By the end of November, all preparations had been basically completed. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The rulers of the old age and the de facto controllers of societies that have always won have no experience in dealing with such organized and purposeful revolts, because they have been extremely slow to respond to this turmoil.

The workers' associations at the various mines secretly train the full members of the employees' associations, and there are also those who are hidden in them who report secretly, but they do not know exactly what they are going to do.

Hu Lin's proposal will not be finally answered until the year-end deliberations in early December, and this time lag provides ample time for public opinion preparation.

After more than a month of uninterrupted public opinion propaganda, the people of Mincheng generally expressed sympathy for the fate of the miners, and also agreed with some of the ideas put forward in it, such as the simplest people-oriented, human rights equality and other things.

With courtesy and courtesy, the ink-colored elements in this public opinion war in Fujian City completely had the upper hand.

Chen Jian used all his prestige and power to suppress the radical factions within him, and he did not mention any political reform in public opinion propaganda, only simple economic reform.

This was an extremely dangerous time, and among the thirteen-member committee, Chen Jian, including Chen Jian, only got seven votes.

Because of the smooth organizational process on the miners' side, some people have a lot of confidence, thinking that they should make the movement bigger and strive for the interests of more people, not just the miners and the dock workers who are half of the basic plates, Chen Jian, who was so frightened that he got the news, ran back to Mincheng from Nan'an overnight.

When the turmoil was already brewing and was about to erupt, the members of the committee suspended all activities and held a secret meeting for three days, and Chen Jian won by a narrow margin.

This victory made Chen Jian see the danger, and once the struggle was initially won, a split within the Mexican Party was inevitable, and it would be divided into at least three factions.

He is ready for a split in the party, and excluding his fame and financial backing, his faction may be in the minority.

Unity is no longer possible, this is the first time that the party has done something, but it may also be the last time that the Mexican party will do things in unity.

The road is long and closely related to the development of handicrafts and large factories, and no one can jump out of the times.

Generally speaking, it was the beginning of utopia at the time of the great development of the handicraft industry, and it was the same in the East and the West, plus here, public ownership, everyone labored, and equal distribution, but I didn't say how to do it, and only used various books to describe this impossible world. Utopia, Sun City, Juzhuang, Clan Society, Dream City, and the previous Northern City Uprising all fall into this category.

As the handicraft industry continued to develop and small handicraft factories were established, new utopian fantasies began to emerge. Asceticism, the saintly mentality, absolute egalitarianism, and selfless devotion are the mainstreams of the second step. This is based on the fact that the transition of handicrafts to the factory system, the abject poverty of the countryside, etc., and the economic basis determines that the wonderful world that most people fantasize about is this, and in fact this is the second step.

After that, there were all kinds of reforms, utopias, welfare, collective systems, social security, cooperative systems, and so on, and various schools of thought began to emerge, which was the mainstream after the first three hundred years.

The fourth step after that is the right path, and each of these four steps is a hundred years away from normal history, and sometimes I think I can skip it directly, but in fact I can't jump a single step. It's just that the time difference and the difference in productivity around the world have created a strange situation.

There are all kinds of things inside, and division is inevitable, and today's fellow travelers will inevitably have to fight each other in the future.

The mistake of reformism is that it regards the partial and minor improvements in the living conditions of the lower classes as the fundamental means by which the hired workers can be emancipated. Reform can improve the living conditions and rights of the working people within certain limits, but this improvement is premised on not endangering the rule, and the bourgeoisie can only make small "concessions" to the proletariat in order to safeguard its own fundamental interests, and the bourgeoisie will inevitably suppress it once the struggle of the proletariat for its own interests goes beyond the scope of the bourgeoisie allows.

But this mistake is now a kind of correctness, a historical correctness of the limitations of the times, because there is no ability to fundamentally change all this, but only to be bourgeois advocates and whitewashed moral reforms, in order to gain their support and form with them some kind of alliance that does not involve or touch on basic interests.

Chen Jian insisted on this, and if he became a member of the National People's Assembly when necessary, he would not mind voting for repression when the machine smashing movement took place, and depriving them of what little means of production they had, either to go to the factories or to the colonies to survive.

Sooner or later, what happens to these people is nothing more than the difference between being cooked slowly for decades or being fried quickly within a few years.

He was ready to be poked in the back and even scolded by his friends today, and the day he voted for the crackdown was the day of a complete split of the Mexican Party, and this crackdown was not far off with the study of new handicrafts and hydro-powered machines.

The advantage of Mincheng is that the nearby garrison is not an elite army of wealthy yeoman farmers, but an ordinary army mainly composed of citizens and homeless, and the army, which is never soft when suppressed, is the absolute basic plate of the old era, but the townspeople and homeless people can win support.

Similarly, the handicraft industry and commerce in Mincheng are developed, and in addition to the handicraft workshops and large guilds, a large part of the handicraft industry is a contract system in which the guilds are about to disintegrate.

Merchants provided silk, cotton, cotton yarn and the like to some small cottage industries, which made products and recycled them. The small cottage industry was oppressed by both guilds and contractors, and some taxes were secretly passed on to them.

This kind of contracting system has a great foundation in Mincheng, so internal disagreements also appear here.

As the miners' organization perfected, and Chen Jian's analysis of interests and bottom-line acceptance instilled confidence in them that they could succeed this time, the radicals and adventurists put forward new demands.

They thought it would be possible to take advantage of this spring breeze of the miners' struggle for profit, by the way, to dissolve the guilds, to demand higher wages for cottage industries with contractors, and even to propose the establishment of a second county council, that is, a commoners' council, in order to fight for political rights.

It was this kind of thinking that frightened Chen Jian to give up dealing with the purchase of cotton in Nan'an, the completion of the canal, and the secret negotiation with the mine owner, and went to Mincheng non-stop for a three-day meeting.

When Jian Chen heard the news at that time, he was really scared half to death, once it happened, it would definitely be ruthlessly suppressed, and even if he didn't die, he would be arrested. Of course, with his current status and reputation, he might be qualified to enter the highest-level prison in the capital, and he would not be killed, but this was not what he wanted. It's impossible to escape, he has his own bottom line, he signed his name on it, and if something happens, he will be martyred.

It's not that what they ask for is wrong, it's that the conditions are not ripe at all, the idea of the Second Council of the Commons is okay, in the future industry and commerce and organization will be more developed, the coastal areas will be greatly developed, and the inland areas will be reduced to raw material suppliers, and it will be okay to innovate and conservatize the old ways to fight a civil war along the coast and internally.

The bourgeois transformation, which has not fought a civil war, has no potential to become a great power, and will only become a parasitic half-dead corpse of the old society. Ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, no exception.

But now it depends on one county, and that is death.

Even if Jian Chen's prestige was okay, he was hoarse when he reasoned with the facts, and after three days, the slight advantage of one vote suppressed the thoughts of the remaining people.

Those who oppose Jian Chen are respectable, they are not for themselves, but really for human rights, freedom, fraternity, equality and a better life for more people.

They agree with Chen Jian's statement that once the requirements are expanded, they will inevitably fail. But they have a bit of the momentum of forging swords with blood to change the law, and feel that even if they fail, they will let the ruler know that this is already very unfair and needs to be changed, otherwise the resentment at the bottom will happen sooner or later.

It is true, as they say, nothing can be done without bloodshed. From Cromwell to the Civil War, from Dutch independence to the French Revolution, it took bloodshed to change, otherwise it would never have been possible.

What these people are doing today is really just a bourgeois revolution, just like the mainstream world will do in the near future, but in a different environment.

Sooner or later, it will have to be done, but not now.

After winning by a narrow margin, according to the agreement on the establishment of the party, once an opinion was reached and a vote was made, it could only be resolutely implemented, and those opponents suppressed their own opinions, but some dissatisfaction and doubts had already arisen in their hearts.

Including a few people who support Chen Jian, it is inevitable that they have some opinions about Chen Jian in their hearts, and this time Chen Jian can be regarded as using all the prestige he has accumulated before.

Because the probability of winning the petition this time is high, and the higher the probability, the faster Jian Chen's prestige will fall, even if the overall deployment this time is proposed by him.

Once they win, these people will think that if they are more radical as they say, they may be able to succeed, but on the contrary, failure will make Chen Jian's prestige rise quickly, but Chen Jian really can't bear to use these people's deaths to prove himself right, which makes the problem very strange.

If you win, your prestige will fall, and if you want to split, three points and four points are possible.

Defeated, prestige rises, unites survivors, increases cohesion.

Chen Jian can only choose to win and split, and does not want to and dare not choose defeat and cohesion.

In order to prevent the occurrence of an uncontrollable situation, Chen Jian carefully checked the expenditure of party property and the storage of weapons, and it was not until the last few days of November that he was relieved that everyone still complied with the decision made in those three days not to expand the gaffe.

After his heart was pounding, Jian Chen's heart also let go, stayed in Mincheng, and agreed on the final result.

On the second day of December, tomorrow is the day of the year-end meeting, and Jian Chen has waited for all the news he wants.

The fast boats returning from the mouth of the Great River and the boats returning from the upper reaches of the Min River told him that the grain was already on its way.

The miners have also organized a safety inspection committee and a flogging prohibition committee of the employees' association, as the petition has been granted, and are ready to intervene in the management of the mine at any time.

The hooligan leader personally came to visit Chen Jian and drank tea with Chen Jian for a long time.

Cotton speculators officially gave up competition with Chen Jian's lint acquisition and released cruel words to make Chen Jian look good. Sent people to burn the cotton warehouse, but the guards found that there was a conflict between the two sides, and the magistrate of Nan'an County intervened to stand on Chen Jian's side.

The completion of the canal is imminent, and Nan'an County will go to the completion ceremony in five days, and take out some money from the county income to buy a small part of the equity of the canal, as part of the political investment to prove the vision, and will then banquet the various mine owners in Nan'an, write a proposal to the private road and dig the river.

……

All preparations are in place, just waiting for tomorrow, the third day of December, the council will reject the petition.
