During the ceremony of the establishment of the Zhongxing Society, there were no problems, Fan Jingwen, Wang Daozhi and Sun Chengzong spoke successively, and everyone applauded and cheered.

Seeing such a scene, Su Tiancheng was in a trance, and he couldn't imagine that the habit of applauding and welcoming the leader's speech existed in the Ming Dynasty, which was not recorded in ancient books.

As soon as the ceremony ended, Liu Yunqing began to get busy.

The Zhongxing Society has recruited some clerks, of course, these people are all drawn from the county government. The status of the official is lowly, and he can enter the Zhongxing Society, and maybe he has the opportunity to participate in the imperial examination, which is of course a good thing, so the officials who are transferred are all dedicated and conscientious to do their part.

Fan Jingwen, Wang Daozhi, Qin Sande, Zhang Taining and others all left after the ceremony.

Sun Chengzong, Lu Shanji, and Huang Dao entered the Jing Si Hall, where they would discuss many issues with the members of the Zhongxing Society, and of course, all the conversations would be recorded.

The next thing should be handled by Liu Yunqing and others, Su Tiancheng is also ready to go back to the county office, staying here, there is not much to do, he is not willing to interfere in the specific affairs of the Zhongxing Society, that is to make trouble for himself.

When Su Tiancheng was about to leave, Liu Yunqing hurriedly came over, and the expression on his face was a little unnatural.

"Liu Yunqing, what's wrong, did you see anything in Yulu?"

"My lord, my subordinates really encountered trouble."

Su Tiancheng looked at Liu Yunqing and didn't speak, not knowing what was embarrassing for Liu Yunqing when he met him.

"A person named Liu Fengchun came to sign up and asked to join the society, but this person is not a scholar."

"Something like that. You can handle it yourself, you don't need to say anything, Zhongxing Society, in principle, recruits gentry and scholars, not just anyone can come in. ”

Su Tiancheng didn't think much about it, Zhongxing Society. Since it is named a society, of course, it is to recruit readers, and it is not that people in the market are not recruited, but it must have an extraordinary impact, and it can be decided at its discretion.

"My lord, this Liu Fengchun is still a little famous, and his subordinates are a little embarrassed."

"Oh. Then tell me, what kind of character is this Liu Fengchun? ”

"Liu Fengchun is a storyteller in Hangzhou and Yangzhou, and he is not very famous, and his subordinates have heard of it."

Su Tiancheng blinked, as if he remembered something.

"Does Liu Fengchun have any other names?"

"The subordinates are not very clear, but they know that Liu Fengchun is Jingting."

Su Tiancheng suddenly stood up, and he remembered. It turned out that this person was Liu Jingting, a famous storyteller in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties. However, Liu Jingting is called Liu Mazi, and Liu Jingting's face has a lot of pockmarks.

"Tell me, what does Liu Fengchun look like."

Liu Yunqing looked at Su Tiancheng, the expression on his face was a little embarrassed, he didn't know why Su Tiancheng asked like this.

"My lord, Liu Fengchun has some little beanie on his face......"

"I got it. You go and invite Liu Fengchun, no, I will visit Liu Fengchun in person. ”

Liu Yunqing was taken aback, and he didn't know why Su Tian would do this, even if Liu Fengchun was good at telling the story. But after all, he is a person in the market, and he doesn't need to visit in person, he thought about asking Liu Fengchun to come over, but Su Tiancheng had already walked in the direction of Jing Si Hall.

When he came to Jingsi Hall, Su Tiancheng saw a strange scene.

Sun Chengzong, Lu Shanji and Huang Dao sat at the top of the meditation hall, and there were many people sitting below, many of them had disdainful faces on their faces, and a middle-aged man with pockmarks on his face stood in the middle, his face was slightly red.

Everyone didn't speak, and it seemed that they had a bad opinion of this middle-aged man.

After Su Tiancheng came in, Sun Chengzong stood up first.

"Hehe, Master Su is here, I haven't seen you today, and the old man is still worried about whether there was something wrong with him before."

Su Tiancheng's fame in Nanzhili is not small, and he has done too many things, although he is only the magistrate of Liupin, many scholars regard him as a role model.

Some people who didn't know Su Tiancheng heard what Sun Chengzong said, and they all stood up and greeted Su Tiancheng.

The middle-aged man standing on the side seemed to be ignored by everyone.

After Su Tiancheng greeted everyone, he quickly arrived in front of the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man's face was already very red, probably because he was ignored by everyone, and his self-esteem was greatly damaged, but at such a time, it was also very impolite to walk away, after all, the people in the meditation hall were not ordinary.

"This must be Brother Liu, Su Tiancheng, the magistrate of Xia Jiangning County."

Su Tiancheng saluted to Liu Jingting.

Inside the Jingsi Hall, it quickly quieted down, and Sun Chengzong, Lu Shanji, Huang Daozhou and others, looking at Su Tiancheng, all felt very surprised.

Liu Jingting was caught off guard, he was a common man, a cloth and grass people, when he saw Su Tiancheng, he had to kneel down and salute, but he didn't expect Su Tiancheng to salute him.

Su Tiancheng's prestige, of course, he knows the way, when he was in Hangzhou and Suzhou, he heard a lot of stories about Su Tiancheng, the year of the weak crown, the establishment of the Jiangning Battalion, the three major leaders of the Liukou Zijin Liang, Lao Huihui, and not mud, all died Su Tiancheng and Jiangning Battalion's subordinates, Jiangning Battalion 100 strong men, and after meeting the Houjin Tartars, they all annihilated the Tartars.

Moreover, Su Tiancheng was not afraid of authority, and argued with Qian Qianyi, Huang Daozhou, Zhang Pu and others, and questioned some views of Donglin Academy and Fushe.

Su Tiancheng is not a big talker.

After Liu Jingting came to Nanjing, he made a special trip to Jiangning County for a few days, and looked at the bazaars and villages and towns, and he was surprised by what he saw, and the people of Jiangning County could really be said to have enough food and clothing, and for three consecutive days, he did not see any starvation, and went to a peasant household that everyone recognized as difficult, and found that the grain in the jar was sufficient.

The situation he saw was unexpected, Liu Jingting didn't believe it, but when he went to three villages and towns in a row, he didn't see a single starving person.

When he was in the village, Liu Jingting also met the officials of the county government, when they spoke, their attitude was kind, and they did not ask where Liu Jingting came from, when the officials talked with the farmers, they all had a smile on their faces, and the farmers were also very respectful to the officials, all of which he saw in his eyes.

As for the prosperity of the market in Jiangning County, it goes far beyond Shangyuan County.

It was precisely because he saw all this and learned that the Zhongxing Society was going to be established, Liu Jingting came to participate in the establishment ceremony, and also thought that he could enter the society, but he was still very careful, after all, his identity was a little low.

After experiencing too many blank eyes and suffering too much, Liu Jingting already has enough ability to bear it.

Sun Chengzong, Lu Shanji and Huang Daozhou's fame, how big should it be, people didn't directly reprimand themselves, even if it was good, they came to the Zhongxing Society, thinking about joining the Society, it may be abrupt.

But this time, Su Tiancheng actually saluted himself.

Even if Liu Jingting was arrogant in his heart, he felt that he couldn't bear such a big courtesy.

"Grass people Liu Fengchun, meet Master Su."

Liu Jingting was ready to kneel and salute.

Su Tiancheng grabbed Liu Jingting.

"Today is the day of the establishment of the Zhongxing Society, the Society is famous for its academic discussion, but there is not so much red tape, the Society's emphasis is to do practical things, and to avoid empty talk, Brother Liu does not have to do this great gift."

Liu Jingting's body trembled slightly.

Su Tiancheng pulled Liu Jingting and walked directly in front of Sun Chengzong and the others.

"Lord Sun, Lord Lu, Lord Huang, Brother Liu is here to join the Zhongxing Society today, and the juniors guarantee it, I don't know if it is feasible."

"Hehe, Master Su guarantees, what's the problem, Liu Yunqing, hurry up and go through the procedures for Liu Fengchun to join the company."

The eyes of the people around him who looked at Liu Jingting had changed.

Being able to get Su Tiancheng's personal guarantee, such an honor is not available to ordinary people, Liu Jingting is just a storyteller, Su Tiancheng can put down his value to communicate, this is not simple.

If it is favored by Su Tiancheng, presumably Sun Chengzong and others also pay attention to it, if they can do things well in the Zhongxing Society, and put forward good opinions and suggestions, maybe they can carp jump the dragon gate and become a court official.

At this time, no one paid special attention to Liu Jingting's identity, and everyone thought of the future development.

Liu Jingting went through the procedures for joining the club, followed Su Tiancheng, and when he came to Jingsi Hall again, everyone's attitude completely changed, and they all congratulated Liu Jingting on being able to enter the Zhongxing Society.

Liu Jingting's face turned pale, he had been in a trance, I don't know what Su Tian valued himself so much, and in front of the public, he justified his name, such a great kindness, it is by no means a simple thank you that can be repaid.

Liu Jingting hugged his fists and returned the salute to everyone.

You must know that at this time, those who can sit in the meditation hall are at least the identities of people above the level, and they have been recognized by these people.

Su Tiancheng's thoughts are not exactly the same as everyone else.

Liu Jingting is very famous, known as a commenting artist, put it hundreds of years later, such a person is a big celebrity, besides, Liu Jingting has backbone, born at the bottom, knows the difficulties of life, such a person, if he can be in the Zhongxing Society, a good tempering, he will be able to do things for the people after he takes up the official position of the county.

Taking a step back, even if Liu Jingting is not able to hold an official position, with his storytelling ability, advocating the Zhongxing Society and propagating the ideas of the Society, he can also spread the ideas of the Society to the greatest extent, and the most important thing is that Liu Jingting is aimed at ordinary people, these people are not highly educated, and only through this kind of form can they know the thoughts and concepts of the imperial court.
