Chapter 31 I was well fed
Wang Jian comforted: "Don't worry, when I am done in a few days, I will build a church for you, and then you will have a dojo and can preach." ”
Tang Ruowang was overjoyed when he heard it, but he didn't be happy for a long time, Wang Jian was naturally not so kind, and built a church for foreigners, and he continued: "But you also know that I was driven out of the imperial capital, and I was also so poor that I had to find a way to build the church." ”
Seeing Tang Ruowang's sad face, Wang Jian said: "This matter is simple, I will build a firearms bureau in Horseshoe Ridge in the south of the city, you are responsible for the construction of firearms there and the recruitment of manpower, I will pay you according to the results of your research and development, supervise the construction well, I will be rewarded, whether you have money to build a church, it depends on your own ability." ”
Tang Ruowang nodded hurriedly when he heard this, for him, making firearms was originally his strength. But he also knew that playing with firearms was a bottomless pit for burning money, and he said: "Your Majesty, this firearm is an extraordinary weapon, and it will be gone after it is burned, and it costs a lot!" ”
Wang Jian asked Qi'er to take out the 100,000 silver taels of bills obtained from the previous auction, and said: "Don't worry, I have my own way, you can use this money to buy gunpowder and utensils, and I will give it to you after it is not enough, whether it is money, things, or people, how much you want, how much I will give you, but you have to remember that I only need the best gun, the most powerful cannon, don't take some rags and prevaricate!" ”
Tang Ruowang happily took the bill, excited, as long as he had Wang Jian's full support, why worry about not being able to make good guns, and presumably Wang Jian would not treat himself badly when the time came, and the money for building the church would be settled. He had also been in Beijing before, cooperated with the people of the Ministry of Industry to revise the calendar, and made a lot of firearms, but he didn't catch much oil and water, and now that he has a salary, he doesn't have to look at other people's faces and touch nails everywhere. He praised Wang Jian and said, "You are the most generous, the most forgiving, the greatest monarch, and God will bless you." Amen"
Wang Jian saw that he left with confidence, and couldn't help but sigh that this world is easy to fool without patent law: what's yours is mine, mine is still mine, and it also makes you grateful for my generosity. Compared with the quarrels between countries for science and technology patents at every turn in later generations, I am almost ashamed to death. He believes that with the flaunting role of John Tang, the "red-haired ghosts and green-haired ghosts" in Jiangnan will continue to pour into Jinan and dedicate their patents in shipbuilding and firearms.
Besides, the debate on human nature on the stage has entered a white heat, and the theme of this year's debate is human nature.
Sexual goodness? Sexual evil?
Wang Jian listened to the chatter of the scholars on the high platform, and became interested for a while, and he only cared about explaining the matter of the Firearms Bureau to Tang Ruowang, but he didn't hear what they said. He raised his feet and was about to leave, when an elegant female voice came from the stage: "This son, slow down." ”
Wang Jian looked around blankly, and saw that the eyes of the surrounding scholars were drifting to him, and he knew that the girl was calling him.
"Is there anything wrong with the girl?" Wang Jian was puzzled, in fact, he also noticed this girl, dressed as a scholar, she had bright eyes and bright teeth, and her temperament was moving. gives people a bookish atmosphere, so that Wang Jian really understands what it means to "have poetry and books in the belly".
If Chen Yuanyuan is a demon immortal in the seventy-two caves, then she is a thirty-six heavenly immortal.
Not only did he notice Wang Qianqian, but Wang Qianqian also noticed him, he was followed by the housekeeper of Zheng Yuqiao's family, and there were guards in the house, so it was difficult not to be noticed. Seeing that Wang Jian talked to a foreign monk for a long time, she was not interested in their wonderful debates, and her attitude was very disdainful, but she didn't think much about it, thinking that Wang Jian was Zheng Yuqiao's guest and a talented person. That's why I left my words and wanted to hear Wang Jian's high opinions.
Wang Qianqian lightly opened his lips and asked, "Didn't you ask the son's name?" ”
"Haha, my name is Wang Dalabun, Bandebedib Dobiruonjan."
Wang Qianqian was speechless, she thought that Wang Jian was unwilling to say her real name, so she had to spare this question, and said: "The little girl sees that the son is magnificent, and she must have seen extraordinary knowledge, can you teach you a lesson or two?" ”
"What, what's your debate?" He listened to the audience for a long time, and he knew what they were saying, but he thought that these scholars were well fed, and the Qing soldiers immediately went south, and they were still discussing boring philosophical topics with relish.
Wang Qianqian secretly hated that she had no eyes, and regarded the scoundrel as a well-educated person, and she was a little angry for a while: this person was a scoundrel at all, and after listening to it for a long time, she didn't even know the debate. However, she has been cultivated very well since she was a child, and she will not show it even if she is angry, she said politely: "Childe, this year's debate topic is, human nature, familiar good, familiar with evil?" ”
Wang Jian was a little surprised by her performance, and in the later generations, he often touched many nails because of his stinky problems, and was thrown off a lot of faces, and it was the first time to see a woman with such good cultivation and good heart. Even Chen Yuanyuan, don't look at her charming and charming appearance in front of outsiders, she will be angered by Wang Jian's words.
However, if he doesn't say that he is ugly today, it is estimated that it will be difficult to step down, Wang Jian thought about it and said: "Human nature is good and evil, Yasheng Mencius has a saying, everyone has four ends, that is, compassion and benevolence; The heart of shame is also the end of righteousness; The heart of resignation, the end of courtesy; The heart of right and wrong, the end of wisdom. So, as long as this person has four ends, human nature is good. ”
With a slight smile, he pointed to a handsome boy next to him, and said, "Childe seems to have just summarized what Senior Brother Tang said just now. ”
The senior brother surnamed Tang nodded proudly, as if it was an honor to be named by her.
The reason why Wang Jian teased her before actually had another purpose, that is, to make her ashamed, so that she could mess up so that she could get by, but she was not affected, and pointed out Wang Jian's fault.
The onlookers thought that Wang Jian had some insight, and when they saw that Wang Jian just repeated what others said, they all burst into laughter.
Where can Qi'er allow others to laugh at Wang Jian, and she is about to do it when she presses the frost sword. Wang Jian gave her a look and told her to calm down. Yao'er also glared at those scholars angrily, in her mind, Wang Jian was right in everything she said, and she knew everything, how could she let them laugh?
Where does Wang Jian know what Confucian classics, let alone take them out for debate, he racked his brains, thought of a story on the "Reader", and said: "This dynasty is a great Confucian, Wang Yangming once caught a heinous prisoner, the prisoner said that he was murderous, and there was no goodwill in his heart, Wang Yangming said that he had a good heart, in order to prove it, he asked him to take off his clothes, the prisoner took off one after another according to his words, and when there was only one pants left, the prisoner was shy, and he refused to take it off, Wang Yangming said, this is your shameful heart!" Wang Jian paused and said, "Therefore, even the heinous prisoners have a heart of shame, so human nature is naturally good." ”
Wang Qianqian asked, "Oh? If even prisoners have a heart for goodness, why does he treat human life like a mustard? ”
Wang Jian was right when he heard it, wasn't it? Could it be that she advocates the evil of human nature? Then follow her, it's all right. So he spoke again: "Hou Sheng Xunzi once said: Human life is also a villain. Therefore, human nature is also evil. ”
Wang Qianqian didn't expect Wang Jian to be so undisciplined, like a scoundrel, and change his position so quickly, he suspected that his ears were wrong, and asked uncertainly: "Then the son thinks that human nature is evil?" ”
Wang Jian thought that she was standing on her side, and said proudly: "That's nature, everyone is not a saint, as the so-called high mountains look up, how can the world reach it?" It is better to go back and look for answers in your own heart, and it is human nature to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. The reason why the Six Kingdoms were destroyed was because they did not talk about benevolence and righteousness, but only about the pros and cons. For the sake of petty profits, they were suspicious of each other's merits, and finally they were broken by the tyrannical Qin one by one. The trade-off between good and bad is said to be righteous by the saints, and we mortals are naturally said to be profitable. People in the world often do not make judgments according to right and wrong, but make their own judgments according to interests, and what is good for themselves, they will do it, and if it is not good for themselves, even if it is the right thing, they will not do it. Therefore, human nature is naturally evil. ”
Wang Qianqian smiled slightly, and said: "Childe seems to be suspected of taking words out of context, good character is like a high mountain, Childe turned around when he saw the mountain high, but he didn't see the full sentence of the poem: The mountain looks up, the scenery stops, why does Childe only say the first half?" And Taishi Gong said: Although you can't get there, you still want to go to it. Since human nature aspires to good qualities, how can it be evil? ”
Wang Jian was dumbfounded by her cannonballs, he originally thought that the high mountain was to describe the high mountain, such as the meaning of difficulty and danger, and turn back when encountered, but now he realized that he had misunderstood! And in order to please her, I followed her, but the result was still wrong!
Wang Jian made a big oolong, and his generous words full of confidence made him even more embarrassed. Coupled with the contemptuous and mocking gazes of a group of scholars around him, he was also forced to be anxious, and said in a loud voice: "The courtesan has a good evening scene, and the fireworks are okay in my life; The virgin lost her white head, and she was miserable for half her life. How can the rights and wrongs of human nature be clear? ”
All of a sudden, the entire academy was completely fried.
"Shameless! Prostitutes are as good as they can do, and adulteresses are even more shameful to the world! ”
"That is, that is, how can such a holy academy say such unreasonable words?"
"How can you speak so frankly about prostitutes and adulteresses!"
More scholars were also indignant, they thought that the result of the high-ranking debate was stirred up by Wang Jian and rude, and they all pointed at Wang Jian is spray: "Get out of here, the academy does not welcome you,"
"Get down,"
"yes, get down!" Even someone threw their shoes on the stage, but fortunately they were easily avoided by Wang Jian.
