Xia Yan straightened his clothes, bowed straightly and said, "Meet Wang Shangshu!"
"Are you Xia Gongjin? Why do you practice discipleship?" Wang Yuan asked.
Xia Yan said calmly: "Although Bucai has not joined the School of Physics, he has also studied the two books "Mathematics" and "Physics". Since he has been taught by the teacher, he should be a disciple. I am afraid that I will fall into the trap of the teacher because I am stupid." Because of his reputation, he dare not call himself a student."
Wang Yuan, a novice in history, only knew Yan Song like a thunderbolt, but didn't know much about Xia Yan, but he seemed to have heard of this name. He asked: "In what year did he become a Jinshi?"
Xia Yan reported to his family: "In the twelfth year of Zhengde's reign, he was a Jinshi. His seat teacher is Mr. Jie'an (Jin Gui), and his room teacher is Mr. An Ya (Huang Chen)."
"Sit down." Wang Yuan smiled.
No wonder he has been an official for eleven years and is still in the seventh grade.
Xia Yan's tutor, Jin Gui, had been ill for many years before he became an official, and had not interfered with court affairs for a long time. Huang Chen, his tutor, was also an official gangster. He only knew about literary creation all day long, and he had been a public official for many years. These are innocuous problems, and the only saving grace is that they are as clean as water.
Xia Yan has a bad temper and can't help but flatter the powerful. It's normal for him to have wasted his time so far.
It was precisely because of the wasted time that Xia Yan began to reflect on himself. He put aside his reserve and came to follow Wang Yuan. He was willing to be a shameless bitch. He was a Jinshi at the bottom of the third rank and was first awarded the official position of the eighth rank. He had no one to support him. Don't move!
Xia Yan sat upright, like a primary school student waiting for the teacher to correct his homework.
Wang Yuan took the letter and asked: "Since the White Lotus demon has been discovered and the local case is different, why don't you just write a memorial and submit it to the General Affairs Department?"
This question is difficult to answer. If you are not careful, you will leave in Wang Yuan's mind the image of a hypocritical villain who clings to the powerful.
Xia Yan directly bypassed Wang Yuan and replied: "Xi Shangshu (Xishu), who is in charge of the three parties, is busy rectifying the military affairs of Datong Town, so he was deceived by the White Lotus demon and personally wrote to the Shanxi Third Division to suppress the case. If he had submitted it directly The memorial may damage the reputation of Minister Xi."
"Ha ha!"
Wang Yuan couldn't help but laugh twice, and was very satisfied with Xia Yan's answer: "How do you think we should deal with it?"
Xia Yan said: "Explain the reason to Xi Shangshu, and the rest will be dealt with fairly."
"Not bad." Wang Yuan agreed.
Xia Yan was a little anxious. He had to find ways to make Wang Yuan look at him differently. He quickly said: "I think that the School of Physics is a mixed bag and should be rectified immediately to avoid such things that damage the reputation of physics from happening again."
Wang Yuan finally became interested and asked: "How to rectify it?"
Xia Yan said: "Set a rule that you are not allowed to act in the name of Wang Shangshu or the School of Physics. If you violate it, you will be expelled from the School of Physics immediately!"
Wang Yuan asked: "What else?"
Xia Yan hesitated for a few seconds, then suddenly said fiercely: "Wang Shangshu is determined to help the country, and wants to carry out reforms. If you want the reform to be successful, you must eliminate dissidents and appoint close people. The School of Physics is Wang Shangshu's confidant, outstanding There are many talented scholars. However, the School of Physics is undisciplined and has no system at all. It is necessary to formulate regulations to control the hearts of the disciples and get rid of the idle ones. Only then can we focus on one area of reform!"
Wang Yuan smiled and said: "If we do this, wouldn't the School of Physics become the Mohist School, and wouldn't I, Wang Yuan, become the great son of the Mohist School?"
Xia Yan cupped his hands and said, "Think of the defeat of Mr. Linchuan (Wang Anshi)."
Wang Yuan did not comment and just said: "I remember you, please come back."
"Student, please leave." Xia Yan stood up and saluted respectfully.
Wang Yuan nodded slightly, silently observing the relationship between disciples.
It's not like Wang Yuan wanted to form a political party, so how could he mess around like Xia Yan said?
Forming a party is a serious crime. In the eyes of the emperor, it is not much lighter than treason. If we really set strict regulations, someone will definitely turn around and report him. No matter how easy-talking Zhu Houzhao is, he will still be afraid of Wang Yuan.
What's more, the main task of the School of Physics is to spread scientific and cultural knowledge.
Once political parties and corporatization become involved, the flavor will completely change, and bureaucratic corruption will inevitably begin, which will affect scientific research and inventions. There will also be many people with outstanding talents who can't stand the rules and leave voluntarily, leaving behind a lot of clinging to the powerful, flattering, and passing off tricks.
generation.
A political party is first of all a collection of interests, covering national and national interests at the top and individual rights and economic interests at the bottom.
The Ming Dynasty didn't even have the concept of a nation. If they wanted to maintain a political party, they had to either give power or money. Where could Wang Yuan end up?
The British political party is the product of capitalists uniting to bargain with the king in order to safeguard their own interests. The premise of its birth is that Britain has achieved a constitutional monarchy.
To put it into perspective, Britain first had a constitutional monarchy, and then political parties were born. Before that, they were just political factions.
Confucius said: "Gentlemen live in groups but not in parties."
In Confucian culture, "party" is a derogatory term, and only small people can form parties. The word "party" began in the Song Dynasty, and it is a crime of attacking political opponents. If you join a political party, you will be attacked by the world's scholars!
However, political parties cannot be formed, and there are quite a few such parties.
Society refers to associations and gatherings. The "communities" and "hui" in the Ming Dynasty have reached the peak of the feudal dynasty.
Jinshi have "the same year meeting" and "lecture society". The famous Donglin Party was originally a "lecture society". The Fushe is different. It belongs to the "hehui" in the literary society, which is equivalent to a kind of literati gang.
It's not just about killing people with a knife.
Common people have "voluntary aid societies", also known as "voluntary societies", which not only agree to help each other, but also contribute money to establish charity warehouses to help those in need at critical times.
Businessmen have "guilds", prostitutes have "box guilds", vagrants have "baosheng guilds", and even monks, Taoist priests and slaves are popular in association meetings.
Wang Yuan planned to rebuild the "Physics Society". This organization was born in the Imperial College and was disbanded after the founding of the School of Physics.
The rebuilt Physics Society is a collection of the "Lecture Society" and the "Lecture Society". The Lecture Society focuses on academic exchanges and communication, while the Union focuses on daily life interactions. Member recruitment must be strict and cautious.
Membership is divided into three levels, entry member, core member and deacon member.
Only those who have been a member of the School of Physics for more than three years can become an entry member. After being a member for three years, you can apply to become a core member. Deacon members are voted by core members. Deacon members can also vote for specific people who have not yet reached the age limit.
Just sign in and become a member.
The headquarters of the Physics Society is in Beijing. If three or more members are in other places, a branch of the Physics Society can be temporarily established.
Members should meet regularly to communicate, mainly on academic issues, but also on practical issues in life. Members should help each other, including academic and financial mutual aid. If there is anyone who commits crimes, the reputation of the society should be addressed immediately.
In the event of expulsion from membership, the person who recommended membership shall be jointly and severally liable and shall not serve as a deacon at the headquarters or branch within three years.
If members from various places form branches, they should write to the Beijing headquarters as soon as possible, and the headquarters will also send certain material support as soon as possible.
In fact, physics has already spread to Guangdong, Fujian, and Zhejiang. Physics in Zhejiang originated from Hangzhou Technology and Business College. Guangdong and Fujian were brought back by businessmen's children, and their original purpose was to steal their teachers.
Over in Guangzhou, someone even copied a steam engine, but the performance of the machine still needs to be improved!
Wang Yuan called Wang Yan, the leader of the council, and asked him to gather the core members to draw up the rules of the meeting. After they were finalized, they were handed over to Wang Yuan for revision and approval.
As for the White Lotus Demon, just like Xia Yan said, it can be dealt with according to the law.
This guy's magic is passed down from his family. Historically, his grandson was still organizing the White Lotus Sect to cause trouble in the Longqing Dynasty.
He must be killed, even if he is exiled. No matter where he is exiled, a bunch of White Lotus followers will develop. Wang Yuan does not want to see the White Lotus all over America.
Well, there is no White Lotus in the Americas, but the American immigrants can already boil salt, and the Oak Bay immigrants have also annexed the nearby indigenous tribes - it is not a annexation by force, the indigenous people took the initiative to join them, and collectively learned to speak Chinese.
