The welcome ceremony for Wang Le ended very successfully, and everyone felt that they had gained a lot.

Then Zhou Fu and the officials who were greeting brought Wang Leyi to the office location of the provincial government, which was actually the original Zhejiang Governor's Office, and now it is the temporary office location of the provincial government.

After Wang Lezhi took office, he recruited officials from the provincial government, said a few brief words, introduced the staff he led to them, and arranged their office positions. Then he met with officials from all over Zhejiang. Of course, they were basically still local officials from the former Qing court. Even if there were local officials who were unwilling to stay in office, they would select people from the local officials to act as agent. Wang Lezhi first affirmed everyone's work in the past period, praised everyone for maintaining local stability, and expressed that these achievements were not forgotten by the East China Government, and then told them that the successor officials would take office one after another, requiring everyone to do a good job in handing over to ensure that local power balance was excessive, and that their way out was arranged, so there was no need to worry.

In fact, these people have been prepared for this. After all, once the day comes, the officials of Zhejiang have changed their flags, so local officials will naturally have to be replaced by people from the East China Government. It was because of Japan's threat to ensure the stability of Zhejiang Province that all the original officials were retained. Now that the crisis has been lifted, it is natural for new local officials to take office. Therefore, the Qing officials who had been temporarily remained accepted the reality very calmly. If they can stay, they will stay. If they cannot stay, they will go back to their hometown to be an ordinary citizen.

The next work is of course the handover from the provincial government. Zhou Fu has prepared all the relevant information, so he immediately started handover. Of course, the inspection, recording, signing and other work of the information is completed by staff. Wang Lezhi is not needed, so Zhou Fu does it himself, but Zhou Fu still needs to report the relevant situation to Wang Lezhi briefly.

After listening to Zhou Fu's report, Wang Lezhi said: "I don't know what Mr. Zhou has plans for his next step!"

Zhou Fu said: "Of course, it is up to the government's arrangements."

Wang Lezhi laughed and said, "Mr. Zhou's work in Zhejiang is obvious to all during this period, so we will naturally not forget it. I just don't know if Mr. Zhou wants to work in Qingdao or still stay in Zhejiang to work."

After hearing this, Zhou Fu had several thoughts in his mind. From his heart, of course he hoped to stay in Zhejiang, because after going to Qingdao, he would definitely be appointed to a free position. Li Jingfang had waited for several years to find a position in the Foreign Affairs Committee, and stayed in Zhejiang, and could do some practical things. Bi Jing himself worked in Zhejiang for many years and was familiar with the situation. However, can the East China Government be assured that he is in Zhejiang? Is Wang Lezhi testing himself? So he finally said: "I am willing to obey the arrangements of the government."

Wang Lezhi nodded, and did not bother about this issue anymore, saying, "Is it Mr. Zhou who arranged for Wang Fu'an and Wu Yin to pick me up today?"

Zhou Fu felt nervous and hurriedly said, "No, they were invited by the gentry from Zhejiang, and they heard that the governor was proficient in calligraphy and painting and admired the famous name for a long time, so they came to welcome the governor."

Wang Lezhi laughed again and said, "It seems that my reputation is quite good, even Zhejiang knows it."

Zhou Fu's heart was shocked again. He didn't know what Wang Lezhi meant. After thinking for a while, he said, "Don't the governor also know the name of the Xiling Seal Society! This is also a good intention for the gentry in Zhejiang."

Wang Lezhi said: "Yes, it's really good intentions. And I'm really a famous person who has heard of the name of Xiling Seal Society for a long time. When I came to Zhejiang, I had long wanted to meet Xiling Seal Society, but I didn't expect to meet it as soon as I came."

Zhou Fu was also a little puzzled. Although Xiling Seal Society mainly studies gold and stone seal paintings, Wang Fu'an, Wu Yin and others are famous artists in seal carving, calligraphy and painting, they are now just an ordinary club. Even if Wang Lezhi likes calligraphy, there is no need to pay so much attention to Xiling Seal Society. And at the wharf, I agreed that I would visit Xiling Seal Society tomorrow, which is not the intention.

At this time, Wang Lezhi said again: "Today I was at the dock and Wu Yin agreed to go to Xiling Seal Society tomorrow. If Mr. Zhou has time, he might as well accompany me to enjoy their collection."

Zhou Fu hurriedly said: "Yes, I am willing to accompany the governor."

There was nothing to say that night. The next morning, Wang Lezhi and Zhou Fu took several staff members and guards and set off together to Xiling Seal Society.

Xiling Seal Society is located at the southern foot of Gushan Mountain in Hangzhou, from Baidi to the east, close to Xiling Bridge to the west, close to Xiling Bridge to the north, and close to West Lake to the south. It covers an area of ​​7,090 square meters and has a construction area of ​​1,750 square meters. The Seal Society buildings are not a traditional vertical and horizontal pattern, but are arranged in an orderly manner due to the height of the mountains, with pavilions and towers in an orderly manner, which can be regarded as a masterpiece of Jiangnan gardens. The main buildings are all hanging plaques and couplets, and outdoor cliffs are lined with stones, and famous people's ink traces can be seen. In the old time and space, it was also one of the famous attractions in Hangzhou.

Wang Lezhi visited Xiling Seal Society many times in the old time and space, and was very familiar with it. However, after arriving, Wang Lezhi was very disappointed because the Xiling Seal Society in the old time and space was a regional building left in its heyday. However, the Xiling Seal Society has just been established, and the regional buildings are less than half of the old time and space. In this half of the area, there are still many buildings that have not been built at all. Several buildings are equipped with wooden frames, but no one has built them. Many of the courtyard walls are still surrounded by wooden fences.

It turns out that although the four founders of Xiling Seal Society, Ding Fuzhi, Wang Fu'an, Ye Weiming, and Wu Yin were all famous masters in seal carving, calligraphy and painting in this era, they lived a wealthy life and had no worries about food and clothing, they still couldn't catch them if they wanted to establish Xiling Seal Society. Although they relied on the reputation of four people in the industry, recruited some colleagues and prepared some funds, they could only make the Xiling Seal Society reach its current scale. After all, in addition to buying mountains and establishing houses and building pavilions, they also had to collect calligraphy and paintings of all dynasties. Seals were all cost money, and these four people could not bear it.

In the old time and space, when Xiling Seal Society was established for 10 years, it elected its first president. None of the four founders were elected. Instead, Wu Changshuo, a master of modern Chinese art, became the first president of Xiling Seal Society. It was not only because Wu Changshuo was a master of art in a generation and had a great reputation than four, but only Wu Changshuo could attract support better.

Sure enough, after Wu Changshuo became president, the Xiling Seal Society ushered in a period of great development. On the one hand, it attracted a large number of famous artists in seal carving, calligraphy and painting to join the society, and on the other hand, it also attracted support from many well-known people. Sheng Xuanhuai, Zhang Jian, Kang Youwei and others all contributed to the Xiling Seal Society, which allowed the Xiling Seal Society to have sufficient funds to expand the scale. At the same time, it collected and stored calligraphy, paintings and seals of all dynasties. It was not until the 30 years after the establishment of the society that it basically reached the scale of the old time and space.

At this time, Ding Fuzhi, Wang Fu'an, Ye Weiming, and Wu Yin also led other members to welcome Wang Lezhi's arrival at the door of Xiling Seal Society.

After the two sides met, they were polite to each other. Wu Yin hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, we have also admired Governor Wang's name for a long time. We are proficient in calligraphy and have the spirit of a great master. Today, Governor Wang visited our club and made our club prosperous and glorious."

The others hurriedly agreed and said, "Yes! Yes!"

Wang Lezhi smiled and said, "Sir, although I like to write a few words randomly, I know that I am a name for myself. I really don't dare to do the word "Everyone". Compared with you, I am even more unmatched. In fact, I have been famous for a long time. Today I came to Xiling Seal Society. I am not a governor, but an ordinary person who makes friends with my name, so everyone doesn't have to be tight."

At this time, Zhou Fu smiled and said, "Everyone doesn't have to be polite. Let's go in first."

Wu Yin came to his senses and hurriedly said, "It's really rude. Please come in, please come in." As he said that, he wiped his sweat.

Wang Lezhi didn't care, but thought that Wu Yin was too nervous when he saw that there were not many officials, so he followed Wu Yin and walked into the Xiling Seal Society.

First of all, we naturally visited the landscape buildings in the club. Although the scale of the club is not large now, it covers an area of ​​more than 3,000 square meters. The conception and layout are quite exquisite. Although the small garden scenery in the club is not large, it is very elegant. At this time, there were only 13 or 4 buildings in the club, and they were built along the mountain, staggered and arranged. They vaguely had a bit of the charm of the heyday.

Whenever he went to a landscape, Wang Lezhi would comment a few times. Of course, these comments were all seen when he visited the Xiling Seal Society in the old time and space, but at this time they all pointed out the essence of the landscape in a perfect way. Then Wang Lezhi suggested to everyone the future expansion of the Xiling Seal Society and the landscape that should be added. Ding Fuzhi, Wang Fu'an, Ye Weiming, Wu Yin and others were also very impressed when they heard that this person had a little bit of a grave. It turned out that everyone heard that Wang Lezhi liked calligraphy and painting, and thought that he was just a ritual and elegant person, but now looking at his conversation, he was not an ordinary person.

After visiting the landscape buildings in the club, we will naturally look at the collections collected by the Seal Society and the works of the members. In the old time and space, the Xiling Seal Society collected more than 12,000 cultural relics, including more than 6,000 calligraphy, paintings, seals, and 107 national first-class cultural relics, including fine products. However, at this time, the Xiling Seal Society was in its early stages, with not many collections, and few fine products, but there were also a few. Of course, in the old time and space, the Xiling Seal Society's fine collection Wang Lezhi had visited a long time ago, and he also bought several booklets. Therefore, he quickly pointed out these fine products from the collection, and evaluated the era, author, style characteristics of these fine products one by one.
