Chapter 550: Fusang’s Enlightenment
It was 1 pm on 20 October 2842.
Ling Ping’an was dragging his suitcase with his right hand and his pet with his left hand as he returned home.
When he glanced at the next door, Aunt Cai was nowhere to be seen. The huge breakfast shop had already closed the door early.
Not far away from the intersection, a brand-new advertising screen was playing the recruitment advertis.e.m.e.nt of the w.a.n.g Group.
Loudspeakers were playing Cheng Mingli, the grand scholar of the Gonghe party, over and over again.
“It takes a long time to produce talents…”
“Our country must put education first!”
“Gather all the funds to develop and improve our education industry, including vocational education!”
“Just as Taizu said, the root of all problems is poverty. If we want to solve the problem of poverty, we must rely on education
“Therefore, I have written a book on the current situation and future development of education in our country…”
Ling Ping’an laughed when he heard this.
This was how the Gonghe Party reacted in the face of problems.
They had to think of ways to solve their problems through education.
Historically, the three golden eras of the Federal Empire were the foundation for the great development of education under the Gonghe Party.
Therefore, the party preached education every election.
Education, tax cuts, and construction were the three pillars of the Gonghe Party.
In contrast, the Datong Party preferred welfare, tax increases, and deregulation.
They believed in the conscience and the morals of a scholar-gentleman.
However…
He curled his lips slightly. “Everything is said in a very pleasant manner!”
“It depends on whether it can be implemented!”
The current him had already seen things that were different from ordinary people.
In many things, even if he did not use his brain and did not think outside the box, he could often see through the essence of things.
Therefore, he didn’t believe a single word that was said on the radio.
He had to develop education, cut taxes, and build big houses.
Did the money of the Gonghe Party fall from the Sky?
The central bank had just encountered a huge problem, and now there was another problem here?
Did he really think that the central bank was run by his family?
With the key in his hand, he opened the door and pulled up the shutter.
The familiar home appeared in front of him.
The sofa at the door was spotless, and the floor was clean.
Even the posters on both sides of the wall were still brand new.
At the end of his line of sight, rows of bookshelves were placed side by side.
He smiled and placed his cat on the ground.
Then, he turned around and looked at the gla.s.s door that had been overdue for many years.
He placed his suitcase at the door, walked to the counter, and sat down comfortably.
With his back against the chair, he looked at the computer.
“Finally I am back! “He said, “It’s still more comfortable at home!”
After he picked up the bronze taotie that was placed at the corner of the table, he threw it into the drawer.
Then, he took the remote control and habitually turned on the TV.
The news was being broadcast on the TV.
“The coronation ceremony of the Queen of Ceylon is held today…”
The beautiful aerial view of the Ceylon Kingdom appeared on the television.
“Although India is still in chaos, the stability of Ceylon does not seem to be affected…”
“Representatives of the royal family and amba.s.sadors from all over the world have been invited to attend the coronation ceremony!”
“The special envoy of the Emperor of Great Xia, Zhang Hui, has been ordered to supervise the coronation ceremony…”
“According to tradition, the lucky emperor of Great Xia expressed his blessings to the Queen!”
“The Queen of Ceylon thanked the special envoy and the lucky emperor for their blessings and said that the Kingdom of Ceylon will always remember Great Xia’s kindness. The relationship between Ceylon and Great Xia is forged by blood and fire. Therefore, Ceylon will stand firmly on Great Xia’s side and contribute its strength to the peace and stability of the Indian Ocean!”
As Ling Ping’an looked at the news in a daze, he felt drowsy.
He dozed off and slowly fell asleep.
When he woke up, the sky had already darkened.
The television was still playing the news.
“Entrusted by the Emperor, Crown Princess Rouan will visit new Luo, Fusang, Lan Fang, Siam, Samboja, Ceylon and other traditional friendly neighbors from today onwards!”
He shook his head vigorously.
Then, he turned on the light and looked at the time on his phone.
It was seven o’clock.
He heaved a sigh of relief.
“It looks like I’ll probably be like this during the day in the future!”
Ever since he started to doze off in the capital the day before yesterday, he had been like this.
He was in a daze during the day and was full of energy at night.
As a typical night owl, his daily routine seemed to have started to turn upside down and become chaotic.
What was more interesting was that he could rely on his subjective will to control it.
In other words, as long as he hinted to himself not to fall asleep, he would be able to avoid falling asleep.
However, after he experimented once, he did not hesitate to suppress this matter.
He did not want to cause any more trouble.
After he stood up, he walked out of the door.
The street lamps in the alley were already lit up.
It was just that there weren’t many people.
It was cold and quiet.
Ling Pinga’n stretched lazily and said, “It feels so good to go home!”
These past few days in the capital were really uncomfortable.
He knew too many things, which wasn’t good.
It was better to come back!
He didn’t care about anything and just lay down.
When he turned around, he saw a few shadows carrying something as they walked up the stairs of his house.
He took a closer look, but he didn’t see anything.
What he saw just now seemed to be an illusion.
But he knew that it was real.
His bedroom was about to have another game cabin.
After walking a few rounds on the road outside, Ling Ping’an finally returned home.
He thought for a moment and took out the bag of tea leaves from the drawer.
Then, he made himself a cup of tea.
Gradually, he slowly drank the beverage bthat he hadn’t drunk for a long time.
“The tea at home is still the best!” he said.
Compared to the tea at home, all the drinks in the capital were water.
After drinking a cup of tea, he felt a little interested and started to write on the computer.
He had almost used up all the ma.n.u.scripts.
It was time to work.
No matter what, he still had to earn money!
…
Almost at the moment when Ling Ping’an began to write.
On the other side of the sea, in Fujian City, the capital of the Fusang Kingdom, it was a different scene.
“The Xinluo people were one step ahead…”
“We were too pa.s.sive!” The current Prime Minister of Fusang, Honda Dozhong, looked at the big shots and slowly said, “We can’t do that!”
“If the Xinluo people were faster…”
“Our country will be destroyed!”
Ever since great Xia flourished in the east, Fusang and Xinluo had been on opposing sides.
This did not need anyone to encourage or encourage them.
This was purely the result of geopolitics.
One could tell from looking at the map!
To Fusang, the biggest threat would always be xinluo, which was across the sea from them.
Similarly, it was the same for Xin Luo.
The ordinary Tama Strait was really just a strip of water.
Even thousands of years ago, the ancestors who were on wooden rafts could follow the ocean currents and attack each other.
As for now…
Regardless of whether it was the transcendent being from Xin Luo or Fusang, they could set off from the metropolitan territory in the morning, finish the gra.s.sy valley on the opposite side, and come back for lunch.
This was even under the situation where both sides had already given up on conventional military affairs and only kept the basic security police.
If both sides had missiles and fighter jets.
They would be able to hit each other’s core within ten minutes.
Who could bear this?
In any case, neither Fusang nor Xin Luo could bear it.
Therefore, to the Fusang people, if the Xin Luo people beat them to it, it was akin to their failure.
If they were to go a little higher, it might even lead to the extinction of the country.
Moreover, it was the kind of extinction that did not require military force and would automatically collapse internally.
The people of Fusang would vote with their feet and move to Xinluo.
They would even welcome a king back from Xinluo.
In any case, the so-called eternal family’s nonsense would only fool the farmers who had never studied before.
In this era, who else could they fool?
On the Internet, Fusang’s trolls said, “I don’t like such a Fusang!”
The reason why these guys were still in Fusang was because the East China Sea was too wide and they could not swim across.
However, if the Silla kingdom had the chance to merge with great Xia.
Then, if Fusang’s men could not swim across the East China Sea, could they not swim across the Tama Strait?
Even if he couldn’t swim, he could at least build a leather raft and ride the tide to cross the strait, right?
Therefore, Honda Duozhong’s words immediately aroused a discussion among the Chinese people present.
While everyone was discussing among themselves, the discussion eventually turned into mutual insults.
Vulgar words came out of their mouths at once.
They were almost going to perform all-out martial arts in front of the Prime Minister.
Honda Duozhong were infuriated, so he hurriedly cough edand scolded, “Please respect your prime minister!”
Only then did the Chinese people hurriedly bow their heads and apologize: “We are awfully sorry for what we did just now!”
Honda Duzhong looked at them, but there was nothing he could do.
Although he was a prime minister, he was in fact only a puppet.
He did not have any real power in his hands. He relied on the recognition from Great Xia and the support from the royal family to be a mascot.
However, since ancient times, Fusang had been a pile of loose sand due to geography.
The Ping and Yuan families had long replaced Fusang.
Since modern times, it was even more so after the recovery of spirit aura.
Guan Dong and Guan Xi were supporters of the Datong Party and the Gonghe Party respectively.
As for the Hua people, they were basically the same as their names in the past.
To be more precise, the Hua people (transcendent being) today were actually their names in the past.
Everyone occupied a piece of land.
No one cared about anyone.
The central government was often an organization to mediate conflicts.
This was on the basis of the endors.e.m.e.nt of the Lucky Emperor of the Xia Kingdom.
Otherwise, the so-called prime minister would just be Guan Bai, who had been used by the Tokugawa family to wipe their a.s.ses in the past.
Thus, Honda Duozhong watched as the Chinese surrendered.
Upon relaxing his tone, he said, “Everyone, there’s no need to fight anymore!”
“I won’t hide it from you all…”
“That Xinluo only had a Qing emperor. He was lucky for a moment!”
“It is still unknown whether he will be lucky enough to be favored in the future.”
“The prince in the adopted son of the Li Palace once sent someone back to tell me that I, Fusang, also have a woman who is used by that honorable man. In fact, my relationship with him is not shallow.”
As the Hua people listened, they finally quieted down.
Then, one of them asked, “I don’t know who is so lucky to be favored like this!”
“We must go and pay our respects!”
The others said, “Yes! Yes! We must go and pay our respects!”
Honda Duozhong glanced at these guys and understood what they were thinking.
It was normal for people to cling to their thighs.
Plus, Fusang himself had a huge bomb.
His Highness was worried about something.
Although the feathered fox was in the seal, who knew when it could break it.
Once it broke the seal, it would definitely wake up taige.
Then, it would ma.s.sacre Fusang.
None of the Hua people could escape!
With just a few thoughts, His Highness had killed several Great Yin Yang Masters.
If he really woke up…
It would cause Mount Fuji to erupt or Fusang to sink.
Over the years, Fusang had been constantly experiencing earthquakes. It was also because His Highness was stirring up Fusang’s ley lines.
And once he woke up, the civilians might still be able to run.
The Hua people would not be able to escape.
They would be eaten by him.
This was also why Fusang’s Hua people were more united than Xinluo’s two cla.s.ses.
If they were not united, everyone would die.
They could only cling to each other and struggle for their lives.
In short, compared to Xinluo…
Fusang lived on a large nuclear bomb.
If they were not careful, they would all ascend to heaven.
They could not escape even if they wanted to.
Because they were all locked on!
Their ancestors were stained with the blood of the Toyotomi family!
“You guys!” Honda Duozhong shook his head and said, “Don’t even think about disturbing that Lord’s life!”
“She is carrying the fate of all of us!”
“If it’s because of you guys that she disturbed that Lord’s life, what would be the consequences…”
“Even if you cut open his stomach, you wouldn’t be able to escape the blame!”
The Hua people listened and looked at each other.
They looked at Dozhong Honda and asked, “Then, Lord Prime Minister…”
“You summoned us this time…”
“What do you want?”
Honda Duozhong looked at these people and said, “I summoned all of you this time because I received the imperial decree from his Imperial Highness the Prince of Ligong’s adopted son!”
Everyone immediately prostrated themselves.
“His Highness said that although we have a lord who is close to that young master…”
“However, this doesn’t mean that we can sit and wait…”
“We must think of a way to save ourselves and show our worth!”
“His Imperial Highness the adopted son of Ligong has been active in the imperial capital recently…”
“Through the exchanges and activities between His Highness and the eldest princess of Great Xia…”
“As well as probing and consulting the various forces of Great Xia…”
“From the looks of it…”
“His Highness the Prince believes that great Xia is currently lacking an important helper!”
“And His Highness hopes that we will bravely take on the role of this helper!”
When the Chinese heard this, they all raised their heads.
The federal empire of Xia was naturally not as harmless as the common people thought. It was a country that prioritized etiquette, loyalty, filial piety, and righteousness.
This was very normal: Even adults were like this, let alone a big country?
However, the Xia people were just like their emperor, very arrogant.
They would usually not directly reveal their intentions.
Instead, they would use various methods to hint to the other parties to act according to their intentions.
If they did well, they would be greatly rewarded!
Just like the agricultural export subsidies and industrial import preferential treatment of Fusang.
They were not obtained through normal diplomatic efforts.
The Fusang people had paid a b.l.o.o.d.y price for this!
During the southern Zhou liberation war, Fusang sent out 200 thousand volunteers.
They had even formed four groups of Fusang volunteers to partic.i.p.ate in the battle.
In fact, tens of thousands of Fusang people were buried in the southern Zhou, including more than a thousand Chinese!
After the war, they were rewarded according to their merits, which was why Fusang had the Green Mountains, green waters, and generous treatment today.
Usually, these things would never be mentioned.
But the Chinese knew very well.
Hence, one of them asked, “What kind of helper?”
Honda Duozhong replied, “A helper who beats people up!”
He took a deep breath. “Times have changed!”
“As the nightmare slowly surfaces… the international order of the past will face a drastic change!”
“And the challenges facing w.a.n.g Shi will also increase!”
“On the great Xia side, the resistance to war or intervention is very great!”
“Moreover, what kind of army is w.a.n.g Shi?”
“A benevolent and righteous army, a Moral Army!”
“Besides, there are so many things that the imperial army cannot do!”
The Hua people nodded one after another. They knew this very well.
Back in the southern Zhou battlefield, the imperial army of Great Xia was famous for being polite and courteous. They gave preferential treatment to prisoners of war. The people of land of Qin and land of Qin were known for their chivalry in the east.
However, war was always cruel, and someone had to do despicable things.
At that time, the people of Fusang had not thought it through. They wanted to be polite and show off Fusang’s vigor.
Who knew that the people of Xinluo were like wolves and tigers, fighting with their lives to do dirty work and dirty things.
As a result, when the people of land of Qin saw the troops in Xinluo’s clothes, their legs would tremble.
Hence, after the war, Xinluo was one of the few countries that accepted the transfer of industries from Great Xia.
Currently, Xinluo’s electronics and semiconductor industries were built on the transfer of industries from Great Xia.
Hence, Xinluo’s population could reach over 100 million.
On the other hand, Fusang could only feed 80 million people.
This was the difference.
More importantly, Xinluo’s two cla.s.ses could move to the metropolitan territory and use the household register of Great Xia as their apartments.
The Chinese in Fusang were rarely allowed to do so.
They did not forget the past and did not forget the future.
The moment Honda Duozhong opened his mouth, the Chinese started to breathe heavily.
“What do you mean?” They asked anxiously, “Will great Xia allow us to build an army?”
“OK!” Duozhong Honda nodded, “If we want to rule the chaotic world, we can not rely solely on morality and righteousness!”
“We still have to rely on violence!”
“But the imperial army is still the Imperial Army!”
“So, we have to bravely shoulder the responsibility!”
“I won’t hide it from everyone…”
“We have received news from Ceylon… The Queen of Ceylon has ordered her cabinet to start expanding the Army from this year!”
“We have also discussed with great Xia about bringing in 300 advanced fighter jets and training 3,000 transcendent being!”
“We only need to wait for the agreement to be announced!”
“We need to hurry up!”
“Otherwise… when the other countries react, they will all come to s.n.a.t.c.h it!”
Ceylon had always been Great Xia’s opponent!
Although the people of Ceylon were miserable every day, they were not doing badly.
A mere island country was above India.
They would send out air forces to behead some of the Indian forces.
After the crisis in Ceylon, they had carried out hundreds of beheadings and surgical strikes.
In the past 10 years, along with the rise of the commander-in-chief,.
The people of Ceylon stopped fighting and started to be quiet.
However, the older people remembered that 20 to 30 years ago, the Air Force of Ceylon was known as the honey badger of the Indian Ocean.
They would attack whoever they caught.
Now, when the situation was really uneasy, Great Xia had finally let go of the shackles of Ceylon.
It seemed like very soon, Ceylon’s air raid would resound across India., during which Great Xia’s general would “coincidentally” visit Ceylon.
