After two days of delay in giving lectures in Taiping Mansion, the news that Taishi Wang had returned to his hometown as an official official quickly spread up the river along with the coming and going of merchants.
When the official ship passed Chizhou Prefecture, the prefect brought thousands of officials and people to greet it. Unfortunately, it got dark before arriving in Chizhou. When they passed Chizhou at noon the next day, the official ship did not dock here, and these people waited in vain.
field.
The prefect of Anqing was much luckier, and he happened to meet him in the evening.
Wang Yuan looked at the crowded crowd on the pier, frowned suddenly, and ordered: "You are not allowed to dock. We will rest on the boat today."
The prefect of Anqing waited around, but Wang Yuan was not seen getting off the boat, so he had to send someone to inquire about the situation. Zhang Mu stood on the bow of the boat and said loudly: "The Grand Master has said that your government is wasting people and hurting money. This is not the virtue of an official. Let's leave early.
go."
The prefect of Anqing was so frightened that he quickly dispersed the crowd. He sat in a small boat and stayed next to Wang Yuan's official ship all night.
For no other reason than to let Wang Yuan remember him, or let the physics disciples remember him.
The sky was dimming, and more than forty scholars from the Anqing Mansion came to the dock early to gather. They saw the official ship setting sail, and the scholars all held the apprenticeship ceremony and watched Wang Yuan leave without saying a word.
The prefect of Anqing also came ashore from the boat, but received angry looks from all the scholars. If the prefect had not mobilized the troops, Wang Yuan would have landed ashore to rest, and they could also see the legendary masters (many of them were fourth-generation disciples). It was all the fault of the prefect.
Being smart.
Because Wang Yuan had been in power for many years, physics had become a prominent school with disciples all over the country.
Some scholars who only understand the four arithmetic operations and have a little knowledge of the solution of simple equations will tell everyone that they are physics students. They often also practice mental studies, and they will immediately become taller after talking nonsense.
What’s even more ridiculous is that Tong Sheng, who only knows a little bit about everything, loves to bully the old county magistrate. He wrote a bunch of spiritual principles in the eight-legged essay for the county examination, and also included a few physics terms. He asked the magistrate if he had given it.
!If you don’t give it, you despise Mr. Yangming. If you don’t give it, you despise the leader of the dynasty. If you don’t give it, you don’t understand psychology and physics!
Over time, articles in county examinations and road examinations almost exclusively involve psychology and physics.
Regardless of whether it relies on questions or not, if it is written mechanically, it will be easily written down if you don't write. Although the two courses "Mathematics" and "Physics" are not included in the examination scope, they have become must-read books for scholars all over the world.
.It doesn’t matter whether you can read it or not, but you must understand it.
Explicit knowledge often means overflowing, with cats and dogs all burrowing into it.
Physics is a little better. After all, the formulas and theorems are there, and there is a limit no matter how much nonsense you make.
It is Yangming's theory of mind that has become so widespread that it has almost become a Zen sect that talks about the nature of mind. Everyone says that knowledge and action are one, and everyone says that one should cultivate conscience. They just talk about wanting to be a saint, but in fact they don't even have the four books.
I don’t even understand the Five Classics.
Wang Yangming is still alive today, but he already has some regrets and believes that the study of mind is a great harm to the world.
At an early age, Wang Yangming began to systematically study mathematics and physics. At the same time, he was annotating "Zhu Xi's Language Classes" and studying the correspondence between Zhu Xi and his friends during his lifetime, hoping to integrate the philosophy of mind with Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism. Historically, Wang Yangming also
Although he was doing this, there was no way to integrate them at all, and he could only prove that he and Zhu Xi were the same people.
Moreover, Wang Yangming burned all his annotations on the Five Classics, otherwise Yangming Xinxue would also have a fixed textbook.
When the official ship passed Wuchang Prefecture, officials from the Third Division of Huguang Division came to the city to greet them. Among the officials from the Third Division of Huguang Division and Wuchang Prefecture, there were seven second- and third-generation physics disciples. They knew the teacher's temper and did not summon ordinary people.
.
However, many merchants came spontaneously, first to admire the majesty of the Grand Master, and secondly to express their sincere admiration for him.
Wang Yuan's opening of the sea not only benefited the coast, but also made many merchants in the inland make money. Traditional commodities from Sichuan and Huguang were exported down the river to Jiangnan in large quantities, and the rice merchants among them made huge profits.
Rice merchants are making money not only because rice prices in Jiangnan are soaring, but also because of the reform of taxation and water transportation systems. In this way, rice merchants in Sichuan and Huguang provinces can not only purchase more grain, but also be less exploited by water transportation. The rice merchants transported to Jiangnan are sold more than before.
It is more expensive, and the net profit inside and outside is directly doubled.
Seeing the official ships passing by outside the city, the merchants also imitated the physics disciples and bowed to Wang Yuan from a distance in respect.
Wang Che, who had been admitted to the Guizhou Juren Examination, also returned to his hometown with his father for the funeral. When he saw this situation, he couldn't help but said to his mother: "My father's virtue has benefited all people, and he is a model for scholars in the world."
"Good talk!" Song Ling'er retorted.
Wang Che quickly changed his words: "My child is saying that as an official, you should be like your father."
Song Ling'er said: "Everyone thinks of your nonsense, it depends on whether you can do it or not."
Wang Che was speechless for a moment.
Pass through Wuchang, pass through Yueyang, enter Dongting, and go along the Yuanjiang River.
We took the waterway all the way to Chenxi County and then changed to the land official road. When we arrived at Yuanzhou, we turned to the waterway again and disembarked again to Xinglongwei, Guizhou.
Climbing over mountains and ridges can be quite tiring.
When Wang Yuan left Guizhou, Qingping (Kaili) was still a military-controlled garrison. Now the garrison has been withdrawn and established as a county, and it has become Qingping County under the rule of exiled officials.
The county magistrate of Qingping, named Chen Zongkui, came to the inn from the county government office to pay his respects.
This man has a majestic appearance, a great appearance, sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes. He can be called a handsome guy. He is neither humble nor arrogant. He bowed and said: "I am going to be the magistrate of Qingping County, Chen Zongkui, to pay my respects to the Taifu!"
Zhang Mu reminded: "Grand Master."
Chen Zongkui was stunned for a moment, then bowed again: "Meet the Grand Master!"
Wang Yuan nodded in approval: "You look a bit like an official. I see your beard is still hairy. How old are you this year?"
Chen Zongkui said: "I am twenty years old."
Wang Yuan smiled and said: "How much exactly?"
"I'm eighteen years old," Chen Zongkui said.
Wang Yuan praised: "How can a young genius know physics?"
Chen Zongkui said: "I know a little bit about it, but it's all self-study, and I haven't entered the physics gate."
Wang Yuan asked again: "How long have you known Qingping County?"
Chen Zongkui said: "It has only been three months since the official took office."
Wang Yuan asked again: "Is there any strategy for governing the county?"
Chen Zongkui said: "Qingping County has a large population of Miao people and fewer Han people, and there are countless barren mountains and ridges. There are two urgent tasks, one is to educate the Miao people, and the other is to reclaim the wasteland. The Miao people in the mountains only know the chiefs, but do not know the government, and the government orders are unclear. This is why
It is not a day's work, nor is it a generation's work. Although the lower official is the county magistrate, he can only start from the county seat. He first clears out the old military fields and distributes them to the military households and civilians (after the guards were withdrawn and the counties were established, the military households have been converted into
households), allowing the Han people around the county to have farmland."
"Is it difficult?" Wang Yuan asked.
Chen Zongkui said: "It is indeed difficult, but there are ways. You can make the original military officer clan reclaim wasteland and issue land deeds."
Wang Yuan said: "Although this can reduce Qingtian's resistance, are those old military attachés really willing to trade mature fields for unripe fields?"
Chen Zongkui said: "If there is disobedience, the law will be dealt with. Although I am young, my sword is still sharp."
"good!"
Wang Yuan praised: "Neither arrogant nor impetuous, he can be strong or soft. From now on, he will be a minister of the country."
Historically, Chen Zongkui, Qi Jiguang, and Yu Dayou fought against Japanese pirates together and were quite successful. It was a pity that he died young and died of illness after he was only promoted to deputy envoy. Otherwise, he would have been a famous official of his generation.
After all, Chen Zongkui was only eighteen years old. He was praised by the grand master of the dynasty, so he couldn't help but beam with joy and said with a smile: "The grand master is so complimentary."
Wang Yuan ordered: "Let's take a look at the tea."
Wang Yuan was sitting at the door of the inn, admiring the sunset that was about to set, and suddenly recited a poem: "The journey to Jiuyu Mountain is suddenly sunny, warm clouds are floating, and the water is bright. The days in my hometown are far away from my youth, and I am thinking about the white flowers in the mist. The clothes peek out of the stacks, and the isolated city is hidden in the peaks and corners. The Huayi are restrained and strict in their hats and shoes, and they talk about special ways and rank among the provincial ministers."
Chen Zongkui asked: "May I ask the Grand Master, whose poem is this?"
Wang Yuan said with emotion: "My master Yangminggong's old work. At that time, Yangminggong angered Liu Jin and demoted him to Longchang Post in Guizhou. He was ill and traveled here, and it was raining heavily. When he arrived at Qingping Post, the sky suddenly cleared up. So this happened Poetry. Thirty years later, Qingpingwei has become Qingping County, but the scenery of Qingping Station is still as magnificent."
Chen Zongkui said: "There are great rivers and mountains, and we should all the more strive for progress."
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Wang Yuan burst out laughing and slapped Chen Zongkui on the shoulder: "Be an official in Qingping County, and don't lose your ambition. My son Wang Che is about the same age as you. Please chat all night tonight and help me teach you." His knowledge."
