Fu Qin starts with a plan

Chapter 596
The reason why Wu Guang did this was mainly because after the opening of the sea, Daqin Haike discovered a huge silver mine in Fusang.

At the beginning, they found that the local people in Fusang were too poor to wear pants, so they exchanged some unequal goods for silver.

There have even been cases of exchanging an iron pot for silver of the same weight.

Later, the Yayoi Dynasty discovered this situation and stopped it in time.

Yayoi III can also be regarded as a British lord.

He decisively ordered to block the silver mine, and then imitated Daqin to issue business cards to the sea merchants going to Fusang.

Only licensed merchants can purchase silver at the official price set by Fuso.

With this move, the profits of the Daqin maritime merchants heading to Fusang plummeted.

Fusang's business brand policy was released, and in the first half of the year, three yuan were issued.

But later, Daqin Haishang realized that this was a trap, so he never spent money to buy it again.

In the eyes of these sea merchants, Yayoi III was really hopeless.

You are a small country, you can only rely on the market of Daqin to survive.

We are willing to exchange things with you for silver, that is to value you.

If I don't want to change, just rob you, what can you do to me?

You know, the early sea merchants were extremely fierce, they were all ruthless people who put their heads on their belts to make a living.

They thought so, and of course they did.

Therefore, Fusang is actually the birthplace of Daqin pirates.

After arriving in Fusang, countless serious seafarers were forcibly drawn into the group and became pirates.

They came in droves to plunder the silver mines.

If Fusang dared to organize an army to resist, it would usher in a merciless massacre.

Seeing that Yayoi III had no choice but to ask Daqin for help.

If he was smarter, it would be fine if he directly sent Fusang's silver mine to Daqin.

But Yayoi III didn't agree, he promised that all the silver mine output would be sold to Daqin at the lowest price.

This made Chen Ping, who was in charge of handling the matter, furious!
Little Fusang, how dare he be so ignorant?
If you don't know the rules, Daqin will teach you what rules are!

Chen Ping contacted Wu Guang and asked Wu Guang to send people to Fusang to destroy the pirates.

In fact, in less than a month, Wu Guang's troops had wiped out all the pirates in Fusang.

But the pirates of Fusang never disappeared.

The pirates who emerged from behind were all arranged by Wu Guang.

It has been nearly four years since he opened the sea, and he has already seen clearly the face of the Yayoi Dynasty.

If you talk about other barbarians, you can still feel a little bit unsure.

Then the Yayoi Dynasty is the standard fear of power but not morality, and the whole country has an inexplicable pride.

To deal with this kind of country, you need to leave an excuse. As long as the other party does something wrong, just turn over the excuse and beat it up.

Therefore, there is only one Fusang in Daqin Dongfang, and Wu Guang arranged it clearly.

East, west, north, south, look around, are invincible.

In this case, when building a city, what is the need to increase the city wall?
Guangnan City is located in the center of Daqin, adjacent to the South China Sea Port, and is the most perfect business gathering point in Daqin.

Therefore, Zhao Kun positioned it as a business capital.

This giant city not only canceled the city wall, but also planned strictly according to the residential area, commercial area, industrial area and other sections for the first time.

After the success of Pinyang's commercial housing, Zhao Kun played new tricks in Guangnan City.

Guangnan City has four districts, east, west, south, and north. As the main construction party, Fan Kui followed Zhao Kun's project guidebook and abandoned the previous division of north and south based on azimuth, and divided them according to nobles, wealthy merchants, and commoners.

According to the different scenery and surrounding environment of each urban area, he divided the communities into three, six, and nine levels for construction.

The several large villa areas outside the city, surrounded by mountains and rivers, sold for sky-high prices.

Don't think that no one will buy it.

Fan Kuai just took out the drawings, and the noble and wealthy merchants all over the country waved bank drafts and sent the money over.

Those who are close have to queue up, and those who are not related, want to send money?

Go away!
Therefore, Guangnan City has not yet been completed, and the money that the court invested in this huge project has already recovered half of it.

Xianyang, the political capital, is the political center of the Great Qin Dynasty.

When Zhao Kun issued this order, at the same time, there was also a plan to relocate the factory.

In the past few years, many factories have been built in Guanzhong, although this place has become the heart of Daqin's economic development, continuously sending blood to all parts of the country.

But as time went by, the disadvantages gradually appeared.

First of all, highlight the most serious, is the environmental problem.

Because there was no unified plan at the beginning, factories can be opened wherever they want.

As a result, several highly polluting factories such as paper mills, fabric factories and even coal storage factories have opened beside the Weishui River.

In the past few years, the fertility of the land in Guanzhong has been weakening year by year at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The Academy of Sciences has written several times, requesting to relocate unreasonable factories, but it has been suppressed by Zhao Kun.

The main reason is that these factories have now formed a very good linkage system.

Hastily split, the impact is huge.

If you want to relocate, the best solution is to relocate as a whole.

However, no suitable place has been found before, and the construction of Guangnan City is the best opportunity.

The factory relocation plan took two years to complete successively.

By then, Xianyang will become a purely functional capital.

Zhao Kun officially ascended the throne, and many new measures he was planning were implemented one by one.

In addition to what was said before the opening, there are also some small actions that are no longer within the focus of the common people.

For example, the court loosened control over newspapers and allowed private newspapers to run.

Only merchants will pay attention to this matter.

The newspaper in charge of the court was renamed the National Affairs Times, and in the future it will focus on publishing information related to important national events.

Since the establishment of this newspaper, it has gone through six years of ups and downs.

From the beginning, it was only sold in one place in Guanzhong, and so far it has spread to the entire territory of Daqin.

Even among the countries in the Western Regions, there are also sales, but the information is relatively lagging behind.

For ordinary people, newspapers are the main channel for them to learn about national affairs.

However, those merchants valued the huge influence of the newspaper.

In order to support merchants, Zhao Kun started the advertising era of Daqin Commercial Bank.

Businessmen's understanding of the word hawking has now broken through the sky.

Even now, in Daqin, there have been some products that specialize in pretending to be ugly, attracting people's attention, and relying on black and red to promote.

In this regard, businessmen have no limit at all.

In the past, there was only one publicity channel.

In order to win attention, everyone naturally exaggerated and did it. It is not shameful to make money and lose face.

Now, Chaotang has opened up the operating authority of private newspapers.

Almost the next day, hundreds of commercial firms applied to the Market Supervision Bureau for the establishment of newspapers.

One of these commercial firms counts as one, and they are all super-large merchants in the whole country and even overseas.

The main content of their application is also varied, most of which are related to the industry they operate.

For example, Pap, which sells ceramic toilets, applied for the establishment of a newspaper with a simple and straightforward name, "Barrel News".

You can guess what will be published in this newspaper.

The reason why the applicants for the establishment of the newspaper are all registered firms is because these people know very well.

They all claim that their newspapers are distributed free of charge and will not be charged.

In fact, it is more similar to leaflets.

After the report was delivered to Zhao Kun, Zhao Kun was with Chen Ping.

Seeing Zhao Kun smile after reading the report, Chen Ping couldn't help being curious.

"Does Your Majesty have any opinion on this matter?" Chen Ping asked.

Zhao Kun waved his hand and said with a smile: "Although these merchants are very shrewd, they only use newspapers as a tool. I gave them such a sharp weapon, but they let the magic weapon be dusted, isn't it ridiculous?"

Chen Ping shook his head, expressing his difficulty in understanding.

Chen Ping handled all the affairs of the State Times before.

Therefore, when it comes to the specific data in the newspaper's operation process, he knows better than Zhao Kun.

Chen Ping admitted that as long as a newspaper has established credibility, it will almost stand in the leading position of public opinion.

From this perspective, the newspaper is indeed an artifact.

But the premise of all this is that there must be corresponding credibility.

If the State Affairs Times had not been endorsed by the court, it would have been difficult to develop so quickly.

Moreover, don't look at the great influence of the National Times.

But this newspaper has always been a loser.

The State Times is a newspaper that attaches great importance to timeliness. In order to ensure this timeliness, Chen Ping deliberately established a news delivery system throughout Daqin.

In addition, each county in Daqin has a printing factory that specializes in printing newspapers.

The input cost of this part alone is huge.

The annual maintenance fee is also expensive.

Although the National Times has a large circulation, it has not yet made a profit.

The price of the newspaper was mentioned again and again, but it was still beyond the means.

This news was naturally inquired by the merchants.

Therefore, they will be so straightforward.

To get the newspaper issue, for them, it is to get an extra channel of publicity for their goods.

How to post, what content to post, and how much to post are all up to you.

In fact, Chen Ping himself felt that for now, this was the only way to go.

But Zhao Kun didn't see it that way.

The magical effect of newspapers is far from being discovered in Daqin today.

If it is determined according to the standards of court newspapers like the State Affairs Times, then any newspaper will definitely not make money.

Opening up the restrictions on running newspapers, Zhao Kun's original intention was to further liberate the minds of the people of Daqin.

Today, the Daqin Academy is on the right track, and the progress of the integration of hundreds of schools is getting faster and faster.

In a few years, the name of the School of Hundred Schools may disappear, and it will be shown as an integral part of Chinese civilization.

School barriers disappear, and civilization develops further.

In Zhao Kun's view, the time has come for the implementation of ideological emancipation.

After the first five-year development plan, the living standards of the people in Daqin continued to improve.

Coupled with the popularization of compulsory education, open the wisdom of the people.

Many people face a problem, that is, an extreme sense of separation between old ideas and new cognition.

For example, the Market Supervision Bureau allowed the establishment of construction firms.

Registering a firm actually doesn't cost much at all.

It stands to reason that for the common people who were engaged in this field before, construction firms are a golden opportunity for class leapfrogging.

However, in fact, not to mention ordinary people, even those nobles and wealthy businessmen are afraid to move forward.

Except for Fan Kuai, no one dared to be a construction firm.

Even with Daqin Construction Group, a huge government engineering firm, as the cornerstone, not many people dare to set foot in construction firms.

The main reason is that this kind of thing has always been led by the court before.

The people below just do their work, and they are in danger of losing their heads at every turn.

Long-term experience tells them that this job is not done by humans at all.

In fact?

After Fan Kuai's construction firm was established, it spread across Xianyang, Luoyi, and Guangnan, making money and making money.

When some wealthy businessmen react and want to enter the industry again.

They found that skilled workers, as well as stable cooperation channels and supply channels, were basically monopolized by Fan Kuai.

They entered the arena at this time, and they could only eat leftovers.

Even so, those who entered the market later earned a lot of money.

Today, the various systems and hardware facilities of Daqin have been extremely perfect.

If Zhao Kun is most dissatisfied, it is the way of thinking of the common people, which has not turned around.

In the early unification of China, in order to maintain the rule of the court, Yingzheng chose to continue the practice of using harsh criminal laws.

As a result, the common people were scared out of their wits by that set.

Therefore, although they are gradually feeling it now, the previous constraints have been slowly loosened.

However, this change in concept cannot be accomplished overnight.

Zhao Kun still remembers that the newly opened ironworks in Guanzhong were struggling.

It's not that the things they produce are of poor quality, but because no one dares to use them.

At the beginning, Yingzheng issued a decree that the people were not allowed to privately own ironware, not to mention kitchen knives, and even daily necessities such as iron pots were shared by the people of a mile.

Although that period was short, as long as the common people experienced it, their memories are still fresh.

They have seen with their own eyes the tragedy of being seated for a mile for violating this law.

Even in the eyes of Ying Zheng later, the law at the beginning was a complete joke.

But you are not joking, Ying Zheng can't save face and change it directly.

We can only pay attention to officials at all levels below and lift this restriction in private.

However, the common people admit that death is justified, and they refuse to live or die.

This kind of thing can't be ignored.

After all, if there is a slight carelessness, it will be a big event that hundreds of people will lose their heads.

Even after Zhao Kun persuaded Ying Zheng to cancel the previous law in the name of the emperor.

There are also many places that gradually adapted to the new regulations after a long time.

Fear is something that can be rooted deep in the heart.

Some of Yingzheng's previous methods were too harsh, so that now the people of Daqin are somewhat psychologically shadowed.

Opening up newspapers is a policy specifically formulated by Zhao Kun to change this situation.

However, looking at it so far, it seems that it was led astray by those merchants.

Zhao Kun flipped through the report in his hand, then pulled out the two reports and put them aside.

Generally, the memorials treated by him in this way will be followed up.

Chen Ping picked it up and saw that they were two relatively unique newspaper declaration forms.

One is "Minsheng Daily", which is mainly a newspaper for some short and trivial matters encountered by parents.

The other one is "Journal of Hundred Schools", which is a newspaper that Su Liya intends to produce in conjunction with many colleges of the Daqin Academy.

Chen Ping took a quick glance and found that the two newspapers were of different types, and they were completely different from the National Times.

However, according to his experience, the content of these two newspapers has no market at all.

One is that the parents are short-sighted, and the other is that it is too professional and the audience is too small.

Zhao Kun smiled without saying a word.

No matter how genius Chen Ping was, he probably couldn't understand things that hadn't appeared before.

In fact, "Minsheng Daily" is the real news newspaper, lace gossip, all kinds of things in the world, these things are the people's favorite content.

As for "Baijia Gazette", Zhao Kun has already seen the shadow of some academic journals.

With these two newspapers, this matter is not a loss.

Facing Chen Ping's question, Zhao Kun smiled without saying a word.

He needs this era to develop in the direction he wants, and the core of development is to emancipate the mind and create the future.

Waiting for the day when the future is truly powerful will be the sea of ​​stars.

Now is just the beginning.
