big dry son-in-law

Everyone present couldn't help but nodded.

Gongsun Wuji said: "After going through so many things, we are all able to drink together. I am really lucky.

It’s just that I’m done here, and many of my old friends are gone!

Did your father pass away peacefully? "

Du Youwei nodded, "Before my father died, in Xijing, His Majesty personally stayed in front of my father until he closed his eyes.

Your Majesty kept vigil for my father and arranged the funeral for me. My father is now buried in the imperial mausoleum. "

Gongsun Wuji nodded. In fact, he knew that whenever an old man left, Qin Mo and his son did a good job. Even when they were busy, they would take time to stay with them, observe filial piety, and organize funerals.

No one could tell that they were anything but.

That human touch seems to be back.

Although politics is still dirty and there are still struggles, it seems that the human touch has faded a lot.

Gongsun Wuji liked this feeling.

"I came to Daming and saw a lot of things I had never seen before. I never thought that a country could reach this level, but now I see it.

I saw the world as imagined by the ancient saints, and it was even better than they imagined! "Gongsun Wuji drank tea and told what he had seen, heard and felt these days.

Gongsun Chong also smiled and said: "Daming is different every day. If it weren't for doing business and going out every now and then, I definitely wouldn't be able to adapt.

I'm afraid you don't know yet. The Ming Dynasty invented something called the telephone, which will soon be popularized. Just like the telegraph, you can hear my voice thousands of miles away. If anything happens, you can be notified by just one phone call. , so convenient! "

Gongsun Wuji was stunned, "Is there such a thing?"

"Well, this was all studied by the scientists of the Royal Academy of Sciences. It is said that the technology has made a major breakthrough. Currently, calls within a hundred miles are very problematic.

I read the news and said that current telephones require a line. Once the line is unplugged, calls cannot be made.

In the future, the phone will not need to be plugged in. It will be a small one. Hold it in your hand and you only need to dial a number. No matter where you are, as long as there is a signal, you can answer the call! "

Everyone listened to Gongsun Chong's words and began to look forward to the future infinitely.

They didn't know how that little phone made any sound.

Gongsun Wuji said: "Diesel-combustion locomotives shorten the distance, and airplanes further shorten the distance in the world.

Telegraphs and telephones can infinitely compress the delay of messages.

Qin Mo is preparing for world unity. "

Gongsun Wuji said a key word, "World Harmony."

Duwei Wenyou praised: "This is a good word. I read it in the Xijing Daily and mentioned it many times. However, world unification is the big goal in the Centennial Plan. His Majesty said that if this goal can be achieved in the next three to fifty years, it will be considered a success. .

It can be seen that this goal is not so easy to achieve. "

Gongsun Chong said with a smile: "Nothing in this world can trouble that person, just follow him and believe in him.

Isn’t that all we can do? "

Du Youwei laughed, "Yes!"

Gongsun Wuji looked at his son and grandson. In their tone and eyes, there was no longer Daqian, but only Daming.

At this moment, he seemed a little lonely.

He seemed to think of his old self, who was so heroic and heroic, assisting Li Shilong to dominate the world. But now, those heroic deeds have long become a thing of the past.

It seemed that the smoke in the room was a bit dazzling. He took a deep breath and couldn't help but look up at the roof.

When he lowered his head again, his expression returned to normal.

He started to join in the conversation and talk about the future.

That night, Gongsun Chong was drunk, and Du Youwei was also drunk.

The next day, Gongsun Chong took Gongsun Wuji around the village and introduced his family's business, "Now His Majesty encourages us to do business. At the same time, in order to prevent us from using power for personal gain, supervision is also very strict. Once the red line is touched, , there will definitely be big trouble.

I think this is good. At least it is better than when I was working in Daqing. At that time, business was still secretive. Now everyone knows that you can live a good life by doing business.

Otherwise, if these hundreds of households follow me, they will have no choice but to work with their backs to the sky and their faces to the loess.

All year round, I can only earn enough for food and clothing! "

Gongsun Wuji snorted, "Da Ming is good, but Da Qian is bad, isn't it? Could it be that Ming was so good from the beginning and didn't it come through step by step?"

Hearing the dissatisfaction in his father's tone, Gongsun Chong reacted and said hurriedly: "Dad, that's not what I meant. I'm just feeling a little emotional."

Gongsun Wuji looked at the yellow and orange barley in the field and said, "What a good grain. When I came here, I saw many machines harvesting grain. What is that?"

"Harvesters are specially used to harvest grain, but they are very expensive. Generally only large farmers can afford them. Our family also has one. One machine costs thousands of taels.

But with this thing, sixty or seventy acres can be harvested in one day. In a few days, the food in the fief can be harvested.

There are also seeders and machines designed to spread pesticides.

Even now there is no need for manual pouring, there are automatic pouring equipment.

Planting now is no longer the same as before. "

Gongsun Chong was somewhat proud, "These are the most advanced equipment and are indeed very convenient to use, and the extra manpower can be moved to the other side to generate more revenue.

You see, everyone in my village has a small villa, and their life is so good. "

Gongsun Wuji suddenly felt angry, "Are you the only one who knows how to show off?"

Gongsun Chong didn't understand why his father suddenly got angry. He said: "Dad, are you too sensitive? Daqian is already a thing of the past. To the people, it doesn't matter who becomes the emperor.

As long as the people are fed and clothed, whoever is good will be a good emperor! "

Gongsun Wuji knew that his unknown anger was somewhat inappropriate. He couldn't help but sigh and lost interest in continuing to visit, "Yes, you are right, I am old-fashioned and nostalgic, so I don't want to see anymore.

No matter how good this thing is, can anyone do it better? "

After saying that, he snorted and left angrily.

Gongsun Chong also smiled bitterly. The older this little old man got, the more erratic his temper became.

No, old kid, old kid, isn’t that what it is?

Thinking about when I was a child, I was much more naughty than this.

He hurriedly caught up, "Dad, I was wrong. You were right to scold me. As human beings, we must not forget our roots!"

Seeing Gongsun Chong's submission, Gongsun Wuji's expression also softened, "I originally told you to go home and have a look, but now I see that you are living a good life here, so there is no need to go back!"

Gongsun Chong smiled bitterly and said: "I really can't leave, but if I have time, I still want to go back to my hometown to see those old acquaintances, and by the way, do some business!" (End of Chapter)
