Chapter 355: Shelling of Jinzhou Wei 8

Say what should be said, don't say what shouldn't be said. Ask what should be asked, don't ask what shouldn't be asked. Modern people often use this as an important criterion to measure a person's quality. But in the era of the last years of the Ming Dynasty, the house slave of an ordinary large family knew it very clearly, and the implementation was very thorough.

Zhao Jiafu was a domestic slave of a sea merchant in Nanzhili. His family has lived in this sea merchant surnamed Zhao for several generations, and the whole family is a domestic slave of this sea merchant.

The trade behavior of the maritime merchants in the Jiangnan region was mainly directed towards Japan and the South Seas. However, because North Korea also has some special products such as mink ginseng, although there are not many people who take the northern route to do business with North Korea, there are still some people.

The main business of the Zhao family in Nanzhili is also aimed at the Nanyang region. Since the industrial products of the Baath Party entered the Jiangnan market in large quantities, the industrial products of the Baath Party have also become an important trade content of the Zhao family. In the eyes of these big landlords and businessmen in Jiangnan, the Baath Party did not exist, and only the commercial organization of the Fuxing Trading Company existed. They believed that the Fuxing Trading Company was the industry run by Wang Shuhui, the son-in-law of the county king, who was quite influential in the Jingzhou area.

Because most of the landlords and gentry in the Jiangnan area knew that the relationship between the Zhijiang royal palace and the big eunuchs in the north and south of Beijing was very warm, even though the dumping of industrial products of the Baath Party caused them certain damage to their interests, they still adopted an attitude of prevention and cooperation with the Baath Party.

Unlike those big landowners and businessmen in Jiangnan with complex backgrounds, the Zhao family belongs to the type that has a large business but a relatively weak background. The Zhao family has always been tied to the eunuch in Nanjing, and through the relationship between this eunuch, the business cooperation between the Zhao family and the Baath Party has always been relatively close.

It is precisely for this reason that when he learned that the Nanjing office of the Baath Party was recruiting Korean translators, the second-room master of the Zhao family, who was in charge of trade in North Korea, took the initiative to find the person in charge of the Nanjing office of the Baath Party and gave several of his domestic slaves who knew Korean to the Baath Party.

In this way, the Zhao family's family slaves, Zhao Jiafu's family, became the people under the rule of the Baath Party. After arriving under the Baath Party, Zhao Jiafu's wife was arranged to work in logistics at the Naval School of the Baath Army. Zhao Jiafu's son and daughter entered the Cadet Army to receive education. And Zhao Jiafu himself became an ordinary staff member of the Baath Party's Commerce Bureau because of his specialty in Korean.

Although he has lived under the rule of the Baath Party for more than half a year, and even Zhao Jiafu, who can write and calculate, has passed the literacy test and the primary school academic ability test to obtain a primary school diploma, Zhao Jiafu still does not know much about what is going on with the Baath Party.

Privately accumulating force and controlling the locality. This kind of thing, as a domestic slave of a merchant in the south of the Yangtze River, Zhao Jiafu has actually seen a lot, and he will make a fuss about what the Baath Party has done because of this. So at first, he thought that the Baath Party should be the force run by Wang Shuhui, the son-in-law of the county king.

But the more he learned about the Ba'ath Party, the more he became more and more confused about it. It can be said that the Baath Party is a powerful landlord, and the Baath Party has indeed acquired a lot of land through illegal means such as "burning, killing and looting" such as "stealing and looting." However, the Baath Party is 10,000 times better than the government and those real powerful people. Even he, a domestic slave of a large family, as a useful person with specialized skills in Korean translation, his treatment in the Zhao family was not as good as that of the common people under the rule of the Baath Party.

However, the perennial slave life and the slave status of several generations let Zhao Jiafu know what to worry about and what not to worry about.

Zhao Jiafu believes very professionally that as a staff member of a small business bureau, as long as he is worthy of the salary paid to him by the bureau, it is enough. As for whether the Ba'ath Party is good or bad, whether the Ba'ath Party will rebel or how, that is not his concern.

North Korean routes, Zhao Jiafu has made more than ten trips in the past. But it was the first time he went to Jeju Island. The Baath Party's translation work was not very good. That's because when communicating with the North Korean side, Zhao Jiafu couldn't find any corresponding translation for many Baath Party languages.

Under such circumstances, Zhao Jiafu translated the language of the Baath Party's liaison officers in accordance with his past habits.

It's not that Jin Deshun can't understand the dialect of the Celestial Empire, his Chinese level is actually very high. In fact, not only did he become proficient in the use of Chinese characters to sing poems, but he also mastered the fluent fèng yang official dialect. It's just that there is too much difference between the Baath Party liaison's Mandarin accent and the official dialect of Fèng, so when he communicates with the Baath Party liaison who is wearing the official uniform of the Celestial Empire, he can only communicate through Zhao Jiafu.

Hearing that the merchants of the Celestial Empire were going to hire people on Jeju Island, Kim Deok-soon immediately said that there was no problem in this regard. And in order to show his admiration and respect for the Celestial Empire, Jin Deshun waved his pen and allocated 3,000 exiles to the Revival Army for free use.

The Baath Party's liaison has a very good opinion of Kim Deok-soon. After all, unlike the Ming Dynasty officials who were also die-hard in concentration camps, the North Korean bureaucrat responded to the demands of the Baath Party. Now that I heard that Jin Deshun was willing to provide 3,000 manpower to the base for free use, this young man who was only 25 years old sincerely expressed his gratitude to Jin Deshun.

What he didn't know was that for Kim Deok-soon, the exiles on Jeju Island had never been something useful to him. Jeju Island has limited arable land, but the small country of Korea is a place with shallow water and many temples, and the long-term partisan struggle and political struggle have accumulated a large number of exiles who have failed in political struggles on the small border island of Jeju Island.

On Jeju Island, there aren't really that many things for these people to do. The concentration of tens of thousands of exiles in Jeju City, and the consumption of a large amount of food and supplies that needed to be shipped from Jeju Island, was actually a burden for Kim Deok Soon, the supreme governor of Jeju Island.

It is true that Kim Deshun gave these 3,000 people to the revival army for free use, but Kim Deshun is not prepared to provide food for these 3,000 people. For him, being able to save the rations of 3,000 people is definitely a good opportunity to fill his pocket. As for whether the Baath Party can afford the food of these 3,000 people, it is not a matter for him to be Kim Deshun.

Will the Baath Party be able to afford the extra food for three thousand people? The answer is clear. No problem at all.

Compared with other materials, there is no shortage of food and clothing at the base. These things don't take up space, and a wooden container can hold a lot of things.

Especially food. The Baath Food Factory produced compressed military rations and canned luncheon meat in the annual quantity of 5,000 men. As a matter of fact, because it only takes about a week for the Baath Party's ships to sail from Wuchang to Jeju Island via the Yangtze River, the 2,500 Navy and Army soldiers and 2,000 production and construction troops on Jeju Island will not be able to use up so much food and supplies.

Therefore, it is very cost-effective to hire local laborers on Jeju Island to build a base with grain
