A little heartfelt word from the author
The book is written very casually, basically where you want to write it.
I should say that most of my books are in this genre, and if you have regular readers, you should have some impressions......
At the beginning of this book, I said in the comment section that I wanted to write about the world I envisioned.
A world dominated by Eastern culture and political logic.
The situation and influence of an Eastern court that has not been shattered by external forces to develop into the industrial age independently.
I tried to think about it in terms of "if this thing had started in the East" and what form it would have taken to show itself.
If the Easterners were the first to discover something, how would they describe it, such as armored fighting vehicles?
If the Oriental people had mastered a certain technique first, they would have used it for something, such as movies and audio recordings.
How do Oriental people think and respond to a change in society when faced with a thing?
For example, marriage tax avoidance and inheritance tax and gift tax, such as the indoctrination and treatment of indigenous people, etc.
For example, for the monarchy and the constitution and foreign relations and vassal states, and so on.
For example, to associate binary with Tai Chi Bagua, to name the first computer with Tao, and so on.
Try to simulate the world that doesn't exist in this way.
Therefore, I deleted some fantasy pictures of Westernized Daming that appeared in the comment section.
For example, the picture of the emperor wearing the dragon robe of the Ming Dynasty sitting on a Western-style four-wheeled carriage parade.
There are also pictures of men in the costumes of Prince Daming kissing the hands of Western women.
Because these things are completely inverted from the state of the world that I want to depict in my book.
What I write is not the Ming Dynasty after the Westernization reform, but the state of the Ming Dynasty that entered the industrial age on its own.
It is the state of the world where the West is influenced by the East, not the state of the East after the East is influenced by the West, as in reality.
Of course, this statement is not very accurate, and it is impossible for us to be completely free from Western influence.
This is true in the book, and it is also true in reality.
Our minds are profoundly influenced by Western culture, and we cannot truly paint a picture of a world completely devoid of Western influence.
I just try to change my thinking as much as I can, and let myself think from this perspective.
When I'm done with what I want to write, it's over.
In the end, this statement is actually focused on the setting, on the description of the state of society.
This book is actually very weak in terms of storyline.
Because the author's personal abilities are limited, he doesn't know how to make the plot enjoyable.
Finally, I rarely read the comment section, sometimes once a week, sometimes not once a month.
Not because I don't care about reviews.
It's because my heart is weak.
I knew there was going to be a bunch of people scolding me.
I didn't even dare to open the writer's assistant to look at the data.
I know that my writing and storytelling are actually rubbish.
The vast majority of the content is about emotions and opinions.
I've looked at the comment section a few times recently, and I've seen some comments that make me feel helpless.
One of them should mean very disappointed, saying that after the protagonist became the emperor, he was expecting the protagonist to show his strength, and it started to water.
I didn't really think about it when I wrote it.
After I saw this comment, I tried to change my position and angle to look at it, and found that what this brother said was the truth.
According to the natural story arrangement, the protagonist should indeed be regarded as an emperor as a key node.
After the main character ascends the throne, a series of big events begins.
But I didn't do that.
It's just that when it comes to my own position, I didn't take the initiative to go to the water myself.
The plot of this book should be very dry after the middle of the book, right?
A lot of places are running accounts, and a lot of things that can be written in detail are not written in detail at all.
However, I did write about things that would be read as water.
After the main character ascended the throne, I began to summarize the characters in the previous part of the book, and the development of the previous ten years.
I'm starting to comb through the data from the previous stage.
The subordinates and officials who have been with the protagonist at the beginning, the current situation of the Great Food Country, the current situation of the oil industry, etc.
Therefore, I actually regard the protagonist as the emperor as the end of a big stage.
I did have some big things planned.
For example, inheritance and gift taxes should be levied, and new cities should be built in Tianfu, skyscrapers should be built as imperial palaces, and so on.
But these things are put before the main character ascends the throne.
Do it in the era when the protagonist's father was the emperor.
I think logically speaking, these things should be done at the time of the handover of the two generations of emperors, and it would be better to be represented by the previous emperor.
If I become emperor, I will also take the initiative to take on some big responsibilities for my son.
I also wrote a chapter title, "Parenting".
Maybe the plot design is not good, but I think it's more reasonable, but objectively it's definitely like a running account.
Maybe it's because my way of thinking is too erratic......
I didn't study how to create, and I didn't even read much.
So it's hard to write something that satisfies most people.
I also have this understanding, so I said that this book is to write about the situation of the world I imagined.
If you feel uncomfortable looking at it, I can only ask for your bearing.
Also, when I read the comments, I found the ones that made me feel the most uncomfortable.
It's not that I'm bad at writing, and it's not that I'm obscene.
I didn't see them, or I deleted them.
I can't say that I don't take it to heart at all, but I don't feel bad because of those comments.
Because those are the facts......
For example, as I said earlier, I think I read the plot very waterily after the protagonist became the emperor.
The comment that made me feel the most uncomfortable was "the one that made me feel like a fake author".
Some people read a serious analysis in the comment area, the author, your assumption is not right, it is inappropriate......
But I didn't write it like that......
A few days ago, I read it and left a message in the comment area.
said that the Ming Dynasty occupies most of the world, and there is no need to build high-rise buildings.
In reality, if there is not enough land, some modern companies will not build high-rise buildings.
Extra-tall office buildings are also uncomfortable to use, and maintenance can be very troublesome.
I don't remember the specifics, but that's probably what it looks like.
According to the author's understanding, this brother wants to express the meaning that "the author's idea of letting the protagonist build a high-rise building is wrong".
However, the protagonist in the book did not promote high-rise office buildings......
The protagonist in the book is also repeatedly emphasizing that high-rise buildings are not the most comfortable to live in, and the key is that it is inconvenient.
Therefore, don't make your palace into a high-rise building.
The high-rise building built by Zhu Jingyuan is the main hall where the imperial court holds ceremonies.
As explained in the book, the main hall of the Ming Dynasty corresponds to the churches of the Taixi countries, and it is not a house or an office building at all.
This kind of building does not take into account the comfort of living, because there will be no permanent occupancy at all.
There's also no focus on maintenance costs, because that's a symbol of the authority of the emperor and the court, like the cathedral of Tessie.
The protagonist also specifically limits the height of buildings in different levels of the city.
The two Jingshi were eventually limited to sixty meters, that is, the height of a twenty-story building, which was usually less than twenty floors.
In reality, the buildings in the county are all placed on 30 floors, that is, 100 meters.
On this basis, the provincial capital, the capital city, and the county seat are lowered in turn, and the buildings at and below the county seat shall not exceed six floors.
The book also discusses the relationship between land and house prices and building heights.
The book discusses the similarities and differences between Eastern palace architecture and religious architecture and Western palace architecture and religious architecture.
These contents were completely ignored by this brother.
I replied to this reader in that post.
But after replying, I felt that this comment was hanging in the comment area, which should make the later reading misunderstood.
I think the author deliberately built skyscrapers in the book, and engaged in high-rise office buildings and residential buildings in later generations.
But there is no such plot and setting in the book......
From the very beginning, the book is very clear against the construction of high-rise buildings and against speculation on real estate prices.
In the early chapters, it was described that Jingshi New Town spread the pie and used the city light rail to communicate.
On the way south of the protagonist, he also describes a city with an unusually large area, but no high-rise buildings at all.
The protagonist's staff also discussed why there are tall buildings in the city.
The protagonist has always been very clear against the construction of high-rise buildings.
As an author, I will not design the protagonist to take the initiative to engage in commercial and private skyscrapers in future stories.
So I just deleted the comment.
At the same time, I was wondering, why is there such a comment?
I can think of the reason that readers are jumping to subscribe to my book.
I watched part of the plot, and then analyzed it in my own brain and completed the other plots by myself.
Then, after completing these episodes on their own, combined with the plots they actually saw, they went to make relevant comments.
The autocomplete plot is also taken for granted and is shown in the comments.
I understand this approach because the book is written where you want to write it, and a lot of things are actually boring.
I don't mind readers doing this, and I often skip subscriptions to read books myself.
I don't mind the reader's brain supplement, the best thing about watching videos is that it can play a more important role.
It's hard to show the big picture of the text in the video, but the brain can.
I also mind that the plot of everyone's brain is different, and the plot I wrote, most of the brain supplement is more exciting.
What I mind is that the plot after the brain supplement is completely contrary to what I wrote.
Then, these contents also appeared in the comment area, or in the comment area outside the book, not in this chapter.
This chapter says that the brain-filled comments in it can be read and seen directly, and it is directly determined that it is a fake review.
And the comments in the comment area, there is no way to judge directly.
In particular, many readers, including myself, like to read the comment section first when they discover a book.
See if there are any big holes, and then decide if you want to read the content.
If such a comment appears in the comment section, it will be very misleading to people, including readers like me.
So I sincerely hope that all readers here, before commenting, slightly distinguish which of the following are actually seen and which are made up by your own brain......
If it is difficult to determine, or for the sake of conservatism, try to say it in this chapter so that other readers can correct and test.
Try not to throw it directly into the comment area.
Try to discuss some clear enough details in the comment section, or general comments with no details at all.
Please.
Finally, the plot of this book, which is not over here, has more to write about later.
It's still what I thought at the beginning, to write down what I thought.
It hasn't been written yet.
There are also very important aerospace projects, atomic energy industry, computer industry, Internet industry, mobile communications, game consoles, and so on.
Although the grades have been declining......
I know that my book is like that, writing wherever I want to go, and lacking plot planning.
It doesn't look good, and the stickiness is too low.
But I'll finish it eventually.
I'm going to write it down as I conceived.
Perhaps, try to learn how to make the story cool and make more people feel more comfortable watching it.
But I'm more worried that the tiger is not an anti-dog.
I will still finish it step by step according to the established plan.
Unless there are too few readers, I will write the book of eunuchs before it is put on the shelves.
After the book is finished, I will summarize the lessons learned and see if there are any insights that can be used in the next book.
