...

When Chen Xu and a group of people in the newspaper office were eating and drinking at the Qinghe Hotel and brainwashing the slogans, Li Si's confession of defeat in the court spread in just a few hours and became well-known throughout Xianyang.

The most exciting thing was the more than 100,000 wealthy merchants who migrated to Xianyang, so the south of the city where merchants gathered was simply jubilant.

When the news spread to the trading market outside the East Gate of Xianyang, the market suddenly became noisy. Countless merchants excitedly threw down their items and cheered and hugged each other in the market. The rich merchants took large bags of copper coins and threw them to the civilians who were transporting goods, which aroused the competition and sensation of the entire market.

Even more excited, the merchants sent helpers to go straight to the southeast along the Dongfang Road, and wanted to pass the news that Li Si had admitted his defeat in advance back to his family and territory to share this exciting news together.

Under Chen Xu's arrangement, Chen Ping and others rushed back to the office to work overtime overnight, and typed out the matter of Li Si admitting defeat in advance. At the same time, Chen Ping also wrote a "New Theory of Magic" based on what Chen Xu said at the table as the tone.

The next morning, the latest issue of Daqin Metropolis Daily was launched overnight. Countless cars and horses carried large bundles of newspapers to newspapers and bookstores inside and outside the city. Hundreds of newspaper boys were sold along the street. Countless newspaper merchants specializing in newspaper sales were arranged to send new newspapers to their respective sales areas after getting the newspapers.

Countless people have been waiting for the sales points of various newspapers.

Based on past experience, even if the news agency is not released at the time of the new newspaper, it will inevitably issue a special issue.

Sure enough, they all waited for the new newspaper they wanted.

It is not a special issue, but a supplementary issue with complete content in one issue. However, it uses two pages of content to introduce in detail the beginning, process and ending of the entire bet. In the center of the front page, a row of large characters are printed in extra-large thick black fonts.

"The bet for the ages, the Hou Sheng of Qinghe!"

If it were the color printing era in later generations, there would inevitably be photos of Li Si and Chen Xu glaring at each other below, and a large red VS logo with lightning torn apart in the middle.

Although the printing factory worked overtime overnight, tens of thousands of newspapers printed were snatched away almost instantly. More newsstands and newspaper merchants couldn't wait to go straight to the printing factory near the School of Literature, and competed for the printed newspapers with tickets and wallets.

Compared with the previous few conquests of the Hungarian and Hu and the floods, the looting was even more powerful.

Because no one in Xianyang people had a personal feeling about the Huns or floods. Conquering the Huns was actually the emperor's task, and expanding territory had nothing to do with the people, and the floods in the southeast were even more painful. If it weren't for the Qinghe Hou's vigorously advocating disaster relief, it could be said that the people of Xianyang and many merchants would not care about it at all. Ordinary people could not eat enough, and no one had the energy or free time to care about natural disasters and man-made disasters. Even those who were interested would sigh at most and were powerless. Especially for merchants, there were not many concepts such as profit-oriented groups, morality and compassion. What they were most concerned about was whether they could make money or whether it would be beneficial to their future money. Just like Qi Mao took over the transportation of disaster relief clothes, it was not because of his kind heart, but just for Chen Xu's reputation. Then he seized this opportunity and succeeded.

In any era, don’t expect businessmen to truly care about the people’s poverty. All their starting points are purposeful, just look at what results this purpose will lead to.

Therefore, although merchants are rich, they are not particularly interested in newspapers. Otherwise, if more than 100,000 wealthy merchants in Xianyang have one copy, the sales of at least 100,000 copies in each issue of Xianyang newspaper alone will be at least 100,000 copies.

But today, all the merchants in this newspaper want to have a sneak peek.

Because Li Si admitted defeat to the victory of the Qinghe Hou, this was almost the victory of all the merchants, and it was the victory obtained by tens of thousands of merchants who participated in the fundraising for the construction of the Oriental Road with almost all their belongings.

For a time, paper in Xianyang was expensive, and the price of a newspaper was soon hyped to 20 yuan and 30 yuan. There were still shortages of supply. There were scalpers running around in the south of the city, and they used newspapers they got from some unknown places to make money from merchants.

Every businessman who got the newspaper would inevitably gather around a large group of colleagues, gathered together to review and discuss the contents in the newspaper, and began to speculate on the laws that would be implemented after the victory of Qinghe Hou, and then what substantial impact would have on future business and transactions.

What businessmen care about is what benefits they will get after paying so much.

And many people are concerned about the last recruitment advertisement on the front page.

"Qinghe Hou sincerely invites people who are proficient in business and laws in the world to participate in the compilation and revision of the new business laws. At the same time, he also enthusiastically solicits new business laws manuscripts, and will eventually select ten manuscripts with value and influence from these manuscripts, one special prize, one special prize, one special prize, and one special prize, and one special prize, two first prizes, three second prizes, two thousand coins, four third prizes, and one thousand coins…”

As the saying goes, money can make the devil push the mill.

As the saying goes, there must be brave men under heavy rewards.

In short, with the release of newspapers, people have begun to consult the conditions for joining the new law compilation and revision team. There are also some people who think they are talented to spread out paper and pick up pens to prepare for ideas on new business laws.

No matter whether you can get a bonus or not, you are still idle anyway, and you won’t get pregnant even if you write a submission.

Therefore, in the following days, as the newspaper circulation became larger and larger, and it was spread farther and farther away by the business traveling from south to north, the entire Dongfang Road almost began to cause a sensation, and at the same time, a large number of manuscripts were also begun to be submitted to newspaper offices.

In recent days, Chen Xu has also received dozens of well-known business representatives in Xianyang City, and asked Yang Kun to convene some literati who are proficient in business to discuss various current business-related laws one by one, to see which ones should be retained, which should be abolished, and which can be modified and used. Moreover, Chen Xu himself spent most of his time in newspapers to watch more and more submissions to see if he could find some manuscripts that match this era and have good creativity in order to provide more help in compiling the new commercial law.

Generally speaking, the class hierarchy distinction in this era is quite obvious. Although the concept of the Legal disciples is equal, it is actually a law to facilitate the interests of the ruling class. The purpose is to suppress merchants and civilians to safeguard the interests of the emperor and the nobles. Therefore, there is no difference between the Legalists in this era and the Confucians in later generations in essence, and it is even more hated.

But the Legalists are different from Confucianism after all. After all, at least they have an ideological foundation of equality in theory, which means they have advanced concepts that transcend Confucianism. However, the limitations of the times have made the disciples of Legalists unable to break through the constraints of ideas. What Chen Xu had to do was not to abandon magic to govern the country, but to promote new magic concepts, so as not to let China move towards the direction of rule by mankind again. After all, the legal system is the correct direction for the future development of mankind.

In the late Qing Dynasty, a large number of legal scholars began to vigorously promote Shang Yang and Han Feizi, advocated learning Western culture and even promoting democracy and legal system because they felt that the rule of man based on the thoughts of Confucius and Mencius could not keep up with the development of human civilization. If they continue, they would only make China weaker and weaker. In the midst of the accumulation and difficulty, they had to go through a process of scraping the bones and washing the marrow to gain rebirth. Therefore, in the situation of internal and external difficulties during the Republic of China, a large number of legal masters and even active literary masters were born.

In fact, the Republic of China period was a bit like the controversy between the hundreds of schools of thought during the Spring and Autumn Period. Not only did the thoughts and literature extremely prosperous, but also the art extremely prosperous.

However, this prosperity did not last long and declined again because of World War II.

Later, the New China re-advocated the blooming of hundreds of flowers and the hundreds of schools of thought to contend, but that was just a flash in the pan and then it was all returned to the dust.

Since the Qin Dynasty now has the foundation for magical governance, Chen Xu can naturally use this foundation to push the Qin Dynasty forward, break out of the limitations of the times and look at the future, and use new magical ideas to promote new magical governance.

Now with the help of Chen Ping and other new generation literati class who started in the underworld, the support of almost all merchants in the world, and the support of ministers who benefited from many convenient business in the court. In addition to the authorization of the emperor, there will be almost no problems with this business law reform.

Even if there are some twists and turns, at most it may be caused by some discomfort caused by the law and regulations being too advanced. Therefore, these are the reasons why Chen Xu needs to solicit opinions from the public.

It is in line with the times, with the current national conditions, and with the cognitive habits of the emperor to merchants and civilians. After sorting out, a new set of business rules was introduced. This is Chen Xu's goal.

After ten or eight years, everything about Daqin will be on the right track of the legal system under his plan, and many unreasonable areas will be revised again.

During this period, some civilians who were proficient in business and law and were interested in Chen Xu's revision of business laws came to newspapers for interviews. A large number of merchants even came to Chen Qing from other counties. Chen Xu also collected more than a dozen people with broad vision and active thoughts. At the same time, some merchant representatives, including Yang Kun and Fan Caiying, held consecutive meetings to convey their guiding ideology, and then slowly began to review and edit new business laws based on the business laws of the Qin Dynasty and the various manuscripts they received.

Chen Xu's requirements for the new commercial law are also detailed and comprehensive. He took out all the vague regulations in the previous commercial law and discussed them one by one, and then compiled them into a general commercial law framework, including the "Industrial and Commercial Registration Administration Law", "Product Quality Law", "Tax Registration Administration Law", "Contract Law", "Production Administration Law", "Special Commercial Operation Management Law", etc. These new laws cover all industries and behaviors related to business that can be covered by business, businessmen, craftsmen, manufacturing, quality, contracts, taxation, etc.

As for the guiding opinions on these new laws listed by Chen Xu, all those involved were shocked by Chen Xu's big moves and rigorous attitude.
