Chapter 199 Has the interstellar version of Romance of the Three Kingdoms made any mistakes?
"This is for us to help them tide over the difficulties."
After Cortana finished explaining the other party's proposal, Chu Hua immediately shook his head.
"They are too far there. There are nearly 30 jumping points even from the Lanxi fiefdom. It is not easy to provide humanitarian assistance."
"Not to mention becoming a vassal force. This proposal has no value. Please reject it."
Although Chu Hua was quite interested in that "spaceman", no matter from which point of view, the Xintan Empire was not worthy of being included in Daxia's territory.
It's not that you can't accept vassals casually, but since you want to include the other party in your territory, you must be responsible.
You can't be like some people who eat everything and run away, right?
This is not a good thing for the reputation of the Daxia Empire.
Moreover, a special department must be established to handle the affairs of the Xintan Empire. Without much profit, Chu Hua cannot casually agree to other people's vassal requests.
It is not easy to recognize your godson.
Unless he wanted to be a powerful empire like the Newland Empire, Chu Hua would definitely happily agree to the other party's request for vassalage even without the wormhole.
Hearing such an answer, Cortana in the communication was not too surprised.
Recently, there has been a lot of discussion about the Xintan Empire. After learning about the other party's request, she immediately came to inquire about His Majesty's decision.
"I will inform you of the rejection of their proposal as soon as possible later."
"Um."
Cortana marked a line on the plan, which represented the completion of a task, and then continued: "The next step is the entertainment aspect."
"We have successfully implemented the film and television policies you planned at the beginning of the year."
"With a large amount of subsidies, the film and television works we produced this month increased by 75% compared to last month. Among them, animal-themed works still have the highest box office. "Out of the Planet" ranked first at the box office, and the second place was
"Kung Fu Raccoon"..."
The development of Daxia is very important, but the humanistic spirit cannot be left behind.
While listening to Cortana's report, Chu Hua looked through the status of film and television productions in the empire.
It has to be said that without piracy, a large amount of subsidies will be added.
Nowadays, individuals can get some funds for starting a business, which has led to the emergence of many shoddy film and television works.
"It seems that being too loose is not a good thing..." Chu Hua secretly thought.
It is undoubtedly the wrong thing to let artists dance in shackles.
People are often lazy.
“Why waste your brain cells by thinking hard when you can make money easily?”
To put it bluntly, technology advances because of human inertia.
If AI develops to a certain level in the future, even creation may be completed by AI.
At that time, people's tastes had already been domesticated, and I am afraid that even the works created by AI could be eaten with a smile.
Cortana quickly reported the film and television information. Chu Hua pondered for a moment and then asked: "How is the smuggling of film and television works in the country?"
"Wait a minute, let me check." Cortana flipped through the information on the tablet and began to check the data on smuggling criminal activities.
In some empires, criminals are required to pay taxes.
That's right, after committing a crime, you must submit a portion of the tax amount honestly.
It doesn't matter whether it is submitted anonymously or organized.
Because criminal behavior is relatively transparent data for rulers. It just depends on whether they are willing to manage it.
If the water is clear, there will be no fish. Everyone understands this truth.
The most important thing is that the changes in resources brought about by criminal activities are too small. The daily fluctuation of consumer goods in a city is only about 10 units.
Even if there are criminal activities, their proportion is only a few tenths of a percent.
Which ruler would focus on one or two changes in consumer goods?
Of course, the rulers can only see the degree of crime in the colony, and the detailed criminal activities are not clear.
Smuggling is one of the criminal activities.
Any products that do not pass the empire's import and export regulations will be included in the scope of contraband.
The smuggling of film and television works generally refers to illegal goods that have been released and sold in the other country's territory but have not yet been imported.
There is nothing wrong with describing it as pirated goods.
After Cortana's fingers flew on the tablet for a moment, she said, "Okay, I've integrated the data on the smuggling of film and television works."
"The most popular smuggling film and television work recently is "Black Ship Down", produced by Newland Empire."
"The one with the highest praise is the documentary "The Dust of History" produced by the Ottoman Empire. Although there are not many, the smuggling price of the first edition commemorates it remains high."
"Except, there is a work called "Spies" which also has good reviews..."
While Cortana was explaining, the data was also synchronized to Chu Hua.
Soon, Chu Hua frowned.
Because all of these works are played by real people, unlike Daxia, who are still playing virtual characters or animal themes.
"I didn't expect that we are lagging behind others in this aspect..."
Hearing Chu Hua's emotion, Cortana was a little puzzled.
"Lagging behind? Our income in this area is quite good, and the response is generally favorable, right?"
Chu Hua shook his head slightly, "The market is good now, and the main reason is due to the younger generation."
"People will grow."
"When they settle down, they will naturally pursue themes close to reality."
"So based on what you see, what should we do?" Cortana asked curiously.
Chu Hua smiled calmly, he naturally had a plan.
“Completely open the import of cultural and entertainment works, and reduce tariffs to the lowest level!”
"In addition, a film and television selection event is held every year that is not limited to participation by all empires."
Cortana was a little surprised. Such a comprehensive liberalization of cultural and entertainment projects would definitely have an impact on Daxia's cultural industry.
"Your Majesty, isn't this a bit too risky? Even if it is to stimulate the growth of the domestic entertainment industry, we should not rashly allow all entertainment works to be imported."
Chu Hua waved his hand to let Cortana relax.
"Don't worry, since I've done this, I'm sure of it."
"Uh...well, since you said so, I can't lie too much."
Seeing that His Majesty is so confident, all Cortana can do is believe.
Of course, she was not questioning Chu Hua's decision. Without his leadership, Daxia would not be where it is today.
It's just that the sudden promulgation of such a policy is indeed a bit radical.
About this policy.
After the two chatted in detail for a while, Cortana quit the communication and prepared to convene a team to draft this new plan.
As for Chu Hua, he was thinking silently in the command room, pondering a few words from time to time.
"I don't know if the interstellar Romance of the Three Kingdoms will be successful..."
"How about Infernal Affairs? Isn't espionage very popular now? We still have to keep up with the subject matter..."
