Twenty-four chapters

"Wenqing, the people's revolution must kill all the landlords and gentry?" Chen Tianhua asked. It was a question he never dared to ask. Originally, Chen Tianhua was just listening, and he didn't want to speak. But now, he had to ask the question. This is Xu Xilin's bottom line.

Chen Ke stretched out his left hand and made a recommended gesture towards You Wei. "We will ask Comrade You Yu to answer this question."

Chen Tianhua had a very good impression of You Tianhua, but he had not heard You Yu talk about anything related to the revolution, and You Tian gave Chen Tianhua the impression that he was an engineer, not too good a lecturer, and an excellent woman. But not a staunch revolutionary. Seeing that Chen Ke recommended You Wei to speak, Chen Tianhua looked at You Wei with a slightly shocked gaze.

"Huh?" You Wei didn't expect Chen Ke to recommend himself to answer the revolutionary question, this question has always been discussed by Chen Ke and them fiercely, and he was not too interested in it, nor was he very clear.

"I can't say it." You Yu hurriedly refused.

"Just tell me what you think of the problem just now. They are all comrades, and they can't say what they want to say. Chen Ke smiled encouragingly.

"Miss You, must the people's revolution kill all the landlords and gentry?" Since Chen Kedu said so, Chen Tianhua also wanted to see what the attitude of the comrades in this revolutionary party was. He asked very seriously.

"If the landlords and gentry oppose the people's revolution by force, then there will only be ......, well, if they make the first move, we can't sit idly by, can we?"

Never fire the first shot! You Wei's answer made Chen Ke smile in his heart. This kind of measured fighting technique really satisfied Chen Ke very much. Chen Ke never taught You Yu anything about this, and he didn't even talk to his comrades about it. So he was happy in his heart, but he was waiting for the question and answer later. You Wei can show his personal qualifications, and whether this qualification can meet the needs of the struggle, Chen Ke is looking forward to it.

"Then how is Miss You going to get along with the gentry?"

"Industry is very profitable, and everyone can make money together."

"Then there is a conflict between the people's revolution and the revolution of the owners of capital, what does Miss You Wei think?"

"We don't bully them, and they can't bully us. This, this ......, under the new system, everyone does not bully others, nor is they bullied. How wonderful. ”

Hearing this, not only Chen Ke, but everyone else couldn't help but nod slightly. You Mu seemed to answer kindly, but she bit a key point - the new system. None of the people present could misunderstand that the new system that You Wei was talking about was a new system established by the people's revolution, not a capitalist system.

Sure enough, You Wei continued, "Wen Qing told us about European textile factories, about British sheep eating people, and about European slave trade. I read in Germany and heard about the slave trade. China can't do that. That's miserable. That's not right. ”

Chen Tianhua has a wide range of knowledge, and he is not ignorant of the world, and he also knows a thing or two about what You Yu said. And he had no reason to refute You's point of view. After pondering for a while, Chen Tianhua asked: "That is to say, if the gentry also follow the people's revolution mentioned by Brother Wen Qing, then they can also live a good life." The revolution will not attack them? ”

You Wei listened to Chen Ke talk about some revolutionary truths, and also thought about some revolutionary things, but he didn't think about it so deeply. If what she said earlier was only describing the part of the revolutionary theory that she could agree with, after listening to Chen Tianhua's words, You Yu suddenly felt a little enlightened.

"Wen Qing said before that the new system is an industrial system. In industrialized China, everyone can produce far more goods than they need, and then make everyone's life live well through equal transactions. It's a good system where everyone can live. If you are not satisfied with this system, you are too greedy. I want to get all the benefits. This kind of person must be defeated. ”

Chen Tianhua thought that You Wei would narrate a radical revolutionary truth like Chen Ke, but he didn't expect You Wu's statement to be like this. This answer full of feminine characteristics has the same meaning as Chen Ke, but it puts the people's revolution on the side of the "bullied". It sounds pitiful.

After this person has read the book, especially the woman, it is different! Chen Tianhua praised in his heart. recalled what Chen Kefang had just said, "Even if it is reasonable, everyone here is highly educated, and it is easy to coax some uneducated people." When Chen Ke said it, he was arrogant and cruel, but after listening to You Wei's answer, Chen Tianhua was deeply convinced of Chen Ke's comments.

Seeing that Chen Tianhua was silent thoughtfully, Hua Xiongmao smiled and said, "How about it, Xingtai, our comrades here are very unusual." ”

Chen Tianhua was not disgusted by such a boastful performance, he nodded yes.

"Actually, I have asked Wen Qing something like this a long time ago, and Wen Qing has always answered like this. Xingtai, you are also a reader, and you have traveled so many places. You know for sure how bad those who are rich and powerful. If you don't teach them a lesson, they won't be obedient. Wen Qing once said that revolution is not to kill people, revolution is to save people. Those bad people, if you don't teach them, they will be unscrupulous. In the end, it didn't end well. "Hua Xiongmao usually doesn't like to talk, at the party meeting, Zhou Yuanxiao is the most silent, and the second least talkative is precisely Hua Xiongmao.

"What Brother Zhenglan said is, but Brother Wen Qing's theory ......, hey, it's too murderous." Chen Tianhua sighed.

Hearing this, Chen Ke barely held back a smile, a revolutionary party like Chen Tianhua said that it was too murderous, what kind of world is this?

Qi Huishen didn't have Chen Ke's cultivation, he immediately replied: "Xingtai said so, I have to distinguish two sentences for Wen Qing." Since Wen Qing came to Shanghai, we have been with Wen Qing, Wen Qing treats people tolerant and kind, this revolutionary theory is just a matter of facts, not too murderous. ”

When Chen Tianhua first arrived, he found that Chen Ke was far inferior to himself in telling the truth of the revolution. Since listening to what they have said, the comrades of the Chen Ke political party can see that they are very impressed. Chen Tianhua thought that he could pull them over. Unexpectedly, at the critical moment, these people were on Chen Ke's side from theory to emotion, and no one supported him. Originally, Chen Ke's thoughts of contempt were gone. It seems that convincing Chen Ke is no longer possible, and the party members who persuade Chen Ke seem to have no hope. If you want to make progress, you can only do it here for a while. Thinking of this, Chen Tianhua asked a question that should have been asked a long time ago, "Brother Wen Qing, what is the name of our party?" ”

"We haven't decided on a name yet."

Hearing this, Chen Tianhua almost burst out laughing. He knew that they had been together for two months, but now there was no name for a political party. You know, if you change to another political party, the name has already been discussed.

"Do you have any opinions on the name of this party?" Chen Tianhua asked.

"Xingtai, although you are the Minister of Propaganda, you can't do this matter." To Chen Tianhua's surprise, he didn't speak Qi Huishen and Hua Xiongmao, who had been following Chen Ke closely, but they were wandering.

You Wei didn't stop when she said this, she slapped her hands on the table, "Since Wenqing has always talked about the people's revolution, it's better to call it the People's Party." ”

"Not bad, not bad." Hua Xiongmao said with a smile.

Qi Huishen also did not have any objections. According to the process of the party meeting, the people voted. Although Chen Tianhua had his own ideas, he also understood that it was useless for him to oppose this matter, so the vote was unanimously approved. The name of the BJP was decided.

Next, Chen Ke's performance surprised Chen Tianhua, Chen Ke did not wantonly seal the official position, and gave everyone some flashy titles. Or set a lot of rules. Chen Ke first revised the People's Party's "Three Principles of Party Member Behavior".

1. Linking theory with practice,

2. Close contact with the masses,

3. Criticism and self-criticism.

For these three articles, Chen Ke's statement is very interesting. "Our theory is not clear enough now, and everyone is a party member, and there are no masses. So, now let's be critical and self-critical first. Tang Taizong said that by taking people as a mirror, you can see the gains and losses. Since we are Chinese, the inheritance of Chinese culture, taking people as a mirror, to put it bluntly, is to accept the criticism of comrades. In this way, you can know whether there is a problem with your work and your usual words and deeds. ”

Although everyone may not really take this seriously in their hearts, this is true. So he nodded yes.

Chen Ke continued: "You have all read the Analects. In the Analects, it is said that I have three times a day and three self--seeking for others and not being loyal? Making friends and not believing them? Are you used to it? That's self-criticism. Although it is not the same as what we said, the knowledge of this ancestor is not low. What my ancestors said is still the three principles I put forward. ”

Chen Tianhua was a little dumbfounded by this, the current revolutionary party is openly anti-Confucian and anti-Confucian, and Chen Ke's style of doing the opposite makes Chen Tianhua a little puzzled. However, what happened next was not just puzzled, but made Chen Tianhua laugh out loud.

Chen Ke demanded that every party meeting should be criticized and self-criticized at the end. "If you don't have something to criticize at first, don't be afraid. Is it polite to speak when you see someone, and is it appropriate to say what you say? This is all the content of criticism, and this is the point of criticism. ”

What kind of political party is this, this is a school. Can such a group of people be taught to make a revolution? Chen Ke talked about the revolution, it was fierce and cruel, and he did things to his mother-in-law. Chen Tianhua felt that he really couldn't understand Chen Ke.

Chen Tianhua smiled, but found that no one else was laughing. made Chen Tianhua feel that he was inexplicably ridiculous.

Qi Hui said with a deep face: "Xingtai, do you know that those rich families are the most polite, and these words and deeds are to be taught. If you don't agree with your words and deeds, you will either be punished for kneeling or beaten to the board. Either you will be punished for kneeling after being boarded. Wen Qing's rules are sincere. ”

Chen Tianhua was a little stunned when he heard this.

After voting, the "Three Principles of Party Member Behavior" was unanimously adopted.

Chen Ke then began to introduce the recent situation and assign everyone's work.

According to the plan, the lecture under the sign of Shanghai Renxin Medical College will start in two days. The external part is mainly a chemistry lecture centered on "The Story of Candles". The chemistry class for progressive young people will officially start tomorrow, and Chen Ke will hand over this task to You Gui to do. Next, Chen Ke will personally lecture on Yan Fu's "Theory of Heavenly Evolution". At the end of this course, Chen Ke will talk about "The Materialist View of History".

Hua Xiongmao is in charge of continuing to sell medicines, and he has to find an engineering team. Qi Huishen is responsible for the overall operation of the lecture activities, including outreach and material mobilization. Zhou Yuanxiao was in charge of guarding the base camp - the dyeing workshop. Lectures for progressive youth will take place here.

Chen Tianhua was responsible for editing the lecture manuscript with Chen Ke. And at the end, it was compiled into a collection of lectures. Chen Ke even gave a name, called "The Inheritance of Chinese Culture and the Rise of Materialism". Not only that, but around this lecture, Chen Ke wanted to set up a newspaper called "Huangpu Review". The newspaper is now distributed free of charge to those who attend the lectures. The main promotion of new schools.

In the end, Chen Ke said that if this lecture can achieve hope, then he will try to set up a reading organization called the Huangpu Society.

Other comrades believed that such an arrangement was very feasible and that there was no other problem than spending more money. Chen Tianhua remembered the Huaxing meeting he organized with Huang Xing and others, and the whole process was the same as Chen Ke's. But because of the betrayal, the uprising failed before it could be launched. From his temptation, Chen Ke knew nothing about this matter, and his words did not look like he was lying. If this is the case, then it can only be said that the hero sees something in the same way. But Chen Tianhua felt uneasy, and he asked tentatively: "Wen Qing, since you want to overthrow the Manchu Qing, this armed uprising is indispensable. Will you be able to prepare for an uprising in Shanghai in the future? ”

"I will not launch an uprising in Shanghai, where the strength of the enemy is too strong, and launching an uprising is just sending the comrades to death in vain. If you want to start an uprising, you have to do it where the enemy's power is weakest. ”

"Is Wen Qing still going to launch an uprising in Anhui as he said before?"

Chen Ke did not directly answer Chen Tianhua's question, he said solemnly: "Xingtai, I want to emphasize the difference between the people's revolution and the bourgeois revolution. The uprising of the people's revolution is not that we want to start an uprising and then drive the people to die for us. The uprising of the people's revolution is that the people themselves have lost their patience and want to rise up against the old system. What we have to do is to connect with the masses and then lead the masses to confront each other and build a bright new world. This is what we are going to die first. So don't talk about an uprising if you're not prepared. Otherwise, you are irresponsible to yourself, not only to die yourself, but also to let a large group of people die with you. It's not right to do that. ”

Seeing that Chen Tianhua didn't understand what he was saying, Chen Ke continued: "Regarding the uprising, let's discuss it after we have completed this big lecture and everyone has accumulated theoretical knowledge." If you are full of thoughts about inciting people to revolt during the big lecture, you will deviate from the original purpose of the big lecture. ”

"Isn't this big lecture held by the Wenqing for the sake of the revolution?" Chen Tianhua is even stranger.

"Revolution is about saving people. After taking this big lecture and popularizing knowledge, the people who listened to this lecture could also make some profits. This in itself is part of the social revolution. The purpose of the revolution is to promote the progress of the country, and this is the ultimate goal. The purpose of this activity is to gather comrades through this big lecture. The matter of the uprising was not considered at all. ”

Seeing that everyone had no objections, Chen Ke announced the adjournment of the meeting.

The next week can be said to be the most interesting week Chen Tianhua has ever had. Although I have all kinds of questions in my heart, my life is very fulfilling. There wasn't so much reason and not so much discontent from all the people around. In addition to the hectic work is also the hectic work.

Chen Tianhua finally understood why the comrades in the party always had to follow Chen Ke, who had been working in person in addition to arranging work, and always picking the most difficult work. When setting up the venue, Chen Ke always chooses to carry the table and stools, which are the things that contribute the most. After the lecture, Du Zhenghui and other peripheral comrades were still immersed in the excitement of the course, and when the course content was discussed, Chen Ke was the first to roll up his sleeves and clean up the venue. inspected the venue and found that it was still Chen Ke who solved all kinds of small problems. It seems that wherever Chen Ke goes, there will be a job. And Chen Ke always solves these things as if nothing happened. The whole lecture went smoothly.

After the busy day, Chen Ke worked almost all night to write manuscripts at night, and the next morning, when Chen Tianhua woke up, the neat manuscript was already on the table. Chen Ke and his clothes lay on the recliner next to him and slept. What Chen Tianhua has to do is to read these manuscripts, discuss with Chen Ke if there is something he doesn't understand, and if there are no other problems, Chen Tianhua will revise the manuscript and change the manuscript into a language that ordinary people can understand. There were arguments, but there were no quarrels. Everything can be talked about in person, not hidden.

Not just for a day or two, during the week of You Wei's lectures, Chen Ke never took off his clothes and slept except for bathing once a day in the morning and evening.

What makes Chen Tianhua even more strange is that the comrades are not surprised by this. Because they were also busy, You Wei offered to help, but Chen Ke asked You Wei to concentrate on practicing and lecturing. As long as he has free time, Chen Ke will come to see You Wu's preparation class with He Zudao and Zhou Yuanxiao. He Zudao asked questions about what he didn't understand, and Chen Ke commented on You Yu's lecture demeanor. Although Zhou Yuanxiao still doesn't like to talk, he occasionally puts forward some opinions.

Hua Xiongmao and Qi Huishen are busy every day, and they are basically not visible. Every time I came back, I either brought money with me, or carried a thick "Huangpu River Review". Qi Huishen heard a word and led by example. These BJP comrades are leading by example, and the young people who help from the periphery are also lazy at first, but soon feel embarrassed. Within a few days, the whole team's work ethos changed a lot. As the lecture progressed day by day, not only did everyone not slack off, on the contrary, they were a little more energetic.

There are quite a few young people who have seen this, and young people who have taken the initiative to join have also begun to appear.

This is really something that Chen Tianhua has never seen before, a team and organization so vibrant, so infectious.

Until the seventh day of the lecture, before someone came to make a scene, Chen Tianhua even thought that the lecture would go on in such a smooth and orderly manner.
