60. Book fever

Within a few days, under Jingwen's arrangement, Kong Yingda's "Five Classics of Justice" began to be listed. In the most conspicuous place in the major bookstores, Kong Yingda's "Five Classics of Justice" is placed for those students to see.

"Childe, Dr. Kong Yingda Kong's compilation of the Five Classics has come out, are you interested in buying a set back? Dr. Kong Yingda's knowledge is world-famous, and it must be worth the money. This set of books costs five times, which is not expensive at all! The bookstore owner said.

Those students opened Kong Yingda's "Five Classics of Justice" one after another, and couldn't put it down. Kong Yingda is a well-known Confucian scholar in the world, and even heard that the questions of the imperial examination in the future will be based on Kong Yingda's writings, and everyone now wants to study this Kong Yingda's book.

"Master Kong Yingda really deserves to be a master, and the content is incisive, which makes me feel stunned! Five money, it's really not expensive, we bought it! The student said.

Soon, there was another rush to buy Kong Yingda's "Five Classics of Justice" on the market. Because Kong Yingda's reputation is very wide, everyone only spreads it by word of mouth, and not many people can see his works. Now that they can see the writings of famous people, these students feel that the trip is worthwhile. Isn't it just five times money? For those who really like to learn and want to go into politics through the imperial examination, that is not a problem at all. So Kong Yingda's book is selling well again.

Jingwen counted the money and made it again. The names of these celebrities are really profitable, and they can slaughter people hard, and those readers will let Jingwen slaughter them one by one, but thank Jingwen for getting these books out.

And Yu Shinan's calligraphy and Kong Yingda's "Five Classics of Justice" were both published by Jingwen. Officialdom is rarely able to hide things, and many people have seen this. Because this is a good opportunity to build a reputation, a good opportunity to write a book and speak! The ancient sages paid attention to virtue, words and meritorious service, which are the three immortals. Lide, many people can do it, isn't it about morality? Meritorious service, as long as you become an official, it is easy to make meritorious service. But the most difficult thing is to make a statement, that is, to create your own academic theory and write a book and speak.

Originally, it was difficult to publish books because the paper and cost were too high. Now that someone has lowered the cost of paper, and there is a businessman who specializes in helping others publish books, of course they have to catch it. Yu Shinan and Kong Yingda's deeds were encouraging them before, and now of course they want to seize this opportunity as much as possible, and they are even willing to pay money!

"Mr. Jingwen, now many adults from the imperial court have come to submit articles to us and let us publish their books." Zhu Yu said.

Jingwen asked, "Who are the adults?" ”

"Mr. Jingwen, at the beginning, Ouyang Xun was the editor-in-chief, Ling Hu Dedi, Chen Shuda, Pei Ju, Zhao Hongzhi, Yuan Lang and other more than ten adults wrote "Art and Literature Gathering". This is a collection of poems and stories from previous generations, and it is a rare treasure! Usually, many people outside have just heard of it, but not many people have seen it. So this time, a few adults handed it over to us, and they also wanted everyone to take a look at this book. And a few adults also want to increase their reputation! Zhu Yu said.

Jingwen has never heard of this "Art and Literature Gathering", and as for the editors, Jingwen has only heard of Ouyang Xun, because Ouyang Xun is a calligrapher. As for the others, Jingwen has never heard of them at all. But since Jingwen is the boss, although he doesn't understand, he has to pretend to understand!

"Well, since it's the brainchild of a few adults, we've helped a few adults publish it. This "Art and Culture Gathering" is my Chinese historical and cultural heritage, and it must not be lost. This is the hard work of a few adults, and we can't let the efforts of a few adults go to waste! Jingwen said.

Jingwen was actually pretending, he hadn't heard of the book "Art and Literature Gathering" at all, but he just wanted to give the great calligrapher Ouyang a face. As for others, it's just an addition. Anyway, when the time comes, it is someone else's talent that will be used, and it will be you who makes money, so what's so heartbroken? The big deal is the cost of pasting some paper upside down, which is almost a zero-cost investment! Many readers are willing to volunteer to be editors in order to learn all kinds of knowledge. And people don't have to pay their own remuneration, but are willing to pay themselves and let themselves publish. Therefore, to be a publishing house at this time, it is almost a sure profit! Especially since he has an official background, he is not afraid of the extortion of many people, and even those officials who want to publish a book will help him deal with those who extort money.

"Does anyone else want to publish a book?" Jingwen asked.

"My lord, there are many people, such as General Li Jing, who wants us to help him get some experience in the art of war, and then send it to the officers of the Tang Dynasty to study. And the secretary of the ministry, Tang Jian, also wrote a book on etiquette and asked us to help publish it and sell it. And Master Pei Ju was already dying, but when he heard that we could publish books here, his illness was immediately cured, and then he sorted out a large part of the manuscript, and he also wanted to publish a book. Master Pei Ju is a rare columnist in my Tang Dynasty, and he is proficient in the customs of the Western Regions, and his books are very helpful for us in the Tang Dynasty to understand the Western Regions. Master Pei Ju wants us to help sort it out and print it, and this is his last wish. In fact, there are many more, many adults who are not of high grade want to publish books, but we all refuse. Zhu Yu said.

When Jingwen heard this, he was immediately stupid, he didn't expect so many people to want to publish a book. Even Jing Wen had only heard of the fame and had never met Li Jing, the god of the Tang Dynasty, came to find him and wanted to publish a book. That Tang Jianjingwen had heard of it a little, and it seemed to be a diplomat. As for Pei Ju, Jingwen hadn't heard of it, but he looked like an unusual person.

As for those middle and low-level officials, they all came to Jingwen one by one, asking Jingwen to help sort out the manuscript and then publish the book. In ancient times, an excellent academic achievement could serve as a political capital. In ancient times, if the academic achievements were high, the official position could also be promoted accordingly, which is a characteristic of ancient China. Therefore, many middle and low-level officials want Jingwen to help publish books and increase political capital!

"I really didn't expect that one of my small actions would cause such a big butterfly effect. I just want to publish books to make money, but it's actually caused a book craze? Now that a lot of people want to publish books, is the book publishing industry going to develop more than a thousand years in advance? Jingwen thought secretly.
