Chapter Seventy-Nine: Lancang Visit 2

The two sides exchanged pleasantries for a while, and at present, more than half of the embassy of Priango has been built, and the company is ready to arrange for everyone to go to Priango's embassy, and as for the construction of the embassy, it will be stopped for the time being, and it will not be too late to continue the construction after the visit to Lancang.

Since the Lancang State began to trade, the country's trade income has increased by about ten times, and the total income has also increased greatly, but compared to the Cham Po, their improvement is insignificant, but he is also very satisfied, after all, the income has increased tenfold, three years ago, the trade income of the Cham Po was only 1,000 taels of silver, because the Cham people actually did not trade much, or the implementation of the trade policy after the Pengyu came to power, so that the merchants increased, and the trade income in the 22nd Zhizheng reached 1.9 million, an increase of 1,900 timesFaon was indeed curious about how this was done, and Faon asked, "Brother, how did you increase the scale of trade so much?" ”

Naturally, he didn't say, after all, how could advanced weapons be exposed, he was not afraid that others would steal and others would rob, he was afraid that someone would be worried, so he said: "I didn't do anything, but to encourage commerce and establish a national trade system." ”

Faang's eyes lit up, this encouragement of commerce would double his income, and the country's trade system would be more powerful, so he asked, "How was that country's trade system established?" Tell me about it, brother. ”

"Regulate the behavior and trade behavior of merchants, expand the market, and enhance commercial competitiveness. ”

Faang hurriedly asked people to take a small notebook and write it down, "Quick, write it down." ”

Zhi Pengyu suddenly felt that this Faang was a little naΓ―ve, and continued: "Brother, I said well, this set of development methods may not be suitable for you, the situation of different countries is different, and you must study your own development model according to the specific situation of each place. ”

Faon thought for a moment, and suddenly the accompanying official asked, "Do you want to remember this sentence too?" ”

Only then did he pull Faon back to reality and said, "Remember, why don't you remember?" These are all statecraft. "He is even more impressed by the Pengyu, is the specific situation a specific analysis?

However, the whole country of Lancang is full of hills, and the traffic is already very inconvenient, and the traffic is also an important factor affecting trade, but he can't think of any way, after all, it is located in the tropical monsoon climate, and there is a lot of rainfall, and the road is easy to be washed away by the rain, so you can't build the road once a year, it costs too much.

Therefore, he also asked for the idea of making Pengyu to see if there was any way to solve it, so he said: "Brother, the roads of our country are always washed away by rain, and I wonder if there is any way you can solve this problem. ”

There is naturally a way to make Pengqiao, that is, to lay cement roads, but cement is a sharp weapon for them, naturally can not be sold at will, cement can be greatly strengthened city defense, good roads can also increase the speed of marching, supply speed will also be accelerated, there is an important reason is that as of now, the domestic road construction has not been completed half, cement itself has been in short supply, why is it still provided to other countries?

"There's nothing I can do, after all, how can we resist the will of heaven." ”

Faang said: "Yes, the will of heaven is hard to disobey. ”

"Since the water always washes the road, it is better to build the road where the water can't wash it away, so that even if it rains, it won't affect the road." ”

Faang's eyes lit up, yes, how could I not have imagined that after the road saw the flat land, the rain accumulated along the terrain on the flat ground, and the road was flooded by the rain, since this is the case, wouldn't it be better to build the road on the mountain?

Fa'ang thanked: "Thank you brother for your advice." ”

He scratched his head and said, "No thanks, no thanks, I didn't help much." ”

If it were Faang's thoughts, most of them would say, "Hey, you're really a genius."

Faang was accompanied by their officials in charge of the newspaper, and at present, their newspaper is only circulated in the surrounding areas, and the benefits are not good, so they came to learn how to run it, but they found that they only need ten copper coins for a newspaper, they are very puzzled, the price is so low, how can they make money, the reception staff Lu Gangqiang told them: Zhanbao itself is not created for profit, we want to make a good newspaper for everyone to read. This made them feel deeply, if they did not make a profit, would they rely on the money of the treasury to provide it?

Lu Gangqiang answered their doubts, he said: "One newspaper earns 1 copper plate, and 2 million copies can make a profit of 2,000 taels of silver, which is completely enough to pay the wages of workers and editors." ”

The people of Lancang suddenly realized, do you rely on sales to make money, Lancang is mountainous, although there is not as much population as Cham, but they are also a country with more than one million people, and it seems feasible for them to take the sales route.

At this time, the official asked to see the content of the Zhan Bao, so Lu Gangqiang picked up a sample and showed it to everyone, and everyone picked it up and took a look, and found that they didn't have all these news, what is the latest battle report of the Yuan and Han battlefields, they didn't receive any similar information, which naturally shocked them, but they didn't expect that the intelligence system of Cham has been so developed.

"By the way, did you bring the newspaper?" Lu Gangqiang asked, and he continued: "I'll see if there's anything wrong with your newspaper. ”

The people from the Lancang newspaper naturally couldn't ask for it, so they hurriedly took out a newspaper and handed it to Lu Gangqiang, saying, "This is our Lancang newspaper, please take a look." ”

Lu Gangqiang took a look, there is basically no big problem, the design of the newspaper is very reasonable, the Lancang newspaper was designed by Faang let the court artist, if it can enter the eyes of the court, where will it go, Lu Gangqiang looked at the content carefully, he found that it was wrong, Lu Gangqiang said: "You have ...... content"

"What's wrong with the content? Any questions? ”

Lu Gangqiang said: "There is nothing wrong with the authenticity of the content, but this content is too old, aren't these news half a month ago?" ”

"No, this is the latest news we have received in China, how can it be old."

Lu Gangqiang nodded, it is true that the speed of news circulation is very slow in this era, unless someone is specially sent to collect the news, otherwise they may not receive the news for a long time.

Lu Gangqiang said: "The life of news is its timeliness, and I suggest that you set up a special team to collect news, which is more beneficial to writing news." ”
