- "This is the former residence of the Emperor of our Huaxia Dynasty. It was here that the Emperor trained the invincible Tiger Guards, defeated thieves and defeated the invaders, and began his magnificent journey! Without the Emperor's foundation here, we would not be where we are today. China does not have our 530 million Chinese people!"
The tour guide held an electric horn and pointed at Xiliu Courtyard and introduced it to everyone. It was already the 30th year of China. Fifty years had passed since Yu Guozhen started his career in the fifth year of Chongzhen. Six years had passed since Yu Guozhen abdicated the throne.
China's population has quadrupled in the past thirty years. Thanks to improvements in medical care and rich nutrition, maternal and infant mortality has dropped significantly. The original population of 150 million has now reached 530 million. Among them, there are about 400 million people living on the mainland of China, about 100 million people living in the southeastern archipelago provinces, and there are still 30 million people, distributed in a vast area from the west coast of America to the east coast of Africa.
There are about thirty tour groups following the tour guide. At Xiliu Villa, we receive at least hundreds of tour groups like this every day. There are also young and old members in the tour group. The older couple wears spectacles and their hair is as silk as silver. However, their relationship is quite good. The old man always holds the old woman's hand.
"In the fifth year of Chongzhen, fifty years ago, the emperor led his subordinates to fight for the first time because of the attack by water bandits in Taihu Lake. At that time, the emperor was only sixteen years old."
"You can take a look. This Xiliu Villa is actually not very big. As soon as you enter, the most eye-catching thing is the training ground here. You can also see the black traces of fire on the training ground. , those were left behind by Zhang Xianzhong who burned down Xiliu Villa three times"
The tour guide began to talk eloquently about the wars of that year, from the three battles between the Qing Dynasty to suppress the water bandits and Zhang Xianzhong. Although for most people, these are part of the history they know, but the tour guide also gave some details that made people feel It's like traveling through time and space, back to that period.
The silver-haired old woman raised her eyes and glanced at the old man: "Is this really what happened at that time?"
"Haha, tour guide, Liu Jingting's disciples always brag a bit." The old man replied with a smile: "It's not that thrilling, but she encountered something that year. Her body is weak, and it might have something to do with falling into the water in the winter"
When people get old, it is easy to recall the past. When the old man is here, his thoughts will wander. The old woman looked at him with a slight smile. After a few minutes, the old man came back to his senses and said, "Ah, we are lagging behind. We have to catch up a few steps to avoid being left behind.
"You are the only one who has left others behind. Why not now you have a taste of being left behind by others?"
"You can't say that" The two of them quarreled and hurriedly chased the tour guide. Although their hair was gray, they were in good health and they were not out of breath even after running a few steps.
"In the 17th year of China, after Auxiliary General An took office, the imperial court vigorously promoted tourism and entertainment. The Emperor Tai Huang, who had not yet abdicated at that time, responded first and donated the rebuilt Xiliu Villa to be used as a museum for the people to visit. Just like us Like all museums and natural scenic spots in China, the entrance fee charged here is only a symbolic silver dollar - which is also the one-yuan banknote we use now."
"Of course, since it has become a museum, we can not only see the place where the emperor lived, but also the exhibition of important historical events of our Huaxia Dynasty Please follow me after leaving Xiliu Villa, behind. You can also try the most authentic Xinxiang braised pork, which is a delicacy not to be missed.¡±
Behind Xiliu Villa is a bungalow building. After entering, you can see a long corridor. Glass windows on the walls of the corridor display some important historical materials from the establishment of the Chinese dynasty to the present. There are both real objects, such as the Cossack saber captured by the Chinese Dynasty when they competed with the Rakshasa people for the Beiming Tundra in the early years, and models, such as the 1:50 physical model of the Huaqing steam ironclad that made great achievements in the partition of England. , of course, there are also a large number of pictures, especially after the 16th year of China, a large number of photos show the achievements of the Chinese Dynasty from a panoramic view: the Jinling Yangtze River Bridge passing by the train, the Yiling Electric Dam that is supplying a large amount of electricity to central China , from the renovated Beijing-Hangzhou Canal, to the maritime trade routes that stretch thousands of miles, of course, in order to promote the tourism, entertainment and other intangible wealth industries promoted by the Chinese government today, the beautiful scenery in various places is also indispensable.
Booths are being added to the second half of the corridor. Visitors saw several workers placing a silver-gray bottle in a display cabinet. The detailed introduction information has not been posted yet, but there is only a cardboard piece of "aluminum bottle".
"This is a famous imitation of an aluminum bottle. Everyone knows that the year before last, our Chinese West Sea Fleet successfully destroyed the last resistance force and forced the Europa Church to accept the aluminum bottle lottery system. After the death of the previous pope of the Church, there was a successor Qualified cardinals must go through the aluminum bottle drawing before they can officially succeed to the throne."
The silver-haired old man couldn't help but laugh. This news made him feel extremely comfortable.
"Now, in Europe, almost everywhere there are Catholic churches and Taoist temples, pagodas have appeared in many towns, and Confucius academies are everywhere. Our Chinese universal concept of inclusiveness and virtue is influencing Europa, free Europa from the shackles of the extremely selfish and arrogant monotheistic cult, and bring them reason and light"
¡°Tour guide, why is it an aluminum bottle?¡± a child asked.
"Oh, as you all know, the easiest way to decompose aluminum is through electrolysis, but Europa has only entered the steam age and has not yet officially put into operation a power plant. Therefore, they cannot produce large quantities of aluminum themselves. Our Chinese aluminum products , the price in Europa is very high, so it has become a symbol of the status of the upper class. The use of aluminum bottles, to a certain extent, also shows our respect for the main religion of Europa"
"Actually, they are selling aluminum products." The silver-haired old woman glanced at Yu Guozhen.
"The monasteries and churches in Europe are willing to scrape off the gold and cover it with aluminum. How can we refuse them? But this is Xiang'er's doing, and it has nothing to do with me"
"It's not like you, a cunning old man, gave Xiang'er advice, so he wouldn't do such a thing. Xiang'er is honest and not that harmful!"
"Haha, can I take your words as a compliment?"
"Humph, I'm still here!"
As the two of them murmured, they walked out of the exhibition hall.
When they walked outside from the darker exhibition hall, the sunlight blinded them for a moment. When they adapted to the environment outside, they heard soft singing like the wind in their ears.
That was the radio ringing in the museum. The widespread application of electricity has produced many electrical appliances. In the past few years, radio and wireless telegraphy have gradually appeared, and even wired telephones have begun to take shape in the laboratory. .
After being able to provide stable power supply, all these inventions lack is an inspiration. With inspiration and direction, and with large investment, it is naturally not a problem. Moreover, their emergence has also brought about a large number of new industries. The silver-haired old woman squinted her eyes and said with a smile: "It's your favorite song."
The old man nodded, said nothing, and just listened quietly.
After the song on the radio finished playing, he straightened his chest, stretched out his hand to hold the old woman: "Let's go, it's time to go back!"
"Don't you want to hang around here a lot?"
"Next time, let's take the train to Xixiang,',"
Before he finished speaking, there was a sudden buzzing sound in the sky. Then, a propeller-driven plane flew over from the western sky. The tourists below exclaimed, and many people waved desperately to the plane. .
When the intelligence and wisdom of the Chinese people have a space to fully display, the miracles they create are enough to shock the entire world. The old man couldn't help but look surprised as he looked at this guy passing by in the sky.
This thinghas nothing to do with him!
"What is that?" The silver-haired old woman beside him asked in surprise: "Did you ask people to study it again?"
"No, look at itit seems to be preparing to landit should have been done by Jiang Youzhong's students, right?"
Jiang Youzhong's research on internal combustion engines has been successful for a long time, which has also given rise to the automobile industry. This will greatly strengthen China's transportation development and at the same time drive the oil and other industries. Therefore, the previous central government regarded this as a key industry to support, and now it has Several oil wells have been drilled in northern Shaanxi and Yumen, producing tens of thousands of tons of oil every year. The next step is to increase the annual production to 100,000 tons. At the same time, according to Yu Guozhen's suggestion, oil exploration technicians have rushed to the Persian Gulf to explore for oil there. .
There are not many cars on the market, and fuel is not easy to get. Therefore, the old man suspected that the person who was conducting aviation experiments should be a student of Jiang Youzhong.
"It's actually able to fly so fast in the air. It's much better than a hot airboat." The silver-haired old woman said.
"That's right, this is another incredible invention If we take this thing to Xixiang, it will only take about half a day, right?"
¡°I don¡¯t dare to ride on one. The last time I took a hot airboat, I was almost scared to death.¡±
"I remember you were very courageous."
"The older you get, the more courageous you are"
The two old men bickered casually, and the surprise between their eyebrows turned into slight smiles.
"If it can really carry many people, this thing will be very useful. It only takes a day or two to get to Toad Island, right?" the old woman asked again.
"Um."
¡°It¡¯s convenient to visit relatives, and also go to America.¡±??Think about it, people's hearts are really greedy. Fifty years ago, it took us two days to go to Jinling, and that was by boat. Now it takes ten days to go to Toad Island, and we all think it's a waste of time. It¡¯s too long¡¡±
"It's a great time."
"What are you?"
"This is a big era, maybe it will last for a hundred years. We created the beginning and looked at the first fifty years. Unfortunately, I can't look at the next fifty years. I really want to see how various electrical appliances will be replaced by one another fifty years later. The threads are connected, and the world is close to each other. A group of young people can travel around the world as long as they stay at home At that time, someone will definitely write and send it to everyone, and someone will go back in time and change history"
"What are you doing?"
"Ah, hahahaha, it's nothing, it's easy to nag when you get old, let's go, let's go, this big era has nothing to do with us!"
The two old men held each other's hands and walked slowly, slowly, and disappeared into the crowd of tourists.
