Chapter 1231 – No Christmas, Only Chinese New Year

Leaving 1107 street, although Ouyang Shuo was disappointed, he was not really nervous.

He was disappointed because he understood through this matter that the Chinese upper echelon had not recognized him. This proved that his influence only reached the commoner level and had not affected the elites.

At the very least, his influence was not as great as he had thought.

He was not nervous because with Great Xia’s current position as the inheritor of Chinese civilization, his position was unshakeable. In the whole world, apart from Great Xia, no one could speak for Chinese civilization.

This was his advantage.

As long as Great Xia did not sink, Ouyang Shuo who controlled the situation would remain invincible.

As for how to make the elites slowly recognize his ideals and not look at him with judgmental eyes, both parties would need to work hard for that to happen.

Time was also needed.

Ouyang Shuo was walking on a path of influence that exceeded the game world.

…

The small setback that happened on street 1107 did not affect the excitement from the recruitment notice.

Huo Qihua was one of the lucky ones.

In reality, he was an advanced accountant who worked as the CFO of a famous enterprise. He had a beautiful wife and a smart and cute daughter. He was winning in both work and life.

The interplanetary migration had totally changed his fate.

Huo Qihua was a typical nerd and rarely had contact with games. After being forced into the game world, he first tried to be a combat occupation player, but he could not adapt to combat.

After the failure, he became a work occupation player and prepared to be a merchant, but he lacked the funds to start.

Their family lived poorly in Jianye.

Luckily, his wife did not leave him under such poor conditions, and the family of three survived.

When Gaia activated the achievement value exchange event, he gritted his teeth and exchanged for gold. He had his eyes on the equipment market and was prepared to take a gamble.

At this moment, Snow War Rose obtained a bunch of equipment eliminated from Great Xia and threw them into the equipment market, causing prices to fall and making him lose a lot of money.

It was not that he was dumb, rather, it was because he lacked the relevant business information in the game. Although his sharp senses had brought him to the correct market, it was useless in the end.

After the failure of his business, Huo Qihua could not pick himself up.

10th month, calamity, the grain prices rose up crazily, and his family nearly starved to death. Only when Zhan Lang led the Donghai Province to join Great Xia did the price fall, which allowed them to escape death.

To them, Great Xia was their undoubted savior.

After the Imperial Court gave out the recruitment notice, Huo Qihua did not even hesitate and immediately went to the imperial capital to apply. His target role was the advanced accountant of the Financial Court Business Department.

Using his experience, he was very fortunately hired.

From that moment onward, his fate would change, and he would walk onto a whole new path.

Although his experience was a little special, he was not the only such lucky star. Great Xia’s recruitment of talents helped changed the fates of many families and also won the hearts of the people.

…

In the blink of an eye, the 1st month was nearing its end.

In the past month, Great Xia had released explosive news after explosive news, attracting a lot of attention. Right after entering the 2nd month, maybe because they were jealous, but the Dawson Dynasty also revealed a piece of huge news.

2nd month, 5th day, the Dawson Dynasty officially attacked Venezuela.

Jack also made a high profile announcement, saying that he would merge Columbia and Venezuela to establish the Columbia state. After that, he would send a governor and a total of 300 thousand troops over.

His motive to fight head on against Great Xia was really apparent.

More crucially, Columbia state would be directly connected to the Brasilia Dynasty.

Although the Brasilia Dynasty had not taken sides yet and did not belong to any camp, with his character, Jack would definitely stir up the pond that was South America.

The Indian Empire’s situation was growing more and more arduous.

Just at this moment, Indian Empire king Juarez made a shocking decision to change his direction of attack. He would defend against Brasilia Dynasty and focus on attacking Argentina in the south.

When Ouyang Shuo received the report, he was filled with thoughts.

Juarez was undoubtedly intelligent and knew that with the Dawson Dynasty interfering, along with the strength of the Brasilia Dynasty, the Indian Empire would surely find it really hard to beat them.

Rather than wasting time and soldiers on the west side, why not attack the Argentina region in the south? This move would help to stabilize their back garden before being freed up to go all out against the Brasilia Dynasty.

Although that was the case, Ouyang Shuo still had some worries. With his understanding of the Spain Dynasty and Casillas, he was not a Lord that would admit defeat easily.

The Spain Dynasty that was rising up might try to protect the Argentina region.

Ouyang Shuo was not certain.

…

While the Dawson Dynasty was grinding their blades, Great Xia was shining too.

In the East Africa battlefield, Baiqi left the East Africa legion corps to defend while ordering Meng Tian to lead to Wolf legion corps to take down South Sudan. Baiqi personally led the North and West Africa legion corps to attack Kenya.

The flames of war rose up on the East Africa battlefield.

Be it the Wolf legion corps or the North Africa legion corps, although they were just formed up, they were all elites. Along with their generals all wanting to contribute to the dynasty and obtain credit, the morale was unusually high.

Within a month, the dust from these two battles would probably settle.

Back on Great Xia’s homeland, they welcomed yet another New Year’s Eve. Ouyang Shuo ordered all the provinces, be it local or overseas, to celebrate the Chinese New Year.

The goal was to spread Chinese culture and tradition around.

Especially in the Southeast Asia region, which belonged to a Chinese civilization circle and was heavily influenced. Nanjiang Governor-General Bai Hua had been preparing for this matter since a month ago.

Bai Hua said that she wanted to make this festive season as bustling as on China’s mainland itself.

For this, not only did she use herself as an example and bring her family over to spend the holiday, but she also used her connections to bring over troupes, dragon dances, lion dances, and more to hold a New Year’s Eve party at the Governor-general house.

Seeing Bai Hua do that, North Africa protector general Mulan Yue naturally did not want to lose. Although it was war time, the festive spirit there was no less because she wanted to let them feel and enjoy Chinese culture.

Even the Ecuador Prefecture, Hawaii, which was deep in the Pacific, and Maldives in the Indian Ocean all treated the matter with importance.

Great Xia had made it clear that the offices, be it local or overseas, would have their holidays following the Chinese calendar and not the western Christmas.

Ouyang Shuo even commented that he wanted to make Christmas non-existent in Great Xia.
