It was almost dusk on Youzhou Street, and it was still crowded and very lively.

The curfew in Youzhou has been postponed for an hour. Unlike in the past, before the sun sets, the people must hurry home. Therefore, when the lights of thousands of families are on the street, the pedestrians on the street still rush home slowly.

Therefore, there are more and more restaurants serving food in various Youzhou restaurants. In Youzhou, scholars usually eat three meals, while ordinary people only eat two meals. At that time, people called it "food late". At present, the Taiping year of Youzhou is in the Taiping year, and the price of grain has dropped after the autumn harvest. After the private sector, the price of wine has dropped a lot compared to the official market. The scholars are also willing to go out to eat, drink, and socialize friends.

The Zhaoxian Building, located near the Junxue School, is still doing well. The waiter in the store held several dishes in one hand, walking up and down the stairs as fast as a flower, and the fragrant dishes were served on the guests' dining table one by one. There were also singing songs in the building. The soft singing came into everyone's ears, making the people who had been running around for a day relaxed and immersed in the singing.

It was a chaotic time, and even if Youzhou had not encountered war for several years, the people's life was not easy. Although there were all upper-class people in Youzhou in and out of the Qiying Building, there were only three or four plates of side dishes and a pot of turbid wine on the table, and there was no luxury.

There is a private room on the second floor of Zhaoxian Building.

Ji Chuan, Liu Yi and Zhou Xu sat at a table together. This was a joint meal that was increasingly prosperous outside the Great Wall. It changed the traditional Chinese banquet system, and everyone sat on Hu's bed and gathered around a table to eat.

After the chef brought the warm wine, Ji Chuan let Zhi step down. A plate of pigs covered with garlic was poured into the water on the table. Half a stuffed goose, a plate of cold dishes, and a small pot of cooked cakes, which was the meal for the three of them.

Ji Chuan was in the conference hall today. He said that he had a dry mouth and tongue. Before the wine was cold, he brought him a few drinks. Liu Yi picked up a chopstick and smiled and said, "Brother Ji, today's conference is shining. Could it be that he wants to congratulate each other with wine?"

Ji Chuan looked at Liu Yi in anger and said, "What is it like to congratulate each other with wine? It's almost the same to relieve your sorrows by drinking."

Zhou Xu and Liu Yi looked at each other and couldn't help but smile. In the conference hall today, the officials were arguing about the matter of establishing a country. Finally, Li Chongjiu announced the recess, which calmed down everyone's discussion.

Ji Chuan raised his glass and said, "Before the country has been established, the officials will argue with each other. Once the country is really established, how will it be inverted in the court?"

Zhou Xu said, "A gentleman is the same but not harmonious, villains are the same but different. King Zhao can humbly accept advice and open up a wide range of opinions. It is rare. The monarch is usually like the governor of Wei County and Brother Ji, who is like a minister of advice. How can he be solemn? Xue Daoheng's poems were famous all over the world, but he accidentally caused Yang Xiu's disaster and was killed by the emperor. Do you still remember?"

"So sometimes I advise Brother Ji, you should be more cautious."

Ji Chuan didn't care and continued to drink and said, "So what? Wei Zheng can get it, but I can't get it."

Zhou Xuyan said: "Wei Zheng is doing things impartially and is rumored when he sees unfairness, but Brother Ji, you are fighting for your own will. Where is the same?"

Liu Yi joked, "Brother Ji, all of us came from Huaihuang Town, but now you are soaring and leaving me and Brother Zhou far behind. Today is hard-won, so you have to cherish it."

Ji Chuan raised his eyebrows and said, "Maybe I have been talking to you today in the Political Affairs Hall, and I will talk to you again."

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, Zhou Xu raised his glass and said, "The two are now officials, and they have great identities. They are no longer as good as when they are in Huaihuang Town. If they are arguing in a restaurant, how can this be more concise?"

"Forget it, give Brother Zhou a face."

Seeing that Ji Chuan was reluctant to give in, Zhou Xu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I remember when the Turks robbed Yanmen and our family was in trouble. When we went to Huaihuang Town to guard the border, I thought I could eat a bite of food. I had no other request in this life. I didn't expect that there would be a drink of this cup today, and I came to us to drink this cup together."

Liu Yi raised his glass and said, "Isn't it that I am the same? At that time, I was a merchant and I was able to be the magnificent county today and be above the temple. It is really touching to think that I am like a dream of yellow mills."

When Ji Chuan heard the two of them being sad, a scene of the two people's business in Huaihuang Town appeared before his eyes. He raised his glass and said, "How can you drink without a poem at this moment? Listen to me, drink wine and be content with you, and the human relationship is overturned like a turbulent wave. The old prime minister still presses his sword when he knows it, and the rich people laugh at him."

Liu Yi was unhappy and said, "Brother Ji, today is our happy day. Why do we say this?"

Ji Chuan smiled and said, "How can human relationships last? The three of us have different backgrounds and circumstances. We can still drink today. I am really glad that we still have wine today and we are drunk today."

After saying that, the three of them clinked glasses and ate vegetables together. The topic turned to officialdom promotion and the establishment of the country. As they were talking, the voices were noisy under the restaurant.

A group of county scholars were strode upstairs with laughter and laughter. The stairs were stomping and laughing sounded from afar. It was the scholar's spirit, and he was waving his pride.

Zhou Xu looked at the Qingjin scholar outside the screen and couldn't help but remember when he was young, and he didn't dare to sigh that time had passed.

Ji Chuan looked at the scholar downstairs and said, "After the founding of the country, King Zhao intends to set up the Imperial College, and Brother Zhou is expected to serve as the sacrificial priest."

Zhou Xu was stunned when he heard this and said, "Imperial College Priest's tribute to wine?"

Liu Yi smiled and said, "If the news is true, then the students in the future will be your disciples. I will congratulate you first."

After hearing this, Zhou Xu couldn't speak for a long time. Liu Yi and Ji Chuan knew that he couldn't react for a moment and became foolish. When he was in Huaihuang Town, Zhou Xu had the habit of stuttering. Now he is a role model and does not stutter, but he still can't change the habit of being a crime in big trouble.

Seeing Zhou Xu silent, Liu Yi looked at Ji Chuan and asked, "Brother Ji is well-informed in the governor's mansion. I wonder if I am expected to be promoted this year?"

After hearing this, Ji Chuan refused to speak, and Liu Yi pretended to be angry and said, "Brother Ji, based on your friendship, you can see a little bit of the wind, so what if you see it? You also know that even if I don't move right in Anle County, I will be good if I enter the center or any small official."

Ji Chuan smiled and said, "Okay, I'm afraid you will disappoint. This time you don't even have to stay in Anping County. Do you want to go further?"

After hearing this, Liu Yi stopped the chopsticks in his hand, and stopped eating.

Zhou Xu couldn't bear to say, "Brother Ji, why do you have to swear your appetite?"

Liu Yi said angrily: "It's better not to say it."

Ji Chuan finally said that Liu Yi's words were shaking his aura, and he said immediately: "The King of Zhao intends to govern Huaihuang and Yuyi Towns, and set up the Ruoshuizhou Protectorate in the north of the Frontier. Brother Liu, you have dealt with many foreign people in Huaihuang Town, so this time, the King of Zhao personally ordered your generals to be entrusted to the utmost."

Liu Yi was confused and said in confusion: "King of Zhao, the Five Army of the Army has set up a system to control the grassland foreign army, so what is the purpose of this Protectorate?"

Zhou Xuyan said, "Brother Liu, you don't understand this. You know, the Han Dynasty set up a Western Region Protectorate in the Western Regions to control the 55 countries in the Western Regions and Ban Dingyuan."

Liu Yi nodded and said, "Who can't know about Ban Dingyuan? A scholar who joined the army and was granted the title of marquis for thousands of miles."

Ji Chuan said, "But the Western Regions Protectorate is different. In addition to the grassland tribes that control the Qin River on both sides of the Wuhou, Qin River, there are also the Khitan and Goguryeo station troops, as well as the Han army in Huaihuang Town and Yuyi Town."

"You should know that at present, the number of households in Huaihuang and Yuyi towns has reached 20,000, and the Han people in Ruoshui Prefecture are closer to 30,000 households, which is equivalent to the number of households in a central county. Not to mention tens of thousands of Goguryeo, Khitan troops stationed, and more than tens of thousands of tents of grassland aristocratic tribes. Therefore, Ruoshui Prefecture cannot be regarded as an extra place, and it is already a situation where the foreign and Han people live together."

Liu Yi said, "I understand. This weak water prefecture's Protectorate not only needs to control the foreign people, but also needs to govern the Han army, so that the foreign and Han people can live in harmony."

Ji Chuan nodded and said, "That's true, this is the intention. King Zhao is really far-sighted. If he cannot coordinate the Fan Han Dynasty, once more Han people enter Ruoshuizhou, conflicts will occur between Fan Han Dynasty and Han Dynasty, and it will be difficult to manage at that time."

Zhou Xu pressed the table and said seriously: "I can't believe that the great and powerful strategy in King Zhao's heart is a blessing in my life to drive under his command and create a prosperous era. I really want to look forward to it. I don't know what kind of dynasty will be standing on Youzhou in the future."

Ji Chuan nodded and said, "What we said is, so although we have worked hard these days, everything we discussed is for the new dynasty to be comparable to the system of the three generations, so that future generations can get through once and for all."

"The system of three generations!" Zhou Xu couldn't help but be fascinated by hearing this.

The three dynasties are the dream of every Confucian scholar. As we all know, Confucius respected Zhou and took it as his responsibility to restore Zhou rituals throughout his life. The Confucian scholars later believed that after the three dynasties, even the Han and Jin dynasties were in chaos and no governance, and the two dynasties in the north and south, the Great Sui Dynasty could not be compared.

Therefore, Confucian scholars even said that they would be called the Three Dynasties. Compared with the current system, Zhou Xu heard Ji Chuan say this, and his heart was filled with a raging fire and infinite longing.

Ji Chuan was a little more sober. He believed that some of the three generations could no longer be used for the present, but no matter how many generations, the three generations were still the most ideal. As a merchant, Liu Yi, of course, could not understand why the two thought so.

Zhou Xu suddenly said, "Confucius respects Zhou, Mozi respects Xia, and Laozi respects three generations. If King Zhao established a system for all generations, what should the three generations be the basis?"

When Ji Chuan heard this, he said with a frown: "I can't know this? Now King Zhao is discussing this matter with Chief Wen, Wei County Governor and others?"

"Now?" Zhou Xu was surprised.

Ji Chuan nodded.

At this moment, in the Youzhou Governor's Mansion, Wen Yanbo, Chen Xiaoyi, Wei Zheng, Wang Gui, Lu Chengqing and others were standing in front of the Li Chongjiu case.

Wen Yanbo said, "I have reported to King Zhao, and I heard that the country is about to be established. This is a letter of ten thousand words jointly presented by more than a dozen fellow villagers in Youzhou. It says that the rule of the three generations and the foundation for the construction of the eternal age..."
