The golden sun shone on Qian Dafu's stunned face.
Xiao Ming's proposal shocked him enough. He said cautiously, "I can only chat with the emperor, and I dare not criticize such an important thing."
With a slight smile, he looked at Qian Dafu and said, "don't be nervous. You'll understand when I say it. "
the status of businessmen in Dayu has been suppressed for thousands of years, and they have been liberated abruptly. Now it must be a big explosion, which is not only the development of industry and commerce, but also the explosion of businessmen's mentality.
Because they have gathered a lot of wealth, they feel that they should have some say in participating in national affairs. Of course, very few ambitious businessmen want to be like the West.
"Under the influence of the king of Chu, businessmen have a lot of ideas in their hearts. That's why Cao Zhengyang is like a fish in water in Qingzhou, because businessmen regard him as a business leader and complain about the court's strict restrictions on their businessmen's behavior."
Xiao Ming has been paying close attention to the development of Qingzhou, so he knows the current situation of Qingzhou.
After thinking for a while, he continued: "so, I decided to give them such an opportunity to hold an annual assembly of representatives of businessmen, craftsmen and students, so that they can put forward their own suggestions on the government of Dayu state. At the same time, an organization called the Consultative Council for government affairs will be set up in the government. Businessmen, students and craftsmen who join the Consultative Council for government affairs will be selected What about the candidates who came to participate in the Parliament? "
in fact, Xiao Ming's idea of yuanwailang is basically similar to that of yuanwailang before Dayu state, but yuanwailang has no right to participate in government affairs. Now Xiao Ming has given them a formal organization, officially recognized identity.
The most important thing is that they can put forward their dissatisfaction with government affairs in front of the emperor, or suggestions beneficial to the development of Dayu.
The reason why Xiao Ming thinks of this is also the inspiration from modern times. Since businessmen need the right to participate in politics, he gives them an organization that seems to be very important, but in fact it depends on their attitude.
In the annual Business Council, he can adopt the more favorable suggestions of businessmen. In this way, businessmen will feel that they are valued, and there is no other excuse to ask for more in-depth participation in government affairs.
After all, this Parliament is basically no different from that of officials.
Having said all this, Qian Dafu suddenly showed a bitter smile. It turned out that the merchant's court discussion meant this. He said, "the emperor is wise. Since the merchants like this, let's make a toss."
Xiao Ming nodded. "For the sake of unnecessary turbulence, I think it's necessary to disclose a little bit of information about the Consultative Conference on government affairs in the newspaper."
After that, he sat down and wrote a manuscript, which was sent to the newspaper.
The next day, Qingzhou Daily said, "the great change in the status of businessmen in the millennium, two or three things about the Consultative Conference on government affairs." Roaring.
As soon as this newspaper came out, Qingzhou City, which was originally peaceful, became lively again.
"Anyone who is willing to join the Consultative Conference on government affairs can elect representatives of businessmen to attend the parliament held on November 6 every year. At that time, his Majesty the state of Dayu will discuss state affairs with the businessmen together with the cabinet ministers and adopt useful advice."
In the Wei's restaurant, Ding Wu read the contents of the newspaper and looked excited. After reading the newspaper, he slapped the table hard. "Do you see it? Do you see it? It's written by the Emperor himself."
The people who can eat breakfast in Wei's restaurant are mostly the top businessmen in Qingzhou. They used to envy Chu businessmen to participate in government affairs, but now, this kind of happiness comes too suddenly.
"Cao Zhengyang shows off his family all day long. Now they have nothing to say."
"Ding Wu, if the government affairs consultative conference is established, we will choose you as its president. When the time comes, we will see how proud Cao Zhengyang will be. "The rest of the people were shouting.
Ding Wu got up to thank him. "Thank you for your kindness. If I can see the emperor in the court, I will report your advice to the emperor."
"Good!" The businessmen laughed.
Cao Zhengyang was sitting not far from Dingwu. The merchants' naked provocation made his face red. Now the merchants are completely indifferent to him.
Although he was annoyed, he was more regretful in his heart. This time, he seems to have gone too far.
Since he settled in Qingzhou, he has been too smooth here. With the improvement of the freedom of Qingzhou businessmen, he did not feel the omnipresent majesty of the imperial court for a long time.
Moreover, because of the Cao family's massive investment in Qingzhou government, all the officials and the people respected him very much, which made him feel a little elated.
The most important thing is that he thought that the king of Chu and the imperial court were one and would be at peace, just as they have been for hundreds of years.
But five days ago, the order from the Cao family made him see the reality clearly. It seemed that there was not so much harmony between the king of Chu and the emperor.
Therefore, when he saw the contents of the newspaper, he had mixed feelings. He didn't know what his father would feel when he saw the newspaper.
But there is no turning back. Now that the Cao family has gone out of this step, they can't turn back. The silver has been shipped out of Qingzhou. Once the imperial court knows, the Cao family's Bank will be doomed.At the same time, he has already made preparations. After breakfast, he will go from Qingzhou to Dengzhou in the name of business, and then he will board an English merchant ship to Lin'an.
After a quick meal, Cao Zhengyang didn't retort, so he went out of the Wei restaurant. At this time, the shopkeeper looked at Cao Zhengyang and made eye contact with the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper turns around and walks to Dongshi. He wants to tell them the whereabouts of Cao Zhengyang.
When Qingzhou fell into a frenzy, the news about the Consultative Council of government affairs quickly spread to the workshops outside Qingzhou City. All the self-made businessmen like Zhu Wuliu cheered and looked forward to the official promulgation of the law on the Consultative Council of government affairs by the imperial court.
When the businessmen were excited, Xiao Ming was already discussing this issue with the cabinet. The Consultative Council for government affairs did not have any rights stipulated in the law of the state of Dayu, that is, the Consultative Council for government affairs existed as an open-minded organization of the imperial court.
In addition to businessmen, there will also be people from other industries in Dayu, who will speak on behalf of all strata of Dayu.
Therefore, for Xiao Ming, this organization has some benefits, which can let him have a more intuitive understanding of the development of Dayu state.
At the same time, it can also make officials restrain their magic grip. After all, the Consultative Council of government affairs can also be used as an eye to supervise the behavior of officials.
"This is what Mingjun did, and his ministers are willing to assist the emperor in establishing this Council."
After understanding the essence of the Consultative Conference on government affairs, Pang Yukun and Fiji agreed.
