Chapter 102: Childish Differences (Part II)

"Ladies and gentlemen, all of you who are sitting here or still standing. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"We are able to meet today under this roof because we all want our people, our republic, to be better."

"That's our basic purpose, and we can talk about it in terms of purpose. Because you're not here to destroy the race, or to bring it to an end, but you think of different ways. ”

"Whether it's absolute kingship or moral supremacy, whether it's laissez-faire or the division of taxes between the rich and the poor, this is the way, and these different, endless forks, in the end we want a better result."

"If it weren't for that, we wouldn't be standing here today."

"I respect everyone who comes tonight, even if you come to scold me and refute me or even hit me with your fists, then you are still a real countryman."

"But the road we have to take has countless forks in the road, and without a pair of eyes that can see the future, no one will know which path is right and which is wrong."

"In that case, what should I do?"

"I'm here today to seek common ground while reserving differences, not to quarrel, let alone fight. What does a fight say? There are so many of you here, I can't beat you, and I can't surpass you. But when I arrived in Mincheng, I had more than 600 hired workers, more than 200 comrades from the Mexican Party, and more than 100 pickets, and you couldn't beat me. So am I wrong here? When I arrived in Mincheng, I was right? ”

"Since this is not the case, then we should turn the quarrel into a debate, so that everyone has a chance to speak, and everyone has a chance to express their opinions. Instead of turning this kind of thing into a farce, into a martial arts arena, and into a place where anyone is louder. ”

"There are different opinions, which can be raised, opposed, refuted, and criticized."

"But for now, I would say, people aren't really going to talk about it."

The very sincere words made the people below who were deliberately divided into left, middle and right by Jian Chen temporarily quiet down, and Jian Chen said with a smile: "Ladies and gentlemen, in fact, in Mincheng, our party and faction often quarrel and discuss. But we don't have to talk about it so aggressively. ”

"As for me, I have printed some of the processes and rules of our internal deliberations and sent them here to you to see. If everyone agrees, let's discuss, debate, and deliberate in this way. ”

Hu Lin carried a large box from behind with a person, and everyone looked back and saw a very thin booklet taken out of the box and sent them down one by one.

The person sitting in the back was the first to get it, and when he looked through it, there was a complete set of rules of procedure, when to speak, when to speak first, and when to be quiet, which was written as clearly as possible.

There are still many things in it that are not perfect, but the overall framework has been outlined.

Lan Qi sat in the middle and in the front, but not in the front, and was blocked by the people in front of Jian Chen. She didn't get this very thin booklet until the end, opened it and read it carefully for a while, nodded slightly, and unconsciously glanced up at Jian Chen, who was smiling hard in front, and found that Jian Chen didn't notice her.

The above things are very simple, and there is no beauty in the use of words to form sentences, but each word is not ambiguous, one is one and two is two.

The first thing is to determine what is being discussed today, and after that, the second thing will not be discussed unless the matter is discussed.

Then you need to elect an objective and fair host, who does not need to have too advanced knowledge, only needs a person who can read the clock, knock on the table, and choose people to speak in accordance with the following rules.

This is followed by some rules for discussing the agenda, such as not interrupting the current speech, not personal attacks, not talking about the purpose behind it, only talking about the current reasoning, who has priority and who should postpone, the expressions of favor and opposition, and so on.

It's brief, but a lot of the way it is done is explained as much as possible, and the purpose of doing so is already the possible consequences of not doing so - and most importantly, that everyone is theoretically equal and has the right to express their will, otherwise it is possible to leave the disagreement with this way of discussion.

After reading it, Lan Qi thought about the scene when she used to quarrel with others, and she couldn't help but laugh, which was not the same as what was said above, and the consequences were just like what was written above, often unhappy.

After waiting for about two quarters of an hour, Jian Chen swept through everyone sitting here to make sure that everyone had finished reading the booklet.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the first thing we need to do now is whether or not we agree with this way of discussing. And now, before agreeing with this rule, I will propose one thing using the previous rule: vote by show of hands, and ask him to leave if he disagrees with the most basic concept of equality and right to speak. ”

"Because everything we are going to discuss is based on this basis, not to discuss whether the bloodline is sacred, so we don't need other people's opinions. In light of this, it is important to distinguish whether we can continue to discuss on this basis, rather than discussing what has happened before. ”

"If you support and agree, please raise your hand. If not more than half, I will leave. If exceeded, ask them to leave. ”

The majority of the people raised their hands, signaling their support for Jian Chen's statement and rules of procedure, and agreed that they were different from those people's basic views, and there was no need to discuss them.

More than 20 people looked at Jian Chen angrily and scolded a few words, but Jian Chen couldn't hear it. The rest of the people exercised restraint and did not choose to quarrel, but remained silent, and the twenty-odd people reluctantly left, deciding to go back and form a party as wellβ€”and those who remained tonight supported them, they must oppose them, because they felt insulted.

After those people left, Jian Chen smiled and said, "Now, we have reached an agreement on at least one thing. As far as this incident itself is concerned, we are all friends and can accept each other. As I said, the ends are all good, the paths are different. Xiao Ming joined the army to defend the country, Xiao Hong made explosives in the Xue Palace, and Xiaohua paid for military rations in farming, all of which were fighting for the country of the republic, with the same purpose, but the methods were different, and the only thing they quarreled about was which was better. ”

"There's a lot of things we have to discuss, and it shouldn't just be discussed in a small circle, but to be heard by more people. People will choose what is right or what they want to hear, so that more people will be involved and more people will understand what we are fighting for. ”

"You can have no interest in state affairs, but you must be sure that the country is too interested in you, and all this will not let you go because you are not interested in state affairs. So, if you don't want to be a pitiful puppet in the hands of a craftsman in the market, to be pushed around as others please, you have no choice but to care about the affairs of the state. It's really about caring for yourself. ”

"We're going to discuss it today, we're going to discuss it tomorrow, and we're going to discuss it the day after tomorrow or even the day after tomorrow. After the discussion, it should be printed and distributed in a pamphlet so that more people can discuss it. ”

"So we shouldn't and can't just talk about this once. Therefore, I would like to propose that I donate some of the money to prepare a large place in the capital dedicated to discussing state affairs, discussing people's discussions, free discussions, equality and fairness, and discussing how to make the republic better. We need to set up a newspaper and print and distribute what is being discussed. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Jian Chen found that a person in the middle raised his hand, and saw that the slender finger was a woman, but it happened to be blocked by the person in front of him, this is not on the podium after all, there is no absolute height difference.

I felt a little strange in my heart, I didn't know what this person was doing with his raised hand, but he smiled and said, "This friend who raised his hand, what do you want to say?" ”

The woman tried to stand up, but by the time she stood up, the words had already opened.

"My grandfather donated a school in the capital, which was very open and had a lot of space. On the holidays, children can rest and discuss there, so they don't have to spend any more money. And the courtyard can be ......"

The words were not finished yet, but the words behind Chen Jian were clearly inaudible, and only the sound of the surging tide after the blood rushed up in his ears.

It was as if the heart had been pierced by a sharp thorn, but it could not be pulled out, but the heart did not stop, but kept vibrating, hitting the sharp thorn again and again.

It's a little blurry, but it's very clear. It's the surroundings that blur, and it's the woman who stands up.

Wheat-colored skin, delicate and stubborn eyebrows, and a habitual smile that unconsciously appears like mockery at the corners of his mouth when he speaks......

"You've been here ......"

The phrase was repeated over and over again in my head, like a myriad of ordinary and habitual openings, wanting to blurt out but being suppressed by the last shred of reason.

His arms trembled slightly, his nails grabbed his hem with all his might, as if it was about to be crushed, and his pinched finger bones turned white.

Jian Chen felt as if he was about to lose his breath, and he knew very well that he must be embarrassed in the eyes of others at this time, but he didn't even have the strength to get rid of this embarrassment.

He tried to take his eyes off the red fish, but only turned slightly, and it turned back like iron filings caught by a magnet, and the buzzing cicadas in his ears made his breathing short.

People are.

Heart-not.

Lan Qi stood up and finished what she had to say, looking at Jian Chen, whose body had become very strange, with some doubts.

She is not a country and a city, she knows very well; He may be unusual elsewhere, but he is ordinary here; There was nothing angry or emotional about what I said.

So she was very puzzled, wondering how the person in front of her, who was normal just now, had become like this.

staring at himself like this, as if he was about to peel himself off and turn him into a lamb, as if he was too late to stand up with a hint of resentment, or ...... There was a bland look in his eyes, as if his parents were normal when they looked at him.

I don't know who it is, but I suddenly shouted: "It's broken! Isn't Jian Chen's epilepsy? Fast! Fast! Don't let him bite his tongue! The woman pulled out the hairpin and let him hold it! Hairpin hairpin! Hairpin hairpin! ”

The crowd erupted.

Lan Qi jumped over, the hairpin on her head was jade, and she was afraid that she would be bitten and hurt her mouth and stomach.

Knowing that the situation was waiting for no one, he struggled to take off his boots, stretched out a hand to jam Jian Chen's jawbone, and stuffed the boots between his teeth......
