After sending away several big shots who came to inspect, Ouyang Bin reflected on his performance.

Overall, I'm quite satisfied.

Except for Wu Kui, he had met Bao Zheng, Wen Yanbo and Fu Bi before, but they all visited as juniors. This time it was the first time that he had contacted from the perspective of equal communication.

The effect is very good.

Judging from the expressions of several big shots, they all appreciate them quite well.

As we come to this era, the deeper Ouyang Bian integrates into this era, the less he is willing to let you ruin the prosperity at this time.

Here are his family, his friends, and the beauty he hopes to keep.

So he hopes to contribute some of his own strength to the Song Dynasty.

This time, the current situation of the victims was so miserable that he saw.

He often went to places where the victims gathered, and watched the hungry refugees from afar, especially the miserable scene of the child's pale face and thin skin, which made him feel a little reluctant to look at him.

As a person with a conscience, he will inevitably feel compassion for this.

Most of the reasons he mentioned were actually what shareholders said.

To ask shareholders to support his decision, it is not enough to say a few words of compassion. Capital is always profit-oriented.

If he wants West Lake City to join the disaster relief, he must find reasons for the shareholders.

Fortunately, his advanced ideas and knowledge allowed him to find many reasons.

For example, recruiting disaster victims to build Xihu City, using slightly higher salaries to make disaster victims a consumer, and making Xihu City a new commercial center, these are what shareholders are willing to see, so they can continue to be implemented.

After reflecting for a while, Ouyang Bin couldn't help but smile bitterly.

I originally just wanted to be a rich man and a second generation who did nothing, but I finally embarked on this path.

The Virgin’s heart is unsatisfactory.

Ouyang Bin sighed.

But, maybe this is a more interesting life?

Ouyang Bin laughed.

He turned around and looked at the towering West Lake City and smiled slightly.

It was time for the Song Dynasty to change.

Now the Song Dynasty has reached the time to be poor and weak, and is in a state of stagnation. If it remains unchanged, it will be terminally ill.

Although Wang Anshi's reforms found the reason for the illness of the Song Dynasty, he did not find a suitable prescription. In other words, the prescriptions prescribed are effective, but the power of the medicine is insufficient.

Reform is not an easy thing.

When Ouyang Bian reads historical books in later generations, some people said that the Chinese succumbed to violence, but were not as clumsy as institutional innovation.

This sentence makes some sense.

There have been more than a dozen reforms in China's history, and more than a dozen major reforms.

Most of the reforms failed more than a dozen times, while more than a dozen dynasties were successful.

Of course, in history, the efforts to change dynasties are far more than these dozens of times, but after all, there have been more than a dozen great successes.

Of course, there are more than a dozen reforms, but most of them have failed.

In other words, if you want to innovate the system, you can overthrow it.

Where is the reason to accept overthrow but not reform?

From a certain perspective, reform is a adjustment of interests and will violate some vested interests. This is a problem encountered by all countries, and it is not surprising.

So, what exactly does reform require?

Ouyang Bin thought about this for a long time and came to two conclusions.

There must be two points when carrying out reforms. One is to have sufficient authority. If I carry out reforms infringe on your interests, you will not be able to resist me;

Second, if the authority is not enough, there must be enough compensation. I deprive you of part of your interests and give you compensation.

When neither of these is the same, it will be troublesome.

In the era of imperial power, reformers have to face two major opposition forces, one is the vested interests, and the other is the imperial power itself.

Yes, the imperial power that supports change is itself an opposition force.

If you don’t believe it, look at the reforms of the Song Dynasty.

The emperor supported Fan Zhongyan’s reforms and Wang Anshi’s reforms at first, but once the emperor hesitated, they would become opponents of the reforms once they turned around.

Compared with the two major forces, reformers have always been weak.

Ouyang Bian is a timid person. He had just arrived in the Song Dynasty. Even as Ouyang Xiu's son, he still dared not have any inappropriate thoughts.

However, the deeper he knows and the more people he comes into contact with, he knows that he has to do something even if he doesn't do it. As long as he cares, he has to do it.

Poor little pomegranate, stubborn Wang Anshi, cold-faced Bao Zheng, Ouyang Xiu, several brothers with quirks, mothers who are not doing their jobs, and cute little Wang Jin...

Since there is a change, the imperial power itself cannot be too dependent on it.

Ouyang Bin does not want to make the mistakes made by other changers.

Since he has the will to change, he must hold the dominant power in his own hands.

If you want to reform, you have to face three major forces.

Political power, social power and capital power.

He cannot control political and social forces for the time being, but he can create the power of capital.

West Lake City is the foundation for him to control the power of capital.

He wants to take Xihu City as the foundation and control the capital power of Bianjing City in his own hands. At that time, he can attack and retreat or defend, and he will have much more room for maneuver.

In the Song Dynasty, the power of capital was actually not just the power of capital, but also mixed with political and social forces. This is the link between political and social forces. If you control the power of capital, you can get along well with everything and do many things that you cannot do normally.

Of course, if you want to reform, there is a lot more to do and more things to do, but this is already a good start, isn’t it?

Fortunately, he still has a lot of time.

Wen Yanbo and his friends broke up after entering the city.

Wen Yanbo's car didn't go far, so he turned around and went to Kaifeng Prefecture.

Although it was already off work time at this time, he knew that Bao Zheng would definitely be in the government office.

He knew very well that he was very responsible in this same year, and at such a critical moment, he would not leave his position.

Although the refugees have not entered Bianjing City yet, the situation outside the city is not optimistic.

Although there is still food now, the victims have always been uncontrollable. Once someone maliciously incites them, they will cause terrible consequences.

Sure enough, when he came to the government office, Bao Zheng was still handling official duties.

"Brother Xiren, you haven't been back for a few days. Be careful that your sister-in-law scolds you. Even if your sister-in-law understands, you have to pay attention to your health." Wen Yanbo smiled.

Bao Zheng shook his head: "Where can you dare to rest? Not to mention the victims outside the city, there are also many victims in the city. When the flood enters the city, many houses collapse and crushes many people to death. Some low-lying areas are even more miserable, and there are even many bad people taking the opportunity to steal. I have to stare at it."

Wen Yanbo's expression was a little bad when he heard this, and he nodded with a sigh.
