Chapter 43: First time as a servant 2

Xu Ai and Xu Yiren, named Mr. Hengshan, a native of Yuyao Mayan, Zhejiang Province, is also one of Wang Shouren's earliest disciples to enter the room. Three years of Zhengde in the Ming Dynasty, Jinshi and No. He once served as a member of Qizhou Zhizhou, Nanjing Military Department, and Nanjing Ministry of Engineering. This box said goodbye to Wang Shouren, which is to return to Nanjing to serve as Langzhong, an official position with little power. Nanjing, like Beijing, also has six ministries, the Metropolitan Inspectorate, Guozijian, Taixue and other bureaucrats, but there is no cabinet. And its various departments are inferior to Beijing, but have no real power. The word Nanjing should be added in front of it. The officials of the Southern Six are the same at the administrative level, and their actual responsibilities are not as good as those of the Northern Six. However, by the middle and late Ming Dynasty, many officials who pursued a free and leisure life preferred to work in the Southern Six Departments rather than stay in the Beijing Normal University with a conservative political atmosphere. Just like Xu Ai's engineering department, there is no more than him, and the official is not very big. He doesn't have many money every year. He is just responsible for some construction work established by Nanzhili and Nanjing. When there is no construction, he has nothing to do. When he has something to do, his official duties don't go there. It is precisely because of this idle job that Xu Ai can immerse himself in Wang Shouren's "heart study" all day long.

The authority of the six departments in Nanjing is indeed not as big as the six departments in Beijing, but there is still a certain sense of existence in Nanzhili. The main reason is that the Nanzhili area where Nanjing is located has jurisdiction over 15 prefectures and three Zhili prefectures, which is equivalent to the two provinces of Jiangsu and Anhui, but there are no political departments, inspectors and three command departments. It turns out that the six departments are under the responsibility of Nanjing, among which the Nanjing Household Department and the Nanjing Military Department have the most important power. The Nanjing Household Ministry of the Ming Dynasty was responsible for collecting tax grain from Nanzhili and Zhejiang, Jiangxi and Huguang provinces. The urban and rural commodity economy in these four places was developed, and the tax grain paid accounted for almost half of the Ming Empire. At the same time, it was also responsible for transportation and national salt drainage (from the beginning to the end of the Ming Dynasty, the Nanjing Household Department has been responsible for this matter, of which only two years of Nanjing households The Ministry is not responsible for this matter: in the third year of Zhengde, Liu Jin changed the law, and the Central Household Department was responsible for "Nanjing Introduction Board, all ordered to be destroyed", but in the fifth year of Zhengde, after Liu Jin was killed, the Ministry of Household asked to "brush salt and still be subordinate to the Nanjing Household Department" and obtained approval. Since then, it has remained unchanged) and the collection and management of national yellow books. Therefore, the servant of Nanjing Household Department often serves as the Prime Minister's grain reserve. The Nanjing Military Department is responsible for the garrison of Nanjing, and more than 40 guard stations in Nanjing are under the command of the Nanjing Military Department. The Nanjing Ministry of Officials is responsible for the six-year Beijing inspection and examination of Nanjing officials, and the Northern Ministry of Officials shall not interfere. The Nanjing Ministry of Criminal Justice is responsible for the punishment names of Nanjing Departments, Gonghou Bofu and Jingwei Institute. In the history of the Ming Dynasty, Liu Jin once ordered him to serve because Wu Hong, the minister of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, did not want to conclude the case according to law. It can be seen that the Nanjing Ministry of Criminal Justice also has judicial power. The responsibilities of the Nanjing Ministry of Industry are similar to those of the Ministry of Industry of Beijing Central, but its jurisdiction is limited to Nanjing and nearby provinces. In addition, the Ministry of Industry of Nanjing is also responsible for some taxes in the south (namely called "bamboo and wood drawing". The Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of War in the Ming Dynasty have the right to collect taxes, which is not unique to the Ministry of Household). In addition, the copper plate printed by the Nanjing Household Department shall be cast by the Nanjing Ministry of Industry. The Nanjing Ministry of Rites does not have any authority, because the emperor rarely comes to Nanjing, and there are not many rituals and sacrifices. Xu Ai is happy. On the one hand, he can be an official, and on the other hand, he still has a lot of time to study "heart study", which is the best of both sides. After sending Xu Ai away, Wang Yin didn't stay for a long time, so he left. When they left, both of them were very surprised that Cao Muwen "coincidentally" to serve in Nanchang and finally became Wang Shouren's attendants.

Wang Yin said, "I didn't expect such a fate. Before, you just happened to meet us on the dock. I thought you could only find free time to party in the future, but now you have been with your husband for a longer time than Xu Ai.

Cao Muwen smiled and said, "It's natural to say fate. In fact, Brother Wang still knew something. On the day I first arrived in Nanchang, I asked people for directions outside the city gate, but I didn't expect that this was the real fate... I happened to meet Mr.

"Is this really the case? I don't know." Wang Yin said, "It seems that you and your husband have a great fate." Wang Yin said this, which seemed to have a faint smell of vinegar.

Wang Shouren cleared his throat and mentioned two people. King Cao both came to their senses and noticed that their master was still beside him, but they ignored him.

Wang Shouren said, "If you still have time, why don't you go in and sit down and talk about it?"

Wang Yin arched his hand and said, "Sir, it's not necessary. In fact, I'm going to visit him again today. I will also leave Nanchang tomorrow morning."

Wang Shouren was slightly stunned and asked, "Oh? Why is this? Why does Ren want to leave, and you have to leave with him?"

Wang Yin replied, "Sir, I came to Nanchang to see the world and study more in the market. In these days, I often took a walk on the street to see how the daily life of the people here is. In addition, I just visited you and Xu Ai. Now that these things have been completed, I should also leave here and go somewhere else.

"So that's it. Since what you said, I also know that I won't force you to stay any more." Wang Shouren replied with relief.

turned around and said, "So, you don't know what your next plan is? Where are you going?"

Wang Yin smiled and said, "I plan to go back to my hometown in Taizhou and go home to see my father first; in addition, it is the most comfortable at home. In addition." Wang Gu'an added, "I also went back to my hometown to have a look. After all, I have been out for several years. I haven't been at home with my father and family for several years. I feel a little guilty when I think about it. It's a good time for spring. I'm not in a hurry. I'll visit and travel all the way. If I haven't arrived in autumn, I'll speed up.

"I'm very comforted that you have such a heart. Stop, if you go home and see your father, don't forget to say hello to me. Wang Shouren said.

"You understand, sir, please don't worry." Wang Yin agreed.

"In addition..." Wang Shouren thought slightly and said, "If you have a moment of leisure or something to think about when talking to people along the way, you should cherish it. As soon as the light appears, the so-called 'conscience' is also fleeting. If you really get anything from everything in the world along the way, it will be worthwhile. ."

"Please don't worry about this gentleman, I will always remember it." Wang Yin said so.

"Well, if you really have the heart to enter my door, you don't have to be embarrassed at all. To put it bluntly, the door here has always been open for you. Wang Shouren finally said this to Wang Yin.

After that, Cao Muwen also wanted to ask Wang Yin if he would stay here for a meal. Wang Yin resigned and soon left. It's just that Cao Muwen is a little puzzled about Wang Shouren's words. Naturally, Wang Yin is not a formal disciple of Wang Shouren now. It looks like this. Wang Yin's personality is indeed different from Xu Ai, the eldest disciple of Mr. Yang Ming. According to Cao Muwen's personal opinion, Xu Ai has a very good situation and is also a person who is free to read the Four Books and the Five Classics. Since he was a child, he has also been going to the school a lot, and his handboard has also been beaten a lot, so he has a sense of obedience to the teacher's words, and he also looks simple and loyal. However, Wang Yin, the later Wang Xuan, is different, which has a lot to do with their origin. Wang Yin can get a glimpse of his name. His father must hope that his son's life will be better in the future. It is also possible to give him a seemingly vulgar but direct name to express his expectations. Wang Yin has been a poor salt refiner since he was a child. Later, he was able to study by himself without his husband's guidance, and he also made small achievements, but he was very good. From this point alone, he is better than Xu Ai. This is also the reason why Wang Yin is also a little arrogant and arrogant. Duyun Li Bai is arrogant. When drinking and having fun with Tang Minghuang and Yang Yuhuan, he asked Gao Lishi to carry shoes for him. He is arrogant, but Li Bai is not a blind and proud person. "Taking and proud" is this kind of person's style.

Li Baiao is proud of his talent. How arrogant a person is, it also comes from his talent. Li Bai is so proud because he is so talented. Cao Muwen doesn't think about whether Wang Yin is proud of Li Bai, but Wang Yin and Li Bai may also be a type of person on the one hand. That is, they all have the capital to be proud of. Wang Yin was born from nothing and became a self-taught talent. With his talent, if he had received a proper education of Saint Kong's real "teaching according to his aptitude" since he was a child, his achievements may not be as good as Wang Shouren.

After the two left, Cao Muwen followed Wang Shouren. After returning to the study, Wang Shouren sat on a chair and kept his eyes fixed on a wall for a long time, thinking about something. Maybe he is thinking about Xu Ai and Wang Yin? Cao Muwen had been disturbed a lot, so he waited quietly. After a long time, Wang Shouren finally moved over and looked at Cao Muwen and said with a smile, "You can sit down. There is nothing wrong now. Let's chat."

"Okay, I don't know what you want to talk about?" Cao Muwen asked after sitting down.

"Hey~~~ It's nothing, but... I saw that Xu Ai and Wang Yin came together before, but now it hasn't been long since he left Nanchang. It makes me feel lonely." Wang Shouren said, "Am I old?"

"Where is it! Sir is only 40 years old now, how can he be old? Saints say, 'I am five out of ten, and I aspire to learn. Thirty stands, forty is not confused, fifty knows the destiny, sixty is obedient, seventy does what the heart wants, and does not exceed the moment. Now my husband is at the age of 'unconvinced'. How can you look old?"
