"...A bottom-up, profound and huge social revolution will come due to the large-scale application of steam engines. We either destroy the steam engines and buried them in the land now, or we can only actively deal with the arrival of this great revolution.

As a result, everyone chose to actively welcome this great revolution, so it would be simple, so we just need to face it actively.

Every reform and every social revolution will give birth to a new interest group. This industrial revolution will allow the group of merchants to grow unprecedentedly.

History has proved that as long as a group has a certain strength, they will definitely gain political status.

Historically, giving businessmen political status was not enough, or even deliberately suppressed.

It used to be an agricultural society, but in fact, Daxia has transitioned to a commercial society, and it will not work to suppress businessmen again.

When merchants gain greater strength, they will think of overthrowing our defender of the old system.

What I just said about taking the initiative to welcome a new revolution is this meaning. We must actively transition ourselves to this new class. We must become spokespersons representing the interests of the people of all classes and the spokespersons of the bourgeoisie.

When we can represent the direction of productivity development, we don’t have to worry about being overthrown.

Therefore, from now on, we must support these businessmen, let them actively participate in the construction of the country, give them status, participate in the management of the country, and welcome them with a tolerant and positive attitude.

In this way, they will regard us as their most reliable comrades-in-arms and their leaders, and we can also use their power to build this country..."

Zhang Dun read Ouyang Bian's manuscript word by word. This was something Ouyang Bian wrote a few days after introducing them to the steam engine, elaborating this possible revolution in detail, and providing ideological unity for Su Zhe Zhang Dun Lv Huiqing and other important officials of the court, so that they could have a direction in the formulation of subsequent policies.

Listening to Zhang Dun reading this, Su Che turned his head to Lu Huiqing sitting next to him and said, "Ji Fu, Ji defaults to us as giving merchants political status. What do you think?"

Lu Huiqing was thinking about it, but when Su Che asked this, he woke up a little. He thought for a while and said, "Due to the needs of governing the country over the years, I have read and read the books written by Ji Mo. It is a powerful tool for applying them to the handling of various things, especially the discussions such as "The Wealth of the Country" and "The Theory of Contradiction", which have clearly analyzed the essence of various things.

In the Theory of Wealth of Nations, Ji Mo highly praised the power of business, but Ji Mo did not completely admire business. He later wrote a book called "Das Kapital". I wonder if you have read it. In that book, Ji Mo analyzed the cruel nature of business clearly.

To summarize Ji Mo's ideological system, I can probably summarize it as Ji's default is that business or businessmen are an extremely important part of this society, but disorderly business and unlawful businessmen are the cancer of this society and will drag the entire society to collapse.

Therefore, for business or businessmen, Ji Mo's attitude is that he should not only support him, but also draw a red line in the laws and regulations so that businessmen can develop in this rule.

So, I think, on the one hand, we must comprehensively enhance the social status of merchants so that merchants can participate in the governance of the country, but on the other hand, we must also formulate laws to regulate business behavior."

Zhang Dun nodded: "I agree with Ji Fu's opinion, but there is no commercial law that comes from commercial regulations?"

Lu Huiqing smiled and said, "That's just a business regulation on businessmen, but once they are allowed to participate in the construction of the country, they need to be restricted, otherwise they will definitely use their political status to make profits for them."

Su Che thought for a while and said, "I think this way of treating differently is not good. Since you want to accept them, you have to let them participate. If you still treat differently, then they will always be afraid and conflicts will inevitably occur at that time."

Su Che, Lu Huiqing and others actually have common ideas on this issue, but the subtleties are different. If this subtlety is put into practice, it will become a debate on the route.

Su Che was quite sensitive to this, so he proposed to let Ouyang Bian participate in the discussion. He believed that Ouyang Bian's wisdom on such a theoretical line was above everyone.

Sure enough, after listening to their description, Ouyang Bian immediately proposed a method of improving political structure.

Ouyang Bian believes that to prevent a certain group from forming a coercion on the entire country, more classes must be involved in this cooperation. Therefore, workers, businessmen, farmers, scholars, and even more professionals will be involved in it to form a common decision, so that a certain group can be avoided.

Therefore, Ouyang Bian proposed to establish a political consultation system, and all social classes can negotiate on the legislation of certain laws and coordinate them in all aspects before a relatively fair law can be formed.

Ouyang Bian's proposal was quickly passed and will be implemented quickly.

However, in private, Su Che complained to Ouyang Bian: "This so-called consultation system is actually an attempt to democratic centralism that you have been planning, right?"

Ouyang Bian laughed: "You only realize that I have always felt that one surname dominates a country by one, which is a backward system, even if it is managed by a highly concentrated and intelligent civil servant system like the three provinces and six ministries, because the emperor's authority surpasses the civil servant group, so it would be just mediocre. If an emperor is born with a talented and stubborn emperor, it may be the luck of the country or the beginning of the decline of the country.

Only true group wisdom, only a political party that is self-disciplined and can be constantly renewed, can maintain a permanent and ever-new life... Well, of course, there is a limit to life, but at least it is much better than controlling a huge country with one surname. What do you think?"

Su Che sighed: "Others wish that the family will be together for generations, but you try every means to push out the identity of the emperor. If you knew this, why would you have to do this?"

Ouyang Bian smiled and said, "You are wrong. I'm trying so hard to avoid letting the family and family mess with the people of the world!"

Su Che couldn't help but laugh.
