Survival Three Kingdoms

Chapter 572 Zhou Xi's Errand

"Well. You have to remember that the Japanese must not be slaves to the Han people, so that the Han people will not be lazy and love leisure and hate work."

"Yes. Thanks to Dudu Xu's deployment in the early years, Yingzhou established ten counties, ten villages in each county, and the county officials in each village are elected by the people. Because the land is sparsely populated, there is no need to worry about food and clothing, and with General Huang Xu sitting in the town, nothing happened. Something happened."

"What I want to tell you starts here. We are safe now, but it doesn't mean we can sit back and relax in the future. Chen Jiao has already formulated a new law. This law will be implemented in Yingzhou. I will send people from Xuzhou and Liaodong to help you. You, Chen Zhong During Xiangping, I often asked Chen Jiao and Chen Ying for advice." Zhou Cang sighed slightly. "The reason why I sent Chen Zhong to help you is because I don't want you to be hindered in doing things. He may be lacking in ability, but he has followed me for many years and doesn't have so many miscellaneous thoughts."

"The new law is just one of them. In the future, law enforcement will be separated from political affairs and courts will be established." Zhou Cang explained the concept of the court. "All counties in Yingzhou must set up a special trial department."

Zhou Xi wrote down one by one, and felt that although there were difficulties, he could still overcome them.Zhou Cang also mentioned to the House of Representatives, "Every civil and military say that it is not suitable to implement it at this time, so it may be feasible when it will come to fruition. Yingzhou is different from other places, so I want you to take the lead in implementing it in Yingzhou. If the effect is good, it will be extended to Jeju."

"Officials in all parts of Yingzhou are elected by the people, ruled by law and supervised by the people, I think it is feasible." Zhou Xi said. "Just in this way, wouldn't the power of the Governor's Mansion be weakened?"

"The legislative power, the supreme judicial power, and the supervisory power are in your hands, and the military power is also in your hands. In addition, I made Mi Zhen and Zhen Yao split up the farming and mulberry industry and the chamber of commerce. There is nothing to worry about if the economic lifeline is not lost." Zhou Cang smiled slightly. "What's more, I have ordered Zhou Chong to set up Jinyiwei. Yingzhou Jinyiwei does not need to go outside, but only to investigate internally. Even if there is any mistake, it will be found out as soon as possible. However, Jinyiwei still needs to use its benefits. It needs to use it and check and balance it. You can't overstep your authority."

The management model and structure of Yingzhou have undergone earth-shaking changes, and Zhou Xi is a little bit powerless when he arrives. "Patriarch, we need people to preach new laws, form courts, and parliaments. Can you give me more people?"

"That's natural, but don't expect there will be too many, and most of them are newcomers. Young people have vigor and ideas, and have few distracting thoughts. You have to discuss and make up your mind together. When you encounter matters that cannot be resolved, it will be you and Chen Zhong. , Huang Xu, Mi Zhen, and Zhen Yao made the decision." Zhou Cang thought for a while and then said: "In principle, the minority obeys the majority, but I give you the right to make the final decision, and you have to be careful."

Zhou Xi laughed: "It's really impossible and there is a Patriarch. I guess there is no big event in Yingzhou." It does not involve the military and is not invaded by other places. This is the biggest advantage of Yingzhou. With the support of Jeju and Liaodong, there is no worries. It is Yingzhou's biggest guarantee, so it doesn't matter if something happens for a month or two.

"Since it's nothing serious, why do you bother me? If there's anything to discuss, I won't easily interfere with the decisions you make after discussion." Zhou Cang chuckled. "However, when it comes to Japanese people, the policy will never change: one is that Han nationality is not granted, and Han people are not allowed to intermarry; second, only serve hard labor, not slaves, no matter how smart and talented they are, they are not allowed to be officials; third, Japanese people cannot have leaders. Ten. Within a year, the number of Japanese people will be reduced by half, and there will be no more Japanese people in 50 years."

Zhou Xi didn't understand why Zhou Cang was so strict with the Japanese, but he didn't ask. "Patriarch, don't worry, if the Japanese have a leader or a talented scholar, I will kill them first."

"There is another point. This new policy is based on Yingzhou, but you can't stick to Yingzhou. You only think of Yingzhou's interests. I can't say that this is wrong, but you must also think about how to get along with other states in the future? You have to pay more attention to guidance. "Zhou Cangben has a lot of things to explain, and he has a lot of ideas to instill in Zhou Xi, but the new order needs to be explored slowly. "One last thing. Ten days ago, I ordered Zhou Xin to come to Xiangping, and it won't take long. When you return to Yingzhou, take him with you..."

"Ah? The young master is going to Yingzhou?" Zhou Xi's eyes widened. What does Patriarch mean by this? From now on, the young master will take root in Yingzhou?Overseas proclaiming emperor?
"Zhou Xin is 12 years old. It's time to come out and practice. It's better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books. This trip to Yingzhou is to see how Yingzhou governs. I think he will stay in Yingzhou for two to three years. Apart from supervising him Don't waste your studies, but also observe the New Deal, Yingzhou is only ten counties, it will be good for him to take a look around and learn more about the people's conditions."

It turned out that Zhou Cang wanted to train successors. Zhou Xi didn't think this burden was easier than the new law, the court, and the House of Representatives, especially when Zhou Xin was still so young... Zhou Xi felt a lot of pressure.

"You don't have to be nervous. Make sure he doesn't learn bad things, and let him see and understand others. When traveling, don't talk about ostentation. If you can walk, you can't ride a horse. If you can ride a horse, you can't ride in a car. Clothes can keep you warm, and you can eat enough to eat. The Japanese people, There is no need to let him go." Seeing Zhou Xi's difficulties, Zhou Cang smiled slightly: "There are so many things to explain, what difficulties do you have?"

"There are difficulties, but the Patriarch can rest assured that Zhou Xi will do his best to live up to the Patriarch's expectations. I want to open a college in Yingzhou, but there are no teachers."

"It's time to run a school." Zhou Cang thought for a while. "Kan Ze is knowledgeable and knowledgeable, and he also has calendar and calculation. He can be the dean. Wu Pu, a disciple of Mr. Hua Tuo, can be the vice dean to teach medicine. As for mining, agriculture, and business, Zhang Xiong, Mi Zhen, and Zhen Yao can also teach. "

Zhou Cang made up his mind that Yingzhou College would focus on natural sciences, so he intentionally weakened Confucian classics.However, Yingzhou has a poor background and a small population. It is estimated that it is rare to be able to convene three to five hundred students. Two deans and three visiting professors are enough. If there is any shortage, visiting professors from Liaodong and Xuzhou can be sent to give lectures.

"Almost forgot about one thing." Zhou Cang suddenly remembered that there was still a bank open, and he explained it to Zhou Xi again. "The bank will open next month, and Yingzhou happens to directly implement the new currency. Han Yue recommended his younger brother Han Cheng, who will be the governor of Yingzhou. You can prepare when you go back. It will open next year, and in another year, it will be established in various counties. set up a branch."

A large amount of information and policies dazzled Zhou Xi, and he had written down a thick pile of notes.Zhou Cang said with a smile: "Well, I'll give you Zhu Xian, the chief secretary of the mansion, so that you won't suffer from the copywriting again. He will come with Zhou Xin in a few days."

Zhou Xi is full of enthusiasm. With Zhu Xian, the task of supervising Zhou Xin's homework will also be shared. I am ashamed. I didn't go to school when I was a child. After 30 years of cramming, I have read a lot of books. I still dare not be Zhou Xin's teacher.

Before they knew it, the two had talked all night, and Zhou Cang yawned. "Let's stop here today. You go back and think about it carefully. If you don't understand something, you can ask me. Go around with Chen Zhong to see and learn more. I can't stay in Xiangping for long. I will return to Xuzhou in a month or so. , then you should go back to Yingzhou too."

"Isn't the Patriarch going to visit Yingzhou?"

"At least three years, at most five years, I will go to Yingzhou, I hope you can give me a satisfactory answer."
