Chapter 223: Pengcheng Monthly
The Pengcheng monthly report is divided into four sections. The first volume is a volume of articles, which publishes beautiful articles written by teachers and students in various schools in Xuzhou, and then promotes Xuzhou's literary scene to the world through Pengcheng Monthly.
The second volume is the volume of customs and customs, which mainly introduces the celebrities and masters of Xuzhou, the characters who moved Xuzhou or introduces some small stories that happened in Xuzhou.
The third volume is the morning reading of the world's affairs, and Tao Ying selects some interesting ones that can be used to attack the opponent through the war reports collected by the intelligence departments he has set up in various prefectures and counties, and publishes them in the Pengcheng Daily Tianxia Morning Reading. Or pick and choose some things that happened in other states and counties and also post them on it.
The fourth volume is a special academic issue, which contains articles on academic discussions or political views.
With the improvement of his own papermaking technology and the emergence of movable type printing, Tao Ying is ready to popularize this again. Tao Ying needs a media to promote himself, the media is a mouth that talks around, as long as the benefits of Xuzhou are spoken, more people will come to him in the future.
Moreover, after the newspaper is sold, it will also be a large income.
Taking advantage of the fact that his wife Cao was a bit of a gimmick, Tao Ying ordered the first issue of Pengcheng Monthly to be printed on time in early February. The time soon came in February, and the Pengcheng Monthly Newspaper Office really handed over a printed newspaper to Tao Ying.
In the courtyard, Xiaohuan stood behind Tao Ying and pinched Tao Ying's back, Tao Ying had a notebook on the table, and a homemade pen next to it, he was writing a book. In the past six months, Tao Ying has been writing books, writing various textbooks, and textbooks for various schools. He lived through a society that no one else had ever seen, so he had to tell them the latest news.
Of course, the textbook is not about the advanced atomic bomb or anything like that, but the most practical book about the first industrial revolution. There are also books such as steel casting technology written by himself, as well as research and development of artillery.
His daily task was to write a book, and then in the afternoon he would give lectures in the artillery school, and then lead his team to develop the second generation of artillery and make new gunpowder.
Stopping the pen in his hand, Tao Ying asked Xiaohuan to call Mr. Sun as well, and Sun Shao soon came. Tao Ying's study is not very large, in a quiet small courtyard, open the window to a small bamboo forest, the wind blows the bamboo forest rustling.
Sun Shao strode into Tao Ying's study, and then said to Tao Yingyi: "What did the lord call me to do?" Tao Ying handed the newspaper in his hand to Sun Shao, who took it and read it carefully.
Xiaohuan came over from outside and poured it for Sun Shao, who sat at a table and read the article with relish, and had long forgotten the aroma of tea.
In normal times, Sun Shao is very fond of this tea from the Suzhou generation, and now he is fascinated by the article!
"Good, good, Mr. Kong is worthy of being the descendant of Sage Kong, this article can be immortalized!"
In the Pengcheng Monthly Newspaper, the first volume consists of two particularly large newspapers, which publish articles by some teachers from various schools in the Kongrong School. The first issue wanted to be famous, so Tao Ying asked various teachers to write it. This Kong Rong is one of the seven sons of Jian'an, plus the Confucianism he invited, can the article not make people stunning?
Regarding the article, Tao Ying didn't care. Tao should care about the advertisements he typed in this newspaper. The article Tao Ying knew that it would definitely attract the attention of the world's heroes, and Tao Ying wanted to use this to promote the two advertisements he played when everyone was discussing.
Tao Ying was ready to officially sell Taoling artillery and open the Xuzhou Artillery School, Tao applied nearly half of the page to introduce the power of the artillery he invented, and then put a small advertisement in the back, saying that Huainan Yuan Shu had purchased his own artillery, and it was extraordinary.
After introducing the artillery, Tao Ying attached the price of the artillery, the price of gunpowder. Because if you buy artillery, you need to operate, and you have opened three artillery schools in Xuzhou, which are used to train the princes who buy artillery how to operate.
Then a charging model was proposed, and the artillery operators who were dispatched were called artillerymen. Their duration of study is one year, and the tuition fee for one year varies from 10 taels of silver to 100 taels of silver according to the different local fees.
In order to facilitate the various princes and develop the local economy, Tao Ying opened four artillery schools in Xuzhou. In the north, Juye Castle in Sanyang County opened the Juye Artillery School. The Pengchengguo Artillery School was opened in Xiao County, a barrier city in the south of Pengcheng, the capital of Pengcheng State, and the Guangling Artillery School was opened in Guangling City, Guangling County.
After crossing the Yangtze River, the Suzhou Artillery School was established in Suzhou County on the south bank of the Yangtze River, and the school was established in Suzhou City. The opening of the artillery academy is not only to recruit students from other counties, but also to train local artillery. The counties that set up artillery were basically the border counties of Xuzhou, and they needed more talents, and once the artillery was transported, it could be directly operated to meet the enemy.
With the Artillery Academy, these are not enough. In order to equip the main cities with firearms, Tao Ying began to recruit blacksmiths or skilled craftsmen in the counties to make cannons and ammunition.
To this end, Tao Ying built artillery factories in each county. In order to facilitate the unified jurisdiction and upgrading, Tao Ying established the Xuzhou Firearms Equipment Corporation in the artillery school in Taoling Town.
Tao Ying put forward the concept of the company for the first time, and in order to be able to better operate these large state-owned factories in Xuzhou, Tao Ying summoned many teachers and students of the business school to start a new road of enterprise reform, such as Zhang Zhao and Sun Shao.
Tao Ying was the first to be established in Xuzhou is related to the survival of Xuzhou in the future, the Xuzhou Firearms Manufacturing Corporation, the head office was originally set in the artillery school in Taoling Town, but under the strong recommendation of Zhang Zhao and other civil officials, Tao Ying moved the Xuzhou Firearms Manufacturing Corporation to a mountain in Xuzhou.
A large courtyard was built next to the city gate, and then the area around the mountain was assigned to the Xuzhou Firearms Manufacturing Corporation.
The Firearms Manufacturing Corporation has four departments, the first of which is the artillery school established in Taoling Town, which is established in four artillery schools in various counties. This is the research and development department of Xuzhou Firearms Manufacturing Corporation, which is also the core technology department of Firearms Manufacturing Corporation.
The second department of Xuzhou Firearms Manufacturing Corporation is the department that produces these developed products on a large scale. As a result, Tao Ying set up a firearms manufacturing and production department in the major cities of the counties near the river.
In order to be safe, Tao Ying set up these firearms factories in a city relatively close to the interior of Xuzhou, and it had to be close to the river. It is close to the river, and it is necessary to take into account the capital of the county, and there is also a convenient exit to the outside. So Tao Ying chose a city close to the Surabaya River, as well as the Huai River and the Guanghuai River, as his first choice.
The Guanghuai River is a river dug by the Huai River that connects the capital of Guangling City in the south.
Therefore, after the initial planning, Tao Ying set up the Juye Firearms Manufacturing Factory in Juyecheng, the northwestern town of Xuzhou, the Pengcheng Firearms Manufacturing Factory in Pengcheng, near the Surabaya River, and the Xiapi Firearms Manufacturing Factory in Xiapi City, Xiapi Kingdom. Then the Guangling Firearms Manufacturing Factory was established in Guangling City, Guangling County, and the Suzhou Firearms Manufacturing Factory was established in Suzhou County, Suzhou City.
