The mysterious bird of destiny, the beginning of China

Chapter 350 Extra : Changes in the World

She thought again of the past when she established the Tong Kang Hui, when many poor families followed her. They worked very hard to establish a real Tong Kang Hui and a Ming Dynasty that belonged to the Tong Kang Hui.

They would even rather starve themselves than give the extra food to those in need.

It was also at that time that people began to pick locust flowers on a large scale and unexpectedly discovered how delicious they were.

But now, those beautiful days have become history and can never be returned.

Shi Miaorou was silent for a moment, looked at the bustling snack street, and then slowly walked in again. Various hawking sounds were heard incessantly, and various aromas filled the nose, making people salivate.

But Shi Miaorou did not buy anything else. She just took a quick look and then thought with some surprise:
"Four hundred years later, people's lives are indeed better than four hundred years ago, and the streets are so lively."

"After all, when you left Ming, the Ming at that time had just consolidated its overseas territories and had not yet been fully explored."

"For example, the delicacies of overseas territories that were not available in the Ming Dynasty were also discovered by the people during these four hundred years, and then studied and different delicacies were created."

"indeed so……"

Shi Miaorou looked at the delicacies sold by the vendors around her. Many of them she had never seen before. A lot of things had indeed changed in these four hundred years.

It also made Shi Miaorou completely transformed into an ancient person.

However, Shi Miaorou did not feel any psychological gap because of this, and even thought that it should be so.

"Thank you for bringing me to four hundred years later..."

At this moment, Shi Miaorou truly felt the beauty of the world four hundred years later. It satisfied her imagination of the future of the Ming Dynasty and allowed her to see many things.

"Now is just the beginning..."

Bai Zhi said.

"Too."

This is just the beginning. Next, I should see more things four hundred years later and experience different things.

Shi Miaorou strolled in the snack street for a while, but did not stay there for too long and did not buy anything. When she walked out of the snack street, she unexpectedly walked into a shopping mall.

The sight of the shopping mall with a floor as smooth as a mirror and surroundings as clean as new attracted Shi Miaorou's attention even more.

The bright lights reflected brightly on the smooth floor. Shi Miaorou looked around. Everything was so new.

After entering, there were shops on both sides, but most of the shops on the first floor sold clothes. Shi Miaorou walked over and couldn't help but look at the clothes that people four hundred years later would wear.

Most of the people in the mall are beautiful young women dressed nicely. There are also couples, families of three, or students from nearby.

Shi Miaorou looked at it for a while and couldn't help but sigh: "I didn't expect that the clothes people wear nowadays are so exquisite, and the fabrics are so good..."

Shi Miaorou had once been involved in the running of a country, and was more concerned about food, clothing, housing and transportation, so she sighed like this.

Then, Shi Miaorou walked to the second floor.

“Watch out for the escalator!”

At this moment, someone beside her suddenly reminded her. Shi Miaorou quickly stopped and looked to the side.

But next to him was a young man, but his face was still immature, he must be a college student nearby. At this time, he was looking at Shi Miaorou with concern.

Shi Miaorou couldn't help but look down, and found that she was about to walk onto a black staircase, but the staircase seemed to be able to move by itself.

The young man glanced at Shi Miaorou and seemed a little puzzled, because in his opinion, Shi Miaorou didn't seem to know what an escalator was.

After all, we live in this era, who hasn’t seen an escalator?

"Thank you."

Shi Miaorou thanked him quickly, then carefully stepped onto the moving ladder and quickly stood still.

I saw myself starting to move automatically, slowly rising and moving towards the second floor.

She looked at the elevator under her feet in surprise, full of curiosity, and couldn't help asking Bai Zhi in her heart, "Is this elevator also driven by a steam engine?"

"Steam engine..."

Bai Zhi explained: "It's not a steam engine..."

Later, Bai Zhi recalled: "The Ming Dynasty had already started the Industrial Revolution four hundred years ago, and not long after your death, the Ming Dynasty started the Second Industrial Revolution. Each industrial revolution was separated by a long period of time."

"But two hundred years ago, the Ming Dynasty started the third revolution, which was called the electrical industrial revolution. If we calculate carefully, the current era should be the fourth industrial revolution... the information industrial revolution!"

"I see……"

Shi Miaorou was silent for a long time, as if she was digesting this information. She walked down the escalator, stood to one side and looked back at the escalator, saying: "In this case, the Ming Dynasty must have worked very hard in the past four hundred years..."

After all, in her opinion, it was already so difficult to start the first industrial revolution when she was still governing the Ming Dynasty, and how much more difficult were the subsequent industrial revolutions.

Bai Zhi didn’t know what Shi Miaorou was thinking. If he knew, he would smile and say: The first industrial revolution was the most difficult.

“What powers those escalators?”

Shi Miaorou asked.

"electricity."

"electricity?"

Shi Miaorou didn't know what electricity was, but it was enough for her to know that it was electricity that made the escalator move.

Then she drew inferences from her experience, looked at the bright and various scenes in the entire mall, and said, "So, the lights in this mall are also powered by electricity, including all the lights outside..."

"Yes."

Shi Miaorou tried her best to familiarize herself with these times before looking at the shops on the second floor.

The decoration on the second floor of the shopping mall is undoubtedly more exquisite.

Most of the shops on the second floor are for children, such as claw machines, small playgrounds, toy stores, stationery stores, etc. There was even a mini train slowly passing by Shi Miaorou, and on the train were many children.

The happy laughter of children echoed in the mall, and it did not feel noisy. Instead, it felt very warm and harmonious.

Shi Miaorou quietly watched the train go away until it turned a corner and disappeared from sight. Only then did she reluctantly look away.

"The Ming Dynasty today is truly a prosperous era!"

"Yes!"

Bai Zhi also sighed at the right time. His figure had disappeared on Shi Miaorou's shoulder. He hid himself in the void when he entered the mall. After all, a swallow entering the mall was so eye-catching.

Shi Miaorou walked forward and when she saw a claw machine shop, she was attracted by the various cute dolls and walked in.

There were already some people inside. What surprised Shi Miaorou was that most of the people inside were not children, but young men and women around 20 years old.

"Girl, would you like to play for a bit? Thirty dollars and fifty coins, you can play as much as you want..."

Shi Miaorou hesitated for only a moment, then took out money from her sleeve and bought fifty coins.

Holding a small basket containing game coins, Shi Miaorou did not rush to play. Instead, she observed from the side. After watching others play for a while, she went to play herself.

She inserted three coins and then began to control the machine to grab the puppet. The machine's loose grip seemed to have no strength at all. Perhaps it was because of Shi Miaorou's cautious and cute appearance, as well as her ancient costume, that she attracted the attention of people nearby.

Under Shi Miaorou's control, the robotic gripper grabbed a pink doll, slowly lifted it up, and then moved towards the exit.

"Bang!" The first goal wins!

Shi Miaorou succeeded in catching it the first time!

Shi Miaorou also showed a happy smile on her face, and she quickly bent down to take her spoils in her hands.

Seeing Shi Miaorou's beautiful smile, the people around her also started laughing.

Maybe smiles are contagious.

Next, Shi Miaorou tried a few more times, but her luck was not as good as the first time. In the end, when she had used up all her fifty game coins, she had only caught five dolls.

"Let's go!"

After playing the game of catching dolls for a while, Shi Miaorou walked out of the toy store and went to the third floor.

However, the third floor was full of shops selling food, but Shi Miaorou took a quick look around. She had eaten a locust flower cake outside before, so she didn't feel very hungry, so she just walked around.

The fourth floor also has restaurants and shops, so Shi Miaorou continued walking towards the fifth floor.

"cinema?"

On the fifth floor, Shi Miaorou finally stopped in a rather large hall. Looking at the words above, a look of confusion appeared on her face.

“That’s where the movies are shown!”

“It’s like opera.”

Bai Zhi explained.

Seeing the curiosity and interest on Shi Miaorou's face, Bai Zhi asked again: "Why don't you go in and take a look?"

"May I?"

Shi Miaorou was puzzled. After all, after a tour, she understood that in this era, one needed an identity certificate to buy anything. And what identity certificate did she, a person who lived four hundred years ago, have?

"Don't worry, I'll take care of it, you just pay for it."

"it is good……"

Shi Miaorou walked in doubtfully. After she bought the ticket, she walked into the cinema smoothly without checking her identity credentials throughout the whole process.

Shi Miaorou knew that this must be the help of the divine bird.

"What movie did you watch?"

"What's it called? 'The Wandering Earth 9'..."

Shi Miaorou looked at the movie ticket and then answered.

"Is it already nine?"

Bai Zhi couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, then he sat next to Shi Miaorou and prepared to watch the movie.

This was his first time watching a movie in many years, and it was a movie series that he had watched before.

……

Li Qingzhao raised her head and withdrew her gaze from the book, only to see that there were more people in the Tianji Pavilion, and they were all looking down at the books in their hands.

She thought and digested what she read in the book.

"I didn't expect it to be like this..."

Li Qingzhao showed a faint smile on her face. On the pages of the book she was reading, the words "History of China" were written.

And what she read was the history after the Song Dynasty.

What made her sigh was the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, because the book recorded a famous figure, the founder of Tongkang Society and the founder of the Ming Dynasty - Shi Miaorou!

While she was getting to know Shi Miaorou, the book actually saw her own name as well.

This is because the book he wrote in his later years was actually passed on to Shi Miaorou by a divine bird. Perhaps it was because of this that the Tongkang Society came into being!
"Thank you, bird god..."

Li Qingzhao murmured softly.

After learning about the Ming Dynasty from historical books, Li Qingzhao was full of confidence in the world today. "It seems that China today will really become a permanent dynasty!"

Isn't this exactly her original dream?
At that time, he was disappointed with the corruption of the Song Dynasty, so he could only write down his thoughts and let the divine bird find the destined person in the future and pass it on to that person!

And who is the destined one?

Li Qingzhao already knew it if she stood in his shoes.

"Isn't this exactly what we agreed upon?"

Bai Zhi's voice suddenly rang out, and then a swallow appeared on the desk, but only Li Qingzhao could see it.

"Yes, this is what we agreed upon!"

Li Qingzhao smiled and said, "But the divine bird obviously did a better job. It not only helped Shi Miaorou, but also created the world I longed for to a certain extent!"

"maybe!"

Bai Zhi saw Li Qingzhao close the book, as if she had finished reading, and then he said again: "It's time to light the lamps now, do you want to go out for a walk and taste the delicacies of this era?"

"That's great."

Li Qingzhao nodded slightly with a smile on her face, then stood up, returned the book in her hand, and finally walked out of Tianji Pavilion.

However, when it was about to leave the Tianji Pavilion, it suddenly stopped and asked, "I wonder if the book I compiled is still there?"

"It's natural."

Bai Zhi knew that Li Qingzhao was talking about Yi'an Dadian, "But it has also become a national cultural relic and is treasured and preserved by the country today."

"As for the copies, I don't know how many tens of thousands of them have been published!"

"That's good."

When Li Qingzhao heard this, her steps became lighter and she walked out of Tianji Pavilion.

Li Qingzhao did not say goodbye to Gong Yue, who brought her here. After all, she also had her own life, and she just came here to experience it. Perhaps from now on, they would no longer have any intersection.

In order to avoid unnecessary separation, Li Qingzhao left here directly. Of course, she also told the staff in Tianji Pavilion that she was leaving and they didn't need to worry about her.

Li Qingzhao looked up at the night sky outside. Although there were tall buildings in the city, neon lights were flashing, and there were all kinds of lights on all sides, when she looked up, she could also see the sky full of stars.

The bright stars dotted on the night sky add a unique charm to the city.

Li Qingzhao suddenly asked:
"In today's world, is it possible for anyone to go to heaven?"

"Have!"

Bai Zhi nodded, "The Chinese people have already established a base on the moon. There should be more than a hundred Chinese people on the moon now!"

"As for Mars... also known as Yinghuo, someone has already gone up to take a look!"
