"Brother Ruoxu!"

"Little prodigy, you come and have a meal too."

“…”

A few days later, Wang Yuan entered the cafeteria for dinner, and the new classmates suddenly became more enthusiastic about him.

Needless to say, "Bamboo and Stone" and "On Poetry" have spread, and it has soon been spread from outside to the Civilization Academy.

Wang Yuan could only give the gift all the way back. Although he was so annoyed that he could not get angry with others. After all, they were greeting him out of kindness.

"You are famous." Song Ling'er smiled.

Liu Yaozu said: "Yes. The bookstore is already selling poetry manuscripts, and one copy costs half a dollar. Your two poems are at the forefront."

Wang Yuan shook his head and said, "I don't want to be famous, if..."

Before he finished speaking, Chen Wenxue suddenly came over and sat down, took out a piece of paper: "Ruoxu, look at my poem, which was written when I visited Tonghua Temple last year."

Wang Yuan was speechless for a moment and was honest in his savoring the poem.

"The city is ten miles away, and the mountain gate is quiet and grass is drifting. The sky is suspected to be surrounded by clouds and flowers, and the cypresses are frequently moved. The morning chimes are followed by the pine rain, and the fragrance of afternoon tea brings the osmanthus wind to the breeze. The quinoa is slowly walking around, and the infinite dust is gone."

It is well written, at least a hundred times better than Wang Yuan's own poem.

"Good poem!" Wang Yuan praised.

Chen Wenxue smiled and said, "Unexpectedly, Ruoxu also likes poetry. You and I can learn from each other."

"Where, where," Wang Yuan quickly refused, "I have never learned to write poetry at all, and I don't even understand the rules of the qualities and tones. Moreover, the gentleman said that poetry is a minor path, and it should be based on the current text. From today on, I will study behind closed doors and will not write poetry for three years."

Chen Wenxue did not doubt that he had, and said in awe: "If I admire my desire to learn, I should study hard behind closed doors!"

"call!"

Finally, Wang Yuan quickly had a meal and planned to go back to the room immediately after the meal.

In ancient academies, there were canteens, with eight-person tables and four-person tables. The standard was that two people shared one meat and one vegetable.

Tuition, book fees, food and accommodation fees... are very expensive in total, and ordinary scholars cannot afford it at all. This is equivalent to an ancient private school.

Therefore, those who followed Wang Yangming to study in the academy were basically from wealthy families. Ordinary families did not dare to live in the academy, so they only went to the street at the entrance of the academy to listen for free when Wang Yangming was taking open classes.

Among the new scholars, Qin Yue, Zou Mu, Li Weishan, Wang Yuanming, Gao Fengming and others quickly became super fans of Mr. Wang. Especially Wang Yuanming, this guy is very rich in his family. He not only brings rice, flour, oil and salt to the teacher, but also often helps other classmates.

While Wang Yuan was having dinner, several more people came over and pulled him to discuss poetry art. He used the excuses before to shirk it.

This not only did not offend people, but also won the respect of all students. After all, poetry is indeed a minor path.

Suddenly, the students stood up one after another, and Wang Yuan also stood up.

Wang Yangming and an old man walked into the cafeteria, talking and laughing, while the old man's entourage was carrying a jar of good wine.

"Wang Erlang, come and sit down!" the old man shouted to Wang Yuan.

Wang Yuan immediately went over and bowed to greet him: "Sir, Zhang Nietai, the student is polite!"

The old man was named Zhang Guan. He was also excluded from being an official in Guizhou because he angered Liu Jin. He was sympathetic to Wang Yangming. However, Zhang Guan had a greater official position. As a Censor of Guizhou, he was in charge of the judicial system of a province.

Since Wang Yangming came to the Civilization Academy, Zhang Guan often brought his own food and drinks. He did not discuss knowledge with Wang Yangming, and simply chatted to relieve boredom. When he got drunk, he cursed Liu Jin from the air.

The old man never stopped and wrote letters to the court many times to complain. He said that Liu Jin asked the eunuchs in Guizhou to make money for him, invaded countless military fields, and caused a large number of military households to flee. It won't take long before he would be demoted again and demoted to Shanxi as a senator.

"Sit," Zhang Guan asked his followers to open the wine jar and said to Wang Yuan with a smile, "I haven't seen you for a few days, and you have become a prodigy. Even the two governors have read the poems you wrote."

Wang Yuan said in shame: "I just wrote two songs randomly and could not be called a child prodigy."

Zhang Guan slammed the table and said, "Your sentences, 'Thousands of blows are still strong, no matter how winds you are in the east, west, south and north,' are written really well. When you enter the court day by day, you must keep your today's character and not be scared by traitors. As long as you uphold your integrity, what are the eight tigers in the capital? Don't look at their arrogantness at this time, they will be wiped out by the court in the future!"

Here comes again, this old angry young man will criticize Liu Jin and Bahu every time.

"Neitai said it, kid keeps his teachings in mind." Wang Yuan agreed with a smile.

Zhang Guan said to the young man next to him again: "Xiang'er, fill Wang Yuan with wine."

The young man was named Wang Xiang, and he was also brought by Wang Yangming from his hometown. Because he was too young, only fourteen or fifteen years old, he did not take him to Longchangyi, but lived in Zhan Hui's home in the city. Later generations studied Wang Yangming's letters, and "Xiang'er" often appeared in the letters, which was about Wang Xiang.

Wang Xiang was smart and skillful and poured wine for everyone.

Wang Yangming didn't dare to touch a drop of it, so he ate the vegetables honestly, and asked about Wang Yuan's homework casually.

As he talked, Zhang Guan talked about his glorious old things: "In the 11th year of Hongzhi, the Hami rebels detained the border. At that time, I was just a deputy chief of the Shaanxi Censorate, but I also knew how to reorganize the military and prepare for military affairs and quell the chaos in the border. Your Majesty rewarded me with lottery coins and promoted me to the deputy envoy of the Sichuan Censorate." As he said that, he suddenly slapped the table, "Guizhou is a bunch of cowards, and some of the thieves rebelled. Not only has it not been pacified for almost a year, but his mother is getting bigger and bigger!"

"Zhang Nietai is brave," Wang Yangming poured him wine and sighed, "Not everyone has your responsibility."

This flattery made Zhang Guan very happy, and he really deserved it.

The assistant of the Censorate was only a fifth-rank official and had no right to command the army, so he mainly engaged in local judicial work. However, Zhang Guan was able to train troops in Shaanxi with this identity and led troops to put down the border chaos. In comparison, he was really qualified to say that the officers in Guizhou were a group of waste.

According to Zhang Guan's idea, he only needs to let him lead the troops and train himself for one or two months to wipe out the Guizhou rebels.

Unfortunately, Zhang Guan didn't have a single soldier, so he could only ask Wang Yangming to drink and complain every now and then.

After scolding the Guizhou officer, he turned around and scolded Liu Jin again. Zhang Guan finally vented his resentment. He cried with Wang Yuan and asked Wang Yangming again: "What are Bo'an busy with recently?"

Wang Yangming replied: "After teaching, he was reading the "The True Sutra of the Pearl of Medicine King Bodhisattva to Convert Beads to Save Life."

"Boan is still devoted to Buddhism?" Zhang Guan couldn't help but laugh.

Wang Yangming explained: "This "The True Sutra of the Pearl of Medicine King Bodhisattva's Pearl to Protect Life" should not come from India, but from the false sutra written by Middle Earth."

Wang Yuan asked: "Since it is a violation of the scriptures, why do you still read it?"

Wang Yangming said: "This scripture is specifically about how to treat acne."

Acne syndrome is smallpox.

Yunnan and Guizhou belong to a region with frequent smallpox, and this sutra is also very rare. By judging by the name of Medicine King Bodhisattva, traditional Chinese medicine theory is combined with Buddhist ideas and written specifically into a Buddhist scripture to treat smallpox.

When Wang Yangming was teaching in Longgang Mountain, he often wandered around nearby, but he found the "The True Sutra of the Pearl of Medicine King Bodhisattva's Pearl to Save Life" in an abandoned temple, as well as a narrative article left by his predecessors.

From the narrative, we can see that a smallpox epidemic broke out in Guiyang in a certain year and month. The Miao people were helpless. Whenever a child became sick, they would abandon the child in the wilderness and not die for a few days before taking him home. A monk came to the Miao land and lived in an abandoned temple. As long as people went to the temple to worship, they would not get infected with smallpox again.

When the plague ended, the monks disappeared without a trace. The local people regarded it as the arrival of the Medicine King Bodhisattva, and therefore renovated the abandoned temple. After that, the people became ill and only went to the temple to worship, they would be cured without medicine, which was very effective.

Hearing Wang Yangming's narration, Wang Yuan said in surprise: "This Buddhist scripture records the treatment of acne?"

Wang Yangming shook his head: "The Buddhist scriptures say that if a child suffers from acne, his family should burn incense and bathe, not kill or lust, and worship Buddha sooner or later, and then he will be cured. But I think these are all perfunctory words. The real method to treat acne should be the acne mentioned in the essay in the narrative. I have been studying for many days and don't know what acne is. Can the medicine for acne be grown? This method has not been passed down in the classics and has not been seen in ancient times, so I think it is very strange."

These words shocked Wang Yuan. The explosion of smallpox in the narrative should have occurred in the early Ming Dynasty, when some monks actually knew about the treatment of acne.

As for the family members of smallpox patients, they should burn incense and bathe, and worship Buddha in the morning and evening. The former emphasizes personal hygiene, while the latter is a monk taking the opportunity to spread Buddhist beliefs.

Wang Yuan was reminded and suddenly wanted to study how to consume acne, so he would be prepared for smallpox epidemic in the future.

Historically, detailed records of vaccination were recorded during the Longqing period of the Ming Dynasty. However, the human acne was planted, not vaccination. Due to the high failure rate, people thought that only relatives could have the effect of vaccination. There was a family's survival rate of vaccination, and others thought that the acne of this family was very good, so they tried their best to steal the acne.

Wang Yuan reminded: "Maybe it is to use poison to fight the poison. Plant the acne and pus of the healed person onto healthy people."

Zhang Guan blamed: "Don't talk nonsense. This method can only cause healthy people to get sick!"

Wang Yuan continued to explain: "I heard from the elders in the village that every time acne plague breaks out, the livestock will not die. Can it be confirmed that the acne of livestock is milder than the acne of humans. If you plant cowpox in people and actively get milder acne, will you no longer be afraid of acne? After all, people who have acne will never get it again in their lifetime."

Wang Yangming's eyes lit up: "This method may be possible!"

Zhang Guan also felt it made sense and said, "If I become an official in the future and encounter acne epidemic in the jurisdiction, I will give those death row prisoners a planted cowpox, which may be verified and proved, and it can also benefit the people."

Khan, aren’t death row prisoners humans? They actually used them for human experiments.

After talking about smallpox epidemic prevention work, Mr. Zhang Guan suddenly brought Liu Jin again, and drank wine and slapped the table and scolded the eunuchs.

After drinking too much, Zhang Guan dipped his fingers in wine and drew a simple map of Guizhou on the table to analyze the situation of the battle for Wang Yangming and Wang Yuan: "The most urgent task is to mobilize the troops of Bozhou, attack Xifeng with the Guizhou official army from north to south, and open up the official road of Bozhou to enter Guizhou. In this way, Huguang only needs to mobilize five thousand troops to block the main road of the rebels from east to east, and then he can attack them in one fell swoop! An old friend in the court wrote to me, saying that the Ministry of War was all Liu Jin's party members at this moment, and the military situation in Guizhou was suppressed. The emperor had no idea that there was a rebellion in Guizhou!"

"Oh, the eunuch party is in trouble with the country." Wang Yangming could only sigh.

Although Wang Yuan is a historical idiot, he also knows that Zhu Houzhao likes to fight and is never ruthless in dealing with foreign enemies and internal enemies. The war in Guizhou has been delayed for nearly a year, and the Ministry of War has not mobilized a large army to quell the rebellion. I believe Zhu Houzhao really didn't know about it.

The Ministry of War was controlled by Liu Jin again, and it was probably because of Eunuch Liu who deceived the sage and An Guirong must have secretly spent a lot of money.

Mr. Zhang was drunk and scolded Liu Jin's eighteen generations of ancestors quickly. He patted Wang Yuan on the shoulder and told him to study hard, but then he was helped by his followers to leave.

In the evening, Lu Jian, deputy envoy of Guizhou Censor, also came to chat with Wang Yangming, and Wang Yuan took the initiative to go to drink as a companion.

Uncle Wang really can get along. He only came to the Civilization Academy for two months and became good friends with civil and military officials and chieftains in Guizhou. Historically, on the first day of the Lunar New Year next year, Lu Jian, the deputy inspector, even accompanied Wang Yangming to visit the famous scenic spots in Guiyang in person.

Wang Yuan took the opportunity to ride the ride and gradually became familiar with Guizhou officials. Everyone regarded him as his son and nephew. The name of a child prodigy is still useful. Civil officials work in the local area and especially like to promote child prodigy.

This term of Guizhou officials have some grudges against Liu Jin. They were either demoted or were expelled from openly and secretly. When Liu Jin fell, these officials would definitely be promoted.

For example, Mr. Zhang Guan will be the governor of Liaodong in a few years and hold the military and political power in the Liaodong region.

(ps: Regarding the Buddhist scriptures of Smallpox, it was not randomly fabricated. Wang Yangming later published this scripture and wrote a preface by himself. The preface mentioned acne: "Only the seeds of acne are not passed down from the scriptures and have not been found in ancient times.")
