Chapter 378 Book editor

She doesn't need the profound knowledge content of these books, as long as the content is correct.
Sowing in spring, harvesting in autumn, what are the characteristics of each season, what are the representative plants and animals...
That is, every season and every place can be explained.
For those book editors who are kept in bookstores, that is, I don’t know what the wealthy family are thinking. This is too "scam"?
Yes, it's just a fraud.
For them, it is shameful to have such a shallow thing that anyone can know about is to be compiled into the book.
But whoever gave the money was the other party, whoever gave their monthly silver was the old man.
What's more, the old man also said: "According to my standards, whoever completes the best will get the bonus."
In addition to monthly awards, there are also various categories of reviews.
In short, there are only awards you can't imagine, and no awards you can't give.
They don’t know what the wealthy people think, so they are too lazy to think about it. Anyway, as long as they get the things out, they can get the money.
Among them, the one named Yang Xia is the one who won the most awards.
Speaking of which, Yang Xia is also a miserable person. His father is a scholar, but unfortunately, his mother passed away not long after she gave birth to him.
As a scholar, his father naturally had no ability to make money and wanted to take the imperial examination. Yang Xia was young, so he married his father again.
It is said that with a stepmother, there will be a stepmother, and so on Yang Xia.
At first, his father was very nice to him, but unfortunately his father was away all year round, and there were only two people in the family, his nanny and stepmother. If the stepmother was not good to him, there were really few people who could stop him.
So, Yang Xia has been full and hungry since childhood, and she is so thin that she is not as thin as a human.
When his father came back, he saw his master wearing it, and had a fight with his stepmother.
At that time, his father failed the local examination, and the stepmother thought his father was incompetent, so she turned her face off and...
Then the stepmother remarried.
His mother also quarreled with his father about this matter. He would rather not go to the imperial examinations than stay at home to take good care of him. He directly found a job in the accounting office, and while working, he took care of Yang Xia.
It was only then that Yang Xia began to learn to read with his father and felt a little fatherly love.
Unfortunately, within a few years, his father had a cold and went away.
As a half-baby Yang Xia, she was not in the area. When she returned to the countryside, she was driven away by his breasts, saying that he was not a good person and that he would die of his parents.
After wandering for a few years, Yang Xia saw all kinds of human feelings and finally met Gu Qingling's people and sold her to Yao's bookstore.
Perhaps because of his early experience, Yang Xia cherished everything she has now and wrote it very seriously when editing books.
He was a very smart person. After compiling a few more books according to Gu Qingling's request, he understood what Gu Qingling wanted - both as a children's book and all kinds of "common sense".
The world is so great that a person cannot travel all over the world, nor can he know all the "common sense" in the world. Therefore, at this time, all kinds of books are needed to record these things and tell those children who have not yet left the house and have no idea about the world.
Several other book editors saw Yang Xia compiled one book after another and satisfying the owner, and they were not jealous, but this kind of thing really depends on talent. It is obvious that the same thing can be compiled, but they can't write it out, so who should I blame?
"Who is it? I'll blame myself..." Zhao Laoliu rolled his eyes and said disdainfully, "To put it bluntly, he can speak and hold the head of the house. Otherwise, how many of the things he made would like to see?"
"That's not the case. The head of the house didn't ask us to write anything profound," someone said for Yang Xia. "Didn't you see the sample books brought by the head of the house? One by one, it's very simple. Just write a picture with a few lines of words, just explain this matter clearly..."
But unfortunately, whether it is the "Three Character Classic", "Pair of Rhymes", or "Book of Songs", there are only some contents, and they will be compiled after they are compiled. It is impossible for them to edit them as usual.
The head of the family also asked that they should not edit the books they already have, but also compile some other things.
"Isn't Yang Xia touched these adapted books? He knew we couldn't get his kind, so he asked us to do this, which would be a little less."
There is naturally a difference between the bonuses of new books compiled and adapted books.
New books have higher bonuses than adapted books.
Several people were talking about Yang Xia's words, but Yang Xia didn't expect that he would hear it, looking embarrassed.
"You...why are you here?" The man who spoke for Yang Xia felt uncomfortable when he saw him, "We are drinking, do you want to have a few drinks together?"
Yang Xia raised her eyebrows: "Yes, add a cup."
He squeezed in directly.
He had long known that Zhao Laoliu and the others didn't like their own affairs, but he was busy editing books and had no time to pay attention to them.
If it weren't for some of them talking for them, Yang Xia wouldn't really want to deal with them.
After drinking for three rounds, several people also started chatting.
Although Zhao Laoliu was resentful, after he talked, it was nothing more than those things. For example, he had old people above and young people below, and a few families relied on him to make a living. He was ambitious and thought he could make more money from Yao's bookstore and let his family live a good life.
As a result, every time Zhao Laoliu compiled a book and wanted to take advantage of the generous bonus, he was snatched away by Yang Xia.
Once or twice, the number of times is too many, won’t Zhao Laoliu get angry with Yang Xia?
Yang Xia is also innocent. He really doesn't know that the new book he compiled had collided with Zhao Laoliu.
Yes, he is alone, and his family is not hungry if he eats his fill alone, but isn’t he not full when he was a child, and he habitually wants to make more money to avoid hunger?
"Oh, you're really thinking too much. The Lord really doesn't want you to compile a very advanced book. Do you think, who do you read the Lord's books for?"
"Children, three or two years old, what do they know? You have raised children, and you will know when you go back and ask your own children?"
"As long as your own children can understand something, they will give it to the master's house, it's absolutely right."
...
Yang Xia was also generous and told them everything he knew.
Anyway, there is no way to write anything like a book in your life. There is so much "knowledge" in the world, so he is not afraid of them snatching him.
Zhao Laoliu and the others saw that Yang Xia was not as difficult as they thought, so the unhappiness in their hearts disappeared and said, "Then in this way, we will compile the book in the future, please help us read it and make sure there is no problem. How about we hand it over?"
"Yang Xia, don't be afraid that we will take advantage of you. When we get the bonus, we will get you a commission."
“对对对,我们也不让你白忙活.”
...
When Gu Qingling didn't know, there was a leading man among the editors.
In fact, what they didn't know was that Gu Qingling originally wanted to arrange a few leaders, but there were too few book editors in the bookstore, and she didn't know much about everyone, so she kept leaving it alone.
She asked them to work hard first, that is, they wanted to touch everyone's bottom first, and wait until it was almost done before arranging the next step.
Chapter completed!
