Crimson Dawn

Chapter 39

Chen Ke counted the members of Huangpu Publishing House, a total of 127.Participation in this outward bound training is not mandatory.After spending 10 minutes of teaching and training, everyone was finally able to report the number according to Chen Ke's order.

"1"

"2"

"3"

"..."

"15"

The first row finally counted.

"Have you eaten yet? Why does the sound sound like a mosquito humming. Say it again." Chen Ke's voice was not harsh.The young people in the front row were better, while many young people in the back row were still talking and laughing.

After a burst of laughter, the counting did not start.Chen Ke yelled in a loud voice, "Start counting." All the young people were startled, and the smiles on Chen Ke's face faded obviously.The students in the first row started counting again.

Discipline and obedience start with standardization, and queue training is only the first step.And this first step took an hour, and these students and students formed a square matrix of ten by eleven.

It took another half an hour to teach everyone to walk with the left foot first.

It took another half an hour to look to the left and to the right.

The phalanx moved forward together, and after only ten meters or so, the originally neat formation began to disintegrate.

Chen Ke was not discouraged. According to those memoirs, it took a long time to turn left and right to train the Red Army who was born as a peasant.In today's military training, the performance of the students has been very good.Military training has never been a short-term process, even the most basic training will last for several days.What's more, today is only one day.

When the sheep-herding queue reached the prescribed position, Chen Ke ran over with a normal face, commanded everyone to line up again, and started training again.

More than three hours passed quickly.Everyone was obviously tired, Chen Kegao shouted, "Disband." The students dispersed one after another as if they had been pardoned.

Military training is by no means an easy task. Chen Ke felt uncomfortable in his throat just after the command.Watching the young people hide in a cool place to rest, Chen Ke wiped the sweat from his forehead.

But not long after, everyone's eyes fell on an unnoticed place, Chen Ke turned his head, and saw Yan Fu still in the same clothes as when he saw him last time, standing there watching everyone.Chen Ke has been concentrating on military training, but he didn't know when Yan Fu came.The appearance of this was a bit unexpected. Chen Ke reflected on his answer this morning, but couldn't think of any problems.Since this is the case, Chen Ke doesn't play any clichés.I just greeted him and greeted him briefly.

"Wen Qing is training soldiers?" Yan Fu asked, his attention was not on Chen Ke, but on the group of young people.

"How could it be? It's just a little military training to make everyone more organized." Chen Ke couldn't see any emotion from Yan Fu's face.But the way Yan Fu looked at the young people was very special, as if he was observing the effect of military training.Chen Ke suddenly remembered that Yan Fu himself was not a simple literati.Although in later generations, Yan Fu's most famous title is "Tianyanlun", he is an intellectual who introduced Western learning into China.But Yan Fu himself actually worked in the Beiyang Naval Academy for many years, and finally became the principal.For military training, Yan Fu is by no means an amateur.Thinking of this, Chen Ke didn't dare to say anything, he stood beside Yan Fu and waited for Yan Fu to speak.

Yan Fu looked away, and then asked: "Wen Qing has been in the army?"

"No."

"Is today the first day of military training?"

"This is military training, not military training." Chen Ke corrected again.

Yan Fu nodded slightly, "It's really rare to be able to practice like this on the first day."

Chen Ke didn't want this senior to comment on his hard work.Although Yan Fu didn't seem to have any malicious intentions, but if such an evaluation continues, God knows where it will go.

"Mr. Yan, are you passing by here today?"

"No, since Wen Qing refused to meet, I had no choice but to come and visit in person." Yan Fu smiled.

"I really have something to do today." Chen Ke said frankly.

"I've already talked to Shanghai Daotai about the pharmaceutical factory I mentioned last time. He wants Wenqing to go to Hankou to treat some patients."

"My medicine can only treat patients in the first and second stages. I don't know Mr. Yan." Chen Ke said hastily.

"I read the things printed by Wen Qing, and I know a thing or two. I also brought a copy when I went. After reading it, Shanghai Daotai said that it should be curable."

"This medicine is poisonous, I'm afraid it will kill people." Chen Ke added hastily.

"Haha, Wenqing is really cautious. You have repeatedly said it in the "Huangpu Review". Daotai definitely saw it. I originally meant to push this medicine to the Nanyang and Beiyang navy. As a result, someone Yuan I want us to help him first. We must trouble Wenqing to come forward in this matter."

"I can't get away. How about sending someone competent to do it?"

"Also."

"Do you want to go see that Master Yuan first?"

"No need. Daotai has already assigned someone to handle this matter, and Wenqing can send someone to find this person."

"I'll make arrangements now. Please wait, Mr. Yan." After speaking, Chen Ke walked quickly to the construction site.

This is a good opportunity. The places that need special medicine these days are mainly port cities.As long as there are foreigners, there will be the spread of this evil disease.Chen Ke originally wanted to discuss with Hua Xiongmao, so he sent Dr. Wang Qinian there.If Wang Qinian is sent, who will take Wang Qinian's place?A name popped up suddenly, Chen Ke couldn't help slowing down, and finally Chen Ke simply turned his head and walked towards Mao Ping.

"Come with me." Chen Ke said to Mao Ping.

Hearing Chen Ke's idea of ​​Mao Ping going to Hankou for medical treatment, Mao Ping was very excited. First, he could work for Mr. Chen whom he respected very much, and second, he could show his professional skills.Both reasons made Mao Ping feel high-spirited. "Mr. Wen Qing, I will definitely do this well."

"I believe in you." Chen Ke said firmly.

The two talked about Mao Ping's medical skills along the way, and soon found Hua Xiongmao, and Chen Ke told the matter.Hua Xiongmao looked at Mao Ping for a while, and seeing Mao Ping looking back at him firmly, he seemed to be quite confident in handling this matter well.Then he nodded, "Wen Qing, then you want me to take Mao Ping to see Dr. Wang?"

"We can't completely decide this matter. Tell Dr. Wang that Mao Ping will do all the injections for today's patients. Dr. Wang will guide you. Once you have time, ask Mao Ping to read the medical records carefully." Chen Ke said to Hua Xiongmao.

After finishing speaking, Chen Ke turned to Mao Ping again, "Read the medical records carefully to see how the patients reacted during the use of this medicine. How to deal with it. I only give you two days today and tomorrow, just do it well." .”

"I will definitely not disappoint Mr. Chen."

Seeing Mao Ping and Hua Xiongmao leave together, Chen Ke and Qin Wu'an explained the work again, and then ran back to reply to Yan Fu.The two decided that tomorrow afternoon, the person in charge of this matter should go to Yan Fu, and Yan Fu would introduce this person to see Yuan Shufan.

After explaining the matter, Chen Ke looked at Yan Fu and said embarrassedly: "Mr. Yan, there is no place to eat around here. I will take everyone to cook together today. Mr. Yan, what are you going to do when you come together?"

"Wen Qing wants to take everyone to cook?" Yan Fu was a little surprised.From Yan Fu's point of view, Chen Ke is also the president of the society, so it is natural that someone else has prepared food and delivered it to him. Unexpectedly, Chen Ke would actually do the work himself.

"The upper and lower are one. As the president of the school, I run away when I encounter a job. How can everyone think highly of me." Chen Ke said casually.For Chen Ke, this is just the most basic work attitude. Even in the 21st century, Chen Ke has met many cadres at the provincial party committee level. table chairs.The vice president of the mobile company, after receiving a batch of printed materials, he squatted on the ground at the door to check the leaflets one by one.Although the vice president immediately drove to eat and drink with everyone impatiently after checking the work.But the quality of this kind of work is by no means comparable to the kind of people who are sloppy and slack in work.

It is the tradition of the party to do it personally at work.Before the founding of the People's Republic of China, facing the harsh environment, the party absolutely implemented the leading role of party members.Even after the reform and opening up, party members still stood up in times of crisis.Before the catastrophe, you can definitely see figures that you can hardly see in the most dangerous places.This is the power of organization.

Chen Ke himself was able to gain everyone's approval because he never shirked his responsibilities and never engaged in any special treatment.Cooking and eating with everyone, Chen Ke felt that it was nothing more than a normal thing.

Yan Fu doesn't see it that way, as an intellectual educated in a hierarchical and privileged society.Yan Fu felt that getting all kinds of privileges was justified.As the principal, it is obviously not in line with his status to eat with the students.But he has been able to confirm that Chen Ke has the intention of rebelling. As a rebel, if he cannot get the general support of the people below, he will only die.It is not without precedent for Chen Ke to do this. There are too many rebels recorded in Chinese history books who solicit wings in this way.When Chen Ke did this, Yan Fu thought it was good.He laughed and said, "I didn't know Wen Qing could cook, so I'll have to bother you."

"I will do my best." Chen Ke was not polite.

"Comrades, start cooking." Chen Ke shouted loudly.Those who heard this turned their faces to look at Chen Ke.

The pot, rice, vegetables, salt, soy sauce and other materials have already been prepared.Equipment such as shovels and firewood have also been prepared.Chen Ke asked the students to organize themselves into groups of ten people in a row.Start assigning tasks to groups.Young people like to be lively together, not to mention this sudden picnic.In addition to practicing all morning, the young people were hungry, and there was really laughter for a while.

Some were in charge of carrying water, others were in charge of washing rice and vegetables. Chen Ke personally led the people to dig the stove and bury the pot, while Yan Fu stood by and watched.Everyone has a task, and everyone is busy.Although the students looked at him with longing, but in such an environment, no one ran over to talk to him regardless of the crowd.This is really rare.Yan Fu was very satisfied with Chen Ke's organizational skills.

There are a lot of people and strength, and it didn't take long. The dishes were already fried, and the cauldron for steaming rice was also steaming.Chen Ke did not let the students move freely, but asked everyone to line up again and sit down neatly.

"I want to ask everyone a question. The meal is about to start. How can we share today's meal equally? How can we convince everyone that the meal is shared equally."

This question is really interesting.Everyone has never thought about how to achieve this level.

"Whoever has a suggestion, raise your hand and speak."

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, regardless of the trivial matter of sharing food, if it is really necessary to share the food evenly, everyone has to believe it, which is not easy.After a while, a student raised his hand. Chen Ke knew that this classmate was called An Rushan, and he was a student of Fudan Public School. "Elect someone who everyone can recognize."

Chen Ke asked An Rushan to sit down, and then said: "There are so many of us, and we don't necessarily know each other, how can we choose someone that everyone can recognize? And there are more than 100 of us, and it will take three hours for you to select them? We can have dinner."

The students below roared with laughter, and An Rushan blushed.

Seeing that no one dared to continue talking, Chen Ke said with a smile: "This meal will be ready in a while. I can't think of a way. I can't let everyone eat. I came to expand the training once, but in the end there will be grievances in the future. This kind of thing I won't do it."

Another student raised his hand. His name is Lu Huitian, and he is also from Fudan Public School. "We hired a few people to supervise rice cooking. We set very strict rules. For example, there must be a rule for how much rice is served in each bowl." Speaking of this, Lu Huitian suddenly had a new idea, "We make rice Steelyard, weigh each bowl.” When other students heard this suggestion, some thought it was acceptable, while others thought it was nonsense.Someone has already shouted: "I will starve to death when you finish weighing." Immediately there was another burst of laughter.

When Lu Huitian sat down with a blushing face, Chen Ke asked: "Do you think this meal can be absolutely fair? It's not bad at all?"

Most of the students had expressions of disbelief on their faces.

"Everyone is not a god, and we can't be absolutely average. The reason why we can't accept uneven distribution is because we can't accept subjectively giving more points to ourselves or people we like. As long as it's not subjectively intentional, we can share food objectively. , there will inevitably be a little more of this and a little less of that. I think everyone can accept this subtle difference.”

After listening to Chen Ke's class, everyone understood the words "subjective" and "objective".The students nodded after hearing this.

"If we find a person to be in charge of sharing meals, everyone will soon find that this person distributes the most for themselves. The most is the best. Everyone thinks this method is not enough, so they take turns to preside over the food distribution, and each person has a day. This is equivalent to acknowledging that individuals have the right to share more food for themselves, and at the same time giving everyone the opportunity to share more for themselves. Although it seems equal, But what? Today we only have one chance, and there will be conflicts immediately. Or, everyone elects a trustworthy person to preside over the food distribution. Not to mention how long it takes to elect this person, even if this person is of high moral character, he can basically be fair , but he doesn’t give himself more points, but he will give more points to people he has a good relationship with because of face. It’s still not fair.”

After saying this, Chen Ke looked at the steam rising from the rice steaming pot, and then at his watch, "The rice will be cooked soon, so we're still chatting about it here. Well, if you can't get it quickly If the regulations come out, we will starve."

The students roared with laughter again.

"Mr. Chen, do you have any ideas?"

"Yes, according to what you said, no matter how you divide it, it will not be fair. How can you make everyone feel fair?"

Everyone shouted.Everyone's interest was really mobilized. Seeing Chen Ke's confident appearance, it seemed that he must have an excellent method.Chen Ke has already denied all other ideas, so what method can Chen Ke come up with?Everyone, including Yan Fu, was full of curiosity.

"It's very simple. We don't need to select any highly respected people, and we don't need to engage in any supervision. First find three people, and divide the rice in the pot into eleven large portions. Then these three people go to the side first and wait. Each team, Randomly find someone, draw lots, pick a large portion in order, and then divide this large portion into ten small portions. Then they can go and wait on the side. Then, everyone goes up to get the food by themselves, and the last remaining, let Those who share the food will get it."

The smarter people have already understood what Chen Ke meant, and they have already started to applaud.Those who didn't understand, dragged those who understood to ask for an explanation. "Anyway, the people who share the food don't know who gets the most out of it. If the distribution is uneven, they will definitely eat the least. The people who share the food will naturally divide the food very seriously. And we also know this. , we will definitely leave the least for those who share the food. Naturally, we will feel that the distribution is reasonable." The person who was asked explained excitedly.

This principle is very simple, and everyone will understand it as soon as they hear it.Everyone is lamenting such a simple truth, why didn't they think of it.I don't know who applauded first. In a short while, more than 100 students began to applaud.Everyone already admired Chen Ke's knowledge very much, and this incident made everyone feel a sincere admiration.Everyone wants fairness, and everyone feels wronged.The biggest advantage of Chen Ke's method is that it guarantees fairness to the greatest extent.Everyone really admired this wit.The dissatisfaction with Chen Ke accumulated after three hours of practice has completely dissipated at this time.

Even Yan Fu couldn't help applauding softly.After Chen Ke raised this question, Yan Fu was thinking about how to divide it.Yan Fu had already thought about the methods that Chen Ke summed up later.Although it cannot be said that it is not fair enough, it is really difficult for everyone to admit that they have been treated fairly.With Chen Ke's method, everyone can accept the objective unfairness, but the subjective sense of unfairness has completely disappeared.Yan Fu has been an official for many years, and he has experienced too many struggles with unpredictable people.The three armies can win the commander, but the common man cannot win the will.It is too difficult to convince a person, but with such a simple method, Chen Ke has at least sorted out the tangled matter of food distribution, which cannot but be admired by Yan Fu.

"Students, stop shouting. Whoever volunteers to serve everyone, stand up." Chen Ke didn't want everyone to make such a noise, and he was also hungry.
