lucky!

Who is not?

Zhu Xianhai nodded with deep approval.

"I should be luckier."

He is indeed very lucky to be able to see the empire a hundred years later. This empire is more perfect than he imagined. He is very satisfied to be able to see all this.

"We're all very lucky,"

said the old man.

"So what are your plans for the future?"

"Well, Joanna is here at the company, so I don't have to worry too much. I think I..."

Zhu Xianhai said with a smile.

"I should still enjoy life and travel around the world while I'm young."

"You really should go shopping. You always have to see the foundation laid by Shizu. At that time, due to transportation constraints, Emperor Shizu did not have the opportunity to see this land and this great river and mountains. , now, if we have the chance, we should all go and take a look, after all, this was shot down by his old man."

The old man said to him meaningfully.

"If you come back in time, you can live in that house and just go there with your business card."

"Then there's no need. The old place will bring back too many memories."

Where is the house on the business card?
In fact, it was Zhu Xianhai's private residence. As the emperor, he had his own private residences in Zhongdu, Nanhua and Yingtian. They were among ordinary houses. He would sometimes spend a couple of days there like an ordinary person. God, with the woman I love.

Because of this, those places will remind him of the past. Sometimes... people need to learn to forget.

Nodding slightly, the old man said nothing.

Zhu Xianhai said to him again.

"In the future, you should take more care of yourself."

"you too……"

The old man opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything. He just smiled and left.

The moment the door closed, Zhu Xianhai's expression became a little melancholy.

Does he know?
Maybe, who knows?
But that doesn't matter anymore.

The important thing is that today, they have met, everything that needs to be said has been said, and the rest is their own business.

After the car started and left the garage, the old man took out a piece of paper from his pocket and silently looked at the contents on the paper. This was an overview of the development trend of smartphones. What attracted the old man's attention was not about artificial intelligence. Various "speculations".

"Who would have thought?"

Touching the writing on the paper with his hand, the old man's brow flashed with joy from the bottom of his heart.

Whether it's this word or what he said...

but……

Closing his eyes, the old man put the paper into his pocket. There were some things that he just needed to know.

Soon the car drove into the palace.

...There is no war, no famine, only modernity and civilization. This is what impressed Zhu Xianhai the most when he set foot on this land.

Africa, in another world, this land is shrouded in years of war, famine and natural disasters, but in this world, this land is one of the richest regions in the world.

"It's really hard to imagine that human beings can build such a large man-made river..."

Standing on the Ubangi River-Lake Chad Canal Dam, Catherine couldn't help but marvel.Not to mention her, even Zhu Xianhai, who was used to seeing the world, was stunned by the majestic dam.

"...The Grand Canal is 2432 kilometers long. It can transport 1000 billion to 1500 billion cubic meters of water from the Ubangi River to Lake Chad and East Africa every year. It can also provide hydropower to coastal areas. Although it seems that the amount of water transferred is huge, because The Ubangi River is the upper reaches of the Congo River, and only about 10% of the water in the Congo River is actually used. At the same time, the Grand Canal has also opened up a route to central Africa..."

When the tour guide not far away introduced the Grand Canal to tourists, Zhu Xianhai, standing on the dam, couldn't help but feel an inexplicable pride in his heart.

"Katherine, do you believe it? More than 100 years ago, before the Chinese came here, this place was just a wilderness. The people living here were not much different from the primitive people millions of years ago. They lived a life of being addicted to hair and drinking blood. Primitive and ignorant life, after our arrival, we brought civilization to this land, and we used modern technology to turn this barbaric land into the richest area in the world..."

How could Zhu Xianhai not be proud when mentioning these?

After all, he created everything.This is why he chose this place as the first stop on his global journey. He wanted to see this completely changed land and feel the changes here.

Looking at the boss with a proud look and tone, Catherine couldn't help but grinned and said.

"Yes, yes, you have changed everything here, but God knows that those primitive people have arrived there. It took you 100 years to change this land, but it only took a few decades to make the people here Aboriginal..."

Before she could finish speaking, Zhu Xianhai waved his hand and said.

"You do not understand,"

After that, he pointed into the distance and said.

"Those are all in the past. We have to face the future. Without the existence of this Grand Canal, how could Central Africa become the breadbasket of Europe?"

The central colony where Lake Chad is located does not belong to the empire, but to the French Empire. Tens of millions of people live there. In addition to French immigrants, there are also immigrants from various European countries. After all, for European countries, France’s The colony became its only option to relocate its surplus population. The arrival of tens of millions of European immigrants not only changed the land, but even created a new race of people, the "Mauros". The word comes from the ancient Greek word for brown. Skin people.It was the name given to North Africans in Roman times. The current Mauro people are the descendants of European immigrants and indigenous people.

Thanks to the efforts of tens of millions of Mauro people, the vast land in northern Africa has been turned into farms, and the fresh water transported by the Grand Canal has solved the need for irrigation water in the north, thus making the area the granary of France and even Europe.

"Last year, France's African colonies exported 1200 million tons of meat and 4500 million tons of wheat, corn and soybeans to Europe. One-half of every piece of meat eaten by Europeans came from this land."

Faced with this fact, Catherine could only shrug her shoulders weakly and then said.

"Hey, well, thanks to you, we Europeans can eat meat and drink milk..."

"This is a fact,"

As if to prove Zhu Xianhai's words, the tour guide not far away said to the tourists around him in a joking tone.

"...It is precisely because of the importance of the fresh water of the Grand Canal to agriculture in northern Africa that there is a saying that "once the canal locks are closed, the whole of Europe will starve." However, as we all know, this is impossible. After all, the Ming Empire and the French Empire are close allies like brothers..."

When passing by tourists, Zhu Xianhai took a special look at the tourists. From their appearance, it could be seen that most of them were Mauro people from northern Africa.What the Mauro people like most is to visit the Grand Canal, because the Grand Canal has a very special meaning to them.

Just walking on the Grand Canal Dam, while Zhu Xianhai was feeling the power of modern civilization with great interest, Catherine asked again.

"Then where should we go next?"

“East African National Parks,”

Zhu Xianhai laughed.

"The most primitive aspect of this ancient continent is still maintained there..."
