Chapter 154 Newspaper
After returning to China, Jun Qiulan arranged the development in ancient times, and then he accepted the notice to be a permanent guest on a variety show in modern times.
On average, we record one episode a week, which takes about one day. Including the time spent on the road, it takes about two days.
When Yan Jing asked about this, Jun Qiulan could only smile and say, "It feels pretty good."
This variety show mainly promotes cultural tourism in various places, where people eat, drink, see the scenery, and play games.
The overall experience was very good, and it also allowed Jun Qiulan to see all aspects of the world, or the customs and habits of other regions.
It won't take too much time, which is just right for his current situation.
For the rest of the time, he could control the overall situation in ancient times.
In this way, the exposure and income on the modern side are maintained, and the ancient side does not have to worry about him as a leader not showing up for a long time.
Even though everything has been arranged, there are always endless meetings.
A small meeting every day, a big meeting every three days.
He can let his father help him preside over small meetings, but he still has to show up for large meetings.
Many times, after everyone has brainstormed, they still need someone who can make the final decision.
No matter what, they can only be considered a makeshift team now.
Throughout history, other people who rebelled had already had their own teams or forces, and these people just got together in the past one or two years.
What's more, the rebellion they want to launch is different from traditional rebellion. It is to make the people stand up.
Things in ancient times were complicated, so after being sorted out, they were still initially carried out according to the traditional model, divided into several major departments according to everyone's abilities and specialties.
Ministry of Revenue, Ministry of Personnel, Ministry of War, Ministry of Justice, Ministry of Works. There is no Ministry of Rites for the time being, but there is an additional Ministry of Commerce.
There are still six parts, but they are also subdivided below.
The responsibilities of each department were divided into more details, including other service departments they were going to set up.
For example, they had envisioned the public security, courts and other departments at the beginning.
In the past, these were all under the management of local officials, the prefecture capital was under the jurisdiction of the prefect, and the county town was under the jurisdiction of the county magistrate.
Now everything has to be divided up, and officials like prefects and county magistrates are responsible for handling local internal affairs.
Case trial, investigation, sentencing, detention, and labor reform are all divided into other parts, each with its own responsibilities.
As a result, the number of their existing "comrades" will not be enough.
Thanks to the propaganda officers, they constantly promoted their ideas among the people and organized several large-scale civil service examinations.
Regardless of gender, the capable one will be given the position.
As long as you can pass the exam and on-the-job training, you can get the job.
When this news was first released, many people expressed disbelief.
The new government actually hires even women?
There has never been a precedent for this.
But the heads of the Ministry of Commerce are the two ladies.
That is Jun Qiulan's mother and General Huo's wife. The Minister of Commerce is Song Xirong and the Deputy Minister is Mrs. Huo.
Other departments also have two officials: the director and the deputy director.
With these two ladies taking the lead, families in the city with daughters who were educated youth in the village also encouraged them to give it a try.
You won’t know if it works until you try it.
Especially for merchants, in the past, not only women but also men did not have the opportunity to become officials.
Now that we are promoting equality for all, they must seize this opportunity.
Their business class will no longer be inferior to others.
The first people to come out were girls and women from slightly wealthier families, or girls and women like Qian Miaoer who had been exiled and were literate.
no way.
The first stage of the exam is a written test. If you can’t even recognize all the characters, how can you expect to become an official?
In the past, educational resources were limited, and only wealthy families would think of teaching their daughters to learn to read and write.
Seeing that someone had taken the lead and passed the exam, the girls' enthusiasm was greatly boosted.
Apart from those rich girls and women, the rest were the first batch of students entering the girls' school.
The girls' school is now on the right track. Song Xirong is in charge of the Ministry of Commerce, and the girls' school is handed over to her second aunt Xu Lian next door.
At the beginning, the female students had ideas but did not dare to say them. After all, it was the girls' school that trained them, so they naturally had to stay and serve the school.
Girls' schools teach knowledge in the morning, learn skills after mastering the knowledge, and work in the afternoon to pay for tuition.
The factory's production has not been able to keep up with sales, and the goods they produce have always been in short supply. If they leave, won't there be no one to work?
Although women serving as officials are still criticized, this is their chance to change their destiny.
Since last year, with the promulgation of various policies, the lives of these women have become much better than before.
They have now learned knowledge and understood principles, and the former principal has also subtly imparted to them ideas. Women can also hold up half the sky. Who says women are inferior to men?
After thinking it over, a few brave girls took the initiative to find the current principal, Xu, and explained their ideas.
Xu Lian was particularly pleased.
She was just waiting, thinking in her heart that if no one took the initiative to talk about it in the next few days, she would also take the initiative to bring up this matter in class.
For many things, the core difference is whether you are willing to take that step and whether others push you to take that step.
With someone taking the lead, there will naturally be girls following.
Not only the students of the girls' school, but also the women who had received education in the village stood up bravely and sought such an opportunity for themselves.
As for the factory workers, what will happen if there are not enough people?
The previous policy was promulgated, and after that, when selecting workers, priority was given to educated girls, that is, those from the village.
In the official examination, the number of people admitted will never be too large, and they have to compete with men, so many girls fail.
But they already had a foundation, so they could be admitted to girls' schools to continue learning knowledge, learn skills, and then work.
In this way, a virtuous cycle is formed.
Those in the village who were still reluctant to let their daughters go to school are now tempted.
Not only can you work in a factory, but you also have the opportunity to become an official.
Even though they are basically minor clerks and other small employees, they are still working for the government.
If that’s not an official, what could it be?
Nowadays, boys and girls have the same opportunities to compete.
In addition, the Women's Federation that Jun Qiulan had asked Tian Rui to form before has also been put on the right track, and is now being run by Tian Rui and Mrs. Tian.
Mrs. Tian is Duan Wen’s wife. She also came from the village and understands the difficulties faced by women at the bottom of society.
What’s even more interesting is that Mrs. Tian and Tian Rui have the same surname, are on good terms with each other, and now they have a common goal, so they directly recognized each other as godrelatives.
Duan Wendu was still joking that he was already at this age and had a younger brother.
Tian Rui also wrote a letter to his mother and sent money, asking his mother to hire a team of escorts to bring her over for a reunion.
The Women's Federation also recruited a number of women who were suitable for this department during this civil service examination.
Few men choose this option, after all, it is really difficult for men to put themselves in women's shoes and think about the problem from a woman's perspective.
That is Tian Rui, who had been a woman for more than ten years and could understand the difficulties of being a woman.
Occasionally, it is necessary for the same sex to stand in the position of the opposite sex to stimulate men who think they are great.
Generally speaking, most of the recruits were women, and only a few men were recruited, and they were all recruited after strict investigation.
Only men who respect their female elders, respect their female peers, and care for their female juniors have the opportunity to join the Women's Federation.
The Women's Federation is affiliated with the government department, but it is independent.
From now on, women who are oppressed, treated unfairly, subjected to domestic violence, forced to marry, etc. can ask the Women's Federation to make decisions for them.
After the Women's Federation in the border town gets on the right track, these experienced people will be sent to other states as pioneers.
This is not only true for this department, but also for other departments.
All policies and regulations are first tested in border towns and if there are no major problems, they will be promoted to other state capitals.
At the same time, it is also training talents for other state capitals.
They will only be sent out after they are able to stand on their own two feet.
However, several states that had surrendered before are now following in their footsteps.
It’s close, so we learn quickly and the road is now open.
Besides, the magistrate Wang who was unwilling to surrender and only wanted to be a crayfish was timid, which is understandable.
But now, under pressure from the people, he took the initiative to come to the border town and express his surrender.
There is no way. Several surrounding state capitals are developing rapidly, and they are the only one stuck in the middle. Those who go there to set up factories are all bosses from the border town.
How can I not be jealous?
There is another Lord Wang.
He had come to the border town as a military supervisor and delivered the imperial edict to Jun Qiulan. After that, he stayed in the border town. It was said that he was planning to call all his family members over.
But Jun Qiulan was not completely confident in this person.
Wang Shuo was the emperor's man before, and being sent by the emperor to deliver a secret decree meant a lot.
Moreover, it is also a mystery how the emperor knew the news of the border town so clearly and why he had not taken any action against them before.
Therefore, Wang Shuo was not given any important position for the time being. He had been following Su Changxun, doing some basic things until he had a certain ideological awareness.
There's no way a traitor could sneak in and end up causing them to lose everything and harm so many of their comrades.
Yan Jing listened to Jun Qiulan's words and felt a sense of emotion in his heart, "Back then, our revolutionary ancestors made even more efforts and sacrifices."
They are all amazing people.
At that time, at a certain stage, there were actually some similarities with today's Dasheng and Jun Qiulan.
One country, two regimes.
Civil war is inevitable.
Jun Qiulan leaned over and kissed him, "We can be considered as copying homework, we are all learning from China's revolutionary predecessors."
Yan Jing smiled and said, "Then again, if you rebel, you're going to change the dynasty. It's come to this, and you still haven't thought about the name of your country?"
Although they said they would accumulate grain and then slowly claim the throne, they are now in conflict with the imperial court.
It's time to have your own flag.
It will also let the people know what country they are from, who the country's leaders are, what these leaders have done for them, and what heroic deeds they have done.
Even though these things may sound like bragging, the people today need to understand them.
Listening more and seeing more is also a kind of ideological and moral education, which can help them awaken their own thoughts.
Just like in the nine-year compulsory education, the Chinese textbooks contain many selections of heroic deeds, as well as poems and articles by various leaders.
The goal is to let everyone understand their country from a young age.
It's not too late for Jun Qiulan and the others now. No one has done this before. If they publicize it, it will be a new thing for the people and they will be more accepting of it.
Recently, Yan Jing has also been discussing the printing of newspapers with Yan Su.
In the past when there was no television or broadcasting, newspapers were the most direct and effective way for people to understand current affairs.
On the first page of the newspaper, Yan Jing wanted to decide the name of the new country.
Jun Qiulan also hesitated: "How about calling it Huaxia?"
Yan Jing couldn't help laughing. "Our two worlds are of the same origin. We are all descendants of Yan and Huang. There's nothing wrong with calling ourselves Huaxia."
Jun Qiulan nodded: "Then I'll discuss it with everyone next time I go back and listen to their opinions."
Yan Jingzhi nodded and said, "When the time comes, design the national flag and other things so that we can print it at the newspaper."
Jun Qiulan: "Are you really not going to focus on your movie? I feel like you're almost half ancient."
Anyway, when he appeared in ancient times, Yan Jing had to go with him.
Yan Jing: "According to my grandfather's origins, I already have a quarter of ancient blood. If I say that ancient times are my hometown, that's fine. Then it's only natural for me to make some contributions to my hometown."
Besides, my grandfather is also concerned about ancient issues, so I have to ask him about the situation every now and then.
If he doesn't participate, how can he answer his grandfather's questions?
In other words, grandpa is too old to worry too much, otherwise he would have to go to ancient times himself to create a big career.
The film is still in the editing stage and will be given to him for review. He does not need to personally edit the soundtrack.
After all, he is a big director, he has no shortage of funds, and his team is considered the best in the country.
After working together on several previous films, they have developed a certain level of tacit understanding, so he doesn't need to worry too much.
It will be submitted for review later.
As for the promotion of the movie, it’s not too late to wait until the release date is set.
He's not worried about the box office.
This is the confidence of being a well-known director.
Jun Qiulan was a little helpless. "Then you should set up an independent department to print your newspaper. Don't just let Yan's Bookstore print it directly."
Yan's Bookstore is spread throughout Dasheng, and now it also serves as their messenger, specifically searching for information from all over Dasheng and then delivering it.
I have to say, the telegraph machine Yan Jing got is really easy to use.
Although more distant places require multiple communications, it can basically be guaranteed that all information will arrive the same day.
The morning message can be received at the latest in the evening after being delivered several times.
This also allowed them to know a lot of information in advance.
Compared with the old way of sending messages by horse and carriage, it is much faster.
It is precisely because of this that it cannot be printed directly by Yan's Bookstore.
There are not many cities under their control now. If Da Sheng knows about Yan's Bookstore, the Yan's Bookstore in the prefecture that has not yet been incorporated into the territory will be in danger.
Yan Jing: "Don't worry, we can't have failed to consider such a low-level mistake, right?"
Jun Qiulan smiled and said, "Okay, okay, I'm just worrying too much. By the way, should I also get you an official position?"
"That's not necessary." Yan Jing couldn't help laughing: "It's enough to have cousin Su to manage it. I'm just an extra staff member."
Occasionally he would offer a few suggestions from a modern perspective, and that was about it.
He actually didn't want to interfere too much, he just wanted to help.
After becoming relatives with the ancient Yan clan, Yan Jing suddenly had hundreds of new relatives, which was quite novel for him.
Of course, only a small part of it has been seen now.
Those who lived nearby also rushed over after learning that Yan Huai had appeared with his descendants.
In the border town, I had a good relationship with Yan Huai and shared my feelings with him.
Yan Jing was watching from the side and actually felt touched as well.
Imagine if he traveled to ancient times and was unable to return. One day when he was old, he could go back. He would probably be more excited and sentimental than his grandfather.
As for the modern Yan family, Grandpa and Yan Jing have been causing so many problems recently, and Third Master Yan has been living at home.
At home, I finally noticed something was wrong.
The first one to notice something was wrong was my sister-in-law.
My sister-in-law came here to live for a while before in order to teach Jun Qiulan to dance, but the geographical environment and climate here are good. After finishing work, she often comes back to stay for a few days to accompany grandma.
If the sister-in-law finds something wrong, she will let the brother know directly.
My eldest brother is now in charge of the Yan Group in modern times, so he can find out more information.
After a few rounds of conversation, the whole family knew about it.
Also shocked.
They also didn't expect that their father/grandfather was actually an ancient person.
When cousin Yan Cheng came to confront Grandpa with the information he had found out, Grandpa was quite embarrassed.
After all, it has been kept secret for a lifetime.
It is true that time travel is too unbelievable. At first I didn’t dare to talk about it, and later I didn’t know how to start.
It’s impossible that the family is sitting together, eating and chatting, and then grandpa suddenly says that he is an ancient person, right?
By then, I'm afraid my grandfather will have to be sent for a physical examination by his family to see if he has Alzheimer's disease.
At this time, Yan Jing could also understand why Jun Qiulan had kept it a secret.
If Yan Jing had not personally witnessed the time travel, if Jun Qiulan had suddenly told him that he had traveled from ancient times, his first reaction would definitely be that Jun Qiulan had a fever and burned his brain.
Yan Jing: "By the way, my parents are going back to China and they want to see you."
Yan Jing's parents are both artists and travel around the world all year round.
This time, it was because their grandfather's background was exposed that they decided to come back.
Jun Qiulan blushed a little, "Then let's meet."
It's just a little embarrassing.
But we will meet sooner or later.
Yan Jing: "Don't worry, their minds are more open than grandpa and grandma. Even grandpa and grandma find it difficult to accept, so why can't they accept it? What's more, you are so outstanding."
He knew in his heart that although Lanlan had been exposed to modern culture for such a long time, she was still quite conservative at heart.
For example, they have been in a relationship for so long, but they are still at the Calabash Brothers stage.
It’s not that Yan Jing hasn’t thought about taking the initiative, but...
According to ancient rules, does this kind of thing have to wait until marriage to be done?
He still respects the differences in cultural customs between the two worlds.
His grandfather also told him that he should prepare things like betrothal gifts.
I think grandpa’s thoughts should be similar to Lanlan’s.
Jun Qiulan nodded, already thinking about what gift to prepare for his uncle and aunt.
At the same time, he was also thinking about what gift to prepare for Yan Jing.
He was thinking about it on the way back from the capital.
But I still haven't decided what to give.
Yan Jing's family is wealthy, so he probably has nothing to lack.
I searched online for some gifts for my boyfriend, but the things I found were all very unappealing.
He secretly asked Liu Yue, and Liu Yue told him to just pack himself up and send himself to Yan Jing.
This, this, this...
It's a little too much.
Jun Qiulan actually sometimes thought that they had been sleeping in the same bed for such a long time.
Although he didn't fully understand what that matter was, he knew that they hadn't reached that stage yet.
Is it that Yan Jing is not good enough?
He was not that conservative. It was a bit too much for him to just pack himself up and send himself to Yan Jing.
After much thought, Jun Qiulan finally made his own plan.
The meeting with Yan Jing’s parents was scheduled after the recording of this episode.
What a coincidence.
This episode is set in a mountain city.
Last year, there was a flood in the mountain city, and he participated in the rescue. Indirectly, he also brought a few days of rain to the ancient times, saving the ancient people.
This prevented last year’s drought from reaching its most dangerous level.
Speaking of which, the border town this year can be considered to have good weather and good harvests.
Experienced farmers say that this year's harvest will be better than in many previous years.
Last year was very hot and many insects in the ground were sun-dried to death. Then we experienced a cold winter and many insects in the ground were also frozen to death.
The snow melted, the water nourished the fields, and the excess water gathered into rivers.
The water storage in rivers this year is higher than in previous years.
This year's crops were planted, and with the help of the pesticides that Jun Shuwan had previously researched, the crops grew lush and green.
There are hardly any insect eyes.
This insecticide is not a chemical compound. It is a juice boiled from some plants. When sprayed on crops, it can effectively prevent insects.
Duan Wen directly announced the recipe, and naturally did not forget to mention Jun Shuwan and Qian Miaoer's names.
In addition, there are the farmyard manure that has been spread before, as well as the chemical fertilizers that have been researched.
The production of chemical fertilizers is limited now, and the cost is not high. However, this fertilizer has to be purchased, and it is not as cost-effective as the farmyard manure that you ferment yourself.
Therefore, up to now, not many people use chemical fertilizers.
Take it slow. Once some people have tried it and seen the increased yield from fertilizers, next year someone will be willing to spend the money.
Today's mountain city is also enjoying good weather and good harvests.
The last time Jun Qiulan came, he didn’t have a good time to explore the area. After filming the show, he followed the rescue team to participate in the rescue work.
Although I came here to record a program this time, it was also to promote the local tourism culture.
I can spend a day here.
By the way, there is a small announcement that we will be going to Tianfu City next door.
He heard that in the city of Tianfu, only Chenghua Avenue is straight, so he wants to go and see it.
After this, Jun Qiulan gained some insights.
