The investigation of Tu has come to an end for the time being. Her identity is still suspicious, but at least it is certain that it is not a spy who was placed by Xu You.

This is enough!

Xu You is curious about what her true identity is, but he is not in a hurry. As long as she stays in the mansion, the truth will always be revealed.

A few days later, on the third day of March, the Shangsi Festival came. Since the Spring and Autumn Period, every Shangsi Festival, people gathered to the water to wash away dirt, attract souls, and swear disasters. Later, they were gradually valued by the ruling class. By the Six Dynasties, it had become a legal holiday and became a national entertainment activity. Men and women wore mustard flowers on their heads, held orchids, and wouldow branches were inserted between their waists, traveling around the mountains and rivers, and bathing in the spring. From time to time, there were couples in the suburbs, which were both romantic and natural, and were popular among the general public.

Early in the morning that day, Zhang Mo, Du Sheng, Wang Rong, Zhou Yong, Shen Meng, Wu Shixing, and Bao Hu rushed from all over the place, waiting in a pavilion on the east side of West Lake. When Xu You appeared, the seven people stood up at the same time, with sincere smiles on their faces.

After all, being able to win over the famous You Ye Yiguang in Yangzhou will be of great help to their personal reputation or the rhythm movement that is about to spend their whole life changing.

"Mini!"

Zhang Mo came over, took Xu You's hand and said happily: "We look up at the West City, which is what we have hoped for!"

Xu You apologized: "Troubleshoot some family affairs, please come late, don't blame me!" As he said that, he bowed in groups, and everyone hurriedly replied, saying it was okay. Zhang Mo pulled him to the person on the far left and said, "Everyone knows me, I will introduce you again. Shen Meng, whose name is Yunming. Although he is weak in appearance, he is actually as strong as a fire, and he dares to fight and rush!"

"Brother Yunming!"

Xu You bowed his hand and said, "Last time, we had a lot of misunderstandings, and we parted in a bad mood. This is mine. Today I will apologize to Brother Yunming!"

Shen Meng moved aside, expressed humility, and did not dare to accept Xu You's apology, and said sincerely: "I was abrupt that day and had never explained it clearly to Weizhi. During this period, I was often guilty and couldn't sleep at night. Fortunately, Meng Weizhi refused to give up and was willing to come to West Lake to meet. This heart makes me deeply respectful!"

"Where is where, Brother Yunming is serious!"

The two smiled and put aside their grudges. After the greetings were over, Xu You sat in the middle of the pavilion. The others sat on both sides to discuss the specific details of today's association.

In the final analysis, association is a social organization and is extremely closely related to social life. From the perspective of content and form, it can be roughly divided into four aspects: regular governance, economy, culture, and military.

The society of the rule, such as the cliques, the party members of the East and West, the Niu Li Party of the Tang Dynasty, the new and old Party of the Song Dynasty, the eunuch Party of the Ming Dynasty, and the Donglin Party of the Economic Society of the Economic Society, such as guilds, merchant gangs, guild halls, horse shops, fish shops, silk shops and other handicraft guilds of the past dynasties, as well as various guilds that use charity relief and mutual assistance to each other are all considered economic society; in terms of military terms, most of them are temporary military organizations such as the charity society, the charity society, the militia, and the Baojia. Unless they plan to rebel and secretly form privately, the official will not allow the existence of too powerful military society; finally, it is a cultural association, and it is also the most common type of community organization, with the most complex form, the most extensive content, and the most numerous names.

The West Lake Bazi Society that Xu You participated in today is a type of cultural association. But no matter which association it is, it must have a leader, a social order, a rules, a gathering place and a fixed time. Long Wutou is not good, the first step is to elect the leader. The process is very simple. Zhang Mo suggested that everyone recommends that everyone should be the leader. Xu You, whoever has the highest support, did not hesitate, and all agreed. This is also considered to be a consensus in private, and the recommendation is just a formality. Xu You gave in a humble push several times, and was persuaded by everyone, so he naturally responded.

If the cross poems on the collection alone cannot convince everyone's hearts, the circulation of "Sandu Fu" was as Zhang Zihua said, leading to the preciousness of paper in Yangzhou, which initially established Xu You's lofty status in the Yangzhou literary world, and no one dared to question his qualifications.

After choosing the leader of the alliance, we then decided to set up the social order. Everyone looked at Xu You together, and no one spoke. On the one hand, we wanted to test his abilities. After all, the position of leader of the alliance is not only literary talent and knowledge, but also organizational and leadership skills. On the other hand, the social order is the top priority of the cultural society and is the main policy to guide future actions and development. Everyone knew nothing and dared not speak easily.

Xu You was confident. He was in seclusion for many days and was thinking about this question. He mentioned twelve words in a concise way:

When making friends through poetry, you will be harmonious when singing; when you wander around the mountains and forests, you will be safe.

Since the association of literati, classics, history, literature, poetry, music, calligraphy and painting have never been separated. They praise each other in all aspects, join each other, learn from each other, and improve each other. While becoming famous through association, they often form the concept of positive governance of individuals or groups, and then gradually grow into a large or weak Zhengzhi group, and never a purely poetic club has appeared.

Xu Youding's social order basically regulates the West Lake Bazi Society in a small circle of poetry lovers, without involving anything else, let alone Zhengzhi! (The two words Zhengzhi were written on purpose, and everyone must understand the reason. When it needs to appear in the future, they will be replaced by typos. Please distinguish them from Zhengzhi of Tianshidao)

This was a compromise he made for the sake of stability, and also to prevent being led astray by other people's ambitions. As expected, Wang Rong expressed different opinions on the social order of twelve words, and changed to helping the world with care. Confucianism always takes it as its responsibility to support the country. It is not impossible to be able to do it alone, but it must fight, fight, and enjoy it before talking about the feasibility of retreating to the mountains and forests.

Regarding this, the eight people started a fierce debate. Zhang Mo, Shen Meng, Du Sheng and Zhou Yong supported Xu You, Bao Hu and Wu Shixing supported Wang Rong, five to three, and there was no dispute.

"Brother Wang, Brother Bao, Brother Wu, I have no intention of career, so I don't doubt my brother. I believe that the three gentlemen of Shen Duzhou, the same is true. Why? Because we have formed a society in West Lake, what we want to do is far more meaningful than becoming an official in the court. Once the four-tone jingle rhyme is promulgated from the north and south, it will not only affect the poetry rhythm for thousands of years, but also regulate the style of the poetry world in the next thousand years. The changes in the two thousand years are all in your hands, so why bother to worry about being alone or helping the world? These two are not contradictory. Only by keeping oneself alone can we avoid various worldly influences and concentrate on improving and popularizing the four-tone jingle rhyme. As long as you do this, you will want to help the world as well."

Xu You joined the association and just wanted to leave a name in the literary world and to support his hopes among the people. He was not willing to take this to seek benefits for the rule of law, nor would he take this opportunity to enter the official career, nor would he want to be tied up by Wang Rong and others to bear unpredictable risks for their needs and goals for the rule of law.

There are countless examples of literati associations and eventually develop into a Zhengzhi group. Then they will be bound by this group and fight with other Zhengzhi groups, which is the so-called party struggle. Therefore, the four words "limited" must be written into the social order of the West Lake Bazi Society. This is a principle and cannot be given up!

After a dispute, in order not to let the newly established Bazi Society die in its infancy, Xu You re-proposes with his extremely harmonious life experience and experience that he will not stop Wang Rong and Bao Zhao from participating in other clubs. He can seek like-minded people outside the Bazi Society of West Lake and pursue progress in his career together, but he must not bring these affairs to Bazi Society, and ensure the purity and independence of Bazi Society as a poetry society.

Wang Rong expressed his approval with heartily and vowed to abide by the agreement. Bao Hu and Wu Shixing were the only ones who followed the leader and nodded in agreement. Next, he agreed to have a gathering in Qiantang on the third day of each month. If there is something important, he would send someone to notify him and explain the reasons. Those who cannot appear three times in a row will be automatically withdrawn from the community.

As for the meeting place and meeting place, Xu You is responsible for all the fees. Qiantang is his base camp and the leader of the social affairs, so he naturally needs to spend more time. This was proposed by Xu You. He is not short of this money, he is generous and can also win people's hearts.

In addition, other regulations have been agreed upon, with a total of seventeen social orders, which will become the cornerstone and foundation for the development and growth of the West Lake Bazi Society in the next ten years.

After everything was done, Du Sheng was young and could not help but feel impulse and said, "Today's Shangsi Festival, there are people who are traveling around in West Lake. Why don't we join in the fun?"

When they were discussing the matter just now, many men and women passed by the pavilion. Some wanted to come in and rest, but were stopped by the troops guarding outside. Some people were curious about who was gathering in the pavilion. They stopped from afar and looked at them. There were also many girls who saw Xu You and the others all looked handsome, but they boldly stopped and threw a lot of orchids in.

"Okay, let's go and relax first. I'll go to Zhibinlou for lunch. I'll invite you to taste the delicious food in Qiantang!"

After hearing Xu You's words, there were food, drink and beautiful scenery. Everyone was in high spirits and walked along the West Lake together. Zhang Mo and Xu You walked at the end. He was a little unhappy and even felt a little sorry for Xu You. After all, he had promised Xu You before that there would be no accidents in the association today. Unexpectedly, Wang Rong had different opinions when discussing the social order, which greatly damaged Xu You's prestige.

"What, do you think Wang Rong did something wrong?"

Zhang Mo shook his head and said, "Social orders are of great importance. Everyone needs to express their opinions, but his attitude..."

Xu You said with great sincerity: "You have excellent talents, but you can't just rely on talent to deal with people. You also need to pay attention to strategies and methods. Wang Rong's intention to have a career is not a bad thing. He can learn literature and martial arts, sell it to the imperial family, become an official, and enter the court to realize his lofty ambitions for the country and the people of the people. But we set up a poetry club not for the country in front of us and the people of Jiangdong, but for the development of poetry, the art of literature and art that has been passed down for thousands of years, and create innovation. Therefore, Wang Rong's ambitions and the mission of the poetry club have conflicted. How to resolve this conflict? Annoyed, rejection and confrontation are not solutions. Only by looking for a different approach and finding a way to achieve a win-win situation..."

"Win-win?"

"It is beneficial to both sides of the conflict, which is called a win-win!" Xu You smiled and said: "This is also the responsibility that the leader of the social affairs should bear. To accommodate different places, resolve objections, and unite the majority. The eight sons of West Lake will not slowly become seven sons, six sons, and five sons, but will become ten sons, hundreds sons, and ten millions of people in the near future!"
