Zhang Sunzhen's resignation represents that Ma Cheng is completely inferior in the struggle with Qi Biaojia, and Xie Qikun is a wall-to-wall grass, who was originally unclear with the Donglin Party, and now seeing Ma Cheng's loss of power, he completely fell to Qi Biaojia. And Qi Biaojia reciprocated the favor, and Shangshu Bao promoted Xie Qikun to take over as the political envoy, and Qi Biaojia was in the limelight in Suzhou City for a while. Ma Cheng had no choice but to obediently hide in the military camp outside the city and never show his head again.

Of course, there are good and bad things in this matter, and half a month after the Xinfa incident, a small number of literati began to come to Ma Cheng one after another. There are hundreds of people and hundreds of statues, there are defenders like Qi Biaojia who defend the interests of the ruling class, and naturally there are gravediggers like Ma Cheng. When the news of Ma Cheng's new law spread all over Nanzhili, some people of insight from all over the country and some enthusiastic young people were ready to go to Suzhou to have a look, talk with Ma Cheng, and find out what he thought about changing this old world.

At first, Ma Cheng was very happy to accept this group of hot-blooded young people, but after talking, Ma Cheng found that he couldn't talk about it at all, it was not that these people were making trouble unreasonably, but that Ma Cheng's bottle of water was only half, and he was not satisfied, where could he explain anything to others?

I only know the name of the new Fa Ma Cheng, as for what to do, how to implement it, I don't have any idea in my heart. This is also no way, the later TV series only talked about the approximate method, how to spread the law into the mu, how to operate the fire consumption to the public, and how to implement the promotion of the official gentry's integrated grain payment, Ma Cheng didn't know at all.

At this critical moment, Ma Cheng's helper came, this person was Ma Cheng's eldest brother Ma Luan's good friend, the largest landlord in Songjiang Mansion, and an important member of several societies, Xu Fuyuan Xu Gong.

Xu Fuyuan is a native of Songjiang Huating, the great-grandson of Xu Zhi, the younger brother of Xu Jie, a famous minister in the last years of Jiajing, the Xu family is the largest big landlord in the south of the Yangtze River, and the land under Xu Fuyuan's name is more than 30,000 acres.

After Ma Cheng learned the news, he made another ceremony to greet him, but this time Ma Cheng had experience and did not go out barefoot, but wore a pair of thick-soled socks. Now that Suzhou has entered August, the weather is starting to get cooler, and it is not too much to wear a pair of thick-soled socks.

Ma Cheng came out of the big tent and ran to the gate of the camp, and saw a middle-aged man talking to Chen Zilong, this person was Xu Fuyuan.

Ma Cheng had a relationship with Xu Fuyuan a few years ago, but at that time, Xu Fuyuan was full of spring breeze, which was completely different from the vicissitudes of life now.

Ma Cheng trotted all the way to Xu Fuyuan, bowed deeply and said, "Mr. Xu, boy Ma Cheng meets Mr. Xu!" Mr. Xu's coming this time is like a phoenix casting Liu Bei, making the kid shine! ”

Xu Fuyuan had a very bad impression of Ma Cheng, half of the reason for coming this time was that he wanted to see Ma Cheng, who proposed the new law, and another reason was Chen Zilong's persuasion. Xu Fuyuan knew that although Chen Zilong was generous on the surface, he was very arrogant in his heart. Chen Zilong can strongly recommend Ma Cheng, and Xu Fuyuan naturally wants to come over to take a look.

Xu Fuyuan bowed and returned the salute, and then said: "Lord Inspector is very polite, Xu Mou is only here at the invitation of the people, come and see your friends, don't say anything about taking refuge!" ”

What are you going to do if you don't come to yourself? Ma Cheng didn't know what Xu Fuyuan meant, and glanced at Chen Zilong.

Chen Zilong immediately changed the topic and said: "Brother is from Fujian, the road is far away, please first."

Go in and talk! After Chen Zilong finished speaking, he gave Ma Cheng a look, and Ma Cheng hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, please, boy, let people arrange a banquet!" ”

After entering the big tent, Ma Cheng instructed his subordinates to prepare a banquet, and in order to show respect, Ma Cheng also found Wang Xian, another important adviser of his own, and accompanied Xu Fuyuan to dinner.

Xu Fuyuan is a righteous gentleman, and he pays attention to food and sleep, so he doesn't have anything to say at the dinner table. This made Ma Cheng anxious, touched Wang Xian with his foot, and Wang Xian, who received the order, quickly got up and toasted a glass of wine, and then asked without words: "Where did the brother come from?" ”

Xu Fuyuan said nonchalantly: "Xu came from Fujian!" After finishing speaking, he may not feel very detailed, and then said: "From the Tang King of Fujian!" ”

It turned out that the Qing army crossed the river three years ago, and after Xu Fuyuan learned that the southern capital had fallen, he immediately contacted his fellow villagers Chen Zilong and Xia Yunyi, and organized a rebel army of thousands of people after selling his property, preparing to raise troops against the Qing. But these three people are all scholars, where is the material for leading the troops to fight, and after a few battles with the Qing army, they are not opponents, so the three of them have to go to other places.

Xu Fuyuan ran south to Fujian alone, and happened to meet Zhu Yujian, the king of the Tang Dynasty, who was in charge of the country in Fuzhou. In history, Xu Fuyuan only stayed in Fuzhou for one year, and after the Qing army went south to defeat Zhu Yujian, Xu Fuyuan had to run to Taiwan with Zheng Chenggong.

However, in this time and space, the Qing army was defeated by Ma Cheng in Nanjing City after a year of siege, so that several self-reliant small courts in the south of the Yangtze River were retained, and Xu Fuyuan heard Ma Cheng's prestige for the first time at this time.

When Xu Fuyuan first heard that Ma Cheng led 10,000 people to defeat the 400,000 Qing army, he didn't believe it at all, but he didn't expect that the second ancestor who was like a hooligan had this ability, Xu Fuyuan felt that he had lost his eyes for the first time.

Two years after being in Fuzhou, Xu Fuyuan received a letter from his friend Chen Zilong, only to know that his friend had taken refuge in Ma Cheng. But this is not the most exciting, Chen Zilong slightly revealed Ma Cheng's new method in the letter, which made Xu Fuyuan's heart itch unbearable.

Xu Fuyuan was born in a family of large landowners of the Dashi clan, and his father, grandfather, and great-grandfather were all famous, and this kind of background should have grown up to be the spokesman of the ruling class. But Xu Fuyuan is a watermelon that grows in the gourd field, which is completely incompatible with his background.

Xu Fuyuan's thinking can be said to be completely deviant, he believes that the current chaos in this country is completely the fault of the ruling class, and now that the scholar class has rotted to the roots, it should be overturned and rebuilt to establish a kind of legal society founded by Legalists in the Qin and Han dynasties. Only by using etiquette to restrain scholars and using law to manage officials can we establish an ideal world of great harmony in the world.

This kind of thinking was completely unimaginable at the end of the Ming Dynasty, so Xu Fuyuan did not gain fame at the age of forty, and finally in the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, he was only admitted at the age of forty-four.

In his interactions with fellow villagers Chen Zilong, Xia Yunyi and others, he found that these people had the same or similar ideas as him, so Xu Fuyuan contacted several friends and established several societies.

Several societies preached that "there are a few revivals of absolute learning, and the righteousness of several gods is known", and the political proposition is to respect the ancient and retro, and at the same time, the literary works of these people are in time

The turbidity of politics and the suffering of people's livelihood have also been exposed.

Xu Fuyuan was such a person, after learning about Ma Cheng's whimsical ideas, his eyes were opened, and he thought that this society should do this in order to establish his ideal Datong society, so Xu Fuyuan ignored the retention of Zhu Yujian, the Tang King of Fuzhou, and insisted on resigning and returning to Nanzhili.

However, Xu Fuyuan said these words to Chen Zilong, and did not tell Ma Cheng, he still wanted to observe Ma Cheng, after all, Ma Cheng's reputation was not good before, although Xu Fuyuan wanted to realize his ideals, he did not want to serve a warlord tyrant.

Xu Fuyuan saw that since Wang Xian asked, he was not silent, put down his wine glass and asked straight to the point: "Master Supervisor, Xu heard about the new law of Master Inspector in Fuzhou, can you say it and let Xu see it!" ”

In the past half a month, Ma Cheng has heard this sentence no less than a hundred times, and all the literati who came have to ask Ma Cheng what the new law is all about. If Ma Cheng can explain it in detail, it's nothing, it's nothing more than a waste of foam, but Ma Cheng studied computers, where does he know how to reform the social system.

Ma Cheng saw Xu Fu looking at him from afar, and had no choice but to tell the truth: "Say it and make Mr. Xu laugh, these two new laws are only remembered by the kid, and I really don't know the specific details!" ”

Ma Cheng can deceive others with this, but how can he deceive the extremely smart Xu Fuyuan. People know what level you Ma Cheng has, if you Ma Cheng comes up with a weapon or a method of warfare, there is no problem with this, because you are a general. But now that you have come up with a new way to solve social problems, it makes people wonder if someone wants to achieve something with your horse.

"Master Supervisor, Xu has traveled thousands of miles from Fuzhou to Suzhou, isn't it worth the Lord Supervisor's heart?"

Ma Cheng heard Xu Fuyuan say this and knew that this guy was a little angry, but he really couldn't blame Xu Fuyuan, people came to ask questions, but you Ma Cheng said that he didn't know what to think, which was really excessive. At the same time, Ma Cheng saw that Chen Zilong and Wang Xian were also looking at him, these two were different from Xu Fuyuan, these two were his henchmen, if he didn't tell them the truth, would they be able to play together there?

Ma Cheng had no choice but to grit his teeth and said, "Since Mr. Xu asked about that kid, let's tell the truth!" Here's the thing, everyone knows that a year ago, the boy was relieved of all his duties and lived at home, and he drank too much and slept at home one day, when suddenly a white-bearded old man came to the boy's bed and said to the boy that he was the Duke of Zhou, and he came to meet the Son of Heaven! ”

"Everyone knows that today's son is Shao Wu Tianzi, so where did the kid dare to agree, he had to scold him for being a thief, and he really wanted to draw a knife to hack this old bastard to death, but he didn't expect this old guy to have strong mana, and with a wave of his hand, the scene changed, and he actually took the kid to the next generation, and the scene that the kid saw was the kid ascending the throne and becoming the emperor!"

Ma Cheng said this, Xu Fu stood up suddenly, and said angrily: "Ma Cheng, what are you talking about these proverbs? Do you want to rebel? ”

Xu Fuyuan was deeply educated by the Ming Dynasty for hundreds of years, and was loyal to the Ming Dynasty. Xu Fuyuan is also an intellectual no matter how he says it, he pays attention to the gods and blames the gods, and at the same time hates those gods and witches in history.
