From Chief to Ball

The reason why Chen Jian took it out to explain it was because the safety lamp was made by a new workshop he controlled and could be sold.By the way, expand your reputation and influence, increase the output of coal mines, and improve the technical level of mining.

He doesn't believe in improvement at all from the bottom of his heart, but all thoughts are from naivety to maturity, and some people need to mature from failures and obstacles, at least to strive for a nominal equality, at least to think about some deeper things. It cannot be thought of by a genius all of a sudden, it needs a foundation.

Science is the foundation, and thought is also the foundation. What can be done is to popularize it little by little, and do not pursue illusions without material foundation as much as one can.

Therefore, after explaining the principle and usage of the metal mesh safety light, Chen Jian said firmly and solemnly: "Comrades, since our ambition is to improve this society, let's start with the most inconspicuous little things. Change little by little, don't rush it."

"This safety light is a good opportunity. I think you must know how dangerous the mine is after listening to the master miner. Once it explodes, it is very difficult to survive. We must be good people and be charitable. Start bit by bit."

"Since we believe that miners without voting rights are also human beings, then these people are brothers of our compatriots and ancestors, who shed the same blood as us. So I propose that our club hold a meeting to discuss it. Before the Chinese New Year this year, The task of our club is to ensure that all coal mines in Mincheng use this kind of safety light. Within two years, this kind of safety light will be extended to coal mines across the country.”

"Let's discuss this proposal and hold a club meeting tomorrow. I have discussed it with Mr. Zhu Gan. We must start with small things internally. We must not only pay attention to everyone having a right to speak, but also emphasize that everyone has a chance to express their opinions. Express, but also pay attention to the agreement must be followed.”

"There are more and more people in our club, so some rules have to be established, and these rules must be followed when joining. When there are too many people, it is impossible for everyone to discuss everything, and we have to elect some people internally. Deal with internal affairs on a daily basis. We can discuss and discuss the specifics, and make a decision, and try to make a decision within a year."

"That's all for today, let's go. If we can't integrate a rule within our small circle, then don't think so much about the pursuit of justice."

……

Three days after this unknown autumn and winter evening, all the people in the revision and improvement club in Mincheng discussed for a long time, and finally decided.

The internal charter is perfected until the Chinese New Year, when everyone is here, and then discuss it. Everyone goes back to think about the complete structure and personal ideas.

After discussing with more than half of the club members, they agreed to Chen Jian's proposal.Funded by the membership dues of the club—most of them are paid by Chen Jian, because Chen Jian earns the most and pays the most in proportion—to train internal members and go to various coal mines in Mincheng to explain safety lights.

Discuss the purchase and use of safety lights with mine owners as the main task of this year's club.

This is not a struggle, and the mine owner will be willing to spend this money to buy it.In the event of an explosion, there will also be losses for the mine owner, which is much more than the money spent on buying a safety lamp.

Chen Jian donated the patent and the small workshop for producing safety lamps as the party property of the club, temporarily managed by himself.Wait until next year when the club internally agrees on the charter before electing the management team: if you have money and an organization, spread the ideas of justice, love of rights, meritoriousness and improvement, this is still allowed to spread for the time being.

If these things are bad, then it is possible to sort out a system to harm those groups outside the mist.

Chapter 73 Min City Autumn and Winter, Miscellaneous Notes of the Capital ([-])

When the autumn and winter were blurred and the situation was changing, a dozen members of the revision and improvement club who had undergone short-term training carried various demonstration equipment and coal mine safety lights, and headed for various coal mines near Mincheng.

The Amendment and Improvement Club is only an internal title, but some outsiders refer to this association as the Mexican Party.

This argument stems from two reasons.

The method of dividing the contradiction between yin and yang since ancient times is still popular today.

As far as the mainstream of the council is concerned, some support the policy of emphasizing agriculture, while others support industry and commerce. This is the root cause of many differences.In addition, the power of industry and commerce has gradually expanded over the years, and finally there is a tendency to fight against courtesy, so there is the saying of yin and yang and white ink.

A long time ago, in a council discussion on land policy, councilors who supported industry and commerce voted in favor of black, while council members who supported agriculture voted in white against it.

Furthermore, on the issue of voting rights for the rich and the poor, there is also a saying of yin and yang and white ink.Since the rich have votes, they are white, and the poor and craftsmen with few votes are black.

In this way, the revision and improvement club is really black and can't be any more black.It not only supports the development of industry and commerce and technological progress, but also fights for votes and humanitarian benefits on the side of the middle and lower classes with fewer votes, and none of the members who join the club are self-cultivated farmers. The party is called that.

The most important thing is some people's criticism of Hu Lin's "Dream City", thinking that since everyone is the same and the world belongs to the public, then there will be no rich or poor, and this cannot exist.And use philosophy to criticize this fantasy without black and white binary contradictions, thinking that this is a ridiculous and impossible world.

And Hulin's idea at the beginning was from the bottom, so the upper class denounced Hulin's uncontradictory utopian fantasy that everyone blacked out as: ink-colored thinking.In general, it is impossible, even if it is realized, it will be black.

People in this group still like science very much, especially for some new terms.After Chen Jian's names of atoms and molecules of things that can be divided and indivisible were spread in the capital, he had the idea of ​​ink, and naturally there was such a saying as ink molecules.

Later, when it was said that someone is the machine that makes up the country, Hulin's previous dream city fantasy was completely criticized: it was clearly to dismantle the tight body of the country into individual small molecules for self-government.

Hu Lin had already given up on the naive idea at the beginning, and kept refuting this kind of attack.

When the news reached Mincheng, Hu Lin originally objected to others calling the newly established revision and improvement club the Mo Party.

But when Chen Jian heard the news, he said with a smile that it's not bad to say so, and he can call it whatever he wants.

By the way, when applying for association, they directly used the name of the Mo Dang, and only called the revision and improvement club internally.

Time and material conditions have reached this point, and thinking about the future has finally led to more thinking and contention in this lonely world.

At least here in Mincheng, black elements are not a malicious word.On the contrary, they still want to be fashionable, and many people are even proud of it, as can be seen from the fact that many people who join the organization are from good families.

Many of those who walk into the mines with safety lights today are trying to talk to the miners for the first time, to explain science to the miners, and it is also the first time to try to deal directly with the mine owners.Because it was not up and down before, the former was too low and the latter was too high.

The fate of many people who went there was actually changed by the charity business association. For example, a young man named Qiao Tiexin was very representative.

Qiao Tiexin's family owned a soy sauce workshop. Although his father was not rich, he had no worries about food and clothing. After the enlightenment, he was sent to a secondary school to learn arithmetic and bookkeeping.

It was named Tie Xin because the father hoped that his son would have an iron heart.Qiao Tiexin is very smart, and he studied well when he was enlightened, but he was not interested in inheriting his father's business.When I was a child, I saw how soy sauce was brewed in my own sauce tank. The maggots were turned over, yellow and white, and it was unavoidable to be a little disgusting.

When he finished school, his father forced him to go back to take care of the business, but he was unwilling.He came into contact with a lot of weird ideas in the school, and read "Dream City" written by Hu Lin, so when the charity trading company was first established to recruit personnel, he went to sign up and became a member in charge of accounts in the trading company.When the revision and improvement club opens, it can be regarded as a group of early joiners.

His father didn't interfere too much with his choice, and the conflict between the trading company and the glass guild had nothing to do with the soy sauce workshop at first.

However, shortly after the disintegration of the glass guild, the trading company began to sell soy sauce in Mincheng at a low price, and it took almost a month to seize the low-end soy sauce market in Mincheng.

It was sold early, maybe the soy sauce workshop and the glass workshops objected together, but now there is only one left, and they can only let it be slaughtered.

Qiao Tiexin's home was just a small soy sauce workshop, and it was this small workshop that could not withstand the impact first.

Just as the disintegration of the glass guild resulted in the disability of more than a dozen glass craftsmen, and the owner of a glass workshop could no longer step into this industry: under the impact of soy sauce in chemical workshops, within two months, seven or eight small soy sauce workshops closed down However, the larger workshops have fired their employees, and dozens of brewers who started as apprentices have lost their jobs, and the number is constantly increasing.

This time, the soy sauce workshop didn't even think about competing with the trading company, and the matter of the glass guild was right in front of them.

The slogan of the trading company is: Making soy sauce available to those who could not afford it is progress.

Every shop that sells chemical soy sauce has a sticker on it: Anyone who dares to prevent the poor from eating soy sauce will have their dog's head smashed...meaning that if someone hires someone to smash the shop, they will have to smash it back.

Merchants in Mincheng are well aware of the combat effectiveness of the group of hired pickets with red cloth strips wrapped around their arms. They also know that there are many pens in the trading company, the moral high ground has been established early, and there are also people who are proficient in justice. helpless.

In this way, Qiao Tiexin, who joined the charity business association and the early backbone of the Mexican Party, stood on the opposite side of his father.

Just this kind of opposition is not enough to say that it has affected a family.Under the blow of the imminent closure of the soy sauce workshop, Qiao Tiexin's father began to drink heavily, his temper became worse and worse, he always lost his temper at home, and beat his own woman.

Qiao Tiexin also has a younger brother named Qiao Shichang, a fellow brother who was also beaten by his drunken father at home, and he couldn't help resenting the charity business company where his brother worked.

Under such circumstances, Qiao Tiexin returned home once.

My father went out to drink, and my mother was doing needlework there. The family was struggling and still had some money left, but they just sighed, their faces were bruised and purple, and they secretly wiped away tears.

As soon as I asked my mother how to say hello and said a few words, I was called outside by my younger brother.

When I went out to avoid my mother's gaze, my brother's greeting was very brief.

"Hold!"

After the greeting, he kicked his brother in the stomach, and the two started fighting, and finally got a bruised nose and a swollen face, and then helped each other apply medicine.

The ignited spirits were burning, and Qiao Shichang rubbed his brother's bruised arm with his hands, and couldn't help complaining: "Brother, we all blame your broken charity company for what we are doing now. Mom said I won't let me take care of it." You, my dad can say that if you don't come back, you will be hung up and whipped. You turn around, and I will wipe your back."
