Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Returning to Chen Village
On October 1st, 2029, Chen Weizheng gave up his position as the King of Xin Xia to Zhang Zhengping. From then on, he became an ordinary person without any official position. Chen Weizheng, who had become an ordinary person, realized that he did not have any other valid documents other than his China citizen ID card. He did not have any in Xin Xia or Shin Myung Province. Everyone was laughing at him, saying that he had actually been the King of Shin Myung Province for ten years and the King of Xin Xia for one year as a migrant worker. This was what a real working emperor should be like. Chen Weizheng said self-deprecatingly that this meant that he had foresight and foresight. If Zheng Jian 'er could return to Xiuming Village to farm, he could also return to Longshan Chen Village to farm.
Zhao Keyuan, the secretary of the county committee of Qingshan Town, said that as long as Chen Weizheng was willing to return, the few acres of land in Longshan Chen Village would always be his.
For this reason, Hua Zheng had a suggestion. Apart from China, the other nine countries would implement a universal citizen ID card system. As long as one had a citizen ID card from one of the nine countries, they would be able to travel freely within the nine countries without a visa. This suggestion was unanimously approved by the nine countries, but it was sternly opposed by Ye Fengchun. Ye Fengchun felt that this was unfair to China. If this was to be done, it had to be done by the ten countries. They could not leave China aside. Due to Ye Fengchun's opposition, this suggestion was not implemented immediately. However, everyone in China knew that they had already become the last of the ten countries and a burden to the other nine countries. They had to catch up. Time waited for no one.
At this moment, Ou Jie played a little trick. Since the nine countries had such a requirement, Chen Weizheng, as a citizen of China, could not enter or leave China without approval. He could only stay in Chen Village.
It was not impossible to go back to Chen Village. There was a place in Chen Village that Chen Weizheng had always wanted to visit. It was in the depths of Dragon Pines on the top of Longshan. He had always had a premonition that this place should be the place where an ancient almighty ascended.
After returning to Chen Village, Chen Weizheng found out that Chen Baoliang had already retired. The current village director of Chen Village was Chen Weiqi's younger brother, Chen Weihou. Three years ago, the Fifth Lord had already passed away. Hua Chao's father, Chen Weixiao, the eldest of the Wei generation, had become a member of the Standing Committee of Chen Village. This old man had already become a story in Qingshan Town. He would never go to Minchuan City even if he was beaten to death. When asked why, he said that as a member of the Communist Party of China, he would never go to the territory of the Nationalist Party unless Taiwan was liberated.
On the day that he and Liu Yi returned to Chen Village, Chen Weizheng did not tell anyone. The two of them went to visit the graves of their father and grandparents. The one who accompanied them was the god of earth, Chen Zhengquan, of Chen Village. On the way, Chen Zhengquan said that ancestral graves should be abolished, especially the ancestral graves in Chen Village. They had been completely reduced to superfluous land because there was not a single soul in this place. All of them had gone to the Other World. Only those who could not go to the Other World needed ancestral graves because those souls needed a place to stay.
Chen Weizheng said with a smile that this was completely a requirement of the customs and the cohesion of a tribe. Many places were not like Chen Village, where there were fully equipped ancestral shrines. Every year, the highlight of the ancestral ceremonies was in the ancestral shrines.
Chen Zhengquan was right. He told Chen Weizheng that there was a talisman in the ancestral shrines made by Wen Jie. Some of the Fifth Lord's will was sealed in it. It could only be given to Chen Weizheng and asked Chen Weizheng to go to the ancestral shrines after returning to the village.
The graves of his father, Chen Baoguo, and his grandparents were very clean. It seemed that the village was well taken care of every year. A big monument was erected in his father's grave. His grandfather's grave was also well repaired. Chen Weizheng remembered that this should be done by the villagers when Hua Zheng came back. Only a grandson could erect a monument. It was the custom of Chen Village whether it was a grandson or a granddaughter. Therefore, erecting a monument for his grandfather could only be done by Hua Zheng, the eldest grandson. Before Hua Zheng became the king of the New Qin Kingdom, he sometimes came back once or twice a year. Every time he came back, he would sort out all the messy work. He remembered some of it himself and finished some of it under Liu Furong's reminder. People in the village all said that this adopted son was more responsible than his own son. He did everything bit by bit. Until Hua Zheng became the king of the New Qin Kingdom, the village still used this example to educate the next generation: filial piety was the most productive force. Only those with filial piety would have a bright future.
Last year, before the establishment of Xinhe State, Aiko brought Hua Rong back with Chen Liping to worship. Only then did the villagers know that Chen Weizheng had two wives, one more beautiful than the other. When Hua Rong became the king of a state again at the age of two, the villagers fully realized that there were many kings in Chen Weizheng's family.
Chen Weizheng made some wine. Liu Yi took out three animals from the basket, lit incense and candles, and burned paper money. Chen Weizheng made some prayers, nothing more than telling his ancestors about his situation, the situation of his family, his children, his relatives, and everything around him. Although he knew that his ancestors had gone to a different world, his piety still made everyone think that this was the true filial piety.
Brother Weixiao made a few tables of delicious dishes to welcome Chen Weizheng. Liu Dehou, Chen Xiaomei, and Zhao Changfu had also returned from Xiling Village. The four of them lived in Zhao Changfu's hometown in Xiling Village in the summer. It was a mountainous area, and the weather was cool. This year's winter came late, so they didn't move. When the weather was really cold, the four migratory old men would fly to Longguang City or Beima Province in Shin Myung Province to spend the winter. Last year, the group of old men actually chose Yi 'an Province in the Republic of China. Together with Fang Rujin and his wife and Zhang Zhiquan and his wife, they lived a good life there. They lured Xiao Guangyuan and Liu Jingyuan away from their island and traveled around the world together.
The people from Chen Village who worked in Gu Yi City had all returned. There was one other person who was not from Chen Village. He was Zhao Keyuan, Zhao Changfu's son. He was a member of the Standing Committee of the Gu Yi City Municipal Party Committee, the Secretary of the Qingshan Town Committee, and the County Magistrate. Chen Zhiwei was the full-time Deputy Secretary of Gu Yi City. He was followed by a group of nephews. Chen Weiwei was Ma Yaohui's brother-in-law and the Deputy Mayor of Gu Yi City. Chen Huashou was the Secretary of the Longshan Town Committee. Chen Hualin was the Deputy Mayor of Longjiang District. Chen Huatai was the Director of the Agricultural Bureau of Gu Yi City. Chen Xiaohua was the Deputy Secretary of the Communist Youth League Committee of Gu Yi City. Behind them were a few people who had just graduated from university. They were new national cadres who had entered the civil service this time. Chen Weishi's youngest son and Chen Huanan's younger brother, Chen Huamiao, Chen Weicheng's son, Chen Huaxian, Chen Weisong's son, Chen Huahan, and Chen Weiyue's son, Chen Huaquan. These people were currently following Zhao Keyuan. According to Chen Weikai's plan, after the New Year, Chen Huatai would be transferred to take over Zhao Keyuan. Zhao Keyuan would be the Mayor of Tangcheng City.
There were also three guests who had come from afar. One was the Governor of Jiangbei Province, Huang Chenglong, the Governor of Jiangnan Province, Long Zhengpeng, and the Minister of the Central Organization Department, Pan Changcheng. They were accompanied by the Governor of the Red River Province, Chen Weikai, and the Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, Lan Qixiang. This was the last time Lan Qixiang attended a social event as the Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee of the Red River Province. He was about to be transferred to Nanyue Province as the Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee and the Governor. This was Ye Fengchun's request. In the future, each province would only have one person in charge. There would not be any Secretary or Governor.
Lan Qixiang used to be Zhao Changfu's secretary. He was also Lan Shigao's nephew. He could be considered as Ruan Lei's cousin. He had always had a good relationship with Ou Jie. It was not surprising that he was appointed as the Governor of Nanyue Province. Nanyue Province was an important province. Although it was not as prosperous as the Southwest Region in the past two years, its economy was much better than the provinces in the north. After Zhao Hengguang became the Director of the South Central Region, he was strict with the reorganization of the South Central Region. He was almost as strict as Di Renjie in the past. There were no good people in Hongtong County. All the officials were basically cleaned up by him.
The reason why Huang Chenglong and Long Zhengpeng came to look for Chen Weizheng was simple. It was clear that they could no longer send people into New Xia Country. However, the large amount of unused land made people jealous. Huang Chenglong and Long Zhengpeng wanted to let a large number of surplus people from their own provinces go to New Xia Country to contract land for agricultural farming. They would not move their household registration and would only go over to work. Chen Weizheng thought that this was a win-win situation. He agreed to talk to Zhang Zhengping. He estimated that it would not be possible to send too many people, but 30 to 20 million shouldn't be a problem.
Huang Chenglong and Long Zhengpeng said that if each province could send 500 households to 15 million people, the land here would be subcontracted through land circulation. This would reduce the population pressure, which would be beneficial for development. Chen Weizheng agreed with their opinion. He felt that there were too many people in Jiangbei and Jiangnan Province. If they could not find a way out, it would not be surplus, but excess.
Having achieved their goal, Huang Chenglong and Long Zhengpeng breathed a sigh of relief. These two provinces were both populous and agricultural provinces. Jiangnan Province had a population of 70 million people, and Jiangbei Province had a population of 60 million people. Most of them were agricultural people. Huang Chenglong and Long Zhengpeng, two people, discussed and agreed that the labor renters would not charge labor rental fees. The travel expenses would be paid by the government. However, the land under the labor renters' name would be handed over to the government to manage. The benefits generated from the land circulation would be used as the travel expenses. However, these labor renters, in order to guarantee their China household registration, must pay a poll tax to the local tax authorities. Non-agricultural people who did not have land under their name could also participate in this labor rental, but the travel expenses would be borne by themselves.
Knowing the two people's wishful thinking, Chen Weizheng laughed and said, "You guys can be considered to have enough understanding of the Chinese's homeland complex. Labor rental is a good idea. When you stop doing it, you can return it. But first things first, Xin Xia country is not full of gold waiting for you to pick it up. You still have to work diligently and honestly. Otherwise, it will be even more difficult to make a living over there."
Liu Dehou asked Chen Weizheng why he did not want to be the King again. Chen Weizheng said that after more than ten years, he was tired of it, so he stopped. Pan Changcheng asked if he was worried that with the current speed of eight new countries in ten years, in another ten years, half of the earth would be his.
Everyone laughed. Chen Weizheng also scratched his head and said, "I really did not think about this matter. Now, even if I am not the King, the momentum of expansion will not decrease because of this. It is said that Hua Chao looked at the map of Southeast Asia every day and could not sleep. Even in his dreams, he wanted to take Malaysia and Indonesia as one country. It's just that he could not find an excuse. Xiao Song told him to provoke the overseas Chinese to go against the government, and then he could enter openly. "
Chen Huanan's younger brother, Chen Huamiao, asked very naively, "Uncle Zheng, I heard that Singapore wants to change its name to Xin Chu, and Jin San Pang wants to change Korea to Silla, and then join the ranks of Eight New Second Middle School. Is it true?"
Chen Weizheng laughed and said, "Jin San Pang should tell the Americans this idea and let them change their name to New America. Then everything will be okay." Is it possible?
