"The Fusang beef is really tender!" After happily finishing a big bowl of Fusang beef ramen, Ling Ping'an burped, "With this Fusang beef, I have no objections to the Fusang Kingdom joining the Federation!"
At this moment, the phone in his pocket vibrated.
Ling Ping'an picked it up and opened it.
It was an official message from the federal government: Dear federal citizen, hello, Young Master Ling Ping'an. Today, your account has been transferred: 10,425 yuan. The detailed bill was as follows: Federal A-class Meritorious Minister Children Allowance: 7,000 yuan; Federal University Student Entrepreneurship Allowance: 3,000 yuan; Federal A-class Meritorious Minister Unmarried Children Allowance: 425 yuan...
Looking at the message, Ling Ping'an was silent for a long time before he finally sighed, "So, today is already the day of the national treasury subsidy..."
"Time flies. In the blink of an eye, it's the 10th!"
The 10th of each month was the day of subsidies and tax refunds for the federal central government.
This day was a day of revelry/sorrow for all the federal citizens.
A person like Ling Ping'an could happily receive a sum of money that didn't cost him anything.
However, those high-income rich people and businessmen had to face the notice of paying taxes to the federal central government.
After a while, a yellow text message appeared on Ling Ping'an's phone screen.
In the Federation, this was the special font for the royal family's text messages.
However, Ling Ping'an didn't even look at it and directly turned off his phone.
That was because he could guess with his butt that this was definitely a text message from the 'Federal Committee for the Children of Meritorious Contributors', which was under the royal family, urging him to get married.
He couldn't read this kind of text message anymore.
Because if he read it, Ling Ping'an felt that he might not be able to resist the temptation and really embark on the path of blind dates and marriage.
However, just because he didn't read it didn't mean that he could avoid the urge to get married.
"Face the wind!" His phone rang at the right time.
Ling Ping'an sighed and helplessly picked up his phone to look at the battery.
As expected, it was 404100, the special phone number of the 'Federal Committee for the Children of Meritorious Contributors', which was under the royal family of the Federal Empire.
But he had to pick it up.
If he didn't pick it up, there would probably be a royal commissioner coming to drink tea with him in the afternoon.
Helplessly, he could only pick up the phone.
"Hello! I'm Ling Ping'an... "
"Hello!" A gentle and beautiful female voice came from the other end of the phone, "Young Master Ling Ping'an, I'm Qin Keqing..."
"Oh... hello..." Ling Ping'an replied politely, but he didn't believe it at all.
The Federal Meritorious Children's Settlement Committee under the Federal Royal Family was indeed an organization directly led by the Empire's Emperor's sister, Her Highness Princess Rouan.
However, the problem was that the Great Elder Princess was very busy every day, and it was said that she had three thousand masked men.
How could they send their private secretary to call a little guy like him?
He was just the personal secretary of the personal secretary of the personal secretary of the personal secretary of the personal secretary of the Great Elder Princess.
"It's like this …" The female voice on the phone asked gently, "I found out that you're already 24 years old this year … Is that right?"
"Hmm..." Ling Ping'an frowned, as if something bad had happened.
"You're the only one among the empire's A-class meritorious orphans who've reached the age of twenty-four but haven't reported your relationship yet …" The gentle and beautiful female voice asked with slight suspicion, "Young Master Ling … Do you have any health problems?"
"No!" Ling Ping'an immediately denied it.
"Hmm …" The other party hummed softly. "I've also checked your last and this year's physical examination reports. Everything is very healthy …"
"Young master …" She asked, "Why don't you fall in love?"
"Is it because you haven't met your ideal partner?"
"I found out that in the past three years, the governor of Guangnan has sent you seven invitations to the Federation's Children of Meritorious Officials Blind Date, but you didn't go to the blind date even once …"
Ling Ping'an could only smile awkwardly when he heard this.
Blind date?
If he had that time, wouldn't it be better to play a few games at home or write a few chapters of novels?
"Is it because you're worried about the cost of marriage and childbearing?" The gentle and beautiful female voice guided him patiently. "Young Master Ling, you don't have to worry about this!"
"In fact, according to the federal central government's bill and the imperial royal family's special policy, as long as you start dating, falling in love, and even getting married and having children, your subsidies and subsidies will continue to increase!"
"Here, I can guarantee you that the federal central government and the imperial royal family will never let the descendants of meritorious officials be unable to fall in love, get married, and even more so, they will not let the descendants of meritorious officials be unable to afford to go to school!"
"Do you need me to introduce the central government's bill for the children of A-class meritorious officials and the relevant policies of the imperial family?"
Ling Ping'an quickly shook his head. "No need, thank you!"
Ever since he turned 18 years old and reached the federal legal age for marriage.
Ling Ping'an's phone and mailbox would regularly receive all kinds of text messages and emails from the federal central government, the imperial family, the governor's district, and Jiangcheng City.
They were all about the federal bill and the imperial family's policies.
At first, Ling Ping'an read them with great interest. But when he realized that those bills and policies, every one of them wrote: Fall in love, get married, have children, and give you as many subsidies as you want.
Then, he never read them again.
In case he couldn't stand the temptation and stepped into the trap of love.
Falling in love …
How could it be better than playing games?
How could it be better than writing?
There was a long silence on the phone.
After a long time, the gentle and beautiful female voice came again. "Young Master Ling … you'll make things very difficult for us if you act like this …"
"In the entire federation, you're the only one who has reached the age of 24, but you haven't even been in a relationship once …"
"I'm really afraid that you won't get married even when you're 30 years old …"
"If that's the case, I'm afraid that even His Majesty the Emperor will have to ask about your marriage …"
"You can't not help me …"
"Even if it's a pretense … Go on a date once?"
Ling Ping'an was silent.
He might have a lot of bad habits.
But there was one thing that was very real.
That was that he rarely lied. Even if it was a white lie, he would avoid it as much as possible.
Moreover, lying to the royal family meant that he had to bear legal responsibility!
When the other party heard Ling Ping'an's silence, she also became silent. After a while, she seemed to be angry and barely suppressed her emotions. She said with some disappointment, "Thank you for answering the phone. I wish you a happy life …"
Beep beep beep …
Listening to the busy tone on the phone, Ling Ping'an put down the phone and sighed.
"Is it against the law to be a single dog?" He asked softly and then answered himself, "It's not against the law!"
However, he quickly put this matter aside.
Because it was time for the game.
Picking up his phone, he charged into the canyon.
… …
Thousands of miles away, north of the Guangnan governor's district, downstream of the Yangtze River.
The majestic imperial capital stood on the bank of the Yangtze River.
In a building near the river, a young woman in a court dress put down the phone angrily.
"What kind of person is this!" She said with slight anger, "If it weren't for the fact that you're a descendant of a Class A meritorious service, I would really want to call the Ministry of Finance and ask them to stop your allowance and subsidy!"
Ring ring ring.
At this moment, a red phone on her desk rang.
She quickly picked up the phone.
"Your Highness..." She bowed.
"Yes..."
"This subject is Qin Keqing..."
"Yes..."
"This subject will get things done as soon as possible. Please rest assured, Your Highness!"
"Yes..."
After putting down the phone, she slumped into the chair. Her fierce aura could not help but rise and fall violently.
She reached out to pick up a file on the desk and opened it. Looking at the smiling young student wearing a scholar's uniform and the traditional sage crown of the empire, she couldn't help but gnash her teeth.
"Is it that difficult for you to fall in love?" She asked hatefully.
If it was possible, she wished she could personally fly to Jiangcheng City, capture this damn otaku, and throw him into the dating show of Jianye Satellite TV. She wanted the 24 female guests to tear this guy into pieces. After an A-class meritorious service, it was enough to make those gold diggers go crazy.
Unfortunately, she couldn't.
The children of A-class meritorious service were not only protected by the federal law.
They were also given preferential treatment by the royal family's policy.
Their files and existence were state secrets.
Unless they revealed it themselves, it was impossible for outsiders to know. Those who knew wouldn't dare to spread it.
Now, the federal royal family ruled from above.
Most of the royal family's energy was focused on being a matchmaker and matchmaker.
Her Highness, the Great Elder Princess Rouan, was the direct leader of the implementation of this policy.
To a certain extent, giving preferential treatment to the descendants of meritorious service and serving their lives and families well was the current basic policy of the royal family. It was also one of the functions of the federal central government.
And a twenty-four-year-old holdout who had never been in a relationship and didn't even have a record of dating.
He was a thorn in everyone's side!
There was no other way. She could only do one thing — pass the pressure down.
