The course of mankind is a history of war. Gao Xu had been reading books in the city library for a few days, and suddenly thought of such a sentence.

In the records of the past 400 years, there have been countless wars, including at least two large-scale civil wars in the follow-up of the Ming Dynasty, and two large-scale melee battles in many countries in the world, which are called world wars. There are also various large and small battles and conflicts, which cannot be defined as a world war.

As the victor of the two world wars, the Ming Dynasty shaped today's world pattern and led other countries in all aspects of science and technology, military and economy. East of the Suez Canal and up to the West America in the Americas, almost all of them were the traditional spheres of influence of the Ming Dynasty, and there were many military bases at the level of guards and institutes overseas. At present, the Ming Kingdom advocates tolerance and benevolence, and advocates coexistence in religion, culture and other aspects, because most of the people of the Ming Kingdom are atheists.

However, what is written in the book is inevitably all positive. The reality should be a little different.

While Gao Xu understood the environment, he began to learn the phonetic transcription represented by strokes and symbols, became familiar with the way cars were driven, and tried his best to fit in with the times. After all, he is only thirty-three years old, and he may have a long life to live.

Why did he cross over again, Gao Xu has always been very confused about this matter, and wonders if he can cross again. But he can't try, and after thinking about it, it's better to live like this first, and it's safer.

Gao Xu's social relationship is relatively simple, and he has no way of knowing the people who do not take the initiative to contact him, including the contact information of his ex-wife. For more than half a month, only colleagues occasionally came to see him, and the supervisor made two phone calls to ask him about his recovery, and then approved half a month of leave.

At first, he was a little novel, but then he found life convenient and comfortable. It didn't take long for him to wander alone between his home and the city all day long, without anyone to talk to, and he soon became bored.

In the next few days, he didn't even want to go to the city, so he lay at home all day watching TV and playing on the computer. People are like this, if they don't go out for a while, they don't want to go out.

Gao Xu remembered the recommendation of his colleague Zhang Er, saying that it was cheap to vacation in the southern countries. He then decided to go to Thang Long in Annam, where he had been there hundreds of years ago, and it could be regarded as a revisit. That kind of place where things are not people, you may feel it, at least it won't be too boring.

So Gao Xu thought of it, picked up his mobile phone and made a phone call to book a plane ticket to Thang Long, and then prepared other things.

Outside Songtai City in Annan, there is also a garrison of the Ming military, which is a one-sided visa-free country of the Ming Dynasty. You don't even need a visa, just bring your documents, it's really simple.

Departure on March 15. Suzhou Airport has a strong sense of science and technology and does not need paper tickets, but passenger planes still take off and land on the runway. The stewardess costume on Daming's side is very interesting, wearing a skirt, which makes Gao Xu wake up and think that he has traveled back again.

Gao Xu took a nap on the plane and soon arrived at Thang Long Airport. The trip that took several months back then was a world of difference compared to today's travel.

The airport here is relatively small and the facilities are outdated. As soon as Gao Xu got off the plane, he thought that the capitalists were even more greedy than the landlords of the past.

He had just stepped out of the airport and into the street when suddenly a motorcycle sped by, splashing mud on his pants, and he saw a gray cement low house, as if he had arrived at the farmer's market as soon as he came out.

Gao Xu glanced at the motorcycle, which was soon gone, and looked for a taxi nearby. He handed a note in front of the car window and asked, "How much?" ”

The driver said in Chinese with his feet: "

10,000 Annam (about one circle). ”

So Gao Xu threw his luggage behind, got in the car and left.

After some bumps, Gao Xu arrived at the hotel, and Gao Xu took out his wallet to pay cash. Unexpectedly, the driver said: "One hundred thousand." Gao Xu was stunned for a moment and said, "Ten thousand." The driver said, "One hundred thousand." Gao Xu thought for a while: "Twenty thousand, otherwise I will report to the official." The driver nodded and took a fifty-thousand-dollar one, and then refused to admit it. Gao Xu was too lazy to say, so he had to get out of the car with his luggage, and he was not angry, anyway, the parking fee for a day and a night in China would be eight yuan. He only thinks that in the era of such advanced science and technology, the capitalists at home and abroad are mainly to blame for the heavy stripping.

After Gao Xu checked in, he changed out of his muddy pants, saw that the sky was already a little dark, glanced at his watch, and went downstairs to the restaurant to eat. Then learn how to get to the palace of Annam, and prepare to visit the place where Empress Dowager Chen lived tomorrow.

Sure enough, he saw some tourist brochures in the hall, so he took one and sat down at the table to read it. The brochure is available in several languages, and in addition to Chinese, there are also a large number of Chinese characters in the local script of Annam, and even Guess and Monte can understand some of them.

After a while, the waiter came over and asked Gao Xu to order, and the whole process was a simple exchange in Chinese. At this time, the waiter suddenly asked, "Are you from Mingguo?" ”

Gao Xu nodded, looked up at her, a very white and beautiful little lady.

The waiter looked delighted and said, "I think it's like it." Can you teach me Chinese? ”

Where to learn a foreign language? A thought flashed through Gao Xu's heart, and he was suddenly a little impetuous. He smiled and said, "You have spoken very well, and you are also very beautiful." ”

The waiter held his face and said embarrassedly, "I said it badly." Do you have a girlfriend? ”

Without waiting for Gao Xu to answer, another woman came over and spoke in a language she didn't understand. The waiter hurriedly left, and glanced back at Gao Xu. The woman who just came over was wearing makeup and looked very fashionable, while the image of the waitress girl just now was a little more plain.

The woman's face was not good just now, and when she turned her head to look at Gao Xu, she immediately smiled: "Sir, have you ordered a good meal?" ”

Gao Xu said: "Okay, thank you." ”

The woman said again: "I'm sorry, the waiter is not sensible." ”

Gao Xu waved his hand and smiled: "I think the service is very good, just serve the food as soon as possible." ”

"Look at our hotel's specials." The woman handed the menu over again, only to see a note on the menu with the white rabbit number Arabic numerals written on it.

Gao Xu quickly understood what he meant, so he said quietly: "I am an ordinary office worker, and I don't have much money in my pocket. ”

The woman pouted: "I'm not that kind of person, Mr. misunderstood, we are here in a big hotel, not a green building." Ming people are so boring, don't they make friends? I'm resting tomorrow. ”

The woman's Chinese language was much better, and Gao Xu reluctantly took the note.

The woman took a few steps, then turned to look at him and made a keyboard tapping motion.

After Gao Xu finished eating, it was already dark, and he went back to his room to do some chores. He pulled the note out of his pocket, thought about it, opened his phone and clicked on a software with a rabbit pattern. After a little tinkering, he quickly added the woman just now.

Her: Are you the gentleman you just dined with? I'm still at work, and I'll talk back.

So Gao Xu took a shower and watched TV.

After a while, the software sounded. Gao Xu asked her what her name was, and said that his name was Liu Gang. The other party said that her name was Amei.

After chatting for a while, Gao Xu said: Tomorrow I want to go to the palace attractions, you take me there, so as not to understand the market and be pitted all the way, I can pay your tour guide fee.

Amedao: We are friends and we can't take your money.

Gao Xuxin said, there are still good people, there are good people everywhere.

Ah Mei said again: Can I ask a few friends to go with me?

Gao Xu: Absolutely, the more people there are, the more fun it is.

He thought about it for a while, he was just an ordinary person now, and no one wanted to do anything to him, at most for money. And this Amei has a job in the hotel, which is probably quite reliable, and he doesn't do anything. He didn't know much about this already unfamiliar place, so he said in his heart that he should not be in a hurry to indulge.

Gao Xu jokingly typed a line: I just lived here, aren't you afraid that I'm a bad person?

Amei Dao: Ming people are very high-quality, tall and rich, very modest, and respectful of women. Those who do bad things are also very disciplined, and I am not afraid of you if I don't harm you.

Gao Xu: I watched TV and said that Ming people are the most unpopular people in the world.

Amedao: Popular with women. Many foreign men who look similar like to pretend to be Ming people and come here to deceive simple Annam women.

Gao Xu: I'm pretending too.

Amedao: No way, only people who have never seen the world can't see it.

chatted casually for a while, made an appointment with each other, and then went offline.

Gao Xu's mood gradually became happy, where he could happily eat seafood, his favorite, and now he still wants to repair his car. After living for so long, he has awakened to his interests, which are simple and primitive. As for gambling, he has already quit, and that thing is not suitable for ordinary people.

But he weighed it and still wanted to find a paid one. The main thing is not used to it, he was rich in the world back then, never ate white food, and would give rich rewards. Now I have too few things, and it is relatively simple to pay for the place, not to mention that this industry is currently legal in Daming and some countries.

The next morning, Gao Xu met Ah Mei in the lobby, but did not see her friends. The two of them set off by taxi, and this time they didn't charge more. When he arrived near the palace, he met Amei's friends, two women.

Ah Mei suddenly grabbed Gao Xu's arm and introduced, "This is my friend Liu Gang." ”

Gao Xu felt the soft touch on his arm, and felt a little embarrassed by such an intimate action, and of course he couldn't push her away in front of other people's friends. He could only stand there and do nothing.

The expressions of the two women were also a little strange, constantly looking at Gao Xu. One of them said something in the local dialect and laughed sourly.

Ah Mei said in Chinese: "We are still friends now." ”

"Really?" One of the women teasingly said in Chinese.

They looked at Gao Xu's arm and bent over with a grin. Gao Xu didn't say anything, but he felt a little inexplicable, the so-called friend he met last night turned out to be like he was in love. So he casually chatted about local food and other topics, and found that they all spoke more or less Chinese, but Amei spoke it very well.
