With the first manuscript of "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" in his hand, he will go to a publishing house to publish it.

There are many publishing houses in the empire, for example, each university has an affiliated publishing house, such as Dinghai University, but the two publishing houses with the most extensive influence in the country, the Great Wall Publishing House and the Yellow River Publishing House.

Chen Dong found the addresses of these two publishing houses on the Internet, and submitted the first manuscript of those things in the Ming Dynasty according to these addresses, and the next thing is to wait.

－－－－－

Dinghai Branch of Yellow River Publishing House.

The editor-in-chief of the branch was named Zhang Liangyu, wearing reading glasses, gray hair, and slapped the manuscript on the table in his hand, and said angrily, "What is this, is history written like this?" . ”

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

Du Wenhai, editor of the Dinghai branch of the Great Wall Publishing House, swiped his card to work on time as usual, said hello to his passing colleagues with a smile, came to his office, sat down, soaked a cup of leaves, and put it in front of the computer desk.

His job is to review manuscripts and use his professional eye to pick out books that will bring profit to the publishing house.

"Cool Drag Bully!"

Seeing this inexplicable and wonderful title, Du Wenhai frowned, and subconsciously classified this as a garbage book in his heart, but as an editor, he can't generalize, let's look at the content first, and then talk about it, if the content is attractive, the author can be advised to change the title when it is published.

After 10 minutes, Du Wenhai determined that this was a worthless book, the most basic sentences did not make sense, there was no main line, it was deep and difficult to understand, and the most annoying thing was to deliberately write a bunch of inexplicable and wonderful gorgeous words to modify the content.

He has read a lot of manuscripts like this, and he receives a lot of them every day, and it is difficult for him to understand, let alone show them to readers.

Throw this manuscript aside and put it in the category of worthless.

"Is it really that hard to find a good book?"

His definition of a good book is that the author is not required to have excellent writing, of course, good writing is the best, secondly, it should read smoothly, and it should not deliberately add some flashy and unreal words that make people understand deep and difficult to understand, third, there must be a main line, not from the east to the west, and the reader cannot be left without knowing what you are writing after reading it for a long time, and fourth, it must be readable, and readable is to be interesting first, and the content must not be empty and tasteless.

If he can do these four things, Wuying is a good book, and "Cool Crazy Bully" didn't do it at all, and he directly classified it into a worthless category, and then read the second one.

"Those things in the Ming Dynasty."

"Interesting, in fact, there are many things to write about in the Ming Dynasty, such as the extremely powerful eunuchs, the combative civil officials, the interesting imperial examinations, Zheng He's trip to the West, and the carpenter Huang Yanjing is very interesting."

Let's start with a dossier.

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

Surname: Male

Ethnicity: Han

……

For example, the wind, the rain, the aroma, the stars in the sky, the red light everywhere, anyway, I want to tell you that this person is different from others. Mr. Zhu Yuanzhang is no exception, when he was born, the red light was all over the ground, and there was a strange light in the house at night, so that the neighbors thought there was a fire and ran to rescue him (Ming Shilu)

"It's interesting that history can be written like this." When Du Wenhai saw this, he couldn't help but praise.

Then look down.

A month after Xiao Zhu Wusi was born, his parents gave him a name (Yuan Shi convention): Zhu Chongba, this name can also be called Zhu Baba, let's introduce it here, the names of Zhu Chongba's family are very distinctive.

Zhu Chong's eight ancestors name: Zhu Bailiu;

Zhu Chong's eighth great-grandfather's name: Zhu Sijiu;

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

We introduced his father, named Zhu Wusi.

The name is not because the Zhu family is engaged in mathematics, but because in the Yuan Dynasty, if the common people could not go to school and become officials, they would not have a name, and they could only be named after the age of their parents or the date of birth. (Those who register for an account will be dazzled)

"Haha!"

Seeing this, Du Wenhai couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"It's so interesting, it's interesting, it's historical, and it lets the reader know about that history when they read the book.

As soon as the reader reads this paragraph, he will know that in the original Yuan Dynasty, if the common people could not go to school and become officials, they would not have names, and could only be named after the age of their parents or the date of birth.

If you understand this, you will know why there are so many characters in the Yuan Weiqi/Righteous Army who use numbers as their names, such as Zhang Jiusi, Zhang Jiusi is Zhang Shicheng, and Zhu Chongba is Zhu Yuanzhang.

Du Wenhai read the things of the Ming Dynasty in one breath, his face was still unfinished, and it could be seen that the manuscript in his hand was only a small part, that is, he wrote about the things of the Ming Dynasty, which must have included the establishment of the Ming Dynasty in 1368 to the fall of the Ming Dynasty in 1644.

"Interesting, it turns out that history can be written like this."

He had a hunch that this book would be popular, and now the key is how to sign it, it seems that the only way to do it is to go out in person, he looked at the mailing address on the envelope.

Dinghai City, Dinghai University.

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

On the table, there is a pot of fragrant Longjing tea, and two steaming soup dumplings.

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

"Please." Du Wenhai stretched out his hand to signal.

Du Wenhai poured himself down, looked at Chen Dong and said, "I'm curious, what kind of person would write such interesting historical facts." ”

Chen Dong smiled, took a sip of the cup, and said, "An ordinary college student, who loves history, usually likes to read some history books, I am thinking while reading, why write history so heavy and boring, so that most ordinary people don't like to read it, why not change the way of writing, with a network language, humorous style to present the history of the Ming Dynasty for more than 300 years in front of the readers, I believe that readers love to read, and can also understand the history of the Ming Dynasty." ”

Du Wenhai put a soup bag into his mouth, smiled and nodded, "Yes, it's really interesting, I didn't know that history can be written like this until today, I want to know, how many articles are there in this book, and whether it has been completed." ”
