Survival Three Kingdoms

Chapter 764 The result of fishing

In the first month of the 63th year of the Han Dynasty, good news came from Jiangnan Road. Two months ago, Li Yun'er gave birth to a son, named Zhou Nan. This made Zhou Cang more happy than capturing the five counties. The 800-year-old Zhou Cang has become a grandfather, and Zhou Cang has some fantasies about how the Zhou family will flourish in the future and what it will look like in [-] years.

There are happy things, and there are also bad things.Xu Shu sent a letter to Zhou Cang. Since Zhou Cang was in Jinbei, there have been many discordant incidents in Jinan.

The first one is about the Son of Heaven.The problem is the money, but the source is Sun Quan.Fan Wang Sun Quan sent Zhang Wen to pay tribute, including local specialties, rare birds and beasts, and gold, silver and jewelry.The problem was that Liu Xie thought it was a tribute from Sun Quan and should belong to him; the Executive Yuan believed that it was a tribute to the imperial court and should go to the treasury, so a disagreement arose.It seems that it is only a matter of money, but it is still imperial power in essence. It seems that both parties have a reason, and this is not within the scope of the agreement between Zhou Cang and Liu Xie.What to do, the Privy Council was also worried. A newly promoted Minister of Finance and Taxation, named Jin A, came up with an idea: all tributes worth less than [-] yuan can be brought into the inner palace, and those exceeding [-] yuan must be taxed at a discount of [-]% or Tax credits in kind to the treasury.The Privy Council did not dare to make a decision and asked Zhou Cang for instructions.

Zhou Cang laughed, and took a pen to reply: Submit to the House of Representatives for deliberation, and implement according to the result; if there are similarities in other matters, follow the same procedure.Write down the name of Jin Ah in your heart, this person has power and can be observed and used.

The second thing is also about the emperor, to be precise, about the emperor's grandson Liu Kang.According to the report given by Zhou Chong, Liu Kang and Zhou Yuan are very close, they are about the same age, and they both studied at Xun Chen and Duanmu's itching, so there are many opportunities to meet each other. In terms of aspects, it seems that the two have more consensus.After watching too many court dramas, Zhou Cang broke out in a cold sweat. What do these two children want to do?One is worried about his throne, and the other is the third heir, which can easily inspire a common language.

To guard against the passing of time, it is even more important to plan ahead. Zhou Cang does not mind that his son is capable, nor does he mind fighting for power, but he cannot tolerate his New Deal ideas being wasted. Assuming that Liu Kang and Zhou Yuan can reach a tacit understanding, the one who will be hurt is undoubtedly the New Deal. The constitutional monarchy will be shaken, decades of planning may be changed overnight.

It's really worrying, Zhou Cang rubbed his head.If he is in Jinan, the emperor Liu Xie will definitely discuss with himself first, instead of being stubborn.In the final analysis, own power is too great!
Walking with the Privy Council, Zhou Yuan inspected the states, observed politics, and investigated people's sentiments. Jin A, the head of the Finance and Taxation Department, accompanied him, and reported to the Privy Council after returning.Zhou Cang took a pen and sent back instructions, hoping that Zhou Yuan could recognize the situation, and also be able to temporarily separate from Liu Kang, and inspect Jin'a by the way.

There are too many things to worry about.

The third matter is that Sun Qian, Shangshu of the Ministry of Culture and Education, Wang Can, Shangshu of the Honglu Department, and Cui Jun, the governor of Xuzhou, jointly signed a proposal to rebuild the Confucian Temple, build the Confucian Forest, and the Confucian Mansion.The proposal was discussed twice in the House without reaching an agreement. Dean Gan Chi hesitated whether to start a vote and asked Zhou Cang for instructions.The reason why Zhou Cang was asked for instructions was out of helplessness: the voices of the scholars were very high, but the merchants thought it was a waste of money and food. If they wanted to build it, they should build Tao Zhugong's together. If the treasury refused to pay, then Merchants would rather raise funds to compete for strengths; craftsmen are not to be outdone, is it possible to build the Gongshu Tomb together, doctors are not to be outdone, and we have the genius doctor Bian Que...

Taking Lu County caused such a big trouble, Zhou Cang was a little speechless.I am not in Jinan, and class disputes surfaced. This is not as simple as Lu County. I can imagine what I will be like in a hundred years.

After thinking for half an hour, Zhou Cang made a suggestion: First, the Executive Yuan should assist the emperor in selecting outstanding achievements since ancient times, with equal emphasis on talent and virtue.It is suggested that titles of Shenggong be conferred, such as Wenshenggong, Wushenggong, Yishenggong, etc.; [-]. The Ministry of Finance and Taxation should live within its means and decide whether to build a shrine for mourning and admiration, and publicize its deeds to inspire future generations. It should not be extravagant and treat people equally. His deeds seek truth from facts; three, all results are reviewed by the House of Representatives, impartial, and supervised by the Overwatch Council for justice; four, Ze is not to be seen by future generations, and the descendants of the Shenggong are not subject to other shadows and have no privileges.

Zhou Cang also wrote to Minister Jiang Gan of the Ministry of Education and Zhou Xin, the commander of Jinyiwei, that the selection of the Shenggong is a major national event, in case someone stirs up troubles and resumes family disputes, and those who slander, slander, collude in elections, and coerce and intimidate will be punished according to law.

It's time to find something for Liu Xie to do, presumably he will be happy to take the lead in doing this showy job, and having the emperor come forward to host it will undoubtedly minimize the conflict.

The fourth thing is about Zhou Cang himself.It's a rumor: beheading the generals, killing the enemy and seizing the five counties, and defeating Xianbei are all great achievements, Zhou Cang should be promoted to the throne.The source of the rumor cannot be traced, but it seems to be recognized by everyone, except for someone to propose it.

A group of bastards, Zhou Cang is very annoyed, he is still thinking about how to delegate power, and there are still people who want to continue to centralize power for him, it is really troublesome.Decentralization is imperative!
The deputy governor of the northern army, who wrote Qu Aling, went to Mobei to assist Lu Xun in sweeping Xianbei. When the overall situation was settled, he temporarily led the northern army commander, and Lu Xun returned to Beijing to report on his duties.Zhou Cang issued the first order, and Lu Xun's achievements were enough to share the burden for himself.

Regardless of the battle in the north, Xu Shuhe will be the first to reward the ministers who have made contributions in this battle.Strategizing and formulating strategies is the first; in times of crisis, leading the army to attack Dongping to turn the tide of the war is the second; responding randomly, adjusting the war in Hanoi and planning to go to Rencheng is the third.He was commended by the Privy Council and reported to the emperor.Zhou Cang asked Xu Shu to take over his merits. With Xun Chen, Lu Xun, and Xu Shu, the troika, he would not be so abrupt.

After issuing two orders, Zhou Cang still felt that something was insufficient.Once again, I took the pen to participate in this expedition. I did not make a good plan out of anxiety, and I made a mistake, which almost led to the defeat. Although I occupied the five counties and captured famous generals such as Cao Hong, it was far from the original goal. I am ashamed of all The efforts made by the military governor are ashamed of the soldiers who died in battle, as well as of the colleagues and people who provided support to the front line in the rear, so Zhou Cang asked the Privy Council to allow him to be punished for one year.Zhou Cang originally wanted to use the punishment to pay for the casualties. Isn't this asking for fame?So after I wrote it, I erased it.

In just two months, four major events happened, and there are countless others.It is hard to see whether there are big fish in it, but it can also make people feel that the crisis still exists.

What made Zhou Cang more gratified was that Jiangnan Dao hadn't been involved yet.Jiangnan Dao was established at the end of [-]. Zhou Xin took office in the first month of [-], and it will be three years by the end of the year. Zhou Cang wrote to Xun Chen, planning to revoke Jiangnan Dao next year, suggesting that officials in Jiangnan and Jiangbei should properly Exchange job.
