Chengli has only been dealing with the Haihan people for a very short time, and he cannot say that he has much experience yet. However, he still suggested that Yin Changxing should try to learn more of the Haihan people's language first, which will help him communicate with the Haihan people.
"Maybe you will have the opportunity to go to Haihan Country in the future, and then you won't have to worry about the language barrier."
Yu Chengli's words seemed to ignite something deep in Yin Changxing's heart. Compared with a small closed rural place like Seogwipo, the outside world should be more exciting. How powerful is the Haihan Kingdom with its powerful military?
He was indeed very curious about the wealth. It would be best if he had the opportunity to see it with his own eyes.
However, he also knows that he has a humble status. Just because he can sell fish to the Haihan people does not mean that he can go to the Haihan Kingdom. In his opinion, at least a person with status like Yu Chengli can get a ticket to the Haihan Kingdom.
qualifications.
Yin Changxing expressed his concerns in stammering Chinese. After hearing this, Yu Chengli laughed and said: "It's not as difficult as you think. As far as I know, Haihan has been introducing immigrants from abroad for many years, and has been treating the foreign population
There is almost no threshold for settlement, but it is a little more troublesome to apply for Haihan citizenship... Think about it, those poor Japanese refugees in the immigration camp will be transported to areas under Haihan for resettlement after that. They can all go there.
, why can’t you go?”
"Can I go too?" Yin Changxing was a little in disbelief after hearing this, but immediately returned to his inferiority complex: "But this villain only knows how to go out to sea to fish, and nothing else. Isn't it okay to go to Haihan?"
Or should I be a fisherman? I’m afraid Haihan Country won’t accept waste like me!”
When Yu Chengli heard what he said, he couldn't help but show off his knowledge: "Did you know that there are only a few hundred authentic Haihan people. Later, when a country was established in the south, its citizens all immigrated from various countries through various means. Look at this place
In fact, there were not many Haihan people with pure blood in the Haihan army that conquered Japan. The Haihan country called such immigrants who moved in from abroad as naturalized people. Almost all Haihan citizens were naturalized. These Haihan soldiers
Before joining the army, many people carried hoes and fishnets. If you are brave enough, you can go to the Haihan people to sign up for the army right now."
Yin Changxing waved his hands repeatedly and said: "I don't have the guts to go into battle and kill people, so I don't have to join the army!"
"It's okay if you don't want to join the army. If you want to go to Haihan, just tell Mr. He and you can get on their ship and go with these Japanese refugees." Yu Chengli had nothing to do at the moment, so he simply gave it to him slowly.
Yin Changxing gave instructions: "When you arrive in Haihan, you can find a job and stay there for a year and a half, and then you can become a naturalized citizen in Haihan. Use your brain, bring some capital, and do some small business there.
, it shouldn’t be a problem to support the family. If we can slowly bring the family over in two years, it will have a better future than staying in a small place like Seogwipo.”
A few days ago, Yin Changxing had heard Yu Chengli talk about the various prosperity scenes he had seen in Zhoushan in the past few days. Now he listened to his explanation again. It would be a lie to say that he was not impressed at all. But when he thought about leaving his hometown and going to a complete stranger,
He really couldn't muster enough courage to venture into a strange environment where he didn't even speak the same language.
Compared to the hesitant Yin Changxing, Monk Xiunian, who is also currently working for the Haihan Army, has a much more stable mentality.
From the moment he fell out with the monks of Guangming Temple, Xiunian had no nostalgia for his past life. He knew that he could never return to that group, so starting a new life alone was the only option in the future.
Xiunian took advantage of the opportunity that fell from the sky and obtained the authority of a temporary immigration officer for himself. Of course, although he was said to be an immigration officer, he actually did not have an official position or formal establishment. He only had temporary management authority given to him by the Haihan Army.
After taking office, Xiunian quickly showed his talents in management and communication, acting as an information channel between the Japanese people and the government. On the one hand, he conveyed to He Wenguang the various requests of the refugees for improving the current living conditions, allowing the officials to
Understand the ideological status of the refugee group; on the other hand, explain to the refugees the arrangements that Haihan officials will make for them in the future, so as to appease the emotions of these refugees and prevent them from causing all kinds of bad things due to temporary house arrest.
idea.
Limited by the objective conditions of Seogwipo, He Wenguang does not have many means to change the living conditions of the refugees. Whether it is building temporary shelters or increasing ration supplies, they are not the best options at the moment.
There is still some food in storage in the army, but it is military food. Without the money, Tiandun and Shi Diwen's orders cannot be tampered with. If it is used to supply these refugees, it will be a serious crime that will kill one's head. As for the construction of temporary residences, there is no such thing.
It's possible. The number of local people requisitioned is limited, and it is impossible to complete temporary shacks for thousands of people in a short period of time. Besides, the ships coming from various places to fetch people are already on the road. It will take a few days to complete the construction.
These refugees are being sent away one after another, so why go to such trouble to build camps.
What can be done now is to let the military doctors diagnose and treat the sick people in the immigration camp first, and try to keep them alive as much as possible - at least until they leave here, and then their life and death will no longer be He Wenguang's responsibility.
As for those who died due to injuries, illnesses and other reasons in the immigration camp, Xiunian would organize manpower to move them out of the camp as soon as possible without He Wenguang personally coming forward. This was done firstly to avoid an epidemic in the immigration camp, and secondly.
This will make the refugees realize that they are under strict control.
After He Wenguang received the help of Yu Chengli, the problem of food shortage was finally alleviated. The hundreds of kilograms of seafood supplied to the immigration camp by Yin Changxing every day allowed the refugees to finally eat meat and fish, and no longer had to pin all their hopes on it.
Over the occasional meal of rice soup.
Xiu Nian and Yin Changxing, who worked for He Wenguang and Yu Chengli respectively, also had more opportunities to interact with each other. On the second day of the operation of this food supplement plan, the seafood that Yin Changxing delivered to the immigration camp every day was inspected by the logistics department.
, it is left to Xiunian to be responsible for the follow-up processing.
Of course, the so-called acceptance process is also very simple, just to see if the ingredients are fresh. As for the settlement, that is a matter between He Wenguang and Yu Chengli, and the following people in charge have no right to participate.
Today, Yu Chengli sent ten baskets of seafood. After Hai Hanbing saw it, Xiunian, who was standing next to him, directed the civilian husband to come forward to receive it: "First pick out the sea urchins, sea cucumbers, abalones, scallops, and shrimps and crabs. Choose each one."
For the big ones, put them in separate baskets and send them to the officers' mess."
On the first day of receiving the goods, He Wenguang gave such instructions once. Xiu Nian understood that these Haihan officers must be good at eating these seafood, so she secretly remembered it.
