802 Country Title Meeting (1/2)

Chapter 802 – Country Title Meeting

After dealing with the matters regarding Shu Mountain Steel Corporation, Ouyang Shuo officially started to rest.

A year had passed, and the various parts of the territory system were improved, and the leave system was one of them. Ouyang Shuo could not demand people to work 365 days a year as that was truly inhumane.

The territory followed the Tang Dynasty system and created specific holidays.

Chinese New Year and the winter solstice each had seven days of holiday. Apart from that, the Mid-Autumn Festival, Xiazhi, Laba Festival, Dragon Boat Festival, and other traditional festivals were given three days holiday.

The holidays for Chinese New Year and Winter Solstice were given three days before and three days after.

Tomorrow would be the 27th, so it would be the first day of the Chinese New Year holiday.

During the holiday period, the government organizations would be sealed and work would stop, allowing the officials to return home to see their relatives. Only until the 5th day of the Chinese New Year would they return to start working again.

Hence, even the planned leadership meeting was pushed back by Ouyang Shuo till after the holidays.

...…

In the next few days, Ouyang Shuo would get a few hard to come by days of rest.

During these few days, he either dressed casually, accompanied Bing'er to play in the various parts of the city, toured the prosperous city and looked at the lives of the people, or had heart to heart talks with Song Jia under the moon.

He also visited the Xinan University to drink and play chess with Taigong, or visited the Confucius and listened to the Saint speak. Sometimes, he would go to the tea house to listen to songs and watch dances, spending two to three hours at a time.

During his free time, he also went to the back gardens to stroll and play with the territory prosperity beast Qiyi, who had made this place his home. Sometimes, he decided to stay alone in the pavilion, not thinking or doing anything.

He did not accept any invitations or visits from anyone.

During this time, Ouyang Shuo followed the tradition to hold a huge feast in the main hall. As for the event held by Gaia, Ouyang Shuo was not interested anymore.

On the contrary, Bing'er had once again obtained a large gift from Gaia and she was elated.

The first day of the Chinese New Year was still the worship ceremony, and it proceeded strongly and vigorously. The only change was that Song Jia, as the lady of the Nanjiang Governor-General, walked side by side with Ouyang Shuo.

There was also something else that happened.

During the worship of the Yellow Emperor, a System Notification sounded out by Ouyang Shuo's ear.

”System Notification: Congratulations player Qiyue Wuyi, territory prosperity beast was affected by the worship ceremony and triggered prosperity - Golden dragon soars across the sky. Congratulations player!”

The moment the words sounded, a loud dragon roar broke out from the clouds. Looking up, a golden dragon had appeared, and it flew around the sky. Its dragon scales were really eye-catching.

That instantly stunned everyone.

Everyone who joined in the ceremony were top officials and generals in the territory. Seeing this phenomenon, all of them were delighted. Xiao He even said, ”Monarch, the golden dragon appears, it's the sign of the emperor, it's the best time to establish the country.”

Ouyang Shuo nodded and did not directly reply. It was not good to praise himself at such a moment, right?

Without a doubt, such a sign of prosperity had provided some proof to the people for his establishment of the country. It united their thoughts and raised their loyalty and their sentiments.

Since there was such a prosperous sign, all the people were obviously delighted.

On the 2nd day of the Chinese New Year, Shanhai City held many lantern festivals and temple fairs.

The prosperity sign was already written by people and made into shows by various people, saying that their Monarch had the aura of an emperor, further clearing the obstacle to establishing the country.

Even the various media outlets started to give detailed reports.

When Di Chen and the others saw that, they were stunned. They realized that Ouyang Shuo was showing his power to form an unstoppable stance when establishing his country.

Even so, they felt really bitter as they had no ability to stop him.

Being influenced by that, more and more talents and scholars were willing to move over to Shanhai City.

No one had the power to stop that.

From the second day onward, Ouyang Shuo brought Bing'er and Song Jia to the various temple fairs. Each time he appeared, the Divine Martial Guards would help open the way. The whole journey was really secure and serious, giving off a powerful aura.

Lin Jing also brought Xie Siyun over, and they had a reunion dinner together.

Amongst all the clamor, the Gaia 4th year Chinese New Year had come to an end. Now, they welcomed a brand New Year.

Gaia 4th year, 2nd month, 3rd day, the 5th day of the Chinese New Year.

The 1st day after the holidays ended, Ouyang Shuo held the first court assembly of the year.
