Chapter 265: Newspapers

Xu Lang had no choice but to sit down with Cheng Yiyi at the door of the delivery room. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Xu Lang." Cheng Yiyi suddenly looked very aggrieved, "I really don't want to have a child, it hurts too much." ”

"Hehehehe." Xu Lang held Cheng Yiyi's hand and smiled, "How can it not hurt to give birth to a child." But it only hurts for a while, and it's fine after giving birth. If you think about it, isn't it a great thing that a cute little life is born out of your body? ”

"Great, why don't you give birth?" Cheng Yi leaned on Xu Lang's shoulder, "You men are really not things, the comfortable things are yours, and the painful things are our women's." ”

"Hehe, it's no wonder that we men are to blame for this, but only God can be blamed." Xu Lang reached out and hugged Cheng Yiyi's shoulder, "Yiyi, do you remember the first time you leaned on my shoulder?" ”

"Of course I do." Cheng Yi snuggled in Xu Lang's arms, "I was still crying at that time." ”

"yes, it's been five years in the blink of an eye." Xu Lang said with feeling, "Now you can rely on me openly." ”

"Xu Lang." Cheng Yiyi straightened up from Xu Lang's arms, "You tell me honestly, did you have any thoughts at that time?" ”

"The conscience of heaven and earth." Xu Lang said with a smile, "At that time, it was the middle of the night, and it was a wilderness, what can I think?" ”

"I don't believe it." Cheng Yiyi pouted.

"Yiyi." Xu Lang couldn't help but kiss Cheng Yiyi on the forehead, "If I say that I have an idea, are you very happy?" ”

"I'll kick you to death if you have an idea."

The two were flirting, and a baby's cry came from the delivery room, and the two stood up at the same time: "It's born." ”

Bihe ran out of the delivery room: "Mr. Xu, the eldest grandmother, the second grandmother gave birth, and it is a boy." ”

"I'm a dad." Xu Lang picked up Cheng Yiyi, "I'm a father, I have a son." ”

"Put me down." Cheng Yiyi shouted, "It's not me who gave birth to a son, why are you holding me?" ”

Xu Lang put Cheng Yiyi down, and grabbed a Ming Dynasty man next to him who he didn't know: "I'm a father, I have a son." ”

"Congratulations, Master Xu." That Ming Dynasty man knew Xu Lang.

"Rejoice, rejoice." Xu Lang couldn't close his mouth with a smile.

In the private room of Yulin Bay Hotel, Shi Xianyang, Liu Guannan and others were having a drink with Xu Lang.

"Finally a father." Liu Guannan raised his glass, "Let's celebrate first." ”

"Guannan." Sun Tianhao asked, "When will you become a father?" ”

"I don't know about this, it should be soon." Liu Guannan smiled, "Go home and continue to work hard." ”

"Xianyang, when are you going to get married?" Sun Tianhao asked again.

"It should be soon." Shi Xianyang replied, "I've already found someone to propose." ”

"Hsien Yang, do you really want to join the church?" Xu Lang has not had time to ask Shi Xianyang this question since he came back.

"Yes." Shi Xianyang put down his glass and said, "Only religion can give people peace of mind, and only religion is a person's final destination." ”

Sun Tianhao was a little puzzled: "Isn't the final destination death, how did it become a religion?" ”

"Tianhao." Shi Xianyang said, "Death is the ultimate destination of any life, but it is not the destination of the spirit. Since ancient Greece, human beings have been searching for the value and meaning of life, but until our time, this question is still unanswered. ”

"There is no answer to this question." Liu Guannan interjected.

"No, there should be an answer." Shi Xianyang disagrees with Liu Guannan's statement, "Religion is a basic education in the philosophy of life. Providing the most basic spiritual food for human beings and revealing the true meaning of life is the last support for the spiritual world of human beings. Divide the minimum moral bottom line of human beings and indicate the realm of the highest ideological sentiments of human beings. Only religion can analyze the essence of human beings most objectively, correctly explain the ins and outs of human beings, explain the meaning of life from the perspective of people's thirst for life, let people fully understand themselves, help people calmly face the good times and adversities in life, discover the joy of life, and enjoy the true happiness of life. ”

Sun Tianhao still didn't understand much: "Xianyang, what you said is too profound." ”

"It's not profound at all." Xu Lang said with a smile, "People should have some faith, of course, it doesn't matter what religion they believe. But if a person doesn't have any beliefs, doesn't believe in heaven, doesn't believe in regions, doesn't believe in retribution, then it means that this person dares to do anything, especially any bad thing. ”

"Xu Lang, what you said is a bit absolute." Liu Guannan said, "There are a lot of non-believers, can they all do bad things?" ”

"Guannan, you misunderstood what I meant." Xu Lang explained, "I'm not saying that you have to believe in religion, but you have to believe in something. To take the simplest example, if you tell you that a person can't do bad things, and if you do bad things, you will go to hell and you will be punished. He told you that you are talking nonsense, there is no region in the world, there is no retribution, then you say that there is something else that he would not dare to do. If a person does not have a little reverence, then he can do anything, especially if he still carries the most noble banner. ”

"Forget it, let's not talk about it." Shi Xianyang stopped this topic, "Let's be together today, first, to celebrate Xu Lang's father, and second, I have something I want to discuss with you." ”

"What else is going on with you?" Xu Lang asked, "Marriage?" ”

"It's not." Shi Xianyang raised his glass, "I want to find someone to run a newspaper in Yulin Bay." ”

"Running a newspaper?" Shi Xianyang's words stunned several people, "How do you have this idea, what kind of newspaper do you want to run?" ”

"Brothers, there are no outsiders here, and I won't hide it from everyone." Shi Xianyang lowered his glass again, "Although the proposal for institutional reform that I submitted to the Crossing Conference was barely passed, it was actually not my original intention. ”

"And what was your original intention?" Several people asked at the same time.

"My previous talk about the establishment of the Constitutional Court has been vetoed by the General Assembly, and now the General Assembly is becoming more and more powerful. This time, regarding the property issue of Tao Min and Tao Gong, I originally wanted to initiate an unconstitutional review mechanism, but now it has been rejected again. ”

"But that's fine." Liu Guannan interrupted Shi Xianyang's words, "The mechanism of the Crossing Conference was determined by us from the moment we landed, and there has basically not been any major difference until now. Isn't it true that the supreme power belongs to the Crossing Assembly? ”

"The supreme power belongs to the General Assembly, which in itself is not right." Xu Lang suddenly answered Liu Guannan's question, "I understand what Xianyang means." ”

"Do you see what he means?" Liu Guannan and Sun Tianhao didn't understand, "What do you two want to say?" ”

"Guannan, I don't really want to mention the sad past." Xu Lang looked at Liu Guannan's severed arm, "The Goryeo operation was proposed by me and agreed by the Crossing Conference, so no one was held accountable for the failure of this operation. But who bears the losses? It was actually wrong to rashly attack Liaodong when Kong Youde surrendered to the Qing Dynasty and Lushun fell. The system of crossing the General Assembly may have worked best in the beginning, but now we are slowly moving towards a model of a state and society, where the supreme power belongs to any one ministry and there is a high risk of making mistakes in decision-making, even if the decision is the opinion of all, because unchecked power is often abused. ”

"It's not just a question of whether there are constraints." Shi Xianyang glanced at Xu Lang appreciatively, and then said, "The disadvantages of this system are like the ancient Athenian method of banishment of pottery shards, and the judgments made according to this system depend to a considerable extent on the emotions of the members of the General Assembly, and the emotions of the members often fluctuate due to various factors, and their judgments may not be well thought-out. You can think about how many of the more than 300 members really know about the Goryeo operation, and how many of them really know the contrast between the forces of the Yulin Army and the Eight Banners. ”

"So you're proposing to strengthen the powers of the committee?" Sun Tianhao asked.

"Yes." Shi Xianyang replied, "My original intention was to use the committee to restrain the Crossing Conference. We are not yet in a position to fully implement the separation of powers, and I may not agree with you, but I think the Committee's resolution may be more reasonable. ”

"If that's the case." Liu Guannan said, "Isn't that a meritocracy, where everything is decided by the nine committee members, or even the chairman alone." ”

"There's one more question." Xu Lang asked again, "It has been suggested that the system of crossing the General Assembly is inefficient, and our next step is to focus on the military aspect." Besides, we have already passed the 15th Amendment, and if the power of the Crossing Assembly is restricted, will there be any contradiction between the Committee and the Crossing Assembly in the future, and then it will really become a prevarication. ”

"Any system has its advantages and disadvantages, and there is no way to do this." Shi Xianyang raised his glass, "Let's drink one first, anyway, now that the crossing conference has been held and the 15th Amendment has been introduced, it won't change anything in at least a year or two." I'll just talk to a few of you, let's talk about it, that's it. ”

Everyone drank a glass of wine, Xu Lang put down the wine glass and asked, "Then let's talk about the newspaper you want to run, I'm still more interested in this, what do you want to do?" ”

"Don't say it, I really need your help with this." Shi Xianyang replied, "My idea is to find a few people in Yulin Bay, preferably both of us and the Ming Dynasty." The content of the newspaper is mainly to talk about the policy of Yulin Bay, the current situation of the Ming Dynasty, and then there can be some scientific and technological things. ”

"Xianyang, is anyone reading the newspaper now?" Sun Tianhao asked hesitantly, "Do you know how much literacy rate there was in the Ming Dynasty?" I'm afraid most people can't read, right? ”

"That's fine, I've thought about it." Shi Xianyang replied, "We can get more comic things, with pictures and texts." There are a lot of people in our own who used to do computer animation, and they may be interested. Also, our Yulin Bay has now popularized voluntary trading, although some people have only been in school for a year or two, but they also know a few words. We can also discuss with Aunt He, treat this as a homework in the school, and each child should read the newspaper to their parents when they go home. ”

"I have two questions." Liu Guannan asked, "First, whether this newspaper is government-run or private-run is needed for us to control it ourselves; Second, how to solve the problem of paper and printing, the Ming Dynasty is still engraving printing, if you have a set of editions a day, it is impossible at all. ”

"Here's what I think." Shi Xianyang replied, "It is best for this newspaper to be government-run at the beginning, and we still have to pay attention to the issue of public opinion orientation. As for some people who want to start a private newspaper in the future, I think it's okay, because only with competition can there be motivation. As for your second question, I would like to apply for funding from the committee first, we don't have to publish one every day, just one for ten days and half a month, and there is not much news in Yulin Bay. ”

"You should apply to the committee for this first." Xu Lang raised his glass again, "If the committee approves it, I'll help you ask Lin Chao and Lu Xing to see if they are willing to be part-time editors." ”

"Okay, you take this matter to heart." Shi Xianyang raised his glass and touched Xu Lang, "But I have to say it in advance, and when the time comes, don't advertise anything in the newspaper to make me trouble." ”

"Hehehehe." Xu Lang raised his neck and drank, "That's not good, drink, drink." (To be continued.) )
