[Anyway, it's asking for votes]

"So Mr. Ni is in Huguang these days?"

At this time, Wang Xingping was already sitting in a wing room in the backyard, and the chair opposite was Ni Zhumo, who had just rushed back to Guiyang today.

The old man's face was flushed, and he did not see the fatigue that should have been born from the long journey.

"It's also a coincidence, the old man went to Jingzhou this time [note: now Jingxian County, Hunan] was also in response to a doctor's appointment, and the second came to Jingzhou's Poria cocos is very authentic, similar to the Jiuzi River in Luotian County, Li Dongbi in the "Compendium of Materia Medica" quite respected, in the past I used in the two Zhejiang mostly dry goods, this time just want to see the real face of the origin. But who would have thought that after Chongyang arrived in Wuyang last year, he didn't want to be known by the old highness of Wugang Prefecture next door, and he was invited to go. ”

"Your Royal Highness? Wugang Prefecture? Could it be the One? ”

There are not many in the Ming Dynasty who can be called His Royal Highness, even if it is a province that is called a feudal territory, it is arrogant, Ni Zhumo will not know the severity. And speaking of Wugang Prefecture in Huguang, it seems that there is indeed such a person who can be called 'His Highness', could it be that the old gentleman really met it this time?

"The virtuous nephew guessed right, it is the one in Mindi." Ni Zhumo and the Queen Mother have a relationship with each other, and now they call Wang Xingping a virtuous nephew.

Wugang Prefecture of Huguang Baoqing Mansion is the fief of Minwang Mansion, the first Minwang Zhu Yang is the eighteenth son of Emperor Taizu, the first seal in Minzhou of Gongchang Mansion in Shaanxi, Hongwu 26 years Minzhou guard alone from Gongchang Mansion out of Yunnan, King Min was therefore changed to the town to Yunnan, in Yunnan because of the grudge with Xiping Marquis Mu Sheng, first in Jianwen was used by Mu Sheng to cut the opportunity of the emperor to play illegal, and finally was exiled to Fujian, to the Yongle Dynasty because of the Taizong Huairou clan and reinstated, but had to be renamed to Wugang in Huguang again. And now the reigning is the seventh generation of Minwang Zhu Dingxie, counting this succession in the 34th year of Jiajing (1555 AD) to now just reign for 63 years, more than ten years more than the days of today's reign, and it is indeed worthy of an old word.

"Looking at the face of the gentleman, he should have gained a lot of benefits from it." Wang Xingping smiled naturally, his so-called benefits to Ni Zhu Mo would never think that he was referring to yellow and white things when he heard it.

Ni Zhumo was also calm, "His Royal Highness Corporal Lixian, since I was invited into the house, I have been treated as a teacher, asked for advice on medical matters, and His Royal Highness took care of him, the old man did get some benefits, my book "Materia Medica" is about to be paid recently, I am going back to Guiyang this time to mention to the virtuous nephew, after all, this time I entered Guiyang thanks to your support all the way, and there are many Wang stewards on the way to Huguang. ”

Wang Xingping waved his hand and said, "It is also Mr. who is kind to his sister first, and my mother specially takes care of Mr. not to neglect him." He changed his words and asked the key again, "Is it that the Min Wangfu wants to publish Mr.'s medical book?" ”

"Exactly." Ni Zhumo smiled even more happily.

It is no wonder that at this time, the printing of books, with the best of the major royal palaces, is because the palace has both financial resources and to avoid suspicion, although the vassal kings use a lot of money, and the heavenly family is also willing to reward, and the imperial villages given by various places are thousands of acres at every turn, but the constraints on the princes are also extremely strict. The feudal kings were too frugal or even extravagant, which would make the emperor feel inappropriate, so the princes' favorite was to write books and speeches, and also to engrave some famous works. But the military book and the political book will never dare to touch, this is to prevent the court from suspicion. Therefore, in addition to Buddhism, Taoism and Confucian classics, the most common ones are medical books, and the royal palace does not hesitate to produce books, so the books sold on the market at this time are the most rare books printed by various royal palaces.

I don't have to ask and know that Ni Zhu Mo must have won the heart of the old highness in the past few months, Zhu Dingxi has been in his seventies every year, and he must be sick and old, Ni Zhu Mo should be very helpful in the diagnosis and treatment of his illness these days, otherwise if the old Min King is idle, how can he make a special trip to find a doctor, although Wugang to Jingzhou is adjacent, but it will also take dozens of miles.

After thinking about this, Wang Xingping asked again, "His Royal Highness values Mr. so much, how could he let Mr. come back to Guizhou?" ”

Ni Zhumo didn't hide it, "In fact, His Royal Highness contracted a wind disease a few years ago, and the old man also exhausted his means, and he was haggard for a while, but fortunately, now it is finally good, I can only come back for a trip, one is to have a beginning and an end, and then I am afraid that I will have to go back to Wugang, I can't come and go without understanding, and I have to make this matter clear to you in person." ”

"This is natural, but now I have taken the position of deputy Qianhu of the Jie Rong Institute, and there are many brothers who have been injured in the land dispute with the local officials before, and I still want to bother Mr. One or two, but I don't want Mr. to leave again soon."

"It turns out that this is the case, this is not in a hurry, I will also delay coming back this time, and I will not leave immediately. Since it was the sergeant of the guard who was injured, as a healer, I also helped me. ”

Wang Xingping said again, "In addition, there is a reluctant request, after the April government test, I want to implement the military doctor system in the Jierong Institute, I don't know if Mr. can teach a few apprentices for me." ”

"April ......" Ni Zhumo thought for a while and said: "Time is tight, but it's not bad to teach some fur to save people's lives, I will do my best." ”

"Then Xingping will thank Mr. Ze on behalf of you."

Ni Zhumo smiled when he heard this, "It is estimated that the word "robe" will not be called for a long time, I have heard that you have participated in the county examination of this department, and you must be in high school in today's county examination, and it is estimated that you will not have to do this military position next year." ”

Seeing Ni Zhumo say this, Wang Xingping just skimmed it out, "It's not a secret, Xingping has not yet come out of the filial piety period, this exam was originally not counted, but it can't be beaten by Senior Brother Yang's noise, so it is regarded as a practice, and he will have to retake the exam when he is out of the great filial piety." ”

Ni Zhumo's face moved slightly when he heard this, and he sighed again: "You can think of your aunt like this, you should be even more happy when you hear it, the virtuous nephew is rare, he will have a chance one day, I will congratulate you on your success." ”

Wang Xingping also told the truth, "Now that my affairs are complicated, and I am opening up a business route for the Futai, this Huguang business is also to be done, if the old gentleman can say a few good words for me in front of His Royal Highness, the younger generation will be grateful." ”

Ni Zhumo said: "The Minwang Mansion does have some business in Huguang, if you want to open up, I can recommend one or two for you, but I don't dare to pack a ticket if it succeeds or not." ”

"This is natural, and the younger generation naturally knows the severity."

The vassal king of the Ming Dynasty, although politically controlled very strictly, but economically the court gave a lot of compensation, not only the imperial village given, but also the right to buy and underwrite salt, tea, and commercial goods.

After Wang Xingping chose the county trial list, he went back to Ni Zhumo to go back to the Rong Institute, and before that, he had a lot to worry about.

In the afternoon, Xiao Liu ran back, saying that there was no book "Book Edition" in the bookstore, but the boss said that there was still a set in the Jiangxi Guild Hall, but others refused to sell it, and I was afraid that the book was not enough for two taels of silver.

It turned out that there were more than 100 volumes of this book, no wonder there was no stock in the bookstore, and the boss also said that if he wanted to pay the fixed money first, he would go to Nanchang Mansion to ask. Wang Xingping thought about it and felt troublesome, he gave instructions to Xiao Liu, wrote a note of his name and handed it to him, but when Xiao Liu came back again in the evening, he was full of joy, and now Wang Xingping has a little name, and he has his name and instructions to think about how much he should have some face, and sure enough, this thing was done.

The rented car contained an atlas full of four rattan boxes, all of which were the complete copies of "Book Edition" borrowed from the Jiangxi Guild Hall, and the two families moved them several times before they were all carried into Wang Xingping's study. Sitting on the rattan chair in front of the bookcase, I picked up a book and flipped through it, and I clearly saw a familiar name written on the cover of the book - Wan Shanglie.

This Wan Shanglie is a native of Nanchang Mansion, Jiangxi, Wanli 19 years of people, although it is only a sub-list, but the knowledge is quite good, is the representative of the Jiangyou Yangming School. He was proficient in easy learning, and he was quite fond of the way of learning things, and even in Nanchang, under the influence of his teacher, he had a good relationship with the missionaries, and he had a more tolerant attitude towards Western science and technology, which was quite similar to the former Qianfu Guo Zizhang, who had already become a scholar.

This old man Wan has written a lot, but now Wang Xingping's "Book Edition" is only compiled by him, the real author is his mentor Zhang Huang, this old Mr. Zhang Huang has passed away for ten years, although he was just a show talent during his lifetime, and his official position was only to Shuntian when he was at the highest level, but he was the leader of Jiangxi Wangmen, and Wu and Bi, Deng Yuanxi, Liu Yuanqing and the four gentlemen of Jiangyou. When he was the head of the White Deer Cave Academy, he also invited Matteo Ricci to give lectures in the church, propagating Western science and technology, and setting a precedent for the Ming Dynasty as a 'visiting scholar', which opened up a lot of situation for the spread of Catholicism in Nanchang. Although Mr. Zhang's name is not obvious, there are many people among his students, and there is no shortage of feudal officials.

Wang Xingping did not find this book on a whim, it really has another purpose, this master Wan is now serving in the Shaowu prefect of Fujian, this "Book Compilation" is compiled by him in Shao Wushi, the secrets of heaven and man recorded in the middle and the outline of the criminal administration of soldiers, peasants, rites and music, are all-encompassing, and they are quite well-known among the scholars and doctors in the world, but this book is not published much, so Wang Xingping has not read it.

And the connection between this Wanfutai in Fujian and Wang Xingping makes the root of his study today is in a copy, not long ago this Wan old man was demoted because he was impeached by the official officials, and the court sympathized with the old minister and gave a criminal department squire the title of Zuo Qianping Yue Governor, and now he is on the way, and it is estimated that he should arrive after the government test.

Now the prefect of Pingyue is a native of Dianjiang, Sichuan, Wang Xingping has no relationship around him, since he knows that Wan Shanglie is about to take office, it is better to make friends with this new appointment, at least this "Book Edition" seems to have an appetite for himself, I believe that this Master Wan is probably still easy to deal with, and whether his plan to mine phosphate in Weng'an can be fulfilled can fall on this book.

It's funny to think about it, Wang Xingping has gradually realized that the relationship between master and apprentice and the same year on the way to this subject is really wonderful, as long as this layer is involved, many things will have a way to solve it, just like the Mr. Pang Jie who is now helping the Futai on the side of Shiqian Mansion is Wang Mingde's fellow list, Wang Mingde's letter, and the relationship with the local officials and gentry can be regarded as a setup, compared to Zhang Heming, the foreign minister, but it is more appropriate.

Wang Xingping couldn't help but think of an interesting anecdote that was only brought out today because of this matter, the original uncle Wang Mingde from the family was actually a man in the forty-third year of Wanli, and he didn't remember it before and naturally never asked, but in this way, it was the same year as his senior brother Ma Shiying, no wonder it was taken out by Yang Wencong to gossip.
