Chapter 723: Things About the Ming Dynasty

"Boss, are you sure you want to write a historical novel?"

In the office, Hua Qi asked about the news on the Internet. He was not worried, but curious.

Luoyang opened the computer document and smiled, "I have already said it, so I have to write it. It is a pleasant surprise that Youlong Culture arranged for Liu Xinzhou to release the third part of "The Smoke of War in the Ming Dynasty". I will try to let him experience Qin Yun's helplessness."

"Um... write it now..."

"Well, there is enough time, because the length will not be particularly long."

Hua Qi showed an expression of "as expected". Apart from Liu Qin who knew Luoyang inside and out, Hua Qi was probably the person who trusted Luoyang the most in the world. Just like everyone did not think that Luoyang's "Three Body" could save the market, Hua Qi never doubted the boss's magic!

"I was still hesitating about what level of work to write..."

Luoyang muttered softly. Among the historical texts of the Ming Dynasty that he had read in his previous life, there were more than one or two excellent ones.

Works about the history of the Ming Dynasty, such as "Top Civil Officials of the Ming Dynasty", "Seven Faces of the Ming Dynasty", "The Sixteen Emperors of the Ming Dynasty", and "Emperors, Eunuchs and Civil Officials: The Love Triangle of the Ming Dynasty's Political Situation", are all of very good quality.

And the historical works that Luoyang liked most in his previous life...

were "The 15th Year of Wanli" and "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty".

Let's talk about "The 15th Year of Wanli" first. This book was published in the United States in 1981 and in China in 1982. It has been popular for decades since then, thanks to its thought-provoking historical perspective and unique narrative.

The author has experienced conflicts and turmoil across time and countries, and has rich experience in the world. Although he started studying the history of the Ming Dynasty halfway, he has his own system, and he has achieved both success as a writer and a writer, creating this rare masterpiece. In his previous life, this book was rated higher than "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty", and there were too many people who recommended this book. They were all kinds of people, including writers, artists, entrepreneurs, psychologists...

In this book, everyone can read their own flavor!

Moreover, this book is very helpful for understanding the entire Chinese history since Qin Shi Huang. At the same time, this book has established a model for Chinese historical writing. Later, ****, Li Yaping, Yi Zhongtian, and so on all admitted that they were influenced by this book.

This book analyzes the Ming Dynasty more deeply!

Next, let's talk about Dangnian Mingyue's work "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty".

Since its publication in 2006, "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" has quickly won the "Lifetime Five-Star Best Book" of Dangdang, and was rated as one of the top ten bestsellers in the country, one of the ten must-read books for primary and secondary school students in the country, and has been recommended by readers as the most impressive book for many years.

The sales volume has exceeded 10 million copies, and it has won the best book of "Sina Book Ranking" many times!

Dangdang.com's "Lifetime Five-Star Best Book", "Excellent Amazon Bestseller Award" and other honors, ranked among the top ten bestsellers in the country, and the first bestseller in the 2007-2008 series. The series of works has been translated into Japanese, Korean, English and other languages ​​for publication.

There is no doubt that "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" has sold very well!

At the same time, "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" was recommended as a historical book in the "Recommended Book List" of the "Middle School Students' Reading Action Guide" jointly issued by the Chinese Education Society's Secondary School Chinese Teaching Professional Committee, Peking University's Chinese Language Education Research Institute, Beijing Language and Culture University, China Education Newspaper, and Commercial Press, which advocates "Reading for China".

It is the bedside book of many celebrities, stars, and celebrities, and the most valuable reading material passed down by word of mouth by countless people.

In this book, the major and minor events of the Ming Dynasty for hundreds of years are vividly and fascinatingly described by Mingyue's pen, and even caused some people to mention historical texts, and blurted out this "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty"!

In terms of depth, this book is not as good as "The Fifteenth Year of Wanli".

But in terms of influence, this book has reached the extreme of historical books.

To put it simply, "The 15th Year of Wanli" is written with style and is more likely to be recognized, but the sales may not be very good, while "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" may cause some controversy. After all, this book in the previous life caused controversy, but at the same time, the sales of this book are absolutely guaranteed!

So Luoyang was struggling with which book to write.

It was not until the interview with the reporter in the morning that Luoyang made up his mind.

Didn't Liu Xinzhou say that the vernacular writing of "Returning to the Ming Dynasty as a Prince" is childish and ridiculous, and has no rigor. For a historical novelist like Liu Xinzhou who comes from an orthodox background, "Returning to the Ming Dynasty as a Prince" is just some grassroots superficial history.

In this case, then write "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty"!

Because the book "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" is a pure grassroots work!

This book was originally serialized on Tianya Forum, and received more than 20 million hits during the serialization period. The author Dangnian Mingyue was actually just an ordinary civil servant. The book won applause during the serialization period, which is really a model of grassroots counterattack.

Before "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty"...

Those historical books were full of didactic flavors between words. Many readers naturally hate this didactic writing style. In the current Longguo, including Liu Xinzhou's "The Smoke of the Ming Dynasty", all historical books have complicated and complicated story lines, dull and boring language, and are full of didactic flavors. It is exactly the same as the historical literature before the birth of "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" in the previous life!

In the previous life, "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" became popular as soon as it was published!

It was born on the Internet, using popular and humorous language to talk about history, rather than telling history, so that ordinary people can also like history and understand history. This unique style has brought a brand new feeling to readers. It is not surprising that it became popular!

Luoyang tapped the keyboard without thinking.

Those things in the Ming Dynasty, six words appeared in the document.

This book is divided into seven parts, the first part is "Hongwu Emperor", the second part is "All Nations Come to Pay Homage", the third part is "The Demonic Court", the fourth part is "Whitewashing the Peace", the fifth part is "The Empire is Shaking", the sixth part is "Sunset in the West", and the seventh part is "The End".

It is definitely impossible to write the whole text for the time being.

So Luoyang plans to write the first part first, the first part is "Hongwu Emperor", also known as "Zhu Yuanzhang Volume".

Zhu Yuanzhang was born in troubled times, bearing the pain of losing both his parents. He started from poverty. He had no background, no backers, no one to rely on. He fought for everything by himself. He went through untold hardships, escaped the clutches of death countless times, climbed out of the pile of dead bodies, buried the bodies of his comrades, and then continued to move forward and continue to fight.

It can be said that in that era, the title of the best commander belonged to Zhu Yuanzhang...
