The principled matter has been decided, and the stone in Su Tiancheng's heart has landed, as long as Sun Chengzong arrives in Nanjing, after the establishment of the Zhongxing Society, I am afraid that Donglin Academy and the Fushe Society will suffer heavy losses.

However, Sun Chengzong's family must be considered, and Sun Chengzong's age is old, and there is no one around to take care of him, it will definitely not work, if there is something wrong in Nanjing, it is really his own sin.

The establishment of the Zhongxing Society, there are too many things to do, it is by no means as simple as it says, Zhu wrote the name of the Zhongxing Society, which means that the Society is completely official, but the Society can not be established in accordance with the rules of the government, and a hundred flowers bloom and a hundred schools of thought must become the purpose of the Society, so that Sun Chengzong needs to work hard and spend his efforts.

"My lord, there are a few things that the juniors are considering, and I ask the adults to decide."

"Oh, what's the matter, the old man is ready, he is going to leave immediately, the situation in Nanjing, the old man already knows a little, then the Donglin Academy and the Fushe are too rampant, and time cannot be delayed."

"The younger generation thinks that the establishment of the society, it takes too much energy, adults from the north to Nanjing, life, it is inevitable that there are some unsuitable places, although the younger generation is young, when they just arrived in Jiangning County, it is also a long time before they adapt to the climate of Nanjing, so the younger generation suggests that the adults should take part of their families to Nanjing together."

"This is not good, resolutely not good, it is so messed up with the etiquette system, Master Su must not say this, the old man knows that you have good intentions, don't mention this matter again."

"No, the younger generation made such a request after careful consideration, and the lord is dedicated to the court. With decades of hard work, it is admired by hundreds of officials, if you go to Nanjing, there is no one to take care of your daily life, and the younger generation is uneasy. Besides, in the middle of the emperor's holy decree, it was also clearly stated that the family members of the adults would follow them to Nanjing. ”

Sun Chengzong stood up in shock, he never expected that after talking to Su Tiancheng for so long, Su Tiancheng actually had the emperor's holy decree in his hand.

"Master Su, wait. Wait for the old man to set up an incense hall to welcome the holy decree. ”

"Your Excellency doesn't have to be like this, the emperor has specially instructed you, your lordship is highly respected, you don't have to pay attention to so much etiquette, just invite your family to come, and it's fine."

Such etiquette is indispensable. Master Su waited, and the old man went to arrange it. ”

"Adults must persevere. The juniors didn't dare to stop it, but the things that were arranged still had to be done by the people in the house, and the juniors still had things to discuss with the adults. ”

Sun Chengzong nodded and called the housekeeper. An incense table was set up in the living room, and the family members were required to bathe and change their clothes and prepare for the holy decree.

"After the establishment of the Zhongxing Society, adults will be the mainstay, and Lord Zodiac Zhou will assist you. As for the rest of the candidates, I hope that the adults will recommend them, and the younger generation thinks that three to five people are in charge, and it will be fine. ”

"Oh, Zodiac Zhou is good, the old man is very familiar with him."

After a little groaning, Sun Chengzong spoke again.

"The old man recommended one person, Lu Shanji, now he is lecturing in his hometown, and he just followed the old man to Nanjing together."

Su Tiancheng's body trembled slightly, Lu Shanji's fame, he knew it.

Lu Shanji is a native of Dingxing, Mongolian, dare to admit things, outstanding strategy, Jinshi during the Wanli period, once served as the head of the household department, the head of the military department, Taichang Shaoqing, followed Sun Chengzong to do things for a period of time, Chongzhen resigned in the second year and returned to his hometown.

Lu Shanji is not young anymore, he is sixty years old this year.

Sun Chengzong, Huang Daozhou and Lu Shanji are very famous, they gathered together to found the Zhongxing Society, with a huge appeal, it is conceivable that the Society will be a new attitude, absorbing scholars from all over the country, bursting out of huge energy.

"Okay, since the adults are in charge of all the affairs of the Zhongxing Society, of course, the opinions of the adults shall prevail."

"Master Su, the old man has a layer of doubts, and he has been thinking about it for a long time, after the establishment of the Zhongxing Society, what is the purpose, if it is to absorb the world's scholars, wouldn't there be a lot of conflict with the Guozijian, as for the concept promoted by the Society, the old man can discuss with Lord Su and his colleagues, this is not the biggest problem."

"What the adults said is yes, the juniors have carefully considered this issue, and the juniors think that after the establishment of the society, there are three major tasks."

"The first task is to unite all scholars, including the gentry and wealthy families, so that they can gather around the imperial court, support the decisions of the imperial court, and be loyal to the emperor."

"The second task is to publicize the policies of the imperial court, the society is not only to the gentry and wealthy households, scholars and scholars, but also to ask them to publicize to the common people, the society is like a bridge, one end is connected to the court, one end is connected to the people, the role of this kind of propaganda, can not be underestimated, can make the court know the suffering of the people, can also let the people know the emperor's desire to love the people like a son."

"The third task is to observe the people's feelings, the nature of the society is special, not a bureaucracy, the members who join the society come from all over the world, they can make private visits, grasp the situation of the people, grasp the suffering of the people, the society gathers these situations, put forward opinions and suggestions to solve them, and report to the emperor and the court, which can make the emperor really grasp the situation of the people."

"As for the Zhongxing Society and Guozijian, the nature is different, Guozijian is mainly engaged in teaching activities, and the focus of the society is to engage in research, to put it more bluntly, the most important role of the society is to observe the people's feelings, put forward specific solutions, and it is to gather the strength of the world's scholars, and directly provide many opinions for the emperor."

"The younger generation has taken these into account for the time being, the school is dominated by adults, and all opinions are decided by adults."

Sun Chengzong's face became more and more serious, this Zhongxing Society, which is still different from what he considered, is not only a research and academic institution, but also an institution with the nature of a staff, and this staff, the direct master is the emperor, it can be seen that this Zhongxing Society, the role is extraordinary.

"Master Su said so, the old man somewhat understood, no wonder Lord Su asked the old man's family to go to Nanjing together, it seems that the task of this society is very heavy."

"The younger generation thinks, there is another layer of things, the nature of the Zhongxing Society, and Donglin Academy, Fushe and other societies, has a completely different nature, all the scholars, scholars, gentry and wealthy families who enter the Zhongxing Society, are responsible, reflect the people's suffering, do what they can to contribute, put an end to empty talk, the society can be based on the performance of the members, directly recommend talents to the imperial court, outstanding members, the imperial court can directly award officials."

Sun Chengzong stood up, Su Tiancheng said the most difficult point, shocked him, the society can directly recommend talents to the imperial court, that is to say, the members of the society, outstanding performance, can directly become officials of the imperial court, this is not trivial, it can be said that the society from the day it was established, it has a huge advantage, can be the most widely attracted talents.

"Everything Master Su said, does the emperor know?"

"Rest assured, all these matters are approved by the emperor, otherwise the younger generations will not dare to talk nonsense, the emperor has issued two holy decrees, a holy decree, which is to ask the family members of the adults to go to Nanjing with them, and the other holy decree is related to the Zhongxing Society, which clarifies the expenses of the Zhongxing Society, etc., including the specific matters such as the adult's fortune, as well as the Zhongxing Society, which can directly play the royal family and directly recommend talents."

Sun Chengzong was in the study, walking a few steps, he really couldn't help it.

Su Tiancheng's words are clear enough, that is to say, the Zhongxing Society has the power to perform secretly, which is also a measure to put an end to the delay of the Ministry and the Cabinet and the reluctance to appoint the talents recommended by the Society.

In an instant, Sun Chengzong's arrogance rose.

"Okay, okay, if the old man can't run this Zhongxing Society, then he will really be ashamed of the emperor's high hopes, I can't imagine that the old man is a lot old and has taken on such a heavy responsibility, the old man is ready, and he will set off with Master Su and go to Nanjing together."

The family soon came to report that the meeting room was ready.

Su Tiancheng and Sun Chengzong soon came to the meeting room, and the magistrate of Gaoyang County was also waiting in the meeting room.

Su Tiancheng quickly read out the holy decree, Zhu Youzhen seemed very generous, Sun Chengzong's family members can all follow him to Nanjing, of course, Gaoyang County still has to leave some family members, after all, this is his hometown.

As for the other holy decree, it was given to Sun Chengzong alone.

In the process of reading the holy decree, Su Tiancheng was also a little bitter, the emperor was very generous, everything was taken into account to take care of Sun Chengzong, but unfortunately he didn't give silver, all these expenses were required to be responsible for Tianfu and Jiangning County, to put it bluntly, Jiangning County was directly responsible, Su Tiancheng calculated the accounts, at the beginning, at least 200,000 taels of silver was needed, and there were also Sun Chengzong, Huang Daozhou and Lu Shanji's three people's money, as for everyone's residence, as well as the office location of the Zhongxing Society, this aspect has long been prepared.

After the decree was read, Sun Chengzong was very interested and arranged for his family to prepare a banquet.

Seeing the hundred sergeants who followed Su Tiancheng, Sun Chengzong felt a lot of emotion, he led the troops all the year round, and he could see at a glance that the sergeants who followed Su Tiancheng were extremely strong and had extraordinary combat effectiveness.

During the meal, Su Tiancheng suggested that he go to Dingxing and invite Lord Lu Shanji to Nanjing, Sun Chengzong said with a smile, such a thing, Su Tiancheng can't go alone, he also has to go with him, the status of the Zhongxing Society is so important, nothing can be sloppy.
