Chapter 401: The Burrow

Whether it was on the way to Jinzhou, or during this time in Jinzhou, Xie Hong has been trying to sketch the image of Wang Yangming in his mind, a merry boy with a face like a crown of jade and a long body, or a fairy man with a fairy wind and bones, or a bookish Confucian...... He has conceived a lot of images like this, and his psychological preparation can be said to be quite sufficient. But when he finally saw the other party, he was still stunned.

It's not that the image of the other party disappointed him too much, Wang Yangming, who was sitting behind the desk, had an elegant temperament, and the wind god was like jade, which made people feel heartbroken at a glance, and even reflected this simple study magnificently, which was indeed extraordinary.

What surprised Xie Hong was that he had seen each other before, and more than once, but he was very busy both times, once in the Jinluan Palace, and the other time in the royal park, the predecessor of the royal park, teasing Uncle Guo and Han Wen, although he noticed Wang Shouren's specialness, he did not continue to pay attention.

Seeing the other party standing up, as if greeting each other, Xie Hong also secretly smiled bitterly, for a long time, the emotional cow has been dangling in front of his eyes, and before and after knowing the identity of the other party, how can this perception be completely different? Is this the celebrity effect?

Why did he quickly lock on to the target when he saw Zhengde for the first time? Is it really fate? Well, maybe, Xie Hong shook his head, put aside those cranky thoughts, concentrated his attention, and prepared for his most solemn interview in the Ming Dynasty.

It's just that it tastes a little wrong, right?

Xie Hong felt a little confused, Wang Shouren did get up, but he didn't come out to greet him, just bowed his head slightly in place, and then raised his hand to signal that Xie Hong could sit across the table, like an interviewer in later generations.

With the description of the appearance of the two, it is more in line with this image, Xie Hong is just a young man with a weak crown, and his face is still childish, and Wang Shouren is already a year old, just a stop there, the elegant and elegant atmosphere is fully displayed, and people who don't know will definitely think that the latter's status is relatively high.

This has been well verified among the people of Golden State.

In order to avoid people's eyes, Xie Hong pretended to be a scholar, and when he wore a small hat in Tsing Yi, he was even kept in the dark when Lao Liu Tou saw him so many times, not to mention others? Xie Hong is not Zhengde, acting is not his specialty, but people in this era are accustomed to judging his identity by age, if he doesn't know his identity, just looking at his age, of course, he will feel that he is a fake scholar.

But in the eyes of the people, Wang Shouren's image and temperament are the same as the legendary Chinese Qu Xing Da Ru, especially he is not arrogant in treating people, so in private, the people also call him so.

But I'm the owner! Xie Hong has a lot of complaints.

Forget it, talent, it's normal to have a little frame and temper, my brother has always been very generous, and I don't care about these three words at Wang Yangming, I don't care about this little thing, Xie Hong slandered in his heart, and bowed his hand: "Late Xie Hong, I have seen Mr. Wang." ”

"Lord Xie, no need to be polite, please take a seat." Wang Shouren's tone was light, and he couldn't hear any emotion, but Xie Hong still felt the looming estrangement in it, and he could get a glimpse of it from the title.

Xie Hong is not as ignorant of this era as he was at the beginning, both of them are called uncles by Zeng Jian, so according to convention, the two can use some closer titles to each other, such as Brother Bo'an, Brother Xie Xian and the like.

He himself called Mr. to show respect, but it was not a good sign for the other party to reply to an 'adult', and the rejection may not be enough, but it is not close to the slightest bit.

That is, even the title must be impartial? It seems that today, it is not so easy to get the desired result, Xie Hong assessed the success rate of this interview in his heart.

After the two of them sat down, there was a little silence in the study.

The opening sentence has already been frustrated, Xie Hong is thinking about countermeasures, although he also knows that the plot in the novel is not very reliable, but he still tries to recall that when heroes such as Liu Bei and Cao Ying recruit talents, what kind of attitude and rhetoric, with his experience, this is already the limit.

"Dare to ask Lord Xie, what is the purpose of this here?" It was Wang Shouren who broke the silence, his eyes were bright, he looked directly at Xie Hong, and asked directly.

It's nice to get straight to the point, but that's a bit weird, isn't it? If you want to help, shouldn't you ask what your ambition is? Uncle Zeng was this way at the beginning. And...... Didn't you call me?

Xie Hong is not afraid of Wang Shouren's gaze, firstly, he has a lot of experience in being watched, although Wang Shouren's eyes are very sufficient, he can't cause any hindrance to him, in addition, he has no shame in his heart, how can he be afraid of being looked at.

He raised his eyes and looked at the other party, and subconsciously wanted to ask back, but suddenly found that the look in the other party's eyes seemed to be a little strange, Xie Hong was immediately shocked that Wang Shouren was not asking why he came to Muchengyi, but why he came to Liaodong and Jinzhou.

"Forcibly open the sea ban, enrich the country and strengthen the people!"

He knew that the other party knew his intentions, at least partially, otherwise he would not have wasted his mind drawing a map for himself, so what kind of answer the other party got from this question, Xie Hong couldn't guess, if he said too much, he would lose, since he couldn't figure out the intention, he simply shouted the slogan.

This slogan was also loud, but it did not provoke any reaction, Wang Shouren was unmoved, and asked indifferently: "Dare to ask Lord Xie, what kind of virtue should a gentleman be?" ”

I'm dizzy, the cattle of this era will teleport? The second brother's thinking is very jumpy, but my brother can still grasp the context, this Mr. Yang Ming jumped, and my brother seemed to be a little unable to keep up.

Xie Hong's thoughts turned sharply, but he didn't know the essentials for a while, he simply turned his heart sideways, planning to attack his shield with his spear, he raised his eyes and said loudly: "Take knowledge as action, and know and action as one!" ”

It's another slogan, but it's much sharper than the one just now, this is Wang Yangming's theory of fame. Although Xie Hong didn't know if the other party had realized this truth at this time, and summarized it into a theory, no matter what, after all, this is a concept that Wang Shouren has accumulated over time, and it must be somewhat lethal.

"Knowing is doing...... Unity of knowledge and action? Wang Shouren's momentum really stagnated, and the original Gujing Wubo's face was filled with a hint of contemplation, and he groaned slightly, and recited this sentence twice in his mouth, obviously, this master has not yet summed up this theory, but he already has a corresponding concept.

"What does Mr. Wang think?" Xie Hong was overjoyed when he saw this, this move was wonderful to use his way to return the other body, the unfathomable temperament on the other party's body was gone, it was the time to chase after the victory, so he immediately asked, wanting to take this opportunity to break through the opponent's mental defense.

"It is rumored in the world that Lord Xie is talented and intelligent, if Su Hui is around, Wang used to have doubts, but now when he sees it, it is really extraordinary." Wang Shouren raised his head and smiled slightly.

That's a compliment, right? Well, it should be, so it seems that there is a door? Xie Hong is looking forward to it very much, but he also has doubts, just by relying on the unity of knowledge and action, Wang Yangming can be dealt with, will things go so smoothly? If it is possible that the king's overlord qi leaks again, now, it seems to be a little suspenseful...... "It's just that since Lord Xie has comprehended such a truth, why does he repeatedly act in such a different way?" Dare to love adults to solve Wang's doubts! Sure enough, Wang Shouren's words changed, but his voice changed sharply, and he asked Xie Hong sternly.

Rao is Xie Hong has been mentally prepared and feels that he is sure to continue the other party's topic from any direction, but he was still stunned by the question.

I'm not a unity of knowledge and action, and I do what I say? If the old men in the capital heard it, they would definitely cry, my brother was the most decisive in his words, and he was the most decisive in his actions.

"What does Mr. Wang mean by this?" Helpless, Xie Hong really couldn't figure it out this time, so he had to ask rhetorically, trying to turn defense into offense.

"Since Lord Xie said that he wants to enrich the country and strengthen the people, since the first time I saw the Jinluan Palace, in Wang's view, the matter of the rich country is still to be discussed, but from beginning to end, Lord Xie has not done the slightest bit to benefit the people, is Wang's statement wrong?" Fortunately, Wang Shouren is also to talk about things, not to be purely difficult for Xie Hong, and he does not hesitate to go straight to the topic.

"I ......" Although Xie Hong is at a disadvantage, he is also a strong point, and where will he easily admit defeat, but when the words came to his mouth, he suddenly felt a little lacking in confidence.

"Master Xie must know what he has done." Wang Shouren interrupted Xie Hong's words, and said coldly: "What is the matter of Xuanfu, Wang has not seen it in person, and there is no way to estimate, today he only talks about the affairs of the capital, Zhenbao Zhai, the Ordnance Division, the Royal Park and Houdefang, plus the last roadside society, these are all because of you, but which one is beneficial to the people?" ”

"The treasures sold by Zhenbao Zhai are of course ingenious, but in addition to clocks and watches that can tell the time, whether it is a musical instrument or a music box, what does it have to do with the people? Besides, the so-called customized projects of Zhenbao Zhai are mostly dazzling things to entertain the public, which is eye-opening, but that's it. ”

Even if the price has dropped a lot compared to the beginning because of the improvement of efficiency, it is true that a few hundred taels of silver are not something that ordinary people can afford.

If you have to compare, it is probably similar to the relationship between the ordinary wage earners and commercial housing in later generations, but there are no mortgages in this era...... Therefore, Xie Hong has no way to refute, although there are also many cheap goods such as doll carving, but Zhenbao Zhai is not positioned in the civilian class after all.

"As the name suggests, the Ordnance Division is full of weapons." Wang Shouren didn't wait for Xie Hong's answer, and commented one by one: "Lord Xie is a genius, and the weapons in the hands of the Ordnance Department are all sharp and extraordinary, and they are invincible, but the place where Lord Xie uses them seems to be debatable, and the Ming Dynasty is not without foreign enemies, and there is smoke everywhere on the nine sides, but you just use these sharp weapons to fight in the same room......"

"Could it be that Mr. Wang wants me and the emperor to follow Song Xianggong?" Xie Hong is not doing it now, it is the bureau of Wenchen first, he is just to preemptively make the first move, and when others start first, then the general trend will go, and the fool will wait.

"When it comes to things, it is difficult for Wang to comment on everything, but no matter how you explain it, the Ordnance Department has nothing to do with the interests of the people, does Lord Xie think so?" Wang Shouren waved his hand, obviously unmoved by Xie Hong's words.

Xie Hong nodded silently, the Ordnance Division has not even solved the military things, so where can he take care of the civilian use.

"Besides, the league and institutions such as Houdefang are the same, all of them are dazzling and entertaining and publicizing, although they also have a little effect of opening up the wisdom of the people, but if the people suffer today, they are wearing clothes and eating in their mouths, what do these entertainment actions have to do with the people?"

Wang Shouren paused for a moment, and then asked mockingly: "Lord Xie keeps saying that he wants to make the country rich and the people strong, but he acts so biasedly, how can he be worthy of the four words of the unity of knowledge and action?" ”

I'm rubbing, Brother Wang, you're a saint, how can you hold such a grudge?

Xie Hong's face darkened, very depressed, it was obvious that his strategy of returning the other way to the other failed, not only failed to convince the other party, but aroused the other party's injustice, otherwise with Wang Shouren's bearing, how could he speak in this tone? Brother, is this lifting a stone and shooting himself in the foot?

What to do? Xie Hong's heart was full of thoughts, and he was anxious to find countermeasures.

However, this method is not easy to think, because convincing a person and choking a person are completely different concepts.

When it is said that when he is in the capital, Xie Hong can fight the Confucianism in the Jinluan Palace, and whenever there is a battle of words and tongues in the upper and lower courts, he can also gain the upper hand, and even after Zhengde got his teaching, he has also changed from being pressed by the foreign court to being offensive and defensive, Xie Hong's eloquence is not strong.

However, most of the methods he uses are sophistry, not seeking to convince people, just thinking about making the opponent speechless, and he can't refute, anyway, he has the emperor behind him, as long as he grasps the opponent's flaw and attacks to the end, he can achieve the final victory, and it can be regarded as the spear of the scholars and doctors, attacking their shield.

But there is no way to do this to Wang Shouren, not to mention who wins and who loses after using sophistry, Xie Hong is here to attract talents, not to quarrel, with his method, winning the quarrel can only reduce the favorability, and it will only get farther and farther away from the real goal, Xie Hong is not stupid, of course he will not do this.

However, compared to this kind of argument of showing the carriage and horses, how could he be Wang Shouren's opponent? Even if he is not holy, this is at least a quasi-saint, and his knowledge and mind are comparable to ordinary people.

Although he has not yet summed up the psychology that shocked future generations, his words are all pragmatic, and there are no ordinary Confucian scholars quoting scriptures, Xie Hong can't find a flaw at all, not to mention that Wang Shouren's dialectics are similar to Xie Hong's, they all seize the opponent's flaws and attack fiercely, which makes Xie Hong very difficult to parry.

You must know that Xie Hong was not originally a scholar of philosophy and law, he was a half-otaku before the crossing, and his eloquence was practiced on the Internet forum, if Wang Shouren was a quasi-saint, he would be a first-class scattered immortal at best, how could he be an opponent?

However, Xie Hong is not an ordinary person, in the end he still thought of a countermeasure, he suddenly raised his head, looked at Wang Shouren, bowed deeply, and said: "I am not talented in my later life, dare to ask Mr. Wang to teach me!" ”
