Chapter 312: Going to the West
Wang Shouren looked at Fang Jifan with a calm face.
Listening to Wang Shouren's words, Fang Jifan raised his head and muttered for a long time before saying: "Your temperament, if you lose, you will lose in Gengzhi, of course, the teacher is also so upright, but the teacher has suffered a lot of losses for this, you are now not only an official, but also start to be a teacher like a teacher, and you must learn to be tactful in the future, otherwise you will have to suffer a big loss like a teacher." β
This is from the heart!
"You look at your senior brother Xu Jing, he is very sleek, very flexible, very good at behaving and doing things properly, if you can learn from him, you can rest assured as a teacher, the teacher knows that you are very powerful, those who are chattering will be afraid of you, but in this world, with fists alone, can not solve the problem, such as a teacher, you should convince people with virtue."
Wang Shouren sighed, suddenly looked at Fang Jifan steadily, and asked a question: "But Senior Brother Xu is also very upright, he quarreled with the waiter of the Hanlin Academy of Culture and History for the matter of the sea chart, and almost fought, but fortunately he was persuaded by someone, otherwise the waiter is old and has to be beaten to death by Senior Brother Xu......"
And such a thing?
Fang Jifan was stunned.
In his impression, Xu Jing is the most worry-free for himself, except for occasionally being lustful and often sneakily avoiding his brothers and running to indescribable places.
But...... This guy actually got into a fight with someone?
It's almost not ...... No, it almost killed someone?
Thinking of this, Fang Jifan suddenly became angry, and suddenly slapped the case and said, "Which eyeless waiter?" Dog-like things, he doesn't put Heng's father in his eyes, he just looks down on our successor, and if he doesn't kill him for the sake of his teacher, he writes the square characters upside down. β
Hengfu is the character of Xu Jing.
Wang Shouren hurriedly persuaded: "Teacher, don't be impulsive, Senior Brother Xu is not injured, but the ...... the waiter."
"As his junior brother, when you learned about this, you didn't go to help, what's the use of you learning this martial arts?" Fang Jifan's eyes widened, and he pointed at Wang Shouren angrily.
Wang Shouren hurriedly bowed down and said: "The protΓ©gΓ© is dead, but when the students and a few senior brothers rushed there, I saw Senior Brother Xu riding on the body of the waiter, who was over fifty years old, and was crying bitterly, I waited until I saw Senior Brother Xu raise his fist to fight, so I pulled Senior Brother Xu away......"
Fang Jifan's eyes were cold, and he said in a deep voice: "It seems that one day, if the teacher rides on someone else's body and raises his fists to fight, you will definitely not help, but will pull the teacher away, hey......"
ββ¦β¦β
Wang Shouren already felt that he was very difficult to deal with people, and now in the face of his mentor, he felt that his brain was turning too slowly, and he had never realized that he was so bad at dealing with people.
FANG JIFAN ORIGINALLY THOUGHT THAT WANG SHOUREN WOULD SCREAM AND SAY THAT THE STUDENTS AND OTHERS MUST HAVE BEATEN THE DOG THIEF WITH THEIR TEACHER, AND NIANG DIDN'T RECOGNIZE HIM.
But Wang Shouren held back for a long time, but said: "In the eyes of the students, the teacher has a noble character, although he loves to joke, but he is definitely not a person who will repay him. β
ββ¦β¦β
That's a nice thing to say.
But Fang Jifan felt that something was missing.
But now I can't care about this problem, young man Wang Shouren, Xu Jing's troubles are the most important, why has the guy's heart changed so much? Could it be that these days are busy with official business, and there are fewer indescribable places, so the temperament has become rougher?
Being a father, no, it's a teacher, it's really worrying.
Fang Jifan thought for a while and said, "In the Hanlin Academy, how to deal with this matter?" β
Wang Shouren said: "After Bachelor Shen of Hanlin learned about this, he did not severely punish Senior Brother Xu, but just asked him to apologize to the waiter in public. β
Fang Jifan nodded, this Bachelor Shen seems to be quite good, it is said that he writes extremely good moral articles, but now it seems that he is also a very flexible person.
Otherwise, if this Hanlin scholar is more serious, and Xu Jingge is removed from the Hanlin Academy on this ground, Fang Jifan can guarantee that there is a debtor and a master, and this Shen Wen can live a good life one day, and Fang Jifan will not be surnamed Fang in the future, but will be surnamed Shen.
"Well, he's kind of an acquaintance." Fang Jifan nodded with satisfaction.
At this time, Wang Shouren said: "But Senior Brother Xu still insisted that the chart was wrong and refused to apologize." β
ββ¦β¦β
Fang Jifan: "......"
The cause and effect of the matter is actually very simple.
Xu Jing is a Shu Jishi, because he is young and has little qualifications, the so-called Shu Ji Shi is probably the same as the miscellaneous work of the Hanlin Academy. The attendants of the Museum of Culture and History were ordered to sort out the nautical chart materials collected from Liu Daxia.
As a student, of course, it is impossible to do it yourself, so these things are left to the next Gujishi to do.
But in the process of sorting out the information, Xu Jing found many mistakes.
The Xu family is a family in the south of the Yangtze River, and the most prominent achievement of their ancestors is that when the Mongols went south, they collected a large number of astronomical and geographical materials in the Song Dynasty, and after these disasters, many valuable materials have long been lost.
Even if there are still ancient books, in fact, not too many people care, because of this large number of ancient documents that survived the chaos of the Song and Yuan dynasties. Most of the works involved are astronomy, geography, travelogues, etc., and now the eight stocks are taken from scholars, and the four books and five classics are not enough to read, who cares about these.
These valuable materials are the heirlooms of the Xu family, which have been studied by the Xu family for several generations, and Xu Jing has been in contact with them since he was a child, and he is extremely proficient in this astronomy and geography.
During the Song Dynasty, a large number of Song Dynasty merchant ships went to the Western Ocean and even farther away to conduct maritime trade in coastal places such as Fujian at that time, and many private merchants recorded what they saw and heard overseas. In the Yuan Dynasty, in order to balance a large number of Han people, the Mongols adopted a discriminatory policy against the Han people in the south, and instead appointed large cannibals on a large scale, so at that time, a large number of big cannibals began to live in Fujian, and at the same time, the trade of the sea began to become more and more frequent.
All of this has been recorded.
Countless records, in the early Ming Dynasty, after the war, the world was settled, people were at ease, Emperor Hongwu opened the imperial examination, and the scholars began to study the eight stocks, and no one studied these handed down materials.
However, several generations of the Xu family are still working hard for this, they collect ancient books everywhere, and have detailed a large number of astronomical geography, customs and customs information, and on this basis for research, the highest building of the Xu family, neither the ancestral hall of the family, nor the front hall, but the 'ten thousand volume building' built by Xu Jing's great-grandfather, in this ten thousand volume building, they continue to sort out the information, the various Song and Yuan Dynasty data to corroborate each other, and the countless ancient books have been sorted out.
Therefore, Xu Jing, as a descendant of the Xu family, has been smart since childhood, and has long been under the influence of his fathers and ancestors, and has begun to browse a large number of ancient books since he was a child, and has written down countless ancient books, and even the documents brought out by a large number of cannibals in Quanzhou from overseas at that time.
He pointed out the error in the labeling of some islands in the information of the Western Ocean, and the results were ...... Of course, he was soft-spoken, and no one paid attention to him.
But Xu Jing was in a hurry, he felt that he was right, so he insisted on his own opinion, and finally had a conflict with the waiter.
In the evening of the next day, Xu Jing returned to Fangfu after being on duty.
He was in the Hanlin Academy, and his life was very unpleasant.
After all, he was originally sleek and flexible, but he suddenly made such a fuss, although he was not punished by a big punishment, but the other Hanlin was somewhat indifferent to him.
When he arrived at the front hall, he reluctantly squeezed out a smile, wiped his forehead as usual, brushed off the messy hair in front of his forehead, and pretended to be a graceful appearance, but as soon as he entered, he saw the teacher sitting in the front hall with a gloomy face.
"Student...... I've seen my teacher. Xu Jing hurriedly stepped forward and saluted with a smile.
Fang Jifan had one eye, and he patted the case: "The good things you did in the Hanlin Academy." β
Xu Jing was originally a fool, but when he saw that his teacher was angry, he immediately knelt down and said: "Yes, the student will die, and the student should not have a conflict with Liu Shixue, but ......"
He wanted to speak, but he stopped.
Fang Jifan still looked at him with a calm face: "But what is it?" β
"The collation of the information on the Western Ocean is for the preparation of my Ming Dynasty's trip to the Western Ocean, but if there is a slight mistake, the consequences are unpredictable. In those documents of Emperor Wen's period, many places are missing because of their age, and some places, perhaps due to the impatience of the scribes in the fleet at that time, were incorrectly marked. β
"Student ......" Facing Fang Jifan's cold face, Xu Jing's face finally showed grievances: "Although the student is only responsible for tidying up, he found that several islands are actually of wrong standards, and there is another one, even though there is no fresh water on the island, it is marked that there is." Teacher, this is going to be a big thing. If you go to the Western Ocean according to this chart, the fleet thinks that there will be fresh water on that island, and if there is not enough fresh water, and you will not be able to draw fresh water when you land on this island, how many people will die in the whole fleet? For such a big matter, students don't dare to joke because they want to correct these mistakes. β
"The students have been studying the ancient books of their families since they were young, and among them are three great food merchants, and two maritime merchants in the Song Dynasty, all of whom once said that the island should never be docked...... This can all be corroborated by each other. The so-called lonely evidence does not stand, and the nautical chart data of the Hanlin Academy only comes from the words of one family, and a large number of maritime merchants in the Song and Yuan dynasties ......"
Fang Jifan frowned: "You mean, there are a lot of mistakes in Western maps?" β
Xu Jing raised his head and stared at Fang Jifan: "There are a lot of errors, these materials have very big problems, and it is not from the original version. β
"Not the original?" Fang Jifan looked at Xu Jing with some suspicion.
Xu Jing continued: "The maps and materials of Emperor Wen's period will be archived at the Ministry of War, but after all, the paper is old, and once it is old, these materials will inevitably be damp or poorly preserved. Therefore, every 20 years, the military department will re-transcribe. In other words, a copy of the original is copied and then sealed. β
