Chapter 930: The power of paper

Ning Chu's experience of traveling in Qin State gave him an intuitive understanding of Qin State. This understanding is based on his intuitive perception of Qin.

but. If you want the careerist to have a new strategic awareness, Ningchu has no such idea. At least. There was no decent talent around Ning Chu to assist him.

But with the rapid spread of paper. Especially with the rapid rise of the newspaper printing industry, Qin's Xiaozhuan is the highest among all countries in the understanding of writing. Because most of the newspapers are printed by Qin State. Qin’s newspapers accounted for more than 95% of the entire newspaper printing industry. The other five percent is just some South Korea, Zhao Guo. The Yan Elementary School newspaper occupied. But among these five percent. There are still a considerable number of newspapers using Qin's Xiaozhuan. The reason is simple. Qin's Xiaozhuan was in the beginning of the newspaper dominating the market. Occupy an absolute position.

Among the countries. There is such a phenomenon. The people know the small seal of Qin State, but they cannot know the script of their own country. Using Qin's Xiaozhuan to publish articles has become some unspoken rules for scholars.

Because only published in circulation newspapers. The doctrines of scholars can be known by others. At the same time, it can also raise its own reputation. 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.

Not only that. Some people also paid a lot of printing and flying to distribute their own books. In this paper has just become popular. And the era of contending hundreds of schools of thought in the Warring States period. The doctrines of different schools compete with each other. This formed a period of great academic prosperity. The emergence of paper accelerated the second boom of this academic development. A large number of doctrines were born from this. More people began to publish articles in newspapers. Or publish a book to explain some of your views. Then form a complete set of systems to publish.

However, books of this doctrine. It is not very popular in Qin. Because Qin's main popular books are technical books. Qin has a large number of industrial workers. Workers only care about technology. Farmers have adapted to scientific management and large-scale farming methods. Therefore, Qin generally cares about technology. Even if they don't care about technology, they also care about art books. Qin people spend a lot of time on artistic cultivation.

The reason why Qin State did this. It is because Qin is already the most powerful and largest country in the Warring States Period. Qin is strong. National strength is strong. Has no fear of any country. Coupled with the gradual liberalization of culture. Especially art. The status of artists and other occupations are equal in the law. There is no discriminatory relationship. and so. Qin State began to make certain achievements in culture.

But the six countries are not the same. The six countries compete fiercely with each other. In particular, the society is in rapid turmoil. Qin's strong national power is likely to launch a large-scale offensive at any time. Annex the six countries. Scholars from the Six Nations naturally have such concerns. Because at present there is a situation where Qin is dominating the country. Scholars still don't know what strategic stage Qin is in. Therefore, scholars have published books and articles to expound their ideas of governing the country. Provided to the ruler. However, most of these books do not look good in Qin.

Qin is the most powerful country in the Warring States period. They are not afraid of the challenges of the six countries at all.

However, Qin State still has quite a few articles and books circulating in Qin State. This part of the books and articles have high strategic insights. With the increase of Qin's books. Bookstores have also started to increase. Moreover, the bookstore originally doubled the function of distributing newspapers. Newspapers have a huge information dissemination carrier function. Therefore, there are still many such bookstores in Qin. Moreover, as long as it is a small town in Qin State. There must be a Qin bookstore.

Minzu also began to develop the habit of reading in Qin. Because of the opinions in newspapers and books, it is easy to learn from his experience in Qin.

"The state of Qin today is undergoing a huge social and historical transformation." This is an article that has been widely disseminated in the state of Qin. The author of the article turned out to be Fan Zeng. Fan Zeng has the title of National Security Advisor. Therefore, he can get in touch with the various changes that have taken place in various places in Qin. These changes can become the most authentic material in the pen.

"The agricultural foundation of the Qin State has undergone tremendous changes. The era of a family of more than ten acres of land in the Qin State has passed. The ten acres of land have become large-scale contiguous tracts of land. The scale of these land has reached. The most basic farm with a hundred acres as a unit. A farm can grow a single crop in a concentrated manner. The advantage of this is that the farmer can let slaves or agricultural machinery only operate one farming method. For example, Planting wheat. As long as you put in certain irrigation equipment and some chemical fertilizers. Even if the weather is bad, Qin State can still ensure that the farmer has enough grain to sell to the market. Then it is converted into coins through the market. The farmer delivers the coins. Taxes are given to the country. The country can also purchase those grains in the most difficult times. In this way, the country’s grain output will develop rapidly."

"The facts have also proved this. Single, mechanical. Large-scale, high-capacity agriculture will be formed. We call it the era of large-scale agriculture. Qin has achieved this through the merger of the land. Compared with. The Six Nations can do this. Only South Korea is the only one. South Korea still has suspicions of reluctance. But after all, they followed Qin’s footsteps and sold an important step.” The article said.

"Let’s take a look again, population. The solution to the food problem. Especially the beginning of large-scale agriculture, so that Qin can free up a large number of people from agriculture. The lack of population has always been an important problem for Qin. Qin has to do it before. Support an army of one million. Although the size of the army has been reduced to a quarter now. However, Qin's army is still under great pressure, especially the issue of national defense."

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

"The foundation of Qin's industrialization was built on the large number of idle rural populations vacated." The article pointed out this point without hesitation.

"The cause of Qin's industrialization is a very accidental factor."

"Qin State went north and west to carry out a large-scale expansion. Expansion requires a large amount of industry to manufacture a large number of new weapons. Qin State has carried out a disarmament. In addition, industrialization requires a large number of personnel. This is almost all at the same time. This requires a great coordination ability. I am very fortunate. Qin has solved this problem."

“Weapon manufacturing gave birth to Qin’s first industry, the weapon production industry. With the production of weapons, a large number of industrial developments have been driven. Soldiers’ military uniforms require a large number of light industrial bedding factories to produce. A unified uniform has a supreme sense of collective honor. The production of weapons drove the rapid development of Qin’s metallurgy, casting, processing, and iron and steel industries."

"The emergence of these industries has brought about huge material production for the expansion of Qin. Agriculture can use fewer people to produce more food. Industry has brought a lot of industrial products. Qin soldiers can do nothing. Worrying about their weapons. Handicraft workshops can no longer meet the needs of this army to quickly equip advanced weapons. Only industry and mechanized mass production can satisfy this army."

"The transportation of these materials has triggered a series of new technological revolutions in the state of Qin in transportation and rapid information dissemination technology. These have brought a huge boost to the tremendous development of the State of Qin..." This Although the article is relatively superficial. And the article does not seem to be finished yet. In fact, it is true. Fan Zeng has learned about all aspects of the Qin State. And some but historical data records to look at the development of the entire Qin State. In his view, Qin's current development has great potential. Moreover, there is still a lot of room for Qin's potential to be tapped.

However, Ning Chu saw the great potential brought by the development model of Qin State. He hopes to learn from this development model of Qin to develop his country. In particular, the article specifically mentioned the development of South Korea. South Korea completely copied Qin's model. South Korea quickly developed. South Korea’s recent military victory in Chendi has fully illustrated this point. Coupled with the use of various new technologies. Let a small country like South Korea quickly defeat Wei Guo. Such a move. Negative had to feel a huge shock. Therefore, in the negative opinion. He needs such a victory. Such a development model is needed.

"This article is very useful. It is of great help to the rise of Chu State." As he said negatively, he rolled this article into his sleeve. These Qin authors are all right in their analysis. This is a huge help for the development of Chu State.

Minzu has made up his mind to learn from Qin's development model. And in Chu State, there is also such a general who has the same knowledge. This general is Xiang Yan. Because the Chu State Navy under his command was in a state of suppression. In particular, the armed merchant ships of the Qin State are quite arrogant, but there is no way for this country to stop these armed merchant ships from running unimpeded. Therefore, he wanted to change. Thinking about how to make Chu country stronger. The state of Chu currently has great potential in national power. But the strength is not as good as Qin State. In addition, Qin has developed rapidly recently. This made Chu feel a huge threat.

Some people in Chu are already thinking about how to change the current state. In the north of Yan State, Shang Wen is expounding some of his views in detail. Because the other party is the Mohist school. With the nosy attitude of the Mohist school, Shangwen had to spend more talk to preach. He hopes to explain his current vague political concepts in this way.
