The Nameless of the Common Clans

When Chen Mo woke up from his dream, there was still a bit of confusion in his eyes. Different from previous dreams, this time, what he saw in the deduction world had not disappeared from his memory. It seemed that he had really experienced thousands of years. Time later, he saw the re-emergence of China, the inheritance of China, and the roots of China were not cut off because of this. Instead, after the catastrophe, it only took a few decades to quickly catch up with the West.

The skylight outside the window has not yet come on. This thousand-year dream is actually here with Chen Mo. It is only one night, but the shock it brings to Chen Mo is far greater than ever before.

He even saw a more distant future. Human science and technology continued to explore beyond the earth, but was hindered by the inexplicable power of the universe. It was still unable to break through the solar system, and eventually resources were exhausted. After human beings experienced technological advancement, they were even about to reach a new unification. , entered the stage of self-destruction, and the war at that time was beyond Chen Mo's understanding.

"Huh~"

Exhaling hard, Chen Mo had confusion in his eyes. This thousand-year dream felt unspeakably depressing to Chen Mo. After watching the world deduction, he suddenly lost interest in Ming's future deduction. In the thousands of years of world evolution, the feudal system will eventually be overthrown. Before that, dynasties came and went, like a strange cycle. However, with the development of the times, the existing system of counties and counties, including those that later emerged, There is no way to achieve true perfection in various systems.

As for breaking the existing system like the West in the dream, Chen Mo never thought that the evolution of civilization requires a process. The premise for the success of the Western Industrial Revolution is that Western industry and technology have fully met the conditions for entering the industrial age. If a fuse is needed, the wave of the times will be set off.

Today's Ming Dynasty does not have such conditions. Even if Chen Mo uses his status as emperor to force the system to that step, it will only encourage the Ming Dynasty and accelerate the demise of the Ming Dynasty.

Even if Chen Mo wants to kill Western civilization, he can't do it now. The planes and ships in the dream may be able to reach any corner of the world in one day, but with Ming's current ability, even if he takes a boat, regardless of any external force, he can't do it. It will take several years to reach the western continent, and the vast sea area is not calm every day. If you want to cross the ocean to destroy the enemy, today's Ming Dynasty does not have the ability.

Chen Mo needs to sort out his thinking. How should Ming Dynasty develop in the future? The rise and fall of dynasties was inevitable in the feudal era, and it would be useless no matter how many back-ups Chen Mo left behind.

But this doesn't mean that Chen Mo doesn't do anything. It's okay if he doesn't know. Now that he has clearly seen the future direction, he wants to leave something for future generations, at least leave some seeds, so that future generations will not be in danger when the enemy invades. , not even having the strength to resist.

"Your Majesty, it's time to go to court." When the sky was dim, a eunuch knocked on the door and called softly.

"Yes." Chen Mo stood up, got dressed under the service of the palace maid, and began the first true morning court since the founding of the Ming Dynasty.

Handling official documents is a natural thing to do. No matter what the future holds, Chen Mo has to take care of people's livelihood now.

The next period of time was when the Ming Dynasty established its national policy. However, what was different from what he imagined was that the world was settled, but Chen Mo had no intention of cutting down his military strength.

It stands to reason that when the world is at peace, it is natural that swords and guns should be stored in the treasury, horses should be released in Nanshan, and the world can rest and recuperate. However, Chen Mo has always maintained military power on the border. The status of the Four Guards and the Five Guards is equal to that of the five ministers. This It's puzzling.

"Your Majesty..." After retreating from the court, Xu Shu did not leave. Instead, he came to Chen Mo and thought: "Now that the world has been settled, I will have four guards and five guards, plus county soldiers and county guards from all over the country. With millions of people, a lot of military expenditures are consumed every year.”

"Yuan Zhi thinks that these military expenditures are unnecessary?" Chen Mo asked with a smile.

Xu Shu nodded, he indeed thought so.

"Does Yuan Zhi know about Bai Deng's siege?" Chen Mo asked rhetorically.

Xu Shu frowned and said, "But now Xianbei is no longer in danger."

"What about a hundred years from now?" Chen Mo asked.

"This..." Xu Shu shook his head. Who can tell clearly what will happen a hundred years from now.

"Yuanzhi can regard the grassland outside the Great Wall as a country. They are not the only ones. In addition to Kangju, there are many powerful countries in the Western Regions, no less than our Ming Dynasty. To the east of the East China Sea, beyond the land of three Koreas, there is also the island country of Japan. You can say These are nothing to be afraid of, but People without long-term worries will have immediate worries, and the same is true for countries. Our Ming Dynasty can be powerful outside the region, all because our Ming Dynasty has a strong army. But if one day, our Ming Dynasty loses these, it will be stable internally, but it will be unstable externally. But it will inevitably become weaker, I don’t want to One day, I, the people of the Ming Dynasty, and my descendants of China, will be bullied by foreigners. Such a thing must not happen." Chen Mo looked outside the main hall and sighed after a long time: "Some things, it hurts to look too far. Yes, there are countless in this world The Nian Dynasty, after the Han Dynasty, I am afraid that it will be difficult for the dynasty to exist for two hundred years. Instead of guarding your own people, it is better to focus on the outside world. The world outside the Central Plains is so big that you cannot imagine it. In this world, the Central Plains is nothing more than drop in the ocean."

Xu Shu looked at Chen Mo with some confusion. She didn't know why Chen Mo expressed these emotions today. Isn't it time to govern the world now?

Chen Mo didn't explain much. In the next two years, Chen Mo worked hard like in the dream. Although Chen Mo started work and caused dissatisfaction among many people, the gentry forces had experienced the Guanzhong massacre, Jizhou massacre, and the decentralization of power in the Central Plains. Unable to fight against the imperial power, with Chen Mo's encouragement, the status of craftsmen has been slightly improved. Of course, the Ming Dynasty is still based on agriculture, but some workshops have begun to proliferate in various places.

However, something that made Chen Mo sad still happened. In March of the second year of Kaiyuan, Lu Bu passed away. This figure who represented the pinnacle of martial arts in an era beat Xianbei so hard that he did not dare to go south to herd horses. Chen Mo's few friends now, after all, Unable to escape the years, he passed away suddenly.

Lu Bu's death seemed to be a signal. The older generation of generals and counselors passed away one after another from the second to the third year of Kaiyuan. What saddened Chen Mo the most was his mother's critical illness.

"Mom, take the medicine." After learning that his mother was critically ill, Chen Mo put everything aside and used the crown prince to supervise the country and handle the government affairs. Chen Mo stayed with his mother day and night to take care of her.

"It's too hard. I don't have many days to live as a mother. Why should I suffer this?" Mother Chen shook her head.

"Mom, if you can say this, it means that the days are still long. Be obedient and take medicine." Chen Mo laughed and shook his head.

"Mo'er." Mother Chen finally drank the medicine, handed the bowl to Cai Yan aside, then looked at Chen Mo and said, "There is something you need to do for mother."

"Mom said." Chen Mo nodded.

Mother Chen looked at Heizi lying at her feet. Heizi was very old. He seemed to be dying at any time. Mother Chen sighed and touched Heizi's head. Heizi raised his head and rubbed Chen's mother's hand. Lying on the ground again.

"Can my son find a good home for Heizi? I don't want him to see his mother gone." Mother Chen said with a smile, "It will probably be sad, right?"

Chen Mo looked at Heizi and nodded silently. His mother had raised two dogs in her life, both named Heizi. The first one was taken by Chen Mo from Zheng Tu. When Chen Mo was away, he accompanied his mother for many years, and finally died of old age. Later, someone sent this sunspot. When it first came, it was only as big as a palm. So many years have passed in the blink of an eye. The little one in the past seems to have reached the end of his life.

"Don't worry, mother, I will send the baby to Yanshi soon." Chen Mo said with a smile.

"Um."

That afternoon, Chen Mo had someone prepare a carriage and send the confused Heizi to Yanshi. As for whether he would be treated harshly, that was impossible. Someone would take good care of him there.

This incident seemed to be the mother's last wish. On the second day, the mother, who was still in good spirits, never woke up again and passed away peacefully.

Chen Mo was in pain, but it was not as heartbreaking as when his teacher Zang Hong died. In the past few years, he had become accustomed to separation. Birth, old age, illness and death were the normal conditions in the world. He just silently helped his mother take care of the future, until the day of burial. , Chen Mo asked people to pick a cemetery in Beimang Mountain to bury his mother. It was not considered Longzhong, but there were a large number of relatives of the Chen family, both civil and military, who came to enjoy it.

Looking at his mother's coffin, Chen Mo's nose felt a little sore.

"Your Majesty, the time has come." The official responsible for measuring Feng Shui came to Chen Mo and said softly.

"Well, get ready..." Chen Mo nodded and was about to say something, but suddenly there were exclamations from behind. Chen Mo was a little dissatisfied. He rarely lost his temper, but disturbing his mother's funeral still gave him birth. Nameless rage.

Looking back, he was shocked to see a black dog rushing out of the crowd. The black dog was already very old, but it ran very fast. The soldiers in charge of the surrounding guards saw Chen Mo's eyes and quickly knelt down to apologize: "Your Majesty , humble and incompetent..."

Chen Mo waved his hand. He naturally recognized the black dog, but wasn't it sent to Yanshi?

Chen Mo watched as Heizi silently walked to his mother's coffin, sniffed it, and then lay down in front of his mother's grave without shouting.

"Heizi?" Chen Mo stepped forward and touched Heizi's head, but Heizi ignored him and just lay down in front of the coffin so quietly, as if he was asleep.

"Your Majesty, this... black dog is dead." A minister said softly after looking at it for a while.

"I know." Chen Mo stretched out his hand, brushed away the tears from the corner of his eyes, nodded and said: "Since it doesn't want to leave, let's bury it next to my mother's grave. With it by my side, my mother won't continue the funeral alone."

"Here!"

The funeral continued. Heizi's coffin was made temporarily and he was buried next to his mother's grave. After the funeral, Chen Mo dismissed everyone and knelt down in front of his mother's grave, silently...
