The day after Yan Fu visited Chen Ke, Qin Wu, an accountant of the People's Party, and Chen Ke paid the day's wages to the workers of the school's construction team. After Chen Ke and Yu Wenba negotiated the price, they paid the workers every day "on their own initiative". This is a loophole in the contract, because there is no provision for who should pay the salary. Qin Wuan and Du Zhenghui, as supervisors, are responsible for the payment of salaries every day.

Yuwen Badu seemed to have eaten a sour persimmon, and his face was almost twisted together. He had never seen such a "master house".

As a contractor in 1905, Yuwen Badu was quite capable. Of course, Yuwenba is very familiar with all kinds of small methods of picking money. The most important of these is nothing more than a firm grasp of the power to send money.

Chen Ke is a very shrewd rich man in Yuwen Batu's impression, and he is still a well-read person looking at his dress. Yuwen Badu has also seen this kind of person, most of them are bitter and fastidious. They seldom go to the construction site, and when they do, they look at the workers with a disdain mixed with what they feel is superior. Then pretend to patrol around, and then find some faults if you have nothing to do. Of course, some of the more tolerant may pretend to be bold and claim to add food to the workers. Those who don't make it will shout for money to be deducted.

No matter how much trouble they make, Yuwenba can handle it. And it's actually not bad for them to make such a fuss, and those fellow villagers below sometimes need to be beaten and beaten. They are lazy when they are fine. Anyway, the power to send money is in the hands of Yuwen Badu, and he just took these opportunities to give Yuwen Badu the opportunity to deduct some wages.

So when Yuwen Badu lost control over the money, his pain and panic even exceeded his own imagination. This is the first time in so many years that Yuwen Badu has encountered such a situation. If it was before, Yuwen Badu still had the last trick to break the net, that is, he simply pulled the engineering team away, and then spread a lot of bad words about the owner of the house. Halfway through the project, it was suddenly abandoned. The master over there definitely couldn't bear it, and in the end, he had to go back to Qingyu Wenba.

Now, it is not only Yuwen Batu's engineering team that is busy on the construction site, but also Chen Ke's own engineering team, which is even more than Yuwen Batu's people. The picker can not play the role of stucking the neck at all. Seeing his fellow villagers lining up neatly, smiling and receiving their wages, Yuwenba felt panicked.

At the party meeting in the evening, after Qin Wushu informed the comrades of the progress of the project. Chen Ke said to the party group members: "How to win over the masses, we must first know where the interests of the masses lie. It is important to take into account not only long-term interests, but especially short-term interests. Let's try to win over the Anhui team of Yuwen Batu first. ”

This is a formal party meeting, and as the chairman of this party meeting, Chen Ke is arranging work to his comrades.

"To what extent?" Qi will ask deeply. Within the People's Party, Qi Huishen has clearly taken second place. No one tried to challenge Qi Huishen's status, but Chen Ke knew that many comrades were already dissatisfied with Qi Huishen's almost all the work. For example, Hua Xiongmao.

"Who is going to do this?" Hua Xiongmao asked in a flirtatious tone. It was Hua Xiongmao who introduced Yuwen Badu to Chen Ke, and Chen Ke was the first to propose to win over Yuwen Badu, which was also said to Hua Xiongmao. Naturally, he would prefer to be in charge of the work himself.

Qi Huishen already has a lot of work at hand now, and if he takes on this, he really can't bear it. However, Hua Xiongmao's words made Qi Huishen feel very uncomfortable. With Chen Ke as an example, Qi Huishen also works tirelessly, going to bed late and getting up early every day. Hua Zaiqi heard that Xiongmao's words obviously meant ridicule, rather than volunteering to take on the work.

Before Qi would speak, Chen Ke had already taken the conversation. "It's not okay to grab a beard and eyebrows. I now have a proposal. ”

After listening to Chen Ke's words, Hua Xiongmao looked at Chen Ke with anticipation. Other comrades did not take care of this work even on their own heads. But I don't really care.

"Comrades, the first part of the party class has been completed. I think you already know the program and purpose of the BJP, right? Chen Ke's words were quite surprising to the comrades. But everyone cheered up.

"I already know." Hua Xiong Maoqiang said in front of Qi Huishen. Now that Hua Xiongmao has spoken, everyone doesn't want to say anything more.

"The program of the People's Party is to launch the people's revolution and establish a socialist New China. I wonder what the comrades have to say about this? Chen Ke asked.

You Yan's eyebrows furrowed slightly, out of a woman's keen intuition, You Wei felt that there was something else in these words. "I don't have a problem with that. What the hell is Wenqing going to do? Well, it should be said, what are the Wenqing going to do to the People's Party? ”

"I am ready to reorganize the BJP." Chen Ke answered this question bluntly.

Most of the comrades looked surprised. Zhou Yuanxiao still looked cold. Chen Tianhua and He Zudao were a little nervous. Wu Xingchen looked like he was grinning, and he could do whatever Chen Ke wanted. Qin Wu'an's expression was as usual, just listening to Chen Ke's speech seriously.

"I must say today that the first phase of the work to be carried out will be in the future. The goal is to build a base area and launch an armed uprising. This is already going to be a rebellion. No, this is already a rebellion. So I ask you to think seriously about whether you are willing to participate in the revolution. ”

After Chen Ke finished speaking, he glanced around at the comrades. After Chen Ke finished talking about the materialist view of history, the comrades knew that Chen Ke was going to rebel, but after Chen Ke said this clearly, everyone still felt a little shocked.

"Can I quit?" Zhou Yuanxiao broke the silence.

Chen Ke nodded, "Yes, I don't force anyone to stay." Brother Zhou, I will talk to you about the workshop later. As a friend, I hope Brother Zhou will keep something secret for us. ”

Everyone's eyes were focused on Zhou Yuanxiao, Zhou Yuanxiao stood up in such a puzzled and dissatisfied gaze, he looked a little relieved, and replied to Chen Ke's reminder: "Wen Qing, don't worry, I will never betray everyone." ”

You Wei wanted to say something, probably to persuade Zhou Yuanxiao to stay. But I wanted to say it a few times, but I couldn't say it. In the end, she simply turned around, probably because she didn't want to see Zhou Yuanxiao leave the venue. Chen Ke noticed this, and he smiled gently at You Gui. You Wei saw Chen Ke's smile, but lowered his head.

Zhou Yuanxiao walked out of the crowd as quickly as relieved, and when he reached the door, his pace slowed down. Zhou Yuanxiao didn't want to participate in the rebellion, making rice meant going against the court, and if he was caught by the court, he would be killed. He was not stupid, halfway through the lecture, Zhou Yuanxiao knew very well that Chen Ke was bound to rebel. Although Chen Ke assured Zhou Yuanxiao that he would not be allowed to participate in the armed struggle. But if there is really a rebellion, can Chen Ke's words be realized?

Zhou Yuanxiao joined Chen Ke's party when he was desperate. If Chen Ke really rebelled at that time, maybe Zhou Yuanxiao would follow Chen Ke. Zhou Yuanxiao still remembers that Chen Ke said confidently at that time: "Brother Zhou, if you become a party member, you will become a new person." ”

Yes, after becoming a party member and listening to the party class, Zhou Yuanxiao has indeed changed. Chen Ke's lectures to students are superficial. After the open class, Chen Ke will speak more deeply. Not only the materialist view of history, but also Capital. Zhou Yuanxiao really didn't know that there was such a truth in the world. Uncovering the complicated surface of this world, there are such invisible laws that govern the operation of the world. Zhou Yuanxiao doesn't have much work, and he has a lot of time to reflect. Compared with his past experience, Zhou Yuanxiao can finally see what he did wrong back then. Why is it a mess.

"If I could do it all over again, I wouldn't fail." Zhou Yuanxiao couldn't help but say to himself. It is because of this self-confidence that Zhou Yuanxiao no longer wants to go to the revolution. For him, instead of looking forward to the fruits of the revolution that he does not know when he will be realized in the future, it is better to seize the present to recover his family business.

Zhou Yuanxiao could see that these people really wanted to rebel. Since he made this determination, he didn't dare to say it. Chen Ke looked gentle, but with the ruthlessness with which he did his work, Zhou Yuanxiao knew that Chen Ke was by no means such a good talker. Qi Huishen and Hua Xiongmao are not good stubble. There is also Wu Xingchen, who always likes to laugh darkly, and after seeing the translator who offended You Wei and Chen Ke and was beaten miserably, Zhou Yuanxiao knew that he would definitely not be able to provoke Wu Xingchen. If these people feel that they are unreliable, they are afraid that they will not be able to escape the clutches of the People's Party.

Originally, Zhou Yuanxiao was still worried that he didn't know when he would be able to propose to Chen Ke that he would leave the People's Party. I didn't expect to have an opportunity so soon. I didn't expect Chen Ke to be so reasonable. Warn yourself not to divulge the secrets of these people, Zhou Yuanxiao will never divulge them. These people don't do anything at all now, so what can they do if they sue the official? And that Qi Huishen is so keen on revolution, but he is also the young master of the Qi family. I think even if the BJP is arrested, it won't really be fine.

Even if the government really killed Qi Huishen, the master of the Qi family knew that the person who betrayed his only son was himself, and he didn't have to think about his fate at all.

With a mood of "hurriedly escaping from Jinshan Temple", Zhou Yuanxiao walked quickly to the gate, but couldn't help but stop. A strong feeling of discomfort popped in. Among the people behind her is Youyu, who helped her in her most difficult time, and that is a kindness in the snow. Not to mention Chen Ke, it was all thanks to Chen Ke that he could reinvigorate. What's more, the past few months of getting along day and night have made Zhou Yuanxiao feel so accustomed to it, and now that he is leaving here, he feels like he has been exiled from a warm family. Zhou Yuanxiao stood at the door, as long as he took one more step forward, he could get out of the dangerous future, but he felt that his legs were like being filled with lead, and he couldn't take this step.

Zhou Yuanxiao turned his head, everyone was still sitting there like Fang Cai, the distance was relatively far, and the kind of reproachful eyes that could be clearly distinguished could no longer be seen clearly. Zhou Yuanxiao saw You Yu raise his head, and there should have been a look of expectation on his face. And Chen Ke looked at himself with a smile on his face. It was a smile of understanding. Zhou Yuanxiao made up his mind again, and he said loudly: "I will never betray everyone." Rest assured, everyone. Then he turned around and walked out the door.

Seeing that Zhou Yuanxiao really left, Chen Ke breathed a sigh of relief. So far, Zhou Yuanxiao was not a real revolutionary. Even if Zhou Yuanxiao doesn't leave, Chen Ke will not entrust him with a heavy responsibility. It is a good thing that Zhou Yuanxiao has the courage to take the initiative to leave. With him taking the lead, I think that if other comrades want to leave, they will be more courageous. Voluntary party members must be left in an organization, otherwise, those who are not loyal will inevitably become a hidden danger.

"There are comrades who have not left. If you feel like you don't want to rebel, leave now. ”

No one spoke, waited for a while, and no one left.

"So, comrades. The People's Party is not only about overthrowing the Manchu government, but first of all, as a political party, the People's Party is an organization, and this organization has its own discipline. I have already drawn up the organizational discipline. Please take a look at it, comrades. After speaking, Chen Ke took out a stack of documents and distributed them to everyone.

Chen Tianhua got this document, only to see that it was Chen Kena's pen words that could be seen, but it was not a printed document. Chen Tianhua secretly wondered, could it be that when this program was drafted, Chen Ke didn't discuss it with Qi Huishen? glanced at Qi Huishen, and saw that he was reading the document intently. Chen Tianhua buried his doubts in his heart and began to read the documents.

1. The party shall be named the "Chinese People's Party."

2. The Party's program is as follows:

(1) The revolutionary army must work with the proletariat to overthrow the Manchu regime consisting of the landlords and the elite classes, and must support the workers and peasants until the class distinctions in society are removed;

(2) recognition of the dictatorship of the proletariat until the end of the class struggle, i.e. until the abolition of class distinctions in society;

(3) the elimination of private ownership of land and the establishment of a modern industrial state dominated by communal ownership;

(4) United Second International.

3. The Party recognizes the system of the Council of Representatives, the organization of the workers, peasants, laborers and soldiers, and the fundamental political purpose of the Party is to carry out the social revolution; Members of the Chinese People's Party must completely sever all ties with parties and groups that attempt to oppose their own program. Party members must strictly abide by the principle that the individual is subordinate to the organization, the minority is subordinate to the majority, the lower levels are subordinate to the superiors, and the whole party is subordinate to the central authorities. This is true for both ordinary party members and cadre party members.

4. All those who recognize the program and policies of the Party and are willing to become loyal Party members may be accepted as Party members and become our comrades after being introduced by one of the Party members, regardless of gender or nationality. But before joining our ranks, we must sever all ties with parties and groups that seek to oppose our programme.

5. The procedure for admitting new Party members is as follows: Alternate Party members must be inspected by the committee where they are located for a period of at least two months. After the expiration of the inspection period, they can only be admitted to the party with the consent of the majority of party members. If there is an Executive Committee in the region, it shall be approved by the Executive Committee.

6. When the Party is in a state of secrecy, the Party's important propositions and Party membership shall be kept secret.

7. Where there are five or more Party members, a committee shall be established.

8. Members of the committee may be transferred to another local committee upon referral by the secretary of the local committee.

9. Any local committee with no more than 10 Party members shall have a secretary; If there are more than 10 members, there shall be one finance committee, one organization committee member and one publicity committee; If there are more than 30 members, an executive committee shall be elected from among the members of the committee. The charter of the Executive Committee shall be established separately.

10. When there are a large number of Party members in the local organizations of workers, peasants, soldiers, and students, they may be sent to work in other areas, but they must be strictly supervised by the local executive committees.

The finances, activities and policies of the local committees shall be subject to the supervision of the Central Executive Committee.

13. Where the number of members of the committee exceeds 500, or where there are five committees in the same locality, the National Congress shall appoint ten members to form the executive committee. If the above requirements cannot be met, an interim Central Executive Committee shall be established. The work and organizational rules of the Executive Committee are set out separately.

14. Party members shall not serve as government officials or members of the National Assembly unless compelled by law and without the permission of the Party. Soldiers, police officers and staff are exempt from this restriction.

15. This program may only be amended with the consent of two-thirds of the deputies of the whole country.

The document is not long, and Chen Ke's words are not large, and he was finished in less than a page. The book on the materialist view of history written by Chen Tianhua and Chen Ke was discussed a lot. After returning to the People's Party, he and Chen Ke also had many in-depth discussions. Other comrades have even received a comprehensive party class education, or at least a comprehensive theoretical education. This party's organizational program can be understood by everyone.

Chen Tianhua's eyes fell on Article 3, "Members of the Chinese People's Party must sever all ties with parties and groups that attempt to oppose their party program." Chen Ke once very clearly expounded the difference between the people's revolution and the propertied revolution. For Chen Tianhua, if he joins the People's Party, he must sever all relations with the League and the Huaxing Association. Buttoning the words word by word, Chen Tianhua was very uncalm in his heart. Huang Xing and Song Jiaoren were Chen Tianhua's close comrades-in-arms. Severing relationships, or all relationships, is a very harsh one.

At this time, Hua Xiongmao was heard laughing and said, "Wen Qing, you prepared this program before you met me, right?" Hearing this, Chen Tianhua looked up at Hua Xiongmao. Not only Chen Tianhua, everyone's eyes fell on Hua Xiongmao's face. After getting along for so many months, everyone knew that Hua Xiongmao was the first to follow Chen Ke in the party. Although Qi Huishen's status has risen rapidly, he has not known Chen Ke very early. You Wei, Wu Xingchen, and even Zhou Yuanxiao, who had just left, all knew Chen Ke earlier than Qi Huishen. Hua Xiongmao said this, is he faintly showing his qualifications? Demonstrate to Qi Huishen?

I only heard Hua Xiongmao continue to read: "When the party is in a state of secrecy, the party's important propositions and party membership should be kept secret. Wen Qing, you have been abiding by this discipline. Everyone has known you for so long, and you have not talked about the party's important propositions for a long time. Ha ha. Sure enough, he is a good party member. ”

Qi Hui glanced at Hua Xiongmao, but did not make any comments on Hua Xiongmao's words. He asked with a little hesitation: "Wenqing, what will the party do about the preparation of compradors in the future?" Hearing this, You Yan's eyes lit up, and he stared at Chen Ke intently. Others also waited for Chen Ke to answer with their own different worries.

"This document is our organizational agenda. Today I would also like to discuss the organizational model of the BJP. The problem of going deep has actually been talked about in the party class before. Chen Ke calmly answered the question.

Chen Tianhua attended a big lecture held by the People's Party, but then he went to Japan. The BJP's party class did not take part. He glanced around at the others, only to see that everyone was frowning and pondering, even Wu Xingchen.

Chen Ke saw that everyone didn't speak, and he thought that everyone wouldn't say anything more, so he simply spoke, "I came out to revolutionize, but my parents didn't let me report to my family." Huishen and Youwu are compradors and landlords. Zhenglan's family, gentry, landlord. Brother Wu is the hall master of the Heaven and Earth Society. Foot Road and Wu Anjia, workshop owners, petty bourgeoisie. Tianhua and Huaxing will have an irreversible relationship with the alliance. The eight of us are all from the old system. If you have to say that you are wealthy, no one is a poor person. But what is organizational discipline built on? Build on what we stand for. Are we on the standpoint of the people's revolution or on the standpoint of other classes? This little bit determines everyone's choice. ”

After Chen Ke finished speaking, he looked at everyone, but the comrades still had no intention of speaking, and everyone was listening and pondering.

"Let's vote now, who stands on the stand of the people's revolution?" After speaking, Chen Ke raised his hand. One by one, all raised their arms in the air. The first one to raise his arm was actually Wu Xingchen, Chen Ke was a little puzzled why he was so active.

"Hand down." Chen Ke said, and after speaking, Chen Ke put down his arm first.

"As I said, revolution is not for the sake of killing people, and I will not let everyone kill their fathers and mothers to prove their revolutionary consciousness. If we are the people, including the new party members in the future. Parents, relatives and friends in the family, if they stand on a different political side than ours, even become reactionaries. As long as they don't raise their butcher's knives to the people, we won't touch them. Even if they have sinned against the people, as long as they can repent of it, we will give the way and the policy. ”

Hearing this, You Yu breathed a sigh of relief. At this moment, Chen Ke said heavily: "But! Hearing this heavy and loud "but", You Wei shuddered slightly.

"However, the organization of our party requires that everyone's position must not be wrong. Parents, relatives, and friends should not take sides with any party or group that attempts to oppose the party's program. Party members are not allowed to defect to the Party and to join parties and groups that seek to oppose their own programme. If you can't do that, now is the time to leave. If you think you will be in Cao Ying, your heart will be in Han, or you will step on two boats. Then please leave now. Because, after the adoption of this charter, I will lead everyone to take the oath to join the party. Leaving now, we just have different political positions, and we are still friends. Once you have taken the oath and leave because you cannot abide by the party's discipline, you are a traitor. I assure you that we will not spare any traitor in the process of overthrowing the Manchu regime that will begin immediately. ”

"I was originally a party member, and I joined." Hua Xiongmao said with a big grin, "Let's vote now." ”

"Wait a minute." Chen Tianhua interrupted the voting process. "Wen Qing, what do you think of other parties?"

"That's a technical thing. We are voting on your position. Chen Ke smiled after speaking, different from the previous smile, Chen Ke's face was indeed smiling, but his eyes were not smiling, and the pair of elite eyes were bright as if they could see through people's minds.

Chen Tianhua immediately understood that if according to organizational discipline, his performance was actually a standard behavior that could not be severed from "parties and groups that attempt to oppose the party's program."

Chen Tianhua participated in the establishment of the League, and also participated in the fierce internal debates and factional struggles, and he was very clear about the purpose of the various factions of the League. The political positions between the People's Party and the League, between the People's Party and Soong Jiaoren, were destined to erupt into fierce conflicts. More precisely, the two sides will inevitably be in a state of hostility in the future.

I don't know when, Chen Tianhua had closed his eyes, and his teeth were clenched so tightly that the muscles in his cheeks bulged. Huang Xing and Song Jiaoren's voices and smiles appeared in his mind. The friendship of comrades-in-arms is by no means so easy to part. But Chen Tianhua knows that he has gone through so much thinking and exploration, so many failures and encountering walls. After meeting Chen Ke, he found a path where he could really see the future. As soon as I think of this, the fear and hesitation I had back then come back to my mind. That deep despair, as if falling into a bottomless abyss, and not knowing where the end is.

At this moment, Chen Ke's gentle voice came into Chen Tianhua's ear drums, "Xingtai, if you can't decide." More on that later. ”

Chen Tianhua opened his eyes and saw that Chen Ke had returned to his usual gentle look, and Chen Ke even looked at him with a smile on his face, with a look of understanding and tolerance in his eyes. Although some of the comrades around him were disdainful on their faces, Qi Huishen and You Yu's expectant looks warmed Chen Tianhua's heart. That was not the most common look of persecution and coercion that Chen Tianhua had with other revolutionary party comrades. Rather, it is the encouraging gaze of the comrades who walk in front and look forward to the fact that they who are lagging behind can catch up quickly.

During this period in the People's Party, there was no intrigue, no perverse tyranny and tyranny caused by disappointment. It is an organization that keeps moving forward through hard and serious work through the acquisition of knowledge. Although there are quarrels, they hurt anyone. Everyone always has laughter, as if it is a warm fire in the cold night, which not only points out the direction for those who travel in the cruel cold and dark, but also makes the hearts of those who travel in the cruel dark night feel warm.

"No need. I joined the party. I will strictly abide by all the organizational disciplines of the People's Party. Chen Tianhua said firmly.
