He held the first manuscript of "What Things in the Ming Dynasty" in his hand, and then he went to the publisher to publish it.

There are so many publishers in the empire. For example, universities have affiliated publishers, such as Dinghai University has an affiliated publisher, but the country has the most influential Great Wall Publishing House and the Yellow River Publishing House.

Chen Dong found the addresses of the two publishing houses online, and according to these addresses, he submitted the first manuscript of the Ming Dynasty's affairs, and then waited.

－－－－－

Dinghai Branch of Yellow River Publishing House.

The editor-in-chief of the branch was Zhang Liangyu. She wore reading glasses and had white hair. She slapped the manuscript in her hand on the table and said angrily, "What's this thing? Is history written like this? It's a mess."

In his opinion, the author of this book has personal opinions and preferences. Some places are subjective and do not conform to the historical truth. Some of the less rigorous views in the book will make readers vague judgments about history and are not suitable for the public, especially teenagers, so this book cannot be published by the Yellow River Publishing House.

As usual, Du Wenhai, editor of the Dinghai Branch of Great Wall Publishing House, swiped his card to work on time, smiled and greeted his colleagues passing by, came to his office, sat down, soaked a cup of tea leaves, and placed it in front of the computer desk.

His job is to review manuscripts, and to use his professional perspective to select books that can bring profits to the publisher.

"Cool and crazy bully!"

Seeing this inexplicable and unsure of the title of the book, Du Wenhai frowned and subconsciously classified this as a garbage book in his heart. However, as an editor, you cannot generalize it in terms of partiality. Let’s take a look at the content first. If the content is attractive, the author can be advised to change the title when the title is published.

Ten minutes later, Du Wenhai determined that this was a worthless book. At least the sentences were not understood, there was no main line, and the literature was profound and difficult to understand. The most annoying thing was to deliberately write a bunch of inexplicable and gorgeous words to modify the content.

He read too many manuscripts like this and received a lot of them every day, which makes it difficult for him to understand, let alone read them for readers.

Throw this manuscript aside and put it into the valueless category.

“Is it really that difficult to find a good book?”

His definition of a good book is that it does not require the author to have excellent writing style. Of course, it is the best to have good writing style. Secondly, it should be smooth and should not deliberately add some flashy words that make people understand profound and difficult to understand. Third, it should have the main line, it should not be raised from the east or the west, and it should not let the readers read for a long time without knowing what you are writing. Fourth, it should be readable. Readable means that it should be interesting first, and the content should not be empty or tasteless.

If you can do these four things, Wuying is a good book, but he did not do anything at all, and he directly classified it into the worthless category. Let's read the second book.

"Those things in the Ming Dynasty."

"Interesting, in fact, there are many things to write about in the Ming Dynasty, such as the powerful eunuchs, the civil servants who love to fight, the interesting imperial examinations, Zheng He's voyage to the West, and the carpenter emperors are all very interesting."

Let's start with a file.

Name: Zhu Yuanzhang alias (nickname): Zhu Chongba, Zhu Guorui

Gender: Male

Nation: Han

...

For example, wind, heavy rain, fragrance, stars flash in the sky, red lights everywhere, I want to tell you that this person is different from others. Mr. Zhu Yuanzhang is no exception. When he was born, red lights were all over the ground, and strange lights appeared in the house at night, so that the neighbors thought that a fire had occurred and came to rescue him (Ming Shi Ji)

"It's interesting to write history like this." When Du Wenhai saw this, he couldn't help but praise.

Then read down.

One month after Xiao Zhu Wusi was born, his parents gave him a name (convention in the Yuan Dynasty): Zhu Chongba, which can also be called Zhu Baba. Let's introduce it here. The names of the Zhu Chongba family are very distinctive.

The name of Zhu Chongba’s great master: Zhu Bailiu;

The name of Zhu Chongba’s great-grandfather: Zhu Sijiu;

Zhu Chongba’s grandfather’s name: Zhu Chuyi;

We have introduced his father, and he is named Zhu Wusi.

This name is not because the Zhu family is engaged in mathematics, but because in the Yuan Dynasty, if the people were unable to go to school or become officials, they would have no names. They could only be named after the age of their parents or the date of birth. (People who register their household registration will definitely be dazzled)

"Ha ha!"

Seeing this, Du Wenhai couldn't help laughing loudly.

"It's so interesting, it's very interesting, and it's consistent with historical facts, and lets readers know that history when reading.

As soon as readers read this paragraph, they know that during the Yuan Dynasty, if ordinary people were unable to go to school or become officials, they would have no names, and they could only be named after their parents' age or date of birth.

Once you understand this, you will know why the Yuan Weiqi/Why are there so many people in the rebel army who use numbers as names, such as Zhang Jiusi, Zhang Jiusi is Zhang Shicheng, Zhu Chongba, and Zhu Yuanzhang.

Du Wenhai read the things about the Ming Dynasty in one breath, but his face was still unsatisfied. It could be seen that the manuscript in his hand was only a small part. Even if it was written about the things about the Ming Dynasty, it must include the things about the sixteen emperors from the establishment of the Ming Dynasty in 1368 to the demise of the Ming Dynasty in 1644. The manuscript in his hand wrote about Zhu Yuanzhang's founding of the country, Zhu Yunwen's reduction of the vassal state, and Zhu Di launched the Jingnan Rebellion.

"It's interesting, it turns out that history can be written like this."

He had a premonition that this book would be popular. The key is how to sign it out now. It seems that he can only do it himself. He looked at the mailing address on the envelope.

Dinghai City, Dinghai University.

The next day, Du Wenhai met Chen Dong in a restaurant at the entrance of Dinghai University.

On the table, there was a pot of Longjing tea with fragrant tea and two steaming hot soup buns.

After introducing himself, Du Wenhai poured Chen Dong a cup of Longjing tea.

"Please." Du Wenhai reached out to signal.

Du Wenhai gave himself a blow and looked at Chen Dong and said, "I'm very curious. Who wants to write historical facts so interesting."

Chen Dong smiled, picked up the cup and took a sip, and said, "A ordinary college student is a fan of history and likes to read some historical books. I was thinking while reading, why do we write history so heavily and boring? In this way, most ordinary people don't like to read, why don't we change the writing style and present the Ming Dynasty's more than 300-year history to readers in an online language and humorous style. I believe that readers love reading and can still understand the history of the Ming Dynasty."

Du Wenhai put a soup dumpling into his mouth and nodded with a smile, "No, it's really interesting. I only know that history can be written like this until today. I want to know how many chapters there are in this book and whether it has been completed."
