Chapter 14 Publishing a book is not a game.

Lin Tianyu had this idea because he had already had such an idea, not just because of his desire to change ancient Chinese history, nor was it just because of men's yearning for war instinct. The most important thing is to get more funds to capture a high-end door.

At the last auction, an ordinary door could even cost hundreds of gold. A slightly better door would cost thousands of gold at any time. It can be imagined that the auction price in the future will definitely become more and more expensive. If he wants to take a high-level door, the funds needed will undoubtedly be astronomical. With his original way of making money, it is obviously not practical. Therefore, the choice of using time and space travel to obtain benefits is very important.

In the "Space and Space Travel Guide", the three most common ways for time and space travelers to obtain benefits are roughly listed.

1. Travel and trade, this is the most common way to make profits. It uses some items that are beyond the times that you carry with you and uses plane differences to exchange for benefits, just like what Lin Tianyu often did before.

2. Armed plundering is generally targeted at ancient planes. Advanced weapons that exceed the times are used to carry out armed plundering, break through the treasure houses of kingdoms and tribes, and directly obtain wealth. This method is the most barbaric and direct, and can also be effective quickly. However, its disadvantages are also obvious and it is easy to attract the attention of the Time and Space Administration. Generally, it is a shot and a place to trade in one go. Moreover, facing a tide of indigenous troops, it will be somewhat dangerous.

3. Business organizations, establish their own organizations in different time and space, usually business associations, factories, etc., to continuously obtain benefits through long-term operations. Although this method is the slowest, once the situation is opened, the profit will be the greatest.

But how can you make money by running a business association be comparable to running an empire? People often use the word "rich is comparable to a country" to describe a person's wealth, but in fact, who can truly have wealth more wealth than their own country?

Although he may not have such an idea, his actions opened a skylight for Lin Tianyu to think. If an empire can be established and wealth is collected through the power of the state machine, even the gate of time and space worth tens of thousands of gold can be easily and happily won.

This country may not necessarily need to be as large as the ancient Chinese dynasty, but it must have its own territory, people and armed forces to achieve its goals.

Thinking of this, he became more and more convinced of his plan, but it was not as simple as he thought. Fortunately, he had plenty of time. As long as he could build this country within two or three years, accumulate enough wealth, take a sufficiently suitable door of time and space, and use the remaining time to search for strength in the world behind the door, and everything was enough.

Looking at the warm scene below, Feng Zhong Zhuan seemed very excited. He waved his hand and signaled the cheering people to be calm. Under the gaze of everyone, a group of shamans wearing wolf-headed masks, leather robes, and staff walked out from behind him. They were all believers developed by Feng Zhong Zhuan in this world. Through various means that people in this era seem extremely supernatural, he firmly controlled the thoughts of these people and made them his own crazy believers.

"Who will they go back to your tribe with whom they will return to your tribe, they are the priests of the true gods, and will help you build strong arms and make your lives better. In three months, send half of the warriors of your tribe here, and I will build a huge army of Indians themselves here, sweep this continent, and drive all the white ghosts into the sea, let us cheer for the great revival of the Indians."

"Good" "Good" Every Indian who did not understand the language and had different beliefs made the same shouts. In a warm atmosphere, this mysterious recovery was finally over.

Following the wind, Lin Tianyu couldn't wait to ask the question in his heart, "Are you not afraid of disturbing the Time and Space Administration after you have done such a big move?"

The wind chased after the passing of the wind and smiled, "Those old-fashioned guys from the Space and Time Administration will not be surprised by the sudden prosperity of a nation. History is full of mystery and changes. No one can deny this. Therefore, as long as there is no obvious trace left and no gaps caused by obvious jumps in science and technology will not attract their attention."

"Obvious traces, do you mean?"

"For example, a well-preserved AK47 rifle, or suddenly having Indian soldiers carry a bolt-action rifle, simply put it simply, not allowing the progress of science and technology to show a jumping development, so I chose to strengthen them ideologically, unite them in faith, and perfect them tactically, rather than sending them a bunch of weapons that are beyond the age."

"So you won't give them particularly powerful weapons?"

Feng Zhongzhao nodded, "That's of course. Any time traveler is committed to this principle when engaging in plane wars, using a spear against wooden sticks, using a crossbow against bows and arrows, and using a flintlock against a clamp, allowing technology to lead the enemy, but will never let technology exceed the maximum tolerance of the current era."

Lin Tianyu suddenly understood that the war madman Lexus once told Lin Tianyu that he never used too advanced weapons to crush his opponents. This obviously did not come from a sense of honor. Perhaps the real reason was to avoid being discovered by the Time and Space Administration.

The reason why I caught the attention of the Time and Space Administration when I was taking risks in another world was obviously because the technology I brought with me was too advanced, and people who had advanced to that era should not have thought or invented it.

The techniques that Lin Tianyu sold to Oralist were papermaking, fountain pens, and pocket watches. Obviously, the first item was the least likely to attract attention, and the second item was obviously not like a product of that era. As for the mechanically powered pocket watches, it was not invented by the Seru people with cultural level in the medieval era.

Damn, I'm so stupid. When I think of Alix Lin Tianyu's carelessness, I feel annoyed. However, after so many days, he is no longer so upset. He can only comfort himself and follow Fatty Huang out.

At this moment, the situation of the party was still in my mind. The three of them walked out of the tent and walked on the street. Fatty Huang couldn't help asking, "Is it serious that you said you wanted to build a country?"

"Of course," Lin Tianyu nodded with a smile, "I need funds to do something, what kind of career can be more convenient than being an emperor to make money? Of course, it would be better if I could make some contributions to the continuation of Chinese civilization. As for the emperor, I am not interested in it. If you are willing to establish such a country with me, I don't mind giving the position of the emperor to you, as long as I get enough money."

"Haha, I just said you are the most interesting. I just happened to be worried that no one would help me."

Fatty Huang looked a little excited, as if the emperor's throne was one step closer to him, "But before doing this, I think we need to find a suitable door and a suitable era first, otherwise everything would be useless. After all, if the world behind the door is a peaceful era, it is almost impossible for us to establish a country without disturbing the Time and Space Administration."

After saying that, Fatty Huang turned his eyes to Yao Mingfei, "A Fei, are you interested in this plan? If so, I can count you as one."

Yao Mingfei was a little surprised, "Why don't you ask Feng Zhongzhao for help? He should be more experienced."

"Isn't this obvious? He is not Chinese."

Yao Mingfei seemed a little confused, "Didn't it mean that time and space travelers don't value race so much?"

Fatty Huang laughed, as if he was amused by Yao Mingfei's innocence: "Hmph, do you think things are really that simple? Although we can go anywhere through time and space travel, use the ability of science or witchcraft, we can change our appearance, and even change our skin color if we want, we can even change our thinking patterns and cultural identity caused by the environment of a person's life are not so easy to remove. Why did the passing of the wind let us witness his plan? It is because we are yellow people. Although we have no friendship with Indians, at least there has been no filth. We have no reason to destroy his plan, nor will we be disgusted by his plan. If it were three white people, do you think he would do this?"

Yao Mingfei pointed at it, "What you said really makes sense."

"What does it mean to make sense? This is a famous saying. To be honest, I really admire myself. If I can say such philosophical words, it seems that I am writing this book." Fatty Huang said excitedly.

When talking about writing a book, Lin Tianyu suddenly heard something, "By the way, fat man, do you know what procedures are needed if you want to publish a book in the United States?"

Fatty Huang looked at him strangely, "Do you want to publish a book?"

Lin Tianyu nodded. The book he came up with was the one he wrote some time ago. He forgot about immigration. Now that he has arrived in the United States, he can handle this matter by the way.

"It's very simple. Just find a publisher to ask. If they think you write well, they will publish a book for you for free. Of course, if you think you write poorly, you will be helpless. Of course, you can also publish a book at your own expense. However, the price of publishing books at your own expense in the United States is not cheap. After all, the price of books here is very expensive."

Lin Tianyu shook his head and said, if he paid for it, it would be fine if he paid for it. Although he did not miss the two money, if he paid for it at his own expense, it would be meaningless. You can find a publisher to learn about it when you have time now.

Fatty Huang said: "If you want to find a publisher, I can ask my subordinates to help you with this matter. Anyway, they are idle."

"Do you still have subordinates?" Of course, Fatty Huang said proudly, "I have dozens of people under my jurisdiction now. After all, we are also a person with status, so we can't do everything by ourselves. We just need to let our subordinates handle some small things."

Lin Tianyu nodded. If this happens, it would be much easier. "Okay, don't talk about publishing a book, let's talk about building an empire. When do you plan to start this plan?"

"Of course, after finding the right door, let's talk about it before this. There must be some suitable doors in the president's hands. If you encounter the right door, it's good to talk to the president to exchange it with him."

"By the way, I almost didn't make any money when I fought alone. I finally saved up 200 gold and couldn't afford half a door. The price rise is a bit chilling."

Lin Tianyu couldn't help but sigh when he heard him say this. It would be fine if you say that the banknotes depreciate, but now even gold depreciates. What's this called?

Yao Mingfei was also quite interested in establishing a country and becoming an emperor, but it seems that his greatest ideal after establishing an empire is to get thirty or fifty concubines to serve him. I don’t know if his little body can withstand it then.

After discussing for a while, the three of them separated. Lin Tianyu returned to his new home and lay in bed but couldn't sleep. He used to be very envious of others living in a big house. Now he lived alone in an empty big house, which seemed a bit awkward.

It would be great if Nitanli was here. A thought suddenly popped up in Lin Tianyu's mind. He shook his head absurdly. Nitanli married her just for business. What reason does she have to like a foreigner who has known him for less than a month? No matter from which perspective, the two of them have almost no common language.

Besides, judging from the color of her eyes, she should not be Rebecca's mother, but who will Rebecca's mother be? Could it be Gisele? Otherwise, Rebecca would not have taken Gisele away unless she did not want her to marry her mother. Lin Tianyu smiled at her strange thoughts. How could this be possible? But speaking of it, Rebecca never seemed to have talked about her mother's later experience.

Lin Tianyu gradually fell asleep as he thought about it.

The next day, Fatty Huang happily sent someone to help him with the matter of publishing a book. Early in the morning, Lin Tianyu was woken up from his sleep by knocking on the door. When he opened the door, he saw a very strong white man.

"Hello," he said in a gentle tone that was not very good for his body size: "I am Matthew and Eriksen, an intern lawyer. I am currently working for Mr. Huang. You must be Mr. Lin, right? Mr. Huang said you need my help."

"Of course," Lin Tianyu said and let him in, "I wrote a book and wanted to find someone to help contact the publisher to publish. Now it seems that you are that person."

Lin Tianyu said as he took out the copied manuscript and said to Matthew solemnly: "This book has great significance to me, so it must be treated with caution. Can you do this well?"

"Of course." Matthew agreed, "Leave this to me, Mr. Lin, who will definitely not disappoint you."

Lin Tianyu handed the manuscript to this person with confidence. Matthew's efficiency was really fast. The next day, Matthew brought back the news, but the news was not very ideal.

"Don't meet the requirements? What does it mean?" Lin Tianyu asked depressedly when he heard Matthew's reply.

Matthew scratched his head helplessly, "The publisher said that the content in Mr. Lin's book is too similar to a fantasy classic, and the plot is not novel, so it cannot be recognized by readers."

The conscience of heaven and earth is my real experience

"Fantasy classic? Which one?"

Matthew thought about it and said hesitantly, "Although the publisher didn't say it directly, I guess it should be the Lord of the Rings."

"Lord of the Rings? How come my book is similar to the Lord of the Rings?" Lin Tianyu asked angrily.

Seeing Lin Tianyu getting angry, Matthew seemed a little panicked, and hurriedly explained: "Look, the core protagonists of the two books are both three-person combinations. In the Lord of the Rings, there are the protagonists Aragon, the dwarf warrior Jinli, and the elf archer Legras. The protagonists in your book are a magic warrior, a warrior, and an elf ranger. Except for changing the dwarf warrior to humans, the protagonist has more magical abilities."

"And the protagonists in both books participated in a battle to defend the city against a group of orcs and other monsters. The protagonists in both books received help from elves. In both books, the elves sent reinforcements to help defend the city. The final victory was achieved by relying on reinforcements from cavalry outside the city. The protagonists in both books went deep into a canyon full of undead to find ways to save the defeat. There were supporting characters in both books to cover the protagonist's death. The Black Knight looked a bit similar to the Ringed Knight, and even the number of people in the two books was the same nine."

"To be honest, although there is no plagiarism, these two books do have many similarities." Matthew said sincerely at the end.

Well, Lin Tianyu seemed to be true after hearing what he said, "Is this book impossible to publish?"

Matthew nodded and shook his head again, "Actually, you don't need to be discouraged by Mr. Lin. Although regular publishing is not easy, it still has potential if it is published as an adventure module for DND board games."

Lin Tianyu looked at him strangely, "Oh, why do you say that?" Matthew scratched his head embarrassedly, "Actually, I am a DND game enthusiast. I read your book. To be honest, I think you wrote very realistically, especially the details in the adventure, which is like a person's personal experience. If you make a game module, it will definitely be very successful."

Lin Tianyu thought it seemed like a good idea. He thought about it and handed the manuscript to Matthew again, "Then I will leave this matter to you. Don't let me down this time."...
