Crimson Dawn

Chapter 61

You Gou is a very interesting girl, Chen Ke has always thought so.If he saw You Gou slapping a boy on the face, he would definitely think he had the foresight.That boy is younger than Yougou.But he is a northern man.You Gou and Chen Ke have learned fighting for a while.In the yard of the workshop, there was a human-shaped target, and Chen Ke taught You Gou some basic fighting skills against the target.Chen Ke believed that instead of asking You Gou to engage in any fighting techniques, slapping is a simpler technique.After smoking, it is a comforting foot, more effective than anything else.Generally speaking, men's awareness of women's prevention is relatively weak.This move is easier to succeed.

After the crisp slap was over, You Gou felt refreshed.Yougou herself made a similar human-shaped target at home, and every night she set aside an hour to punch and kick the target wrapped in thick cotton.Familiar with several basic routines.He raised his foot and was about to kick it, when he was suddenly pulled away.Turning around, it was Qi Huishen who shot.Qi Huishen took a step forward, pointed at the one who was beaten and shouted: "Are you talking to Teacher You just like that? What is a dog comprador? I am also a comprador!"

The one who was slapped was really stunned by this slap. He was mocking the "dog compradors" with a very disdainful smile just now with the two classmates next to him. They are all people who have forgotten their ancestors.Interspersed with vicious ridicule towards You Gou himself.What they didn't expect was that in the next room, You Gou and Qi Huishen were talking in low voices.As soon as the school dormitory building was repaired, Huangpu Publishing House had a big relocation, and all moved to the dormitory.Probably because they are used to the place like the workshop, the students spoke quite loudly, and they didn't even notice that the object of their ridicule was right next to the wall.

Hearing the quarrel, people from other dormitories and offices had already appeared at the door curiously.Seeing that the fight was over, You Gou simply shouted to the people outside: "Prepare for a meeting to discuss the issue of grouping."

Since the first democratically voted resolution was reached at the party meeting, Qi Huishen had no choice but to follow the resolution.Chen Ke repeatedly enforced the party's discipline and resolutely obeyed the organization's decision.Qi Huishen didn't dare to obey and obey.After that, at the convened meeting, everyone began to talk about Chen Ke's judgments on China's economic situation.

About the cotton issue, it was You Gou himself who talked about it.The number of professional cotton farmers in China is extremely low, even in Shanghai and Songjiang, where the textile industry is developed.With the rapid development of China's textile industry, the demand for cotton is growing day by day, which directly leads to the rise of cotton prices, which in turn leads to the textile industry's purchase of cheap foreign veils.This kind of purchase has greatly affected the interests of the landlords in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.Landlords who had expected to make a fortune through the rise in cotton were naturally extremely dissatisfied.Moreover, the landlords who run some handicraft industries are also extremely dissatisfied with the impact of cheap foreign goods.Various movements to boycott foreign goods appeared in Shanghai.

This is not just Shanghai. With China being forced to open the door, landlords operating handicraft industries everywhere have the same dissatisfaction. In 1905, except for Guangdong, other commercial areas had local businessmen boycotting foreign goods. sports.

Chen Ke’s analysis of this issue is still very thorough, but for China in the 21st century, the benefits of free trade are huge. After the recession in the United States, China has carried the banner of globalization without hesitation, and has become an advocacy and leader. The first country of free trade.So Chen Ke himself does not oppose free trade, he just opposes free trade that is not beneficial to China.Therefore, when analyzing this issue, Chen Ke was quite pertinent.

You Gou and Qi Huishen's homes are full of compradors, but they can accept Chen Ke's attitude very well.Unfortunately, the classmates of Huangpu Publishing House were mainly from landlords and officials.As for landlords, they are naturally firmly opposed to the impact of industrialization. For officials, they absolutely hate the menacing foreign devils.Although these two types of people were dissatisfied, they did not dare to attack the foreign devils directly.As a result, the object of anger became the comprador attached to the foreign devils.

What is even more ironic is that after Yougou, a comprador woman, explained the cotton issue and the deep economic truth to everyone, these students hated the comprador even more.Even with that, he was very rude to Yougou.

Hearing You Gou's order, the man who was poking his head at the door ran away immediately.They called other students and ran towards the room that served as a conference room.After a while, You Gou walked into the classroom vigorously, and as soon as he stood on the podium, You Gou wrote four large characters on the blackboard, "Seek truth from facts."

Turning her head, she said emotionally, "Some people say that women have long hair but short knowledge. Let me tell you officially now, let's compare hair, and you are longer than mine." You Gou just cut his hair a few days ago in order to go to the countryside.With short bangs and shoulder-length hair, matched with this suit, You Gou looks like a handsome boy.

"Seek truth from facts, so I don't want to hear any disrespectful things you say about women in the future." You Gou made a concluding speech.

The boys below looked at each other in blank dismay. These words sounded ridiculous, but they couldn't refute them.There are not too many people who cut their braids these days.Even if they cut their braids, most of them have parted heads and long hair like that of foreign countries, or many of them simply have long hair in ponytails.The biggest difference is that there is no longer such a light in front of the head.But compared with You Gou's hair, these people really have long hair.In fact, many people don't like this lady very much, but compared to learning, especially foreign learning, they know that there is a big difference.This group of people "dare to complain but dare not speak up." Seeing You Gou speaking so arrogantly, the students looked around.

"The day after tomorrow we will go to the countryside to conduct an actual investigation, are you all ready?" You Gou asked.

"Mr. You is going with us too?" someone asked.

"Yes."

"Live together?" the fellow asked desperately.

"Live separately." You Gou was not intimidated by such ridicule.

The people below are students anyway, taking advantage of verbal advantage is their limit, playing hooligans in public, these people can't do it.Hearing what Yougou said, no one dared to speak any more.

"Everyone has got the subject this time, what is our purpose?"

Xiong Mingyang replied in Sichuan dialect: "Investigate how foreign industrial products have destroyed the small peasant economy."

A month ago during the Mid-Autumn Festival, Xiong Mingyang had an outburst with Chen Ke.Afterwards, they even wantonly spread bad words about Chen Ke in Fudan Public School.After a few days, he calmed down and felt that he had gone too far.The reason why China is really backward, isn't this what Chen Ke explained to everyone.Since Chen Ke was able to explain this clearly, there may not be more practical actions in the future.

Sure enough, by continuing to attend lectures, I got a more in-depth analysis of China's current situation from You Gou.Now that social survey is going on again, Xiong Mingyang is not as excited as before.After all, he came from a bureaucratic family, and he has traveled all over the years, so he finally knows something about the world.If you want to reverse the impact of foreign textiles, the best way is for China to produce products that are cheaper than foreign textiles.If he hadn't attended the class, Xiong Mingyang would have thought that this kind of thing should be very simple, but after the class, he didn't feel so.Things in this world are not as simple as imagined.

"The object of our investigation is the rural areas around Shanghai. These areas have been most affected by industrial products. The time is relatively long, so the changes in the rural structure are quite different from other rural areas. We will divide them into twelve groups according to the distance of the waterway traffic line Investigate."

"Why follow the water route?" An Rushan asked.He has been busy with his homework recently and missed many meetings of the Whampoa Book Society.The reason why I participated in today's meeting is because Fudan Public School gave the green light for social investigation.Mr. Ma Xiangbo can be regarded as a relatively open-minded person. Among the students of Fudan Public School who participated in the Whampoa Book Club, many of them asked for leave from the school in order to participate in this social survey.After learning about the investigation, Mr. Ma Xiangbo called Qi Huishen to inquire, and then discussed the matter with Yan Fu.After discussion, they simply allowed the students to ask for leave, and even selected a group of students to join the investigation team.Although these people are not members of the Whampoa Book Club, they still go to lectures and are also very interested in social surveys.Instead of letting them worry about the students who went out to investigate all day long, it is better to let them participate in this matter.

Now that the school agreed, An Rushan, who had been hesitant to participate, naturally joined.Since he didn't attend the previous meetings, he naturally didn't know the reason for this assignment.

"Waterway is the cheapest means of transportation around Shanghai. Most foreign goods from foreign countries are transferred and sold in other places by waterway. Therefore, we can get a comparative result by investigating the radiation range of waterway transportation. .”

An Rushan didn't know what the word "radiation" meant.He simply asked directly.After You Gou explained the literal meaning of the word, An Rushan still looked puzzled.She said: "To put it bluntly, the farther the transportation is, the more expensive the price is. Do you understand this?"

An Rushan nodded.

"The higher the price of the goods, the fewer people will come to buy them. The lower the price of the goods, the more people will come to buy them. Can you understand this?"

An Rushan continued to nod.

"Then, we need to investigate in sections, that is, to look at different prices and sales volumes in each region. And the different sales conditions of these foreign goods affect the changes in the local social structure."

This explanation was clear enough that An Rushan finally understood.

"Mr. You. I have a question." Lu Huitian raised his hand to ask for the floor.

"Say."

"Then what is the purpose of the survey on changes in inland waterway ports and shipping routes?"

"Some places have become a new distribution center due to the influx of a large number of commodities. There are more people who specialize in commodity transportation and sales, and more people work there. Changes in ports and routes can directly show these The activity of commodity trading in the region. If you encounter a region that has changed a lot, conduct research on the changes in these regions. You will find a lot of interesting things.”

You Gou believes that these students will find many interesting things. You Gou's family started as a comprador.Her grandfather started as a poor landlord in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, selling iron nails and lamp oil, and made a fortune step by step.Just like other people in this era, You Gou doesn't like to tell others about his family background.But since she was born in a comprador family, she is not ignorant of business matters.Since starting a business with Chen Ke and the others, Yougou himself has learned so many things, and he has a comprehensive understanding of the principles that were only vaguely understood before, from theory to practice.The "business classics" that once annoyed Yougou now have theoretical explanations as clear as chemical equations.You Gou felt that he had really benefited a lot.

No matter what the students in the audience were dissatisfied with the female teacher, under such a clear explanation and assignment, they also knew that they absolutely did not have such insight.After asking a few more questions, You Gou announced that it was time for free discussion.She stepped off the podium and out the door of the classroom.Smiling, she said to Qiu Jin who had stood outside the door for a while, "Sister Qiu, why didn't you come in just now?"

"It's okay to bother you. You can hear it well outside." Qiu Jin replied with a smile.

"Sit in my office." You Gou said, pulling Qiu Jin to the other end of the corridor.

Qiu Jin came to participate in the social survey, and Yu Youren was a teacher at Fudan Public School, so he was very clear about this social survey.He had also been to the schools of Chen Ke and Qi Huishen, and he was quite envious when he saw such a large campus.Qiu Jin and Yu Youren had always planned to run a school, but they lacked resources.After the two discussed it, they decided that it would be better to run the school together with Chen Ke.Chen Ke is not in Shanghai now, so he directly made this request to Qi Huishen. It is estimated that Qi Huishen will also read what Chen Ke means.So when Qiu Jin learned that a girl from You Gou would also participate in this social survey, she expressed her willingness to go with You Gou.

Of course You Gou would not refuse. In order to go to the social investigation this time, she also bought a dagger and a pistol.Mr. You was already so angry that his daughter practiced martial arts at home and ignored You Gou.In the past few days, You Gou practiced daggers against the target, and her brother didn't dare to talk to her again.You Gou really didn't have the courage to show his pistol.Practice pistol at home, it is estimated that the old man will lock Yougou in the house and prevent her from coming out.Qiu Jin claimed to be proficient in martial arts, so You Gou made an appointment with Qiu Jin, and the two practiced pistol shooting in the open space of the school.

After carefully closing the door and inserting the latch, You Gou unlocked the drawer and took out a pistol carefully wrapped in cloth.This is a Mauser military pistol.The Mauser factory was patented on December 1895, 12, and officially produced the following year.Because its holster is a wooden box, it is also called a box gun in China; if it is equipped with 11 rounds of magazines, it is called a belly box.Its gun body is wide, so it is also called a large mirror.The one with fully automatic function is also known as the speed machine, and the Mauser factory is called the rapid-fire type (ellfeuer), which was mass-produced in May 20.

The pistol on the table is naturally not the rapid-fire type mass-produced in 1931.But the walan gun body and the beautiful wooden handle are really ugly and cute.You Gou entrusted Wang Bin to purchase the pistol.It cost 38 taels of silver.As soon as she saw the gun, Qiu Jin picked it up immediately. The gun body weighed two catties, and it was heavy in her hand. On the contrary, Qiu Jin felt relieved by surprise.She took the pistol and started aiming around.You Gou was frightened by such a violent move.She quickly pressed Qiu Jin's arm, "Sister Qiu, Wen Qing said the first rule of using a gun. No matter what the situation, never point the gun at your own people."

Hearing You Gou's words and seeing You Gou's nervous expression, Qiu Jin laughed and put the pistol back on the table.

"And what's the second point?"

"The second rule, don't learn to shoot without learning how to disassemble and assemble guns."

"Haha, you remember what Wen Qing said clearly." Qiu Jin said jokingly.

You Gou didn't think deeply about these words, she took out a yellow-orange bullet and started to disassemble the gun.Chen Ke repeatedly emphasized that the maintenance of guns means the first element of life preservation in battle.Watch Yougou clumsily but effectively disassemble the pistol, then wipe down the barrel, spring, and other parts with a set of tools that he apparently made himself.While helping, she asked, "When will Wen Qing come back from Beijing?"

"He didn't say anything. It's probably the Spring Festival anyway."

"Wen Qing's family is from the north, and I think I will go home to have a look during the Spring Festival."

"He said no, he wouldn't think so." You Gou lowered his head and concentrated on wiping the parts.After all, he studied chemical engineering, and You Gou knew that the gun oil attached to guns could prevent corrosion.Although the oil stains on her hands are not comfortable, she carefully greases every part that needs to be preserved.Then he loaded the pistol very unskillfully.As soon as it was installed, Qiu Jin was still holding a part in his hand.

"Sister Qiu, you..." Snatching the parts, Yougou disassembled the pistol again, took out the manual, checked them one by one, and found that there was nothing missing.You Gou continued to load the pistol.

"Wen Qing has been away for so long, and I don't know what happened."

Gou said absent-mindedly.

"He's gone for so long, and you don't miss him?"

"Huh? Why?" You Gou asked casually while concentrating on assembling the pistol.

"Someone said you two..."

"Hehe." You Gou laughed mockingly, but still concentrated on loading the gun, "Let them talk. Wen Qing and I are just comrades and have no other relationship."

Qiu Jin was a little surprised. When she met You Gou with Chen Ke, she felt that Chen Ke and You Gou seemed to hit it off.Later, I also heard some gossip.These days, everyone is saying, "Better believe in mistakes than imitate them." Even as a well-known revolutionary himself, Qiu Jin couldn't avoid it.So she wanted to get some information about Chen Ke's recent situation from You Gou.Looking at You Gou's performance, Qiu Jin felt a little strange.

"Then why is my sister still not married at this age?" Qiu Jin was about to attack in a curve.

"What's so good about being married?" You Gou finally loaded his pistol, "If I marry a hero, I won't be at his mercy. If I marry someone worthless, I don't bother to talk to him. Wen Qing As I said, having a father and a mother is not as good as having one yourself. I just do my own thing well, and I don’t have time to take care of my husband.”

On the other hand, You Gou raised his pistol and aimed at the wall in front of him.Qiu Jin looked at You Gou's strange posture holding the gun, the Mauser pistol lay horizontally.She asked curiously, "Why are you holding a gun like that?"

"Wen Qing said that this kind of gun has a lot of recoil, and when shooting, the muzzle will suddenly lift up. So you have to hold it like this to be able to shoot accurately."

Qiu Jin was really puzzled. Although You Gou insisted that he had nothing to do with Chen Ke, he always mentioned Chen Ke when he talked.Just as he was about to speak, he heard footsteps outside.Soon there was a knock on the door.You Gou was not in a hurry, and carefully put away the pistol and bullets.Put the cloth bag back into the table bucket and lock the lock.Then he got up and opened the door.

Outside the door was Qi Huishen, and it seemed that he was a little anxious to wait. As soon as the door opened, Qi Huishen came in with a piece of paper.Seeing Qiu Jin, he was stunned for a moment, and after saying hello.Qi Huishen handed a letter to Yougou.The content of the letter is very simple, to say hello to everyone.And let Xie Mingxian bring 400 doses of medicine to Beijing.As for his current situation, Chen Ke only said that he was recruiting party members.He looked at Qi Huishen, and then at Qiu Jin.You Gou decides to go practice shooting with Qiu Jin first.
