Chapter 911 Sun Chun
Zhang Dai and others' Wanbi Bookstore made them recall for a long time, especially the books they bought back.Sun Chun specifically asked for the "Sizhou Zhi" and said that he wanted to study it carefully.

Sun Chun's family is in Jiaxing, and he is a student of Jiaxing prefectural school, but he lives in Wujiang all the year round, and sometimes lives in Meiwanju Bieye in Nanxun Town, Wucheng County, Huzhou.Regardless of his unattractive appearance, plain clothes, and knowledge, he is only a "person who only collects essays in the Five Classics". He has a low status in the eyes of many Fushe scholars. In fact, his family has considerable assets, and he is a real core member of the society.

When it comes to fame, he is of course comparable to Zhang Pu, Zhang Cai and others, far inferior to the already well-known "four princes" at that time, and also inferior to Huang Zongxi.But he is indeed the backbone of the society.As a political society in the name of academics, Fushe has a certain degree of organization. It can even be said that it has roughly some characteristics of modern political parties.If Zhang Pu and Zhang Cai are the "leaders" of Fushe, then Sun Chun is the "organization director" of Fushe.

Scholars from all over the country, as long as their literary and political opinions conform to the concept of rehabilitating the society, Sun Chun will spare no effort to persuade them to join the society by writing letters or going there in person.It can be said that he single-handedly organized the entire organization of Fushe.He is also directly responsible for the qualification examination of the members who join the club, and reviews those scholars who apply to join the club.And a series of affairs such as communication and assembly among the members of Fushe almost all go through his hands.

He doesn't have his own villa in Hangzhou, but stays in Zhang Dai's villa.After dinner, several friends looked through the newly purchased books together, and chatted and talked about the best Yunnan daughter's tea to digest food.Zhang Dai was originally interested in Australian things, but now that he was lured by Zhao Yingong in Wanbi Bookstore, he couldn't help thinking of going to Guangzhou.

"Is the elder brother really going to Guangli?" Wen Huai asked.

"I have made this wish for a long time—it's not for the Australians. I heard that the customs in Guangli are different from those in the Central Plains, and it is even different from the south of the Yangtze River. There are many strange people and goods from overseas. I have long wanted to open my eyes and see something new. , and taste the local specialties. Now that there are Australians, of course I want to go and see more." Zhang Dai leaned on a couch, wearing loose Zen clothes, two different colors who were only fourteen or fifteen One of the maids was serving tea and the other was peeling the citrus with her slender hands.

"It's a pity that I didn't pass the provincial examination last year, so I have to study behind closed doors. Otherwise, I would like to go to Guangli with Fu Ji." Wen Huai said with a smile.His eyes wandered a little on the two maids.

"Hehe," Zhang Dai laughed, "Brother Liaoshi, I heard that there were a lot of people who passed the joint test last year. Why don't you ask someone to tell you? At worst, it costs a few hundred taels of silver, why bother?" Study hard on this chewed and chewed thing? What can you learn from stereotyped essays?"

Wen Huai put away his smile: "I don't even dare to think about such a thing!" He continued with a wry smile, "It's not that I'm being hypocritical. To entrust the joint, the first thing is to have the favor of the big boss, and the second is to have the favor of the big boss." There is a lot of silver. If you lack both, even if you sell the field, there is no one to communicate with you, it will be useless."

Sun Chun said with a smile: "Tianru has appointed a good scholar from the Imperial Academy in this department, and Mr. Zhou Ge was strongly recommended by Fushe and Donglin. Brother Liaoshi, why worry about not having a family background in the future?"

After Zhang Pu, the leader of the Fushe, got his undergraduate degree, he appointed a scholar of the Imperial Academy—the second generation of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The Imperial Academy was a training center for high-level bureaucrats. The official rank was not high, but their political status was very high, and their future was immeasurable. .

"I hope so." Wen Huai had a lonely expression on his face.Sun Chun knew that Wen Huai was very serious about becoming an official. His family was only a middle-class man. He didn't have much property in his family, and he couldn't talk about his outstanding talent. If it wasn't for his relationship with Zhang Dai, he might have You can't squeeze into this circle at all.After being squeezed into this circle, all kinds of strong sense of gap made him more eager to become an official to change his situation.

Sun Chun doesn't dislike such a person, in his opinion, at least this person is self-motivated and willing to do things.If such people can successfully become officials and join the central and local bureaucracy, they will be able to continuously expand Fushe's influence and further promote Fushe's political ideas in practice.

He silently considered whether he should be included in the recommendation list for the next Nanjing provincial examination?Of course, Sun Chun cannot make the decision on this matter, but he has a great say.

Sun Chun went back to his room, asked the book boy to light a lamp, and immediately polished ink and laid paper, and wrote a letter to Zhang Pu.The meeting was mentioned in the letter.Including some of his views on Australian books and their learning.

Shihlins in the south of the Yangtze River generally have very little understanding of Australians—those rare Australian goods from afar are certainly a sensation, but what Australians are like, what they do in Qiongzhou, etc. It is still a very vague concept.Although the news that the imperial army suffered a big defeat in Qiongzhou and the Australians invaded near Guangzhou has spread vaguely, the final result is nothing.I have never heard of a large Australian army on the move, nor of a state or county that has fallen.Compared with the She'an Rebellion that is coming to an end, it has less impact on Jiangnan Shilin.To some well-informed people, Australians and Zheng Zhilong or red-haired people seem to be in the same category.

Although Fushe was a political group dominated by scholars from the south of the Yangtze River, it also included scholars from all over the country.Through this nationwide network, Sun Chun actually acts as the intelligence leader of Fushe.

Nanxun was an important distributing center for raw silk in places south of Taihu Lake, and its commercial trade was very developed. Sun Chun formed his own intelligence collection and message transmission system through the business relationships he mastered.Through the regular correspondence of businessmen, he mastered the people's livelihood, officialdom, public opinion and banditry in many places.Therefore, it is also called "Sun Pusi" by the people in the society.He knows more about the situation in Guangdong than others.

The original Juren of Nanhai County, Guangzhou, Liu Shidou, who just won a Jinshi in Chunwei this year, has always been friendly with Fushe, and has maintained close contact with Zhang Pu and others for a long time.Every move of the Australians outside Guangzhou, including their deeds in Qiongzhou, was continuously transmitted to Sun Chun through Liu Shidou's letters.

Although the various actions of the Australians are sometimes discussed in Fushe's core circles, in general, Fushe has no specific attitude or position towards Australians - after all, their current task is to "advance gentlemen and reject We must clarify the government and establish a gentleman's dynasty as the foundation.So whether it's red-haired, Australians, Jianlu, or rogue bandits who are getting more and more violent, it's not their main concern.In the eyes of many scholars, just as the villain is about to be repelled, the court officials have corrected the root cause. Once the root cause is cleared, it is not difficult to eradicate these side issues of internal and external troubles.

But the current political situation in Donglin is not good.Although the eunuchs were expelled through large-scale political liquidation after Chongzhen ascended the throne, the Yuan Chonghuan case in the second year of Chongzhen had dealt a severe blow to Donglin, and the eunuchs took the opportunity to counterattack. The head teacher Han Yu was forced to resign, and the Donglin faction lost two great scholars.Then Zhou Yanru and Wen Tiren joined the cabinet.

Of these two people, Zhou Yanru was friendly with the Donglin faction, but also had a deep relationship with the Eunuch Party. As for Wen Tiren, he once built the Wei Zhongxian Shrine in Hangzhou and wrote poems praising Wei Zhongxian.It can be said that he is an authentic eunuch, but he is cautious and incisive, so he did not attract attention to political activities during the reign of Tianqi, so he escaped the liquidation of the eunuch in the early years of Chongzhen, and then used his relationship with Zhou Yanru to Successfully entered the cabinet.

News of these activities reached Sun Chun continuously through letters from officials of the Donglin faction in Beijing and scholars from Fushe—some news arrived even faster than the Chaobao.

In terms of rehabilitating the society, Zhou Yanru is of course dissatisfied with recruiting Wen Tiren, the "eunuch party", but Zhou Yanru is friendly to the Donglin faction after all. When the Donglin faction loses its central power, it is crucial to win Zhou Yanru's support thing.

Right now, the main focus of Fushe is on this year's conference examination.After the Jinling Township Examination in the third year of Chongzhen, the Jinling Conference for the restoration of the society was held. This was the second meeting of the Fushe after the Yinshan Conference in the first year of Chongzhen.

In the Jinling Township Examination, Yang Tingshu, one of the central figures of the Fushe, knew Yuan, and Zhang Pu, the leader of the Fushe, also passed the Juren examination. Prestige and influence soared.Although there was an incident where Xue Guoguan of the warm body and benevolent faction ordered the censor to attack Zhou Yanru because Wu Weiye won the second place.But now it has basically subsided—and Fushe has shown his face greatly: the emperor personally read Wu Weiye's palace examination papers and highly appreciated his articles.

How to take advantage of this opportunity to expand the influence of Fushe and Donglin in the court, try to repel the "eunuch remnant" Wen Tiren, and ensure Zhou Yanru's "friendship" with Fushe is the most concerned thing of the Fushe Group at present.Sun Chun has been busy with this matter recently.Originally, he didn't pay much attention to this adventure in Wanbi Villa, but after he came back, he thought about it a little, and felt that he should inform the main people in the club about this situation.

Australian books flowed into Ming Dynasty.Sun Chun doesn't care about erotic books and the like-this is just a plaything section.Not a vital joint.However, he saw from the books "Sizhou Zhi" and "Guanglun Beginners" that there is an "Australian study" that is comparable to the "Western method" boasted by the red-haired priests and Confucian scholars, and even better. They are quietly knocking on Daming's door.

　[-]. Tianru is Zhang Pu's character.

　　[-]. It is said that the establishment of Fushe was in the fifth year of Chongzhen. Here it is said from the first year of Chongzhen.
