Chapter 634 Reform
In the court hall of Ningguo, facing the expectant eyes, Zhang Quan stood up with his head held high, and said sonorously and forcefully: "Delineate the special zone and implement the new policy on a trial basis. After the special zone is successfully implemented, it will be implemented nationwide."
After Zhang Quan's voice fell, the tense atmosphere in the courtroom relaxed a lot in an instant; even a rough voice was heard. Whether it was His Majesty the Emperor or the civil and military officials, all of them suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
The reason for the half-breath is because... still need to reform.
Well, at first everyone thought that Zhang Quan would definitely carry out the reform in an all-round way; and along the way, Zhang Quan repeatedly gave speeches, thought over and over again, and carefully observed the situations of the countries along the way. So when everyone thinks about it, Zhang Quan must have a "mature" strategy. And maturity often means being strong and irrefutable.
In everyone's imagination, once this strategy is adopted, it will be very tough, even tyrannical, making it impossible for everyone, even the emperor himself. And the vested interests in the past will be very miserable.
In this way, Ning country will inevitably be somewhat chaotic.
Therefore, everyone is worried about their own vested interests, and they are also worried about the chaos in Ningguo, including His Majesty the Emperor.
But when Zhang Quan uttered the words of "designate a special zone and try out the new policy", everyone suddenly realized that the situation was not as bad as expected. Zhang Quan seemed to have thought everything through.
However, because they didn't know what Zhang Quan would say next, everyone didn't relax completely.
At this time, everyone stared at Zhang Quan closely, waiting for Zhang Quan to explain.
Under everyone's gaze, Zhang Quan spoke slowly, but the first thing Zhang Quan wanted to say was not the capital system.
"Your Majesty, I believe that every thought has its shining points. In my opinion, Confucianism has many advantages that cannot be replaced. Especially in terms of social stability, humanistic feelings, ideology and morality, national culture and civilization, Confucianism is the best choice.
But again, every kind of thinking also has disadvantages, and Confucianism also has inevitable disadvantages. Chen believes that the biggest disadvantage of Confucianism is that it likes to talk about national policies, but it is not practical.
People have four major needs, food, clothing, housing and transportation. Confucianism, however, focuses on etiquette and morality other than the four major needs. Such a proposition is out of touch with people's livelihood.
As the saying goes, granaries know etiquette based on facts, and the prosperity of the society must have a prerequisite, that is, the people are rich, and then they can have extra energy to pay attention to etiquette and morality. Based on this, Chen put forward the idea of reform.
Use the pragmatic thinking of capital production and use Confucianism to fill in the gaps in national ideology and culture.
Enrich the country with industry and commerce, and supplement the people's livelihood; then use Confucian benevolence and righteousness to restrain the eagerness for quick success and instant benefit in the development of capital.
In fact, capitalism and Confucianism do not conflict. If Confucianism is the right leg, then capitalism is the left leg. Only with sound legs can the country move forward quickly. "
"Okay!" Before Zhang Quan finished speaking, the emperor and all the officials cheered in unison. Reasonable, eclectic, and practical, this is an excellent idea of strengthening the country.
After waiting for a while to give everyone a time to react and think, Zhang Quancai continued: "But there are also some problems. Confucianism and capitalism are two kinds of thinking after all, and some of them may conflict.
For example, capitalism is more radical, it needs to be explored and pioneered, and it is full of aggressiveness, while Confucianism is more about imitating the sages and is relatively conservative.
Also, the idea of capital is after all the pursuit of profit; it is to induce the people to create wealth by profit. To allow the country to create wealth, it is necessary to mobilize the enthusiasm of the people. Obviously, using benefits to induce is the simplest and most effective. This point, I am afraid that it will conflict with Confucianism.
Also, capitalism advocates emancipating the minds of the grassroots, and to emancipate the minds, one thing is unavoidable. That is—women can also hold up half the sky..."
"Impossible!" Before Zhang Quan's words were finished, there was another reaction, but this time it was a firm opposition, a sonorous and forceful opposition, and an opposition without the slightest hesitation! Du Jun, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, almost angrily objected, "It's not proper to let women pay for the country. If a country needs to be guarded by women, it will definitely be ridiculous!"
Faced with such diehards, Zhang Quan was prepared: "Du Shangshu, Zhang Quan believes that true knowledge comes from practice. In fact, this is also dominated by Confucianism. Confucianism has long had the idea of unity of knowledge and action. What do you think?"
"Some things don't work without practice! As for telling the truth, there really are. Mr. Zhang has never heard of the land of pink rouge?"
The land of pink rouge is indeed a powerful slap in the face!
However, after hearing this "fact", Zhang Quan burst out, "The reason for this is not because of being forced. If women are allowed to do business and use their hands and wisdom to fight for a future, I don't think there will be any Women are willing to go to the land of pink rouge!"
Du Jun was choked and speechless after being slapped in the face.
"Well said!" came a soft voice. Then a graceful and luxurious woman came, and Princess Qingcheng Ning Xiaolan followed behind her step by step.
Seeing this woman, the officials immediately shouted: "Queen Wanan."
After the empress came out, she gave a salute to the emperor, and then sat beside the emperor under the service of Ning Xiaolan, her beautiful eyes swept the court with majesty. "At first I didn't want to talk, I just wanted to listen to Zhang Xiangguo's remarks later, I really couldn't bear it; if there is any interruption, please Haihan.
As a woman, the concubine can best understand the helplessness of women in the land of pink rouge.
Zhang Xiangguo, a concubine, is known as the mother of the world. Therefore, on behalf of the woman, I would like to thank you.
But one thing, how to liberate women, does Xiangguo have a practical idea? "
Workable ideas. This is very important, and the queen also deliberately emphasized this point.
After Zhang Quan saluted, he spoke forcefully, "Returning to the queen, I think that before the reform, it can be implemented in one county. After a trial is suitable for one county, it will be implemented in five counties.
After five counties still have no problems, they can be assigned to half a county; then one county. If there is no problem in a county, it can be officially issued nationwide.
As far as a county is concerned, women can be allowed to do business and do some small shopping activities such as sewing, mending, tea and catering, teaching and educating people, and taking care of infants and young children.
At the same time, women serve as part of the officials. At the beginning, women can be used to manage women. For example, there are many talented women among women who are amazingly talented, and they can start from here to hold poetry, prose, and even female celebrity exchanges.
In order to strengthen the confidence of the people, the minister dared to ask the queen to come forward and organize a women's poetry meeting. "
This is to let the queen sit in charge and take the lead. In fact, it is not only to increase the confidence of the people, but also to prevent people who want to make trouble. But these words cannot be said. However, all the people present are fine people, who can't hear the meaning behind these words.
After hearing this, the queen nodded in satisfaction, and turned to look at the emperor: "Your Majesty, there is a food town under the name of my concubine. If you want to try reform, please allow me."
After hearing this, Emperor Ningguo thought for a while, and immediately said: "Well, Xiangguo will go to the queen's side for now, and try out the reform in one place first, so as to see the effect."
"Yes." Zhang Quan immediately agreed, full of confidence.
Finally, you can start to implement it, and do it yourself! Let alone the excitement in Zhang Quan's heart.
Once upon a time, seeing Li Xian becoming stronger step by step, watching the Shang Kingdom being established step by step, Zhang Quan was envious and jealous. But later, it turned into looking up - the gap is too big.
Once, in Xiao Guo, Zhang Quan also wanted to start his dream, but Xiao Guo soon disappeared. Later, in desperation, Zhang Quan followed Xiang Bowen to the west.
From this moment, Zhang Quan's fate took a turning point.
But right now, Zhang Quan wants to show his ambitions!
Looking to the south, Zhang Quan was full of confidence: Xiang Bowen, Liang Guo? You guys will regret it! I have been preparing for this moment for too long!
