Chapter 618 Cooperation (Part 2)
Dou Jing's beard stood up in excitement!
Due to her age, Dou Jing's life has basically ended here. As a Jiuqing, she is considered to be a prominent family and a proud ancestor. She is just waiting for the day when she can no longer endure it, so she will retire and go home to take care of herself.
Although he is almost seventy in a few years, he does not think that he is very old...
But when she heard Fang Jun say the words "Publish the world", Dou Jing instantly felt a rush of blood rushing to the top of her head!
Sinong Temple is in charge of farming in the world. If Fang Jun compiles an agricultural classic, how can he bypass Sinong Temple? Besides, since Fang Jun was able to come to the door, he obviously had the intention to cooperate with Sinong Temple.
This is simply a pie in the sky thing!
Writing a book and talking about it, this is a remarkable achievement that many learned scholars have dreamed of but could not complete until their death. Are they going to fall on their own heads?
Dou Jing felt that the blood in her body was flowing faster, and her body felt lighter. The only doubt she had was that Fang Jun had the ability to publish this agricultural classic that had not yet appeared in the world.
This is not something that can be accomplished with a little money. If the number of issuances is not enough, it cannot be popularized to the greatest extent, so what is the point? When it comes to just writing books, most literati have this ability. Of course, the level cannot be guaranteed, but the biggest difficulty is publishing the books!
Due to limitations in printing capabilities, books in this era were very expensive, including expensive paper, expensive engravings, and even more expensive inks... As a result, the price of books remained high, and ordinary people who wanted to buy a book had a heavy burden. It is more popular among literati to borrow books and copy them. Firstly, they can deepen their understanding of the contents of the book. Secondly, it is also to save money.
Even if Fang Jun invented movable type printing, it would still cost a huge amount of money to distribute it throughout the world.
Faced with the question, Fang Jun didn't care at all, and just said: "Above money, there is no need for seniors to worry about it. If juniors dare to say this, they will naturally care about it. There is just one more thing, and I would like to ask seniors for help."
< br>
Of course you have to ask us for help. If you don't want to help, why would you come to your door? How can we get a share of this great good thing without helping?
Dou Jing's experience in political struggle has already reached the level of returning to nature, and she knows that there is no need to play tricks at the moment. It is natural that she can be useful when Fang Jun comes to her.
If you want to gain something, you must lose something.
If you want to make a profit from this agricultural book published all over the country, you will naturally have to pay accordingly.
Dou Jing said happily: "I and your father are close friends. In my eyes, you are just like my nephew. You don't need to be seen outside. If there is any difficulty, it doesn't matter. As long as it is within my ability, I will spare no effort to help you." . Writing a book and saying this is an important event that will last forever. How can I stand by and watch?"
Sure enough, people become better with age. Look at what they said. They obviously want to get benefits, but they also have to give out a favor...
But now that I have said this, the relationship has immediately become closer, and we can get along more comfortably.
Fang Jun said: "In this case, my nephew will share his thoughts with his seniors. Seniors are rich in experience, so please give me some advice... Since we are compiling agricultural books, we naturally have to ask our seniors to mobilize Sicheng and the subordinates of Sinong Temple. Farming experience such as signing orders Rich officials pool their wisdom, draw on the strengths of others, and work together to collect climate, hydrology, temperature and other information from all over the world, classify it into categories, and compile corresponding farming methods according to different regions. "
This is why Fang Jun approached his boss, Sinong Temple, to seek cooperation.
Farming is not a simple matter, and it is impossible for one program to apply to the whole world. The soil, climate, precipitation and other conditions in each place are different, which means that the farming methods are different, and they must be appropriately changed according to the local natural conditions.
The gap between the Tang Dynasty and later generations is not just a time gap. It is not an exaggeration to say that a thousand years have changed the world. Fang Jun has no idea about the current climate and geological conditions, so how can he compile agricultural books that are suitable for farming in various places? ?
The villages under the Sinong Temple were assigned at the lowest level to prefectures and counties in all states in the world. They were in charge of farming and farming, organizing homework and livestock accounting, setting classes based on floods, droughts and locusts, encouraging farmers to engage in farming, and supervising land collection. As long as these supervisors from all over the world are gathered together, the geological conditions of various places in the world can be known, and only in this way can the agricultural books be compiled perfectly.
Otherwise, Fang Jun would simply do it himself. With his agricultural knowledge and farming techniques that were thousands of years ahead of the Tang Dynasty, he didn't need anyone else's help at all...
Although Dou Jing is not from a farming background, she has served as the minister of the Sinong Temple for many years. As the highest official of the agricultural class in the world, she is naturally no stranger to farming. When Fang Jun said this, Dou Jing immediately understood what Fang Jun meant.
To put it simply, with the help of the administrative resources of Sinong Temple, the geological conditions from all over the world were collected and summarized to Fang Jun, who took the lead in compiling the agricultural book. Of course, as the highest official of Sinong Temple, I can sign my name in the author column of the agricultural book...
Dou Jing looked at Fang Jun in confusion: "Erlang knows about farming?"
In his opinion, this was really unexpected...
Who in Chang'an doesn't know that Fang Jun is a dandy? Although classic poems have been circulated many times in recent years, and the confrontation with the Jiangnan Confucian Wang Xue'an in Chongxian Hall not long ago was even more impressive, but how could he farm?
Although the dynasty divided the people into four classes: "scholars, farmers, industry and merchants", farmers seemed to be only slightly lower than the scholar class, but in fact they were already the lowest class. Craftsmen master ancestral skills, and businessmen create a lot of wealth. Compared with them, farmers are already in a disadvantaged group.
How could a man like Fang Jun, a well-dressed official’s son, have no time to learn how to cultivate crops?
Fang Jun asked curiously: "Senior, have you never heard of the method of raising seedlings?"
His innovative method of raising seedlings last year has become popular in Guanzhong this year. Most farmers who have the conditions have adopted this method to raise seedlings in advance. As a Sinong Qing, Dou Jing didn't know this?
Dou Jing was shocked: "Is this method really created by Erlang?"
Fang Jun asked in confusion: "Why do seniors ask this?"
Of course I was the one who pioneered it. Without me, who could have brought the method of raising seedlings thousands of years later to the Tang Dynasty?
Dou Jing looked Fang Jun up and down, and said in admiration: "There are rumors among the people in the market that this method was pioneered by 'Erlang of the Wind and Calling the Rain Fang', but the old man has never believed it. After all, Erlang's long-standing reputation will not make people People believe that you will calm down and study farming..."
Fang Jun is depressed...
Reputation is indeed a good thing. Just because he had a bad reputation in the past, when it comes to fighting and causing trouble, everyone can think of him. When it comes to the method of raising seedlings, even if he hears his name, he doesn't believe that he invented it...
It seems that the idea of compiling agricultural books on a whim this time is really the best one.
Once this book is published all over the world, our Fang Erlang's reputation will definitely take on a new look and everyone will be praising him! This is not as simple as a false reputation. In this era where moral character is infinitely respected, a good reputation is simply equivalent to a talisman!
As long as this agricultural book is compiled successfully, Fang Jun's reputation will be spread all over the world. It will not be an exaggeration to say that it will be a gold medal for avoiding death, but it is not an exaggeration to seek good luck and avoid disaster!
Not only can he transfer his advanced agricultural knowledge to the world, helping more farmers gain more grain and eat more food, but he can also improve his reputation and reverse the bad reputation of being a "stick" in the past. It is simply killing two birds with one stone!
Not to mention, right now, Dou Jing's perception of Fang Jun has completely changed.
Each song is a masterpiece that is so classic that it can be passed down from generation to generation, which has promoted Fang Jun's status to the pinnacle of scholarship.
The most important thing in the cultural world of the Tang Dynasty was "poetry, wine and romance". In this era before the eight-part essay appeared, an immortal poem passed down to the world could establish a literati's lofty status, and even make a white man fish with it. Jump over the dragon gate and become an official!
And how could Fang Jun’s famous poems be just one or two?
It can be said that since the Tang Dynasty, Fang Jun's achievements in poetry have been enough to crush all the great scholars in Hongxue!
With the spread of the "plagiarism" incident in Chongxian Hall and the circulation of many of Fang Jun's famous poems, although Fang Jun still has not gotten rid of his reputation as a playboy, scholars have recognized his status.
It’s okay not to admit it, but my poetry is really good...
Now that it is known that he has made great achievements in farming, his status has not been improved even a little bit.
Dou Jing rolled her eyes and made up her mind. The agricultural book proposed by Fang Jun must be completed, but...
Dou Jing suddenly looked at Fang Jun nervously and said sternly: "Sinong Temple is a poor yamen. It has no money to print books, let alone distribute them all over the world. Let's talk ugly ahead of time, Erlang, please don't take money from Sinong Temple. Library’s idea!”
Fang Jun had a dark look on his face.
This old miser who treats guests with tea foam...(End of Chapter)
