Survival Three Kingdoms

Chapter 473 New Debate Topic

With Lu Xun's help, Zhou Wen urged Zhou Cang even more vigorously to participate in the battle of the world. However, Zhou Wen felt that since he had already set off to conquer the country of Wa, he might as well wait. Maybe the battle between Cao Cao and Sun Quan might last for a year and a half. Ning is enough to win and return to the army. There are [-] sailors cruising on the river, which can be attacked and defended.

So what are you doing while you're waiting?Zhou Wen advised Zhou Cang to remarry.

"The lord passed on a single pass. It was hard to have two sons and a daughter. The population is thin and the blood is sparse. Zhou Xin and Zhou Ting lack playmates. For the sake of the Zhou family and the people of Xuzhou, the lord should marry a newcomer and spread the rain and dew so that they can flourish. Flourishing." Zhou Cang shook his head.I have already taken three wives, so it is difficult to marry a fourth concubine, isn't that Wei Xiaobao?In later generations, I always yearned for the ancients to have so many wives, but now I realize that the feeling is not good. Unless these women are only used as tools to carry on the family line, otherwise they will have the heart to let them sit in empty houses?Still the bones are important.Obviously Zhou Cang had no suitable reason to persuade Zhou Wen, so Zhou Cang had to marry the daughter of a merchant in Xuzhou, the Chen family.

Huang Xu was sent to Yingzhou, and Zhou Cang selected Xu Huang's son Xu Gai into the independent camp. As Wu Gang's assistant, the independent camp has become a training base for generals.After a year of hard work by Wu Gang, Zhen's family is pregnant, but Dianman and Xin Xianying haven't seen anything yet, perhaps because they have just reached their full age and are still young.

With Lu Xun joining, Zhou Cang handed over the deduction of the competition between Cao and Sun to Lu Xun, Zhou Wen, Zhuge Dan, and Duan Muling, and Deng Ai was practicing alongside him.The reason why Yang Rui was pulled out was that Zhou Cang had other arrangements.

Since Cao Cao went to Jingzhou, the main topic of debate in Xuzhou was whether he should go to Jingzhou or not. Zhou Cang felt that it was a bit off topic.According to his idea, it is necessary to carry out brainstorming, change people's inertial thinking, weaken the gentry, and open up the wisdom of the people.At the beginning, it got off to a good start. The debate in Xuzhou was very loud, and occasionally got off topic. Zhou Cang would not intervene, but Zhou Cang felt that now was the right time to intervene behind the scenes.

Zhou Cang recruited Yang Rui, "When Zhou Chong left Xuzhou, he must have entrusted you with several potential spies from the academy and among the debaters."

"Returning to the lord, there are mainly 12 people in total, including four colleges, three merchants, two craftsmen, two officials, and one old farmer. They each have their own offline, but they all have a single connection."

Zhou Cang laughed, there are quite a few people from all walks of life, Zhou Chong has selected a complete range of people, and even went offline, undercover, spy, killer, assassin, and what else he didn't do. Chong will definitely create a huge organization similar to Jinyiwei.

"Eight more people can be added, mixed with servants and wine shops... By the way, there will be tea houses in Xuzhou next year. From now on, you must always understand the topics of debate in the streets and alleys, and take the initiative. You can ask Zhang Jin about the tea houses and let him arrange them manpower."

Yang Rui nodded frequently, it seems that the master still has a big task to do.

"Cao Cao went to Jingzhou, and the debates are just superficial and painful. The last debate was on the topic of Kong Rong, and this time we might as well use him. The first debate topic is whether Kong Rong deserves to die for a crime, and how should he be sentenced? The second is How to define inappropriate speech, misleading people, and instigation, and how to convict them?"

Alas, even if Kong Rong is dead, he will not live in peace. "Are you only asking questions?" Yang Rui asked after a while.

"Of course not." Zhou Cang drew a circle on the table with his index finger, and suddenly felt that it was demeaning, so he took it back. "We want to disseminate the following remarks: First, the conviction should be according to the law, and the sentence must be judged. Those in power cannot do whatever they want, even the state shepherd, the prime minister, or the emperor! If there is no way to find it, the people and officials should form a jury to work together. After discussing the crime, the law must be supplemented and perfected; punishment without trial or sentence is lynching. Second, there should be evidence, personal and physical evidence for conviction, and no assumptions, let alone torture. Third, those who are convicted by words, Criticizing and educating them makes them repent and accuse the world of their crimes. Those who are serious should confine their feet and study behind closed doors. Of course, those who spread rumors, slander, and incite rebellion and rebellion are another matter." Zhou Cang continued: "It can make those who talk nonsense change their minds and confess their crimes to the world. , is far better than killing."

Yang Rui turned pale and said: "My lord's action, won't it make people talk about current affairs and disturb people's hearts?"

"Haha, the people of Xuzhou have been under my rule for nearly ten years, and the number of scholars has increased several times. Even the old peasants in the country know some truths in the world. It is no longer the time when the grasslands were closed, and right and wrong are naturally weighed in the hearts of the people. I think It is far from enough for Zhao Yu and Liu Zheng to be advisers and deliberative envoys. Industry, agriculture, business, and education can all discuss politics. To tell you the truth, I intend to set up a parliament in Liaodong three years later, and Xuzhou is just a pedal." Zhou Cang laughed. "These debate topics will also be spread to Liaodong, and someone should be sent to Chen Jiaojian to write them into the legal code!"

The establishment of the House of Representatives is to bring the private debates into the government, and bring the private debates to the table. But wouldn't the state priests and the various departments become targets?Yang Rui was puzzled, not knowing whether this was right or wrong. There was no doubt that the power of the government had been weakened, but it avoided the excessive concentration of power and abuse of power. For example, Cao Cao killed whoever he wanted.Uh, no, as long as Cao Cao ignores the House of Representatives, or dissolves the House of Representatives, who can do anything to him, or use Cao Cao’s power to suppress, win over, and buy these councilors, and if he is disobedient, he will replace them all with his own people. Isn't it still a decoration?

The more Yang Rui thought about it, there seemed to be too many problems in it. He even thought of the Son of Heaven. Could it be said that the Son of Heaven should also be restricted?The Lord's plan will be implemented in Liaodong three years later, and there may be other deep meanings in it.

Zhou Cang smiled: "It's three years, maybe five years or even ten years, and it doesn't necessarily have to be in Liaodong, maybe it will be in Jeju or Yingzhou. In short, it will come when it happens, and weeding seedlings will not help them grow."

"Although I don't really understand what the lord said, I also understand that the lord wants to spread the word. There is another interesting thing here. A few days ago, someone said in the wine shop that the lord is not suitable for Xuzhou, but he still controls Pingzhou and Jeju. The national system does not match?"

"Well, it's kind of interesting, what's the reaction?"

Yang Rui said with a smile: "I was immediately attacked by a crowd, but this person said that although the Lord has made great contributions to Xuzhou and the people, he still needs to discuss the matter with reason."

"Could this person be trying to build momentum for me? He has a lot of thoughts."

"My lord is wise, and I can see the purpose of this person in one word. Although this person seems to be criticizing, he is actually making a name for the lord. I'm afraid he wants to sell it for a price."

"Then what happened afterwards?" Zhou Cang found it interesting. It is rare to see such a thoughtful person. This kind of person is not only a bit cunning, but also a bit self-important.
