However, Huang Zongxi, who was in the Donglin Party, still thought about it for a long time.

I only heard him say thoughtfully: "Although Lord Ji's words are reasonable, it is undignified for the court to do business. Wouldn't it be a joke for others to spread it like this? ”

Ji Qingwen replied categorically: "Mr. Taichong (Huang Zongxi's character) is too worried. It is true that doing business is despised by the nobles, so this matter is not brought forward by the imperial court, that is, the operation here does not use the name of Suzhou Weaving Yamen, let alone the household department and the Ministry of Rites to participate, all in the name of my Ji Qingwen. Originally, I was a mercenary businessman's son, and my dignity was long gone. ”

Hearing this, Huang Zongxi couldn't help but be moved: "Scholars pay attention to standing, morality, and speech. Lord Ji would rather slander the world than do something practical for the country. Guan Yiwu was just like that back then. ”

Guan Yiwu is the Xiangguo Guan Zhong of the Spring and Autumn Period, the first tyrant of Qi Huan. Duke Huan of Qi was not actually a particularly wise monarch, especially in his later years, when his daily expenses were increasing day by day, and even the richest and most powerful of all the vassal states could not support it. In order to continue to support the government, Guan Zhong came up with various ways to manage money, and even came up with such a bad trick as opening a government-run brothel (and because of this, later the brothel in Qinglou worshiped Guan Yiwu as his ancestor).

Although Guan Zhong's approach did not conform to the taste of ancient Chinese scholars, everyone knew that he was carrying the black pot for Duke Qi Huan, which was the so-called "slander", but it became the highest state of loyalty to the monarch and was appreciated by literati in all dynasties.

Therefore, Huang Zongxi compared Ji Qingwen to Guan Zhong, which is already a very high evaluation.

The last person who was compared to Guan Zhong was Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of Shu Han. What is Zhuge Liang's status in history, then there is no need to talk about it in detail......

Guan Zhong and Zhuge Liang have such deafening names, even hard-working programmers like Ji Qingwen know it.

Therefore, when he heard Huang Zongxi's praise, he felt a burst of joy in his heart, but he hurriedly reminded himself to keep a low profile, so he hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Mr. Huang Taichong is really a false praise." At that time, the sages of the Donglin Party such as Yang Lian and Zuo Guangdou, although I did not have the opportunity to meet, they were also like thunder. In the next place, it is just admiration and imitation of them. ”

Huang Zongxi and others politely became polite as usual, saying that Ji Qingwen deserved his name and did not need to be too modest.

Li Yan on the side saw that these scholars were not finished politely, so he hurriedly said: "Brother Ji, if you are polite, it will be dark." Let's get down to business. ”

This gave Ji Qingwen a wake-up call, only to hear him raise his hand and say: "Everyone, I invite all the elites of the literary world to come here today, there is something to ask for. ”

"Lord Ji, please speak."

"As I said, my town was built to make money for the country. But now the business is not very good. Therefore, I would like to ask you to write a few poems and essays for my town here, if you are too lazy to take care of me, even if you leave a couplet, it is good......" Ji Qingwen said.

Having said that, Ji Qingwen's small request, these Donglin Party members naturally would not refuse, and they agreed one after another without thinking about it.

So Ji Qingwen ordered someone to take a ready-made pen, ink, paper and inkstone, remove the teacups, snacks, and melon seeds on the table, and immediately let them spread the paper and ink, and write poems and songs in front of them.

To say that these Donglin Party members have not learned much from the real talents of the world, but the kung fu of pen and ink is still passable. In just half an hour, he collected seven or eight articles, twenty or thirty poems, and more than forty couplets......

Seeing this, Ji Qingwen was overjoyed in his heart, and said: "You are all famous people in the literary world, and when these articles are spread, they will inevitably shake the world. ”

These literati of the Donglin Party were like modern singers and actors in ancient times, and the so-called self-contained traffic means them. As long as the information of today's grand event is spread, it will naturally be that there will be people who are vassals and elegant people who come to pay homage to the holy place, and naturally more and more people will gather with it.

This is what later generations called the advertising effect.

These Donglin Party members are immersed in ancient books, and they naturally don't know anything about the modern ideas and concepts of later generations.

Even Wang Fuzhi, who has the most advanced and progressive thoughts, said: "Lord Ji, I came in a hurry today, and I didn't save up poetry. However, this Dianshan town is a grand view, it is better for us to stay for a few more days, during which the poems and essays are collected into a "Dianshan Collection", and then a "Preface" is written by Lord Ji himself. When the time comes, it will be published all over the world, and students will not be second to Wang Xizhi and others' "Lanting Collection" back then. ”

was first compared to Guan Zhong, and now compared to Wang Xizhi.

No matter how thick-skinned Ji Qingwen was, he was embarrassed, scratching his head and not knowing what to say politely.

But I heard Li Yan remind me in my ear again: "Brother Ji, things are going very well, it seems that you can get an inch!" ”

This is a countermeasure that Ji Qingwen and Li Yan have already discussed.

Today, so many Donglin Party members have gathered, and let them leave Mobao is the bottom line, which is related to the rise and fall of business in Dianshan Town, and it must be done no matter what. In addition to this matter, there are two other things that can and may not be done.

One of them is to humiliate Qian Qianyi in front of the public and drag him down from the position of the leader of Donglin. Ji Qingwen has already done more than half of this matter, and now Qian Qianyi is an old dog who has been beaten to the point that he only has one breath left, and when he throws it into the water, he will whine.

The second is to strive to reorganize the Donglin Party and let these people become the forces under Ji Qingwen's name, at least Ji Qingwen can have a significant influence on it.

Why did Ji Qingwen do this? It is because in the process of contact and conflict with the imperial court that in such a Shura field during the Chongzhen period of the Ming Dynasty, it is not enough to have money and soldiers, but must have their own eyes and ears and their own tongue in the imperial court.

Ears and eyes, Ji Qingwen has already filmed Li Yuanyin to prepare, the purpose is to have a spy force that obeys his command and is independent of the Jinyi Wei system.

As for the tongue, it is used to control public opinion in the government and the opposition. He originally hoped that this Li Yan or Liu Ruozai would help him complete this task, but Li Yan had already made no choice but to pursue a career, and Liu Ruozai was also sent to Jiangnan by the emperor, and he had lost the conditions to become his official spokesperson. Therefore, Ji Qingwen urgently needs these Donglin Party members to turn enemies into friends and become people who can speak for themselves.

Of course, Ji Qingwen is not the kind of broad-minded person who can hide filth and dirt, nor is it just a small person who can become his henchman if he wears the hat of the Donglin Party.

Therefore, reorganizing the Donglin Party is a necessary thing.

However, this group of self-proclaimed gentlemen of the Donglin Party are all hard-headed and brainless, and it is really easy to completely disrupt the original organizational system of the Donglin Party and reorganize it?

But now, this matter can be unexpectedly solved naturally - the original Donglin leader Qian Qianyi has been discredited; And the rest of the young Zhuang faction of the Donglin Party are already convinced by Ji Qingwen - it is a great opportunity to reorganize the Donglin Party.

So when a group of Donglin Party members were chewing words, Ji Qingwen had already started an intense discussion with Li Yan, and the result of the discussion was: "It is better to hit the day than to choose a day, and we must take advantage of the hot iron to do a good job in this matter." ”

Therefore, Ji Qingwen said loudly to everyone: "Everyone, the words are just some small carving skills. Since ancient times, it has been passed on by the name of the text, and the articles that have been passed down through the ages in ancient times, such as the "Teacher Table", "The Story of Yueyang Tower", "Ten Thoughts of Emperor Taizong", etc., the author Zhuge Liang, Fan Zhongyan, Wei Zheng, etc. are all noble and intellectual. Therefore, our composition is still secondary, and the key is to rely on real talent to serve the court and the people. ”

Ji Qingwen's words were reasonable, and everyone nodded in acknowledgement.

Seeing this, Ji Qingwen became more and more confident in his heart, so he continued: "I just said it. The backbone of the Donglin Party back then can't survive much now. Only by removing the false and preserving the essence and keeping pace with the times can we carry forward the past and forge ahead into the future. Therefore, Bucai Ji Qingwen proposed that the Donglin Party should be reorganized and the demeanor of the sages of the year should be restored. ”

As soon as these words came out, the Donglin Party people in the hall immediately burst into an uproar, exchanging heads and whispering to each other. After a long time, I saw Huang Zongxi, Gu Yanwu, Wang Fuzhi, Zhang Pu and others get up and say: agree.

These four people are the leading figures in the young Zhuang faction of the Donglin Party, these people agreed, and the matter was naturally settled, seeing that the reorganization of the Donglin Party, which was more difficult than ascending to the sky, was about to be completed, but Qian Qianyi said: "No." Although the Donglin Party has no history, it has also been passed down by generations of sages. ”

If you want to say that Ji Qingwen's basic plate is the various money-making industries that have been made in Dianshan Port and Dianshan Town, then Qian Qianyi's basic plate is the political group of the Donglin Party.

Now that the Donglin Party is about to be wiped out under the impetus of Ji Qingwen, how can he not stop it in a hurry?

But the current Qian Qianyi is no longer the Qian Qianyi of the past, and the current Ji Qingwen is not the original Ji Qingwen. What Ji Qingwen wants to do, there is no need to beg Qian Qianyi anymore.

I only heard Ji Qingwen sneer: "Hmph! The reorganization of the Donglin Party is the result of a collegial discussion by all of us, and no one has the final say, and no one has said whether it is counted. If Mr. Qian Yushan did not agree, he could naturally quit the Donglin Party. Although Mr. is known as the leader of the Donglin Party, it is just a moral article that everyone admires Mr. To put it mildly, you are not the king of heaven, why do you want everyone to listen to you? ”

After refuting Qian Qianyi again, Ji Qingwen turned his head again and said, "Okay, since everyone agrees to reorganize the Donglin Party, then ...... Why don't we come up with a name for the new party first? ”

The so-called "name is not right", in ancient times, you had to be cautious when naming a wonton stand, let alone such a political group with a clear purpose?

So everyone discussed it again, and finally pushed Huang Zongxi out again, proposing: "Since Lord Ji said that the new party is to inherit the legacy of the sages and restore the spirit of the sages, then the new party should use the word 'Fu'...... Why don't you just call it 'Fusha'? ”

Ji Qingwen was stunned when he heard it - he knew that in real history, the juniors of the Donglin Party really organized a derivative organization of the Donglin Party, and the name was also called "Fushe", is this a historical coincidence?

Yes and no.

Although the name of the "Fushe" is the same, it is very different on the inside, and it has abandoned the shortcomings of the Donglin Party's short-sightedness, pedanticy and mediocrity, and has become a progressive political organization in the standard sense.

Thinking of this, Ji Qingwen was suddenly relieved, and said with a smile: "You are worthy of being great talents, I think the name 'Fushe' is very good." I declare that today is the time for the establishment of the 'Restoration Society'! ”
