The road from Africa to Europe

Chapter 630 Wei Ba
The reason why I think so is because I remember that there is a festival called Thanksgiving in the New World. This festival has something to do with the people who immigrated to the New World. At the beginning, some believers and immigrants who were forced to leave their homeland took the Mayflower and sailed to the new continent.

After arriving in the New World, they encountered a big problem. Because they did not know the animals and plants of the New World, how the immigrants survived became a big problem. Even if they brought food, they could not bring too much. What should they do?
And the place where they landed happened to be an aboriginal tribe nearby, and the tribe members soon discovered that the immigrants whose skin color and hair color were completely different from the aboriginal people.

The aborigines were very curious about what these people were here for, and they didn't know who these people were. They secretly took some things they thought were interesting, but they definitely didn't want to have any violent conflicts with the exiles.

It happened that there was an aborigine who once left the New World with adventurers, and learned the outside language, and he also returned to his homeland together. Although he may not fully understand the tribe's language, he can communicate with each other's needs, and he has become a Translation, so the immigrants communicated with the tribes of the aborigines.

The tribe of the aborigines negotiated with those believers, and after knowing that the new immigrants were short of food, they specially gave some food to the exiles, and taught them how to grow them, so that the exiles had a chance to survive.

In the end, those immigrants, including exiles, gained a firm foothold in the New World and were able to survive. In order to celebrate their survival in the New World, there was a so-called Thanksgiving Day, part of which was to thank the aborigines for their help.

It’s just that with the passage of time, some problems that cannot be ignored gradually appeared between the Puritans and the aborigines, because they have completely different religious beliefs, and some of the immigrants started to make troubles. In their eyes, all pagans are It is with original sin.

During the period, a member of the tribe admired the exile with higher technology, directly abandoned his original religion and converted to the religion of the exile, so that person told the exile the secret of the tribe.

The members of the tribe were very angry when they found out about this incident. There was already a dispute over the territory. If another boy in the tribe told the other party about the actions of the tribe, it was inevitable that the tribe would suffer.

Because the behavior of the tribal believers completely betrayed the whole tribe, the tribal members finally killed the tribal traitor, and this aroused the anger of the exiles, feeling that the aborigines killed their believers, and the conflict between the two intensified.

In addition to this ideological collision, the relationship between the New World and the Ocean has not been reached by people from other continents for a long period of time, so that the entire New World is relatively closed.

This kind of closure makes them have different animals and plants from other continents, and also causes the evolution of the entire continent to be different from other continents, especially the changes in viruses are not as good as other continents.

After the successful arrival of the Mayflower, more people went to the New World one after another. In addition to bringing a lot of new ideas, they also let the natives of the New World who had never experienced smallpox encounter a virus with a high fatality rate, and even caused the New World to die. The last great empire fell.

So tragic!Obviously the aborigines are the original owners of the New World, but in the end they were slaughtered again and again by the people their ancestors rescued. Those descendants who were rescued even let people exchange the scalps of the aborigines for money. In the end, the population of the aborigines dropped sharply and became a minority. They were also moved from their fertile homelands to the most remote and barren places.

Ling Xiao thought for a while, let's leave a small warning to the natives of the American continent!Before those people came, don't be sold and count the money for others, this is too tragic.

She saved a few people by the way, and then left.I hope that their descendants will be better, and not become Mr. Dong Guo, making their descendants unlucky one by one.

In this way, Ling Xiao didn't alarm too many people, but she found an opportunity to watch the aborigines' empire from the sidelines. You must know that people in this empire like gold very much, but there are many good things that appear.

She didn't touch the things that belonged to them. Taking them without warning is a thief. She can find a lot of gold by herself, and take the raw materials to make a whole set of gold jewelry, which has a completely different style, even if it looks a bit Strange, but still has the quality of beauty.

She visited the whole New World and saw many hardworking and kind aborigines. As the masters of the New World, they lived very chicly. She rarely approached them because she didn't want to reveal her identity, unless it was some accident. But will leave soon.

I found a lot of good things along the way, especially some plant seeds unique to the New World. After some disinfection, I received them in a special package and planned to find a chance to bring them back.

After leaving the New World, I went to other continents and got some valuable woods, such as red sandalwood, rosewood, etc., as well as some spices and some grains.

In the end, Ling Xiao visited all the continents of the world. He went to see penguins, kangaroos, and places where Vikings were active.

The reason why she went there was that the operation of the Vikings was a bit like a berserker. Of course, she didn't see the real Vikings. No one would know where they were no longer robbers.

After returning from there, she went to the Far East, where the queen had not yet been born. It can be said that she returned to that small county after seeing the whole world.

She had been away for two years, and when she came back with a team of convoys, she happened to see Mrs. Seven leading the original owner and Wei San to enjoy the flowers together. Her sudden return surprised them all.

The original owner and Mrs. Song were overjoyed. Mrs. Song had been a little worried for the past two years, because she and the original owner were women, and Da Lang Erlang was a child, so she felt uneasy without a man who could be a pillar around her.

Even though the two sisters have fields and houses, they are still not at ease. Fortunately, with the seventh old lady by her side, the tenants dare not do small tricks, but they still miss Ling Xiao in their hearts.

Ling Xiao found that the original owner had grown up a lot, but the Song family was a little old, and it could be seen that she was more cautious.As for Wei San, he hasn't seen his whole body become more beautiful for two years, and he has a very good relationship with the original owner.

Generally speaking, the original owner lived more integrated into this place, as if he was in a duck's water, which made Ling Xiao a little relieved, it's okay!The original owner is living well now, and going out for a stroll by himself is still an important decision.

You must know that Ling Xiao knows that although she is a woman, but because of the different ages she lived in, her three views are fundamentally different. Her ideas are not very suitable for the original owner, and the original owner will continue to live.

If the original owner is too much like Ling Xiao, it will only make the original owner's life a lot of pain. The original owner is still a little girl, so she should not be able to bear too much pressure.

And the farthest distance between people is: even if two people are physically close, their minds are completely different, so there will be a lot of estrangement.

Ling Xiao had to leave, and entrusted the original owner to Mrs. Qi after confirming that Mrs. Qi was well-bred. After all, the three views between the two are still somewhat similar.

And although she has a woman's heart, her body has the appearance of a man. In this era where men and women are not intimate, even if they have a grandparent relationship, they cannot always educate the original owner.

Ling Xiao will never dig a hole for the original owner under the banner of anti-feudalism. The girl's reputation should be well protected. Even in modern times, romantic rumors can still kill people, let alone in ancient society.

It seems that it is not bad, the original owner not only has the subtle beauty of the ancient boudoir girl, but also has some of the free and easy of the present, which makes her stand out from the crowd.

Following Ling Xiao, she found that Song Shi was a little nervous, but she was still very gentle, but a little bit more vicissitudes, and she began to change, especially when she let go of her feet during this period of time.

Ling Xiao's actions made the custom of binding feet a lot less in the entire dynasty, because everyone suddenly discovered that the so-called little feet were not beautiful, but deformed. This kind of behavior is disgusting.

After the wind direction changed, people in big cities first began to oppose foot binding, and the news gradually got in the small places, and the standard of beauties changed again.

After discovering that the bound feet were not good, some people tried to let go of the former little feet, and found that even if they would not fully recover, at least they were much better than before.

After having the first one, there will be the second and the third one. Thousands of women began to let go of their feet. In the past two years, the custom of binding feet has been completely curbed.

Many women with bound feet began to let go of their feet, and Song also let go. She felt that she could walk a longer distance. Although it was still not as good as natural feet, it was much better than the three-inch golden lotus.

This kind of trend is a good thing for women who have never had their feet bound, so that they will not be directly labeled as an ugly woman.There are also some young women who have just bound their feet and suffered a lot less.

Of course, it's not all good news. Some women couldn't accept this change and committed suicide. The older they got, the more they were affected. Some people got used to having their feet bound, but found themselves being laughed at.

Binding feet has deceived many female compatriots, and some female compatriots are unwilling to accept the reality after becoming victims of footbinding. This kind of change is a kind of subversion for them.

Why!She feels sorry for those female compatriots who were forced to bind their feet, but she does not regret doing it.If it is not stopped, more female compatriots will suffer. In case of war, they will not be able to run away, and the bound feet must be stopped.

Ling Xiao got a lot of good things this time. She didn't sell them directly, but packaged them up and sold them. After she got a lot of money, what would she do with the money?Education must be strengthened again.

Ling Xiao thought for a while, should he make a name for himself?Of course, it's definitely not the reputation of alchemy, he doesn't want to become a high-ranking person in the eyes of some emperor or prince, and then get him to the capital with a will.

This is completely a disaster for the original owner. I remember that Tang Bohu was very unlucky to get involved in the fraud case in the examination room, and then because of his talent and fame, he was missed by a certain prince, which caused him to achieve nothing.

The princes of this dynasty are troublesome things. As an emperor, he doesn't know what's going on. He has no children from time to time and has to adopt the heirs of other kings.

In addition, King Yan ended up grabbing the throne, and the original emperor—his nephew was missing. It was King Yan's behavior as an example that made some princes ambitious.

The matter between the emperor and the prince is an internal matter of the Zhu family, and as a person involved in it, it is most likely to become cannon fodder. She herself is not afraid, but the life of the original owner cannot be affected.

She decided to be careful, and not to be too famous, some things just do her best, and others can leave some sparks for others, which will bring some good changes.

Ling Xiao thought for a while, and thought of a not-too-small mountain near the county seat, and decided to build a Taoist temple in this place. Of course, this Taoist temple belongs to her personally.

Ling Xiao planned to live in the Taoist temple under the banner of Qingxiu in the future, and then she adopted a few children. She didn't intend to let them become spies, but to make them successful in their studies.

Of course, the number is not too much, because if there are too many, she is afraid that others will think too much. These children are all picked up, and some children are disabled. .

In addition to these things, there is another thing that is mentioned in the most important position, and that is the marriage of the original owner. Even if the marriage is to be delayed, the engagement must still be made.

After getting along with each other for these years, Mrs. Qi took a fancy to the original owner. At first, she was a little worried that the original owner belonged to Bigfoot, not the Three-Inch Golden Lotus, and she might be humiliated when meeting relatives and friends.

But what she didn't expect was that the little feet had become yesterday's yellow flowers a few years ago, and now her original worries did not exist. She also felt that the original owner was very suitable for these years, and wanted to follow her grandson Wei Ba to marry the original owner.

Ling Xiao also inspected this child, and his knowledge is still good. This smiling young man belongs to the kind of person who can see through, so he doesn't plan to take any further imperial examinations.

Ling Xiao didn't agree with this very much. These days, there are no famous people who will be bullied. Even if they don't plan to go to the capital to participate in the examination of Gongshi and Jinshi in Chunwei, they still have to take the examination of Juren, and at the very least they want to be a scholar.

If there are no scholars, I'm afraid they don't have the right to speak in their seven rooms, "You don't want your wife to attend clan gatherings and be pointed at by those scholars and ladies?"

After hearing Ling Xiao's words, Wei Ba was stunned. He had never thought about these things. He has always liked painting very much, so naturally he didn't care about this issue.

After Ling Xiao came out, he had an idea and decided to take the exam, because the members of the Wei family really needed more people to support them, and he really should have further ideas.

Mrs. Qi was very happy to know that Wei Ba had always been very thoughtful, but she changed after being pointed out today. Only then did Mrs. Qi know that this Taoist priest also had a lot of research on Confucian classics.

Wei Ba talked with Ling Xiao for a while, and only then did he know this person's ability. He knew that many Taoist priests were capable before, and now after seeing Ling Xiao, he found that they are indeed very powerful.

"I know you don't like this officialdom, and I don't like it either, because there are too many people who completely forget their original intentions after becoming officials and do very bad things for personal gain.

So if everyone doesn't care, you will find that one day you can't even make a sound.You don't have to like it, but you absolutely can't just ignore it, or you'll find out that you've been tricked into it after something happens. "Ling Xiao said.

The reason why she said this was because she found that Wei Ba didn't understand it, but didn't like it. If he was the kind of person who couldn't understand it at all, Ling Xiao wouldn't talk about these issues with him at all.

In fact, Wei Ba really belongs to the kind of person with ideas, but he doesn't want to go into the muddy water, but living in this world, he always has to face ups and downs, so it's better to have a certain sensitivity to officialdom.

Also, she could feel that it was impossible for Wei Ba to become a loyal minister of the emperor, because he could see clearly that a person who could become a wise emperor has been busy with his own private affairs these years, and he didn't even go to court for a few days.

The emperor has been strengthening the imperial power, but he trusts the crony ministers most. For example, the father and son of the power ministers who fell a few years ago, they did not reply to the normal demands of the courtiers, and let the treacherous ministers do whatever they want in the court.

The two of them knew in their hearts that the emperor probably thought that no matter whether he was a loyal minister or a treacherous minister, he needed the emperor to make adjustments, so he could naturally sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight.

Seeing that one side is weakening, the emperor will increase the bargaining chips for that side, so that the two factions will continue to fight endlessly. In the end, the emperor will be the emperor, and both sides will have the emperor as the referee.

In the battle, many people will die on both sides, completely disregarding right and wrong. This kind of emperor is really annoying. Speaking of which, the emperor is indeed smart.

It's a pity that his cleverness is used to calculate others, and he doesn't care about other people's life or death at all. This kind of emperor didn't make Ling Xiao feel that he didn't need to be loyal.
