Chengdu was the fifth largest city in China, second only to Yanjing, Zhonghai, Guangping, and Nankun. It was also the political, economic, and cultural center of the six provinces in the southwest of the empire, namely Tianfu Province, Xijiang Province, Nanyun Province, Wanshan Province, Guixi Province, and Pingnan Province. It was a world metropolis with a population of 23 million.
Tianfu Province had an important position in the empire.
The Chengdu Military Region was the Empire's main military region. They had to guard against the unrest in Nanyun Province and Pingnan Province. Nanyun Province was still alright. Although there were many ethnic minorities, they were all relatively gentle southern ethnic minorities. Moreover, Nanyun Province was also an undisputed territory of the Empire. However, Pingnan Province was different. It was all taken over from Laos, Myanmar, and Yuenan after World War II. Although the Empire had completely digested it after decades, they still had to prevent some villains from causing trouble.
Tianfu Province had a population of more than 100 million, and its gross domestic product was one of the top in the empire. In history, there were also cultural celebrities like Su Dongpo. Militarily, in the five years of the War of Resistance against Japan, the Sichuan Army lost 600,000 soldiers. Later, they counterattacked Japan Island and the first two troops that invaded Tokyo were the Sichuan Army and the Dian Army, which was now under the Chengdu Military Region. Now, it was notorious and made the people on Earth exclaim that the Chinese nation was the evil fighting nation. Jing Da Tu. Killing, killing 800,000 civilians was the first shot fired by these two troops.
Ten years ago, the M Nation's Central Asia strategy was once again destroyed by the Empire, so they instigated the locals in Southeast Asia. Pai. China and the Empire launched a counterattack. Four aircraft carrier battle groups and 150,000 troops invaded the country. Most of the invading troops were from Sichuan, Yunnan, and Guangxi. Although the Empire tried their best to cover it up, it was still exposed by some Western reporters. After that war, it was these two troops who took the lead and massacred the locals. The massacre of more than three million people had begun. Many of the locals were burned to death with incendiary bombs. Their deaths were tragic. It was said that the seawater near the country was dyed red.
It was also that war that had cast a layer of blood on the glory of the empire, which had not completely disappeared until now.
The empire had already invested more than 30,000 soldiers in the ongoing war in syria, and a large portion of them were from the Chengdu Military District in the southwest.
Therefore, the politics, economy, and military of Tianfu Province were of great importance to the empire.
As long as he could make a name for himself in Chengdu, he would be able to make a name for himself in the six southwestern provinces. Soon, he would be able to make a name for himself in the entire country.
The Chengdu Literature and Art Press was one of the largest publishing houses in Chengdu. It had published many books that had influenced the empire.
Today, a young man about 18 years old wearing a black T-shirt and blue jeans came to Chengdu Literature and Art Press.
Lee Chencan stood at the door. After explaining the situation to the receptionist, the receptionist, who was wearing a high-heeled black silk business suit and had a voluptuous figure, could not help but take a second look at Lee Chencan.
This young man was very good-looking. More importantly, he had a pair of beautiful eyes.
He had a tall figure and his looks were the type that made people feel comfortable.
The receptionist felt a little strange because this young man had brought his own manuscript over, but he looked at most ten years old. How could he publish his own book?
"Please wait a moment." The lady at the front desk bowed to Li Chencan. Her chest wasn't open high enough for Li Chencan to see the white flowers.
Li Chencan frowned. This body was about 10 years old and was full of vigor. Although the receptionist was not teasing him, it still made him feel a little physiological.
After more than ten minutes, a middle-aged man in his thirties arrived in front of Li Chencan. He was wearing a business suit.
Although the Empire had been encouraging everyone to wear traditional Chinese clothing for the past few years, many people were still used to wearing suits.
"Hello," The middle-aged man casually glanced at Li Chencan and said,""You have a manuscript to submit?"
"Yes." Li Chencan nodded, and the middle-aged man said,""Leave the draft here first. I'll give you an answer in a week or so.”
"A week?" Li Chencan didn't think of this. He thought that he could review the manuscripts now, but after thinking about it carefully, it was the same…Such a big publishing house, who knew how many manuscripts were piled up waiting to be reviewed.
"There's nothing we can do about that. We have too many manuscripts here.”After the middle-aged man said that, Li Chencan had no choice but to wait…However, he was indeed short of money now…
"Then please give me the manuscript again.”"I'll make a few more copies of it," Li Chencan said.”
The middle-aged man frowned and said," That's not a problem. However, I have to tell you in advance that since you've given us this manuscript, we can't submit it to any other publishing house for the time being until we give you an answer."”
" What?!" Li Chencan didn't expect there to be such a restriction that one couldn't submit more than one draft. The middle-aged man explained,""However, we will try our best to speed up the review. Please leave your contact number.”
Li Chencan was conflicted for a moment. After all, it was more reassuring to hand the manuscript to such a big publishing house, so he could only nod his head."Thank you very much."
"It's alright." The middle-aged man was very polite from the beginning to the end.
After Li Chencan's back view left, this middle-aged man called Nie Yuan revealed a hint of helplessness at the corner of his mouth. The youngsters nowadays actually wanted to casually write a history book. Look at this one now,'Those Things in the Ming Dynasty'?
He was at most 17 or 18 years old. The history of the Chinese people spanned 5,000 years, and the Ming Dynasty was as vast as the sea. However, the book was full of endless details that could not be finished. It was not comparable to the American history that could only be filmed in Europe. A young man like him wanted to write the history of the Ming Dynasty?
Even though Nie Yuan appeared to be very friendly to Li Chencan on the surface, in reality, this fellow was truly somewhat disdainful towards Li Chencan in his heart.
After Li Chencan left, Nie Yuan could only secretly laugh at this disdain. He planned to place this book at the lowest level. However, after thinking about it carefully, Nie Yuan had also experienced a blooming age like Li Chencan, and he was also very expectant of many things…Even if he might have just written it randomly, it was still a dream after all. Forget it, he would find some time to let him read it.
He was the preliminary review editor. He could only recommend those who he felt were acceptable to the chief editor.
Ever since the last cabinet, the Empire had spared no effort in encouraging the revival of traditional Han culture. It also encouraged the citizens to study the history of the Celestial Dynasty more systematically.
The dynasty was tolerant of many things, and they also hoped for a cultural revival. Even if something that could unlock the dynasty's archives appeared, they would not pay much attention to it.
The craze to read history among the people was slowly emerging…
The history of the Chinese Empire wasn't as depressing as the history of the Celestial Empire in another time and space. The history of the Chinese Empire, after reading the First and Second World Wars, made one's blood boil and their hearts surge. Their reverence for the founding fathers couldn't be any greater. Of course, apart from these, the ancient history of the Empire was also worth paying attention to.
Nie Yuan thought that perhaps Li Chencan also wanted to follow the trend…However, he was a seventeen or eighteen-year-old guy. Wouldn't he be fooling around if he wanted to follow the trend of the history books?
As he shook his head and thought, Nie Yuan planned to force himself to look at the child's doodles.

Motto: What's yours is mine, and I'm still mine…"
Seeing these humorous words, Nie Yuan couldn't help but laugh."Nonsense! Can history be written like this?" However, he had to admit that this opening was very funny and attracted everyone's attention.
"This little fellow is quite interesting.”
Nie Yuan shook his head and smiled, then continued to watch."Main experience:
1328 - 1344 Cattle Herding
……
For example, the wind, the rain, the fragrance, the stars in the sky, and the red light everywhere. In any case, it was to tell you that this person was different from others. Mr. Zhu Yuanzhang was no exception. When he was born, red light filled the ground. At night, strange lights appeared in the house, so that neighbors thought there was a fire and ran to save him (Ming Shi Lu).”
Seeing up to here, Nie Yuan became a little more solemn. Even if this little fellow was fooling around, his writing was really quite interesting. Even though the language was humorous, what he said was quite reasonable!
Looking down again, Nie Yuan's mocking expression had already completely disappeared, and instead turned into extreme solemnity and extreme shock.
