The next day, February 9, Jiang Yun and the others were about to leave Rongzhou. Zhou Xuan went to Xinhua Bookstore early in the morning to buy a few copies of "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty", signed it by himself, and then went to the hotel.

"Three eldest brothers, this is "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" written by me as my younger brother, with my dear signature on it. I wish you all a smooth journey back and a bright future. Zhou Xuan handed over the novel and said with a smile.

"Oh, that's good! I must keep this well, it will be worth a lot in a few decades." Deng Cheng picked up the Ming Dynasty, flipped through it, and joked lovingly.

"Xuanzi, you have a heart. You can come to Rongcheng as soon as possible, and Deng Cheng and I will definitely entertain you well. Wang Ximing, who has always been deep and doesn't talk much, also said happily.

Zhou Xuan said: "Brother Wang, don't worry, I will go in two days, and I will definitely call you in advance when the time comes." I still have to go to Rongcheng to do the registration of the Internet café management software company. ”

"Yes, good. Call ahead when the time comes, and we'll pick you up at the station. Hearing that Zhou Xuan would go to Rongcheng in two days, Deng Cheng said happily, "But you can hurry up, if it is after fifteen, I will start school." ”

"Zhou Xuan, after I return to the imperial capital, I will probably go to Xiangjiang. This is the last semester, and I will return to work in the imperial capital in the second half of the year. I said you three, why don't you come over and have a fun while I'm still in Xiangjiang. Jiang Yun looked at the three of them and said.

"Okay, I've wanted to go to Xiangjiang for a long time. Deng Cheng shouted.

"I can only look at the situation here, and you know that I can't take a leave of absence for this job. "Wang Ximing works in the system, and it is really difficult to ask for leave.

"I can do it at any time here, and there is no problem at all in the high school entrance examination. "Zhou Xuan is a scholar, and the high school entrance examination is not a matter at all. He still really wants to go to Xiangjiang, and there are some things that need to be prepared in advance by going to Xiangjiang.

"Okay, then that's it, contact when the time comes. Why are we in touch often, especially Zhou Xuan, is there anything that can't be solved, you must call us?"

Facing Jiang Yun's advice, Zhou Xuan was very moved: "Okay, Brother Jiang." ”

Watching Jiang Yun and the others drive away, Zhou Xuan also went back with confidence.

In the past few days, I have been very annoyed by the matter of publishing, but now that it has been resolved, Zhou Xuan is also very happy.

Now Zhou Xuan is waiting for the manuscript fee to enter the pocket, and then immediately starts the plan of the supermarket chain. Zhou Xuan looked at Rongcheng to the north, which would be the starting point of his career.

With the departure of Jiang Yun and the others, the turmoil in the Ming Dynasty a few days ago took a big turn.

This morning, to everyone's surprise, several newspapers that had criticized and criticized "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" had died down and reported on other irrelevant matters.

For example, the supplements of "Northern Literature and Art Daily" and "Imperial Capital Evening News" have changed to other topics, and everyone can't find any information about the Ming Dynasty on all pages.

Two days ago, the articles of the Northern Literature and Art Newspaper were reprinted, and the newspapers that were waving their flags and shouting behind the Literature and Art Newspaper and the Imperial Capital Evening News also changed their doors and began to report how many copies the Ming Dynasty sold yesterday, how many copies were sold in total, and what records were created.

Three changes in a few days, the speed of change is like a girl's mind, one day at a time, people can't guess, just like the change of face in Sichuan opera, the change is particularly abrupt.

No matter what everyone is speculating, what can be imagined is that some of those newspaper leaders have black faces: There is an order from above, if you don't change it, you can't do it, do you think I want to change every day?

And today, more heavyweight scholars published articles in public support for "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty", which surprised everyone even more.

Yu Changlin, a well-known historian and professor at Yenching University, and a doctoral supervisor, published an article in the Yenjing Daily, openly praising "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty". It is pointed out that this historical novel, with vivid sentences and a story-like tone, reproduces the magnificence of the Ming Dynasty for hundreds of years from a unique angle.

It makes the history that is originally serious and difficult to understand vivid and interesting, and makes it easier for the general public to get in touch with history and like the history of the Ming Dynasty. This is an innovation in historical fiction that allows more people to understand history, so this way of writing is worthy of recognition.

As soon as this article came out, the newspapers that smeared the Ming Dynasty a few days ago collectively lost their voices, and more newspapers and magazines turned their heads to make greater reports on "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty", so that the Ming Dynasty was known by the people of the whole country.

"Wow, those things in the Ming Dynasty were so powerful, they sold 300,000 copies in one week, breaking the first-week sales record more than ten years ago. ”

"Two days ago, so many newspapers explained how the DPRK was not good-looking and distorted history, and I thought that these sales were all fake. Does that seem like a real thing now?"

"It must be true. Let me tell you, in fact, many people have bought this book to read it, and those who read it have recommended it to their friends. Then I went to buy it, and I couldn't stop it. I recommend you to buy it too, it's really good-looking. As for the slander of those newspapers two days ago, it must have been a means to see that the Ming Dynasty was a big seller, and then smeared it. But the eyes of the masses were bright, and now they saw that they couldn't hold it down, so they died down. ”

"Hey, what you said seems to have some point. ”

"Let's go for a walk, let's hurry up and go to the bookstore, the Ming Dynasty is so popular, maybe it will be gone if you go late." ”

"Yes, yes, Xiao Chen said he wanted one too. ”

"Good. We've all brought them five, and now it's six. ”

In many bookstores across the country, the Ming Dynasty was not only placed in the most conspicuous position on the new book display table, but also many bookstores also made large posters and placed them at the door.

As long as you pass by the door of the bookstore, you can see the propaganda posters of those things in the Ming Dynasty at a glance. And with the newspaper report, they all became curious about the Ming Dynasty and went into the bookstore to buy a copy.

Under such a propaganda offensive, the sales of the Ming Dynasty became higher and higher. Before noon, many bookstores with low stock had already sold out, and they hurriedly called the distributor to send some over.

Rongcheng Xiling Publishing House, President's Office.

Wei Xiyue sighed and said regretfully: "Today's Ming Dynasty is selling like crazy, and many bookstores are out of stock. It's a pity that the next volume doesn't belong to our publishing house, and I really regret it. ”

The president looked at Wei Xiyue and patted him on the shoulder: "It's not your fault, and you didn't decide the decision the night before yesterday alone." Don't worry, you've worked for the publishing house for so many years, I don't think anyone dares to make irresponsible comments. ”

"Well, thank you, President. Who would have thought that Zhou Zixuan's relationship was so powerful, so we didn't have a way. Hearing the president's assurance, Wei Xiyue finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The president frowned, and said a little lonely: "Hey, it's a pity that this is a good opportunity." Since this is already the case, let's continue to promote it, and I hope we can earn a little more money in the first book. As for Zhou Zixuan's side, we still need to try to make up for it, and we should give it as soon as possible, and strive to leave a good impression. He is only 16 years old, and it is not certain how many things he will be able to write in the future? ”

"Well, that's all there is to it. ”

Wei Xiyue knew that the Ming Dynasty had soared into the sky, but now it no longer belonged to Xiling and did not belong to him.
