" Liu Xie graduated from the Jiangnan Academy in the 24th year of the Jin Dynasty's reign and voluntarily participated in the administrative work of Luming County, which was affiliated with Liuzhou."
"During my tenure, I worked diligently and tirelessly to revitalize resources for Luming County, which had fallen behind. Not only did I handle political affairs efficiently, but I also explored new avenues, leveraging Luming County's abundance of wild Spirit Deer. I brought in senior students from the college who were skilled in species research to conduct studies, ultimately finding a new direction for Luming County."
" The Spirit Deer that are abundant in Luming County today are large and agile, skilled in mountain warfare, and have been designated as military mounts. This project has created a new profession for deer farmers in Luming County, greatly enhancing the livelihoods of the people in the county. The industries supporting deer farming, such as high-quality dry food, honey, and various fodder, stimulate the commercial circulation in Luming County. Moreover, the antlers produced by the Spirit Deer are excellent ingredients for making medicinal wine. The most important antler raw material for the currently popular Spirit Deer Wine comes from Luming County. In less than half a year, the wealth of the people in Luming County has more than tripled!"
On the newly erected platform, Wei Gongcheng, wearing a mask, stood high on the platform and recounted Liu Xie's experiences during his political career.
Everyone nodded in agreement, while Liu Xie's eyes reddened as he listened.
It turns out that everyone who worked so hard to achieve all of this was seen by others.
It turns out it wasn't all for nothing!
On the other side, the people listening in suddenly realized that although the people of Jiangnan were now more intelligent than most, they were still not at the level of modern people. They had no concept of the achievements and evaluations of officials. They only knew that many things came from the academy, and it was the novel things from the academy that made the people of Jiangnan rich. Therefore, everyone admired the sorcerers of the academy.
As everyone knows, Jiangnan is so safe because of the Fighter Army who fought and bled on the front lines. Because everyone was once saved by the Fighter Army, everyone has great respect for the Fighter Army.
The only thing that the people have always held in a respectful but distant attitude toward government officials is that most officials like to exploit people and have never truly stood with the people, at least in the Jiangnan commercialism was once very strong.
Few people pay attention to what those administrative officials do, and even if a few do speak out, few believe them.
At this moment, it was the highly respected Liuzhou City who expounded on the merits of a certain administrative official, which not only convinced everyone but also made them suddenly realize the truth.
So this newly appointed young official in Luming County has done so much?
So the Spirit Deer that are now abundant in Luming County were won over by him? Everyone originally thought it was the sorcerer's doing, but who knew this minor county official also played a part?
So, is it because of him that Luming County has become so much better?
Many people from Luming County stared blankly at the young teacher on the stage, their hearts filled with anticipation.
The people of Liuzhou applauded enthusiastically. The visible improvement in Luming County over the past year was all thanks to this minor county official, which certainly deserved applause.
Liu Xie stared blankly at the crowd, listening to the enthusiastic applause. He could no longer hold back his emotions, and tightly covered his eyes with his long sleeves to hide the shameful sight of a man shedding tears.
Chen Qing looked on without saying a word, and neither did Chen Ying. This little guy was quite composed, but after all, he was just a teenager not yet twenty.
Seeing this, everyone applauded even more enthusiastically, especially the people from Luming County, who clapped their hands vigorously, clearly very excited. Emotions are contagious. The boy didn't say anything, but this scene of being moved to tears spoke louder than any words.
Wei Gongzhan observed this, a smile flashing in his eyes. Jiangnan was getting better and better, with enough platforms for talented people to showcase their abilities and receive the recognition they deserved. What could be better than that?
" Liu Xie, the magistrate of Luming County, your performance has been comprehensively evaluated and ranked fourth, which is extremely outstanding. On behalf of the Liuzhou Underworld, I endorse you, as do Lord Chen Qing and the Jiangnan Academy. Now, you need to say a few words for yourself. If you want to become the Underworld of a county, you need to obtain enough votes, and those votes come from the people of Liuzhou!"
These words excited the people of Liuzhou. At that moment, everyone inexplicably straightened their backs. Even though they already knew the rules, they were still incredibly excited when it came to exercising their power.
A county magistrate, having achieved numerous political accomplishments, still needs their approval?
Their will can determine an official's promotion, especially since the position of Underworld is so important!
In an instant, the faces of the people holding the papers turned red. This sense of participation in the world made them realize the importance of the people of Liuzhou.
"Me, me."
Standing on the stage, Liu Xie was so overwhelmed with emotion that he completely forgot the speech he had prepared beforehand. He had never experienced such a situation before, and he was completely unable to react on the spot.
In the end, he could only stammer with his eyes closed, "I will try my best, even harder than before. If I can become the City God, I will do everything in my power to fulfill that duty!"
Extremely bad speech
The group of Westerners below immediately scoffed and shook their heads. "Stupid yellow-skinned monkeys, even their basic speech is so stupid."
If I became the City God, would I do my utmost to fulfill my duties?
Does this mean that when he was a regent, he didn't give it his all?
Does that mean they'll only go to great lengths to do things if they're given the title of City God?
What a foolish speech! If this had been delivered on a debate stage in the West, any politician could have refuted him mercilessly. Even a novice politician wouldn't have uttered such stupid words.
But strangely, the people below applauded excitedly again, with cheers of "Well done!" and "Good job!" rising and falling in waves!
This made the Westerners even more contemptuous. They thought that they could get away with such low-level emotions, and that they were indeed a bunch of fools.
However, this is also a good thing. If this is the level of politics here, it will be very beneficial for them in the future.
Amidst thunderous applause, Liu Xie wept with joy. Chen Qing sat on the high platform, taking in everything below, including the arrogant and disdainful expressions of the Westerners.
But he just watched coldly, without making any other move. He would even keep his promise to let these Westerners Samsara in the human world, retain as many memories as possible, and let them participate in the competition fairly, because this was a condition he himself had agreed to!
In fact, the conditions offered by the Federation were not excessive; they only wanted the ruler of the Earth Yin in one state. Since they already occupied the nine southeastern states and had ample territory to distribute, exchanging the management rights of the Underworld in one state for the Federation's full support was a very worthwhile deal.
But he did not agree; instead, he proposed a condition that seemed to be very disadvantageous to him.
Free competition!
The power of the Divine Path path is the foundation of Divine Path person's strength. The most taboo thing within a power is someone with disloyal intentions. People from the Federation come from different powers, so of course some of them have disloyal intentions, and they are also very capable.
Ancient people would find it difficult to compete with modern people, both in terms of ideas and talents.
But Chen Qing still made that choice.
The Federation government's involvement is unstoppable, so why not just let it happen right under our noses?
The King of Qin said, "Humans and demons cannot coexist!"
When your identity is exposed, all the prestige you've accumulated will vanish like a dream. No one will be grateful for the help of an outsider, no matter how great their contribution!
Is that really the case?
Chen Qing didn't know, but perhaps the King of Qin was right. After all, he had done so much, yet he was still betrayed.
But he still wanted to give it a try!
Federation invasion is inevitable. His former compatriots will flood in and become part of this place. He cannot treat his former compatriots as enemies, nor can he abandon the people here to feed the newcomers!
He wanted to give it a try, starting with these tourists who harbored ulterior motives and had various government objectives.
"Has everyone seen it clearly?"
Inside the Federation Parliament hall, on the virtual screen, a fourth regent has been recognized and become the ruler of the Underworld in a certain county.
The people present were all top-notch politicians, and witnessing this excellent election, their eyes shone with excitement.
"I want to confirm again." Wells took a deep breath and asked, "This man Chen Qing, does he mean that our people can be born normally within his sphere of influence, grow up safely, learn safely, and participate in all of this fairly?"
Wu Xiaoli looked at the other person and said with certainty, "That's how it is according to the agreed terms!"
Wow!
The entire council immediately became lively, with councilors from different districts discussing among themselves, creating a bustling atmosphere like a marketplace.
The Central China Region was also bustling, but the leading elders were all squinting, as if they were asleep, including Zhang Zhengyuan, who had personally negotiated with Chen Qing.
Upon seeing the result, a slight smile appeared on his lips.
The conditions the little guy finally proposed surprised him quite a bit. He originally thought that the other party would be more willing to accept his proposal, because narrowing the scope to a state would make it easier to control and monitor. However, the other party was willing to let the people of the Federation be scattered in various corners of his territory, and even willing to let them compete fairly.
What is he thinking?
It doesn't seem quite right to say that he's completely on the side of the Federation.
Or perhaps, it's just overconfidence?
Does he believe that even if Federation forces completely infiltrate his territory, he will still be able to maintain control?
If that's the case, this little guy is really arrogant.
