The team to suppress it stopped, because Hu Lin had a good father, a rich father who was the number one in the Mincheng platoon, although the relationship between father and son had not been harmonious. The second reason is because his reputation in Mincheng is very high, second only to a few people.

The person who led the team walked up to Hu Lin and said in a very respectful tone instead of directly telling people to rush away like the rest of the roadblockers: "Mr. Zhu Qian, please don't embarrass me. ”

Hu Lin was about to explain, when he heard the man who led the team shouting: "Send Mr. Zhuqian back to the city!" ”

couldn't help but say, a few people rushed over and tied up Hu Lin. A groom was found from the artillery team and asked the groom to send Hu Lin back.

Sent back to the city, Hu Lin knew that he couldn't do anything alone, so he had to rush to the party headquarters of the Mexican Party, only to be told that there was still a meeting inside.

Even if he was anxious, he had to wait, he knew that this was the only force that could stop this conscienceless massacre.

Only then did he understand that the organization and the gun and the money were so important. Otherwise, even if you are famous and respected, when it really happens, you can't do anything but shout a few words.

It's just that this group of people who were once familiar and the only one who made him feel that the future was bright, what decision would they make in this matter?

He believed that the meeting inside was also studying this matter, but he was already an outsider at this time, and he was no longer called a comrade but only Mr. Zhu Qian, and he was not qualified to know many things.

The most familiar Chen Jian is now outside, maybe at sea, or he may have reached the capital. But he also understands that the Mexican Party is not a family, it is not a gang, and after all, it still has to discuss and obey the collective decision, even if that person is there, if the majority of the entire party chooses to ignore it, what is the use?

After a long wait, two high-ranking party leaders familiar to Hu Lin finally came forward. No tea, no greetings, straight to the point.

"Mr. Zhu Qian is for the business of the River Valley Factory District."

After more than a month of depression and disappointment, Hu Lin suddenly broke out for some reason and scolded: "Do you want to say that this is progress, so you should ignore it?" At the beginning of the founding of the country, even though we were extremely strong, iron, copper, and gunpowder, we still had to understand that we had united our allies! If you continue like this, you will eventually lose a single ally. Suppress those little spinners today, can it be that tomorrow will spare you? If you don't speak for those who spin today, who will speak for you tomorrow? You're only a quarter of the new council, so you don't need anyone's help, don't you? ”

The person who received him was scolded by Hu Lin, but he maintained a good self-cultivation, and after Hu Lin's fire was finished, he asked rhetorically: "Then what should I do?" It's not a solution. Can Mr. Zhu Qian come up with a fundamental solution? ”

Hu Lin was stunned and muttered, "Method...... Way...... If I had a way, how could I have been seriously ill for months in the autumn rain in the capital? ”

The man Huo Ran lifted his shirt, pointed to the place where his heart trembled slightly because of the beating, and said, "Mr. Zhu Qian, I am also a heart here, and what flows in it is blood, not mud." Will we forget the faith we had when we were together? But what can we do? For the sake of the so-called conscience, do you want to go back? The problem of smashing all the machines, land patriarchy, and manual guilds has been solved, but we will have to go around this circle for the sake of conscience and stability for the rest of our lives. ”

Hu Lin sneered: "Even those small producers have their own programs and designs for the future, I don't believe you don't!" Or is this the path inevitable in the future you are designing? ”

The man didn't reply, not that he couldn't reply, but he didn't know how to make a long story short.

But in Hu Lin's view, this is acquiescence, and it seems that in the blueprint for the future designed by the Mo Party, this cannibalistic road is also inevitable.

Hu Lin shook his head and sighed: "When we were together, we were for a better future, a better future for everyone. This is the original intention, and it is the original intention that is unchanging and exciting. ”

"But now? What have you become? Jian Chen told me about this possibility a few years ago, and you are convinced of it, because this is logical reasoning, and it is 'science'! ”

When talking about the word science, Hu Lin's accentuated tone was obviously a little sarcastic.

Then he said: "People are forgetful, and I know that you must have a path that is much less bloody than this, but you are afraid...... You are afraid that this inevitable blood will get on you, so you want to let these low-level people be severely by the bourgeoisie you say, and then tell them in a pitiful tone: Look, we are right, you have been brutally by reality to understand that we are right......"

"But you're just going to let it happen to prove you're right? Are you trying to make everyone better? Or is it for the 'science' you believe in? ”

"If it is the former, you should have a sense of responsibility, a sense of mission, and the courage not to be afraid of what a thousand people are pointing out to solve this matter. Even though the bloody future may put you on your back, at least you have done it to the extreme for the sake of your faith. Use your organization, your strength, your beliefs, to progress, to take a path that progresses but does not have to be such a fateful path. ”

If it's the latter, what's the difference between you and the followers of those religions? For the sake of what you believe in, let the apocalypse or the Flood come to the world! Then those who are about to drown will realize that you are right. Sure, then the blood can't be spilled on you, but what is the difference between you and those believers? ”

"Isn't this a sacrifice of the basics? Is the purpose of your establishment of the Mexican Party just to prove that you are right? Isn't it supposed to change the world? yes, after those people were hard, they finally understood that you were right, but why couldn't you do something before they did it? ”

The scolded man smiled bitterly: "Sense of mission? Responsibility? Mr. Zhu Qian, we all have all these things you mentioned, otherwise we would have dispersed a long time ago. We are not a group of people who stand by the ant nest and watch the ants. You can't take the mountains to the East China Sea, you can't. You can't break branches for the elderly, you don't. Do you think we can't or don't do it now? ”

"Besides, tens of thousands of poor hired workers and peasants who have lost their land over the years have emigrated to the Great Wilderness City, and they should have starved to death or died of disease, but because of us, they survived. What about you? What have you done other than to send out your kindness? Yes, these people were transported away in advance before they had time to suffer, so you can't see it, so the conscience against them doesn't seem to you to exist, does it? ”

"Don't think that we are retaliating because they stabbed us in the first place, and don't think that we are resentful when these people in the new council oppose our proposal to improve the lives of employees. If a party is opposed for the sake of opposition, and the only lesson learned after one struggle after another is the nature of some people or the inability of some people to be trusted, then this party is too shallow and has no future. ”

"But what can we do? It doesn't matter who the idea is, it can't be done. public ownership, which is the destruction of public wealth, is punishable; Private ownership, which is the destruction of private property, is punishable. What logical self-consistent ideas can you find that let's say punish them unreasonably? The only logical basis for the idea of not being punished is that the appearance of machines is unreasonable, but we don't agree with it. ”

"We have long said that we are not a party of indiscriminate people, let alone a party of human morality, we must always achieve self-consistency in the system, so what can we do about this? We sympathize with them, we educate them that it's not the fault of the machine, but it takes time. We have given a solution, but how many people believe it? We have to have a foundation in doing things, it's not that we have to wait until they are hard before doing things to prove our judgment; It's that if they don't get hard, they won't have the basis for us to do things. We are not God, we can't create such a foundation, what can we do but wait, apart from laying such a foundation little by little, except for making the slightest preparation for the future? ”

"If there is no way to cure the symptoms, there is so much land overseas, and it would be nice if all the landless, landless, and poor people emigrated overseas? It can be resolved, at least temporarily, and at least the contradictions can be alleviated. ”

"But who's going to pay for it? Can those in power now agree? They also needed a lot of cheap labor, and even the North tied the peasants to the land. Even if the national voting system is implemented, we say that one person who is slightly passable will pay some money and send the bottom overseas in a planned way, do you think we will be elected? People want to ask why! ”

"The only way is to lift the table and do things according to our philosophy, but can we do it now?"

After hearing all this, Hu Lin sighed helplessly, and asked bitterly, "What about your decision?" ”

"Sympathy."

"Aren't you rich in party property? If this compensation is paid for them, they will not need to be sentenced to life hard labor. You can also send them to the Great Wilderness City, anyway, you have to send a group of people every year. ”

"Our money will be spent in more meaningful ways. The suffering in front of us is no more noble than the suffering that cannot be seen. ”

"According to you, your strikes and marches and petitions are also illegal."

"We don't smash machines, we look at it from a distance for the sake of public ownership, and we look at it up close to get the value of labor, and we are self-consistent in our system, so we don't feel guilty, and we have always been justified."

"Then according to their system, they feel that the machine is eating people, so they have to retreat to the manual guild system, so their concept is also reasonable?"

"In the guild era, don't you have to pay for smashing someone else's spinning wheel? If they want to be reasonable, then they will fight for it themselves. If one day they forcibly kill all those who support progress and return to the Patriarchal Guild, then it will be no problem. The question is, do they have the strength? ”

Hu Lin gritted his teeth and said, "You mean, whoever has a big fist will be justified?" ”

"We don't want that, but that's the way it is. We are determined to overturn the reality you are talking about, but we can only hone our fists on the basis of reality. You can't just allow someone to hit us with their fists, and then when you fight back, you say, "Oh, aren't you determined to achieve a future without fists?" So you shouldn't use your fists...... When you say this, it seems neutral and reasonable to refute, but in fact you are pulling the strings, right? ”

…………

Hu Lin didn't remember how he left the party headquarters of the Mexican Party, but he felt that his heart had become cold, and he felt that everything in reality was getting darker and darker, so dark that he couldn't see the light of the future.

The humanity and morality he envisioned were vulnerable in the face of the ugliness and bare trees of reality.

He thought that society should not be like this, and people should not be like this.

That's not right, he thought.

So when he got home, he took out a beautiful flintlock pistol that Jian Chen had given him, rode a lonely horse, and headed towards the tributary valley.

A letter was left at home, which was addressed to his friend Chen Jian.

"Please help me take care of my wife. I know that in the tide of the times, it is regressive and reactionary. But my body can't fit the times, I can't fit the waves, and the only thing I can hold is a heart and a heart. I want to blind my eyes, so that the suffering I see will not be nobler than the unseen. ”
