I can find treasures in my dreams.

Li Zhongda is an old man who stayed behind.

The reason they call him "Liuzi" instead of a more respectable title like "overseas student" is because they are essentially a bunch of slackers.

Li Zhongda and the group he represents often have to pay for their own admission to some low-quality foreign universities because of their mediocre or terrible grades.

They usually study worthless majors like "business" or "international trade" at these diploma mills.

Because of their lack of professional skills, they naturally cannot find jobs abroad and can only return to China to rely on their parents and relatives for a job. Many people work their whole lives and still can't earn back the cost of studying abroad.

Li Zhongda spent four years studying at a dubious university in the Commonwealth of Canada and has been back in China for quite some time now.

Because of his considerable seniority, he can be considered an "old" veteran.

In the early years.

The Gameni Federation still holds a romanticized image in the minds of the people of Great Xia, and many people are unaware of diploma mills, so Li Zhongda is doing relatively well.

He found a good job in Tianhai City, the economic center of Daxia, bought a house with his parents' financial help, got married, and had a son.

Compared to their peers, they are significantly more advanced.

When he chats with colleagues and friends, he always speaks in a tone that "the Commonwealth of Canaan is so great and its social welfare is so perfect," and he is very proud of his study abroad experience.

This is a typical example of self-aggrandizement.

For students studying abroad, they must prove that the country they are studying in is better than China, in order for their diploma to have value.

But the only constant in the world is change.

As Li Zhongda reached middle age, he unsurprisingly encountered a midlife crisis and was "optimized" out of his company.

He learned from HR that the optimization rate was 10%, and people with illegitimate diplomas like his were the main targets for optimization.

By this time, "don't leave your resume" has become a consensus in the industry, and a diploma from a fake institution has become a "negative point," so Li Zhongda sent out many resumes but received no response.

He rarely mentions his study abroad experience to others.

Six months after being unemployed, the expected thing happened.

His wife divorced him.

In order to make a living, Li Zhongda had no choice but to become a ride-hailing driver.

Two years later, natural disasters struck, and the ride-hailing business became unsustainable.

Fortunately, the country is quite considerate of ordinary people. The neighborhood committee arranged a community job for him with a monthly salary of 3000 yuan, so he no longer has to worry about starving to death.

Compared to before, the difference was too great, so Li Zhongda was always full of complaints, and even his son was unwilling to talk to him.

It was the third year of the era of natural disasters.

The Great Xia Dynasty has almost completely escaped the effects of natural disasters, and various cutting-edge technologies have emerged one after another, leading to a thriving economy.

Li Zhongda is still working in the community.

Given his age and knowledge base, he can't actually do much work.

But Li Zhongda's complaints were significantly fewer.

Because the welfare benefits provided by the government are increasing and getting better.

Various subsidies such as "medical subsidies", "transportation subsidies" and "living subsidies" can add up to more than 2000 yuan a month. In addition, the salary has increased to 3500 yuan, and the monthly income is close to 6000 yuan.

More importantly, thanks to the vigorous promotion of intelligent technology in Daxia, most of the work is now done by AI, making his job extremely simple. Most of the time, he only needs to move his fingers and tap his phone a few times.

Compared to an incredibly easy job, 6000 yuan is definitely a high salary.

This perfectly fits the saying "high pay, low workload, and close to home".

Online, these types of positions have a name – "National Placement Position".

According to statistics, various official institutions in Daxia have created more than 1.2 million job positions.

Li Zhongda believes that these 1.2 million jobs can be completely eliminated. The government is deliberately keeping so many dispensable jobs just to find a reason to give money to ordinary people.

Looking across the world, apart from Great Xia, there is no other country that treats its citizens in this way.

Behind this lies the country's exceptional financial strength; otherwise, it would be impossible to support hundreds of millions of idle people.

From now on.

Li Zhongda stopped saying "how good the social welfare of Gameni is" and instead started saying "the social welfare of Daxia is the best in the entire Canglan Star".

In addition, he understands Gamene, so he often visits the foreign section of the Tower of Babel network to showcase the wonderful life of the Bactrian people.

This even became the greatest joy in his life.

This pointless behavior also brought an unexpected reward—Li Zhongda actually managed to hook up with a white man online.

Her name is Dai Li, she is only 28 years old this year, and she is quite good-looking with a curvy figure.

She is from Belgi, a member of the Southern Cross Alliance. Her husband was tragically killed in an attack by mutated creatures, and she is currently widowed.

Previously, Bergi was a typical high-income, high-welfare country.

Lee Chung-da looked up to Bergi.

Things are different now. Bergi's economic situation is terrible, and national welfare has been cut drastically.

The more Li Zhongda talked with Dai Li, the more he felt sorry for the Belgi people.

Food security is not guaranteed, safety is not guaranteed, electricity supply is also not guaranteed, and employment and income are even less guaranteed.

Deli said that during the worst period of shortages, she only ate one meal a day.

How can this be considered a developed country?

It's clearly an underdeveloped country!
During their conversation, Daisy repeatedly expressed her envy of Daxia.

Li Zhongda's heart began to stir uncontrollably, and their conversation took an increasingly ambiguous turn.

half year later.

When Li Zhongda was studying abroad, he longed to ride a foreign horse. Twenty years later, at the age of 40, he finally got his wish and rode it.

Deli accepted his invitation and flew from Belgi to Great Xia, staying directly at his house. That very night, the two of them made love passionately.

Another month passed.

The two obtained their marriage certificate together and officially began living together legally.

When Li Zhongda posted his marriage certificate on his WeChat Moments, his ex-wife was very surprised and chatted with him for a while.

He could sense from between the lines that his ex-wife did have some regrets, so he felt extremely pleased.

After getting married, Li Zhongda genuinely felt that Dai Li was much better than his ex-wife.

She is unpretentious and easy to communicate with, does housework very diligently, and is also working hard to learn how to cook Daxia cuisine.

On the other hand, his ex-wife didn't earn much, and she was unwilling to do housework. Even though she was supported by him, she always acted like an independent woman.

Now Li Zhongda has a relaxed job, his wife takes care of all the housework, and he also receives an extra 2000 yuan per month as a foreign family allowance. He couldn't be happier.

by the way.

The so-called "foreign family subsidy" is a special program launched by Daxia for families where one member is a foreign national.

Because foreign nationals do not have national identity cards and are unable to work, their families face a heavy burden, hence the Da Xia introduced this subsidy.

In short, the core objective is singular—to encourage men of the Great Xia Dynasty to marry outside the country.

Because foreign women are required to have three children to obtain citizenship, they are even more motivated to have children.

It didn't take long.

Deli is pregnant with twins, which means her family will receive more subsidies. This Belgi woman is extremely satisfied with her current life.

Li Zhongda had a little trouble because life wasn't so leisurely anymore. In order to take care of his wife, he took the initiative to do a lot of housework.

Fortunately, his son with his ex-wife is in college, and his tuition and living expenses are subsidized by the government, so he doesn't need to worry about it much.

this morning.

After washing the dishes, Li Zhongda complained to his wife, "When the subsidy arrives next month, I'm definitely going to take out a loan to buy a Xuewu housekeeping robot."

Dai Li laughed and said, "Snow Wu is selling so well right now. I heard that the order delivery queue is already six months in advance. Even if you place an order, you'll still have to wait."

Li Zhongda shook his head and said, "It won't take that long. The third phase of the factory is being planned. With the industrial capacity of Great Xia, it will be fully completed and put into operation in at most one month."

"Now that you're pregnant with twins, we can apply for priority delivery for our order, and you can receive Xuewu in a maximum of two months."

Daisy was very surprised: "So fast?"

Li Zhongda nodded and said, "You are not from Daxia, so you don't know much about Daxia's technology. Now, Daxia's factory construction has achieved unmanned intelligent construction."

"The super intelligent AI formulates a detailed construction process based on the design drawings and directs robots and intelligent engineering vehicles throughout the process. Not a single human can be seen on the construction site."

"Humans get tired, they cheat and shirk, and they need to eat, drink and relieve themselves, but robots don't need to at all. They can work around the clock at maximum efficiency."

Li Zhongda concluded, "Completing the factory construction in a month is more than enough; perhaps twenty days will suffice."

Daisy listened with great emotion: "Great Xia is simply like a country that exists in a future world."

The phrase "countries that exist in the future world" is not her original creation, but rather a sentiment expressed by countless foreigners.

Li Zhongda said in a matter-of-fact tone: "Apart from Great Xia, it is impossible for other countries on Canglan Star to complete industrialization."

Daisy chimed in, "I think so too."

Li Zhongda picked up his phone and walked towards the study: "I still have some work to do, I'll go take care of it now."

The community work he was in charge of only required one hour of actual work time each day.

I work from home for half an hour in the morning and half an hour in the afternoon, spending most of my time there, so I have plenty of time to take care of my family.

Daisy took out some fruit from the refrigerator, washed and cut it, served a plate to her husband, and then happily started watching a show on her tablet.

After a while.

A pop-up window suddenly appeared in the lower right corner of the tablet computer.

The text contained the following words: "Eduardo, the leader of the Gameni Federation, quietly left the Federation yesterday and arrived in Atinna Kingdom of South Jingzhou."

"Ten minutes later, Mr. Raven and Eduardo will deliver a major speech to the world, which will completely change the world order."

"Click the link below to watch this speech online. There are also various gifts to be won in the online live stream."

Daisy paused for a moment, then stood up abruptly and strode to the study door.

She pushed the door open and shouted, "Honey, something big is about to happen!"

Li Zhongda nodded and said, "I just saw the news. Go turn on the TV first. I'll come over after I finish what I'm doing."

Daisy said "Oh".

ten minutes later.

The couple sat side by side in front of the television to watch this important program.

The program's opening shot pans across a cluster of Xia-style palaces.

Li Zhongda blurted out: "The Palace of the Twenty-Four Solar Terms".

As Yang Fan gradually took over the reins of power as Mr. Lingya, the Twenty-Four Solar Terms Palace appeared more and more frequently in news programs.

As a result, various reports about this magical palace complex spread more and more widely.

Today, not only the people of Daxia, but the whole world knows that this is a palace complex located in an independent space.

This alone has significantly elevated the national image, or rather, the prestige, of the Great Xia.

After all, besides Great Xia, what other country possesses such a magical place?

not a single one!

soon.

The camera pans through the air, revealing the increasingly beautiful scenery of the palace complex.

Li Zhongda exclaimed, "The background of the palace has changed!"

The Great Xia National Television seemed to know that viewers wanted to see more of the Twenty-Four Solar Terms Palace, so it gave it a rather long shot.

Some time ago, outside the palace complex was a picturesque scene of "a lone plume of smoke rising straight from the desert," which made the whole world remember this ancient poem from the Xia Dynasty.

Things have changed outside the palace.

The boundless desert has vanished, replaced by endless snow-capped mountains, with snowflakes constantly falling from the sky.

The palace complex, its rooftops, and gardens were all covered with a thin layer of snow.

The voice of the TV host came through in a narration style: "Yesterday, the temperature in the Twenty-Four Solar Terms Palace was twenty degrees, which can be considered as spring warmth and blooming flowers."

"Now Mr. Lingya has adjusted the weather on the space island, and the temperature has dropped to minus five degrees Celsius. The snow falling to the ground is all real snowflakes."

Daisy stared at it for a few moments, utterly astonished: "How amazing!"

She then asked, "Honey, how would you describe this scenery in ancient Chinese poetry?"

Li Zhongda was essentially a poor student. After racking his brains for a few seconds, he finally came up with a line of poetry: "Birds have vanished from a thousand mountains, and human tracks have disappeared from ten thousand paths."

Daisy recited the poem several times.

A few more seconds passed.

The camera suddenly shifted, focusing on two figures in the square in front of the palace.

They walked side by side, slowly crossing the square, heading towards the first palace, Lichun Palace.

One of them was none other than the renowned Mr. Lingya.

The other person's appearance was somewhat unfamiliar to the people of Daxia.

However, as a white person, Daly recognized him at a glance: "Federal leader Eduardo, he looks much older."

Li Zhongda felt as if he were witnessing history: "This seems to be the first time since the era of natural disasters that the leaders of the two countries have met."

Daisy hummed in agreement.

The camera then zoomed in, bringing the camera within two meters.

The conversation between the two leaders came through the television speakers.

The first thing the world heard was an explosive news story.

"...I must be the first leader to be declared guilty of treason by the federal high command."

This is Eduardo's voice.

"But I fled the Federation to save hundreds of millions of people enslaved by demons, and I do not believe I betrayed the Federation."

"In fact, quite the opposite is true. The federal leadership is a group of traitors. They have collectively betrayed the Federation, betrayed the beliefs of the pioneers who founded the nation, and abandoned all the civilians of Gameni."

Li Zhongda was shocked.

Daisy was equally stunned.

The Federation leader betrayed his country? Are the Gamenese really this reckless? (End of Chapter)
