In the court of Yue State, south of the Shang Dynasty, the new plan suddenly launched by the Shang Dynasty was being discussed. Information exchange was now very convenient, and a single call could convey the Shang Dynasty's information to hundreds of thousands of miles away.
Nowadays, basic communications above Yingzhou are almost unimpeded. Of course, if you want to get such services, you need to pay a high price to the Shang Dynasty.
Well, these are not the main points today. The main point is the information that suddenly came from the Shang Dynasty this morning - elections and the prime minister system.
"Shang Dynasty, what are you doing!" The Emperor of Yue looked at his ministers, seemingly talking to himself, or asking questions of all the officials.
Next to him, Prime Minister Gou Yuanli stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I have a suspicion."
"Oh? What doubts?" asked the emperor, and everyone looked at Gou Yuanli.
Gou Yuanli said slowly: "Your Majesty, I suspect that the virtuous king has awakened and is at least able to give simple instructions to the government. Such a bizarre plan is something that most people would never dare to think of. Even if they dare to think of it, they would not dare to make it public! Therefore, the virtuous king must be behind this matter!"
Next to him, Grand Tutor Yuan Bingchu was a little skeptical: "According to the Shang Dynasty, isn't it said that because they can't control the current Shang Dynasty, they have to look for information from the manual of the wise king?"
Gou Yuanli laughed: "Who dares to flip through the handbook of the wise king! Besides, who dares to speak out about such a subversive strategy! I have studied the politics of the Shang Dynasty. Although the politics of the Shang Dynasty is very open, in fact, major decisions still need the wise king to speak. Without the wise king's nod, even Queen Xia Qingqing can only follow the old system step by step."
Taiwei Bai Shuiming spoke up: "I agree with the Prime Minister. The virtuous king should wake up. But I have another guess, that is, the virtuous king is not in good condition, otherwise he would not have launched such a strategy. I estimate that the current virtuous king may only be awake for a short time every day and can only issue simple orders."
Everyone immediately started discussing this issue, and gradually they reached a consensus: this wise king should have woken up, or at least woken up; otherwise, ordinary people would not have the courage to implement such a subversive policy.
After discussing this issue, everyone returned to the starting point - whether the wise king wakes up now is no longer important, because no matter how worried everyone is, what is going to happen has already happened and cannot be changed.
However, the new policies suddenly introduced by the Shang Dynasty made everyone panic.
"If this kind of election system is allowed to spread, the world will be in chaos!" Gou Yuanli's eyes were solemn, and her voice was trembling a little, "Your Majesty, I have this opinion.
First, the Shang Dynasty had the foundation for implementing elections because its national policies, social environment, etc. were indeed excellent.
I analyzed the national policies of the Shang Dynasty. It was a positive country that was developing at an accelerated pace and constantly reforming its laws.
The past system was indeed unable to meet the current development needs of the Shang Dynasty. Therefore, the Shang Dynasty had to reform. Moreover, the Shang Dynasty had never stopped the pace of reform since its establishment. The people of the Shang Dynasty were accustomed to such changes, and the vested interest groups of the Shang Dynasty liked such changes even more.
Therefore, such a reform should be beneficial to the Shang Dynasty as a whole. Of course, this is just speculation, and the specific situation depends on the development of the Shang Dynasty.
