Chapter 425: Democratic Republic?

Democracy, freedom, since the people of Jiangnan Province already have such demands, why not push it? A thought came to her mind, and Wen Jin's heart beat faster: "Is it to encourage her husband to forcefully promote capitalism and establish a monarchical republic, will this continent avoid the tragedy that happened in another time and space?"

It is difficult to say what the fate of Jurong will be in the future, and when the imperial court is declining, it is really occupied by ethnic minorities like "Manchus", deducing a huge historical regression, so that this beautiful land has also gone through the humiliating process of the late Qing Dynasty, it will be too miserable, Wen Jin made up his mind.

"Lord Wang, have you ever thought about sitting down and talking to the people in Jiangnan?"

Qian Jun raised his eyes and looked at Wen Jin in surprise: "Who are you talking to?" How to talk about it? ”

"Talk to the delegates. Isn't it then, then, that you have been decreed to release those who have been captured? Anyway, some of them have already walked around the gates of hell and have been sentenced to death, and they don't care about multiple crimes, they are all dead anyway, how to die, is there a difference? ”

"What are you talking about?"

"Talk about how to convey their demands to the ears of the imperial court, for example, you can suggest that the imperial court set up a chamber of commerce in Jiangnan, all businessmen can join, the chamber of commerce has a president, secretary, etc., they serve the merchants, speak for the merchants, and the government must negotiate with them on an equal footing, instead of looking down on them from above, and agreeing to their conditions as a reward."

"Well, it's hard."

"I know it's difficult, but if it doesn't, there will be a lot of chaos in Jiangnan in the future, and it's very fierce."

"Yes." Qian Jun had to agree with his wife's statement.

"The Chamber of Commerce is non-governmental, and the government can set up a Bureau of Commerce to manage businessmen, and the officials of the Bureau of Commerce do not have to be born in the imperial examination, or even have no fame, as long as they have good morals, ability, energy, and willingness to serve everyone."

Seeing her husband pondering, Wen Jin stopped and didn't speak again until Qian Jun nodded: "Is there anything else?" ”

She continued: "The Bureau of Commerce is mainly responsible for two aspects of affairs, one is to manage industry and commerce, and all those who do business must register there, obtain licenses, and indicate the scope of business, so as to prevent scammers from confusing the real and shoddy. ”

"Well, now those things, everyone in the yamen is in charge, and they can't manage it well, what you said is very necessary."

"Another task of the Commerce Bureau is to communicate with the people of the Chamber of Commerce on a regular basis to see what their demands are, and to coordinate with the Yamen to meet the reasonable demands of the businessmen."

"It's not easy to operate."

"It's not difficult, the officials of the Bureau of Commerce are not directly appointed by the imperial court, but are elected by the merchants, who is willing to serve everyone, who is qualified to sit in that position, however, if the imperial court does not agree, the results of the election can be overturned, but not more than twice, if the businessmen nominate someone, the imperial court returns, they elect another person, and return, that is not good."

Qian Jun shook his head: "The emperor will never agree." ”

"Then you won't deal with the riots in Jiangnan, whatever they do."

"Hehe, it's not okay for you to be so rude." Qian Jun's mood is much better, what his wife says may not be implemented, but some proposals are still good, such as talking to those businessmen, asking them to say what is in their hearts, and when their hearts are calm, they will be appeased.

Wen Jin knew that what he said was not good, this is a feudal society, threatening the emperor? I don't want to mix it up.

Qian Jun was afraid that Wen Jin would be upset, so he squeezed her hand, let go, and comforted: "I want to think about it, what you said also has some truth, I have to think about it, to what extent, how to implement it." ”

"Okay." Wen Jin nodded, her husband grew up in a feudal society, and he was educated here, although he was a little rebellious when he was a child, but he has not yet reached the point of completely ignoring the imperial power, he may be able to find a middle way, so that Jurong can gradually move towards a monarchical republic.

The next day, Qian Jun went to prepare for going to the south of the Yangtze River, Wen Jin was at home, and wrote down all the knowledge she knew about the constitutional monarchy, the brush writing was too slow, and in the evening Qian Jun went to the court, she also wrote an outline, and the specific content was less than one-third, so she had to pack up those and order the maid to set the meal.

Qian Jun seemed to be very tired, and after eating and walking outside, he washed up and fell asleep, and Wen Jin carefully considered how to explain to him the advanced system he knew.

Wen Jin is not without weighing, the society in the previous life, China has really reached a critical moment of life and death, the Qing government is incompetent, only to completely overthrow, the establishment of a new society of national democracy, but now, the Jurong court has not yet reached the time of destruction, the difficulty of overthrowing the court is too great, can only start from the perspective of reform, the first step, it depends on how the husband promotes, the position of the cabinet minister, into a public election, not designated by the emperor, cabinet ministers every five years, at most two consecutive terms, after retiring, It is possible to seek the position of a member of the House of Representatives, to supervise the criminal responsibility of the cabinet, and to prevent conspirators from usurping power, becoming a new emperor or a "dictator".

In that year, Wen Jin and Qian Jun assisted Xiao Yi, in the implementation of civilian education, with the help of the improvement of the people's cultural level, to appease the society, the production capacity of the people, but also improved, Shen Mingyun implemented the new policy, this was also added, six years, not only let Jurong's productivity have been greatly developed, but also improve the cultural quality of the people, for the current implementation of democratic ideas, laid a solid foundation.

Shen Mingyun's new policy has another advantage, that is, no matter how much there is change, no one can interfere with the "ancestral family law".

It's easier said than done, Wen Jin herself is not a politician, she was even a small civil servant in her previous life, not even a high-level official, so she can't control and promote such a difficult matter, she can only pin her hopes on her husband and son.

It took three days for Wen Jin to revise and revise it, and wrote a "New Deal Fantasy" of more than 20,000 words, and she showed Qian Jun the new social system she knew, falsely claiming that it was a world she had imagined.

Qian Jun gave the emperor a day off, the couple sat in the study, Qian Jun took Wen Jin's article, looked carefully, he was very curious, and he was also a little suspicious, his wife read very little, most of them were self-taught, they understood the general knowledge, and they were born smart, but they saw that although Wen Jin wrote in the vernacular, he used accurate words and wrote fluently, and he still had some admiration in his heart: "You are so smart, I didn't expect that you can still write articles." ”

When he continued to read, he no longer had a hippie smile: "Although you are not a rebellion, it is almost a rebellion." ”

Wen Jin pouted: "I see that you have been wronged, and you are not angry in your heart, why, they are all descendants of the first emperor, his father is just older than his father-in-law, his father-in-law endured hunger and cold, and fought a war in Western Xinjiang for ten years, you still have the merit of supporting it, but he came to power, but he calculated everywhere, making you displaced, and the family is not a family, now, the imperial power is about to be passed to the next generation, and he is still like this, instigating the prince to guard against you, if it is as I said, he should be his emperor, and hand over the power, not only can ensure that the capable go up, and the mediocre go down, It can also ensure that the Qian family will be passed down from generation to generation, and there will definitely be no change in hundreds of years. ”

Qian Jun was moved by these words, and he waved his hand to stop: "Don't say it, let me think about it!" ”

No matter how many words Qian Jun has for the emperor, he is still a "loyal minister" in his heart, what Wen Jin gave him is simply a big rebellion, if he doesn't think she is a woman, he can't make any waves, and he has infinite love for her, he can't tolerate Wen Jin.

Wen Jin was not in a hurry, just looked at her husband quietly, and saw that Qian Jun had not spoken, so he said: "The change of dynasties, the change of imperial power, to put it bluntly, some capable people are unwilling to be subordinate, if the power is released, so that those smart people have a platform to perform, and at the same time, it restricts them from easily changing the dynasty, the Qian family's country, will not be lost from generation to generation?" Everyone knows that it is easy to start a business and difficult to keep a business, all dynasties, no matter how wise and wise the ancestors are, and make great efforts, among the descendants, there are always one or two unsuccessful, the gentleman's Ze, the fifth generation and beheaded, I say a big rebellious word, to your Qian family, this law will not change, even if it is Yongchang Zhongxing, it can only delay the two generations, if you really want to be eternal, the country is eternal, then there must be sacrifices, for example, take out a part of the power, let those capable people to compete, so as to divide the impact on the imperial power, At the same time, capable people help manage the country, even if there are one or two unscrupulous children, it doesn't matter, the prince thinks, what the concubine said makes sense? ”

Qian Jun shook his head: "How can the emperor agree?" ”

"Then you have to convince him, besides, the emperor has no time to rest all year round, aren't they tired of such days? There is Zhang Youchi, as long as he takes care of what he should do, and in addition, he still enjoys the power of being the first in the world, isn't it better to have such a life? ”

Qian Jun was very tempted, but he could also weigh that things were too difficult, and in the next few days, he kept frowning, considering whether what Wen Jin said could be implemented.

Jin Jin noticed his father's abnormality, and he avoided his mother and quietly asked, "Father, do you have anything on your mind?" The child is not talented, I hope to share your worries for you. ”

"I'm very confused, I'll tell you when I'm done."

"Father, the so-called brother who fights the tiger, the father and son soldiers, can't you tell me and let me help you think?" "No way!" The reason why Qian Jun refused was also considered, Jin Jin has been well-behaved since he was a child, and received an orthodox Confucian education, and the father and son of the monarch and the ministers have infiltrated his blood, and he was more rebellious when he was young, and after more than ten years of exiled life, it is easier to accept this kind of rebellious thoughts, and his thinking is more lively, he doesn't know if his son heard that his mother thinks so, whether there will be any conflict between the mother and son, in case it affects family harmony, it will be too indistributious.
