"What is needed is a party that is clear and can prevail in the sun. When he was lecturing in the country, he made great wishes and ideals, and was willing to fight with the world's scholars for the country's prosperity and resistance to foreign aggression. Therefore, I thought that those who were willing to follow me into the military academy, enter the Royal Guards Legion, and enter various posts in Shandong and Henan to fight for the Ming Dynasty were the same as my friends under Zhu Cihong. With such a friend, Lone can naturally understand that he is not for the purpose of forming a party for personal gain. Zhu Cihong looked at the two of them with shining eyes: "Therefore, what I want is a new Donglin." A new Donglin that can tell us what you are gathered for and what you plan to do. ”

Hearing this, Li Banghua didn't know what Zhu Cihong was thinking about them, and it was in vain that he had wasted decades of officialdom ups and downs.

But it was precisely because he understood the pattern in Zhu Cihong's chest that Li Banghua couldn't help but feel a long-lost blood flowing in his chest, which made him feel unprecedentedly moved.

"This is the prince of my Daming, and this is the future of my Daming! With this knowing the prince, in this difficult situation in the world, there is finally hope! Li Banghua thought in his heart,

"The Ming Dynasty is absolutely free from civil strife in the party and government, and it may end here! Daming Dynasty, a new era, will surely open here! Ni Yuanlu was sure in his heart.

After a long time, when the two of them digested Zhu Cihong's massive amount of information, Li Banghua slowly opened his eyes, slightly erased the moistness in his eyes, got up solemnly, and bowed to Zhu Cihong: "Your Majesty is happy and convinced." I would like to give His Highness a brand new Donglin! ”

"Good!" Zhu Cihong suddenly laughed in unison: "I also have a thin gift here, please accept it." This is not only a selfish expectation of mine, but also for the sake of the world. The support of a group of people with lofty ideals who are united for the bright future of the Ming Dynasty. ”

After Zhu Cihong handed out a plain letter wrapped in red paper, he no longer talked about politics, but chatted with the two.

There is no heavy political topic. Several people discussed quite smoothly for a while. Especially when Zhu Cihong ran out of the topic of how to spend 10 million taels, the three of them became more and more enthusiastic.

"It is a wise move for His Highness to build a military academy. Can the scholar use it? Having a sage to guide this is the best. But where are there so many sages in the world? This is where schools come into play. It's just that today's schools teach the art of imperial examinations, and there is no practicality at all. The move of being able to set up another sub-prison like His Royal Highness is really an eye-opener. The words were speculative, and Li Banghua threw out an appreciation for Zhu Cihong without a trace.

Zhu Cihong smiled and responded, and saw that Ni Yuanlu had something to say.

Sure enough, Ni Yuanlu said with a smile: "Of course, it is a matter of vision, but there is also a problem of financial resources." In this world's schools, there are very few sages who run their own schools. At most, in addition to the county school of the imperial court, it is the clan school. A big family will always work hard to cultivate meritorious juniors to support the family business. A clan that can keep the land in the village is often indispensable to a showman, and those who can keep the family business in the county and township need another person. Those who can be famous in the prefecture and county need Jinshi. If you are desperately studying just for a servant and can only take care of a family wife and children, it will be difficult for this school to be run by the clan anymore. ”

Zhu Cihong nodded, Ni Yuanlu's insight is indeed good.

"This time. Indeed, it should be used primarily on the issue of education. It's just that Fang Cai actually said it. In this world, people always need to be promoted. Zhu Cihong was a little depressed in the previous words, and said it later. The two of them lit up one after another: "As for the money and food used to build the school, it is a trivial matter." ”

Money and Food...... Rather, it's a trifle.

The two of them chewed on what Zhu Cihong said, and left with emotion.

For others. This money is the real trouble. As for people, life in troubled times is as cheap as a dog. What's more, it's still a scholar?

Thinking like this, the two also looked forward to Zhu Cihong's future achievements. It is even more that the balance in my heart is quietly reversed.

On the way, Li Banghua opened the envelope, saw a good paper food stamp inside, and exclaimed: "This is the check of the legendary Hengxin Bank?" 100,000 taels...... Your Highness is so generous. ”

Ni Yuanlu muttered, "Li Weng." If His Highness pays attention to spending most of his money on building schools and education. That's a handiwork of millions of taels, this mere 100,000 taels, it's just a meeting gift. ”

"Then we can't live up to His Highness's expectations." Li Banghua said, took out a secret letter in the envelope, and when he looked at it, he couldn't help but be surprised: "Your Highness has long thought about friends. ”

In the envelope, Zhu Cihong described his expectations for the new Donglin party. First of all, this must not be a secret party, it must be open. This disclosure includes not only the members of the organization, but also the party's program of action, the organization's purpose, and its constitution.

In short, Zhu Cihong welcomes a party with the heart of saving the Ming Dynasty and revitalizing the world to gather people with lofty ideals. But we will never welcome those parties with unpopular intentions to gather and plot rebellion.

This move obviously conflicts with the Ming Dynasty's ancestral teachings, the view that associations are not allowed since Zhu Yuanzhang's time, and it is also contrary to Zhu Youzhen's preferences, so Zhu Cihong only said it in a secret letter.

"Summoning scholars in our capacity can naturally create momentum in a short time." Ni Yuanlu took the secret letter, read it carefully, and discussed: "But I must not make a mixed Donglin again." In my opinion, this program and the party constitution were first worked out, and the names were temporarily gathered in the name of the Donglin branch to give lectures, and the program and the party constitution were perfected and made into school discipline. In this way, you and I will elect people with lofty ideals, and after the assessment is completed, you and I will sign and determine the candidates, and then take them into the probationary party members. Re-assessment in March and May, it is indeed a colleague with lofty ideals, and then the right to invite it. A little...... But I don't know what Li Weng thinks. ”

"Ruyu, but it's okay to be outspoken." Li Banghua was sitting precariously: "I want to elect His Royal Highness as the president of the Donglin Branch, but I am actually the leader of my new Donglin Party." I wonder what Li Weng thinks? ”

"This ......" Li Banghua really hesitated: "Your Highness is the prince of a country after all, will you agree?" ”

"Your Highness is not Your Majesty after all." Ni Yuanlu smiled, his eyes were bright: "There is nothing taboo about identity. Besides, Your Highness has such faith in us, is it not worth your and me's service? Moreover, if it comes to supporting the Ming Dynasty, survival and danger. In such a direction, who can beat His Highness? ”

"It seems that Ruyu is convinced of His Highness." Li Banghua spoke slowly and smiled: "Indeed, in this world, can there be another person more worthy of service than His Royal Highness the Prince?" ”

"I'm willing to go too!" (To be continued.) )
