Zhang Pu is not sparse and shallow, Ji Qingwen does not know, nor does he care, he chose Zhang Pu only because this person has some fate with himself, when he wrote "The Tombstone of Five People", he also specially added a sum to himself who funded the construction of an unmanned tomb.

In fact, Zhang Pu has an extraordinary personality and a very strong personality, and he is very famous among the Jiangnan scholars, so it is reasonable to let him be the head of the newly established Restoration Society.

However, Ji Qingwen couldn't be completely at ease with this Zhang Pu, who didn't have a deep relationship with him, and added one more sentence: "The resumption of the society is organized by all of us, and we can't do it, but the leader's order is obeyed, I think Brother Zhang's position as the leader is limited to two years." After two years, we will meet here again to re-elect the head of the Restoration Society, and we will do so in the future. I wonder what everyone thinks? ”

Ji Qingwen's method is very advanced, and it introduces the concept of democratic elections in later generations, which makes all the readers present refreshing.

And these people are not stupid people, and it is very good to hear this method: if you can't elect the head of the Restoration Society this year, you can still participate in the election in two years, the so-called "the emperor takes turns to do it, and he will come to my house next year", I can't really get the name of the head of the country!

As for Zhang Pu, he also knew that his foundation was too shallow, even if he became the head of the Restoration Society today, if he didn't have Ji Qingwen's support, this son would not be able to sit firmly, so he didn't hesitate to agree to Ji Qingwen's proposal.

As for whether he can be re-elected as the leader of the Restoration Society two years later, that's another matter.

The overall situation has been decided, Ji Qingwen was in a good mood, and said loudly: "Today's words are very happy, and I also appreciate your talents. It's a pity that I, Ji Qingwen, am a person who doesn't understand literature and ink, so I can't echo it. Why don't I ask Miss Chen Yuanyuan to come out and sing a few tunes to you? ”

In the eyes of these Donglin talents, Chen Yuanyuan's status is not low, and being able to listen to her play and sing again is a thing that can be met but not sought, that is, it will be spread in the future, claiming to have heard Chen Yuanyuan several tunes, and that is also a thing worth bragging about.

So everyone couldn't help cheering, and greeted Chen Yuanyuan, who had been resting in the room for a long time.

Chen Yuanyuan's heart belongs to Wu Sangui, and she has long been interested in these things that are ushered in and sent, and she has long been interested in these things that are being sent and entertained, but she can only reluctantly give in to Ji Qingwen's face, squeezing out a smile on her face, and holding the pipa on stage to play and sing.

This time, Chen Yuanyuan sang the words of resentment in the deep palace of Empress Li, but chose the cheerful and heroic words written by Su Dongpo, Ouyang Xiu, Xin Qiji and others, and occasionally sang two Liu Yong's lyrics, which made everyone fascinated and couldn't help themselves.

After Chen Yuanyuan finished singing, Ji Qingwen ordered someone to bring the good wine and food that he had just ordered, and everyone had a full meal in a burst of amusement and laughter. After the meal, Ji Qingwen asked these newly established members of the Restoration Society to stay in this Dianshan town for a few more days, write a few more articles, write a few lawyers, and fill in a few words, and finally gathered into a collection of essays, which is the "Dianshan Collection" that Ji Qingwen said before.

As for the preface, everyone recommended Ji Qingwen to write it.

However, Ji Qingwen is a pen that weighs as much as a thousand pounds, and it really costs him his life to ask him to write a preface to an ancient text, so he can only hand over this world-famous article to the champion Liu Ruozai to write.

But Liu Ruozai didn't want to be too deeply involved with the Donglin Party and the Fufu Society, and resolutely didn't make this eye-catching article, no matter how Ji Qingwen persuaded him, it was all four words: "Forgive me." ”

There is no way, Ji Qingwen can only see that this matter is left to Li Yan to do.

In fact, Li Yan has been itching to watch those Jiangnan talents dance and write ink these days, so he locked himself in the study for a long time, and finally composed a good article that has been recited through the ages.

This article is brilliant, profound, fluent, and catchy, and even Ji Qingwen, a person who is coarse and well-versed, realizes at first glance that this is a good article that has been passed down through the ages.

But before he could admire, he heard Li Yan say: "Brother Ji, can this article still be eye-catching?" ”

"Of course, of course. Brother Li's handwriting, what else can you say? This article, placed before the articles of this so-called genius of the Restoration Society, will not be inferior in the slightest. ”

Li Yan smiled wryly: "Hey, no, there seems to be a wrong word here, but you have to laugh and be ......generous when you take it out."

Ji Qingwen was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly read the article again, and sure enough, he saw the sixth word in the eighth line, and the word "矣" that should obviously be written at the end of the sentence was written as the word "also".

So Ji Qingwen said with a smile: "Although Brother Li is not a cautious person, he has always written chapters and written words, when did I see you write a typo." It's not easy for me to catch one today, I have to remember what year, month, and day today is, and I will commemorate it in the future. ”

After that, Ji Qingwen picked up the brush on the table and changed the miswritten word "矣" to a crooked "Yi".

Li Yan smiled and said: "Brother Ji is really talented, I am afraid there are not many people in the world who can change my Li Yan's word." Today, Brother Ji is my one-word teacher, and this article is written incorrectly, so I naturally don't have the face to mention it again, so it's better to sign Brother Ji's name......"

Hearing this, Ji Qingwen understood Li Yan's intention - it turned out that the article of "Dianshan Collection Preface" was written by Li Yan on behalf of Ji Qingwen, and he was ready to sign Ji Qingwen's name from the beginning.

This made Ji Qingwen himself embarrassed, and repeatedly prevaricated: "How can this be? My skin is not so thick, how dare I sign my name on Brother Li's article? What if someone else reads this article and asks me to write another article like this? ”

Li Yan was still stubborn, and finally simply signed the name of "Qin Feng Fu Lu Bo, Suzhou Weaving Admiral Ji Qingwen" at the end of the article, and then pushed the door out and announced to a group of literati who were fighting a lawsuit: "Everyone, this is the preface written by Lord Ji for your "Dianshan Collection". Come on, come and come, appreciate the strange texts, and analyze the doubts, how about we read them together? ”

…………

In this way, this article signed with Ji Qingwen's name spread all over the world and has been passed down to later generations, becoming one of the ancient texts that primary and secondary school students must memorize, so that I don't know how many students have died of many brain cells.

After Ji Qingwen's activities, among the Donglin Party, which was originally famous all over the world, except for a few old men who were overwhelmed, they were already empty, and only an increasingly inconspicuous name remained. The newly established Fushe, although none of its members are officials, has gathered many talented and potential young literati, who are preparing to show their strength in the political arena and become a civil official force that cannot be ignored in the Ming court.

And Ji Qingwen, as the behind-the-scenes boss of this force, also has a lot of attention to him.

After the Dianshan meeting ended, he sent people to find the governor of the river Yamen, and arranged a boat to let the more than 30 people who participated in the four-year imperial examination of Chongzhen in the Fushe take it, and the scenery went to Beijing to catch the examination.

After entering the capital, all food, clothing, housing and transportation were naturally implemented by Ji Qingwen, so that they could have no worries and concentrate on the exam.

In response to this examination, Ji Qingwen wrote a special letter to Xu Guangqi, a scholar of Dongge University and a scholar of the Ministry of Rites, not to ask him to help cheat in the imperial examination, but just to inquire a little about the inside story of the scientific examination.

Xu Guangqi is clear, of course, he will not do some things in the field, but it is still okay to reveal some of the directions of the questions and the candidates for the main exam. These messages are extremely important news in the eyes of candidates who are interested in the imperial examination, just like the battle report of the enemy army when the two armies are fighting on the battlefield, and it has extremely important value.

And it was these fragments of information that gave an important reference to the people who participated in the imperial examination in the Restoration Society, and the direction of the review and the style of the composition immediately became refreshing and clear, and the preparation was naturally twice the result with half the effort.

After a scientific examination is completed, among the more than 30 people who rushed to take the exam, there are actually 20 gold list titles, among which Zhang Pu is the champion of high school, Gu Yanwu and Wang Fuzhi are also among the first - only the ambitious Huang Zongxi only won the twelfth place in the second class, which is unsatisfactory. And the rest of the people on the list have also been appointed, which can be described as a momentary prosperity.

You must know that in the Ming Dynasty, the probability of winning the imperial examination is only 5%, and for the prosperous Jiangnan, the probability is much smaller. And the fact that the number of examples in the restoration society exceeded 50 percent, which is already a miracle.

This side of Gangnam.

Ji Qingwen scrapped the "Dianshan Collection" that was integrated with great scheming, and it was really popular, and it was almost as expensive as Luoyang paper. Ji Qingwen took advantage of the situation to let the printing workshop under his name print this "Dianshan Collection" to be sold throughout the country, and immediately became a must-read bestseller for literati and rioters.

And those who have read the "Dianshan Collection" are naturally fascinated by this Dianshan town, and the guests who come here are more than ten times more than before, and the guests brought over are more than ten times, and there are nearly a hundred times more guests inside and outside. Fortunately, this Dianshan town had a surplus of oil at the time of design and construction, otherwise it would have been squeezed out of this place.

And the guests who came to play soon found that this Dianshan town is not just a place to come and go, and there is only one word - that is, "expensive"!

Food, clothes, and entertainment programs are not cheap, and this bustling and noisy Dianshan town has become a gold-selling horri.

And the meals eaten here are all delicacies cooked by famous chefs from the north and south; The clothes worn are all fine silk produced by Suzhou Weaving Yamen; The shows I watched are all unique skills that have been practiced by Shiren for a lifetime; It is 10,000 ordinary wontons, all of which are famous "first-class wontons" in Beijing, and only high-ranking officials in the center of the imperial court have the opportunity to eat a bowl after retiring from the court; There are also famous prostitutes in the south of the Yangtze River such as Chen Yuanyuan, and a song surrounds the three of them, which makes people fascinated when they hear it.

This is called "value for money", so that the merchants who come to play and consume will not want to return, and they will know that they are spending their money - it is worth it!

And most of the money spent naturally flowed into Ji Qingwen's pocket, and the rest of the income was distributed to the workers who worked in restaurants, silk villages, and inns, making them high-paid and successful people among the common people.

As for those civilians who want to come in and consume, but are shy in their pockets, Ji Qingwen can only say "I'm sorry" to them, and it's not too late to come back when he has saved enough money.

It's not that Ji Qingwen is stingy, it's just that his purpose in opening Dianshan Town is to attract wealthy merchants to come over and consume, so that they can recirculate the silver they earn, so as not to settle into the farmland again.

And those peasants and urban civilians who have not yet filled their stomachs should fill their stomachs first and mix less with these extravagant consumption.

Temporarily.
