The establishment of Zhongxing Society is December 1.

Before this, there were already a lot of things that happened in Jiangning County, including the arrest of Zhang Pu, although Sun Chengzong, Lu Shanji, Huang Daozhou and other three people continued to explain the situation, but after all, the scope is limited, and there are still some students who do not know the specific situation of Lu Dao and have a bad opinion of Zhongxing Society.

All these things and discussions, it is impossible to delay the establishment of the Zhongxing Society.

The ceremony of establishment is still in accordance with the original plan.

The officials who participated in the inauguration ceremony of the Zhongxing Society were all unusual.

The secretary of the Nanjing Military Department, the governor of Zhejiang, and the military affairs counselor Fan Jingwen, the eunuch Qin Sande, the garrison minister Zhang Yuning, and the Ying Tianfu Yin Wang Daozhi and others all participated in the inauguration ceremony of the Zhongxing Society.

Such a grand occasion is exactly what Su Tiancheng needs.

No matter what kind of accident there is, the inauguration ceremony of the Zhongxing Society cannot be delayed, not only because of the reputation of Sun Chengzong, Lu Shanji and Huang Dao Zhou, but also for the future development of the Ming Dynasty.

The influence of Donglin Academy and Fushe is extraordinary, to put it mildly, Sun Chengzong and others have been affected by some influences, Su Tiancheng thought of a lot of ways, and reluctantly changed everyone's minds, but the education of Confucianism is deep-rooted, and the changes that need to be made in some aspects are not overnight, but can only be in the middle of daily research, relying on facts to speak, so Su Tiancheng still has a lot of things that need to be implemented.

The biggest change is still Liu Yunqing.

As one of the four sons of Donglin, he broke away from Donglin Academy and defected to Su Tiancheng, he was under great pressure, but for so long. Following Su Tiancheng, he also learned a lot of things, especially the concept of doing practical things, during the period when he was a staff member in the county government, he was surprised to find out when he came into contact with everyone. Including Lu Tianming, Liu Zhongji and others, their attitude towards doing things has also changed significantly, and everyone has a clear goal and works together, the focus is to make the people of Jiangning County rich.

After all, he is a scholar, and Liu Yunqing's biggest ideal is to take the imperial examination and raise people. Zhongjinshi, therefore, the relationship between him and Liu Zhongji is relatively close, and both of them have the same task, that is, to take the imperial examination.

In his spare time, he is also worried about his future, and the influence of Donglin Academy is great. As a scholar who has left Donglin Academy, in the middle of the future imperial examination. Whether it will be excluded or not is also uncertain.

But such worries can only be buried in the heart, and cannot be revealed in the slightest.

The arrival of Sun Chengzong, Lu Shanji and Huang Daozhou made him ecstatic, and the Zhongxing Society was about to be established. It is also he who is mainly responsible for the day-to-day work.

The influence of Sun Chengzong and others, needless to say, follow them to do things, you can get too much learning, and among the scholars. It's also a matter of time before you get ahead.

During this time, he followed Sun Chengzong and others, talked with the gentry and scholars who came to visit, and occasionally interjected, saying his own understanding, everyone had some arguments with each other, but the atmosphere was very good, Sun Chengzong and others, although they were old, never pressed people with qualifications.

The special feature of Zhongxing Society is that it has a very close connection with the government.

After hearing Su Tiancheng talk about the purpose of the society, Liu Yunqing was very surprised, and he couldn't imagine that the society could directly recommend talents to the emperor and the cabinet, and anyone who could go deep into the fields and among the people, listen to their voices, and put forward reasonable suggestions would be paid special attention.

This style of doing things that grasps the situation of the people and understands the weal and woe of the people is very rare.

Su Tiancheng had a serious conversation with him, specifically talking about the relevant things of the Zhongxing Society, and also made it very clear that the task of the Zhongxing Society is to unite the world's scholars to the greatest extent, better interpret Confucianism, speak with facts, and advocate that scholars do practical things and avoid empty talk.

Liu Yunqing understands that the Zhongxing Society, to a certain extent, will squeeze out the Donglin Academy and the Restoration Society, and in the future, it is very likely to annex the Donglin Academy and the Restoration Society.

He secretly admired Su Tiancheng.

People did not use coercive means, not to use force to suppress Donglin Academy and the Restoration Society, and established the Zhongxing Society to convince people and let the scholars unite around the imperial court.

After fully understanding the ideological connotation of the Zhongxing Society, Liu Yunqing devoted himself to the preparatory work of the Society.

December 1.

At that time, the vicinity of the county school was already full of people, many of whom were gentry and gentlemen, who came early, not only the scholars from Jiangning County, but also many scholars from other places, and even many scholars from the north came all the way.

Sun Chengzong, Lu Shanji, Huang Daozhou and others have long been prepared, and the Zhongxing Society was officially established today.

The plaque with the emperor's inscription has long been framed, and it was officially unveiled at the end of the hour.

The Zhongxing Society was established, and the ceremony was not very complicated.

Huang Daozhou presided over the ceremony, Fan Jingwen was entrusted by the emperor, on behalf of the imperial court, first spoke, congratulating the establishment of the Zhongxing Society, followed by Yin Wang Daozhi of Ying Tianfu Mansion, congratulating on behalf of Ying Tianfu, and then Sun Chengzong spoke.

After the ceremony, the Zhongxing Society officially began to operate.

That is, from the moment of its establishment, the Zhongxing Society officially began to absorb members.

Su Tiancheng could not speak.

In fact, the establishment of the Zhongxing Society, he is the driving force behind the scenes, and is also the actual boss, most of the expenses of the Zhongxing Society, are the responsibility of the county government of Jiangning County, this silver, it is impossible to take it out in vain, it always has to produce benefits.

Sun Chengzong's meaning asked Su Tiancheng to speak, but Su Tiancheng politely refused.

He is just the magistrate of Jiangning County, and his rank is not high, speaking on such an occasion seems a little out of place, Fan Jingwen is a court official of the second grade, Wang Daozhi is a court official of the third grade, as for Sun Chengzong, not to mention, these three people can show the taste of the Zhongxing Society, which is not ordinary.

Besides, Su Tiancheng is not the kind of person who likes to be in the limelight.

But all the things of Zhongxing Society, Su Tiancheng is very concerned.

He has talked with Sun Chengzong, Lu Shanji, Huang Daozhou and others many times, involving many specific things of the Zhongxing Society, such as the members of the Society, go below to investigate the situation, grasp the people's feelings, whether they should be given a certain amount of subsidies, and if they put forward very good opinions and suggestions, how should they be treated.

The way Zhongxing Society operates is also somewhat unique.

Within the society, debate is allowed, but once the debate is initiated, after the final point of view and understanding is unified, there can be no noise, and the members can retain their own understanding, but can not continue to advocate.

At the beginning of the establishment of the Zhongxing Society, it was mainly to recommend grassroots officials, such as magistrates, county officials, lords and historians, and other official positions, not to involve too high official positions, the road to go step by step, so ambitious things, can not be done.

The main point of view of the society is that it cannot talk in vain, and refuses to be a clear stream of rhetoric.

In the face of such a brand-new model, Sun Chengzong and others also need a certain amount of time to adapt, and there are also a lot of debates between them and Su Tiancheng, such as the view on the retro of the Zun Jing, and everyone has differences.

Sun Chengzong, Lu Shanji and Huang Daozhou, in principle, are in favor of respecting the retro, in view of the purpose put forward by the Fushe, the future formulation can be changed, and such a point of view, is also accepted by the vast majority of readers, Su Tiancheng's views are different, he proposed, what is the purpose of respecting the retro scriptures, is to require readers to return to the past era, blindly to remember the ancients, this is certainly inappropriate, the vision of readers, should focus on the future, that is, to see the future, so, Zhongxing Society does not deny the retro mention of the classics, but it also does not advocate such a view, the ideas of the ancients, today's people can be used, can be used for their own use, the advantageous is to insist, the unfavorable is to abandon, in short, everything depends on the facts to speak.

Su Tiancheng also specifically mentioned the example of Jiangning County, if it is according to the practice of respecting the scriptures, Jiangning County does not have the current situation, everything is in accordance with the rules of the ancestors, without the slightest innovation, where can the income of the government be increased.

Although Su Tiancheng made such an explanation, Sun Chengzong and others, in terms of understanding, still insisted on their own understanding.

Su Tiancheng did not force everyone to accept it, it takes time, after all, the imperial examination of the Ming Dynasty is all four books and five classics, and scholars receive education in Confucianism when they are young, and you may ask for trouble if you suddenly deny the retro idea of respecting the scriptures.

Chenshi.

With the deafening sound of firecrackers, Fan Jingwen, Wang Daozhi, Qin Sande, Zhang Taining, Sun Chengzong, Lu Shanji, Huang Daozhou and others stepped onto the temporary rostrum.

Huang Daozhou's face was full of red light, and he presided over the inauguration ceremony of the Zhongxing Society, which in his opinion was a great honor.

In this, Su Tiancheng can't be seen.

There were a lot of people who participated in the ceremony, and the huge courtyard was densely packed with people, most of whom were ready to sign up directly and become members of the Zhongxing Society after its establishment.

There are also people from Donglin Academy and the Restoration Society who came to attend this ceremony, and as for what these people think, the ghost knows what to say.

Su Tiancheng stood at the bottom of the rostrum, and Lu Tianming, Qu Qingze, Liu Zhongji, Liu Yunqing and others stood next to him.

There were so many people that no one paid special attention to them.

But Su Tiancheng noticed the people who participated in the ceremony, Huang Tingping, Yi Ligao and Zou Pingzhang came, and the strangest thing was that Tang Haitai also came, I don't know what it means that these people came to attend the ceremony.

The attitude of Donglin Academy and the Restoration Society is definitely not good, especially the leader of the Restoration Society, Zhang Pu, was arrested and escorted to the capital. (To be continued.) )
