Survival Three Kingdoms

609 - One piece of peace

With the introduction of three relatively moderate measures, the status of the government and courts has gradually improved, and the role of mediators has become more prominent, becoming a new profession, and some even began to act as guarantors for both parties to a transaction or conflict.So Chen Ying took advantage of the trend to set up a mediation firm and hired law students to join the firm.

Pingzhou, Jeju, and Yingzhou developed according to the trajectory set by Zhoucang. Good policies, supporting laws, new currency system and financial system provided a huge impetus. Industry, agriculture, and business all made rapid progress, and the population of the three states exceeded 350. Ten thousand.

Of course, the unpaid labor provided by the Japanese played a big role here. The 50 labor force was freed from the labor of the Han people, but after so many years, the Japanese have dropped to 30.Letter from Zhou Xi, everything is fine in Yingzhou. Since the adoption of popular elections at the village and township levels, the people have become accustomed to participating in political affairs. It is difficult to get through between counties, and the state legislature often has disputes over the division of interests among counties.Zhou Cang replied that it is normal for such problems to arise, and they are left to fight, and after fighting, they will compromise with each other and form a resolution.One is that in the case of unresolved discussions, you can vote to decide. A Yilang can abstain from voting up to three times a year; second, if you encounter a plan that is shelved, you will have to reconsider it if you put it on hold for at most one year. If no resolution can be reached, the governor will be authorized The government makes the final decision.

What worries Zhou Cang the most is Jizhou. Zhou Cang is not worried about the economy and agriculture. The people are very capable of self-regulation. What he worries most is the people's hearts.Jizhou is too complicated, all kinds of relationships are intertwined, and these forces are the best at hiding. Obedience and defiance are their consistent tricks.

Guoyuan is knowledgeable, upright, and good at governing. With his knowledge and prestige, within half a year, Jizhou has stabilized.But fighting wits and courage with these people is not so clever, and it is difficult to grasp the sense of proportion. If you are not careful, you will fall into the trap of these people and be used by others.Zhou Chong's Jinyiwei belongs to the violent department, and it should be used at the key point. It should be used as little as possible. Zhou Cang didn't want Jinyiwei to be infamous from the beginning.

In view of the fact that Pingzhou was on the right track, Zhou Cang decided to switch Xun Chen and Guoyuan, and Xun Chen was appointed as the governor of Jizhou. First, Xun Chen was familiar with Jizhou. In Jizhou; second, Xun Chen is resourceful and has different means to deal with all kinds of people. Coupled with his qualifications and prestige, he can definitely deter a group of people.Yang Rui can learn more from him, and he will unify the world by himself in the future. These two people are his right-hand men in government affairs.

Mi Fang is quite well-behaved in Qingzhou, vigorously developing agriculture, and sorghum has become popular in Beihai.Originally Mi Fang was not suitable for Qingzhou, he would be more suitable in Jeju and Youzhou, but Zhou Cang had his own plan.

To capture Jizhou and Qingzhou, the next strategic focus will be shifted to the Central Plains. The original land road was blocked, and Zhou Cang didn't feel much about it in Xuzhou. After the land road with Jizhou was unblocked, it would no longer satisfy the strategic needs to keep the government in Xuzhou.Therefore, Zhou Cang ordered Mi Fang to build Liaogong and Hushi General's Mansion in Jinan, and the address was chosen near Baotu Spring. Zhou Cang took this name when he was in Jinan.The time is set in February of the 21st year of Jian'an, and Zhou Cang will move to Qingzhou to preside over the overall situation.Cui Jun will be the governor of Xuzhou, and Xu Huang will be in charge of military affairs.

This is not only Zhou Cang's idea after returning from Jinan, but also Zhou Wen's suggestion.Zhou Wen is about to turn seventy, because there are many rising stars who have become Zhou Cang's arm, Zhou Wen gradually stopped showing his face, and only offered some general opinions, and more often he helped Ma Yunlu take care of the children at home.Now Xuzhou already knows that the so-called Yunlu is actually Ma Yunlu, Ma Teng's daughter.

Maybe it's because I sinned too much when I was young, and Zhou Wen's violent spirit was obviously weak when he was old. He was full of expectations for Duanmu Jun, who was just one year old. The second Ma Chao.

Although the Liaodong and Yingzhou entourage did not last long, Zhou Xin benefited a lot and gained more opinions of his own.Since Zhou Cang can't go out, in addition to personally coaching Zhou Cang, he often makes Zhou Xin travel around various departments and colleges, and even makes Zhou Xin go deep into the farmland, the chamber of commerce and the market to understand the people's conditions.Qu Fengxian is Zhou Xin's little follower, just like another Dianman.

Dianman taught Qu Fengxian carefully, and led Qu Fengxian to switch to double iron halberds, which made Lu Qiling very depressed.Little sister Gan is the happiest. Xin Xianying is pregnant, and the little girl can't smile from ear to ear. She must be a boy.

Xu's mother is in good health. Although Ganmei passed away, she has Bu Lianshi as her companion. She is busy arranging her marriage. Deng Ai and Bu Lianshi are old enough to get married.

Xuzhou is so peaceful.However, Zhou Cang's decision to move to Qingzhou cannot be shaken. Before going to Jinan, there is still a big thing to do. Before there is no result, Zhou Cang is still worried.

Under the operation of Jiang Gan, the research on etiquette has been overwhelming. People in Liaodong are extremely disgusted with red tape. They generally think that hypocrisy is the most annoying thing. Therefore, many people call for a change. In fact, Liaodong has already formed Own set, just not as custom.

The exchanges between Liaodong and Xuzhou were deepening day by day, and the exchanges between officials, teachers, students, and merchants inevitably led to discussions and even disputes.Xuzhou people think that Liaodong people are too utilitarian, value money and lack benevolence and righteousness. To put it bluntly, they are nouveau riche who lack education. , To put it bluntly, he is a panelist full of benevolence, righteousness and morality.

The great Confucianists took the opportunity to point out that it is precisely because of this that virtuous people are chosen to govern and educate the people; Liaodong people scoffed, what is a virtuous person?How many people can there be since ancient times?It is a fantasy that everyone can become Yao and Shun. Since everyone cannot become Yao and Shun, then it is better to talk about something practical than empty talk.

The level of debate is getting higher and higher, even when it comes to the selection of officials and personnel, this kind of competition has also reached the sides of the gentry and the common people, the Confucian scholars and the Baiding, which obviously deviates from Zhou Cang's original intention.Zhou Cang had to intervene in private to limit the scope of the theory. Now is not the time to overthrow the rich and noble families all at once.

So under the planning of Jiang Gan, a big debate about etiquette was started in Xuzhou. According to Jiang Gan's imitation of Zhou Cang's statement, this is called not being able to explain things clearly, not being able to discern the reason, and everyone may wish to put something on the table , Let's discuss it together.
