    According to Jing Wen's previous regulations, this publishing house actually has two methods.  ¡ÔThe most important one is division, that is, division according to published books.  The other is to buy out, giving an author a high royalty at one time, and then completely buying out all the rights to profit from the book. As for the author, he is only qualified to retain the right of authorship, and has no other rights.  .  However, this buyout is actually only available for those books that are very promising. There is obviously no market for this technical book, but Jing Wen actually gave it a buyout.  However, Cheng Lin was certain that there was no market for this technical book.  People who can understand it are not interested in it, and those who are interested can't understand it. There is no market for this kind of thing.  In ancient times, so-called Confucianism or poetry was always highly valued, but books on agricultural technology were not paid much attention to.  After all, their service targets are also ordinary people.  However, most ordinary people are illiterate, so they cannot read these highly professional books at all.  And officials don't know how to read it. After all, who among officials has the heart to read such a book?  So it's a very embarrassing situation. Those who understand don't bother to see it, but those who want to see it don't understand.  From this point of view, there is actually no market for them.  "Lin'er, you can't underestimate these reference books. These are actually very useful. They can inherit various Chinese technologies. These technologies are the ladder of our human progress, just like those Shuijingzhu, and Qi Min  Books like Yaoshu are all about things that ordinary people use to make a living. They are of immeasurable effect on people and have a very important role in our human civilization.  Scholars have never plowed the fields themselves, and they have no idea that these production and life are not easy. However, they can write some story books for entertainment. However, such story books can be popular for a while, but they can really be of great help to mankind.  "So. Although there is no market for this kind of book, we have to pass it on anyway. Although it may not bring much profit, it can at least expand the scope.  Let more people collect it so that the common people will be literate one day, and if more people are literate, it will be more useful to the common people. But if we deliberately do not collect such books for temporary benefits.  If it is published and disseminated, the people will not be able to benefit in the end.¡± Jing Wen actually thought of some reference books from later generations, some highly professional and technical books.  If this kind of books were published through normal publishing channels, it would be difficult to find a big market.  Because ordinary people don't read this kind of highly professional and technical books at all, and only those in the industry can read them.  However, there are not many of these colleagues at all, and they cannot make a fortune relying on these reference books.  But it is obviously unrealistic to ask those scientific researchers to pay for the publication themselves.  In order to promote technology, it is not appropriate to pay for the publication yourself.  Therefore, in later generations, the governments of many countries specifically subsidized the publication of such reference books, so that they did not have to spend their own money to promote technology.  In this way, the state subsidizes public publishing, which is actually dedicated to the publication of technical books.  This plays a very important role in technology dissemination and protection.  There was no corresponding policy in ancient times, which was actually very tragic.  There are very few technical books from ancient times that can be passed down to later generations.  First of all, in fact, not many people studied these books in ancient times, and even if some people did.  They may not be able to produce research results either.  Even if you want to publish results after research, you will fail because of lack of money.  Therefore, it was too difficult to produce some technical books in ancient times.  There are so many good things.  Did they all disappear into history because there was no funding for publication?  In ancient times, if you wanted to publish books, you would first spend a lot of money.  And the vast majority of those who want to publish their own technical books are not wealthy people.  Therefore, in the end, they can only prevent their books from being published, and their hard work will be lost in history forever.  What a pity. So in order to protect this knowledge, didn¡¯t later generations also establish a policy to subsidize publishing?  This is actually a policy that can affect the inheritance of human technology, and it is very useful.  "Lin'er, although it seems that we are losing money by publishing these books, we must also protect these technological inheritances. We cannot be so narrow-minded and only see the money in it. But what is in it for our human civilization is  It is a very important thing that can affect our future generations. So what can we do if we subsidize some and repay some? I give him a buyout, which actually means that he can continue to research and develop these agricultural technologies.  If they don't get financial benefits, they may not be interested in continuing the research, so I have to use financial benefits to stimulate them, so that more of us can invest in this field.Only with more and more can we humans become more and more developed.  "Jing Wen said. After Cheng Lin heard this, she could only say: "Okay!  I listen to my husband and I will let these editors screen again and select all these technical books.  We can also ask some professionals to see if there is any value in publishing.  If there is value in publishing, we can consider using a buyout method to publish.  " "Well, we must protect our technological inheritance. It would be a pity if these technological inheritance are interrupted!  "Jing Wen said. "Jing Wen certainly knows that many technologies in history will disappear from history because they are no longer passed down. China's technologies are actually very advanced. In addition to the so-called treasure of broomsticks, there are actually  One reason is that they do not have an effective book carrier, so they cannot use words to carry it. They can only rely on word of mouth, which is easy to interrupt. So if there is a book carrier to spread, it is actually very good.  . Jingwen also gave them such an opportunity to effectively pass on. If the technical books of various people can be passed down, it will be of great benefit to the progress of Chinese civilization!  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature.
