Chapter 400 The Escaped Wang Shouren
The emergence of new ideas and new concepts has always been a long process, and at least it will take a long period of accumulation and fermentation, and then it will explode in a certain period of time. This explosion may be very fierce, and may even lead to some
People die for this, such as Copernicus and Galileo, are all victims of the emergence of new ideas.
Zhou Chong did not have the courage to be a victim of the alternation of new and old ideas. After all, in his opinion, his wife and children in his family are far more important than social progress. He finally had a second life, so naturally he could not waste it in vain.
He instilled the thoughts and ideas he brought from later generations into Wang Yangming, known as the saint, hoping that combined with his mind's knowledge can bring a new trend of thought to those in later generations.
However, Zhou Chong's thoughts and ideas brought by later generations were very complex, and many of them were even contradictory. Even with Wang Shouren's wisdom, he still felt a little overwhelmed. Finally, when he walked out of the Governor's Mansion, he had already thought that he had already made up his mind.
It’s a mess of paste and it’s impossible to effectively absorb new ideas and new knowledge obtained from Zhou Chong. But that’s nothing. At worst, just look for Zhou Chong to talk about his knowledge in the future.
Just as Wang Shouren had just walked out of the Governor's Mansion, he didn't expect that a group of people suddenly rushed up outside and surrounded him. This shocked Wang Shouren and almost used his own self-defense skills to defend himself. Fortunately, he found out in time that these people were all wearing officials.
After all, Wang Shouren relaxed. After all, this was in front of the Governor's Mansion, and these people were all officials, so they might be their colleagues in the future.
Sure enough, the leader was a gray-haired and thin official. Judging from his official uniform, he should have been from a second-rank official, and there was only one from a second-rank official in the entire Governor's Mansion. That is, as the left governor
Mr. Yang Tong, Wang Shouren had already found out about this before coming.
"This must be Yang Tong, General Yang. I wonder what you and your colleagues are blocking Wang's way?" Wang Shouren bowed to Yang Tong. Although he was on par with Yang Tong, the other party was older than him.
He has a deeper qualification than him, so Wang Shouren naturally has to take the initiative to perform his rituals. This is a ritual in the officialdom and cannot be careless at all.
"Haha, Lord Wang guessed it well. I am Yang Tong. I have heard of Lord Wang's name and my colleagues for a long time. I didn't expect that I could still be an official with Lord Wang today. Speaking of which, this is also our fate.
Today, I am working with all my colleagues. A banquet was set up in Wanghai Garden to welcome Lord Wang. I also asked Lord Wang not to refuse!" Yang Tong, who was in charge, helped Wang Shouren up with a smile on his face
The way.
"The elder dared not refuse, let alone the wishes of all colleagues. Wang naturally dared not refuse. Today, Wang returned with great drunkenness. He must be worthy of your wishes!" Wang Shouren was also an official
After many years, he naturally knew about social engagements in the officialdom, and he also knew that if he wanted to do something in the Governor's Office, he had to get the support of a group of people. In front of him, Yang Tong and others took the initiative to invite him, so he must have the intention of making friends.
So Wang Shouren naturally would not refuse.
Yang Tong was very happy to hear that Wang Shouren has always regarded himself as a junior. The other officials were relieved to see that the censor was so approachable and understood human nature very well. After all, the censor was originally a clerk.
If all officials have a discipline, it is better to meet such a censor who talks about human nature than to meet a selfless censor.
At that moment, Wang Shouren, Yang Tong and others took a carriage to Wanghai Garden in the north. The Duanjian Pavilion, which has the best scenery, has already been booked by these officials, and they are also making the best seafood banquet in Wanghai Garden. All of these seafood have just come out of the sea.
The fishing out will definitely not take more than an hour from going to sea to serving it. It is extremely fresh.
Wang Shouren was also very surprised by the novel layout of Wanghaiyuan, especially when he stood in front of the window of Duanjian Pavilion, overlooking the entire Shuangyu Port. Those merchant ships like ants flowed continuously in the port, which shows the entire
How prosperous Shuangyu Port is, it opened Wang Shouren, who had not paid much attention to sea trade in the past. In addition, his previous conversation with Zhou Chong made him feel like a frog in a well for himself.
"Mr. Wang, this is the pavilion with the best view in the entire Wanghai Garden. Standing here, you can overlook the entire Shuangyu Port. You see, there are three major port areas in this Shuangyu Port, each port area is extremely prosperous, among which the Beigang District is mainly
It is a ship to Nanyang and other places, while the Nangang District mainly goes to Japan, North Korea and Ryukyu, while the Xigang District is relatively complicated. In addition to sharing the pressure from Beigang and Nangang, it also enters and exits the entire Shuangyu Port to the Ming Dynasty.
The center of the cargo, now as long as the ships traveling between Daming are usually docked in the Xigang District." At this time, Yang Tong walked to Wang Shouren and pointed to Shuangyu Port below and introduced him, with his tone in his tone.
I am a little proud that he has made great efforts because Shuangyu Port has reached its current scale.
"Well, I heard that the scale of Shuangyu Port has exceeded that of Guangzhou and has become the largest port in the Ming Dynasty. Moreover, the taxes and silver paid to the court every year are much higher than those of other prefectures. These are the Governor and the Governor.
Lord Yang's credit!" Wang Shouren also said in admiration. He suddenly had some understanding of Zhou Chong's previous idea of vigorously developing industry and commerce. With this prosperous port in front of him, he needed a large amount of goods every day, and these
The demand for goods will naturally stimulate the development of industry and commerce in the Ming Dynasty. I believe this is why the Governor vigorously developed Shuangyu Port.
Soon the banquet was arranged neatly, and Wang Shouren sat in the chief under Yang Tong's humility. After all, among the people present, only he and Yang Tong were of the highest rank. Moreover, today's banquet was a welcoming banquet for Wang Shouren, so of course it was
He should be the main focus.
After Wang Shouren sat down, everyone toasted. Wang Shouren also had an amazing alcohol tolerance and refused everyone at the moment. As a result, the officials present felt more fond of him. Soon after three rounds of wine, Wang Shouren took this opportunity
We began to inquire about the specific situation of the Governor's Office of the Four Seas. After all, Zhou Chong just told him a rough idea. As for the specific situation, he still needs to find out by himself.
Yang Tong and others were waiting for this opportunity, so they spoke out the situation of the entire Shangsihai Governor's Office. However, they focused on the fact that Jiao Fang and Zhang Cai, both participating in politics, were northerners, and
They are also very talented, and now they suppress the southern officials very well. In the end, Yang Tong specifically instructed Wang Shouren to be careful of Jiao Fang and Zhang Cai and never act irritably.
Hearing this, Wang Shouren finally understood the reason why Yang Tong and the others invited him. After all, he has been an official for many years. Of course, he is very clear about the dispute between the southern and northern people in the officialdom. Although he thinks this kind of struggle is very boring, he is still alive.
In the officialdom, this kind of struggle cannot be escaped from any of it.
In addition, he finally understood why His Majesty the Emperor suddenly issued an order to transfer himself to the Governor General's Office for office. It is estimated that this was the idea of the young Governor General, in order to balance the strength between the people of the Central and Southern people of the Governor's Office and the Northern people of the Governor's Office.
After all, northern officials now have the upper hand, so the intention of calling him, a southern official, here is naturally very clear.
But what made Wang Shouren very surprised was that he did not have much reputation in the officialdom. Why did the Governor Zhou have so much confidence in him and believe that he could balance the strength of both the north and the south? You should know that among the leaders of northern officials
One is Jiao Fang, who once served as the chief minister of the cabinet, and the other is the pseudonym Zhang Yu, but everyone in the Governor's Office knows that he is Zhang Cai, the Minister of Revenue who previously assisted Liu Jin. None of these two people is easy.
With him, even though Wang Shouren has always been confident, he can't help but feel unsure when facing such two opponents.
Since I understood the reason why Zhou Chong transferred himself to the Governor's Office, I also knew that the young Governor was not a slander as rumored, but a man with great ambitions and concern for the country and the people, and he worked under such a person.
,For Wang Shouren, it was definitely a good opportunity to show his ambitions, so he was in a good mood for a while, and he couldn't help but drink a few more drinks at the table, and finally returned drunk.
In the following time, Wang Shouren officially served as the Censor under the governor's office of the Sihai Governor's Office, and at the same time unified with Yang, becoming the representative of the southern officials of the Governor's Office. However, Wang Shouren did not face Jiao Fang and Zhang Cai at the beginning.
After the conflict, I even asked Zhou Chong for instructions, I took a boat to Taiwan on the third day of my official position and began to conduct real investigations there, and at the same time I could observe the local administration and people's livelihood more directly.
After inspecting Taiwan, Wang Shouren still did not add it, but went to Malacca and the old port in Nanyang. It seemed that he planned to run all the land under the governor's office of the Four Seas before returning. This made Yang Tong's southern officials very much.
Disappointed, after all, Wang Shouren is not here, and they still can't fight with Jiao Fang and Zhang Cai.
The northern officials led by Zhang Cai were also very proud. After all, in their opinion, the new censor was from the southerner, but he was a soft boy. After taking office, he not only did not dare to fight with them head-on, but also fled.
In Taiwan, such people are not worth worrying about.
However, Jiao Fang, who is also the leader of the northern officials, did not think so, because in his opinion, Wang Shouren gave up fighting with them not because he was afraid of them, but put the government affairs of the censor first, that is,
Chapter completed!
