Yan Fu almost asked about the fiscal policy, and his head was still dizzy after he came out of Chen Ke's office. Since he had not been able to recover from the financial world structured by Chen Ke in a short period of time, Yan Fu felt that this world seemed to be different, and everyone around him seemed to have a different amount of RMB on their heads. In such a twisted world, Yan Fu felt the need to go to an environment that could relieve such stress.

The People's Party's normal school is now basically all girls, and the reason why I say "basic" is because Shen Zengzhi and Feng Xu have moved from the barracks to the normal school. The two old men are not young, and they have always been square. After Yan Fu vouched for the two, Chen Ke personally approved the note. The two Jiangnan geniuses moved into the normal school. Feng Xu is currently the director of the Museum of Culture and History and the head of the editorial team of Xinhua Dictionary.

Although Shen Zengzhi was unwilling to be a "puppet official", for the sake of Yan Fu's face, Shen Zengzhi temporarily served as the director of the "People's Library". After conquering several cities, the People's Party did not take much money, but moved all the files of the local yamen. Chen Ke felt that in the future, there would be a lot of war, and it was completely unrealistic to expect those future warlords to protect the archives. Therefore, the People's Party took these archives away and kept them. In the "People's Library" managed by Shen Zengzhi, most of the piles are archives from all over the world. The archives are built directly on the campus of the Normal School. However, Chen Ke said that after a while, the archives will be relocated to the city of Shouzhou. Although Shen Zengzhi was skeptical, he was temporarily settled.

As soon as I entered the house, I saw Feng Xu and Shen Zengzhi surrounded by a pile of "Kangxi Dictionary", discussing the issue of words and interpretation.

"A few brothers are here." The two talented men saw Yan Fu and hurriedly made room for him. After Yan Fu sat down, looking at the stacks of books and the thick manuscripts in front of the two, he couldn't help but feel relaxed.

"How's the pinyin and radical query editing?" Yan replied.

"Is this Chen Ke obviously looking down on southerners?" Shen Zengzhi was quite dissatisfied with this, "This new pinyin pronunciation is very different from the southern pronunciation, let alone the same as the ancient pronunciation. ”

Feng Xu was more supportive of Chen Ke, he said: "Brother Shen, I think the history of Chinese pronunciation evolution written by Chen Ke is good......

Shen Zengzhi didn't accept these explanations at all, he said angrily: "Then how old is Chen Ke, and making up nonsense there is regarded as his own reason." He kept saying that if there was no investigation, he would not have the right to speak, did he Chen Ke investigate it himself? He's just playing the piano. After criticizing Chen Ke in Chen Ke's words, Shen Zengzhi added a sentence at the end, "Chen Ke, this kid actually dares to write a book to ridicule us." ”

Seeing Shen Zengzhi's angry appearance, Yan Fu and Feng Xu glanced at each other, and they couldn't help but smile on their faces. In order to cooperate with the editing of the "Xinhua Dictionary", Chen Ke also wrote a joking essay called "The War of the Little Seal". This article, which is plagiarized from the 21st century "Prince Ma", is quite cleverly conceived in the cut of historical events, quoting quite a lot of allusions, and the content is quite spicy. Yan Fu and Feng Xu both have a deep foundation in ancient literature and history, and they can't help but laugh when they read it. Feng Xu said with a smile, "This Chen Wenqing is too unkind. And Shen Zengzhi not only didn't laugh after seeing it, but was furious.

Yan Fu and Feng Xu both knew Shen Zengzhi's thoughts, Chen Ke's article was very polite, in the process of mentioning the promotion of words, Chen Ke borrowed Li Si's ideas to mention the promotion steps, "First, come up with a plan to simplify the word. 2. Extend it to 36 counties in the world. 3. Kill all the naysayers. This arrogant statement is enough to show Chen Ke's attitude. Moreover, Chen Ke actually mapped the "book burning and pit Confucianism" as the self-inflicted humiliation caused by Confucianism's rebellion against the new culture, and Confucianism was simply a rat crossing the street, which was unanimously opposed by all parties. This blatant contempt and threat towards the literati class, especially towards Confucianism, was the real reason for Shen Zengzhi's dissatisfaction.

"Chairman Chen has decided today to revise the first draft of the Xinhua Dictionary, and if there are no typos, it will be ready for publication." Yan Fu suddenly remembered this stubble.

"So fast?" Feng Xu was a little surprised.

"Dictionaries are just reference books, as long as they're right. The incomplete part was later revised on a large scale. Dictionaries are not for readers, but for ordinary people. Yan Fu said. After finishing speaking, he suddenly felt that his speech was not quite right, which was obviously Chen Ke's usual attitude. The idea of being completely practical and popularized as the core is completely contrary to the kind of "plan for the world" that the literati almost implemented in their bones.

Shen Zengzhi immediately objected, and his reason boiled down to three words: "not rigorous". Yan Fu looked at Feng Xu, and Feng Xu, the head of the editorial team of "Xinhua Dictionary", nodded to Yan Fu secretly. Yan Fu made an excuse and left the office. Shen Zengzhi's words are not unreasonable, the key is that they are not practical.

After reading the satirical article "The War of the Little Seal", Shen Zengzhi's "literati style" was completely stimulated, and he not only did not resign from the post of deputy head of the editorial team of "Xinhua Dictionary", but doubled down on the truth. The Xinhua Dictionary is not only a text, but also a paraphrase of the corresponding words in the "vernacular", and Shen Zengzhi's annotations on the meanings of these words are rigorous and must not be "misunderstood".

However, as it is said in "The War of the Little Seal", "If it is handed over to scholars, they will first consult a large number of ancient books and classics, and then examine and analyze them one by one, cross-reference, and publish a series of papers, and none of them can be omitted in sound, shape, and meaning, and each word must not only conform to the original intention of Cangjie, but also take into account the traditions of three generations." The increase and reduction of strokes are all evidenced, and culture needs to be inherited, which can not be sloppy. Optimistically, it is estimated that the entire project will be completed by the time of Qin VIII or Qin IX. ”

Chen Ke wanted it to be popularized in large-scale compulsory education immediately, and it had to be finalized before the large-scale production of paper from wheat straw in the base areas. Shen Zengzhi's attitude is certainly meritorious, but the way to do things is obviously nonsense. If it weren't for Shen Zengzhi's tossing, in fact, half a month's money for the first draft would have been basically determined. Yan Fu and Feng Xu didn't want Shen Zengzhi to suffer, if Chen Ke knew about Shen Zengzhi's performance, of course he wouldn't burn Shen Zengzhi like what was said in "Little Seal War", but he would definitely kick Shen Zengzhi out of the editorial team. Yan Fu and Feng Xu both felt that if a talent like Shen Zengzhi could not contribute to the project of "Xinhua Dictionary", it would be a pity for the dictionary editing work and Shen Zengzhi himself.

After leaving the dictionary editor's office, Yan Fu moved to the back of the school. Behind the school building is the peanut field opened by the school, and the female students are working in the field, and the peanut seedlings are growing well. Seeing Yan Fu passing by, the students straightened their waists one by one and saluted. If Yan Fu was usual, he nodded and passed. Not wanting to do that today, he stopped and asked, "How is it in the field?" ”

The female student named Huang Yuyue replied cautiously: "The flower growth is good, and there will be fewer people to manage it in the future." ”

For some reason, this sentence made Yan Fu feel very good, and he couldn't help but ask, "How much manpower can be reduced." ”

Huang Yuyue replied cautiously: "We asked the old gentleman who taught farming, and he said that only half of the people before were enough. ”

The "old gentleman" mentioned by this female student is an old dealer who was specially invited to teach peanuts from the base, and since he said so, I think it is right. "Very good," Yan Fu was sure that something was finally on track within his jurisdiction, and he couldn't help but smile on his face, whether it was finance, dictionary work, or education work, countless things needed to be done. After listening to Chen Ke's introduction of the complex financial system, Yan Fu's mood became worse. But looking at the young man's diligent and cautious attitude, Yan Fu felt that these troubles had suddenly alleviated a lot. No matter how many theories, how many visions and prospects there are, if you can't start from the basics, nothing will change.

"Let's just do it." Yan Fu explained. Then he strode in the direction of his office.

Yan Fu just listened to the complicated financial system, and his mood could become extremely bad. However, Chen Ke, who presided over the creation of this financial system, did not fluctuate. In other words, Chen Kexian's heart was as unmoved as iron and stone. After Yan Fu went out, Chen Ke immediately called the comrades who accompanied Yue Wanghui. Comrades of the People's Commissariat of Internal Affairs began to report on their observations of the Yue Wang Society.

All the power of the People's Party is used to penetrate the countryside everywhere, and the same is true in Hefei. For the petty thieves in the rural areas of Hefei, the local troops of the People's Party can definitely be easily eliminated. For the government or political party forces, Hefei City must be their preferred target. In Chen Ke's view, there is no need to stick to Hefei City at this stage. Hefei City is actually a bait and a stage, allowing all parties to fully jump out and perform. After the People's Party took control of the countryside, and the enemies in the shadows showed themselves on the stage, it was much easier to clean up this group of people.

So Chen Ke didn't care whether Hefei City would be lost, he cared about the safety of the first 300 comrades in Hefei City. King Yue will have more than 1,000 troops, and if they want to seize Hefei City, the People's Party will definitely suffer a lot of manpower losses. Therefore, it is necessary to judge the thoughts of the Yue Wang Club and formulate the corresponding safety plan.

In the report, Chen Duxiu's performance was decent, and he did not have a particularly fierce attitude towards the People's Party. This is not easy to judge, after thinking about it, Chen Ke asked: "Comrade Zhou Zhizhong, are you willing to go to Hefei to be our liaison with Yue Wanghui." ”

"Huh?" Zhou Zhizhong was a little puzzled by Chen Ke's order.

"To put it bluntly, it is to monitor the movements of the Yue Wang Society. They're used to being in the city, and they can't stand it if they are kept away from it. Instead of making the people of the Yue Wang Association dissatisfied, it is better to divide a piece of land for them outside Hefei City. This requires a liaison. The best-case scenario is that the grassroots of the Yue Wanghui gradually accepted the program of the people's revolution and became our comrades. I'm generally not so optimistic about the top. Comrade Zhou Zhizhong, you happen to have dealt with the high-level of the Yue Wang Association, do you think this job is acceptable? ”

There was a burst of excitement in the Zhou Zhi Center, and the People's Internal Affairs Committee was not only a department that presided over internal discipline and suppressed counterrevolutionaries, but also one of the responsibilities of this department to carry out espionage and infiltration work with the outside world. The work of infiltrating the Yue Wang Club was actually handed over to himself, and Zhou Zhizhong was excited and nervous. His voice trembled slightly, "Chairman Chen, I will definitely do a good job." ”

After determining the work in Hefei, Chen Ke called Lin Shenhe, "Comrade Lin Shenhe, have the preparations for Lu'an County been done?" ”

Lin Shenhe handed over a roster, "This is the local party we contacted, and they verbally supported us to enter Lu'an County." But, Chairman Chen, do we now have enough troops to enter the Dabie Mountains? ”

At the meeting of the Central Committee of the People's Party, Chen Ke put forward a plan for the development of the Dabie Mountain Base Area in the coming year. In the face of this plan, the comrades of the Central Committee did not enthusiastically support it. The Dabie Mountains cover a vast area, but the living conditions are harsh, and the local people are very poor. Compared with the existing base areas, the Dabie Mountain area can be said to be a typical example of "large investment and slow results".

Naturally, Chen Ke could not use the famous "Dabie Mountain Base Area" in later generations to persuade his comrades, so no one opposed Chen Ke's plan, and no one took the initiative to ask to undertake work in this regard. Chen Ke knew that there was no way to do this, and now that the base areas were rapidly expanding, the problem of the lack of cadres in the People's Party became prominent. Moreover, the oldest cadre of the People's Party, who has only worked for a year, is now in short supply. It is unjustifiable to leave the rich areas without building them, and put precious human resources in the poor and remote areas.

Not only did the comrades of the Party Central Committee not support it, but even Lin Shenhe, who had always followed Chen Ke closely, expressed doubts.

Chen Ke said angrily: "If there are not enough people, then send fewer people." If there are not enough troops, then the party will be launched. In general, although the Dabie Mountains are poor, they have their own benefits. Wherever the economy is backward, all kinds of social contradictions will become more intense. The people redoubled their hopes for liberation. ”

Chen Ke has not studied much about the history of the revolution. One of the reasons why the Hubei-Henan-Anhui base area in the Dabie Mountains can make Chen Ke care so much is that his ancestors were sacrificed in the Dabie Mountains. Moreover, the banking and financial work in the Dabie Mountains has been very good. At that time, the population of the Dabie Mountain Base Area was more than 3 million, and a force of more than 40,000 people was formed. Many of the counties are red counties, general counties. Chen Ke was absolutely unwilling to let go of this kind of revolutionary area that had been proven by history. Historically, there were 45,000 troops in the Hubei-Henan-Anhui base area, and Chen Ke could definitely transfer 20,000 of them to the current Huaibei to fight. With a force of this size, the military strength of the entire Huaibei base area will certainly be greatly improved. Even for the sake of the 20,000 Red Army, Chen Ke believed that it was necessary to open up the Dabie Mountain base area.

However, this cannot be said now, and if it were to be said, the comrades who went to work in Dabie Mountain would easily change their goal to recruit soldiers instead of carrying out revolutionary work. Therefore, Chen Ke could only pin his hopes on the work performance of his comrades.

Although Lin Shenhe didn't know why Chen Ke paid so much attention to the construction of the Dabie Mountain base area, he had always followed Chen Ke's command closely. He saw that his advice was not accepted by Chen Ke, so he put all his ideas on the position of doing the best work. "According to our survey, these parties are relatively unreliable. Many of them are linked to bandits in the Dabie Mountain area. ”

The bandits in the Dabie Mountains are very famous, and due to the outbreak of floods, the bandits are no longer active in the disaster areas around Anhui for the time being. According to intelligence, a large part of them have now fled to Henan and Hubei. However, it will not be long before these people reappear around the Anhui base area. Lin Shenhe thought of this, and felt that it was not a bad choice to open up the Dabie Mountain base area. With a base area in the mountains, it is possible to effectively deal with bandits. The people of the mountains are at odds with the people of the plains. The plains considered the people of the mountains to be poor and barbaric. The people of the mountains thought that the people of the plains were mercenary. After the bandits robbed something, they ran to the mountainous area and gave the people a share of what they had robbed, and they were often able to get the support of the people in the mountainous area. The officers and soldiers often suppressed bandits, but they always had no effect. Now that the base area is getting richer, if it is looted by bandits, its losses will be much greater.

Chen Ke listened to the report and felt a little scratching his head. He has always lived on the plains, and has only seen the mountains occasionally, but he has no idea about the specific situation. There is also very little discussion about the mountains on the Internet, and he doesn't even have anything to learn from. At this time, Chen Ke had no choice but to reluctantly say: "No matter what, the number of local tyrants and bullies in the mountains is actually more than in the plains. It's a matter of troops, and we have to have a reliable force to get there. ”

Seeing that Chen Ke said something very rarely, Lin Shenhe asked tentatively: "Chairman Chen, why don't you let the people of the Yue Wang Association go to the Dabie Mountain Area?" ”

"Huh?" This suggestion lifted Chen Ke's spirits. Although the idea is a little absurd, if more than 1,000 people from the Yue Wang Society can enter the Dabie Mountain area, this is really a very good thing.

"Chairman Chen, what the people of the Yue Wang Society want most now is territory. If they are released in Hefei, I dare say, sooner or later they will have to figure something out. Instead of this, we should tell Yue Wanghui that we will help them go to the Dabie Mountains. The site is jointly operated by everyone. King Yue will definitely have some people who oppose it and some people who support it. Then in any case, these people will be separated. In this way, as long as some people follow us to Dabie Mountain, King Yue will be a much less threat to us. And as long as we can make good use of it, some of them will choose to join our team. It's a little easier to do that. ”
