Chapter 90 Kneeling and Opportunity

In a circle of courtyards surrounded by walls on the Yangjinggang River in Pudong, rows of wooden houses became lively as the sun rose. Workers in white blouses and blue cloth shorts crowded out of the wooden houses and lined up in front of the wooden house with the wooden room number. The whole process was silent. There is no noise, and the discipline is almost no less than that of an army.

The four rooms and four classes are a small team. From the whistle to the four classes, they are gathered into a small team. The process is only one or two minutes. Fifteen days of training and three months of hard work. At least for the construction workers of this 1, 800 industrial company, the articles of association and engineering team are long. It is engraved into the bones.

"Go for a walk!"

Wei Zechen, wearing a worker's hat, shouted. As the captain of the first brigade, he was a star duty officer this week, and naturally he was also a commanding officer.

After the procession, the large team started to walk towards the field in front of the wooden house. In the past, this was the place where they exercised, practiced walking, walked in unison, and listened to the lecture. Of course, it was also the place where they waited for dinner. The engineering team of the industrial company applied militarily managed construction, and the project progress was decomposed into the team class. Similarly, in In daily life, the engineering team maintained by this company also implements strict military management.

Standing on the wooden training platform and looking at the engineering team under the stage in just a few minutes, Chen Moran nodded with satisfaction. At least now it seems that this formation is indeed satisfactory.

Among these workers, the older ones, those who are in poor health, and those who have family concerns have been eliminated unintentionally and unintentionally. Only these people who are not burdened by the family and have a strong body are still here. After all, I don't know where this engineering team will be pulled, but if there is a family, they will be a little worried.

"Report, 1, 800 people in the engineering team of the industrial company, 230 people on leave, 23 people in prison, five people on sick leave, 5,542 people in place, now the formation is finished, please ask for instructions!"

Wei Ze's roar echoed in the field, and then he stood upright and looked up at the boss on the stage.

He is very satisfied with his current job. Although it is far from outside, it is even a little stricter than when he used to be a soldier in the Wuwei Left Army, but this kind of barracks-like life, in addition to the feeling that his heart is like a fish in water, and with this job, he and Qiu Niang eat and drink. Don't worry, as a captain, he has 10 taels of allowance a month and extra income to work. In the past few months, the family has spared nearly 20 taels of silver.

The punishment lies on the 23rd. This number makes Chen Moran feel a little surprised. There are two wooden pillars behind the wooden platform that can be inserted into the steel pipe at any time. There are hanging rings on the wooden pillars. After violating the regulations of the engineering team, he hangs the person with his arms and whips. At the beginning, there were still people who did not accept it and get out of the egg. Xiao Yanren's way to deal with disobedience is very simple, directly Get out of here.

Reality is reality, just like a servant in the family. If you follow the family rules, you can either accept the punishment or get out of here. Those who lie down are punished because of the "public rules", and the lightest people who go out privately also have five lashes.

"Comrades... Hello, brothers!"

When someone looked at it like this, Chen Moran, who was on crutches, blurted out that later generations often saw the chief's words to review the troops in movies and TV, but he still changed his words, but that's the case. He still let the queue hear a little, and Wei Ze, who was a little closer to him, heard it clearly.

"Good boss!"

With a bang, 1,500 people on the scene knelt down at the same time and knelt down. The scene in front of him made Chen Moran frown and turned his head to look at Xiao Yiren beside him.

Aware of the dissatisfaction in Chen Moran's eyes, Xiao Jianren gave a helpless look. This is not his fault. After all, this is an engineering team. The original construction of this militarized engineering team will attract some small words, not to mention the military salute, which may even cause scourge, which he still understands.

So following the old example, this kneeling is natural, not to mention that those captains and captains are also happy to enjoy this kind of kneeling, even this one-knee kneeling, which was proposed by a large team of Wei Ze.

"Cough!"

Chen Moran, who looked a little ugly, looked at the No. 1,500 man who was kneeling on the ground, but his heart was full of five flavors. It was really comfortable to be kneeling like this. Maybe he didn't like this kind of slave, but he liked the obedience.

Chen Moran, who originally wanted to say something, didn't say anything at all. He just looked at these people, but he didn't mean to make them up. Instead, he turned his head and looked at Zhu Jialiang.

"Jiliang, bring me a chair!"

minutes later, Chen Moran sat on the chair, straightening his left leg with plaster, his right leg bent, and clenching his crutches and hands in the middle. Looking at the kneeling workers coming, those people were still knelt on one knee, holding their fists in their hands and saluting, but their faces were full of puzzles.

"What does this mean, boss!"

Wei Ze, who knelt in front of everyone, muttered in his heart like everyone else, but he did not dare to get up. There is an example in the constitution of the engineering team. When the official is rude, the whip is twenty. The whip made of raw cowhide is on the backbone, and the whips and whips are all pulled out of the broken meat. The discipline of the engineering team is all built by the terrible whip.

After the brightness of the morning sun dissipated, the sun was hot. Although it seemed to be cool in front of the forehead, it was only a little dizzy by the sun. Xiao Yuren, who stood behind Chen Moran, looked at Chen Moran in a puzzled manner from beginning to end. Is this the play he sang?

"Young master, you use tea!"

Seeing that the young master was sweating on his forehead, beads of sweat were dripping down his chin. As soon as Lin Yuqing, who poured a cup of tea, saw the young master staring at him coldly, he quickly retreated back, and put the teacup on the wooden platform.

Half an hour, an hour... The hour hand walked slowly. Chen Moran, who was sitting in the chair, felt that his shirt was almost sweating, but the 1,500 people under the stage were still kneeling, and some of them even began to shake. These people were obviously holding on.

A group of things that are not enough to be slaves!

Looking at these compatriots, Chen Moran gave birth to some hatred, and the words in his heart became unpleasant!

Dou-sized beads of sweat dripped from Zhang Jing's forehead, and the pain of his right knee on the ground was still reminding him that this leg was still his. He looked left and right when his mouth was already dry. Everyone was holding on. He raised his eyes slightly and looked at the boss sitting there on the stage.

Everyone knelt motionless here, and the boss sat motionless.

What does the boss mean?

Zhang Jing doesn't know! But he didn't want to kneel down anymore.

"Ran..."

When he opened his mouth, Xiao Yuren still swallowed his words. It has been two and a half hours. Everyone is kneeling here. What kind of medicine is he selling in the gourd?

I'm afraid only Chen Moran himself knows what kind of medicine he sells. Even if they like to kneel, let them kneel like this until when they kneel enough, they are tired of kneeling and want to stand up and be a man. Naturally, they stand up.

Under his head, Dou Da's sweat dripped down his chin into the ashes. Zhang Jing, who already felt a little dizzy, did not want to kneel down again. Unlike the people around him, he was a scholar at the age of 14. Although he failed to take the exam for ten years, it was because his family was poor and had no money to use money, but the other was because of the article he wrote. Different from others.

Although in the past five or six years, in order to see a doctor for my mother, I sold my family's field and took my mother to this city to work. After a few years of hard work at the dock, I haven't seen the arrogance of the scholar on my body for a long time, but the number of bones is still with some. I looked at the people around me, and the people around me were still kneeling and sweating. He gritted his teeth and persisted there.

"Oh!"

With a sigh in his heart, Chen Moran is completely powerless. What kind of people are living in this land? It's just a group of people with full of slaves.

Looking at these people who were kneeling and trembling for a long time, a story came to his mind.

During the Revolution of 1911, Feng Yuxiang ordered his soldiers to cut off their braids. The vast number of officers and soldiers cried and resolutely refused to obey, and later they were forced to cut them off. Later, Feng Yuxiang recruited soldiers to buy horses and ordered: "Any one who has cut his braids should definitely not."

Conclusion: Only people with full of slave names are the most suitable to be made into violent machines. But he forgot that the slave's surname was full or good, but the slave could not beat him.

Slave's surname! For thousands of years, Chinese people have been slaves, and their surnames have long been engraved in their bones. When he felt hateful and pitiful for these compatriots, Chen Moran saw that among the people kneeling, one person stood up swaying and one stood up!

Chen Moran was overjoyed, but he saw that the man stood up, and the people around him seemed to be looking at him. Some people seemed to be moved because someone took him away, but the person who got up walked directly to the wooden house. In the "kneeling array" that he wanted to move a little, it suddenly became quiet again, and people were still kneeling.

"Why don't you kneel!"

A low voice came from behind.

"I can't kneel down!"

Zhang Jing answered without reply. The reason why he left directly was that he knew that the company's articles of association were there. It was better to leave when others wanted to whip him.

Although the captain's allowance of seven taels of silver a month is really a pity, he really doesn't want to kneel down again.

"Oh! Why can't you kneel down!"

Chen Moran, who had stood up, looked at this person who seemed to be in his thirties with a frosty face. He just waited without saying a word, waiting for the person who dared not to kneel.

Zhang Jing, who turned around, shook his head and looked up at the boss with inconvenient legs and feet, but he didn't say anything.

"Is it comfortable to kneel down?"

As soon as the boss opened his mouth, the not loud voice made Zhang Jing, Wei Ze and others tremble all over. They really didn't think about it, they just got used to it. Even Zhang Jing didn't want to kneel down for those two pieces of silver again. Although he was uncomfortable, he said, "My son, this leg..."

He patted his left leg hard, but Chen Moran looked directly at the people kneeling together. Zhang Jing, who was standing in the crowd, was extremely conspicuous.

"I didn't want to kneel, but it broke!"

Chen Moran, who is standing on the stage, doesn't care about his "lies" at this time. No one is born with the ability to coax people. But from the day of work, he has been telling him the fact that who is the best at coaxing people. In this environment where you coax me to coax everyone, even a piece of wood can learn that it is not a thing. The ability.

"It's not comfortable to kneel, I know! So I won't kneel!"

The sound was not loud, but it reached everyone's ears, which only made them a little surprised and confused.

"Today, you are kneeling here. I want to ask why!"

When he spoke, Chen Moran stared straight at Zhang Jing, who was standing a few meters away. He was the only one who stood up. Even until now, the people around him were still hesitating.

"In reply to the boss, that's the money we eat the food of the industry and the money of the flower industry. You are the boss of the industrial company. It's natural to kneel down to you!"

Zhang Jing answered truthfully with his fist in his arms.

"That's good!"

Chen Moran nodded and looked at the person who seemed to be a little neat and organized.

"Then why did you stand up!"

"I..."

Zhang Jing opened his mouth to say something, but his words were hoarse in his throat, but the boss's eyes stared at him, giving him no chance to avoid it at all.

"I... I don't want to kneel down for a few taels of silver anymore!"

As soon as he said this, the people around him were in a mess. Everyone looked at the man in surprise. Why did he talk like this?

"Since you don't want to kneel for those taels of silver, you want to kneel again!"

Chen Moran asked aggressively, all with a look of unreasonableness.

"I...I..."

Zhang Jing said a few words of me one after another, but he couldn't speak.

"You kneel for those two pieces of silver, so you should kneel down. Since you have been a slave, you should kneel down for the rest of your life. Yu Min, I am your boss, Yu Gong, I have the official title from the third grade on my head. You kneel down to me for granted, but why don't you kneel!"

The aggressive Chen Moran has come to the man with a crutch, staring at the man with his eyes.

"Now, I'm just asking you to kneel down!"

The roar only made everyone's hearts tremble. Xiao Yuren and Zhu Jialiang on the stage were anxious for the boss and the young master, while Lin Yuqing looked at the young master, but remembered the scene when he met the boss again.

Zhang Jing, who was stared at by those eyes, almost knelt down, but when his knees were about to soften, he gritted his teeth and shook his head.

"I won't kneel!"

"Why don't you kneel!"

"You just can't kneel!"

"You eat my food, take my money, and I'm still an official. Why don't you kneel to me!"

Staring at this person, Chen Moran looked unyielding.

"Pa, Pa"

Two slapping the dust sounded. Wei Ze shook his body and stood up. He looked at the boss and looked at Zhang Jing.

"You can't kneel!"

"Why!"

Turning around, Chen Moran looked at the leader. He seemed to be named Wei Ze. Xiao Yuren told himself that he had been a sentry in the left army of Wuwei and was also the captain of the mine protection recommended by Xiao Yuren.

He also stood up.

"If you kneel down, you will have no backbone. To be a man, you still have to have some backbone!"

Facing the boss's eyes, Wei Ze said his thoughts. For the first time in his life, he felt that this inconspicuous kneeling man had lost his backbone.

"Boss, you have a hard bone and don't want to kneel. We wait. People are poor and short-minded, but there are still some bones!"

When Zhang Jing was talking, the people who were kneeling had stood up together. Now they would stand among them. Looking at these people who were still full of slave names, Chen Moran laughed.

"Good! Very good!"

His right leg supported his body, but Chen Moran applauded them with his arm hanging a crutch.

"You haven't knelt for nothing for hours!"

Looking around at these people who didn't understand, Chen Moran looked at them with a smile on crutches. This was the second time he smiled after they knelt down.

"Big guy has been kneeling for so long, do you think I, Chen squeal, am bullying people by force!"

There is no sound, but some people do think so.

"I don't kneel myself, and I can't stand anyone's kneeling!"

As he spoke, he turned around and looked at the expressions of these people with something that had not been found just now. He was happy in his heart.

"When you knelt down just now, I didn't see people!"

No one likes to hear unpleasant words. Sure enough, these people's faces became uncomfortable.

"I saw a group of slaves! Buddha competes for a column of incense, and people compete for a breath. The man has gold under his knees, only kneeling in the sky and his parents! If you kneel down, it's not as good as a dwarf. That's a slave. Is a slave a human being? Face and dignity, what you don't want, or are you still human?

Chen Moran's cold words knocked in their ears. His northern language was not fast, so these workers from northern Anhui and northern Jiangsu could understand it.

The words are harsh and tight, but in everyone's minds, they seem to be bombarded. They were stunned and couldn't recover. Even Zhang Jing, a scholar, also opened his eyes to look at this completely different boss.

"But after kneeling for nearly three hours, I saw a real person! It's not a walking corpse! It's a group of people who have regained their face and dignity!"

At the end of the words, Chen Moran looked around at these people again. Seeing them stunned, he smiled in his heart. Then he walked to the stage and met Xiao Qianjin's eyes mixed with a variety of emotions, but he stood on the stage and looked at these people who had not completely recovered.

"Okay! I think you also know me, Chen Moran, maybe you are still scolding me in your heart! I'm not afraid of being scolded. Now to you, I just want to say that if you want to be a man, stay here! Follow me, Chen Moran. I, Chen Moran, will never treat everyone badly, and I have to let everyone go back. If you feel uncomfortable, please do it. I will never leave any difficulties, and I will send you this month's silver for a month!"

It's time to go! Yes, stay!

For more than 1,500 people under the stage, it was a problem. They looked at each other left and right, as if they wanted to get answers from each other. Wei Ze and Zhang Jing looked up at the boss on the stage. For the first time, they found that there seemed to be something in their hearts, and the people around them seemed to have this feeling.

Near noon, the sky is still extremely gloomy, with a faint misty rain in the air, and the scenery in front of you is hazy. Chen Moran stood proudly by the riverside of Yangjing Port, and the 1,500 people stayed. Although it is not ruled out that some of them are reluctant to give up the company's allowance, as long as there is a beginning, things can be done slowly in the future, and sooner or later, he can turn the engineering team into an army.

He walked respectfully to the boss, but Zhang Jing made a salute. Although the boss did not let everyone kneel, the salute still had to be kept.

"Boss, you are looking for me!"

"Is it Zhang Jing?"

Chen Moran smiled and looked at the first person to stand up in front of him.

"I asked you about something. Your mother lives in a shed next to Shanghai County. There are some idle houses on the idle land of the company. They are all under the shelves when buying land. They are also idle. It smells bad in the shantytown, and she stays there as an old man. You are not sure. That's it! Go and clean up and see if you can find an empty house nearby to live in first! It's close, and you can take care of it! And it's sunny there, which is suitable for the old man to raise his body. He will pay ten yuan from the team later. The old man's body is not good. Find a doctor to have a look!"

"Old...board..."

Looking up at the boss, Zhang Jing was full of disbelief, but looking at the boss's face, he hugged his fist and trembled again.

"Thank you, boss!"

"Don't thank me. As long as you work hard with me, I won't be able to treat you badly in the future! Wait for the future!"

Chen Moran pointed to the Yangjing River in front of him.

"In the future, our company will develop Pudong, and I will think about building a house here. These houses are like those foreigners living in the concessions. They are bright and bright, not as cold and wet as the inside. As long as you work hard, each of you will have a house in the future! This is my promise today. Remember, take it as true. If you don't honor it within ten years, you can spit in my face at that time!"

"Little dare not!"

Zhang Jing's bow pressure is even higher, and it has almost reached 90 degrees.

"What dare you do? As long as I didn't honor it, I, Chen Moran, lost my trust. I don't even have a letter. Naturally, I can get it!"

Chen Moran looked at Zhang Jing with a faint smile. The reason for choosing him is very simple. It is definitely not suitable for people in the family to do that. The activity is quiet and long. In case of any accident in the process of work, I will only cause trouble.

It's still the most convenient way to use the workers of these engineering teams. Even if something goes wrong, they can be pushed away. As long as their names are crossed out, they are not members of the engineering team. At most, they are short-term workers who have been hired by industrial companies. If something happens, in the government office, they will say nothing. What impact.

At that time, there will be more than one person in the world who can't stand the torture of the government!

If that's true, I can only blame them for their bad life. Everyone has opportunities. Chen Moran feels that he has given them a chance to change their fate. As for whether they can seize it or not, it depends on their lives!
