The next day, Gao Xu realized why the tour guide named Mona would use a tentative tone when he mentioned his daily salary. It turned out that the daily salary of ordinary people in the local area was between three and four, and this was still the income of those who had jobs.

When Gao Xu was a company clerk, his daily salary was about 170 yuan. He neglected the exchange rate of Mingyuan and did not realize that Ming people earned more than 40 times the income. No wonder Mona said that she only serves Ming people, and it is difficult to determine whether the reason was because of "Ming people are polite."

Local prices are not necessarily low. For example, Yang Kui, who was driving, sold for the Shanhu brand off-road vehicle, was more than twice that in Ming Dynasty. The only one with the lowest price should be food. It is said that the official government provides a large financial subsidy every year.

Yesterday the French couple complained that the locals were not punctual and lazi, and probably thought that this was the case in the tropical areas. But Gao Xu now thought that if he had a salary of three or four yuan a day and could not see the channels for improvement, he would definitely work hard at work, and his mentality was very Buddhist.

But Mona was not like this. She had been waiting in the hall very early, and did her homework, with a small notebook for explanation, and was very serious.

Four people got on the off-road vehicle early in the morning and set off for the city.

After chatting in the car for a while, Gao Xu suggested that the topic was finally made Mona take the initiative to tell the story of the black girl yesterday. So Yang Kui should have understood naturally that the reason why Gao Xu would find a tour guide by himself was a coincidence, rather than a subconscious mutual control, supervision, or a little lack of trust.

When approaching the city, a large area of ​​wasteland appeared on the roadside, with many small houses built on it. Some dirty people just got up and were coming out of the small house. Gao Xu turned around and observed the scene outside.

"Graveyard." Mona said in her voice.

Gao Xu turned his head and looked at her. She pointed to the small house outside, "It was a tomb built by the rich, and it has not been used yet."

He immediately understood what it meant. The person living inside was a homeless vagabond. He didn't say anything, and the car fell silent.

Everyone took a bus to the city, as if they had entered another yellow world full of garbage from the civilized area in the other side of the hotel. Yesterday's tour was over, and there were occasionally old tanks passing by on the road, and soldiers with live ammunition were often seen.

However, the popularity of the city is indeed good. There are many people on the street early in the morning. Men of all ages and young are sitting on small stools on the roadside, smoking a large metal container of hookahs, and black tea and sugar on the wooden boards. People chatting lazyly made Gao Xu who saw the tank gradually less nervous. The locals looked very friendly. When they saw the faces of oriental people by the car window, they would smile and wave to greet him.

Miaojin asked, "Is there no industry?"

"There are textile factories," Mona said. "Originally, Ming Dynasty helped us to train workers. But later, too many countries and regions made textile and garments, and the costs in some places were lower. Now the textile factories are not prosperous."

Gao Xu said: "The more the industry reaches the bottom, the more fierce the competition."

Mona agreed with a smile, "Yes, business people are the same."

Gao Xu said again: "Maybe it depends on education."

Mona shook her head and said, "Our schools and literate people may not be as good as Ming, but they are higher than many countries. People with poor families often immigrate if they have talent and real talents. Most of the people with education go to the public department of the main government, with about 6 million people, and their income is not good."

In an instant, Gao Xu seemed to have forgotten that he was just a civilian. He pondered for a long time and spoke again, "It still lacks traditional expectations. If everyone is fully convinced that studying can make money by becoming an official, there will be a large number of young and strong people in a certain period of time. For the future of their children and families, they work hard to do dirty and tiring low-income work to accumulate capital for social innovation, rather than smoking hookahs when they are full and falling into stagnation."

No one responded to Gao Xu's words, Miao Jin just looked at him with a wry smile. The recession made Gao Xu return to reality. He was no longer the one who controls the movement of heaven and earth. The audience was no longer the one who helped the world and was dedicated to shining the Great Mingzong Society. Moreover, they were talking about other people's affairs, and everyone was not too concerned about it.

Mona stared blankly out the window, with her eyes full of yellow unfinished buildings and slow-moving passers-by. She had a sad face for a while. When she noticed that Gao Xu was observing her, she turned her head and showed a sweet and relaxed smile.

Gao Xu no longer talked about the topic of reality. They were originally looking at the relics from thousands of years ago. Moreover, he had just arrived at this place and had no in-depth understanding at all. He only saw the surface. He was just talking nonsense and meaningless.

Yang Kui parked his car outside the museum, and was still a distance from the gate because there was no parking there. So Gao Xu and Miao Jin followed Mona to the museum. Many people gathered around along the way and wanted to chat with Gao Xu Miao Jin. Mona told them to ignore it.

However, there are still Ming people on the roadside, sitting with locals, gesturing and communicating, and smoking hookahs. Now some Ming people like to run around and are not afraid of risks. Gao Xu is not an adventurer, but because of his high security and defense level in the past, he has formed the habit of being cautious.

There are a large number of cultural relics in the museum. Gao Xu didn't know much about history, but he just looked at it. After looking around, he only had some strange and vague images in his mind, including words that he couldn't understand, reliefs, gold products, etc. The one who impressed him was two mummies, because Mona introduced that it was the mummy of the pharaoh and the queen. But Gao Xu turned around and forgot the name of the pharaoh, so the impression was just like this.

It is said that the Pharaohs were very young and had a beautiful love story that carved love on a golden chair. After thousands of years, they could still appear in front of the world for exhibitions.

Gao Xu speculated that the kings and nobles saved their bodies, obviously not for the sake of tourism for the whole world, but for eternal life. This is a story of pursuing eternal life earlier than Qin Shihuang. Of course, in the eyes of Gao Xu, who also became emperors, such an ending was rather tragic.

After walking around like a lantern, the four of them left the museum and according to the itinerary, they headed straight to the Pyramid of Khufu and the human-faced sphinx in the southwest.

Here is another story about eternal life.

The pyramid is surrounded by loess and sand, and no grass grows. The sky is gray and does not know whether it is haze or dust. Without the contrast of large buildings, the pyramid looks very grand and shocking.

Compared to being able to view from a distance, they are all mythical images of bricks, with a human-faced sphinx, Gao Xu is obviously more interested in the tombs of the Pharaohs and the pyramids that pursue eternal life.

He was just a little up, so he looked up at the special-shaped remains, and was stunned for a while. Mona and others didn't say much, followed by watching.

With the huge amount of stones, the pyramid made the spire deep into the sky, as if receiving some energy from the universe, giving the immortal magic power of the pharaoh mummies buried below. Gao Xu, with his guess, suddenly felt that the pharaohs were extremely imaginative.

But the effect is seriously questionable.

What exactly is the energy from the universe or the sky? Electricity, gravity, and space distortion? People in ancient times were not clear, and of course they didn't understand what materials could absorb. But it still did not prevent the pharaohs from using the power of the whole country to build such a large grave and make themselves into mummies. It was very crazy and was simply a desperate bet.

The tourists around were obviously sneering at the beliefs of the ancients, and the tourists were joking and watching with great enthusiasm. Some people climbed up and peered into it unscrupulously in a tombstone cave not far from the bottom.

Gao Xu and Miao Jin walked slowly around and watched. They also looked like modern people. Gao Xu was wearing trousers, half-sleeved pullovers and sunglasses. Miao Jin was covered tightly with his lips, and his lips were blemished. His image was incompatible with this vicissitudes of history and was similar to the tourists around him. But their feelings were obviously different from those around them.

Perhaps modern people should not mock the Pharaohs, because today there are still rich people who drain their blood and freeze them. Compared with the Pharaohs, the difference seems to be intrinsically different.

After a long time, Gao Xu spoke: "You are right, any religion is born from death."

But soon the simplest reality of life brought them back from the abstract ancient topic. A man led the camel and said, "Camel, come from each other." Then he started to speak in words that he couldn't understand.

Gao Xu looked embarrassed: "Who taught you the dialect?"

The person who led the camels couldn't understand, so Mona began to translate. After a while, she said, "He rented camels, but I don't recommend riding. It's a bit unsafe, and he will ask you more for money in a while. If you agree, the money will become bright."

Fortunately, the person who rented the camel did not understand Chinese very much. Gao Xu felt Mona's kindness and accepted her suggestions.

Gao Xu first helped her black-girl friend, and then paid the compensation generously and "trustfully" (I don't care about that little money at all). Not only did Mona not be late to put the pigeons, she also put herself in the shoes of protecting the interests of her employer. It seems that some things about humanity are indeed connected.

But the person who rented the camel did not leave and followed. After a while, two more camels came over. Gao Xu was no longer in the mood to experience the ancient concept of eternal life.

At this time, Yang Kui took out three small bottles of things and handed them to the person who led the camel with a smile, and finally ended the entanglement friendly.

Gao Xu smelled the smell and said admiringly: "I didn't expect to give me a small gift. The cooling oil is good and it is really suitable for this hot place."

Yang Kui shook his head and said, "It's not applied that way. Their purpose is like the Indian god-oil."

Gao Xu: "..."

Yang Kui also immediately encountered a cold situation. Mona pretended not to understand, and Gao Xu was not embarrassed to continue the topic.
