Chapter 2101 Investigating things to know Wang Yangming
There is an extremely prominent family in Yuyao, Zhejiang—the Wang family!
The Wang family was originally a prominent family in Yuyao, with a scholarly family and a family of officials. By the generation of Wang Hua and Wang Shouren, it had reached its peak.
Wang Hua became the number one scholar and became the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs in Nanjing. Although Wang Shouren was not the number one scholar, he was still second in the rankings, and he was promoted to the first minister of the cabinet. Both father and son can be said to be talented and highly respected. They have achieved what ancient literati did.
Extremely.
Throughout the thousands of years of Chinese history, there have been few such father-son combinations. Today, only Yang Tinghe and Yang Shen and his son can be compared to each other, but they are still slightly inferior.
In addition to the huge influence of the Wang family and his son in the officialdom, the Wang family also has a huge influence in the business world. Caiyun Textile Factory, which Wang Shouren founded to study industry and factories, has already become a
Became the leader of Ming Dynasty's textile industry.
Caiyun Textile Factory owns dozens of large factories, employing more than 300,000 workers. It also owns dozens of large cotton plantations in the Western Regions, Hezhong, Nanyun, Tianzhu, East Africa and other places. In Central Asia Province
, Hezhong Province, the Western Regions, Australia, and Huanghuangzhou have dozens of large pastures that specialize in breeding fine breeds of sheep to produce wool.
Caiyun Textile Factory is involved in many fields such as clothes, shoes, textiles, printing and dyeing, cloth, chemical fibers, etc., and it is a leader and leading enterprise in these fields.
Even in the past ten years, the Wang family's industry has begun to involve machinery manufacturing, automobile industry, petrochemical industry, rubber and real estate and other fields. Although it is not a leader in these fields, the scale is not small, and the business is getting bigger and bigger.
The Wang family is a typical representative of the transformation from a traditional scholarly family to a new type of capitalist. It not only has huge influence in the court, but also has huge economic interests in the business world.
Yuyao is the hometown and old base of the Wang family. The Wang family's mansion is naturally very grand and grand. It not only has the scholarly atmosphere of a traditional scholarly family, but also reflects the nouveau riche atmosphere of a new type of capitalist.
Deep inside the Wang family's mansion, in Wang Shouren's study.
At this moment, Wang Shouren was looking at the bamboos outside in a daze. Wang Shouren had actually been studying the mind. When he was young, he once looked at bamboos and stared at them in a daze for several days. In the end, he got nothing. On the contrary, everyone
fall sick.
From then on, he began to have great doubts about the study of mind. In the years since then, Wang Shouren has continued to study the study of mind in depth based on what he has learned, thought and considered.
At this age, Wang Shouren looked at the bamboo outside the window, and his perception of life was different again.
"In the unity of knowledge and action, I am still far behind Liu Jinlai!"
After a long time, Wang Shouren sighed and said.
After studying mind science for many years, he finally came up with the core idea of "unity of knowledge and action", and he has been working hard to achieve this for many years.
"Father!"
At this time, Wang Zhengxian, Wang Shouren's son, came over. Wang Zhengxian was the son of Wang Shouren's younger brother. Since Wang Shouren had no heirs, he adopted a son from his younger brother. Who knew that a few years ago, Wang Shouren's concubine gave birth to another son?
Wang Shouren gave birth to a son.
Wang Zhengxian's identity and status are a bit embarrassing, but Wang Shouren has always attached great importance to his training. However, Wang Zhengxian is not very successful, and the imperial examination has not gone smoothly, so he gradually became responsible for managing the Wang family's huge industry.
.
In the management of the industry, the business is sound and impressive. With the talent of Zhejiang people in doing business, the Wang family's industry is managed in an orderly manner and the scale is getting bigger and bigger.
"Zhengxian!"
Wang Shouren came back to his senses and said with a smile: "What's the matter?"
"Father, it's been almost a year since your filial piety period expired. If you don't return to Beijing, it will be very difficult..."
Wang Zhengxian did not speak too eloquently. In fact, the meaning was very simple, that is, Wang Shouren should return to the capital as soon as possible to establish his presence in front of the emperor, so that the emperor can remember you and arrange a good position for you.
"What are you afraid of?"
Wang Shouren smiled and said: "It's rare to have time to relax, read a book and think about something."
"If you are in the court and busy all day long with state affairs, how can you be as leisurely as you are now?"
"What's more, I don't have a suitable location when I go back now. It would be better to wait until I find a suitable location to go back."
"What father said makes sense!"
When Wang Zhengxian heard this, he quickly said.
"Master, Master, there's a call from Beijing!"
While the two were discussing matters in the capital, the housekeeper hurriedly came over with a telegram.
"Um!"
Wang Shouren received the telegram and read it very quickly.
The telegram was sent from Liu Jin in the capital. It mentioned two things. The first thing was to ask Wang Shouren to pay attention to his lung disease and use penicillin to treat it. Don't delay and treat it early.
The second thing is to ask Wang Shouren to go north and return to Beijing as soon as possible. There will soon be a new position available in the imperial court.
"Will penicillin cure my lung disease?"
Looking at the telegram sent by Liu Jin, Wang Shouren thought for a moment.
Wang Shouren died of lung disease in history, and in the past two years, his lung disease worsened and he eventually died of the disease.
Liu Jin, who had traveled through time, obviously knew this, so he also specially warned Wang Shouren. Who didn't know what kind of lung disease Wang Shoude had?
But penicillin has miraculous effects in treating various lung diseases. It is hard to say whether giving it a try might help Lao Wang live a few more years.
For an outstanding person like Wang Shouren, Liu Jin admired him from the bottom of his heart and naturally hoped that Lao Wang could live a few more years.
As for Yang Tinghe, a new position in the imperial court will soon be vacant. Yang Tinghe's health is getting worse and worse. He is often ill and cannot go to court.
There is no way, people who have reached the age of seventy are rare in ancient times. There are not many people who can live to the age of seventy. Often, by the time they reach seventy, most of them will not be able to survive.
Historically, Yang Tinghe also died of illness next year, and this year he was basically too ill to work in the government.
"Father, I've also heard that this penicillin is miraculous in treating lung disease. We won't give it a try."
Wang Zhengxian thought for a while and said.
"Okay, let's get someone over later."
Wang Shouren thought for a while and nodded in agreement.
As I get older, my whole body begins to fail. Although I am recuperating at home, I still have lung disease. I have a bad cough. When it is severe, it is very difficult to breathe.
I have seen a doctor, but traditional Chinese medicine has not been very good at treating lung diseases. Only after the emergence of penicillin can it have a good effect on treating various lung diseases.
"Father, Mr. Liu cares so much about you, should we send some gifts to Mr. Liu?"
Wang Zhengxian on the side thought for a while and asked.
"No, he never accepts gifts, he is a true gentleman!"
Wang Shouren shook his head and said: "Compared to Liu Jin, I am still far behind. He is the one who truly practices the combination of knowledge and action."
Wang Zhengxian listened to Wang Shouren's sigh and remained silent.
There are very few people that Wang Shouren can admire, and Liu Jin is definitely one of them.
I can often hear Wang Shouren sighing about this, and Wang Shouren will often tell me some things about Liu Jin.
[To be honest, I have been using Yeguo to read and catch up on books recently. I can switch sources and read aloud with many sounds. www. Android and Apple are available.]
In Wang Shouren's words, Liu Jin is a descendant of a saint, a capable person and a great man through the ages. The Ming Dynasty can achieve today's prosperous age, and Liu Jin definitely deserves the most credit.
Although sometimes Wang Shouren would inevitably complain that the letters written by Liu Jin were too plain, this did not hinder Wang Shouren's admiration for Liu Jin.
"Get ready. I will return to Beijing in a few days."
Wang Shouren looked at the bamboo outside again, thinking a lot.
"I don't know what Liu Jin is thinking about now?"
