In another room where Liu Ximing was stationed, Chen Zilong was also chatting with Gu Yanwu and the others.

Gu Yanwu was obviously quite interested in everything in Dengzhou, and pulled Chen Zilong to ask non-stop.

"Brother among people, this Dengzhou style is obviously far superior to other states and counties, since you came here first, do you know why? By the way, why did you come to Dengzhou? ”

Chen Zilong did not wait in vain in the past two months, in order to grasp the details of Dengzhou, after seeking Dou Yuquan's consent, he took his family to walk around the countryside of Dengzhou.

Hearing Gu Yanwu's question, Chen Zilong smiled and said, "I can be here, and it has something to do with Liu Wujiang." ”

"Presumably you have also been in contact with Huang Zewang in the past two years, right? Did he preach to you about the doctrine of great harmony? ”

Seeing Chen Zilong looking at himself specifically among so many people, Gu Yanwu was suddenly stunned.

He is now young and vigorous, and he yearns for fairness and justice the most, and the theory of Datong is perfect and logical, which has a strong attraction to him.

Although he has not joined the Datong Society in the past two years, he has not helped Huang Zonghui to promote it in the restoration of the Society.

Gu Yanwu's table had already explained everything, and Chen Zilong smiled and didn't pursue the matter too much.

"Brother Taichong has also written to me many times to discuss the affairs of the Datong Society, and I will go to Chengshan County first, and I think he is already planning to join the Datong Society."

Gu Yanwu thought thoughtfully, "Brother Taichong once said that the world is the lord and the guest, in his opinion, the world is more important than anything else, and now these conditions in Dengzhou don't just show that this Datong theory is the way to control chaos?" His choice was not impulsive. ”

"I don't deny the idea of great harmony, but I have other concerns."

Chen Zilong paced backwards with his hands in his hands.

"One of them, Liu Wujiang, Huang Zewang and others are named Tuogu, which is actually a description of the present, and there are many refutals for sages such as science, which is what I am worried about."

"Of the two, the Datong Theory is mainly based on Gewu, and most of the people it talks about are the ways of cosmic change, rather than those who specialize in morality.

"The third is the issue of power, why Dengzhou can have today's prosperity, all because Dengzhou is large and small all over the country is controlled by the Datong Society, Dou Xingde in the villages and towns of Dengzhou to implement a unified grain payment, grain purchase and sales, the people form a protective armor, and the government drives the people like an arm."

"What's wrong with that?" , Gu Yanwu asked suspiciously, "Now today's predicament lies in the fact that the imperial court cannot mobilize the people's power in the world, the money cannot be collected, and the army cannot be built, but the Datong Society can make the people as usual, which is its great point." ”

Chen Zilong immediately retorted: "If all the places are controlled by the Datong Society, then how should the imperial court deal with itself? ”

"Hahaha, what's so difficult about this", Gu Yanwu laughed disappreliantly.

"If that's the case, then Brother Wujiang should be the prime minister of the dynasty, hasn't Brother Taichong said many times, the biggest drawback of this dynasty is to depose the prime minister."

"Although the cabinet has the actual prime minister, but there is no prime minister's name, so the name is reversed, which is to facilitate the king to play with power, but it is not conducive to the world. Now that something has happened, everyone in the cabinet is prevaricating, who should be responsible for the world? ”

"If you want me to see, this is the advantage of the Datong Society, the brother of the people has ever understood the organizational structure of the Datong Society, and its structure extends layer by layer, which is indeed much more convenient for governance."

Regarding Huang Zongxi's discussion, Chen Zilong originally didn't understand it very well, but now looking at the government and local conditions, he is a little relieved.

It's just that Chen Zilong vaguely felt in his heart that Liu Ximing didn't seem to be only aiming for the position of Zaifu.

But he couldn't say this directly, because there was no basis for saying that people had other ideas, which was tantamount to digging up people's ancestral graves.

Second, since the Ming Dynasty, there has never been a precedent for Wenchen to rebel, and in the minds of scholars like Chen Zilong, he is even more resistant to it.

He is also a literati himself, and if he wants to admit that Liu Ximing intends to rebel, doesn't that mean that he admits that he also has this possibility.

This is something that Chen Zilong could not accept.

While everyone in the room was discussing, a shout came from outside the house, "Zhongcheng is here in person." ”

Chen Zilong, Gu Yanwu and the others glanced at each other, quickly opened the door, and Liu Ximing and Dou Yuquan, who were dressed in regular clothes, strode in with a smile on their faces.

As soon as he saw the many children of the Restoration Society in the house, Liu Ximing paused, and then laughed and said: "All the sages and talents are here, could it be that they are discussing something big?" ”

"Hahaha, I'm talking about Dengzhou."

The house is full of frank people, and what they are talking about is the world's affairs, Chen Zilong replied with a smile.

"That's just right", Liu Ximing stepped in, "I brought the history of the Dengzhou assassin here, and we just happened to discuss it together." ”

At that moment, everyone in the room invited Liu Ximing to the upper seat, and the group sat down in turn according to the order of the imperial examination.

Dou Yuquan, as the landlord, shook his clothes and said with a smile: "Seeing that everyone is so concerned about my Dengzhou, I am really honored to be in Dengzhou, which shows that we are doing our work well." ”

"Hahaha", Gu Yanwu and the others laughed again.

At that moment, Gu Yanwu took the lead in asking Dou Yuquan about some Dengzhou affairs that he and others were concerned about, and everyone was more concerned about why Dengzhou was able to be different from other states and counties, allowing the people to live and work in peace and contentment while maintaining local safety.

Dou Yuquan is also quite direct, in addition to the Liu family's participation in it, other issues such as the militia system and integrated food payment are also answered one by one.

Faced with Gu Yanwu's question about why the local gentry could agree to pay grain in one piece, Dou Yuquan pretended to smile bitterly and replied that Dengzhou was located in the hinterland of the Central Plains, and it was already dilapidated before he came, and how many gentry were left, so he was able to implement this matter.

Seeing that a group of friends in the house had a tendency to become little fans of Datong Society, Chen Zilong finally spoke.

He arched his hand towards Liu Ximing and Dou Yuquan, "Datong Society can benefit the people, it is indeed the blessing of Dengzhou, I don't ask much about Datong Society, I just want to ask Brother Wujiang, what do you mean?" ”

Seeing Chen Zilong staring at him, Liu Ximing laughed without fear, "Naturally, it is to protect my Huaxia foundation and protect my people's prosperity and prosperity." ”

Liu Ximing further smiled and said: "The proposition of my Datong Society is not something that is unseemly, all of which have been explained to you in detail, and Liu reiterated again that what I Datong Society seeks is to establish a fair and just world. ”

Chen Zilong's face was solemn, "Please forgive me for saying that in Chen's view, it seems that the approach of the Datong Society does not consider how the imperial court is, and these policies you implement are all self-proclaimed, why is this?" ”

"Hahaha, it turns out that the middle brother is worried about this."

Liu Ximing laughed and looked at Dou Yuquan, turned his head to change the topic and asked:

"Do you know what Zhang Pu and Zhang Qiandu did at home after they were deposed?"

Chen Zilong, Gu Yanwu and the others were all stunned, how could they be involved in Zhang Pu, the leader of the Restoration Society.

Chen Zilong had also heard about Zhang Pu's plan, and when he saw Liu Ximing asking such a question, his face immediately changed and he was a little uneasy.

Liu Ximing smiled and motioned for Li Biao to close the door.

The light in the room suddenly dimmed a lot, making the tables of the group of scholars in the room unpredictable.

"It's all my own people here, Liu Mou is telling the truth, I heard that Zhang Qiandu has been planning at home to promote Zhou Yanru's return to Shoufu, this should be right?"

"Everyone must know what kind of person Zhou Yanru is, and I also know Zhang Qiandu's thoughts about doing this, it is said that Zhou Yanru has a handle in his hands, if Zhou Yanru gets to the top position, presumably the government will be in the hands of Zhang Qiandu."

Looking at Chen Zilong and the others whose faces had changed drastically with a smile, Liu Ximing asked rhetorically:

"Dare to ask the middle brother, Zhang Qiandu puts the government in the palm of his hand, what position is this putting the imperial court?"

"This, this, Brother Qiandu also made this decision for the sake of the world", Chen Zilong said with a cold sweat on his forehead.

"My Datong Society is also for the world!" , Liu Xi's life is tight, "Whoever governs the government must first seek its foundation." ”

"Brother Qiandu sees the imperial court at the root, so he can only think of controlling the imperial court to promote reforms. And the world that I see in Datong Society is basically the people, and of course we can only start from the grassroots level to do things. ”

"Although Brother Qiandu and Liu have different methods, the purpose is the same, they are all for the people of the world, it can be said that they have the same end, but I didn't expect that the middle brother would misunderstand, it is really wronged."
