Peiguo, Qiao County.

Nearly fifty years have passed since the battle between Chen and Cao. One of the overlords of the world who once dominated the north. After fifty years, almost everyone in the world has changed. Who can still remember this former overlord?

"What's your name?" Chen Mo looked at the sixty-year-old man in front of him and asked kindly: "I'm looking for Cao Ang, do you recognize Cao Zixiu?"

"My lord, Cao Xing, Cao Ang is my father." Cao Xing looked at the old man in front of him with some confusion, nodded slightly and said, "My father died of illness a few years ago, I don't know who he is..."

"Zixiu has left?" Chen Mo was stunned for a while after hearing this, then sighed silently, looked at Cao Xing and said, "My name is Chen Mo, and I am a close friend of your grandfather Meng De. Have you ever heard of me?"

Cao Xing was stunned for a long time when he heard this, then silently saluted Chen Mo and said, "It turns out to be Taizu, disrespectful."

"What Taizu? I am a brother to your grandfather, and have a master-disciple relationship with your father. According to seniority, you should call me master." Chen Mo shook his head and said: "I came here to see Brother Meng De.

, can you lead the way?"

Cao Xing nodded with a complicated expression, and led Chen Mo and his party to the ancestral grave of the Cao family, where Cao Cao was buried.

"Fifty years~ Why are you in such a hurry? Even if you don't die, you can't survive me." Chen Mo sat down next to Cao Cao's tombstone with some difficulty, helped Cao Cao pour a glass of wine, and poured a glass for himself.

As if Cao Cao is still alive: "But I've almost come to an end. This is the first time I've come to see you, and it may also be the last time. In fact, I still don't quite understand why you didn't want to when you could vote for that guy Sun Quan."

Surrender to me? You and I have known each other for many years, so it’s so difficult to surrender? You don’t still remember the arrow that shot you in the butt, do you? Haha~”

The three brothers Chen Jin and Cao Xing stood in the distance, watching Chen Mo talking to himself, feeling a little sad in their hearts. Except for Chen Rui, the three brothers Chen Jin and Chen Zheng are now over six years old.

Ten years ago? How much can you understand Chen Mo's loneliness and helplessness? There are fewer and fewer people in the older generation nowadays? Today's Chen Mo? In addition to his godson, he spends most of his time studying something with Liu Yi and the others? Except for some in the academy

In addition to lecturers, there are many famous masters who have been working with Chen Mo all these years. As for what they do, Chen Jin doesn't know much. After he abdicates this time, he should gradually understand in the future.

Maybe? This is the only fun for the old man.

Chen Mo sat beside Cao Cao's tomb until night. Then he got up and looked at Cao Xing, who was standing aside. Chen Mo asked, "Did Zixiu leave any last words before he left?"

"Your Majesty, my father passed away peacefully." Cao Xing shook his head: "He did not leave any last words."

"The grudges of the past? Many years have passed. Will the descendants of the Cao family try to enter the academy in the future? You should listen to the words of the predecessors, but don't think too much about what you shouldn't listen to? People should always live for the living."

Chen Mo nodded and said.

"I understand." Cao Xing nodded. In fact, although Chen Mo did not target the Cao family, when Cao Ang was still alive, the Cao family's children were determined not to join the officialdom, which also caused the Cao family to decline over the years and have long lost its original glory.

In 2001, Cao Xing was already allowing the young children of the Cao family to study in the academy.

Chen Mo didn't say anything more. After all, his main bond with the Cao family was Cao Cao and Cao Ang. Now that both of them are gone, the next generation doesn't have much to do with Chen Mo.

After living in Qiao County for two days, Chen Mo would go to Cao Cao's grave every day to talk to Cao Cao. Two days later, Chen Mo just left and returned to Luoyang.

In the next few years, Chen Mo did not return to the palace. After all, Chen Jin was here. However, Chen Min would take time to come to Beimang Mountain to visit Chen Mo and Chen Jin every year. Now the descendants of the Chen family are prosperous, and Beimang Academy The scale of the school is also growing. In the 33rd year of Kaiyuan, the fifth generation of the Chen family had children sent here. However, nowadays, Chen Jin is basically the one teaching the descendants of the royal family, while Chen Mo spends most of his time on research.

Especially after Wu Yi, Yu Sheng, and Cui Geng passed away one after another, Chen Mo basically had no worries outside.

In August of the thirty-fifth year of Kaiyuan, Chen Min, who had just left the court, was summoned by Chen Mo to come to Beiman Mountain. Although he did not know the reason, Chen Min did not hesitate and rushed to Beiman Mountain with his people.

"Father." The first person Chen Min saw was Chen Jin. The atmosphere in the academy today was a bit solemn.

"Let's go quickly." Chen Jin nodded and took Chen Min to Chen Mo: "Your grandfather has been waiting for a long time."

Chen Min didn't know why Chen Mo was looking for him, so he didn't ask any questions at the moment and quickly followed Chen Jin to the back of Beimang Mountain. A strong buzzing sound could be heard from a distance.

When Chen Min arrived at the back mountain, he saw a huge metal instrument in operation. In a huge water tank, white gas came out from the top from time to time. The roar came from there. The water tank was moved through a series of metal mechanisms. Operation, in front, there was a blacksmith operating the machine. No one was turning, but the huge machine was running on its own. Chen Min was stunned to see it.

Although the Ming Dynasty has continued to encourage the development of craftsmen in recent years, and various things have appeared among the people, Chen Min has never heard of such a mechanism that can operate on its own.

"Grandpa, this is..." Chen Min found Chen Mo and saw Chen Mo directing a group of craftsmen to use the huge equipment to make a long tube. Under the operation of the equipment, in less than half an hour, A long tube was made.

"Over the past few decades, hundreds of skilled craftsmen from all over the world have worked together to make it!" Chen Mo looked at the huge steam engine. He gathered hundreds of craftsmen from all over the world. After years of continuous research and attempts, he finally made the first steam engine, although it was only this. One machine cannot change anything, and it cannot strengthen the country, but at least it leaves a seed for future generations. I hope that such a catastrophe will not happen again. At least under the catastrophe, China will not be so miserable. This is the only thing Chen Mo can give now. Left behind by future generations.

Chen Min nodded in astonishment.

Then he saw Chen Mo pick up a long metal tube and turn the computer on in the distance.

"Bang~"

In Chen Min's shocked eyes, a wooden archery target in the distance instantly fell into pieces.

"Grandpa, this is..."

"Artillery!" Chen Mo threw the long tube to him and said: "Now it can shoot forty steps. It relies on the gunpowder made in the past few years. Within forty steps, all humans and animals will be killed. However, there should be room for great improvement. But these will depend on future generations."

Chen Min was so shocked that he couldn't speak. What on earth did his grandfather create in Beiman Mountain for more than thirty years? Is this the power of craftsmen? It's terrible.

"That's why I called you here today. These two things are the work of my father and hundreds of craftsmen in the second half of his life. They are also the author of 18 volumes of Tianji Lu. They will be handed over to you to take charge of this world later. Development is inseparable from craftsmen. Fortunately, we built this thing first. If other countries discovered it first, it would be a catastrophe for our country. In addition, steam engines can not only be used for this. We are included in the Tianjilu. According to the deduction, this thing can be used for boating, traveling, textiles, etc. for people's livelihood, Min'er."

"My son is here!" Chen Min quickly bowed and said.

"This Heaven's Secret Record is the foundation of a powerful country. The descendants of the royal family must study it carefully. It is the foundation of changing the times. But it is not yet time to come out. It can be controlled by the royal family first and it can strengthen the royal family. I have not set any plans for you in my life. There are rules, but today I have to leave one behind, that is, my Ming Dynasty has perished, but the records must be passed down, and future generations should remember them." Chen Mo looked at Chen Min and said in a deep voice.

Chen Min looked at Chen Mo in astonishment. Chen Mo had not left any rules for his descendants in his life, but he did not expect that the first one was about what happened after the country was overthrown.

After being stunned for a long time, Chen Min nodded silently, saluted Chen Mo and said, "Please remember this."

"Go ahead, I have sent the Tianjilu to the palace, and I will publish it in more copies. Every descendant of the Chen family must have a set, and pass it down from generation to generation. When the time is right, it can be circulated throughout the world." Chen Mo said with a smile.

"I obey." Chen Jin bowed respectfully to Chen Mo, looked at the huge instrument, his mind was still blank, and he left in confusion.

After passing down the Tianjilu, Chen Mo dismissed the craftsmen, who were brought into the Ministry of Industry by Chen Min. As for what happened next, Chen Mo didn't care about it anymore. He didn't have much time left, and he wanted to spend the last time in the only remaining place. On my wife.

In the thirty-eighth year of Kaiyuan, Sun Shangxiang finally passed away before Chen Mo. At this point, Chen Mo no longer had any worries in the world. In the thirty-ninth year of Kaiyuan, he seemed to have a premonition that his end was coming. On this day, Chen Jin visited the graves of his wife and mother. In the hut next to it, he worshiped the system gods for the last time. This time, he did not watch the future of the Ming Dynasty, nor did he watch the world deduction. This time, he watched the future of the human race. After the autobiography, Chen Mo still has some national destiny, and It has not been completely dispersed, and there is no use keeping the one hundred thousand national destiny. Chen Mo wants to see what the future of the human race will be like.

As the white fog dissipated and his consciousness returned to consciousness, Chen Mo became a bystander again, silently watching the development of the world. The human deduction seemed to be no different from the world deduction.

After his death, Chen Min did not change the era name. With the efforts of three generations of the Chen family, the Ming Dynasty entered an unprecedented prosperous age. Chen Min took the year when Chen Mo founded the country as the first year of Kaiyuan and established the Kaiyuan calendar. Since then, generations have been calculated according to Kaiyuan. Year number.

Chen Mo established a good tradition. When Chen Min was sixty years old, he felt unwell and passed the throne to his son. Based on the accumulation of the previous three generations, the fourth emperor of the Ming Dynasty further began to try to use steam engines in various industries. Chen Mo's Steam engines have been used in military industry since the 63rd year of Kaiyuan.

In the 78th year of Kaiyuan, artillery began to be promoted in the military. When the fourth emperor passed the throne, artillery was already widely used. Starting from the fifth emperor, he focused on promoting steam engines to the people to enhance people's livelihood.

In the 86th year of Kaiyuan, the first steel warship built by steam engines appeared on the shores of the East China Sea. In the 107th year of Kaiyuan, with the rapid increase in productivity, railways began to appear on the map of the Ming Dynasty. The fifth emperor did not follow The predecessor's approach was to pass the throne to his son until his deathbed. There was a small-scale fraud in the Ming Dynasty, but Chen Mo's sixth generation grandson was really good. He was so talented that he overwhelmed the officials and quickly took control. He inherited his father's ambition, continued to promote the use of steam engines, and began to pay attention to the opening up of new fields.

At this time, craftsmen have begun to be respected.

In the 127th year of Kaiyuan, with the completion of railways one after another, the Ming Dynasty truly entered the steam age, and at the same time, the Ming Dynasty's ships also began to explore new sea areas.

In the 136th year of Kaiyuan, the sea routes developed by the Ming Dynasty gradually spread all over the world, and trade was established with Daqin, Daxia and other places in the west. A large number of materials that were not available in China were introduced to the Ming Dynasty, and the use of electricity was gradually mastered.

In the 197th year of Kaiyuan, with the birth of the first generator, the development of Ming Dynasty began to accelerate. However, at the same time, people began to become dissatisfied with this feudal centralization system, especially in the distribution of resources.

It is the important reason that promotes the development of the times, but its social status is still the weakest among the five ministries even after so many years. Even the Ministry of Rites is superior to the Ministry of Work.

Moreover, with the increasing population and the continuous construction of new cities, the old county system has begun to fail to keep up with the times.

Six generations later, the Emperor of Heaven no longer followed Chen Mo's inheritance method at that time. After all, Chen Mo did not set this rule. The reason why subsequent generations followed it was because they recognized this method, but human nature is always selfish, especially the first generation.

Eight generations later, the father was mistreated by his son and died after passing the throne, which also completely cut off this inheritance method. As a result, the emperor began to be inferior to the previous generation.

Social conflicts began to become serious, the uneven distribution of resources and people's dissatisfaction continued to accumulate, but the emperor's ability was far inferior to that of the first generation of emperors, and even the Beimang Mountain Academy was abandoned.

Another hundred years passed like this, and by the 286th year of Kaiyuan, the royal family gradually lost control of various places. In the 307th year of Kaiyuan, warlords had become separatist. The Ming Dynasty had a population of nearly 600 million at that time, and the war

It finally broke out. This war lasted for nearly fifty years. In the year 347 of Kaiyuan, the war gradually ended and a new political system was formed. The Ming Dynasty existed in name only. However, because Chen Mo left his ancestral teachings, Tianji Lu was passed down.

All over the world, the reunified rulers were grateful for the seeds left by Chen Mo and their great contributions to the world. They did not get rid of the royal family, but established a new political system to retain the reputation of the royal family, but the royal family did not participate in running the country and retained the Kaiyuan calendar.

According to the chronological system, the world has entered a new era, which is different from any situation Chen Mo saw last time. It not only tolerates capitalism, but also limits the barbaric growth of capital.

It is still the same as Confucianism, but there are new changes, and the status of workers has also received the greatest recognition in this change.

After this battle, the Ming Dynasty regained its vitality and actually won the country for 347 years. For Chen Mo, this was not bad.

The Ming Dynasty, which had experienced changes, began to enter an era of ideological explosion. Over the next hundred years, airplanes, telephones, and televisions gradually appeared and continued to introduce new ones.

The Ming Dynasty in Kaiyuan 438 was no different from the developed civilization when Chen Mo deduced the world before. The emergence of Western industrial civilization was nearly a thousand years earlier than the last time he deduced the world.

"Being able to enter the industrial revolution early when neither the West nor the feudal system was perfected, I have to say that the first emperor of the Ming Dynasty was indispensable!" In the 477th year of Kaiyuan, Chen Mo's consciousness appeared in an interview variety show in Luoyang

, happened to be explaining the history, so he stopped curiously to see what to say.

"Chen Mo, Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, established the Ming Dynasty. Everyone is familiar with this. But if it is just like that, it is just like the Han Dynasty, which ended the troubled times. For the world, it is not a great achievement. The real achievement is Tianjilu!

"

“It is really unimaginable that Taizu of the Ming Dynasty at that time, when the entire social ideology was still focused on scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, had already foreseen the power of science, gathered all the craftsmen from all over the world, and spent more than thirty years to build the first steam engine.

And left behind the Book of Secrets. Many people may not have read this Book of Secrets. This is a book that is almost full of practical information. It almost predicted the development direction of science and technology in the next five hundred years. It even predicted the use of electricity and how we could have it.

Today's prosperous China owes a lot to Ming Taizu, and the Ming Dynasty still enjoys privileges to this day. It is precisely because of this that Taizu pointed the way for all mankind."

"Teacher, some Western historians recently believed that Ming Taizu could only be regarded as an inventor, but he was able to unify the country. This is used to prove that our military level at that time was insufficient. If a Western army had appeared in Ming Dynasty at that time, it might have led the world.

It is not the East but the West. What do you think about this?"

"I sit and watch."

"..."

"There are actually no ifs for what has happened. Besides, everyone only knows that Ming Taizu was an inventor, but no one knows that before he lived in seclusion in Beimang Mountain, Ming Taizu conquered the world for more than thirty years, fought fiercely with the princes of the time, and started from one place to another.

Starting from the first-level city, he fought all the way to the world. The works he left behind in his life were not many poems except Tianji Lu, but one article on polemics, which you should have learned in middle school. In terms of literary attainment alone, no matter how high it is,

But he was definitely one of the best at that time, but he paid more attention to practical work, and most of the books he wrote throughout his life were more practical. This is related to his origin. As for fighting, we don’t brag, just follow the way of war at that time.

, judging from the level of weapons, not to mention whether the West has the ability to bring troops to the territory of the Ming Dynasty, you must know that it took fifty years between the first steel ship and the discovery of the American continent, so

This question itself is not valid, and even if we fight, I don’t think Taizu, who has rarely suffered defeats in his life and is a god in military warfare, will lose."
