Daming talker

Chapter 347 You must have a way
With the meeting of the four old giants in the literary world, this literary conference has officially kicked off.

Suddenly, the celebrities arriving in Yangzhou were like crucian carp crossing the river. Of course, they were mainly from the left side of the Yangtze River. No matter how far away they were, they could not catch up.

Moreover, most of them are disciples of the Restore Sect or people who are nominally affiliated with the Restore Sect, and people from other sects do not even bother to participate.

According to incomplete statistics, there are Wang Zhideng, the leader of Suzhou's literary circles, Dong Qichang and Chen Jiru, the twins in the clouds, Hu Yinglin, who is touted as the heir to the academic mantle of Wang Lao leader, Gu Qiyuan, a famous scholar in Jinling, Yin Du, the leading figure in Jiading literary circle, Zou Diguang of Wuxi, bachelor Wang Xijue's son Wang Heng and so on.

Mr. Lin's impression of this is that he only realizes that there are so many celebrities during a conference, and most of them cannot be remembered at ordinary times.

It may also be that they live in different circles, so they have less contact with these celebrities.

Correspondingly, a large number of flower boats sailed out of the Qinhuai River in Jinling and sailed into Yangzhou City, filling the river known as Little Qinhuai in later generations.

After all, "Jingkou Guazhou is separated by water, and Zhongshan is only separated by several mountains." It is very convenient to travel from Nanjing to Yangzhou.

There was one person in the city who didn't care about those celebrities and famous ladies. He only focused all his attention on Lin Daguan, and that was the Fei Yunshi of the Salt Transportation Department.

There was a doubt that kept lingering in Fei Yunshi's mind. Why didn't Lin Tailai appeal?

After the Salt Transportation Department convicted Lin Tailai, Lin Tailai said in court that he would appeal to the Salt Inspectorate.

But until now, Lin Tailai still has not gone to the Salt Inspectorate to appeal, which made Fei Yunshi feel unusual.

In fact, Commander Fei Yun was really looking forward to Lin Tai's appeal, which would put the greatest responsibility on the Salt Inspectorate, and the pressure on the Salt Transportation Department would be much less, at least he wouldn't have to take the blame.

On that day, after Jinling celebrity Gu Qiyuan entered Yangzhou City, he unexpectedly paid a visit to Lin's house without avoiding suspicion and brought a letter from Ma Xianglan, a retired socialite.

Secretary Bai joked: "Such an old woman, you still have unresolved feelings? Do you want me to write a reply for you?"

Official Lin replied: "Ma Ji wrote this letter for her old lover Wang Zhideng. This old man seems to be restless. Ma Ji asked me to help him keep an eye on it."

Secretary Bai covered his mouth and smiled, "What an old man, that's really ugly."

Official Lin was about to use the joke "Old Man" that was widely circulated in later generations to show off, when he suddenly heard a report that Zhang Fengyi was visiting.

Zhang Fengyi came to Yangzhou with Lin Tailai in order to open up the calligraphy and painting market.

It was not convenient for Lin Tailai to have close contacts with Zhang Fengyi in public, so he introduced Lu Junbi, a famous social activist in Yangzhou City, and Wang Yuanwai, a salt merchant leader, to Zhang Fengyi in private.

Then Zhang Fengyi felt like a fish in water, immersed in this new market flowing with milk and honey and couldn't extricate herself.

Lin Tailai has not seen Zhang Fengyi in recent times, and he doesn't know why he suddenly came to visit today.

"Did you know that Wang Yanzhou will hold a cultural conference at Pingshan Hall the day after tomorrow?" Zhang Fengyi asked directly, ignoring the pleasantries.

Lin Tailai replied: "I don't know about the Wenhui. I only know that two hundred saltmen will form two lines of defense at the middle peak of Shugang the day after tomorrow.

The first one is at the stone steps at the bottom of the mountain, and the second one is at the mountain gate at the top, firmly guarding the road leading to Pingshan Hall. In addition, there are one hundred salt dings for mobile support to guard against any possible accidents. "

Zhang Fengyi: "."

Are your concerns, Lin Tailai, always different from others?

Lin Daguan asked strangely: "Then what do you want to say to me?"

Zhang Fengyi added: "Wang Danzhou only invited more than ten people to attend this literary conference. It is said that at the meeting, literary ethics will be discussed and the tone will be set for this Yangzhou Literary Conference!"

Official Lin couldn't help but be in a trance. Could it be that the old alliance leader Wang had also been transported through time?

I actually learned to hold a small meeting to set the tone before holding a general meeting, so as to avoid the situation of talking in different directions in a crowded meeting.

"Old leader, you've learned a lot." Lin Daguan couldn't help but give a thumbs up, and then said without knowing why, "Why are you telling me this?"

Zhang Fengyi gritted his teeth and said: "The biggest problem now is that Wang Danzhou didn't invite me to participate!

My status in Jiangzuo’s literary world, Zhang Fengyi, is that I can’t even get into the top twenty?
Even juniors such as Jiading Yindu and Wuxi Zou Diguang were invited, but Zhang Fengyi was the only one who was excluded? "

Official Lin was still confused, "Aren't you very familiar with the old leader Wang? You should go to the old leader to complain. It's useless to complain here."

Zhang Fengyi asked: "If I can't attend the cultural gathering the day after tomorrow, shouldn't you, Lin Tailai, take responsibility?"

Official Lin: "???" The one who didn't invite you to the meeting was Mr. Wang, the leader of the alliance, not Lin Tailai!
Zhang Fengyi then explained: "Because Wang Danzhou regards me as your ally, he excluded me.

After all, on the Mid-Autumn Festival night last year, the Suzhou literary world split because of you. There was too much commotion, and Wang Danzhou must have known about it. "

Lin Tailai was speechless, "I didn't even receive an invitation, so how can I bring you into the venue?"

Zhang Fengyi said firmly: "I believe you must have a way!"

"Old gentleman, you think too highly of me!" Lin Daguan said casually, "Who do you think those three hundred saltmen guarding the road up the mountain are trying to guard against?"

Zhang Fengyi said sharply: "What Wang Danzhou slapped was not my face, but your Lin Tailai's face.

If I can't show up at the venue, it will be your Lin Tailai's face that I lose!

From now on, everyone in the literary world knows that as long as you get close to you, you will be excluded as a marginal figure!

I don't know what you, Lin Tailai, are thinking, but I definitely wouldn't be able to bear it. "

Official Lin was stunned and couldn't help complaining: "Old sir, you are worthy of being Zhang Youyu's brother. You have [-]% of Zhang Youyu's troublemaking skills."

Zhang Fengyi still believed in it and kept repeating the same sentence: "I believe you must have a way!"

Official Lin had no choice but to sigh: "I am an idle person, but you are forcing me to fight for fame and wealth!"

Then he asked: "There must be many people like you who really want to participate in the Astronomical Society, right?"

Zhang Fengyi was shocked and said, "Can you get more people to attend the meeting?"

Lin Daguan replied: "You can let the word go. As long as you hand over 20 taels at the bottom of the mountain the day after tomorrow, I will be responsible for delivering it to the Pingshan Hall venue!"

Zhang Fengyi opened his eyes wide: "Are you joking?"

Official Lin said: "I, Lin Tailai, have never cheated in my life!"

"I'm going to pull the head, I'm going to kill you!" Zhang Fengyi said very measuredly.

Twenty taels was not cheap, but few of the celebrities who could come to the literary conference were poor.

If you recruit fifty people, it will be 1000 taels, and then divided into 200 taels, which is really a lot.

The day after tomorrow will be the day when Old Leader Wang convenes a literary meeting for the first time.

One difference between this era and later generations is that at public events, sometimes the most important person may not be the last to arrive.

For example, when going to court, the emperor would sit down first, and then let the ministers come to see him.

At today's literary conference, the old leader Wang sat in the main hall of Pingshan Hall early and talked with Cai Shiding, the salt patrol censor who strongly supported the literary conference.

Alliance leader Wang Lao drank tea and said: "Seeing Cai Shiyu's deployment, I made the right choice to choose the venue here."

Mainly because seeing the layers of defenses up and down the mountain, the old alliance leader felt extremely at ease.

When I chose to stay in Pingshan Hall, I also considered the factor of being able to stay safe and prevent people from coming up to cause trouble.

Even if this is just a hillock tens of meters high, it is still a good location. The access road is not wide, and a level with 100 people is enough for defense!

Hearing the thanks from leader Wang, Yushi Cai quickly said a few words of humility, saying that by co-organizing the literary conference, he would also be able to gain fame.

For him who has been away from the center for several years, this is exactly what he needs urgently.

So the two people who arrived early were in a good mood and sat in Pingshan Hall chatting while waiting for the arrival of today's participants.

It was nothing at first, but when the old leader drank the third pot of tea and Wen Siru suffered from diabetes, he finally realized something was wrong.

Where are people? What about the rest?
Although today is a small-scale elite meeting and there are not many participants, it’s not like up to now, no one has shown up, right?

　I don’t have time to write more today, so I set an alarm to wake up at 7 o’clock tomorrow to update, so I treat it as weekend overtime!
