Over the next dozen years, Xiang Nan continued to introduce new technologies and technologies.
For example, building power plants, chemical plants, paper mills, printing plants, manufacturing cars, tanks, helicopters, bicycles, tractors, planters, harvesters, excavators, cranes...
He even launched the first radio station and the first radio, so that people even thousands of miles away could hear his voice...
Furthermore, he continues to carry out infrastructure construction. Not only the railway from Beijing to Northeast China was built, but also the railway from Beijing to Nanyang was built.
In addition, he also organized people to build water conservancy projects, turning flood-stricken areas into fertile fields again. And bridges were built over the Yellow River and Yangtze River to turn natural chasms into thoroughfares.
With his continuous efforts, the lives of the people of the Ming Dynasty became increasingly better and better. I dare not say that there is no longer poverty, hunger, cold and cold in the world. At least most of the people have enough to eat and drink.
As a result, the population under the rule is increasing. Not counting those who were conquered in the outside world, the population of China alone has grown to 270 million, making it the most populous country in the world.
Moreover, the imperial tax revenue is as high as 150 million taels of silver every year, and the gross national product is estimated to account for more than 90% of the world's total.
Such a powerful country will naturally suppress the conquered countries in the outside world and not dare to resist easily.
From the thirty-sixth year of Tianshun to the forty-fifth year of Tianshun, in the past ten years, there were no more wars at home and abroad, and the people were naturally happy to enjoy peace.
This fulfilled the wishes of Zhou Huai'an and Qiu Moyan. What they looked forward to most was to live in peace.
…
In the past ten years, Qiu Moyan has gradually grown older.
The chivalrous woman who used to walk around the world with a sword is now old and terminally ill.
"Huai'an, I'm afraid I'm going to die." She said reluctantly holding Xiang Nan's hand.
"Don't say that, you are just feeling a little unwell, there is no chance that anything will happen to you." Xiang Nan comforted with a smile.
Qiu Moyan shook her head. She knew her own body.
In recent years, as she grew older, her teeth began to loosen, her ears began to become hard of hearing, and even her eyes began to blur. She was no longer the same as she was when she was young.
Especially in the past six months, she has suffered from frequent headaches and no appetite for food, so she knew it was almost time.
"Don't comfort me. I know my own situation." Qiu Moyan said, "I just can't let you go. I don't want to leave you."
"Don't think so wildly, you won't leave me." Xiang Nan held her hand and said, "You will definitely get better."
"Huai'an, I still want to be with you in the next life." Qiu Moyan said again.
“Don’t worry, it will definitely happen.” Xiang Nan nodded.
Qiu Moyan smiled happily after receiving his promise, and then slowly closed his eyes.
A moment later, a long-lost reminder sounded in Xiang Nan's ears, "Zhou Huaian thanks the host for fulfilling his wish and being able to stay with Qiu Moyan for the rest of his life, leaving him with a beautiful memory and fulfilling his biggest regret in life!"
“The mission is completed, the host is about to return!”
Immediately, Xiang Nan’s soul was sucked out of Zhou Huaian’s body and thrown into the light gate.
Immediately afterwards, a series of pictures passed in front of him. There are scenes of him and Qiu Moyan meeting at the Longmen Inn, there are scenes of him and Qiu Moyan worshiping heaven and earth, there are scenes of him killing Cao Shaoqin, the governor of Dongchang, there are scenes of him seizing the door and successfully restoring the country, there are scenes of him leading the army to the Mongolian expedition. Pictures of his country, pictures of him leading his army on an expedition to Europe, pictures of him leading his fleet to the Americas...all are wonderful memories.
At the end, he saw a short scene, which was the scene of Zhou Huaian in his twilight years before his death.
He has been loyal to the emperor and patriotic throughout his life, hoping to eradicate traitors and help the country with his passion. However, the development of the current situation greatly disappointed him.
Emperor Jingtai, Emperor Tianshun, Emperor Chenghua... these emperors are more mediocre and incompetent than the last. The common people never had a good life under their rule.
No matter how high his sword skills are and how many traitors and eunuchs he kills, the world will still be turbid and dark. Therefore, he became disheartened in the end, regretting that he wasted half his life doing all useless work, but it was a pity that Qiu Moyan lost his life.
So when he was dying, he hoped that he could go back in time and stay with Qiu Moyan for the rest of his life.
Xiang Nan couldn't help but sigh with emotion when he saw this scene.
Although loyal ministers and righteous men like Zhou Huai'an were highly skilled in martial arts and full of wisdom, it was a pity that they were born in that dark era and struggled to achieve their ambitions.
“Does the host consume the [Memory Stone] to keep all the memories of this life?” At this time, the system prompted again.
Xiang Nan thought for a while and then clicked "No".
Although his life was magnificent and accomplished, he didn't learn anything new, so he couldn't keep this memory.
Anyway, it’s not like he has no memory of the emperor.
At this time, the system prompts again, "As a reward for the host, Zhou Huaian is willing to dedicate his martial arts and strategies in return."
“Congratulations to the host for receiving the World Stone reward!” The system prompted again.
Xiang Nan then opened his eyes.
Having examined what he had gained, he felt it was pretty good.
Zhou Huaian's martial arts skills are higher than Qiu Moyan's, but generally speaking, they are equivalent to the level of masters such as Mei Chaofeng, Li Mochou, and Ouyang Ke.
Faced with a top master like Cao Shaoqin, he, Qiu Moyan, and Jin Xiangyu were no match. If the cook Diao Buyu hadn't taken action and severely injured Cao Shaoqin, all of them would have died.
Therefore, the martial arts of the three of them are far behind the top masters, that is, they are at the first-rate level. Therefore, inheriting Zhou Huai'an's martial arts is actually a plus for Xiang Nan.
However, Zhou Huai'an was a famous general of his generation. He had served as the instructor of the Forbidden Army, and he was skilled in military tactics and resourceful. His strategy is a good reward.
And you also get a "World Stone". Overall, it's a good deal.
…
After the mission, Xiang Nan rested for two days, and then started a new mission.
For him, the real world is becoming less and less interesting. With his current wealth, beautiful women, delicious food, and fine wines are all at his fingertips, and he can travel around the world at a moment's notice. Even going to space is not impossible. But these are all too boring for him.
Compared with staying in the real world, he still preferred to go to the mission world, so he immediately opened the mission bar again and saw that the mission had been updated again.
"Zhizunbao hopes to never let Zixia down again; Yamucha hopes to find his beloved girl; Li Xunhuan hopes to be with Lin Shiyin for life; Ning Caichen hopes to stay with Nie Xiaoqian until they grow old; Jia Baoyu hopes to stay with Lin Daiyu for life; Xu Zhengtai hopes to stay with Lin Daiyu for life.
