Ji Aojian sat lazily on the sand, waiting for the visitor who came to the door today.

As there were still many places on his body that still ached, he closed his eyes slightly and continued to breathe.

I don't know when, a man in black with a long sword on his waist suddenly appeared in front of him, and a pair of shining eyes shone over.

The sword masters of the Americas are not like the swordsmen of Middle-earth with sharp aura, but they are like cobras lurking in the desert, containing unfathomable murderous aura.

Ji Aojian's whole body shook violently, and he couldn't help but sit up straight, and then he only felt a sudden pain in his lower back, and he snorted.

The eyes of the man in black showed ridicule, thinking that if he had made a move, the kid on the other side would have already fallen.

"Mr. Diego, welcome to your visit. Ji Aojian was not embarrassed, and spoke easily.

This time, a hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of the man in black, "You know me?"

"How could I not know a big man like you who has been a governor. Ji Aojian's words turned, "Actually, you don't have to come to the door like this." ”

"Oh?"

"When you're a young man in your twenties, it's really handsome to dress up as a mysterious hero. Ji Aojian said unhurriedly, "But you are now a bearded uncle, and you are still hiding your head and pretending to be tender like this, it is really too stingy." ”

The man in black laughed and threw his black blindfold to the ground, revealing a tough face, as if it had been carved out of granite.

"In that case, I won't talk nonsense. I would like to ask to see the new Governor in the present. ”

Ji Aojian said lightly, "Mr. Diago, you can talk to me about anything." ”

"Are you the Governor?" said Diego for a pause. "But as far as I've heard, the new governor of California should be a little girl. ”

"I am the Governor's brother. Ji Ao Kendao, "Since you know that the governor is a little girl, you should understand that she is a puppet, so I am the boss behind the scenes." ”

"Oh, I used my sister to attract the attention of others. Diego looked at him carefully, "Young man. It seems to me now that you do have the temperament of a big villain. ”

"Prizes have been awarded. Ji Aojian snorted, "Uncle, when you were the governor." Using oneself to divert the attention of others, this temperament is even more extraordinary. ”

Diego got down to business, "So, Mr. the boss behind the scenes of the Governor. I'm coming to the door today. I want to give you a word of advice. ”

"What?"

"There's no need for a governor in California. ”

Ji Aojian asked, "Why?"

"Isn't it nice that every city is self-governing and runs itself?" sighed Diego, "and whatever the governor is, it's just a bunch of corrupt officials and corrupt officials. It has always been for the local people to suffer. ”

It seems that the credibility of the successive governors of California is really low. There is no basis for popular support at all.

"Do you mean that neither the Governor of Spain nor the Governor of Mexico does need California?"

"Yes. ”

Ji Aojian pondered for a while, "It turns out that Mr. Diago's idea is that this place should be the same as ancient Greece, where only various city-states of all sizes should exist, and he does not want a unified government to appear above the city. ”

That's a very apt statement. Diego smiled, "Everyone does think so, there is no need for a unified government in California." ”

"It's called choking. Ji Aojian said disapprerovingly, "Without a unified government, how can a region have a long-term development?"

"California's long-term development?"

"Yes, the people of California have the right to continue to strive for a higher standard of living. Ji Aojian sighed, "Don't say that compared with European countries, in the northeastern part of the United States, the life of the people there is much better than that of California." ”

"Mr. Behind the Scenes, you're not right, San Francisco is no worse than American cities. ”

"It's just a city in San Francisco, and it's a huge part of California where life is still very difficult. Ji Aojian gushed endlessly, "When my sister was the mayor, she worked specifically for the welfare of the people, and she was already a well-known person in the city. Then when she becomes the governor, she will definitely work hard to develop the economy and let the entire California people live the same life as San Francisco. ”

"Blindly thinking about living a good life is not necessarily the right pursuit. Diego Yan said, "Contentment is the only way to be happy." ”

Hey, I didn't think you would suddenly say such a philosophical thing?

Ji Aojian's heart moved, and he suddenly asked in a low voice, "Mr. Diego, in the more than twenty years since Mexico's independence, you have lived happily in your own manor, right?"

Diego nodded, "Grazing, raising flowers, and growing grapes every day is indeed a very leisurely life. ”

I'll go, it turns out that you are really a big landlord class, just like those martial arts families and big sects in our Huaxia, you are all local tyrants, and of course you don't want an authoritarian government to affect your own interests.

No wonder you say "contentment and happiness", isn't this a common phrase for the rich and idle class, pretending to be literary and artistic?

Seeing the class attribute of the other party, Ji Aojian suddenly lost interest in continuing to communicate, and yawned lazily, "Mr. Diego, are you negotiating on behalf of the owners of the manor?

Diego smiled, "That's what Mr. St. George meant. ”

Ji Aojian was stunned for a moment, "What kind of character is St. George?"

"St. George was the great liberator. ”

What is the great liberator? But since you have brought out his name, it must be a very difficult origin.

Ji Aojian asked tentatively, "This is called St. George's liberator, is it even more powerful than you?"

Diego nodded.

At this moment, Ji Aojian was greatly surprised, "How can there be such a powerful master, is it possible, this St. George is your teacher?"

Diego shook his head this time, "My teacher is St. Martin, and he is as famous as St. George. ”

How did another St. Martin come out, well, St. Martin?

A spark suddenly flashed in Ji Aojian's mind, "Could it be that St. Martin who liberated South America with Mr. Bolívar?"

"Yes, these are our three great liberators of the Americas. ”

The Three Great Liberators? Apart from Bolívar and San Martín, what other great liberators were there in the Americas?

After a moment, Ji Aojian took a deep breath, "The St. George you mentioned earlier, is it George Washington of the United States?"

"That's him. Mr. Behind the Scenes, it seems that you have a good understanding of the history of the Americas. ”

Ji Aojian felt that his entire outlook on life was about to be subverted, and the father of the United States, who was nicknamed the "Falling Cherry Blossom God Axe" by later generations, turned out to be really a peerless master?

He made up his mind to comfort himself, it doesn't matter, a few years ago on the Lionheart, didn't he already hear that the emperor of the First French Empire was the great master? It seems that in this turbulent era, the heroes of various countries who can achieve amazing things will not be ordinary people.

"Monsieur Diego, is it true that Bolívar and St. George are still alive, and that they are long since they died?"

"They're just retiring to the countryside. Diego said lightly, "These three great gentlemen will not have a problem even if they live into the next century, but in order to avoid shocking the world, they will announce to the outside world that they have passed away at a certain time." Anyway, in this world, there is nothing that is worth using their original name anymore. ”

can live for nearly a hundred years, this is really the great master, there are at least three great masters in the Americas!

In an instant, Ji Aojian's heart was like a thousand beasts galloping, and the pressure was great.

He slowly stabilized his feelings, and then asked, "Are these three gentlemen all manor factions, and what is their attitude towards industrialization?"

Diego replied without hesitation, "The deformed exhibition of industry is not good for all, the bustling city life will degenerate the soul, and the countryside is the home of human spiritual civilization." ”

Ji Aojian nodded, and from Diego's words, some of his cognition of the world outside Huaxia gradually became clear.

Since the beginning of modern society, not everyone has praised industrialization and urbanization, and is often full of doubts about business and finance. Even those who stand at the forefront of the times do not think that this is the natural way out for mankind. Even in the mid-twentieth century, Indian elites like Gandhi, who had received Western higher education, still clinged to the idea that the roots of human civilization were in the countryside.

After all, thousands of years of pastoral society have made people have a deep-rooted affection for this way of life. In the parliaments, those who belonged to the high-ranking members of the village aristocracy were proud of their origins.

The United States was the only industrialized country in the Americas, and even among its founding fathers, the vast majority of people believed that rural development was the foundation of the nation. This was true of the first president, Washington, the second president, Adams, and the third president, Jefferson. And Hamilton's founders, who advocated prioritizing industry and commerce, were in the minority.

This is true of the United States, which will become an industrial power in the future, not to mention the liberators of the rest of the Americas. Their energies were mainly focused on how to achieve independence and achieve republicanism, but they did not regard industrialization as the fundamental answer to social problems.

Therefore, there is no need to blame China's martial arts masters for being stubborn and conservative and not opening their eyes to the world.

Longing for a leisurely and quiet pastoral life is the common psychology of people all over the world.

If there are martial arts masters abroad, their favorite living environment is still idyllic, and their state of mind is also between mountains and rivers.

They can carry guns and pens to shoulder national responsibilities, to liberate their compatriots, to shed their blood for freedom and independence, and to sign declarations. But after the success, he still returned to his beloved countryside and lived a leisurely life on the estate, only regarding his previous experience as a kind of practice to enter the world.

A smile appeared on Ji Aojian's mouth, it seems that this trip to the Americas is much more difficult than he imagined.
