Chapter 143: The Bottom Line
This mine owner is obviously erudite and talented, at least he has read the articles published by the school palace on the discussion of combustion conditions, and he is really a talent, and he has mastered advanced science and technology to avoid losses, and can be called a model for mine owners.

When Jian Chen rushed into the venue, dozens of people had grim faces and had already begun to discuss.
After quietly finding a seat and sitting down, I listened to a person speaking.
"I don't agree with the comrade just now. If we force the mine owners and workshop owners to adopt the 12-hour work day and improve the workers' compensation regulations in Mincheng, as Chen Jian's workshop did, then we will not say whether the mine owners oppose it or not. ”
"I want to ask everyone, who will come to Mincheng to build a workshop and open a mine in the future? Other counties all work 14 to 15 hours, but we have 12 hours and people have to pay money when they die, so these people will definitely not come. ”
"If they don't come, what will these hired men eat? Drink the wind? The mine owners and money have gone to other counties, how can this develop the productivity that Chen Jian said? ”
"I think this matter should be resolved through a compromise, and we should give more voice to the current council, listen to our opinions, and promote the law throughout the country to improve the environment, instead of coercing the mine owners and workshop owners by the power of hired workers. There are no mine owners, workshop owners, and the hired workers will starve to death. ”
"We should put our hopes in a legitimate petition. Instead of giving them some color as the comrade just said, or even sending someone to assassinate and retaliate, which is against the law. ”
As soon as the words fell, someone stood up and shouted, "What are you talking about?" According to you, you can't pursue these things unless they are promoted throughout the country? If there really are other races in the world in the future, according to you, if other races have a fifteen-hour workday, we will have to work sixteen hours? Or else everyone will starve to death? Besides, it's not illegal to suffocate twenty-seven people? ”
Hu Lin sighed and got up and said, "It's really not illegal." It was an accident, and according to the jurisprudence, it was like someone was killed with a knife, and you can't blame the person who sold the knife. He insisted that the fire was so big at that time that he thought that the people inside were dead, so it was just an accident. The law doesn't punish the heart. ”
He had studied judicial precedents, and since he had said so, everyone knew that it was certainly not illegal.
Hu Lin also looked helpless, the number of these people present now has increased a lot after the development of the past two years, but all kinds of strange ideas have also begun to appear, and there is no unified consciousness that everyone can accept.
People can still unite when it comes to doing something good, doing good, doing good, but when new problems arise, differences between people begin to arise.
There are those who advocate the supremacy of state rights to reconcile contradictions, those who advocate violent conspiracy and confrontation, those who advocate the use of chivalrous ways to counter violence with violence, those who advocate compromise and hope that the mine owners will show kindness, and those who hope that the whole country will petition for reunification......
This is the first time that a party has encountered such a thing since its establishment, and it is really confused, and there is still no unity of opinion within the party.
"So what's the end of it? Did you make the mine owner lose some money? What about the comrade we sacrificed? ”
"There is no evidence. You and I know that it was the people hired by the mine owner, but do you have any proof? ”
"Evidence of bullshit, if you want me to say it, let me blow up his family with explosives."
"It's rebellion! Going to be shot! ”
"Afraid of a ball? There is already chaos over there, and the miners' gunmen are threatening the miners everywhere, so when will you not stand up at this time? ”
During the quarrel, someone shouted: "Jian Chen, you have something to say." ”
Jian Chen slapped the table and scolded, "What did I say? I told you a long time ago that it is so easy to build a union in my workshop and how easy it is to do it elsewhere? At the time, you still didn't believe me, and you laughed at me when I asked the yellow window paper to be pasted. Trade unions, since there are employees' associations, don't rely on these employees to rely on the goodwill of the mine owners? ”
"I said that we can't make everyone's life better, we can only represent the interests of some people, and you are against it. Now let me ask you, which side are we on? At the very least, we need to unify this, right? Don't think about the future, think about the present. ”
"Not about morality, but about the law. If the law is not investigated, then the past can only be morally criticized. What about the future? Will this happen again in the future? ”
"I don't agree with anything about countering violence with violence, nor do I agree with compromise. This is an opportunity for the bottom to have a voice, our demands must not be too high so as not to be difficult to achieve, so that there will be a rebellion declared by the shock, we must not use guns, the pickets are not for fighting, but for maintaining order. ”
"Through small requests, we can increase the confidence of the working masses and make them believe that they have the power and possibility to make a voice. It also makes some preparations and paves the way for the future. ”
"Therefore, I suggest: let's first pass this matter, and Hu Lin will take the lead in drafting a law amendment regulation, and submit it to the council according to the normal channels. For various problems that may arise in the mine, a clear corrective rule is given and submitted to the permanent members of the council for approval. ”
Someone stood up and asked, "What if it is denied?" ”
"Denied?"
Chen Jian paused, took a long breath and said, "Then force them to agree." What is party property used for? What are you afraid of in a strike? Aren't you afraid that it will be difficult to survive without money? That's what the party does. If you don't have money, what kind of work are you going to strike? So many industries in Mincheng need coal and need hired workers to transport it, and they have to know how these things come from, not from the mine owners but from hired workers. ”
"I suggest that a committee be elected to deal with this special incident, concentrate opinions, and deal with it quickly."
Soon, the committee of thirteen members was elected and began to really face the problems that had to be faced, so the quarrel would not be fruitful for ten years.
Chen Jian no longer served as a member of the finance committee, nor was he a member of the organization committee, and he did not know a lot of specific circumstances, so he first reported the reliable number of people and money within the thirteen-member committee.
"We have to get more people's support, we have the upper hand morally, but once it involves interests, morality is useless. So once the problem is serious, someone has to make it clear who is responsible, for example, if the coal can't be brought in, we blame the hired workers? Or do you blame the workshop owners for not backing down? This must win the understanding and sympathy of the general public. I suggest that Comrade Hu Lin be in charge of this. ”
"In the mines, it is important to calm the mood of the miners and not to cause bloodshed, especially when explosives and detonators are everywhere, not as much as it used to be."
"I keep in touch with the mine owners in Nan'an, and use their internal conflicts to get their support."
"The organization of pickets to deal with possible petitions and conflicts, and the organization of party funds to support the daily lives of the strikers, is the responsibility of the Finance Commissar and Comrade Qiao Tiexin. We must pay attention to the fact that we must strictly check the insiders to prevent hooligans and bad elements from mixing in and giving people a false pretext. ”
"The organizing committee should immediately contact the organizations of the mines, workshops, docks, etc., and it is necessary to cut off all normal order in the city......"
"The External Liaison Committee has formulated a strict bottom line of terms and conditions, and explained to all participants that they cannot increase the weight indefinitely after pursuing our requirements. If someone is inciting in the crowd, immediately the pickets will control it and drive it out of the crowd, this must be taken care of, otherwise the situation is not under our control. ”
After making these suggestions and being approved, Jian Chen put the recorded resolution in front of everyone, and was about to read it out again to confirm it, when Hu Lin suddenly stood up.
Chen Jian and the other twelve people looked at Hu Lin together, and Hu Lin suppressed his voice and said, "Everyone, what if you ...... If the situation is out of control......"
After a pause, Hu Lin sighed and said solemnly: "If the situation is out of control, something big will happen...... Then resist to the end in this red brick building, there are sacks of sand and gravel in the basement, barricades can be built in the east and west streets, there are guns and gunpowder in the warehouse, and only the wide area of the diagonal street can be deployed with cannons, which have been bought by Chen Jian, and there is a road next to it to go around and destroy the cannons. But the road in the back street is right in front of the Sheriff's Office, and it is unlikely that you want to go to the docks. So here you can last until the end, and you can only hold out to the end, there is no way back. ”
"Whether it's change or a better life for more people, there is no bloodshed that can succeed. Since this matter was agreed upon by us, if the situation is out of control, then I hope that this building will be the grave of the thirteen of us. ”
"Whether it's a boat or a sail, they can go, but we can't. When it comes to shedding blood, let's drain it first. Shedding our own blood and smelling it comfortably, who made us the members who were elected by everyone's trust? ”
"If you really want to die, then die vigorously, let the world know, let those people pay attention, and rely on their untouched conscience to pay attention to everything that happens here."
Jian Chen pursed his lips and shook his head secretly in his heart, he just talked about the location of this building with Hu Lin as a joke, but he didn't want Hu Lin to really care.
The scene was silent and heavy at this time, Chen Jian felt that it was unlikely that an uncontrollable event would happen, and things might not develop out of control, Chen Jian felt that there was a great chance of winning, but it was like making a suicide note before leaving Qi State, and he always had to prepare.
And that's just in case. Hu Lin did the right thing.
Jian Chen didn't want to die, he didn't want to die if something really happened, but it had come to this point, and he had to die if something really happened.
This is the bottom line of being a man, and sticking to man is the original intention of stepping on the ground against the sky.
Therefore, the sea is dangerous, and he wants to go, not let others go with his knowledge. So when he plans for the worst at this time, he will either quit at this time or he will have to choose death at that time.
The only thing I didn't expect was that Hu Lin, who usually looks mild, would say such things at this time.
Hu Lin pulled out his knife, cut his fingers, and pressed his handprint on the resolution that the clerk had just passed.
One, two, three......
The fingerprints of the thirteen people were left on it, and they stood in front of the window and looked at the street in the distance, and finally understood the purpose of choosing the trading company here in the first place.
Jian Chen smiled and put away the paper, sucking his fingers, not knowing how to dissolve this gratuitous and solemn atmosphere.
For a long time, Hu Lin said quietly in front of the window.
"It's a pity that the bricks are red, and if they really bleed, they fade too quickly. Not as good as white. ”
Chen Jian thought that after this incident, it is estimated that when party politics matures in the future, the "Decree on Restricting the Activities of the Mexican Party" and the "Banning the Trade Union of Ink Elements" will definitely be the first batch of laws to be passed.
This unexpected event seriously affected his plans and seriously affected his journey to the other side of the sea.
The only advantage may be that when religion comes out of the fog, it can confront religion, and do the things that religion does in new places, such as church relief, support at the bottom, community exchanges, and gathering groups to fight for benefits, so that they have no way out at the grassroots level.
After all, after coming out of the fog, Mincheng will inevitably be the first place where religion is infected.
After thinking about the tragic situation of the bankruptcy of the family workshop and handicraft industry that he would inevitably experience in the future, Chen Jian felt that he might not know how many factions would be divided into the interior at that time, and he did not know how many factions he would be called a traitor.
