The sound of firecrackers bids farewell to the old year, and thousands of households welcome the New Year......

Jiangning City, as a wealthy place in the Great Yan Dynasty, has many famous families inherited from the ancient capital of previous dynasties. The sound of firecrackers in Jiangning City began to resound from the night of Chinese New Year's Eve to the morning of the first day of the new year.

On the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, Cao Yi had rare insomnia, which was also Cao Yi's first insomnia since crossing into this world. On the one hand, they were worried about Wang Zhiyuan and Yuan Qing taking the Spark Secret Camp to attack Soul Mountain, and they didn't know what the situation was over there. This made him miss the phone and the Internet in his previous life very much, if he was still in the previous life, as long as the incident over there was over, he would be able to know by making a phone call or sending a message over there. But in this day and age, the latest news will not be available until at least tomorrow morning.

On the other hand, Cao Yi suddenly began to miss his family on this day when he was supposed to be a family reunion. Whether it is the mother of this life or the parents of the previous life, their figures appear in his mind like a slide in a loop, lingering. This also made him fall into a thick longing and couldn't extricate himself, the more he missed, the more he was excited, and he couldn't fall asleep, listening to the lively and noisy firecrackers outside, so that Cao Yi had a lively and lively thought, but loneliness was his own.

During this period, Red Sleeves wore thin clothes, just wrapped in a velvet cloak and came out, she fell asleep, but when she woke up and saw that the light in the study was still on, she wondered if Childe was still in the study, and if not, she would come over and put out the light. As a result, I really saw Childe sitting in the study and seemed to be thinking about something, and she didn't react when she came to the front. I had to persuade my son to go back to the bedroom as soon as possible to rest, although Cao Yi was depressed at the moment, she still smiled in front of Red Sleeves and asked her to go back to sleep: "Red Sleeves go to sleep by yourself, don't worry about me, I just miss my parents a little bit today......"

Red Sleeves originally wanted to stay and talk with Gongzi and enlighten him, but he was driven back by Cao Yi, wearing so little, and now it is so cold, and there is no air conditioning in this era, there was originally charcoal, but Cao Yi was afraid of carbon monoxide poisoning, and he didn't like charcoal burning much in a general closed environment, so there was no charcoal burning in the study at the moment, and the temperature was naturally not very high.

Cao Yi looked at the bright moon outside the window, listening to the sound of firecrackers and firecrackers from time to time, and his heart became more and more sad, the outside world is indeed very lively, but he seems to have been suddenly arranged here out of thin air. But it is also true, he was brought to this world by some mysterious power in the jade seal of the country that he did not know.

Cao Yi suddenly stood up when he thought of this, and an idea suddenly popped up in his mind, since he was able to travel to this world, are there many time-travelers who have come to various dynasties in history? In Cao Yi's cognition, at least Guiguzi and Mozi are very likely to be traversers, and both of them are all-round geniuses whose knowledge and insight far exceed the average level of the entire society at that time. Guiguzi is respected as a saint by the art of war, respected as the ancestor by the vertical and horizontal family, respected as a saint by the strategist, respected as the ancestor by the famous family, respected as the ancestor of Wang Chan by the Taoist, and even the fortune teller and diviner respected him as the ancestor master, so proficient in several studies, omniscient, omniscient character, no matter how you look at it, it looks like a traverser.

The same is true of Mozi, who single-handedly founded the Mohist family, although it was completely contrary to the mainstream ideas of ancient Chinese feudal society at that time, and was not liked by the rulers of the time, and gradually fell from one of the "three major scholars" to the bottom stream, resulting in the complete absence of this school in the future. However, the legend of Mozi and the Mohists has always been widely circulated, and the Mohists are more like a party or violent organization than an academic school. First of all, from the organizational structure of the Mohists, the selection of members is very strict, in the pre-Qin era when the number of followers was the last word, the Mohists have always controlled the number of people in the organization, and the people in the entire Mohist organization seem to have been brainwashed, adhering to the Mohist ideology all their lives, advocating the Mohist theory, the key is to pay money to the organization, quite like the party dues paid now. Romance

Moreover, Mozi himself is even more legendary, advocating that "the virtuous and virtuous people in the world should be selected to be the son of heaven." Choose the people who praise the virtuous, virtuous, sage, wise and wise people in the world, and establish them as the three princes. In fact, this is very similar to the electoral system of later generations. Moreover, Mozi studied mathematics, mechanics, philosophy, astronomy, and military division, and many theories were put forward centuries before the scientific pioneers of Europe. The most important thing is that no one knows where Mozi came from, when he was born, when he died, it is like he appeared out of thin air in that era and disappeared out of thin air.

As for Li Chunfeng and Liu Bowen, great prophets who can predict thousands of years of historical events in later generations, not to mention, until the modern period before Cao Yi's crossing, it is impossible to explain why the "Tui Bei Tu" and "Song of Baked Cakes" and "Jinling Pagoda Inscription" can accurately predict the events of hundreds or even thousands of years in later generations. Among them, "Tui Bei Tu" is from the beginning of the Tang Dynasty to the establishment of the Datong world by the Ziwei sage, the main events that occurred in Chinese history have been predicted, and the events basically mentioned have been accurately fulfilled, and the magic is even more than the great prophecy of the Western Nostradamus book "Centuries".

But what makes Cao Yi suspect that 99% of the time traveler is none other than Wang Mang, basically everything he does can prove that he is a typical time-traveler, because Wang Mang's whole body is full of mystery, and the fog shrouded in him also gives people an incomparably familiar aura of the protagonist. Born in the late Western Han Dynasty, it can be seen from his early experience that this person with a terrifying mature mind, thinking twice at a time, thinking about five steps and ten considerations, step by step, when to rise and when to usurp power, he can score exactly the same as a person who knows the future of history, from a person who has almost nothing to a dynasty that has been established later. After ascending to the throne, he promulgated a series of laws and policies that were unbelievable but looked very familiar to later generations. First of all, the establishment of the "new dynasty", the word "new", in ancient times, did not sound high, nor majestic, nor has any background and connotation at all, purely like a typical modern people in order to commemorate the unusual, specially taken this name.

Moreover, when Wang Mang ascended the throne, he immediately changed the era to the first year of the Yuan Dynasty, and this year, according to the modern Gregorian calendar, was exactly the first year of the Common Era, and the eras of the East and the West finally converged. Moreover, Wang Mang also carried out reforms similar to those of socialism in China in the seventies of the last century. The implementation of state ownership of land, equal distribution, the abolition of slavery, and the pursuit of equality for all people predates the American Civil War by more than a thousand years. Changing the names of places and official positions, reforming the currency, and the government and the imperial court participated in the planned economy and the monopoly of state-owned enterprises, and mastered the lifeblood of the economy. The key was to establish a loan system in the name of the imperial court, and even to carry out macroeconomic regulation and control of prices, and also promulgated tax measures similar to those of modern times. Even Hu Shi called him the socialist emperor of 1,900 years ago.

And the ancient 100 ticks of timekeeping method was modified to a new 120 ticks per day, the most important thing is that Wang Mang also invented the vernier caliper, a precision instrument, and the vernier caliper of later generations is almost the same. And no matter how Wang Mang looks at it, he looks like a nationalist angry youth who has traveled through the past in later generations, he dislikes the Xiongnu and Goryeo without reason and basis, changes the Xiongnu Shan Yu to surrender to slaves, and renames Goguryeo to Xia Guli, which is like something that can only be done by an angry youth and a keyboard warrior. Throughout Wang Mang's life, I have to say that his advanced thinking and unbelievable degree of doing things are not in line with that era. It's not that Wang Mang's ideas of governing the country are bad, but his thoughts should not appear at that time, because his ideas of governing the country and administrative ideas are far beyond that era for more than a thousand years, or even more than 2,000 years, and are seriously out of touch with the social productive forces and development level at that time.

Cao Yi later thought that if Wang Mang was a traverser, then Liu Xiu was very likely to be another traverser who was sent over to punish and eliminate Wang Mang, so that history could return to orthodoxy. Cao Yi guessed that it is very likely that when a person travels to an era and changes the history of this era, then another time-traveler will travel through the past to stop it...... Cao Yi thought of this, and couldn't help but think about it in horror. From this point of view, could it be that in this era, there are other traversers coming? When he tries to change the history of this Great Yan Dynasty and change the development of this era, will another time-traveler appear, like Liu Xiu, who will use the "Great Meteorite Technique", "Great Thunder Technique" and "Rainstorm Technique" like divine help to sanction himself and destroy himself?

Cao Yi's time this night was spent in all kinds of cranky thoughts, first missing his parents in the previous life, and then thinking of his own crossing process, and then thinking of the historical figures he knew who were very likely to be the time-travelers, and even from the joke story of Liu Xiu, the son of the crosser Wang Mang and the face, he suspected that there would be such a "son of the plane", and there would be another time-traveler who would also appear in this era, just to prevent his own change and influence on this era, to become his own nemesis, and even to eliminate ...... Myself!

In the end, Cao Yi decided to ignore this matter for the time being, no one can be sure if there is such a person, instead of scaring himself here, it is better to make more preparations and lay a stronger foundation, in addition to dealing with the people and things of this era, to ensure that he and the people around him who want to protect can survive better, and then consider and prepare to deal with another other traverser who may and may not have.
