Chapter 833 Famous

In Fang Yuan's previous life, he had a very famous book "The Wealth of Nations", claiming to be the pioneer of modern economics, which had a profound impact on the development of capitalism.

Although due to some historical limitations, the control of an "invisible hand" was overemphasized, but people are not sages. Just at that time, the author of the book suddenly became a man of the hour in economics and won many awards. Capitalists respect.

According to Fang Yuan’s investigation during this period, although Insman has entered the era of great voyages and steam power has also been put into use, the thinking of the upper echelons is still in a period of confusion. There is no doubt that this is Donald's chance.

As for how this masterpiece came about?

In his previous life, he had read it once.

Of course, it’s the kind of people who just skim through it and forget it after seeing it, but don’t forget that Fang Yuan is a dream master!

Ever since becoming a dream master, he has been able to mobilize his own memory at will and unlock many dust-laden treasures. Even if it was only a glimpse back then, it is still vivid in his memory now, without missing a word.

It would be an idiot to retell it purely, but after some deletions and revisions, it will definitely be more suitable for this era.

With this, it is absolutely possible to make Donald an instant hit.

"As you order, my lord, it's just..."

A trace of doubt appeared on Donald's face: "I was only an apprentice for a period of time before I learned the skills of reading and writing...I'm afraid no one will believe me!"

He has a deep understanding of the contempt of those upper class.

"It's very simple. You can say that you learned it by yourself, because you like to read books about economics in your spare time... If it doesn't work, you can just say it's divine revelation!"

Fang Yuan's mouth curved slightly.

Even if someone finds the trick, so what?

In other words, Donald himself is a huge flaw. Such a strong contrast is to attract attention and divert them to the issue of belief!

Anyway, the Lord of Dream Soldiers is not some kind of evil god.

He even mastered a lot of advanced knowledge and mysterious rituals that allow people to gain power. As long as people understand it deeply, they will probably be shaken.

At this time, Fang Yuan was struggling, whether or not to get involved in the field of steam machinery and economy?

In this era of great voyages and industrial revolutions, these two fields seem to be more valuable than dreams and weapons.

...

Another beautiful morning.

Thomas was in pajamas, eating breakfast leisurely.

On the white tablecloth, there are bacon, fried eggs, bread, cheese, and the freshest fruit.

Beside him, a housekeeper was carefully ironing newspapers for him.

After he finished eating, he sipped his coffee leisurely while flipping through the news that had no ink on his hands.

"The Spice Islands have been hit by a storm. This year's production has been greatly reduced, and the price of spices may rise even further!"

"The plantation on the coast of Pointe-Noire was attacked by the natives, causing heavy casualties!"

"A huge silver mine was discovered on a big island somewhere in the Nightmare Sea... This is really good news!"

...

Thomas is a Sir and is currently employed by Viscount Floren as an advisor.

As the lowest rank of nobles, it is not difficult to say that they serve the superior nobles and get paid.

However, what Thomas is most proud of is not his identity and position, but that he is still a scholar! Scholars who study economics!

This is not self-proclaimed, but a reputation that has gradually accumulated. Even the Royal Insman Academy hired him as a lifelong visiting professor at the School of Economics.

Such an honor, of course, made him a favorite at high-end gatherings, and some high-end cultural salons would immediately become less attractive without his presence.

Of course, Thomas also has his own arrogance. When he gets old, his energy gradually becomes exhausted, and he rarely participates in those non-professional salons and parties.

"Okay, my housekeeper, what's my schedule today?"

Taking the last sip of coffee in his mouth, Thomas asked slowly, reminiscing about the first bitterness and then sweetness.

"You need to attend the opening ceremony of a shipyard today, and Madam Du Lisa has sent you three invitations..."

The housekeeper is meticulous and authentic.

"Dulisa... that enthusiastic little girl!"

Thomas murmured, like a child who stole candy, reminiscing about the sweetness of the past: "If only I were thirty years younger..."

"Also, you received a letter from Donald!"

The butler said at last.

"Donald..."

Thomas was a little puzzled, and immediately tapped himself on the head: "I remember... that lucky little guy?"

It was indeed very lucky to be able to survive the encounter with pirates and make a fortune. His entire impression of Donald ended there.

"Yes!"

The housekeeper took out a thick letter: "The letter paper has been checked, there is no problem!"

Hearing this, Thomas pulled out the letter paper.

Inside was a letter and a stack of manuscripts.

"draft?"

Thomas looked at the letter paper in a daze. On it, Thomas greeted him with a humble attitude, and said that he had read some economics books recently and had some insights, so he wrote something specially and asked him to correct him.

"Oh? Is this goddess joking with me? A sailor, told me he wrote an economics paper?"

Thomas muttered straight away, his eyes full of contempt: "Throw it away... a clown who wants to squeeze into the upper class, wants to be famous and wants to go crazy?"

"Obey!"

The butler was about to step forward when he suddenly saw Thomas wave his hand again: "Wait a minute..."

On the back of the letter, Donald directly admitted that he not only sent the draft to Thomas, but also several other famous scholars, and even the Royal Academy and newspaper publishers, expressly intending to promote it at all costs.

If an upstart spends money, there will be some effect after all.

Therefore, Thomas pondered for a while, and still picked up the manuscript: "Research on the nature and causes of national wealth? Such a big topic, hehe..."

He looked down, and after a few minutes, his face became a little dignified.

"...the egoism of human beings in economic life is the prerequisite for the study of market economy..."

"Rely on the 'invisible' hand of the market to manage the economy..."

...

The more he looked, the brighter Thomas' eyes became, and even the palms of his hands began to tremble slightly: "This...impossible...how can a sailor write such a thing?"

This thesis really brought out some hazy expositions and some uncertain viewpoints in his mind, which gave him a refreshing feeling.

"Donald?"

After reading it three times, Thomas, who had completely forgotten about the opening ceremony and Mrs. Du Lisa, began to think carefully about Donald.

"It's really... a pity..."

After a long time, he sighed.

From his perspective, he can certainly see what kind of earthquake this article will cause in the field of economics research.

To put it bluntly, praise and fame will follow, and the author himself will definitely become famous.

Even the title of professor of the Royal Academy is enough.

This made Thomas feel deeply jealous again.

After all, although he is already a visiting professor, he doesn't have many researches and papers that can be produced. If this paper is written by him, it will definitely raise his reputation to an unprecedented level!

For a moment, this thought was like a poisonous snake, entrenched in his mind.

Unfortunately, after looking at the previous letterhead, Thomas smiled wryly again: "No way..."

The other party has already claimed that he is not the only 'reviewer', and if he publishes it first, those letterheads are the best proof.

Of course, if it's just this point, Thomas is confident that he can hold it down.

After all, how can an upstart fight against his own relationship? If the other party is not knowledgeable, it can completely ruin the other party's reputation.

However, the thesis given by that Donald this time is only half! ! !

This is terrible, enough to dispel all coveting.

"Donald? Let him meet me! This paper is well written, but some wording and technical terms need to be revised..."

Thomas thought about it, and immediately made a decision.

Even if you can't become the first author, it is good to be able to take the position of the second author.

At this time, he has developed a strong interest in the legendary upstart.

After all, it is not normal for a sailor who has been in the sea all year round to be able to write such a masterpiece of economics!

What he doesn't know is.

This scene was staged one after another in the homes of Insman's well-known scholars and in the Royal Academy.

For a while, Donald's name became popular.

"My lord..."

Thomas, who was originally ignored by the real nobles, looked bitterly at the banquet invitations one after another.

These are really high society invitations, the equivalent of being accepted into the circle.

But he was really at his wits end.

Besides, he was terribly frightened.

After all, Donald knew his details clearly, so there was nothing wrong with asking him to calculate the voyage route and record the voyage log.

But when it comes to economic terms, or even complex models, he will be blinded 90% of the time.

"Don't worry, my agent, what you need to do at this time is to keep making yourself famous!"

Ever since "The Wealth of Nations" was published, Fang Yuan had a strange feeling.

A certain general trend was affected by him, and even began to spread to the surroundings.

Originally, Donald's fate would not have any twists and turns.

But this time it caused a sensation all over the country, and immediately caused some undercurrents.

However, he himself is a Transcendent, so he won't have any problems dealing with it, and it might even be an opportunity.
