In the far west, there is a huge harbor, a giant deep-sea ship with a sharp whistle and is heading out for the deep-sea area to fish.

The marine life of this world is able to survive in the light zone, and a large number of algae and plants also breed in the light zone, and the sea life is often very large, and it is common to see a giant octopus called "Antimas", each of which has a mass of hundreds of tons.

These sea creatures provide Boulder with valuable food as well as fish oil. But catching a giant octopus comes with a huge risk, both in the raging sea itself and in the marine animals themselves...... In the past, without this giant steel wheel, humans would not have been able to capture this giant creature.

There were also slave traders who were selling slaves near the docks that they didn't know where they came from...... The men and women stepped off the ship in shackles and expressionlessly, as if they had resigned themselves to their fate.

At the far end of the block, on a hillside, stands a splendid castle, which is also Zhang Yuan's destination.

…… A world where the gap between rich and poor is huge.

"Please, sir, give me some bar! It's okay for others to drink the rest! "A beggar is begging frantically in front of the hotel.

"Get out of here!" A series of whips whipping the ground.

When someone saw Zhang Yuan's steam locomotive, they couldn't help but show envy and complicated expressions.

This is the general trend of the times.

No matter where you come from, what era you come from, or what kind of ambition you have, you can only follow the general trend, and you can't force it back.

Zhang Yuan sighed softly, he has no ability to rescue all the "slaves" for the time being, even if he is a "count", it is impossible to overthrow the entire era alone. The emergence of any system has its own unique historical significance.

It is impossible to talk to these people about ideals, morality, and so-called sympathy, the economic base determines the superstructure, and without higher productive forces, it is impossible to achieve changes in the system.

The driver "Didi" honked his horn twice, and these noisy crowds went around one after another, and no one dared to come up and beg without their lives. In people's minds, only the wealthiest aristocrats could afford such a steam locomotive. There was a plump woman in Diagonal Port, and she also threw a wink at the handsome little guy in the car...... Maybe you'll be taken aback, even if it's a one-night stand.

After about half an hour, the car arrived at the station, and Zhang Yuan stepped into the gate of the Duke's Palace with heavy steps. Along with the eternal darkness of the night, there is a slightly oppressive aura lingering in the vicinity.

However, the interior of the Duke's Palace is resplendent with bright lights illuminating all corners in all directions, never extinguishing 24 hours a day.

No one likes darkness, and if the lights are not bright enough, they are considered a symbol of the decline of the aristocracy......

……

When he walked through the door, a girl hurriedly ran over and grabbed Zhang Yuan's arm very intimately, this was his sister in this world, Anna.

I don't know why, the whole world will always arrange for him to have a big-eyed, very cute sister, just like Wang Nana in the previous life.

"Long time no see, Anna. How is the business of the candy company? When he saw this cute sister, Zhang Yuan's heart softened.

"Brother, do you care more about the company than I do?" Anna's face furrowed, and she whispered a grumble.

"Haha, I already know you're good, but I don't know what happened to our candy company."

Zhang Yuan knew that this little girl was not as innocent and lively as she seemed to be, but was making trouble in secret. Candy in this world is a luxury, and only the rich can afford to eat it. How could she be a simple girl who could successfully take over her father's plantation, factory, and business?

Because Zhang Yuan was a little autistic when he was a child, his father raised this sister as an heir, so Anna basically took over the operation of various factories within the family.

It wasn't until he recovered from autism and Zhang Yuan showed his talent that his father decided to pass on the title and wealth to his eldest son. After all, in this world, most titles are passed on to men rather than women.

When she thinks that the property she has worked so hard to manage will be taken away by this brother soon, Anna always has a feeling of unwillingness in her heart...... Or maybe some girlfriends and subordinates chewed the root of her tongue in her ear. Even if this subtle hostility is well disguised by the intimacy deliberately created, Zhang Yuan still understands it.

According to the usual plot, it's time to open the "golden finger" in front of the nobles in this dance party and take back all the equity. Since Lord Newtayton brought the true light of technology to this world two hundred years ago, all the nobles have understood the power of technology. Relying on the gold finger in his hand, it is too simple to pretend to be forced to slap his face.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yuan gently hugged Anna and spun around happily, just like when he was a child, both of them smiled in unison.

"What kind of girl does my brother like to look for?" Anna said with a slightly complicated expression.

Aristocrats like them should theoretically have been engaged to baby kisses a long time ago, but Zhang Yuan is an exception, because he had autism earlier.

The real aristocracy is unwilling to marry his daughter to a fool, and Zhang Yuan's father does not want to choose a random girl with the first status to be a doll, so this matter has been delayed.

But now, Zhang Yuan has become a fragrant bun, who knows astronomy and geography, and has a good demeanor, and everyone with a discerning eye knows that this young man has a great future, and has even obtained the title of earl, and has a large amount of property to inherit......

Marrying a daughter used to be a very cost-effective deal.

Zhang Yuan easily understood the complicated look in her eyes, he touched Anna's head, leaned into her ear and said.

"The world is too big to spend a lifetime to experience, and there is no need to waste time on boring intrigues. I won't take what you have, but I'll treat it as a gift to you. ”

"You are my only relative, the only warmth in the world. However, helplessness is the normal state of life, there are too many things that need to change in this world, and the road may be difficult, and you need a little reliance to be able to support yourself to keep moving forward. ”

Anna clenched her skirt, a little overwhelmed.

Zhang Yuan changed the topic: "When looking for a partner, you should also find someone with the same heart, rather than thinking about seeing the other party beautiful." At least find one that looks as good as you. ”

Anna found that her brother was walking towards the ball hall with a graceful and generous step, as if he had a higher degree of ideals and beliefs in his heart. In contrast, she is just a small, a little cautious girl.

She hurriedly chased after her at a trot, talking about some of the minor troubles she encountered while running the company. 's father is dead, and the people below are all ready to move, each with their own calculations, and so-and-so is persuading her to fight for property.

Zhang Yuan said lightly: "The main reason is that the prestige is not enough. You have a lot of ability to afford it, but the people below don't know about it, they just worry about ruining their jobs. Most of the people in the world are wall-to-wall, and if you are strong enough, they won't completely fall to our competitors. ”

"As for the family, I will start the seafaring trade between the islands as soon as possible to prove to the outside world that our family has a successor...... It is enough to do this. ”

Listening to Zhang Yuan's words, Anna gradually quieted down, thinking in her heart.
