Wang Shan was ecstatic, looking up to the sky and roaring.
"Hahaha, I succeeded!"
"Okay, I won!"
"I not only want to be the emperor of this island, but also the emperor of the whole world!"
Then the next moment, he "pounced" with a knife, and he stared at the person next to him in shock.
That's his dead man.
No, if you look closely, it's not that. It's an orphan adopted by the dead man.
"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, this world will never need an emperor!" the orphan said harshly.
"What are you doing?" The dead soldier looked at his adopted child in horror, and then looked at his master.
The master fell down, his eyes wide open, and he fell down very unwillingly.
"I, I died so carelessly..."
"I have overcome so many difficulties, and yet I died at the hands of someone I thought was loyal."
"Killing you is to eliminate harm to the world!" the orphan said righteously.
"Cheng Ming, what did you do?"
"You bastard, the master saved you, I saved you!" the dead soldier said angrily.
Pull out the knife and put it directly on the opponent's neck.
"You saved me, this is a small kindness, but I killed an emperor for the sake of the whole world, for the righteousness of all mankind!" Orphan Cheng Ming took a deep breath and said stubbornly.
"You, you, who taught you these things?"
"I learned it from Nanren College. They gave us compulsory education and let me know what is the righteousness of the world."
"It is the most evil thing in the world to let people support one person for no reason! Killing and cruelty are nothing compared to the evil of it!" Cheng Mingyi said righteously.
"What he said seems to make sense."
"Yes, father, why are you loyal to him inexplicably?"
The dead man wanted to kill Cheng Ming, the orphan he had adopted.
However, he found that he couldn't do it.
People have feelings.
Even if it is a dog, it will not be willing to part with it after a long time.
Especially this dead soldier is still old.
Unlike when I was young, I don't kill living things decisively.
And suddenly, he felt that the shackles in his mind disappeared.
There is no need for him to avenge Wang Shan.
Yes, Wang Shan has given him nothing, so why should I be loyal to him?
Cheng Ming is usually very filial to himself.
He still remembered that he had a high fever on a snowy day.
His own son was too sleepy to scream, so Cheng Ming desperately carried him to the clinic and contacted the doctor.
And what did Wang Shan give him?
Nothing was given.
He also asked himself to abandon his family business and live on this desert island. This is simply outrageous.
He then put down the knife and said to the child: "That's right, Cheng Ming, I should no longer be loyal to him."
"Let's all go back and take his body back to the new Ming Dynasty."
The crowd then cheered loudly.
"Yes, go back to New Daming."
"That's right, my land is going to be acquired."
"I have to go back early. My company will go bankrupt without people."
…
When Wen Rensheng saw this, everyone was stunned.
Yes, even he didn't expect it to unfold like this.
Okay, that's an exaggeration.
In fact, he had already thought about this possibility.
However, the probability is too low.
But if you think about it carefully, it makes sense.
In another time and space, were there still few enlightened people who assassinated those feudal ministers?
They would rather give up their noble origins than drag the corrupt to death together.
But now, it is natural that this orphan, who has received a new education from the southerners and gained a new understanding, should have the same awareness.
It’s just that there are very few such people.
But having said that, this was Wang Shan’s own choice.
He chose the kind of loyal person.
And this kind of people are the easiest to realize.
After they receive new education, they are absolutely unwilling to return to the old-fashioned life.
Emperor, what is it?
With it, everyone will feel a dark cloud above their head.
Because this thing is the only existence in the peaceful era that can, legally speaking, take away anyone's life without any consequences.
Although in practice, it is impossible to accomplish this situation.
But I have to say that it can do this to a considerable extent.
If you can't kill the ministers, can you also kill the eunuchs and slaves?
One eunuch and a maid who were in a bad mood and were beaten to death were too many.
Later, it was subject to various restrictions and even became a mascot.
In fact, he is no longer an "emperor".
However, just by looking at Wang Shan's appearance, the orphan knew that he wanted to be the "Emperor" with real power.
Is this good enough?
Naturally, he decisively killed the opponent.
Southerners should be grateful to Cheng Ming.
It was Cheng Ming who prevented the world from starting another war.
This can be regarded as evidence that a small person changed big history.
"You have seen with your own eyes that the long river of history changes its direction because of a grain of sand, and you have understood a little bit of the mystery of the long river of history."
"Your mystery level increases by 2,000 points to 204,000 points."
Not bad, not bad.
Wen Rensheng was very satisfied.
Look again at the system that has become lonely in the void.
He just wanted to laugh.
This thing is life-changing for any time traveler.
But for him, who has initially grasped the mysteries of time and space, it is actually just a virtual tool.
He doesn't need this thing, and it can't provide any help.
However, it can be used as a reward for the orphan named Cheng Ming.
…
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully binding the Emperor’s Counterattack System, and a gift pack for newbies will be awarded.]
Cheng Ming is sitting on the boat.
He listened blankly to the voices in his head.
What is this?
Wait, is this the system in the novel that someone in the Southern College occasionally passed on privately?
He knew that this was a statement from some southern generations.
I heard some people say that they often say words that are difficult to understand, such as "travelling, system, cultivating immortality, golden finger".
He has also read some novels written by three generations of the South, and they all contain elements.
Naturally, he didn't know that this was because some time-travelers were tired of playing in real life and missed their previous online articles and games.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! So people directly started customizing novels for them to read...
A book costs 50,000 or 100,000, and some of them are written by people.
And don’t worry about eunuchs…
Of course these were all copied privately.
He looked fascinated.
Sometimes I feel like I am the protagonist in a book.
Both parents died, and the orphan started the game, adopted by a mysterious force, waiting to go down the mountain...
Now it's time to go to sea.
And there is also a golden finger, he is a proper protagonist.
For a moment, he went from confused to excited.
But he still firmly remembered the key points in the novel: when you have Goldfinger, you must keep a low profile...
So he pretended as if nothing had happened.
Then the system began to pour a series of information into my mind.
He got it.
This is a system that makes people become emperors.
【I don’t want to be an emperor, I want to be a saint.】
[…] The system is sluggish.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully activating the Saint Counterattack System. The novice gift package will be distributed first. 】
[1000 years of life, 1000 immortals, automatically resurrected after death, an interval of 24 hours is required.]
"Okay, in this case, I can save more people." Cheng Ming was very happy.
Seeing this, Wen Rensheng was speechless.
Every overly generous novice gift package is the blood and tears of the previous host.
…
Cheng Ming returned to southern society.
He studies hard and makes progress.
At the same time, he relies on 1,000 immortal men to travel around.
However, he found that within the New Ming Dynasty, the effect was not good.
The new Ming Dynasty already has complete order, and there is no need for him to disrupt it.
So I ran to Ouzhou.
For some reason, the southerners did not attack Aozhou.
Instead it only occupies the islands and landmasses around the Pacific Ocean.
Turned the Pacific Ocean into a lake.
As for Ouzhou, there are only a few mountains and deserts as boundaries, so there is no interference with the other side.
This made him not understand.
Wen Rensheng naturally understood that this was the result of fierce debate among the southerners.
We must leave another birthplace of civilization for the planet.
After all, they are a civilization that was fostered by time-travelers, and Lao'aozhou was a modern technological point that relied on its terrain advantages and many gathered civilizational advantages.
Because it is open on all sides and surrounded by sea on three sides, maritime transportation is developed.
Agriculture is not good enough, so we need to expand outside to survive.
The king's power is not strong enough to suppress the various internal forces.
There is a foundation for the germination of science and technology.
After all, they will still die of old age.
There has to be somewhere to provide a new grip, right?
So Cheng Ming went to Lao Aizhou.
But after struggling for some time, Cheng Ming became lazy.
…
Cheng Ming doesn't know what's going on recently.
He found that he was not as energetic as before.
I can no longer feel motivated to do anything.
He thought about it carefully and found the reason.
Because after he established the system, he originally wanted to do a lot of good things, but in the end, he ended up doing more and more chaos.
For example, when he comes to a place, he sees a lot of chaos in that place.
So he sent his own people to go in and clean up.
The result is that it becomes more and more chaotic.
Even if you let the locals do it themselves, things may get better.
When he went in and started to mess around, the locals became even more ignorant.
They wait and ask for it every day.
Instead of making progress on your own.
Every day I just pray for the coming of the Holy Son...
Only then did he realize that he still had a lot to learn.
It doesn't take a good heart to accomplish good things.
It is not possible to achieve great things with just a little bit of theoretical knowledge.
So he went back to study again.
He just kept learning, but he found that it was too difficult.
Those theories must be put into practice.
You need to control people's hearts, you need to be patient, and you need to do it seriously.
To sort out those dirty and ugly hearts.
If you try to help them, only a few of them will be sensible and grateful.
Many are white-eyed wolves.
Even your good intentions are regarded as stupidity.
That's why he felt tired.
Likewise, he also understood why the southerners had to wait a long time before conquering the Ming Dynasty.
The purpose is to cultivate enough grassroots personnel.
Otherwise, contacting those idiots yourself will exhaust you to death.
A lot of enthusiasm will be drained away.
For example, when he helped someone, the person kept talking about him for a long time.
Finally he understood: You raised me for nothing, so I will listen to you and say good things about you...
He said "hehe".
He suddenly thought of something: How did he have the courage to kill the future "Emperor" with a single blow?
He was so courageous back then.
Looking back now, that was really the most glorious moment in his life.
Although he still has a thousand years to live.
He originally thought that was just the starting point of his career.
But now it seems that he has reached the top.
Since then, it's been downhill.
He feels very lazy now.
He is currently living on the wealth earned by 1,000 immortal men.
He was still reduced to a parasite that he even looked down upon before.
But what's better than a parasite is that he doesn't bully others.
Parasites not only want to suck blood, they also want to bully you.
This is very unbearable.
You can spend money lying around, but you can't spend other people's money and bully others at the same time.
Cheng Ming was just lazy.
And the whole world continues to move forward slowly.
300 years later.
It is now 1900.
From 1566, a full 340 years passed.
A conflict finally broke out between Lao Aizhou and New Daming.
After Cheng Ming found out about this, he thought Lao Aizhou was crazy.
How did they have the courage to go to war?
The cause of the conflict is also very simple.
Or is it a deep-rooted conflict between business markets?
The market of Xin Daming is very broad.
It has a huge market of more than 3 billion people.
But Lao Aizhou always couldn't get in.
The new Ming Dynasty only acquired the other party's new technologies, but rarely opened up the vast market.
High tariffs are levied on industrial products from Laozhou.
Only literature and art, oil paintings, music, handicrafts, food, labor export, etc. are exempt from tariffs or have low tariffs.
But everyone knows that this kind of abnormal trade will make Laozhou powerless.
The prosperity of industrial products is the real strength.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! This makes Lao Aizhou feel very depressed.
However, the new products they worked so hard to develop were easily imitated by the new Ming Dynasty, relying on the vast market, and then imitated them.
The new Ming Dynasty's market has a total of 3 billion people.
And they all have quite high consumption power.
The people in the South relied on their advanced technology and absorbed more lessons. Coupled with the vast territory, they had a minimum living standard and various insurances.
They do basic distribution in various places.
In terms of various tax designs, they are relatively modern.
The basic principle can be realized: those with high wealth should have high taxes.
Best of all, double-entry doors are still around.
Although Zhang Ming died of old age.
But double doors aren't going away.
It continues to be passed on to the next generation.
The secret of double-entry doors is still known to only a few people.
Without Zhang Ming, people can no longer travel back and forth, but materials can still travel back and forth.
It is very simple for modern people to discover this double door.
Throw a bunch of firecrackers over.
After the explosion, the people on the other side discovered it.
Then comes the fate of the big forces.
After the two parties briefly communicated with each other, they began a large-scale exchange of goods and knowledge.
New Daming mainly exported literary and artistic products, handicrafts, luxury goods, precious wood, etc.
The opposite side mainly exports high-value equipment, medicines, military weapons, etc...
This is mutually beneficial.
Modern industry requires a large population.
However, the irony is that modern industry itself will suppress population growth.
Every industrial country has fallen into a cycle of stagnation in population reproduction.
This creates a contradiction between production and consumption.
To solve this problem, we must ultimately rely on technology.
But before the development of science and technology, in order to alleviate conflicts, it is necessary to open up new markets.
The population in New Daming is still in a period of rapid growth.
The territory is vast, but most of it is still an agricultural society.
Two to three hundred years of development still only benefits places with convenient transportation.
In many remote places, they received food relief, but there was no industrialization.
