When the wonderful debate was over, most of the crowd dispersed, after all, as a staff member, they still had to set up the venue, and most of the people who were still around Arue were visitors like Zhong Ming, who came here or had some purpose, and among these people, Zhong Ming had an advantage, that is, his fierce appearance attracted attention.

There is nothing to be proud of attracting an elegant person to ask questions of the Enlightenment, after all, they are studious, but it is a great honor to make a fierce and vicious gangster willing to ask humbly, so after talking to a few people with a strong background in recommenders, Arue named Zhong Ming.

And Arue really doesn't remember Zhong Ming, you must know that although Zhong Ming has so many names in Pei Siqi, it is in a wild place far away for the locals, not to mention that Zhong Ming and Arue met once 12 years ago - Zhong Ming was still watching Arue from the audience.

However, after Zhong Ming took out his outstanding student graduation certificate and said that he was the audience in the speech that Arue was most proud of, Arue's face softened a lot when he looked at Zhong Ming.

Then in a brief conversation between the two, Zhong Ming's tough and capable style made Arue look very pleasing to the eye, because rational enlightenment advocates doing practical things, Zhong Ming obviously fits this category, plus Zhong Ming deliberately picked Arue's favorite words, so the two who got along happily exchanged communication methods with each other.

In a brief chat, Zhong Ming also learned the reason for the convening of this "Rational Movement Judgment Conference", as its name suggests, adjudication.

In the past ten years, with the popularity of the "Rational Enlightenment" in full swing in Sibber, it has attracted more and more nobles and citizens to join this movement, and it has also had brilliant results. It's just that as each organization grows bigger, all kinds of problems and disagreements will arise, and as the "Rational Enlightenment" grows stronger, this problem also appears

The participants who joined the "Enlightenment of Reason" often called themselves "Enlightenmentists", and there were young aristocrats and citizens in each of the main cities who followed in the footsteps of Arué and founded the Enlightenment Club in their own city, following the example of Aroué who founded the Enlightenment Club in Dima

However, Sibo is so big, it can be said that it is the largest country in southern Xinjiang, although most of the enlightenment clubs are only opened in the mainland, but this number has cumulated, and there are a lot of enlightenment clubs, plus more than ten years of development, the enlightenment club has almost done one in every big city.

If the Enlightenment Club were a political party, it would have been a great thing, and Arue was to be recruited into the palace to entertain him.

However, the Enlightenment Club was not, and most of the Enlightenment activists were anti-traditional, more radical than Pilate, who proposed a rational retro more than 300 years ago, so there was no head between the clubs, that is, "we don't need 'representatives' to represent us".

In fact, in Leng Yi's view, this is mainly due to the fact that there are five or six people among the various Enlightenment ists, and no one looks down on anyone, and there are many differences within the same club, let alone electing a person to represent the club, or twisting all the Enlightenment clubs into one force.

As a result, although Arue has the honorary title of the initiator of the "Rational Enlightenment" and is recognized as an advocate of all Enlightenmentists, Aroue cannot thus transform this honorary title into a political force, and Aroue does not seem to care about this, and seems to be content with only criticizing current politics through writing.

In this way, the only way to connect the various enlightenment clubs is for Arue himself to pick a time every year to invite the top figures in each club to get together and summarize with each other what his club has done last year and what contributions it has made to human civilization.

Don't laugh, many Enlightenment people really think so, they think that they write for the well-being of all mankind, although there is no actual contribution, but the so-called "intellectual contribution is ten thousand times greater than material contribution".

Seriously, Leng Yi has also read the articles written by this group of people in the past few years, and some of the articles are indeed well written, such as Arue and others, but there are also some so-called articles, which are just Enlightenmentists blowing water between each other, which also reflects the current situation of the Enlightenment, good and bad.

This year's gathering is based on past meetings, but with a special twist, this one is no longer just blowing water but is adding the purpose of bridging differences.

As an Enlightenment and a great Sibber, Arue would change the venue every year when he held a meeting, and he said that he wanted to feel the great rivers and mountains of the motherland and go to every corner, so this year it was the turn of the Yashiyi to exist in the city of Sib.

But again, in Leng Yi's view, this is just a balancing act, and the Enlightenment is opposed to dictatorship, and the long-term meeting in one place, trying to make one club rise above the others, inadvertently leads to this problem—at least the Enlightenment thinks it will lead to it, so each city takes turns.

So what was the disagreement between the clubs? Originally, the Enlightenment attacked the same object of criticism, "ignorance", "barbarism", especially the dark style inherited from the "Middle Ages", for which they wrote poems and articles, mocked these bad things in various ways, and attacked the "Middle Ages" through words.

But the criticism and criticism were carried out, and the Arue cadres and others found that something was wrong, and some of the Enlightenment turned their fire and turned the targets of the attacks into factories, new citizens, etc., feeling that today's society is not as good as it used to be in some aspects, such as the Poor Law and so on.

Beginning last year, the two factions of Enlightenment scolded each other in the newspapers, and the war lasted for more than half a year.

In the end, it was Arué who used the title of Enlightenment advocate as a coercion, and wrote letters to mend relations one by one, so that the war was temporarily suppressed, and so there was today's meeting to reconcile the relationship between the two sides and establish a common program for all clubs.

Zhong Ming is quite unoptimistic about Arue's plan, Zhong Ming, who came out of the slave hunting province, believes that the only way to make others calm down and listen to you is to use physical means, and Arue obviously does not intend to use physical means, but to use oral arguments to persuade.

Zhong Ming is a rough person, although there are thick and fine, but even so Zhong Ming doesn't know how to convince others through debate, the debate competition in Dorok University is because there are voters, judges and teachers, at least there is a standard, now these people have graduated from college for so long, in terms of their status, who dares to be their judges?

For his own feelings, of course, Zhong Ming, who is a sleek person, will not say this directly to Arue, "Give up, what you have done is in vain", so he cautiously closed his mouth and waited for the conference in a few days, thinking about who he could know from this meeting and how many contacts he could get.

Since even Zhong Ming, who has little contact with the Enlightenment, can judge that this conference is doomed to be fruitless just by experience, not to mention that he has been paying attention to the cold game of the Enlightenment since the beginning of his speech on "Reason and Wildness".

And unlike Arue, Leng Yi, who is not lively enough, has no idea of bridging the contradiction, his idea is that since the contradiction is destined to be irreparable, it is better for him to simply push the hand and let the differences be completely exposed?

A few days later, the conference officially began, which can be said to be the most complete gathering of Enlightenment masters from all over the world in the more than ten years of the Enlightenment Movement, and perhaps they also knew that if they did not get together this time, they would probably not be able to meet again as a faction in the future, and this was still the meeting that decided where the Enlightenment was going, so how could they not come?

The venue was a normal auditorium setting, with a high podium for speeches and debates, except that the seats under the podium were specially arranged to accommodate the arriving rational Enlightenment.

According to Aroue's predictions, the Enlightenment Club is now divided into three factions: the orthodox, which still follows Aroue's original purpose, and the heretics, who have begun to attack the factory system, and the centrists, who have not yet taken a stand. Therefore, the chairs in the meeting hall were also divided into three factions, with the neutrals sitting in the middle, the orthodox on the left, and the heretics on the right.

In addition, there were arranged chairs behind and on both sides of the formal seats, but they were more rudimentary, because they were for the followers of the Enlightenment who did not join the Enlightenment Club, but were interested in the meeting, and Arue sat in this row, and by his fierce appearance, he managed to grab the chair in front of the left.

When the opening time of the meeting came, the people took their seats, and Arue also made it to the auditorium, which is the advantage of being a graduate of Doroque University, those who probe their brains outside the field are the worst, but they are happy to do it.

When the time was officially up, Arue was the first to take the stage, and after looking around, he opened the topic of the day with the same old tune of "ignorance and reason", talked about the importance of reason, and then began to talk about the differences between the subject, that is, the Enlightenment itself.

Just as Aroue was going to follow the process and plan to let the heretics and orthodox first state their respective views, and then you negotiate a new opinion that could unify the views, Leng Yi attached himself to Aroue: "I don't think it's good to divide the seats according to the club, after all, everyone in the same club doesn't necessarily have the same opinion, right?"

Leng Yi's speech surprised the people who participated in the layout of the venue, and Arue didn't say that there would be this paragraph during the rehearsal, but it was this that made the participants feel more interesting.

"Well, there are three rows of chairs on the field, so I will say three paragraphs, representing the three views on the country, agree with what I said, and follow my instructions to do the corresponding chairs, regardless of which club you are in, how about it? If you don't understand what you want, get out of the way and give the onlookers a seat. ”

So the Enlightenment came to vote by a show of hands, and the majority agreed with Leng Yi's proposal, so the proposal was passed, and it seems that most of the Enlightenment in the club did not get along.

Seeing that the participants began to stand up, Leng Yi showed the smile that Arue was used to, but the more sensitive people, including Zhong Ming, shivered from this familiar and unfamiliar smile for no reason, Zhong Ming felt that the Arue in front of him seemed to have become a little unfamiliar.
