Chapter 57: It's better to put a satellite

Three days later, the first issue of science was published in the attention of the government and the opposition, and the technical officials such as Qin Tianjian and Su Song who submitted the manuscript all got the first issue of fine coated paper, and they sighed when they saw the price. The price of 100 yuan a copy makes many readers feel that it is expensive. A magazine of no more than 50 pages actually costs 10 stone of grain, which is equivalent to the output value of three or four acres of fertile land for a year. But as soon as I opened the magazine and read the contents, I was immediately shocked, and the sentence in the publication was 'With the material resources of the poor, seek the boundless truth, the grand wish of my generation.' For the spirit of science and the wisdom of the people, in order to expand the true aspirations of the learners, to achieve the goal of reaching the sky and the moon day and night without tireless regrets. There is also 'Discover the way to understand all things, get a penny of hair, and use it for people's livelihood, gather hundreds of millions of money and one's own body, and be inspirational. The wanderer Wan Chuanzhi improved the steelmaking formula and sold it to Chenji Commercial Bank, and he made tens of millions of dollars. ’

After reading this advertisement that encourages innovation and does not hesitate to buy professional recipes and technologies, I understand that one of the elements of Chenji's profiteering is monopoly technology.

Due to the internal distribution system and high pricing, only 5,500 copies of the first issue of this magazine were issued, and in addition, 1,500 of them were locked into their own databases with huge room for future appreciation, so only 3,500 copies were published. Among them, 3,000 points were divided among the senior management and major shareholders of Chenji Group and partners, so only 500 shares could be accessed by grassroots technicians and people outside the circle.

The first five articles in the first issue are all articles on heliocentrism and the Earth-Moon system, the middle ten articles are about the sources of observational data and the working principle of instrumentation, and the last ten articles are about explaining the relevant mathematical principles. Every reader who gets their hands on this first issue is locked into an heirloom-level treasure trove or box bottom treasure after reading it in one sitting. A large number of manuscripts and some classic passages began to circulate in circles. For the first time, scholars from the Great Song Empire, who were born in the non-Chenji Academy, were exposed to the cosmology constructed by rigorous mathematical logic and the mode of speaking with data.

As for the society with an issue period after 10 days of science and the issue period after 10 days in society, it is natural that an unusually huge trend of thought has been set off.

The Society's first five articles, written by Li Ji and Zhao Shouzhong themselves, were devoted to the analysis of the economic and geographical background of the northern nomads that had long threatened China. The middle twelve articles are the data and examples collected by their protégés, ranging from national policies and war records to price fluctuations and cloth thickness. Through extremely detailed data, it is proved that the nomads have harassed the Han people for a long time and the difficulty of eliminating the root causes. The last seven articles are based on the trade and political system, and analyze the possibility of establishing a Greater China Co-prosperity Sphere. It is proved from the aspects of trade complementarity, cultural export intensity, political system output, ideological output, military power and technology comparison, strategic weakening and assimilation schemes, and the tradition of the tributary system of the whole East Asian royal road.

After this book came out, it was immediately banned by Li Ji and Zhao Shouzhong's many Zaifu who had visited in advance, and many readers were searched by the military officials who came to the door just after reading it, and when many big families were copying the above articles, the officials came to search for books. Very good and check the evidence of rebellion. After reading it, the partners and high-ranking officials and dignitaries did not copy it in time, and many of the contents could not be remembered, so they did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to buy the copy. Of course, this magazine, which is enough to become a diplomatic canon for the next fifty years, has also been divided among the 1,500 copies. Because all the books are delivered to every household by subscription, there is not a single one in the retail market, and after being banned and searched, only a few copies survive, and all the confiscated ones are burned. According to the appraisal of Chenji Auction House, the original price of 100 yuan for the first issue of the society can reach more than one million in at least 50 years.

As for nature, it detonated the atomic bomb of public opinion. The first article is on the yields of new crops (potatoes, maize, sweet potatoes, improved hybrid rice, and high-yielding wheat) and the consequences of increasing yields after the popularization of the Encyclopedia of Agricultural Administration. The Hou Lang chapter is an article written by Sun Chang and Wu Qi on the decisive impact of the seven major nutrients on life expectancy and the importance of the health care system to the life expectancy of Chinese people.

At the beginning of the first article, it was said that the grain output of the Great Song Empire could increase by seven or eight times in five years, coupled with the popularization of new crops and cash crops, and the output value of deep processing could increase the country's agricultural output tenfold, so that readers can experience the mood and feelings of people in the era of satellites. The second is another subversive article on the level of an atomic bomb supported by a microscope as powerful as a telescope. The presence of germs has led to an understanding of an important pillar of medicine---- nutrition. Height, physical strength, endurance, longevity, eyesight, etc. are all closely related to diet. Countless readers have realized that they can live up to 120 years old after reading the third article, and they are crazy.

Health care has become an emerging and popular discipline that can compete with traditional Chinese medicine. Spending a penny to study and publicize health care knowledge can save 100 yuan of medical expenses, which has become a hotly discussed slogan in the government and the opposition.

At the celebration meeting, Zhao Shouzhong said to Sun Chang's proud protégé Cheng Wen: "It is easy to yield 10,000 catties per mu, potatoes can be achieved casually, but there is no need to achieve it, we still leave a lot of leeway in the article, next month when the imperial court sends someone to verify the true yield of our experimental field, you will fold the yield of potatoes and sweet potatoes in half, and the open visit base will be selected in the northwest suburbs of Gongxian County, and the ordinary partner Wang Jia's application for the introduction of sweet potatoes will be selected on the hillside in the northwest suburbs of Gongxian County." Otherwise, if they have to harvest and weigh on the spot, the experimental fields of sweet potatoes and potatoes that are too tall and dense will be exposed. ”

"Got it, I'll do it right away! Guaranteed that no data will be leaked. Cheng Wen saw that Li Ji nodded in agreement, and then said that there would be no mistakes.

"You think it's not going too much to put satellites this time. Originally, the rice with the highest yield of four stones per mu was made into seven stones by us, and the wheat with the highest yield of two stones was made into five stones, and the potatoes with an annual output of nine stones and sweet potatoes with an annual output of ten stones were introduced, and the record of the average yield of two stones was increased by four or five times at once. Li Ji asked.

"If we don't put satellites, how can those conservative landlords who don't believe in evil obediently cooperate with us? Is propaganda just to attract attention? How can honestly write some painless and improved articles to deter those dishonest enemies and moths who reach out? ”

"You may attract more greed and enemies by blowing up your own information. Aren't you afraid that the court will order you to donate all the good seeds and secret recipes? ”

"I hold the genetic code lock in my left hand, and wait until the seeds degrade naturally after two or three generations, and even if they get the seeds, they still come to us and beg us to sell the good seeds, and we are Monsanto. In his right hand, he holds the health supplements and secret recipes that can make people live longer, and he is not afraid that the enemy will do it, unless they can use the extraction equipment to get the sheep placenta! Besides, you've long said, 'What is the crossing crowd if you are afraid of threats?' 'I have to be worthy of my tens of millions of dollars a year!' ”
