An old man said very excitedly and proudly.

The old people around him also nodded. At this moment, they were also proud that their hometown could produce such a capable person like Liu Jin. This was definitely something to be proud of and something worth bragging about.

"My dear, I didn't expect that such a big shot would come out of our Xiahe Town!"

When the young man heard this, he couldn't help but marvel.

The first-rank official position, the chief minister of the cabinet, the Duke of Liao, and hereditary succession are all enough to become a highlight of a place, and now they are all the same person.

"But why haven't you heard of their family? I've also never seen their family."

"I see that the mansion is indeed very big and grand, but there doesn't seem to be many people there."

"This is just the hometown of the Liu family. Very few people come here. Only during the Qingming Festival every year, the children of the Liu family will come back here for a while, sweep the tombs and pay homage to their ancestors, and then leave."

"Their children have already spread all over the world. Some of them are here in the capital. The most important one is the Duke of Liao in the capital."

"In addition, the Governor of South Africa Liu Da is Liu Jin's son, and the Governor of Ceylon is also Liu Jin's son. Liu Jin's son is also in charge of the largest oil company, gold and silver mines in Golden Continent."

"The descendants of the Liu family are all very promising. We can't keep them here in Xiahe Town."

"Yes, yes, during the Qingming Festival this year, I even saw Liu Jin's eldest son Liu Xin come back to worship his ancestors. He was quite polite to us fellow villagers."

"There are so many descendants of the Liu family, and they are all very capable. They are distributed all over the world, and they are giants in various fields. I heard that the big business houses, factories, etc. in our Ming Dynasty all belong to the Liu family."

"Such as the First Bank of the Ming Dynasty, Mercedes-Benz Automobile, Tianjin Trading Company, Daming Petroleum Company, Daming Electric Company, etc., these are all the Liu family's industries."

"Oh my God, these are all the properties of their Liu family?"

"If any one of them comes out, it will be an extremely huge behemoth."

When some people heard this, they couldn't help but exclaimed. These world-famous large trading houses and large factories are behemoths all over the world. They didn't expect that they were the Liu family's industry.

"These are just some of them. The large and small schools here in the capital, such as the Ming Imperial Institute of Technology, the Ming Medical College, the Ming Architecture Institute, the Tianjin Maritime Institute, etc., are also the Liu family's industries. They were all created by Liu Gong.

Founded.”

"In addition, in these overseas colonies, such as the South African Colony, the Western United Trading Company, etc., Liu Jin is the major shareholder. The Liu family's wealth is simply difficult to calculate and count. It is so huge that it is beyond imagination."

The old man next to him smiled and continued, if it were really necessary to count the Liu family's property, it would be difficult to count it. What everyone is talking about is only a part of it.

"I didn't expect that our Xiahe Town would have such a big shot and a big family!"

The young people sighed and couldn't believe that such a big family and big shot came out of this small town of Xiahe.

"Then is Mr. Liu no longer alive?"

After thinking about it, the young man also asked.

"Here he is, he's still here."

"After all, he is now over eighty years old. I heard that he has been retiring here in Nanyun Province. He has not returned to our Xiahe Town for many years."

"Yes, he is okay. When his son came back to visit his grave, I asked about him and heard that he was in very good health."

"You may not believe it when I tell you, but I went to the beach with Liu Jin when I was a child."

At this time, an old man in his eighties recalled what happened decades ago.

"real or fake?"

Someone asked immediately.

"Of course it's true. At that time, our Xiahe Town was not called Xiahe Town, but Xiahe Tun. The village was just that big and there were not many people. Liu Jin and I were about the same age."

"At that time, he had been studying since he was a child, and I had been working since he was a child. When I had free time, I would go see what books he was reading, and when I had free time, we would go to the beach to play together."

"At that time, how could I have imagined that all this would happen now? Alas, my relationship with Liu Jin was just average, and the relationship between the Zhao Heishan family and the Liu Jin family was very good, so the old Zhao family has become more prosperous now, and the children of the family have also become more prosperous.

They are all over the world, each one more promising than the other."

"Speaking of which, I met him decades ago. He seemed to have returned to his hometown to observe filial piety and lived here for three years."

"What does he look like?"

"Of course there's nothing to say about his appearance. He's extraordinarily handsome. He was the star of Wen Qu. In the twelfth year of Hongzhi's reign, he was the number one scholar!"

"He's still the top pick!"

"you do not say!"

"He is the only number one scholar here so far. Therefore, the children at home should study more so that they can truly be successful. No matter how much money they make, they are nothing more than a boss and a businessman.

Can be compared with Liu Gong."

"Yes, yes, I still need to read more."

"I don't know how Liu Jin is doing now. He is over eighty years old. He is probably just an old man. I guess I might not recognize him in front of me."

"..."

Liu Jin also smiled slightly as he listened to them talking about him.

He has already become a legend in Xiahe Town and even Changli County, and countless people are talking about him.

Liu Jin returned to Xiahe Town without telling anyone and came back quietly. But soon, everyone gradually knew that Liu Jin was back and came back to Xiahe Town.

Many elderly people would also come to Liu Jin to chat and visit Liu Jin. However, because of the huge identity gap between the two parties, they would only meet once and not have much contact with each other.

Because of Liu Jin's return, Xiahe Town can often see some big shots coming to Xiahe Town. It is very convenient to come from the Beijing-Tianjin area.

At the same time, we can also see the descendants of the Liu family coming back from overseas to visit Liu Jin, especially during the holidays. The Liu Mansion, which has been deserted for decades, also becomes lively. A large number of descendants of the Liu family return to the ancestral home of the Liu family.

I’m here to spend the New Year with Liu Jin and so on.

The story about Liu Jin is also mentioned over and over again here. Those old people who were the same generation as Liu Jin are even more excited to talk about Liu Jin to the people around them.

Time passes slowly, day after day, year after year.

On this day, Liu Jin was lying on his master's chair, reading a book and looking at Xiahe Town and Bohai Bay in front of him.

The whole person looked at it, and was lost in the lake. It seemed that a long time had passed, and it seemed that he had had a dream, a long, long dream.

Familiar figures and people from the past seemed to appear around him all of a sudden. Emperor Hongzhi, Emperor Zhengde, Zhang Mao, Li Dongyang, Wang Shouren, etc., as well as his wife Xu Waner, Li Zhen and others, seemed to appear all of a sudden.

They all came to their side.

Their figures were so familiar and their voices were so clear, it seemed as if everything happened just yesterday.

The book slowly fell from Liu Jin's hands to the ground.

.....

The news of Liu Jin's death soon spread to the capital and all over the world. For a while, all the descendants of the Liu family were wearing mourning and weeping.

At the same time, the Ming Dynasty, which was in a precarious situation, also expressed its deep condolences for Liu Jin's death as soon as possible.

The Emperor of the Ming Dynasty also launched a vigorous pursuit of Liu Jin, and named Liu Jin the King of Zhenhai of the Ming Dynasty!

As for why he was granted the title of King of Zhenhai, this point has puzzled historians of later generations, because although the Ming Dynasty did not have the practice of granting the title of king during his lifetime, the title of king after his death was also the King of Zhongshan, not the King of Zhenhai.

.

Of course, none of this is important anymore. In addition to being posthumously named King of Zhenhai, Liu Jin was also given the posthumous title of "Wenzheng". At the same time, he was also granted a title to several of the Liu family's children and ordered the entire Ming Dynasty to mourn for a day.

Such an honor is extremely glorious!

The story of an era also ended with this!

ps: Brothers, I have finished the book. Calculating the time, it took almost more than three years to write. I am very grateful to everyone for your companionship and support along the way. Because of your support, I was able to write the book until now.

This book, King of Ming Zhenhai, is the first historical novel I wrote. It was very stumbling at the beginning, and I didn’t understand a lot of it. But because of your encouragement and support, I was able to keep writing.
