The next day, Jing Wen got up from Cui Ying's bed and felt refreshed. This time, he made an agreement with several beauties that would carry out the so-called family planning so that each of them could conceive a child. For the ancients, only a woman with a child was considered a complete woman, otherwise she would be an incomplete woman at all. So now that they are old, they should have children for Jing Wen, so that they would not be in vain to support them!

"Lin'er, please accompany me to the publishing house! I'll go and see what books have been recently and what good things are there." Jing Wen said.

"Yeah!" Cui Ying replied.

Jing Wen came to the book printing workshop and wanted to come and see what new novels have recently been. The so-called novels are called story books at this time. In recent years, there has been a trend of writing novels and stories, because you can get royalties for writing this thing. According to Jing Wen's previous settings, each book can get royalties, and calculated according to the sales quantity, and the proportion of royalties is higher than that of later generations. This is not a low income for many people, and even because of the gradual cheapness of paper, it is actually a very widespread way to write novels to make a living. After all, this kind of writing is an elegant thing for literati. Compared to working for others, this kind of writing can actually better reflect his talents. Therefore, people who have read books also want to make a living by writing books, which is not bad.

"Well, is this an ancient long historical novel? From the Qin Dynasty?" Jing Wen asked.

"Yes, husband, this book is a book we have just passed the review recently. It should be possible for us to invest in and publish. It tells the story of how a Confucian scholar preserved his knowledge when Qin Shihuang burned books and buried scholars. We thought there should be a large market, so we decided to publish it." Cheng Lin said.

Jing Wen was speechless. Jing Wen could think that the selling point of this book was to cater to those Confucian scholars. In this era, almost all those who had read books were researchers of Confucianism. So they felt deeply that this Confucian scholar had a deep impression of protecting knowledge, avoiding Qin Shihuang's pursuit and burning books and burying scholars in order to protect his knowledge. This is actually a story of Qin Shihuang as an oss and then constantly running away. This is aimed at a certain type of person on the market, which can cultivate many hard-core book fans. This guy is indeed capable. Just like the online novels of later generations, they must cater to readers. If they cannot cater to readers, they may also fail.

However, according to Jing Wen, a writer of later online novels, we naturally need to know that market positioning is also very important. In the words of later online novels, the positioning of this book is very popular, and it is considered good to cater to those Confucian scholars. However, Jing Wen adheres to this kind of thing to make money, and there is no need to worry about it. Anyway, people can make money by selling books, and their own publishing house can make money, and if it makes money, Jing Wen makes money, so there is no need to worry about any problems.

"What are those piles?" Jing Wen pointed to the piles of things in the distance back then.

"Oh, husband, these are all eliminated books, that is, we do not intend to invest in and publish them ourselves. These books only have two endings, either they are published at their own expense. Or they are always in the warehouse and will not be taken out for publication. After all, things we don't like will naturally not be published. Of course, we will follow the process you set by husband, first let every new editor go to the warehouse to check it out. Let the new editor see if there are any suitable books for publishing."

When Jingwen was established, he stipulated that every new editorial area warehouse could see whether there were any books in it that they could read. Because Jingwen knew that everyone had different tastes or the eyes of the times, they could not see which books were popular. Therefore, letting the new editors look at those old books to see if they could meet the appetite of the new era. If they had been reviewed by the new editor, they could still publish them. If they did not work, they could only keep silent in the warehouse.

Jing Wen didn't say much, so he picked up some books to read. These books were all eliminated books, so Jing Wen took them out and read them. Cheng Lin saw Jing Wen read these eliminated books so seriously, but she didn't say much, just waiting in place.

"This book? "Agriculture and Sects"?"

Jing Wen saw a book called "Agriculture and Smuggling", which introduced some agricultural and mulberry silkworm breeding methods. Jing Wen saw it specifically talked about how to grow wheat and survive more easily, that is, a set of wheat-planting techniques, and there are also techniques for planting mulberry trees and raising mulberry silkworms. Obviously, these are all technical books, books that specifically explain agricultural and mulberry technology. But these technologies have also fallen here and are not used to publish them?

"Lin'er, why was this book killed?" Jing Wen asked.

Cheng Lin looked at the book and said, "Husband, our editors think there is no market for this book?"

"Why is there no market? This is a book about farming and sericulture technology. More than 90% of the population in my country are farmers. How could there be no market?" Jing Wen asked.

Cheng Lin said: "My husband, although more than 90% of our country are farmers, farmers are illiterate. Their illiteracy means that they cannot understand the things in this book. What's more, these books are all professional terms, and farmers rely on the experience accumulated over the years to cultivate. Even if they are literate, they cannot understand such books. This kind of books is more profound than those words, and few people who have read books can understand it. So we conclude that there is no market for this kind of books and there is no need to publish them. Of course, if someone is willing to publish them at their own expense, we have nothing to say. However, we generally will not publish such books that are clearly unable to make money."

After listening to it, Jing Wen began to ponder for a long time. No wonder Cheng Lin was unwilling to publish such books that could not make money. However, Jing Wen knew deeply about the role of these books and could effectively ensure the inheritance of agricultural technology. Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to pay attention to it.

"We paid for this book and made advance payment for it. And, we bought out this book, gave him a huge amount of money to buy out all the profit rights of this book at one time!" Jing Wen said.

"What? Buy out? Why?" Cheng Lin was a little surprised. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
