Go to ancient times and engage in construction

"My lord, can a country be prosperous with just one sentence?" Yang He asked, standing up from his seat.

This is a school of the North College, where celebrities and students communicate. All students of the North College, as long as they are interested, can participate.Now North College implements a weekly system, with seven days as a round, one to six are study days, and the seventh day is a rest day for students.And every night from Monday to Saturday, celebrities come to exchange ideas with the students. As for who will come, an announcement will only be posted in the afternoon of that day.Zheng Yuming and Chu Chaohui will come two or three times a month.

"According to the logic, it is impossible to make a country prosperous with just one word." Zheng Yuming sat kneeling in the center of the school, surrounded by students sitting on the ground. At the four corners of the school, stood Zheng Yuming's personal guards, while Daniel knelt and sat tightly. Zheng Yuming protects behind him.

The classrooms of North College have used modern desks and chairs, and the tutors have also used blackboards and chalk for teaching.However, in the school where celebrities and students have face-to-face academic exchanges, the etiquette of Daqin is still adopted, and the speech method of later generations is not adopted.

Zheng Yuming moved his already numb legs, he was really not used to this kneeling posture. "However, governing the country depends solely on the decision of the king. If the king thinks wrongly, or does not listen to the correct opinions of his subjects, then it is very likely that one word will prosper the country and one word will ruin the country."

"Is there any way to deal with it?" Wei Zhong stood up and bowed for advice.

"This requires a kind of restraint. The overall situation cannot be determined by one person's preferences. For example, our king never decides on major issues without authorization. Wu Guo's court discussions have always been approved by the majority of the court officials before passing resolutions. In this way, It can avoid wrong decisions to the greatest extent." When Zheng Yuming said this, his face was not red at all. In today's Wangting, Wu Wangsheng is just a decoration, and most of the ministers in the Wangting are led by Zheng Yuming and Chu Chaohui. The decree, of course, is passed with the approval of an absolute majority.

"But where is the authority of the king to do this?" Fu Chou stood up suddenly, his face flushed.

Fu Chou's voice was sharp and questioning, and the students in the school looked at him in surprise. Yang He, who was kneeling beside Fu Chou, reached out and pulled Fu Chou's clothes, feeling that Fu Chou's questioning was too much faux pas.

"The king's authority lies in the hearts of the people." Zheng Yuming still smiled, his expression unchanged, and he pointed to his heart. "The king does not govern the country according to his own preferences, tolerates opposing opinions, suppresses his supreme power, and chooses a policy of governing the country that is beneficial to the country, so that the people live and work in peace and prosperity, and the country is prosperous and strong. How can the people disrespect and love such a king?"

Having said this, Zheng Yuming stood up, and his words became impassioned: "If a monarch only cares about his majesty, so that no one dares to disobey his own words, the country will be close to destruction over time. From ancient times to the present, Xia Jie, Shang Zhou, Zhou Wang Isn't that the kind of king? Before the country was destroyed, they wanted to kill all the voices of opposition in the world, but the result was just the opposite, ruining their own country."

As soon as Zheng Yuming finished speaking, the students made a 'buzzing' sound, and there were many who nodded in agreement.

"At the beginning of each dynasty, the founding king and the princes who founded the country were always wise and capable of containing mountains, rivers and seas. However, after several generations of kings, there were fewer such wise kings. This situation occurred only because of inheriting the throne. The talents of kings vary from good to bad. As long as there are stupid kings like Xia Jie, Shang Zhou, and Zhou Wang, the people of the world will be in dire straits, and people of insight will rise up to resist. If you don’t want such a situation to happen, you must avoid the stupid king. If there is, or even if there is such a headstrong king, the country can still be safe and sound, which requires a system to restrict the emergence of this situation, that is, to implement the court voting system."

"My lord, who can guarantee that the minister's opinion is correct?" Fu Chou's face became more and more red, and his attitude became more and more resolute.

"Yes, even if the king and ministers overwhelmingly agree with one opinion, there is no guarantee that the resolution passed is completely correct. This requires the supervision of the people, which will affect the interests of the people, and the people will inevitably voice a lot of opposition. At this time, Kings and ministers need to listen to opinions from all sides. It is actually very difficult to be a king and ministers to govern a country. Because of the difficulties, it is necessary to work hard to govern, listen to opinions, and understand the national conditions and people's livelihood. And you will be the pillars of the country in the future , You must be full of economics, and you will participate in the government in the future, so that the national policy will make the least mistakes."

Zheng Yuming's high hopes for the students made the students' hearts boil with enthusiasm. When Zheng Yuming's speech ended, there was a burst of applause in the school. This kind of applause can only be seen in the North-South College of Wu State. Applause represents respect, affirmation and encouragement.

Under the boulevard outside the school, Chu Chaohui stood there quietly with a dozen guards. Every time Zheng Yuming went to the North College to give a speech, unless Chu Zhaohui went to the military camp outside the city to train soldiers and couldn't rush back to Cannes, he would have to wait outside the school .

"General, every time the young master comes to the academy to give a speech, the students are all cheered up." Hearing the warm applause in the academy, Fan Jin's face was full of smiles.When Zheng Yuming came to North College to give a lecture, for the sake of safety, he always brought a bunch of guards with him. In addition to the guards protecting around the school, Fan Jin also personally led the guards of the school security department to patrol around the school, making sure that Zheng Yuming was in a very safe situation.

Hearing Fan Jin's words, Chu Chaohui's mouth twitched: "He's just cultivating obstacles for himself, this idiot."

"Cultivate obstacles for yourself?" Fan Jin was stunned.

Chu Chaohui smiled and said nothing. He and Zheng Yuming now have the absolute right to speak in the Wu royal court, and Zheng Yuming is encouraging the students to question this authority. , must argue with reason and express different opinions.

Seeing this, Fan Jin decided to wait and find a reliable student to ask what Zheng Yuming's speech was about tonight.

Surrounded by Daniel and the guards, Zheng Yuming stepped out of the school, raised his eyes and caught a glimpse of Chu Chaohui under the shade of the tree, the corners of his mouth involuntarily turned up slightly.

"Zhaohui." Zheng Yuming approached Chu Chaohui, and naturally put his hand in Chu Chaohui's. The two held hands and walked side by side on the path. Daniel and the guard tacitly separated two steps away from them.

"It's really a couple of gods and gods. What can I ask for in my life if I have this couple!" Yang He watched the two leave with envy on his face.

"Hmph, men and women are accompanied, there are admonitions in "Shang Shu Yi Xun", this is a chaotic wind!" Fu Chou beside Yang He said coldly.

"Brother Fu!" Yang He frowned slightly. This roommate was respectful to the other tutors, but when Zheng Yuming or Chu Chaohui came to give lectures or speeches at North College, the questions were always irritating.

"Is it wrong in the book? When men get along with each other, they can't have children. They are ashamed of their ancestors. It should be forbidden." Fu Chou raised his head. In fact, he had no objection to the relationship between men and men in his heart. He just saw Chu Chaohui and Zheng Yuming. I couldn't suppress the disgust in my heart.

"People have their own temperaments, and trees have their own branches and leaves. It's the nature of lust. Where is the wind?" Yang He's face also sank. This is the first time that the roommates who get along well have become stiff.

Zheng Yuming and Chu Chaohui held hands and whispered side by side. Suddenly, Chu Zhaohui turned around and asked, "Fan Jin, what's the matter today?"

Zheng Yuming turned his head and found that Fan Jin followed closely behind the two of them and did not leave, obviously he had something to report.

"My lords, please ask each other if you have something to do." Fan Jin lowered his head, looking a little embarrassed.

"Fan Jin, if you have anything, just tell me." Zheng Yuming had always valued Fan Jin very much, and Fan Jin's loyalty to him and Chu Chaohui was as unquestionable as Ma Ren's.

"Every Saturday night, when it is Jin's turn to communicate with the students, the number of people is the rarest. Jin feels that the content of the speech is very rich, but he just doesn't attract students to value it." Fan Jin groaned, and finally poured out the depression in his heart .

Zheng Yuming was taken aback for a moment, but he immediately understood the reason why Fan Jin was treated coldly by his students. One was Fan Jin's background, and the other was Fan Jin's lack of prestige.Zheng Yuming is busy with work, and it is not easy to spend two or three days a month at the college to communicate with the students face to face. He has never been there to listen to Fan Jin's speech, so he does not know that Fan Jin was neglected by the students in the college. Fan Jin should It was because he couldn't bear the pressure that he was under, so he went to the two of them for help.

"You follow me to the Prime Minister's Office, and we will discuss this issue in detail." Zheng Yuming felt that it was difficult to talk about this matter halfway. Fan Jin's matter is not a trivial matter. Many of the opinions that Fan Jin wants to publicize are inconvenient for Zheng Yuming and Chu Chaohui To a certain extent, Fan Jin is the microphone of Zheng Yuming and Chu Chaohui, and the cold reception of the microphone is equal to the cold reception of the opinions that the two want to express to the world.

"Here!" Fan Jin agreed with his head bowed, his heart fell to the ground, as if he had found support all at once.

Chu Zhaohui sighed slightly, tonight, he had to give up his romantic time again.

"Fan Jin, you don't want to give speeches at night." Zheng Yuming returned to the Prime Minister's Office and sat down, just saying that.

"Aren't you going to give a speech?" Fan Jin's eyes were wide open.

"Yes, you can concentrate on making newspapers in the future."

"Newspaper?" Fan Jin's eyes widened.

"Yes, in newspapers, you can also express your own opinions." Zheng Yuming has long wanted to start a newspaper in his heart, and use newspapers to influence people's thinking.

"My lord, what is a newspaper?" Fan Jin asked in a low voice, this was another new thing he didn't understand.

"This is an important carrier of mass communication, which has the function of reflecting and guiding public opinion." Chu Chaohui laughed beside him. Newspapers are the heavy weapons of mass communication. There is simply no way to compete.

With movable type printing and the manufacture of cheap paper, newspapers have the conditions to appear. Newspapers can be used as "social public instruments" to play the role of public opinion supervision, advocating people to have an open, just, and fair ideology, and can use newspapers to educate people. Bai's democratic consciousness ideological enlightenment.

Fan Jin stayed in the Prime Minister's Mansion until the rooster in Cannes crowed, and then came out crookedly. His footsteps were unsteady, but his heart was beating violently, as if a fire was burning in his chest.
