"Student Wang Ruizhi, meet Lord Guogong!" Wang Shou was dressed in a green shirt, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and got up to bow to Wang Qi.

"Ruizhi, Ruizhi, be determined to forge ahead, overcome difficulties, and live up to the trust," Wang Qi nodded, and asked again: "Well, but you are from a Jinshi?" ”

"In the second year of the Apocalypse, I ranked seventy-four on the second list," Wang Shou replied.

"There are many talented people in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, you are the grandson of Wang Gen, and you have a family history," Wang Qi looked at Wang Shou, this young man just said that he had a lot of insights, so he wanted to know more: "Do you think that if you open the way of Gewu and the way of the imperial examination, you are all talents of the imperial court, how about it?" ”

Xu Guangqi sat on the side, looking at Wang Shou, there was a trace of hesitation between his eyebrows, and he wanted to open his mouth to mention a thing or two, but after thinking for a while, he finally did not speak.

"Lord Guogong, Wang Shou thought that the imperial examination for nearly a thousand years has exhausted all the scholars in the world, but at the same time, it also allows the world's scholars to bury their heads in poetry, books and articles, the six arts of the gentleman, etiquette, music, archery, royal, books, and mathematics. In the long run, the officials will know the article, the officials will be in charge of the punishment, and the people will suffer greatly! Wang Shou talked eloquently, even in front of the world-famous Wang Qi, he did not flinch at all: "If you can open a separate subject to collect scientific talents from all over the world, you will be aspiring to the society, liberated from the vast sea of books, and everyone will learn to apply it, then in addition to the four books and five classics, the world's practical learning can be flourished!" ”

"Yes, I have some knowledge, and I have some ideas," Wang Qi heard this, with a smile on his face, and praised it rarely.

Wang Shou was born as a Jinshi, and his words are enough to show that he is applying what he has learned, and he is not a pedant who can only talk about articles.

"Mr. Xuanhu, do you intend to introduce a few disciples into the scientific society?" Wang Qi turned his head and asked Xu Guangqi with a smile.

"Haha, Grandpa Guo said with a smile," Xu Guangqi was stunned for a moment, waved his hand and said: "They are not knowledgeable, not enough to take on this responsibility, to join the scientific society, what they need is not to read and write poetry, but to devote themselves to the study of things, they still need to learn." ”

"Mr. Xuanhu is in love," Wang Qi shook his head: "Who said that Jinshi can't be admitted to the club?" As I have already said, the parallel of the two is the first priority, and it is not necessary to take one or the other in order to let the society and the imperial examination compete for development. And, sir, why don't you ask what a few little friends think? ”

Wang Qi sat down on the chair today, and as soon as he spoke, Xu Guangqi felt a huge pressure, and now that three or two sentences have come out, the real purpose has been revealed.

"If you can enter the scientific society, what your ancestors have learned, and what Mr. Yang Ming has learned, can be widely spread to the world!" Wang Shou actually wanted to join the Science Society for a long time, but Xu Guangqi did not agree, although Xu Guangqi himself is the nominal president of the Science Society, but the essence of the Science Society is to dig up the roots of the imperial examination, which makes Xu Guangqi have a strong sense of pessimism, he is old, for the Science Society, for his lifelong learning, for the dream and cheer up, it is not a difficult thing, but he does not want his students to venture into such a dangerous situation.

Even though the Science Society has the endorsement of Qi Guogong, there are more than 10,000 people in the world?

Qi Guogong's heart alone is worth more than 10,000 people?

To be honest, Xu Guangqi is pessimistic about the future of the Scientology.

"Born in Jinshi, into the scientific society," Wang Qi smiled, giving people a huge pressure from the superiors: "Aren't you afraid that the scholars of the world will say that you have gone astray, focusing on strange and skillful skills, and not thinking about the learning of sages?" ”

"Of course, my generation of scholars, use what they have learned to use, why listen to the gossip of others?" Wang Shou's answer was quick and decisive.

"Oh," Wang Qi nodded slightly, but still added inexplicably: "Jinshi is expensive." ”

As soon as these words came out, the whole room was silent.

Even Xu Guangqi's forehead was slightly sweaty, but this old minister of the Three Dynasties didn't dare to raise his hand to wipe it.

And Wang Shou, who was sitting near the door, finally heard the meaning of Wang Qi's words, this contemporary heir of Xinxue pursed his lips, blushed and was silent for a long time.

"Today I just talked to Mr. Xu about a few words of recent thinking, if it makes sense, Mr. Xu thinks about it, if it doesn't make sense, the scientific society still has to rely on Mr. Xu to prepare for the establishment," Wang Qi said, standing up: "Wang still has something to do, so I won't stay much, farewell!" ”

Call!!!

Xu Guangqi breathed a long sigh of relief, and he could almost hear his own heartbeat.

The patriarch of the Three Dynasties got up and subconsciously wanted to send the Duke of Qi out of the house.

"Qi Guogong walks slowly !!"

The moment Wang Qi got up, Wang Shou, who was sitting on the side, stood up abruptly as if he had just woken up from a dream.

"Huh?" Wang Qi turned his head when he heard the words and looked at Wang Shou: "Ruizhi still has something?" ”

"I," Wang Shou opened his mouth, as if he had made a great determination: "Today's words of Lord Guogong made Ruizhi like waking up from a dream, and he only felt that in the first thirty years of his life, he was stupid, and he had to wake up today."

"Ruizhi," Xu Guangqi, who was standing on the side, knew what he wanted to say as a student, and hurriedly spoke to stop him: "Qi Guogong still has important matters, don't delay." ”

Ignoring his teacher's advice, Wang Shou seemed to have made up his mind: "From today onwards, I will give up my Jinshi background, and as a Bai Ding, I will strive for fame in a science department, in order to enter the scientific society, set an example for the people of the world, and open my eyes for the scientific society!" ”

Give up the Jinshi background.

Re-admitted to the Science Society as a white ding!

In order to learn to open your eyes.

As soon as these words came out, it was equivalent to cutting off Wang Shouke's path to becoming an official, and he would no longer be an official in this life.

Xu Guangqi closed his eyes slightly, a little helpless, but also a little moved - some people, for what they learned, can give up everything, Wang Shou is for this.

"Very good," Wang Qi stood still, looked at Wang Shou three steps away, and said: "One day, if you are admitted to the Science Society, Wang will write a preface for you and give you a badge!" ”

"The study of things, the learning of the ancestors of the whole life, Wang Shou can use this to establish his life, and take this as a merit, a certain luck!" Wang Shou stopped saying goodbye and bowed deeply to Wang Qi.

Not long after, outside the government.

Xu Guangqi's master and apprentice watched Wang Qi leave in a sedan car.

His eyes were still staring at the sedan car moving steadily in the distance, Xu Guangqi seemed to be talking to himself, and seemed to mean something: "If one day, the scientific society surpasses the way of the imperial examination and becomes the place where scholars all over the world flock to it, then the world is fortunate, and it is the glory of your generation!" As soon as he entered the door today, Qi Guogong intentionally or unintentionally introduced the topic to the opposition between the imperial examination and the society, I am afraid that it was premeditated. ”

"But the final choice was made by us," Wang Shou looked firmly: "My generation of scholars, isn't what we want is to leave a name in the annals of history?" ”
