If you want to get technical support, you have to develop education vigorously. It's a very egalitarian relationship. Why Germany was able to rise so quickly. To a large extent. They focus on technology. The same is true, in order to develop education, the Qin State has made a big deal of convenience. Education is not just about development, it's about large-scale application. In terms of small and medium-sized enterprises, Qin Guo has done a very good job. And Han Shu still didn't realize this. He believed that the development of the Qin state was only an accidental development of a few technologies.
Moreover, South Korea's financial situation does not allow her to concentrate part of her energy on education. The situation simply does not work. Rich children are unwilling to learn, and children without rich families can't learn. That's the reality.
Sangwen didn't know what South Korea thought. But he knew. Next is the difficulty of Qin's reform.
Shangwen has to levy a luxury and waste tax on the people. This tax is aimed at the increasingly fierce pomp and comparison of the Qin State. In order to achieve the purpose of changing customs. It is imperative to simplify the various ceremonies.
Shang Wen's intention is to form a consensus through free discussion among the people, and to reach the greatest support for this change of behavior. Civilization is not just a government initiative. What is needed for this is a lot of civil support. The people are the foundation. Shang Wen did not want the government's advocacy to become a huge counter-thrust. This thrust can in turn bring about a huge counterforce. In order to counteract this reaction force. That's why it is necessary for the people to discuss freely and reach a consensus.
"This proposal is going to be submitted to the Taxation Committee for discussion. And the copies of various plans allow the people to have ample discussion. Shang Wen said to Meng Yi.
"In addition, we are amending the Holiday Gifts Act. We need to make the value of the gift and the value of the gift money all clearly planned, and it is best to cancel it clearly. Shang Wen added.
"Does this also need to be discussed by the people?" Meng Yi asked.
"I guess so. After all, we want the people to have their own thinking power. We have big things to do. Shang Wen thinks very long-term, that is, to set up a parliament-like organization to exercise legislative power. In this way, the government can reduce some of the work pressure. To be honest, Shang Wen's duties as prime minister have been carrying such a heavy burden. But with the development of Qin's economy getting faster and faster. A lot of things are out of the way. The government is increasingly chaotic in the exercise of his duties and the exercise of another legislative power. This mixture of the two made Shang Wen a little confused. Although the legislative power can be done very well, it is also a different responsibility. This responsibility has made the prime minister's office, which is already highly stressed, even more strained. Shang Wen wanted to use this incident to fully mobilize the enthusiasm and rights of the people to participate in politics. Let them assume the legislative power.
"Regarding the problem of South Korea, I think we can agree to export some technical equipment, mainly light industry, those factories that mass-produce shoes and clothing, these factories have lost some of their advantages in the Qin State, and if they continue, I am afraid, these factories need government subsidies to survive." Shang Wen continued.
"You mean, we're going to agree to South Korea's demands?" Meng Yi asked.
"It can be understood that we agreed conditionally. However, there is a problem, and that is how these companies are taxed. You know, that's the key. Shang Wen suddenly grasped the crux of the problem, the output of capital must be capital, which can be considered to obtain huge profits. Well, since there is a profit, then the government has to collect taxes, but how to collect this tax? This is the crux of the matter.
"We have technical equipment, we have high-level mechanics. There is also ample capital. But on the other hand, they have plenty of labor. There are also abundant raw materials. In addition, there is their geographical location, close to the market. Our factory is built on other people's land, and of course, we can build our own concessions. Protect your factories to the fullest, but don't forget. Technology opens them up a bit. They can also have their own factory. In this way, the two will form a contradiction. What we want is to control the South Korean economy, not to create new contradictions. This does not do any good for unification. Shang Wen said.
"Yes. But if our factories pay taxes to them, they pay us taxes. These two taxes are very bad for us. Meng Yi thought of the crux of the matter. Shang Wen nodded.
"What do you think would happen if we didn't collect taxes in the first place?" Shang Wen asked suddenly.
Meng Yi shook his head, indicating that he didn't know either.
The Qin state should collect taxes in a targeted manner. It's a train of thought. But the current situation is that there is no example of a situation in which Qin has made a capital export. Shang Wen might as well put this plan on hold and hand it over to the Taxation Commission.
After Shangwen put the issue on hold, he notified Han Shu to negotiate. The time is set for the last day of January.
After Shang Wen was reinstated, he submitted a series of motions in succession. These bills were reported in the newspapers. The newspapers of the Qin State have improved greatly. For the first time, the Financial Express used offset printing, a technique that meant that Qin could place photographs taken with a camera directly on the newspaper. As soon as this new technology appeared. Immediately sparked a major earthquake in the newspapers.
Newspapers will no longer be mere words, he will have pictures. Although there were some newspapers that used drawings before the Qin state, those drawings were simple stick figures. There is no real thing like a photograph. In this way, the Qin State could show the facts to the people from a unique angle.
"Come and see. Come and see. The first photo newspaper of the Qin State. The newsboy from Zhao Guo shouted loudly. They all came to Qin from Zhao with their families to work. Like the Korean children in the past, they work hard to earn money while going to school. For this reason, the children of the Qin State also learned to be independent. As long as they are age-appropriate, they will deliver newspapers every morning on their bicycles. Or to deliver milk. Earn some change by working part-time. This kind of part-time work is allowed by the government because it allows children to learn to be independent at an early age. The children of the Qin State were not so pampered.
The advent of offset printing made the Qin State begin to apply photo technology to media communication. Although the photo is just a photo of Shangwen after his return to duty, the meaning is very different. People will see real people appear for the first time through newspapers. The public has strengthened.
Subsequently, the reporter turned his attention to the first folk song and dance drama "Dream of Dunhuang" in the Qin State, and the huge poster gave the photo room to play.
