Daming Jingtai: I am the eternal benevolent king

Chapter 477 Post-War Recovery: Film and Television Prosperity ()
In the tenth year of Chongzhen, the Ming Dynasty ushered in a new era.

The world's first man-made satellite was launched into the sky. On June 19, the 10th year of Chongzhen, the Ming Dynasty held its first world television broadcast.

The live broadcast content is a celebration party, a celebration party for the successful satellite launch.

The next day, Emperor Chongzhen gave a two-hour speech, which was broadcast live on television.

This is the first time the world has watched the program live on television.

In the past, it was recorded and broadcasted, and the TV tower was used to receive the signal. This is the first time it is broadcast live and can be watched by the whole world.

Ming Dynasty officially entered the satellite era.

While studying satellites, they are also studying a new type of secret weapon.

Ratings also appeared.

On the day Emperor Chongzhen delivered his speech, it was estimated that 92 billion TV sets were watching it at the same time.

The most interesting thing is that the imperial court counted the sales figures of TV sets. There were only 52 billion TV sets sold in the world.

Where did the extra 40 billion come from?
All TV manufacturers must have turned on all TVs and added inflated numbers to make this number appear.

Moreover, people who make statistics do not use their brains. Who would believe such numbers that are fake at first glance?

The court really believed it!

The current chief minister, Ye Xianggao, also commended the statistics department.

It wasn't until the people ridiculed Ye Xianggao that he didn't know how to count that the imperial court realized it and disposed of the ruling department, and Ye Xianggao also resigned from the prime minister.

Even today in Ming Dynasty, TV sets are very expensive.

A brand-name black and white TV in the smallest size costs more than 4000 yuan, while a color TV in the smallest size costs over yuan.

For a family of two workers in a small city, one month's salary is enough to buy a 13-inch black and white TV.

In the Tianqi Dynasty, those who had a TV at home were already considered good families.

By the time of the Chongzhen Dynasty, only the upper-class families had color TV sets at home. Basically, every household could afford a black-and-white TV. No matter how big the screen was, there was bound to be one.

Speaking of people's lives.

During the Chongzhen Dynasty, the economy returned to that of the Hongzhi Dynasty, and it took another step toward extreme prosperity on top of the peak of the Ming Dynasty.

This extreme prosperity is essentially driven by the electrical revolution. Everything among the people must be updated, which promotes economic development and prosperity among the people.

Especially after the heightening in the north, the temperature in the south is hot. If there was no air conditioning, there would have been a rebellion long ago. Fortunately, air conditioning was invented.

In order to quell the anger of the people in the south, the electric power company has not dared to raise electricity prices and has not dared to cut off power during peak electricity consumption periods.

Thanks to air conditioning, the heat problem in the south has been solved.

The real footnote of the electric power revolution is that commonly used electrical appliances are promoted to the public, which not only promotes economic development, but also makes people's lives more convenient.

The electrical revolution was closely followed by the technological revolution. The soul of the technological revolution, the computer, had already appeared.

It is expected to enter the market within twenty years.

During the Chongzhen Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty returned to its peak.

The world has fallen into a bourgeois trap. The harder you work, the poorer you become. Even state-owned enterprises in major vassal states are facing the same dilemma. What is going on?

Tracing back to the origin, Ming Yuan is used all over the world.

The Ming Dynasty used appreciation and depreciation to draw water from the world into the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty became a natural financial market, siphoning all the capital in the world. It is equivalent to saying that all the money in the world is in the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, behind the extreme prosperity of the Ming Dynasty is the performance of water pumping.

In the twelfth year of Chongzhen, the Z26 Summit proposed that all countries have the right to issue their own national currencies, but the Ming Dynasty rejected it.

Emperor Chongzhen's phone call directly stated that the Ming Yuan's status as the world's currency must not be shaken. The only result of shaking is war!

Moreover, the Ming Yuan was the world's currency, which was a rule that had been established since the Jingtai Dynasty. It was also the only condition for the major vassals to obtain land enfeoffments.

Even though a hundred years have passed, various countries have challenged Ming's hegemony twice.

Only economic hegemony is not allowed to be challenged.

When Zhang Juzheng was prime minister, in order to revive the Ming Dynasty's economy, he proposed to restore the post-war economy at the expense of war.

For thirty years, Ming Dynasty devoted itself to restoring its economy.

By the seventh year of Chongzhen, it had been accomplished. By the twelfth year of Chongzhen, the Ming Dynasty's economy had opened its own new era.

But the world is poor.

As a result, capital from various countries poured into Ming Dynasty to invest, and Ming Dynasty further prospered.

Therefore, each major vassal country wanted to issue its own national currency.

To be honest, using Ming Yuan has one advantage for all vassal states, that is, it can attract the Ming Dynasty consortium to invest in various countries at any time, and the whole world can be connected as one.

Two world wars challenged Ming's hegemony.

After that, Ming Yuan was still used. This is why all countries need cash to restore their economies after the war. They also need to break down world trade barriers and promote economic globalization.

Over the past twenty years, Ming Dynasty has gradually shaken off its post-war decline and moved towards revival, and the world economy has been improving.

Suddenly, the Ming Dynasty suddenly ran wild after a long period of accumulation, and the major vassal states began to retreat.

Emperor Chongzhen knew very well that the core reason why Ming Dynasty still stood firm despite being challenged for its hegemony twice was: Ming Yuan!
It has to be said that Emperor Jingtai had a terrible strategic vision.

The vassal states wanted nothing but the Ming Yuan as the world currency, and then they controlled the Middle East and linked the paper currency Ming Yuan to oil.

This alone allowed Ming to dominate the world for a hundred years. The major vassal states are now belatedly canceling the use of their own currencies in the Ming and Yuan Dynasties. It's a beautiful idea. You have enjoyed the benefits, but you have suffered the bad fruit and want to take it back?

The wool comes from the sheep!
A few years ago, Ming helped you divide the world, nurture you, and help you restore the post-war economy. The core purpose is to wait for today's harvest!

Not allowed to collect?

Then let the war begin!

The Z26 Summit is held almost every six months, causing a stir in the 2600th year of Chongzhen. The per capita income of Ming Dynasty exceeded yuan!
Households with a net worth of over 4000 million yuan have reached 1.3 million households, households with a net worth of over 7 million yuan have reached million households, and households with a net worth of over million yuan have reached million households.

There are 1.7 million people with per capita net deposits reaching one million yuan, 2.9 million people with per capita net deposits of 9.2 yuan, and million people with per capita net deposits of yuan.

This number is several times higher than the seven years of Chongzhen.

Moreover, people in the Ming Dynasty did not have the habit of saving money, and there was more hot money in the market.

All industries reached extreme prosperity.

The most prosperous one is definitely the entertainment industry.

The film and television industry, which was born out of the earliest stage plays and musicals industry, has been in existence for 60 years. Now it has become a big phenomenon and is the core project of Ming Dynasty.

The Jiajing Dynasty was the peak of the development of the film and television industry, and many traditional masterpieces were put on television.

The number of TV stations sold during the Jiajing Dynasty was the highest ever.

The film and television industry also developed rapidly at that time.

By the Chongzhen Dynasty, there were tens of millions of books in the Ming Dynasty, and most of them could be adapted for the screen. This also showed in disguise the extreme development of the film and television industry in the Ming Dynasty.

Because the whole world has the same culture.

After a film and television drama is filmed, it will target a huge market of 140 billion people.

You can imagine how much money you will make.

The founder of the entertainment industry is Emperor Jingtai.

He liked many entertainment projects. The existing entertainment programs have more or less the shadow of Emperor Jingtai, because the Jingtai Dynasty produced too many masterpieces.

The masterpieces of the Ming Dynasty cannot be calculated in single digits, but in hundreds. List of the top 100 masterpieces.

This also results in resource dispersion.

If we just study the four great classics for hundreds of years, the resulting text will be millions of words. We still haven’t fully understood a book, which will make everyone familiar with the four great classics.

When the top 100 masterpieces appear and hundreds of masterpieces compete for the list, it promotes commercial writing and prevents the birth of real masterpieces.

There are fewer people doing research, fewer derivatives, scattered resources, insufficient exposure, and other factors, resulting in no particularly popular works.

There are no super out-of-the-box works like Red Mansions, Water Margin, Journey to the West, and Three Kingdoms.

So is the film and television industry.

There are so many film and television works. In the era when there was no live TV broadcast, the film and television market was extremely prosperous by relying solely on discs. Three to five TV series and five to ten movies were produced almost every day.

After the invention of television, without satellites, we could only receive signals from nearby TV stations. We could only watch local stations, and the programs were very scarce.

This led to the birth of DVD, and optical discs were about to be released.

This also contributed to the development of disc film and television.

Film and television dramas did not develop by relying on the big screen, live broadcast, or TV station signals, but by discs.

Of course, this was also the era when pirates were most prevalent.

It also gave many film and television companies a taste of the sweetness.

Today's big companies basically started with discs. Compared with selling to TV stations, the cost of distributing discs is relatively low, and there are fewer restrictions.

There are many restrictions on broadcasting on TV stations.

Of course, the discs must also be reviewed and strictly graded.

The reason why there are few restrictions is that TV stations have more political considerations and want to broadcast some positive programs. Some stories with commercial elements are not suitable for broadcast on TV stations. Another reason is that TV stations have limited funds.

Because the TV station is a private enterprise.

That's right, Daming TV Station is actually a private enterprise. It's not that the court didn't think about holding a controlling stake, but it was too expensive. The economy was so bad at that time, Zhang Juzheng cut off the TV station business. Except for a few core TV stations, they were not sold, and the local stations were basically Disposed of.

But the imperial court has to hold shares, and the shares cannot be less than a certain percentage. This is a condition for selling the TV station.

To be honest, until today, local TV stations have not made much money, and the dividends from the court are there.

On the contrary, Datai was profitable, making so much money that even the imperial court was jealous and regretted selling it!
Every day, courtiers go to court to take back their shares, take back their shares!

Compared with TV stations that have more restrictions and are not willing to pay easily, it is more profitable to release discs. This trend was still a trend caused by songs, and was later invaded by film and television companies.

It can be said that Ming Dynasty has a thirty-year disc history.

Both generations grew up watching CDs.

Even during the Chongzhen Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty was already very open and prosperous, but all information was still relatively conservative, at least in the thinking of the court.

When it comes to film and television ratings, there is nothing that passes the line.

The emperor who makes the final decision is an old man who cannot accept new trendy ideas.

The disc economy promoted the prosperity of the film and television market, and also added a strong touch to the extremely prosperous Chongzhen era of the Ming Dynasty.
