Xia Yan tidied up his clothes, straightened and said, "Meet Wang Shangshu!" ”

"You are Xia Gongjin? Why do you perform the discipleship ceremony? Wang Yuan asked.

Xia Yan said unhurriedly: "Although I didn't join the physics school, I also studied the two books of "Mathematics" and "Physics". He was taught by Mr. and was a disciple. I was afraid of being stupid and ruining my husband's reputation, so I didn't dare to call myself a student. ”

Wang Yuan, a novice in history, only knows Yan Song like thunder, but he doesn't know much about Xia Yan, but he seems to have heard this name. He asked, "What year is Jinshi?" ”

Xia Yan reported to the door: "Zhengde has been a Jinshi for 12 years, the master is Jie'an Gong (Jin Gui), and the house master is Mr. An Yu (Huang Chen)." ”

"Sit down." Wang Yuan smiled.

It's no wonder that he has been an official for eleven years, and he is only a person who has been given things from the seventh grade.

Xia Yan's master, Jin Gui, had been ill all year round before Zhishi, and he had long since stopped interfering in the affairs of the court. Fang Shi Huang Chen, another officialdom bastard, only knows how to engage in literary creation all day long, and has been an official for many years, spraying some painless problems, and the only desirable place is to be incorruptible.

Xia Yan's temper is stinky, and he can't pull his face to talk to the powerful, so it's normal to be staggering.

It was precisely because of the long time that Xia Yan began to reflect on himself, put down his reserve and ran to climb Wang Yuan, and he was willing to be a dogleg without shame. He is a jinshi at the end of the third list, and he was first awarded the official position of the eighth grade, and he really can't be mixed up without anyone to carry him!

Xia Yan sat precariously, 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 judgment is different, why don't you just write a chapter and send it to the General Administration Department?" ”

This question is difficult to answer, and if you don't pay attention to it, you will leave an image of a hypocritical villain clinging to the powerful in Wang Yuan's heart.

Xia Yan directly bypassed Wang Yuan and replied: "Xi Shangshu (Xi Shu) is in charge of the three sides of the general system, and he is busy rectifying the military affairs of Datong Town, so he was deceived by the White Lotus Demon and personally wrote a letter to the Shanxi Third Division to suppress the case. If the chapter is handed over directly, I am afraid that it will damage Xi Shangshu's reputation. ”

"Haha!"

Wang Yuan couldn't help laughing twice, and was very satisfied with Xia Yan's answer: "What do you think should be done?" ”

Xia Yan said: "Explain the reason to Xi Shangshu, and the rest can be handled impartially." ”

"Not bad." Wang Yuan agreed.

Xia Yan was a little anxious, he had to find a way to make Wang Yuan look at him differently. Hurriedly said: "I don't think that the School of Physics is mixed, and it should be rectified immediately to avoid such things that hurt the reputation of physics again." ”

Wang Yuan was finally interested and asked, "How to rectify it?" ”

Xia Yan said: "Make a rule that you must not act in the name of Wang Shangshu and 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, and suddenly said fiercely: "Wang Shangshu is determined to help Sheji, and he wants to do that reform and change the law. If we want to succeed in reform, we must eliminate dissidents and appoint confidants. The school of physics is the heart of Wang Shangshu, and there are many talented people. However, the school of physics is scattered and has no system to speak of. When a charter is established, the hearts of the disciples are reined, and the indiscriminate generations are stripped away, only then can we work hard in the reform! ”

Wang Yuan said with a smile: "If you do this, won't the physics school become the Mo family, and I, Wang Yuan, will become the Mo family?" ”

Xia Yan arched his hand and said: "When Mr. Silinchuan (Wang Anshi) is defeated. ”

Wang Yuan was noncommittal, and only said, "I remember you, let's go back." ”

"The student quits." Xia Yan stood up respectfully and saluted.

Wang Yuan nodded slightly, silently understanding the protégé relationship.

Wang Yuan didn't want to form a political party, how could he mess around like Xia Yan said?

Forming a party is a big crime, and in the eyes of the emperor, it is not much lighter than rebellion. If you really want to make strict regulations, someone will definitely report it, and no matter how good Zhu Houzhao is, he will be afraid of Wang Yuan.

Moreover, the main task of the school of physics is to disseminate scientific and cultural knowledge.

Once it becomes a political party or a corporatization, the taste will change completely, and bureaucratic corruption will inevitably begin, affecting scientific research and invention. There will also be many people with outstanding intelligence who can't stand the rules and take the initiative to leave, but instead leave behind a large number of people who cling to the powerful, flattery, and abuse.

A political party is first and foremost a collection of interests, including 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 country and a nation, and if they wanted to maintain a political party, they either gave power or money, what good could Wang Yuan end up with?

The British political party, which is the product of the capitalists who bargain with the king in order to protect their own interests, was born on the premise that Britain has achieved a constitutional monarchy.

Knocking on the point, Britain first had a constitutional monarchy, and then there were political parties, which were just political factions before.

Confucius said: "The gentlemen are not the party." ”

In Confucian culture, "party" is a derogatory term, and only small people will form a party. The term "political party" began in the Song Dynasty, and it is a crime of attacking political opponents.

However, political parties cannot be formed, but there are quite a lot of parties.

Society is association and assembly, and the "society" and "meeting" of the Ming Dynasty have reached the peak of the feudal dynasty.

Jinshi has "same year meeting" and "lecture society", and the famous Donglin Party was originally a "lecture society". The Fushe is different, it belongs to the "union" in the literary society, which is equivalent to a kind of literati gang, but it does not mention a knife to cut people.

The people have a "Volunteer Aid Association", also known as the "Righteous Society", which not only agrees to help each other, but also contributes money to establish a righteous warehouse to help the poor at critical times.

Merchants had "guilds", prostitutes had "box associations", homeless people had "baosheng associations", and even monks, Taoist priests, and slaves had popular associations and gatherings.

Wang Yuan planned to rebuild the "Physics Society", which was born in Guozijian and disbanded after the establishment of the School of Physics.

The reconstructed Physics Society is a collection of "lecture societies" and "associations". The lecture society pays attention to academic exchanges and dissemination, and the association pays attention to daily life exchanges, and the recruitment of members must be strict and cautious.

There are three levels of membership, beginner member, core member, and deacon member.

Only those who have been in the physics school for more than three years can become an introductory member. Only after three years of membership can you apply to become a core member. Deacon members, elected by vote of the core members. Deacon members vote, and specific people who have not yet reached the age of service can also be directly brought in as members.

The headquarters of the Physics Society is in Beijing, and if more than three members are in other places, a branch of the Physics Society can be established temporarily.

Members should meet regularly to exchange ideas, mainly on academic issues, but also on practical issues in life. Members shall help each other, both academically and financially. If there is a traitor, the reputation of the society will be expelled immediately, and the person who recommends the society will be jointly and severally liable and shall not serve as a deacon of the headquarters or branch for three years.

If members from all over the country set up 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 long spread to Guangdong, Fujian, and Zhejiang. Zhejiang's physics originated from Hangzhou Institute of Technology and Business. Guangdong and Fujian, on the other hand, were brought back by the children of merchants, whose original purpose was to come and steal teachers.

In Guangzhou, some people even imitated the steam engine, but the performance of the machine needs to be improved!

Wang Yuan called Wang Xu, the head of the court, and asked him to convene the core members to draw up the rules of the meeting, and then hand them over to Wang Yuan for revision and approval after they were finalized.

As for the white lotus demon, just like Xia Yan said, it can be dealt with according to law.

The demon law of this product is a family heirloom, and in history, his grandson also organized the White Lotus Sect to make trouble in the Longqing Dynasty.

It must be killed, not exiled. No matter where he was exiled, a bunch of White Lotus Sect followers would develop, and Wang Yuan didn't want to see the White Lotus Sect in the Americas.

Well, there is no White Lotus religion in the Americas, but the American immigrants can already boil salt, and the Oakwood Bay immigrants have also annexed the nearby indigenous tribes - not by force, the natives took the initiative to take refuge and collectively learned to speak Chinese.
