After Cheng Guoxiang made a statement, Wang Xiangjin finally nodded.

Although he has not been in the capital for a long time, he still knows who is credible and who is not, who is a party for personal gain, and who is honest and honest. Like Yang Sichang, who has been in the place for a long time, he doesn't know, but those people who have been in the dynasty for many years, how many pairs of eyes are staring, it is easy to hide from the emperor, and it is easy to hide from the world, unless he can have the humility of Wang Mang when he was not usurped.

At this time, Min Hongxue, the secretary of the ministry, handed Wang Xiangjin a list of officials transferred to the capital.

Speaking of this official book, Min Hongxue, as Wen Tiren's hardcore in the history of parallel time and space, in the fourth year of Chongzhen, after being promoted to the secretary of the ministry in the fourth year of Chongzhen, he was impeached by Lu Zhenfei of the imperial history, saying that he "knotted power, built a private person, and since Bingquan, the rule of officials has deteriorated." So Min Hongxue resigned himself.

But between planes, there are always subtle differences. In this plane, due to various reasons, Lu Zhenfei did not impeach Min Hongxue, so he has been a secretary of the ministry, and he has done it until now. One of the possible reasons is that although he has always helped Wen Tiren to do things, he has always been cautious, not seeking merit, but seeking no fault. was not impeached, but he also worked in the position of the secretary for six years. Seeing his colleagues changing back and forth, he became more and more cautious, and he looked like Zhou Daodeng was second.

Wang Xiangjin got the list, swept it from the beginning, and then pouted, one-third had asked for guidance under his door, one-third hung Xu Guangqi's signboard, and finally the remaining one-third were some stragglers, who were generally willing to go down to the grassroots level and attach importance to agriculture, and he also knew something. At the moment, he knew in his heart, and he could hold down these people.

However, when he saw the end, he was also stunned, pointing to the last name and asking: "Who is this 'Song Yingxing' in Fenyi County, Yuanzhou Prefecture, Jiangxi Province?" What are the skills? ”

It's no wonder that he asked, Song Yingxing's position is too conspicuous in this list of county magistrates, and he has no grade.

Min Hongxue obviously knew that he would ask this question, and even he had asked this question himself, pointing at Cao Huachun, meaning that this was the person recommended by Cao Huachun.

Wang Xiangjin was stunned for a moment, turned his head to look at Cao Huachun, and there was a look of exploration in his eyes. In his understanding, Cao Huachun doesn't look like a foreign minister.

Cao Huachun took out a book from his arms, handed it to Wang Xiangjin, and said, "It was recommended by Jinyiwei." ”

Wang Xiangjin didn't take the book, glanced at everyone, and his face was very cold: "What does Jinyiwei mean?" Can't trust the old man? When will Jin Yiwei be able to get involved in government politics again? ”

Cao Huachun shook his head and persuaded: "The boss is angry. This man is not Jinyiwei. ”

Then he explained: "The boss should know that the brocade guards have the duty to inspect the world. Since Bi Sheng movable type printing, the dissemination of books has been much easier. There are many people who publish books at their own expense. Some books that disseminate knowledge and promote righteousness are still self-sufficient, but there are also some books that are simply unsightly. To this end, Jinyiwei has a special department to check the world's new publications, and try to ban certain prohibited books before they are published. Even if you can't, you must ban it as soon as possible after Fu Zi to reduce its impact. ”

Wang Xiangjin listened to him quietly. The others already knew before, but they didn't interject, waiting to see Wang Xiangjin's reaction.

"When it was said that officials who were good at agriculture entered Beijing to sign signs, in addition to the Ministry of Officials, Jinyiwei also took out a list. In the process, due to manpower problems, a brocade guard who was responsible for checking books was transferred to help. Knowing that he was looking for someone who was good at agriculture, he recommended a book to Shangguan, which was about to be published this year, and he had just checked that it was not a banned book, so the impression was still there. And the author of this book is this Song Yingxing. ”

Wang Xiangjin's expression thawed when he heard this, if this was the case, he really misunderstood, took the book, and saluted Cao Huachun: "But the old man is arbitrary, and if you are rude, please forgive me Gonggong Cao." ”

Cao Huachun waved his hand again and again: "We don't understand this book, but it does contain agriculture, and Jiangxi is far away, so let's transfer people first." As for whether it is really talented and learned, you have to judge it after reading the book, my lord. ”

Wang Xiangjin nodded: "It should be like this." ”

Don't say much, just turn the book.

The title of the book is "Heavenly Creation". Everyone has seen this book, and they know that this name comes from "Shangshu? Gao Taomo", "Heavenly Workers Replace It" and "Yi? "Open things into business". This is a very standard truncation question for the imperial examination, except for Cao Huachun, all of whom are masters. It's just that the content of this book has nothing to do with the scriptures, but it is not in the knowledge structure of these pavilion elders, so they swept their eyes and didn't look at it carefully. At this time, they are all waiting for Wang Xiangjin's evaluation.

Wang Xiangjin opened the book and was stunned again: "Hand-copied? ”

Cao Huachun explained: "The book has not yet been published, but the whole has taken shape, and it only needs to be proofread and printed. This is a sample before printing. After several proofreadings, the movable type will be printed. ”

Wang Xiangjin has also published a book, so he naturally knows the process. In the end, books are written by people, and there are inevitably omissions, and they need to be proofread many times before they can be published. Nodding, no more questions, and calming down to read.

Wang Xiangjin was still a little scrutinized at the beginning, but after reading a few paragraphs, his face became more and more serious, obviously immersed in the book.

Everyone was still watching from the side at first, but seeing that he was immersed in the book, what else did they need to say? Everyone is also busy, leaving Cheng Guoxiang, Min Hongxue, and Cao Huachun to wait for Wang Xiangjin, and the others dispersed and went on their own.

Wang Xiangjin read the first article of "Heavenly Creation", "Nai Grain", which is about the cultivation of cereals. This is precisely Wang Xiangjin's specialty.

Wang Xiangjin thought while watching, compared the cultivation methods he knew, and read page by page. It wasn't until the end of this article that I couldn't finish raising my head. But I was a little thirsty. After all, I was tired of traveling before, and I talked with a group of people for a long time, and then I read a book for a short time, and the old man was seventy and six.

When he looked up, he saw the three people in front of him who were looking at him, Wang Xiangjin patted his forehead, closed the book, and apologized to the three of them: "I'm sorry, three." When I saw this book, I was really rewarded, and I was so immersed in it that I forgot the occasion. What a faux pas. ”

Cao Huachun asked: "What does the boss mean, this book has entered the eyes of the boss?" ”

Wang Xiangjin nodded solemnly: "Although I have only read one-sixth of it, the content of this book has inspired me a lot." There are many places that I never thought of before. This Mr. Song is a great talent! ”

The three of them had been prepared for his answer and smiled at each other.

Cao Huachun said again: "The boss is reading the first volume, and it is said that there should be a total of three volumes and eighteen articles." However, it's not all agriculture. ”
