Readers who have two different attitudes about "Things in the Ming Dynasty" start a debate with newspapers and the Internet.

In newspapers, some experts and scholars criticized "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" as not a rigorous historical fact, with the author's personal views and preferences, and some details are subjective. Some less rigorous views in the book will make readers vague judgments about history. Because traditional newspapers are more conservative, they have a large proportion of those who have a negative attitude towards "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty". Therefore, in newspapers, experts and scholars who criticize "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" have some advantages.

However, on the Internet, experts who have a critical view of "Things in the Ming Dynasty" were defeated because the Internet is the position of young people. In addition, because of some things, young people subconsciously disgusted with the so-called experts. Of course, most experts are real talents, but a small number of experts, for a certain purpose, become spokespersons for certain interests and publish some distortions, which have been expanded by media hype, corrupted the social atmosphere and caused many young people to have little favorable feelings for experts.

On the Internet, most young people have a positive attitude towards "What Things in the Ming Dynasty".

Chen Dong opened the Tianya Forum and saw some comments from netizens.

"Some experts like to be serious. "Things in the Ming Dynasty" is not a history book. The author just uses a humorous and witty online language to tell readers the historical stories of the Ming Dynasty for more than 300 years. The characters, the things in the Ming Dynasty written by the author, are just a living life story. It's great. If you have to criticize this, then do you want to grab someone's neck, then swear someone's saliva, and then scold you for what he/she is writing? Is this interesting?" A netizen named Ant Bite Bites commented.

"It cannot be denied that "Things in the Ming Dynasty" has the author's personal views and preferences, and some details are subjectively processed. However, this book basically conforms to the historical context. It is based on historical materials and uses humorous and humorous brushwork to write historical figures alive. It is interesting and funny. Readers love to read it. While reading, they learned a lot of historical knowledge allusions, such as the system of the Ming Dynasty, the naming rules of the Yuan Dynasty, etc.." A netizen named Ai Tiger Oil commented.

"Reading history can save yourself, and reading history can make you realize your ambitions. The book "Things of the Ming Dynasty" is a purely grassroots work that can inspire readers to have the interest of the five thousand years of history and culture of the Chinese nation. In the process of reading history, we should pay attention to the style of the sages and understand the principles of the sages, and have positive significance for young people."

"The Things in the Ming Dynasty" is not as heavy and boring as historical books. Readers who have read "The Things in the Ming Dynasty" find it interesting and funny to read it. It is these points that will attract readers to read it, gain knowledge, understand allusions and understand the truth through reading."

....

In newspapers and a book on the Internet, a fierce debate was triggered. In Chen Dong's opinion, the reason is used to argue. The more you debate, the clearer it becomes. It is not that you are an expert and what you say must make sense, and others will listen to you.

As long as it was not because of this fierce debate on the Internet, the fierce debate on the Internet caused the intervention of the Ministry of Culture, this is a good thing. This is a disguised publicity of "Things in the Ming Dynasty". As the two sides escalated in newspapers and online debates, more and more people know that there is such a book, and everyone is curious. I have never been to books written in humorous style before. I am really as interesting and funny as I said? So I went to the bookstore and paid for "Things in the Ming Dynasty".

Chen Dong knew that in the original time and space, "What Things in the Ming Dynasty" was jointly released by the "Guidelines for Reading Action for Middle School Students" jointly published by the Chinese Language Teaching Professional Committee of the Chinese Society of Education, the Institute of Chinese Language Education of Yanjing University, the Yanjing Language University, China Education Daily, and Commercial Press to advocate the "Recommended Bibliography" of the main body of "reading for China" as a recommendation for historical books.

This shows that the country has a positive attitude towards "Things in the Ming Dynasty".

Chen Dong closed the web page and called Du Wenhai.

"Editor Du, I just searched on Baidu. Zhang Liangyu criticized "Those Things of the Ming Dynasty" in the newspaper and triggered the debate on the Internet. This is a good thing. It is equivalent to disguised publicity of "Those Things of the Ming Dynasty". Could it be that your Yangtze Publishing House promotes it?"

On the side of the phone, Du Wenhai laughed, "No, I don't know that Zhang Liangyu came out from there, but we still have to thank Zhang Liangyu for his sales of "Things in the Ming Dynasty" exceeding 400,000 copies, and this person made an indelible contribution."

Chen Dong didn't care about these things. Anyway, the publicity was about Changjiang Publishing House. In order to make money, Changjiang Publishing House would definitely be busy with publicity. The fierce debate caused by Zhang Liangyu was much better than making a few advertisements, and it was free. Du Wenhai would definitely be so happy that he couldn't find the North.

Chen asked Du Wenhai, "Is there anything wrong with Editor-in-Chief Du just called me?"

Du Wenhai said, "The Things in the Ming Dynasty are selling very well. We are taking advantage of the hot iron. Our publishing house plans to hold a novel signature book sales event. I would like to ask you to cooperate in this event, and there is also a press conference."

"Okay, when and where." Chen Dong agreed.

The share of the high manuscript fee of 15/100 is not for nothing. When signing the contract, it was stipulated that Chen Dong was obliged to cooperate with the publishing house's publicity. Chen Dong was also willing to participate in this signature book sales event, which would make Chen Dong famous in the book publishing industry. Before, he was not very famous in the book publishing industry. Even if Du Wenhai was optimistic about this book, he could only get 7/100. Later, the first part of "Things in the Ming Dynasty" sold 10,000 in three days without publicity. At the second negotiation, the share of the manuscript fee of "Things in the Ming Dynasty" was increased to 15/100.

Moreover, if the books are sold more, he will also get more. One book is sold for 30 yuan, and the first one he will get 7/100 is 2 yuan.

"Tomorrow at 8 o'clock, Dinghai City Bowen Bookstore."

"Okay, I will arrive on time tomorrow."

Next, Chen Dong chatted with Du Wenhai for a few words and then hung up the phone.

The next day, Chen Dong got up early in the morning and took a taxi to the Bowen Bookstore. He looked at the time. At 7:20, many readers were already waiting in the square in front of the Bowen Bookstore with a book in their hands.

At the door of Bowen Bookstore, there was a huge banner hanging, with the banner saying "Celebrating "Things of the Ming Dynasty" selling more than 420,000 copies in a month.

Invite the novel author, the Citizen, to come to sign and sell books for readers.’
