When Jian Chen said that he wanted to organize a group of employees of a trading company and prepare some sticks and other things, Hu Lin couldn't help but say, "Brother Chen, what are you doing here?" ”

Chen Jian spread his hands and said: "People are harmless and tigers, tigers hurt people's hearts." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoThe glass of our trading company must be so that some glass workshops in Fujian City can't sell large pieces of glass, and our foundation is shallow, if the other party finds some city fox society rats and the like to smash us, is it difficult for us to let them smash it? Even if you don't smash it, what if you make trouble near our trading company twice in three days? Originally, everyone did not affect each other in transshipment of goods, but now it is different. ”

"Is it that serious?"

"Blocking people's money, such as killing parents. It's always good to guard against the point. ”

"But Brother Chen, you are blocking people's financial paths, if those workshops go out of business, what will happen to the employees?"

"I'll do it. Those who can blow glass, one counts as one, I want them all. What are you afraid of? The glass is still those, but it has been produced by a different person. Those of them who run workshops can go and do other things, but I can accept those craftsmen and apprentices and so on. Now my workshop can only produce large pieces of glass, but I still want to make glassware, lampshades and so on. ”

Jian Chen flickered: "Let me tell you, it's actually a good thing that you can't do all those glass workshops." Why is it a good thing? They can't do it because of the high cost, so the glass is expensive, and ordinary people can't afford it. What would it be like if the price of glass dropped to about the same price as window paper? Besides, if there was only one glass workshop like mine in the whole country, I could have given some money to those hired workers, wouldn't they be better off? ”

"But I don't dare now, why? Because if I give the money to the hired people in the glass workshop, my cost will be high, and if I can't sell it, I will lose money, and eventually the workshop will go out of business. ”

Hu Lin thought about it and felt that it seemed that there was indeed a little bit of truth, of course, this reason was based on the fact that he thought Chen Jian was a good person.

Seeing that Hu Lin had hesitated, Jian Chen hit the railroad while it was hot: "In fact, in addition to the interests of our trading company, there are other purposes. Brother Zhu, I don't think you're just here to do something good, are you? You're a member of the county council, so you have to make some suggestions that will benefit the poor, right? ”

Hu Lin sighed and said helplessly: "It's mentioned that it's been mentioned, but what's the use?" I've been proposing compensation for the miners' deaths for so long, but it's still not as effective as last year's protests by the miners. ”

Chen Jian patted his thigh and said, "Ah! That's it. You see, a lot of things are moving forward little by little, and there are not many things that can be fought for now, and if you want to say that you want to remove property weighting and land weighting, it will definitely be impossible, so sometimes you have to think of something that can be done and what the bottom people want. These are more important than the money donated to the workhouse, and they can help more people. ”

"Death compensation, for example? For example, after the dismissal of an employee, can you give a minimum guarantee of a month's living allowance? For example, it is possible to give at least a little medical money after a work injury. ”

"The last time the miners were lucky, a few old nobles who didn't open their eyes said something they shouldn't have said. What if not? If I were the owner of a mine, and I paid a few people to get into it, and instigated those people to smash, set fires, and even shed blood to death, do you think those small individual workshop owners would get bored? Will it cause those armies to come forward and suppress the shock? Even if the earthquake is suppressed, it will be called a mob, and many people will support it. ”

Hu Lin had never thought about such a dirty thing, but when he heard Jian Chen's words, and then thought about the riots that occurred a few years ago, he was covered in a layer of cold sweat, and the more he thought about it, the more he thought about it.

"Brother Zhu, you just said that you were unable to manage a trading company with dozens of people at the beginning, not to mention hundreds of people and thousands of people on the streets, who can control it?"

"What if it happens again? What if there is no anger caused by the nonsense of the old nobles who are not eye-opening in the future? ”

The three questions made Hu Lin sigh for a long time, he really hadn't thought about these things, and he hadn't thought that it would be so troublesome to organize some people to do something - far more troublesome than he thought.

In silence, Jian Chen spoke: "So, this requires the organization of a group of employees. This group of employees must be strong and organized. ”

"What's the use? If there were any more such petitions, the strong and organized hired men would be responsible for maintaining order. It is necessary to recognize which side is your own person, to see clearly whether there are some people of unknown origin mixed in on the way, and to stop your own excesses and not to leave a false pretext...... These people are not used to beat people, but to stop the violence. ”

"Of course, if the other side pays to hire a group of characters such as City Fox Society rats, these organized hired workers can also drive them apart, you can rest assured, a hundred organized hired workers can beat the same hundred wandering hooligans who paid for money to hire crying dad and mother."

"Now that the trading company is under your jurisdiction, don't you want to do something more meaningful than donate money to the workhouse? Of course, it seems that the situation is still calm now, and you can use the reason of protecting the trading company from being smashed to recruit a group of employees who agree that you trust you, work in the trading company normally, and organize a group to chat, tell stories, and talk ...... after the break."

"When the wind is uneven and the waves are not quiet, there is such a group of people, which can always prevent some deaths and injuries or being splashed with dirty water. If hundreds of people really take to the streets, who knows if something can happen? Who knows who can be mixed in? ”

Jian Chen stood up, took out a few pamphlets from a wooden cabinet next to him, and put them on the small table in front of Hu Lin.

Four copies.

What can we get for the bottom in 20 years? What are the impossible ones that should not be fought for? 》； Knowledge is power, how to run a night school? 》； "Methods of Organizing Pickets"; "What do you tell when you get together at night to tell a story?" 》。

The four pamphlets are not thick, and although I haven't read the contents, I know from the title alone that the content inside must be easy to understand.

Hu Lin thought of the booklet written by Chen Jian last time, and couldn't help but want to look through it, but was held down by Chen Jian.

"Brother Zhu, you can go back and read these books again, I just want to talk to you."

"Take the trading company we have established, in fact, we can do a lot of things, but before doing anything, we must first think about what is possible and what is completely impossible now, at least in Mincheng, we can deduce from the previous booklet."

"It's like a man is hungry, and you're giving him a fish? Or give him a net? ”

"Brother Zhu, I said that knowledge is power, but in fact, knowledge is also money, just like this glass, isn't that what knowledge comes from? The lowest level of employees may have learned the words of enlightenment at most, and they don't have the money to learn them beyond that. ”

"So if you have been to the capital to study, can you talk about more words and more arithmetic methods after you get off work at night? Or organize some hired workers to learn from each other some craftsman's skills? You can even spend some money to invite a few learned people to attend classes in the evening, and if there are those who are willing to come and listen, they can come to listen, and the trading company will be open at night, becoming a place for employees in Mincheng to chat and study together. ”

"For example, your Dream City is very well written, some people may have heard it, some people have not, so can you tell them a story? Even if it's small talk, nonsense, or casual talk, is it better than the hired man going to a bar for the little money at night? ”

"Somebody is sick, can you give some money to buy some medicine for people who can't afford it? Is it possible to lend some food to the laid-off, starving, and lifeless hired laborers without interest? ”

"Don't talk about what you want first, but become friends with them first, not just as a good person, a saint, but a friend you can rely on and trust."

"If you talk a lot, more people will naturally be willing to listen, so you can discuss together what a really good future looks like, and what do you really want?"

"You can come step by step, but you can't go step by step. You may not be able to do it at first, but you can learn slowly, try slowly, and as long as you try it here in Mincheng at the beginning, it will never come to the meeting just like running a trading company, and there will be more and more people from no one. ”

"If you're interested, you can give it a try. Brother Zhu, it's not me who hits you, you are idle in the council, and there is no use for fart. You're not angry when I say that, are you? ”

Hu Lin smiled bitterly, shook his head and said, "I'm not angry, why are you angry?" You're just telling the truth. I've been talking about it for so long in the council, and it's really useless. ”

"I'm not saying that it will never be a fart, but that some things will be useful sooner or later, and you are actually useless as I am now, but the problem is that there are some things that you have to figure out which ones are likely to be a bit of a in the future, and which ones are useless for decades if you shout at your throat. Fairness and justice, at least seems to be good, and it is what many people want to pursue, even if the death compensation of the miners is increased from ten silver coins to ten silver coins and one copper plate, you don't pursue it and expect this thing to fall from the sky? ”

…………

Hu Lin lived in Chen Jian's workshop for eight days, and Chen Jian and Hu Lin chatted for eight days, not talking about anything radical, but more about reformist ideas and the most primitive fairness.

The most is to rely on a human pursuit of truth, goodness and beauty, so that a trend of thought that conforms to the times, at least makes people feel that everyone is theoretically equal, and makes more people think.

In fact, no matter how much Chen Jian talks, he is not afraid, anyway, it is a long road now, and it will take a few years for Hu Lin's thinking to mature, and it is impossible to achieve it overnight. Moreover, his workshop is in Nan'an County, not a county seat, no matter what kind of wind and rain will not affect it here in a few years.

He won't run any cooperatives in his workshop, and he won't pay his hired workers more, because it's pointless, and there will be no splash left. But it makes sense to sow some seeds that can bloom everywhere.

Maybe in the future, he will stand on the opposite side of what he is saying now to shock, but as long as people are not killed, they will always leave their thoughts.

But the most important point is that before Hu Lin returned to Mincheng, he told Chen Jian that after he returned, he would follow what Chen Jian said to make the charity trading company in Mincheng a place where middle and low-level people could discuss stories and chat in their spare time.

Moreover, when he returned, he would organize a group of employees of the trading company and create a picket of hired workers to protect the interests of the trading company.

In the future, it is not known whether it will be able to maintain order during the petition procession as Chen Jian said, so as someone will be able to make trouble and frame up, but Chen Jian knows that after it is built, the most capable trading company in Min County must be his own, after all, it is bought with dividends and is simply organized.
