The Ming Dynasty's Spokesperson

With the announcement of the organizational plan of the New Literary League, the literary conference set off a real climax.

Those who came to attend the literary conference would never have imagined that the climax of this conference would actually occur in the last few days.

But while many people were competing for titles such as deputy leader, director, deputy secretary-general, and research association president and vice-president, Lin Daguan, who was at the center of the storm, entered a period of psychological burnout.

This is normal. Human nerves cannot remain excited forever. After completing high-intensity operations, it is easy to feel tired.

In the past ten days, Lin Daguan had been in a highly stressful working state. Not only did he have to devote a lot of energy to socializing, but he also had to constantly receive and analyze a large amount of information.

When we arrived at the main meeting of the Humble Administrator's Garden, we had to do the work personally, which consumed a lot of energy bars.

So after the main meeting, when he returned to the Lin Mansion from the Humble Administrator's Garden, Lin Tailai called over the three new recruits, Gu Bingqian, Qian Shiyang, and Zhou Daodeng.

He also ordered: "In the next five days, you are responsible for drawing up a list of positions in the New Literary and Art League and then handing it over to me."

The three new disciples looked confused. Could they, the disciples, do such a crucial job?

In order to compete for positions, the literati outside have to follow Lin's example and use martial arts to enter Taoism!

And Lin Zuotuan asked these three new disciples to be responsible for drafting such an important list?

The three of them have become unknown people who have taken refuge in the Lin Mansion as their disciples. Are they worthy of it?

Lin Tailai yawned and said, "This list is not as important as you think, as long as the first deputy leader is me."

This was a major event in the literary world, and the three of them did not dare to mess around. They asked together: "Who exactly should I write about? Please give me specific instructions from the proprietor."

Lin Tailai said impatiently: "If I have to make every detail, what else do you, the disciples, do?"

After thinking about it, he gave some instructions: "I won't mention the specific names, but I will give you a few standards.

In principle, the deputy leader must have national or cross-regional reputation, or be a leading figure in the four key places of Shandong, Zhejiang, Huguang, Jiangsu and Zuo.

The directors choose those local celebrities who are well-known and can have appeal within the province or several counties.

Feng Shike is appointed as the general secretary-general. In principle, the deputy secretary-general should choose someone who is enthusiastic about literary affairs, has great mobility, and has a wealthy family.

It doesn’t matter who the president or vice-president of each research association is, it’s up to you to choose!

All in all, I trust you when you employ people! "

The three people looked at each other. They had never gained such huge "power" in their lives. It seemed that deleting or adding a name could determine the rise or fall of a famous person's reputation.

Something called "the grace of knowing someone" suddenly grew in my heart.

"Go, go! Don't disturb my rest!" After Lin Tailai finished explaining, he asked the three of them to leave.

Standing in the vestibule of the Lin Mansion's middle courtyard, Gu Bingqian suddenly said: "I understand! This is the test the proprietor has given us!

If you can't even do this little thing well in the eyes of the proprietor, it will be difficult for you to take on a big job in the future. "

Qian Shiyang and Zhou Daodeng agreed, otherwise they would not be able to explain why Lin Zuiguan entrusted them with such a special task.

There were still some words that Gu Bingqian didn't say. He felt that Lin's behavior was like a lazy emperor who threw all the trivial government affairs to the cabinet.

Perhaps Lin Zuiguan believes that the literati around him all have selfish motives related to their own interests, and only the three of them have no selfish motives for the New Literary and Art League?

Lin Tailai distributed the trivial matters and was just about to return to the inner courtyard to rest when he heard the report that Teacher Zhang Youyu Zhang was here.

However, due to the appearance of "respecting teachers and respecting morality", Lin Daguan could only work hard and meet Teacher Zhang.

Zhang Youyu, wearing a big-headed doll mask, entered the study and sat directly on the threshold. Don't ask why, ask just the celebrity personality.

"Good disciple! Now the literary world belongs to our master and disciple! As the number one celebrity in Suzhou City and your teacher, I think I should be a deputy leader." Zhang Youyu said.

Official Lin said awkwardly: "The deputy alliance mainly represents the local image. Teacher, your image is not good."

Zhang Youyu took off the big-headed doll mask, looked down at the colorful dress on his body, and then at the straw sandals with his toes exposed, and asked doubtfully: "What's wrong with my image? Why can't it work?"

Lin Daguanren: ""

If Teacher Zhang hadn't had a student named Lin Tailai, he would have been beaten to death long ago!

After thinking about it, Lin Daguan could only say: "But there is someone else in front of the teacher who is more suitable to be the deputy leader than you."

Zhang Youyu stood up and said fiercely: "Who is it? Wang Laodeng?

At that time, Wang Laodeng relied on the support of the Wen family to suppress me. Could it be that you also supported Wang Laodeng? "

Unable to reason with the crazy Teacher Zhang, Lin Daguan quickly diverted the trouble, "Teacher, have you forgotten your brother Zhang Fengyi? According to the order of brothers, your brother must have priority!"

Zhang Youyu turned around and left after hearing this, and left without even saying hello.

Official Lin breathed a sigh of relief and was just about to leave the study when he saw Gao Changjiang standing furtively outside the door.

"You'd better have something serious to do." Lin Tailai said.

Gao Changjiang took a few steps forward and said cautiously: "I have followed Zuoguan for many years, and I have both merit and hard work.

I believe that I should have a seat on the board of directors of the New Literary and Art League this time. "

Lin Daguan was so angry, "Old Gao, Lao Gao, when did you have this hallucination and feel that you are a literary figure?"

Although there are probably dozens of director positions, which seems to be "universally beneficial", when you think about how many provinces, prefectures, states, and counties there are in the world, dozens don't seem to be too many.

Therefore, those who can serve as directors, that is, those who can sit in the big tent at the main meeting, are at least second- and third-rate celebrities with certain local influence and literary reputation.

So, do you, Gao Changjiang, have any literary reputation to speak of in the Suzhou literary world? Is it worth occupying a director position?

Gao Changjiang actually didn't persist, and instead said: "I have another request. Now that there are more and more writers writing novels, I think it is necessary to set up a story-telling novel research group in the New Literary League."

"Is this necessary?" Lin Tailai said disapprovingly.

Gao Changjiang said again: "Sit here, if you don't master the academic knowledge of Huaben novels, it is inevitable that someone will use Huaben novels to blackmail you in the future!

If you think about the images of Taishi Pan and Taishi Pang, you will know that story-telling novels play an important role in public opinion! "

Hearing this, Lin Daguan suddenly felt a sense of crisis.

I have made so many enemies, and my style of doing things is often like that of a villain. I am full of legends. They are all natural materials for novels!

Don’t be regarded as a traitor in a story novel. Thinking of this, Mr. Lin immediately expressed his stance:

??????55.??????

"You are right, the academic research on story-telling novels is very important, and a research group on story-telling novels should indeed be established in the New Literary League!"

Gao Changjiang further said: "In order to control the discourse power of the story novels, it is not too much for me, a politically reliable and academically professional person, to be the president, right?"

"It's not too much." Lin Daguan nodded and said.

Gao Changjiang pressed forward and said: "Then since I have become the president of a research association, is it not too much to match up with a director of the New Literary and Art League?"

After making a big circle, we are back to where we started.

The tired Lin Tailai was too lazy to think about it and said casually: "It's okay to promote positive energy in the storybook novel."

As a horse rider, Gao Changjiang has finally made progress and knows how to deliver words in a roundabout way.

In the past, he would have insisted on asking for benefits.

After sending Gao Changjiang away, Lin Daguan could finally go back to the inner courtyard to sleep.

The next day, when Senior Official Lin opened his eyes, he heard a report saying that Zhang Fengyi and Wen Yuanfa were already waiting outside.

Official Lin went out to meet the guests. Seeing the tired look on Zhang Fengyi's face, he chuckled and said, "It seems that Mr. Lingxu was troubled by his younger brother, Teacher Youyu, last night?"

Zhang Fengyi didn't dare to complain, and just said: "It's my duty to help you share your worries. When I came here today, I actually have another matter to ask for advice."

Official Lin said in surprise: "What else can happen? Do you still want to be the leader of the alliance?"

"No, no!" Zhang Fengyi replied quickly: "I heard Gao Changjiang said that a new research group could be added, so I thought about adding a calligraphy and painting research group."

As the largest trader in Suzhou's calligraphy and painting market, it is normal for Zhang Fengyi to have this idea.

Previously, no one had thought of adding new research groups, especially within their own professional fields, but Gao Changjiang took the initiative, and Zhang Fengyi wanted to follow suit.

We have had good cooperation over the years, and Lin Daguan doesn't mind giving Zhang Fengyi face on this issue.

"That's okay. Do you want to be the president?" Lin Tailai agreed.

Zhang Fengyi smiled "hehe" and said nothing.

Being the largest calligraphy and painting businessman and the president of the Painting and Calligraphy Research Association is a lot of fun.

At this time, Wen Yuanfa, the head of the Wen family next to him, suddenly interjected: "If there is a calligraphy and painting research association, I would also be willing to contribute as the president."

Originally Wen Yuanfa came here for other reasons, but when he heard Zhang Fengyi proposed setting up a calligraphy and painting research group, he couldn't help but want to grab it.

There were actually some who jumped out to pick fruits. Zhang Fengyi immediately glared at Wen Yuan!

Wen Yuanfa was not afraid. He was Wen Zhengming's direct grandson and inherited the Wen family's painting skills. So what if he was the president of the calligraphy and painting research association?

In terms of personal relationship, Lin Tailai is of course closer to Zhang Fengyi, but Lin Tailai is very curious, why does Wen Yuanfa dare to steal Zhang Fengyi's fruit?

So he said to Wen Yuanfa: "After all, Mr. Lingxu proposed the calligraphy and painting research association first. If there is no special reason, Mr. Lingxu should be the first to be the president."

Wen Yuanfa said: "Because I am more suitable than Zhang Lingxu."

Lin Tailai asked: "What is suitable?"

Wen Yuanfa replied: "You should have heard of the Xiang family in Jiaxing, right? The Xiang family has a collection of many famous paintings.

I am quite familiar with Xiang Yuanbian, the head of the Xiang family. I can bring him over to be the vice president. It will also be convenient to borrow famous paintings for study in the future. "

"Mr. Wen! You are the president of the calligraphy and painting research association!" Lin Daguan said decisively without hesitation.

Wen Yuanfa was secretly happy. This time he came to visit Lin Mansion, he didn't expect such a huge gain.

If I become the president, my grandfather Wen Zhengming's historical status will be higher in the future, and his paintings and calligraphy will be more valuable.

Zhang Fengyi's old face collapsed instantly. Even if he got the vice president of the Calligraphy and Painting Research Association, it could not soothe his soul.

Lin Daguan also felt a little sorry, so he compensated Zhang Fengyi and said, "If it doesn't work, let's set up another opera research association and let you be the president."

After all, in addition to being a calligraphy and painting dealer, Zhang Fengyi is also one of the top opera masters today.

Zhang Fengyi still sighed, the Opera Research Association could not help make money, and the livelihood of the entire Zhang family rested on his shoulders!

Lin Daguan advised: "You should be satisfied! The deputy leader, the president of the Opera Research Association and the vice president of the Calligraphy and Painting Research Association, I'm afraid no one has more titles than you!"

Then he said to Wen Yuanfa: "Mr. Wen, come here. Is there anything else?"

He could see that Wen Yuanfa's attempt to snatch the president of the academy's research association was purely a temporary move, and there must have been other things.

At this time, Wen Yuanfa was a little embarrassed to open his mouth. After hesitating for a moment, he said:

"My original intention was to say a few words to Wang Zhideng. After all, he is known as the world's best civilian poet and the former leader of the Suzhou literary circle. He should represent Suzhou City as a deputy leader."

Lin Tailai said calmly: "But Suzhou City can't have several deputy leaders, right? This is the New Literary League of the world, not the New Literary League of Suzhou.

Besides, there is already Mr. Zhang Fengyi and Zhu Yu in front, so it is indeed difficult to add another deputy leader from Suzhou. "

If he hadn't won the title of president of the calligraphy and painting research association, Wen Yuanfa could still have said a few words to Wang Zhideng.

In terms of qualifications alone, Wang Zhideng is indeed more qualified than Zhang Fengyi to represent the Suzhou literary world.

But now that Wen Yuanfa is in a state of short-mouthed eating, it is difficult to continue to open his mouth.

Lin Daguan finally decided to say: "Mr. Wen, go back and tell Wang Zhideng that he is still young, after all, he is only in his fifties!

This time, give the opportunity to the seniors first! He will have another chance in the future! "

Zhang Fengyi is more than ten years older than Wang Zhideng. This is the age advantage. There is nothing wrong with the senior!

"Then let's do it." Wen Yuanfa stopped talking. It would be great to have a reason to go back and explain to Wang Laodeng.

Compared with Wang Laodeng's false reputation as deputy leader, the value of his grandfather Wen Zhengming's calligraphy and painting is more important.

The literary world is not just about fighting and killing, it is also full of all kinds of human feelings and sophistication.

After sending Zhang Fengyi and Wen Yuanfa away, Lin Tailai suddenly felt like he was talking about meritorious deeds and dividing the earth.

From last night to this morning, in just a short period of time, there have been three study groups on story-telling novels, calligraphy and painting, and opera.

A person who really rides on a horse will achieve enlightenment, and chickens and dogs will ascend to heaven!

If this continues, we won’t even have a study group for each of the Four Books and Five Classics, right?

No, the Four Books and Five Classics Research Society is absolutely not allowed. That belongs to the academic field, not the literary and artistic field.

Moreover, the academic field is the strength of Donglin Party members, and Lin Daguan has no academic talent.

Therefore, setting up a research association on scriptures and meanings can easily be infiltrated by enemies, so vigilance is essential at all times!
