In fact, Brother Zhang discovered a problem, which is about the limitations of the times, that is, children born after the Renzong Dynasty have no concept of before the Renzong Dynasty.
They had enough food when they were born, went to school when they were old, and had no fear of war. There was a constant flow of people in the city. In their spare time, they could go on outings or read books in the cool breeze of the study.
We take it for granted and think that this is how the world should be.
But in fact, more than 70% of the people in this world still do not have enough to eat, and slash-and-burn farming is the mainstream of this era. Children cannot understand why clan elders can execute someone at will, let alone what is the reason.
In what kind of era would the tragedy of cannibalism occur? They saw everything from books.
But all this really happened thirty or forty years ago. They only knew that the Western Regions had beautiful Mogao Grottoes, delicious fruits and vegetables, and enthusiastic frontier people. They only knew about the prairie.
Majestic and majestic, with herds of cattle and sheep, they only know the beauty and tranquility between black mountains and white waters, and the abundant products. However, they never know that just a few decades ago, these places were once full of ferocious tigers that drooled at them. They only know
We know that this huge territory is the land of China, but we don't know that not long ago it was divided into pieces and fought endlessly.
Decades are enough time to change too much, and the memory of the past after two generations is already very vague. Some people who have experienced all these eras can still remember the past, and they always miss it, but they never
I have no intention of going back at all.
In the year 4115 of the Central Calendar and the year 1111 of the Western Calendar, Emperor Zhao Yan abdicated and the country was changed to a republic. However, he was still the boss of the first term. After all, in terms of ability and contribution, Zhao Yan was undoubtedly the best in this era.
What's more important is that he is in his prime, full of energy, and has a promising future.
The fluctuations at the upper levels have not affected the progress at the lower levels, and the continuity of policies has not stopped. And this year seems to be just like the first year of the Republic, with many firsts appearing in various places.
For example, the appearance of the first airplane marked the transition of mankind from the ground to the sky, turning Feng Xu Yufeng from a legend into a reality. The penetration of the first telephone made instant access to thousands of miles a reality, and the emergence of radio made it even more important.
This changed the war into something else. Heavy armor was completely abandoned by history, and the era of light infantry was officially announced.
There are also graduates from the first comprehensive university who have gone into the society and become the proud ones of this era. However, they themselves may not have thought that it is they who will become the pillars supporting the next era.
However, when a new era comes, the old must leave. The last of the eight great masters of the Tang and Song Dynasties, Su Shi and Su Dongpo, encountered storms and passed away on the American continent. His departure can almost announce the departure of an old era, and everyone is commemorating it.
This great pioneer and explorer, but they almost ignored that this unruly and talented player was actually a big wronged person.
In the same year, the European expedition to the East also sounded the alarm for war, but these Europeans never came over after all. Because of the pandemic influenza and plague, these Europeans with extremely poor hygiene habits had to fight the epidemic in just forty-five days.
The reduction has exceeded 30%, and is spreading outward at an alarming rate. From Jerusalem to Berlin, from Helsinki to Paris, no place can escape the invasion of the Black Death.
The outbreak of the plague did not affect the daily life of Easterners. They still got up early to go to work as always, and then discussed when they could live a good life.
This year, Baga was swallowed by Ryukyu. Maybe Ryukyu himself never thought that with his size, he could reversely eat the mountain that had been pressing on his head for hundreds of years. After Ryukyu ate Baga,
Nothing seems to have changed. They should continue to do business and continue to be loyal to their great empire to the west.
Not just in the second half of this year, as soon as August passed, Ryukyu suddenly declared war on Goryeo. The cause seemed to be a murder that happened in Goryeo. The war started in August and ended in October because of the combat effectiveness of the stick.
Not as good as Baga, there was not even a hard fight, running away became a daily routine for the sticks, and then Qiuqiu did a very interesting thing, that is, after annexing the entire territory of Goryeo, he returned the land of Goryeo to the big brother next to him.
And it was stated very clearly in the letter of credence.
"Keeping a respectful distance does not mean that you are not near, but it is the way of harmony."
It means that I respect you, but if I stay far away from you, it is not that I have a bad relationship with you, but that being too close to my eldest brother will affect the relationship between the two families.
But the sticks were miserable. They originally thought that this way their government-in-exile could get the support of the elder brother to get back their own political power, but the elder brother was not so easy to manipulate. The elder brother split Korea into six counties, although it was still called
However, Goryeo has begun to implement a high degree of autonomy.
Faced with the questions from the stickmen, the answer here seems very interesting. The translation is: "You keep saying that you want to advance and retreat with daddy. Dad has already become a republic. It's a bit unreasonable for you to be a monarch. So why not take this opportunity to let
Daddy will help you to join the Republic together."
The next year, riots broke out in Goryeo, and almost all the original royal family members were wiped out. So far, no one in Bangzi has mentioned the so-called restoration, and they have just followed along and become a republic.
In 1115 AD, the agricultural tax completely stepped out of the historical stage, and began the Western Movement that attracted worldwide attention. The Western Region was renamed New J, and the New Construction Movement began to develop rapidly from east to west, because everyone knew that in order to ensure the long-term peace and stability of the vast territory, the final
The best way is to develop and build.
In this year, the first railway artery was officially connected, totaling 1,882 kilometers from top to bottom. For the first time, land transportation capacity exceeded shipping capacity.
After all, the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal has declined. The connection of roads and railways has made slow shipping lose its advantage. The load-carrying capacity of the inland canal is far less than that of the sea route, but it is still being expanded every year because there are still many transportation distribution and distribution centers along the way.
The hub, but everyone knows that sooner or later he will retire from the position of the protagonist. He is like an old man. Although he is still strong and healthy, he is not as good as those young people who are young and strong.
The long river of history will always submerge many things silently, and the pace of change can never stop for one thing, just like the canal was eliminated not by a wider and larger canal but by a narrow railway.
.
1118 was a year of disaster. The southern coastal area suffered a century-old typhoon and suffered heavy losses. Nanshipuan lost seven merchant ships under construction at once. The originally prosperous Nanshipuan fell to the edge of bankruptcy overnight.
In the end, we had no choice but to seek help. In the end, the two largest shipyards of North Shipbuilding and South Shipbuilding completed the merger in mid-October, forming an unprecedented giant unit, Central Shipbuilding.
The address is in Shandong, which is neither south nor north. The original factories of the North and South Ships are retained, but the North Shipbuilding Company was renamed Dalian Shipyard, and the South Shipbuilding Company was renamed Jiangnan Shipbuilding Plant. This year, we also encountered rare unsalable products, mainly because of the European
The trade routes were basically cut off due to the plague, which naturally caused development to enter a bottleneck period.
The bottleneck period naturally brought many problems. In a series of chain reactions, the first Great Depression also followed. Fortunately, this depression did not last long because the vast rural areas were able to absorb surplus products and productivity.
, a large amount of materials and personnel poured into the countryside, quickly overcoming the crisis.
This is the advantage of having a vast land and a large agricultural population. The first hexagram of the Book of Changes has already made the problem very clear. The terrain is vast, and a gentleman carries things with kindness. The land can carry far more than people imagine.
Much more.
1123, this year is nothing special, but it is the 70th birthday of Mr. Zhang Zhongpu, the founder of this era. However, his spirit is still very good. He has never smoked, drank, or been greedy for money or lust. He is in good health and has no illness or disaster.
But he is indeed getting older, his hair has changed from gray to white, but as he gets older, his temperament has become more serious and solemn.
Although he has no heirs, the students he has brought out throughout his life are all top talents, including the three emperors and the Queen Mother of the Liao Kingdom. The Queen Mother was only a teenager at that time, but now she has been dead for ten years.
According to the normal world, it is actually almost the Southern Song Dynasty at this time. It should have been a scene of continuous wars and disasters, but now it has become something else.
Brother Zhang felt a little short of breath when he woke up in the morning, but this was already an old problem. It was normal for ordinary people's bodies to have various problems at this time. He knew that he didn't have much time.
He finally retired a few years ago, because there is little point in further clicking on the technology tree, and there is no problem in leaving the rest to their own development.
Now he is recuperating in his old age in the former royal villa, and in the blink of an eye, the little emperor he watched grow up is almost fifty years old, and the world has also undergone earth-shaking changes.
Brother Zhang, who was sitting on a chair enjoying the cool air, quietly recalled his life here. Every person who appeared in it was like a page in a history book, and a short sentence was their glorious life.
Suddenly, he thought of Su Shi. That old guy has been away from this world for more than ten years. It is a pity that he did not leave more things for this era, but he is not as depressed as his original trajectory. He can
It is said that he has achieved the realization of his self-worth. As a prodigal son, he is considered complete.
The cicada outside was squeaking, and Brother Zhang took a sip of tea. The serious Mingqian Longjing, top quality, is a special product. At this time, Zhao Rong walked in from outside and turned on the fan: "I don't know.
Turn on the fan, it can be fatal if an old bone gets sick."
Brother Zhang didn't say anything, he just smiled. Then he reached out and pinched Zhao Rong's finger: "We'll see you there."
"You're talking nonsense again."
Zhao Rong didn't take it seriously, and then turned around and went about her business.
But what no one expected was that on that night, Mr. Zhang Zhongpu, known as the father of industry and founder of the country, could not open his eyes again after falling asleep at night.
When the news came early the next morning, the whole country was saddened. The commander-in-chief Zhao Xi rushed to his residence immediately and found that his teacher and father had really disappeared like this. Zhao Yan, who had always been known for his iron fist,
I cried like a child today.
But people are gone, after all, they are gone, and he became the first person to be buried in the old imperial funeral ceremony after ten years of the Republic. The funeral arrangements were even personally arranged by the retired former Minister of Rites of Liao Dynasty. Flags were flown at half-mast across the country, and all entertainment activities
Stop, factories shut down, and schools closed for three full days.
To others, this may be an exaggeration, but to him, no one in the country objects to it, because anyone who knows his life knows that it was this man who pulled the country out of the dire quagmire, and he did so forcefully.
a pattern.
Not only did he single-handedly create the entire modern industrial landscape, he also personally created a framework for stabilizing the country, and even designed a complete national plan for the next two hundred years. Anyway, so far, whenever there is a problem, he has to take out his
There is no problem that medicine cannot solve.
No one would argue with saying he was a great man.
He also announced his property after his death. The total value of all his properties was about 15 million, but most of them were royal rewards when Zhao Rong was still a princess. The value of his inheritance was only 800 yuan.
A commemorative fountain pen was a gift given to him when the first pen factory was put into operation, and there was also a pendant that Su Shi got for him when he went to Egypt.
Not long after his death, Zhao Rong also went there, and the two of them were only one foot apart, less than ten days. And their departure officially represented the end of an era, and the official beginning of a new era.
, it’s just that in this new era, people like them no longer exist.
At the end of this journey, Brother Zhang opened his eyes again. He was still sitting in the bonfire. Miss Jin next to him came back soon. Compared with Brother Zhang, she seemed to have a little more stamina. She looked at Zhang
After a while, my brother said: "So this is what you meant when you told me we would meet over there."
Brother Zhang looked at Miss Jin's young face and suddenly smiled: "Actually, I think you'll look better as you get older."
"Let's not talk about whether it looks good or not. Why don't you just follow the script?"
"Script? Is it a script about a prince rescuing a princess?" Brother Zhang asked curiously.
"Yes, that's not what the script says. You have to save me from the fire all the time."
After a moment of silence, Brother Zhang looked up and asked, "Did you fall into the sea of fire in the end?"
Miss Jin was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "That's not the case."
"Do you still want to play?"
Miss Jin quickly shook her head: "It turns out that this kind of game has such great stamina... I won't play it anymore, so that's why you don't want children, right?"
