Su Song Governor Yamen signed the detention room.

Now it was Gui Youguang's turn to be moved, and he lost his voice and said, "My lord, why do you bother? ”

"If I think about myself, I should undoubtedly listen to you," Shen Mo turned his head, and the two sides leaned on the windowsill, looking at the blue sky outside, and a few larks streaking across the sky, as if to say to Gui Youguang, and as if to convince himself: "But I can't be so selfish...... When I first came to Suzhou, I made an oath to you, saying that I would either not open up the stall in Suzhou, or I would take care of it to the end, and I would never let go halfway and let you fend for yourself. Yesterday's words, the sound is still in my ears, I can't regret it! ”

"Although I used Zhaojin Cicada to get out of my shell and moved the key departments such as the exchange and the auction house to Shanghai City, but my arms can't reach my thighs, and those private guilds still can't resist the government. Shen Mo sighed and said, "So I have to find a way to find an Austrian aid for him, so that Yan Maoqing doesn't dare to mess around." ”

"But even if you want to protect Suzhou and protect the city, you don't need to hit a stone with an egg!" Gui Youguang said a little anxiously: "Calm down, my lord." ”

"I'm calm." Shen Mo stretched out his hand to close the window, and said softly: "I know the consequences of what you said, if there is another way, I will definitely not do this," said and shook his head: "But unfortunately, I have no choice!" ”

"Okay, take 10,000 steps back and say, is it useful to do that?" Gui Youguang asked: "Do you think that by giving Yangming a public ancestral hall and writing a sacrificial text, you can make the people of Wang Xuemen in the world regard you as the lord of Zhongxing, and all of them are only your horse heads?" He also said in an accentuated tone: "Impossible! The master of Wang Xue's Zhongxing is Xu Jie! You can't grab it. ”

Shen Mo smiled: "Of course I know. Then he shook his head and said: "Zhenchuan is a scholar, a scholar, and a treacherous way about the art of war, but in fact, the trick I use is called 'Wind and Crane'." ”

"What's the news?" There is a path of light.

"To tell you the truth, I gave the Yangming Public Ancestral Hall to fool some people." Shen Mo asked softly, "Tell me, what do you think of me?" ”

"This, of course it's good......" Gui Youguang said with a smile.

"Tell the truth!" Shen Mo said angrily: "I'm still a little self-aware, don't talk about the advantages, I know that I have a lot of advantages, just talk about the shortcomings." ”

"What's the shortcoming," Gui Youguang whispered: "If you insist on saying it, maybe everyone thinks that you are more straightforward in doing things for others and never offend people." Said with a smile: "But I think this is an advantage...... "Finding fault with the boss in person, it definitely takes a big heart."

Shen Mo said lightly: "Yuantong? Can it be understood that he is good at pursuing advantages and avoiding disadvantages? ”

"Of course," Gui Youguang nodded.

"Then do you believe that such a person would dare to give Yan Ge Lao eye medicine for the first place in the world?" Shen Mo sneered.

"I don't believe ......," Gui Youguang shook his head slowly.

"But what if I did?" Shen Mo asked, "Do you think that someone is behind it?" ”

"Eighty percent would think so." Gui Youguang finally understood a little: "Zhongcheng, you don't want to frame it, right?" ”

"Clever." Shen Mo smiled and said, "That's exactly what I meant." ”

"You want to make Elder Yan Ge think that Elder Xu Ge instructed you to do this?" Gui Youguang asked in a low voice.

"Since Xu Ge Lao is the master of Zhongxing who has high hopes for Wang Xuemen," Shen Mo smiled slyly: "After so many years, it is reasonable to give Yangming a public ancestral hall, right?" ”

"But if Elder Yan Ge also thinks so, he will definitely see it as Elder Xu Ge's challenge to him......" Gui Youguang smiled bitterly: "Your trick...... It's for fear that the world won't be chaotic. ”

"The Yan Party and the Xu Party have been fighting for so many years, and they always have to go to war," Shen Mo said with a smile: "I just made it break out in advance, and it was a good thing to fight early and be peaceful early." ”

"Elder Xu Ge doesn't think so." Gui Youguang shook his head and smiled: "With your calculation, he will be passive." ”

"Whatever," said Shen Mo with a smile: "Who let his mother and his son trouble me when they were old, and now it is natural for the mother and son to repay their debts." ”

After listening to Shen Mo's words, Gui Youguang couldn't help but shudder secretly, and said in his heart that this guy really holds a grudge, so many years of Chen Guzi and rotten sesame still remember.

"Don't laugh at it," said silently: "The ancestral hall of Yang Ming Gong is erected, in the eyes of the world, even if it is not Xu Ge Lao who instructed me to do it, it is also my understanding of the will, and it is built to tie up Xu Ge Lao." Speaking of this, I couldn't help laughing at myself: "I'm used to playing Taijiquan, and occasionally I take a stand, and no one believes that I am a pure master, and I don't know whether to be happy or sigh." ”

Gui Youguang could only smile wordlessly, and listened to Shen Mo decompose: "In the eyes of the strict party members, I have become the vanguard of Xu Ge Lao, and if they want to attack me, they have to estimate Xu Ge Lao's energy...... It is said that in the past few years, Yan Ge Lao has become more and more old and dizzy, and His Majesty likes to find Xu Ge Lao when he has something, not Yan Ge Lao. And in Xu Gelao's place, not to mention how many benefits I have given his family over the years, just saying that I dare to overturn the case for Yang Minggong, he must protect me. ”

"Really?" Gui Youguang asked softly.

"Of course, there is no such thing as a lunch without money." He nodded silently and said, "Relying on the banner of 'Lord of Wang Xuezhongxing', he has gathered a group of elites and established his own power, which is enough to compete with the Yan Party." It is no exaggeration to say that Wang Xue has achieved Xu Jie. Said with a sneer: "As far as I know, the people of Wang Xuemen in the north and south, I don't know how many times they have asked him to try to legitimize Wang Xue, but Xu Jiedu resigned on the grounds that the time has not yet come-I set up the ancestral hall in Suzhou City, in the eyes of Wang Xuemen, this is a step to decide the surname, and I have become a symbol from a person, representing the struggle of Wang Xuemen for legalization." ”

Gui Youguang said suddenly: "So no matter whether it is from Xu Ge Lao at this time or not, as a representative of Wang Xue, he has to do his best to protect Zhongcheng, otherwise the people's hearts will be scattered, and the team will not be easy to lead." ”

"Completely correct," Shen Mo stroked his palms and smiled: "Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if Xu Jie doesn't care about me, those Wang Xuemen people who are all over the court will stand up to support me, as far as I know, among the officials of the Kedao Yan, the proportion of Wang Xuemen people can reach sixty percent, and no one dares to face this force." He said firmly: "So Xu Jie will definitely take care of me - even if he has a disagreement with Yan Ge, he can't risk losing his party members." ”

"But Xu Ge Lao's feelings, have you considered it?" Gui Youguang worried: "You can't fool him, will it cause disgust?" ”

"I can't care about that much." Shen Mo shook his head and said: "I'd rather offend a gentleman than a villain, Xu Ge is still a gentleman, so he shouldn't treat me like this." ”

Seeing that Shen Mo's mind had been decided, Gui Youguang stopped persuading and sighed faintly: "I wonder if those who are protected by you will one day experience your sacrifice." ”

"Maybe never," Shen Mo smiled indifferently, "as long as I can help them get through this hurdle, I'll be satisfied." ”

In fact, in addition to the utilitarian purpose of short-term emergency, silence has more far-reaching ideas...... Through the study of Wang Xue over the years, he found that many of these ideas are extremely progressive and instructive, and if used properly, they can be turned into a sharp weapon to end Cheng Zhu Lixue, and even shake the monarch who is the root of all evil[***].

Of course, whether it is the former or the latter, it is difficult to compare with the sky at present, but people are not afraid of hopelessness, they are afraid of complete despair. Alone in the face of the vast dark night, he is silent and does not hope to light up the whole sky, he only hopes to protect this spark and help it develop and grow, believing that there will always be a spark that can ignite the prairie one day.

Of course, Wang Xue himself also has many problems, and he has spent several years of his free time studying and improving, hoping to create a school of his own, abandoning pure talk and retreat, respecting people's surnames, liberating people's surnames, and so on. He is still struggling to recall the ideas of Voltaire, Montesquieu, and Rousseau when he was in middle school, and see if he can learn from them and enrich his own doctrine.

Don't think about it, this is a very huge project, I don't know that the year of the monkey can be completed, I have learned the silence of co-ordination, and naturally I know that I can't 'prick my ears and eyes before I get on the sedan chair', he has to do enough foreplay first, and wait for the theory to come out and launch it to have an effect.

The so-called foreplay, on the one hand, is to improve their academic status, as for this, there is no other way, you have to rely on an article, a lecture accumulation, of course, if you can write a popular article, or a few tripods and so on, the popularity will grow by leaps and bounds.

Fortunately, Shen Mo has always studied more solidly, and he basically memorized the ancient texts before high school, although he was born in the Ming Dynasty, he couldn't plagiarize the original songs of Tang and Song poems, which made him regret it, but fortunately, he was born earlier than Li Yu and Yuan Mei, so he had to be wronged that they would become famous by other articles in the future.

In terms of lecturing, he was fortunate to be born in Zhejiang and was an official in Suzhou, so after winning the championship, he was very famous in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, where humanities gathered, and many scholars came to Suzhou to study, and there were more than 3,000 people this year. Under the pretense of public welfare, he generously paid for each student's room and board with public funds, and also gave different amounts of subsidies every month according to his academic performance...... For this alone, Suzhou City spends more than 800,000 taels of silver every year, although a considerable part of it is digested by the 'gentry who are enthusiastic about education', but in the end it falls on the account of the government, there are also 300,000 or 400,000 taels.

Among his students, there are Xu Shixing, Wang Xijue and others in Suzhou; There are Luo Wanhua, Zhang Yuanchen and others in Zhejiang, all of whom are very promising to rank in the Sanding Jia, and there are many people who can be in the Jinshi, but they still have to rely on personal creation.

As for the other aspect of foreplay, it is to create momentum for Wang Xue, just like the market economics he learned in his previous life, he must first make the market of 'Wang Xue' bigger, and then launch differentiated products, so that no one will buy it;

Therefore, Shen Mo was extremely concerned about the construction of Wang Yangming Temple, and asked from the beginning of the site selection, and after repeated consideration, he chose the final address from dozens of candidates - the most famous Jiangnan Academy in the Susong area! It's also where his students work hard.

Jiangnan Academy is next to the bridge and water, and Xu Gate across the river, the ink fragrance is spontaneous, and only this kind of place with the most prosperous cultural context can be worthy of the status of Yang Ming Gong in the future, and can also cultivate feng shui, so that his disciples and grandchildren can get a good result in the exam...... Ever since he sat at an exam table with Yang Minggong back then, he believed in this sage brother very much.

As the saying goes, 'those who believe in the sun have high school', this concept must be publicized a lot.

After the site selection, it is the design, silently invited the famous teachers in the south of the Yangtze River, coerced and induced them to break the bad habits, and jointly designed the sketch of the Yangming Temple - a courtyard house covering an area of three acres, which was built according to the situation of the mountain, sitting east and facing west. To the east is Xiangtang, which occupies the highest level of the territory; Opposite the hall, the lowest level of terrain is the Zhengqi Pavilion; The north and south wings are built along the wall.

As for the regulatory details of the building, where there are a few doors, where there are a few wings, where there are carved grasses, where there are moire, all strive for perfection, and strive for architectural perfection, profound meaning, and cultural connotation, so that people of any status can not find fault.

As for the furnishings inside, from the flower panes, pen and ink inkstones, to the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, landscape and bonsai, all are fresh and engraved, dignified and elegant, but where the style is echoed, it does not matter the cost, just get it.

But when it comes to the same decoration, Shen Mo doesn't dare to make his own decisions even if he has money, that is, the statue of Mr. Yang Ming placed on the altar of the Xiangtang Shrine, which is not something that he can decide as a junior of Wang Xue...... Of course, if he has to keep quiet and make one himself, no one can do anything, but that kind of influence is much smaller, which is not in line with the purpose of building an ancestral hall.

So, he spread the peach forest stickers extensively, and invited the kings and elders of all factions in the north and south to gather in Suzhou City to appreciate such important events. This pair of old guys who have been suppressed for a long time has a transcendent attraction, and in less than a month, they have already reached the end of the group. Even if Lu Yuan couldn't catch up, he sent disciples who were officials in Jiangsu and Zhejiang to participate, and they should all be filled...... Because everyone takes Yang Minggong as the ancestor, no one dares to miss this opportunity to fulfill filial piety.

Among them, the famous ones are, Wang Ji and Ji Ben of the leftists in central Zhejiang, as a silent grandfather, of course the two old men will come to support him.

There is also Wang Xiang, the son of Wang Gen, the founder of the Taizhou School and the current head of the Taizhou School, which is the most powerful faction in the world and the most powerful supporter of Xu Jie.

and the Jiangyou School from which Xu Jie's was born, the representative who came turned out to be Xu Jie's teacher Nie Bao, who was just a year ago, was actually on the way back to his hometown, and he happened to come to Suzhou City to join in the fun, but he didn't think about it deeply...... His beloved disciple was thus represented.

There are also the Southern Middle School, the Guangdong-Min School, the Chuzhong Wangmen, and the Northern Wangmen.

The seven factions of Wang Xue gathered together, this is an unprecedented prosperous era! Thinking about the pleasure boat on Jianhu Lake, you know that if it weren't for the silent closure of Su Song, Wang Xuemen regarded it as his own world, and these guys who were used to sneaking around would not have come to this place.

What surprised them the most was that Shen Mo also invited Wang Yangming's nephew Wang Zhengsi, although he was only a middle-aged person, his identity was there, like a red cherry on a cake, and only with him could this grand ceremony be more reasonable.

Gui Youguang himself is also a very famous Wang Xuemen, he thought that this would be a victorious conference, a united conference, but after inviting all the immortals, he found that it was impossible, because these people got together and only did one thing, that is, quarreling, no matter which party's proposal, there will always be a few parties who oppose it, noisy and noisy for a month, and the fart results have not been discussed, the only result is that they ate and drank silence for nothing.

Sage Yun: Although the wealth is rich, money is not such a way to spend. Gui Youguang said distressedly: "My lord, I don't feel sorry for spending money, but it would be a waste to do useless work like this." ”

"It's a waste." Looking at the long list of expenses, Shen Mo smiled bitterly and said, "Okay, you don't have to pay this account, I'll pay it out of my own pocket." ”

"I didn't mean that, this money, Suzhou Mansion can still afford it, how can adults pay for it." Gui Youguang said continuously: "I just said, there is no result at all, it is so noisy all day long, don't delay the big things of adults." ”

"It's okay, let them quarrel, anyway, the ancestral hall hasn't been built yet." Shen Mo smiled.

"You're so good-tempered." Now it was Gui Youguang's turn to smile bitterly, and he pointed to the north and said, "There is still a month at most, and Yan Maoqing is coming." ”

"Don't worry, the statue of Yang Ming Gong, I have discussed and decided with Longxi Gong and Changsha Gong, and now it has been carved seven times." Shen Mo couldn't bear it, he was so anxious that his mouth was full of foam, and finally said through to the bottom: "Now you are relieved, right?" ”

"Ah......" Gui Youguang opened his mouth wide, not knowing what kind of medicine Shen Mo was selling.
