Chapter 882: Similarities and Differences (I)
"The Mechanic, whoa!"
Picking up the magazine and looking at it, Baron Sousa sneered and dropped it.
He looked at it casually before, and found that these are all articles related to 'machinery', which look no different from "Xinghai Monthly" and "Magic", but whether it is the degree of understanding or the depth of knowledge, the magazine as a whole is a little obscure, not friendly enough to people who are not familiar with it, and for those who are familiar with 'mechanics', the knowledge in it is too simple.
I really don't know what the people in the manufacturing department and R&D department are doing!
As a well-known 'scholar' in the entire Empire, Baron Sousa is qualified to evaluate this magazine, which is jointly issued by the Imperial Manufacturing Department and the Imperial Research and Development Department.
He didn't know much about mechanics, but he was good enough to comment on the "Mechanic".
To be honest, after sensing the influence of the Star Sea Monthly, he wanted to propose to Caesar XIII that their empire also need to sue a magazine or something else to increase the influence of the empire.
The empire was able to increase its influence, and he was able to get a pretty good position, and maybe be able to rise up again in the future.
As a result, I didn't expect to be cut off by those two guys!
Now it is clear that the two of them are not the material for thisβif it is to tinker with some metal, machinery, or the like, Baron Sousa thinks that he is not as good as the two of them, but in literary matters, those two fellows are no match for him in any way.
"I didn't intend to use it for the entertainment of the aristocracy, but I didn't have enough depth of knowledge like 'Magic' to arouse people's interest in 'mechanics' and it was too obscure, what two fools!"
Sitting in his study, there was no one else but himself, so Baron Sousa dared to scold.
He already complained about those two guys, but this kind of thing could never be said in front of others, so he could only scold in his own study, not even his own son.
His image has always been quite gentle, and only in this way can he show that he has no malice towards the lords around him, and in fact, they all believe it.
And after the restructuring of the empire, such an image has produced some unimaginable chain reactions for himself - after all, he had never imagined that such a thing would happen in this empire.
With his current image, he can go to the imperial capital to 'be an official', and for the current empire, an official and a half position may be much more important than the title of a nobleman.
No one else saw it, but he saw that after the reform of the empire, those nobles who became 'ministers' could be liberated from the shackles of their own territory, and they could really affect the entire empire.
But I'm afraid that many people don't realize this, their ideas are old-fashioned, and they are still stuck in a bygone era, and this is the best time for him to rise.
Originally, he also wanted to use the road of 'magazine' to slowly climb into the core of the empire, without official positions and not too much, as long as he could affect half of the empire, he would be satisfied.
However, now that the road is broken, then he has to find another way instead of sitting here and complaining about the two guys who have cut off their beards.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door of his study, and then the deacon's respectful voice came from outside the door: "Sir, Viscount Fabre, they have arrived. β
Yes, it's time for him to act!
Baron Sosa's eyes flickered, and he stood up on his desk, "Okay, I'll come now!"
............
"The other day, Baron Sousa addressed His Majesty. β
Speaking of this, Calvin sighed.
The magazine they jointly published this time did not cause the huge sensation as expected, and although the sales were not bad, the response was not very good.
It can even be said that they are basically a pair of bad reviews, and these bad reviews are mainly from the aristocracy, and only the aristocracy has the time and money to read magazines.
The nobles didn't mention it to their faces, but behind their backs they said a lot of gossip.
These words naturally flowed into the ears of Calvin and Gregory, but they did not refute them in any way, because they all knew that this time it was really them who had gone wrong.
Gregory glanced at Calvin, raised his knife and fork to cut the bread in front of him, "What did you say?"
Calvin looked at the beef noodles in front of him, it was clearly fragrant, but he didn't have any appetite.
He sighed again in frustration and said, "He said that cultural matters should be taken care of by cultural people, but he didn't say anything else." β
Hearing this, Gregory frowned and stopped what he was doing.
"It seems...... Baron Sousa should have noticed it too. With that, Grigory took a piece of bread and poured a mouthful of warm milk into his mouth.
What do you perceive?
Gregory only mentioned it slightly, and Calvin immediately reacted, "He wants to be the official in charge of culture?"
Grigory nodded silently, Baron Sousa does have this ability, and if the current trend continues, sooner or later the empire will have to develop a department to manage 'culture' and 'education', just like their manufacturing department and R&D department.
Baron Sousa was very accurate, if he spoke earlier, maybe the position would be taken away by the nobles, and if he was late, then he would not have the credit of 'talking', even His Majesty, who was busy with affairs, could react.
But when he speaks at this time, he has the credit, and in his name, becoming a minister or deputy minister can be said to be a sure thing.
Baron Sousa was a well-known 'scholarly aristocrat' throughout the empire, and when it comes to literature, he is the first thing that comes to mind.
And most importantly, he's just a middle-aged man!
Although he is not a professional and does not have a long lifespan, he is a middle-aged man, has accumulated enough experience and knowledge, has mature thoughts, and has strong energy, it can be said that if the empire really wants to form a 'Ministry of Literature' or 'Ministry of Culture', then he will be the best choice for the minister.
No one is better suited for this position than some of the transcendents who have lived longer, but the transcendents should be used in other ways, not in this place.
Calvin frowned slightly, and said worriedly: "However, our school is about to start building a ......."
Not to mention the matter of 'magazines', they are not sure whether the magazines they issue will be transferred to that department after the establishment of that department, let's just say that they proposed to establish a 'military academy'!
Once that department in charge of culture is established, then the school will definitely be assigned to that department.
Because the 'military academy' to be established is about to be established because many things are involved, many 'ministers' want to divide this school under their own name.
This is the most troublesome point after the reform - because everyone is nominally under the emperor's command, there is no need for the emperor to have any more 'departments' under his name.
With the exception of the military and a few independent departments, the rest of the newly formed departments were divided under the names of various 'ministers' and became part of their forces.
However, the 'military academy' has so much to do with it, so His Majesty has always reserved his opinion and said nothing.
If that cultural department is really established, then His Majesty will definitely transfer the 'military academy' to the management of that department.
And the position of that department will definitely be very high, maybe above the two of them.
Fortunately, the emancipation movement was perfectly resolved in this reform, which is the only thing to be thankful for.
"Let's take one step at a time......"
Grigory sighed, "In the next issue of The Machinist, I want to ask a scholar to polish the article, what do you think?"
Calvin pondered for a moment and nodded in agreement, "That's a good idea. β
