Chapter 802 - Country t.i.tle Meeting

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

A year had pa.s.sed, 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 leaders.h.i.+p 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 wors.h.i.+p 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 wors.h.i.+p 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 wors.h.i.+p 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 establis.h.i.+ng 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 establis.h.i.+ng 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 a.s.sembly of the year.

During the a.s.sembly, Xiao He, Wei Yang, Fan Li, and Du Ruhui all worked together to hand over a memorial to suggest the process of establis.h.i.+ng the country as the most important matter to start the year.

Ouyang Shuo did not refuse and agreed on the spot.

For Shanhai City to establish a country was definitely not an easy matter. Apart from upgrading to Capital City, there were other matters that needed to be completed.

The first would be to confirm the t.i.tle of the reigning dynasty.

This t.i.tle was hugely important as it affected the fate of the entire territory and was the foundation of the country.

Everything had a process. Starting up with nothing meant that the foundation was not stable so it was hard to obtain luck and prosperity. Just like Shanhai City, the name Shanhai was just a random name and did not hold any historical meaning. Even though he had overpowered territory specialties, it still remained difficult for him to attract huge talents who willingly pledged their loyalty.

This was the meaning of a foundation being not stable.

Qin Dynasty was known as Shuide, which was black in color, referring to the power of the ghost G.o.ds.

If a person had a dark aura, it meant that one was close to the underworld and the country would not last for long.

The Qin Dynasty moved away from the king system and started the emperor system. Since they started it, they did not have any foundation, so it ended in three generations.

The Han Dynasty continued in their path, learning from their mistakes and slowly got better.

Further dynasties, with the stability of Qin and Han, the way of the emperor was already formed and a strong foundation was already established. As such, everyone afterward was just inheriting it, so there was no need to start from scratch.

The regime was not the only important aspect as even the t.i.tle of the ruler was really important.

Normally speaking, the crown prince and others children, or the emperor's favorite people, would be given the t.i.tle of prince of the country. Amongst which, the t.i.tles of Qin, Pu, Qi, and Chu were the most honorable as they represented the four most powerful countries during the Warring States Period.

The brothers of the emperor would also be given relatively high t.i.tles. As for his b.a.s.t.a.r.d sons, their t.i.tles would not be that good. Below the t.i.tle of prince was also the dukes, which were a level lower.

A duke was usually two words awarded based on the name of the prefecture of county.

As such, in terms of t.i.tles, it represented the fate and destiny as well as foundation of the country.

Hence, when a Lord player established the country, it was best for them to inherit an ancient country t.i.tle. It would be like inheriting the foundations of the past, and they would not need to start from scratch.

Rebellions in history did not understand this theory, often making some random t.i.tle or even making up t.i.tles that had never appeared before.

It was not that these new t.i.tles would not work, but like branches stabbed into a ground, it would need to take root before it could grow. And this taking root needed time and luck. People battling one another meant that all the luck and prosperity were used in the wars and battles, so there was none left to be used on molding a foundation.

As a result, many of the revolutions in history failed.

Like how the Chensheng Wuguang Rebellion became the Han Regime; Huangjin Rebellion became the Wei Pu, and the quick ride and fall of the Sui Dynasty became the Tang Dynasty.

Many things prove that.

In the wilderness since the Qin Dynasty, every important regime would enter the game. If any Lord did not see that coming and used t.i.tles such as Qin, Han, Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming, or similar t.i.tles, they would be in for a good one.

To protect tradition, the country that inherited the t.i.tle had the rights to launch war on other territories that stole its t.i.tle. The end result would be that only one side would survive.

If any Lord had the confidence that they could destroy the imperial city, taking their t.i.tle would become a possibility.

However, Ouyang Shuo temporary did not have such ambitions.

Hence, Shanhai City only had two choices. First, he could choose from the dynasty t.i.tles from
the Spring and Autumn Warring States Period like Qi, Chu, Zhao, Zheng, and the like.

During the Three Kingdoms Era, the Wei and Wu countries all used this method. The 16 states of the southern alliance, the five dynasties, and the 10 kingdoms all followed this method.

Amongst the t.i.tles, the t.i.tles of Qin, Wei, Pu, these with historical regimes, were best left untouched. If not, conflicts might start one day because of it.

Even if they did not move into an imperial city, it could lay its roots in the aristocratic families; this was similar to how Xiang Yu had established West Chu.

Before West Chu was destroyed, it was best that Lords did not choose the t.i.tle of Chu.

Secondly would be to choose from Xia, Shang, Zhou, these ancient t.i.tles. These three imperial cities would not appear and were the beginnings of all regimes and dynasties, so they were good choices.

Wu Zetian, who changed Tang to Zhou and formed the Wuzhou Regime, was using such a method.

In the wilderness, these t.i.tles were on a first come first serve basis. The moment a Lord used one of them, no one else could take the same t.i.tle. The only way would be to destroy that country and take the t.i.tle.

For someone to come from behind to achieve that was truly difficult.

Ouyang Shuo personally leaned toward the second choice as there were only three ancient t.i.tles, and they were the ones with the most weight. However, during the court a.s.sembly, Ouyang Shuo did not state his opinion.

He wanted to let all of them discuss the matter before coming to a decision.
