Wang Xiang, whose name is Maoqing, is a native of Yinxian County, Zhejiang.

Historically, this person was awarded the Hanlin Academy for editing, and the starting point of his career was very high. It's a pity that he mixed with Yang Shen, was fooled into crying doors, and was beaten to death by Jiajing with a court staff after four years as an official.

What is very interesting is that the king of this time and space actually became a disciple of physics. Not only could he not be the editor of the Hanlin Academy, but he couldn't even be a Beijing official, and was thrown by Yang Tinghe to be the governor of Taizhou.

"Sir, I don't know when I will see you again this time," Wang Xiang bowed uprightly, straightened his waist and said, "The disciple is released as an official, and he must love the people like a son, and the work of Guangxing education will carry forward the physics school in Taizhou!" ”

Wang Yuan helped Wang Xiang up and said, "Your senior Xing Tai is already a little eyebrow when he tries to plant new crops in Hangzhou. These new crops do not pick the soil, and the yield is extremely high, which can benefit all people. After you take up your post, you can write a letter to Xingtai and ask him to send students to Taizhou to bring seeds, and the government will promote and persuade them to plant. ”

"Follow the teachings of Mr.!" Wang Xiangzuo said.

Wang Yuan stuffed a wooden box into the student's hand and admonished: "I know that Maoqing's family is poor, and he is not a greedy person. This silver, and take it for daily use, it is also more convenient to do things, remember not to be greedy for ink deductions. ”

Wang Xiang raised his hand and swore: "If the disciple becomes a corrupt official, he will commit suicide in Taizhou, and he will have no shame to see Mr. again in this life!" ”

Wang Xiang was originally the kind of traditional Confucian student, his lifelong ambition was to rule the country and level the world with the Qi family, and he was also young and enthusiastic, and it was normal to mix with Yang Shen in history. But at this time and space, he witnessed a series of operations by Wang Yuan in Ningbo, and he felt admiration in his heart, and took the initiative to join the School of Physics after the palace examination.

Wang Xiang held a box of silver dollars and retreated to the side to stand.

Nie Guang stepped forward again and bowed: "Sir, the disciple wants to run a school in Jianzhou and open a Sichuan branch of the School of Physics. I don't know if it's possible? ”

"Let's go," Wang Yuan warned gently, "Be careful in the flight test, don't fall yourself to death." ”

"Hahahaha!"

Everyone in the room burst into laughter.

Nie Guang is the guy who flew with wings, broke his leg alive, and successfully made a glider last year. This kid was born in a wealthy family in Beijing, and he was a physics person before he was lifted, and in the case of blindly engaging in flight tests, he was able to be admitted all the way to Shu Jishi, and this time he was thrown to Jianzhou by Yang Tinghe to be a governor.

Jianzhou is Jianyang, which used to belong to the county system, and Zhengde was upgraded to a state in eight years. The territory is quite small, and in addition to the state governance, it also manages Ziyang County.

Nie Guang, the governor of Jianzhou, is not as good as Wang Xiang's Taizhou governor, who made him just a three-list Jishi?

As for Tang Xun, he was exiled as the governor of Wugang, and it was a poor and remote place!

The territory under the jurisdiction of Wugang Prefecture is very large, but the economy and culture are extremely backward, and there is a Min King entrenched here. Tang Xun, the second rank of Jishi, was sent there to be an official, which is almost equivalent to distribution, just because he and Wang Yuan are fellow villagers and fellow disciples.

The last one is Jiang Xin, who used to belong to Wang Yangming's disciples, who jumped ship halfway to study physics, and also served as the president of Hangzhou Industrial and Commercial College. This time, as a third-list jinshi, he was admitted to Shu Jishi, and is now released by Yang Tinghe as the governor of Ningzhou.

It was these four who were implicated and attacked, and all of them were released to Zhizhou.

Ordinary Jinshi can only be a magistrate, but if Shu Jishi is released, at least he must be a magistrate. No matter how arrogant Yang Tinghe is, he doesn't dare to cross this bottom line, otherwise he doesn't need Wang Yuan to make a move, and the Qingliu people will greet his ancestors for eighteen generations.

Wang Yuan personally sent the four of them out of Beijing, each with a box of silver dollars for travel expenses, and at the same time told them to promote the new crop.

……

But he said that Wang Xiang's family was poor, and he didn't even have an entourage when he went to work.

If it weren't for Wang Yuan's gift of a box of silver dollars, Wang Xiang could only take a bus or boat along the way. In addition to rushing to take the exam, officials also have to charge a certain fee for taking this kind of car and boat. And the traffic efficiency is very poor, maybe you will have to wait for a month or two, because you have to wait slowly at the post station.

Wang Xiang is a young man, and his talent is ready to go, even if he is suppressed, he is still full of ambition in his heart. Just like in history, he followed Yang Shen to cry at the door, desperately trying to correct Emperor Jiajing's "mistakes".

After coming to Taizhou, Wang Xiang was dusty, and the Confucian shirt on his body had been washed white.

Taizhou is the same as Jianzhou, with its own state governing one county (Hailing) and one affiliated county (Rugao). Speaking of Zhizhou, it is only a little richer than Jianzhou, just in charge of the territory of the two counties.

Wang Xiang entered Taizhou City, and did not immediately go to the state government to report, but made a private visit to observe the people's customs.

Walking casually for a while, feeling a little hungry, Wang Xiang found a roadside stall and ate a bowl of noodles.

Suddenly, someone shouted, "Mr. Shinsai has given a lecture!" ”

I saw dozens or hundreds of people, running along the way to tell each other, not only passers-by followed, but even the noodle seller couldn't hold back, urging: "This minister, can you eat quickly?" I'm going to listen to Mr. Shinsai's lectures. ”

Wang Xiang was stunned for a moment and asked, "Have you also read a book?" ”

The noodle vendor said, "I recognize a few words." ”61

Wang Xiang felt even more strange: "I only recognize a few words, so I went to listen to the lectures of Confucianism?" ”

"Mr. Shinsai speaks well, everyone loves to listen," the vendor said with a smile from the merchantist, "There must be a lot of people in the place where Mr. Shinsai lectures, and it is better to sell noodles." ”

"Then let's go together." Wang Xiang held the clay bowl and walked forward while eating noodles.

After a short time, I came to the gate of the state school, where there was already a traffic jam, and the officials, scholars, merchants, and people ...... The whole group was there and listened attentively.

A lean middle-aged man, dressed in fancy clothes, wearing a papier-mâché hat, holding a wooden wat board in his hand, said in an extremely loud voice: "My teacher Yang Minggong, everything is about the heart, and you must have a conscience. But I think that conscience should not only be about the heart, but also about the body. What is Body? It's a good idea! ”

He pointed to an audience member: "You are selling sugar, running around every day, earning money to support your family, supporting your wife and children, and you are also living in peace." ”

He pointed to another listener: "You are rich and expensive in silk, and you seem to be in business. Make money in business, don't steal or rob, as long as you don't be a profiteer, what's so cold? It's still in peace. ”

He stroked his beard and said: "As the saying goes, the poor ** plan, the rich have a long conscience." It's not that the poor are bad, the rich are good-hearted, but they are settled, and five buckets of rice may not make you bend your waist. If a person can't even eat enough, what can he talk about conscience? Last year's two catastrophes, cannibalism, where did the conscience go? Fill your stomach and talk about it! ”

Wang Xiang stood next to him and listened stupidly, the person lecturing in front of him was really a disciple of the ancestor Yang Minggong?

The man continued, "That's why I said, before you set your heart, you must first stand up and stand up for yourself!" If you can't stand up, then your heart is a tree without roots and a root without roots. How can I stand up? First of all, you have to have the ability to make a living, you can be a carpenter, you can farm, you can do business, you can study...... These are the foundations of life. There are all living beings in the world, and only by feeding themselves first can we talk about other things. If everyone can support themselves and not harm others, then won't this Ming Dynasty be a country and a peaceful country? ”

Wang Xiang frowned and pondered, as if this was the case.

If everyone gets their own life and doesn't hurt others, then all the people can get their own life, and the country and the people will be safe and the society will be stable!

The man said loudly: "Therefore, only by standing up can you establish your heart, and only by establishing your heart can you settle the world." Everyone can stand up, then everyone can settle down in the world! Scholars often talk about the 'way of the sage', what is the 'way'? The Tao is civil, it is civil, and the daily use of the people is the Tao. I am hungry to eat, food is the way, cultivation is the way; I want to dress when I'm cold, cloth is the way, and weaving is the way; I want to go far away, the car and ship are the way, and the craftsman is the way. Food and clothing are the origin of the Tao, the most basic Tao, and the greatest Tao! Not letting people eat enough and not letting people dress warmly is the biggest unreasonableness! ”

"Well said!"

Thousands of listeners applauded.

Wang Xiang seems to have been struck by lightning, he was born poor, it was difficult to eat when he was young, he was able to study all by luck, and he met kind people to help him along the way. He felt that the person in front of him was too reasonable, food and clothing are the biggest "Tao", who can make all the people fed and clothed, won't they be able to become saints in the world?

This theory, combined with physics, is a perfect match.

The biggest use of those things in physics research is to keep people fed and clothed!

Wang Xiang heard it all the time, and when everyone had dispersed, he stepped forward and said, "Under Wang Xiang, the word Maoqing, dare to ask Mr. Respect?" ”

The man was not polite, and arched his hand and said, "Wang Gen, the word is stopping, and the heart is fasting." ”

Wang Xiang asked, "Mr. Xinzhai is a disciple of Yang Ming Gong?" ”

Wang Gen smiled: "Exactly." However, there is something wrong with my teacher's learning, and as a disciple, I should help him correct it. ”

Wang Xiang said: "I am the second disciple of Yang Ming Gong, and when it comes to seniority, I should call Mr. Uncle Shi." ”

"Who is your teacher?" Wang Gen asked.

Wang Xiang replied: "The left waiter of the Ministry of Rites, if the prince is also Xugong." ”

"Wang Ruoxu?" Wang Gen clapped his hands and laughed, "That's right, let's have a good chat, I've been studying physics recently." His new set of arithmetic is really convenient, and many times he doesn't have to knock on the abacus anymore. ”

Wang Gen has no fame, he is a stove household, and he has been burning salt for the imperial court for generations.

He studied at the age of seven, dropped out of school in poverty, and burned salt with his father and brother.

Poor, my father and brother began to work as a smuggler of salt, and he also followed all the way to sell salt for a living. When he was nineteen years old, he went to Shandong in business, and ran to worship the Confucian Temple, thinking about the statue of Confucius: "The master is a human being, I am also a human being, and I can be a saint even if I study hard!" ”

So, Wang Gen began to study on his own, taking a book with him wherever he went, and taking it out to read whenever he had time. When he went to a certain place for business, he went to visit the local Confucian, and not only became knowledgeable, but also developed into a big businessman.

When Wang Yangming was suppressing bandits in Jiangxi, Wang Gen visited him and officially entered the Xinxue sect. But his knowledge has long been a school of his own, and he just wants to be supplemented and improved by Wang Yangming, and almost every time he debates with Wang Yangming, he will quarrel, so he simply goes back to his hometown Taizhou to gather people to give lectures.

This is the Taizhou School of Yangming Mind!

The Taizhou school pays attention to "standing up", rather than "establishing the heart", which is actually a typical "people-oriented" thought.

Wang Xiang and Wang Gen met in Taizhou, and there was an immediate chemical effect. The physics school and the Taizhou school under the Yangming School of Mind began to draw nourishment from each other, and although they did not completely merge, they were the closest among the many schools of mind.
