Da Qin's judicial reform is still progressing in full swing, and professional training and assessment for officials from the two outer departments of the Capital Water Supervision and Ordnance Supervision are about to be launched.
Although Qin Mudu and the important officials in the DPRK reached consensus on these reforms, the departments involved in the reforms, as well as officials in similar departments, will inevitably form some backlash.
The glorious deeds of the mission to visit Europe were far better than Zhang Qian's passage to the Western Regions. It was like a timely rain. This incident was just used to divert domestic attention. Therefore, Qin Mu not only convened a special meeting to implement the garrison in Europe.
Moreover, the "Da Qin Times" was allowed to exaggerate the matter. In addition to diverting domestic attention, it was also to encourage more people to go abroad and encourage businesses to enter Europe in a big way.
Small countries like the Netherlands and Portugal can do business as big as the Qin Dynasty. If the Qin Dynasty has huge trade advantages, can't they seize the European market
If there was no guarantee before because you were not familiar with Europe, you can go now with confidence. The east of the Cape of Good Hope is protected by the Royal Navy. After entering the Atlantic Ocean, you can dock freely at ports in Portugal, the United Kingdom, and Spain, and you can get Corresponding protection and supply supplies.
In Europe, many countries' trading ports allow free trade, and they are also tariff-free. Daqin itself also has two ports, the Port of Aveiro and the Port of Marseille on the Mediterranean Sea.
You are no longer helpless. Great Qin's Royal Navy has already set sail for Europe, where no country will dare to deliberately make things difficult for you.
What are you waiting for? Go ahead and set sail loaded with Da Qin’s products! over there. The supply of goods in Daqin exceeds demand, and the price is dozens or even hundreds of times higher than that in the mainland. As long as you can reach Europe, you can make a lot of money.
At shipyards across Daqin, shipbuilding orders have been scheduled for at least a year, especially the amazingly fast clipper ships, which are the preferred ship type among merchants.
The total number of Daqin merchant ships sailing to Korea, Japan, Nanyang, South China, India, Persia, the Red Sea and other places every day has reached more than 8,000. The number of merchant ships is increasing at an alarming rate. It is believed that it will soon surpass the Netherlands and become the largest ocean trading country with the largest number of merchant ships in the world.
The strong development of the Royal Navy paved the way for Da Qin's products. Opened up the market. Within the scope controlled by the Royal Navy, as long as you brave the wind and waves and transport the freight, you don't have to worry about not making money.
Actually. Even without exerting diplomatic and military pressure. There is no need to worry about lack of market for Daqin’s products, whether they are traditional silk, tea, porcelain, or emerging yarns, cotton cloth, ready-made clothing, woolen clothing, leather clothing, toffee, beef jerky, specialty smoked meat, as well as soaps, toilets, Batteries, light bulbs, searchlights, cement, and rubber products; knives, swords, matches, glass crafts made of new steel, paper, pens and inks, calligraphy and paintings, Confucian classics, Buddhist scriptures, medical books, exquisite jewelry, jade carvings, various spices, and medicinal materials , furniture, lacquerware, etc.;
As Da Qin's influence continued to expand. Countries around the world admire Da Qin more and more deeply, and people are proud to be able to use Da Qin's products.
Da Qin's goods are passing through nearly 10,000 merchant ships. It is continuously sold overseas, and at the same time, it brings back a large amount of overseas goods, as well as shiploads of wealth.
News came back two days ago that a merchant ship from the Ocean Trading Company returned from the Persian Gulf with a battery and five cannons. After seeing it, a tribal chief regarded them as sacred objects. He bought it with treasures worth 300,000 dragon coins. This incident was reported back and caused a sensation in Great Qin.
And similar legends are by no means a single phenomenon. Many novel products often fetch eye-poppingly high prices when they arrive overseas. Just one such business is enough for a person to enjoy it for a lifetime.
Such huge profits are tempting more and more people to join overseas trade.
Now, such a huge market in Europe has been opened to the merchants of Daqin. The report of "Daqin Times" immediately triggered a huge response. Many merchants and trading companies organized fleets to prepare to sail to Europe to seize the market.
Amid the excitement between the government and the public, judicial reform and the training and assessment of officials from departments such as the Capital Water Supervision and Ordnance Supervision have become somewhat calm. This is exactly what Qin Mu hopes to achieve.
The two departments, the Ordnance Supervision and the Du Shui Supervision, are relatively "craftsmanlike" and cannot be compared with noble departments like the Hanlin Academy.
Training and assessments were quietly carried out in these two departments. Officials in the DPRK and the Central Government did not feel much "pain". There was even a censor Yanguan who offered to conduct training and assessments for Taipu Temple, Sinong Temple and other departments. Qin Mu was still worried. If the movement is too big, it will have adverse consequences, so press it temporarily.
In the Huagai Hall, Qin Mu summoned Wang Fuzhi, a Hanlin scholar who was in charge of "Da Qin Times", and said to him: "Wang Qing, Da Qin Times is a major newspaper of the imperial court. I must read every issue. Since Wang Qing became the editor-in-chief, Da Qin Times I am very pleased that the quality of the Times has been continuously improved and its authority has been widely recognized by the public. However, I believe that the current Daqin Times still has some shortcomings, that is, the categories are relatively confusing, and this aspect must be improved.”
Wang Fuzhi quickly asked: "I wonder how your Majesty wants to improve it?"
Qin Mu said seriously: "What I mean is that we can no longer arrange it in such a general way. We need to separate industry sections. For example, the first page is news about current affairs, the second page is about technology, and the third page is The fourth page is about finance and agriculture and animal husbandry. In short, each page must be clearly distinguished. News of this type cannot be arranged in which type of page. I have a detailed layout rule here. You can take it and follow it. That’s it.”
Wang Fuzhi took the plain paper handed over by the palace maid and saw that it had been sorted into categories. Wang Fuzhi felt that it would be more concise and orderly if arranged in this way. Anyone who wants to read any type of reports can just look for the corresponding classification section, so I agreed.
Qin Mu actually did this because he wanted to use the big newspapers as a guide and reflect the status of all walks of life in the newspapers in a subtle and subtle way.
For example, he placed the science and technology section on the second page, second only to current affairs news.
Innovation in science and technology inevitably involves subjects such as mathematics, geometry, physics, and chemistry. Over time, the status of these natural subjects will be unknowingly improved and deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
After dividing the sections, Qin Mu added: "In order to ensure the fairness and authority of Daqin Times, reports cannot be reported just by catching wind and shadow. The newspaper must hire some people with higher quality as reporters to report on some major news. , and emergencies, enter the field to track and understand;
And when reporting on news, try not to have a subjective stance as much as possible. Your task is to report the incident as it is. As for the public, it is their business to take what position they take after reading it. You must ensure your neutrality. Only in this way can the authority of Daqin Times be maintained for a long time. "
If there is no authority anymore, then Qin Mu's efforts to divide the industry into different sectors will be of no use.
In short, in order to improve the status of mathematics, physics and chemistry, Qin Mu did everything he could.
The situation in China is different from that in the West. After the Renaissance, various natural disciplines are developing vigorously in the West. Since the Han Dynasty and Wu Dynasty, China has only respected Confucianism, which has led to the serious shrinkage of other natural disciplines. If this abnormal knowledge form is not quickly corrected, we will be in trouble. No matter how hard we work, China's technology will eventually lag behind that of the West.
Wang Fuzhi didn't know that he was thinking so much. When he heard that a large number of reporters would be hired, he couldn't help frowning and said: "Your Majesty, this will greatly increase the newspaper's expenses..."
Qin Mu immediately waved his hand and said: "Wang Qing is an expert in academics, but you are really not good at business. Although hiring reporters will increase the newspaper's expenses, it can greatly improve the speed, quality, and authority of the newspaper's news reporting.
The higher the authority, the greater the sales volume of newspapers and periodicals, the higher the newspaper's income will inevitably be, and the advertising charges can also be greatly increased. The charge for publishing an advertisement now is twenty dragon coins, and then you can charge one One hundred dragon coins, or even one thousand dragon coins.
Just do as I say. Regarding the specific administrative management, I will find a capable talent for you, so you don’t need to worry about administrative matters. "
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
