"Is this guy reliable?" Zhao Minggui asked
"It's okay. I took the money, so I'm not afraid of him turning the world upside down." Huang Yunyu took a sip of wine, "I think he is very greedy and very lustful..."
"Lustful? Then why don't you stay overnight?"
"This is the first time I have to deal with hot money, and I feel very upset. I can't sleep at all at night. Do you still expect to be able to get hard and fuck a woman?" Huang Yunyu smiled. Don't look at the fact that he was just a humble white man before he became an official slave. But he looked down upon the middlemen, yangban, and scholar-bureaucrats - he had seen too many of the ugly behavior of these "noble people" in front of money.
There is a saying in a big country: Money can make the world go round, let alone a few "noble people".
The three of them laughed together
Cui Xuanze asked: "It's easy for me to talk about things, but how will I transport them out at that time? Jeju Pier and Chaocheonpo are both in the hands of Wokun. No ships are allowed to go to sea, and there are no big ships in each town."
The nine towns on the island have now been disintegrated. Because the supply of military supplies has been cut off, most of the officers and soldiers of the nine towns have been defeated. Most of them have been absorbed by the Japanese. Some officers and soldiers have taken refuge with Mr. Jin.
"It doesn't matter." Huang Yunyu took a chopstick of abalone, "Master Jin from Hufang told me that Japan is going to open the port, and all ships will be registered, and then some kind of 'permit' will be issued - it's probably something like a command arrow token." It is said that if things are traded overseas with a license, a large warehouse and trading company will be set up here."
Cui Xuanze sighed: "This group of Japanese pirates is really different."
Huang Yunyu snorted coldly: "Do you think they are really Japanese pirates?"
"What I said is indeed not very similar - they don't speak Japanese, but they don't look like they come from a big country."
"They speak Chinese - even if they are weird, they can also write Chinese characters."
A few people were silent for a while. The origin of the Japanese Kun was always a mystery like the ships, weapons and many strange things they brought, and they couldn't figure out the answer even if they tried their best.
"Who are they? We don't have to worry about the license or anything like that. It will be implemented by Park Dehuan when the time comes - he helped us once, can he not help us a second time?" Huang Yunyu said with a smile.
Cui Xuanze quickly patted his horse and said, "Best regards, sir."
Zhao Minggui, who had been silent all this time, now spoke up: "Can you handle what I discussed with you last time?"
"This matter cannot be rushed." Huang Yunyu immediately changed his face and forced out a flattering smile, "The thief Kun pays close attention to the weapons..."
"There are so many weapons in the arsenal, and Japanese Kun can't get enough of them without using them a lot? Is the military officer still the same as before?"
"The trouble lies here. The military officer ran away when the Japanese invaded the city. I don't know where he is now. Now there is an official slave promoted by the Japanese in charge."
"Oh? What's your name? Where are you from?" Zhao Minggui came to Jeju City this time to carry out the master's entrustment. Firstly, he wanted to investigate the situation of Jeju City and explore the actions and intentions of the Japanese kings in the local area. Secondly, he wanted to connect with the old relationships in the city. Seize the property left by the Li Dynasty to the maximum extent
"Mr. Zhao, you should have met him. This person's name is Jin Yongzhu -" Seeing Zhao Minggui's expression of confusion, he added, "It's Jin Wushun's father..."
"It's him," Zhao Minggui suddenly realized, "Is Jin Wushun his daughter?"
Kim Oh-soon was notoriously ugly among the young unmarried maids in the prison camp in Jeju. Everyone who met him had an impression of him. However, Kim Oh-soon was smart and studious. He often learned good cooking skills from a former palace official who was exiled to Jeju. The skilled cooks from the prison camp were called in to help with the cooking.
Kim Yong-joo was born as a hunter. He sneaked into the king's paddock to hunt. After he was caught, his crime was reduced and he was exiled to Jeju Island. He has good martial arts. In Jeju, he also made a living by hunting and handed over wild animals to the prison camp.
"Bai Ding, who doesn't know how to read, is also a scribe?" Zhao Minggui said, "I think this Jin Yongzhu looks like a fool. Is it difficult to handle him?"
"He's just an ignorant white guy. He can't even explain what he's talking about. Let's talk about what kind of secretary Pu Dehuan's younger brother Pu Demeng gave him as his deputy."
"I didn't expect this matter to be related to Park Dehuan," Zhao Minggui said meaningfully, "Do you have enough capital?"
“If it’s not enough, add more slowly—”
Pu Dehuan almost "floated" to the house. His younger brother Pu Demeng had already gone to bed. He checked the yard and whether the door was securely inserted before returning to his bedroom and lighting a small oil lamp. Very young, I took out the two silk scarf bags in my arms.
In the first silk scarf bag, there was a small ingot of ten taels of silver. Park Dehuan was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth: This is a lot of money. Because the economy is small, silver is not widely circulated in the Li Dynasty. It’s also much taller than Daming
When Wanli came to aid Korea, the reward given to him by Ma Gui from Li Chao for recovering Pyongyang was only fifty taels. The first soldier who climbed the Pyongyang city wall received only ten taels of silver from Li Chao.
Ten taels of silver, even in the Ming Dynasty, was not a small amount - in an ordinary year, it was enough to cover the expenses of a middle-class family for a year. In North Korea, it was extraordinary.
Pu Dehuan's hands were shaking: Mr. Cui was so generous, he never expected that the business group he served was so rich.
I opened the second one again. Although it was smaller, it still contained two taels of silver.
Twelve taels of silver on Jeju Island is a huge sum of money. For a former official slave like Park Deok-hwan who has just "escaped poverty", this windfall is simply unimaginable.
However, he was really worried - Park Dehuan was not stupid. The amount of bribe was directly proportional to the risk of the matter. The other party was willing to pay such a large amount of "benefits". It seemed that the number involved in the bow and arrow was not a small amount.
If the chiefs found out, his heart trembled, as if telling him: the chiefs had promoted him and put him in an important position, and doing so would be tantamount to betrayal...
Pu Dehuan's face changed from time to time under the weak light, like a ghost for a long time. He wrapped the money, thought about it, divided it into two packages with the original silk scarf, and wrapped it in rags. Stuff it into the hole of the unused fire bed
The work of taking stock of bows and arrows and registering bow and arrow shops soon began. Not long after, Pu Dehuan submitted a very detailed report. Feng Zongze was very satisfied after reading it and ordered all bow and arrow workshops to resume work on the same day.
Feng Zongze originally planned to change the bow and arrow workshop that was originally a prison camp into a state-owned one, but after repeated consideration, he felt that this would put a huge burden on the Military Control Commission: once it became state-owned, he would have to appoint managers himself and his naturalized civilians. They have no experience in managing such enterprises, which will inevitably cause a lot of waste and chaos. Moreover, the craftsmen and former official slaves working in the workshops will immediately become "financial support personnel", which is unnecessary and a waste of resources.
So in the end, he decided to outsource the bow and arrow workshops under the supervision camp, and let the local bow and arrow shops contract the production. The Military Control Commission would place orders. The bows and arrows produced by each shop would be purchased by the Military Control Commission after they passed the inspection. As for the raw materials, the bow and arrow shops would do it themselves. Solve the problem in the market, and the Military Control Commission will sell part of the seized raw materials on the market as appropriate.
This avoids involving too much management energy at the beginning, as long as the harvest is good. After all, their main purpose in Jeju Island is to transfer refugees, not to carry out socialist transformation.
In order to improve the quality, Feng Zongze sent samples of bow-making materials and several finished products from the island back to Lingao on a transport ship. He asked technicians to improve the design and material ratio to create cheap and easy-to-use bows and arrows. If possible, even the production process Of course, we should also improve it, and by the way, let the industrial department see if these bow and arrow making materials contain the raw materials needed in the Lingao industrial system.
The contracting work of the bow and arrow workshop was outsourced to the largest local bow and arrow shop "Mingdy Village" under Pu Dehuan's recommendation, which is actually Mr. Jin's bow and arrow shop.
In this way, the business of bows and arrows, from raw materials to finished products, fell into the hands of Kim Wan-il. Park Deok-hwan once again received a "thank you gift"
This time he was very relaxed in the brothel. After eating and drinking, he happily followed Zhao Aiyin for a while, and the next day he unceremoniously had sex with Li Wanji.
Huang Yunyu flattered Pu Dehuan. Not only did he pay all the expenses in the brothel, but he also introduced a house to sell him - Pu Dehuan spent a very small amount of money. Although the seller was not Huang Yunyu, everyone knew it well. It has been decorated with various daily necessities from the local area that are difficult to buy locally - some of them were trafficked from the Ming Dynasty.
In order to show off, they hired a few more servants. Pu Dehuan was a young master, and he suddenly appeared to be quite well-connected.
On the day of the move, many people sent congratulatory gifts. Zhao Minggui also specially sent a whole leg of beef, which was usually only enjoyed by officials and wealthy households. The only thing that made Pu Dehuan regretful was that the "chiefs" didn't say anything. But the chiefs have always been like this. , He didn't show any disdain to all the local "officials" under his command, and never paid attention to their private affairs, so he was not uneasy about it.
At the banquet to celebrate the housewarming, Pu Dehuan got so drunk that he lost his temper and started crying in public. It was rare to be proud in his life - not to mention that he had fallen to the bottom and been frustrated for more than ten years. The whole business is just around the corner
While Pu Dehuan was crying and laughing while drinking, a group of ships slowly sailed into Chaocheonpo
Among all the ports on Jeju Island at that time, Chaocheonpo had the best conditions. Therefore, ships traveling to and from North Korea basically imported and exported here. In addition to stationing troops, there were also post offices and small markets. resembling a small port town
After Jeju Island’s D-Day, it naturally became the main port controlled by the Jeju Island Front Committee (to be continued) rq
