Survival Three Kingdoms

Chapter 397 Unifying the Mind
"Wen Ruo, draft an edict to Zhou Cang, ordering him to send troops to quell the rebellion, and use Xuzhou Mu to temporarily manage Taishan and Beihai affairs." Cao Cao was still very generous. "Again, Xiahoudun and Yu Jinbing will attack Jinan County in two ways and take down the remaining counties in Qingzhou."

"Based on Gongda and Fengxiao's words, let Zhang Xiu and Le Jin be the vanguards, Zhang Jai and Zhang Liao the left and right armies, Han Hao and Shi Huan the central leaders and central guards, Xu You and Xun You the marching staff officers, Cheng Yu sent [-] troops for Chang Shi to attack Li Yang."

From the end of the seventh year of Jian'an, Zhou Cang's life was very comfortable. The number of personnel selected in the second major examination was enriched to various divisions, prefectures and counties. The shortage of officials in Xuzhou was finally improved.A large number of new agricultural tools and grain seeds have been put into production, and the annual harvest is expected to increase by more than [-]%.

The variety of materials in the commercial bank has become more and more abundant. Under the leadership of the two newcomers Zhang Jin and Han Yue, the handicraft industry has developed vigorously, surpassing the momentum of agricultural development.

In the spring of the eighth year of Jian'an, good news spread continuously. First, Wu Anguo sent back news from Jinzhou. Last autumn, Xun Chen and Yuan Mai came to Jinzhou, and at the same time they brought more than a thousand craftsmen. With the joining of so many craftsmen, there are tens of thousands of Zang Ba. With assistance, the construction of the outer city of Ningyuan was completed before winter, and the city of Ningyuan was completely completed after the beginning of spring.According to the original agreement, Zang Ba went north to attack Goguryeo, but Wu Anguo lobbied Zang Ba again. Zang Ba brought [-] people from Mount Tai. It is not suitable to go north at this time. Therefore, after Zang Ba took down Goguryeo, he went to rendezvous with Zang Ba.

Zang Ba thought it was very reasonable, so he kept the people in Jinzhou temporarily, and Wu Anguo provided them with food and clothing. In return, they would assist in the completion of the construction of Jinzhou and Songshan.According to Wu Anguo, Jinzhou stopped work when one-third of the work was completed. According to this progress, the construction of the three cities can be completed this year, one year ahead of the original plan.

The second piece of good news was brought back by Guan Ning. With the participation of Chen Jiao and Zheng Chao, Liaodong College was completed last year and began to enroll students after the beginning of spring. The first batch recruited [-] students.After Ge Jun arrived in Liaodong, his wisdom exploded, and he developed sleds and skateboards in winter, which greatly facilitated the transportation of goods.Ge Jun found Liu Li again. The two of them didn't know what they were studying, but according to Ge Jun, if it was applied to the military formation, one could count as ten.

The third piece of good news belongs to Zhang Jiong.There is nothing unusual about the large-scale immigration, and they are well integrated with the locals. The land has been re-divided, and spring plowing is in full swing.Su Yang has produced Taishi chairs, etc., and the first batch was sent to Youzhou. Yuan Xi was very satisfied and bought out the management right at a high price.In addition, he brought two pieces of news for Bocai and Gan Ning. One was that Kebi was able to withdraw the soldiers and horses three hundred miles away as promised, and the bilateral trade was smooth, and both sides were happy.The second is that Gan Ning has completed all four water villages in Liaodong, and has stockpiled a large number of giant trees, but it will take a period of time before large-scale shipbuilding can take place.

The three news from Liaodong are exciting, which indicates that Zhou Cang has completely determined his dominant position, and everything is developing in a good direction.When the three cities are completed, Zang Ba occupies Goguryeo, and Gan Ning builds a big ship, then Liaodong will be proud of the Northeast.

The fly in the ointment is that Xun Chen failed to persuade Tian Chou to surrender.Zhou Cang's fingers lightly slid across the Eight Immortals table, how to solve this disaster?Zhou Cang now has three choices, one is to borrow Wuhuan people, the other is to use Xianbei people, and the third is to do it himself.After weighing it again and again, using Wuhuan or Xianbei people will have great hidden dangers and unknown variables, it is best to do it yourself.

In the end, Zhou Cang ordered Sun Da to send a secret letter to Guan Hai, asking Guan Hai to spend a lot of money to recruit dead men from those attached participants and hunters, sneak into Xuwu Mountain to assassinate Tian Chou, and remind Guan Hai that Tian Chou is good at using swords To seize the opportunity, just in case, Tian Guang's bag of poison was also sent to Guan Hai.

The importance of Jinzhou is self-evident. With Wu Anguo and Liang Guang, there is no need to worry too much about the military, but Jinzhou's development must also keep up. Zhou Ji can't afford this burden. Zhou Cang will give Zhang Jiong and Xun Chen sent a letter, appointing Xun Chen as the prefect of Jinzhou, the prime minister of Western Liaoning, and Zhou Ji was still in charge.

Zhou Cang was greatly shocked by Chen Deng's last words to Zhou Cang before his death. Under this historical background, although the power he created is not a paper tiger, it is similar to window paper. If it is not passed on, it will soon be blown away by the wind.A lot of efforts have been made in restructuring and improving productivity, but there is still a long way to go in terms of raising awareness and unifying ideas.

Zhou Cang thought for a whole winter, and finally decided to carry out a change in thinking and philosophy, but he didn't dare to take too big a step. If he was one step faster than others, he was called first; if he was two steps faster, he was called a pioneer; if he was three steps faster, he could only He is a martyr, although a martyr can inspire future generations, but Zhou Cang doesn't want to be a martyr.

In March, he gathered Sun Qian, Guan Ning, Guo Yuan, Zhao Yu, Liu Zheng, Cui Jun and other great Confucians together to prepare for a brainstorm.At the beginning, everyone talked about the past and the present and spoke freely. Zhou Cang seized the opportunity and said: "Since Emperor Wu, it is very reasonable to advocate Confucianism and take it as the foundation of governing the country. conducive to promoting development.”

Hearing Zhou Cang's sudden remarks, everyone listened attentively.

"Since Confucius founded Confucianism, Zeng Zi and Mencius later promoted it. Therefore, I think that the theory of one family is not static. How can the thoughts of thousands of years ago adapt to the present? Therefore, it should be continuously supplemented and perfected."

After listening to Zhou Cang's words, several people looked at each other in blank dismay. Zhou Cang's words were a bit big. How many people dare to say that their knowledge can catch up with Confucius and Mencius, and dare to supplement and perfect Confucianism?

"Of course, this is my personal thinking and it may not be right." Zhou Cang saw the worries of the people, "The so-called supplement and perfection are by no means done by one person. We can gather the theories of various schools to prove it. As the saying goes: Don't pick a word If you don’t understand, you can’t tell the truth. We will always be able to distinguish right from wrong with the strength of everyone.”

Guoyuan nodded: "Shi Jun's words are reasonable. For a long time, each school has developed its own theories, and they have never given in to each other. There has never been a theory of learning from each other. With the establishment of Huaxia College, we can completely improve the theories of each school. Sorting, codifying and adding our views, just need more discussion."

What Zhou Cang meant was to revise and improve Confucianism in the name of the academy. This is not a personal behavior of one person.This proposal was successfully passed. Zhou Cang suggested that the college set up a research group, and the team leader Guan Ningguai would do this work. The name of the new work had already been chosen, and it was called "Xin Yu". What is the content of psychology, but as long as there is a change, it is success.
