"You're stupid! With Da Huang and the others around, there's no doubt the child will have enough nutrition, so of course he'll grow faster."
There was no need for Yang Baiyi to explain, as the other educated youth found a reasonable reason.
After the banquet, the guests were full and said goodbye and left. Yang Baiyi kept the educated youth and asked them to go back tomorrow.
Yang Baiyi asked them to go back to their rooms and rest first. It was better to be cautious about some things. Yang Baiyi didn't want them to make impulsive decisions while they were drunk.
After seeing off the important figures in the main hall, Yang Baiyi and the educated youth gathered in the side hall.
"Everyone, are you all sober now? There is something I want to discuss with you."
Yang Baiyi asked solemnly.
"Bai Yi, just tell us what you want. As long as we can do it, we will do it without hesitation."
Everyone has known each other for many years and knows that once Yang Baiyi looks serious, he must be talking about serious matters.
"You all know that the Celestial Empire has recaptured Annan, right?"
Yang Baiyi took a sip of tea and asked slowly.
"Of course we know about this huge matter. We don't know what Annan is thinking. A tiny country actually dared to challenge the Celestial Empire. Now, it has become a province of the Celestial Empire."
"Annan must have been instigated and funded by other countries; otherwise, he wouldn't have had the courage to do so.
As a result, the heavens could not bear it any longer and sent down meteor fire to punish him for rebelling against the Heavenly Gang. "
"Bai Yi, you're in a better position than us, so you definitely know more than us. Do you think these two meteor showers are new weapons developed by our Celestial Empire?"
"I think so too. There's no such thing as divine punishment. If God really had eyes, our ancestors wouldn't have suffered so much and shed so much blood."
"Nothing in this world is absolute. It's not that I'm superstitious, but I don't believe that China can develop such a powerful weapon, at least not now."
"Yes, I think so too. Haven't you read the analysis in the major media? There were no bombers, no ballistic traces, and it just appeared out of thin air. This type of attack is simply inexplicable by science."
…
If you ask which group cares most about current affairs, the answer is definitely college students.
As soon as Yang Baiyi started talking, they began to discuss it enthusiastically.
"Stop, stop, stop. Don't worry about the meteor fire. This is not the focus of our discussion. What we are discussing today is closely related to everyone's future.
Now that Annan has been recovered, there will definitely be a lot of development going on. It's a time to hire people. After you graduate, are you interested in working in Annan?"
Yang Baiyi wanted to hear everyone's true thoughts, so he did not say at the beginning that Annan was his fiefdom.
silence……
silence……
Yang Baiyi's question was so sudden that it caught everyone off guard.
It is no exaggeration to say that in the late 1970s and early 1980s, every college student was a treasure of the country and had no worries about finding a good job after graduation.
No matter where they are assigned, they will start as middle-level cadres and have a bright future.
The mountains in Annan are high and the roads are long, and there is a language barrier, so there is no need for them to suffer that hardship.
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. I didn't drink with you guys at noon today. Let's get drunk tonight."
Everyone has their own plans, and Yang Baiyi didn't want to embarrass his friends, so he simply stopped talking about it.
"Wait a minute, Comrade Yang Baiyi, after graduation, I would like to work in Annan.
Working in Annan is definitely not as comfortable as working in the mainland, but I know you will never harm us.
If it wasn’t going to be of great benefit to our future, you wouldn’t even mention it.”
The one who spoke was Fan Jian, the one who reported him the first time they met.
Fan Jian's impression of Yang Baiyi changed from jealousy to resentment, from resentment to admiration, and from admiration to worship, so much so that when Yang Baiyi said it casually, he was ready to put aside all his worries and bet his future on Annan.
"You are this!" Han Fei gave Fan Jian a thumbs-up. "After graduation, I will also go to Annan, with Xiaoxue and Lele."
"Captain Han, you're close to Bai Yi, so you must know what's going on. Tell us!"
Although everyone has left Chenjiatun for two years, the way they call Han Fei has not changed.
"You should ask Bai Yi. There are some things I can't explain."
Yang Baiyi had communicated with Han Fei and his wife in advance about everything about Yang Baiyi and asked them to keep it a secret.
Yang Baiyi didn't want to reveal too much, not because he was afraid of getting himself into trouble, but because he was afraid that everyone would be under too much pressure.
If Lele didn't live at home, Han Fei and his wife would come back every weekend, and it would be too difficult to hide it. Yang Baiyi wouldn't even tell them.
"Okay, let's have a frank talk today."
Seeing everyone's eager eyes, Yang Baiyi no longer hid it.
"Annan is my fiefdom, and I will turn it into a prosperous land.
I want to make sure that every person in Annan can speak the Chinese language, write Chinese characters, identify with the Chinese nation from the bottom of their hearts, and be proud to be a Chinese citizen.
In the near future, Annan will build roads and railways directly connected to all parts of the country, and will open air routes to make Annan and the mainland more closely connected."
"Wait a minute, Comrade Baiyi, are you saying that Annan is your fiefdom?"
"Such a major personnel appointment, how come I didn't see it on the news?"
Compared with Yang Baiyi's long speech later, the first sentence is more impactful.
They knew that Yang Baiyi was powerful, but wasn't this too outrageous?
Annan was a country in the past, and its land area was not much smaller than a province in the Celestial Empire.
By this calculation, isn't Yang Baiyi's status much lower than that of the governor?
"That's because I didn't let the media report it. Some things are better left to yourself. There's no need to be so ostentatious."
Yang Baiyi is not alone. He has relatives, a lover, and now two children. He doesn't want to be too prominent so as not to bring danger to his family.
"Comrade Yang Baiyi, tell me the truth, you were the one who created the Meteor Sky Fire, weren't you?"
Yang Baiyi's words were as powerful as a bomb, catching everyone off guard.
Among those who went to the countryside together, Yang Baiyi was the youngest, and he was only 25 years old this year.
Those of them who are a little older have not yet graduated from college, but Yang Baiyi has reached such a high level without realizing it.
"What are you thinking? Do you think I'm a god, or that I can develop weapons that transcend my time? I'm just an ordinary person.
There are some things I cannot say, but it is absolutely true that Annan is my fiefdom."
The meteor shower was too mysterious. Even though his family had some vague guesses, Yang Baiyi had never really confirmed it, let alone among his friends!
"Comrade Yang Baiyi, no, Your Excellency the Governor, I would like to go to Annan to work after graduation."
"I do."
"Follow Comrade Yang Baiyi, and you won't have to worry about not accomplishing something great."
………
Upon learning that Yang Baiyi was the governor of the Annan Protectorate, the group of educated youth no longer had any concerns.
