Volume 2 Strange Place Chapter 61 Shuffling the Cards

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Compared with the earth, Shantou Star has an extra 13 months. Although Li Zhuang designated this month as the Spring Festival, no one thought it was good, so it was generally called Nian.  Shantouxing's calendar is a bit messy, but few people are willing to correct it.  In the year 1407 of the Shantou Star Calendar, the Institute of Astronomy of Huashan University proposed a new calendar based on the observation results, but it did not pass the referendum.  Over thousands of years, the residents of Shantou Star have become accustomed to the modified earth's calendar and live leisurely.  The Shanyang Calendar promulgated after the establishment of Shanyang Mansion is mainly used in the research department. Other departments will use it only when they have no choice but to use it as a rule.

    Among the many conventions of the mountain stars, everyone knows that everyone is not known in December, let alone the Jungwan's choice on March 4th. There are both "3" and "4", which is not auspicious.  Although the homophony is boring, it is better to be auspicious than unlucky.  It is no secret that the Aksu Alliance and the Altyn Alliance are fighting in Xizhou. Shantou Planet has advanced communication technology and is a real planet village.  []

    There is no possibility for Shantou Xing to change the rules. There is no doubt that the behavior of the clan must comply with the clan rules.  Although it is fun for a while, it is an approach that will cause endless troubles in the future.  In this case, there shouldn't be any fundamental changes in the Zongren Mansion's moves.

    If nothing happens or if you feel you won¡¯t be punished, sleep comfortably; if something happens, pray that you won¡¯t get caught too much by the tail.  All kinds of people have different ideas. For the officers and soldiers of the Agnew Pioneer Regiment, completing the mission perfectly is the most important thing.  The regiment staff was busy until twelve o'clock in the evening, deducing any possible accidents and formulating relevant countermeasures.

    Amid much attention, the Reconciliation Conference led by the Zong Renfu opened at the newly built multi-functional conference center in Tallinn City. Like the family conference four years ago, it was simultaneously broadcast live and could be received anywhere on Shantou Star.  Judging from this action, the Zongren Mansion is full of confidence and is not worried about major turmoil.

    As the chief officer of the security force, Yu Zhe's nerves had been very tense during the two-day conference and he had no time to understand the content of the conference.  After the reconciliation meeting, the Agnew Pioneers did not evacuate and continued to serve as bodyguards for Min'an Prefecture, Cathay Prefecture and Sanyang Prefecture. They did not lead the army back until all the meetings ended on March 12, and the big bosses went their separate ways.  El Monte Military Base.  The Pioneer Regiment resumed normal operations. The officers and soldiers originally on duty continued to be on duty under the leadership of Yi Guanda and Audrey. Others who were originally scheduled to take leave continued to take leave.

    Yu Zhe returned home happily and was in a very good mood because his son recognized him at the first sight and struggled desperately to hold him.  Diaka muttered and handed it over, and Dazhe put Xiaozhe into the stroller and pushed him around Skiyi Village.  Xiaozhe seems to like to play around a lot, which is more inherited from his father, unlike his mother who stays in her room most of the time.

    In just a few days, the number of residents in Ski Village increased by five, and now the total population is more than 400.  The first resident of Ski Village was Yu Zhe, and he was a celebrity. Everyone knew him and greeted him one after another.  Lord Piddy, who was in a good mood, exchanged greetings with a smile and asked for details.  The new arrivals were all businessmen's families, but judging from their temperament, they were either Lian Jiazi or ex-soldiers with long service experience. They couldn't help but chat for a while until Diaka called to say that Vali had come to say goodbye.

    Except for Tai Jingtang¡¯s business trip to Xizhou, the Walikama family has been staying in Agnew City during this period because it is safer.  Yu Zhe talked to Vali on the phone during his duty, thinking that he would not leave during the annual vacation, but he did not expect that he would come to say goodbye as soon as he came back.  There must be a reason, so he couldn't delay and hurriedly pushed his son to the small castle.

    ¡°My cousin is getting married and must go back.¡± Walikama looked apologetic.

    Yu Zhe said: "I have nothing to do here now. Go ahead. If you are short of gifts, you can pick two from my treasure room."

    Vali suddenly became very happy, "I was just thinking about how to speak, but I didn't expect you to bring it up, so I'm not polite. The emerald pendant numbered 776."

    Yu Zhe was a little dizzy and came again. He said hurriedly: "No problem, but now I can only choose one piece. I brought it from Tabos. It is designed by a famous artist and has no craftsmanship like Shantou Star."

    Vali laughed loudly, "Don't be pretentious in the future. I won't make it difficult for you, just pick one. My cousin heard that you have a lot of expensive jewelry, and she has repeatedly told you that you must get some good stuff from the jewelry tycoon."  "

    Yu Zhe smiled bitterly. He didn't know when he got the nickname "Jewelry Tycoon". It might have something to do with the gifts he gave everywhere.

    "Go on down, don't be stunned, I have to rush back, there are a lot of trivial matters." Vali urged.

    The guy who was slaughtered walked towards the treasure room with a depressed look on his face, and Vali quickly followed.  The two of them didn't come out for a long time, and Vali left quickly, leaving behind a string of laughter.

    "What's going on?" Yi Kazan asked.

    Yu Zhe gritted his teeth, "Wali is proficient in jewelry and said that my emerald pendant was defective. I couldn't defend him, so I had to give him another ruby."?Rings as a match are all caused by quick talk.  "

    Yi Kazan couldn't help but laugh, and Li Lai interrupted, "The gift you gave us is too expensive, and Dia's dowry is a problem."

    Yu Zhe was puzzled, "Why do you need a dowry? I have everything here."

    Li Lai muttered: "We are marrying our daughters, not selling them. If there is not enough dowry, some people will gossip."

    Yu Zhe was speechless, "You can't control other people's words. Let them say whatever they want. You don't have to take it to heart."

    Li Lai was a little hesitant, "How about we return it as it is? The gems are not safe in my house. Besides, the eighteen gems you gave Si Bin are enough. My sister is getting married, and my brother has no reason to accept the gift."

    Yi Kazan waved his hand, "That's it. My family's conditions are average. In the future, you should not give too expensive gifts to relatives and friends, otherwise they will be embarrassed. Although Shantou Star is rich, residents give gifts according to their ability."

    "What about the debts of Mesiji Group?" Yu Zhe carefully mentioned the past.

    Yi Kazan's face suddenly became unnatural, and he sighed for a long time, "That's all, my son-in-law is my son-in-law, please help me pay it back, eight million, do you have it?"

    Yu Zhe was startled, "Why are there so many? But it's no problem. I received 140 million in gifts. After deducting the cost of the wedding banquet, there is still a lot left over."

    Yi Kazan was dumbfounded and said after a long while: "On that day when 60,000 people joined in the fun, the total gift cards were only 60 million. Who gave the others?"

    Yu Zhe then told the story about the gifts given by Wuiaiyi and others. Yi Kazan shook his head repeatedly, "You will be busy in the future. You don't have to pay back except for a small part. You have to go to everything else."

    Yu Zhe smiled and said, "It's okay. I will definitely have a lot of time in the future. It will never go wrong to get to know more people. By the way, you haven't said what the eight million is about."

    Yi Kazan was a little embarrassed, "Shantou Xing encourages entrepreneurship. There are not many large enterprises. Small and medium-sized enterprises are the dominant ones. Logistics are developed. Agnew Insurance Company provides bulk transaction insurance. We were complacent at the time and relied on our strength. The requirements of Maisiji Group were also  It was not high and I was unwilling to buy insurance, but something happened. Although it is easy for an unlimited company to gain the trust of its partners, shareholders must bear joint and several liability."

    Yu Zhe suddenly realized it and asked: "What was the total amount of losses that year?"

    Yi Kazan's face was livid, "It's about 50 million. Even if the Shantou Star loan interest rate is very low, we can't afford it in the short term. It's lucky that the clan government didn't punish him severely for the hit-and-run accident. We don't dare to expect anything more. Felu and Bo  Sha and the others are tightening their belts to pay off their debts. Fortunately, we brought back a lot of good things from Tabos, which paid off half of the debt. According to the company's articles of association and shares, I have the greatest responsibility for this matter, shouldering eight million."

    Yu Zhe said, "How about I help other people pay off their debts?"

    Yi Kazan waved his hands repeatedly, "No, no, you are my son-in-law. It is understandable that you help me. If you help others, you will be in trouble in the future and it is easy to offend others. It has become a common practice for residents of Shantou Star not to borrow money from friends.  . Teacher You Jin didn¡¯t help back then. In addition to the company¡¯s financial constraints, it was also related to the world¡¯s sophistication. Besides, Shantou Star is gradually opening up, and the residents¡¯ income will increase greatly. It won¡¯t take long for Feru and Posa to pay it off.  Don't worry."

    "If we had known that the Agnew people would come to prominence so quickly, we should have listened to Teacher You Jin and not gone to Tabos, and developed in Lunt Continent with peace of mind." Li Lai said.

    Yi Kazan was a little impatient, "There are no ifs in life. If we don't go to Tabos, we won't have the chance to get to know Yu Zhe."

    Li Lai giggled twice and turned to chat with her daughter about trivial matters in life.  Yu Zhe thought of the Jiutian Conference and asked his father-in-law for his opinion. He found that there were many masters among the people, and the little people were equally wise, but they were limited by opportunities and interests and could not get ahead.  Of course, the most important reason was that the conference lasted too long. Although the meetings of Cathay Mansion and Shanyang Mansion were not open to the public, the simultaneous broadcast of the meetings of Zongren Mansion and Min'an Mansion lasted for six days. There were so many topics that he was too lazy to think about them.  .

    Yi Kazan pondered for a long time, organized his views in his mind, and then spoke, "The power of the family security department is far more powerful than we imagined. People on the ancient earth had short lifespans, insufficient resources, and frequent internal fights. Some aspects were not modern.  People can be compared. The information collected by the Zongren Mansion is very detailed. By comparing the performance of some people on Shantou Star with their relationship circle and behavior in Yiaifu, they have successfully uncovered a group of undercover agents and traitors. The so-called reconciliation conference is simple except for its name.  , and none of the others are close to 'reconciliation'. The clan family has never had the idea of ????reconciliation from the beginning. It has a clear purpose and uses all means within the scope allowed by the clan rules to divide the people who intend to break up the family. It's a long story.  , you listen slowly."

    Yu Zhe was calm and composed, and heard that he was quite talented in intelligence analysis.?'s father-in-law commented on the Tallinn conference.  In July 2873, Yi Kazan joined the Intelligence Analysis Department of the Agnew Corps Staff Department. This department integrated the secret agencies previously developed by the Agnew people and was actually the security bureau of the Massabubwe nation.

    The topics on the first day of the Reconciliation Conference were no different from what was expected, with courtesy first and then fighting.  The Zongren Mansion listed the members of the Rasma Witai lineage and the descendants of the earth who are eligible to join the family. The list of people who are unable to obtain family membership is followed by a reason for each item.  Because the topic was about the Yiaifu people, Li Heihe, the representative of the Yiaifu descendants in the Zongren Mansion, presided over the meeting.  The stubborn old man easily settled the thorns with his wealth of intelligence. During the lunch break, the matter between the Rasmawitai clan and the descendants of the earth had come to an end.

    Of the more than 13 million mixed-race descendants of the Rasmawitai family, more than 6.7 million have obtained family membership, while the others have been listed as undesirable and will not be allowed to enter Shantou Planet for a hundred years.  The relationship circles of pure-blood Weitais and mixed-blood Weitais have obtained more than 12 million tourist visas in total. However, the security level of visas is generally not high, and less than 10% of them have Level 6 and above visas that can travel freely.

    More than 2.2 million people from Earth¡¯s descendants have obtained family membership, especially those factions with little influence in Yiifu have gained a lot.  The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Ministry of Civil Affairs has also issued more than 19 million tourist visas to the circle of descendants of the earth, about 20% of whom have security levels of six and above.

    The topic in the afternoon is related to the two departments of civil security.  The Zongren Mansion did not hide it. The number of mixed-race descendants of the Min'an and Yi'an families in Yi'aifu was directly exposed to the family members. There were more than six million and they were widely distributed.  The world of flowers and flowers is very tempting, no wonder Dongzhou is unstable.  To the great surprise of others, 80% of the mixed-race descendants of the two Min'an families have obtained family membership status. Their family members and relatives within three generations have all received high-level green cards, with a minimum renewal interval of ten years and a maximum of fifty years.  It can be seen from this that many mixed-race descendants of the Min'an and Min'an families are the informants of the Zongren Mansion.

    The meeting the next morning was about the issue of Weiguo, and was chaired by Tai Xiguang.  The Patu Patawee and Masabubwe families were at loggerheads, and Tabos and Shantouxing were allies, so it took a lot of thinking.  Since the top management of both parties had a meeting, Tai Xiguang made it clear directly.  He was eloquent and his speeches were full of emotion, sometimes passionate, sometimes worried, and sometimes indignant.  In the ups and downs of the voice, things that ordinary Weiguo clan members don't know or are unsure about are restored one by one. Not everyone is politically sensitive. Tabers' interpersonal relationships are simple, and there are many simple Weiguo clan members.  Tai Xiguang is a master at opening the sky and speaking out to clarify the interests. Many representatives looked like they suddenly understood.

    "Ceremony in front, soldiers behind."  In the afternoon, General Manager Kalemi announced a list after taking the stage, which involved a wide range of people. Those involved were punished in accordance with ethnic rules.  As expected, a large number of undercover agents and traitors were uncovered, and the undercover agents were directly imprisoned. The traitors who had not shown any sign of repentance in the past four years were all executed.  The Weiguo faction was not spared, with nearly a thousand people involved in the case, but it was mainly a political struggle with no bottom line. The civil strife in Masabbu City and the process of pacifying the rebellion in Zhongzhou were investigated by the clan government, and a large number of high-ranking officers were arrested.

    Three days ago, Cathay Pacific announced a personnel adjustment plan.  Li Xindu and Li Renyi, the chief and deputy commanders of the Maple Creek Corps, were both dismissed, and Chief of Staff Tai Weili became the new corps commander.  The Masabubu Army also made adjustments. Deputy Army Commander Filabsi and the commanders of the two armies were transferred, and the mixed-race descendants were dispersed and integrated into each army.  The mountaintop star is not Tabos. It is full of high-tech equipment and it is not Kung Fu's turn to dominate.

    Just as Yu Zhe was about to speak, Yi Kazan continued, "The Civil Security Bureau meeting was the most lively. Thunder Bay gave a government work report and explained the reasons for Shantouxing's existing land policy. Shantouxing is the family headquarters, with a good environment and natural residents.  There will be too many, and restrictions cannot be relaxed. The family is not a country. Except for the three small galaxies at the family headquarters that are not allowed to split, other small galaxies can settle. Family members have the freedom to choose their place of residence and their nationality, but they cannot join other  Family. In other words, the residents of Shantou Star can freely establish their country and choose the lifestyle they like, and the private land of the family headquarters is reserved."

    Yu Zhe thought thoughtfully, "Are there no other civilizations in the star field near Shantou Star?"

    Yi Kazan nodded, "The Shanyang Mansion sent a representative to the Min'an Mansion Conference to explain the nearby star field map. There are only Godina people within three hundred light years. Even if the family grows to 100 billion people, they will still have a place to live, and the living conditions  It won¡¯t get worse.¡±

    Yu Zhe stuck out his tongue, "One hundred billion, it's scary to think about it. It is estimated that no country's management is willing to manage so many people. Split is a matter of time. I've only got 27 billion people, and it's already very chaotic. There are also  against the separatist forces.¡±

    Yi Kazan laughed and said, "When everything is available, there will be fewer people willing to be officials. Thunder Bay once described the current state of Iaver, saying that some people have very wishful thinking but never thought about it.  The chaos in Iever will not last long. It will either restore the perfect restriction mechanism in the Earth Federation era, or it will move towards disintegration. Shan.The location of the star is very good, and the existence of the family headquarters is necessary to mediate disputes and concentrate efforts to protect the descendants.  Li Yunge, the general manager of Shanyang Mansion, was more direct, saying that if the descendants of Yi'aifu don't want the Shantou Star, they can quit the family and move back to Yi'aifu. There is no need to use the four systems of Zhinao as a cover, and there is no need to sell the Shantou Star Gate.  "

    Yu Zhe was stunned, "Why do these big guys speak so unsubtlely?"

    Yi Kazan disagreed, "Why are you so reserved? Shantouxing has a well-developed education and smooth information. If you don't tear off the fig leaf of some people, they will continue to dance. In life, you can't escape the word fame and fortune. Most of the conflicts of ideas are  It's nonsense. In the final analysis, it's all about profit. What the four houses in the Tallinn Conference are doing is using emotions to seduce people, using benefits to seduce people, using reason to convince people, using power to suppress people, and sharpening their knives to pierce people's hearts. Shantou Star does not have the accumulation of Tabos  To live a happy life is to fully consider human nature.¡±

    Yu Zhe was speechless. Seeing that he had no intention of speaking, Yi Kazan continued enthusiastically, "The Tallinn Conference is essentially a public reshuffle to gradually eliminate unstable factors that endanger the family's existence. The Ministry of Civil Security has relaxed information control. From now on  Planet Network is going to be lively.¡±

    "Stop chatting, let's go shopping." Li Lai said.

    The two men seemed to have heard nothing, and Li Lai had no choice but to add, "It's time to consider the location of the wedding. We can't delay it any longer. There are too many people giving gifts and the small place can't fit in."

    You can ignore the previous words, but you can't take the latter seriously. Seventy thousand people are giving gifts. No matter what their purpose is, they can't be neglected. The necessary etiquette must be met.

    "How about we do it at the Rocker Hotel? That place has enough space. If that doesn't work, we can put a table in Wesson Plaza." Yu Zhe had a sudden idea.

    Yi Kazan thought his son-in-law was joking and didn't pay attention. Unexpectedly, he was about to call after he finished speaking and hurriedly stopped him, "The Locker Hotel is too expensive. If it is a big event, the gift money may not be enough."

    Yu Zhe said: "It can be discounted, it doesn't matter, just ask first."

    The celebrity made a phone call and it was done easily. The general manager of the Locker Hotel said that he could get a 40% discount and charge 95 million for a banquet for 70,000 people, mainly home-cooked dishes.  Anyway, everyone is just gathering to join in the fun, not really wanting to eat anything.

    With the location of the wedding banquet settled, Diaka decided to keep the wedding simple. Yi Kazan and Li Lai considered their daughter's psychological quality and did not insist. Besides, it was really difficult to arrange such a big scene.

    Mr. Zhuang doesn¡¯t know when he will come back, but he is busy during the annual holiday, and New Year¡¯s Day is a special day, so a lot of ingredients need to be prepared.  Yu Zhe thought for a while, called Judd, and after seeking advice, he set the wedding date on New Year's Day.

    After busy planning for a while, it¡¯s noon.  The "chef" went into the kitchen without hesitation and quickly prepared a sumptuous lunch.  The family is having fun, and the small castle is full of warmth, which is completely different from the liveliness before.

    The days passed day by day, and soon it was December 24th.  At nine o'clock in the morning that day, the Zongren Mansion and the Min'an Mansion jointly issued new private land management regulations, allowing Tai Min'an's three lineages and Earth descendants to freely choose private land in designated areas in the North, East, West and South Continents.

    As soon as the news came out, the land and housing exchange network was crowded with people, and the never-tired automatic government affairs system handled the property rights exchange procedures in an orderly manner.  Shantouxing's land and housing exchanges are divided into ownership exchanges and use rights exchanges. Due to the unified construction quality standards, there are no shoddy projects and there are few disputes.  Even so, most people still only exchange usage rights.  The procedure is simple, but moving is not easy.  There are only the last few days of the annual vacation. Everyone is moving together. All the aircraft on Shantou Planet are used. There are all kinds of flying objects everywhere in the sky of the planet.

    The liveliness of the Ifu people has nothing to do with the Lunt people. After the reconciliation conference concluded, the internal fighting in Lunt continent came to an end.  Various unsettled elements of the Pattu Pattavi clan were either arrested or moved to non-key positions.  The clan rules followed the principle of "better to let go than to kill by mistake", and there was no suspicion of guilt. The frightened guy breathed a sigh of relief, but he knew that he was still under observation and did not jump again.

    Those who like to stir up trouble and trouble have stopped, and the construction of Luntzhou has become the protagonist.  Among the three important cities in the south, apart from Kechusi City, which has already taken shape, Kentis City and Gareth City are still on the construction plan.  Debt was overwhelming. At the beginning of the year, the Patu Pattaw Clan borrowed NT$20 billion from the Bank of Wei to start construction. The long-planned Masabubwe Clan joined in and made a lot of money.  The employees of the construction company did not take a break during the Chinese New Year and worked hard on the construction site.

    Yu Zhe didn't care about these. In the last few days of 2876, he had been on the phone frantically. He knew too many people and had many acquaintances, so he could only call one by one.  I skip the rest and just send messages.  Although the preparation for the wedding is simple, it cannot be made simple in fact. Shantouxing's wedding has its own conventions. Although there are many versions, the necessary procedures are indispensable.

      "Dad, is there anything else you haven't done well?" Yu Zhe asked as he lay slumped on the sofa at dusk.

    Yi Kazan stroked his beard and said, "It should be almost done. The wedding is a big event, and most people only have it once in their lives. There is no need to be sad. Tomorrow is New Year's Day, and it's too late."

    While the two were chatting, Dia suddenly walked in with a strange expression and whispered: "Teacher Zhuang is at the door."

    Yu Zhe immediately jumped up and ran towards the door.  There was an old man and a young man standing at the door. The old man had a very familiar face, Boss Kongba, the young man didn't.

    "Why didn't you inform me in advance when you were coming?" Yu Zhe said.

    Old man Zhuang smiled and said: "I know you are busy. I just came back and stopped by to take a look. Haha, when I got married, others said it would be fast, but not as fast as you. There was no news at all."

    Yu Zhe scratched his head in embarrassment, "We have children, the sooner the better."

    Old man Zhuang laughed, then shook his head and said, "Go sit in the living room."

    Yu Zhe then remembered that he was rude and hurriedly led the two of them into the yard.  Yi Kazan, Li Lai and Diaka were all waiting in the yard. The two parties exchanged pleasantries for a while and then entered the living room.

    "Let me introduce you, this is Jilonga." Old Man Zhuang said.

    Yu Zhe was stunned for a moment, then thought about it and was busy being polite.  Jilonga said: "My name in the genealogy is Kajilong, you can call me Jilong. I came here today without bringing any gifts, I hope you don't mind, Teacher Zhuang didn't tell me when he came, I thought  I won¡¯t see you until tomorrow.¡±

    Old man Zhuang chuckled, "It's not too late to make up for it tomorrow, Yu Zhe, where is the child?"

    Yu Zhe pursed his lips while Diaka went to the side room to pick up his son and show him to the two distinguished guests.  Xiaozhe was fast asleep and didn't react at all.

    ¡°Give me two kitchen knives and ask You Jin for them in a month. I will deliver the knives to him.¡± Mr. Zhuang said.

    Yu Zhe was overjoyed and handed over the knife and scabbard.  After taking it, Old Man Zhuang said goodbye and left with Jilonga.  The four of them walked to the door together and returned to the living room after seeing the speeding car driving away.

    "Who is Zilonga?" Yi Kazan asked impatiently.

    Yu Zhe said in a deep voice: "The great-grandson of King Radamosh of Kabamba is very likely to be the next king. Teacher Zhuang's relationship with Godina and Kabamba is far deeper than we imagined. Zongren Mansion  Full of confidence to shuffle the cards.¡±

    The living room suddenly fell into silence.
