From Chief to Ball

After quietly finding a seat and sitting down, I heard a person speaking.

"I don't agree with that comrade just now. If we force mine owners and workshop owners to follow Chen Jian's workshop to adopt a [-]-hour working system and improve work-related compensation regulations in Mincheng, then whether those mine owners oppose it or not? Let's not talk about it."

"I would like to ask everyone, who will come to Mincheng to build workshops to open mines in the future? Other counties and counties have a [-]-hour to [-]-hour work system, but here we work [-] hours and lose money if someone dies, so these people must not will come."

"If they don't come, what will these hired workers eat? Do they drink wind? The mine owners and money have all gone to other counties. How can this develop the productivity that Chen Jian said?"

"I think this matter should be resolved through compromise. We should let the current council make more voices, listen to our opinions, promote laws and regulations throughout the country, and improve this environment, instead of relying on the power of employees to coerce mine owners to work. Workshop owners. Without mine owners and workshop owners, the employees will starve to death."

"We should pin our hopes on legal petitions. It's not like the comrade just said to show them some color, or even send people to assassinate and retaliate. This is illegal."

As soon as the voice fell, someone stood up and shouted: "What are you talking about? According to you, you can't pursue these things unless they are promoted across the country? If there are really other ethnic groups in the world in the future, according to your words If other ethnic groups work 27 hours, we have to work [-] hours? Otherwise everyone will starve to death? Besides, is it illegal to suffocate [-] people?"

Hu Lin sighed and got up and said: "It's really not illegal. This is an accident. According to the law, it's like someone was killed by a knife. You can't blame the knife seller. He insisted that the fire was so big that the person inside was already dead. , so it was just an accident. The law does not punish the heart."

He has studied judicial precedents, and since he has said so, everyone knows that this matter is definitely not illegal.

Hu Lin also looked helpless. The number of people present here has increased a lot after these two years of development, but all kinds of strange thoughts have also begun to appear, and there is no unified consciousness that everyone can accept.

When it comes to doing good deeds, charity, and beneficial things, everyone can still unite, but once new problems arise, differences among everyone begin to emerge.

Some advocated that national rights are above all else to reconcile conflicts, some advocated violent conspiracy to confront, some advocated the way of knights to control violence with violence, some advocated compromise and hoped that the mine owners would show kindness, and some hoped to unify the petition across the country...

This is the first time that the party has encountered such a thing since its establishment. It is really at a loss, and internal opinions cannot be unified.

"Then what about this matter? Let the mine owner pay some money? What about the comrade we sacrificed?"

"There is no evidence. The person who attacked was hired by the mine owner. You and I both know, but do you have any evidence?"

"Bullshit evidence, if you want me to say it, let me bring explosives and blow up his whole family to death."

"This is rebellion! You will be shot!"

"Afraid of a ball? There is already chaos over there. The gunmen of the mine owner are threatening the miners everywhere. Why don't you stand up now and wait?"

During the quarrel, someone shouted: "Chen Jian, you should say something."

Chen Jian slapped the table and scolded: "What did I say? I told everyone a long time ago that it is so easy to build a trade union in my workshop. You didn't believe it at the time. When I asked to paste yellow window paper You are still laughing at me. Trade unions, since there is an employee association, don’t rely on these employees to rely on mine owners to show kindness?”

"I said that it is impossible for us to make everyone's lives better, and we can only represent the interests of some people. You are against it. Now I ask you, which side are we standing on? At least we must unify this? Don't go Think about the future, think about the present first.”

"Don't talk about morality, just talk about the law. If the law is not pursued, then the past can only be criticized morally. What about the future? Will such things happen again in the future?"

"I don't agree to use violence to control violence, nor do I agree to compromise. This is an opportunity for the bottom to have a voice. Our demands should not be too high, so as not to be difficult to achieve, so that we will be suppressed and declared rebellion. We must not The pickets are not for fighting, they are for maintaining order."

"Through small requirements, we can increase the confidence of the employees and let them believe that they have the power and possibility to speak out. It also makes some preparations and pave the way for the future."

"Therefore, I suggest: Let's pass this matter first, and Hu Lin will take the lead in drafting a law amendment regulation, and submit it to the council through normal channels. For various problems that may arise in the mine, give a clear regulation of disciplinary action, and submit it to the council Approved by the permanent members of the Council."

Someone stood up and asked, "What if it is rejected?"

"Rejected?"

Chen Jian paused, then took a long breath and said: "Then force them to agree. What is the use of the party property? What are you afraid of when going on strike? Isn't it because you are afraid that you will not survive without money? This is what the party property is for. Without money, What kind of work is there to strike? So many industries in Mincheng need coal and hired labor to transport it, so they must know how these things come from, not from the mine owners but from hired labor.”

"I suggest that we elect a handling committee for this special incident, concentrate our opinions, and deal with it quickly."

Soon, a committee of 13 people was elected and began to really face the problems that had to be faced, so ten years of quarreling would not lead to results.

Chen Jian no longer serves as a finance committee member, nor is he an organization committee member. He doesn't know much about the specific situation. First, he notified the reliable number and money within the 13-member committee.

"It is necessary to gain the support of more people. We have the upper hand morally, but once the interests and morality are involved, it is useless. So once the problem is serious, someone must clarify who is responsible for it. For example, coal cannot be transported in. Are we blaming the hired workers? Or are the owners of the workshops refusing to regress? We must win the understanding and sympathy of the general public. I suggest Comrade Hu Lin be responsible for this.”

"In the mining area, it is necessary to stabilize the emotions of those miners and not cause bloodshed, especially when explosives and detonators are everywhere. Now it is not the same as before."

"I will keep in touch with the mine owners in Nan'an, and use their internal conflicts to gain their support."

"Organize a picket team to deal with possible petitions and conflicts, and organize party funds to support the daily life of the strikers. This is the responsibility of the finance committee and Comrade Qiao Tiexin. We must strictly investigate internal personnel to prevent hooligans and bad elements from mixing in. Give people an excuse, this must be paid attention to.”

"The organizing committee will immediately contact the organizations in various mines, workshops, docks and other places, and all normal order in the city must be cut off..."

"The external liaison committee has drawn up strict terms and bottom lines, explaining to all participants that we cannot increase the size indefinitely after pursuing our requirements. If someone instigates in the crowd, the picket team will immediately control them and drive them out. This must be done. Be careful, otherwise this situation is beyond our control."

After making these suggestions and being approved, Chen Jian put the recorded resolution in front of everyone, and when he was about to read it out again for confirmation, Hu Lin suddenly stood up.

Chen Jian and the other twelve people looked at Hu Lin together, and Hu Lin said in a low voice, "Everyone, if...if the situation is out of control..."

After a short pause, Hu Lin let out a long sigh, and said solemnly: "If the situation is out of control and something serious happens...then fight to the end in this red brick building. There are sacks of sand and gravel in the basement. Barricades can be built on the West Street, and there are guns and gunpowder in the warehouse. Only the wide area of ​​Xie Street can deploy cannons. It has been bought by Chen Jian, and there is a road next to it to destroy the cannons. But the road on the back street is just opposite The Public Security Department, it is impossible to go to the pier. So here we can last until the end, and we can only last until the end, there is no way out.”

"Whether it's reform or better life for more people, there is no success without bloodshed. Since this matter is agreed upon by us, if the situation is out of control, then I hope that this building will be ours. Thirteen graves."

"Whether it's a boat or a sail, they can go, but we can't. When it's time to bleed, let us shed all the blood first. It smells good to shed our own blood. Who made us trustful and elected committee members? ?”

"If you really want to die, then die vigorously, let the world know, let those people pay attention, and rely on their lingering conscience to pay attention to everything that happens here."

Chen Jian curled his lips and shook his head inwardly. He had only mentioned the location of this building as a joke with Hu Lin, but he didn't want Hu Lin to really care about it.

The scene was silent and heavy at this time. Chen Jian felt that it was unlikely that something uncontrollable would happen, and the matter might not develop out of control. Chen Jian felt that the chances of winning were great, but it was like writing a suicide note before leaving Qi. Always be prepared.

This is just in case.Hu Lin did the right thing.

Chen Jian didn't want to die, and he didn't want to die if something happened, but at this point, he had to die if something happened.

This is the bottom line of being a human being, sticking to the original intention of standing on the ground.

So the sea is dangerous, he will go, instead of using his knowledge to let others go.So when planning for the worst at this time, he either quits now or dies when the time comes.

The only thing I didn't expect was that Hu Lin, who usually looks gentle, would say such words at this time.

Hu Lin pulled out the knife, cut his finger, and stamped his handprint on the resolution passed by the clerk just now.

one, two, three...

The fingerprints of thirteen people were left on it. Standing in front of the window and looking at the street in the distance, I finally understood the purpose of choosing the trading company here.

Chen Jian put away the paper with a smile, and sucked his fingers, not knowing how to resolve the grim atmosphere for no reason.

After a long time, Hu Lin quietly said something in front of the window.

"Unfortunately, the brick is red. If it really bleeds, it will fade too quickly. It's not as good as white."

Chen Jian thought that after this incident, the "Restricting the Activities of the Mexican Party" and "Prohibition of the Black Molecular Trade Union" must be the first batch of laws to be passed when the partisan politics matures in the future.

This unexpected incident seriously affected his plan, and seriously affected his journey to the other side of the sea.

The only advantage may be to be able to fight against religion when it comes out of the fog, and to do things like church relief, grassroots support, community exchanges, and gatherings for interests that religions do in new places, leaving them nowhere at the grassroots level can go.

After all, after getting out of the fog, Mincheng will inevitably be the first place where religion is infected.
