In the library of Hexi Province in the Huaxia Federation

, Lin Jiang was hiding in a corner reading a book. He sneaked in, so he had to be low-key.

Covering the book, Lin Jiang breathed a sigh of relief. After nearly two thousand years, the world is different again.

In the 3901st year of the Xia calendar, Lin Jiang gave up his throne to Tian Yuming. After that, the Tian family has always been the master of Datong. The Tian family has produced seven generations of wise rulers, and Datong has been fighting against monsters. It

took Datong five hundred years to completely destroy the monsters. From Qingzhou in the era of cultivating immortals, it swept across Zhongzhou, Youzhou, Liangzhou and even further away,

and completely wiped out the monsters. During these five hundred years, weapons were updated and iterated very quickly. A large number of extremely powerful weapons have been developed. While eliminating monsters, warriors were almost eliminated.

Think about it, a human race started practicing martial arts from childhood, practicing in the hottest days of summer and the coldest days of winter, practicing hard for more than ten years, and finally became a congenital warrior, but was shot down by the enemy. What kind of feeling is that? So no one practiced martial arts slowly, and the world order was in the hands of mortals.

While the warriors also withdrew from the stage of history, industry and commerce developed vigorously, so the buds of capitalism began, and they developed rapidly in the following hundreds of years.

The development of capitalism promoted the improvement of productivity, and a new bourgeoisie emerged, so the world's great geographical discoveries also appeared.

To the west of Liangzhou, there is still a vast land. To the east of Haizhou, across the vast sea, there is also a continent and various islands. These places are all produced by human race, but their society is very backward, so colonization began.

In the following hundreds of years, the capitalists of Datong State obtained a lot of wealth through colonization. They were no longer willing to have a low social status, so they began to seek power. At the same time, the feudal dynasty began to decline after nearly a thousand years of development, and the strength of each other increased and decreased.

So the bourgeois revolution appeared. After more than a hundred years of revolution, restoration, and revolution, the bourgeoisie won. The emperor of the last Datong Dynasty was sent to the guillotine, and the Huaxia Federation replaced the Datong Dynasty.

During this period, the Zhou Dynasty and the Xian Kingdom also experienced several changes of dynasties. At the same time, the bourgeoisie in their countries was also strong and was encouraged by the Huaxia Federation. They also ended the rule of the feudal dynasty. But

this world is not just about their three countries. In Zhongzhou, Youzhou, Liangzhou and other places, after the fall of the monsters, these territories were occupied by the human race. Although they were all immigrants from the Three Kingdoms, their strength was also growing. When the bourgeois revolution took place in the Three Kingdoms, they became independent and established a large number of countries.

And after hundreds of years of development, they came from behind (without a large number of feudal remnants) and became a powerful country that could stand shoulder to shoulder with the Three Kingdoms.

To establish a country with capitalism, colonies are needed to dump goods and make profits. However, the land around the world has been divided up by the three countries, and there is no land for them to stand on. The three countries have also set up many trade barriers, which makes the new powers very dissatisfied.

They began to seize colonies with the three countries. They used ethnic conflicts and supported new agents to plunder many colonies from the three countries. Of course, there was no lack of cooperation among them to suppress those colonies that might get rid of them.

Hundreds of years passed like this. Although the development of science and technology was very slow in these hundreds of years, it was incomparable to the previous period, and productivity had greatly improved. After the improvement of

productivity, the products of various countries were in surplus, so the economic crisis emerged. The best way to get rid of the economic crisis was naturally war.

So the countries in Zhongzhou united and formed the Allied Powers, marched south, attacked the three countries, and prepared to defeat the three countries and let the three countries sign unequal treaties to cede their colonies.

The three countries would naturally not surrender, and their friendship had lasted for hundreds and thousands of years, so the Allied Powers was also established, and a war broke out between the two sides.

This is a war that affects the entire world. Their war is not just on this continent, but also includes colonies, oceans and the sky. It has been going on for seven or eight years now, and countless people have died, but there is still no sign of a result. The war still needs to be fought, after all, the national strength of both sides has not been exhausted.

········

"This is the world now. Electric lights have long been available, and so have ironclad ships. Now we should say that we have battleships. Aircraft have also appeared, but it seems to be only at the level of World War I. No, the current situation in the world is World War I."

Lin Jiang sighed. The world situation in front of him gave him a sense of déjà vu. Isn't this World War I? A war for colonies.

But the current war made Lin Jiang very worried, because he knew that war was the fastest way to upgrade technology. Humans can exert incredible potential to win the war. What if nuclear weapons were developed? What should they do then? Will they, as immortal cultivators, still have face?

"Damn tomb robbers"

When Lin Jiang thought of this, he was immediately angry again. If it weren't for those tomb robbers, he could have gone to sleep for hundreds of years and wait until the war was over.

But even though he was angry, Lin Jiang quickly calmed down and planned a way out for himself. Now he was staying in Hexi Province, one of the 132 provinces of the Huaxia Federation.

The former fifty-one states have changed again. The Huaxia Federation has expanded a lot of territory in the west and south. Some states have too much territory and can only be split up. Later, they evolved into provinces. Now it is a system of provinces, cities and counties.

Hexi Province is considered a relatively poor province in the Huaxia Federation, because it is deep inland. In this era, transportation is very important. The coastal provinces of the Huaxia Federation are relatively wealthy.

A few days later, Lin Jiang sold several gold ingots and exchanged them for the current Huaxia coins. Then he found the local gangsters and paid them to make an identity for him, a legal and valid identity.

Then he took a train to the former Haizhou, which is now the Bianhai Province, which is one of the richest provinces in the Huaxia Federation.

Lin Jiang made a plan for himself to make himself rich first. Lin Jiang had carefully considered it. In this era, cameras and the like already exist. Before the spiritual energy is revived, no secrets can be exposed, otherwise they will really be sliced ​​and studied.

The poor obviously have no sense of security in this era. They are likely to be used as cannon fodder. Therefore, being a rich person is the safest kind, especially if you can control it behind the scenes.

The trains in this era are extremely slow, and not every place has a railway. After going around in circles and changing trains seven or eight times, it took more than a month to enter the Bianhai Province.

Entering the provincial capital, Haigang City, Lin Jiang seemed to be in New York City in the 20th century on Blue Star. There are still ancient buildings on the West River, but here there are high-rise buildings, and there are scenes of feasting and revelry everywhere, which is completely like two different worlds.

"More than 30-story buildings, elevators, airplanes, and even movies are all here. This is modern life."

Lin Jiang spent a few days and found that this place is not much different from the modern society he remembered. Banks and stock exchanges have been around for hundreds of years. There are even taxis on the streets. There are huge cruise ships on the beach. If this is not modern, then what is it?

"Where should I start?"

Lin Jiang was a little worried. Although this era was a little similar to his memory, the two were not the same. As a time traveler, he did not have the ability to predict the future.

Moreover, the division of labor in society became more and more detailed, and some of his previous skills might not be useful. How to quickly earn wealth was a big problem.

"How about taking the treasure?"

Lin Jiang remembered the treasures he had left behind. There were nine of them. There were at least tens of thousands of pounds of gold, silver, and jewelry. If he took them all out, he could become a rich man.

However, Lin Jiang quickly rejected this idea. Without enough strength, bringing out so much wealth, wouldn't that make him a fat sheep? His current martial arts strength was not enough. In this era, airplanes and cannons had already appeared.

"Forget it, don't rush, stay calm first."

Lin Jiang pondered for a moment and decided to learn more about this era, especially the current war situation. He must understand it before making the best judgment and choice, so as not to harm himself.
