The 16-year-old Muren was highly knowledgeable about the systems of Western countries, clearly having done his homework thoroughly.
"The Western system is fundamentally unsuitable for Eastern nations. Not only is its administrative efficiency low, but it also exacerbates the disparities among the people."
"The people of the East are accustomed to being governed. They enjoy a time of peace and prosperity under a wise monarch, but under a foolish one, it's the age-old, 'Are lords and generals born differently?'
"In contrast, Western people of the present era are the opposite. They dislike being governed and refuse to submit to the rule of the royal family or sects."
"Since the Renaissance from the 14th to the 16th century, Western thought has been completely liberated, and capitalism began to germinate."
"By the 17th and 18th centuries, with the rise of the bourgeoisie and the advent of the 19th century's Steam Era, capital officially became the master of the world."
