Wang Yuan brought many changes to the Ming Dynasty, and the steam engine was just one of them.

For example, in history, there was a famine in Linqing, Shandong at this time.

Because of the contradictions between Jiajing and Laochen, many local affairs were difficult to advance, resulting in a small burst of the Yellow River. In order to stabilize the price of grain in Shandong, the grain and rice in the second warehouse were widely accumulated and sold to the local government at a reduced price.

But now, because Wang Yuan handed Zhu Houzhao an excerpt, the Huanglinggang embankment has been gradually repaired, and there are three more embankments to prevent the breach. In addition, Wang Yuan personally built an embankment and dug a lake in Linqing, and there have been no floods in Linqing for nearly ten years, and the people here live and work in peace and contentment, but the price of rice has risen due to the large planting of cotton in Shandong.

In these two cases alone, Wang Yuan saved at least 100,000 people, and saved millions of people from displacement!

And the residents of the city are gradually getting used to newspapers.

Although there is no Wang Yuan, Daming will also have newspapers. However, Tang newspapers were only distributed to officials, and most of the private newspapers were purchased by merchants (containing business information), and it was not until the end of the Ming Dynasty that newspapers for scholars appeared.

Wang Yuan's invention of the wax printing machine made it easier for newspapers to be printed in large quantities, and the cost plummeted. Nowadays, newspapers have spread all over the country, and there are various types of newspapers, not only businessmen and scholars like to subscribe, but even ordinary people also love to listen to people read newspapers.

This time when he landed at the port of Tianjin, Wang Yuan came to the Tianjin Acropolis and saw at least three kinds of newspapers. The print run is not high, and a few hundred copies are a lot, mainly for local readers.

Well, Tianjin also has ball games, and occasionally invites Beijing teams to compete.

After staying in Tianjin for a day, Wang Yuan was about to take a boat, when suddenly someone behind shouted: "Is Wang Shilang in front?" ”

Wang Yuan turned around and looked, and suddenly had an impression, and said with a smile: "Brother Qian, I haven't seen you for many years, and your demeanor is still the same." ”

Zou Shouyi said with a smile: "Wang Shilang actually remembers it." ”

"You and I are in the same department, how can we forget?" Wang Yuan invited Zou Shouyi to take a boat together.

Zou Shouyi in history should have been the first to take the first test and the third to the palace test. Just because of Wang Yuan's appearance, Zou Shouyi did not become a tanhualang, and was admitted to Shu Jishi as the first place in the second list.

This guy didn't even wait for the museum to disperse, so he gave up his identity as a Jishi and went back to his hometown to study and study!

What does it mean?

The top central reserve cadres, who were only 20 years old, took the initiative to give up all their futures, saying that they would go home and concentrate on academic research.

This study is thirteen years, during which he studied under Wang Yangming and practiced mental science for seven years.

The former weak-crowned teenager is already thirty-three-year-old middle-aged. And this person is slender, handsome in appearance, can be called a jade tree in the wind, and there is a great Confucian atmosphere in his gestures - in history, although Zou Shouyi is not the first disciple of the Wang Sect, he has been unanimously recognized by all schools of Xinxue, and is considered to be the only disciple who has obtained the true biography of Wang Yangming.

The two entered the cabin, the same subject and the same door, and they reminisced about the past.

Wang Yuan asked, "Brother Qian is returning to Beijing to be an official this time?" ”

Zou Shouyi said: "First go to the Ministry of Officials and the Hanlin Academy to report, as for whether you can be an official or not, there is not much difference." I have been lecturing in Jiangxi for ten years, and I think that I have learned from Zhu and Xin, and I want to spread knowledge in Beijing. ”

Yes, this person did not come back to be an official, but to go back to the capital to preach!

Yangming Xinxue has been widely spread in Nanzhili, Zhejiang, Fujian, Huguang, Jiangxi, Guizhou, and Lingnan, but its influence in the north is still weak. This time, not only Zou Shouyi came back, but Fang Xianfu, Huang Juan and others also came back, all of whom were academic bigwigs who had returned to their hometowns to give lectures for more than ten years.

Wang Yuan thought for a while and said, "Brother's great talent, he should be edited for the Hanlin Academy." But if you don't have to leave the museum, I'm afraid that when you return to Beijing this time, you can only do a review of the Hanlin Academy. ”

"It's okay," Zou Shouyi said, clenching his fists, "Thank you Brother Ruoxu for your care." ”

Strictly speaking, Zou Shouyi is unorganized and undisciplined, and Shu Jishi will slip away after a few months, and he can even be deprived of his fame if he investigates it to the end. But he himself has profound knowledge, and with Wang Yuan to help him speak, it is still very convenient to grant it a review from the Seven Rank Hanlin Academy.

If Wang Yuan doesn't help to speak, Yang Ting and his henchmen control the Hanlin Academy, and Zou Shouyi is a disciple of Xinxue, I'm afraid that he will have to sit on the cold bench all the time after returning to Beijing.

Zou Shouyi neither talked about official positions nor academics, but talked about Jiangxi Qingtian: "Last year, Chen Xiran (Chen Yong) finally completed Jiangxi Qingtian, although it was not very thorough, but it also made Jiangxi change. Alas, when he left Jiangxi, he was attacked by a mob and almost died because of it. ”

"I know about this," Wang Yuan's face was ugly, "Chen Xiran was in distress several times in Jiangxi, and it can be said that he died nine times in his life, but he was demoted after working hard to clear the field. ”

Zou Shouyi said with a smile: "Haha, my family's field was also cleared by him more than 2,000 acres. ”

The Zou family belongs to the Jiangxi clan, so they naturally belong to the target of the attack. But Zou Shouyi is a person, he doesn't even bother to do it, will he care about the family's fields? This guy even persuaded his father to take the initiative to hand over the occupied official land, which brought a lot of convenience to Chen Yong.

As for Chen Yong, the end was a bit miserable.

He worked hard in Qingtian, Jiangxi Province for several years, and by the way promoted the grain tax reform, and was almost beaten to death several times. Yang Tinghe took advantage of Wang Yuanyuan's distance in Liaodong to gather party henchmen to impeach Chen Yong and brutalize the people, and Zhu Houzhao demoted Chen Yong when he got off the donkey.

Zhu Houzhao supported Qingtian, so Chen Yongcai did not move his nest in Jiangxi for several years. But now that the field has been cleared, Chen Yong has also completed his mission, and the emperor no longer needs to protect it, and he can still stop the ministers from demoting him, so why not do it?

It's not called unloading the mill and killing the donkey, and in two years, if Zhu Houzhao still remembers Chen Yong, it will be a matter of promoting Chen Yong.

When the time comes, Yang Tinghe will not stop him. His impeachment of Chen Yong this time was not against Qingtian, but to win over more henchmen. How many people Chen Yongqingtian offended, Yang Tinghe could win over as many people, this is a profitable operation.

As for Wang Yuan, he naturally has to protect his own people. When something happens someday, Chen Yong is recommended to go over, and once he makes meritorious service, he can be reinstated.

chatted with Zou Shouyi all the way back to Beijing, and before he got home, Zheng Shanfu, the priest of the Ministry of Rites, came to ask for a meeting.

"Sir, the new calendar has been made!" Zheng Shanfu brought an almanac.

Zheng Shanfu, a native of Zhejiang, is a mathematician, writer and astronomer. He was supposed to worship under Wang Yangming, but because of new arithmetic and new astronomy, he resolutely joined Wang Yuan's school of physics.

Historically, Zheng Shanfu once went to Zhu Houzhao, saying that the current calendar is no longer accurate, and the time difference between the north and south solar eclipses should be measured to calculate the actual precession of the calendar, and asked to change the existing calendar of the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Houzhao was busy fighting, how could he care about the calendar? He also dissuaded Zhu Houzhao from touring the south, was beaten 30 battles, punished for kneeling at the noon gate for five days, and later died of illness on the way to his post.

Now it's completely different, after Wang Yuan served as the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites, he promoted his disciple Zheng Shanfu and promoted him from a member of the Ministry of Rites to Langzhong.

Zheng Shanfu wanted to change the calendar, so Wang Yuan said, "Your Majesty has no interest in this, but you can contact Qin Tianjian." The Qintian Supervisor will inform the Yin and Yang officials from all over the country, and you will work together to compile the new calendar, and then I will help present it to Your Majesty. ”

So, Zheng Shanfu went to work to compile a new calendar, how could he have time to persuade the emperor not to tour south?

Wang Yuan flipped through the new calendar, but he couldn't see anything, so he only asked, "There won't be any mistakes or omissions, right?" ”

Zheng Shanfu said: "The disciples, together with Qin Tianjian, have been compiling this calendar for six years, and have checked it no less than ten times, and there is definitely no mistake or omission. ”

Wang Yuan said with a smile: "Then I will help you present it to Your Majesty, this is a great achievement, and it is estimated that I can exchange it for a Shaozhan matter." ”

Zheng Shanfu was overjoyed: "Thank you, Mr. for your support!" ”

The positions of Zhan Shifu are mostly the springboard for Hanlin officials, and it is difficult to concurrently serve if they are not from Hanlin.

Wang Yuan recommended Zheng Shanfu to do Shao Zhan's work, not only as simple as being promoted, but also gilding Zheng Shanfu. The original position of the Ministry of Rites remains unchanged, and he also serves as a young man, and he can also be a waiter in the future.

Zheng Shanfu was thirty-nine years old, and Wang Yuan was only thirty years old.

But the master is a teacher, and he is also a superior, and it is not cold to open his mouth and close his mouth to call "sir".

(A new book was released in July, and the title of the book is "New Book", which seems to follow Wang Mang's mix and turn the rhythm of Liu Xiu, the son of the Chosen One?) ）
