Expedition to Europe

Chapter 538: Eating in an ugly way (make up for yesterday's...)

Unlike He Feizhou and Rommel, who were relaxed, Liu Zizheng, who had just arrived in Goryeo, was facing a crisis after arriving in Goryeo.

Lee Seung-man, who dreamed of returning to Goryeo, did not set foot on Goryeo soil in the end. On the way back to Goryeo, Lee Seung-man was assassinated by a Japanese-Korean and died in early November 1919.

After the news reached Goryeo, it immediately caused an uproar. Some Koreans exclaimed that Lee Seung-man died of Lan Fang's conspiracy, so they began to provoke the emotions of the Korean people and attempted to continue to use their way of resisting the Japanese to fight against the Lan Fang people.

In fact, no matter how Lee Seung-man died, those who were interested could use this incident to spread rumors and cause trouble. This has nothing to do with the facts, but only with their positions.

The process of Lan Fang's founding was indeed very inspiring, so the situation in Goryeo was a little worse than Qin Zhiyuan expected. Some people have officially raised the banner of rebellion and are preparing to form an army to use force to fight against Lan Fang's rule.

There was indeed an army. Liu Zizheng had evidence that at least about 10,000 weapons were in Goryeo, most of which were Japanese-made.

It is easy to imagine where these weapons came from.

Just after Liu Zizheng arrived in Goryeo, Jin Jiu was appointed as the deputy governor of the Goryeo Province, responsible for suppressing the riot.

Yes, it was a riot. The Goryeo government had already defined the radicals who had established an army to resist the rule of Lan Fang by force. They were rioters who attempted to overthrow.

Since they were rioters, they were enemies. They should be treated as ruthlessly as autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves. So Jin Jiu immediately made a strong statement that he would use the most cruel means to suppress the riot.

In fact, when the Goryeo people became ruthless, even the Goryeo people themselves were afraid. The Goryeo people really performed the cruelty of a small country with few people to the fullest, which really made the Lan Fang soldiers headed by Huang Li feel amazed.

Huang Li is now the commander of the First Division of Goryeo. The First Division of Goryeo is a force mainly composed of Goryeo people, responsible for the defense of the Goryeo region, and is considered the garrison of Goryeo.

According to Lan Fang's consistent policy, all military officers above the company level in the army are Chinese, but since the First Division of Goryeo is a new army, this organization is strengthened to the platoon level, that is to say, in the First Division of Goryeo, all officers, including the platoon leader and the sergeant major, are Chinese.

"Governor, you don't know that yesterday, those bastards took down Hamhung. As soon as they entered the city, they were all crazy. They killed anyone they saw and raped any woman they saw. They were like bandits. My people went up to say a few words, and they were scolded by Jin Jiu's men, saying that we didn't let them show their patriotic enthusiasm, so I fucked him. That's how those bastards showed their patriotic enthusiasm!" Huang Li didn't change at all, and still spoke a lot of foul language.

Since the "Tianjin Wharf Incident", Huang Li and Wu Qing have become the unwelcome jinxes of everyone. Both the Northern Xinjiang District and the Northern Expedition Corps named and pointed out that they did not want these two people, so they were exiled to Goryeo.

Before this, Huang Li and Wu Qing had been doing all kinds of dirty and tiring work. As long as they were scapegoats, thankless, and likely to be scolded, they were all done by Huang Li and Wu Qing.

Fortunately, Qin Zhiyuan did not forget Huang Li and Wu Qing. After coming to Goryeo, Huang Li and Wu Qing finally changed their stars and were promoted to major generals.

"Why do you care about this? Let them kill if they want to kill, just don't kill them all. If all 20 million people join the Lan Fang nationality, aren't you afraid?" Liu Zizheng had bad intentions.

At present, Goryeo is gradually carrying out household registration. So far, Goryeo people who can speak Chinese and write Chinese characters are gradually being registered. More than 100,000 people have been registered, and they will gradually move to the Northern Xinjiang District after the New Year.

However, due to the low efficiency of the Goryeo government, the progress of this work is not fast.

It can be predicted that it will be good if this work can be completed within one or two years.

"Hehe, Governor, don't worry. I will not care about them unless my brain is broken. Kill them as much as you want. Let them do whatever they want. Even if they cannot be killed, they will join our Lan Fang nationality. What's wrong with 20 million? There are not even half as many people as us in Sichuan. If we really talk about population, who can we Chinese fear!" Huang Li's words are rough but true.

If others talk about killing, they may not have enough confidence, but for Huang Li, it is a drizzle.

Huang Li and his friends used to do this kind of dirty and tiring work professionally. Watching the Goryeo people kill their own people, Huang Li really has no psychological barriers at all.

"How is Busan? The progress of the project has not been affected." Liu Zizheng's eyes cannot only be on Hamhung. Busan is also the focus of Liu Zizheng's attention.

At present, the resistance forces in Goryeo are concentrated in the northeastern coastal area, that is, with Wonsan Port as the center, from Hamhung to the estuary of the Tumen River. The security forces led by Jin Jiu were responsible for suppressing the rioters, which were different from the Goryeo First Division, which was already in the regular army combat sequence.

Building Busan Port was Liu Zizheng's second major task in Goryeo. The first major task was targeted immigration.

"Old Wu is watching Busan. There are 200,000 or 300,000 people. As long as they are well fed, there will be no chaos. The progress should be similar. After all, there are enough people, much more than scheduled." Huang Li has confidence in his old friend.

Again, the 1920s was not the 21st century, and the supplies were far from being rich enough to have enough food and drink. Wu Qing put up a sign in Busan to recruit workers. Just a promise of having enough food attracted countless Koreans. For a time, Busan Port was overcrowded, and the number of workers there even exceeded the needs of the project.

It is winter now, not the busy farming season. For ordinary Koreans, it is still very tempting to have a place to eat every day.

For a place as small as Goryeo, the land is extremely limited and the output is not very good. The hunger situation in Goryeo is even more serious than that in the Republic of China. It is precisely because of the lack of food that the Koreans invented various kimchi to replace fresh vegetables and meet the needs of the body.

However, if you only eat kimchi, the probability of tumors growing in the body is about the same as the probability of growing meat, so the average life expectancy of Koreans is surprisingly low, even lower than that of the Republic of China.

Under this premise, the recruitment of workers in Busan Port is extremely important.

In order to increase the temptation, Busan Port offered the condition of three meals of rice a day, plus at least one meat and two vegetables. In Goryeo, only the landlords could eat this way during festivals. If it was daily life, even the landlords would not be willing to do so.

There is no way. The most common food in Lanfang now is rice, plus various fish and canned fruits. This is the basic configuration on the table of the people of Lanfang. Compared with Goryeo, it is obviously a world of difference.

In November, when the entire northern hemisphere was in the cold, Lanfang had already started the third harvest of the year. The average per mu yield was still surprisingly high. Because of the increase in the reclaimed area, the overall output has increased compared with the previous mid-year. Now the food in Lanfang can be described as abundant. Even those Chinese who "love food as life" have begun to have to sell food to make room for new food.

According to the traditional experience of Chinese farmers, food must not be sold unless it is absolutely necessary. Even if it is usually reluctant to eat, it is enough to deal with one meal. Food must be kept to save lives.

But in Lan Fang, those traditional experiences are obviously not very reliable. Although it is only one year, the people of Lan Fang can be sure that there will be three harvest periods in Lan Fang's land every year, and the Lan Fang government does not charge any taxes for each harvest of grain. This has changed the attitude of the people of Lan Fang towards grain from ecstasy to indifference, and now they are beginning to worry a little.

It's really worrying. Now in Lan Fang, even the laziest guys have stored tens of thousands of kilograms of rice at home. So much grain, even if it is just taken out and dried every few days, is already a huge workload. What's more terrifying is that the grain will accumulate steadily at this rate in the future, and so much grain will be stored every year.

Every year...

By that time, I'm afraid the grain in the granary has not been dried yet, and it's time to start harvesting new grain.

What a happy trouble.

Of course, this kind of happy trouble is only available to the farmers of Lan Fang. For the people of the Republic of China and Goryeo, it is simply a fantasy.

Well, for this kind of thing, those who believe will naturally believe, and then they will follow Lan Fang wholeheartedly. Those who don't believe will not believe anything you say. For those people, accepting some new things is like a flood and a beast, so let them continue to struggle in hardship.

"The location of Busan Port is very important. It is the port closest to Japan. At the same time, the hydrological conditions are also good. Whether it is our battleships or aircraft carriers, they can be moored in Busan Port. Your Majesty attaches great importance to Busan Port, so for Busan Port, it must be built at all costs, and no mistakes can be made." Liu Zizheng gave a death order, which was also what Qin Zhiyuan said to Liu Zizheng before Liu Zizheng boarded the ship.

"Hiss..." Huang Li suddenly took a breath, and then his two little eyeballs rolled around.

"What's going on?" Liu Zizheng keenly discovered something wrong.

"No, it's okay. Old Wu and I set up a labor service company to send workers from Busan Port to Cam Ranh Bay and Vladivostok. Half of the money we get will be donated to the Veterans Association. If we get too many people here, will it affect Busan Port..." Huang Li was worried.

"F**king immortal, you dare to make any money. You sell all the workers like pigs. Who will come to build Busan Port?" Liu Zizheng cursed anxiously.

The trafficking of labor has existed since ancient times, and the "labor service company" is a new thing that has just appeared in Coconut City. It is to mobilize manpower more effectively and serve the infrastructure construction in Lanfang.

"No, no, don't worry, Governor. There are about 200,000 to 300,000 people in Busan at present, which is definitely enough to build Busan Port, but there are more than so many workers who have signed up. According to Old Wu, there are now more than 500,000 people. Since we can't use up so many people, we must find a way for them to work." Huang Li is quite reasonable.

If you think about it carefully, it is indeed the case. Goryeo is such a small place, but now there are more than 20 million people. The population density can be imagined. If it only takes tens of thousands of people to build Busan Port, there is no need to recruit workers from other places. Busan can solve the problem completely.

"Hahaha, that's good. If there is a problem, I will trouble you... Well, count me in as part of your labor company, count me in as part..." Liu Zizheng's eating manners were not very good.
