The picture-scrolling story came to a moment's pause here.

The young man, who goes by the pseudonym Hailang, does not go on to tell fairy-tale stories such as using his knowledge and perseverance to build a new countryside and lead tenant farmers and small yeoman farmers to prosperity.

There are no fairy tales, only the tragedy of reality.

Everyone here has heard a lot of such a tragic story, and although it resonates, they will no longer be easily angry about it.

The atmosphere in the venue was oppressive and hopeful.

Depression stems from the sad and lamentable sentence "It has been like this for more than 100 years, and everyone is used to it".

Accustomed to it is the most terrible depression.

Hope stems from the story of the lazy man who spent eight years taking revenge, that is, the light of hope of unyielding and defiant.

The young man with the pseudonym Hailang said this, took a deep breath, looked at Jian Chen, who was sitting in the lower front row, hesitated for a moment, and finally picked up the cardboard simple party card on the left-hand side.

"Jian Chen can be said to be my husband, and he is the guide for me to embark on this path. I respect him, but I respect our party's pursuit of fairness and justice even more. ”

"The day before yesterday, Comrade Chen Jian said the principle of cooperation with the Min County New Council, and I would like to ask him a question: According to the law of the Min County New Council, is the landlord innocent? If he is innocent, then what are we tossing? We toss and turn, the standard of justice and fairness is still theirs, why should we try? What are we doing? ”

"If the laws within their system are legitimate, but unreasonable, and we agree with the judgment of this legal system. So what's the difference between us and those who want to be ethical? As long as there is morality, everything is fine? ”

"We can't change anything, all we do is tinkering with an old foundation, and we keep reincarnating."

"If the comrades can't give me an answer today, then I don't know what the difference is whether there is this party card or not."

In the sudden silence of the venue, Hailang pinched the party card and said solemnly: "I hope to be able to give an answer today, an answer that allows us to elect the executive committee, so that I can know who my vote should be for." ”

"If I'm the only one who has such a question, and you don't want to know the answer......

He unfolded his very precious party card, pointed to the passage on it and said: "Then I can only choose to light a match and burn everything that I cherish as my life." Because I don't want the words to be tarnished! ”

For a while, there was chaos in the venue.

The presiding officer of the meeting hurriedly shook the brass bell, and a person next to him came forward to accuse: "What are you talking about? What do you think of here? ”

The young man held his head high and said categorically: "What should it be? When the Central Party of Mexico pursues fairness and justice! I would like to ask Comrade Chen Jian to answer my question in person, which is allowed by the constitution of the meeting, as long as half of the vote agrees. I ask for a vote now! ”

The eyes of everyone in the venue were on Chen Jianjian, and the meeting presided over the meeting to give five minutes, and the formal vote was made after five minutes.

This was something that the whole venue did not expect, and the Nan'an factory faction that was mentioned as a joke before was one of Chen Jian's several absolute descendants, and it could be judged from the story told by this young man. No one expected that these people would be the first to attack, and the timing of the questioning and the previous story forced the matter that had been planned to continue to postpone the discussion to start arguing at this time.

After five minutes of voting, Jian Chen walked up to the podium and looked at the young man next to him who had grown up, but had not forgotten his original persistence, and really smiled.

"Yes, I don't deny that according to the basis of the new council of Minjun at this time, that person is not guilty, but only morally deficient. If we had chosen to cooperate with the new council of Min County, it would have been impossible to make a law that would have held the person guilty. However, I would like to ask comrades, if the landlord is not morally deficient, but a real village sage, will we not be angry? Don't object? ”

"What is the reason for our opposition? Is it because of these sins? Or is it because they hinder the development of society? Mind you, it is us, our living party, not passionate, fanatical individuals. ”

"In the story of Comrade Hailang, this man is bad. However, it is important to understand that the reason why we oppose these people is not because they are bad. If we take good and bad as the standard, if we tell the story of a village sage, we think we are wrong? ”

"Is our party judging a stratum by its moral goodness? Is it to judge who to support and who to oppose by the quality of morality? ”

"Now I would like to ask you a question, what is the difference between the new Minjun Council, which we will cooperate, and those authorities in the past, elsewhere, and even abroad? What is the basis for our cooperation with them, or the basis for the possibility of cooperation? ”

There was a discussion in the room, and some of those who dared to speak their minds were already close to the brutal truth. It is neither morality nor conscience, but a very fundamental interest.

When the ideas that were shouted out gradually converged, Jian Chen nodded and said, "Yes, many people have understood what the basis of our cooperation is. ”

"The basis of our cooperation is because this new council in Minjun is the original council in Mincheng. There were factory owners, workshop owners, craftsmen, teachers, lawyers, bankers, and directors of the Nanyang Company...... And us. ”

"How many big landlords are there? How many people are inseparable from the old land system? It can be said that there are very few, at least very few of the Mincheng councils disguised as the Minjun council. ”

"It's not because of morality, it's not because of conscience, it's not because they also feel it's unfair, it's just because the land issue doesn't touch the fundamental interests of this council, and when we move the land issue, we don't need their support, we just need them not to oppose it."

"If this is a council established by the landlords, the scholars cultivated by the landlord class, and the sons and daughters of the big landlords, then the land issue is their lifeblood, and we don't need to cooperate with them at all, because it is impossible to cooperate - reform and reform, who will take the initiative to cut off their own liferoots?"

"This kind of largest, based on interests and strata, is the basis on which we can choose to cooperate."

In other words, one step back in the city in exchange for two steps in the countryside. For those people in Mincheng, they can feel it and be grateful when we take a step back. When we take two steps in the countryside, they will not be able to feel it personally, on the contrary, they will feel that the story of the countryside is miserable, and they will support us from the perspective of morality. ”

"This kind of foundation determines that there is room for compromise and cooperation, and that they are still progressive compared to the landlords of the old era."

"What is this progressiveness? This kind of progressiveness means that when we start to make moves in the countryside, they will not resolutely oppose it, and as long as it does not touch the basis of the ownership system that they agree with, they will even show a certain degree of support - whether it is for profit or to gain fame - some people will choose to support it. ”

"Since we have chosen cooperation, what we have to do is not to judge those people on our basis, but to use our means to make those people no longer have room to exist. It's not to kill them, and if you kill them, you'll soon be replaced by a group of people who will become them, but to make this class disappear! And this disappearance is the disappearance of not judging good people and bad people. ”

"The current cooperation does not mean that we have given up our original dream, let alone that we have given up the future."

However, at the end of these words, the young man with the pseudonym Hailang bit his lip and asked, "Comrade Chen Jian, you have said so much, I only want to know one thing...... If we cooperate with the new council of Min County, if the landlord rents out the land at a low rent, and then he puts his property into the cement factory, the metallurgical company, the Nanyang company, and so on, is he progressing? ”

"Is it that we cooperate with the new council of Min County, as long as he does what I just said, will he not be punished in any way?"

"I've heard so much progress, and now I want to hear justice!"

Asking the question in such detail, Chen Jian had no room to flicker around, so he could only say truthfully: "If we choose to cooperate, it means that we agree with the ownership system of the Minjun Council, as well as the legal rights and laws derived from it." Then he will not be punished. ”

The young man took a deep breath, stared into Jian Chen's eyes and asked, "Please say it again." ”

"If he chooses to cooperate with the new council, he will not be punished. But ......"

But before Dan came out, the young man suddenly broke out, slammed his fist on the podium and scolded: "Go to the progress of Tamar! ”

The angry fist shook the table, and shook the young man's once-cherished party card to the ground. In the chaos of the venue, the young man didn't know what to curse again, turned his head and wanted to leave the venue, but two people tried to hold him in the middle, but he was also pushed aside.

Chen Jian knew that once he walked out of this door, this impulsive young man, or who had been stimulated by the unfinished stories of the village activities, meant that this young man would start all over again in the party.

He didn't know if someone had said anything to this young man, but he knew that this young man was a force to rely on.

When the young man was about to step out of the door in the astonishment of everyone, Lan Qi shouted on the spot, "What about the people who maintain discipline in the venue? Let him calm down! I propose to adjourn the meeting for the time being! ”

After speaking, he kicked Jian Chen, and Jian Chen hurriedly seconded the proposal, and the person who maintained the discipline in the venue finally stopped him at the moment before the young man pushed the door out.

"I'll go talk to him."

Lan Qi whispered a word to Jian Chen, and Jian Chen bent down to pick up the party card that had been shaken to the ground, and sighed.

Originally, he also thought that this would be a beautiful fairy tale that took the lead in getting rich, relying on personal charm and ability, and relying on the financial and technical support provided by the party property, and a fantasy of rural construction full of feelings without touching violence and blood.

However, seeing such a scene, Jian Chen felt that the story behind it must not be what he thought.
