Chapter 227

God Bless for 34 years, on the streets of Beijing.

"Morning Professor Bao."

"Professor Bao, have you had breakfast? You can take some steamed buns home and try them out."

Bao Changnian helped Fugang's presbyopic reading glasses, and smiled kindly and gently: "I've eaten, so I won't trouble you."

This is Bao Changnian’s daily routine for the tenth year after his retirement. He lectures on history and politics at Shangjing University. Although he is over 70 years old this year, his enthusiasm for lectures has not diminished at all, and he can guarantee at least three major lectures every week. .

On the side of the road, a black car stopped.

"Meng Li, I haven't seen you for a long time." Bao Changnian stood straight in front of the car leaning on a cane, and Meng Li opened the rear door for him.

"Grandpa Bao is good."

Meng Zhiqian sat in the back seat of the car, saw Bao Changhou and smiled: "But you are the only one missing."

"Have you brought all the fishing rods and baits?" Bao Changnian worriedly asked a few more words, "I don't want to be like Mr. Jiang."

"You can be at ease."

Bao Changnian walked into the car and found that Meng Zhiqian next to him was still flipping through a newspaper: "What's the big news recently that attracted your attention so much?"

"It's nothing, but His Majesty intends to abolish the Tianyou calendar, unify the world's calendar, and use the year when the United Nations was established as the first year of AD, and so on, so that it will be convenient for future generations to record in history books."

"This is a bit of the Emperor Qin's style of unifying weights and measures." Bao Changnian stroked his beard, "Looking at it for a long time, it is a good thing."

"But ordinary people are used to God's blessing, and they may not be willing to change it." Meng Zhiqian continued to flip through the newspaper while speaking, "Have you heard that His Majesty seems to have plans to abdicate recently, and this matter has caused quite a stir in the court. sharp."

"Your Majesty didn't retire last time because there was no heir. In order to solve this problem, she has been busy with system reforms, propagandizing new ideas, and constantly reducing imperial power." Bao Changnian analyzed clearly, "This is the plan even if there is no royal family. With the existence of the country, the country can also operate on its own, so that it is convenient for His Majesty to escape."

"Okay, I'm not as thorough as you in this aspect." Meng Zhiqian closed the newspaper forcefully, "I heard that Beijing University has set up a new thought research group, and you are the professor in charge? Do you think it's suitable for me to go in and listen?"

"You can join if you want, but the fish caught today..."

"It's all yours!"

"Deal." Bao Changnian smiled with satisfaction.

The car was galloping fast on the asphalt road, and Meng Li drove the car with a focused expression. It took about half an hour to drive to a lake suitable for fishing.

In addition to the two of them, there are many old people who come to fish in loose clothes, and there are quite a few families who come to play together.

Meng Li asked his friends to reserve a seat in advance: "Grandfather, Grandpa Bao, I will come here to pick you up before you."

"The Shengong Bureau is also busy. Are you busy with the plane test flight recently? Can you spare some time? If you can't, call someone to Shangjing University to call Driver Li to come and take us away."

"It's okay, I can catch up."

After Meng Li left, the two of them settled down and started fishing, chatting about important matters in court from time to time.

Looking at Meng Zhiqian's absent-minded appearance, Bao Changnian suddenly asked, "Are you worried about what will happen after His Majesty abdicates?"

"See it?"

"Haha, why worry about these things, if His Majesty really wants to do something, no one can stop him."

"That's right." Meng Zhiqian smiled wryly, as if he didn't really want to talk about this topic, "Have you ever heard about Sheng Yuan Taishanghuang?"

Bao Changnian recalled: "Didn't he go to Guangdong more than 30 years ago?"

"Last year, the imperial court named [-] Zhenhai generals, and his pseudonym 'Sheng Shi' was among them."

Bao Changnian was stunned, feeling a little unbelievable: "He was made a general?"

"I had the same reaction as you. When I knew it was him, I looked through the past resume. He has participated in many sea defense battles over the years, and he was also in the attack on Minmi. Ten years ago, he was the leader of the main army to attack the colonial country. He also captured a few enemy generals alive, and his military achievements in personal experience are almost full."

"People change anyway."

Bao Changqing sighed.

……

Xu Youxi has also been quite distressed recently. She seems to have tricked herself again. The delegation of the common people that she had worked so hard to set up a few years ago solemnly rejected her application for abdication in these two days.

It is said that at that time, four-fifths of the people present at the meeting voted against it, and most of the rest were abstentions, which caused her wish to retire at the age of 50 to be ruined again.

There is no way, Xu Youxi is not the kind of person who will give up easily, she started to mention the matter of abdicating once a year, and it has been mentioned for three full years.

In fact, Daqian can run smoothly now with or without Xu Youxi, at most she is just pointing the way when encountering key issues.

It took Xu Youxi a month to hand over the matter in hand. She only brought Yu Xue Jing, who also just retired, with her on this trip.

The first is domestic travel. Wherever Xu Youxi goes, he will take pictures and write travel logs there, and write letters to Shangjing every few months to report his safety.

It took two years to travel all over Dagan, and Xu Youxi planned to go on a world tour again. The planning of overseas travel routes was planned with the help of retired Rong Yingran, and they were mainly based on countries with relatively good travel environments.

After Xu Youxi arrived in Guangzhou, she met Xu Shengshi whom she hadn't seen for several years, and hugged her.

"If you encounter trouble outside, you can go to the embassy to find our people, or ask the tide merchant to deliver the news." Xu Shengshi urged.

"rest assured."

"All the way... be safe."

"Ah."

Xu Youxi has traveled to many places, and Dagan Bank has also opened all over the world. Although every country has its own bank, many foreigners will even trust the reputation of Dagan Bank even more.

Dagan's language is being learned all over the world.

The more economically developed the country, the more local people who can use Chinese proficiently. More and more countries have begun to add Chinese to the compulsory subjects of school education.

Under the order established by the United Nations, all parts of the world ushered in a rare and long-term peace. The economy and technology of all countries have undergone leap-forward changes under the guidance of Dagan.

Wherever he goes and writes, Xu Youxi is motivated to write his own "Four Seas Chronicle", so that the big-gan people know how big the world is.

At the end of "Four Seas", she wrote a small line: "Everyone will grow old, but I can choose to be an elegant and well-informed old lady."

Many years later, this book was published, but posterity added at the end of this sentence:

"Whether you take the crown or not, you are the only king in Daqian."
