Even with Sean's scraps of knowledge as a guide, they would have wasted a lot of manpower and material resources and taken countless detours to truly develop mature printing technology.
Even if the Warlock Alliance is a group of smart people, it is not that simple to create something from scratch.
"Is it that simple?" Antoine looked in disbelief.
"It's that simple!" President Abner nodded with great certainty.
"It's that simple, but no one has ever thought of it before?" Antoine still couldn't accept it.
"It's not that no one has thought of it. Even if they have thought of it, it is meaningless because there is not so much paper in hand. If you just copy a book, is it easier for you to carve a bunch of seals and print it? Or is it easier to just copy it?" Abner
He spread his hands and asked.
This method of printing through seals is an adjunct to large quantities of paper. Without the latter, it has no meaning.
"So, our focus this time is on this new paper manufacturing technology?" Aubrey asked.
"That's right, as long as we have a lot of paper, we can solve the problem of writing by ourselves. I don't believe that we, with so many bachelors, can't even solve this problem." Antoine gritted his teeth and said.
What the Warlock Alliance is most proud of is the preservation and inheritance of knowledge.
Nowadays, the upgrading of paper as a carrier of knowledge and the way of recording have undergone technological changes without their guidance, which makes them look very shameless.
"Grandmaester Antoine is too obsessed. Regardless of whether we can obtain this new paper manufacturing technology from the leader of the Yongye Army, the emergence of this new technology is a blessing to scholars all over the world.
The dissemination of knowledge will be much easier. Isn't this what we have always wanted to do but failed to do? Therefore, this time we go to seek this technology is secondary, the most important thing is to represent the scholars of the Warlock Alliance
We are grateful for their contribution to cultural dissemination." Abner obviously considered the issue from a higher perspective.
After thinking for a while, President Abner continued: "In order to express our sincerity, I suggest that some of the orphan books in the great library be sorted out, and that Grand Maester Antoine and I take them to the Yongye Army, and
Instead of giving them as gifts, we use their hands to print them into books and spread them widely throughout the world, so that they can display their due value and at the same time prevent them from being damaged and the knowledge on them will be permanently lost."
"The suggestion of the President of the General Assembly does make some sense, but it is a bit risky to carry a bunch of precious original books all the way. If you are not careful, they will be destroyed. It is better to go like this, the President of the General Assembly and Grand Maester Antoine will go on the road first.
, we organize manpower here to organize and transcribe these orphan copies, and then send people to transport these transcribed parts to the Yongye Army Leader, using this as a blueprint, the effect will be the same." Academician Gal, who has always been somewhat taciturn, suggested.
"It is indeed safer to do this." President Abner did not insist on his opinion, "However, this transcription needs to be done more carefully. Regardless of the language, artistic conception, or writing, the flavor of the original book should be retained as much as possible, otherwise once they are used for writing,
If the blueprint is engraved, the errors on it will be circulated to the world, and our sin will be great."
"Understood, I will arrange for people to check them repeatedly to confirm their accuracy." Grand Master Gal nodded seriously.
"Then let us act separately. It is best to start sorting out the lone copy now. It is best to take some of it with us when we leave." General Speaker Abner suggested.
"No problem, I will arrange manpower to carry out this matter as soon as possible."
After some further discussions, and after confirming that nothing else was missing, the five powerful figures in the Warlock Alliance dispersed to digest what they had learned this time.
They are also making two-pronged preparations. On the one hand, they are trying to get it from the leader of the Yongye Army, and on the other hand, they want to research it themselves.
These bachelors have their own arrogance. As long as others can do it, they can do it.
Sean knew nothing about the Flower Language Plateau, and even if they did meet, it would only be a few months later.
Even if he knew, Sean wouldn't take it to heart.
The Warlock Alliance is not the first company to worry about and try to imitate what the leader of the Eternal Night Army has in his hands, and it will not be the last company.
As soon as any valuable commodity begins to circulate, it is inevitable that it will be targeted.
In previous lives, flower growers became famous by relying on various imitations. In the end, one column won one basket, and the imitations surpassed the originals.
In this life, the whole world is so poor that Sean can only create his own original works and wait for others to copy and plagiarize his work.
There is absolutely no way to prevent this kind of thing. Is it possible that the product that I have worked so hard to develop will not be circulated because I am afraid of being imitated and plagiarized?
If his vision is so short-sighted, Sean will stop innovating.
The only thing they can do is to prevent the original leader of the Yongye Army from standing still, but to run forward at a faster speed, always leaving them behind.
Therefore, half of the Kingsley family's first war compensation (fifteen million royal gold coins) went directly into the pockets of the major research departments of the Yongye Army.
No one can clearly count how many research departments the Yongye Army has now.
They are like vines that keep growing. Once one issue is solved, two new issues may develop. If these two new issues are not resolved, another three issues will emerge.
However, these issues cannot be ignored just yet. Just because they are useless now, does not mean they will not be useful in the future.
These basic topics are the foundation for solving higher problems. Only by laying a good foundation can all aspects of Yongye Army, including black technology, be able to achieve breakthroughs.
In terms of research, the biggest headache for Sean right now is not the funding issue. Even without the injection of war compensation funds, the Yongye Army Leader has no shortage of financial allocation for this area.
In addition to part of the official business income of the Yongye Army being invested in the factory to expand production, a part will also be used to establish special research funds to support the territory's advancement of the technology tree.
The former is an unexpected surprise, while the latter is a steady flow.
This kind of strategic vision can be possessed by any general with some knowledge, not to mention Sean.
What restricts the vigorous development of Yong Ye Jun's research career is talent.
To be more precise, Yong Ye's military leader has never had enough research talents. Every time, he selects generals out of thin air and trains them now.
For this reason, when the Yongye Army was still the Yongye Army and the finances were extremely poor, Sean promoted various basic education in the territory to reserve talents for future development.
Doing this did not cause controversy within the Yongye Army, especially those who were not from the Youth Army, and did not have a deep feeling that knowledge is power.
I always feel that it is unwise to invest so much human and financial resources on the children of ordinary citizens.
If you have this spare money, you might as well invest in military construction.
However, at that time, most of them had not long since joined the Yongye Army, and they did not have much say in their hands. They were all cautious and did not speak out.
Years later, they couldn't help but feel lucky that they didn't speak out.
Facts have once again proved that Sean has foresight that ordinary people cannot imagine, and every path he chooses is correct, at least so far.
Many policies that seem ridiculous or thankless at the moment will, after several or even ten years of fermentation, lead to reaping benefits several times or even dozens of times.
Outsiders only saw the strong soldiers and horses led by Yong Ye's army, and attributed their rise to luck.
It happened to coincide with the outbreak of the slave gladiator uprising led by the Manyu Army, giving it enough time and space for development.
The reflow of the Jacob River caused their goods to flow out of the mountains, plundering a large amount of wealth for them.
And it indirectly affected the Swamp of Despair, giving them a new direction of development.
But they didn't think about it.
Under what circumstances did the uprising of slave gladiators led by the Manyu Army break out?
If it were not for being tricked by the Yongye Army, the order of the Manyu Army itself would have fallen into chaos. Whether the Slave Gladiator Rebellion could become a big one is still a question.
The reflow of the Jacob River is not the result of the power of heaven and earth, but the power of man.
If what rises in the Andis Mountains is not the Eternal Night Army Leader, but the Walled City Alliance, will the Jacob River flow again?
Even if the Jacob River can flow again.
If Sean hadn't established a good relationship with the regent princess in advance, developed the shipbuilding industry in advance, and prepared various competitive products.
Even if they faced this convenient water transportation line, they could only stare blankly like the lords of other territories.
Take a long-term view.
Not everyone can do it.
Sean also took advantage of his previous life.
Because of this series of achievements as a foreshadowing, no matter how incredible a decision Sean made among the military leaders, others would not dare to easily jump out and veto it. Instead, they would carefully weigh it, weigh it again, and deduce it again and again.
People like Skullcrusher McGee and Tagore who have relatively straight temperaments will mostly ask Sean directly about his purpose and future plans.
However, there are some things that can be explained clearly, and there are other things that Sean himself does not dare to insist on, so he can only speak vaguely.
No one is perfect. Sean only has experience in his past life, but he does not have the ability to predict the future. There will always be some mistakes in some decisions, both big and small.
It was just a lot of small mistakes that were overshadowed by the dazzling results of other successful decisions.
As the Eternal Night Army grew bigger and bigger, Sean's experience in his previous life was almost exhausted. Many times, he had to study like crazy just to barely keep up with the development and growth of the Eternal Night Army.
Fortunately, they now have a big business and their ability to resist risks has been greatly improved. As long as they can grasp the general direction and avoid problems, professional problems can be solved by professional talents, such as ceramic factories, steel mills, arsenals, and shipyards.
, paper mills and other professional manufacturing plants, Sean rarely goes there anymore.
Even if they do go, most of them are for inspection instead of making suggestions like before.
First of all, my own experience can no longer keep up. If I continue to give suggestions, I will be giving blind orders.
Secondly, where did he get so much time?
Not to mention anything else, just talking about shipyards, there are as many as twenty-three official shipyards under the Yongye Army, not to mention the private micro-shipyards that have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.
As mentioned before, the Yong Ye Army Leader started with an out-and-out territorial business model. All goods and profits belonged to the territory. Both workers and merchants actually worked for the military leader. They took a dead salary, even if they created
No matter how great the commercial value is, it has little to do with them.
The flower grower where Sean worked in his previous life has told him through history that this method has advantages and disadvantages.
Needless to say the benefits, from the factory to the sales, all the profit areas are taken, and the benefits can naturally be maximized.
The disadvantage is that human beings are lazy and selfish creatures. Even if they don't have it at the beginning, as time goes by and the environment changes, their hearts will become corrupted bit by bit.
When they see that all the huge profits are eaten up by the territory, but they receive a meager dead salary, some people will gradually lose their psychological balance.
Those who have no power in their hands are better off. At most, they are passive and slack in work, living in idleness and waiting to die.
It is dangerous for those who have power in their hands. Some small thoughts will spread in their hearts, and they will wonder if they can take some from it and put it in their own pockets?
Although from the very beginning, Yongye Military Leader became the Military Supervisory Authority, with the rapid development of the economy, the Economic Supervisory Authority was extended to specifically supervise this area. The punishment is quite severe. If it exceeds a certain amount, once it is implemented, it will be directly punished.
Send the guillotine.
Even so, there will still be people who can't resist the temptation and take risks.
Don't question the speed of corruption. Although the Yongye Army Leader is a brand new force, the economic explosion is too fast and the amount of money involved is too large. This has caused many people who cannot keep up with their psychological development to become psychologically unbalanced and begin to suffer from this.
Clues.
Although no one has reached the lowest limit yet, some people have begun to frequently test the attitude of the leader of the Yongye Army.
The Economic Supervisory Service had no choice but to launch a rectification campaign in this regard.
But doing this will not only hug the corrupt elements, but also some good people will be involved, which will easily break their hearts.
Many times, the rectification movement is not carried out by the superiors, but because the people below have gone too far and have to take measures.
This method treats the symptoms but not the root cause.
It is also a common problem for people to forget the pain after the scar is healed.
As long as that huge source of temptation is still there, sooner or later someone will be tempted to reach out and grab it.
When it cannot be stopped and everyone becomes a moth, that is when the system will fall apart.
Were the state-owned enterprises of flower growers really unprofitable and uncompetitive in the market before they were privatized?
There may be reasons for this, but they are very few. Most of them are the interests of state-owned enterprises, which have been hollowed out by those moths at all costs.
Instead of waiting for the situation in his territory to worsen, Sean took a three-pronged approach.
As the economy of the Yongye Army takes off, its financial resources become richer, and salaries in all walks of life are also constantly increasing. This is to delay their dissatisfaction as much as possible, and at the same time strengthen ideological cultivation to continue to extend the life of this system.
.
I believe that with a tough attitude and strong supervision by the Economic Supervisory Service, the country will not completely collapse in the next twenty or thirty years, and the folk customs of Yongye Army are still very simple.
Another is to encourage the emergence of private factories and private enterprises.
In the territorial factories or caravans, if you feel aggrieved and dislike those who make less money, you can choose to go out and work alone, as long as you are not trying to transfer profits from the territorial factories or caravans, or violate the law and discipline, the leader of the Yongye Army
The overall policy is supportive.
It is true that it is a seller's market now, and the supply of various commodities exceeds demand, but the Yongye Army leader must consider the future.
Economic development is like a snowball. Once you have enough capital, it will get bigger and bigger. When the goods start to become rich, someone will need to go out to expand the market.
These independent businessmen are the best candidates.
If the Yongye Army leader had enough merchants, would Sean still need to use the food merchants in the Flower Language Plateau to develop the market in the Flower Language Plateau?
They only need to slightly adjust the incentive policies among the military leaders, such as offering preferential prices on the Huayu Plateau, and countless businessmen will flock to lead the battle for the Yongye Army Leader.
At that time, the wealth will not flow out at all, it will all be brought back to the Evernight Army Territory, and then they will continue to invest in expanding production, and the territory's corresponding tax revenue will also follow.
This is a virtuous cycle.
Economic invasion, economic plunder, those individual businessmen are better than the army.
In the final analysis, the establishment of Yongye Military Leader was too short, the strategic layout has not been completely completed, and all aspects have not been able to catch up. The road they have to take in the future is still extremely long.
While the Yong Ye army leaders were busy running around from top to bottom, Sean seemed much more leisurely than before.
This is the benefit brought by his initial pursuit of a complete system.
All departments perform their respective duties.
All officers and soldiers follow their orders.
All the people in the territory should keep their posts.
