Aspirations for Nation and Beauty Chapter 2: Iron Horse Glacier’s 51st New Moon Festival…
701 can be said to be an extremely important year for the empire. No matter from which point of view, the achievements of the empire in 701 are brilliant. The official establishment of the Tang Empire, that year 701 was the beginning of the true establishment of the glory of the Tang Empire.
A series of laws and decrees were promulgated. As the legal and decree consultation and discussion institutions in the name of the empire, the Imperial Senate and the Citizens' Chamber of the Empire spent almost two or three days a week discussing the terms of a certain law or decree. Originally thought that this was just an embellishment used by the empire to decorate the facade, but now everyone has discovered that although the two houses cannot see real power movements like the Government Council, as the enacters and promoters of laws and decrees, the two houses are becoming more and more powerful. After realizing this, all classes began to pay more attention to this representative status that was originally only for personal honor.
In 701, the Senate of the Empire and the Chamber of Citizens discussed and proposed more than 30 laws, decrees and clauses, more than 80% of which were related to the economic development of the empire. However, continuous modification and improvement to make it conform to the actual national conditions of the empire has also become the main work of the representatives of the Imperial Senate and Citizens' Chamber. Numerous amendments are proposed in the two chambers almost every week. After heated debates and quarrels, after being voted and passed by the dual meeting, they are then submitted to His Majesty the Emperor for imperial approval or passed to the Council of Government Affairs for approval.
The representatives of the Senate and the Civic Chamber have gradually realized their shallow legal knowledge and their lack of knowledge about certain interests and bills, so it has become the most fashionable for representatives to hire representative assistants and secretaries. A method, so that whenever the Senate and the Citizens' Chambers were discussing and debating, those so-called assistants or secretaries gathered outside the gates of the two chambers. The land on both sides of the two houses was earmarked for the construction of their own offices for the representatives of the two houses, so that it is convenient for representatives to communicate with their assistants and secretaries during the break of the meeting, or to ask their assistants and secretaries for their views on a certain clause. Opinions to see whether they harm or benefit their own interests.
Graduates from Imperial College and Northwestern University, who study law and economics, were suddenly the most sought-after, with salaries skyrocketing. In 701 alone, more than a hundred former and recent graduates in this field became assistants or secretaries of these representatives. Many representatives with deep pockets even hired two or three secretaries and assistants by themselves. Some representatives representing the interests of a certain region or class even set up a think tank group for themselves to help them plan and research proposals that are conducive to the interests of their class or region.
According to the Basic Law of the Imperial Constitution, in order to be eligible to be submitted to His Majesty the Emperor for approval to become a law, it must be approved by more than two-thirds of the representatives of the two houses before it can be submitted to His Majesty the Emperor. After being approved by His Majesty the Emperor, it can become a law; while the administrative bills transferred to the Imperial Council are much more relaxed. They only need to be approved by more than half of the representatives of the two chambers before being transferred to the Imperial Council. After the executive meeting of the Council is passed, the Prime Minister of the Council signs and approves it. Acts with executive force.
The basic law of the imperial constitution is that a group of legal experts in the empire studied the constitution of the Tanghe Empire and the constitutions of the countries in the Western Continent, combined with the current reality of the empire, and submitted it to Wufeng after many revisions. Wufeng personally revised it and promulgated it , became the first basic law of the founding of the empire. the basis of all law. In order to be amended, the Imperial Constitution must be approved by more than three-quarters of the representatives of the Imperial Senate and the Citizens' Chamber, and can only be amended after obtaining the consent of His Majesty the Emperor.
A series of laws and regulations and their amendments have been passed, allowing the empire to quickly make up for the lack of legislation in this area, and normative legislation has also greatly promoted the all-round development of the empire's industrial and commercial economy . After studying the suggestion of Mr. Harding, a famous economist from the Western Continent, the Ministry of Finance of the Empire quickly responded, announcing that the Empire would choose Luxor in the next year of 701 to establish the Luke Stock Exchange and the Luxor Stock Exchange. Keso Futures Exchange, Yuhang Stock Exchange and Jinling Futures Exchange will also be listed for business in the first half of 702. The empire encourages the establishment of joint-stock enterprises, and will protect the equity to be traded on the stock exchange; and the futures exchange is also a new thing with a short history in the western continent. The empire's rapid catch-up in this regard has also attracted a large number of investment in the western continent The authors turned their attention to the East.
In order to encourage people's enthusiasm for establishing joint-stock enterprises, the empire has also issued a series of regulations to protect citizens' equity, property and income. And Wufeng also officially rejected the sale of all the existing mortar yards in the empire to the big merchants in the empire who are eager to take over, only that they sold no more than 30% of the shares, and the remaining 70% of the shares will be It will be traded directly through the stock exchange as the first batch of listed stocks in the second half of the year, which makes the merchants in the empire who are eager to hold shares anxious but helpless. The rubber factory also adopted the same method, except that the empire sold 50% of the shares, and the remaining half of the shares still needed to be sold through the stock exchange.
These two good news made the entire empire's industry and commerce focus on the upcoming stock exchange and futures exchange. Spices will all be traded on the futures exchange, and the Imperial Treasury also stated that wheat, timber, iron ore, and gold can all be traded on the futures exchange.
This almost immediately ignited enthusiasm for stock exchanges and futures exchanges. And in conjunction with the stock exchange and futures exchange's upcoming debut, a large number of books on this topic began to sell well in the major cities of the empire's counties, allowing publishers who sniffed business opportunities first to make a fortune.
The income from the sale of the mortar yards was quickly invested by the Ministry of Finance of the Empire to build more mortar yards. Several major projects in transportation and water conservancy have made all the existing mortar yards fully operational. There are complaints that because the imperial government has monopolized all the mortar produced in the mortar yard, the common people cannot enjoy the benefits of this historic creation in the history of architecture. However, this situation cannot be changed in a short time, even if the The same is true for twenty new mortar yards under construction. Some businessmen have joined forces to buy the mortar formula listed as a first-class patent by the Patent Department of the Imperial Science and Technology Development Department, and build a mortar yard that is completely owned by the private sector. Products sold to the private sector will be able to obtain more lucrative profits.
On this issue, the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Science and Technology Development have different opinions. The Ministry of Science and Technology Development of the Empire advocates the widespread use of mortar and supports the sale of patents, while the Ministry of Finance of the Empire focuses on temporarily monopolizing the mortar formula, which can make the empire control The Mortar Farm obtained more lucrative profits when it went public and sold its shares in the later stage. Both parties disagreed, but in the end Xiao Tang agreed to the plan of authorizing the transfer of patents. Businessmen don't want their operations to be influenced by the government. As soon as the precedent was set, merchants who bought patent licenses came one after another. Apart from the mortar yards invested and built by the Ministry of Finance of the Empire ~IndoMTL.com~ there were fifteen mortar yards built with private investment alone, and the total popularity was quite high. One can imagine.
701 was also the year when the empire's metallurgical industry achieved a huge leap forward. The empire revised its practice of monopolizing mineral products, loosened its control over the metallurgical industry, and encouraged private funds to enter the smelting industry. At the same time, it also began to have an impact on the mining industry. With the exception of some large-scale mines, almost all small and medium-sized mines are open. Large-scale mines also allow private capital to enter, but the controlling stake is still controlled by the imperial government. Private capital that has obtained preferential conditions and policies has poured in. Entering the lucrative smelting industry, the scale of smelting enterprises expanded, and the shadow of giant mining and smelting and forging unions began to appear.
In opposition to this, the Northwest Zhan family jointly established the Imperial Mid-Continent Metallurgical and Mining Union in West Indian County and Central Indian County with the Mitale family, a wealthy businessman in Meli, and several local Indian wealthy families. Corporation, backed by Governor Pauling of Central Indian County and Governor Link of West Indian County, they entered into an agreement with the local governments of Central Indian County and West Indian County to monopolize Central Indian County And the mining rights of existing iron mines in several prefectures of West Indian County, and actively recruited skilled workers from the Western Continent, introduced advanced and smelting technology from the Western Continent, and almost controlled the production and sales of iron products in most of the Indian region. Actively competing with Xinglong Mining and Smelting Co., Ltd. for the markets of East Tengger County and Northwest County, becoming the only metallurgical giant in the metallurgical industry that can stand shoulder to shoulder with Xinglong Group.
