In the open space between the east of Wuqing City and Fengshui New Town, two sheds were built in two days. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info set up a tent to enclose the shape of two concentric circles, one large and one small, and a high platform is built in the center of the circle.

The platform is more than a foot high, and the area is about 100 square meters. It is divided into four directions, southeast, northwest and northwest, and each has a step to extend down. In the middle of the platform is a large flag, which is in the shape of a flag, with blue edges on a white background and a five-colored ribbon on the side. The four big characters of the dragon flying and the phoenix dancing on the flag: Wuqing Wenhui.

This is the venue of the Wuqing Cultural Conference.

In the past few days, in addition to some celebrities and scholars who had been invited in advance, there were countless scholars who flocked to gather.

At this time, the township test was approaching, and the township test was held in the two capitals. Wuqing is close to the capital, and it only takes a day or two to come and go, and the talents who belong to the jurisdiction of Shuntianfu will naturally not miss such a grand event.

It is important to know that today's imperial examinations, although they are not like in the Tang Dynasty, need to be recommended, but the trend of submitting papers to some famous scholars and Confucians in advance to increase popularity is still quite popular.

Even after such a line, in case he fails to be nominated on the list this time, but if the line can get into the eyes of some big people, maybe he can be accepted into a position such as a staff secretary, which can be regarded as a disguised entry, which is better than the result of wasting years and returning in disgrace.

The Daming Township Examination stipulates that in addition to the counties, schools, and supervisors, officials under the nine grades, regardless of whether they are in office or not, can participate. Then, going home with nothing to achieve and studying for another three years is a self-evident choice compared to entering the government as a official first, and accumulating experience and expanding contacts while studying.

In this Wuqing Wenhui, in addition to the officials who did not have a Beijing division, almost all the famous scholars and Confucians near the left of Shuntian Mansion were invited. And who of these celebrities and scholars does not have such or such a relationship with officials at all levels? As long as they can enter their eyes, they will also be equivalent to those adults.

You must know that even if you go to Beijing to perform the papers, you must at least bring a number of ceremonies or something, which is fine for the sons of rich families, but for some children of poor families, they are often talented but do not have the wealth and can only look at the door and sigh.

Now, the Wuqing Wenhui has given all scholars an equal opportunity, and it is also an opportunity to show their talents openly and openly without considering their wealth. Not only that, but it is said that all those who can be selected, whether they are calligraphy, paintings, or poems, will be compiled into a book by the Wuqing Moyun Bookstore and published as a book. This can not only make a name for yourself, but also have a lot of money to polish your pen.

You don't have to spend money to make a name for yourself, and you have the opportunity to earn an income, and all the scholars are crazy. It is said that not only the scholars in the Shuntianfu area, but also the scholars from the neighboring prefectures, many people also rushed here.

There is still more than a month to go before the township test, and it will not be delayed at all if you catch up on the road. That being the case, this great opportunity must not be missed.

In this way, Wuqing County, which was usually unknown, suddenly became famous. And at the current scene of the Wenhui, it has already become a torrent of crowded people and people. As far as the eye can see, there are green crowns everywhere, and the paper and ink are fragrant.

Zhang Wenmo, who was standing on the high platform in the middle, looked at such a grand scene below, his excited hands trembled and he couldn't help himself.

Once upon a time, he was depressed and miserable, and he was in a state of collapse; once upon a time, he was decadently leaning on a small shop, painstakingly calculating the entry and exit of three or five copper plates, sweeping the floor, and becoming a small businessman who was not looked down upon.

Until he met Su Mo.

Do you want to be famous and raise your eyebrows? Do you want to become a famous man in the literary world and lead the coquettish? This is what Su Gongzi said to himself at that time.

At the time, I was so dismissive that I thought it was a dream. But unconsciously, step by step, it really happened. Now that I think about it, it's like a dream.

The establishment of newspapers, the organization of literary lists. From the recruitment of newsboys, to the selection of manuscripts, to the invitation of famous experts to comment, and the merchant's title auction, every step is incredible, and finally he has laid a solid foundation for his small Moyun Bookstore to host such a grand event.

To be honest, at the beginning, Zhang Wenmo really had the idea of going crazy with Su Mo to repay Su Mo's guidance. Whether it can be done, or what the consequences will be, he has no clue.

Regarding Su Mo's original request for him to post directly to invite those celebrities and scholars, Zhang Wenmo felt that it was simply whimsical.

After holding two editions of the literary list, Moyun Bookstore has indeed gained some fame. But this bit of fame is not enough to knock on the door of those famous people and great Confucians. Just so rashly went to the door to post a post, how could people give this face?

Unexpectedly, however, he received a reply shortly after his post arrived. And except for a few people who really couldn't come, almost all the others agreed. This made Zhang Wenmo stunned at the time, and he couldn't understand what was going on at all.

Could it be that the reputation of his Moyun Bookstore is really so high now? It is so high that those high-ranking celebrities and Confucians can be summoned to come?

Zhang Wenmo's whole person is not good, it is too chaotic. The kind of strong stimulation that he knew was impossible, but turned into reality in front of him, made him dare not close his eyes for several days, for fear of waking up and realizing that it was a dream.

This state of affairs was finally alleviated until Sun Sihai came to him to discuss the matter of delivering meals at the venue. It was only at this time that he understood why those great Confucians agreed to his invitation so easily.

It turned out that at the same time that Su Mo asked him to prepare for this cultural meeting, he asked Sun Sihai to mobilize the power of the Sihailou in the capital and Wuqing, and went to the homes of those famous scholars and Confucian scholars to deliver a delicate lunch box.

A restaurant suddenly ran to his home to deliver food, which made all the celebrities and scholars feel strange. If you are strange, you naturally have to ask carefully, and this question fell into Su Mo's troubles.

The person who delivered the food said that Wuqing was about to hold a grand cultural meeting. The Wenhui will invite the most prestigious and powerful Confucians to be judges. In addition, the two scholars of the dynasty, the prince Xu Pu and Xu Gelao, and the university Wang Mao happened to patrol the literary affairs and passed through Wuqing. The organizer of this literary meeting, Wuqing Moyun Bookstore, plans to make a special trip to invite these two adults.

If it were changed in normal times, this statement would definitely be sprayed in the face. You are a small bookstore, a lowly merchant, and you still invite scholars to be scholars?

However, it happened to be at the juncture when the two scholars were ordered to patrol the affairs of the press, and they happened to pass through Wuqing, so this invitation had the icing on the cake. What was originally completely impossible suddenly became a great possibility.

Sihailou's free door-to-door delivery this time is to ask these Confucians to help them make an estimate of their refreshments. Because the refreshments served in the middle of the venue are all undertaken by Sihailou, Sihailou strives for perfection, and hopes to make improvements after the tasting and evaluation of these great Confucians, so as to meet the taste of all the celebrities and scholars on the scene as much as possible, and even the two scholars.

Well, it's not necessarily true that the two academics can really go. But what if it does? After all, at this juncture, the possibilities have increased infinitely. So, if you can also participate, wouldn't you be able to sit in the same room with Da Zheng and Xu Gelao?

Not to mention how high the official positions of these two university scholars are, it is extremely difficult to have the opportunity to come into contact on weekdays. is the high status of the two in Shilin, if there is such close contact, it will inevitably become a good story. How can this not excite these celebrities and scholars who were delivered?

Not to mention, even if the two academics don't go. But didn't the people who delivered food in Sihailou say that the most famous and powerful celebrities were invited to participate in the review. So if someone else goes, but he doesn't, doesn't he say that he is inferior to others?

The so-called article is not the first, although everyone is modest that their articles are not the best. But who is not conceited in his heart? Wen Wuyi is not as light as a literati.

Therefore, if you want to go to this cultural meeting, you must go.

The person who delivered the food in Sihailou left, and everyone then sent their families to inquire about whether this Wuqingwen Society was really something, as well as the scale and details.

At this time, Zhang Wenmo's invitation arrived. So, everything fell into place.

Su Gongzi strategized and took precautions, such a method really has a bit of Wuhou's style. Zhang Wenmo thought about this, and couldn't help but secretly admire it again.

In the shed in the middle of the high platform, the invited celebrities were almost full. The hour had also passed, and some officials began to erect wooden frames in the four directions, and placed tables.

The wooden frame stands on three legs, and the upper part is framed by a three-foot square slab. A piece of white paper of the same size was clamped between the tablet and a clamp.

Next to the wooden frame there is a small table, on which are placed pen and ink inkstones and the like. The four wooden frames are all facing the audience, which means that if they come up to splash ink, they must first let the audience see it. After the work is completed, it will be handed over to the judges in the booth on the stage to evaluate the results.

This is obviously a two-way review, one bright and one dark, which completely eliminates the possibility of cheating. Obviously, the judges on stage will judge the results, but in fact, from the beginning of the creation, all the people below will be the first judges. If any of the judges deliberately favoritism, they will never dare to fake it in this kind of public view. The so-called justice is at ease in people's hearts.

Everyone in the audience is highly intelligent, and when they see this posture, they understand the ingenuity of it, and it causes bursts of discussion. It's just that this excitement is not at all dissatisfied, but with irrepressible excitement.

Bell Bell Bell -

A servant came up with a gong and knocked around the field, and everyone below understood that this was about to begin, and the noise gradually calmed down, and in an instant, it was silent, and their eyes looked at the stage in unison.

Zhang Wenmo's face was full of red light, and he whispered a few words to several Confucians, and then he hugged his fists slightly and strode out of the shed.

Standing on the stage, his eyes swept around below, and then he hugged his fists and shook his fists, and said in a loud voice: "Ladies and gentlemen, today my Moyun Bookstore held this Wuqing Literary Conference, thank you for your hard work and participation from afar. I would like to thank all the great Confucian masters for taking the time to come to serve as judges. Here, Zhang thanked him. As he spoke, he bowed to the four sides again, and then turned to bow to a few people in the shed on the stage.

Everyone below hurriedly returned the salute, shouting words such as dare not and Mr. is polite. Several big Confucians on the stage also got up and hugged their fists, smiling and nodding around.

Zhang Wenmo waited with a smile, and waited until everyone quieted down again, and then said: "It has been more than 130 years since Gaozu drove out the Tartars, went through hardships, and finally started building in Yingtian. Nowadays, the prosperity of the world, the world enjoys peace, this is actually the painstaking management of the ancestors of the past dynasties, and the wisdom and wisdom of today's saints.

However, time flies, life is short, a hundred years have passed in a hurry, the older generation has passed one after another, and countless newcomers have risen. When our generation of newcomers is enjoying peace, have you ever remembered the hardships of our ancestors in the war and pioneering? Have you ever remembered the hardships of our ancestors who overcame thorns and thorns and the blue wisps of the road? Have you ever remembered the supreme great achievement of my ancestors with great wisdom and courage to drive the Tartars to the north and restore the clothes of my Han family?

Mo is also foolish, reminiscing about the past and thinking about the present, and often worried. Fortunately, I Wuqing Su Mosu Gongzi mentioned it, and then I suddenly realized that this event was held. I want to gather the world's virtuous people, with the pen and ink in my hand, to recall the grand scene of the opening of the world, in order to inspire my generation.

Su Gongzi said: I hope that the people of the Ming Dynasty will never forget the difficulties of founding the country and the hardships of building the country; Inherit his will, do my best, report to the Son of Heaven Sheji, and live up to the people. I am a great Ming, forever! I am a great Ming, mighty!"

He stood on the stage and spoke eloquently. In the end, it was already passionate and generous, and hoarse. Everyone in the audience also listened with their hearts shaking and excited. An inexplicable atmosphere gradually condensed over the venue.

When his voice fell, the audience was slightly suffocated, and then they shouted in unison. The voices of "Daming will last forever!" and "Daming is mighty!" resounded in the sky, and the entire venue was turbulent.

The shouts were long and endless, and everyone on and off the stage was flushed and excited. Zhang Wenmo had tears in his eyes, nodded lightly after half a sound, and shouted in a dumb voice: "Wenhui, start!"
