Chen Ping, Fu An and others heard this and their faces were solemn, and they nodded gently from time to time.

Chen Xu's way of thinking is almost different from that of Daqin people at the moment, because Chen Xu has read about things thousands of years later, and Chen Ping and Fu An and other groups of Daqins should be considered high-level intellectuals and even elites at the moment. What they consider more is the current situation. Almost no one of them would think about what will happen in a hundred and a thousand years later, and what will be meaningful for a book.

Therefore, Chen Xu always constantly instills all kinds of plausible theories through what he does, and then these theories will be used by Chen Ping and others in all aspects of newspapers. When selecting manuscripts, they will involuntarily connect to some of Chen Xu's words and try to get close to articles that conform to Chen Xu's views. Although this aroused the dissatisfaction of various schools of thought, it also aroused the resonance of many people, making the idea of ​​having similar ideas to Chen Xu quickly spread with the publication of newspapers.

"I have said many times before that although newspapers lead public opinion, they are also a kind of commercial activity. They need to make money to survive. If the newspaper is not novel and uninteresting, or even no argument, the newspaper will go bankrupt sooner or later. Therefore, while we strive for novel content in the newspaper, we do our best to make it have profound teaching significance, lead public opinion in a healthy direction, suppress those remarks that jump up and down to harm the country and the people, and promote those positive and upright righteous energy. But the bookstore is different. The purpose of the bookstore is not to make money, but it also needs to support hundreds of alchemists. Therefore, we must obtain our own mechanism of blood production and print and sell large quantities of books that have been compiled and reviewed. It is only

One way, and the disciples of the Hundred Schools will definitely spare no effort to promote their own ideas. The development of civilization has never been promoted by the poor, but rely on you, the literate literati, the first Confucius, Mencius, Zhu and Yang, and later the Confucian and Mohist struggle. Many sects have been ups and downs for hundreds of years. Now the only one is Li Si's magic, extravagant Mohism, Confucianism is depressed, and Lu Buwei's strategy of governing the country that combines the names of the other 100 schools has no chance to make a comeback. But the so-called thirty years of Hedong and thirty years of Hexi, the national policy changes are still like a big river changing. After Li Si's death, how could there be other sects who control Jishu to promote other politicians?”

"But no matter what kind of theory, it must meet at least three conditions before it will be prosperous. First, there are promoters, second, the emperor's support, third, many recognitions. With bookstores and printing factories, when a large number of books began to become popular among the gentry, when these different theories began to gather together, and coupled with the newspaper's theoretical guidance of Xunzi, which integrates Confucianism and Law, some governing strategies recognized by most gentry will gradually emerge. The final inevitable outcome will naturally be to form a governing strategy that integrates various concepts. The shadow can be seen in the various Confucianism and Law, and even the Mohist schools."

"My newspaper office is the promoter of this new concept of governing the country, and my newspaper office has always been supported by the emperor, and it will also be recognized by a large number of celebrities under the continuous spread of newspapers. All of my newspaper offices have all occupied all these three conditions. It is like a war that has occupied the right momentum of time, place and people. If we cannot occupy the great prosperity of Jishu in the end, then what are the faces of you and me here to sit here and judge the articles of hundreds of schools of thought?"

After Chen Xu's last sentence, his face became very serious and serious, and Chen Ping and others all heard it with a solemn expression. His eyes were filled with infinite admiration and excitement.

"After today's speech, Ping finally understood the hard work of the Marquis. Don't worry, we are just a sword in the Marquis' hand. As the Marquis pointed, we must move forward!" Chen Ping stood up and bowed to the end.

"We are the only one who is the leader of the marquis!" Fu Anjitong and Pang Que stood up and bowed.

"Okay, as long as you work together, no worries about everything in the world. Now, quickly publish the proofreading of this recruitment order to the new newspaper. By the way, I will gather a few more military reporters. His Majesty has issued an order to attack the Hebei Xiongnu and Donghu again. This time, the passes along the northwest line will be divided, so many reporters will be selected to accompany them..."

"Really, it's great!" Before Chen Xu could finish his words, the crowd jumped up.

The last time a special military issue directly raised the reputation of Daqin Metropolitan News to an unparalleled level. In the past, many people would come to newspaper offices to insult and throw stinky eggs and smelly shoes, but since that issue, very few such people have come. The reputation of urban newspapers has become very good among the people. In addition, the performance of newspaper offices in disaster relief, all classes of scholars, farmers, industry and commerce praised the newspaper offices for their righteous deeds. Even the emperor praised the newspaper offices' righteous actions several times in the court.

Although the Qin Dynasty advocated the law, benevolence and righteousness were still the most valued quality of the people. In particular, the merchants Qi Mao and Pang Feng were commended by the emperor as charity merchants and were given silk books, which also ignited the enthusiasm of more than 100,000 merchants and wealthy men in Xianyang. As the disaster relief continued, newspapers reported on the disaster relief one after another. The reputation of Qi Mao and Pang Feng was at its peak in Xianyang's business world. It has only been less than a month since then. With the continuous spread of newspapers, many marginal counties also knew that there were two charity merchants in Xianyang who were operating food, medicinal and cloth along the river. Therefore, many merchants from south to north had to prepare a gift to visit Qi Mao's mansion and then negotiate transportation cooperation.

Although Pang Feng, who was fooled by Qi Mao, has not returned from disaster relief in the disaster area, the newspaper has already entrusted a merchant ship to bring it, and at the same time brought a letter from Qi Mao, discussing to establish a joint-stock transport fleet like the Huaxia Money House, specializing in transporting goods along the river. Qi Mao is in Xianyang, Pang Feng is in Qilu, and set up offices along the river counties and counties in the middle, and is preparing to join forces with several like-minded merchants to build a transportation company that monopolizes the transportation of the river.

When Chen Xu learned that Qi Mao needed enough funds to build more cargo ships, he personally met Qi Mao and invited Fan Caiying to have dinner in Qinghe Park to introduce and protect the two of them. He asked the Huaxia Money House to lend Qi Mao 300,000 yuan. In this way, the newly established transportation company called Maofeng Freight can build more than ten merchant ships. In addition to Qi Mao and Pang Feng's previous cargo ships, the number of cargo ships reached nearly 30, making it the largest merchant fleet along the river. It can transport more than 6,000 stones of grain at a time, which is enough to solve the food rations of a county town in the past month.

Therefore, Qi Mao, who received this three-year loan, is buying a large amount of wood and summoning craftsmen to build a cargo ship. Every day, the shipbuilding workshop on the north bank of the Wei River outside the east gate of Xianyang City can be heard knocking on sawed wood.

Nowadays, all kinds of tools in the workshop are made of steel, with improved hand saws and extended double saws, as well as various sharp knives, axes and drills. The speed of wood processing is more than ten times faster than before. In the past, a large piece of wood was sawed into wooden boards, and they were all made of slowly chopped with axe. But now, they are made of double saws. The saw blade is eight feet long and thin and sharp. A big tree with a diameter of six feet can be quickly sawed into wooden boards. A craftsman led several apprentices to more than ten helpers, and a flat-bottomed cargo ship that was ten feet long and three feet wide could be built in a month.

As the largest shipbuilding workshop in Xianyang under the jurisdiction of the Neishi Mansion, four ships were built at the same time. The remaining ship Qimao has arranged for people to take the loan certificate from the Huaxia Money House to place an order in Xinzheng, Daliang and other places along the Dahe River. Because of this large loan of 300,000 yuan, several shipbuilding workshops were directly activated. Learning that Qimao received the large loan of Huaxia Bank personally guaranteed by the Hou of Qinghe, it even set off a craze for merchants. While envious and jealous, many quick-minded merchants began to feel excited.

There must be freight and circulation. Whether these goods from Maofeng freight are transported from the wharf or transported to the wharf, they need a large number of manual vehicles and horses to transfer. If they can rely on the Maofeng freight ship, there will be endless cargoes every day in the future. Some freighters with carriages have begun to contact Maofeng freight people, hoping to cooperate in the future to get a share of the pie.

Chen Xu didn't know about these things, nor did he want to know. As a businessman with the most sensitive sense of smell and no profit can get up early, these are inevitable things that are reasonable.

Dajiang River has been the most prosperous region in China since ancient times.

The grain from Shu and the salt from Ba County were transported to Chu through the river, and then manually transported to the Central Plains by carriages.

In the past, Qin and Chu fought for the salt of Ba County for hundreds of years.

Xianyang is located in a bitter and cold place in the northwest. It has poor resources but is densely populated. It is the largest city on the earth today. None of them. The consumption of people eating, horses, chewing, food, clothing, housing and use every day is a terrifying number. It is almost entirely dependent on cargo merchants from the southeast, northwest and northeast to Xianyang by carriages and cargo ships. Without a strong commercial foundation and transportation capacity as a guarantee, Xianyang will soon be in chaos.

Therefore, the current status of Daqin merchants is very low and bear extremely heavy taxes, but the law has never prohibited commercial transactions, and the consequences of the ban will be unimaginable.

Shang Yang initially implemented the five techniques of controlling the people, used extremely terrifying means to control the people, abolished various commercial operations, and the people in the world monitored each other like enemies. The people of Qin did not close their doors at night and did not pick up their remains. However, this perverted and strict law was strongly opposed and resisted by all walks of life. As soon as the Qin Xiaogong, who supported Shang Yang, died, Shang Yang was broken into pieces for the crime of rebellion.

Since Shang Yang's death, although Qin State still implemented a pattern of focusing on agriculture and suppressing commerce, no one mentioned the terrifying five techniques of controlling the people, and then gradually abolished them. The magic left by Shang Yang was executed more thoroughly by the military merit system and household registration system. When Qin Shihuang unified the world, the people of the six countries even disagree with the ruling status of the Qin Dynasty, and the implementation of laws became more difficult, and it was not very effective as soon as it came out of Guanzhong.

Although the merchants of the six countries were not united, their keen vision of making money had never been reduced. Currently, Qi Mao and Pang Feng, who are in charge of Maofeng freight, are charity merchants granted by the emperor. This has been spread throughout the world with newspapers and is well-known in the business world.
