Chapter 1872: Dinghai Harbor Experience
There are no permanent enemies, only eternal interests. Even if there were perennial territorial disputes between the Ming and Haihan, this did not prevent local officials from benefiting from their dealings with Haihan. Moreover, since last year, the two countries have reached a new agreement on diplomatic relations, which will jointly put aside disputes over certain areas whose ownership is unclear to avoid an armed conflict between the two countries. Of course, there is actually another reason that is kept secret, that is, the Ming Dynasty needs to obtain the support of Haihan on the northern front to resist the offensive of the Qing State.
But in the eyes of local officials in the coastal capitals, the court's compromise was more of a compulsion. Because of the clearly visible disparity in the armed forces of the two countries, it is unlikely that the Ming will regain de facto control of these areas through war. And the benefits of this cross-border trade are so great that many officials abandon their so-called principles.
After the normalization of diplomatic relations between the two countries, local officials in Zhejiang finally understood why the powerful officials in the south of Fuguang and Fuguang pretended to be deaf and dumb about what Haihan was doing all the year round, because as long as they did nothing and didn't care about anything, a large amount of money would automatically pour into their pockets. Being a mud bodhisattva can have a lot of incense money, and can also keep the peace of the area under his rule, so who would want to risk his life to fight with Haihan to break the net?
What's more, those who bravely tried to challenge Haihan had not heard of anyone causing real trouble to Haihan. The people who used to make a lot of trouble later disappeared from the officialdom silently. While others who chose to compromise soon found that their lives were getting more and more nourishing, and the benefits that Haihan could give were even beyond their imagination.
Today, officials in Jiangsu and Zhejiang no longer regard Haihan as a flood beast, but as a fat God of Wealth. As for Haihan's small moves in the Zhoushan Islands and certain coastal prefectures and counties, as long as the money is in place, everything can be discussed.
At first, it was only businessmen, monks, and traveling literati who came to Zhoushan in the name of people-to-people exchanges, and only after confirming that the local government would not interfere in the exchanges between North Korea and Haihan, did North Korean officials gradually enter the Dinghai Port of Zhoushan, which was run by Haihan. Of course, these people do not claim to work for the North Korean government, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble, but in fact, the North Korean embassy in Zhoushan Port is a semi-official embassy organization, and officials like Kim Sang-gyu handle all kinds of diplomatic affairs with Haihan and Daming in the embassy.
