The vitality of the person is important, and the talent is the most important of the country.

The imperial court wanted to set up an ordnance supervisor and reopen the cannon casting workshop, and Wang Yan's first thought was Song Yingxing, who was proficient in machinery, firearms, gunpowder, and was also proficient in Western studies, so he was really the best candidate.

Song Yingxing has also been a small official before, the highest to the military patrol road, although he wrote "Tiangong Kaiwu", but he does not know much about the affairs of the Ministry of Industry, and he knows the situation of the imperial court, now among the six ministries of the imperial court, the status of the Ministry of Industry is obviously the existence of the tail of the car, at this time the soldiers, officials, and households are very short of personnel, and the situation of the Ministry of Industry must be even more bleak.

The craftsmen, drawings, and documents of the imperial court casting firearms have obviously been completely lost, and he has now set up an ordnance supervisor and reopened the cannon casting workshop. Therefore, he could not guarantee that he would be able to set these two institutions up and running on his own.

Wang Yan seemed to understand what he was thinking, and said: "Mr. Meizhou, don't worry, I will give my full support to the Ordnance Supervisor and the Cannon Foundry, and the money you need will be directly allocated from the Governor without going to the Household Department." In addition, it is up to the gentleman to decide what kind of talent he needs and who he wants to hire. ”

After hearing this, Song Yingxing put his mind at ease and saluted slightly: "Since this is the case, the lower officials are willing to accept this errand." ”

"So very good~" Wang Yan nodded, and said happily: "Brother Ling was sent by me to Macao to recruit Portuguese craftsmen, and when I come back, I will ask him to help deal with the affairs of the ordnance supervisor, hoping to make a cannon as soon as possible." ”

"Don't worry, within two months, I will definitely resume production in the cannon foundry~"

At that moment, Song Yingxing immediately said goodbye and left, Wang Yan nodded with satisfaction, and then another soldier said: "Guogong, Xu Niangzi just sent someone over, saying that the clansmen from Hengyang had arrived, and asked Guogong if he would go back to the backyard to see him." ”

When Wang Yan heard this, he was overjoyed, when he was in Ganzhou, he wrote a letter to people to send to Hengyang and Changsha, and asked the clansmen to move south to Guangzhou.

Wang Yan looked at the time, it was probably too late, and it was already past the time for lunch, so he got up and ordered: "Let the kitchen prepare some porridge for many gentlemen." ”

After Wang Yan finished speaking, he turned around and walked back to the backyard quickly, and saw a lot of scholars wearing white robes and square scarves from afar, who should be young children of the Wang family.

At this time, Wang Yan had already seen the eldest uncle in the crowd, and the clan brother Wang Jiezhi, he didn't expect that they would arrive so quickly in the land of thousands of miles.

This time, Wang Yan mainly wanted Wang Jiezhi to come over, but he really didn't expect that the nearly seventy-eight-year-old uncle Wang Zhaopin would also come to Guangzhou through mountains and rivers.

Seeing this, Wang Yan immediately stepped forward and said with the salute of the juniors: "Uncle, brother." ”

At that moment, Wang Yan and Wang Jiezhi, one left and one right, helped Wang Zhaozhi to walk into the house, and said while walking Wang Yan: "Uncle is close to old age, and he is still pulling mountains and wading over, if there is anything wrong with his body, how can Yan be right about a few brothers." He listened to Wang Yan's words, and said softly: "Uncle is this age, I didn't plan to come over, but I can't rest assured, so I came to Shiheng as a staff officer~"

When Wang Yan heard this, his heart warmed, and at this time, the three of them had already walked into the room, and Wang Yan said respectfully: "Uncle has worked hard all the way, so I will rest today, and I will come to ask Uncle for advice tomorrow." ”

Wang Chaopin waved his hand and said: "I'm not busy resting, I'm nearly eighty years old, and if I don't say some things, I'm afraid I won't have a chance in the future." ”

Wang Yan was slightly stunned, so he had to help Wang Dynasty to sit down at the table, and then listened to him say: "Last year, Shiheng led the troops through Hengyang, and the uncle sighed in his heart, my Wang family has produced a talent for auxiliary countries, but I didn't expect that the achievements of Shiheng are even higher than I imagined, in just one year, Shiheng defeated more than 100,000 soldiers in the Qing court, restored the land of Chu and Jiangxi, and saved the Son of Heaven from danger. ”

When Wang Yan heard this, he already understood the meaning of Wang Chao's appointment, he first glanced outside the house, and his own soldiers immediately drew their intentions, retreated, and locked up the house.

At this time, Wang Yan stood up and bowed and said, "Please also ask the uncle to teach me!" ”

Wang Chaopin sighed slightly, let Wang Yan sit down, and then sighed: "My Wang family is a teacher, and I am a teacher of Jiangyou Wangmen, which is Yangming orthodoxy. I have taken Mr. Yang Ming as an example all my life, and I want to become a saint like Mr. Yangming, but after all, I still can't let go of my family and can't be selfless. ”

Wang Yan didn't speak, but listened attentively to Wang Chao's appointment and continued: "Today's matter, Shi Hengxing's soldiers are used to resist strong enemies, and they enter the court to assist the Son of Heaven. However, on the occasion of the Spring and Autumn Period, Zhou Tianzi is weak, this Qi Huan, Jin Wen can stand in the world! Today, he is wise and ambitious, and Shiheng moved to Guangzhou, which is no different from Cao Mengde moving the Han Emperor to Xu Du! Today, it is not comparable to Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, but I also do not have the heart of fierce virtue in Shiheng. At this time, the strong enemy is on the side, Shiheng and Jinshang may be able to work together and be safe, but if the strong enemy is defeated, my Wang clan will probably be cooked by rabbits and dogs. Shiheng can have his current status, he must have thought about it in his heart, Uncle is going to ask you today, which way do you want to go? ”

Wang Zhaopin's words, with Wang Yan's intelligence, naturally understood it for a long time, but he never mentioned it to anyone, but hid these worries in his heart, and now when he heard Wang Zhaopin say it, he still had a cold sweat on his back.

"It's not a secret, uncle's words, Yan also thought that the generations of the past generations who have been highly meritorious and shocked the lord will not die well, Yan just wants to learn Guo Ziyi, I'm afraid he can't learn it, but the things of the world, someone has to do it, if everyone only thinks about their own interests, then the world will not be saved." Wang Yan said wistfully: "If the country lives and dies, how can it be avoided because of misfortune and good fortune." Although Yan is not talented, he is willing to be the first in the world, not to mention that things may not develop to be so pessimistic. Yan advocates the Song law, and now he has begun to lay out, prepare for reform, and limit imperial power, and when the time comes, my Wang family may not really have a way back. ”

"People have no foresight, but they must have near-term worries." Wang Chaoping sighed, "Since Shiheng can think of this, he has already prepared in his heart, and the uncle is relieved." It's too early to talk about this, Uncle is just giving you a wake-up call. Now that you have an idea in your mind, do what you want. Now that you think you are in such a high position, even if you want to step down, it is no longer possible. Now the rise and fall of my Wang clan is also tied to you, so whether you become Yue Wumu or Cao Mengde in the future, my Wang clan will support you! ”

When Wang Yan heard this, thinking about seeing the children of the Wang family in the courtyard before, he couldn't help but feel warm in his heart, this is the entire Wang clan, for his ambitions, he has no hesitation to embark on a road that he himself has not seen clearly!
