As the news of the patent law came out, people in Chang'an city still didn't think so. However, after the news of copyright came out, the literati and scholars in Chang'an City cheered.
"Copyright!"
Many scholars can't help but look arrogant. This is the right that scholars all over the world dream of. All the time, the main purpose of writing poetry is to make a name for themselves. There is no profit of a penny at all. Even ordinary scholars, even if it is such amazing poems of Mo Jiazi, are the same.
However, once the patent law has finalized the copyright of literati, any publication that wants to print their poems will pay relevant fees. For the literati, money is a small matter. More importantly, it is a kind of recognition and glory.
"Copyright! Kong Yingda was bought by the Mohist school!" asked Wei Sian in the residence of the Confucian journal.
In his understanding, once the patent law is promulgated, it is obvious that Mohism will benefit the most. As the leader of Confucianism, Kong family can't sit idly by, but he didn't expect to be easily bought by a copyright.
Yu Zhining could not help sighing: "the Mohist school has grasped the weakness of the literati. With copyright, the literati can gain both fame and wealth. No one will refuse, and brother Kong has to push the boat with the current."
"It's just a little writing fee!" said wesan with a cold Snort and a look of contempt.
Yu Zhining shook his head and said, "although we can't count this money, it has become a way for poor people to make a living.
Although the one-time polishing fee is very small, it can't last for a long time! If a scholar has a good reputation and receives the polishing fee in his life, it will certainly be a large amount, not to mention the copyright 50 years after his death, which can be regarded as a way to save money for future generations.
"Then do we want to build a momentum against the patent law in the Confucian journal!" the editor in chief Ma frowned. Originally, he had asked someone to write an article criticizing mojiazi in order to oppose the patent law of mojiazi, but he didn't expect a sudden copyright to disrupt their pace.
Yu Zhining shook his head reluctantly. If they could still make a stumbling block for the Mohist school before, however, the Mohist school would add the copyright to the patent law. If the Mohist journal objects again, the Confucian journal will offend a group of scholars. Is this act of self destruction of the Great Wall done by a wise man.
"The editor in chief is not good. Mo magazine sends a document to solicit contributions from scholars all over the world." suddenly, an editor of a Confucian magazine came to report.
Editor in chief Ma said with a smile when he heard the speech: "it's a big lie in sliding the world. Our literati are the children of saints. How can they fall to the Mohist school? The Mohist school is just insulting itself."
However, editor in chief Ma did not worry about the behavior of ink journals. Confucianism journals are the authentic Confucian journals. How can scholars all over the world turn to ink journals? Isn't this a joke to people all over the world? In the end, it was the Mohists who lost face.
The editor who came to report said with a bitter smile: "the editor in chief doesn't know. The solicitation of Ink magazine is a paid solicitation. Scholars all over the world can mail their poems. Mohism will set up a poetry column. If the poems submitted are adopted, each poem is calculated according to the word, and the minimum money per word is 100 Wen. If you can reach the level of Mohist poetry, you can get up to 1000 Wen per word."
"A word is a thousand words!" cried wesan. Even if it is a five character quatrain with a small number of words, that poem is full of 20 runs. If it is a seven character regular poem with a large number of words, it is full of 112 words, that is, 112 runs.
However, it is worth asking whether the 112 times spent by Mo magazine is worth it. Of course, it is worth it. A poem that can reach a thousand words must be a masterpiece. Such a poem, let alone a thousand words, is not too much.
The editor who came to report nodded and said, "the number of words of essays and Yuefu Poems is large, from 10 to 100 words per word, and the strategy theory is from one to 10 words per word. Even the legendary novels also offer the highest price of 1000 words and 100 words."
"Ink magazine is going to fight us!" editor in chief Ma took a cold breath. Before that, if scholars want to publish articles, they will certainly tend to Confucian magazines. However, under the temptation of so much money, I'm afraid there will be a large number of scholars falling to ink magazines.
"It's outrageous. Editor in chief Ma, you immediately publish an article in the Confucian journal and tell scholars all over the world that our Confucian journal also pays for contributions. Surely we can't be compared by the Mohists." Wei Si'an is young and noble. Although it's a little painful to pay for publishing to scholars all over the world, if the Confucian journal does nothing, it will certainly attract all scholars all over the world. After all, the price of a thousand words is not a small amount.
Yu Zhining sighed slightly: "if Confucianism journals also solicit contributions, it will fall into the trap of Mohism."
"What do you say?" Wei Si'an was stunned.
Yu Zhining explained: "the reason why Mohist scholars have to spend a lot of money to implement paid solicitation is not for Mohist journals, but to improve the value of literati copyright, so as to implement the patent law conducive to Mohist. If Confucian journals also pay for solicitation, wouldn't it be right in Mohist's plan, increase the value of copyright, but help Mohist scholars."
"Why don't Confucian and Mohist journals fight each other, and we don't pay for contributions!" Wei Sian asked cautiously.
Yu Zhining said coldly, "Ink magazine has the largest circulation and gives money. At that time, the best poetry and articles in the world will be submitted to Ink magazine. In less than half a year, ink magazine will run out of Confucianism magazine and close down."
"Not really! Our Confucian journal is the authentic Confucianism!" editor in chief Ma said with some surprise.
"No, in the face of money, what's the use of the so-called false name! Those who contribute are just seeking fame and fortune, not fame and fortune. They are saints who have not produced a person for 500 years. Others let you free twice at a time, and your Confucian journals make a lot of money. Can you have no opinion?" Yu zhininglang said.
Wei Si'an couldn't help but say angrily, "in this case, what Confucian journals do is wrong!"
Yu Zhining nodded and said, "yes, this is the conspiracy of the Mohist school. Even if you collect contributions for a fee, you can only attract some scholars. There will still be a considerable number of scholars to contribute to the Mohist journal!"
"Why is that?" wesan collapsed.
"How many articles can a Confucian journal publish and how many scholars there are in the world? The people who contribute to the Confucian journal make a lot of money, while other scholars who are not adopted suffer. Ha ha, can the remaining scholars have no opinion?" Yu Zhining stalled.
"The Mohist family, it's really easy to calculate!" Wei Si'an said angrily. A copyright is killing two birds with one stone. It can buy off scholars at one stroke, that is, it can pass the patent law in favor of the Mohist family and get the Mohist magazine out of trouble.
Editor in chief Ma sighed. There was still a layer of worry in his heart. Although the Wei family had extraordinary financial resources if they were paid for contributions, Wei Si'an, after all, was a second son with limited wealth, which could not be compared with the wealth of the Mohist village, let alone the Mohist family's expert in turning stone into gold. This time, the Confucian journals must fall into the disadvantage in the dispute between the two literati.
