The meeting is in progress.
Ron also discussed some details of the law with the stewards.
What if someone colludes to fraudulently claim a civilian award for bravery?
Furthermore, what if someone maliciously causes trouble, and too many people with ulterior motives come to claim the prize?
Furthermore, regarding magical artifact patents, how should we deal with potential cases of unauthorized use of magical artifact patents?
...
...
There are just too many details to go on when it comes to the details of an event.
Fortunately, although the technology here is not as advanced as in my previous life, the world of Gus has magic, and similarly, divine magic is quite effective at detecting lies.
The gods must confront both false believers and true believers.
There are simply too many related sensory divine spells, and Ron happens to be a dual-elemental pope.
During the meeting, Ron immediately set the tone that priests and nuns from both religions could participate in awarding prizes, recording documents, and, at the same time, could engage in missionary work as appropriate.
However, priests and nuns should not neglect proper territorial affairs for the sake of missionary work.
The awarding of prizes is best done by priests and nuns, adding an extra layer of sanctity.
The act of brave and righteous people is as if they have gained the approval of the gods they believe in, which is very beneficial for promoting the development of local customs.
Incidentally, I also accomplished some missionary work for Pope Ron, which is great.
Those who work in logistics must do a good job in logistics.
The lord decreed, and the stewards noted it down. The next item on the agenda:
Ron further improved the current publication of vernacular stories and comic books.
"Gentlemen, large ruins have been discovered in many places on the Oran Continent. It seems that the Light Imprint Magic Technology will soon no longer be the exclusive property of my territory and the Carlo Magic Empire. In the face of possible competition in the future, I intend to further integrate the publications of the territory."
"By the way, about copyright..." Since the concept of copyright is not yet widely accepted, Ron had to explain it again.
From now on, famous people's real names and comic book names will no longer appear at the same time, along with the influence of pen names, etc.
"Gentlemen, copyright is like a magic patent, but it's less important than magic technology. Although there are no specific patent rewards for storybooks and comic books, we must pay attention to the operation of legitimate copyrights..."
I almost said "operations" directly, but I changed it to "operations" instead.
In short, it's about adding promotion.
Furthermore, to prevent the other party from maliciously distorting the content of Sandy's publications, a clause should be added to each publication reserving the right to pursue legal action…
Ron had thought it all out and was reminding everyone in real time.
If something happens to one of the author's famous comic books, the author can notify the kingdom or empire in question first and order them to take action.
If the progress of the process does not meet Sandy's satisfaction, Sandy may notify the cancellation of a portion of the cooperation with that country.
...
There are so many details.
The prerequisite for handling this matter is to have sufficient contact with various kingdoms and empires; otherwise, there is no soft deterrence.
Then the benefits of the Magic Patent Law came in: Ron could use the content of magic patents for collaborations.
Of course, the other party must agree to the magical patent system I have established. In addition to requesting an extra magic crystal, I will also outsource a portion of the advanced magical machinery inheritance.
This can also be considered another form of magic patent licensing.
Since Ron knew about the patent licensing, he naturally wanted to earn back that portion of the magic crystals in another way.
By outsourcing part of the magical artifact inheritance, the pressure on Sandy Territory has been further reduced, and it is also conducive to the promotion of magical patent law.
The connection lies in interests, and we must make good use of the various changing conditions of gains and losses.
Afterwards, Ron discussed the future publication of Sandy's book with the stewards.
Several of these items are:
"From now on, all the storybooks and comic books printed by Sandy Lingguang should have their income and expenditure details noted on the first page after the book is printed."
"From now on, novels and comic books with a rating of seven or above will no longer earn magic crystals; only the cost price will be charged. The aim is to further reduce the purchase cost of works with a rating of seven or above."
"The specific revenue and expenditure ratio for each storybook and comic book is tentatively set as follows: 15% will be the fee for the magic patent, lasting for ten years, and the skill can be managed on behalf of the user for five years..."
The magical patents here include those for making paper, and patents for light-printing magical technology, among others.
"Those who earn one to three percent of the skill will receive 30 percent, while the production, transportation, and other costs will be 5 percent, and the maker will receive 50 percent."
"For those who are fourth to sixth in skill, 15% is earned, 5% is earned for production, transportation and other costs, and the maker can get 65%."
"Those who score 70 to 100% do not earn any profit from their skills; they receive 5% of the production and transportation costs... The producer can receive 80% of the book's price."
That is, the 15% magic conversion fee over the past ten years is a bit too much.
What about ten years from now? The purchase price of storybooks and comic books can be reduced even further in ten years.
Ron then privately instructed that regardless of the type of publication, there would be no limit on the number of publications; the distribution volume would be determined by the quality of the work. Masterpieces rated 10 out of 10 would be exempt from the regulations, and 10-out-of-10 works would be published without regard to cost, and could even be sold at a loss if necessary, as a form of publicity for Sandy's rating system.
Culture is a war without gunpowder.
In this kind of warfare, there needs to be enough masterpieces to stabilize it...
There are too many historical examples from the past, but in the ancient world, the people here are still lacking the concept of cultural warfare.
A perfect balance of income and expenditure can be expressed using magic numbers in the form of pie charts or trapezoidal diagrams, and printed on the first page of the book.
People who buy storybooks or comic books can see them more intuitively.
In private, Ron also explained why the lower-scoring works were a bit more expensive: because the skill required earning a portion of magic crystals, and ideally, the magic crystals earned from this territory would be used to reprint the ten-point masterpieces.
In other words, when necessary, the territory can forgo any profit in terms of publications, and the profits can be used privately to reprint works by masters, etc.
The ratio is this ratio; when it comes to pricing, works priced at one to three cents will be more expensive.
Over time, people will gradually realize that they buy expensive items for 'happiness' and cheap items for 'practicality'.
Privately, however, the main event was about to begin, with Ron immediately giving instructions to Wright, the steward in charge of the matter.
"Manager Wright, remember this: for works rated one to three, the maker cannot ask for less magic crystals; for works rated four to six, the maker can ask for 20% less income to lower the price; for works rated seven to nine, the maker can choose to use 40% to lower the price; and for masterpieces rated ten, the maker can choose not to receive any income and use all of it to lower the purchase price."
"..."
"..."
There's a lot to say about this in private, but the main point is simple: in the eyes of professional graders, high-scoring books have more authority and are cheaper. Also, considering the overall price based on factors such as cost, higher scores make it easier to achieve good results.
Sandy's publications performed well, which in turn determined their circulation.
It's a bit convoluted, but that's how it is.
Those who can create masterpieces may have other motives. What they may be after is not magic crystals, but fame, missionary work, and so on.
Fortunately, under the current conditions, Ron has improved the regulations for creation and publication, allowing top-tier creators to choose not to receive magic crystal income. Meanwhile, Sandy was already planning to lose money on promotion... Well, something rated as a top-tier entertainment item might become dirt cheap even faster than a magic book.
As the number of long-distance teleportation arrays increases, transportation costs can be further reduced.
It's almost here; the day when everyone has a copy of a masterpiece isn't far off. (￣ ￣?)
One to three minutes of nonsensical content, corresponding to spending magic crystals to buy happiness, further reminds us that different types of content should not be taken seriously.
Just in case, Ron privately stipulated that all publications in Sandy territory must specify the degree of authenticity of each work.
The content is entirely based on real cultivation experiences, that's undeniable, but the creators should have clearly stated and cautioned regarding the reliability of the plot as a reference...
...
After completing and refining various institutional aspects, the meeting moved on to the next topic.
Next one.
...
Lord Ron is unusually diligent.
During the meeting, there were times when Lord Ron spoke, and times when the heads of various departments spoke. Individual ideas and wisdom are always limited, so let's all work together!
After a long while, the meeting finally came to an end.
Afterwards, Ron kept Wright with him.
Inside the lord's room on the top floor of the consulate building.
Wright bowed: "What are your orders, Lord?"
"Wright! Go down and ask the masters of the works for me to speed up their productions... Oh, and Kivor, have him come to the lord's manor soon, I want to ask him something."
"Yes, my lord."
"Then, Wright, you can go."
"Yes, my lord."
As Wright left, Ron closed his eyes and thought about other things.
We must be prepared to respond to the changes on the mainland.
Okay, that's about it.
Seeing Rita standing to the side, Ron immediately asked, "Rita, can you still remember anything about the witches? Also, in the North, are there any ruins worth exploring?"
Make the necessary preparations; better safe than sorry.
