Chapter 31 Trust?

"Brother Wen Qiang, you have been doing well for a while, which is admirable!" Cai Yuanpei raised the tea bowl and said with a smile: "At first, I had such a big stall, many people were waiting and watching with skepticism. Unexpectedly, Wen Qiang was good at dancing and did everything."

"Mr. Cai has been awarded too much." Chen Wenqiang smiled slightly and said, "I really don't dare to act like dancing. I just applied what I learned to the point of practical use and had many people helping me, so I just achieved some small achievements."

Cai Yuanpei was a little confused about Chen Wenqiang, so he formed an anti-Russian volunteer team to sponsor Zou Rong to run a newspaper in Japan, and found a way out for students of the disbanded patriotic society, and donated funds to study in the Patriotic Girls' School... From these points of view, Chen Wen should at least be considered a sympathizer of the revolution. However, in actual contact, it gives people a feeling of keeping a distance from the revolution. It seems that he is more passionate about business and has many characteristics of the Westernization faction.

"Brother Chen seems to believe that industry can save the country?" He has heard some introductions about Chen Wenqiang before, and Yang Dusheng also had the same impression. Now he can finally ask and get the answer.

"Saving the country is a comprehensive job, with industry, education, science and technology, systems, etc., all of which are indispensable." Chen Wenqiang paused for a moment and expressed humility, "This is just my personal opinion, and there are inevitably mistakes."

"The country is in decline and the court is tyrannical. Revolution should be the first priority to save the country." Yang Dusheng said very directly: "Industry, education, science, etc. should be implemented after the revolution is successful."

Chen Wenqiang thought for a while, shook his head and said, "Why do you have to distinguish between the rules and regulations when it is beneficial to the country? Today I invite a few of you, but I don't want to argue about this matter more. Brother Zou Rong has a secret letter to me, and I believe there is a secret letter to you. I would like to discuss the assassination group with you."

"Brother Chen, please tell me your opinion first." Because Zhang Shizhao was appointed as the Jiangsu alternate road hosting the Su Bao case, Yu Mingzhen, the general manager of the Lu Normal School, was fond of affection and did not pursue the investigation. He founded the National Daily with Zhang Ji and others and continued to promote the revolution.

Chen Wenqiang nodded at Zhang Shizhao. He also knew that one of the teachers of the Anti-Russian Volunteers. "Assassination is a means, which has a deterrent effect, can also expand its influence and strengthen its momentum. But it is obviously unlikely that a revolution will rely on this success. Moreover, assassination is a skill. With only the courage of blood and energy, it may lead to few successes and more failures, and only causes losses."

"European and American innovations have all started with assassination, and now there is no one in China." Yang Dusheng took the lead in refuting, "At this darkest and most humiliating time, assassination is actually an act that will inspire the hearts of the world, and it can reach the rapid succession of the revolution."

"Revolutionism, bloodshed, assassinationism cannot be borne by no knightism. And knightism can forge the soul of our people."

"If there is an assassination when the revolutionary army has not yet started, wouldn't it be very good to just kill the thief of the people and the thieves to punish evil? Assassination is not only a matter of courage for the enemy, but also a strong man in the world is enough to make the stubborn man in the world be honest and cowards have ambitions!"

The admiration of assassination, overestimation of its effectiveness, and the spirit of sacrificing one's life for justice made Yang Dusheng and others disagree with Chen Wenqiang's statement. Perhaps they all have the belief of going to die, so they do not pay attention to the skills issues mentioned by Chen Wenqiang.

For Chen Wenqiang, he was not against assassination, but expressed doubts about the effect of simple assassination. As a way to support the riot, it was naturally excluded. Moreover, after a new understanding, Chen Wenqiang had greater enthusiasm for transforming society, but it did not mean that he had the spirit of self-sacrifice like everyone here. This is probably a common problem for every time traveler. He did not sacrifice lightly, did not want to distort his preferences, and wanted to develop according to his own nature. This was why he felt that it was fair to himself.

Whether a personal dream can be realized is inseparable from the overall environment. Chen Wenqiang understood this and has decided to devote himself to the torrent of the times with a more positive attitude. Therefore, although he has a reserved attitude towards the personnel quality and way of thinking of the assassination team, he thinks it can be influenced and gradually changed.

"Wen Qiang admires all the enthusiasm and sacrifices his personal lives to punish those foolish and cruel Qing officials." Chen Wenqiang said sincerely: "Even if it was not for younger brother Zou Rong who asked, if there was a meager help, Wen Qiang would have no choice." As he said that, he took out a bill of exchange, placed it on the table, put his hand on it, and shook his head gently.

Cai Yuanpei and others were puzzled and looked at Chen Wenqiang without hesitation.

"Wen Qiang has a reluctant request. I want to ask you to come with me to a place, but I just want to feel wronged." Chen Wenqiang said in contemplation: "The rules in the world, before you fully trust you, Wen Qiang doesn't want you to know where you are going. If you are worried, then pretend that Wen Qiang didn't say it." After that, Chen Wenqiang pushed the bill of exchange to Cai Yuanpei and others, took back his hand, picked up the tea bowl and drank it slowly.

Which is easier to sacrifice your life or to create hardships? Revolution is important, but revolutionary comrades also have to have a meal. From a larger perspective, patriotic girls' schools also face a realistic economic problem. Economic problems come from students and teachers, and they also face two debates: Should we engage in assassination, or should we say goodbye to the revolution and run a normal school?

After Su Bao's case, the education association itself was not disbanded, but most of the members dispersed. By mid-June, there were only ten people who arrived. The public discussed the patriotic girls' school and continued to handle it, but the meeting was no longer worth a single money. In order to save expenses, the monthly regular fee was only 150 yuan.

In this case, education will definitely hope that patriotic girls' schools will turn to pure education so that they can recruit students and continue to maintain this change. However, Cai Yuanpei and others are unwilling to do so.

Money is full of money, and it is real vulgar! But revolution seems to be even more impossible to talk about money, but it cannot be separated from money. From buying weapons to rioting, to traveling around the world, propaganda and agitation, without money, you can't do anything.

Three thousand yuan! This is not a small amount. Although Cai Yuanpei and others are not jealous of money, the meaning of Chen Wenqiang's words is not a bribery.

"Wen Qiang is really a wealthy man." Cai Yuanpei reached out to grab the bill of exchange and smiled self-deprecatingly: "The Patriotic Girls' School wants to continue processing. The funds have been agreed to be divided into members, but it only takes half a year. If you have this money, you don't have to worry about it."

Yang Dusheng thought something and asked tentatively: "I wonder what Brother Chen wants me to wait for? Is it because Brother Zou Rong is the guarantor, but Brother Chen doesn't believe me?"
