Chapter 539: 535. Comments on "The First Minister of the Ming Dynasty"

Today I would like to recommend to you a 372 million-word novel about the Ming Dynasty that is currently being serialized.

"The Prime Minister of the Wise King", Chen Zhengdao, Level 5 author.

Category: History - Song, Yuan and Ming Dynasties.

【Introduction】

In the winter of the 12th year of Zhengde in the Ming Dynasty, Xu Jin traveled through time and space and became the body of a poor scholar boy in Shangrao County, Jiangxi Province.

This year, the Ming Dynasty Emperor Zhu Houzhao was traveling in the border town of Xuanfu.

In this year, Zhu Chenhao, King Ning of Jiangxi, was secretly planning a rebellion.

This year, Xu Jin, with his family penniless, sought a way out and ultimately chose to take the imperial examination. He passed the county, prefectural, and academy examinations, and finally the provincial examinations, but gradually became embroiled in the rebellion of Ning Wang Zhu Chenhao...

【Golden Five Chapters】

Chapter One: A House of Poverty. The protagonist travels back in time to become Xu Jin, a destitute scholar in Shangrao County, Jiangxi Province, during the 12th year of the Zhengde reign of the Ming Dynasty. He has a wife who cares for him, but without parents or family, their lives are extremely difficult. The opening is very similar to "The Great Ming Scholar."

Chapter 2: Requesting Food. With no rice at home and nothing to sell, the protagonist goes to his fourth brother's house to request food. According to the original agreement, the fourth brother cultivated his family's paddy fields and was required to pay monthly grain. When the protagonist arrived, he smelled the aroma of meat, but the other party lied, claiming the harvest was poor. The protagonist pretended to take back the land, and the other party had no choice but to hand over the agreed-upon grain.

Chapter 3: Debt Collection. The town's Guo family comes to collect a debt, having heard the protagonist fell into the river and fearing he'd drowned. The money was borrowed by his wife for medical treatment. However, the high interest rate forces the protagonist to pay back the debt with the rice he's just received. The debt collector is deterred by the protagonist's harsh words and doesn't gain any advantage. The protagonist has changed dramatically, but his wife has also taken a new look at him.

Chapter 4: Mutual Support. The protagonist will reach the age of forced labor next year, a thorny matter. However, his recent success in driving out the Guo family has impressed his second brother, the village head, who is also from the same clan, and has sent him a large amount of rice and grain. The protagonist and his wife, living on a simple diet of rice and vegetables, are able to support each other in times of need, which is truly touching.

Chapter 5: The early bird catches the worm. After some reflection, the protagonist realizes he must pursue the imperial examinations, as merchants are considered too low-status. He picks up a book and begins reading, discovering his remarkable memory. Upon closer inspection, he realizes the previous owner had memorized these books long ago. Combined with the protagonist's decades of comprehension, he believes he should achieve a good score. His wife, undeterred by the dim light of a lamp, continues to weave straw sandals outside the door.

【Brief Comment】

Chen Zhengdao, a level 5 author, has written three works: "God-level Migrant Workers", "Tai Chi Fortune Teller" and "The Prime Minister of the Wise King".

The only one that can be seen at present is the one written by the Prime Minister.

This book was launched on January 19, 2018, with an initial order of 390. It reached the elite level on February 7, 2020, a period of two years. Currently, it has 64,900 collections on Qidian, 18,400 collections in the bookstore, 170,000 fans, and 5 alliance leaders.

With the help of the book "Shou Fu", he upgraded himself from a level 1 author to a level 5 author.

This book's first order was only 390. By many authors' standards today, it would have been cut long ago. It's simply impossible to spend two years crafting this into a masterpiece. Perhaps this has something to do with the overall low subscriptions for history titles; achieving strong results in the history genre is truly difficult. And these days, regardless of genre or author level, first orders are sluggish.

It depends on who has a stronger mentality and what the purpose of writing is.

When I tried to read this book, I thought it would be a brainless and refreshing novel with its own system, because the writing style in the early stage was really not very good, the sense of substitution was also relatively average, and there were serious signs of imitating "The Great Ming Dynasty Wenkui".

But if you read deeper, you can still appreciate the author's hard work, seriousness, and persistence. This is even more precious in today's increasingly impetuous online literature environment.

So, if you haven't read this book yet, go check it out.

Welcome to the paradise of book reviews.

【Cang's Ramblings】

Today is Friday again, although it doesn’t feel very good.

But I'll still post two updates as a sign of respect!

I am clearly in the recommended position, and I promote it through both the web version and the client, but my collection is decreasing every day.

What I want to know now is whether some great person secretly sent me a red envelope before I started recommending it.

Alas, why can’t I break the circle?
Break it for me!!!!

Oh, yes, I almost forgot.

After this chapter, this book has written 500 VIP chapters, and the light of the great god can be activated.
