The chief of Shilin Academy received the main hall.

Lu Ming dressed up and looked at the main hall, where the sandalwood on the desk had been burned, and there were four pairs of calligraphy and paintings on the wall. There are small square tables in the hall, on which are placed two-color tea, delicate snacks, and various fruits.

Lu Ming took a long breath and received the head of Nanjing Yingtian Academy, Ouyang Shouxing, today. Suzhou Luming Academy, Yang Wanyu. Hangzhou West Lake Academy, Chen Fengshan. These three, together with themselves, are known as the four major academies in Jiangnan. I usually have a lot of contacts. The four paintings and calligraphy on the wall are one for each of the four people, and this kind of reception is the highest etiquette for readers.

Nanjing, Suzhou, the same in Nanzhili. The way to Nanchang is farther than Hangzhou, and the two academies are in the same way, arriving a day earlier. They deliberately waited until the head of Hangzhou Academy arrived, and made an appointment to meet Lu Ming all the way.

It can be seen from this that these three mountain chiefs also attach great importance to today's meeting.

Lu Ming checked that it was correct, walked out of the main hall, and shouted: "Please, Mr. Ouyang Shouxing, the mountain chief, Mr. Yang Wanyu, the mountain chief, and Mr. Chen Fengshan, the mountain chief." ”

The three gentlemen were actually waiting in the side hall, checking their appearance. followed the two leading students to the front of the main hall. Lu Ming greeted him with a smile and saluted in unison. The three of them returned the salute in turn.

Lu Ming repeatedly asked Ouyang Shouxing, the eldest to go first, but Ouyang Shouxing did not obey and insisted on the master's head. A few people pushed and conceded, but Lu Ming took the lead, and the four of them stepped into the main hall. As soon as they looked up, they saw each other's pen and ink hanging on the wall.

Ouyang Shouxing said with a smile: "Lu Shanchang really has a heart. Yang Wanyu and Chen Fengshan also responded together.

Lu Ming smiled humbly: "The three of them have come from thousands of miles, I am here to wait, to see things and think about people, so as not to be anxious." “

Ouyang Shouxing said: "We are also anxious, we are also anxious, we go all the way, and even urge the escorted soldiers to hurry up." First, I haven't seen Lu Shanchang for a long time, and I am worried about it. The second is that there is something in my heart and I can't hold my breath. Fengshan is still calm, closer than us, but a day later than us. ”

Chen Fengshan said with a smile: "It's the two of you who arrived a day early, and we made an appointment to get together today." Although I was also anxious, I came here with a time schedule. ”

"Everyone came from afar, just to make a dictionary of words, why don't we sit down and finish talking about business first, and then come back to talk about the past?" Lu Ming raised his hand: "Three mountain chiefs, there is no seat, please feel free." ”

That being said, the two seats closest to the door were sat by Yang Wanyu and Chen Fengshan. In the upper two seats, Ouyang Shouxing took the initiative to walk to the left seat. Leave the right seat of the main seat to Lu Ming.

Lu Ming waited for everyone to sit down and said with a smile: "The three of them are all here with their own proud protégés, and so many young talents have poured into my Nanchang City for a while, is this confidence in me?" Or are you putting pressure on me? ”

Ouyang Shouxing said: "First, I have confidence in you, and second, if you need support, we can help you." ”

Lu Ming nodded and said, "Thank you three for your heart and location, this matter has always been my follow-up." Now that the basic situation has been decided, my four academies can be compiled for the dictionary. ”

"Great!"

"I'll just say, Lu Shanchang will definitely do it!"

"Chief Lu really lives up to his high expectations!"

The three of them did not hesitate to praise each other, Lu Ming smiled, shook his head again, and changed his words: "But! After the three of them were silent, Lu Ming continued: "There are a few conditions, or some troubles. ”

Lu Ming paused and stretched out a finger: "One, Qin Feng has several names that should be left in the dictionary." Second, he originally wanted to collect 10,000 sponsorship fees from each household, a total of 100,000 taels of silver, and he had to give him. Third, Qin Feng asked me to join forces with other academies in Nanchang to support his militia and collect Nanchang health management fees. Joining forces with other colleges has been a problem for me. Fourth, Governor Shu asked our Shilin Academy to raise 200,000 taels of disaster relief silver this year. If the above four conditions are met, we can immediately hold the opening ceremony and compile the Dahua dictionary. If it can't be done, the matter may change. ”

Yang Wanyu said: "The third point, please explain in more detail to Chief Lu Shan." ”

Lu Ming nodded and said: "The militia lacks funds, so ......, the new regulations are that the academy will refuse to enroll the children of those who are on the payment list formulated by the militia and are unwilling to pay the cleaning and sanitation fees." ”

Yang Wanyu nodded: "Qin Feng's remarks still have some truth. Although he felt a little and forcibly apportioned it, his militia also intended to help the victims. What's more, it's only twenty taels at most. Those people should pay the bills. ”

"The problem of payment is not big, and what Lu Shanchang is worried about is that he will not be able to unite with other colleges." Chen Fengshan said with a smile: "I guess that not only will the other academies not agree, but they will also take a salary from the bottom of the kettle and poach the students of Shilin Academy." Lu Shanchang was worried that it would be difficult to fulfill Qin Feng's intentions. ”

Lu Ming nodded and said, "Qin Feng also made it clear, he can not leave his name in the dictionary." Therefore, the editor-in-chief will be our four academies in the future. ”

"Then it's worth it!" Ouyang Shouxing said loudly: "The immediate benefit is temporary, and the dictionary name is long-term." This deal can be done! Just how to do it, let's take a closer look! Lu Shanchang, don't hide it. I've been traveling for days, and I don't know the details, so how can I have an idea? You start by saying your charter. If it's good, why waste everyone's time and make a plan. You can arrange a banquet for us directly to catch the wind and wash the dust. I've been waiting for a long time, and I really want to have a drunk with you! ”

Yang Wanyu said with a smile: "What Ouyang Shanchang said is extremely true! Chief Lu Shan, please speak up. ”

Chen Fengshan also looked at Lu Ming with a smile.

Lu Ming nodded and said, "In that case, then I will be open and honest and tell me what I think." Let's talk about silver first, Qin Feng's original plan was to find ten merchants in Nanchang to sponsor and leave his name dictionary. 10,000 taels per household. Recently, some merchants, including representatives from other places who stayed in Nanchang, some from Beizhili, Shanxi, and you, are all inquiring about this news. So we can modify it, in the face of all merchants, only eight sponsors are accepted, and the preface of the dictionary will praise their family nominations. One household sponsors 50,000 taels. What do you guys think? “

Ouyang Shouxing clapped his hands and said, "Very good!" 10,000 households will break their heads! Preamble Nomination praise, this honor will be passed down for a hundred years, a thousand years. Eight households are not enough to compete for places. “

Yang Wanyu said: "At least leave me a place, 50,000 is 50,000, when I go out, someone will ask me, I can't push away this favor." I had planned to mention this later, but I didn't know that Lu Shanchang had such a plan. I'm for it! ”

Chen Fengshan said with a smile: "I am small in Hangzhou, so I will divide two places, how about I choose two Hangzhou merchants?" ”

Ouyang Shouxing sighed and said, "Fengshan is powerful, okay, since Wanyu you book one place, Nan Zhili wants two places." Chief Lu has no opinion, right?! ”

Lu Ming said with a smile: "It seems that 50,000 is set to be less, and eight households are also set to be less." However, do not fight, do not grab, do not appear precious! That's it. There are three spots left, and I'll decide. “

Fifty thousand taels of silver, converted into fifty million in the future. 50 million to buy a sponsorship name, still in the preface of the dictionary, nomination praise, thousands of dollars! It's sure to be scramble. Whoever has the right to decide is whose resource, non-renewable, is the only resource.

Qin Feng starts, and Lu Ming can play to the extreme.

Lu Ming said again: "The cumulative income is 400,000 taels, and 200,000 yuan will be sent to Governor Shu." Although he opened his mouth widely, I was able to bargain for tens of thousands of taels at that time. But when I thought that he was also fighting for the people of Limin, and knocking me out for the relief of the victims, I didn't have the courage to bargain. ”

"Governor Shu's consul voice is still good. It's just recently that I heard that he was mixed up with the eunuchs. Ouyang Shouxing shook his head.

Chen Fengshan said with a smile: "Shepherd one side, no matter what party they have, as long as they can do things for the people under their rule." ”

Yang Wanyu smiled and didn't speak.

Ouyang Shouxing waved his hand: "Feathers are not easy, they still need to be cherished." Although Governor Shu has a hard time, he is afraid that the evening festival will not be guaranteed. Don't talk about him, Chief Lushan, please continue. ”

Lu Ming smiled and said, "Send another 100,000 taels to Qin Feng, save him all day and night, and instruct Wen to come in and borrow money from me." I have become his account warehouse in Shilin Academy. Give him the money earlier, so that he will not trouble me again. Hehe. ”

Ouyang Shouxing said: "The second thing, the fourth thing, even if it is solved." What about one or three? ”

"Our four colleges are the editors-in-chief. The students of the college who contributed no longer have their names alone. It is not easy to choose to leave a name, and it is easy to lead to gaps between students and between teachers and students. It's not a good thing. Lu Ming said: "A separate name, we set it as the responsible editor, Qin Feng has several names, and we add some respected Confucians in their respective regions, and the names of other academy chiefs." There are about 100 people in total. How about asking them to review the dictionary and fill in the gaps? ”

Ouyang Shouxing nodded slowly: "This plan is very good!" We give them such an honorary gift, and everyone will help each other in the future. ”

Yang Wanyu also nodded: "It's still Lu Shanchang's thoughtfulness, this time when I go out, it stands to reason that I will also fight for the reputation of the whole Suzhou." But on the day of travel, it is rare to see others sending off blessings, but there are cold words, which makes people feel cold. What a reader can never let go of is that false name. ”

Chen Fengshan said with a smile: "From this point of view, Qin Feng did not give Lu Shanchang a problem, but solved a major matter for Lu Shanchang. ”

"Hahaha, Fengshan has a unique vision and looks at the problem quite brightly. That's right, Qin Feng not only embarrassed me, but also fulfilled me. If you really want to talk about it, I still gain more. Lu Ming laughed a few times, and said: "Qin Feng's original partner, Red Sleeve Wenyuan, Nanchang officials, we must solemnly mention it in the preface introduction. In addition, there are still 100,000 taels left in the sponsorship fee, and the students of Shilin Academy are also outside to solicit disaster relief donations, which may raise 350,000 taels. It will also be used for other expenses such as printing. Although the students who participated in the compilation cannot leave their names alone, we can make some meaningful souvenirs to distribute. If the three of them have no opinion, the matter is so decided? ”

The three of them nodded one after another, Lu Ming's series of plans were already the most perfect plan. Even the benefits that you don't expect are counted. The three mountain chiefs also said that when they came to Nanchang this time, they also brought some disaster relief silver, which was incorporated into the donation of Shilin Academy.

Ouyang Shouxing laughed: "Now, we are finally completely relieved, and we will rest when we get drunk tonight." Tomorrow, let's assign a word and let the students start compiling it. This matter cannot be delayed any longer, and we will strive to complete it in two months, and everyone will rush back to prepare for next year's township examination. “

"Yes, next, Lu Shanchang should design and plan, and the words will be the opening ceremony!"

A few people laughed together!
