Immediately afterwards, the emperor personally experienced the convenience brought by technology.
The modern concrete ground, high-rise buildings, bicycles, motorcycles, cars, and high-speed trains were what shocked him the most.
The weapons were still incredibly powerful, far exceeding his expectations.
"This...this is what the future will look like?"
After experiencing it for a while, the emperor looked at the dancing beauties on his phone and exclaimed with admiration, "I thought I had seen countless beauties, but I never expected that there were so many fairy-like beauties hidden among the common people!"
Yun Zhourong and Ji Minxiu exchanged a glance, both secretly smiling to themselves.
They would never say that it's because the people in the short videos all use beauty filters, and that the beauties the emperor saw were the real ones.
However, they didn't say it outright, but coughed twice and said, "Yes, future technological development will make the world more and more convenient, but the premise is that we must provide a good development environment."
Upon hearing this, the emperor's previously excited expression vanished, and he fell silent.
Seeing this, Ji Minxiu and Yun Zhourong exchanged a glance, but said nothing and simply waited quietly.
They knew that changing a person was not easy, especially someone like the emperor whose feudal ideas were deeply ingrained.
After a while, just as Yun Zhourong was dozing off with her head resting on Ji Minxiu's shoulder, the emperor finally spoke without anger, "What kind of behavior is this?"
My daughter has been missing for decades, and I haven't even had a chance to properly cherish her before I learned that she has gotten married and had children.
This brat has stolen his precious little darling!
"Your Majesty, we are already married," Yun Zhourong said with a hint of helplessness.
"Hmph, can't you really just call me Father Emperor?" the emperor said, sounding aggrieved.
"Then we'll see how you perform," Yun Zhou said coolly.
"Eh..."
Seeing this, the emperor put down his phone, sighed, and asked, "Does your elder brother also agree with your ideas?"
Yun Zhourong nodded, "Yes, that's right."
"If that's the case, what's the use of me insisting any longer? The country will eventually be handed over to him anyway."
The emperor said somewhat dejectedly, "However, the thought that my Zhao family's empire will be cut off, how can I face my ancestors then?"
"Your Majesty, do you wish for lasting fame or fleeting glory?"
Yun Zhourong knew that the emperor was wavering, so she quickly pressed her advantage and said, "Look at this. He has already become a great man who will be remembered for thousands of years. If you were to do this, you would be the greatest, most visionary, and most powerful emperor in history. I believe that our ancestors would be proud of you."
"really?"
Upon hearing this, the emperor finally agreed to read the relevant historical records.
After reading it, he didn't remain silent for long this time. He finally calmed down and nodded, "New talents emerge in every generation. Now it's your world, young people. I really should step down."
"Your Majesty, do you agree?" Yun Zhourong asked with delight.
"Then, do you still call him Your Majesty?" the emperor asked, glancing at Yun Zhourong.
Yun Zhou smiled sweetly, "Father!"
"Ah!" The emperor was now completely satisfied.
After the emperor agreed, he stayed on Qiongzhou Island to live out his retirement.
Everything was on track, but Zhao Xuanheng was forced to take charge of the entire country, which infuriated him.
The original agreement was that he would only act as regent, and after the new country was established, he and Zhou Yueshan could live a life of their own.
As it turned out, Ji Minxiu, that old fox, actually told him that this was just a temporary expedient, and that he was originally intended to be the manager.
After all, as a descendant of royalty, they already have prestige among the people, making things much easier for them.
Although he cursed Ji Minxiu hundreds of times in his heart, his sense of patriotism and responsibility still made him take on the task, and he devoted himself to the development of the country.
Meanwhile, the talents that Ji Minxiu cultivated have also come in handy, shining brightly in various places.
Ancient nations, standing on the shoulders of their ancestors, were developing technology at an unprecedented pace, even faster than anticipated.
As someone capable of traversing two worlds, Ji Minxiu naturally witnessed these changes firsthand.
In the modern world, the first thing to change is clothing.
Traditional Chinese costumes have not been interrupted. Hanfu and ethnic minority costumes have all appeared naturally on the streets, and people wear them as everyday clothes. They are no longer mistaken for theatrical costumes.
This is what makes Ji Minxiu most gratified.
Secondly, in terms of science and technology, it can almost be described as a leap forward.
Every time he returned from ancient times, he saw that the modern world had undergone tremendous changes, which could be described as changing rapidly.
Ninety years later
A century has passed in the blink of an eye, and modern China has ushered in the day foretold.
Thanks to Ji Minxiu and his team's efforts, the technology of the entire planet has been advanced by a thousand years, with huge breakthroughs in gene technology and medicine.
It not only completely solves the problems of Alzheimer's disease and cancer, but also greatly slows down aging and increases lifespan.
Nowadays, except in special circumstances, the lifespan of humans on Earth can reach 500 years.
Therefore, although Ji Minxiu and Yun Zhourong are now over 120 years old, they still look like they were young.
"Minxiu, I'm worried about you!" Yun Zhourong leaned against Ji Minxiu's chest, holding his waist tightly, unwilling to let go.
Although future technology has made great progress, a time machine has still not been developed. Therefore, this time, Ji Minxiu can only face the apocalypse on his own.
Ji Minxiu was also aware of the danger this time; no one knew just how powerful those aliens were.
But to avoid worrying Yun Zhourong, she reassured him, "Don't worry, have you forgotten that I can travel freely through time and space? If things go wrong, I'll run back immediately."
"Okay, promise me you'll stay alive." Yun Zhourong was finally relieved.
After all, Ji Minxiu's stay in ancient times has now been extended to a year. Even if things don't turn around there in the future, Ji Minxiu can still avoid danger by returning to ancient times.
"Yes, if something unexpected happens, only if I survive can I continue to look for opportunities to change the future," Ji Minxiu assured him.
"Um."
Yun Zhourong nodded and assured her, "Don't worry, I'll take care of everything at home. I'll wait for you to come back safely!"
"Okay, take care of yourself!"
Ji Minxiu placed a kiss on Yun Zhourong's forehead, then reluctantly let it disappear.
"Mr. Ji, you're finally back!"
Upon seeing him, all the top officials of modern China gathered around, pointing anxiously at the virtual screen and exclaiming, "Look, the aliens have really arrived!"
