Rebirth of the Republic of China: The Story of the Chaebol

In the blink of an eye, it was April of the 50th year.

At this time, Sun Tong and his group had been wandering outside for more than 9 months.

To be honest, this was the first time that Sun Tong and his wife and three of them were unable to spend the New Year with their children, and they were still not used to it.

But compared to the beautiful scenery outside, they are too lazy to go back and be supervised by their children at home.

After 9 months of hard work, Sun Tong and his team have now visited several islands in the South Pacific and the empire's islands in the South Pacific region. Although the trip was rushed, they were able to see different scenery in different places, which still benefited the team a lot.

At this time they had arrived at the Australian continent.

When Nanhua invaded the Australian territory, it established four kingdoms here in one go.

However, Australia has a large land area and a small population, and there are large tracts of desert. After discussion by the Imperial Cabinet and personal approval by Emperor Sun Tong, the four kingdoms in Australia were eventually merged into two kingdoms, Western Australia and Eastern Australia.

At this time, Sun Tong and his friends were wandering around the Kingdom of East Australia.

After years of immigration, the population of the Kingdom of East Australia has now reached 43 million. The key is that with the large-scale influx of Chinese into Australia in the southeast corner of the mainland, that place is now being gradually assimilated by South China.

There are many beautiful sights in Dong'ao that are worth seeing in person. It took Sun Tong and his companions more than two months to tour Dong'ao. Now there are less than two months left before the South China World Cup. In order to return to his country to host this World Cup, King Sun Tong had to temporarily stop his travel and choose to return to Xin'an.

"Father, welcome back."

"Your Majesty, welcome home!"

Just as Sun Tong and his group had just returned to Xin'an by plane, Sun Jingwen and Qu Hongxi were already waiting at the airport with their people.

Because Qu Hongxi is not yet of age, in fact this guy has not retired yet. This time when Sun Tong goes out, he should bring Qu Hongxi, the "chief secretary", with him.

However, considering that Sun Jingwen still lacked experience in governing the country, Sun Tong left Qu Hongxi in Xin'an and asked him to assist Sun Jingwen in handling official affairs.

Because of this, Qu Hongxi privately complained to Sun Tong many times for going out without taking him.

"Thank you for your hard work!"

What else can Sun Tong say at this time? He is an irresponsible emperor who has thrown state affairs to other people and ran away to live a carefree life. It would be unacceptable if he didn't say something nice at this time.

"Compared to your Majesty's tireless inspections, our hard work is nothing."

What is a smart person?

This is called a smart person. From this person's mouth, Sun Tong was not going out to play at all, but was going to local areas to conduct research without any fear of hardship or difficulty. What kind of spirit is this?

Of course, as soon as this man said this, he was despised by everyone present.

However, despite their contempt, many people still regretted not thinking of this, otherwise they would definitely leave a good impression in front of Sun Tong.

"After all, the airport is a public place. In order not to delay people's travel, it is better for everyone to leave here first. I intend to hold a banquet in the palace tonight to make up for the New Year's ball that was not held last year. I will have someone send the invitations to your homes later. Don't forget to bring your sons and daughters with you!"

"I thank you, Your Majesty!"

Although all Nanhua officials had to enter Sun Tong's personal space, it was still taboo for officials to contact each other privately on weekdays. After all, the party struggles within Nanhua had caused several major disturbances. Although no one died, many people completely lost their future because of the party struggles.

It is for this reason that since then, Nanhua has officially stipulated restrictions on communication between officials. The restrictions here are basically after the officials get off work. Sun Tong is also afraid that this group of people will get together for no reason and cause trouble again.

It is also because of this regulation that it has become a rather difficult thing for officials to marry each other. It is not so bad for low-level officials, after all, the country does not restrict their contact with each other. The most troublesome are the middle and senior officials of the empire.

In order to solve this problem, the royal family held a New Year's ball. On this day, each family would bring their unmarried children to the ball. To put it bluntly, this ball was like a blind date meeting organized by the royal family specifically for officials.

Emperor Sun Tong put a lot of thought into his ministers.

Fortunately, this New Year's ball was quite successful. To date, six New Year's balls have brought together a total of 67 couples, including children of great imperial nobles such as Karl and Jiao Hongguang.
