Chapter eight hundred and thirty first famous(1/2)
In Fang Yuan's previous life, he was very famous for his book "The Wealth of Nations", known as the pioneer of modern economics, and had a profound impact on the development of capitalism.
Although due to some historical limitations, the control of a certain "invisible hand" was too emphasized, but people are not sages. Only at that time, the author of the book suddenly became a sensible figure in economics and gained the respect of many capitalists.
According to Fang Yuan's investigation during this period, although Insman entered the Age of Discovery and steam power was put into use, the upper-level ideas were still in a chaotic period. In other words, in economics, there is no truly high-level masterpiece to support the scene. There is no doubt that this is Donald's opportunity.
As for how this masterpiece came about?
He had read it once in his previous life.
Of course, it’s just a kind of browsing and forgetting after reading it, but don’t forget that Fang Yuan is a dream master!
Since becoming a dream master, you can mobilize your memories at will and uncover many dusty treasures. Even if you were just a glance back then, you will still be vivid in your mind and never fall into words.
It is naturally an idiot when it comes to pure retelling, but after some deletion and modification, we can definitely adapt to this era more.
With this, Donald can be made famous.
"As for the order, my lord, just..."
A trace of doubt appeared on Donald's face: "I only learned the reading and writing skills after being an apprentice for a while... I'm afraid no one will believe me!"
He has a deep understanding of the contempt of the upper class.
"This is very simple. You just say you learned it yourself, because you like reading books about economics in your spare time... If it really doesn't work, you can also say it's God's Revelation!"
There was a subtle curve at the corner of Fang Yuan's mouth.
Even if someone discovers the trick, what if?
In other words, Donald himself is a huge flaw. Such a strong contrast is to attract attention and divert them to the issue of faith!
Anyway, the Lord of Dream Soldier is not an evil god.
He even mastered many advanced knowledge and mysterious rituals that allow people to gain power. As long as he has an in-depth understanding, he will most likely be shaken.
At this time, Fang Yuan was worried about whether he should involve the fields of steam machinery and economy?
In this era of the joint development of the great navigation and the industrial revolution, these two fields seem to be a little more valuable than dreams and weapons.
...
Another wonderful morning.
Thomas was wearing pajamas and having breakfast leisurely.
On the white tablecloth are bacon, fried eggs, bread, cheese, and the freshest fruit.
Next to him, a butler was carefully ironing the newspaper for him.
After he finished eating, he was drinking coffee leisurely while flipping through the news that there was no ink stain on his hands.
"The Spice Islands are storms, and production has dropped sharply this year, and the price of spices may rise sharply!"
"The plantation on the coast of Cape Black was attacked by indigenous people, with heavy casualties!"
"A huge silver mine was found on a large island somewhere in the Nightmare Sea... This is really good news!"
...
Thomas is a jazz and is currently employed by Viscount Florent as an advisor.
As the lowest level among the nobles, serving the superior nobles and receiving rewards is not something that is difficult to say.
However, what Thomas is most proud of is not his identity and position, but that he is still a scholar! A scholar who studies economics!
This is not self-proclaimed, but a reputation that has been accumulated slowly. Even Insman Royal College hired him to become a lifelong visiting professor at the School of Economics.
Such honor certainly made him a popular party for high-class parties. If some high-end cultural salons were not present, they would immediately become much less beautiful.
Of course, Thomas also has his own arrogance. When he is old, his energy is gradually becoming too weak, and he rarely participates in non-professional salons and parties.
"Okay, my housekeeper, what are my schedule today?"
Thomas asked slowly as he put the last bite of coffee in his mouth and savored the bitterness first and then sweetness.
"You need to attend the opening ceremony of a shipyard today. Also, Mrs. Du Lissa has already handed you three invitations..."
The butler is meticulous and authentic.
"Du Lisa...that passionate little girl!"
Thomas murmured, like a child who had stolen candy, savoring the sweet taste of the past: "It would be great if I was thirty years younger..."
"Also, you received a letter from Donald!"
The butler said at the end.
"Donald..."
Thomas was a little confused and then knocked his head: "I remember...that lucky little guy?"
He was indeed very lucky to survive the pirates and make a fortune. He had all his impression of Donald.
"Yes!"
The housekeeper took out a thick belief: "The letter paper has been checked, no problem!"
Hearing this, Thomas pulled out the letter.
There is a letter and a stack of manuscripts inside.
"draft?"
Thomas looked at the letter in confusion, and on it, Thomas greeted him in a humble manner, and said that he had some insights recently when he was watching economics books. He wrote some things out and asked him to correct them.
"Oh? Is this the goddess joking me? A sailor told me that he wrote an economics paper?"
Thomas muttered directly, his eyes full of contempt: "Take it away... a clown who tries to get into the upper class, is he crazy to become famous?"
"Abide by the order!"
The housekeeper was about to step forward when he suddenly saw Thomas wave his hand: "Wait a minute..."
At the back of the letter, Donald directly admitted that he had not only sent the draft to Thomas, but also several other famous scholars, and even the Royal Academy and newspaper publishers, which clearly meant to promote it at any cost.
After all, a nouveau riche will have some effect after all.
Therefore, Thomas pondered for a while and picked up the manuscript: "Research on the nature and reasons of national wealth? Such a big topic, haha..."
He looked at it, but after a few minutes, his face became a little solemn.
"…The selfishness of people in economic life is the prerequisite for studying market economy..."
"Rely on the market, the 'invisible' hand, to manage the economy..."
...
The more he looked, Thomas's eyes became brighter and even his palm began to tremble slightly: "This... cannot... how could a sailor write such a thing?"
This paper really put out some vague statements in his mind and some uncertain views, giving him a feeling of pleasure.
"Donald?"
After reading it three times, Thomas, who had completely left the opening ceremony behind and Madame Du Lissa, began to carefully consider Donald.
"What a pity..."
After a long time, he sighed.
From his perspective, of course, we can see what kind of earthquakes will be triggered in the field of economic research as soon as this article is published.
To put it bluntly, praise and reputation will follow one after another, and the author himself will definitely become famous.
Even if it is enough to get the title of professor at the Royal Academy.
This made Thomas feel deeply jealous again.
After all, although he is already a visiting professor, he does not have many outstanding research and papers. If this paper was written by him, it would definitely bring his fame to an unprecedented level!
For a moment, this thought was like a poisonous snake, entrenched in his mind.
Unfortunately, after looking at the previous letter, Thomas smiled bitterly again: "No..."
The other party has become famous, and there is more than one "reviewer" himself. If you publish it first, those letters are the best proof.
Of course, if it were just this, Thomas would be confident that he could keep suppressing himself.
After all, how can a nouveau riche fight with his own relationship? If the other party is not tactful, he can completely ruin the other party.
However, this time, the paper given by Donald is only half!!!
This is very deadly and is enough to dispel all covetousness.
"Donald? Let him meet me! This paper is well written, but some of the wording and professional terms still need to be modified..."
Thomas thought about it and immediately made a decision.
Even if you can't become the first author, it's good to be able to take the position of the second author.
At this moment, he became very interested in the legendary nouveau riche.
After all, a sailor who has been running through the sea for many years can actually write such a masterpiece of economics. It is abnormal no matter how you look at it!
What he didn't know was.
To be continued...
