Reborn as a Sea King in Tokyo Fishing Village

Chapter 170 A New Life
After Ji Chang became mayor, he began preparing for the presidential campaign.

This was his first time involved in this matter and he had no experience.

But he has other experiences and a strong team to support him.

With continuous planning, Ji Chang successfully ascended to a high position and became the President of the Philippines.

After so many reincarnations, Ji Chang once again became the number one figure in a country.

All of this was very new to him.

For the first time, he tasted power and experienced what it felt like to be supreme.

The Philippines is a pirate country and is relatively closed.

After becoming the President of the Philippines, Ji Chang began to reform the country's politics, economy and diplomacy. He knew that as a leader of a country, he had a great responsibility and needed to work for the well-being of the country and the people.

In order to break the country's closed state, he adopted a series of open policies to attract foreign investment and promote economic development. At the same time, he was also committed to improving domestic infrastructure and improving people's living standards.

In terms of diplomacy, Ji often worked hard to improve relations with other countries and actively participated in international affairs.

He understands that only by integrating into the international community can the Philippines play a greater role on the international stage.

Under his leadership, the Philippines gradually got rid of its image as a pirate country and its international status was enhanced.

However, the reform was not smooth sailing. In the process of promoting the reform, Ji Chang encountered resistance from conservatives. They were worried that the reform would weaken their interests, so they tried to obstruct Ji Chang's reform measures.

In order to overcome these difficulties, Ji Chang gave full play to his wisdom and experience, adopted various means to resolve contradictions and promote the smooth progress of reform.

In terms of domestic policies, Ji often pays attention to people's livelihood issues and strives to solve problems such as the gap between the rich and the poor, education, and medical care. He knows that only when people live a better life can the country be truly strong.

Thanks to his efforts, the living standards of the Filipino people have improved year by year, and the country has gradually become prosperous.

Under Ji Chang's leadership, the Philippines has undergone tremendous changes.

The country is politically stable, economically prosperous, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. Ji Chang has also won praise from domestic and international media for his outstanding contributions.

He knows very well that as a leader of a country, he still has a long way to go and needs to continue learning and improving to create a better future for the country and its people.

In this process, Ji Chang also experienced the hardships of power.

In order to maintain his long-term rule, Ji Chang began to target those families, eliminate their forces, and strengthen the military force in his hands.

He wants a stable country and an environment where he can realize his ambitions in the long term.

He has figured it out. Every reincarnation means he experiences a different life.

In this way, things will become more and more perfect.

Before we knew it, it was already 2024.

Ji Chang no longer struggles now. Before the cycle of reincarnation restarts, he returns to China.

This is his hometown. In his next reincarnation, he wants to be an ordinary person.

Get a wife and live an ordinary life.

In the island country, in Hong Kong Island, and in the Philippines, his life can be said to be full of excitement, and he has experienced all kinds of carefree days.

But he hasn't had a peaceful and happy life yet, so he wants to experience it in this reincarnation.

It doesn't take a lot of money, nor does it require much power.

Just marry a virtuous wife, have children with her, and experience some ordinary and happy days.

He chose a quiet town, far away from the hustle and bustle of the city, with fresh air and simple folk customs.

In the small town, Ji Chang made many neighbors and friends.

He waited for the time to come and start over.

Finally, the time has come.

He was the same as before, gloomy and silent.

When he woke up again, Ji Chang found himself in a farmland.

Standing up, Ji Chang began to look around, but didn't see anyone.

So he immediately checked his storage space and found that everything was there, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

He was wearing an olive green military uniform, a very common type of clothing in that era, and also one that could easily win other people's favor.

Ji Chang did some research before choosing this place.

After all, he needed a legal identity.

After checking his condition and making sure there was no problem, Ji Chang started looking for someone.

Finally, he found an old farmer.

"Uncle, is this Taohua Village?" Ji Chang asked curiously.

"Yes, young man, who are you looking for?" The old man looked at Ji Chang and asked.

"Uncle, do you still remember the Ji family who moved away more than ten years ago?" Ji Chang asked directly.

"Remember, Ji Liang's family lived next door to me." The old man looked at Ji Chang, feeling a little confused.

"I am Ji Liang's son, my name is Ji Chang. Do you still remember me?" Ji Chang asked directly.

Meng Chao spent a lot of time looking for this member of the Ji family.

"That's not right. Aren't you Ji Ming? How come you became Ji Chang? Are you this old now?"

"You don't look like your father at all. Where did your family go? Didn't you say you were going to live with relatives?" The old man frowned, seeming unconvinced.

"Yes, yes, yes, it was my father who changed my name. Yes, I went to live with my second uncle, but my parents passed away due to poor health, so I wanted to come back and visit them." Ji Chang, who had changed his name to Ji Chang, explained.

In fact, Ji Liang and his family did not find refuge successfully at all. Instead, they were killed shortly after leaving the village.

The truth was not revealed until the bodies were exhumed in 2021 and their identification documents were found.

The documents were well preserved, which gave us the opportunity to expose this matter.

That's why he chose this place.

"Ah, your parents are gone?" The old man was obviously shocked.

"Yes, is my old house still there?" Ji Chang asked directly. After all, he needed an identity and a home to come back.

It was 1950, and many things had not yet been set in stone, and it was still difficult for him to register his identity.

"It's still there, but it's about to collapse. You have to repair it before people can live in it." The old man said directly.

"Great, thank you, Uncle Zhang." Ji Chang directly gave the other party a surname. "Hey, do you still remember my surname?" Uncle Zhang couldn't help but be surprised, and believed Ji Chang's statement a little more.

Uncle Zhang smiled, and was obviously satisfied with Ji Chang's address. He patted Ji Chang on the shoulder and said, "Young man, since you are back, come to my house first. I will make you something to eat and tell you about the changes in the village over the years."

Ji Chang nodded and followed Uncle Zhang back to his home. Uncle Zhang's home was simple but neatly kept. There were some vegetables and flowers planted in the yard, which looked full of vitality.

"Come, drink some water first. I'll get you something to eat." Uncle Zhang entertained Ji Chang warmly.

Ji Chang sat on a wooden chair in the yard, looking around and feeling the tranquility of this small village. He knew that this would be the starting point of his new life and the place where he could experience ordinary life.

Soon, Uncle Zhang brought a bowl of steaming hot noodles, topped with a few slices of home-grown vegetables and some shredded pork. Ji Chang took the bowl, looked at Uncle Zhang gratefully, and then started eating with big mouthfuls.

"Eat slowly, don't choke." Uncle Zhang looked at Ji Chang with a smile, his eyes full of kindness.

After dinner, Ji Chang talked with Uncle Zhang about the things in the village. He learned that the village has not changed much over the years, but people's lives have gradually improved, especially after the founding of New China, the lives of the villagers have improved greatly.

"Uncle Zhang, I want to renovate my old house. Can you help me find some people?" Ji Chang asked.

"No problem. People in the village are very enthusiastic. I'll ask for you." Uncle Zhang agreed readily.

When Ji Chang came, he had already prepared the first set of banknotes in his storage space, totaling more than 100,000.

Of course, he didn't intend to abuse it.

After all, this money comes from the future, so try not to use it if you can.

Ji Chang's heart was full of anticipation for a new life.

He knew that renovating the old house was not only about rebuilding a residence, but also the beginning of taking root in this land.

With the introduction of Uncle Zhang, Ji Chang quickly found several villagers to help repair the house.

The repair work began. Ji Chang and the villagers worked together to clear the weeds, move the rubble, and reinforce the walls. They repaired the roof with wood and mud, and whitewashed the walls with lime and straw.

Although Ji Chang is not a professional craftsman, his diligence and enthusiasm won the admiration of the villagers.

During the renovation process, Ji Chang met several villagers, each of whom had different skills and stories. Some were good at carpentry, some were proficient in masonry, and some were familiar with local plants and medicinal herbs.

Ji Chang studied with an open mind and not only learned the techniques of repairing houses, but also learned many mysteries about the land and nature.

Among them, there was a villager named Li Tie, who was a carpenter with superb craftsmanship. He taught Ji Chang how to use a saw and a hammer and how to process wood into the required shape.

There was also a villager named Aunt Zhao, who was an enthusiastic farmer and taught Ji Chang how to grow vegetables and care for poultry.

As time went by, Ji Chang's old house was renovated. It was no longer the dilapidated house that was about to collapse, but a warm and comfortable home.

Ji Chang stood in front of the renovated house, his heart filled with a sense of accomplishment and pride.

After the repairs were completed, Ji Chang decided to hold a simple celebration and invited all the villagers who had helped him. He used the ingredients he brought with him to make some simple but delicious dishes and shared them with the villagers.

In this way, he was integrated into Taohua Village and everyone accepted his identity.

During this period, Ji Chang found the bodies of Meng Liang's family and their identity information.

The body was in a crypt, so the materials were preserved.

Ji Chang put the bones into his storage space, preparing to find a suitable place to bury them later.

With the information, Ji Chang went to the local town to successfully get the certificate and then applied for a new household registration booklet.

I don’t have a personal ID card yet, only a household registration booklet.

Only with the household registration booklet can Ji Chang be considered a formal lover.

With the completion of the household registration, Ji Chang's identity was officially recognized in Taohua Village. This not only made him feel at ease, but also laid a solid foundation for his future life.

He began to get to know the village better and the people who lived there.

In the following days, Ji Chang continued to work with the villagers. He participated in spring ploughing and learned how to grow suitable crops according to different soil and climatic conditions.

With the help of Li Tie, Ji Chang also began to try to make some simple furniture, adding a bit of warmth to his home.

Aunt Zhao taught Ji Chang many life tips, such as how to use local herbs to treat common ailments and how to make cleaning agents using natural ingredients.

These life skills make Ji Chang feel more closely connected to the land.

However, he never met the perfect match he wanted.

The women in Taohua Village are not very pretty, so Meng Chao has never met the right one.

It is not yet the era of the big pot, and things are still relatively free.

Meng Chao managed to get a hunting rifle and prepared to start his hunting career.

However, the villagers knew that he wanted to hunt, so they prepared to introduce him to a master.

Under the arrangement of Uncle Zhang, Ji Chang came to a hunter's home in the neighboring Luojia Village with a gun on his back.

This hunter is also a veteran and has two daughters who have just reached adulthood.

After arriving at the Luo family, Ji Chang saw Luo Juan and Luo Shan, and was immediately attracted to them.

Of course, he did not forget what he came here for.

"Uncle Zhang, why are you here?" A sturdy man walked out, exuding a strong aura.

This man, named Luo Qiang, was a well-known hunter in the area, an absolute hero, and had many apprentices.

"I brought a kid here to ask you to be my apprentice. I want to learn hunting from you." Uncle Zhang directly stated his purpose.

Luo Qiang looked at Ji Chang, his eyes revealing a bit of scrutiny. He could see that Ji Chang had a different temperament from ordinary people, but at the same time he could also feel his sincerity.

"Learning to hunt is hard work. Have you thought it through?" Luo Qiang asked, his voice a little hoarse, the result of years of shouting in the mountains.

Ji Chang nodded firmly, "I've thought about it. I'm not afraid of hard work."

Luo Qiang smiled when he saw this. He liked determined young people. "Well, from today on, you are my apprentice. But I need to see your foundation first."

In the following days, Luo Qiang began to teach Ji Chang the basic skills of hunting, from how to track animal footprints, to how to set traps, and to how to use a shotgun.

Ji Chang studied very hard, as he knew these skills would be very important to his life in Taohua Village.

In addition, he still wanted to win the favor of the Luo sisters.

No matter what, I just want to live a simple and good life in this life.

This pair of sisters both look very well-behaved and sensible, and you can live an ideal life by marrying either one of them.

However, it also depends on which sister is willing to like me and marry me.
