Chapter 3397 3399 [Mission Ended]

 But some people think that with Xiang Nan’s ability, he might actually be able to build a dam on the Yellow River.

 After all, no one has been able to build bridges across the Yellow River and Yangtze River before. Now, there is already one bridge on the Yangtze River and two bridges on the Yellow River.

Furthermore, things like electricity, trains, railways, ships, airplanes, cars, cameras, etc. are also things in myths and legends, but now they are all created by Xiang Nan.

So everyone is watching the show with their eyes wide open, and they really hope that the Yellow River Dam can be built. That way, many fewer people would die downstream.

 After all, every time the Yellow River floods, thousands or tens of thousands of lives must not be taken away.

 …

In October, the dry season of the Yellow River arrives. Hundreds of thousands of people, hundreds of thousands of carts and carriages, and thousands of large ships loaded with boulders all stop at Bali Gorge.

With the order given, the big ships were scuttled one after another and sank into the river one after another, quickly blocking the river and stagnating the water.

Followed by thousands of kilograms of cement lumps, they were thrown into the river. Although the river was fast, it was difficult to wash them away for a while, which bought precious time to intercept the Yellow River.

Then the peasants swarmed up and used carts and horse-drawn carriages to continuously transport sand, gravel, cement, and steel bars. As the saying goes, if we unite with our will, we can cut off the flow by throwing a whip. In the end, the Yellow River was successfully intercepted, and construction of the dam began.

When people learned that the Yellow River had been successfully intercepted and the dam was actually being built, they couldn't help but feel excited.

To them, this is not only a strange thing, but also a sincere honor.

 After all, this is the Yellow River. It is a great skill to be able to build a dam on the river.

“There has been a saying since ancient times, ‘When the Yellow River is clear, a sage will emerge.’ Our Qing Dynasty is really going to have a sage.”

“Based on what our Long Live Lord has done, it is not an exaggeration to call him a saint.”

“Since he ascended the throne, Long live the Lord, he has conquered the south and the north, conquered the east and killed in the west. He has conquered all barbarians and conquered all the countries. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a saint.”

"The most important thing is that Long Live Lord punishes corrupt officials, kills bullies, relieves the people, and helps the common people. This is the true saint..."

 The people all talked about it, especially the people in the lower reaches of the Yellow River, who had suffered from floods before. Now if the Yellow River could be completely cured, it would be no less than a great joy for them.

 They were naturally grateful and overjoyed. Every family burns incense and prays for the successful completion of the Yellow River Dam.

 …

 Another year has passed, and a quarter of the urban area in the capital has been renovated.

The road was transformed into a smooth road, with flood discharge and drainage systems on both sides. There were light poles and hanging street lights every 30 meters, trash cans every 100 meters, and public toilets every 500 meters.

Many houses along the street are built with four or five floors of steel and concrete, with shops downstairs and people living upstairs. Brand-new roads, clean environment, and dense shops make these urban areas more lively than before. They can be said to be full of tourists and sweating like rain.

When Xiang Nan returned to the Forbidden City, at first glance, he thought he had arrived in an underdeveloped county. Classical and modern intertwined, both strange and harmonious, which made him feel a little emotional.

 As for the Forbidden City, it has been completely renovated. All the previous palaces were demolished and replaced by elaborate villas.

Each palace has three or four floors. Although the floor area remains the same, the practical area has doubled. Moreover, the lighting, ventilation, heating, and thermal insulation properties have been greatly enhanced, which surprised all the concubines.

Having lived in a cramped and cramped palace for most of their lives, now moving to such a large room gave them a feeling of relief.

 The happiest people are actually the palace ladies.

  They could only sleep in Datong bunk before. Several people slept on one bunk, and they were unable to turn over while sleeping. It's different now. Four people share bunk beds and have their own wardrobes. The accommodation environment has been greatly improved.

 …

Soon after returning to the Forbidden City, Ruyi's health deteriorated further.

Although Xiang Nan has been assigned to the hospital, after all, the manpower is sometimes scarce, and she eventually runs out of money. Fortunately, Xiang Nan has started to do most of the things he has to do. The next step is up to Yong Qi, and he has no regrets.

Therefore, Xiang Nan did not force Ruyi to survive. Two months later, Ruyi's life gradually came to an end.

Before leaving, Xiang Nan, the concubines, Si Age Yong Cang, and Da Ge Ge Jingzhi all stayed in front of her bed.

 Ruyi has been the queen for nearly fifteen years. She has always been kind and kind to others, so she is very popular in the palace. Now that she is leaving, who can not be sad.

Especially Hailan, Yihuan, Hanxiangjian and other good sisters who know Ruyi and stay with her, their eyes are red.

"Your Majesty..." Ruyi called softly.

 “I’m here.” Xiang Nan responded.

“Do you still remember the first time we met?” Ruyi asked.

"Of course I remember." Xiang Nan nodded, "We listened to the play "The Horse on the Wall" in Changyin Pavilion."

 “The wall immediately looked at each other from a distance...” Ruyi said softly.

 “I’ll be heartbroken as soon as I see you and know you.” Xiang Nan answered with understanding.

"Your Majesty..." Ruyi smiled and then closed her eyes gently.

Xiang Nan was stunned for a moment, and the circles around his eyes gradually became moist.

His feelings for Ruyi are actually not as deep as Qianlong's for her. He has never favored her over the years. He is just like other concubines.

 But after all, after being together for nearly fifty years, we have been together for such a long time, let alone a person, even an object has feelings.

 So Xiang Nan still felt very sad about Ruyi's departure.

At this time, the concubines, Yong Cang, Jing Zhi and others had already started to cry.

“You go out first, Ruyi likes to be quiet, so let her walk quietly, as long as I accompany her.” Xiang Nan said.

 All the concubines, Yong Cang and Jing Zhi all retreated wiping their tears.

Xiang Nan looked at Ruyi and sighed.

At this moment, a long-lost reminder sounded in his ears, "Hongli thanks the host for fulfilling his wish, staying with Ruyi for the rest of his life, leaving him with a beautiful memory, and fulfilling his biggest regret in life!"

 “The mission is completed, the host is about to return!”

 …

Xiang Nan’s soul was immediately sucked out of Qianlong’s body and thrown into the Light Gate.

Following a sequence of pictures flashed across his eyes.

There are scenes of him choosing Ruyi as his direct descendant, there are scenes of him and Ruyi's wedding, there are scenes of him ascending the throne and becoming emperor, there are scenes of him personally conquering Junggar, there are scenes of him designing and building steam engines, there are scenes of him driving There are scenes of personally conquering the Rakshasa and unifying the world, there are scenes of him making Ruyi his queen, there are scenes of him patrolling the south and west...

 One by one, each one is the best memory.

“Does the host consume the [Memory Stone] to keep all the memories of this life?” At this time, the system prompted again.

Xiang Nan thought for a moment and finally chose "no".

 In "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace", he did not learn new knowledge or master new skills. Moreover, he has already been an emperor in the world of "Eternal Dragon Sword", and he is not interested in inheriting the memory of the emperor again, so it is better not to waste a "memory stone".
