853. The Inspiration of Manuscript Fees

Jingwen thought about how to protect the interests of those technicians, but he couldn't think about it, because once the technology spread, their interests would be damaged. Unless they can be made aware of the benefits of technology diffusion, they will be willing to teach the land. But Jingwen couldn't figure it out, technology diffusion would still be beneficial to them, and ancient technology diffusion was not beneficial at all. Therefore, Jingwen is completely clueless. And then, Jingwen also went home.

"Lin'er, your belly is getting bigger and bigger, and you will give birth in less than three months, you have a good rest!" Jingwen said.

But Cheng Lin took the initiative to say: "Husband, I received a good news. ”

"What's the good news?" Jingwen asked.

"Husband, our current publishing house has just made a lot of money! The editors of the publishing house published a book, and then it sold well, and got a lot of money. And that author also gets a lot of money, according to you, we give him 15 percent of the money printed. And this time he sold 20,000 copies, and according to the proportion of the usual money for a book, then he could get 3,000 yuan. And this is only the first batch, maybe it will spread all over the country next, then he can get more than 10,000 yuan. Therefore, if he saves a little in this life, he can live a lifetime. Our publishing house has not been open for three years, and it has been open for three years. And now more and more people are coming to submit, so we can choose more good manuscripts. Cheng Lin said.

Jingwen knew what Cheng Lin was talking about, that was the business of the publishing house opened by Jingwen. According to the business of the publishing house, Jingwen can give the author 15% of the price of the book as a royalty each time, and a book can be sold for a consistent price. Although this money seems to be very high, it is enough to reach half a month's salary for many people, but it was not high in ancient times. Before the invention of a new paper-making technique, a book was enough to reach dozens of dollars, so it was already very impressive to reduce the amount of money to the same level.

The standard for Jingwen to give manuscript fees is according to the method of later generations, for the life before the author's death. Then, twenty years after his death, he could give them a manuscript fee. And when they die, the fee is distributed among their descendants. This brings great benefits to those authors who write books.

Originally, those so-called scholars didn't have much way to make a living, so let them do business, and they thought it was a cheap job. And let them go to work for others, obviously they can't pull their faces. Therefore, they are not high or low. And now they can write books for a living, and they are happy to do so. And now that they have this path, they will naturally not oppose it, and there are already a group of people who make a living by writing books. There are even people who write a book that sells well, and then they can live without food and clothing for the rest of their lives. This has to be said to be the ideal that ancient people dreamed of attaining.

Earning money by writing books, and then being worth a lot, no one can scold him. Even those old masters will acquiesce to this result, because this also shows that there is a golden house in the book, and there is a statement that Yan Ruyu has in the book. Although the Tang Dynasty did not have its own golden house and Yan Ruyu in the book, everyone saw this situation and could understand it in this regard. And many people have made a fortune because they have sold a big-selling book. Then you can buy land and become a landlord.

"Huh? If the sales are increased, then you can get royalties for the copyright? So why can't we take this thing and get it to the ordinary technical side? Jingwen suddenly thought.

Jing Wen suddenly had a flash of inspiration, since literati can make money by writing books and then selling books through the guò publishing house. So why can't those technicians make money by researching these products? Jingwen also thought about why those technicians were reluctant to teach the technology in their hands to others in ancient times, it was probably because there was no patent protection in ancient times. And once those technicians teach others, others can also use these skills for free. Instead of giving money constantly. And people can also continue to teach others, and then it seems to be passed down layer by layer, and finally the technology spreads. And as a source of technology. The first person to teach will not only not be able to gain benefits, but will suffer great losses, which is the reason why those technicians are reluctant to teach the technology.

And once there is patent protection, those high-level skilled workers can make a living from inventions, and then they continue to create new products, and then pass on these production techniques to others. Others also have to rely on patents to give a part of the profits generated to the source of technology, so that as the source of technology, once there is patent protection, the diffusion of technology will not only not bring them great losses, but will allow them to obtain great benefits. If this kind of technology diffusion can bring great benefits, will the technology source be more diligent in teaching technology? Even, they will wish for a greater diffusion of technology, so that they have more benefits.

With patents, greater benefits can be obtained, so that those high-tech people may also work harder to research new technologies, and then they can get more profits. Patents can be said to be a thing that stimulates the development of science and technology, and the development of many civilizations in later generations is promoted by patents. Because with patent protection, scientists will get a lot of benefits, and then they will work harder to promote the development of science and technology, because they can get a lot of benefits in the process. As for the patent before it starts, they all rely on their own interests to research, and once the research is done, the whole people can use it for free. I'm afraid not many people can support this kind of thing of losing money and making money.

Therefore, the reason why later generations paid so much attention to scientific and technological patents is actually because patents have promoted the development of human civilization to a large extent, so everyone attaches so much importance to them. And now that Jingwen can put forward the copyright and the income guarantee of literary works, why can't it provide protection for these patents? As long as patent protection can be provided, will workers-technicians resist the proliferation of technology? And once the technology spreads, then they get more benefits, and they will continue to support the technology diffusion.

"I'm such a genius that I actually came up with this method, ho ho ......" Jingwen smirked smirked.

And Cheng Lin thought that Jingwen was sick and almost asked the doctor to come to see him. (To be continued......)
