Survival Three Kingdoms

Chapter 302 Wine
"It's a good sentence: the speaker has no intention of listening, and the listener has the heart, and he has been taught. I'm Cui Jun." The middle-aged man said.

"I'm Shi Tao."

"Under Mengjian."

The two youths bowed their hands respectively.

It turned out to be the three of them, and they came so fast.Why didn't Zhou Chong come back with him?Could it be that you were stumped by something else?Perhaps it was to inquire about Liu Bei's news, or to build a stronghold in Jingzhou?With Zhou Xi's alertness and years of experience, nothing should happen.It was definitely not my own bastard spirit that attracted these three people to come to Xuzhou in a hurry.

"I have admired the three great names for a long time. Please drink this cup."

Cui Lie only said that Zhou Cang was being polite, he looked carefully at Zhou Cang, no matter how he looked, he looked like a warrior, not to mention Dian Wei who was full of flesh.I thought to myself, people should not be judged by their appearance, this person is actually a literati.Wang Jie and Pang Tong of Jingzhou are also strange in appearance, they are much thinner than those in Weiguo. Could it be that the people in the Central Plains are so burly? "Su Wen Xuzhou College is full of talented people, is Mr. Wei Guo a member of the college?"

"Probably." Zhou Cang was taken aback, wondering why he regarded himself as a college student.

Hearing Zhou Cang's answer, Cui Jun thought that Zhou Cang was a visiting professor of the college.Shi Tao couldn't wait to taste the wine. "Good wine, it's a little sour at first taste, but sweet aftertaste. I've heard the name of Xuzhou fruit wine for a long time, but the taste I tasted in Jingzhou was not as good as what I drink today."

"Haha, sir, I'm just joking. It's just because good wines are good but not many, so the good quality wines are treasured by the shops. I have some connections with the merchants to get some. Since the husband likes it, I can give him a bottle." Just kidding, Zhou Cang The wine he drank was of course the best, and it was personally selected by Mi Fang for Zhou Cang.

"Thank you, thank you very much." Seeing Zhou Cang's generosity, Shi Tao smiled happily.

"You're welcome. Xuzhou originally had Lanling fine wine, but it was made from millet to save food." Zhou Cang replied.

"Xuzhou Zhou Shijun can think about the people and find a unique way, which is really rare." Cui Jun turned the topic to Xuzhou's governance through wine. "When I came here, I passed by Xiapi. After the flood, Zhou Shijun ordered tax relief for three years. He is a benevolent man. The local people praised him a lot. Today I saw Mr. reciting poems, which shows Xuzhou's cultural and martial arts. Jingzhou has not been in chaos, although food Compared with Xuzhou, it is still far inferior to many troops."

"I don't know if the three of you came to Xuzhou to find friends or to study, and you haven't asked for an official yet?" Zhou Cang asked casually.

"Just because we heard that Xuzhou's big exam is coming soon, and this kind of exam has never been heard before, so we came here to find out. Sir, you want to take the big exam?"

Zhou Cang shook his head slightly, "Since ancient times, being an official is one of inheritance, and the other is self-recommendation and recommendation. In ancient times, the population was withered and literate people were even rarer. These two methods may be effective. However, since Qin unified the countries and established prefectures and counties , the selection of talents is far from enough. After the founding of the Han Dynasty, the population of our Han Dynasty has doubled, and the land has been continuously developed, and people are urgently needed to govern. Where do talents come from? Lao Dan advocated a small country with few people. It has been hundreds of years now, how to use the ideas hundreds of years ago to govern the country? That’s why Xuzhou has opened colleges and regularly selects talents through major examinations.”

Meng Jian said sternly: "I dare not communicate with Mr. Wang. How can the thoughts of thousands of years not govern the country? The words of the saints should be the foundation of our life and the outline of governing the country."

"I also agree with what you said." Zhou Cang said, "I just think that we should not stand still and keep pace with the times. Even saints will not know what will happen thousands of years later. We must inherit and carry forward the ideas of our ancestors. , to adapt to the trend of development, but also to meet the needs of the people. In ancient times, the population was millions, illiterate, and lived in groups. Today, there are tens of millions of people in the world, and what will happen if it reaches hundreds of millions in a thousand years .”

Xiao Mian, argue with me. I have studied dialectical materialism hard. What you said has already been debated many times.With my eyes closed, I can recite the standard answer.

"Don't rest on your laurels, keep pace with the times." The three fell into deep thought.

"Exactly, the so-called knowing the destiny, what is the destiny? I think it is to follow the laws of nature and human development, not to try to prevent or restrict." Zhou Cang said, "For example, in the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties, the enfeoffment of princes, that is Because the people were few and production was backward. When Zhou Tianzi moved to the east, due to the increase in population and land demand, each country went its own way, leading to melee among the princes. Therefore, after the unification of Qin, it was changed to a prefecture and county system. Tyranny of the Qin Dynasty, the emperor killed the snake, but the overlord of Chu Still wanting to re-divide the princes, this is retrogression. In the end, all the princes rebelled, leading to embarrassment on all sides. Gaozu still adopted the county system and set up the legacy that no one with the Liu surname should be crowned king. Even so, the rebellion of the Six Kingdoms was not avoided. This shows that One spot."

"Oh, it's really unheard of to listen to the teacher's words. I'll be taught." The three people's thoughts of loyalty to the Han Dynasty are deeply rooted, and the thought of scholar-bureaucrats governing the country is even more indestructible.Therefore, even though they disagreed with Zhou Cang's words, it was not so different that they did not conspire with each other.

"Then Mr. thinks that the princes are now separated, so what should be the explanation?"

"The separatism of the princes originated from the chaos caused by the Yellow Turbans, and the rebels were in power. Therefore, it is only temporary, and sooner or later the world will still be unified."

"Where did the Yellow Turban rebellion and the rebellious officials come from?" Cui Jun continued to ask.

Zhou Cang laughed loudly, he was really chasing after him, did he have to tell the emperor? "What do you think is the Xuzhou University Examination?"

The three of them felt that Zhou Cang was unfathomable, and began to have doubts about Zhou Cang's identity, which most people would never think so much about.

"Xuzhou has an academy and a martial arts academy. Each of the two academies has a union. The academy is: go elsewhere for promotion and fortune. The martial arts academy is: greedy for life and fear of death, don't enter this school." Zhou Cang changed the topic to the academy again.

"Bold!" Cui Jun exclaimed.

"Excuse me, is there any horizontal criticism?" Meng Jian asked.

"Yes! It's just not posted. Hengbiao: Worry about the world's worries first, and enjoy the world's joys later!"

The three looked at each other for a long time. "Listening to what you said, our trip to Xuzhou is worthwhile. Dare I ask if this is all asked by Mr. Zhou?"

Before Zhou Cang spoke, Sun Da came over with a plate. "Master...Master, the fish has been grilled, please enjoy it."

"Okay, let's chat while eating. It's a special taste to eat grilled fish with wine, but it's a pity that it's going to be summer now, and it tastes better with iced wine." Zhou Cang said.Sun Da was very alert and almost betrayed his identity.

Everyone started to eat, and suddenly smelled the aroma of wine, not the aroma of wine, Zhou Cang frowned.Sun Da hurriedly said: "It's evil, he's not used to wine, so he kept some Lanling wine."

"Haha, everyone is blessed." Zhou Cang said with a smile, "Go and get the wine and pour each of us a glass."

Under Dian Wei's glaring gaze, Sun Da tremblingly brought the jar of wine a bowl for each person, but because the cups were not enough, he had to use bowls instead.
