Section 2 General Wen’s ambitions ()

Wen Desi roughly introduced his experience of walking alone. The different time and space that passed through his bathroom was under a hill, on a small river. Judging from the degree of land development, this is a very prosperous agricultural area. The landform and vegetation should be South China. Just as he was confused whether to take risks and see if there are any villages to explore, unexpected things happened:

A group of soldiers in ancient costume, led by officers riding horses, escorted more than a dozen people who looked like villagers to the riverside and then began massacre.

Although Wen Desi has also seen some pretty bloody photos on the Internet, the shock is still unparalleled when viewing the real scene at close range of 30 meters away.

Finally, the soldiers cut off their heads and threw some broken weapons around the corpse, surrounding the officers and leaving.

"... Fortunately, I was wearing a camouflage uniform, otherwise it would be really mysterious." Wen Desi was still scared when he said it, "The ones closest to me are less than ten meters away."

The first impression that different time and space left on Wen Desi was that the air was good, and the second impression was that life was worrying.

Wen Desi opened his notebook and showed them the photos taken on the spot. The flesh-and-blooded headless corpse was so realistic that it made people vomit under the interpretation of the SLR lens.

"I also found some copper coins scattered around." Wen Desi took out a plastic bag containing more than a dozen copper coins. "There are several types, please check them out. The latest one is Tianqi Tongbao."

"It may also be during the Chongzhen period."

"At least after the second year of the Apocalypse," Xiao Zishan said with confidence. "The Emperor Guangzong died after only a few months. The first year of the Apocalypse was his father's Taichang Tongbao. The second year of the Apocalypse was cast. If it took time to cast and circulation, it could be calculated to be the third year of the Apocalypse."

"But this era is still a little broader. The two brothers have been in power for more than 20 years."

"I think it should be the Apocalypse, at most it is the early years of Chongzhen. There were a large number of castings in various places in Chongzhen Tongbao, and the circulating range was very wide. It was impossible that there were only Apocalypse coins."

After confirming the times, what exactly do we plan to do?

A wormhole leading to different time and space is of milestone significance to the scientific community. The three people in the bathroom are obviously not physicists, and there is no Nobel Prize. If you want to be a major news, none of them are from the media industry and can only be considered as parties in the news at most. Of course, as the discoverer, Mr. Wen will definitely be mentioned slightly in the news. In addition, these people thought that given the huge consequences of this matter, the existence of the wormhole is likely to be completely covered up - just as Americans have always suspected that there is a 51-zone area-this, their prospects will be greatly unfavorable.

Except for the owner of the wormhole - the ownerless thing belongs to the discoverer, Wen Desi can be regarded as the owner of the wormhole - the other two people know that this is an opportunity. If Wen Desi really wants to win a physics award or do his "single-person, two-way low-key time travel", he would never post that post no matter what.

How great is this opportunity? As Mr. Wen said, it is so big that it may have one world - the 17th century on another plane.

Thinking of this, my breathing became thicker.

After a brief discussion, the initial executive committee was established in the bathroom of Wendesi's house, and the first document was immediately generated. In the history of discovery in the new century, the conference was called the "washing room meeting".

The program adopted by the meeting: Build a new world!

How to create their new world? The ancients were not NPCs without thinking. They were not inferior to modern people in wisdom. They were neither lacking courage nor strength. When it comes to adapting to the environment, they were far from comparable to those of delicate modern people. Although these three people all like to read time-travel novels, they at least knew that they did not have the aura of a turtle.

The only thing that the time travelers can surpass them is the accumulation of civilization of 300 years more than them.

"Scale and standardization," Wang Luobin said, "is the magic weapon to win. An industrialized society is enough to defeat any ancient society."

We gathered a large number of time travelers who master modern technology and management methods to carry modern industrial equipment and technology to travel to that time and space together, establish a base, complete basic industrialization, and form a complete industrial system, and dominate the world with this starting point.

A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. No matter how grand this goal is, you still have to eat it bite by bit. After discussion, the group determined that the near future goals were two:

Recruiting people and raising money to purchase supplies and equipment.

Wen Desi decided to first establish a Skype chat group for contact. The original posts are now very popular. He no longer made any explanation and simply added the group number and an alternate email address. Then he locked the post - everyone agreed that it should not attract attention from now on.

As for money, although these three people have some savings, the total amount is less than one million yuan. One million yuan is to complete industrialization - even if it is industrialization during the Industrial Revolution, it is too science fiction.

Of course, theoretically, those who participate will also bring in funds, but they won’t go much further.

Through two-way travel and using the time and space price difference between the two sides to raise funds is probably a more realistic way to make money quickly.

Making huge profits in ancient times with modern products is a wonderful way to make money that has been tried and tested in all time travel novels. Everyone immediately thought of special treasures for time travel such as glass mirrors, glass cups, matches, watches, etc. It is precisely because of these that countless time travelers have made a fortune in different time and space, gained their first pot of gold, and embarked on a journey of dominance.

Xiao Zishan contributed a large number of promotional gifts he had accumulated over the years because of his greed for small gains:

Plastic powder boxes with mirrors, bowls, spoons, chopsticks made of melamine, small fruit knives, kitchen aprons with plastic cloth, acrylic hats, scarves, gloves sets, glass mugs, plastic lunch boxes, towels... There are three or four boxes in a row. These small commodities customized in Yiwu are ugly printed with various company logos, and now they have become shining gold in the eyes of these people.

The Venetian glass mirrors in the 17th century are luxury goods even in Europe, and there is no such thing in Asia. From this point of view, mirrors are a monopoly, such as those dishes that cannot be broken, transparent lunch boxes..., including the empty bottles left by the pure water they just drank, and whatever is a new thing that is not available in that time and space. In theory, they can sell as much as they are: one hundred taels, one pink box, two thousand taels, one cup, one hundred taels, one bowl... This is how many time travel predecessors do it...

All three of them were excited by the golden future and their blood pressure increased. Wen Desi even began to regret it a little - maybe taking the risk of two-way travel alone can unify the world.

"But we just went there like this. Once we arrived at the city gate, we would catch the japanese pirates and go to the Tongzhi Yamen of the Coast Defense." Wang Luobin remembered the real problem.

"Is there a Coast Defense Tongzhi Yamen in Guangzhou?"

"I don't know, but the Maritime Department should be there."

"This is true, we dressed in strange clothes and had a strange accent. Guangzhou is not a place with vast land and sparse population. We have no kenhe road inclination..."

"I won't be exiled to Liaodong."

"That's not true, but if he was brought to the yamen for a strange costume and suspicious behavior, he would have to peel off even if he didn't die." Xiao Zishan remembered that he had read some memoirs of Portuguese people from the Ming Dynasty. There was an unlucky Portuguese pirate who detailed the entire process after he was captured. Although he praised the judiciary in the Ming Dynasty and believed that it was a perfect system of justice, fairness and openness, he said without hesitation that it was cruel to the prisoners.

Thinking of the various tortures that the Portuguese had suffered and seen, Xiao Zishan couldn't help but fight a cold war and was afraid.

"Why should we find a few Hanfu websites? I think there are a few that have been carefully researched on the uniforms of the Ming Dynasty."

"Clothes are OK, but you can't learn your words and deeds." Wang Luobin opposed it, "It's even more suspicious."

"If we pretend to be a foreign businessman - we can call ourselves a maritime merchant." Wen Desi put forward a new suggestion, "Maybe we can pretend to be a tribute envoy? The emperor doesn't like the emperor to come to pay tribute."

"The tribute trade will stop long ago. What's more, the court will be overwhelmed and have no interest." Xiao Zishan thought for a while, "I remember that in the Ming Dynasty, foreigners were very strict in the management of foreigners. Except for Portuguese foreign merchants, they could only trade in Macau, and ships could not enter the Pearl River."

"Can the Portuguese enter Guangzhou?"

"Yes, it seems that Guangzhou held trade fairs every year, and merchants from all over the country would bring goods to trade with the Portuguese."

"It turns out that the history of the Canton Fair is so long." Wang Luobin exclaimed.

The Canton Fair, which was once the main window for China's foreign trade, had its predecessor in the Ming Dynasty, but it was only open to Portuguese merchants at that time. It was held once every summer and winter, and the location was on Haizhu Island, which is now around the Haizhu District Federation of Trade Unions.

"But none of us are like foreign friends. I wonder if there were any foreign Chinese back then?"

"Maybe there, who knows."

"It's a headache, it seems that I have to check the historical materials."

Suddenly, Xiao Zishan slapped the table and laughed:

"We are so stupid! Why do we always think about how to enter Guangzhou? We are just in Guangzhou?"

Everyone's eyes lit up. Indeed, since the wormhole is in the same place in and out of the two space-time, as long as you travel within the Ming Dynasty city of Guangzhou, wouldn't you directly enter Guangzhou City? As for what kind of crisis really happen, just open the wormhole and escape back.

The chosen crossing place was Haopan Street, which was originally along the riverside area south of Guangzhou City. This place was a commercially developed area as early as the Southern Song Dynasty, and the business in the early Ming Dynasty was even more prosperous. During the Jiajing period, the new city was built, and the commercial area on the Pearl River was also included. At this point, the Nancheng City Wall of Guangzhou stood directly on the Pearl River.

In the Ming Dynasty, Haopan Street was the so-called place where wealthy businessmen from other provinces gathered and lived, and it was actually a concentration of smuggling merchants. These people colluded with fishermen who were traveling on Yuzhou Island at the Pearl River Estuary and specialized in trafficking goods on "foreign ships", which was a smuggling and smuggling businessmen from other provinces. "Every time a ship arrived, they would move porcelain, silk cotton, private money, gunpowder, and leave with full loads and return with full loads." Xiao Zishan suspected that these so-called "rich businessmen from other provinces" were all figures with official backgrounds, so smuggling and smuggling were so rampant.
