Ouyang Bian felt a very headache.

Scholars are the foundation of the Daxia Dynasty, while merchants are the future of the Daxia Dynasty.

This is also a reform.

What Ouyang Bian hopes is to vigorously enhance the status of merchants and make merchants the driving force for the development of the Great Xia Dynasty. After all, with the arrival of the industrial revolution, the main force still has to rely on merchants. If merchants do not gain political status, they will rebel.

Have you heard of the bourgeois revolution?

Of course, it takes time to wait until the bourgeoisie revolts, and it may not be certain in decades or even a hundred years, but as long as one day the status of merchants does not match their status, it may explode.

Ouyang Bian had a headache because he was already a little shaken. On the one hand, the businessman must do the job of improving his status, but on the other hand, Ouyang Bian actually knew that he was a little impatient in doing this, but Ouyang Bian had already smelled the smell of the industrial revolution. If he did not resolve this matter quickly, the conflict between civil servants and merchants would be indispensable.

However, it seems that according to Su Che, the descendants of businessmen can still study and enter the political arena. In this way, businessmen have channels to improve and will not oppose the court too much. After all, the entire society does advocate scholars...

Neither Ouyang Bian nor Su Che could convince each other, so they could only put it aside for the time being, but Su Che's admonition was spread, so many memorials flew into the palace like snowflakes.

Most of the memorials are also against the political consultation meeting. I hope Ouyang Bian can cancel the political consultation meeting. Regarding the improvement of the status of businessmen, it is recommended that the imperial examinations be taken normally.

This is the first time for Ouyang Bian. Ouyang Bian does things first, first integrate the opinions of the three provinces and six ministers and then decides the strategies. The leaders of the three provinces and six ministers agree to implement them, and basically there will not be too many oppositions.

Su Che's opposition was like a trumpet sounding, which made others object, but it was not because Su Che's influence was so great that someone had just started.

Ouyang Bian has a firm will, but he is also a person who can listen to his opinions. Since everyone opposes it, it will be put on hold. However, for businessmen, they have to work harder for decades to enter the top management.

However, this incident is also a very obvious signal. Ouyang Bian, the official in Daxia, intends to improve the status of a businessman. There are oppositions in the court, but overall it still leaves a channel for progress.

The political consultation meeting was cancelled next. Although many businessmen felt sorry, their representative identity was not cancelled. They were given the right to submit proposals to the court at any time, which was a channel that could directly reach Tianting.

However, this identity is not permanent, it is also limited and will be changed every four years.

As for Yu Qiaoyu and others, they were sentenced based on the crimes they committed, but they did not involve much. They mainly confiscate property and imprisoned for several years.

Although these things were a hot topic, the overall situation was very stable. Even the businessmen who had been cancelled from the political consultation meeting even felt relieved, and they were riding on the heads of scholars. It was exciting to think about it, but it was quite scary.

Some people also felt regretful. These people had a sharp eye and a grand layout, so they realized what kind of opportunity the businessman had missed.

But soon they didn't have time to think about it because for them, making money is the most important thing.

With the official start of production of the Mizhou Industrial Park, the economy of Daxia seems to have been equipped with an accelerator. The goods produced by the Mizhou Industrial Park are continuously transported overseas, and internally, a lot of raw materials and various materials are needed. This demand is also very large for Daxia.

As a result, facing such a huge demand in various places in Daxia, economic vitality was immediately stimulated.

After all, there is an industrial park like a bottomless pit that requires a large amount of material and raw materials. These things are purchased in Daxia as much as possible. Such demand is the catalyst for the economy.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for businessmen. They don’t have time to think too much, and the key is to make money first.

Faced with this situation, most people were happy, but some were a little disappointed. That person was Zhou Yunrang.

Zhou Yunrang took over Ouyang Bian's task. He originally wanted to raise funds from big dogs like Daxia, but unfortunately there were too many opportunities in China. Those people didn't want to throw their money into invisible places, so they invested very cautiously.

Although some people have also voted, they have only given Zhou Yunrang's identity symbolically a bit of face. After all, Zhou Yunrang is a big boss of Nanyang Group, and he is in charge of the largest foreign trade market in Daxia. This face still needs to be given.

But this little money was just a drop in the bucket for Zhou Yunrang, and he had no choice but to find Ouyang Bian. In this case, Ouyang Bian was helpless and could only invest 10 million yuan by himself, and then asked the central bank to invest 10 million yuan. After hearing the news, the Agricultural Bank of China quickly came to invest 10 million yuan, which was considered to have made up some of the money.

It’s not that the Song Dynasty merchants could not raise funds. The key is that this is an important resource and cannot be controlled by the Song Dynasty merchants.

Now that these 30 million yuan are available, Zhou Yunrang can show his strength.

Zhou Yunrang took a boat to Ryukyu that day.

Ryukyu is the Bay of later generations.

After arriving in Ryukyu, Zhou Yunrang immediately sent someone to Jiangnan and Fujian to deliver letters, mainly to invite some big merchants to Ryukyu to participate in the big business.

Zhou Yunrang attaches great importance to this matter.

Although there are more than 30 million yuan in baselines and the first phase of the project can be started, Zhou Yunrang still wants to leverage greater resources.

The construction of Ryukyu requires more people to participate, and Jiaozhi's control also requires people and funds. Now, there is a fear that there is not enough money in Daxia, and there is no one, so where can we withdraw people to do this?

Now the one with the most spare money and the most human resources is the Song Dynasty.

Although the Great Xia is in full swing now and the Song Dynasty looks terminally ill, in terms of family background, the Song Dynasty is much richer.

——Ouyang Bian’s more than ten years of hard work were thrown into the Song Dynasty.

Moreover, the Great Xia fought south and north, snatching a large amount of land and population, but the total population was only 30 million, while the population of the Song Dynasty was estimated to be close to 100 million!

With such a huge population base, this kind of family foundation is not much stronger than that of the Daxia Dynasty.

Zhou Yunrang is just focusing on human resources.

Now the Great Xia Dynasty has many opportunities, who is willing to leave his hometown? But the Great Song Dynasty is different. Now the Great Song Dynasty is in a great depression, and the people have no support for food and clothing, and they are almost out of their way to live. Now there is a way to live. Do you think they will come out?
