When Tom Wales got out of the boat and stood on the pier, he felt that the whole world was spinning.

This is very normal for a person who has been on a boat for half a year.

"We have come to the New World!"

"My God, we have come to the land of gold!"

……

Tom was surrounded by people who were crying and hugging each other, but he was alone, standing alone on the pier.But Tom was not discouraged. Instead, he looked at the land of gold that had been discussed countless times with great ambition. He said softly: "New World, America, the America of the first industrial revolution, I will conquer you next." Already!"

As he spoke, Tom couldn't help laughing wildly with his hands on his hips.

I don't care about the mentally retarded eyes of the people around me.

Tom didn't pay attention to those people at all. After all, he was different from these natives. Tom was a time traveler from modern society. His real name was Ye Shijie, and he was a golden phoenix who came out of a mountain village. University, also found a beautiful girlfriend.

It's a pity that all of this left him within a year of graduating from university. The pride of a prestigious university could not make Ye Shijie a blockbuster immediately after entering the workplace. I don't have much savings.

This is not the worst, the worst thing is that after a year, the girlfriend met a better man in the workplace and broke up with him just like that. The night Ye Shijie got drunk and had an accident, it was the girlfriend who got engaged to someone else That day.

"You don't do anything when you get home. I have to come back after work to cook and wash the dishes. Even when the toilet paper is gone, you won't bring a pack along the way... Ye Shijie, I'm really fed up."

"Don't you just dislike me for having no money?!" Ye Shijie thought of him being angry and astonished at the time, how could such a beautiful love in college fade away so quickly after leaving the society?

"Ye Shijie! Feel your conscience! We both earn about the same amount. You remit half of your parents to your parents every month, and you give the rest to me. Let us spend all my money together, my father My mother secretly remits money to me every month..." My girlfriend is actually a very delicate girl and a gentle person, but at that time, Ye Shijie noticed that her face was flushed with anger and her eyes were full of tears.

... Does Ye Shijie really not know this?

He actually knew it all.

It's just that he is too proud. He was the best among his peers since he was a child. He came out of the backcountry and was the best in the city. He came to the imperial capital as the provincial champion, but he did not expect that the real When it comes to outstanding talent, he has never been the only one who can be proud of the world.

In Imperial University, there are almost as many provincial champions as there are class cadres in each class. Being able to study is already a necessary bottom line. Beyond the bottom line, there are so many outstanding people, who can speak three or four languages, and are proficient in other languages. Several musical instruments, calligraphy and paintings began to participate in the exhibition...Ye Shijie worked so hard, but found that he still couldn't catch up with them.

What's even more frightening is that this sense of powerlessness becomes even more severe after stepping into society.

The workplace needs not only people who can do things, but also teamwork and communication. Only people with excellent expressive skills can be remembered by the boss and become the backbone of being reused and cultivated.

Ye Shijie slowly became depressed.

He scolded the system and the company's personnel struggle, and scolded all the people and things that made him feel unfair. He became addicted to games and American dramas. After the holiday, he only complained and played games.

On the day of the breakup, he realized in astonishment that although they slept together, he hadn't looked at his girlfriend's face for a long time.

"...I will succeed, I am the chosen one!" His girlfriend's crying face made Ye Shijie's heart tighten. He gritted his teeth and told himself that he was not wrong, even if he was wrong, it was a matter of his previous life.

His life had just begun, he was so lucky that he opened his eyes again after getting drunk and had an accident, at first Ye Shijie was still cursing himself for being so unlucky to be born in a war-torn continent.

The entire continent is at war, and it is actually a boring paladin who has been fighting with the alliance headed by the Nat Empire for many years in order to maintain the temple. This war has continued for more than ten years. Although it will not affect anything, it is getting more and more serious. Many freedmen began to save money and move their families to the New World.

It’s not because of anything else, but it’s said that the New World is completely different from the old one. There is a land of gold everywhere. People there can eat soft sweet bread and fresh milk. People there can eat meat every day. , there are no strict rules of the temple, commoners don’t even have to kneel to the nobles, there are not even slaves there, everyone can get decent and paid for their work...

After Ye Shijie came back to life, he found that his original body and his family had all died in a cold. He was deciding whether to join the war in the Old Continent and make a career when he heard someone talking about the New Continent.

No matter how it sounds, it sounds like the first industrial revolution happened in the New World. There are steam engines and factories there. All life sounds much better than this country... The only delusion of conferring kings and ministers is actually seeing someone being raped by nobles. After being hanged directly, Ye Shijie simply chose to sell all the valuables at home, and set foot on the boat to the New World.

Ye Shijie didn't have a lot of money, everyone wanted to go to the New World, and the ticket was very expensive, and one of the beds in a six-person third-class cabin cost almost all of Ye Shijie's property.

There was still food and drink on the way, no matter how economical Ye Shijie was, when he set foot on the New World, he only had a measly two pennies left in his hands.

Ye Shijie has registered—the New World has a civil registration office at the pier, and it is said that they need to guarantee that these people are not criminals—it is very simple for people who come to join their relatives, such as Ye Shijie, they have to take out the registry issued by the ship owner to search, and then to be let go.

The people who got off the ship were very different from the residents of the New World.People in the New World are generally strong and ruddy, and even young girls walk with their chests upright, with confident and satisfied smiles on their faces, while those who get off the boat are generally very flustered and haggard, and only dare to cry when they see their relatives...

"After registration, you can go to the pier to take a carriage to the town, and then take the train to the central city of the Freedom Federation. There are many job opportunities there. I wish you luck, young man." After registration, the young clerk said to Ye Shijie .

Ye Shijie smiled and nodded very complacently. Of course he couldn't wait. For the people of the Old World, this pier is so clean and magnificent that it is unbelievable. "'s words make people deeply aware of what kind of rich place they have come to.

But for a modern person, everything here is very common, and Ye Shijie can't wait to go to the central city. Although it is difficult to settle there, it is very prosperous and has many opportunities.

"Hey, you boy, wait for me!" Ye Shijie walked for a while, and a young man who got off the boat chased after him calling his name, still thinking, "I just asked, and it is said that the small town here is There are a lot of jobs on the site, and the hotel is recruiting young people to help attract guests. It is said that powerful people can get five or six pounds a month, and the guarantee is two pounds a month. I plan to go there so that I can save money quickly I brought my sister and my parents... Tom, do you want to come with me?"

This is Ye Shijie's fellow cabin crew on the ship, and he is a very friendly peer, so Ye Shijie has established a relatively good relationship with him. Of course, Ye Shijie feels that this mediocre young man is just his companion on the road. But I don't have the patience to listen to his long-winded life in the country.

"Jerry, I'm going to Central City, goodbye!" Ye Shijie smiled, and patted Jerry, "Come on, I wish your wish come true!"

Many people in the old continent are like this now, the whole family saves money to send the youngest child over to work, and then the child with a higher salary takes over the whole family.

The New World treats all residents equally. This place is developing rapidly. For those who come, after registration, they can find a job and then buy land to settle down.

"Central City? Okay." Jerry actually wanted to be with Ye Shijie, but he had no choice but to give up when he heard that Jerry was going to Central City. Unlike Ye Shijie who had no worries, Jerry carried the hopes of the whole family. , compared to Central City, which he doesn’t understand, Jerry hopes to make money immediately, and there are many opportunities at the pier, with a large flow of people. In addition to the income from work, he can also get tips from part-time jobs. Jerry doesn’t dare to take risks at will.

All he could do was wave his hands and say, "Good luck, Tom!"

Ye Shijie smiled coolly, and just said goodbye to the friend he met on the way. He only bought a sweet bun on the way, and gnawed on the train all the way.

The central city is indeed a very prosperous place. Huge walls and moats surround the towns outside the central city. Steam trains pass through the villages with smoke, and you can also see blonde women in modern European-style dresses. Holding an umbrella, walking in the mountains not far away.

If you have a mobile phone, you can take a picture of a European village anywhere.

From Ye Shijie’s point of view, there are already European styles from the 18th to 19th centuries here. Although there are also simple small houses, they are all built more delicately and beautifully. The sunshine makes people want to praise the beauty of life.

But all of this is still incomparable to the shock of the central city.

The central city is very large, and the city wall is said to have been built for many years, but it has not really been completed yet.But in fact, this is already within the scope of the inner city. When you get off the train, there is already a prosperous town, where horse-drawn carts and ox carts shuttle around to solicit customers. This is still outside the outer city.

"It only costs five pence to go to the central city now! Five pennies can get you to the inner city gate of the central city!" The coachmen shouted enthusiastically to everyone. In the old continent, this was still a means of transportation for the nobles, but in the new continent, it has become a public transport bus The car is similar, but the carriage is not so exquisite, and the horses are mostly old horses.

It is said that this is what the Black Duke meant. He sold the eliminated horses for slaughter to ordinary people at a low price, so that they could learn how to raise them and build public transportation.

"I'm going! I'm going too!" Ye Shijie was still hesitating when someone got into the car ahead.

In fact, quite a few people went to the central city in the past. After all, there are many opportunities there, but Ye Shijie was very puzzled. He murmured to himself in a low voice: "The inner city of the central city? Isn't that a place that cannot be entered casually?"

"... You just came to the New World, right?" When Ye Shijie was at a loss, a middle-aged woman with a smile suddenly spoke up beside him.

"Yes." Ye Shijie looked at himself, a little annoyed, he was dressed too shabby, and he didn't wash up properly, that's why people could tell where he was from at a glance.

"No," the middle-aged woman smiled, obviously understanding what Ye Shijie was thinking, and she said excitedly, "Because everyone in the Free Federation knows that the day after tomorrow is the wedding of Lord Black Duke and his boyfriend, everyone can Going to the inner city to watch the ceremony, fortunately you arrived today, we are the last batch to set off, and the boats arriving tomorrow, I am afraid that there will be no one waiting for you, everyone wants to see the Duke and the future Duchess!"

The woman's smile was full of pride and satisfaction, but Ye Shijie was dumbfounded, and he repeated in surprise: "The duke and his boyfriend are getting married?!"

It doesn't make sense, the old continent is still at war at this time, the temple is still angrily denouncing medicine as a blasphemous existence, and cutting up a human body for surgery is simply a disturbing demon... In Ye Shijie's memory, there is Nat The picture of the wandering doctor of the empire being caught and hanged...

One of the biggest death sentences in the temple is same-sex love.

In the New World, the supreme leader who has not ascended the throne yet, established the Free Federation, and has always been called the Black Duke, but is actually the supreme leader of the Free Federation, actually wants to marry a man? !

Ye Shijie was shocked.

But his shock was misunderstood. The smiling woman in front of her eyes slowly became stiff, and she asked with hostility and vigilance: "...Are you a believer in God?"

"What?" Ye Shijie asked back, startled immediately, and quickly said, "I don't believe in God."

The Freedom Federation has a special rule. Fanatics and missionaries are not welcome, and believers in God are not allowed to enter the central city.Ye Shijie had been reminded when he registered, but he was not interested in the foolishness of the temple, and he did not pursue it.At this time, seeing the expression of the person in front of him turn sour, he quickly denied it.

He didn't believe in God and didn't discriminate against anything, Ye Shijie quickly explained: "I'm just a little surprised."

"So that's how it is." The couple in front of them, as well as the local residents who listened to their words, changed their complexions for the better.Along the way, Ye Shijie heard this group of people start to talk about the origin of the Freedom Federation from the exiles of the mountain people to the land of gold spread by all the sea people in the past 20 years...

The more Ye Shijie heard it, the more he felt something was wrong.

The grand plan to get rich in his head seems a little more and more dangerous - Glass was born more than 100 years ago, and the future duchess, the son of a squire named Lance, brought the underappreciated public health and medicine In this era, the soap even has an antiseptic herbal version; he discovered Dr. Charlemagne and established modern medicine, and his brother is now an earl, with the First Federal Hospital and the medical equipment research and development department in his hands; these It's all small things. He planned and prepared the central city, the most important economic and strategic center in the entire New World, and developed irrigation and mulberry fishing farmland and other planting technologies. Not only that, he also vigorously developed shipping, important modern food crops, and research and development of agricultural talents. All of them have been included in the national protection department; more importantly, under his influence, the Black Duke, who originally only valued land and military affairs, turned his attention to the sea. Safety……

Although in fact, according to some rumors, as long as you hang the Black Duke logo, you will not be robbed, and the person who robbed at sea was hinted by the old noble who moved his family and was unfortunately robbed, it seems that he is still an acquaintance of everyone, That is, the friend of the Black Duke, the famous Marquis of the Rose—His Excellency the Marquis of Raven...

Ye Shijie listened and felt that his way of making a fortune, originally planned to be a blockbuster and use some knowledge in the future to make money, suddenly collapsed at this moment.

Ways to get rich quick, easy ways, seem to have been figured out.

For the rest, it is either to fight steadily, or to think of a hard way.

Ye Shijie's mood was extremely complicated.

It seems that before him, there was already a fellow who was definitely a fellow, who took the first step on the road of getting rich and gaining power.Not only that, this fellow is still gay, and he actually fooled this aboriginal duke!

Jealousy towards that fellow countryman welled up in Ye Shijie's heart.

Those simple, easy roads are already blocked, how can he be so unlucky every time? !

The carriage ran forward.

Ye Shijie had mixed feelings in his heart at the moment.

He still walked into the inner city the next day and saw the grand wedding of the century. The Duke was standing on the wall of the castle with a blond man in a white suit waving to everyone.

In fact, the distance is too far, and no one can see the two people on the wall clearly.

But everyone could see that the unsmiling Black Duke had been hugging his lover's slender waist, and he never took his hands off his body for even a second from the beginning to the end.

Happiness does not need to be close, it can be smelled from a distance.

Ye Shijie raised his head, his heart was full of jealousy for power, and he was angry, thinking——that should be his right.

And when Ye Shijie was gritting his teeth, he didn't think about what he would encounter next - he would spend all his spare money, but he still didn't find a noble and simple way to make a fortune.

He will lose everything about himself.

He would go hungry and have to accept handouts.

Then one day, he started getting a job offer.

He never stood on that city wall in his life.

But with his extraordinary vision, he finally became the person in charge of a certain industry under the Earl.

He has his own wife and three angelic children.

He had even met the elder brother of that fellow countryman—that is a very gentle middle-aged man, his emerald green eyes were filled with tenderness, and his temperament was steady and gentle. Ye Shijie was going to a prom that time , he saw the adult holding his freckled wife from a distance, surrounded by a large group of children.

It is said that the oldest child was in the castle and was educated by the heir. He had a proud and strong personality, like his mother, who was the younger sister of His Excellency Alexander. She was a woman who was destined to leave her name in history. Her understanding of modern medicine Mastery, it is said that she is almost on par with her teacher.

And the same with the kid, smart and strong, but mischievous and sometimes annoying.

Ye Shijie heard the aristocratic women laughing and saying in private that even the most gentle Lord Lance had been beaten by the young duke with his sleeves rolled up in anger.

At this time, Ye Shijie was no longer jealous.

He thought of his girlfriend's crying face, thought of his anger and jealousy, thought of the injustice and resentment he felt when he first came to this era...

After those days of struggle ended, sitting down at the dining table in my house, smelling the aroma of delicious food, watching my wife and noisy children...all the emotions passed, and eventually became A gentle smile.

The writing style and time are limited, so I can't seriously think about it... However, I am really happy, thank you everyone who accompanied me all the way.

It's so cool to finish writing!

Well, the mountains and rivers meet each other, everyone, see you in the rivers and lakes by fate!
