Chapter 346 Wang Zheng
The next day, the officials in Beijing found Xu Guangqi and asked him to send a boat to Fuzhou. Even Zhang Songbai, who had been so stubborn before, let go. Xu Guangqi naturally wanted to transfer a big lucky boat and sent the gang to Fuzhou on the same day. Xu Guangqi personally sent them all on the boat. Guo Zhiyuan did not show up until the end. He had too much to be busy with, so he had no time to silence with these gangs of gangs.
Xu Guangqi returned from completing the task and reported to Guo Zhiyuan. Guo Zhiyuan was looking at an architectural drawing. When he saw Xu Guangqi coming in, he looked up and smiled and asked, "Have all the officials from the capital gone?"
"I've sent it away!" Xu Guangqi waved his hand with a relaxed look on his face, and suddenly waved his hand again, "No, there is another one, he refuses to leave. I have a simple conversation with this person. Although he is not good at speaking, he is quite talented. Do you want to see him?..."
"Oh! There is another one?" Guo Zhiyuan raised his eyebrows. It was not easy to be considered very talented by Xu Guangqi. He immediately became interested and asked, "Who is it?"
Xu Guangqi knew that Guo Zhiyuan was eager to seek talent, and introduced with a smile: "This person is Wang Zheng, a native of Jingyang County, Xi'an Prefecture. This time, Dongfan was released from Dongfan to serve as the chief clerk of Beigang County. However, when I talked to him, I found that this person had a lot of research on mechanical principles, but he was very close to me. It was a bit insignificant to let him be the chief clerk. I was about to recommend it to the adults..."
"Wang Zheng!" Guo Zhiyuan's eyes widened as he heard this, and he slapped his hands vigorously and said, "It turned out to be him! I didn't expect that there was such a treasure hidden in these officials from the capital. Thanks to the gentleman who kept him, otherwise I would have missed a talent!"
Seeing Guo Zhiyuan's excited look, Xu Guangqi asked in surprise: "Has he heard of this person? But this person was not famous before. He failed several times of scientific examinations. He only barely passed the exam last year and had no strong background in the court, so he was released from Dongfan as the small chief clerk..."
No wonder Guo Zhiyuan is so excited. Wang Zheng is very famous in history. Like Xu Guangqi, he was the first pioneer in the Ming Dynasty to introduce advanced Western science and technology into China. The "Animal Artifacts of the Far West" compiled with Swiss missionary Deng Yuhan is China's first compiled work on Western mechanics. It has made great contributions to the spread of Western science and promoting cultural exchanges. Later generations regarded him as a figure comparable to Xu Guangqi and was known as the "King of Southern and Xu Bei".
Wang Zheng's talent is actually far more than that. He also has a lot of research on the practical and practical learning of military strategy, and has written works such as "Military Agreement" and "Guest Question". However, Wang Zheng's career was quite unsuccessful. In the original historical time and space, he was not until he was 52 years old, and was appointed as the Proxy of Guangping Prefecture of Zhili, Yangzhou Prefecture of Nanzhili, and Assistant of Shandong Censorship Office. Then he returned home due to his parents' death. After Ding You were fully immersed, he was appointed as the Military Supervision Bureau of Liaohai under the recommendation of Sun Yuanhua, the Governor of Denglai. However, he met Kong Youde shortly after taking office. Geng Zhongming was captured in rebellion. Although he was lucky to escape, his career ended here. It was precisely because of his poor career that he was unable to meet his talents, otherwise his historical achievements would be much greater.
Perhaps it was because of Guo Zhiyuan's appearance that Wang Zheng's fate also changed. By chance, he sent such a genius under Guo Zhiyuan's nose. How could Guo Zhiyuan not be excited? However, he was not good at explaining to Xu Guangqi how he knew that Wang Zheng, who was still unknown at this time, rubbed his hands excitedly and said, "I also heard someone introduce this person by chance. If this person gets praise from Mr. He must have real talent and knowledge. Mr. Go and invite him!..."
Xu Guangqi looked at Guo Zhiyuan with some suspicion, but he did not worry about this issue anymore and walked out to call Wang Zheng. After a while, Xu Guangqi brought Wang Zheng in, but Wang Zheng seemed to have no good feelings for Guo Zhiyuan, the prefect, and coldly bowed to Guo Zhiyuan, and stood there and stopped talking.
As early as in the capital, Wang Zheng had heard of Guo Zhiyuan's arrogance and domineering reputation. Yesterday, the drama Guo Zhiyuan sent someone to pretend to be a "life fan" could not hide it from Wang Zheng. In Wang Zheng's eyes, Guo Zhiyuan was the kind of ox-official minister who would do anything to achieve his goal. Wang Zheng attaches great importance to loyalty, filial piety, courtesy and righteousness. In the original historical time and space, after Li Zicheng captured Shaanxi, he heard that Wang Zheng had a name for himself and sent someone to invite him to be an official, but Wang Zheng refused to accept it. In the end, he died of a hunger strike, which shows his loyalty and wiseness. So he did not point at Guo Zhiyuan and scolded him as a "traitor". How could he give Guo Zhiyuan a good face?
Guo Zhiyuan didn't care, so he respectfully asked Wang Zheng to sit down, and personally served incense tea. He laughed happily: "Guo had heard of Mr. Guo's great talent, and he met him today. It was a blessing for Guo. If Guo could get help from Mr. Xu, why worry about the rise of the East China!..."
Wang Zheng did not appreciate it at all and said coldly: "Mr. Guo is afraid that he has made a mistake. Wang is unknown, so why is he very talented? Moreover, although Wang is a subordinate of the Lord, Wang receives a salary from the court and only does things for the court. The reason why Wang insists on staying is to keep an eye on Lord Guo for the court. If Wang finds out that Mr. Guo has something illegal, he will definitely report to the court! Mr. Guo is better be careful!..."
Guo Zhiyuan didn't expect Wang Zheng to be so merciless. He touched his nose with some embarrassment and said dryly: "It seems that Mr. Guo has a deep prejudice against Mr. Guo, but it doesn't matter. Mr. Guo believes that Lu Yaozhi's horsepower will show people's hearts over time. As long as Mr. Wang is willing to stay, he will understand one day that everything Guo has done is for the people of the world..."
Wang Zheng didn't expect that Guo Zhiyuan could still not get angry when he was so ruthlessly criticized. He was a little surprised and said coldly: "This is the best. Wang is just the chief clerk of the county government. He is very good at ranks from Lord Guo. If there is no important matter, don't summon Wang at will, so as not to let others say that Wang is in a favorable position and say goodbye!" After that, he stood up and left without looking back.
Guo Zhiyuan looked at Wang Zhengyuan's back and shook his head and smiled bitterly, saying, "It seems that I am really notorious now. I finally got such a talent, but I refused to use it for me!"
Xu Guangqi quickly persuaded: "Since ancient times, talented men are so arrogant. I will wait for me to find an opportunity to persuade him. Perhaps he will be willing to use it for the adults in time..."
Guo Zhiyuan nodded and said, "There is a golden stone that is clear from sincerity. As long as he stays in Dongfan, I have confidence that he can use it for me!", and waved his hand and said, "Let this go in advance. The group of Beijing officials sent by the imperial court to mix sand have been sent away, but the problem of Shengfan's refusal to naturalize has not been solved. What are the tricks of sir?"
