The boss of a foreign organization called the police, claiming that he was defrauded by me

Although the name of the Great Zhou Dynasty sounds like a feudal dynasty, its power structure and job positions are ingenious.

Even their weaponry is on par with theirs, and even more advanced.

This is definitely a powerful nation in terms of weaponry.

Maintaining good relations with the Great Zhou Dynasty is indeed not a bad thing for the Nine Boat Kingdom.

Seeing the group chatting happily, Yang Li could only calm himself down and listen to their conversation silently.

"So what are your thoughts on what happened in the group chat before?" Shen Jiahao suddenly asked, posing a question that made everyone feel awkward.

This is an issue they have been trying to avoid.

But Shen Jiahao's sudden mention of it caught both of them off guard.

Chen Liang also looked completely bewildered.

Although Dai Xiaomei was a little better than Chen Liang, she was also stunned by Shen Jiahao's question and sat blankly in the chair.

This kid is way too direct.

Is this something that can be discussed openly?
They all planned to resolve it privately; those who wanted to stay in the Great Zhou Dynasty could simply go on their own.
Could it be that this can be done in a team?

Seeing that the two remained silent, Shen Jiahao narrowed his eyes slightly and then stated his position: "We are not quite clear about the rules of this matter. Should we ask the King?"

"Yang Xia seems quite easy to talk to. He's letting us retain our land ownership there and not canceling our Jiuzhou Kingdom registration. There shouldn't be any problem, right?" Shen Jiahao said uncertainly.

This is a huge pie; it would be such a waste to give it up.

Um?……

When Yang Li heard those kids say those words, his hand trembled slightly involuntarily.

Land ownership?
Do they still retain the household registration of the Nine Boat Kingdom?
What on earth do they want to do?
Could the Great Zhou Dynasty possibly grant them hereditary land ownership?

This is simply incomprehensible.

Land is of paramount importance to a country.

In particular, the Nine-Nation Kingdom has one of the strictest land control measures in the world.

Residents only have the right to use the land, but have absolutely no ownership of it.

The purpose of this was to prevent people from hoarding land and thus carving out their own family spheres of influence.

If this situation spreads, it could very likely pose a serious threat to the entire Nine Boats Kingdom.

They had finally managed to completely eliminate all the past problems, but unexpectedly, they were now hearing about how the Great Zhou Dynasty handled such matters.

The Great Zhou Dynasty actually planned to allocate land to these people who held titles.

Isn't this crazy?

Yang Li almost couldn't control himself and wanted to rush in to ask about the matter in detail.

But after thinking for a moment, he finally managed to hold back.

This matter has nothing to do with the Nine Boats Kingdom, and cooperation with the Great Zhou Dynasty will not be interrupted because of it.

Whatever decisions the Great Zhou Dynasty makes are none of their business in the Nine Boat Kingdom.

As a citizen of the Nine Boats Kingdom, he naturally could not interfere in the affairs of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Therefore, when Yang Li heard about this, he could only stand outside the door, feeling frustrated and silently listening to their conversation.

"Are you sure?" Dai Xiaomei stared intently at Shen Jiahao and asked.

Shen Jiahao held a higher position among them, so if he wanted to find out about this matter, it would definitely be much easier for him than for them.

Upon hearing the silly girl's words, Shen Jiahao's face flashed with shame, then he shook his head: "I was just saying it casually!"

"Yang Xia is such a good person, he shouldn't make things difficult for us, otherwise he wouldn't have let us return to Jiuzhou Kingdom safely!"

"Now that we have obtained the fiefdom of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the most crucial thing is to decide whether to settle there!"

"If we settle there, having dual citizenship doesn't seem like a good thing for us!"

When Shen Jiahao said this, a hint of embarrassment appeared in his eyes.

This matter is indeed tricky to handle.

Because the Nine-Boat Nation does not allow dual citizenship.

If you really go to the Great Zhou Dynasty, the Nine Boats Kingdom will remove you from its register.

In other words, you will no longer be a native of the Nine Boats Kingdom.

You will not be able to enjoy any of the welfare benefits offered by the Nine Boats Kingdom.

If you want to live here again, you'll even need to apply for a green card!
For someone who grew up in the Kingdom of Nine Boats, this was undoubtedly more painful than killing them.

This is also their biggest concern right now.

Just as everyone was at a loss, the conference room door was knocked on again.

The group stopped talking and turned their attention to the conference room door.

"The door's unlocked, come in!" It was Chen Liang who spoke.

After Chen Liang finished speaking, he turned his gaze toward the door, wanting to see who was coming to the conference room this time.

When the conference room door was fully opened, everyone gasped and stood up from their seats.

The person who came was none other than Wu Bogang, a university history professor with extensive knowledge.

"How long have you been here?" Wu Bogang was the oldest among them.

Seeing several young people in the conference room, Wu Bogang asked them a question in a very casual manner, and greeted them warmly, just like an elder to a younger generation.

"Professor Wu!" the three greeted respectfully.

Wu Bogang waved his hand repeatedly and said, "Don't be so polite here. When did you arrive? What were you talking about just now?"

Wu Bogang heard the discussion inside the door from outside; it seemed to be about land.

Are these people also considering whether or not to live in the Great Zhou Dynasty?
Coincidentally, he also had reservations about this matter, and since these young people were discussing it here, he was naturally very willing to join in.

Chen Liang and Shen Jiahao exchanged a glance.

They were all barons of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Moreover, they had all shared life-and-death experiences, so they weren't very wary of each other.

Seeing Wu Bogang say this, the two replied earnestly, "We were just discussing here whether or not to go and live in the Great Zhou Dynasty!"

"The Great Zhou Dynasty has truly been incredibly kind to us. In every aspect, including benefits, they far surpass the treatment we receive in the Nine Boat Kingdom!"

"We're currently debating whether or not to go to the Great Zhou Dynasty to receive a fiefdom and settle down there!"

“But if we go to live in the Great Zhou Dynasty, won’t we be at risk of having dual citizenship? After all, once we settle in the Great Zhou Dynasty, it’s equivalent to having citizenship of the Great Zhou Dynasty!” Shen Jiahao said with a worried expression.

Chen Liang and Dai Xiaomei both nodded in agreement.

This is precisely what worries them the most.

Seeing how clearly everyone had analyzed the matter, Wu Bogang couldn't help but feel a sense of relief.

These individuals come from prominent families, and their perspectives on people and things are indeed different from those of ordinary people.

If it were anyone else who went to the Great Zhou Dynasty, they would probably have been mesmerized by its prosperity.

If they learned that the Great Zhou Dynasty would allocate land to them free of charge, and that they would own the land, many would likely be tempted to settle in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

After all, land ownership is not so easy to obtain. In the Kingdom of Nine Boats, no land belongs to any individual resident.

Both homestead land and land use rights need to be declared to the state.

While this has a certain degree of coercion, it has an undeniable positive impact on a country's long-term development.

However, the Great Zhou Dynasty granted them a fiefdom and even allowed them to live there.

Although the Great Zhou Dynasty did not explicitly mention the issue of nationality, it had effectively become a fait accompli in the Nine Boat Kingdom.

This is also their biggest concern right now.

Seeing the worried looks on everyone's faces, Wu Bogang suddenly suggested, "Why don't we ask the King directly? If we can have a fiefdom of the Great Zhou Dynasty without having to become a citizen of the Great Zhou Dynasty, it seems to be more advantageous for us!"

"When we purchased the baronial title from the Great Zhou Dynasty, it was a transaction. Since it's a transaction, we should aim to maximize our profits!"

When Wu Bogang said this, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he smiled like a cunning fox.

After all, when Yang Xia granted them fiefdoms, he did not require them to have the nationality of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

As long as they do not acquire citizenship of the Great Zhou Dynasty, they will remain citizens of the Nine Boats Kingdom.

However, they possessed titles from the Great Zhou Dynasty.

This is equivalent to enjoying the benefits from both sides.

Wu Bogang's words caused the expressions of everyone present to change slightly.

Everyone stared wide-eyed at the university history professor in disbelief.

Is this what a professor truly is?
He was indeed incredibly shrewd and ruthless.

Anyone who dares to offend a university professor is truly asking for trouble.

After witnessing Wu Bogang's prowess, everyone fell silent, quietly sitting in their seats and ceasing to discuss the matter.

When Wu Bogang saw that everyone had suddenly fallen silent, he naturally understood what they were thinking.

Seeing that they intended to push the matter onto him, Wu Bogang couldn't help but smile wryly, and then decisively took out his phone and made a call to Yang Xia.

Yang Xia has been living a very comfortable life in the Great Zhou Dynasty during this period.

No one nagged him, and he lived a carefree life.

He enjoys the leisurely life that the peony has carefully prepared for him every day.

Peony takes meticulous care of everything from clothing and food to housing and transportation.

It's truly remarkable that this king could maintain his integrity amidst such a privileged life.

When Wu Bogang called Yang Xia, Yang Xia was lying on a soft couch, propping his head up with one hand, his mouth slightly open, and his eyes closed.

Peony, standing beside him, squatted obediently next to Yang Xia, picked the grapes from the table, peeled them, and fed them to Yang Xia one by one.

A servant standing nearby respectfully accepted the grape seeds that Yang Xia spat out.

They're living a really comfortable life.

"Jingle Bell!!"

Just as Yang Xia was enjoying this decadent lifestyle, the phone suddenly rang beside him.

When Yang Xia heard the phone ring, he frowned slightly, then lazily sat up from the soft couch.

Peony, who was standing next to him, had already picked up her phone from the side and handed it to Yang Xia with both hands.

"Your Majesty, is it about the Jiaolong ship?" Peony couldn't help but ask.

Upon hearing this, Yang Xia glanced at the caller ID on his phone.

Upon seeing the number on the caller ID, Yang Xia shook his head: "No, it must be about the Nine Boats Kingdom!"

Yang Xia answered the phone after speaking.

As soon as the call connected, he heard a voice on the other end: "Your Majesty, are you alright?"

Yang Xia: "..."

How could he not be good, being the king of a nation?

"What is it?" Yang Xia asked.

These people calling me must mean something's wrong.

Could it be that they have already reached a specific area of ​​the Nine Boats Kingdom, and are calling me to ask for my opinion?

Yang Xia's expression softened slightly as he thought about the cooperation between the Nine Boat Kingdom and the Great Zhou Dynasty.

"Where are you now?" Yang Xia suddenly asked.

Upon hearing Yang Xia's words, Wu Bogang's heart trembled slightly, and he honestly replied, "We are currently in the Western Military Region of the Nine Boats Kingdom, and we've encountered a bit of trouble!"

Um?……

After listening to Wu Bogang's story, Yang Xia's eyes flashed with surprise.

These people are barons of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Normally, no one would deliberately make things difficult for them. Even if they were invited by the Nine Boat Kingdom, they should be treated with courtesy. How could there be a problem?
"What exactly happened?" Yang Xia asked again.

The young girl and Shen Jiahao were taken aback, then looked helplessly at Wu Bogang's hesitant expression.

What's so embarrassing about this?

Unexpectedly, Wu Bogang, who brought this up, was so timid.

Shen Jiahao, who was never afraid of anything, snatched the phone from Wu Bogang's hand, brought it to his ear, and respectfully said to Yang Xia, "Your Majesty, we were just discussing the fiefdom you granted!"

"If we go to the Great Zhou Dynasty to receive our fiefdom, will we have dual citizenship?"

If they go to the Great Zhou Dynasty to receive their fiefdoms, they will inevitably have to settle there permanently.

Once settled, their nationality may change.

Their families might not agree to this either.

Moreover, immigration is not something that can be decided in just a few words.

Therefore, they are currently trying to find a perfect solution to see if they can remain in the Great Zhou Dynasty while retaining their citizenship in the Nine Boat Kingdom.

Upon hearing Shen Jiahao's words, Yang Xia raised an eyebrow.

It turned out to be because of this.

He granted them fiefdoms solely because the amount they had previously paid was worthy of them.

As for the nationality of the Great Zhou Dynasty!
I'm sorry, although the Great Zhou Dynasty welcomes these people with titles, it will not grant them the status of citizens of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

The power granted by a title is very limited.

More importantly, this title was merely honorary and held no real power.

They could enjoy all the benefits of the Great Zhou Dynasty and even receive its protection.

However, they do not need to reside in the Great Zhou Dynasty for an extended period. As for the fiefdoms mentioned earlier, the Great Zhou Dynasty can also manage them on their behalf.

The annual profits can be deposited into their accounts unconditionally.

Therefore, after listening to their concerns, Yang Xia said frankly, "You don't need to worry about this!"

"The title of Baron in the Great Zhou Dynasty is merely a symbol of your status. The title of Baron is just the beginning; there are four other ranks of nobility: Duke, Marquis, Earl, Viscount, and Baron."

"Titles do not correspond to power. You may enjoy certain privileges as barons of the Great Zhou Dynasty, but if you wish to become citizens of the Great Zhou Dynasty, it is your choice; I will not force you!" (End of Chapter)
