Among the 127 members of the Huangpu Publishing House, 58 are students of Fudan Public School. After the official opening of Fudan Public School, the workshop that serves as the headquarters of Huangpu Publishing House at this stage has become much quieter during the day. Early in the morning, all the comrades rushed over. Chen Ke immediately convened a party meeting.

Due to the opening of Fudan Public School, the number of people who could have gone to work on the construction site was immediately reduced. Classes are taught in the evenings. This affects the party meeting very much. Therefore, it was agreed that the party meeting would be held in the morning instead, and the specific content would be discussed in the evening.

Wang Qinian's request is nothing special, selling to Chinese is selling, selling to foreigners is also selling. Since even the molecular formula has been revealed, there is not much interest in it at all. Regarding Yan Fu's matter, no one reacted in any way. Chen Ke looked at his comrades in amazement, and the comrades also looked at Chen Ke.

"Don't you have any suggestions?" Chen Ke asked.

"You've refused, what are you going to tell us about?" Hua Xiongmao asked rhetorically. There seems to be a reluctance to mention this issue.

"I think Wenqing did the right thing." Qi Huishen finally commented.

"I didn't say he was wrong. This is Wen Qing's private matter. I don't think it's appropriate to talk about it here. Hua Xiongmao said.

"Private?" Hearing this evaluation, Chen Ke's eyes widened, "The united front is one thing, but the political stance is another. The reason why I am doing this today is to tell you that there are not so many personal matters in front of the party. ”

Looking at Hua Xiongmao's surprised look, Chen Ke waved his hand. "We'll talk about that in the evening. Is there anything else you can do? This concludes my statement. ”

"If we can, we need to add more people to the site. The work on the site has improved compared to the original plan," Hua Xiongmao said, resisting the urge to debate.

"Isn't it a lot ahead of schedule?"

"Now the dormitory building is about to be completed. I think that since I have already advanced a lot, I should just hurry up and finish the work in one go. It is not too suitable to always occupy Brother Zhou's workshop. Hua Xiongmao suggested.

"You make a plan. See how many people are needed. Evening debriefing. ”

Everyone reported what they were doing, and there was nothing particularly anxious, and the morning meeting was dispersed. Schools and hospitals in one direction. Hua Xiongmao and Chen Ke were followed by a bunch of students, and everyone walked in the direction of the school lively.

"According to what Wen Qing said, a teacher is also to be reported?" There was a kind of incomprehension in Hua Xiongmao's voice. Chen Kebei said that he did not agree to apprenticeship, even if he agreed, could it be because this teacher betrayed the revolution? Not to mention that the famous Mr. Yan Fu first proposed to accept Chen Ke as a disciple. This is an honor in the eyes of others, enough to show off. To be honest, Hua Xiongmao thought that Chen Ke was showing off in disguise. Unexpectedly, Chen Ke's idea was not like this at all. I actually took this as a big deal. As if if you didn't provide it, you made a big mistake.

"It's not a notification, but it must be recognized by the party committee. Once a member of the Party has joined the Party, without the approval of the Party organization, no Party member is allowed to apprentice privately, such as other political groups. Chen Ke's voice was slightly stern.

"Why?"

"There are rules in organizational discipline. See for yourself. ”

"You can't join other political groups, but I understand. But apprenticeship is a bit unkind. Hua Xiongmao frowned slightly.

Chen Ke also frowned slightly, and his tone was full of heavy advice, "It's really unkind, but this is the party organization." The apprenticeship itself also carries with it an ideological and political identity, not to mention personal relationships. All ideology and politics of party members must be consistent with the party. Otherwise, what's the point of forming a party? The party is not a group of people who are crowded in winter, the party is a political group that strives for the same goal. ”

Hua Xiongmao bowed his head and walked for a while, then replied: "What Wen Qing said makes sense. ”

Seeing Hua Xiongmao's dejected appearance, Chen Ke punched him in the shoulder, "Didn't you do something inappropriate, you don't need to do this." Why do we have a party meeting, it is to discuss what is happening at any time, and now we have discipline, but there is a lack of regulations. There is no convention, and this point is originally a lot of party members do things, and then everyone discusses them. I'm not the only one who says it. ”

Hua Xiongmao just nodded, but remained silent. Chen Ke felt that if he continued to speak, it would be like holding on to Hua Xiongmao's pigtails. He changed the subject, "Is there anything in the group of students behind us that you think you can recommend?" ”

Perhaps due to the influence of Fang Cai, Hua Xiongmao was still not very enthusiastic, and his voice was much lower, "That is, so-so." You're much worse than Wen Qing. I must say that the hardest work and the most obedient are those Japanese students. The most clever in doing things, Chinese students are a lot stronger. But it's only been less than ten days, and we'll have to wait and see. ”

"Zhenglan, let me tell you first, Mr. Yan Fu wants to introduce me to Beijing, but I really want to go. But before I go, I want to teach everyone everything I've learned, so that you don't know what to do when you don't have problems. I'm sure you'll be able to do your job. Chen Ke said.

These words can be regarded as heart-to-heart, Hua Xiongmao immediately came to his senses after hearing it, and he replied with some excitement. "I will take a good look at the party's constitution."

Chen Ke was not satisfied with this answer. But now is not the time to find faults. The hospital arrived, greeted everyone, and Chen Ke took Mao Ping into the hospital.

Wang Qinian has a high opinion of Mao Ping and has been recognized by Wang Qinian in person. Chen Ke opened the package he was carrying. Inside is enough medicine to treat 30 people. Everyone checked the medicine powder and it did not deteriorate. Wang Qinian prepared five sets of syringes, cotton wool, and alcohol. Keep it in your carry-on medicine box. After Mao Ping finished the inspection, he signed his name on an IOU.

Chen Ke handed over another twenty taels of silver to Mao Ping. Mao Ping is also knowledgeable, and after carefully checking it, he also signed the receipt.

"I'll leave the job over there to you. Remember my request? ”

"First, come back when you're done. Second, I am here to heal diseases, not to sell medicines. Mao Ping replied.

"Good. I know you're enthusiastic, but don't do bad things with good intentions. This drug could have killed people, and we must not do stupid things or do wrong things. You have to put your own safety first, if something happens, people will arrest you first. Chen Ke explained earnestly.

"Mr. Wen Qing, don't worry, I haven't listened to you yet, and I will definitely not be arrested in Hankou in vain. Do you have anything else to explain? ”

"I've said everything I need to say, go ahead. Bon voyage. ”

Mao Ping took his leave and embarked on a remote business trip for the revolution.

Chen Ke then talked to Wang Qinian about business. The core question is only one thing, what price Wang Qinian can get.

Wang Qinian hoped to be able to get the goods at the current price of 75% off, and Chen Ke told Wang Qinian that the lowest was 95% off. "Dr. Wang, selling to Nanyang is originally a very profitable business. You said that if you sell it to Nanyang, I can't supervise it. It's not that I can't trust Mr. Wang, it's that I don't want to supervise Mr. Wang at all. Therefore, the seven-fold thing is also mentioned. I can't explain it to anyone else. ”

When Wang Qinian heard this, he knew that he would never be able to convince Chen Ke. I had no choice but to agree.

"Mr. Chen, in that case, let's talk about this month's number. I'm going to ask for 600 pills first. ”

"The storage period of this medicine is not very long, and Dr. Wang needs to pay attention to this matter." Chen Ke said unmoved.

"This natural, medicinal matter, I will buy from Mr. Wenqing twice a month."

"Doctor Wang, are you leaving our hospital?" Chen Ke asked.

"No, I love the hospital and I love working here. As long as Mr. Wenqing doesn't pick me up, I have no intention of leaving. ”

Chen Ke naturally had no intention of driving Wang Qinian away. Now it is spreading everywhere, with Wang Qinian sitting here, and nothing has happened. What Chen wants now is to maintain the status quo.

Over the next few days, all sorts of small problems arose. Hiring people, rushing to work, distributing medicines, all kinds of tedious things can't be done. On the one hand, Chen Ke gradually distributed the work more reasonably, and on the other hand, he was preparing for social investigation.

Strangely, since the Mid-Autumn Festival, fewer and fewer people from Fudan Public School have come. Chen Ke felt that the school was busy, and it was not a bad thing that they didn't come, just to complete the task at hand easily. Unexpectedly, within a few days, a Fudan Public School student who joined the Huangpu Society hurriedly came, this student was called Murong Parrot, as soon as he saw Chen Ke, Murong Parrot shouted anxiously: "Mr. Chen, Xiong Mingyang has been spreading in Fudan Public School these days that you are not a revolutionary party at all, but a royalist." Other students were also prevented from coming to the club. There was a fight with a couple of people this afternoon. Mr. Chen, you have to go and persuade. ”

Hearing this, Chen Ke couldn't help but smile bitterly, and he said in his heart: Child, Xiong Mingyang said that I am not a revolutionary party, I think it is a kind of protection. You are defending me so stubbornly...... are you going to take my life?

This classmate Xiong Mingyang is the one who asked Chen Ke to make a revolution at the Mid-Autumn Festival night dinner. Chen Kehe has always been very impressed, Xiong Mingyang is a native of Sichuan, and he first studied at Nanyang College in Xi'an.

Nanyang College was a well-known new school at that time, but it did not get rid of the fetters of the old feudal traditional education; From private schools to new schools, there have been great changes in management, but they are still accustomed to using the old ** and harsh etiquette to bind students, and at the same time, teachers do not understand the new ideas that sprout in students, and often have antagonistic emotions.

On November 5, 1902, when Class 5 of the public school was in class, Kwok Chun-ying, a liberal arts teacher, found a cleaned inkwell on the teacher's seat, and thought that it was a student's intention to play tricks on him, so he strictly pursued him. All five classes replied, "I don't know." Guo intimidated the students who were sitting in the front row, Bei Xiaobo and Wu Shiqing, and gave them three days to denounce them, otherwise they would be guilty. After being threatened, a student in Class 5 falsely accused Wu Zhengjun that the bottle was put by Wu Zhengjun. On the 13th, at the request of Guo Jiaoxi, the school announced the expulsion of innocent student Wu Zhengjun, which aroused the opposition of the students of Class 5. After arguing with the principal, there was still no change, and the students in the class immediately decided to withdraw from the school collectively in protest, before leaving, they went to each class to say goodbye, explained the reason, and expressed their opposition to this ** oppression, this action won the sympathy of the students of the whole school. After the principal Wang Fengzao found out, he announced the expulsion of all the students in Class 5 without asking the reason. There was an uproar among the students in the school, causing strong public outrage. The students immediately took matters into their own hands and asked the school to retract the order. The principal refused, and at the same time lost his temper and decided to "do it as a show". In this case, it caused even more resistance from the students, and the students of the whole school decided to withdraw from the school to protest and clearly oppose the use of arbitrary means against the students.

At this point, the school felt very embarrassed and invited Mr. Cai Yuanpei, the head teacher of the special class who was respected by the students, to mediate. After Mr. Cai's patient persuasion, the students agreed to suspend the action. Cai Yuanpei went to visit Sheng Xuanhuai, the supervisor of the public school, that night, but Sheng said "there is something important" and did not see him. After several negotiations, by the morning of the 16th, there was still no result. All the students decided to pack up and sit in the big playground to wait for the final answer. At about 10 a.m., there was no response. As a result, all the students of the school shouted the slogan "Long live the motherland" in the order of the class, and walked out of Nanyang College in an orderly manner. Mr. Cai Yuanpei, who is known for his democratic ideas, also resigned in anger and left the school with the students. Mr. Cai took the students to the "China Education Association" and asked for help. With the support of Zhang Binglin, the person in charge of the Education Association, and others, the "Patriotic Society" was immediately established to enable the dropout students to continue their studies.

Xiong Mingyang naturally also participated in the dropout. Then with Cai Yuanpei and a large number of classmates returned to Shanghai and joined Aurora University.

"Mr. Ma, oh, what does the school say?" Chen Ke asked with concern.

"The school just persuaded everyone to leave, and those who fought were taken to the teaching office. There is no other news for the time being. I'll hurry over and inform Mr. Chen. Murong Parrot said anxiously.

"Thank you. Since it's like this, I can't pretend that I don't know if I know it. I'm going to school with you now. Chen Ke replied helplessly.

"That's the best." Murong Parrot said happily, "Mr. Chen, you might as well give a speech in public." There are a lot of people in the school who care about you, and if you give a public lecture, you will definitely win back a lot of students. ”

Do you want me to stir up a rebellion in public? Chen Ke thought to himself. But in these days, it is not uncommon for people to stir up rebellion in public. Not to mention Ma Xiangbo's school.

After packing up his things, Chen Ke took Murong Yu and Xie Mingxian to the school together.

I went into the teaching office, but there was no one. Murong Parrot hurriedly went to find the dean of academic affairs, Chen Ke took out his notebook and began to make drafts. After writing a part, Chen Ke handed the first page to Xie Mingxian.

Xie Mingxian picked it up and read,

Today, we stand here! Stand on the land of the Chinese! Stand in Shanghai, the land that our ancestors watered with blood and dignity! Standing on the campus of a new Chinese university. In front of me are the students on campus. Outside the walls of the campus, stood a nation, a nation groaning in humiliation! "After that war is over, the pride of our nation is gone! Those victors rode on our necks and trampled on our dignity, the dignity of the noblest people in the world! You tell me, do you choose to rise up like the righteous men of ancient generosity and tragedy, or are you a slave?! "You may say: Mr. Chen Ke, I need a bowl of rice, I need to live in peace. Yes. You're right, life is so important. But I'm going to tell you. There is one thing in this world that is more important than life, and that is freedom! That's dignity! "As long as the French flag is flying in the sky over Shanghai every day, our dignity does not exist! As long as those French and British people are tyrannical on our soil, our dignity will not exist! As long as it is on the map of the world, this country called China is divided and weakened. Our dignity does not exist! As long as people from other countries let out a contemptuous laugh when they say the word China in a chat, our dignity does not exist! "What we need, not a bowl of rice! It's a living space! A living space for a nation! This living space is not achieved by begging and protesting, but by iron and blood! "When others insult us, even the weakest nations come to trample on us, we will only cry: we express strong indignation and protest, such people. It's boneless! Such a person is lowly! We should make the enemy tremble with cannon earthquakes and deaf sounds! We should crush their dignity, their lives, and let them know that we are not a bunch of cowards who only know how to protest! "You have to remember that a country that only knows how to protest is a country without bones! A government that only knows how to protest is a government that has no bones! When our dignity, territory, and living space are trampled on, we still shamelessly protest against the land administration and government, we don't need it! You'll abandon them eventually! "I'm proud, among you people. There are very few people who have no bones like this! In front of me is an army with 5,000 years of noble and unyielding blood! This blood once flowed in the veins of our ancestors, and they did not give in! Now, they're bubbling inside our bodies, you tell me. Do you want it to cool down!? ”

"To be able to unite people. There are two things: a common ideal and a common blood and tears. We have a great ideal immersed in Chinese history, and we will shed our last drop of blood for this ideal! In today's Shanghai. Nothing can save our Motherland, only this ideal! The Treaty of Nanking is a great shame! We have the determination and the reason to refuse to carry it out! Do what you want! Just as he led his compatriots to fight valiantly under the banner of freedom! If you want to fight, go for it! Then I will be able to see whether you are slaves or unyielding Chinese! ”

Chen Ke thought that Xie Mingxian would say that this article was too sensational, but he didn't expect Xie Mingxian to only say one comment, "Mr. Chen, compared with your usual lectures, this article is empty." ”
