Five, seven, eight, the city of universities

Zhou Quan likes to respond to the sky. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

This is the capital city he has chosen, although he knows that Yingtian is not suitable for becoming a super city due to environmental constraints, but he still has the capital here for the time being.

Several satellite cities around it were built, with the industries of Xuzhou and Haizhou, the manpower around Yingtian, and the grain of Lianghuai, as long as there are no too stupid mistakes, there is no danger that the cart before the horse will appear in the future.

"Your Majesty, Di Wei is here." Behind him, the guard whispered.

"Let him come." Zhou Quan nodded.

The so-called Di Wei is here, but in fact, Di Wei people are still a few hundred meters away. He raised his head and looked at the high platform in front of him, and his heart was both amazed and emotional.

This is the future Yingtian University Town, where the tallest building in the entire Yingtian Mansion is located, and it is said that an observatory will be built here to study the changes in the trajectory of the starry sky in the sky. At this time, the observatory had not yet been built, but the overall structure had been formed, and Zhou Quan's current location was on it.

The scale of this stargazing platform is really not small, Zhou Quan does not build palaces, and he is not extravagant and flashy, but he is not stingy in investing in these. As far as Di Wei knows, since the introduction of compulsory education in the administrative areas, one of the criteria for Zhou Quan's evaluation of the performance of local officials is the number of new school buildings built, the number of students enrolled, and the proportion of school-age children enrolled in the school enrollment rate...... And so on, it's amazing.

When he walked to the top of the stargazing platform and saw Zhou Quan standing with his hands behind his back to watch the scenery, Di Wei hurriedly saluted.

"You're here, it's been hard all the way!" Zhou Quan greeted him casually, and then pointed to the construction site that was spreading out in front of him and smiled: "Look here, what do you think?" ”

"Zhao Ji used the strength of the country to build Gen Yue for one person, the king's capital is better than him, and the people are not tired, and the garden built is wider than him rather than the king's alone, this thousand years of merit, not Di can evaluate it!"

Di Wei used to be in the market, making a living by selling hexagrams to people, so he was naturally a talker. In his words, he not only praised Zhou Quan's achievements, but also faintly criticized him for not being frugal enough in his construction. He knew that Zhou Quan was open-minded and could tolerate criticism, so he dared to speak like this.

Zhou Quan really smiled: "Di Gong is sarcastically admonishing me...... Ten years of trees, a hundred years of people, I built this university city, but the foundation of China after a hundred years and a thousand years, if I can leave something to future generations, this university city, will be one of them! ”

This is indeed his masterpiece in life, this planned university city, as a satellite city of Yingtian, is enough to accommodate 300,000 people, and even now, it can allow 20,000 people to live and work here!

The speed of its construction is even faster than the speed of Yingtian New City, and some people joke in private that the station of the new imperial court has not yet been built, and the study and living places for teachers and students here have been built first.

"In three months, the railway to Yingtian New City will be completed, and then there will be a special 'city railway', and the time from Yingtian New City to the university town will be greatly shortened, and this place can really be put into use." Zhou Quan said with a smile.

At that time, that is, when the polemic proposed by Zhou Quan began.

Di Wei had no interest in polemics or anything, and the things he was in charge of had nothing to do with polemics. After accompanying Zhou Quan to look at the planned university town, Zhou Quan finally mentioned the matter: "How is the case in your hand?" ”

The case in Di Wei's hands is the case of Wen Weishen and others' rebellion.

"All aspects have been done, the human and material evidence are all there, and it must be an ironclad case." Di Wei said softly.

Zhou Quan nodded, and his eyes suddenly froze: "Well, I can trust you, you will mention all the corresponding criminals to Ying Tianlai, and then the trial will start at the same time as the polemic, and the trial will be open!" ”

Di Wei was stunned, he knew what a public trial was all about, hearing a case in a large courtroom, the prosecution and defense either chose to represent the person, or personally went into battle, debated, and then the judge sent by the three legal platforms judged whether he was guilty or not and what the punishment should be. This kind of public trial has been carried out more than once in Jeju, Liuqiu, and now the four provinces under Zhou Quan, but they are ordinary cases.

The case of Wen Weishen and others is related to the assassination of Zhou Quan and Zhou Quan's self-reliance on behalf of Song Dynasty, is such a case suitable for public trial?

"Your Majesty, whether it is unsuitable or not, it is contained in the criminal law, and matters involving state secrets can be tried in private." He had doubts in his heart, so he raised them directly to Zhou Quan.

"It's okay, it's just that a few people in the Huaxia Army are involved, and then there is the matter involving my Huaxia replacing the Song family, there is nothing to say to anyone. Taking advantage of the gathering of scholars from all over the world, let these frogs at the bottom of the well see what a judge should look like when adjudicating a case! Zhou Quan said.

Di Wei understood, and suddenly became solemn: "The sun is shining in the sky, how can you be afraid of the shadows, the king is slandered by the world, but he wants to implement the new criminal trial system in China to the world!" ”

He thought so in his heart, but he didn't say it, Zhou Quan didn't need him to pat this sycophant, what he needed more was the practical things he did.

After responding to Zhou Quan's order, he groaned slightly, and then spoke: "Your Majesty, where is Yang Shi...... He has some things that his subordinates don't know whether to undertake or not. ”

Di Wei was in charge of Wen Weishen and others' rebellion case, Yang was old and frail, and after being arrested in Bianjing City, he was under house arrest, and after Di Wei arrested Wen Weishen and others, he was escorted to Bianjing for interrogation. This process has lasted for a long time, and Yang Shi had a hunger strike at first, and then for some reason, not only did he not go on a hunger strike, but began to exercise, saying that he wanted to see the end of the Zhou thief with his own eyes.

"What's he playing?" Zhou Quan frowned, he didn't have a good impression of this old master.

Even if Cheng Men Lixue is a model of studious and respectful teachers in the future, but standing on the opposite side of himself, that is the enemy!

"He's going to borrow a book to read." Di Wei said.

"I used to write books, and now I want to borrow books?" Zhou Quan snorted.

After a short hunger strike, Yang Shi wanted to open it again for some reason, exercise, and asked Di Wei for pen, ink, paper, and inkstone. With Zhou Quan's consent, Di Wei gave him these conveniences, while keeping a close eye on what he was doing. As a result, the old gentleman wrote two books with pen, ink, paper and inkstone, all of which Di Wei seemed to understand, and it was said that the old gentleman summarized the Ercheng academics, and after writing, he handed them over to Di Wei and asked him to bring them to Zhou Quan, and at the same time asked to borrow the books of practical learning.

"This old gentleman also wants to participate in the national polemic?" After hearing the details, Zhou Quan was stunned.

Yang Shi really wanted to participate in the national polemic.

Considering his age, as well as his strength and status above academics, Zhou Quan is still quite tolerant, and the place of detention can only be said to be house arrest, which is much better than Wen Weishen, Han Yingxuan, etc., and there are even newspapers to read. It was precisely after seeing the propaganda in the newspapers about the polemic that Yang Shi changed his mind about the hunger strike.

In his opinion, the first choice is, of course, to be loyal to the Song Dynasty, but if he can't be loyal to the Song Dynasty, then it is also good to influence the new dynasty as much as possible and put Ercheng Zhixue in the position of the ruling doctrine of the new dynasty.

Zhou Quan had no interest in the Ercheng doctrine he had offered.

It's not that the Ercheng theory has no value, it's just that in Zhou Quan's view, it is useless now, and it will even be counterproductive.

"He wants to borrow the book of practical learning, I also hope that these old masters can really study and study practical learning, and those who can read the Four Books and the Five Classics are also smart people, if they are used in practical learning, they will also promote great progress in practical learning! As for the books he offered, give them back to him, and tell him to give them to his family for collection. Zhou Quan coldly rejected the meaning of Yang Shi's dedication.

Di Wei responded, seeing that there was nothing else, and was about to say goodbye, but Zhou Quan left him and said, "Don't be in a hurry to leave, there is still some time, accompany me to eat at noon." ”

Zhou Quan kept the meal, that was a very important meaning, Di Wei was ecstatic in his heart, knowing that he had done things properly and was recognized by Zhou Quan. He also has some worries about his future, after all, after the disposal of this project, what position he will put is still to be decided by Zhou Quan.

Then he saw that one after another people came to find Zhou Quan.

At this time, in the places under Zhou Quan's rule, in addition to the four provinces and one city, the local officials in the south of the Yangtze River also reported to Zhou Quan, and their affairs were busy, and it could really be said that there were many opportunities. Zhou Quan only stole a moment of leisure, and then fell into the sea of documents and had to deal with those affairs. Fortunately, the staff team around him is very effective, and in most cases, Zhou Quan only needs to choose one of the several treatment plans that have been drawn up and sign his name.

It wasn't until 12 o'clock at noon that Zhou Quan's lunch began, a very simple four dishes and one soup, but Di Wei had one more pasta than Zhou Quan. Di Wei was very emotional in his heart, he knew that this was definitely not Zhou Quan's fake in front of him, and there was no need for that at all.

Willing to spend a lot of money to build a university city, but reluctant to eat a few more dishes, if the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty can do the same, why did the Great Song Dynasty get to this point?

After eating, he said goodbye again, Zhou Quan did not keep him, and asked a secretary to send him out.

The two were saluting and saying goodbye, but they heard a noisy sound outside, Di Wei frowned, Zhou Quan is here, how can there be such a noise?

Seeing that the secretary did not care, he did not say much, but after saying goodbye, he went to the place where the noise was raised, but saw several patrolmen disperse the gathered crowd, and in front of them, seven or eight men were squatting on the ground, several of them had blue noses and swollen faces, and their clothes were torn.

"What's going on?" Di Wei was surprised, how could there be such a fight in the place where Zhou Quan was, but Zhou Quan's secretary didn't pay attention to it?

"Oh, it was Shu Xue and Luo Xue who were debating, and then the new Xue was sarcastic about both, so Shu Xue and Luo Xue fought Xinxue together...... You see, the one who was beaten the most was the new learner. A person who watched the excitement gloated and pointed.

Di Wei was stunned again, and then couldn't help but laugh in his heart.

Originally...... The debate has not yet begun, and the practical study has not yet begun, and the various factions of Confucianism themselves are fighting for the orthodox status first with words and then with fists and feet!

"There are a lot of you today, even if I Wang Lin admits it, you wait, see you under the big locust tree tomorrow!" The young man, who had been beaten and bruised and swollen, shouted.

When Di Wei heard this name, he immediately frowned.
