I just got off the plane this morning and saw the readers paying attention to this book. The drunkard was very grateful to Qidian for his recommendation of this book and his love for him.

There are countless readers accusing the Drunkard of plagiarism of this book "Ming". I am very sorry, this may disappoint you. The Drunkard's book "Ming" was probably much earlier than the two books mentioned. Drunkard can say with certainty that those two books did not plagiarize "Ming". Although one book has a very similar beginning to "Ming", the plot development afterwards is not the same routine. The other book is not the same as "Ming" at all, so it will not draw on the thinking of "Ming". Although many readers like to compare it with "Ming", Drunkard personally believes that it is a historical novel with a high level, and "Ming" is basically a fantasy story that deviates from history.

The drunkard deliberately wrote such a story just to pursue a love story. Now he is trying to continue writing this story, just to express his thoughts on history and reality. Therefore, Wu Anguo's performance in the story may not be satisfactory, but he is thinking about survival with his own mind, just like we are now. In many dark periods in history, individuals are deprived of the power to speak, but the power to think cannot be deprived of even kings and gods. As long as people still think, many lies will be analyzed.

The drunkard knows that his level is not high, but no matter whether you like this story or not, no matter how poor the drunkard's historical and literary skills are, please make good criticism and not slander it, okay? Because the drunkard has put too much effort into this book.

By the way, I will clarify several technical issues again: Regarding water wheels and windmills, Drunkards have actually explained many times that Western water wheels are not as efficient as windmills and similar products in ancient China. In addition, similar products in ancient my country appeared early but were very late. The popularization of ancient Chinese water wheels was in the middle of the Ming Dynasty. According to wine wheels, windmills were not popular at all. I don’t know if you have ever been to the Qiaojia Courtyard in Shanxi, and look at the German stoves from the 1930s and 1940s exhibited there. Then compare the very common stoves in my country for seventy-eighty generations. To be honest, everyone immediately understands the technical level of similar products.

Drunk apprentices are studying engineering and have been working in engineering for nearly ten years. My own experience is that in terms of machinery and basic industries, the gap between us and the West is still very far away, which is so far that it is frustrating. This gap can no longer be said to be the gap in technology alone. Drunk apprentices personally believe that if we still hold the view that "middle school is the body and Western learning is the purpose of use", the gap may never narrow.

The emergence of this gap has already appeared before the Ming Dynasty. Readers who have carefully read the novel "Drunk" can know how many years have passed before the early universities in the world appeared in the world? That is not a fabrication of the Drunk, but a historical fact.

Regarding the improvement route of this book, some enthusiastic readers are very dissatisfied with the handling of the alcoholic in this way. How to say it is a controversial issue for nearly a hundred years, and opinions have never been unified. Drunkards personally believe that if there is an opportunity for improvement, it is best not to have a revolution. Because once a revolution occurs, it is often a burning stone, which will make a country unable to recover for many years. Once the old regime is overthrown, due to the different revolutionary ideas, it is always cruel to eliminate competitors. The best example is the French Revolution. Looking at that period of history carefully, blood can make people breathless. For personal fantasies, being an overwhelming strong man is of course the most enjoyable. The problem is that once you become an overwhelmed, the ending is not so wonderful. Imagine if you have to eliminate those with different opinions from spirit to body the day before, but find yourself dealt with by other forces the next day. Is it sad to be a sad one?
