Chen Ke counted the members of the Huangpu Publishing House, a total of 127. This outward bound training is not compulsory. After spending 10 minutes of teaching and training, everyone was finally able to report the number according to Chen Ke's order.

“1”

“2”

“3”

……

……

“15”

The first row finally finished counting.

"Have you eaten? Why does it sound the same as a mosquito's hum? Report it again. Chen Ke's voice was not harsh. The young people in the front row are better, and many young people in the back row are still talking and laughing.

After a burst of laughter, the counting did not begin. Chen Ke roared in a loud voice, "Start counting the numbers." All the young people were shocked, and the smile that looked at Chen Ke obviously faded a little. The students in the first row began to count again.

Discipline and obedience start with normalization, and cohort training is only the first step. And this first step took an hour, and these students were able to form a ten-by-eleven phalanx.

It took another half an hour to teach everyone to walk with their left foot first.

Aligning to the left, aligning to the right, it took another half an hour.

The phalanx advanced together, and after walking less than ten meters, the original platoon, which could still be called a neat queue, began to disperse.

Chen Ke was not discouraged, according to those memoirs, in order to train the Red Army from the peasants, it would take a long time to turn to the left and to the right. In today's military training, the performance of the students has been very good. Military training is never a short-term process, and even the most basic training lasts for several days. What's more, today is only one day.

When the sheep-like queue reached the specified position, Chen Ke ran over as usual, instructed everyone to reline and start training again.

More than three hours passed quickly. Everyone was also visibly tired, and Chen Ke shouted, "Disband." The students dispersed as if they had been granted amnesty.

Military training is by no means an easy thing, and after this command alone, Chen Ke felt uncomfortable in his throat. Seeing that the young people hid in a shady place to rest, Chen Ke wiped the sweat from his forehead.

But not long after, everyone's eyes fell on a place that was not noticed, Chen Ke turned his head, and saw that Yan Fu was still in the same clothes as when he saw him last time, standing there watching everyone. Chen Ke has been concentrating on military training, and he doesn't know when Yan Fu came. This was a bit of a surprise, and Chen Ke reflected on his answer this morning, but didn't come up with any problems. Since this is the case, Chen Ke does not play any clichés. It's just a simple greeting.

"Wen Qing is training?" Yan Fu asked, his attention was not on Chen Ke, but on the group of young people.

"How can it be, it's just a little military training, so that everyone has some organizational discipline." Chen Ke couldn't see any emotion on Yan Fu's face. But looking at Yan Fu's eyes looking at the young people was very special, as if he was observing the effect of military training. Chen Ke suddenly remembered that Yan Fu himself was not a simple literati. Although in later generations, Yan Fu's most famous title was "The Theory of Heavenly Evolution", an intellectual who introduced Western studies to China. But Yan Fu himself really worked in the Beiyang Sailor Academy for many years, and finally became the principal. As for military training, Yan Fu is by no means a layman. Thinking of this, Chen Ke didn't dare to say anything, and stood beside Yan Fu and waited for Yan Fu to speak.

Yan Fu retracted his gaze, and then asked, "Wen Qing has been in the army?" ”

"Nope."

"Is today the first day of military training?"

"This is military training, not military training." Chen Ke corrected again.

Yan Fu nodded slightly, "It's commendable to be able to practice like this on the first day." ”

Chen Ke didn't want the old-timer to judge the fruits of his hard work. Although Yan Fu doesn't seem to have any malicious intentions, God knows where it will go if he continues to evaluate like this.

"Mr. Yan, are you here today, are you passing by?"

"No, since Wen Qing refuses to see him, I have to come and visit in person." Yan Fu said with a smile.

"It's really going on today." Chen Ke said calmly.

"I talked about the pharmaceutical factory last time, and I have already talked to Shanghai Daotai. He wanted Wen Qing to go to Hankou to treat a few patients. ”

"I can only treat patients in the first and second phases of this medicine, I don't know what Mr. Yan knows." Chen Ke hurriedly said.

"I read what Wenqing printed and know a little bit about it. I also brought one with me when I went. After seeing it, the Shanghai Daotai said that it should be curable. ”

"This medicine is poisonous, I'm afraid it will heal the dead." Chen Ke hurriedly added.

"Haha, Wen Qing is really cautious. You have said it several times in the "Huangpu Review". The dojo definitely saw it. I originally meant to push this medicine into the Nanyang and Beiyang sailors. As a result, Yuan wanted us to help him first. This matter must trouble Wen Qing to come forward. ”

"I can't leave. How about sending a competent man to do this? ”

"Yes, too."

"Do you want to go see that Lord Yuan first?"

"No need. Daotai has already handed over someone to handle this matter, and Wen Qing can send someone to find this person. ”

"I'll arrange it now. Please wait, Mr. Yan. After speaking, Chen Ke walked quickly towards the construction site.

This is a good opportunity, and the places that need the special medicine are mainly port cities these days. Wherever foreigners go, this evil disease spreads. Chen Ke originally wanted to discuss with Hua Xiongmao and sent Dr. Wang Qinian to go. If Wang Qinian is sent, who will take Wang Qinian's place? A name suddenly popped up, Chen Ke couldn't help but slow down, and finally Chen Ke simply turned his head and walked towards Mao Ping.

"You and I." Chen Ke said to Mao Ping.

Mao Ping was quite excited when he heard Chen Ke's idea of asking Mao Ping to go to Hankou for treatment, firstly, because he was able to work for Mr. Chen, whom he respected very much, and secondly, because he was able to show his professional skills. Both reasons made Mao Ping feel high-spirited. "Mr. Wenqing, I will definitely do this well."

"I believe in you." Chen Ke said categorically.

The two talked about Mao Ping's medical skills along the way, and soon found Hua Xiongmao, and Chen Ke told him about it. Hua Xiongmao looked at Mao Ping, and saw that Mao Ping looked back at him with firm eyes, and seemed to be quite confident in handling this matter. Only then did he nod, "Wen Qing, then you want me to take Mao Ping to see Dr. Wang?" ”

"We can't be entirely in charge of this. You tell Dr. Wang that today's patient injections are all done by Mao Ping. Dr. Wang was on the side to guide. As soon as he was free, let Mao Ping read the medical records well. Chen Ke said to Hua Xiongmao.

After speaking, Chen Ke turned to Mao Ping again, "Read the medical records carefully and see how the patients reacted during the use of this medicine." What to do. I'll only give you two days today and tomorrow, and I'll do it well. ”

"I will definitely not disappoint Mr. Chen."

Watching Mao Ping and Hua Xiongmao leave together, Chen Ke explained his work to Qin Wu'an again, and then ran back to reply to Yan Fu about the matter. The two decided that tomorrow afternoon, let the person in charge of this matter go to Yan Fu, and Yan Fu will introduce this person to see Yuan Shufan.

After the matter was explained, Chen Ke looked at Yan Fu and said a little embarrassedly: "Mr. Yan, there is no place to eat around here, I will take everyone to cook together today." Mr. Yan, are you coming along, or are you going to do something? ”

"Wen Qing wants to take everyone to cook in person?" Yan Fu was a little strange. In Yan Fu's opinion, Chen Ke is also the president of the society, so naturally someone else has prepared food and sent it over, but he didn't expect Chen Ke to work in person.

"The top and bottom are one. As the president of the school, I ran away when I got a job, so how can everyone look up to me. Chen Ke said casually. For Chen Ke, this is just the most basic work attitude, even in the 21st century, Chen Ke has seen many provincial party level cadres, in addition to personally directing the layout of the venue, for a national reception meeting, but also personally lifting tables and chairs. After receiving a batch of printed materials, the vice president of the mobile company squatted on the ground at the door and checked the leaflets one by one. Although after the vice president checked these jobs, he immediately drove impatiently to eat and drink with everyone. However, this kind of quality of work is by no means comparable to the kind of people who encounter sloppiness and slackness in their work.

This is the party's tradition. Before the founding of the People's Republic of China, in the face of a harsh environment, the party absolutely carried out the role of party members in taking the lead. Even after the reform and opening up, when encountering a moment of crisis, party members still stood up. Before the catastrophe, you can definitely see those figures that you would not normally see in the most dangerous places. That's the power of organization.

Chen Ke himself was able to be recognized by everyone, because he never evaded his responsibilities and never engaged in any special treatment. Cooking and eating with everyone, Chen Ke felt that it was really a normal thing.

Yan Fu doesn't see it that way, as an intellectual educated in a hierarchical privileged society. Yan Fu felt that it was natural to get all kinds of privileges. As a principal, if you eat with the students, it is obviously not in line with your status. But he was already able to determine that Chen Ke had the intention of rebelling, and as a rebel, if he could not get the general support of the people below, it would be a dead end. Chen Ke did this not without precedent, and there have been too many rebels in China's history books who recruited wings in this way. Chen Ke did this, Yan Fu thought it was good. He smiled: "I didn't know that Wen Qing could cook, so I would have to bother." ”

"I'll do my best." Chen Ke is not polite.

"Comrades, start cooking." Chen Ke shouted loudly. The people who heard this turned their faces to look at Chen Ke.

Ingredients such as pots, rice, vegetables, salt, and soy sauce have already been prepared. Shovels, firewood and other equipment have also been prepared. Chen Ke asked the students to form groups according to the queue of ten people in a row. Start assigning tasks to the teams. Young people like to be lively together, not to mention this sudden picnic. In addition, after a morning of drills, the young people were hungry, and it was really laughter for a while.

Someone is responsible for carrying water, someone is responsible for washing rice, washing vegetables, Chen Ke personally led people to dig stoves and bury pots, and Yan Fu stood by and watched. Everyone was assigned a task, and everyone was busy. Although the students looked at them with longing in their eyes, in such an environment, no one ran to talk to them regardless of the crowd. It's really rare. Chen Ke's organizational skills made Yan Fu very satisfied.

There was a lot of strength in numbers, and it didn't take too long for the dishes to be fried, and the cauldron of steamed rice was steaming white. Chen Ke did not let the students move freely, but asked everyone to line up again and sit down neatly.

"I want to ask you a question. It's about to be served. How can we divide today's meal evenly? How can we make everyone believe that the meal is evenly divided. ”

This question is really interesting. The crowd never thought about how they could do this.

"Whoever has a suggestion, raise his hand to speak."

Everyone looked at each other, don't look at this trivial matter of sharing meals, if you really want to divide it evenly, you have to make everyone believe that it is not easy. After a while, a student raised his hand, and Chen Ke knew that this classmate's name was An Rushan, and he was a student at Fudan Public School. "Elect someone that everyone can agree with."

Chen Ke asked An Rushan to sit down, and then said: "There are so many of us, and we may not know each other, how can we elect people that everyone can recognize?" And more than 100 of us, waiting for you to be elected, it will take three hours, right? Let's have dinner. ”

The students below burst into laughter, and An Rushan made a big red face.

Seeing that no one dared to continue talking, Chen Ke smiled: "This meal will be ready in a while." I can't think of a way, I can't let everyone eat. I came to outward bound training once, but I had a grudge after the trouble, and I didn't do this kind of thing. ”

Another student raised his hand, his name was Lu Huitian, also from Fudan Public School. "We're looking for a couple of people to supervise the cooking. Very strict rules are set. For example, there should be a rule for how much each bowl of rice should contain. Speaking of this, Lu Huitian suddenly had a new idea, "Let's make a rod scale and weigh each bowl." When other students heard this suggestion, some thought it was acceptable, while others thought it was nonsense. Someone was already shouting, "I'll starve to death when you're done." Immediately there was another burst of laughter.

Waiting for Lu Huitian to sit down with a red face, Chen Ke asked, "Do you think this meal can be absolutely fair?" Not bad at all? ”

Most of the students had disbelief on their faces.

"None of us are immortals, and we can't be absolutely average. The reason why we can't accept unevenness is that we can't accept the subjective intention of giving more to ourselves or the people we like. As long as it is not subjectively deliberate, objectively sharing the meal, it will inevitably produce a little more of this and a little less of that. I think everyone can accept this subtle difference. ”

After listening to Chen Ke's class, everyone understood the words "subjective" and "objective". The students nodded their heads.

"If we find someone to be responsible for sharing the meal, it will soon become clear that this person has the most for himself, which is human nature. So let's change another person, and everyone will still find that the person who presides over the rice distribution has the most best rice in the bowl. Everyone felt that this method would not work, so they took turns to preside over the distribution of meals, one day per person. This is tantamount to acknowledging that individuals have the right to share more for themselves, and at the same time giving everyone the opportunity to share more for themselves. It seems to be equal, but what? Today we have only one chance, and immediately there is a contradiction. Or, elect a trustworthy person to preside over the meal. Not to mention how long it takes to choose this person, even if this person with excellent morality can still be basically fair, he doesn't give himself more points, but because of face, he will give more points to people with good relationships. Still unfair. ”

After saying this, Chen Ke looked at the steaming steam on the steaming rice cauldron, and then at his watch, "This rice is about to be cooked, why are we still chattering about this issue here." Well, if we don't come up with the charter quickly, we're going to starve. ”

The students burst into laughter again.

"Mr. Chen, do you have any methods?"

"Yes, according to what you said, it's not fair to divide it. How can we make everyone feel fair? ”

Everyone shouted. Everyone's interest was really aroused, and seeing Chen Ke's confident appearance, it seemed that he must have an excellent method. Chen Ke has already rejected all other ideas, so what method can Chen Ke come up with? Everyone, including Yan Fu, was full of curiosity.

"It's simple. We don't have to pick any people of high moral standing or supervision. First, find three people and divide the rice in the pot into eleven large portions. Then the three men went to the side and waited. Each team, find a random person, draw lots, pick a large portion in order, and then divide this large portion into ten small portions. Then they can go and wait. Then, everyone went up to get the food themselves, and the last rest was left to these people who shared the food. ”

The clever people had already understood what Chen Ke meant, and they had already begun to applaud. If you don't understand it, you pull the person who understands and ask for an explanation. "Anyway, I don't know who will be cheaper in the end, and if the food is uneven, they will definitely eat the least. Naturally, the person who divides the meal will share it very seriously. And we know that we're going to leave the least for the food. Naturally, I will feel that the points are reasonable. When asked, people excitedly explained.

This principle is very simple, and everyone understands it as soon as they hear it. Everyone was sighing at such a simple truth, how could they not have thought of it. I don't know who applauded first, and in a moment, more than a hundred students began to applaud. Everyone admired Chen Ke's knowledge very much, and this incident made everyone feel a kind of sincere admiration. Everyone wants to be fair, and everyone feels wronged. The biggest advantage of Chen Ke's method is that it ensures fairness to the greatest extent. For this kind of wit, everyone really admires it. The dissatisfaction with Chen Ke, which had accumulated after three hours of drilling, had completely disappeared at this time.

Even Yan Fu couldn't help but applaud softly. After Chen Ke raised this question, Yan Fu was thinking about how to divide it well. The methods that Chen Ke later summarized, Yan Fu had already thought about it. It's not fair enough, but it's hard for everyone to admit that they've been treated fairly. Chen Ke's method, everyone can accept objective unfairness, but the subjective sense of unfairness has completely disappeared. Yan Fu has been an official for many years, and he has experienced too many struggles with unpredictable people's hearts. The three armies can win the commandery, but the horseman cannot win the ambition. It's too difficult to convince someone, and Chen Ke has such a simple method, at least in the matter of sharing meals, which has never been entangled, which can't help but make Yan Fu admire.

"Students, stop yelling. Whoever wants to volunteer to serve everyone, stand up. Chen Ke didn't want everyone to be so noisy, he was hungry too.
