Zhou Fu was a little surprised at first, but when he thought about it, he understood what was going on. He probably was afraid that Wang Lezhi would like to take these fine products collected in the China-Indian Society and wanted to take them for himself, but Zhou Fu did not explain it and waited for the changes.

After Wang Lezhi finished reading it, Wu Yin said: "Does Governor Wang like these collections?"

Wang Lezhi was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that the expressions of these people were wrong. He was not stupid either. He immediately understood and smiled and said, "What does Mr. Qianquan mean? Do you plan to give up?"

Wu Yin gritted his teeth and said, "If the governor likes it, we will naturally..."

Wang Lezhi interrupted him with a smile and said, "A gentleman does not take away the beauty of others. Just collect your collections well. Don't worry about me taking away love. Moreover, we have discipline. How can you do such a thing? Don't mention it again."

It turned out that yesterday, Wang Lezhi decided to visit Xiling Seal Society today, and the gentry in Zhejiang were overjoyed and thought they had a plan. After the reception, the gentry immediately came to Xiling Seal Society and told Ding Fuzhi that Wang Fu'an, Ye Weiming, and Wu Yin that Wang Lezhi would come to visit tomorrow. If he liked the collection, even if he gave it to each other, the gentry would compensate him twice the price afterwards, and at the same time promised to support Xiling Seal Society 10,000 taels of silver.

The four of them struggled with this for a day yesterday. On the one hand, the Xiling Seal Society is indeed short of money. With this 10,000 taels of silver, the financial resources of the Seal Society will be greatly improved. But on the other hand, they are reluctant to leave the collections of the Xiling Seal Society. Several people collect seal calligraphy and paintings not for money, but purely for the sake of money, but for the promotion and development of Chinese culture. But this is not just 10,000 taels of silver. If Governor Wang really likes seal calligraphy and paintings, he will forcefully rob the calligraphy and paintings, but the Xiling Seal Society cannot refuse. So in the end, the four of them thought of a way to mix the collection of fine products in other collections, hoping to get away with Wang Lezhi's attention, and let him choose a few irrelevant collections. Then they knew that Wang Lezhi's eyes were full of attention, and they actually found a few fine products from the collection. The four of them complained in their hearts, but they could not do anything.

However, he didn't expect that Wang Lezhi was a gentleman and did not win people's love, which also made the four of them breathe a sigh of relief. Although he couldn't get the 10,000 taels of silver in the end, he finally saved his collection. Wu Yin said: "Governor Wang is so noble and honest, and we admire him."

Wang Lezhi smiled and said, "Put me a high hat. We are not the Qing court. All the veterans, including other naturalized personnel, are not allowed to rely on their power to oppress civilians. If you find that one is dealing with the other, don't worry, no one dares to think about your collection."

Wu Yin sighed: "I heard for a long time that the nobles are honest and honest, and they are honest and honest. When I see you today, I am indeed worthy of your reputation!"

Ye Weiming also said: "It is indeed the destiny of heaven that can win the world."

Wang Lezhi's way: "What kind of destiny is not destiny? We don't believe in this, we only believe in things by humans. Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. What I said is true or false. You will know in the future, but I still want to see your works, but I don't know if it's convenient."

Wu Yin hurriedly said: "It's convenient, of course it's convenient. Please follow us."

So everyone turned to another house, where they collected works by seal members, of course, mostly four people, and their works were mainly seal letters, seal carving, and calligraphy, and there were also a small number of paintings. Among the four, Wu Yin specialized in seal carving; Wang Fu'an and Ye Weiming were both proficient in seal carving and calligraphy; only Ding Fuzhi was also proficient in painting.

Wang Leyi saw it, but no comments were made. The four of them asked him to correct me, but they also went over. The four of them thought he was unwilling to praise him in person, so they did not force him. No one knew that Wang Lezhi really couldn't comment this time.

After talking for a while, Wang Lezhi said: "I just saw that there are still several buildings in the seal club that are not built, and how many courtyard walls are still blocked with wooden fences. Is it because of insufficient funds?"

When everyone heard this, they looked at each other and didn't know how to answer. Wang Lezhi said: "What's the inconvenience to say? I think that some of them are not rich families. It's probably not easy to maintain such a big stall."

Wu Yin sighed and said, "To be honest, the governor said, the seal club is really difficult now. Those buildings have been suspended because they have no money."

Wang Lezhi nodded, waved to a staff member, inserted a piece of paper from a folder, handed it to Wu Yin, and said, "This is a check of 2,000 silver dollars, which is my personal wish for the Xiling Seal Society."

Wu Yin was stunned for a moment and hurriedly said, "How can we collect money from the governor!"

Wang Lezhidao: "This money is not for you, but for Xiling Seal Society. What you do is very good. Gold and stone, seal carving, calligraphy, and painting are all treasures of my Chinese and must not be lost. It must be carried forward in the hands of our generation. I can't do anything, I can only support some money, which can be regarded as doing my best."

The few people were still hesitating, and Zhou Fu said, "Since it is Governor Wang's sincerity, you don't have to refuse, just take it away."

Wu Yin finally said: "As it is, we are disrespectful, but please rest assured that every cent of this money will be spent on the Xiling Seal Society, and we personally will never take up a cent."

Wang Lezhidao: "I can naturally trust my people. However, my money is just a drop in the bucket for the Xiling Seal Society, not to mention that relying solely on social support is never a long-term solution."

Wu Yin said: "Don't you know what Governor Wang has to say!"

Wang Lezhidao: "I dare not be accused of being a good person. When I was the mayor of Tianjin, I once opened the Tianjin Calligraphy and Painting Academy, which was financed by the government to ensure the operation of the Calligraphy and Painting Academy. However, Xiling Seal Society was founded by four people. Of course, it cannot be copied from the Tianjin Calligraphy and Painting Academy model, but we can negotiate a plan that everyone can accept. I just came to Zhejiang to take office and have many things to deal with. After this time, I will negotiate with a few people. And please rest assured that any plan is based on a complete voluntary basis and will never be forced." He paused and said, "If you are interested, I can invite you to visit the Tianjin Calligraphy and Painting Academy to see the operating model of the Tianjin Calligraphy and Painting Academy, and everyone will discuss it."

Several people looked at each other. Just after hearing Wang Lezhi's talk about the model of Tianjin Calligraphy and Painting Academy, several people became nervous again, afraid that Wang Lezhi would take over the entire Xiling Seal Society. Later, after hearing about it, he negotiated for a while and was completely voluntary, he invited several people to visit Tianjin Calligraphy and Painting Academy to calm down. In fact, how can the government really withdraw money and maintain the operation of Xiling Seal Society, so he hurriedly thanked Wang Lezhi again.

Everyone talked for a while, and Wu Yin said, "I have been waiting for a long time and heard that Governor Wang is proficient in calligraphy. I don't know if I have the honor to ask Governor Wang to leave his words for my Xiling Seal Society."

Ye Weiming also said: "Yes, yes, I want to see Governor Wang's Mobao."

Wang Lezhi laughed and said, "Okay, thanks to everyone's kindness, I have to show my ugly words. But compared to everyone, I really can't make any moves. Please don't laugh at me."

Wu Yin hurriedly ordered people to prepare pen, ink, paper and inkstone, spread a piece of snow-white rice paper on a long table. Wang Lezhi stood at the desk, picked up a large pen, dipped it ink, and first tried to write a few strokes on the test paper, and then waved it on the paper, writing two sentences, "How can you get thousands of houses to shelter all the poor men and women from all over the place to be happy." After writing, he was still a little unsatisfied, and wrote another five words, "The ploughing one has its own fields." Another small white cloud, left his name on the two characters, took out his seal and stamped it, and then smiled and said, "I'm offering ugliness, I'm offering ugliness."

Although Wang Lezhi's career has been in office for many years, he has never missed his calligraphy practice, so his skills are still as good as before. Moreover, as he matured and became an official for many years, his characters have become less elegant and elegant, and more calm and heavy. Wu Yin and others are all experts. You can tell at a glance that Wang Lezhi's calligraphy has at least 20 years of experience. Although he still cannot reach the level of a famous artist, he is still not a common level of playing. He is also a masterpiece in the seal club.

Moreover, the content of these two characters is reasonable. The first one is taken from Du Fu's long temple [Song of the Thatched Hut is broken by the autumn wind], which expresses the poet's feelings of worrying about the country and the people, while the second one is one of the most ideal Datong society in China's feudal era. From the fact that he is the government official of Wang Lezhi and the identity of the governor of Zhejiang, writing these two characters can also express his ambition. It can be said that both calligraphy and intention are very appropriate, so Wu Yin and others also praised it, with good words and sentences.

Only Zhou Fu understood that Wang Lezhi's two words written by him meant that the drunkard was not wine. The latter one was "The farmer has his own fields", which was obviously for the gentry in Zhejiang to see, so that they knew that land reform was imperative and could not be changed. It turned out that Wang Lezhi's intention to visit the Xiling Seal Society was here.

At this time, Wu Yin had asked someone to take down these two characters, frame them immediately, and hang them in the room of the members' works. Then he thanked Wang Lezhi again.

Wang Lezhi continued: "Everyone, the rise and fall of the country is based on the people. We go from returning from overseas to ambition to winning the world, just to make the Chinese people live a life of food and clothing without worries. These two words are actually our goal."

Ye Weiming hurriedly said: "We are deeply impressed by our people and the people's sufferings, and the dangers of China."

Wang Lezhi nodded and said, "In order to promote Chinese traditional culture, this is naturally excellent. But I see that all seal carvings, calligraphy, and paintings are mostly about cherishing spring and singing the wind and snow. Of course, there are also instinctive intentions to cultivate oneself and achieve far-reaching goals, but there are few works that express the sufferings of the people, the style of society, artistic creation, spring and white snow, and the people are indispensable. Therefore, I hope that your future creations will be closer to life, reflect society, and create more for the people."

After hearing this, Wu Yin and others felt a little ashamed. Wang Lezhi's statement was indeed correct. In fact, these people's origins are not considered wealthy. Ye Weiming and Ding Fuzhi are just a well-off family, and Wu Yin was even more from a poor family and started as an apprentice. However, after becoming famous, they often deal with wealthy people. Therefore, they naturally tend to be wealthy families in their creations. They do not pay attention to the sufferings of the people and the social style. Wang Lezhi's calligraphy may not be as good as them, but his mind and demeanor are actually far above everyone else.

Ye Weiming gave a deep tribute and said, "Thank you, Governor Wang, for your advice, I am ashamed of you."
