    The next day, Jing Wen felt refreshed after getting up from Cui Ying's bed.  This time, I made an agreement with several beauties, that is, to carry out so-called family planning, so that each of them can conceive a child.  For the ancients, only a woman who has children is considered a complete woman, otherwise she is simply an incomplete woman.  So now that they are old enough, they should give birth to a child for Jing Wen, so that they are not fed in vain!  "Lin'er, come with me to the publishing house! I'll go check out the latest books and see if there's any good stuff." Jing Wen said.  "Yeah!" Cui Ying replied.  Jing Wen came to the book printing workshop and wanted to come over to see what new novels were available recently.  The so-called novels at this time were also called scripts.  In recent years, there has been a trend of writing novels, because writing this kind of thing can earn royalties.  According to Jing Wen's previous settings, each book can receive royalties, which are calculated based on the number of sales, and the proportion of royalties is higher than in later generations.  This is no longer a low income for many people. Even because paper has become cheaper, writing novels is now a very common way to make a living.  After all, this kind of writing is an elegant thing for literati. Compared with working for others, this kind of writing can actually reflect one's talents better.  Therefore, people who have read books also want to make a living by writing books, which is not bad.  "Well, this is an ancient historical novel? It's from the Qin Dynasty?" Jing Wen asked.  "Yes, husband, this book has just passed the review recently, and it should be a book that we can invest in publishing. It tells the story of how a Confucian scholar preserved knowledge when Qin Shihuang burned books and harassed Confucians. We think there should be  The market is not small, so we decided to publish it,¡± Cheng Lin said.  Jing Wen was speechless. Jing Wen could tell with his buttocks that the selling point of this book was to cater to those Confucian scholars.  In this era, almost everyone who has read a book is a researcher of Confucianism.  So they felt the same when they saw this Confucian scholar burning books to trap Confucian scholars in order to protect knowledge and avoid Qin Shihuang's pursuit.  This actually means treating Qin Shihuang as the OSS.  And then the story of continuous escape.  And this one is aimed at a certain type of people in the market, so that it can cultivate many die-hard book fans. This guy is really capable.  Just like the online novels of later generations, they must cater to the readers. If they cannot cater to the readers, they will probably be sold on the street.  But according to Jing Wen, a later Internet novel writer, it is natural to know that market positioning is also very important.  In the words of later generations of online novels, this book is very popular and caters to those Confucian scholars. It is considered a good book.  But Jing Wen doesn't care about this kind of thing.  As long as you can make money, don't worry about it.  Anyway, when people sell books, the publishing house can also make money, and when it makes money, Jingwen makes money, so there is no need to worry about any problems.  "What's that pile?" Jing Wen pointed to the pile of things in the distance.  "Oh, husband, these are all eliminated books, that is, we do not plan to invest in publishing them ourselves. These books have only two endings, either someone publishes them at their own expense. Or they will be stored in the warehouse forever and will not be taken out.  Publish. After all, if we don¡¯t like anything, we will naturally not publish it. Of course, we will also follow the process you set and let every new editor go to the warehouse to check it out.  There are no books suitable for publication. " When Jingwen established this publishing house, it was stipulated that every new editor should look into the warehouse to see if there were any books they liked.  Because Jing Wen knows that everyone has different tastes, or it may be due to the perspective of the times.  So that they can't tell which books are popular.  Therefore, the purpose of letting the new editors take a look at the old books is to see whether they can meet the appetite of the new era if they are reviewed by the new editors.  It can still be published.  If that doesn't work, then we can only let them remain silent in the warehouse.  Jing Wen didn¡¯t say much, so he picked up some books to read. These books were all eliminated, so Jing Wen took them out and read them.  Cheng Lin saw Jing Wen reading these eliminated books so seriously, so she didn't say anything and just waited there.  "This one? "Nongsang"?" Jingwen saw a book called "Nongsang", which introduced some methods of agriculture and silkworm breeding.  Jing Wen saw that it specifically talked about how to grow wheat to make it easier to survive, that is, a set of techniques for growing wheat, followed by techniques for planting mulberry trees and breeding mulberry silkworms.  Obviously, these are technical books, books that specifically explain farming techniques.  But these technologies have also fallen here and are not used for publication?  "Lin'er, why was this book canceled?" Jing Wen asked.  And Cheng Lin looked at this book.?Then he said: "Husband, our editor thinks there is no market for this book?" "Why is there no market? This is a book about mulberry farming technology. More than 90% of the population in our country are farmers. How can there be no market?  "Jing Wen asked.  Cheng Lin said: "Husband, although more than 90% of our country are farmers, farmers are illiterate. Their illiteracy means they cannot understand the things in this book. What's more, these books are a pile of  Farmers rely on the experience accumulated over generations to farm. Even if they are literate, they cannot understand this kind of book.  Not many people can understand it. So we conclude that there is no market for this kind of book and there is no need to publish it. Of course, if someone is willing to publish it at their own expense, then we have nothing to say.  Generally it will not be published." After hearing this, Jing Wen began to think for a long time. No wonder Cheng Lin was unwilling to publish such a book that could not make money.  However, Jing Wen deeply understands the role of these books, which can effectively ensure the inheritance of agricultural technology.  Therefore, it cannot be overemphasized.  "We will pay for this book and advance it for him to publish. Moreover, we have bought out this book. Let's give him a huge sum of money and buy out all the income rights of this book at once!" Jing Wen said.  "What? Buyout? Why?" Cheng Lin was a little surprised.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
