Chapter 813 The Chief Assistant of the Cabinet

On February 10th, the twelfth day of the first lunar month, Southwest University Hall.

Moon Lake, Falling Star Island.

There were still some barren islands back then, but after the grandfather carefully took care of them, they are already green grass and beautiful. The only thing that remains the same is the small wooden house on the island and the small bamboo forest in front of the house.

Although it is winter, Shanhai City is not cold, especially Falling Star Island is affected by geothermal heat, it is warm like spring, and the bamboo forest is green like a pity. The fresh green bamboo that Binger feeds Qiyi comes from this small bamboo forest.

Under the bamboo forest, there is a game of Go.

Ouyang Shuo sat opposite the Grand Duke, playing chess leisurely with the cool breeze.

Southwest University has long been on the right track, and its daily affairs are handled by the vice president and the deans, and Jiang Shang, the principal, does not need to worry about it.

Ouyang Shuo put down a sunspot and suddenly asked, "Would Grandfather come out of the mountain to help the orphan?"

The formation of the cabinet has been discussed in the territory. In principle, the cabinet has one chief assistant and zero to six second assistants, which can be flexibly adjusted according to specific circumstances.

The selection of elders in the pavilion will be decided by Ouyang Shuo himself.

The opinions of ministers such as Xiao He are that it is best to invite Jiang Shang out of the mountain to serve as the chief assistant of the cabinet. There are two reasons, one is that the Taigong has high morals, and the other is that he once held the position of Taishi, which can be described as having both ability and political integrity.

"Having both ability and political integrity" is also a rigid indicator for selecting elders.

Ouyang Shuo also had the same meaning, so he visited Falling Star Island again.

Jiang Shang was not surprised when he heard this, he placed a white piece, the move was much better than Ouyang Shuo, an amateur player, the white piece was about to become powerful and trap the black pieces.

"I'm old, I'm afraid I've failed your majesty's entrustment."

Ouyang Shuo also smiled, "The grandpa has a long internal breath and is full of vitality, so how can he be called an [old] character?" The biggest difference between the game and the history is that there are genuine kung fu secret books.

Although Jiang Shang's cultivation is not as superb as in "Fengshen Yanyi", he is still a Taoist, and his inner strength is as deep as Ouyang Shuo's master.

Gaia finally evolved these saint-level characters, so how could they be willing to let them be defeated by time.

The "old" of the Taigong is just a skin.

When a saint-level character transforms into a cyborg in the future, his physical fitness will be the strongest.

Jiang Shang smiled: "Your Majesty's eyes are like torches, and this old man can't refuse." But he responded in disguise, and Ouyang Shuo finally invited this holy figure out of the mountain gate after going through all kinds of hardships.

…………

[Name]: Jiang Shang (Holy Class)

[Title]: Martial Saint, Master of Hundred Schools

【Dynasty】: Western Zhou Dynasty

[Identity]: Principal of Southwest University

[Occupation]: National Warrior

[Loyalty]: 85 points

[Commander]: 88 [Force]: 75 [Intelligence]: 98 [Politics]: 100

[Specialty]: Governance (increase the administrative efficiency of the territory by 55%, increase the political index of the territory by 15%, increase the military index of the territory by 15%, and increase the popularity of the territory by 45%)

【Classics】: "Six Secret Teachings"

[Comment]: Tai Gongwang, Qi Zhi chased his husband, Chaoge abolished the butcher, Ziliang chased his ministers, Jijin's scorpion, no one is useless, King Wen used it to become king. The Taigong came to the country and repaired the government. Because of the customs, the etiquette was simplified, and the business of commerce and industry was beneficial to the fish and salt. The people returned to the Qi, and the Qi became a big country.

The attributes of the saint-level characters are really overbearing, and even the occupation is a customized version of "Guo Shi Wushuang". Jiang Shang's four-dimensional attributes are the same as Sun Wu's, and there is no shortcoming, and the [politics] item is full.

Unlike Sun Wu who came out of the mountain halfway, Jiang Shang officially became an official, and his specialties finally emerged.

[Governance] is too domineering. Out of the four items, two directly increase the territory index, and the whole one is an overall improvement.

…………

After checking the properties, Ouyang Shuo smiled heartily, and his moves became brisk.

Jiang Shang followed suit and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, you lost."

People just can't be too complacent, no, in an instant, Heizi was trapped to death, unable to move.

"Admit defeat, admit defeat." Ouyang Shuo surrendered. Looking at a corner of the chessboard, I saw a black piece surrounded by a dozen white pieces, and it seemed that there was no chance to break through, so I took the opportunity to ask: "Please ask my grandfather, if Shanhai City is this black piece, the enemy is this one." Qunbaizi, how should we break the situation?"

Ouyang Shuo thought of the encirclement and suppression of Shanhai City by the [Silver Hand].

Jiang Shang knew that Junshang must have meant something, he had already seen that Junshang was different from the previous one, he was thoughtful, and seemed to have encountered some difficult things recently.

"Your Majesty, please make it clear!" Since Jiang Shang agreed to become an official, he would not be stingy with wisdom.

Ouyang Shuo nodded, and explained the [Silver Hand] in detail.

Jiang Shang pondered for a while, and said slowly: "Your Majesty chose to side with the academy to take advantage of its power. It is right. But this is not enough. Even if you are a chess piece, you have to be a chess piece that will not be played. Chess pieces that are easily discarded by people. Once a chess player abandons a piece, the whole game will be lost. In this way, the chess piece and the chess player will be able to rely on blessings and misfortunes.”

"What does Grandpa mean?"

Jiang Shang asked: "Who is the opposite of [Silver Hand]?"

"Academic?"

"No." Jiang Shang shook his head and said, "No one can guarantee that after defeating the [Silver Hand], the academic school will not become the next [Silver Hand]. They are not only a battle of ideas, but also a battle of interests. "

"The real opposite of [Silver Hand] is hundreds of millions of ordinary aliens. Only by uniting a large number of ordinary aliens and binding their interests with the interests of Shanhai City can you remain invincible Land. By that time, even if the academics want to abandon their children, they will not be able to."

Ouyang Shuo's eyes lit up, and he said, "Like the Universal Bank?"

Jiang Shang nodded, and said: "That's right, the Four Seas Bank agrees with this idea. It's just that it's not enough. Since your majesty wants to achieve a great cause, you should show the open-mindedness that an emperor should have, and learn to accept, Control other people, not keep them out."

"I understand." Ouyang Shuo's eyes were firm.

Jiang Shang nodded with a smile on his face.

"By the way." Ouyang Shuo suddenly remembered something and asked, "Does the Grand Duke have any opinion on the matter of the country name?"

After several days of discussion, the mainstream opinion is to inherit one of the three ancient titles of "Xia, Shang and Zhou". The reason is that the national titles of the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods, too strong national titles such as Qin and Jin already belonged to them, and the rest of the national titles have insufficient background and are not worthy of being the first country to be established in the wilderness.

There are only three ancient country titles that can bear its weight, and there are still differences on which one to choose.

The Xia Dynasty is the first hereditary dynasty recorded in Chinese history books, and it is also the starting point of the concept of "country". Xia means "people of China". The theory of Huaxia originated from the Xia Dynasty.

"Xia" evolved from the place names of "You Xia Zhiju" and "Big Xia" into a tribe name, and then became a country name. Of course, up to now, the house we live in has evolved into the word "Xia", which is different from the word "Xia".

According to legend, the Xia clan, the founder of the Xia Dynasty, is a descendant of the Zhuanxu tribe, a tribe formed by the intermarriage of the Gaoyang clan of Zhuanxu, a descendant of the Yellow Emperor, and the Gonggong clan of the Yan Emperor.

Because the Xia Dynasty is the beginning, it has the meaning of creation, and it is in line with Shanhai City's position as the first country to be established in the wilderness, so the territory supports the most people who inherit the title of the country.

The Shang Dynasty was the first dynasty with written records of the same period, and it was in the heyday of slavery. There is also a Shang tripod placed in the Temple of Heaven in Shanhai City, which can be regarded as a trace of origin.

Qie, the ancestor of the merchants, helped Yu to control the waters and was entrusted to Shang, so he called his tribe "Shang", so the name of the country was chosen as "Shang".

Qi is the son of Emperor Ku, the great-grandson of the Yellow Emperor, and one of the Five Emperors, so the Shang clan is also the descendant of the Yellow Emperor. It's just that the Shang Dynasty was located in the middle of the three ancient dynasties, and it was neither up nor down, so there were very few supporters.

The Zhou Dynasty was the last hereditary slave dynasty, and it was also the place where the Hundred Schools of Thought originated, and the relationship with Shanhai City was even deeper, so many people supported this country name.

If Shanhai City inherits the title of the country, a group of talents will immediately join it.

The Yellow Emperor lived in Jishui, took Ji as his surname, and Zhou people inherited his surname.

The Zhou people were forced to leave their hometown due to the invasion and persecution of Xun Yujun. After going through hardships, they crossed the Qi, Ju and Liangshan Mountains, and moved to Zhouyuan, south of Qishan Mountain in the Weihe River Basin, and thus the concept of "Zhou" came into being.

The word "Zhou" was originally written as: Shangtian Xiakou, combining upper and lower, and later evolved into Zhou.

It’s just that the Zhou Dynasty was actually the Western Zhou Dynasty and the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period when the Theory of Hundred Schools was born, the Zhou Dynasty’s sense of existence became weaker and weaker. This alone is not enough to make a final decision.

The three ancient dynasties are all descendants of Yan and Huang, and they can all represent orthodoxy.

Even Ouyang Shuo is currently hesitating between "Xia" and "Zhou".

Jiang Shang's expression suddenly became a bit complicated, and he said after a long time: "This old man once helped Zhou destroy Shang, and he was deeply involved in it. In order to avoid suspicion, it's better not to participate. How to choose, you need to make a decision."

Ouyang Shuo nodded, seeming to understand what Jiang Shang meant. Ouyang Shuo suddenly thought that during the Battle of Muye, King Wu of Zhou died indirectly at his hands.

Thinking of this, Ouyang Shuo felt a little creepy.

Ouyang Shuo shook off the thoughts in his mind, and asked the last question, "The Grand Duke is going to serve in the cabinet, do you have any recommendation from the school?"

Southwest University Hall is also one of the foundations of the territory, and it is also a place where hundreds of families gather. When Jiang Shang is gone, Ouyang Shuo can't just find someone to replace him, otherwise there will be trouble.

Jiang Shang had long been interested in the candidate, and said, "Confucius can do it."

Ouyang Shuo was very surprised and said, "Master Confucius is willing to come out of the mountain?" If Confucius succeeded Jiang Shang as the principal of Southwest University, there would be no problem at all.

It's just that Confucius was obsessed with reshaping Confucianism, so I'm afraid it's not so easy to please.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, I will invite you personally."

Ouyang Shuo just smiled, "That would be great."

With Jiang Shang, half of Confucius' teacher, coming forward, there should be no major problems.

This can be regarded as one of Ouyang Shuo's worries.

Seeing that it was getting late, Ouyang Shuo got up to say goodbye and said, "Tomorrow, I will be alone in the Duhu Mansion to wait for the Grand Duke." But he wanted to discuss with Jiang Shang, Xiao He and others about the structure of the future dynasty.

Jiang Shang nodded and got up to see off the guests.
