Ren Qiying, in accordance with the management methods he learned in the "labor camp" during the flood last year, and some knowledge about logistics learned from Yuwen Batu, casually asked about the enemy's strength and marching, and immediately exposed Song Jiaoren's words. Song Jiaoren's face turned red immediately.

Huang Xing saw that the situation was not right, and hurriedly relieved Song Jiaoren. He said with a straight face: "How can I talk to you as a girl about such a big thing!" ”

Ren Qiying didn't take advantage of the situation to pursue, she just wanted to give Song Jiaoren a dismissal, and for those who were full of big words, it was also a last resort to give them "rules". Since Huang Xing has begun to make a statement, he should also make some statements on this matter. Ren Qiying smiled heartily: "I'm just a civilian official, not a soldier." I really can't interfere in military command matters. ”

Although the words were polite, Ren Qiying clearly pointed out that he was only "unable to interfere in military command" because of institutional reasons, which did not mean that Ren Qiying could not participate in military operations. But the meaning of these words is too subtle, if it is Chen Ke, he will naturally be able to understand it, and whether Huang Xing and Song Jiaoren can understand Ren Qiying does not know.

There's no point in continuing at this point. Ren Qiying suggested that the two rest, but Huang Xing and Song Jiaoren were in a hurry to see Chen Ke. Ren Qiying saw that the two of them were very resolute, so she had to send a correspondent from the county to take the two to Yuezhangji. Chen Kezheng was inspecting the election in Yue Zhangji.

Yue Zhangji was once the target of the People's Party's first military operation, and now it is the People's Party's earliest rural base area. The road leading to Yuezhangji has been basically completed, and unlike the lively area near the wharf, which is centered on cargo handling, storage, Fengtai County's roadside to Yuezhangji is the people's party's scientific and technological elite area. Units including schools, scientific research, and factories are connected one after another. From the perspective of this era, each of these units has enclosed a large piece of self-reserved land.

Because they were unhappy in their hearts, Huang Xing and Song Jiaoren didn't say anything, even if they looked at the big units and parks, the two of them didn't ask the correspondents who walked beside them. But after walking for a while, the two were still attracted by the scenery on the side of the road. In fact, this scenery is nothing special, and if you are a person in the 21st century, you will definitely not have any special feelings. Because the scenery on the side of the road is very monotonous.

The People's Party is a "big government," and the entire agriculture is preliminarily planned. Not to mention the small trees planted neatly on the roadside, the same is true in the regional planning, and the trees, bamboo forests, and crops are neatly planted in large areas on the vast fields. Even the open fields after the harvest are endless patches and patches. The neat ridges only have a certain degree of curvature when they meet the ditches and ponds, otherwise they will stretch straight out. There is a dirt road that is not very narrow.

Huang Xing and Song Jiaoren were dumbfounded, the farmland in Fengtai County was very different from the rural areas in the south, which were made up of small plots of land of different shapes. Compared with the orderly vast land here, the countryside in the south is like a beautiful and gentle girl in the south of the Yangtze River, and Fengtai County is a rugged and heroic man.

"I didn't expect the land here to be so regular." Huang Xing sighed.

The county correspondent was a young man, just twenty years old. Hearing Huang Xing say this, the correspondent proudly said: "Last year, we had a big flood here, and a year ago it was still a big muddy pond. This is all new land that we have carved out of ourselves. When the new land was opened, Chairman Chen personally led people to plan it. We didn't believe we could make it look like this, but we were surprised that it did this year. ”

Huang Xing looked at the field that could not be seen at a glance, he was really shocked, "Can it be like this in just one year?" ”

The correspondent also participated in the construction of the rural areas, and he replied with great interest: "Yes, men, women, and children went into battle together, Chairman Chen personally took the lead, and the members of the People's Party and the cadres and soldiers of the army all personally repaired the ridges and cultivated the land. I was in charge of planting bamboo, and you can see the bamboo forest by the pond over there, which was planted by our county party committee. ”

Looking in the direction of the correspondent's finger, sure enough, there is a large bamboo forest by the pond, and the bamboo is less than one person high, so it should have been planted this year.

"When the bamboo grows taller, the scenery should be good." Song Jiaoren said with a smile. Ponds, lotuses, bamboo forests, if you build a pavilion for people to fish leisurely, this is one of the favorite scenery of the literati.

"Bamboo is used as a building material." The correspondent did not have this kind of elegance, and he talked about the original purpose of planting bamboo forests.

When Huang Xing and Song Jiaoren saw this new scenery, they were quite excited and talked a lot. The correspondent knew that the two of them were going to see Chairman Chen Ke, and that the two should not be enemies, and that young people love to show off, and they talked a lot about rural construction in the base areas along the way.

Communicators are meant to be running around, transmitting orders and messages, and they have a lot more knowledge than ordinary action personnel. Huang Xing and Song Jiaoren also wanted to know the situation in the base area, and when they chatted with the correspondent at first, the two sighed. After hearing this, the two of them talked less.

There are many members of the alliance who are landlords and businessmen, and many of them are also big landowners. However, these people are fundamentally limited to the land they own about the construction of the rural system, and there is no one who has a comprehensive understanding of the People's Party, a correspondent. This is not just about farming, from the measurement and division of the land to the construction of the irrigation system, and the rational distribution of all kinds of land. Just knowing these things, he is already extremely knowledgeable and capable in the League. This correspondent was ordered by You Wei, Huang Xing and Song Jiaoren felt that the status of the correspondent was not high, even if it was such a small clerk with a low status in the People's Party, he could have his own understanding of the entire county, this fact Huang Xing was not deeply touched, and Song Jiaoren felt a strong discomfort.

To manage a place, you need to have people who are familiar with the local situation. If an official is parachuted into a certain place, it is simply a black eye. Song Jiaoren originally thought that the People's Party had become a climate by gathering a group of outlaws. As a high-ranking cadre of the League, Song Jiaoren really didn't think that there were many real revolutionary parties in the country. He took it for granted that most of the revolutionary parties that "understood revolutionary ideas" were now in organizations such as the League or the Liberation Society. Now that he saw this correspondent, he really felt how strong the BJP had become.

Of course, if it were not for the vast and neat field in front of him, and without the "guidance" of the correspondent, Song Jiaoren would not have admitted this fact. It was only after witnessing with his own eyes that the People's Party had transformed the countryside on a large scale that Song Jiaoren knew that the League would be left far behind the People's Party.

"Was the appearance of this countryside planned by Mr. Chen Ke himself?" Song Jiaoren asked.

When it comes to Chen Ke, the correspondent is even more spirited, "This is Chairman Chen personally set up a surveying and mapping team, set up an engineering team, and mobilized and organized the masses to participate in labor." Before the land was cleared, Chairman Chen had a big picture painted it, and now it looks exactly like the painting. But this year, the painting was removed, and you two can't see it. ”

Hearing this, Song Jiaoren asked, "Is Mr. Chen a native of Fengtai?" ”

When it came to Chen Ke's background, the correspondent was stunned, he really hadn't thought about this question, and after thinking about it for a while, the correspondent replied: "Chairman Chen is a northerner. However, the people of Fengtai County feel that he is our own person in Fengtai County. ”

Song Jiaoren was completely silent. If Chen Ke is a native of Fengtai County, it is also possible that Chen Ke has already had an idea, since Chen Ke is not a native of Fengtai County, that is, Chen Ke only designed the appearance of the new Fengtai County after arriving in Fengtai County. Song Jiaoren couldn't think of anyone in the alliance who could have this kind of management and planning ability.

The correspondent was tired after talking for so long, so he asked Song Jiaoren, "Mr. Song, where is the base of your alliance?" ”

Song Jiaoren and Huang Xing knew that the correspondent did not mean to embarrass the two of them, but even so, the faces of the two showed embarrassed looks. Song Jiaoren thought for a moment before replying: "We have our own territory in Guangdong and Hunan. However, we are based in Japan. ”

"How did you come to Japan to set up your headquarters? It's too far from your base. How do you communicate? You have to cross the sea by boat. "Although the correspondent did not know about the League, he received a certain amount of education in geography. He imagined the League as it was, and immediately raised the questions peculiar to the correspondents.

Huang Xing and Song Jiaoren were even more embarrassed after hearing this, they could not say that the League had no base in China at all, and many uprisings were also wiped out by the Manchus. Although those who engage in politics have to accept the problem of spit on their own faces, they must compare the situation of the League with that of the People's Party, and both of them have self-esteem, and they really can't do anything about bullying or humiliating themselves.

Song Jiaoren was more anxious, and he smiled: "I see that although Miss Ren Qiying Ren in your county is young, her position is not low. You call her Director. What kind of official is this director equivalent to the Manchu Qing Dynasty? ”

Although the correspondent is young, he has seen a lot of scenes. He knew that Song Jiaoren was changing the topic, and he had to answer Song Jiaoren's questions, but Song Jiaoren was secretive. In the face of such an attitude, the correspondent was not happy, and to this question, he replied coldly: "It is equivalent to a county order." ”

A girl who looks less than twenty years old as a county magistrate? Although the imagination of the two has been constantly refreshed in the People's Party base, this answer has greatly impacted the imagination of Huang Xing and Song Jiaoren. "Is this Miss Ren Mr. Chen's confidant?" Huang Xing asked.

The correspondent was very disgusted by this remark, "What henchmen are not confidants, we are talking about work ability here, not personal relationships." Director Ren has done a very good job, so he can naturally take on this job. ”

"Talk about work ability, not personal relationships." Although Huang Xing and Song Jiaoren didn't believe it at all, they were still psychologically overwhelmed by the correspondent's righteousness.

The correspondent is not talking nonsense, everyone is watching Ren Qiying's promotion. It is nothing more than following the party early, working hard and complaining, and it is the hardest. And Ren Qiying also has a great advantage, she never hides her selfishness. If there are any new work ideas, Ren Qiying always has to hold a meeting to discuss with you. If there is any new working method, Ren Qiying has always wanted to promote it in the unit. Of course, Ren Qiying also has a great advantage, although the correspondent himself has this feeling, he does not clearly use it as a standard for judging Ren Qiying.

People in the county party committee office felt that Ren Qiying would continue to rise to the top, and that the base was not a "small government" like the Manchu Qing Dynasty, but a genuine "big government". There are a large number of government employees, everyone is doing a good job, and there is no shortage of opportunities for promotion. With leaders like Ren Qiying, you can learn things, and promotion is not hopeless. Although the correspondent himself did not have the consciousness of being a "bureaucrat", in this environment, he naturally gave birth to this kind of thinking.

Huang Xing and Song Jiaoren naturally did not know that the correspondent still had such aspirations, and compared with the current revolution of the League, compared with the People's Party, the current revolution of the League was simply a grass-roots team entertaining itself, and the specific issue of promotion was not within the scope of their consideration at all. How to pull people to work hard is the top priority of the Alliance. Huang Xing and Song Jiaoren were also afraid that the correspondent would continue to ask questions about the strength of the Alliance, so they stopped talking. The three of them began to hurried in silence.

Shocked by what they saw along the way, Huang Xing and Song Jiaoren's minds were full of chaotic thoughts. So much so that they forgot to think about one thing, since the cadres at all levels of the People's Party have such insight, how can Chen Ke, as the leader of the People's Party, be worse than these people.

The election of Yue Zhangji was very lively, and the people had elected themselves as officials for thousands of years. The reason for this election is not difficult to understand, and the propaganda that has been carried out these days has made it clear that the new socialist system pursued by the People's Party is to enable the common people to live a better life, and that science and democracy are the two pillars of the socialist system. Officials are the government organization model that ensures scientific implementation from the state system, so the newly created positions include town heads, village heads, culture, education, health, sports, and other positions.

Chen Keqiang, who had been holding back from talking about the meaning of the revolution, has finally paid off. As a result of the actual construction work, the people have also gained tangible benefits from this construction work. Most importantly, the BJP did not monopolize knowledge, but taught the people the principles and practices of why it was done. The people are not just passive bystanders, but also actively participate in the threat of floods in order to survive. All kinds of scientific and technological means can also prove that what the BJP says is true.

Taking health cadres as an example, the People's Party did not say anything about epidemic prevention, which the people thought was mysterious, and as soon as the microscope was rolled out to the countryside, something was taken out from between everyone's teeth and from the dirt on their fingernails, and then when they looked under the microscope, there were so many "little bugs" in it, and it was worth a thousand words. The people believed that the "germs" mentioned by the BJP existed, and then many normal extensions began to appear on this principle.

The same is true for farming, the people know that they need to select seeds, and the seeds grown by special seed cultivation centers on artificially created plaster land are large and full, and they are good seeds at a glance. Naturally, people are willing to spend some money to buy these good seeds. Of course, these policies and services are not forced to be accepted by the people. Chen Ke has absorbed the lessons of history, and the party in history really demanded absolute unity on these matters, but the result has caused many problems.

In dealing with this kind of problem, the Americans have handled it in a good way. There is a highway in the United States, and the section is very dangerous. As a result, the Highway Authority has put up signs in various dangerous places, and there have been more car accidents than before. Later, they reversed their thinking and simply removed the signs, only to write a big word on the entrance to the highway: "This road is dangerous, please pay attention to protect yourself." "The number of car accidents has plummeted.

In the end, the American expert concluded that when those signs were hung up, the drivers who saw them not only did not feel the danger, but subconsciously thought that the danger had been foretold, and this idea gave the drivers a deeper psychological hint, "The danger has been removed." Under this suggestion, the driver's attention is not concentrated. Drivers are only fully focused when they are told that there is danger on the road, but not where the specific problem will occur.

Although Chen Ke himself is a "big governmentist", he believes that even "big government" cannot learn from Europe's social security policy from birth to grave, and the facts have proved that "high welfare" is doomed to bankruptcy as a decadent capitalist attempt to buy off the people.

The big government only provides the basic "guarantees", and adheres to the basic concept of the socialist system, and the people still have to put it into practice in managing their own affairs. Chen Ke firmly believes that what normal people hope for in the end is "life". It's not about throwing your head and spilling blood for some bullshit idea. Since the people can fight hard with others for an offensive word, Chen Ke also firmly believes that the people will fight the enemy to the end in order to defend the happy life provided by the socialist system.

What this socialist system should do is not to encourage the people to sacrifice, but to guide the people onto the road of science and democracy. Even if there are some rebellious fellows among the people, when their prodigal son returns, the state still gives them the means to live a normal life.

Because Chen Ke did not promote these things, and he did not promote the bright future of communism. Naturally, the common people did not know what Chen Ke was thinking, and even most of the comrades of the People's Party did not know what Chen Ke really thought. It is precisely for this reason that the more practical propaganda slogans put forward by Chen Ke, such as "labor is the most glorious," "the people's party is the vanguard of the people's interests," and "the workers' and peasants' revolutionary army is the people's soldiers," have become the unified viewpoint of everyone and have been implemented in practice one by one in the arduous work. The professional party stick has not yet appeared in the BJP.

The same is true for the election, of course, Chen Ke can't say, "You just choose first, and when you make a joke in the process of trying and touch a bag, you will believe that what Chen Ke said is right." ”

He could only say to the people, "Since the people are the masters of the country under the new system, the people should choose officials they can trust to serve the people." ”

Therefore, Chen Kecai deprived the grassroots government of its essence through the land reform policy, and told Chen Ke that as long as there is land in the village that can be sold freely, the village officials will definitely fight the idea of these lands. Not giving people the opportunity to make mistakes is the greatest protection.

Based on all the preparations in the early stage and the absolute foreknowledge of the mistakes that will be made in the future, Chen Ke is very relaxed. The purpose of his inspection was to ensure that the people's elections were indeed "fair, fair, and open." This is the basic concept and basic rules of democracy. Chen Ke formulated this rule, so he has an obligation to ensure the normal operation of this rule.

The arrival of Huang Xing and Song Jiaoren surprised Chen Ke, but he didn't have any special feelings. As the host, Chen Ke needs to entertain the guests, and the project of entertaining the guests is not to eat and drink, but to go to participate in the election work together.

The people are so excited about the new thing that the election is happening, and they don't understand the significance of doing it yet. Although the whole thing is helpful for the people to establish the idea of national ownership, it is only the beginning. The whole election situation was like a lively temple fair. As elsewhere in the base areas, the BJP does not run for some nominal leadership positions, including village and town heads. Rather, it requires specialized knowledge in medical care, science and education, as well as extremely important political positions such as women's unions.

A few days ago, the elections for these positions were over, and the members of the BJP did not face competition at all, and easily took all the "service positions". Today's event is the "highlight", the election of the village chief of Yuewangji Village.

The election of the village head required the presentation of an electoral program, and the People's Party did not participate, so no candidate could put forward a set of election criteria, let alone systematically put forward the concept of serving the masses or developing Yuewangji. The whole program has the feel of a burlesque.

Chen Ke accompanied Huang Xing and Song Jiaoren to watch the election, and he casually swept through the venue seemingly aimlessly, and saw a few familiar faces. They were members of the "People's House Committee," and their job was to gather information and see how many people would speak out against the party on this day when everyone could easily get excited. These anti-party remarks and those that the people are more concerned about will be collected and categorized. Services for policy development.

"Folks, after I am elected as the village head, I will definitely be able to manage everyone well." The man on the stage is now making a campaign manifesto with all his might.

"Uncle, just take care of yourself." A young man's voice came from below. This is terrible, and the crowd of onlookers burst into laughter. The electors on the stage were so red that they couldn't speak for a while. But it seems that this one is still a bit cultured, and after being embarrassed for a moment, he gritted his teeth and crossed his heart, simply took out the written manuscript from his pocket and read it to it.

Now the people are even more noisy, when the People's Party is running for other positions, it publishes its campaign platform off the script, but no one has ever done this to read the script. Some frowned, others simply laughed at the elected. The scene was very chaotic, and the cadres of the People's Party hurriedly maintained order and finally quieted down the people.

At the beginning, Chen Ke was also sentenced, "After I am elected as the village head, I will definitely be able to manage everyone well." He laughed, but he stopped laughing for a moment. Just quietly watched the selection of the people on the stage.

Huang Xing was attracted by this lively scene, and he was very excited when he looked left and right. Song Jiaoren has been secretly observing Chen Ke, Chen Ke's youth surprised Song Jiaoren, Song Jiaoren was born in 1892, and in 1907 he was 25 years old, "two years younger" than Chen Ke. Chen Ke looks younger than Song Jiaoren, but it is not easy to see the difference in age between the two. Moreover, Chen Ke is different from the "majestic, enthusiastic, personable, and temperamental" revolutionaries that Song Jiaoren often sees, and Chen Ke's behavior, words and deeds are very natural. At all times, it feels like Chen Ke is not deliberate. When he wanted to laugh, Chen Ke showed a "heartless" smile, and when he didn't smile, the muscles on his body and face were completely relaxed. With his tall and sturdy figure, bright eyes. Let Song Jiaoren have a feeling of sweat and hair behind him.

Song Jiaoren couldn't figure out what Chen Ke was thinking, but he intuitively felt that Chen Ke knew exactly what he was thinking. Just like after Chen Ke and the two met, they invited the two to watch the election together. Regardless of his expression and movements, Chen Ke was extremely frank, and there was not a word of nonsense in what he said, and there was no hint of anything, which showed that Chen Ke sincerely invited the two of them to visit.

The election is indeed very fresh, and Song Jiaoren also likes to watch it. For the first time in thousands of years, the Chinese people have chosen someone they identify with as officials. Song Jiaoren's heart was surging, but he felt that Chen Ke was too natural, as if the election he had never seen before was something that Chen Ke had already experienced dozens or hundreds of meetings, and Chen Ke had already seen the past and future of the election clearly.

Such a demeanor made Song Jiaoren feel fascinated and afraid. It is precisely because Chen Ke did not deliberately make an unfathomable appearance that this kind of unfathomable is even more terrifying. With this awe, Song Jiaoren made a correct judgment instead, "It is impossible to get Chen Ke to really cooperate with the Alliance. ”

Chen Ke didn't care what Song Jiaoren thought of himself, he had already left Song Jiaoren out of the clouds in his mind, Chen Ke was thinking about something else, this election is followed by the election of local people's representatives, and the elected people's representatives will form the first Anhui Provincial People's Party representative congress after the second election. The people's congress will not only be the representatives of all localities, but the people's congress will formally establish the legal system of the new government, which is the legal system of the broad masses of the people. This is a political trick that Chen Ke must play, and it is also something that Chen Ke must defend and defend. Regarding the fact that this legal system was established, Chen Ke felt that his attitude was a little too inclined to conspiracy, and he was thinking about how he should establish his position.

Behind these three people with different moods and almost completely different ideas and positions. Chen Ke's guards pressed their hands on their waists, and they watched the crowd around them vigilantly, especially Huang Xing and Song Jiaoren. As long as Huang Xing and Song Jiaoren had the slightest threat to Chen Ke, they would immediately stop or even kill Huang Xing and Song Jiaoren.

At this time, the commotion was remembered in the hall again, and the candidates on the stage had finished reading the script, and when he stepped down, another candidate with a nervous face trembling his legs began to take the stage.
