She doesn't need the profound knowledge content of these books, as long as the content they teach 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 the food in every place can be discussed.
For the group of book editors living in the bookstore, that is - I don’t know what people from wealthy families are thinking. Isn’t this too "cheating"?
Yes, it is a lie.
To them, it is simply shameful that something so superficial that even an individual can know must be compiled into a book.
But whoever gives them the money is the person, and whoever gives them the monthly silver is the uncle.
What's more, the uncle also said: "According to my standards, whoever completes the best will get a bonus."
In addition to monthly awards, there are also awards in various categories.
In short, there are only awards you can't think of, and there are no awards that others can't give out.
They don't know what the wealthy people think, so they don't bother 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 has won the most awards.
Speaking of which, Yang Xia was also a hard-luck man. His father was a scholar, but unfortunately, his mother passed away not long after giving birth to him.
As a scholar, his father naturally had no ability to make money, and he also had to take the imperial examination. Yang Xia was still young, so his grandma married his father again.
It is said that if you have a stepmother, you will have a stepfather, and the same is true for Yang Xia.
His father was very kind to him at the beginning, but unfortunately his father was away from home all year round, and there were only two people in the house, his mother and his stepmother. If his stepmother was not good to him, few people could really stop her.
As a result, Yang Xia was full and hungry since she was a child, and she became so thin that she lost her human shape.
When his father came back and saw what his master was wearing, he had a quarrel with his stepmother.
At that time, his father failed to pass the provincial examination, and his stepmother initially thought that his father was incompetent, so the fight turned against him, and then...
Then the stepmother remarried directly.
Because of this matter, his grandma also quarreled with his father. She would rather not take the imperial examination and stay at home to take good care of him. She directly found a job as an accountant and took care of Yang Xia while working.
It was also at that time that Yang Xia began to learn to read with his father and felt a little fatherly love.
Unfortunately, within a few years, his father passed away due to a cold.
As a young boy, Yang Xia had no place to stay, and when he returned to the countryside, he was chased away by his mother, saying that he was not a good person and had killed his parents.
After wandering for several years, Yang Xia experienced all kinds of people, and finally met Gu Qingling's people, and sold herself into Yao's Bookstore.
Probably because of his early experiences, Yang Xia cherishes everything he has now, and he was particularly careful when compiling the book.
He was a very smart person, and after compiling a few more books at Gu Qingling's request, he somewhat understood what Gu Qingling wanted - a children's book that talked about all kinds of "common sense."
The world is so big that it is impossible for one person to travel all over the world, nor to know all the "common sense" in the world, so at this time, various books are needed to record these things and tell those who have not yet left home, what to know about this
A child who knows nothing about the world.
Several other book editors saw that Yang Xia had compiled one book after another that satisfied the owner. They were not jealous, but this kind of thing really depends on talent. Obviously the same thing, others are just the same.
They can make it up, but if they can't, who's to blame?
"Who is to blame? Blame yourself..." Zhao Laoliu rolled his eyes and said with disdain, "To put it bluntly, it's not that he can talk and hug other people's thighs, otherwise, it's just the things he made
, how many of them like it?"
"That's not what I'm saying. Our boss didn't ask us to write anything very advanced," someone said on behalf of Yang Xia. "Didn't you see the sample books that my boss brought over? One by one, they are very simple.
A painting, paired with a few lines of words, can explain this matter clearly..."
It's just a pity that whether it's the "Three Character Classic", "The Rhymes" or "The Book of Songs", there is only so much content, and it's done as soon as it's compiled. They can't keep compiling the same thing.
My boss also requested that I not just edit the existing books but also edit something else.
"Hasn't Yang Xia never touched these adapted books? He knew we couldn't get his kind, so he asked us to get this one. It's just that the money is a little short."
There is naturally a difference in bonuses for new books edited and adapted books.
New books have higher bonuses than adapted books.
Several people were talking about Yang Xia's words there, but they didn't expect Yang Xia to hear them, and they looked embarrassed.
"You... why are you here?" The person who spoke for Yang Xia felt a little uncomfortable when he saw him, "We are drinking, do you want to have a few drinks together?"
Yang Xia raised her eyebrows: "Okay, add a cup."
I squeezed in directly.
He had known for a long time that Zhao Laoliu and the others did not like him, but he was usually busy compiling books and had no time to talk to them.
If it weren't for some of them to speak for him, Yang Xia really wouldn't want to deal with them.
After three rounds of drinking, several people started chatting.
Although Zhao Laoliu had grievances, after talking about it, it was nothing more than those things. For example, he had an elder and a younger one, and the family relied on him for food. He was ambitious and thought he could rely on Yao's Bookstore.
Earn more money and let your family live a good life.
As a result, every time Zhao Laoliu compiled a book and wanted to take a chance on the generous bonus, he was snatched away by Yang Xia.
Once or twice, if it happened too many times, wouldn't Zhao Laoliu become angry with Yang Xia?
Yang Xia is also innocent. He really didn't know that the new book he compiled collided with Zhao Laoliu.
Yes, he is a person. He can eat enough for himself and the whole family will not be hungry. But isn’t that because he never had enough to eat when he was a child and he habitually wants to make more money to avoid hunger?
"Oh, actually you are really overthinking it. My master really didn't want you to compile a very advanced book. Who do you think this book is for?"
"Children, three- and two-year-old children, what do they know? You have all raised children. If you go back and ask your own children, don't you know?"
"As long as your own children can understand it, then it's absolutely fine to give it to the owner."
…
Yang Xia was also generous and told them everything he knew.
Anyway, books like this can never be compiled in a lifetime. There is so much "knowledge" in the world, and he is not afraid that they will compete with him.
Zhao Laoliu and the others saw that Yang Xia was not as inaccessible as they thought, so the unhappiness in their hearts dissipated and said: "Well, after we compile the book, you can help us read it and make sure it's ok.
How about turning it in more?"
"Yang Xia, don't be afraid that we will take advantage of you. When we get the bonus, we will give you a commission."
"Yes, yes, we won't let you work in vain."
…
Unbeknownst to Gu Qingling, a person in charge gradually emerged among the editors.
In fact, what they didn't know was that Gu Qingling originally wanted to arrange several lead editors, but there were too few book editors in the bookshop, and she didn't know them all well, so she just left it alone.
She asked them to be busy first, that is, she wanted to get to know everyone first, and then arrange the next step when they were almost done.
When they considered asking Yang Xia to help them with the "preliminary review", they had actually already selected the "team leader" of their own group.
