Chapter Seventy-Five: A Man Can't Do Not Have Money in His Pocket

Kong Fang first raised and then suppressed, and even did not hesitate to throw the pot.

It's not that he doesn't want to accept it, it's that the conditions don't allow it.

Mr. Luo stroked his long beard and fell into deep thought, and finally let out a long sigh of understanding.

Kong Fang breathed a sigh of relief, and then promised Mr. Luo that he would find a way to continue "writing" "Journey to the West" as soon as possible, and that it would be delivered to him as soon as he finished "writing" a chapter, and he would be the first reader of each chapter of "Journey to the West".

Mr. Luo was very satisfied with Kong Fang's attitude, and he provided Kong Fang with several of his protégés, who were still active in the officialdom of the Daxing Dynasty, and Kong Fang's friendship with them must have been of great benefit to him.

Kong Fang is like a treasure.

Although he is an amateur of officialdom, it does not mean that he knows nothing about officialdom. Officialdom is also a river and lake, even more dangerous than the rivers and lakes in the mouth of the people.

Connections in officialdom are particularly important.

As the saying goes, no one in the court should be an official. Officialdom lone wolves do not exist, because there is no room for lone wolves to survive in officialdom.

Kong Fang got up and solemnly thanked Mr. Luo. The two exchanged a few polite words, and Mr. Luo brought the topic back to "Journey to the West".

"County Zun, have you ever thought of printing the "Journey to the West" version into a book and selling it?"

Kong Fang nodded. Although he "wrote" "Journey to the West" on a whim, it did not prevent him from wanting to gain fame and fortune through "Journey to the West".

The Daxing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty were not in the same time and space, and he was not worried that Wu Chengen would jump out of the coffin to settle accounts with him.

Not to worry about someone coming out to expose his plagiarism.

Of course, the most important thing is that he is the son-in-law of the Fang family, and he does not control the financial power of the family. The cheap old man is not at home, and the tigress Fang Shiqing is the finance minister of the Fang family.

He didn't know what kind of treatment his predecessor was, but since he crossed over to the present, except for the two taels that he "earned" from Fang Shibo's hands, he really didn't take a little silver from the Fang family.

Fang Shiqing didn't give it, he didn't dare to ask for it, and Fang Shiyi was embarrassed to ask for it.

Fortunately, he has no fox friends for the time being, he doesn't go to the restaurant, he doesn't drink, he doesn't smoke, he doesn't pick up girls, the three meals are free, and he doesn't have to spend money every day, otherwise he will not only die poor, but will also be laughed to death by others.

A man has no money in his pocket, which is the same disease as a man's impotence.

At present, although there are nearly 3 million taels of silver in the county treasury, it has been confiscated and is public money. He wants to be a Qing official, not Zhu Dachang's second.

Pocket money, he wants to earn it on his own.

It is not possible to set up a stall, and "writing" a book in his capacity should be the best option. But "writing" a book is hard work, and although he has "Journey to the West" in his head, it is not easy to "write" it.

First, he can't memorize "Journey to the West" backwards, he needs to recall it slowly; Second, for well-known reasons, his handwriting level is not only bad, but also slow, and he is wasted in writing a single line, not to mention the hundreds of thousands of words of "Journey to the West"!

He had one more concern. Since he became the magistrate of Shangxian County, he deliberately learned about the national conditions of the Daxing Dynasty, and it can be described as terrible in the field of education.

Taking Qinghe County as an example, Qinghe County has a population of 70,000 or 80,000, and there are about 10,000 school-age children and teenagers, but there is only one county school in the entire Qinghe County, and there are only 500 or 600 students in the county school.

1 in 10 enrollment!

Although there are private schools in various villages, they are all set up by those landlords and squires for their children, just like the Fang family's private school, which only serves the three sisters and brothers of the Fang family.

With such a low level of education, how many taels of silver can a copy of "Journey to the West" be sold for?

In case you are tired and tired in your previous life and write an online article of millions of words, but you can't even earn money from cigarettes, then you will be sad.

In the previous life, it was okay to say, anyway, no one knew him on the Internet and was not afraid of losing face.

He is now a dignified county, famous, and his face hangs on the gate tower of Qinghe County, in case "Journey to the West" can't earn a meal of tea, does he still want his face?

Mr. Luo saw him nodding his head, but he didn't see him worried, so he immediately applauded the case.

It is better to be happy alone, than to be happy with everyone, such a strange book, of course, should be shared by everyone in the world.

"County Zun, you have a lot of opportunities, can the old man do it for you about publishing the book? It just so happened that the old man knew someone from the printing office. Mr. Luo took the initiative to ask.

Kong Fang naturally couldn't ask for it, but he still expressed his concerns.

Unexpectedly, Mr. Luo laughed when he heard this, saying that he was too worried.

He calculated the account for Kong Fang. Although the proportion of scholars in the Daxing Dynasty is small, the population of the entire Daxing Dynasty is tens of millions, and there are hundreds of thousands of people who can read and write.

Around the Daxing Dynasty, there are four countries: Yanyun Kingdom, Wuliang Kingdom, Beauty Country, and Ruxiang Kingdom. They were originally the four candidate states of the Wen and Zhou dynasties.

Later, the Wenzhou royal family was weakened, and all the candidates broke away from the royal control and established themselves as kings. After years of war, the Wen and Zhou dynasties finally did not recover their decline and were forced to split into the five kingdoms of Wen Zhou, Yanyun, Wuliang, Liren, and Ruxiang.

Later, Wen Zhou changed the name of the country to Daxing, that is, today's Daxing Dynasty.

Although Yanyun, Wuliang, Liren, and Ruxiang have been separated from the royal family for hundreds of years, their cultural identity is still respected by the Wenzhou Dynasty, that is, the Daxing Dynasty.

The cultures of the five countries are common.

"Mr. Luo, do you still want "Journey to the West" to go out of the Daxing Dynasty and let the world share it?" Kong Fang was surprised that Mr. Luo was ambitious.

If "Journey to the West" can really get out of the Daxing Dynasty, according to the previous life, it should be to achieve international standards, right?

"Of course."

Mr. Lowe made no secret of his ambitions. "In Yanyun and other four countries, the old man has close friends, and it is not difficult to promote "Journey to the West" there."

"Although the literary style of the Yanyun Kingdoms is not as good as that of the Daxing Dynasty, and the literati are not as many as the Daxing Dynasty, the number of people in the four countries is superimposed, and there are hundreds of thousands, right?"

"County Zun, "Journey to the West" is full of fun, suitable for all ages, and you don't have to worry about not being able to sell. Even if one out of ten literati buys one, how many copies can we sell? ”

The corners of Kong Fang's eyes twitched several times in a row.

"Sir, then you see, how much silver we sell for a book."

"One or two." Mr. Luo obviously had a plan and was confident.

"People who can read are rich people, and rich families don't lack these two silvers." He explained.

Kong Fang was completely convinced that the Great Confucian is the Great Confucian, and he strives for excellence in learning and is not ambiguous in business. One book is one tael, one hundred books is one hundred taels, one thousand books is one thousand taels, ten thousand books are ten thousand taels, and one hundred thousand books are ......

Kong Fang didn't dare to calculate the result, for fear that being too excited would cause his brain to burst out.

He suppressed his excitement and licked his lips, "Sir, I'm all up to you." I would also like you to help me find a ghostwriter, and I will start 'writing' immediately, and strive to finish it as soon as possible, and then put it into print. ”

"No problem, I can find a teacher for you in the county school. You can write one chapter a day, ten chapters in ten days, and then we'll organize it into a book and print it. ”
