Good word-of-mouth is obviously more effective in promoting the work, and it is said that the gold and silver cups are not as good as the people's reputation, and now it seems that "Wanli Fifteen Years" is very appetizing to readers.

"History is fascinating, the history of the past can also be used as a reference for today, all history is contemporary history, and learning historical experience is very beneficial to life. ”

By March, Jiangcheng No. 2 Middle School had already started early, and these high school students had gone through the first semester of study, and they were now a little tired from the intense curriculum.

Fang Quanyu is a history teacher in the first (fifth) class of high school, and he is standing on the podium and talking eloquently.

"A classmate asked me to recommend a reading list for him, and I will definitely recommend a history book to him. If you don't look for your roots in the long river of history and find the court of culture, what are you doing with other books? It is safe to say that what is good is what has been precipitated over the years!"

There were more than fifty students sitting densely in the classroom, and this group of students began to fall drowsy under Fang Quanyu's hypnosis, and many of them staggered so much that they couldn't even sit up straight.

Chen Ou yawned, carefully dragged the phone out of the desk, and saw that there was no new message prompt before stuffing it in.

As a student who aspires to study science, he doesn't want to know anything about history!

On the podium, Fang Quanyu picked up the chalk and wrote a few big words on the blackboard, turned around and slammed the blackboard with a brush, and the loud sound made the students who were sleepy and distracted refocus their attention.

"If you want to ask me which one it is, I must first recommend "The Fifteenth Year of Wanli". Why this book? Does anyone know the answer? Has anyone heard or read this book?"

The history teacher's question reached the ears of everyone in the classroom, and I don't know who suddenly replied softly: "Because this is a book written by Zhang Chu, you are chanting his name every day." ”

In the silence of the classroom, everyone could hear clearly.

Chen Ou couldn't help but laugh directly, this is simply to the point!

The teacher of this year's first year of high school is the teacher who taught Zhang Chu in the third year of high school last year, and it is not easy to teach a provincial champion among the students he taught.

Almost every teacher will unconsciously mention the name "Zhang Chu", if it is placed on the rest of the teachers, it is okay, but the students below know that Zhang Chu is a science student, and he did not take the history test in the college entrance examination at all, but Fang Quanyu boasted about it as Zhang Chu's history teacher.

It's fine if it's once or twice, but I have to say it every day for fear that others won't know, so it arouses the students' rebellious disgust.

The hall burst into laughter, many students even laughed breathlessly, and some whistled excitedly!

Fang Quanyu's whole face was stiff, and he was so angry that he couldn't do it, but there was no movement on the surface, he patted the podium and said loudly: "This is indeed Zhang Chu's work, but it is also a good book, and most of the teachers in our school who have read this book say that it is very good." Very delicate, both micro and macro. First of all, the year chosen by Zhang Chu is particularly interesting. ”

"In the fifteenth year of Wanli, nothing major has happened at all. But you can't ignore it. Because this year has assumed historical responsibility, it has the role of connecting the past and the next. I tell you very seriously, what seems unimportant is actually very important. What is the truth of this? It is to tell you that your cause will lead to the effect, and your effect will lead to the cause. No matter what you do, do everything well. ”

Fang Quanyu admires Zhang Chu's book very much, he is a student of history, and he knows better that these things are by no means written casually!

Even if there is almost no impression of Zhang Chu as a student in his memory, he did teach him before the division of arts and sciences, and maybe there is still his own credit in the formation process of this book.

Probably every teacher has the ability to talk nonsense in class, talking about things that have nothing to do with the content of the textbook for dozens of minutes.

"Ahem, it's time to get to the point. The great significance of this book is that it is never a dry history. Each character has his own personality traits, and he is alive, not dead. What an important thing this is!" Fang Quanyu couldn't help but raise his voice, "In the redundant history books, the images created by scholars and writers for historical figures are too blunt, just like in our history books, with only a few lines, either the world is capable of ruling the world, or the heroes of troubled times, the characters are not lively, and there is no sense of picture. ”

The students listened with relish, and the official complaints from the history teacher obviously made them feel a sense of empathy, history textbooks do have such shortcomings!

Fang Quanyu opened his mouth and asked, "Is it okay to shape the ancients like this?"

At this point, all the students replied almost in unison: "No!"

Originally, they were not interested in this type of book at all, and preferred works with taboo colors like "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", and many of them were loyal readers of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp".

"Not really. Reading "The Fifteenth Year of Wanli" feels different, for example, when writing Zhang Juzheng, a great generation, Zhang Juzheng is also flawed, and he is not perfect. Zhang Chu wrote about Qi Jiguang, who was promoted by Zhang Juzheng, Qi Jiguang was a good hand at fighting, but he was also criticized.

In today's online context, poverty limits our imagination. The poverty I speak of is the poverty of our minds, and we mistakenly believe that historical figures are yes. This is not right, it is precisely "The Fifteenth Year of Wanli" that can inspire people and make you feel alive.

The reason why I recommend this book to you today is very simple, so that you should not judge others one-sidedly, no one is perfect. It can only be said that whether it is right or wrong in a certain matter, the evaluator should consider it from many aspects!"

"Bang Bang Bang"

Almost every student in the classroom reached out and applauded, and they were all moved by this impassioned word!

Chen Ou grinned, and he whispered to his tablemates: "It seems that we can go to the bookstore at lunchtime, buy this book and take a look, it sounds really good." ”

"I know that all Zhang Chu's works are discounted on the side of Hanlin Xuan, just on the edge of Delong Plaza, not very far from here, do you want to go together?"

"Lao Chen, you can help me bring a copy. A beautiful girl in the front seat suddenly turned her head, "I'm going to help Mr. Huang read the winter vacation writer at noon." ”

Who knew that Chen Ou was unmoved in the face of the cute girl, but said coldly: "Yes, but you have to give me the running fee!"

Who should be single if this kind of person is not single?

……

In the Hanlinxuan bookstore, Zhang Bowen, the store manager, wandered around the bookstore when he was idle and had nothing to do, and the bookstore's business did not decline too much after the school started, but fluctuated relatively steadily.

On the middle bookshelf are all of Zhang Chu's works, from the first few issues of the time mystery magazine that serialized "Sherlock", to every physical book published!

Originally, these books were extremely best-sellers, and Han Linxuan also had a unique psychological position among Zhang Chu's fans for special reasons, so he didn't have to worry about not being able to sell at all.

However, during this period of time, Zhang Bowen knew that "The Fifteenth Year of Wanli" was hitting the top of the sales list, so he resolutely put this new book in the special discount area.

I'd rather make less money myself, and help my son sell a few more books, even if it's just a drop in the bucket.

If it weren't for the strict censorship, he would still want to fake it directly in the bookstore and help brush hundreds or thousands of books, anyway, now they are both masters who are not bad for money.

"I hope I can receive good news today, will the 75% discount be too high? If the 55% discount is too high, more people will buy it. ”

Zhang Bowen said to himself, and he walked briskly to his office, ready to check how the book was selling so far.

At this time, a group of middle school students with school bags rushed in like a gust of wind and ran to the conspicuous discount area to discuss loudly.

"Hahaha, it's really on sale, it's a lot cheaper than Xinhua Bookstore. ”

"Don't rub it off, hurry up and pay and leave, KFC will definitely be full of people later, so you have to go early." ”

"Is this book really good? Lao Fang boasted so badly that it turned out to be on sale, and I thought that the discounted books would not sell. But if you can save a few dollars, count as a few dollars!"

"I heard that this is a bookstore opened by Zhang Chu's family, it looks so big!"

Zhang Bowen on the side wanted to vomit blood when he heard it, and his way of making small profits and quick sales would be considered by people that he couldn't sell books, this question was too bad.

Fortunately, this group of high school students did not stay for long, and many of them not only took a copy of "The Fifteenth Year of Wanli", but also bought "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" and "Life of Pi".

After all, Jiangcheng is Zhang Chu's base camp, and many people here are willing to give the twenty yuan in order to support the potential writers in their hometown.

……

Zhang Chu, who is far away in Yanjing, is sitting on the sofa with matcha tea and watching a documentary on TV, the last season of "Earth Pulse" amazed the world, and now the second season is also wonderful.

The Douban evaluation of up to 9.9 points is obviously a bit exaggerated, but if Zhang Chu is asked to score, he will not hesitate to give a full five-star evaluation.

The BBC didn't waste money, the variety of islands, mountains, and jungles was eye-opening, and the matcha cat couldn't take their eyes off it.

"You need to hurry up and enjoy the heating time, the heating will be cut off tomorrow, what can I do then!"

Zhang Chu said softly, matcha is a pure natural hand warmer, and the palm of his hand is very warm on it.

Matcha also enjoyed the feeling of being touched, looking at the TV screen with her eyes open.

In the overcrowded green city of the jungle, space is very expensive, and friends and foes are forced to live next to each other, and these magical lives continue their way of life in the most overcrowded places on earth.

Although Zhang Chu was relatively busy during this time, he also had proper rest and mental relaxation, so as not to let him be tired and lie down, and it was also a process of learning and recharging.

When one person and one cat were fascinated, Zhang Chu's annoying mobile phone rang, and Matcha was very annoyed, so she directly slapped the phone off the sofa with one paw!

However, the bell did not stop, and shouted vigorously around the coffee table.

Zhang Chu pressed a pause on the remote control, he bent down to pick up the phone, and connected the call from Zhou Kang.

"Uncle Zhou, is the result of today's sales list out?"

Inside Menglong Culture Media Company, Zhou Kang stared at the various data on the computer in front of him, the smile on his face was almost overflowing, and he replied: "That's right, it's out." ”

"Listening to your tone, we must be the champion, right?" Zhang Chu guessed, if he didn't win the championship, he would definitely not be so happy to report the good news.

Zhou Kang replied very happily: "Yes, "The Fifteenth Year of Wanli" is the champion! It sold 510,000 copies in the first week, less than 30,000 copies more than the second place, which is too thrilling!"

This number is definitely inferior to the three-day record of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" breaking one million in three days, but compared with other academic works, it is too much exceeded.

After all, academic works pay attention to the long stream, and may not sell 500,000 copies a year, but now under the name of Zhang Chu's author, it has achieved a historic breakthrough.

Zhang Chu's hands clenched and relaxed, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, finally not insulting this classic work.

Just when he wanted to answer Zhou Kang, he found that his calf was scratched!

Matcha sat on the ground, looking up at Zhang Chu with a dissatisfied expression, and there was a remote control next to it.

"Matcha, what's wrong with you?"

Zhang Chu was very puzzled, why he was abused by the cat owner again.

After hearing the question from the shoveler, Matcha trotted to the TV in anger and meowed at the screen in dissatisfaction.

After being stunned for a while, Zhang Chu suddenly realized that the feeling was that this little guy was pressed a pause when he was enjoying watching TV!

He picked up the remote control, and after pressing play, the picture of the TV began to flow again, and at this time, Matcha also obediently squatted in front of the TV and looked up at the TV, and did not come over to continue to trouble Zhang Chu.

Zhang Chu is a little worried now, will the cat become short-sighted?

He decided to wait until the call was over and then search the internet, which would be hilarious if he had glasses for Matcha.

"Seriously, Nanhai Publishing Company itself can't believe that "Wanli Fifteen Years" won the championship, your editor was still comforting us before, who knew that it really won the championship. You know what? No academic work has been at the top since 2009, and you have done it!"

Zhang Chu said in surprise: "Wow, that's really remarkable." Hopefully, this isn't the only weekly champion of "Wanli Fifteen Years". ”

"Don't be a crow's mouth, I have good news for you, the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal have both announced the best-selling books of the previous week, and the book "Sherlock" has made the list in both of them!"
