Zhang Xiuhua feared that the crackdown on crime would become the kind of murder that occurred in the early days of the camp, and You Xiu understands. In fact, it is not that there is no such opinion at the party meeting.

The hardliners led by Xiong Mingyang said, "You have to establish rules." The original "Internal Affairs Force" was a temporary organization, and the selection of hardliners did some ruthless work under the leadership of Hua Xiongmao and Chai Qingguo. When the insurance group was expanded, the temporary organization was disbanded. But this group is still a hardliner in the party. If it weren't for the fact that Hua Xiongmao, the leader at the time, was now the actual leader of the army, I am afraid that these people would have become a certain faction by now.

You Wei and Hua Xiongmao have a good official and personal relationship, and they can be regarded as very friendly, so she doesn't think about it so much. Looking at Zhang Xiuhua's panicked and anxious look, You Yu did not comfort her, on the contrary, she asked: "Comrade Zhang Xiuhua, I want to ask you a question, do you want to join the People's Party?" ”

"Huh?" Zhang Xiuhua didn't expect You Yu to ask such a question at all. In the conversation between the two of them, You Gou introduced the specific situation of the People's Party, and according to You Gou, the insurance group was only a subordinate of the People's Party. In Fengtai County, the People's Party is the real master. The leaders of the insurance regiment and the camped areas where the disaster victims were in high positions, and even the county magistrate Shang Yuan, were all members of the People's Party. Only members of the BJP can be leaders......

Thinking of this, Zhang Xiuhua suddenly had an idea, if he can become a member of the People's Party, then he is likely to be able to rescue his younger brother. The despair in his eyes suddenly turned into hope, Zhang Xiuhua looked at the beautiful Danfeng eyes, but suddenly shuddered. There was not the slightest smile on You You's face, there was not the slightest emotion, that was the expression that You Wei only had when he was completely businesslike. It is also Zhang Xiuhua's most fearful expression.

"It's not about letting your brother out at all. If you don't join the People's Party, you have to let your brother out. You Yu's voice was cold.

"Mr. You, are you going to kill someone this time?" Zhang Xiuhua plucked up the courage to ask. That's what she cares about most.

"I'm not going to kill anyone, and as for your brother, I definitely won't kill you. You can rest assured. You replied.

Hearing this, Zhang Xiuhua's heart that had been hanging finally put in his stomach. She let out a sigh of relief from her chest.

You Wei continued: "This time the matter is a little untimely, but even if Comrade Zhang Xiuhua does not come, I will go to you to talk about this matter in the next two days." ”

"Arrest my brother?" Zhang Xiuhua couldn't help but shudder.

"Haha!" You Yu was amused, "It's not about arresting your brother, it's about asking if you want to join the party." ”

The People's Party has always faced a great dilemma, which Chen Ke repeatedly mentioned at the party meeting. But it is clear that there is no good way to solve it. The problem is that in Fengtai County, the system formed by the People's Party is not considered a legitimate regime. Chinese most justifiable matter, an important reason why the party was able to establish local power in 1927 was that China did not have a recognized political system at that time. The bald regime was only later recognized internationally, and the bald head was only one of many local regimes at home.

It was now 1906 instead of 1927, the recognized national power still existed, the crumbling Manchu Qing was still the recognized national power, and the People's Party and its insurance regiment were majestic in Fengtai County, even if they could break the siege and force the landlords to temporarily hand over the land, which had not been seen for a thousand years, but this new regime was still not recognized by the people as a legitimate regime.

Without legitimacy, there is no support from the masses. There is a term in politics called the "silent majority", and silence has a meaning of "not resisting", in other words, supporting. If the majority of the masses are silent about the actions of the regime, in other words, they agree with the existence of the regime. It is very rare for the people to take the initiative to shout in support of a certain regime. And the underlying real implication of such a clear statement is that the people will oppose the existence of another society by supporting one regime.

Now the People's Party does not have the support of the people of Fengtai County because the people of Fengtai County do not accept the ruling position of the People's Party. The People's Party is also anxious about this issue, and after all this work, it still cannot become a legitimate political power. Many comrades have long been disgruntled.

These comrades never imagined that the revolutionary work would be so arduous. Leaving Shanghai, China's largest metropolis, and running to such a poor and remote country, these comrades rushed to be able to quickly launch a revolution with the support of the county commander Shangyuan. No matter how you look at it now, you are far from starting a revolution, and you have already worked so hard. The early People's Party comrades were not from a bitter background, and such hard work, rough food, and difficult environment were far beyond their imagination. If it weren't for the fact that core party members such as Chen Ke, You Gui, and Hua Xiongmao, who were of higher background, greater education, and stronger ability, were playing an exemplary role in the front and striving to maintain the atmosphere of the People's Party, I am afraid that many people in the party would have begun to change their movements a long time ago.

The solution proposed by Chen Ke is simple, expand the number of party members. And through propaganda, the BJP officially became an open political organization. Therefore, there is a task of asking the Seventh Secretary of the Party Central Committee to start recruiting probationary Party members.

On the list in You Gui's heart, Zhang Xiuhua ranked very high. In these years, women who dare to come out and take on some public work are very unusual. Even if their purpose is simply to get a salary and get better pay, this kind of courage is already very meritorious.

"Mr. You, why do you want me to join this, this ...... Pp. According to what you said, after joining this BJP, you will be able to make your own decisions. I didn't think about that. Zhang Xiuhua was quite puzzled by this question.

"Comrade Zhang Xiuhua, do you think it is easy to be a member of the People's Party? Look at me, look at these party members, which one is not tired to death. Which is not hard every day from morning to night. Do you think it's so easy to be in charge? There are so many people waiting for you to do something. ”

mentioned this topic, Zhang Xiuhua suddenly remembered her original intention of coming to find You You. She asked tentatively: "Mr. You, I didn't come here for my brother's business, first, I really want Mr. You, and second, I want to ask Mr. You, why are you so good to the people." ”

"Well...... Xiuhua, why do you want to follow me as this escort soldier?" You Yu didn't answer directly, she asked.

"This, I feel very relieved to follow Mr. You. What I used to feel scared of, now I am not afraid. ”

"Xiuhua, what were you afraid of?"

"I, I, I ......" Zhang Xiuhua felt that she couldn't answer, what were she afraid of? Afraid of starvation? Afraid of running out of money? Afraid of the dark? Afraid of being bullied? Or is it all about the future that is feared? Or is life itself scary?

Female victims are just beginning to get acquainted with life in concentration camps. For the insurance group, which is a completely unfamiliar organization, everyone has no concept at all. The floods have destroyed people's lives, and new ways of life have upended women's perceptions of the world. These women had never lived in such an exclusively feminine environment, let alone with so many people.

In a completely unfamiliar environment, the female victims showed great discomfort, and it was to teach these women how to live better in the new environment.

It's a way to teach you how to live in this completely unfamiliar environment. In other words, You Yu provides a new life for these women who are in danger of being under natural disasters.

When the muddy women entered the camp, the married women were unkempt, with big braids, tattered clothes, and tattered straw sandals on their feet, or no shoes at all. The flood occurred in late spring and early summer, when the harvest was scarce, and the surplus food in the house was either eaten or soaked. Everyone is hungry, panicked, and dazed.

You Mu first took everyone to wash clothes, take a bath, and get rid of lice every day. Teach everyone how to use thread to remove tartar from the inside of the mouth. God keeps raining, and there is no shortage of clean water. For the first time, these women have maintained such good personal hygiene.

On days when the rain was pouring, You Miao learned to read and write, and also learned about female physiology. Although many women were blushing with shame during the class, it was the first time they learned the secrets of their bodies.

When the rain stopped, the insurance group's fleet began to transport supplies back. Cloth is also an important part of it, and You Gui organizes women to make clothes, and the old tattered clothes are put away and reorganized. When the medicine arrived, the intestinal parasites were eliminated, and the skin diseases were treated with sulfur, and the women were taught how to live one by one.

Gradually, the women got used to bathing every day and to the smell of lime water sprinkled everywhere to keep it clean. Get used to getting up first every day, rinse your mouth, and floss your teeth. Although everyone is not only ruddy, at least there is no strong body odor.

Form a guardian team, manage the camp, and mediate conflicts. Although it was a disaster year, for the first time, women felt that life could be lived in such an orderly manner. When there are no men around, women don't have to be scared. As long as there is a job, whether it is farming or sewing. Women can live.

This perception has left countless women feeling an inexplicable uneasiness, a mixture of expectation and fear. Natural disasters are terrible, but even if there are no natural disasters, what can they do? Isn't ordinary life scary? In the insurance group, no matter what, eat on time, sleep on time, work on time, and everyone can survive. And even not too badly lived. This was something completely beyond imagination for the women of 1906.

And in addition to these, women heard for the first time that the earth under their feet was a round ball, floating in the boundless universe. The moon is also a round ball that revolves around the earth. The earth revolves around the sun. The whole world is made up of countless atoms. Women listen to this knowledge as a story.

And learning to write, learning the multiplication formula, learning addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, learning the names of various weight and size units, these knowledge is much more useful. At least when making clothes, people are better able to calculate the actual amount they need. It is essential for all kinds of effective work communication.

You Miao teaches everyone a new life, uses science to clear the fog in the darkness, and strives to show everyone the true face of this world. For a significant portion of women, these are not important. They firmly believe that the days will return to the old ways. For a woman like Zhang Xiuhua, who is eager for knowledge, this kind of cognition brings more confusion and deep fear.

A new life has been tried by everyone, and when this new life may disappear again, people who have become accustomed to this life will naturally have fear.

Do you want to go back to the precarious life of the past? Do you want to go back to a life where no one cares about it? Female camps, like male camps, are publicly available. The women all know that the insurance group is going to preside over the division of land. The women's reaction to this news was basically the same, everyone wanted to return to their old land, and they also wanted better land. When they learned that it was impossible to get both at the same time, the women talked about the "good land" advertised by the insurance group.

Zhang Xiuhua didn't care about this kind of problem, what she wanted to know was what this change meant, and whether it meant that the life she had become accustomed to living in a certain organizational system was coming to an end.

After You Gou gave Zhang Xiuhua a comprehensive introduction to the current organizational structure of the People's Party and the Insurance League, Zhang Xiuhua had a general understanding of the structure and scale of this organization. Knowing that the system he served was so powerful, Zhang Xiuhua made up his mind not to be excluded from this organization.

"Mr. You, I am willing to join the People's Party!" Zhang Xiuhua said seriously. After saying this, Zhang Xiuhua suddenly had a panic. If you are rejected by You, then you will never have the opportunity to become a member of this system again. The sense of security you once had will disappear without a trace.

You Yu didn't answer immediately, she stared at Zhang Xiuhua for a while, and then nodded. "I'll go back to camp the day after tomorrow. I'll talk to you about it. Joining the People's Party is not about making you happy, you have to be mentally prepared to endure hardships and suffering. ”

"Okay, Mr. You." Hearing You Wei say this, Zhang Xiuhua breathed a sigh of relief.

"Also, you don't have to run around for your brother's business. The party organization has its own plans and will not wronged anyone. Nor will any criminals be spared, it's useless if you run away. If you let me know that you are still jumping up and down about this matter, I won't say anything about joining the party. ”

"......, okay, Mr. You."

"Then you go, I'm going to work now." After You Yu finished speaking, he walked towards the cement kiln.

Looking at You Wei's back, Zhang Xiuhua had mixed feelings, but he didn't dare to stay, in the "attention salute" of other male soldiers, Zhang Xiuhua ran away.

You Yu finished today's test and did not rest, but went to the camp of the insurance group. Chen Ke asked everyone to have a meeting. The station of the three battalions of the first regiment was used, which was located near the county seat.

Recently, the work has been a little easier, and this time the people are very busy. Chen Ke's opening remarks were very simple, "Comrades have worked hard. Today I would like to start by talking about some basic theoretical issues. ”

As soon as the words fell, the comrades below sighed almost in unison. Chen Ke has talked about these theories many times, and at the beginning, everyone was still a little interested, but now not to mention that their ears have been ground out of calluses, at least there is no high interest in the past.

Looking at the performance of his comrades, Chen Ke smiled, "Everyone thinks they have learned well." Then let me ask, what is the definition of money. ”

"Money is the general equivalent." The answer was Hua Xiongmao.

"Very good, let's recite it together." Chen Ke said with a smile.

The comrades were accustomed to teaching schoolchildren the same way, and all of them replied together: "Money is a general equivalent." ”

After everyone finished speaking, Chen Ke smiled and said, "I am going to issue the currency of our base." Of course, it can also be said that it is not called currency, but bills. ”

Although they can memorize theoretical knowledge, they still don't understand it when faced with practical problems. At least most people don't understand what's going on.

"Secretary Chen, what's going on?" Someone has already asked.

"There is a huge influx of people from other places, and it is impossible for us to give them land. It's impossible to feed them just like that. They have to work. These people from other places work more, and we can't provide basic rations of food like the local victims. Therefore, it is necessary to issue our own currency. ”

This made many people confused. Everyone looked at Chen Ke and didn't understand what was going on at all.

Chen Ke explained: "We are now facing three problems: first, we can't sell food. Second, we don't have any money to pay the people who do the work. Third, we don't have that many people to supervise how much work the people in other places are doing. Therefore, it is imperative to provide a currency as a proof of remuneration in a quantitative manner. ”

Even with such an explanation, some comrades still did not understand what was going on. Everyone either pondered or looked at each other in bewilderment.

Among the comrades in the venue, Chen Ke best understood the importance of this matter itself. Money is not just an equivalent, it contains so much in it. To control a country's currency is to control that country. Sooner or later, the base areas will have their own currencies and their own financial systems. Chen Ke did not study economics, so he maintained a very cautious attitude towards it. However, in the face of the current influx of people from other places, currency issuance must be carried out.

Chen Ke is not at ease with who this matter is, but now the comrades are in such a situation. Looking at the puzzled eyes of most of the comrades, Chen Ke couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Picking up the chalk, Chen Ke began to write on the blackboard and talk about the issue of currency issuance.

Issuance, circulation, and withdrawal. The flow of modern money. Every circulation of money means the completion of a production process. Chen Ke did not receive any formal economic training, and he could only make his own deductions based on what he had learned. And try to explain your knowledge so that the comrades can understand.

What comrades like to listen to the most is Chen Ke's narration of this knowledge, and the original variety of social affairs has become abstract and clearer under Chen Ke's explanation. However, this theoretical knowledge can be effectively applied in a variety of ways in a rapidly changing society. This really makes these comrades who maintain their height feel that they can control the world in the palm of their hands.

After speaking, Chen Ke only said one sentence, "Now let's discuss in groups, if there are comrades who are willing to participate in this work, you can go to Secretary Shang Yuan to sign up." Assignments are considered organizationally. ”

After finishing speaking, Chen Ke called the other six secretaries over, "How are you doing to develop party members?" He asked tiredly. Let Chen Ke, a layman, tell such a subtle thing as establishing a monetary system, and just preparing will cost Chen Ke's life. He hadn't slept in two days.

"There is no problem in the army, there are many activists who have joined the party on my side." Hua Xiongmao said. He Zudao just nodded, he was also in the army, and he didn't want to say so much.

"The government department is not very good, and it is difficult to find five people." Shang Yuan said.

Lu Huitian and Yuwenba both glanced at each other before saying. "It's okay with civil affairs. Secretary Yuwen and I have more than a dozen candidates. ”

"I'm going to the women's camp the day after tomorrow, and I've got some candidates." You replied.

After the comrades finished speaking, Chen Ke nodded, "We must find those who are desperate for the old order." Those who have a vision for a new life. Once selected, add more tasks to them. The People's Party does not speak by mouth, but by doing its work. It's okay to find more people, but we're just too little, not too much. ”

The crowd nodded.

"In addition, now to increase publicity, we must let the people know who is in charge of Fengtai County. The BJP must stand up! Chen Ke continued.

"Then let's just have a meeting." You Yu said.

The other secretaries nodded their heads after hearing this.

"I am now discussing the issue of currency issuance with Comrade Shang Yuan. Let's discuss these things. Come up with a plan. The main point is one, we must let our People's Party know to passers-by in Fengtai County! Chen Ke gave the order in a serious tone.
