As the sales of "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" continued to rise, Zhou Xuan's pen name "Zhou Zixuan" was gradually mentioned, and it was well-known to the public with lightning speed.

Jiangnan, Zhongzhou Publishing House, Editor-in-Chief's Office.

Yang Lun, the editor-in-chief in his fifties, was making a pot of tea and reading the sales briefing of the February issue of Fiction Monthly.

The monthly novel, once a month, was officially sent to major book and magazine stores across the country on the 31st of the previous month, and then began a long month-long sale.

The sales of monthly novels are relatively stable, with monthly sales of about 34 to 370,000 copies, and among the monthly magazines in the same period in the country, they can only be about ten.

The first few days of the month are the peak sales of monthly novels, which can usually sell 250,000 or 600,000 copies in the first five days, and slowly sell about 100,000 copies in the remaining half of the month.

However, this month's sales are a little different, which makes Yang Lun happy and strange.

"Hey, it's more than 300,000 copies, and it's an unbelievable 330,000 copies? Looking at the briefing sent below, Yang Lun couldn't believe it.

It's only been five days of sales, and Yang Lun subconsciously feels a little abnormal.

Yang Lun's article in February knows that it is all decent, and there are not too many bright spots, how can it improve so much?

Could it be that the following people are wrong in their statistics? The more Yang Lun thinks about it, the more likely he is to be familiar with this reason.

Since he couldn't figure it out, Yang Lun immediately made a call: "Hey, Lao Chen, have you read the briefing of this month's novel monthly?"

"What? You haven't seen it yet! What's going on below, even the sales count is wrong. Although the briefing of the previous few days can be summarized, it should not be so careless. Is it that you don't work seriously when you come back from the New Year, this attitude is unacceptable. As the editor-in-chief, Yang Lun has always required employees to be serious and meticulous in their work, so they are more attentive when they encounter such things.

"Okay! I'm waiting for your news, I must deal with it seriously, and I must criticize it by name as a typical New Year's memory!"

After making the call, Yang Lun stopped working and waited quietly. He believed that in less than ten minutes, Lao Chen would definitely call him.

A few minutes later, Lao Chen's reply really came. For Lao Chen's speed, Yang Lun is very satisfied. I didn't expect to investigate the matter in a few minutes.

He wanted to see that the employee below was so irresponsible, and the data was so bad.

"What! There is no statistical error!" But things were much beyond Yang Lun's expectations, and the sales data was actually not wrong at all.

However, Lao Chen over there seemed to be a little angry, and did not directly tell Yang Lun the specific reason. But he sold a pass, and instead let him read yesterday's South China Evening News.

"This old Chen, hang it up for me!" Yang Lun is now even more curious, what is the reason for the sharp increase in the sales of the novel monthly?

finally found yesterday's South China Evening News, and Yang Lun couldn't wait to turn to the first page.

"The people of the whole country welcome the Spring Festival, and the flavors of the New Year are collected from all over the country", this is definitely not, Yang Lun quickly turned to the second edition.

"A big dark horse in the Spring Festival book market_ entered the industry in half a year, and the first novel broke the ...... of sales in a week"

Hey, is this it? Yang Lun couldn't help but look at it.

"In the Spring Festival book market, "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" has just been on the market for a week, but it has created a sales miracle. It sold more than 12,000 copies on the first day and more than 25,000 copies the next day, even if everyone was busy with the Chinese New Year's Eve, 21,000 copies were sold.

The next few days were even more out of control, and those things in the Ming Dynasty galloped through the entire Spring Festival book market like a dark horse. Yesterday's sales reached a staggering 76,000 copies, and the cumulative sales for a week reached 290,000 copies.

The Xiling Publishing House, the publishing house of those things in the Ming Dynasty, reprinted 600,000 copies again after the first 100,000 copies and 300,000 copies.

The total number of copies printed in the Ming Dynasty reached a staggering 1 million copies, setting a new record for the number of new books printed in a month.

With the hot sales of the Ming Dynasty, its reputation has also risen significantly, and many readers say that they have never seen such a good-looking historical novel.

As the author of "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty", Zhou Zixuan, after we found out, he is not any writer we were familiar with before.

The first time the pen name Zhou Zixuan published a book was in the magazine "Science Fiction World" "Resurrection". Its science fiction novels are ingeniously conceived and unbridled imagination has attracted the love of a large number of science fiction readers.

We also found that Zhou Zixuan's romance novel "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree" has also been published in the "Novel Monthly" since January, and its delicate writing and special descriptions of that era have attracted many post-60s readers.

Moreover, it was found that in the past two or three months, Zhou Zixuan has published many articles in newspapers and magazines across the country, including novels and essays, involving science fiction, romance, martial arts, history and other categories.

A writer is so prolific, and he also exaggerates multiple aspects. Everyone is very curious, who is this Zhou Zixuan?"

Seeing this, Yang Lun finally knew why the novel monthly magazine was so popular, it turned out to be because of those things in the Ming Dynasty.

Seeing that those things in the Ming Dynasty were selling so well, Yang Lun couldn't help but regret that he didn't sign the book in the first place.

With sales close to 300,000 a week, it's been a long time since I've seen a book with such potential.

Seeing that the novel written by Zhou Zixuan was so popular, and the sales of their magazine increased greatly because of the serialization of "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree", Yang Lun immediately thought of the publication of the Love of the Hawthorn Tree, so he picked up the statistical briefing of the newspaper and the monthly novel and walked into the president's office.

However, the storm caused by Zhou Xuan is far from being reported by the South China Evening News and a newspaper report.

The day after the South China Evening News reported it, that is, on the first day of work on February 6, a number of Chinese newspapers reprinted the South China Evening News's report on those events in the Ming Dynasty.

The Xincheng Express, located in Rongcheng, also published an article entitled "Come and see, history can be written so beautifully", detailing the readability and hot sales of those things in the Ming Dynasty.

Even one of the earliest campus BBS in China, the Shuimu Nianhua Forum, there are also people who have posted a post introducing "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty", which was refined by the moderator, and more than 500 people followed the post in a few days, and 90% of them said that the dynasty is very worth buying.

And because Zhou Xuan has submitted manuscripts to many newspapers and magazines, it is difficult to avoid the leakage of Zhou Xuan's address. However, everyone only knows that Zhou Zixuan is in NC County, Rongzhou City, S Province, but they don't know what the specific address is and who is whom.

That is, on the first day of work after the holiday, Zhou Xuan received several phone calls, and the publishing houses that had originally simulated and published Zhou Xuan's "Spring Breeze Ten Miles is Not as Good as You" changed their words, hoping to publish Zhou Xuan's novel.

And the love of the hawthorn tree that is being serialized is also taken by many publishing houses, including Zhongzhou Publishing House, which is serializing the love of the hawthorn tree.

However, just when Zhou Xuan was thinking about how to publish "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree" and "The Spring Breeze Ten Miles is Not as Good as You", Wei Xiyue called and told Zhou Xuan that the difficulties of the historians who had been worried about him had finally come.
