This issue is also known as the topic of menstruation when the Senate meets. No matter how many times the "Majia Proceedings" have been implemented, marriage with indigenous people and the ensuing inheritance rights of children, indigenous rights, education issues, etc. are called enduring
is an old topic. Not only do all parties advocate opposition, but they are also tit for tat.
"That's it -" Xun Suji began to think about it. It didn't matter anything else. If he was not included in the "alternative" list because he was married to an indigenous woman, it would be a bit more gain than loss.
"You should think about it again. To be honest, you are not busy with this matter. Besides, don't you have a secretary?" Mo Xiao'an said, "I think you are not busy for the time being. The Senate will hold a plenary meeting soon. You are responsible for this matter.
Proposal, and then everyone will argue in the Senate. There will definitely be a conclusion in the end."
"What if the conclusion is no?" Xun Suji was a little worried, he already liked Liu Meilan a little bit.
"I think most people are definitely willing." Mo Xiao'an said, "Why? You should judge yourself and others. Do you think everyone will prevent themselves from marrying a beautiful girl as their wife?"
No matter how many people say that they are not very interested in indigenous women, a girl who comes from a landowner family is certainly more attractive than a girl who comes from an ordinary poor family. In addition, she also has a sense of face satisfaction.
"I thought that after the Maid Revolution, these things would be done by everyone." Xun Suji expressed dissatisfaction when he heard that marriage would have to be discussed in the Senate.
Mo Xiao'an smiled: "I think the Senate has discussed it better. No one has anything to say from now on." He probably felt that this was not appropriate and coughed: "Let's get down to business, let's talk about new export commodities."
"To export goods, we still have to focus on cheap bulk products." Zhou Dongtian said, "Most of the industrial products in Lingao now have no economies of scale, so it is difficult to impact the market with prices."
Without any impact on price, relying only on "fantastic skills", it will eventually become just a new luxury product. This can be seen in the results of the various industrial products they sell to the mainland. In the end, they can be sold in large quantities
Only needles and paper have formed a consumer market for export. These two have completely destroyed the old market structure due to their cheapness and quantity.
"What kind of commodities destroyed the small-scale peasant economy in the primary stage of capitalism?" Xun Suji thought hard about the political economics courses he had studied. "It seems to be textiles? Mass-produced machine cloth destroyed hand-made cloth..."
"Is this valuable to us? Songjiang cloth is already cheap enough. Besides, even if we start a mechanized textile factory immediately, it will take a long time to reach the level of dumping. There is also the issue of cotton." Mo Xiaoan said,
"The executive committee's intention now is to build an export scale in a short period of time."
"I have something that can be effective in a short time." Zhou Dongtian said, "Books. I mentioned this suggestion last time. The price of books in this time and space is too high. There is a lot of room for price reduction, and the market demand
It’s also very big.”
"What literacy rate can the indigenous people have? Thirty percent is amazing."
"I don't know about this, but scholars in ancient times seemed to regard buying and collecting books as a big deal, which shows that books are hard to come by. The market potential is huge." Zhou Dongtian said, "Last year, I helped Little Bear print some books and give them to the county.
The old boy regarded his teachings as a treasure. Later, he bought some books for Moli Xuan to use as a library, and Liu Dalin was extremely grateful."
The library of Molixuan contains less than 300 books in total. In modern times, it is not even on the level of a street library, but in ancient times, this was considered a huge cultural wealth.
"But I always don't have time to do it - there are too many part-time tasks. This time I will completely settle the matter of the movable type printing factory. But Lao Mo, you have to help me deal with the people in the machinery factory who want to do movable type printing.
The factory requires a complete set of equipment. There is also the Planning Institute, which consumes a lot of resources."
"Didn't you already have a printing house? It printed a lot of textbooks and books. Where's the newspaper in Lingao? I don't think it's made by hand-engraving steel plates?"
"That was printed with a high-speed mimeograph machine." Zhou Dongtian smiled, "Some of them were printed with lithographs."
"Mimeograph machine? This is impossible. Your printed textbooks and newspapers... are all printed very delicately, just like those produced by regular printing plants."
Zhou Dongtian shook his finger: "Printing, do you understand?" He explained that the machine he brought was a commercial high-speed mimeograph machine. It was not the hand-engraved stencil paper that is then coated with ink and then printed by hand.
A crude device that printed things that were blurry and easily faded—that kind of thing was also called a mimeograph machine, but it was two different things from the equipment he brought with him.
"The printing effect of the equipment we make ourselves cannot be compared with this fast mimeograph machine." He said, "However, modern equipment cannot escape the issue of lifespan. Although I have brought a lot of spare parts, I will continue to use it like this.
Sooner or later it will be finished - there are too many things to be printed. So this time I suggest that we must build a new printing factory."
“I am very supportive!”
"Support is support, this matter is not that easy to handle." Zhou Dongtian explained that the printing factory needs to manufacture special equipment, as well as a large amount of metals such as lead, copper, steel, and many workers - workers
Special training is required.
"It takes about three to four months for a printing factory to build production capacity."
"It still took a long time." Mo Xiao'an thought this was something that could only be handled by a single leader.
"It's fast enough." Zhou Dongtian said, "This is based on the fact that we have a complete set of industrial systems and material support. If a few of us were to travel naked, it would take at least two or three years."
"I'll type up the report right away!" Mo Xiao'an said excitedly, "I don't know if there are any typesetters in Guangzhou."
"It should be true. Although China's movable type printing has never been common, it still exists in some low-end applications. Guangzhou's Di newspaper and the like are just movable type - to be honest, it's pretty bad. No wonder many foreigners don't recognize the Chinese
He invented movable type printing. It’s not on the same level at all.”
"The foreign devils still don't admit that we invented gunpowder."
"Gunpowder was invented by the Chinese. It is now the mainstream view. Except for a few historians with white supremacy tendencies, they still claim that Bacon invented it. But when it comes to the concept of printing, I am a little embarrassed to be honest. Modern
The technology of printing basically has nothing to do with China. If anything, the concept of block printing and the use of movable type should be regarded as invented by the Chinese." Zhou Dongtian said, "Let's not worry about this, let's talk about what books to print first.
Okay. To start printing movable type, we must first make movable type. The amount of movable type is very large. I need to have a basic concept."
"I just don't know what books to print that will sell well," Mo Xiao'an thought for a moment, "Confucian classics such as the Four Books and Five Classics should be the best sellers, right?"
Xun Suji said: "It must be the best seller, but the competition must be fierce. There are too many people printing."
"Competition is the best - we just dump it at low prices..." Zhou Dongtian said, "Once we reach a large scale, the cost advantage of our books will not be matched by traditional woodblock printing."
"In fact, it is better to print "Journey to the West", "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and "Water Margin". These three books were published in the Ming Dynasty, so they will definitely sell well. As for the version, I will use the electronic manuscript of the People's Literature Edition as the manuscript. The People's Literature Edition is an elite version.
If it is well proofread and has few typos, it will definitely be a sensation when printed." The late Ming Dynasty was an era of active publishing. There were many kinds of books, and recreational books began to account for the majority of booksellers' publishing sales.
"'A Dream of Red Mansions' should also be popular." Mo Xiao'an said, "And it doesn't violate taboos. Anyway, there is no dynasty to test."
"It's better to forget about "Dream of Red Mansions", otherwise there will be many people rushing to be the author. Everyone wants to sign." Zhou Dongtian said, "Last time I printed the "Thirteen Classics Qing Dynasty Annotations Series", there were
Several of them want to become authors of books and become contemporary great Confucians."
"This is blatant piracy."
"I don't think we should publish the works of later generations for the time being. We should first publish works from the Ming Dynasty and before the Ming Dynasty. Some of the works compiled by the Qing Dynasty can also be published. For example, "Three Hundred Tang Poems", "Complete Tang Poems" and so on."
"You guys are so uncreative!" Xun Suji was not very interested in this, and suddenly thought of a good idea, "I don't think there's any need to print anything else. Let's print a few thousand Japanese books first.
Or Hong Kong. Print some of the white and black girls, and you can sell them to Europe in the future..." He swallowed, "If you think the scale is too big, just print a photo album of Japanese actresses. Even if the hair is not exposed,
The portraits made even the great Ming Dynasty scholars make their noses bleed when they saw them."
He increasingly felt that his creativity was astonishingly good: "There must be a huge amount of this kind of reserve in the hands of veterans. Besides, we have digital cameras, computers, and professionals who know PS. We can make our own "Penthouse" by ourselves."
A magazine like this. Don’t we like women with small feet in this era? We might as well create a magazine called "Bu Bu Sheng Lian", which will publish close-up photos of various models with small feet..."
Mo Xiao'an was still laughing at first, but when she heard that she was going to publish a magazine about women with small feet, she couldn't help frowning: "It's so disgusting, I want to vomit when I hear it. You might as well wear black stockings! Why do we cater to this bad habit? We were originally
It is to revolutionize society. Besides, ancient society was very feudal and conservative. How big a market will you have if you do this?"
"The market is not a problem. You must know that most of the classical porn/erotic/novel came from the Ming Dynasty - it can be seen that there was a great demand for this kind of consumption during this period. Xiaoxun, your creativity is very good - but there is a fatal problem.
"Zhou Dongtian said, "We can't handle the technical paper and ink for printing color pictures. Now I can use a scanner and a laser/inkjet printer to make a few copies for you. But I can't do it in large quantities."
Xun Suji was a little disappointed, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "How about H comics? Just use lines to express it! Black and white lines, skilled carvers can make engravings! Japanese H comics should be more in line with the aesthetic taste of the Chinese people, right?
.The American comics are too crude, and the depictions are of ghosts and ghosts, so Mingren should not be interested in them.”
He continued to talk about his plans for publishing h-comics, with the same interest as when he was talking about h-magazine: "As for the selection of materials, I can just look at the general ones - the style of painting should be more beautiful. As for tentacles, human beings, ghosts and animals, sm.
I'm afraid the taste is too strong, and people from the Ming Dynasty may not be interested in it."
"Not necessarily. There is still some perverted stuff in Jin Ping Mei. I think SM should also have a market, just soft ones." Mo Xiao'an was also aroused to talk, "Actually, there should be a huge market for BL's H-comics."
"Are there many rotten girls in the Ming Dynasty?"
"No, I heard that men are generally masculine in this era, and they generally like handsome boys who look like women. In BL's H comics, the little girl is drawn to be more feminine than a woman, which will definitely appeal to the rich people of Ming Dynasty.
.”
"How do you know so many BL things?" Zhou Dongtian suddenly asked.
"Well, well, well, actually, I dated a fujoshi..." Mo Xiao'an quickly defended her innocence and there was absolutely no issue with her orientation.
"Of course it is possible to publish comics, but it is very time-consuming." Zhou Dongtian did not pursue the question further, "Actually, there is a simpler way, just lithographic printing. This depends on how quickly we can train plate-making workers. It can only be considered in the long term.
"
This proposal to establish a movable type printing plant and engage in large-scale book printing did not attract much attention from the industrial sector after it was submitted to the Planning Institute - for the industrial sector, this is just a matter of manufacturing a few simple machines, and it is not very difficult -
-On the contrary, it attracted the attention of both the big library and the cultural department.
The focus is nothing more than the types of books printed. Of course, they are also concerned about more than just "signature".
Benefiting from cheap paper and printing costs, once Lingao's books are published on a large scale and flow to the market, they are bound to have an impact on the culture that is no less than the use of Gutenberg's printing press in medieval Europe. Not only various people in the field of traditional thought
This kind of books will be popularized on a large scale, and all kinds of practical books and literary and artistic works will flood into thousands of households.
With cheap printing, there is no need for time-travelers to compile any deviant ideological works - Huang Zongxi's thoughts are enough; there is no need to reshape modern technology, the rediscovery of ancient Chinese scientific and technological works that were buried is enough to trigger a stir in the entire society. "Let a hundred flowers bloom".
The late Ming Dynasty was originally a period of gradual "liberalization" of social thoughts, and the Chuanchuan Group took this opportunity to add fuel to this trend of thought - disrupting the Ming Dynasty in the ideological field, or rather the social thoughts of traditional society.
Yu Eshui's plan also included the intention of compiling and publishing a large number of vernacular pamphlets for publicity. In the previous stage, he compiled "Records of the Atrocities of Uming" and recently compiled "Records of the Atrocities of Zheng Ni" and "Records of the Atrocities of Liu Bandits". If this kind of political pamphlet could be distributed in large quantities to Ming society, the effect would be very significant.
In the long run, the various political opinions of the Crossing Group can be distributed in the form of pamphlets. Pamphlets can elaborate theories and events in a systematic and detailed manner, which is far more effective than spreading simple rumors. Moreover, pamphlets can be stored for a long time. Legend has it that the effects of a single spread can last for many years.
Tintin is very supportive of this plan. He is no longer satisfied with publishing a few newspapers and internal magazines, and has begun to intervene in the ideological field. The publishing industry is a piece of fat that he has long been optimistic about. The current publishing industry may only print textbooks. , science and technology manuals or political propaganda pamphlets, after ten or twenty years, a new generation of indigenous young people will grow up, and their demand for books will grow explosively.
Therefore, he was very enthusiastic about Zhou Dongtian's plan. He actively advocated and supported the establishment of a large-scale movable type printing factory at the State Council, and requested the establishment of a publishing group under the Ministry of Culture.
However, Yu Eshui from the Grand Library firmly opposed it. He said that in terms of the type and quality of book resources, it is most reasonable for the Grand Library to be responsible for the book publishing business. After all, colleagues from the Grand Library are in contact with various industries every day. He has in-depth research on the content and version of books, and has natural advantages in selecting topics, additions, deletions, revisions and editing - and he also has certain experience. Even if the Ministry of Culture establishes a publishing house, there are still needs in the business field Rather than relying on multiple agencies to assist the big library, it is better to directly entrust the big library to publish.
"As for the publisher's signature, it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter whether it's called Sanlian Bookstore or Commercial Press. It's just a name anyway."
Tintin was finally forced to give in - after all, the resources were in the big library. If the other party had a grudge, it would be difficult for him to become famous even if he had a name. In the end, he accepted the plan to establish a "Publication Steering Group". This unusual setting The organization is mainly responsible for the selection of book publishing topics and the demonstration of revised plans. It is composed of Ding Ding, a representative of the Ministry of Culture, Yu Eshui, a representative of the Great Library, and Zhou Dongtian, the director of the printing factory.
With the promotion of all parties, new publishing and printing institutions began to operate. Zhou Dongtian began to establish a new printing enterprise.
Zhou Dongtian's small printing factory is located in Bairen City. Although it is small in scale, the treatment it enjoys is at the same level as Lingao Telecom Company. It is a first-level key department. In the past, it was even located in the Executive Committee compound.
Even now it occupies a separate courtyard. The gate is locked all day long. Anyone has to ring the bell first, and then a small opening will be revealed in the door, and visitors must show their ID to enter. The security is so tight not only because the courtyard is full of
It owns most of the printing equipment and equipment of Chuanchuan Group, and it is also responsible for printing circulation coupons and various official documents.
As soon as you enter the courtyard gate, there is a big no fireworks sign painted on the screen wall. There is a black slogan: No smoking! No fireworks! There is ink and paper everywhere. If it burns, it will be too late to put out the fire. There is a special repair station in the office.
There is a water storage tank equipped with a manual water pump, buckets and many sandbags. There are also several fire extinguishers removed from the ship. Zhou Dongtian has been wondering if he can get better water pumping equipment - fire extinguishers have a shelf life
