Crimson Dawn

After Wu Xingchen settled his own affairs, he left first, waiting for him to leave.Hua Xiongmao said, "Wen Qing, now that foreign devils and patients are coming to our door, can they imitate our medicine?"

"If I can do it, others can do it too. But as far as the current situation is concerned, if foreigners want to imitate it, it depends on their luck."

"With Wen Qing's medicine, they can't imitate it?"

"If they can't get our formula, they can only try their luck."

After Chen Ke finished speaking, Hua Xiongmao and Qi Huishen couldn't help looking at You Gou.Although he knew that everyone had no malicious intentions, You Gouqi couldn't help but said seriously: "What do you think I am doing? I will never betray everyone. Well, I will never betray the party."

These days, everyone has seen Yougou's hard work.Get along day and night together and work together.At least the basic trust between comrades has been established.Since You Gou said so, Qi Huishen said: "You Gou, we all trust you. If you encounter something that cannot be solved, you must tell everyone. We will definitely support you."

"Naturally. This is not only my painstaking effort, but also everyone's hard work. If someone peeps at this medicine, everyone must help me."

Chen Ke was unwilling to get entangled in this kind of matter, and the next topic became the content of public lectures.Chen Ke's meaning is very clear, this open class is divided into two types, one is for the opening of schools.These open classes are designed to attract students.Everyone has no opinion on this point.Everyone just has doubts about how the school will be handled.

These days, church schools run by foreigners do not charge tuition.You still have to pay for school uniforms and books.The new school that Chen Ke plans to open naturally cannot charge fees.

Qi Hui studied in a missionary school, and he has experience.According to Qi Huishen's introduction, "outstanding performance" in church schools, that is, students who are close to foreigners can generally be recommended and get employment opportunities after graduation.These days, in order for foreigners to expand their influence in China, schools are an important way for them to recruit talents and cultivate cronies.Since it is easy to find a job after studying, the enrollment rate of church schools is not bad.

Chen Ke smiled after hearing this. His own ancestors were educated in church schools, but they did not seek refuge with foreigners.After graduating from high school, Chen Ke's ancestors studied engineering in the "university hall" in China.In those days, there was no difference between a junior college and a bachelor's degree. After studying in the "university hall", one was a university graduate.Especially for engineering students, it is easy to work as a "technician" in a domestic auto repair factory after graduation, and it is easy to earn hundreds of dollars a month.At that time, if you want to change your destiny, going to church school is a very common way.

"We also advertise that after graduation, priority will be given to job arrangements," Chen Ke said.

"Did there be so many jobs to arrange at that time?" Hua Xiongmao asked.

"How do you know that there won't be so many job opportunities then?" Chen Ke was quibbling.But Hua Xiongmao really couldn't come up with a reason to refute.

"We have hospitals and factories, which will definitely provide opportunities. Now as long as you have a skill, you can easily find a job. The key is whether you go to school." Chen Ke continued.

Everyone just agrees with this.

The other part of the lectures is aimed at those progressive young people, especially those friends of Qi Huishen and You Gou.Chen Ke bluntly told everyone that he would first tell everyone the basics of his revolutionary ideas.If you talk about revolution in vain, it is "utopian socialism". The reason why Marx's communist theories are called "science" is because these theories are the product of the combination of modern scientific knowledge and materialist dialectics.

Since you want to promote your own political ideas, it is of no use to just come up with some revolutionary ideas.Revolutionary theory would appear illusory if it had no basis in reality.In addition to "Das Kapital", Chen Ke planned to let those revolutionary youths learn basic scientific knowledge, "Evolution", and "Material Dialectics", the three most basic courses.

"Hui Shen, You Gou, you have to make preparations for building cultural seminars and night schools. The carrots are too fast to wash the mud. As long as young comrades are interested in our revolutionary ideas, we will pull them into the seminars and night schools. Inside. Just do it and talk about it."

Chen Ke also didn't want to make any more choices.There is nothing to talk about without a base.Moreover, the recent establishment of hospitals and schools themselves has enough positions to arrange outstanding young people.

"Wen Qing, although I also claim to be a revolutionary party, until now, I have no idea what the revolution Wen Qing is advocating. Since Wen Qing decided to recruit people aggressively, can you talk about Wen Qing's revolutionary principles?"

This was the first time that You Gou formally asked about Chen Ke's revolutionary program, and it was also the first time someone formally mentioned Chen Ke's revolutionary theory at a party meeting.If it was before, Chen Ke would definitely think twice, but this time Chen Ke answered this question straightforwardly. "My revolutionary path is the people's revolution. The object of the revolution is the ownership of capital"

At any rate, Chen Ke and other comrades have talked about the theory of capital, and the comrades still have some understanding of capital.

"Current capital is controlled in the hands of a few people, and it only serves a few people. The core point of my revolution is to re-divide capital and let it be managed by the state."

"Who is in charge of the country?"

"Our party."

"That is to say, our party controls the world?"

"The people supervise our party."

"What kind of management method is this?"

You Gou didn't understand at all.You Gou had no experience with revolutionary theory, so he couldn't understand Chen Ke's words at all.

"Let's talk about the basics. For example, there are 100 people and 1000 mu of land. They should be well-cultivated, and everyone should have food. But the actual situation is that out of 100 people, 20 people own 850 mu of land, and 80 people It occupies 150 mu of land. Then these 80 people will easily starve to death. Yougou, are these 20 people afraid that the other 80 people will rebel?"

"Should be afraid?" You Gou said.

"So, these 20 people came up with a set of rhetoric, saying that it is only natural for them to own 850 mu of land. Do you think there is something wrong with this rhetoric?"

You Gou thought for a while, then suddenly smiled and said, "If I was one of those 20 people, I would naturally say that this statement was correct. If I was one of those 80 people, I would naturally think that that statement was completely wrong."

Chen Ke nodded in agreement, Chen Ke appreciated You Gou's comprehension, or in other words, his down-to-earth attitude. "My revolution is to break this rhetoric. Because my revolution is to stand on the standpoint of those 80 people."

"Isn't this just stealing from the rich and giving to the poor?" Hua Xiongmao asked.

"If it's just such an issue of land distribution, it's not a revolution. Revolution involves a wide range of things, so we have to give lectures. But, in the final analysis, my revolution is not about those 80 people killing those 20 people. This is meaningless. If 80 people killed 20 people, but this set of rhetoric has not been broken or abandoned, what is the difference from before? The target of our revolution is that set of rhetoric. Not only that, we also To enable everyone to produce more food, more products, and open factories, so that the whole life can be lived."

This passage confuses everyone again.

Chen Ke stood up and wrote a sentence on the blackboard, which is also a famous passage of Mao Zedong, "Who is our enemy? Who is our friend? This question is the first question of the revolution. The achievements of all the revolutionary struggles in China in the past Rarely, the basic reason is that we cannot unite with real friends to attack real enemies. The revolutionary party is the guide of the masses, and there has never been a revolution in which the revolutionary party led the wrong way and the revolution did not fail. To lead the wrong way and ensure success, we must pay attention to uniting with our real friends to attack our real enemies. To distinguish between real friends and enemies, we must take into account the economic status of the various classes in Chinese society and their impact on the revolution. Attitude, make a rough analysis."

Chen Ke has not been able to express his thoughts well, and after writing this paragraph, he only feels a lot of relief in his chest.

"Let me brag, I am the revolutionary party. Comrades, let's call them the masses. I just want to make friends with comrades. I can't put everyone in the leadership pit. So in the previous situation, I couldn't shout anything To overthrow the Manchu Qing Dynasty, or engage in armed riots, or assassinate officials. I can only accumulate funds and wealth for the revolution. Constantly expand social relations, make real friends like comrades, and constantly promote the progress of the revolution. And don’t let us Become a running dog of Manchu and imperialism. Maintain the purity and independence of the revolution. Manchu, underworld, and imperialism are our enemies, and we are constantly fighting against them. Like He Zudao is our friend, We are going to save He Zudao."

"Then how does Wen Qing judge who is gay?" Although You Gou thinks this makes sense, she still doesn't understand.

"Whoever is on the side of the revolutionary people is a revolutionary, and whoever is on the side of imperialism, feudalism, bureaucracy and capitalism is a counter-revolutionary. Whoever is on the side of the revolutionary people in words is not the same in action." He is a revolutionary in words, and if he is on the side of the revolutionary people not only in words but also in actions, he is a complete revolutionist." The chairman's words were catchy, and Chen Ke directly Quoting from the Chairman.

"That is to say, from the standpoint of those 80 people..., no, from the standpoint of revolution, who broke the rules established by those 20 people and promoted the revolutionary system that Wen Qing said, are they comrades?" You said. Gou said slowly, "But I still don't understand Wenqing's revolutionary rules."

Hearing Yougou's words, Chen Ke blushed slightly, and he made a serious self-criticism, "This is my fault. In future party meetings and lectures, I will put my revolutionary system, or Everything I learned, I explained clearly to everyone. I saw that I couldn’t do it, and I apologize to everyone.”

Hearing Chen Ke's apology, You Gou laughed and said, "Wen Qing doesn't need to apologize. Although I don't know what Wen Qing's revolutionary principles are, I can trust Wen Qing. I have never seen a good person like you. No matter what, I will Be Wenqing's comrade."

"That's right, I've never seen someone like Wen Qing. I just want to follow Wen Qing. Anyway, sooner or later there will be a revolution. If I follow someone like Wen Qing, at least I won't worry about being cheated. I don't do stupid things like counting money." Hua Xiongmao laughed.

Qi Huishen had long agreed with Chen Ke, and he was not in a hurry to express his views.Glancing at Zhou Yuanxiao who had been silent all this time, he saw Zhou Yuanxiao looking at everyone thoughtfully.

For some reason, Qi Huishen didn't want to force Zhou Yuanxiao to express his opinion.He has always had an inexplicable intuition that if Chen Ke's theory can finally make Zhou Yuanxiao agree with it, then it will be a real success.At that time, Qi Huishen would cast himself on the revolutionary road pointed out by Chen Ke without hesitation.And never regret it.

After Wu Xingchen left, drug sales did not decline.Instead, it maintained a relatively steady upward trend.In particular, the number of foreign patients has increased considerably.After the discussion of the party group, the comrades simply stopped rushing to expand sales, but invested money in the construction of the affiliated hospital.In this way, the overall workload is much smaller.

Lectures require lecture notes, and Chen Ke is intensively preparing the manuscripts. Every time the manuscripts are prepared, he will tell the comrades first.It was not just the five party members who attended the lectures, but also the old youths and some newcomers.Chen Ke didn't do anything special. His first lecture was Faraday's famous popular science textbook "The Story of the Candle".This lecture is an important science popularization model that has led countless teenagers to devote themselves to the chemistry major.It is also a book that Chen Ke liked very much when he was a child.

There is little entertainment for everyone these days. Faraday held a series of lectures on science popularization activities at the British Academy of Sciences that year, and every time there were no seats.In China in 1905, it also aroused the enthusiasm of everyone.

You Gou is a chemistry major, and he likes this manuscript written by Chen Ke very much.Encouraged by Chen Ke, You Gou volunteered to undertake the lecture.Just like what Chen Ke thought, even though You Gou was usually cheerful, but when she stood in front of everyone for the first time, her face turned red, her mouth was dry, and she stuttered.Fortunately, they are all acquaintances now. Although everyone laughed, they didn't boo at all.Looking at You Gou's flustered appearance, Chen Ke just smiled, and it wasn't much better for him to give a lecture for the first time.But this is the first step after all. Chen Ke doesn't know when the first female teacher appeared in China, but Chen Ke can believe that in the history he is in now, You Gou must be the first public science lecture in China women.And she must be able to be recorded in the ranks of glory in her own history.

Lectures are open, and doors will not be closed.A young man with shoulder-length hair entered the door, and then looked at Yougou, a woman in a suit and long hair in a ponytail, standing in front of the blackboard, with various experimental equipment on the table in front of her. Slightly flustered Shanghai dialect speaking chemical knowledge.In front of Yougou, there were many men sitting on rows of stools.After listening for a while, the young man also became interested, so he simply stood at the back of the crowd and listened to You Gou's lecture.Chen Ke, who was also standing in the crowd, noticed this vigorous young man, and he smiled at him.The young man also smiled back, staring at Chen Ke's short hair and thinking for a while, the young man asked in a low voice, "Excuse me, do you know a Mr. Chen Ke?"

At this time, speaking in a Hunan accent, Chen Ke didn't know when he met a friend from Hunan. He replied, "I am. Who are you?"

"I was introduced by Mr. Qiu Jin. My name is Chen Tianhua."

Among all the revolutionaries of the old era, the only one Chen Ke thinks should be pulled into the banner is Chen Tianhua. In December 1905, Chen Tianhua committed suicide by crossing the sea in Japan.There are various accounts of his death.Chen Ke didn't have the intention to get to the bottom of the reason. Among the revolutionary martyrs, not many dared to commit suicide.A person who is not afraid of death, if he can use it well, it will be a great help.

But thinking about it, looking at this lively young man in front of him, Chen Ke almost couldn't help but want to ask Chen Tianhua why he committed suicide.

Then Chen Ke couldn't help laughing, if he said this without thinking, Chen Tianhua would definitely think he was a lunatic.Next, Chen Ke felt infinitely grateful to Qiu Jin.Although Qiu Jin's character is trustworthy, but Qiu Jin is so busy, she went to Japan to participate in the preparation work of the Restoration Association, can she remember Chen Ke's entrustment in her busy schedule?Chen Ke was not very confident.But Chen Tianhua's appearance here is enough to prove how much Qiu Jin put in effort.

Chen Ke knew that Chen Tianhua was born in poverty, and he was particularly good at propaganda.Chen Ke is not worried about his theoretical ability, what he is worried about is his propaganda ability.Among the propagandists of the revolutionary party in the late Qing Dynasty, Chen Tianhua and Zou Rong were the most outstanding.Zou Rong has died in prison, even as a time traveler, Chen Ke has no ability to bring the dead back to life, and is helpless.And Chen Tianhua was still alive, Chen Ke wanted to try to pull Chen Tianhua into the revolutionary team no matter what.

Seeing the smile on Chen Ke's face, Chen Tianhua also smiled and said: "I respect Mr. Qiu Jin very much. Mr. Qiu Jin said that brother Chen is an unparalleled talent in the revolutionary party. She told me that brother Chen wanted to see me and advised me to be with you no matter what. As soon as Brother Chen saw it, and it was a gift from Brother Chen, I rushed over here." Chen Tianhua spoke with a Hunan accent.

"I've been waiting for this day for a long time. I'm overjoyed to finally see Brother Tianhua. Now that the yard is noisy, let's talk inside."

It turned out that Qiu Jin had already arrived in Japan. After arriving in Japan, the first thing Qiu Jin did was to look for Chen Tianhua, and Chen Tianhua came to meet with Chen Ke.Chen Tianhua had heard of Qiu Jin, and even received the "tea fee" entrusted by Chen Ke to bring Qiu Jin.I was also a little moved by Chen Ke's kindness.Under Qiu Jin's persuasion, Chen Tianhua simply came to meet Chen Ke directly.

Everyone chatted for a while, and then heard a burst of good-natured laughter from outside, it must be some kind of joke made by You Gou.

"I didn't expect Brother Chen to have a female teacher who teaches chemistry." Chen Tianhua laughed.

"Our revolutionary party advocates equality between men and women. It is not uncommon to have female gentlemen. Now she is just giving a trial lecture. After a while, she will give a regular lecture. At that time, there were hundreds of people attending the lecture."

"Oh? Advocate equality between men and women, Brother Chen, you are not an ordinary revolutionary party."

After the trial lecture was over, Chen Ke asked everyone to disperse, and a few key members stayed behind to hold a welcome party for Chen Tianhua.Chen Ke went out to buy food and drink, and asked the other comrades to entertain Chen Tianhua first.As soon as I returned to the door of the workshop with food and wine, I heard someone singing Tanci in a Hunan accent.The core members of the party group were sitting around Chen Tianhua, only to hear Chen Tianhua sing: "Come! Come! What's coming! Foreigners are here! It's bad! It's bad! Everyone's bad!... From now on From now on, it will be the cattle and sheep in the foreigner's livestock pen, and the fish in the pot. He will kill and cook as he wants, and he will not be able to move around. Alas! This is the day of our death!" "Bitter! Bitter! Bitter! The money and wealth accumulated by our compatriots will all be taken away by foreigners; the beloved wives and children of our compatriots will be torn apart by foreigners..."
