Chapter 127 Correction Meeting (12)

Today, Ya Kingdom's rule has expanded much more than that of Long Kingdom.

Among them, in addition to Yasong City, the capital of Yaguo, there are Zishui City, Wocheng City, and Rizhao City among the more affluent places.

Rizhao City is located in the south of Ya Country, and it is actually very close to the land boundary, but in recent years there has been no movement at the land boundary, and the human race has gradually become more courageous, and they don't care too much about the existence of the land boundary.

Except for the ten kilometers around the boundary which is still a restricted area, other places are populated by human races.

I have to admit that within the borders of the human race, the environment in the south is indeed the best, with abundant sunshine, fertile land, dense vegetation, sufficient water sources, and a warm and pleasant climate. It is a good place to multiply and live.

In the past, due to the deterrent force of the land boundary, few people lived here. Later, with the replacement of the Dragon Kingdom to the Ya Kingdom, many ancient legends have been dissipated, which made the people no longer so afraid of the land boundary. Rooted around.

It was the 129th year of Yaguo's founding, and a popular arena competition was being held in Rizhao City.

This kind of competition is not a physical battle, but a contest of thought.

This is the small arena that people imitated out of admiration after the world-shocking ring match between Ge's Academy and Yinli Academy, called "Benzhenghui".

In Rizhao City, the Zhengzheng Conference is held about once a year. Famous people from all walks of life come on stage one after another to publicize their opinions to everyone, and then everyone in the audience will challenge them on the stage at will, in order to make the other party speechless and unable to refute. superior.

Most of the correction meetings each have a theme, and the theme is usually first proposed by the person who took the stage in the current period, and the subsequent discussions will generally revolve around this theme. However, if the people in the audience have newer and better views, he can ignore the subject and directly debate with the people on the stage.

Because of the prosperity of the two academies, especially the Ge Clan Academy, which has opened in many important cities across the country and has a large number of disciples, there is a strong atmosphere of studying among the human race. Even when Yaguo recruited officials, he gradually referred to his academic experience and political ability from the past only considering the other party's family background.

The convenient and small group arena of the Zhengzhenghui has blossomed all over the country.

The Rizhao City's Correction Meeting was held by Doctor Qing who was in charge of the Rizhao City, and the rewards were also given by Doctor Qing. They set up a high platform with steps in front of the platform, which can be challenged by people at any time.

The high platform is built in the style of pavilions and corridors, with seats and a space for walking and turning, which is very convenient for debaters to choose whether to sit or stand during the debate.

The high platform was surrounded by people, and the organizer even built terrace-like stands for the participants to sit down. Roughly counting, there may not be more than five hundred people watching this justice meeting.

This is indeed a bit small for Rizhao City's population of more than 400,000, but in the population structure of Yaguo, slaves actually accounted for a large proportion, accounting for about 40% of the total population. Slaves are at the bottom of society, have almost no opportunities for education, and have to work every day, so naturally they cannot have any leisure time to take care of these things.

Ordinary civilians who did not sell their bodies accounted for 56% of the remaining population, and about 4% of the remaining population, very few were wealthy people, and the rest were people of various religions and ranks.

Among them, only the citizen class, which accounts for about 20% of the total population, is the main force paying attention to the Zhengzhenghui.

Although their families are not very rich, they will have some domestic slaves and land, and their lives are carefree, so they have a desire for things other than material life. Academies, learning, political theory, and the meeting of correctness catered to their preferences.

But at this time, on the high platform of the Justice Discrimination Association, an invisible battle was going on.

A young man stood on the stage. Judging from his standing position, it was obvious that he was a challenger who came up from the stage.

His voice was extremely clear, and when he spoke, it was as if pearls and jade hit each other:

"Mr. He said that benevolence is the foundation of being a human being, and righteousness is the foundation of serving the people, but Zhu has a different view."

On the opposite side of him, a middle-aged man in his 40s was sitting in the pavilion. He had a gentle face and spoke in a leisurely manner:

"Brother Zhu Xian, please tell me."

The young man said loudly: "Since Mr. He said that benevolence and righteousness are the foundation of human beings, why are there people who are not benevolent and righteous? It is because people's hearts are broken!"

"In the simple and simple world of ancient times, everyone respected and loved each other, there was no public interest, and there was no selfishness, and there was harmony naturally. At that time, was there a need for benevolence and righteousness? No! Because people at that time could do better than benevolence and righteousness! But now, why should we talk about benevolence and righteousness? Because the world is full of evil! We no longer have benevolence and righteousness, so we need to learn benevolence and righteousness! Pay attention to benevolence, righteousness and morality!"

"What's even more ridiculous is that today's people have turned benevolence and righteousness into rules and regulations. What we should really do is to abandon benevolence and righteousness, return to ancient times, and return to simplicity!"

The person on stage was none other than 28-year-old Zhu Yao.

Zhu Yao was registered with Xiaoke, and there are videos watching him at any time, so the land boundary knows his situation very well.

Zhu Yao's family background is quite good, he is a big nobleman in the Ya country, and his father also attaches great importance to his son's education, so he was sent to the academy when he was a child.

When Zhu Yao escaped from Ge's Academy at the age of 15, he had already studied there for four years, and he was really suffocated.

He is talented and intelligent, his family background is good, and he has read a lot of books, but he is extremely rebellious and arrogant. He always thinks he is the smartest person in the world, and he doesn't think highly of others.

Most people always learn from things that have been handed down from ancient times. Zhu Yao is lucky. He has been running outside every day since he was a child. His family members don't know what he is doing or what he is thinking.

At first, Zhu's father thought he was doing something rebellious, but later he found out that he was doing all sorts of chores, such as drilling caves, climbing cliffs, hunting birds, catching bugs, swimming, and so on. Once Zhu Yao stayed on the top of the cliff for three days and three nights, only bringing some water and dry food. When he went down the mountain, he looked so haggard that his mother was frightened. When he asked him what he had done, he said that he was listening to the wind and watching the clouds. .

Another time he went under a waterfall and nearly drowned.

Zhu Yao has done all these messy things since he was a child. However, as he got older, his interests gradually changed, and his attention began to turn to more humanistic aspects, and he turned to participate in the Correctional Meetings across the country Come.

The time for holding the justice meeting is different in each city. Zhu Yao ran around like a horse on a shopping trip, and took the stage to debate every time he went to a place.

At the beginning, he was not very proficient, but later he became more and more arguing. Not only his language skills, but even his ideas became sharper in the constant struggle. Therefore, every time there is a justification meeting, there is very little that he can't win, and he has become a big celebrity in the whole Ya country.
