Chapter 79 Remarks on the launch


Chapter 79: Remarks on the Release

This book will be on the shelves at twelve o'clock tomorrow morning, that is, after twelve o'clock tonight.

Before putting it on the shelves, I have something to talk to you readers.

After waiting for a long time, I finally got such an opportunity.

From the beginning of this book, it can be said that there has been constant criticism.

In fact, the audience for this book is very clear, so clear that just by taking a look at my introduction, you will know whether this book will suit everyone's taste.

I just want to write a simple, straightforward and fast-paced novel.

It is a slow-paced, well-founded, and refreshing book with many starting points. I also like to read it.

But I hope that my book can bring pleasure to readers in the shortest possible time.

Let readers feel that the time spent on my book is well spent.

I think the highest praise for this book is: this is a qualified and refreshing article.

Every time I see comments like this in the comment area, I feel happy from the bottom of my heart.

My original intention of writing this book is still clear. This is a simple and direct refreshing article.

All plots are designed to create the most enjoyable service, and everything else has to make way for it.

I remember this firmly and don’t dare to waver in the slightest.

So what kind of rhythm was this book before it was put on the shelves? What kind of rhythm will it be after it is put on the shelves?

Written how you feel about it before it goes on the shelves, and the same goes for it after it goes on the shelves.

At least I think my plot is quite enjoyable.

Because when I think about the plot, I feel so happy that I tremble with excitement.

This book has no literary pursuits and no historical baggage.

It is a pastime for readers to relax and unwind after their daily busy study and work.

Does this book do that?

I looked at the comments in the comment area with the word "shuang" written on them, and I felt that I had done it.

I will continue to persevere in the chapters that will be released in the future, just to write the most enjoyable plot.

I know that many big readers don’t know how to comment or vote. They only read quietly and subscribe.

The voices of these silent readers will not be reflected in comments, but will only be reflected in subscription data and follow-up data.

I am very grateful to the readers who support me in the comment area, and I will also not forget the readers who silently follow me.

These are my food and clothing parents. As long as the data of the follow-up subscription is not lost, it doesn’t matter no matter how fierce the comments section is.

Many of the books I published together at the same time were not brainless, not ignorant, logical, and consistent with historical facts.

But with everyone’s support, this book still made its way to Sanjiang.

This was an unexpected surprise, and it still feels like a dream when I think about it now.

So I firmly believe that there is a market for this book, there are readers who like to read it, and there are readers who are willing to pay for it and subscribe to it.

I only serve readers who are willing to pay and I am responsible to them.

So I have to emphasize it again, this is a simple and straightforward book.

At the same time, I would also like to respond to the two points that have been complained about the most.

The first point is that I whitewashed Ming Yingzong Zhu Qizhen.

To be honest, Zhu Qizhen can be a wise or a coward.

I don't care at all.

I mentioned before that this book has no literary pursuits or any sense of historical responsibility.

I am just a writer of novels. No matter how white I make Zhu Qizhen, he will not get up from the ground and reward me as a historian.

I only care about whether my subsequent plot can continue the style of the previous article and implement the word "Shuang" unswervingly.

And in the subsequent plot that was so exciting that it made my scalp numb, there was a part about the Tumu Fort Incident.

And this part of the plot is a premise that can make people feel happy.

That is to say, the Tumubao Incident was a mutiny launched by collusion between civilians and generals, and relatives in the harem, rather than a simple defeat.

Of course, it is also his own problem that Zhu Qizhen was able to follow the rules of civil servants and generals.

My purpose in writing about the Tumu Fort Incident is that simple.

It is precisely because of this major premise that I mentioned it more in the previous article.

Because the history of the Tumubao Incident is not logically logical, whether it is viewed from the "History of the Ming Dynasty", "Records of the Ming Dynasty", "Guoyan", or from the "Tianhuang Jade Certificate" circulated on the Internet. .

Based on the version currently circulating, I think it is better than the protagonist of my book.

When Borjijin Temujin came, he had no choice but to lead the horse first.

Therefore, in the subsequent plot, I can only use another version of the Tumubao Incident to serve my plot. Everyone can enjoy it after watching it and don't take it seriously.

If you really want to read history, you should just read history books.

As for whether you believe it or not, it all depends on your own judgment.

Dear readers, don’t take historical novels too seriously.

History is like a little girl who can be dressed up by anyone.

What historical events and historical figures are like all depend on what future generations want from them.

But it’s all out of some necessity, so historical figures are brought out to dress up and appear on stage to receive guests.

Different locations have different needs.

The left and right are just a recreational thing. Just watch Lele, there is no need to go online.

The second point is about the silver issue in the mid-Ming Dynasty.

Many comments are saying that the Ming Dynasty officials confiscated too little silver from their homes, and each official should have embezzled tens of thousands of taels.

Heavenly Bodhisattva!

Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, there has been a shortage of gold and silver.

The scope of use of silver is very small. More than 90% of the people in the Ming Dynasty used copper coins. Otherwise, after Zhu Yuanzhang founded the country, he would not collect taxes but collect taxes in kind.

The salary given to the ministers will not be based on the number of kilo meters.

I mentioned in the article that in the entire autumn tax collected by the imperial court in the first year of Hongzhi, there were only 50,000 taels of gold and silver, and the rest was in kind.

In the eighteenth year of Hongzhi, after Zhu Houzhao, Emperor Wuzong of the Ming Dynasty, ascended the throne, he wanted to bury Zhu Youtang and went to the Ministry of Household Affairs to ask for money. As a result, the Ministry of Household Affairs only had one million taels of Taicang silver.

In the Chenghua period, Zhu Jianshen made some money so that after Zhu Youtang ascended the throne, Taicang still had three to four million taels of silver.

The first large influx of silver in the Ming Dynasty only occurred after the Longqing Switch.

After the Longqing switch, the official record of silver flowing into the Ming Dynasty was 340 million taels.

Including corruption and smuggling, I think the number will not be less than 600 million taels.

So Ming officials had to wait until the Longqing period to have a large amount of money.

It was only after Zhang Juzheng had a sufficient amount of silver that he began to implement the one-whip method and the silver standard.

In the tenth year of Wanli, the annual tax revenue of Taicang Silver, the household department of the Ming Dynasty, was 4.08 million taels of silver, and the income from internal funds was more than one million taels.

At this time, all taxes collected were money.

Before this, in the 44th year of Jiajing reign, Yan Song, Yan Shifan and his son had their homes confiscated.

A total of 30,000 taels of gold and 2.5 million taels of silver were copied, which was enough to write a book "Tianshui Bingshan Record".

The first year of Hongzhi was more than seventy years earlier than the forty-fourth year of Jiajing.

Compared now with the 1950s, silver in the first year of Hongzhi is definitely more valuable.

Even if officials are greedy to death, they should not be greedy much.

Before the Longqing Switch, was there a huge amount of silver anywhere in the Ming Dynasty?

Yes!

But it is definitely not in the hands of Beijing officials, but in the hands of Jiangnan smuggling groups and gentry landlords.

This is another follow-up episode with an even more exciting plot.

There are so many words to write about this review.

Actually, I didn’t want to give any explanation, but there have been a lot of comments on these two questions, so I don’t want to complain.

Sorry if any offense was caused.

This is the first time Xiao Mengxin has put it on the shelves, and I feel uneasy.

Before putting it on the shelves, I still want to ask for first order and full order.

It would be great if the big guys who want to raise books can open a custom one.

It will be released tomorrow, crazy updates!

Tomorrow morning around 12:50, six chapters of 4,000 words will be uploaded in one go, totaling 24,000 words!

The first order of 1,000 was made that day, and two chapters with 4,000 words were added!

The first order of 2,000 was received that day, and two more chapters with 4,000 words will be added!

The first order was over three thousand that day, and then...

No more.

I only have 40,000 words in my manuscript.

And now it is impossible to achieve more than 3,000 first orders. If I can get more than 1,000 orders, I will be secretly happy.

If I get 2,000 subscriptions and squeeze out all my manuscripts, I will be so happy.

So tomorrow, don’t feel bad for me, don’t pity me, please squeeze out all my manuscripts!

After it was put on the shelves, two chapters were updated every day, but all of them were chapters of 3,000 words, which is equivalent to updating 6,000 words every day.

If I really can’t write it, I will update two chapters with 2,000 words.

At least 4,000 words are updated every day.

Because I really can’t write this book fast. Many times as I write, I delete all the words at the front that I think are nonsense.

I just want to use the fewest words to explain everything, and then start having fun.

This way I feel good writing it, and the big readers will also feel good reading it.

Unconsciously, I have written so many words in my acceptance speech.

As expected, he is a newbie with no experience in publishing. He just chatted and forgot to do the most important things.

After it is put on the shelves, please ask for monthly votes, please ask for evaluation votes, please ask for rewards, and please ask for comments.
