Chapter 493: Loyal Dog
When Chen Mo woke up from the dream, his eyes were still a little dazed, different from previous dreams, this time, what he saw in the deduction world did not disappear in his memory, he seemed to have really experienced thousands of years, and later, he saw the re-emergence of Huaxia, the inheritance of Huaxia, and the roots of Huaxia were not cut off because of this, but after the catastrophe, it only took a few decades to quickly catch up with the West.
The sky outside the window has not yet lit up, and this thousand-year-old dream is actually here for Chen Mo, and it is only one night, but the shock to Chen Mo is far greater than ever.
He even saw a more distant future, human science and technology are constantly exploring beyond the earth, but they are hindered by the inexplicable power of the universe, and they have never been able to break through the solar system, and finally the resources are exhausted.
"Whew~"
Exhaled fiercely, Chen Mo had confusion in his eyes, this thousand-year-old dream, for Chen Mo, there was an indescribable sense of depression, after seeing the world deduction, he suddenly lost interest in the future deduction of the Ming Dynasty, in these thousands of years of world evolution, the feudal system will be overthrown after all, before that, the dynasty has risen and fallen, like a strange reincarnation, but with the development of the times, the existing county system, including the various systems that appeared later, there is no way to achieve real perfection.
As for breaking the existing system like the West in the dream? Chen Mo didn't think about it? The evolution of civilization requires a process, and what is the premise for the success of the Western Industrial Revolution? Has the industry, science and technology of the West fully met the conditions for entering the industrial age? All it takes is a fuse to set off the tide of the times.
And today's Da Ming? There is no such condition, even if Chen Mo uses his identity as the Son of Heaven? Pushing the system to that point? It's just to pull out the seedlings and accelerate the defeat of the Ming Dynasty.
Even if Chen Mo wants to strangle Western civilization, he can't do it now, and the planes and ships in his dreams may be able to reach any corner of the world in one day? But with the ability of the Ming Dynasty today? Even if you take a ship, without considering any external forces, if you want to reach the Western Continent, it will take a few years, and this vast sea area? But isn't it every day that the wind is calm, and you want to cross the ocean to destroy the enemy? Today's Da Ming doesn't have that ability.
Chen Mo needs to sort out his ideas, how should Daming develop in the future? Was the rise and fall of dynasties inevitable in feudal times? Chen Mo just left more backhands useless.
But doesn't that mean that Chen Mo doesn't do anything, just don't know? Now that you see the direction of the future? What does he leave to posterity? At least leave some seeds behind, so that future generations will not even have the strength to resist when the enemy invades.
"Your Majesty, it's time to go to court." When the sky was faintly bright, a eunuch outside the door lightly buttoned the door and called softly.
"Hmm." Chen Mo got up, got dressed under the service of the palace maid, and began the first real early dynasty since the founding of the Ming Dynasty.
Dealing with official documents is naturally to be done, no matter what the future holds, such as today's people's livelihood, Chen Mo has to take care of it.
The next period of time was when the Ming Dynasty set the national policy, but the difference from imagination was that the world had been decided, but Chen Mo had no intention of cutting troops.
It stands to reason that when the world is generally peaceful, it is natural to put swords and guns into the warehouse, put the horses in Nanshan, and the world to recuperate, but Chen Mo has always maintained the military power on the border, and the status of the four hussars and five guards is on a par with the five Shangshu, which is puzzling.
After "Your Majesty's ......" retreated, Xu Shu did not leave, but came to Chen Mo's side, and thought: "If it is decided today, I will have four hustons and five guards, plus county soldiers and county guards from all over the country, there will be nearly one million people, and every year the military expenditure alone will consume a lot of military spending. ”
"Yuan Zhi thinks that these military expenses are not necessary?" Chen Mo asked with a smile.
Xu Shu nodded, he really thought so.
"Can Yuan Zhi know the siege of Baideng?" Chen Mo asked rhetorically.
Xu Shu frowned and said, "But now Xianbei is no longer a problem. ”
"What about a hundred years from now?" Chen Mo asked rhetorically.
"This ......" Xu Shu shook his head, who can say clearly what will happen in a hundred years.
"Yuan Zhi can regard the Saiwai grassland as a country, not only them, the Western Regions are outside Kangju, there are a large number of strong countries, no less than my Ming Dynasty, east of the East China Sea, after the land of Sanhan, and Dongying Island Country, you can say that these are not to be feared, but people have no foresight must have near-term worries, the same is true of the country, my Ming can shock the outside of the territory, all because I have a strong army in the Ming Dynasty, but if one day, my Ming Dynasty has no these, although the internal stability is stable, but externally, it will inevitably become weaker, I don't want to have a day, I Ming people, My Chinese descendants were bullied by foreign races, and such a thing must not happen. Chen Mo looked outside the main hall, and sighed for a long time: "Some things, looking too far, it hurts, there is no thousand-year dynasty in this world, since the Han Dynasty, I am afraid that it will be difficult for two hundred years of dynasties to exist, rather than to guard against their own people, it is better to focus on the outside, the world outside the Central Plains is so big that you can't imagine that the Central Plains is just a drop in the ocean in this world." ”
Xu Shu looked at Chen Mo with some doubts, I don't know why Chen Mo expressed these feelings 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 as in a dream, although Chen Mo Xinggong, caused a lot of dissatisfaction, but the Shi forces experienced the Guanzhong massacre, Jizhou massacre, the Central Plains after the division of power, has been unable to fight against the imperial power, under Chen Mo's encouragement, the status of the craftsman has been slightly improved, of course, the Ming Dynasty is still based on agriculture, but some workshops around the country have begun to flood.
However, something that made Chen Mo sad still happened, in the second year of Kaiyuan, in March, Lu Bu passed away, this person who represented the peak of the military force of an era, he did not dare to go south to herd horses, Chen Mo's few friends now, after all, did not escape the years, and passed away suddenly.
And Lu Bu's death seems to be a signal, the older generation of generals and ministers died one after another from the second year of Kaiyuan to the third year of Kaiyuan, and the most sad thing for Chen Mo was his mother's critical illness.
"Mother, drink the medicine." After learning the news that his mother was critically ill, Chen Mo gave up everything and used the crown prince to supervise the country and deal with the government affairs, while Chen Mo accompanied his mother day and night to take care of him.
"It's too bitter, and I don't have a few days to live for my mother, why should I suffer this sin?" Mother Chen shook her head.
"Mother, if you can say this, it means that the days are still long, be obedient, drink medicine." Chen Mo laughed and shook his head.
"Mo'er." Chen's mother finally drank the medicine, handed the bowl to Cai Yan on the side, looked at Chen Mo and said, "There is one thing, you can help your mother do it." ”
"Mother said." Chen Mo nodded.
Chen's mother looked at the sunspot lying at her feet, the sunspot was already very old, as if he was going to die at any time, Chen's mother sighed, touched the sunspot's head, the sunspot looked up, rubbed Chen's mother's hand, and lay on the ground again.
"Can my son find a good home for the sunspot, because my mother doesn't want it to see that my mother is gone." Chen's mother smiled: "It's probably going to be sad, right?" ”
Chen Mo looked at the sunspot and nodded silently, his mother had two dogs in this life, both called sunspots, the first was Chen Mo from Zheng Tu, when Chen Mo was not there, he accompanied his mother for many years, and finally died of old age, and then someone sent this sunspot, when he first came, it was only the size of a palm, and in the blink of an eye, so many years have passed, and the little ones in the past seem to have come to the end of their lives now.
"Mother, don't worry, the child will send it to Yanshi in a while." Chen Mo smiled.
"Hmm."
In the afternoon of the same day, Chen Mo asked people to prepare a carriage and send the ignorant Heizi to Yanshi, as for whether it would be mistreated, it was impossible, someone would take good care of it there.
This incident seemed to be the mother's last wish, and on the second day, the mother, who was still in good spirits, never woke up and walked peacefully.
Chen Mo was in pain, but he was not as heartbreaking as when the teacher Zang Hong died, in recent years, he has become accustomed to parting, birth, old age, sickness and death, which is the normal state in the world, just silently helping his mother take care of the future generations, until the day of the burial, Chen Mo and the people picked a cemetery in the north mountain to bury his mother, which is not considered Longzhong, but the relatives of the Chen family still have a large number of civil and military affairs.
Looking at his mother's coffin, Chen Mo's nose was a little sour.
"Your Majesty, the hour has come." The official in charge of measuring feng shui came to Chen Mo's side and said softly.
"Well, prepare to ......" Chen Mo nodded, and was about to say something, but suddenly there was a burst of exclamations from behind, Chen Mo was a little dissatisfied, he rarely lost his temper, but disturbing his mother's funeral still made him angry.
turned around, but was stunned to see a black dog rushing out of the crowd, the black dog was already very old, but it ran very fast, and the soldiers in charge of guarding around saw Chen Mo's eyes, and hurriedly knelt down and pleaded: "Your Majesty, you are incompetent......
Chen Mo waved his hand, he naturally recognized this black dog, but wasn't it sent to Yanshi?
Chen Mo watched Heizi silently walk to his mother's coffin, sniffed, and then lay down in front of his mother's grave without shouting.
"Kuroko?" Chen Mo stepped forward and touched the head of the sunspot, but the sunspot ignored him, just lying down in front of the coffin so quietly, as if he was asleep.
"Your Majesty, this one ...... The black dog is dead. A minister leaned in and looked at it for a long time, and then said softly.
"I know." Chen Mo stretched out his hand, wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, nodded and said, "Since it doesn't want to leave, then bury it next to my mother's grave, with its company, I think my mother won't be alone to continue the funeral." ”
"Whoa!"
The funeral continued, the coffin of the sunspot was made temporarily, and it was buried next to his mother's tomb, until after the funeral, Chen Mo waved away everyone, knelt in front of his mother's tomb, and was silent......
