Since ancient times, there has been a practice of the labor army, and it is a very important task to raise the salary and improve the life on a regular basis.

Chen Ke finished talking about Chai Qingguo's idea of the unstable mood of the troops and the idea of getting a few pigs to go to the labor army today, and Shang Yuan agreed very much, "It's been so hard for so long, so I have to let everyone have a good meal." ”

Most of the party members and cadres of the People's Party were on the front line at this time, and after Chen Ke and Shang Yuan, the two "leaders" of the People's Party, reached a consensus on the labor army, they no longer held a party meeting to discuss the matter. Umegawa Kamiyoshi, the head of the logistics department in charge of agricultural and sideline products, was quickly called over, "Comrade Umegawa, you are going to catch ten pigs now." If you want a boar, don't move the sow. ”

"Secretary Chen, we only have more than fifty pigs, isn't it a little ...... for you to take away ten pigs in this anger?" asked Mei Chuan with an embarrassed expression.

"Comrade Umegawa, thank you for your hard work." Chen Ke said suddenly.

"Huh?" Umegawa was puzzled by this. He just made some suggestions, why did Chen Ke suddenly become so polite? As a Japanese, Umegawa didn't understand.

Chen Ke's dark color was solemn, he approached Mei Chuan and took Mei Chuan's hand, "Comrade Mei Chuan, during the flood, the pig farm moved every few days, and you still had to raise earthworms, dung, mow grass, and reserve all kinds of feed. With someone else, we wouldn't have gone from about 20 pigs to more than 50. Your work has been fruitful. I am about to go to the labor army, and I will talk about your hard work in this labor army activity and praise you for such a serious work attitude. You are an example that everyone should follow. ”

After hearing this, Mei Chuan's eyes suddenly turned red, and he almost cried. The hard work these days really can't be explained in a few words. Japanese people have a strong sense of hierarchy, strong obedience, and a serious work attitude. If Umegawa works like this in Japan, there is absolutely no support, this is a natural thing in Japan, Umegawa has done it, it is natural, if he does not do it well, he will be scolded and punished. Hearing Chen Ke's high-profile evaluation, Mei Chuan's lips trembled, and he held back a sentence for a long time, "Hi Yi!" ”

"Comrade Umegawa, the laborers are the most glorious. It's the credit you deserve. Chen Ke said seriously.

"Hi Yi!" Mei Chuan was still this emotional response under emotion.

The Japanese comrades have a delicate position in the insurance group, and Chen Ke really has the ability to do it to them. The obedience of the Japanese comrades and the discipline in the organization are very good. Moreover, they are "outsiders", and their "loyalty" is first and foremost aimed at Chen Tianhua himself. Chen Tianhua is now working in Hebei, Chen Tianhua is a supporter of Chen Ke's ideas, and the book "China's Historical Inheritance and the Rise of Materialism" convinced these Japanese young people who were seeking the revolutionary road, so the loyalty of these comrades shifted to Chen Ke, who had the highest status in the People's Party.

Chen Ke knows this, at this stage, there are not many people who can be unconditionally loyal to Chen Ke, and even fewer people can unconditionally obey Chen Ke. In order to carry out his revolutionary line, these comrades, whether Chinese or foreigners, Chen Ke would entrust them with important tasks. So he smiled and said, "Comrade Mei Chuan, in view of your work performance, we will have further work arrangements for you. I want to tell you, you are raising 50 pigs now, and in the future you will lead many people to raise 50,000 pigs, 500,000 pigs. You have to be mentally prepared for this. ”

The Umegawa family is a "landlord" in Japan, and by Japanese standards, they are not yet "small landlords". But when he arrived in China, he found that his family's hundreds of acres of land were nothing. After Chen Ke taught Umegawa how to raise earthworms and pigs, Umegawa went about it with a serious spirit unique to the Japanese. Hearing Chen Ke talk about the number of "50,000 heads, 500,000 heads", Mei Chuan was still shocked. The relationship between superiors and subordinates in Japan is very blunt, and according to Japanese rules, Chen Ke, as Mei Chuan's superior, will do what Mei Chuan says. However, Mei Chuan is also a revolutionary youth, and he has been in the People's Party for so long, so he finally has a little habit of intra-party democracy, "Brigade Commander Chen, these people who are now in charge of raising pigs ......" Mei Chuan asked.

"I'll give you more people in the future. What's more important is that you have to learn to raise scientifically. Science and the people's ownership of the country are what we revolutionaries aspire to. A revolutionary is necessarily a man of science. Comrade Umegawa, you must keep learning and making progress. ”

For such a clear request, Mei Chuan stood straight, his expression was serious, his eyes were bright, and he said from the bottom of his heart: "Hi Yi! ”

"You're going to do this one thing in the next three to five years, can you accept that?" Chen Kezheng asked.

"Hi Yi!" Mei Chuan still had a serious look, and he also gave the same answer.

After receiving Mei Chuan's accurate reply, Chen Ke nodded. "Sows still have to keep their young, so they can't definitely be killed," he said. In addition to the boar that is the breeding pig, you find ten big ones and catch them. ”

"Hi Yi!" Umegawa responded.

"Go ahead." Chen Ke waved his hand.

After Mei Chuan left, Shang Yuan asked, "Wen Qing, you are about to start promoting cadres." ”

"That's right, the stall has been rolled out, how can you do it without promoting people. Brother Wangshan, the supervision department will have a very heavy job in the future. In fact, I have always wanted you to take on the position of director of the political department, which is dedicated to leading the political work and supervision departments. If the revolution wants to succeed, it must have discipline and rules. Speaking of this, Chen Ke suddenly sighed. But he said no more.

Shang Yuan saw that Chen Ke looked a little helpless, and couldn't help but smile: "If a country has discipline, rules, and science, the people are the masters of the country." Isn't this revolution a complete success? So what else do we need to do? So Wenqing, you don't have to worry. ”

"Why don't you bother? The socialist revolution, the ** revolution, is anti-human in many places. Eating, drinking, prostitution, gambling, fame and status, these low-level interesting things are all liked by human nature, and they are all instincts. Chen Ke complained rarely.

"Haha, Wen Qing. Why did you suddenly talk about this? The two of us still have to hold a meeting of criticism and self-criticism. Although Shang Yuan looked smiling, the smile was not strong.

"I've been so busy this time, and things have just come to an eyebrow. As soon as my heart relaxed, I wanted to complain and talk. If it weren't for the fact that the materials are so scarce now and the conditions don't allow it, I would have liked to have a drink with Brother Wangshan. ”

"It's the same with water?" Shang Yuan heard Chen Ke say this, and pushed a water bowl down in front of Chen Ke. Pour water into it, and pour water into the bowl of water in front of you. This already has the meaning of having a meeting with Chen Ke.

Chen Ke wanted to speak, but he stopped talking. Shang Yuan, such a shrewd person, had already guessed Chen Ke's thoughts, "Wen Qing, do you think you should hold this meeting with Zhenglan, Zudao, and some comrades who have performed very well." I know. I should have suggested that you have this meeting while you were in the army. But I have something to say to you this time. ”

Hearing Shang Yuan say this, Chen Kezhi was a little surprised, he patronized the depression in his heart, and only thought about himself. But I didn't notice that I would also be depressed if I was convinced that the work was still far away. Thinking of this, his face turned slightly red, and he was already a little apologetic.

Shang Yuan could see it clearly, he stretched out comfortably, and his forearms were flat on the table to support his upper body. "Wen Qing, do you remember the incident when we went to visit my teacher, Mr. Li Hongqi?"

"Yes." Chen Keying said.

"Actually, Mr. Li was against me following you at that time."

"Mr. Li is a true Confucian. I'm far from him. ”

"I followed you only because you had a prescient mind. As far as you are concerned, far worse than your book. I wanted to save the country, and although you had many problems, there was always the benefit of foresight. So I thought, make do with it. I've seen anyone better than you. ”

If he had just returned to 1905, Chen Ke would have been modest. If it was in the twenty-first century, Chen Ke would snort coldly if he was afraid, and then listen to what bad things Shang Yuan was going to say about himself with complete resistance. But Chen Ke has changed, his heart is at peace, and he just listens quietly. Chen Ke's heart has never been so calm.

The heart is calm, the expression is naturally completely relaxed, and the demeanor is very focused. Shang Yuan couldn't help but laugh after seeing it. "Wen Qing, if you meet Teacher Li Hongqi, you are like this, Teacher Li will never refuse me to follow you to revolutionize."

"That's not necessarily, Mr. Li feels sorry for you as a student. The revolution is precarious, and he will not be willing to follow anyone. Chen Ke felt that he didn't feel anything about Shang Yuan's praise, but he had to say this to Mr. Li Hongqi, whom he also respected. Because this is the sincere idea of Mr. Li Hongqi.

Shang Yuan knew that what Chen Ke said was indeed his teacher's sincere thoughts, and thinking of the teacher's love for him, Shang Yuan felt warm in his heart, and he was speechless for a while. And he originally wanted to say some harsh words to Chen Ke, but his mood changed, and his mood also changed, and when he opened his mouth again, he found that his original train of thought was a little disconnected. Raising his eyes to look at Chen Ke, he saw that Chen Ke still looked calm, looking at himself with a focused attitude, Shang Yuan felt a little soft-hearted.

"Wenqing, in fact, when I came to Anhui, I originally thought that I would dominate the situation." Shang Yuan tentatively said what was in his heart.

"The revolutionary thing is to give up who else we are. Of course, those who are capable must dominate the situation. Chen Ke said with affection. These were meant to be the words of a demonstration. If it weren't for his attitude at this time, and the kind of sincerity revealed in his tone and demeanor that would definitely not cause ambiguity to Shang Yuan, these words alone would have made the two of them deviate.

Shang Yuan did not misunderstand Chen Ke's meaning, he was very happy to see Chen Ke so open-minded. "I don't think so now, if you can do it like this, I'll help you wholeheartedly. You have many problems, but you are better than me in revolutionary things. ”

Looking at Shang Yuan's sincere face, Chen Ke sighed: "Brother Wangshan, doing a revolution is not something that a few people like you who have high character and can eliminate low-level tastes can do it together. We, the members of the BJP, must be able to do that. The soldiers of our insurance regiment also need to do this, and our cadres also need to do this. This is the only way to face those powerful enemies. Otherwise, we will fail. ”

"Eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling are all normal**. Wenqing: How did you get rid of it? Shang Yuan asked.

"Because there are some things that are more important to me, and I can't do them if I were indulging in eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling." Chen Ke gave an explanation.

"I'm afraid this doesn't go to the root." Shang Yuan's expression said calmly.

Chen Ke nodded, "Well, too." If I really got rid of it, the only thing I had to do was gamble. When I was in school, I was still young, and my fingers were soft and flexible at that time, and I worked throwing dice, not to mention how many points I wanted to throw, which was much better than ordinary people. One day I was playing dice with a classmate. I was still a female classmate, and I thought I could definitely win, but I would lose every battle, and I lost 20 cents. Oh, it's twenty cents. When I first started, the more I lost, the more I wanted to win, and no matter how good I was, I would definitely lose. Then it occurred to me that I had lost 20 cents now, and I wanted to win it back. If I participate in gambling in the future, I will lose 200 taels. So how much do I want to win it back? As the old saying goes, every time you gamble, you lose. I know I can't fool myself, I want to win. Since then, I have known that gambling is never going to win, and I will never be involved in this kind of thing. If it's just a chance encounter with everyone, I can't avoid such scenes, just lose some money to make fun for everyone. If I really gamble, I won't participate in a penny. I know that if you get involved, you lose. ”

"That's very good." Shang Yuan praised, "But Wenqing has nothing to worry about other comrades." ”

"The heart is weak, and it cannot withstand temptation. Brother Wangshan, after I figured out the harm of gambling at that time, I was really sweating and honestly afraid. Because when I wanted to win back the twenty dollars, in order to win the bet, I was so anxious and focused, it was really nine deaths without regrets. When I understood that I was on the way to death, I turned around in front of the ghost gate, and I still remember the joy and fear after the catastrophe. After all, man cherishes his own life. When you can't gamble without money, many people still believe in gambling in their hearts. I occasionally have to participate, but I don't believe in gambling at all, don't look at them not gambling, I am participating in gambling. It's completely different. ”

"Is that why you want to commend Comrade Umegawa?" Shang Yuan asked.

"Yes." Chen Ke replied decisively: "Comrade Umegawa, as a Japanese, believes that there should be a better system in the world, and that the current world is so tyrannical that revolution is necessary. So he crossed the ocean to China's demand revolution. This was his revolutionary position. For work, he works hard and wholeheartedly. As for the work of raising pigs, other comrades of our People's Party are unwilling to do it. Well, the same can't be said either. If I let He Zudao do it, I believe he will do the same. This is the attitude towards revolutionary work. This time, Comrade Chai Qingguo came to say that everyone's mood was fluctuating because our political and ideological work was not in place. I am ready to intensify my political and ideological work. ”

Shang Yuan nodded slightly, Chen Ke's words completely attracted him. When Shang Yuan first met Chen Ke, he really didn't really take Chen Ke's own virtue and ability seriously. Chen Ke has no interest in the "precious things" of this era, and he can also know that Chen Ke eats, drinks, and lives in an extremely "luxurious" way. Although Chen Ke's ideas made Shang Yuan admire him very much, Chen Ke was still a very impetuous young man at that time. I know some truths, but I can't effectively turn them into practical actions. Chen Ke only showed that he was extremely well educated. As for Chen Ke himself, the distance is respectable, but it is too far away. And this contrast makes Shang Yuan's evaluation of Chen Ke even lower. Even ordinary people, who grew up in such a superior environment and received such an excellent education, should be even better.

The reason why he showed respect for Chen Ke in party affairs was that Shang Yuan knew that this was what he should do. Even if Chen Ke is no longer successful, if he is far from being able to show this, the party organization itself will be in chaos first. Even out of respect for himself, Shang Yuan couldn't help but support Chen Ke.

But since arriving in this Fengtai County, Shang Yuan felt that his thoughts were shaken. Maybe some people are really heroes in troubled times. Whether it is a natural disaster or a **, Chen Ke can always come up with countermeasures as soon as possible, and it turns out afterwards that Chen Ke's countermeasures are still the most effective. If this is the result of Chen Ke's education, then Chen Ke's educational environment is already a far from unimaginable superiority. And Chen Ke is also changing, after not experiencing a thing, he will have some changes either bright or dark. He's still growing.

So Shang Yuan wants to have a good talk with Chen Ke, and he may not have any purpose, but Shang Yuan has a real expectation for Chen Ke. Listening to Chen Ke's narration, Shang Yuan felt that his expectations were correct, perhaps Chen Ke was Chen Ke himself, not Chen Ke's theories. Chen Ke himself may really have value worth following. Shang Yuan couldn't help but think about it.
