On August 31, 701 in the Gregorian calendar, after three court discussions, the Seventh Court of Hearing of the Empire rejected the lawsuit of the representative of the Tobacco Industry Association, on the grounds that the Empire now has no legal basis to file a lawsuit against the administrative order of the administrative organ, and the Imperial Trial Body does not accept similar lawsuits.

Of course, this also contributed to the Imperial Administrative Procedure Act in some ways At least for the time being, no one can accept the phenomenon of individual and civil forces overturning the political axe order, even in the form of a trial court ruling, and the overthrow in Western Xinjiang is more like a special case and heresy, and it is clear that it is because of the intervention of higher forces that will make the Northwest Bank represented by James compromise, and if it is to become a common phenomenon, there will not be many feasible surnames, even the most radical Minister of Justice Moren will admit that in the near future or even for a long timeIt is not realistic for individuals or civil forces to overturn the political axe executive order through legal means, but this good start at least gives people some hope that as long as they continue along this path, there will be a day when a new era of the legal profession will be ushered in again.

Although the case ended in the failure of the tobacco trade association, it was the beginning of a significant era, in the words of later historians, it marked that the imperial industrial and commercial community had begun to mature as a reading and important political force, and dared to enter the political arena to protect their rights and interests through legal means This is also a disguised promotion of the process of legalization from a certain point of view.

Compared with the turmoil in the tobacco industry, the empire was calm in the handling of another monopoly material, the salt industry was still included in the franchise as an important material related to the national economy and people's livelihood, and the whole empire was divided according to the county, and it still followed the original way of purchasing monopoly rights, but in order to strengthen the control of the salt industry, the imperial economic development department adopted a high deposit system to ensure that all salt merchants and salt practitioners did not operate in violation of regulations.

The shipbuilding industry of the empire in 701 was also a year of rapid development, in addition to the Jiangnan Shipyard and the Southeast Shipyard in Yuhang to complete the integration of the main shipbuilding industry of the empire, the Dengzhou shipyard in Dengzhou, Donghai County also began to emerge, ranking firmly among the three main shipyards of the empire.

If Jiangnan Shipyard and Southeast Shipyard rely more on the Jiangnan shipping industry that has flourished under the encouragement of the imperial official order and policy, then Dengzhou Shipyard almost all depends on the development of the private shipping industry in the Yanyun area and the East China Sea, especially after Lu Man became the governor of the East China Sea, he made it clear that the East China Sea Governor's Office will support the development of Dengzhou Shipyard, in addition to adopting various policies to support the development of Dengzhou Shipyard, and also requires the construction of large ships along the Fan River as much as possible to choose Dengzhou Shipyard for construction, and Yanyun area due to the underdeveloped shipbuilding industry, but also more choose the nearby Dengzhou Shipyard as a procurement base。

The vigorous development of the shipbuilding industry is not only on the coast of the Great East Ocean, but also the Nanyang Shipyard funded and controlled by the empire in Nanhai County and a number of other shipyards established by the Nanhai Shipping Family, forming a pattern of two major enterprises, the Nanyang Shipyard based in East Samoa and the Sanbao Shipyard based in Sanbao Port. In fact, both shipyards were once controlled by the Reich, but with the establishment of the Reich and the change in economic views, the State-owned Assets Management Department of the Reich Ministry of Finance began to gradually reduce its stake in the two shipyards, and finally only retained a small number of shares symbolic of the surname. However, the development of the two shipyards has not been affected by this, and the development momentum has become even more ferocious, entering the fiercely competitive civil ship market of the South Seas Alliance, and gaining a firm foothold.

With the integration of the southwest region into the imperial management, the Nanyang Shipyard and the Sambao Shipyard began to enter Nan'an and Western Samoa, competing for the market with the Sikkim shipyard that originally occupied the dominant position in the market, and once triggered a brutal price war.

In contrast, although the empire has now become a coastal state in the Baltic and Aegean Seas, due to historical reasons, there is basically no decent shipbuilding industry in the Indean region, and the shipbuilding industry in the Meri region is not developed. However, when the two deep-water commercial ports under construction were turned into two huge construction sites, it also meant that the empire would not forget that the coastline of this land still had its own long sea frontier, and to defend this sea frontier was not only a strong naval force, but also a strong shipbuilding capacity and thriving seafaring trade.

The prosperity of the imperial shipbuilding industry also led to the development of far-sea trade, especially in the South China Sea. Due to long-term historical reasons and the psychological precipitation of merchants, Jiangnan is more fond of offshore trade with Milan and the other two countries of the Triple Alliance, and the countries of the Nanyang Alliance are also the main trading partners of Jiangnan and even the East China Sea, but the merchants in the South China Sea are obviously more adventurous and innovative, not only actively competing with Jiangnan and East China Sea traders for the market of the Nanyang Alliance, but also actively stepping into the surrounding areas.

The submission of the southwest region made the traders in the South China Sea region happy, which also made the market of the southwest region and the South China Sea region quickly integrated, of course, now they are not only satisfied with the development of the internal market of the empire, the imperial Ministry of Commerce's export policy makes them more willing to trade overseas, so that they can get more financial subsidies.

The merchants of Sikkim and Western Samoa soon joined their plans of foreign trade conquest, and the markets of West Oran and Western Samoa were opened to them, and tradition also allowed them to maintain long-term and stable trade relations with the countries along the Latin Ocean coast and the Adriatic Gulf in the western continent, and now the development of the shipping industry also made them want to change the original situation of those countries and cities in the western continent occupying the initiative in trade, and imported a large number of glass products, knitwear, woolen cloth, handicrafts, olive oil, wine, and At the same time as rum and silver, they were also actively seeking to sell more imperial goods.

Along with the rapid development of shipping and foreign trade, another activity closely related to these two industries also flourished: overseas exploration and colonization.

As early as the beginning of the empire, the empire issued a regulation to encourage and reward navigation and exploration, which also led to a wave of outward exploration and conquest in the empire, and the empire was limited by the Japanese power in the Great Eastern Ocean more relying on a series of small ports established on the Marvin Islands to explore in the southeast, and in the Great South Sea, the people in the South China Sea region were more adventurous, especially when the empire would even tilt towards explorers in the policy of aristocratic canonization, this enthusiasm was ignited, and the Golden Crown Island was discovered in this situation。

Golden Crown Island played a vital role in the Southwest War, and without Golden Crown Island as a springboard and base, Liang Chongxin's landing plan would have been a castle in the air, and it would have been impossible for the army to drift on the sea for a few more days, and the risk would have been several times greater. The Imperial Navy tried to include Golden Crown Island in the use of military restricted areas, but was firmly opposed by Nanhai County.

The area of Golden Crown Island is larger, the location is unique, it can be built into an important commercial port, and because of the beautiful and unique scenery on the island, coconut groves all over the island, streams and horizontals, a large number of coral reefs around it form a natural annular breakwater, many places can be built into excellent sheltered deep-water ports, the beautiful environment is like a paradise, Nanhai County hopes to build it into a tourist resort, and the Imperial Economic Development Department also hopes to use this as a bridgehead to explore the south, so that the empire can rely on this place to explore the south more conveniently in the future。

The existence of the New World has been officially proven, and its size is unusually large, so far the expeditions of various countries have not been able to penetrate into the heart of this continent, and no one has figured out the shape of the New World and what exactly exists on the continent, but this does not affect the enthusiasm of the countries of the continent for conquest.

So far, there should be two kinds of indigenous people found in the New World, one is the sub-white race, whose characteristics are more similar to the Indian race, they live in the northern and western coastal areas of the New World, while the other people are black people, they and the southern Malabis in the border area of the Central and Western continents should belong to the same race, they mostly live in the inland areas, but many of the expeditions are still in the coastal zone, dense primeval forests, boundless deserts, swamp areas that appear from time to time, and the hostility of the indigenous people have made the explorers from the Raya continent afraid to go deep。

However, the great powers of the Raya continent, including the Tang Empire, have begun to establish in a series of colonies in the northern and western parts of the New World, and a new industry has also become popular and popular throughout the Central and Western Continents, that is, slave hunting.
