269: Chapter 269 Ji, you're so beautiful!

"His Majesty the Head of State."

After learning that Zhao Fusu had returned, Zi Ying came to pay his respects.

"Zi Ying."

Upon seeing Zi Ying, Zhao Fusu asked him, "How is the differentiation of household registrations Inside the Pass going?"

Zi Ying respectfully said to Zhao Fusu, "Following Your Majesty the Paramount Leader's instructions, I have divided the household registrations Inside the Pass into agricultural and non-agricultural. By strictly controlling population movement, I have restricted the migration of the rural population to various commanderies and counties."

"Mhm."

Zhao Fusu nodded.

He believed that Zi Ying could handle this matter well.

Back then, Liu Bang had wanted to make Zi Ying the Prime Minister; his talent was beyond doubt.

Therefore, Zhao Fusu patted Zi Ying on the shoulder and said to him, "Zi Ying, besides the household registration division Inside the Pass, I also want to promote it nationwide."

"I will leave this matter to you."

"Understood!"

Zi Ying did not decline.

His Majesty the Head of State thought highly of him to entrust him with such an important task.

The Boxing Kings from various war zones, along with their relatives and support groups, arrived at the pass one after another.

After learning the purpose of their visit, the soldiers guarding the pass arranged for people to lead them to Chang'an City.

Xiang Yu, Xiang Liang, Fan Zeng, and their group arrived at Wu Pass.

In the group were also Yu Ziqi and Yu Ji.

After Xiang Yu successfully won the title of Hegemon-King of West Chu, Yu Ziqi introduced his younger sister, Yu Ji, to Xiang Yu.

Upon seeing Yu Ji's beauty, Xiang Yu was rooted to the spot.

"Beautiful!"

"Ji, you are too beautiful!"

Xiang Yu was lost in Yu Ji's beauty.

There was no such thing as love at first sight; it was merely lust at first glance.

For a high-quality male like Xiang Yu, Yu Ji had long since given him her heart in secret. Seeing that Xiang Yu also liked her, Yu Ji was naturally filled with joy.

Seeing a chance to become Xiang Yu's brother-in-law, Yu Ziqi struck while the iron was hot, "How about Brother Xiang and my sister get betrothed?"

Xiang Yu rubbed the back of his head and said, "I am willing, but I don't know if Miss Yu Ji is."

"Little sister, what is your wish?"

Yu Ziqi looked at Yu Ji with expectation.

Yu Ji immediately said shyly, "An elder brother is like a father; I will follow your lead, brother."

Thus, with Yu Ziqi's matchmaking, Xiang Yu and Yu Ji were betrothed.

This time, Xiang Yu was coming to Xianyang to participate in the King of Fighters Championship, so Yu Ziqi and Yu Ji naturally followed to cheer for him.

"So it is the Hegemon-King of West Chu!"

After seeing Xiang Yu's travel permit, the soldier guarding the pass respectfully cupped his fists and bowed, "Greetings, Hegemon-King of West Chu."

Seeing a group of Qin soldiers shouting 'Hegemon-King of West Chu' at him in unison, Xiang Yu's vanity swelled.

Especially since the Qin soldiers called him Hegemon-King of West Chu in front of his uncle and Prime Minister Father, it satisfied his vanity even more.

He couldn't help but lift his chin and glance at his uncle.

From childhood to adulthood, he had grown up under Xiang Liang's suppressive education.

Deep down, Xiang Yu was actually insecure; he always wanted to achieve something great so his uncle would look up to him.

Now that a large number of Qin soldiers were bowing respectfully to him, he wanted to see if his uncle, that old geezer, would continue to suppress him.

Xiang Liang frowned slightly; Xiang Yu's obsession with boxing was not a good thing.

Spending day and night with Xiang Yu, he saw that Xiang Yu had tossed aside all military books and strategies. He spent all day sparring with Yu Ziqi, making him his training partner.

Xiang Yu had declared many times that he would definitely win the title of Great Qin's King of Fighters.

Just by becoming a Boxing King, he already had so many admirers, and the endorsement fees he received made his hands weak from counting.

If he really won the title of Great Qin's King of Fighters, what a sight that would be.

He would appear in the newspapers again, and his name would spread throughout Great Qin.

Just thinking about it was incredibly exciting.

The more Xiang Liang saw Xiang Yu chasing the title of King of Fighters, the more he worried about him.

If Xiang Yu became hopelessly immersed in the empty fame of being the King of Fighters, how could they ever overthrow Great Qin!

"Brother Fan..."

Xiang Liang couldn't help but look at Fan Zeng.

His desire to rebel against Qin was largely instigated by Fan Zeng.

Fan Zeng, that old geezer, didn't think about farming in his daily life; he only wanted to be like Jiang Ziya, finding his own King Wu of Zhou in his seventies and leaving behind a name that would last through the ages.

If anyone was the most anxious, it had to be Fan Zeng.

Indeed, Fan Zeng was in deep thought, and he also felt that Xiang Yu and Yu Ziqi's sparring was inappropriate.

Fortunately, he was prepared. He said to Xiang Liang, "Brother Xiang, you needn't worry. I have my own plans."

"I will find a specific time to speak with Yuer."

"Good!"

Hearing Fan Zeng say he had a way to keep Xiang Yu from getting lost in the pursuit of becoming the King of Fighters, Xiang Liang breathed a sigh of relief.

"Hegemon-King."

The general guarding the pass said, "His Majesty the Head of State has prepared accommodations for the Hegemon-King in Chang'an City. I will have soldiers lead the way."

"Chang'an City!"

Xiang Liang and Fan Zeng were both slightly startled. They had been in Xianyang for so long and had only heard of Changan Township; when did a Chang'an City appear?

In the six months since they left Xianyang, had Changan Township been upgraded to Chang'an City?

"Thank you, General."

Xiang Yu was quite polite to this general guarding the pass.

"The Hegemon-King is too kind."

The general guarding the pass cupped his fists.

Thus, led by the soldiers of Wu Pass, Xiang Yu and his group headed for Chang'an City.

Although the Industrial Zone also belonged to Chang'an City, it was a certain distance away from the boxing gym and the food street.

After all, the Industrial Zone was a gathering place for various heavy industry factories and munitions factories, so naturally, it couldn't be located in a busy area.

Tons and tons of urine being dried—the stench was overwhelming. If it were set up next to a food street, it would be a miracle if the food street still had any business.

In the main urban area, Zhao Fusu planned to arrange some light industries: spinning mills, weaving mills, dyeing mills, garment factories, shoe factories, etc.

The soldiers of Wu Pass first took Xiang Yu to the boxing gym.

"This, this, this!"

When Xiang Yu, Xiang Liang, Fan Zeng, Yu Ziqi, and Yu Ji saw the boxing gym with its square shape, an exterior featuring a large amount of new metal materials, and large areas of transparent glass, they were so shocked their mouths hung open.

In all their travels across the land, they had never seen such an architectural style.

While feeling curious, they were also deeply shaken.

The design drawings for the boxing gym were obtained by Zhao Fusu through a check-in.

He had even obtained a model of the boxing gym through a check-in.

After learning that cement could be used to build houses, the Gongshu Family had always wanted to build houses with cement.

Zhao Fusu gave the task of building the boxing gym to the Gongshu Family.

Several elders of the Gongshu Family, holding the design drawings for the boxing gym, happily rushed to Chang'an and commanded tens of thousands of farmers to build this modern-style boxing gym.
