Chapter 1006 – Before the Troops Move, the Grain Moves

First day of the Chinese New Year, Shanhai City.

Based on the customs, the Imperial Court would hold a large-scale worshiping activity. The scale of this year’s one was even bigger than the last, as this was their first ceremony since establishing the country.

Last year, it was based on the customs of a marquis, while this year it was based on that of a king.

The only difference was that apart from worshiping the Yellow Emperor and Yu the Great, he also had to pray in the ancestor temple. Before the New Year, when he decided to accept his family, Ouyang Shuo built a huge temple in the imperial city to worship his Ouyang family ancestors.

This ancestral temple could be said to be the last ring in the completion of the dynasty.

In the eyes of the people, the worshipping venue was huge and boisterous. However, in Ouyang Shuo’s heart, this was something that he was already used to.

…

In the next few days, Ouyang Shuo would be busy attending various kinds of feasts.

On the second day of the Chinese New Year, Ouyang Shuo held a feast in the palace to receive Bai Hua, Mulan Yue, Gong Chengshi, Wufu, West Gate Big Official, and other player officials to strengthen their friendship.

Till this date, they had become a new source of strength in the official circle. Ouyang Shuo did not want to grow apart from them because of time or space.

Especially these few Provincial Governors, who had done so much for the dynasty.

Third day of Chinese New Year, Ouyang Shuo held a feast for the generals in the Guards Legion Corps camp, Baiqi, Han Xin, Sun Bin, Huo Qubing, Li Mu, Shi Wanshui, and the other marshals all came.

This was a chance for the generals to get familiar with one another. Especially generals like Li Mu, who had just joined the army recently.

After the end of the holiday, Ouyang Shuo would discuss with them the specific battle plans for attacking Annan.

On the fourth day, Ouyang Shuo held a feast in Xinan University, meeting the professors and exceptional students today, showing his focus on education matters.

That night, Ouyang Shuo also met with the various envoys of different countries who had moved into Shanhai City.

Gaia 5th year, 2nd month, 23rd day, fifth day of the Chinese New Year, the Imperial Court holiday was over.

The first day was the imperial assembly.

The symbolic meaning of this assembly was far greater than its practical meaning.

Jiang Shang as the Grand Secretary represented the civil servants to summarize the achievements of the past year, the plans for the 5th year, and the outlook for the year.
