Chapter 2107： Help Martin Luther to publish books and become famous

For Bond's experience, Marin had long anticipated. Just like later generations, stars who are good at packaging themselves are more popular than greater scientists. Without him, most ordinary people are sensory animals.

For most ordinary people, they actually do not have a firm will and a mature and stable worldview, and they are very susceptible to outside influences. In other words, it is easy to be deceived by the outside world.

In the words of Goebbels, the Minister of Propaganda of San Dezi-a lie is repeated a thousand times and it becomes the truth!

In the same way, celebrities use media platforms to bombard the sight and hearing of ordinary people. Even if he is bad, after bombarding your hearing and vision more than a thousand times, you have to admit that he is very famous.

Why is capital so powerful? Because they bought the media channels, they constantly bombarded your vision and hearing, and forced you to accept their strange remarks like forcibly feeding them.

For a mature and highly educated adult, there may be some resistance. For a minor who has not established the correct values, this is simply a disaster.

Before World War II, compulsory education had been popularized in Germany, but the rate of university enrollment was relatively high. In such a country with a relatively high population quality, the media controlled by Na Chui has been crippled by repeated propaganda, and a country has become crippled. Among them, there are many senior intellectuals.

Even in the 21st century, there are people who are crippled by the Internet and insist that the false news they know is the truth. MLM or something can always fool many people.

So, to sum up, most people can be fooled. This is applicable in the 21st century when education is very developed, and in the 16th century, it can be changed to-most people can be fooled!

This is because the literacy rate of people in this era is extremely low, and illiterate people are especially superstitious and even more foolish. Even the college students of this age, because they still believe in religion, so they can fool around.

Therefore, Bond simply used the brass mirror to create a lighting effect, and then added a little bgm to the children's choir to make him the most popular professor of theology, far surpassing the real schoolmaster Martin Luther.

…

Of course, Bond did not forget his mission. Whenever he had the opportunity, he would promote Martin Luther's knowledge and greatness. The reason for this is that Martin Luther will take the lead in doing things in the future. And doing things requires prestige.

Therefore, every time Bond lectured, he would emphasize that he was inspired by his exchanges with Professor Martin Luther...

Because of this, Martin Luther didn't mind Bond copying his handouts. After all, Bond always emphasized that he was inspired by him every time, and he did not take credit for money. Martin Luther wanted to blame, but couldn't find the point of blame.

Moreover, Bond really wants to make a name for Martin Luther. After all, it is impossible for him to take the lead in carrying out the Reformation, and he also counts on Martin Luther to take the lead as the eldest brother.

However, seeing his prestige far surpassed Martin Luther, so Bond was a little panicked. In particular, Martin Luther is currently writing a statement against the holy See's peddling of indulgences. If the prestige is not enough, wouldn't it be thrown into the water and not sound when making trouble?

Bond was very worried, so he asked Marin through a secret channel-how to solve the problem of Martin Luther's prestige being overshadowed by him...

…

Marin received a letter from Bond asking for help, and his face was speechless-Nima, isn't this the legendary case of "undercover mixed into a black boss"?

According to the "undercover mixed into a black boss" case, the method is to directly close the net and catch it all in one go. But Bond’s question is more complicated, because Martin Luther is not a criminal and cannot close the net.

The only problem is that Martin Luther's prestige is overshadowed by the "supporting role" Bond...

How to do it? Of course it is to find a way to increase the prestige of Martin Luther!

And how to increase prestige? After much deliberation, Marin thought of a way-to publish a book!

In later generations, publishing a book is a magic weapon to promote and compel. Many celebrities with low quality will also publish books to gain prestige and establish a dominance in their studies. Of course, except for a small number of people who write their own writing and find someone to proofread it. Most stars actually provide general ideas and experiences on their own, and then find a shooter to complete.

This method is relatively rare after 2010. Mainly, having entered the Internet age, the battlefield of celebrities has turned to meager and other Internet platforms, where they will post long posts or something at every turn.

Before the emergence and maturity of online platforms, print media was also an important propaganda front. At the same time, publishing a book is also an important means of improving compulsion. This method was very popular in the 1990s and early 21st century. Because it was an era of literature and art. If you don’t decorate the literary style, it will look very special...

As for the earlier 80s...Sorry, there was no entertainment circle in the Mainland at that time, only the art circle...

…

Of course, later generations cannot be compared with the 16th century. With such a developed culture in later generations, writing books is not difficult. At a certain point, there are countless people rushing to write books every day to ask for subscriptions, just like beggars. In the words of Zhi Zun Bao, that street writer is like a dog...

But in the 16th century, let alone writing, reading was very difficult. Anyone who can write a book that has no grammatical errors and can tell a little truth can be dubbed a "scholar" and gain countless fame!

Marin gave Bond instructions, but Bond found out—it looks like Martin Luther hasn’t written a book yet...

Also, Martin Luther received a doctorate in theology in 1512, and he has only taught for less than 5 years, which is equivalent to the level of a general faculty in a later university. In addition to the highest academic qualifications, nothing has been achieved yet.

In recent years, Martin Luther did not have much time to write books because he was busy teaching. Moreover, this guy is only 34 years old this year, and he is not too young. It belongs to the stage of leaving the rookie, but has not yet reached the age of the master level.

So it seems difficult to get Martin Luther to publish a book...

The information was fed back to Marin, and Marin asked the spy to take a copy of Martin Luther's case. As a result, Marin found a bright spot—although it was in the Latin version. However, all of Martin Luther's lesson plans were translated into German and annotated.

Moreover, in its commentary, there is also a faint tendency to oppose the Holy See for reform...

For example, in his religious plan, his intention to oppose the deification of the pope is faintly revealed. Moreover, according to the content, he opposes the sculptures and religious paintings of gods and religious paintings carried out by the Holy See, and believes that this is the idolatry that Li expressly opposes.

In addition, Martin Luther believed that the confession does not have to go through the priest, but directly confessed to God. Because he believes that God is everywhere and can communicate directly without going through the priest. Moreover, it is not a good thing for the priest to listen to too many other people's privates through confession. Because there have been bad things in which priests used other people's secrets to blackmail money. Of course, the priest would not come forward by himself, but would tell the agent about his secrets and let the agent go for blackmail.

"Huh? This lesson plan is very good. Come, send someone to edit it, and you can publish it in German directly!"

In order to help Martin Luther become famous, Marin directly sent someone to summarize his teaching plan, and obtained the German translation of Martin Luther. Moreover, a regular appendix was also made, which added a lot of insights from Martin Luther.

Of course, in order not to offend the church. Malin specially asked to delete some of the anti-Pope statements of the Catholic Church.

Then, got a copy of Martin Luther's German.

Subsequently, Marin sent the book to Wittenberg and handed it to Bond. Then, another spy was sent to pretend to be a big businessman, expressing his willingness to actively contribute funds to help with publishing and printing.

When Martin Luther got the news, his face was dumb—what? I have written a book?

But when he opened the German version, Martin Luther discovered that these were indeed the words he had translated and said. Moreover, some of these anti-Holy See comments were hidden. And his usual lesson plans are only often borrowed by Bond, so it goes without saying who helped to summarize the books.

"Thank you, Calvin!" Martin Luther was grateful. After all, a scholar like him doesn't care about money, but he cares about reputation. Otherwise, they would not jump out to engage in religious reform.

In this way, with the secret support of Marin, Martin Luther's German version was quickly printed and published. Moreover, in order to avoid hostility from the church, the cover of this book specifically states that this is the theological textbook of the Wittenberg University Divinity School. UU reading

What's more, the printing uses yellowed soil paper without brighteners produced by the paper mill on Cape Breton Island in the North Sea. This kind of paper was originally used to make oil paper, so no brighteners were added. After all, brighteners may affect food safety. After all, oil paper is mostly used to package food, and safety comes first.

The reason why Marin used this kind of yellowed earthen paper was also helpless—the white paper that Beihai had passed over was too conspicuous, and he knew it at first glance. Only the unwhitened yellowish earthy paper looks a bit like European hemp paper.

But the cost of Beihai Land Paper is very low, printing a few hundred sheets of paper, the cost is only about 20 pfennigs, which is one-third of gold coins. In this era, a parchment paper made of four or five hundred pieces of parchment paper can be exchanged for a vineyard worth dozens of gold coins. Hemp paper is cheaper, but the price is definitely more than 10 gold coins...

Therefore, in this era, if there is a copy in the family, it belongs to a rich family. If there is a parchment, it can be called a local tyrant...

But Marin was to help Martin Luther make a name for himself, so he gave the spy who impersonated a wealthy businessman a symbolic collection of "wages"—two gold coins each!

In fact, as far as Beihai country's printing plants are concerned, the profits are still huge. But compared to the cost of other families in this era, this price is definitely a blood loss...

Therefore, Marin not only helped Martin Luther publish his book this time, he also made a small profit by relying on the price difference. The 5000 copies of Martin Luther's German version printed can bring him more than two thousand gold coins in profit.

It's not that I don't want to print more, but that the literacy rate is too low these years. You print tens of thousands of copies, not to mention whether people can afford it, even if they can afford it, they are illiterate and can’t understand... Therefore, 5000 copies are already considered a large scale, enough to be famous...
