Within Qushan County, Haizhou Prefecture.

This old official yamen built in the Tang Dynasty was really lively today, with two groups of distinguished guests visiting one after another. The first ones were the Er Su brothers and four Sumen disciples who came from the sea on Yuzhou Island. They were welcomed by Zeng Zhao, the magistrate of Haizhou, who personally came from the dock. Before the group could sit in the yamen, Huang Tingjian and Wu Haogu arrived with gifts.

Zeng Zhao hurriedly got up and went out to greet him, and welcomed the great scholar, Huang Tingjian and Mi Youren, who accompanied him, into the inner living room in the backyard of Haizhou Prefecture Yamen.

Wu Haogu was also here. The first time he saw Su Dongpo, whom he had admired for a long time. Su Dongpo wore a yellow double-breasted gown and a Dongpo scarf on his head. The old man looked a little thin, with a face that was originally a Chinese-shaped shaped protruding cheekbones, deep eye sockets, and a goatee's beard turned white.

There was also an old man who was a little younger, slightly fatter, and very similar in appearance with Su Dongpo. Naturally, Su Zhe was dressed similarly to Su Shi, wearing casual clothes, but he did not wear a Dongpo scarf. He just put on a square scarf and sat leisurely with his brother.

Zeng Zhao, the magistrate of Haizhou, also looked easy-going, and did not wear official uniforms. He kept calling on Wu Haogu, Huang Tingjian and Mi Youren who were visiting him.

However, Wu Haogu and Mi Youren did not dare to relax in front of the old seniors. They were all in full set of green robes and official uniforms, sitting upright.

Although both of them were confidants in the official family, it seemed like it was a matter of time before they could be recommended to join the two governments. However, there were still seniority in the officialdom, and Wu Haogu still came to become a disciple, while Mi Youren simply compared Wu Haogu and was even one generation lower than Wu Haogu. The Er Su brothers were his "grandfather generation".

Su Dongpo's four students were also here, sitting there in casual clothes, shaking their fans, all of whom were famous.

Huang Tingjian introduced everyone to Wu Haogu one by one. Wu Haogu bowed his fists while secretly looking at the style of the Er Su brothers.

Well, to be honest, Wu Haogu really couldn't see how charming the two old men were. It seemed that he, Gao Qiu, Pan Xiao'an and Mi Youren, the "four confidants", looked better! I don't know why the Song people just fanned Su Dongpo?

However, the senior master is the senior master... Just before Wu Haogu left Kaifeng Prefecture, the first issue of the special issue of "Wenquxing" magazine, "The Return of Dongpo" (the reality show album of Qiao Jinniang and Su Dongpo), was sold for a big hit. The album priced at 200 articles (referring to the income of the Huagu Store, and how much the distributor sells) was sold in Kaifeng Prefecture alone! In the entire Song Dynasty, it is conservatively estimated that there are 200,000 copies!

With such sales, the next "trick" will definitely be sold at a sky-high price...

Fortunately, the Song people did not have any portrait rights or patent awareness these days, otherwise Su Dongpo would have gone to Kaifeng Prefecture to sue him!

While thinking about infringing on Su Dongpo's portrait rights, he spoke greetings. After a while, he finally started to talk about the serious matter. He saw Huang Tingjian's face serious: "Teacher, this time my disciple accompanied Wu Chongdao from Kaifeng Prefecture to invite you to take Wu Chongdao into Su's country and pass on his hands. Wu Chongdao was born in Confucianism and businessman, and his ancestors were the Wu Zhou royal family. He practiced Confucianism and painting since he was young. Although he was young, he had great achievements in Confucianism and painting art. He could be called a genius of a generation. If he could join the teacher, he would definitely carry forward the Su's country's school!"

Su Dongpo smiled and shook the fan gently and said, "I have received the letter from Mi Yuanzhang, Zhang Zihou, Cheng Zhengshu, and Fan Yaofu to recommend Wu Chongdao to get started." He looked at Wu Haogu, "They all said that you are a talented man in the world and a rookie of Confucianism. And I have also read your "Republic Merit Agreement" in Haizhou... It's really not simple!

Although there is a saying in the Book of Rites that "the great way is to do, the world is the public, and the wise and capable are selected," only those who really put it into practice are the "Lüshi Township Agreement" and the "Republic and Shangshang". Moreover, the degree of perfection of the "Republic and Shangshang" is far greater than that of the "Lüshi Township Agreement", even I am very impressed! It is the honor of my Sumen to have a disciple like you!"

This is the acquisition of disciples? Although Wu Haogu's previous operation had already made Su Dongpo unable to refuse, Mr. Dongpo's words still made Wu Haogu overjoyed.

He quickly got up, took out the letter of apprenticeship that had been prepared for a long time, walked to Su Dongpo, knelt on his knees, and held up the letter of apprenticeship: "Disciple Wu Haogu pays homage to his teacher!"

Su Dongpo smiled and accepted the letter of apprenticeship, then reached out to support Wu Haogu's arm. Wu Haogu stood up and stood in front of Su Dongpo.

Mr. Dongpo looked at Wu Hao and Gu Ying's straight look, smiled and said, "Sit down and talk."

Wu Haogu returned to his chair and sat down. Although the formal apprenticeship ceremony has not been held yet, from now on, he is a disciple of Su Jun and a ideal heir to Su Dongpo...

Mr. Dongpo stroked his beard and pointed his brother Su Zhe with a fan and said, "Zi You and I have been discussing your "Republic Merchant Agreement" these days... Zi You both think that the "Merchant Agreement" is not very good, and one day it will cause trouble in the world!"

This view...well, probably makes sense!

Wu Haogu knew that the "Republic Merchants Agreement" and Jiehe Merchants City, the Yuntai Academy and the Armed Doctorate, which had no history, had already been destined to be the world in the future and would be even more chaotic than the original history.

Because the Chinese bourgeoisie now has a way to organize a regime (the "Republic Trade Agreement", a base for regime practice (the Republic Market), an ideal armed group (the armed doctoral group), and a bourgeois mentor who can toss and fight. With all this, if the Jingkang shame still occurs as scheduled, then this disaster will become an opportunity for the birth of a bourgeois republic regime independent of the feudal dynasty.

The ethnic minorities in the north, whether they are the Jurchens or Mongolia, are probably not enough to destroy a bourgeois republic with millions of people, huge handicrafts and the sea power in the East, as well as a large number of overseas colonies.

Perhaps what is replaced is likely to be more prolonged chaos and war...

However, Wu Haogu could not tell Su Dongpo about this real idea.

Moreover, Wu Haogu had known that Er Su would ask such a question for a long time, and as for the answer... he had already considered it.

"Teacher, the "Lüshi Township Agreement" is a promise of peasants, and the "Republic and Commercial Agreement" is a promise of industry and commerce, but scholars, peasants, industry and commerce are ultimately led by scholars. Students think that perhaps the promise of scholars is the way to truly realize the world as public?"

Want to "ask" again?

Everyone present looked at Wu Daru, as if waiting for his "scholar's appointment".

Wu Haogu smiled and said, "It just so happens that there is an opportunity to practice the appointment between scholars in Haizhou."

Haizhou?

What did he want to do? Haizhou is a prefecture in the court! It is not a town, town, city or city below the county. The central government of the Song Dynasty, which cannot be autonomous, basically reached the county, and there are various forms of autonomy below.

Zeng Zhao suddenly understood and looked at Wu Haogu and asked, "Chongdao, are you talking about Haizhou Commercial City?"

The name of "market" in Haizhou Commercial City is called out casually. It may become a market in the future, but now Haizhou Commercial City is actually a place to resettle officials. When the next court quarrels, there will probably be a place where unlucky demoted officials will be occupied...

Wu Haogu said seriously: "It is inappropriate to call the new city in the north of Qushan County a commercial city. Although it was indeed built by a commercial bank there, the main people who will live in the future will be the imperial officials."

"That's right." Zeng Zhao thought for a while, "I have to change my name, Mr. Dongpo, Su Xianggong, what do you think?"

The two Su brothers looked at each other, Su Shi smiled slightly, while Su Zhe frowned, wasn't it that Wu Haogu, the "evil Confucian", was having some bad ideas?

"Why call it Tianya Town." Su Shi sighed and said, "They are both people who have fallen into Tianya. When they meet, they will lose their grudges."

"Okay! Just call it Tianya Town!" Zeng Zhao nodded in agreement.

Wu Haogu said: "The people who have fallen into the world are also dignified scholars and officials! In the future, Tianya Town will be the most concentrated place for all the scholars and officials in the world... This appointment between scholars and officials is better to start with Tianya Town!"

The scholars and officials here frowned.

The place where the demoted officials in Tianya Town should be empty! How could it become the most concentrated place for scholars and officials in the world? How many people have been demoted?

"It should be a "Door of the World"," Su Dongpo said, shaking his fan, "The villagers of the Lv family in Lantian and the merchants of Jiehe Commercial City can choose wise and capable, and the dignified scholars and doctors must be better than them!"

After hearing what his brother said, Su Che thought he should do it.

It is said that scholars, farmers, industry and commerce are led by scholars. Now farmers, industry and commerce have "selected talented people and abilities", but scholars cannot "select talented people and abilities". How can this reflect the nobleness of scholars?

Moreover, "Business Agreement" only means wealth, and "Family Agreement" only means virtue, which is all about one and another. If it is implemented in the world, there will definitely be problems. If a "Scholar Agreement" with both virtue and wealth can be tried in Haizhou, the country will have hope of great governance in the future.

This "Scholar Agreement" is obviously formulated under the guidance of the Sumen Bachelor. Su Che thought: I have been the prime minister and have been well-educated in the Sumen. There are so many bachelors in the Sumen, all of whom have been well-educated in great scholars, and they can also refer to the "Business Agreement" and "Family Agreement" and the best "Scholar Agreement"...
