Save the Bachelor of Heaven

If Xiang Nan wants to gain a foothold in the academic world, he will never be able to rely on a few popular novels. The difficulty is even higher than the best picture award for a Marvel movie at the Oscars.

Martial arts novels can only help him make money, but if he wants to win the respect of the academic world, he must make achievements in the academic field.

So Xiang Nan then took out "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty".

This book was serialized on the Tianya Forum, with more than 100 million hits and a sales volume of 20 million copies.

It has also been rated as one of the top ten best-selling books in the country and one of the top ten must-read books for primary and middle school students in the country. It has been recommended by readers as the most impressive book for many years in a row. It can be said that word of mouth and sales are top-notch.

But this book is not a rigorous historical work, but a concise historical reader written in the style of a novel based on official history, unofficial history, archives, notes, inscriptions and other materials.

This book is actually not enough to make Xiang Nan gain a foothold in the academic world, at most it is just a stepping stone. But this stepping stone is indispensable.

Because if Xiang Nan suddenly throws out a tome of historical research and claims to be the author, the academic circle will 100% believe that he has found a replacement.

It's like a master who has been studying the five scum all the year round, and suddenly gets the first place in the class. Everyone will think that he has cheated, and they will not think that he has real talents.

Therefore, Xiang Nan wrote "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" first. This book is easy to understand, and basically has no academic value. It is not too unusual for a young man like him to write it.

And with this book as a basis, it would not be too abrupt for him to publish academic works on Ming history in the future.

...

Another important reason why Xiang Nan wrote "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" is that he really knows the Ming Dynasty too well.

Not only has he inherited all of Ji Xiaolan's talents and knowledge, he is well aware of the twenty-four histories, especially Ming history, and he has also been to the three worlds of "Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng", "Sword Rain" and "Wulin Biography", and the time nodes of these three worlds are exactly All in the Ming Dynasty.

"Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng" took place in the Zhengde and Jiajing years; "Sword Rain" took place in the Wanli period in the late Ming Dynasty; and "Wulin Biography" also happened in the late Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, he has a very clear understanding of the Ming Dynasty, its history, humanities, customs, and system, which are far more detailed and true than those Ming historians dug out from the pile of old papers.

What's more, in the world of "Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng", he also served as the protector of the Jiajing Emperor's country, and he was under one person and above ten thousand people. Zero-distance contact with the political struggles of the palace, temples, and the ruling and opposition parties. This is also much clearer than the historical records.

In "Sword Rain" and "Wulin Biography", he also worked as a killer, a rich man, a catcher, and the leader of the martial arts alliance, and he also knows everything about Jianghu.

Therefore, it is perfect for him to write "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty". From temples to rivers and lakes, from the former dynasty to the harem, from commoners to rich households, the scene of the Ming Dynasty is introduced from multiple angles and dimensions, so that readers can have a more comprehensive understanding of the history of the Ming Dynasty.

...

"Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" was serialized in "Beijing News" immediately.

Because the language is humorous and the story is easy to understand, it quickly won the favor of readers after serialization.

Although it is not as popular as martial arts novels such as "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", "The Legend of the Chinese Paladin", "Chu Liuxiang", "Peerless Twins", but in the field of historical books, it is definitely second to none.

Therefore, the academic circles in Beijing also began to pay attention to Xiang Nan.

Although "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" is too popular, it has no academic research value. But for a young man of 21 years old to be able to write such a historical book, it is considered very good.

"You can be wise by reading history, and you can learn from the past by knowing the past. Yanxi, I read "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" written by you. Although the writing is simple, but you can write it and have your own opinions, which is considered good. "Jin Quan laughed.

"Yes, father, I was also influenced by you to become interested in history." Xiang Nan nodded and said, "Reading history can help you know the ups and downs, and understand the gains and losses. I feel that I have benefited a lot."

"Okay, in the future our Jin family won't be able to produce a prime minister, and it would be a good thing to have a university student." Jin Quan smiled triumphantly.

The so-called bequeathed son is full of golden couplets; my bereaved son is the only sutra. A scholarly family and a family of poems and books are actually no worse than being an official or eunuch.

Because as long as there is knowledge, talents can be cultivated one after another. It doesn't matter even if the first generation declines, the second and third generations will eventually rise up.

Just like Lin Ruhai in "Dream of Red Mansions", although he was a noble queen, he was killed in the fifth life. But he himself passed the imperial examination, was a senior high school student, and successively served as a doctor of Lantai Temple and a censor of Yanyan.

If it hadn't been for his sudden death, Lin Ruhai would most likely have entered the cabinet to pay homage to the prime minister. At that time, Jia Baoyu, a wealthy and idle person, will not be worthy of Lin Daiyu.

...

"Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" has been published, and Xiang Nan's popularity in the academic circle is slowly increasing. Although there is no status to talk about for the time being, at least the academic circles know that he has this number.

In April, Wu Peifang and Chenghui's factories went into production one after another on the same day, which can be described as double happiness. Although both of them are daughters, Jin Quan and Mrs. Jin are still very happy.

Adding imports is the best news for their family. Because for big families, raising children is not difficult. And when the population is prosperous, the family can last forever.

Jin Quan named the two children Jin Tong and Jin Shuang respectively, and specially invited a theater troupe to sing the concert, which was very lively.

"Yufen and Xiuzhu have to work harder." Mrs. Jin laughed.

Bai Xiuzhu is okay, after all, they have been married for less than a year. Wang Yufen was a little ashamed. It has been five years since they were married, and they have nothing to show up to now, which is indeed a bit of an eyesore.

She couldn't help showing embarrassment to Jin Pengzhen, "If it wasn't for you messing around outside, how could you not have a baby for so many years. Kui Mom still blames me, why don't you say it?"

Hearing what she said, Jin Pengzhen couldn't help being very embarrassed, and quickly comforted him, "Isn't this all a thing of the past? Haven't I changed everything in the past few months? Why are you still mentioning those things? In the future, I will definitely Be good, don't be so angry."

"Hmph, you will coax me." Wang Yufen wiped her tears and said, "If you do it again, I don't feel ashamed, so I will take you to see my mother, lest she keep talking about me."

"Okay, okay, okay." Jin Pengzhen repeatedly agreed.

...

And in May, the Jin family just held a full moon wine for the two daughters.

At the banquet, news spread that Wanfa Company was suspected of going bankrupt, which shocked Wang Yufen and Bai Xiuzhu.

"Is it true or not? How could such a big company suddenly go bankrupt?" Wang Yufen said in shock.

She invested 50,000 oceans and put all her net worth into it.

Bai Xiuzhu was also very surprised. She invested 200,000 oceans. Although she didn't have all the net worth, it would be a pity if she just lost it.
