For the next six months, Chen Jian wandered around the five counties adjacent to Min County, where the handicraft industry was developed and the rule of the big family chaebols was weak. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Visiting chambers of commerce, guiding public opinion, bribery, and gift-giving...... Make final preparations for your trip to the capital.

To the north, some of the people who had graduated from what Mr. Chen called a "party cram school" and who had sat on the right also began to form a party.

A "traditional party" and a "Chinese Youth Federation of Interests First", the two parties included most of the large landowners in the north, the heirs of military leaders, the merchants of the big guilds, and the monopoly franchise families.

When the annual National People's Assembly officially opened, this National People's Assembly could finally go down in history.

At the conference, the participants removed their previous moral and traditional labels, and for the first time opened up to discuss the future of the country with the interests of Chiguoguo.

At the same time, the National Assembly, which is of several hundred people, finally has six people who identify with or sympathize with those who chose to sit on the left or in the center. Although there are few people, there are still them.

After a series of fierce quarrels, a consensus was finally reached on many things about the outside world, about open sea trade, about immigration, about party affiliation -- each with its own compromises, but it was necessary to first defend the interests of the "traditional party", otherwise it would not be possible to pass at all.

……

The most important thing is put behind the back, but what seems ridiculous is in front.

At this time, the country was always a combination of contradictions between various strata, and Chen Jian tried his best to reconcile the relationship between several parties, and finally completed the first national people's congress with the participation of political parties before the conclusion.

A lot of things hidden behind the scenes have come to the surface, and if there were no restrictions in the first few articles, those big landowners and big families in the north would not agree.

What they care about most is their own rent, whether the crops grown on their land can bring them profits.

It is said that some people are already planning to take advantage of the opportunity to change wheat to cotton in many places, hoard a sum of grain, or dig rivers and embankments to flood farmland, in order to make a lot of money.

Chen Jian also tried his best to fight, but he couldn't come on the bright side, so he could only quickly promote crops such as corn, potatoes, and sweet potatoes.

Various planting manuals bypassed Gakamiya Agricultural College and were advertised and sold everywhere at extremely low prices.

Similarly, if Jian Chen did not come up with the method of making crucible steel and flintlock pistols, the families that controlled the military workshop would also demand that Nanyang Trading Company must purchase their arquebuses.

Similarly, the hardwoods used by the Nanyang Trading Company had to be supplied by a few monopolistic northern lumber mills.

It seems that there are a lot of irrational places, but there are also areas of progress anyway.

It will take time to tell many people in this race how much influence the outside world has, so many things are not perfect at this time.

The Ministry of Rites didn't know how to deal with the outside world, and their only previous experience was the Northern Hou Boguo, which was within the system.

The Ministry of War does not know the size, army, guns, and tactics of those countries; The Ministry of Household Affairs has not yet finalized the customs duties and other bills; I have no experience in the jurisdiction of the colony or colony, and I don't know where to start for a while.

But anyway, I finally tried to go outside.

Regarding the discussion of the colony, Chen Jian also won the condition that the Great Wilderness City was a place of immigration rather than a colony, which could be regarded as a model to avoid colonial independence incidents in the future.

When the independence of the colonies required the extremely developed handicraft industry and the need for a vast market, the development of industry in the colonies was strictly forbidden to ensure dumping.

Now, it seems, those people don't have that in mind. The number of industry and commerce in the council is not very large, and if there are some monopolistic families, the domestic market can already satisfy them. As long as the food, salt and other things in the resettlement area do not affect their interests, Chen Jian finally won the special status of the Great Wilderness City.

Now it seems that there is only food there, but it will not be long before handicrafts and industry will develop, and the specific policy will have to wait until the future to be disputed with these people.

And presumably at that time a bourgeois revolution had broken out due to the distribution of profits, etc., otherwise industry and commerce would not have had such a big say.

A large part of the independence of the colonies was, in the final analysis, economic.

Chen Jian felt that at this moment, he had reached the pinnacle that the little people of the old era could reach, at least in this round-the-world fleet, he was granted the right to execute by the council and the king, which was really the peak moment.

But this pinnacle moment was not only won by himself, but by many, many people together with various means.

The influence of the outside world does not always explode suddenly. When they meet each other, there are always sparks that have not been there before, and new ideas will slowly merge.
