When the autumn and winter were blurring and the situation was changing, more than a dozen members of the correction and improvement clubs who had undergone short-term training carried various demonstration equipment and coal mine safety lamps and headed for various coal mines near Mincheng.

The Amendment and Reform Club is only an internal name, but externally some people refer to the association as the Mexican Party.

There are two reasons for this.

The method of dividing the contradiction between yin and yang since ancient times is still popular today.

As far as the mainstream of the council is concerned, one part supports the policy of heavy agriculture and the other group supports industry and commerce, which is the root cause of many differences. In addition, the power of industry and commerce has gradually expanded over the years, and finally there is a trend of division and resistance, so there is a saying that yin and yang are white ink.

At a council discussion on land policy a long time ago, the pro-industry councillors voted in ink, while the pro-agriculture councillors voted in white.

Moreover, on the issue of the voting rights of the rich and the poor, there is also a saying that yin and yang are white. Since the rich have the right to vote is white, the poor and the handicraftsmen with few votes are black.

In this way, the correction and improvement club is really black and can't be more black. It not only supports the development of industry and commerce and technological progress, but also stands on the side of those middle and lower classes with fewer votes to fight for votes and humanitarian welfare, etc., and none of the people who join the club are homesteaders, they are simply ink and authoritarian, so they have the name of the Mexican Party.

The most important thing is that some people criticize Hu Lin's "Dream City", thinking that since everyone is the same, and the world is returned to the public, then there is no rich or poor, which cannot exist. And he used philosophy to criticize this fantasy without the binary contradiction of black and white, believing that this is a ridiculous world that cannot exist at all.

And Hu Lin's initial idea was to stand at the bottom, so the upper class denounced Hu Lin's non-contradictory utopian fantasy of everyone as ink thought. In general, it is impossible, and even if it is realized, it will be a yard of black.

People in this group are still very fond of science, especially some new terms. After Chen Jian's names for atoms and molecules that can be divided and inseparable were spread in the capital, there was the idea of ink, and there was naturally such a thing as ink-colored molecules.

Later, after the emergence of the statement that someone is the machine that makes up the state, Hu Lin's previous fantasy of Dream City was criticized for being incomplete: it was clearly to disassemble the strict body of the country into small molecular autonomy.

Hu Lin had already given up the naïve idea at the beginning, and kept refuting this kind of attack.

By the time the news reached Mincheng, Hu Lin had objected to the idea that the newly formed Amendment and Reform Club had been called the Mexican Party.

But after Chen Jian heard the news, he smiled and said that it was not bad to say so, and he could call it whatever he wanted.

By the way, when applying for association, the name of the Mexican Party was directly used, and it was only called the Correction and Improvement Club internally.

Time and material conditions have reached this point, and thinking about the future has finally made more thinking and ideological contention appear in this lonely world.

At least here in Mincheng, the inkcolor is not a malicious word. On the contrary, they want to be fashionable, and even many people are proud of it, as can be seen from the fact that many of the people who join the organization are from good backgrounds.

Many of those who walk into the mine with safety lights today are trying to talk to the miners for the first time, to talk to the miners about science, and to try to deal directly with the mine owners. Because it didn't go up or down before, the former was too low and the latter was too high.

The fate of many of the people who went was actually changed by the charity trading company, such as one of the young people named Qiao Tiexin, who is very representative.

Qiao Tiexin's family opened a soy sauce workshop, although his father was not rich, but he also had no worries about food and clothing, and after the enlightenment, he sent him to a secondary school to learn arithmetic and bookkeeping.

The name Iron Heart is because the father hopes that his son's heart will be like iron. Qiao Tiexin is very smart, and he studied well when he was enlightened, but he was not interested in inheriting his father's business. When I was a child, I saw how my own sauce jar brewed soy sauce, maggots flipped over, yellow and white, and it was inevitable that I would be a little disgusting.

When he finished school, his father forced him to go back to take care of the business, and he was reluctant. In the school, he came into contact with a lot of strange ideas, and he read "Dream City" written by Hu Lin, so when the charity trading company was just established to recruit personnel, he went to register and became a member of the trading company in charge of accounts. When the Amendment and Improvement Club opened, it was a group of people who joined very early.

His father didn't interfere much with his choice, and at first the conflict between the trading company and the glass guild had nothing to do with the soy sauce factory.

However, not long after the dissolution of the Glass Guild, the trading company began to sell soy sauce in Mincheng at a low price, and it almost took a month to seize the low-end soy sauce market in the entire Mincheng.

If it was sold early, perhaps the soy sauce workshop and the glass workshop would oppose it, but now there is only one left, and it can only be slaughtered.

Qiao Tiexin's home is just a small soy sauce workshop, and the first one that can't withstand the impact is this kind of small workshop.

Just as the collapse of the Glass Guild left a dozen glass craftsmen disabled and a glass workshop owner unable to enter the trade again: within two months, seven or eight small soy sauce factories went out of business, the larger ones laid off their employees, and dozens of apprentice-level brewers lost their jobs, and the number is growing.

This time, the soy sauce workshop didn't even think about competing with the trading company, and the matter of the glass guild was in front of him.

The slogan of the trading company is: Giving soy sauce to those who could not afford to eat soy sauce is progress.

In front of every shop that sells chemical soy sauce is a piece of paper: whoever dares to hinder the poor from eating soy sauce will smash their dog's head...... It means that if someone hires someone to smash the store, it will inevitably smash it back.

The merchants of Mincheng were well aware of the combat effectiveness of the pickets of the group of hired workers with strips of red cloth wrapped around their arms in the trading company, and they also knew that there were many pens in the trading company, the moral high ground was firmly established early, there were also people who were proficient in the judiciary, and there were still people in the official face, so they were really helpless.

In this way, Qiao Tiexin, who joined the charity trading company and the early backbone of the Mexican Party, stood on the opposite side of his father.

This antagonism alone is not enough to say that it affects a family. Under the blow of the imminent closure of the soy sauce workshop, Qiao Tiexin's father began to drink heavily, his temper became worse and worse, he always lost his temper at home, and beat his own woman.

Qiao Tiexin also has a younger brother, named Qiao Shijiao, a sibling, who was also beaten by his drunken father at home, and he couldn't help but resent his brother's charity trading company.

In this case, Qiao Tiexin went home once.

My father went out to drink, my mother was doing needlework there, and the family couldn't afford to live and still have money to spare, but there I sighed there, my face was blue and purple, and I secretly wiped my tears.

As soon as I asked my mother how she was doing, I said a few words, and then I was called outside by my younger brother.

When he went out, he avoided his mother's gaze, but his brother's greeting was brief.

"!"

After greetings, he kicked his brother in the stomach, and the two of them fought, and finally had a blue nose and swollen face, and then helped each other rub the medicine.

The lit liquor was burning, and Qiao Shiyu rubbed his brother's arm that was beaten by himself, and couldn't help complaining: "Brother, we all blame you for being like this now." Mom said she wouldn't let me take care of you, but my dad said that if you don't come back, he'll hang you up and whip you. You turn around, and I'll wipe the back for you. ”

Qiao Tiexin turned around, wiped his nosebleed, and said, "It's impossible for me to come back." I heard what Mr. Chen Jian said a few days ago, and I think it makes a lot of sense. The more advanced the technology and the more machines there are, the more things will be produced in the future, and everyone will become more than they can have now. Besides, those apprentices don't make sauce, they can do something else, they can transport beans and press soybean oil...... A new industry has made some people unemployed, but it has also created a new industry. ”

"Brother, what did you say, what should our family do? Don't you think about our family first, but think of the hired workers first? I don't care if it's better in the long term and short term, I just know that our family is going to lose now! ”

"Love each other, benefit each other. I believe these words. ”

"But you are also our father's son, my brother."

"Our family can't starve to death, and we make a lot of money, so we can do something else. Brother, didn't you also like to read Mr. Zhu Qian's Dream City at the beginning? ”

"That's different! When I was young, I liked to read, but when I grew up, I didn't like it, so why should we be equal to each other? When our father was working in the soy sauce workshop, what were those hired workers doing at that time? Besides, I don't care about the future, I care about the present! It was you, and Mr. Zhu Qian himself, who betrayed what he had written. He said that everyone was doing well, but now what he is doing is making some people have a bad life! ”

"So we're correcting and improving. It not only amends the current laws and taxes, but also reforms Mr. Zhu Qian's original illusions. Otherwise, why do you think we call it the Correction and Improvement Club? Repair whom? Change whom? In addition to these, it is necessary to modify and improve the machine so that one person can do more work; It is necessary to impose more ...... by amending the law"

"It's useless to tell me this, I know that our family is not doing as well as before, and I know that my father's drunkenness and anger are all because of your trading company! You also keep saying that in order to make more people's lives better, aren't our family people? I don't know what the future holds, and I can't see what the future holds, so I know that our family is not doing well. ”

"But many people in Mincheng can afford to eat soy sauce, and it is still progressive."

"Progress? You progress when you die, you don't die? You don't want to die, why should we die? ”

"Mess around!"

"Wolf heart and dog lungs!"

Qiao Shigu pointed at Qiao Tiexin and scolded: "Brother, I thought about it, I want to use the family's money to do the textile industry." I ask you, if in the future there is a new machine that crushes my weaving workshop, will you also think that this is progress? ”

"Yes."

"Then I'll tell you, when that day comes, I'll take the lead in smashing the new machine to pieces. You don't realize that all this confusion is because of the progress you say. He Chen Jian has a new technology to make soy sauce and donated some money, he is a good person? Bullshit, if he was really a good person, he shouldn't have squeezed these workshops across. He's a good guy built on the tears of dozens of people, hundreds of people. He's a hypocrite. In fact, there is no need to change anything at all, the guild is the best system, there is no need for new technology and new machines, and everything new brings only chaos and dirt! ”

"That's not the sin of machines and new technology, I can't tell you about this, you can go to the place where we meet at night and listen to it."

"Brother, if you want to say that, I have nothing to say to you. Let's stop arguing, don't let mom worry. In the future, you go your way, and I go mine. ”

"Well, stop arguing."

The two of them went back to the house silently, and in the evening, Qiao Tiexin was whipped by his father, took out part of the salary he earned and put it at home, and left the house.

A few days later, he went to the coal mine with a safety light, and his younger brother hired a few hired men to buy a spinning wheel and start spinning a ......
