Huang Daozhou was ready to leave Nanjing, and went directly back to his hometown, Zhangpu, Fujian, the distance was still a little far, he felt a deep disappointment, he couldn't imagine that the world was changing so quickly, and his friends for many years were also planted in the halo of power.

It's autumn season.

Located on the wharf in Jiangning County, people come and go, and the changes here are very big, bustling crowds, cargo ships that keep coming here, pushing mountains of goods, busy porters, and countless small shops.

Everything seems to be in order, there is no sense of chaos, there seems to be a machine, running at high speed, maintaining order here.

The area around the wharf used to be relatively barren, but in less than a year, houses have been erected everywhere, and shops and shops have been everywhere.

Huang Daozhou, who rarely came here, was attracted by the scene in front of him, he slowly walked around the dock, feeling the changes, all this seemed unreal, when he resigned and returned, the dilapidated dock left a deep impression on him.

Changes in the wharf in Jiangning County, he once heard that the officials of the city shipping department, most of them are people from the county government of Jiangning County, all kinds of taxes, collected in strict accordance with the regulations, no one can be special, relatively speaking, as long as you pay the taxes in accordance with the rules, no one wants to think about looking for trouble, if you think about blackmailing businessmen, they were discovered by the sergeants of the Jiangning battalion, and the end is very miserable.

Most of the coolies at the wharf are farmers from other counties, because the income on the wharf is good and they can support their families, so they have taken root here, although they have no arable land. But with the income from moving goods, it is enough to eat.

After contacting a boat, Huang Daozhou was ready to go up, and there was nothing left to be nostalgic about here.

"Lord Huang, I'm ready to leave Nanjing like this."

"Master Su, why did you get here?"

looked at Su Tiancheng in front of him. Huang Daozhou was surprised, he thought that he had seen it wrong, Su Tiancheng actually came here.

"I'm here to wait for Lord Huang."

"Don't dare, Master Su is busy with official business, and there are a lot of things, I can't afford it."

"Lord Huang, don't say that, I know a little about Donglin Academy and the Restoration Society. If Lord Huang thinks that there is nothing to say between him and me, then I will send Lord Huang off, and I will be responsible for the expenses along the way. ”

Seeing the sergeant behind Su Tiancheng, Huang Daozhou understood that if he was ready to go back. These sergeants, probably the ones who were in charge of escorting along the way. I didn't expect Su Tiancheng to be so careful. He was a little moved.

The Yamen of the City Division.

Huang Daozhou and Su Tiancheng entered a room, no one disturbed here, and after closing the door, it seemed very quiet, and a door blocked the noise outside.

Moved is moved, Zodiac Zhou has his own understanding. He may not completely agree with the views advocated by Su Tiancheng, but in any case, he believes that some of the views put forward by Donglin Academy and Fushe are still correct.

"Lord Huang. Would you like to consider staying? ”

"I've been away from my hometown for a long time, and I want to go back and have a look, if I have the opportunity, I will definitely come to Jiangning County and visit Master Su again."

"Hehe, that's good, I'm also ready to find an opportunity to go to the capital, Donglin Academy and the Fu Society, the influence of the people is very great, I have considered, whether to learn from this form, but also set up a society, this society, must be approved by the emperor and the imperial court, I think, the establishment of the society is very necessary, to be able to absorb scholars, to spread the policies of the government, to make many gentry and wealthy households, ordinary people understand and support the government. Nanzhili is a place where scholars are concentrated, and many scholars may not be able to enter the court as officials, but they have good ideas, and they can gather their ideas and use them for the imperial court, which is also a platform for them to display their ambitions. ”

"What, Master Su, how could you have such an idea."

"This is also forced out, Donglin Academy and the Restoration Society, many of the views advocated, in fact, are correct, is worth learning, but unfortunately at the beginning of their establishment, in terms of purpose, there are some flaws, at the beginning of the eunuch dictatorship, they are all thinking about fighting against the eunuch party, the nature of this struggle, has been continued, not too much change, the most prominent aspect of the performance, is desperately to maintain their own views and understanding, not allowed to appear other voices, plus they advocate a clear stream of thought, will their own position, put it too high, if it goes on like this, it will be difficult to make a big difference. Whether it is academic discussion or policy formulation, we must follow the law of a hundred schools of thought contending and a hundred flowers blooming, and once the policy is clear, it can be resolutely implemented. ”

"I think that there is no completely correct policy, and there is no absolute truth, that is, the hadith of the ancients, as time goes by, it also needs to be explained and supplemented in a timely manner.

Huang Daozhou couldn't help nodding, after going through so many things, he felt that the words Su Tiancheng said were really convincing, and if the society was established, it would definitely have a great impact.

According to my understanding, academic research is one aspect, and any academic achievements must be implemented in practice.

"I will directly suggest to the emperor, today's world, there are many troubles, my Ming Dynasty is in the middle of the storm, this road of change, is also two aspects, the court civil and military officials do their best, for the benefit of the people, just one aspect, listen to the voices of scholars and ordinary people, see what they think, listen to the voice of the people, and implement wise policies, is another aspect that is indispensable."

When Su Tiancheng said this, Huang Daozhou couldn't help it.

"Master Su, I'm afraid that this idea of yours will be a little difficult to implement."

"What Lord Huang means, I understand, so I want to go directly to the admonition, I must say that the emperor, this society, must be established, don't underestimate the role of the society, all dynasties, pay attention to the scholarly temperament, the court must use the strength of this force, the wind is sailing, chopping waves, the court needs positive guidance, the emperor must have such a bearing, the world's scholars, all want to show their own ability, regardless of their specific means, whether it is correct or not, the sea is inclusive, there is tolerance, the wall is thousands of miles, If the emperor is sincere and agrees to the establishment of such a society, it will have an unexpected effect. ”

Huang Daozhou's hands trembled a little, what he has been pursuing is such a purpose, asking the emperor to admonish, originally thought that Su Tiancheng would not forcibly admonish, but he didn't expect that in this matter, Su Tiancheng was also a heart.

"So good, so good, I'm waiting for the good news from Lord Su."

"Lord Huang said slowly, the establishment of this society, there are still too many things to do, the leader of this society, must be highly respected, otherwise the world's scholars, how can they be convinced, and the leaders of the society, to have an extraordinary quality, not indifferent to the ambition, non-quiet and far-reaching, never be able to be arrogant, once you get the support of everyone, you will get carried away, just want to intervene in the government, as if what you say, is the truth, others must support, to do so, That's definitely not going to work. ”

Huang Daozhou's face was a little red, and he vaguely understood what Su Tiancheng meant.

"Master Su, you made a special trip to find me, did you want me to go to this society?"

"Yes, this time I went to the capital, and I was ready to implore the emperor to allow Lord Sun Chengzong to go out of the mountain, and the leaders of the society are Lord Sun Chengzong and Lord Huang."

Huang Daozhou suddenly stood up.

"It turns out that Master Su is going to invite Master Sun out of the mountain, it's not simple, it's really not simple, Lord Sun's prestige is needless to say, I don't dare to be as famous as Lord Sun, and I am willing to be Lord Sun's assistant."

Huang Daozhou was excited, took the initiative to speak out, and accepted Su Tiancheng's invitation, which also prevented Su Tiancheng from continuing to speak.

Of course, there is a premise in this, that is, Sun Chengzong is out of the mountain.

In this regard, Su Tiancheng has sufficient self-confidence.

"Lord Huang should go back for a while, prepare a little, all the expenses on this road, naturally the county government of Jiangning County is responsible, these sergeants of the Jiangning battalion, follow Lord Huang back to his hometown, protect Lord Huang along the way, according to my expectations, the time when the society was established should be before the Spring Festival, I do things like this, I don't want to delay, since I think of it, I must do it immediately, otherwise the food will not be pleasant."

"Okay, I'll follow Master Su's arrangement, go back to my hometown to have a look, and I'll come to Jiangning County soon."

After personally sending Huang Daozhou on the boat, Su Tiancheng did not leave for a long time.

The importance of the society, he is already very clear, Donglin Academy and the Fushe are going to do a series of actions, he doesn't care, Zhang Pu and others, for the time being, can't help himself, because the cabinet chief assistant Wen Tiren is not used to Zhang Pu, and will never support the Donglin Party and the Fushe, and Fan Jingwen, the secretary of the Nanjing Military Department, is not interested in Zhang Pu and Qian Qianyi and others, let alone supports the Donglin Party and the Fushe, it can be said that Zhang Pu and Qian Qianyi and others cannot get any support in the officialdom, and the scholars rebel and fail for three years. As long as there is no penetration of official forces, they will not be able to become an atmosphere.

On the contrary, the society that I am going to set up is official in nature, and it is too easy to prosper. (To be continued.) )
