Chapter 1267: The Opposition of the Theorist Luo Zenan
Regarding Luo Zenan's question, Feng Yunshan is really difficult to answer. Because he knows that this kind of system such as parliamentary elections, in fact, is really realized in the Western world, and in history, in the land of China, this system was also briefly tried, but it was soon interrupted, and finally replaced by the dictatorship caused by two bald heads, and later, Feng Yunshan did not dare to think about it.
Therefore, Feng Yunshan could only answer perfunctorily: "This is indeed a question. I need you to study it carefully. In general, these voters should have the support of some specific groups of people and be able to represent them to advocate for their interests. ”
Luo Zenan clapped his palms and said, "What Your Majesty said involves a fundamental issue. The council members you designed, or the parliament-elected cabinets, ultimately represent the interests of a large group! And what group of interests does Your Majesty want them to represent? ”
Feng Yunshan was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "Luo Aiqing is right! All state apparatus, governments, ultimately represent the interests of one or a few groups. I call it a class!
For example, in the Manchu Dynasty, they mainly represented the interests of the Manchu and Mongolian aristocracy, interspersed with the interests of the Han and large landlord classes. In fact, most of the dynasties represented the interests of the scholars and the landlord class with the scholars as the core. As for my Chinese Empire, which currently represents the joint interests of various classes, so far, it has not been completely determined, and I have always had a headache. The main reason is that the early stage of conquering the world and seizing the country was too fast, among them, there are the interests of the original brothers of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom in Guangxi, as well as the interests of the Hui Party, local gentry, poor people and villagers, as well as capital merchants and other strata who joined one after another.
But what I want to say is that the Chinese Empire must represent the interests of the scholars and the Chinese people! ”
Luo Zenan continued: "Your Majesty, what Weichen wants to say is that it may be difficult for Your Majesty's wish to come true. According to His Majesty's theory, as well as some superficial research by Wechen, Wechen believes that according to the development of the empire today, what can only be represented in the end is the interests of a new type of capital and comprador developed by the original local gentry, landlords, and local officials.
Today's empire is characterized by rapid development of basic industries. Moreover, with His Majesty's policy of further vigorous industrial development, the main economy of the empire will be dominated by industry, and the resulting industry and commerce will become more and more important. And these will create a number of interest groups, that is, in addition to the companies controlled by the imperial court, the rest of the local capital has become a new capital force and a new imperial interest group composed of compradors. It is these local capitals and regional comprador forces that are ultimately elected to be the objects of dependence and responsibility of the members of the parliament, and this is a definite choice. ”
"Oh? Why does Luo Aiqing think so? Feng Yunshan was a little strange, and at the same time a little surprised, he found that this Luo Zenan was becoming more and more interesting, no wonder he was called a thinker in later generations. And Luo Zenan at that time in history, he died in battle a few years ago, and now because of his own relationship, history has changed the course, this Luo Zenan did not die young, and served as the governor of Zhejiang for several years, but he did not expect his thinking to change. Feng Yunshan found that he originally thought that he valued Luo Zenan enough, but in the end, he still despised his subordinate.
"Your Majesty, according to what you said, Wechen boldly guesses that if there is really a model of governing the country like a parliamentary cabinet, these cabinet members elected by the so-called voters, and even the parliamentarians, they must ultimately be controlled by those interest groups that support them.
Feng Yunshan nodded, about this, although he didn't want to admit it, he had to admit it. In the history of later generations, basically all these countries that adopted the cabinet system, whether it was the ancient British constitutional monarchy or the democratic republic of the United States, the final cabinet or parliamentarians, behind them stood one interest group after another, forming a huge interest group and controlling the politics of these countries.
"Your Majesty, this is one of the bases for Wei Chen's speculation. Representatives of the local prefectures and prefectures with the right to vote elected provincial councilors, and eventually formed the entire empire, and then elected cabinet members. And perhaps in the beginning, these parliamentarians or cabinet members may represent the majority of ordinary people in the empire.
But with the passage of time, slowly, after the Chinese Empire has changed from an emerging country to a stable country solidified by various classes, with the strengthening of the empire's industrial base and commerce, it will give birth to the most powerful and powerful class, that is, the local capital and regional comprador power that Wechen said. Moreover, they will inevitably seek stronger political interests to help them obtain more stable and substantial economic benefits, and they will seek political asylum and use their financial strength to support those MPs or cabinet members who are willing to support their class and defeat other parliamentarians or cabinet members. Over time, slowly, parliamentarians or cabinet members will merge with these interest groups.
And these cabinet members, or those parliamentarians, are themselves supported and constrained by three main groups of people. The first category is the major conglomerates and the generous middle- and upper-class wealthy people from all walks of life who provide them with financial support, which are the financiers or backers mentioned by His Majesty; The second category is government groups or lower-level voters who provide them with political support and have a certain degree of influence; The third group, the largest group of people, were local voters or ordinary voters who directly participated in the voting nationwide, that is, ordinary people in the later empire.
Among these three types of people, the second type of people is actually in the final analysis, and the backers behind them are also the first type of financial owners, so for parliamentarians or cabinet members, it is these financial groups that ultimately restrict them, or control them. As for the ordinary people of the empire, although they are the most numerous, because they have no financial resources and no power, they can only cast one vote or express some verbal protest, so they have the least restraint on the decision-makers of the country such as parliamentarians or cabinet members.
And in this way, the administrative power of this country has become the spokesperson tool of the capitalist forces and compradors! After all, because these parliamentarians and their elected cabinet members will inevitably be constrained by the financiers when exercising state power, even if a few or even many of these cabinet members do not want to favor the financiers themselves, but in the process of governing, they are helplessly dragged to the wealthy financiers to serve them, and abandon or even exploit the ordinary people.
Your Majesty, is this what you would like to see? ”
