CHAPTER XV

Chen Ke was actually angry, and with an angry voice, his fingers poked at the broken table at the brigade headquarters. With that powerful movement, the table crumbled.

"Organizing people to eat can also kill people." This is something that Chen Ke has never thought about, "Do you not believe us like this?" After eating today, there is no tomorrow? ”

The comrades looked at Chen Ke in confusion as if there was a raging anger burning in their heads, how could they not kill people in the rush to grab this kind of relief food in a disaster year? Comrades who have seen this kind of thing feel that Chen Ke is really making a fuss. Not to mention tens of thousands of people, hundreds of people can die in disaster relief activities. In comparison, this time it was nothing at all. In fact, everyone is a little puzzled, why the labor activities originally carried out for the 359th Brigade of the Insurance Regiment should also improve the food for other agricultural reclamation "troops". Those "troops" are simply ordinary people who are temporarily attached to the insurance regiment. There are men, women, and children in the "agricultural reclamation brigade", and even if they are fighting to find people to die, such mixed troops are not the first choice.

You can think so in your heart, but you can't say it in your mouth. Everyone has been in the venue for a long time, and they already know that talking nonsense will not lead to any good results.

Seeing that the comrades did not support their position, they did not feel that they had done anything wrong. Chen Ke was also a little deflated. Thinking about his own time, queuing was something that could only be achieved by a well-trained organization, and Chen Ke felt that his anger was indeed a bit out of place.

But the mood will not be so easy to reverse, Chen Ke said with a dark face: "We have negotiated an agreement with the landlords, they will lend their land to the county yamen within two years, and the county yamen will entrust our insurance group to manage the land." ”

This news immediately aroused the enthusiasm of the comrades, and Hua Xiongmao was so happy that he almost stood up, "Sure enough, the negotiation is done!" His excitement was palpable. Hua Xiongmao's family is also a landlord, and he knows how difficult it is to get the landlords to make such concessions.

Chai Qingguo looked at Hua Xiongmao with some jealousy, although they were all comrades in the party, although he was the deputy head of the regiment, he didn't know that Chen Ke was negotiating like this. And Hua Xiongmao, who is the head of the regiment, can know in advance. The party says that it is equality, but the distant relatives know it at a glance. At this time, there are really a lot of comrades who have such thoughts. In fact, they have misunderstood, and it is impossible to inform military cadres about this kind of civil affairs work. Seven members of the Provisional Central Committee of the People's Party were aware of this.

Although Yuwen Badu didn't read much, he was much more sleek about human feelings, and when he saw everyone's expressions, he smiled and said, "This matter has been discussed within the secretariat committee. At that time, I was afraid that everyone would accidentally reveal the news, so there was no announcement for the time being. Now that Secretary Chen has done it, I want to tell you. After listening to this explanation, the comrades were a little relieved, and their originally complicated eyes softened a lot.

Chen Ke didn't think about it so much, but Yuwen Badu's words reminded him very well. The People's Party is no longer the small team in Shanghai. Along with the division of the Party Central Committee and other ordinary Party members, it is necessary to pay attention to what is said.

"Although the landlords have a lot of land, the people have just as much land. We have obtained the landlord's land, and these lands are not to be distributed to the people, not to rob the house, rob the rich and help the poor. Instead, it is necessary to use the land of the entire Fengtai County in a unified and centralized manner. With a new system so that everyone can live a good life. I hope that comrades can be sure of this. If you can't accept this fundamental starting point, then put it forward now. After you don't get to work, you change your mind again. When the organization's resolution is formed, everyone must implement it meticulously! In the last sentence, Chen Ke broke out of his teeth word by word. With each word, Chen Ke's fingers tapped on the table.

Some of the comrades could understand Chen Ke's sharp attitude, and some were very puzzled. Everyone has always resolutely carried out Chen Ke's orders, so what's the point of emphasizing this?

"Brigade Commander Chen, what the hell do you mean by that?" Chai Qingguo has developed a habit in the past six months, as long as it is at the party meeting, he always asks to the end what he doesn't understand. As for the reason for this, it is the after-effects of the collective vote expulsion from the Beijing party meeting, or the confusion about Chen Ke's seemingly simple but actually far-reaching orders. He couldn't tell the difference himself. However, Chai Qingguo knew that whenever Chen Ke spoke like this, something big would always happen.

Chen Ke did not conceal it, "We are about to promote cadres on a large scale, and we are about to conduct large-scale party school training. I would like Comrade Xiong Mingyang to introduce a little bit about the Manchu officialdom. Comrade Xiong Mingyang, come on. ”

Xiong Mingyang got the order and immediately got up. His family is a bureaucratic and knows the inside story of many things. His opening is simple, "Have you ever heard of Dream of Red Mansions?" The comrades half shook their heads, half nodded.

Xiong Mingyang started with the "talisman", the master in the Ming and Qing dynasties was very developed, and the industry of "master" was often inherited from his father, forming a very family industry. Master Shaoxing is particularly famous. An important reason for this situation is that the masters of Shaoxing have mastered the "inside story of the rules" of officialdom, and even have various pamphlets that have been secretly handed down. These pamphlets give detailed instructions on how to deal with officialdom. The relationship between the various faction families, the amount of silver that is dotted up and down for different things. Only when an official masters these things can he "not break the rules" and be considered "his own person". The reason why Shaoxing Master is famous is not that this place is naturally suitable for masters, but because they have accumulated the most knowledge and insider knowledge in these aspects, and the master industry is the most organized, so a monopoly industry has been formed.

Most of the comrades attending the meeting knew about this for the first time, and among these people there were no less than people with whom the bureaucrats had dealings, and they all had a sense of enlightenment after confirming their previous experience in their hearts.

After Xiong Mingyang finished speaking, Chen Ke took over the conversation and roughly described why the master's industry has declined greatly in the past twenty or thirty years. Because China's social system has also undergone a lot of changes. After foreigners came in, the rules that had been accumulated in the past were undermined by the rapid changes in the political situation. In particular, the rise of the Westernization school has introduced many new production methods, which has given Shaoxing masters, who were originally able to cover the national officialdom, a blank field. The masters also have rules that they can't know. The rise of the Westernists continued to affect the political structure of the imperial court, and the original rules were also constantly collapsing. Everyone spends money to support the master in order to be able to do things, and the master who can't do things will naturally not be welcomed, so the industry of the master began to decline rapidly.

"Brigade Commander Chen means to set rules for us." Xu Dian asked excitedly. As a law graduate, Xu Dian has a natural love for rules.

"It's not about making rules for you, it's about establishing the rules of the People's Party. I must be the first to follow the rules I set. Chen Ke replied a little angrily.

Xu Dian, who was criticized, did not feel the slightest dissatisfaction at all, his face was still full of excitement and longing, "The new system must have the rules of the new system." I strongly support it. As a law student, Xu Dian has always wanted to formulate a perfect law, and Chen Ke's instructions have made this law student see the way to practice his ideals.

The other comrades were not as excited as Xu Dian, and of course they couldn't imagine the legal provisions flying in the sea of Xu Dian's computer at this time. For those comrades who are politically savvy, they are concerned about what kind of rules they want to formulate, what kind of authority they will get through this new rule, and what kind of restrictions they will be subject to. Comrades who were less politically sensitive thought they would be prepared to accept the new rules if they were not so harsh.

Chen Ke looked at the different reactions of his comrades, and he also had mixed feelings in his heart. It's finally come to this! For more than a year, Chen Ke always did not dare to tell his comrades what he really thought, because there was no base area, and he could not speak and count in the base area, and the political debate would never be feasible at all, and it was just a round of nonsense for everyone to blow up to the air. Now, Chen Ke can finally fully expound his political ideas. Those who originally intended to be revolutionary stayed, and those who did not want to be revolutionary broke up amicably. This kind of excitement to be able to show his ambitions, although Chen Ke knew that it didn't mean anything, he still couldn't help but come out.

"Calm down, calm down." Chen Ke said to himself silently in his heart. Even now, it's not the time to pour beans into a bamboo tube and finish talking. If you want to control the situation, you must first get the support of a few important cadres. In other words, with the support of seven secretaries of the Provisional Central Committee of the entire BJP. To put it more simply, it is necessary to get the support of the army. The army must be firmly controlled. And this requires more convincing of a few people.

Chen Ke's gaze swept over the comrades, and several key figures, Hua Xiongmao, Chai Qingguo, He Zudao, Xu Dian, Xiong Mingyang, Kuroshima Renichiro, etc., these cadres in the army who were already in high positions slipped past Chen Ke's gaze in turn. As well as the newly promoted cadres Bai Bao, Dai Enze and others also entered Chen Ke's sight.

Start with the military, then persuade the party and government cadres, and finally solicit the opinions of the civil affairs cadres. Chen Ke has already identified his strategy.

Thinking is fast enough, and it's really fast. Really in the process of "making rules", Chen Ke has already thought about it. He suddenly felt a little uneasy, "making rules" means purging. There will definitely be people who will rise politically, and there will be people who will be left behind. Chen himself has never been a fan of campaigns like the Purge, because they are so uncontrollable that without a strong executive body they can be a terrible disaster. With regard to the People's Party and the Insurance Corps, which are all capable of causing casualties in the "Reclamation Corps" which are equivalent to "refugee camps," Chen Ke deeply understands the preciousness of cadres.

Let's do it first. Chen Ke persuaded himself. However, he knows very well that according to the current plan, as long as the contingent of cadres is expanded on a large scale, the ensuing large-scale rectification and even purge of rebellion will be inevitable. With the mission of saving the people, he has pulled many people into the position of cadres, but human nature is not so easy to change. Once power is gained, all kinds of depravity will inevitably come to the surface. Corrupt and self-enriched, Chen Ke had to criticize and punish these people from a righteous standpoint, and even kill their heads from a righteous standpoint. It's really a kind of black humor that leaves people speechless.
