Wang Shouren looked at Fang Jifan with a calm expression.

After listening to Wang Shouren's words, Fang Jifan looked up and pondered for a long time before saying, "Your personality loses because of your integrity. Of course, your mentor is also so honest, but your mentor suffers a lot of losses for this. Now you are an official and start to be a role model like a teacher. You must learn to be more tactful in the future, otherwise you will suffer a big loss like a teacher."

This is what I say from my heart!

"Look at your senior brother Xu Jing, he is very sleek, very flexible, and very appropriate in his work. If you can learn from him, you will be relieved by your teacher. You know that you are very powerful. Those who chatter will fear you, but in this world, fists alone cannot solve the problem. If you are a teacher, you should be convinced by virtue."

Wang Shouren said oh, suddenly looked at Fang Jifan steadily, and raised a question: "But Senior Brother Xu is also very straightforward. He quarreled with the attendant of the Hanlin Academy's Literature and History Museum for the matter of the Naitu, and almost started a fight. Fortunately, he was persuaded to stop him. Otherwise, the attendant would have been beaten to death by Senior Brother Xu..."

Is there something like this?

Fang Jifan was stunned.

In his impression, Xu Jing, a guy who is sometimes lustful and often sneaks away from his brothers and runs to undescribable places, is the most worry-free for him.

But... this guy actually started fighting with someone?

I almost got beaten to death... no, did I almost beat me to death?

Thinking of this, Fang Jifan suddenly became angry and slapped the table and said, "Which is the one who has no eyes? He doesn't take Heng's father seriously, but he just looks down on Fang Jifan. If he doesn't beat him to death, he will write the word "六" upside down."

Hengfu is the name Xu Jing.

Wang Shouren quickly advised: "Mr., don't be impulsive. Senior Brother Xu is not injured, but that servant..."

"As his junior brother, you didn't help me when you learned about this. What's the use of learning this martial arts?" Fang Jifan widened his eyes and pointed his finger at Wang Shouren angrily.

Wang Shouren hurriedly bowed and said, "The disciples died, but when the students and several senior brothers rushed over, they saw Senior Brother Xu riding on the attendant. The attendant was over 50 years old and was crying. When we saw Senior Brother Xu raise his fist to hit him, we pulled Senior Brother Xu away..."

Fang Jifan's eyes turned cold and said in a deep voice: "It seems that if one day, my master will ride on someone else's body and raise his fist to hit him, you will definitely not help you, but will pull me away. Alas..."

“…”

Wang Shouren already felt that it was very difficult to deal with people. Now facing his mentor, he felt that his mind was too slow. He had never realized so much that he was so bad at dealing with people.

Fang Jifan thought Wang Shouren would scream and say that the students and mentors would beat the dog thief so much that he didn't recognize him.

But Wang Shouren held it in for a long time, but said, "In the minds of students, the teacher has noble character and loves to joke, but he is definitely not a vengeful person. I think the teacher will not have such a conflict with others."

“…”

This is pretty good.

But Fang Jifan felt that he was missing something.

But now I don’t have to worry about this issue now. The matter of Xu Jing’s trouble is important. Why has the guy changed his mind and nature changed? Could it be that he has been busy with official duties these days and has fewer places to go to, so his temperament has become more rude?

Being a father, no, is being a mentor, I really worry about it.

Fang Jifan thought for a while and said, "How do you deal with this matter in the Hanlin Academy?"

Wang Shouren said: "After learning about this, Mr. Chen from Hanlin did not punish Senior Brother Xu severely, but just asked him to apologize to the servant in public."

Fang Jifan nodded. This scholar Chen seemed to be quite good at writing. It is said that his moral articles are extremely well written, but now it seems that he is also a very flexible person.

Otherwise, if this Hanlin scholar became serious and brought Xu Jing out of the Hanlin Academy on this grounds, Fang Jifan could guarantee that he would have a wrongdoing and debtor, and Shen Wen could live a good life one day. Fang Jifan would not have the surname Fang, and his surname would be Shen.

"Well, he is pretty sensible." Fang Jifan nodded with satisfaction.

At this time, Wang Shouren said, "But Senior Brother Xu still insisted that the chart was wrong and refused to apologize."

“…”

Fang Jifan: "..."

The cause and effect of things is actually very simple.

Xu Jing was a Shuji scholar. Because he was young and experienced, the so-called Shuji scholar was basically like a messenger in the Hanlin Academy. The attendant of the Literature and History Museum was ordered to sort out the nautical information collected from Liu Daxia.

As a servant, of course it is impossible to do it yourself, so these things were left to the subordinate Shujis to do.

But in the process of sorting out the information, Xu Jing discovered many mistakes.

The Xu family was a family in Jiangnan. The most prominent achievement of its ancestors was that when the Mongols went south, they collected a large amount of astronomical and geographical information from the Song Dynasty. After experiencing disasters, many valuable information had long been lost.

Even the ancient books that are still preserved are not actually caring, because this large number of ancient documents that survived the chaos of the Song and Yuan dynasties involves most of them works such as astronomy, geography, travel notes, and now the eight-legged scholars are not enough to read the Four Books and Five Classics. Who would care about these?

These valuable information are the heirlooms of the Xu family. After several generations of the Xu family's research, Xu Jing began to come into contact with it since he was a child and was extremely proficient in this astronomy and geography.

During the Song Dynasty, in coastal areas such as Fujian at that time, a large number of Song Dynasty merchant ships went to the West, and even further away to conduct maritime trade. Many private merchants recorded what they saw and heard overseas. In the Yuan Dynasty, in order to check and balance the numerous Han people, the Mongolians adopted a discriminatory policy against the Han people in the south, and instead appointed large-scale cannibals. Therefore, at that time, a large number of large-scale cannibals began to live in Fujian, and at the same time, marine trade began to become more and more frequent.

All of these have been recorded.

Countless records, after the war in the early Ming Dynasty, the world was settled and people were at peace. Emperor Hongwu held the imperial examination and scholars began to study the eight-legged essays carefully, no one studied these circulating materials.

However, the Xu family has been working hard for this for several generations. They collected ancient books everywhere, detailed a large amount of information on astronomy, geography, customs and culture, and conducted research based on this. The tallest building of the Xu family is neither the ancestral hall nor the front hall, but the "Wanjuan Tower" built by Xu Jing and great-grandfather. In this Wanjuan Tower, they constantly sorted out the information, confirmed various materials from the Song and Yuan dynasties, and sorted out countless ancient books.

Therefore, as a descendant of the Xu family, Xu Jing was smart since childhood. Under the influence of his father and ancestors, he began to browse a large number of ancient books and recorded countless ancient books, and even documents brought by a large number of cannibals in Quanzhou at that time.

He pointed out the errors marked on certain islands in the information on voyage to the West, and the result...of course, others were slight and no one paid attention to him.

But Xu Jing was anxious. He felt that he was right, so he insisted on his own opinion and finally had a conflict with the attendant.

The next evening, Xu Jing returned to Fang Mansion after the time of duty.

He was in the Hanlin Academy and had a very unpleasant life.

After all, he was originally sleek and flexible, and suddenly made a fuss. Although he was not punished by a serious punishment, the other Hanlins were somewhat cold to him.

When I arrived at the front hall, I forced a smile and wiped my forehead as usual, and took off the messy hair on my forehead, and pretended to be a handsome man. But as soon as I entered, I saw my mentor sitting in the front hall with a gloomy face.

"Student... I have met my mentor." Xu Jing hurried forward and bowed with a smile.

Fang Jifan opened his eyes and slapped his desk: "The good things you did in the Hanlin Academy."

Xu Jing was originally bowing, but when he saw his mentor getting angry, he immediately knelt down and said, "Yes, the students have died, and the students should not have conflicts with Liu Shixue, but..."

He wanted to speak but stopped.

Fang Jifan still looked at him with a calm face: "But what?"

"The information on voyage to the West was compiled for my Ming Dynasty to voyage to the West. Any mistakes were unpredictable. In the documents of Emperor Wen, many places were missing due to their age. Some places, perhaps because of the inadequate care of the clerks in the fleet at that time, were marked incorrectly."

"Student..." Facing Fang Jifan's cold face, Xu Jing finally showed grievances on his face: "Although the students were only responsible for sorting out, they found that several islands were actually incorrect in standard. There was another one. There was obviously no Danshui on the island, but it marked that there was. Mentor, this was going to happen. If you go to the West according to this chart, the fleet thought that there would be Danshui when it arrived at that island. Once the Danshui was insufficient, and if it was climbing to this island, it would be impossible to absorb Danshui. How many people would die in the entire fleet? For such a big thing, the students dare not joke, so they wanted to correct these mistakes."

"Students have studied ancient books at home since childhood, including three big food merchants and two marine merchants in the Song Dynasty. They all said it was certain that the island must not be stopped... This can be confirmed by each other. The so-called lonely evidence does not stand. The Hanlin Academy's naval chart materials are only from one's own words, and a large number of marine merchants in the Song and Yuan dynasties..."

Fang Jifan frowned: "What do you mean is there a lot of mistakes in the Western map?"

Xu Jing looked up and stared at Fang Jifan: "There are so many mistakes. There are very big problems with these materials. They are not from the original version."

"Not the original version?" Fang Jifan looked at Xu Jing, a little suspicious.

Xu Jing continued: "The maps and materials from Emperor Wen's period will be archived at the Ministry of War, but after all, the paper is old. Once the age is long, these materials will inevitably get wet or be poorly preserved. Therefore, the Ministry of War will re-copied every twenty years. That is to say, copy one copy according to the original version and then seal it."
