930 The Power of Paper

The experience of traveling to the Qin State gave him an intuitive understanding of the Qin State. This understanding is based on his intuitive feeling of the Qin State.

But. If you want to give this careerist a new sense of strategy, she doesn't have such an idea. At least. He didn't have a decent person around him to assist him.

But with the rapid popularity of paper. Especially with the rapid rise of the newspaper printing industry, the small seal of the Qin State is the highest in the understanding of the written language of various countries. Because, most of the newspapers were printed in the Qin state. Qin's newspapers accounted for more than 95 percent of the entire newspaper printing industry. The other five percent are just some of Korea, Cho State. The small newspaper of the Yan country is occupied. But that's five percent. There are still a considerable number of newspapers that use the small seal of the Qin State. The reason is very simple, that is, the small seal of the Qin State was in the initial newspaper occupation of the market. occupies an absolute position.

Among the countries. There is such a phenomenon happening. The people knew the small seal of the Qin state, but they could not know the writing of their own country. The use of the small seal of the Qin State to publish articles became some unspoken rules for scholars.

Because only published in newspapers with circulation. Only then can the doctrines of the scholars be known by others. At the same time, it can also raise its own fame. Various newspapers in the Qin State have launched such columns to attract these scholars to publish articles in the newspapers to tell their explanations, opinions, and so on.

And that's not all. Some also pay a lot of print flights to release their own books. In this paper has just become popular. And the era of a hundred schools of thought contending in the Warring States. The doctrines of the various sects compete with each other. This led to a period of great academic prosperity. The advent of paper accelerated the second boom of this great academic development. A large number of doctrines have been born. More people began to publish articles in newspapers. Or publish a book to explain some of your views. Then form a whole system to publish.

However, the book of this doctrine. It was not very popular in the Qin State. Because the Qin State was mainly popular with technical books. The Qin State had a large number of industrial workers. Workers only care about technology. Farmers have adapted to scientific management and large-scale farming practices. Therefore, the Qin State generally cares about technology, and even if they don't care about technology, they also care about art books, and the people of Qin spend a lot of time on artistic cultivation.

The reason why the state of Qin did this. It is because the Qin State is already the most powerful and largest country among the Warring States. The Qin state was strong. The country is strong. There is no fear of any country. Plus the gradual liberalization of culture. Especially when it comes to the arts. The status of entertainers and other professions are equal under the law. There is no discriminatory relationship. So. The state of Qin began to have certain achievements in culture.

But the six countries are not the same. The six countries are fiercely competitive with each other. In particular, society is in the midst of rapid upheaval. Qin's strong national power could launch a large-scale attack at any time. Annexation of the Six Nations. Naturally, the scholars of the Six Nations were worried. Because there is currently a situation in which the Qin family is dominant. The scholars did not yet know what kind of strategic stage the Qin State was in. Therefore, scholars have published books and articles to expound their own ideas of governance. Offered to rulers. But most of these books are not readable in the Qin State.

The state of Qin was the most powerful state in the Warring States. They are not at all afraid of the challenges of the six countries.

However, there are still a considerable number of articles and books circulating in the Qin State. This part of the book and the articles have a high level of strategic insight. With the increase in the number of books in the Qin state. Bookstores are also starting to increase. In addition, bookstores have always served the function of distributing newspapers. Newspapers have a huge function as a carrier of information dissemination. Therefore, there are still many such bookstores in the Qin State. Moreover, as long as it is a small town in the Qin State. There must be a bookstore in the Qin Kingdom.

In the Qin State, he also began to develop the habit of reading. Because of the newspapers, some of the opinions in the books can be easily studied in combination with what he saw and heard in the Qin State.

"Today's Qin State is in the midst of a huge social and historical change." This is an article that has been widely disseminated in the Qin State. The author of the article turned out to be Fan Zeng. Fan Zeng has the title of national security adviser. Therefore, he was able to come into contact with the various changes that took place in various parts of the Qin State. These changes can become the most realistic material for the pen.

"The agricultural foundation of the Qin State has changed dramatically. The era of a family of more than ten acres of land in the Qin State has passed. More than a dozen acres of land have been turned into large-scale contiguous plots of land. The scale of these lands has reached the most basic farms in units of 100 acres. A farm can concentrate on growing one crop. Here's what it looks like. The farmer can make the slaves, or farm machinery, operate only one type of farming. For example, growing wheat. As long as a certain amount of irrigation equipment is put in, there are also some chemical fertilizers. Even if the weather is bad. The Qin state was still able to ensure that the farmers had enough grain to sell to the market. It is then converted into coins through the market. The farmer paid the money to the state. The country is in the most difficult time. It is also possible to purchase those grains by way of purchase. Such. The country's food production will grow rapidly. ”

"And the facts prove it. Single, mechanical. Large-scale, high-productivity agriculture will be formed. We call it the era of big agriculture. The state of Qin annexed land. This has already been achieved. And compared. The six countries were able to do that. There is only one in South Korea. South Korea is still suspicious of reluctance. But after all, they followed the footsteps of the Qin State and sold an important step. The article said.

"Let's look at it again, population. Solving the food problem. In particular, the beginning of large-scale agriculture allowed the Qin state to free up a large number of people from agriculture. Population shortage has always been an important problem faced by the Qin state. Previously, the Qin state had to support an army of one million. Although now the size of the army has been reduced to a quarter. But the pressure on Qin's army was still great. In particular, defense issues. ”

"And these population problems vacated in the countryside have suddenly given Qin a large quota of personnel for national defense and industry."

"The foundation of Qin's industrialization was built on the release of a large number of idle rural population." This is not hesitating to be pointed out in the article.

"The reason for the industrialization of the Qin State was a very fortuitous factor."

"The state of Qin undertook a massive expansion to the north and west. Expansion requires a lot of industry to make a lot of new weapons. The state of Qin carried out a disarmament. Plus industrialization requires a lot of people. It's almost all going on at the same time. This requires a lot of coordination. I'm glad to be. The state of Qin solved this problem. ”

"Weapons manufacturing gave birth to the first industry of the Qin State, the weapons production industry. With the production of weapons, a large number of industrial developments have been led. Soldiers' uniforms need to be produced in large quantities by light industrial clothing factories. The uniform has a supreme sense of collective honor. The production of weapons led to the rapid development of metallurgy, casting, processing, and the iron and steel industry in the Qin state. ”

"The emergence of these industries. All of them brought huge material production to the expansion of the Qin state. Agriculture can produce more food with fewer lives. Industry brings a large number of industrial finished products. The soldiers of the Qin State could effortlessly worry about their weapons. The handicraft workshops were no longer able to meet the needs of this army to quickly equip themselves with advanced weapons. Only industrial, mechanized mass production can satisfy this army. ”

The transportation of these materials triggered a series of new technological revolutions in transportation and rapid information dissemination technology in the Qin state. All these have brought great help to the huge development of the Qin State・・・・・・ "Although the article is relatively superficially written. And it looks like the article hasn't been finished yet. In fact, it was true, Fan Zeng through his knowledge of all aspects of the Qin State. As well as some records of historical materials to look at the development of the entire Qin state. In his opinion, the current development of the Qin State has great potential. Moreover, there is still a lot of room for these potentials of the Qin State to be tapped.

However, he saw the great potential brought by this development model of the Qin State. He hoped to learn from this development model of the Qin State to develop his own country. In particular, the article specifically mentions the development of South Korea. Korea completely copied the model of the Qin state. South Korea soon developed. South Korea's recent military victory in Chendi amply illustrates this point. Plus the use of various new technologies. Let a small country like South Korea quickly defeat the Wei State. Such a move. I had to make the minus feel a huge shock. So, in the opinion of the negative. He needs such a victory. Such a development model is needed.

"The article is useful. It was of great help to the rise of the Chu State. As he spoke, he rolled the article into his sleeve. These Qin authors are very correct in their analysis. This is a huge help for the development of the Chu State.

He had already made up his mind to learn from the development model of the Qin State. And in the state of Chu, there is also such a general who has the same understanding. This general is Xiang Yan. Because the Chu naval army under his command was in a suppressed state. In particular, the armed merchant ships of the Qin State were quite arrogant, and the country had no way to stop these armed merchant ships from running amok. That's why he thought about it. Think about how to make the state of Chu strong. Chu currently has great potential for national strength. But the strength is not as good as that of Qin. In addition, the Qin State has developed strongly recently. This made the state of Chu feel a great threat.

There are already some people in the Chu State who are thinking about how to change the current state. In the north of Yan Kingdom, Shang Wen is elaborating on some of his views. Because the other party is the Mo family. The nosy attitude of the Mo family had to make Shang Wen spend more words on some preaching. In this way, he hopes to be able to articulate his current vague political ideas.
