As the saying goes, plans can't keep up with change. The first party meeting was expected to be held on July 14, 1905. The official opening was already on July 17, three days later than expected.

Chen Ke and Qi Huishen have been busy with school and medical treatment, and Zhou Yuanxiao is in charge of guarding the workshop. During this period, Hua Xiongmao and You Gu also became uncertain. You Wei claimed that she was recruiting some friends who had worked with her before, and she swore that there were some very good talents in it.

Because he had to complete the school arrangements on paper, Qi Huishen had to contact the British frequently with his father, and he couldn't follow Chen Ke to treat people all the time. It's not impossible to treat the disease alone, but since Hua Xiongmao is willing to be in charge of drug sales in Fujian, Chen Ke feels that Hua Xiongmao always has to go on a business. It is impossible for Chen Ke to follow Hua Xiongmao to Fujian, and now it is also very necessary for Hua Xiongmao to fully understand the use of special drugs and the treatment effect.

After going to practice medicine with Chen Ke twice, Hua Xiongmao apologized very seriously, "Wen Qing, I look at those patients, I feel uncomfortable, and I have nightmares at night. Wen Qing, please let me sell medicine. I can't do it. ”

Regardless of Chen's elaboration on the need to understand the properties of the drug, Mr. Hua said it would take a while for him to continue to work with patients. Now he was sick and wanted to vomit when he saw the patient.

After Hua Xiongmao fled the wilderness, You Gou volunteered to find a reliable Chinese Western doctor. Two days later, she brought a doctor named Wang Qinian. Wang Qinian is a native of Guangdong, and his family has many overseas Chinese in Nanyang. Dr. Wang's uncle was a seafarer, and Wang Qinian relied on his uncle and graduated from a medical school in Marseille, France. Looking at Wang Qinian's ominous appearance, Chen Ke was very suspicious that the teacher of this "medical school" was likely to be the ship's doctor.

But when it comes to intravenous injection, injection dose, normal saline, and the allocation of drugs, Wang Qinian can be regarded as fluent, and the actual operation is quite proficient. Sufficient to perform the duties of a doctor. Chen Ke is worried about the origin of this Dr. Wang, since there are overseas Chinese in the family, the origin of this Dr. Wang will not be so simple. Wang Qinian was also recommended by You Wei's friend, and she said that she would ask.

After going through so many things, on the morning of July 17, the first party meeting was officially held. A total of five people attended the meeting, Chen Ke, Qi Huishen, Hua Xiongmao, You Wei, and Zhou Yuanxiao. Although when the party meeting was mentioned, everyone was giggling, and when they really sat around the table and really held a meeting in the name of the party, the friends who were familiar with each other looked at each other and were a little embarrassed.

Chen Ke patted the table, "I announce that the first party meeting has officially begun. ”

No one applauded, no one spoke. Everyone waited calmly for Chen Ke to continue.

"First, let's elect the clerk for this time."

"What is a clerk?" Hua Xiongmao asked.

"The clerk is responsible for recording every item, every person's speech, and the final resolution. In addition, after the meeting, the clerk had to sort out the outline of the meeting...... "Chen Ke thought that these things were easy to understand, but what surprised him was that after talking about the responsibilities of the clerks, the views of the comrades were very different.

"I can't write, I can't do it." Hua Xiongmao said first. If Hua Xiongmao doesn't continue to talk about it, this is still understandable. Unexpectedly, Hua Xiongmao then asked: "This kind of thing is done with chores, let's find someone to do this next time, right?" ”

Chen Ke tried his best to understand Hua Xiongmao and consider Hua Xiongmao's words from the good side. According to Chen Ke's thoughts, Hua Xiongmao's original intention was probably to concentrate on recording everyone's words, so he would not be able to participate in the discussion. So this kind of work is still done by someone who doesn't care about it. Moreover, Chen Ke suspects that Hua Xiongmao thinks that secretary is a low-level position, and now these people, as "core cadres", should not do this.

After all, Qi Huishen has engaged in revolution, and his thinking is more reliable. "We talk about a lot of things that need to be kept secret, how can we use outsiders?"

"I can't write, I can't do it." You Yu followed along.

Zhou Yuanxiao didn't say a word, until he saw Chen Ke looking at himself, Zhou Yuanxiao reluctantly said, "I can't do it." ”

For everyone's point of view, Chen Ke felt very helpless. A small clerk looks nothing, and among the top party positions, the highest level of secretary - the general secretary is the first person in the party. There is only one party chairman who truly deserves the name. If Chen Ke is now the chairman of the party, then the second in line is the general secretary. In many cases, there is no need to fight for such a thing as status, who can fit this position, and there is no need to fight.

Seeing that no one came to fight for this secretary, Qi Huishen said: "I'll come." "No one objected.

Chen Ke said: "The second item of the meeting, we elect the moderator of this meeting. I choose myself. ”

There was no opposition to this issue, and Chen Ke saw that Qi Huishen did not start writing, so he urged: "Huishen, write it down." ”

"Remember this too?" Qi Hui was a little puzzled.

"That's how we have meetings from now on. At the meeting, everything should be remembered. Chen Ke said very seriously.

After listening to Chen Ke's words, Qi Huishen began to record.

"The third item, every topic in the future, will eventually be voted on by a show of hands, and everyone will have to speak. If you agree, raise your hand, and if you disagree, you must clearly oppose it......"

These rules that Chen Ke learned in elementary school were put forward as topics in the same way, and they were voted on by a show of hands by everyone. Everyone thought that Chen Ke was going to talk about important things, but they didn't expect to learn the rules again. It was okay at first, but after a while, everyone found it very boring. Hua Xiongmao even began to yawn.

I finally finished explaining the rules of the meeting. Chen Ke saw that Qi Huishen had finished writing these things before he said to everyone: "After this meeting, what will the clerk do?" ”

None of them understood what it meant, and Chen Ke had to ask again. Everyone couldn't think of it, and Qi Huishen didn't think about it either, he hurriedly looked at the minutes of the meeting and quickly found the answer. "The clerk writes a summary of the meeting after the meeting."

"That's why I want a clerk. That's why it's important to keep the original record of the meeting and also write a summary of the meeting. Chen Ke said with a smile. More specifically, a smile tugged at the corner of Chen Ke's mouth.

As a traverser, Chen Ke has never felt where his advantages are. In this strange era, in this strange world, Chen Ke always has to solve all problems on his own. In any case, they all started from scratch, and in the face of people they didn't know, it was the revolutionaries who were easier to get in touch with and find a common language. In 1905, it was easy for Chen Ke to become a revolutionary.

After the party meeting was held for a while, Chen Ke suddenly felt his advantage. My real strength is not in the knowledge of later generations, but in knowing how to form an organization to solve problems. The strength of the organization is greater than that of individuals, three stinkers, and one Zhuge Liang. If there is good organization, no genius can fight it alone.

As a traverser, Chen Ke didn't know what those great men thought back then, but he knew how those great men did it, what kind of organization they formed to operate and achieve their goals. The organizations that Chen Ke once hated were all powerful, and for Chen Ke, they were even "oppressors". But Chen Ke can now understand that it is precisely because of the organization and strict discipline that they have such power.

"Yo, it will be deep, and when you write a summary report, I have to read it." Hua Xiongmao said teasingly.

Chen Ke glared at Hua Xiongmao, "Huishen, you write down Zhenglan's speech at the meeting." ”

The meaning of the mockery was so clear, Hua Xiongmao hurriedly said, "Don't, don't." ”

Qi Huishen just smiled and didn't start writing.

The next topic is much more serious. Chen Ke asked everyone, what is the purpose of the revolution?

"Build a new system to save China." Hua Xiongmao was criticized by Chen Ke just now, and after listening to this serious matter, he hurriedly quoted Chen Ke's words.

"So do you think I'm right?"

This question has caused everyone to think.

Hua Xiongmao said with a smile: "What Wen Qing said sounds reliable. Besides, there will definitely be trouble in this world. I naturally listened to Wen Qing. Besides, I was so busy before, where did I have time to talk about this in detail? ”

"Then we have to form a study class. Explain the theory of revolution clearly. ”

"I've been waiting to hear Wen Qing's lecture." Qi Huishen very much agrees with this suggestion. While speaking, Qi Huishen grabbed the paper and recorded it.

"This brings us to the question of when we are going to give lectures. Everyone is so busy, those who treat the disease cure the disease, and those who sell medicine sell medicine. The school is about to start, how do we squeeze out this time? ”

This is indeed a big problem. Everyone is busy during the day, and they are free at night. Everyone's eyes involuntarily fell on You Gui, and among the others, You Gui couldn't come out at night.

"Don't worry about me, I can't delay everyone's affairs. With all your kindness, I know that I will definitely come to the lecture in the evening. You Yu hurriedly said.

So the time of the party class was set at 6 o'clock in the evening.

"It's not enough, we have so much on hand right now that we have to recruit people. I'm going to give you a brief update on what I think needs to be done in the next year. Chen Ke took out the notebook he was carrying with him and said to everyone.

According to Chen Ke's plan, in the coming year, he will build a medical school with the British, with this medical school as the main body, and there will be a school affiliated to the medical school and a nursing school affiliated to the medical school. It is also necessary to set up a hospital affiliated with a medical college.

Hospitals need a lot of equipment, not to mention other equipment, if glass equipment has to be purchased, it will be too wasteful. Chen Ke believes that a glass factory needs to be set up. If you want to set up a glass factory, then you need a lot of coal, and small-scale purchases are too inefficient. Chen Ke told everyone that he was going to build a honeycomb coal plant.

Such a plan is, in the final analysis, an extremely incomplete complex of related industries. The crowd can still understand. Next, Chen Ke told everyone about the overall design of the school and the factory.

From the construction of schools to the employment of teachers, from the construction of hospitals, to the employment of doctors and nurses. As for the honeycomb coal plant, that's more complicated. From the design and purchase of equipment, to the procurement of anthracite, clay, straw, and the selection of plant sites. The sale of products, the rationalization of various social relations. After talking like this for more than half an hour, Qi Huishen had already interrupted Chen Ke's statement six times, asking him to pause so that he could finish the current record.

When Qi Huishen was writing desperately, You Wei said: "Wenqing, we don't have enough people. It's going to have to be hired. ”

"That's right, how are we going to recruit people?"

"I can get some people from the countryside. Anyway, there are so many people who have nothing to do now. Hua Xiongmao said.

"How are those people working? Can you do what we want them to do? Chen Ke asked.

"If they don't obey, I'll clean them up." Hua Xiongmao said.

You Wei glanced at Hua Xiongmao with disdain, "Then it's better to recruit people in Shanghai." ”

"Can the people here in Shanghai do a good job? Do you know the roots? Hua Xiongmao asked rhetorically.

"If you don't do a good job, you won't be paid. And those teachers, doctors, nurses, and Zhenglan can also be found from the countryside? You asked rhetorically.

"Those people are at least obedient, aren't they?"

"Hmmm! Obedient! I've opened factories with people before, but I haven't seen those relatives in the countryside who are so obedient. Clumsy, can't do anything well, you say two words to them, they will make trouble with you first. Even if they know that they are doing something wrong, those countrymen don't say it, and when they work, they will make you worse behind their backs. I would rather look for disobedient workers than these obedient people. After all, they hired workers and got paid for their work, but they knew they didn't get paid if they didn't do a good job. ”

It seems that You Yu has failed a lot of times before, and the resentment in these words is not ordinarily strong.

"According to you, there are no good relatives in the countryside."

"There should be good people, but good people can't get along in the countryside and run to the city? I've never seen a few good people like this. ”

"Nonsense! The workers in the city are treacherous and slippery, where is the good thing? ”

……

……

You Yu and Hua Xiongmao quarreled. Neither of them could convince anyone, but their emotions became more and more intense. Chen Ke watched them arguing and remained silent. Just snickering. Qi Huishen couldn't stand it anymore, he put down his pen, "Do you want me to write down your words?" ”

It worked, and the argument ended immediately.

You Wei glared at Hua Xiongmao menacingly, Hua Xiongmao snorted coldly, and turned his head away from You Yan.

Seeing that the two of them were no longer silent, Chen Ke said: "The revolution must have a revolutionary truth, and there is something in the revolutionary truth that I know that talks about what everyone just quarreled about. ”

"Wen Qing, hurry up, is what I said right or what Zhenglan said right?" You Yu said immediately.

"That's right! Wen Qing has to make this clear. Hua Xiongmao is not unrelenting.

"First of all, you are telling the truth, you are all seeing things with your own eyes. I'm sure of that. ”

"Humph!" You Wei and Hua Xiongmao weighed at the same time.

"Why is this happening, in the revolutionary doctrine, there are several aspects of this matter. However, we are not in the party class now, and the party class will start in the evening. So we move on to the topic at hand. Work plan for the next year. ”

Seeing that You Wei and Hua Xiongmao were a little unrelenting, Chen Ke said to Zhou Yuanxiao, who had been making a simple statement and not speaking: "Brother Zhou, you have also opened a factory, and we need an example of opening a factory on this topic." Brother Zhou is responsible for preparing this example, how? ”

Zhou Yuanxiao's face twitched, the failure of setting up a factory was something he refused to mention, Chen Ke actually proposed this example, Zhou Yuanxiao was very uncomfortable in his heart. "Forget it, Wen Qing. I don't want to mention it. ”

Chen Ke did not agree with Zhou Yuanxiao's statement, "Brother Zhou, this kind of thing must be understood, and if it is done, it must be a bit providential." But it didn't work out, and we must have not done it well. Since we have spent so much money and put so much effort into it, how did we fail, we have to make it clear, right? ”

"I admit it, don't mention it if you can." Zhou Yuanxiao said depressedly.

You Yu also disagreed, "No, Brother Zhou, you should talk about it and see how those people brought down your factory." After finishing speaking, she didn't care about Hua Xiongmao's dissatisfied eyes, "How did your rural relatives collapse your factory, you should make it clear, a lesson from the past, and a teacher from the future." Since we are going to continue to run factories, these things can no longer be wrong. ”

"That's right, Brother Zhou, you must say it." Hua Xiongmao said in the tone that resisted You.

"We are all comrades, don't hurt the harmony." Qi Huishen persuaded, "Wen Qing, you also talk about them, it's not right to talk like this." ”

Chen Ke said with a smile: "The reason why I want to lead everyone to revolution is because a real party member can see the whole world clearly. Now, the reason why You Yu and Zhenglan are arguing is because they are looking at the world with their own eyes, not to see what the world is really like. I think they're like kids arguing right now, and they don't figure out the point at all. ”

"It's also hurtful for children to quarrel." Qi Huishen heard what Chen Ke meant, and he smiled.

"What kind of harmony does a child hurt? The day before, I said, I won't play with you anymore, and we will still have fun together in a few days. This thing can't be persuaded. ”

Hearing this, You Wei said angrily: "I am a child. I'm reasoning. ”

"Oh, reasonable, let's move on to the meeting. We're here for a meeting, not a fight. Right? ”

For Chen Ke's tolerant and mature words, You Wei had no choice but to remain silent.

"I spoke about Capital last time. It talks about the development of enterprises. I also mentioned that in Sweden, 30% of child laborers die in factories before they reach adulthood. In Britain, after entering the factory, it is guaranteed to labor to death within three years. It's all true. The operation of capital has always been so bloody. In our textile factories in China, workers go to work regularly, have to rest during the New Year's holidays, and often eat some meat. We also have to have money to buy the cloth we spun, so foreigners' goods are cheaper than ours. Therefore, foreign goods rushed in, and our national currency could not be obtained. I'm going to tell you about this now, and I want to emphasize that I'm not trying to let this happen again, at least not myself. How can this be prevented? ”
