my wife is a consul

Chapter 207
The parliamentary day on the 30th was calm, and the proposal to abolish the "Act on Temporary Freezing of Rental Prices of Ordinary Residential Housing" was proposed by members of the parliament. Therefore, the whole-day meeting turned into a friendly consultation meeting, discussing and speaking on some hot issues , and some congressmen delivered passionate speeches.

There was nothing to do at three o'clock in the afternoon, and the speaker announced the adjournment.

Lu Ming left quickly because an unexpected person came to see him.

……

The Guanhe Pavilion of Wolong Xiaoguan is a tea house like a riverside painting. At this time, in a pavilion on the second floor, from the red window sill, the clear river water is already a little green, and it is the little lotus that is showing its sharpness. corner time.

A thin old man sat across from Lu Ming. At this time, he was slightly taken aback when he heard Lu Ming praise "Little He just showed her sharp corners". The talents of our party!"

This thin old man, Fang Shouwang, is the whip of the Grand Duke's party, the whip of the entire Grand Duke's party in the empire.

At the same time, he is also the leader of the Donghai Party Headquarters of the Dagong Party.

The Donghai Party Headquarters, including the Donghai Region, is a party branch in a large region, six states, and one province, all of which are under the leadership of the Donghai Party Headquarters.

In terms of the empire-wide sequence, the Grand Duke Party is the third-ranked party in the opposition coalition.

Among the parties in the entire empire, it occupies the seat of the Federal Imperial Council and the Lower House of the Kingdom of Griffin, ranking fifth.

There has also been a glorious period of alliance with other parties to govern jointly.

Even if it is in opposition now, it is a force that no super-big party dare to underestimate.

Fang Shouwang, Fang Lao, ranked third in the party's rank.

He is also one of the five members of the Donghai Municipal Committee, and the Minister of Energy of the Shadow Cabinet of the House of Commons of the Kingdom of Griffin.

From any point of view, Fang Lao can be regarded as a political figure at the imperial level, and he has already touched the threshold of the top political circle of the empire, but he is still a layer of window paper.

After all, he has never really entered the royal cabinet and became a cabinet minister.

The so-called shadow cabinet is a preparatory cabinet team set up by the opposition alliance to come to power, and it is usually used to sing against the real cabinet.

Lu Ming didn't know why he would meet him, and why he came to Wolong Restaurant in person.

At this time, he casually transformed it into a poem in Zhongzhou language with a more appropriate context, but Mr. Fang was amazed when he heard it.

But seeing Fang Lao pointing to the silver belt like Crouching Dragon River, he said with a smile: "Qianxing, the river view is very beautiful, how about we each write a poem? I want ancient rhyme poems."

Lu Ming spread his hands: "Mr. Fang, I really don't know how to do this. I just read it casually, and it was also done by a good friend of mine."

Elder Fang obviously didn't expect Lu Ming to answer like this, and smiled slightly: "You don't want to deal with me, old man, do you?"

In fact, in Lu Ming's heart, he really didn't want to waste this time, otherwise, how difficult would it be to slightly transform those famous stories from his previous life?

"Well, today's young people must pay attention to efficiency in everything they do. We old men are all vegetarians, outdated, outdated, and unable to keep up with the development of the times. My grandson asked me, do you know what science fiction is? Do you know the possible forms of aliens? It’s a movie called Lost in Space, which inspires imagination.”

Fang Lao said with a sigh: "Now, it's really an era of information explosion!"

Looking at Lu Ming: "So, I am really happy that a young man like you has appeared in our party. I have always wanted to wait for the leader of your branch to confirm that it is you, and then I will meet you. Who knows, This branch of yours, you can’t go back if it’s clear, right? He should have a good life, and you should let him rest assured.”

The Qing Dynasty retired, and should have resigned as the party leader.

But I don't want to, this year's municipal committee, two people from our party, Lu Ming and Dong Wenquan.

The party leader should have been a municipal committee member of the party. Historically, the Beiguan branch of the Dagong Party has never had two municipal committee members.

This led to different opinions within the party. Although the voices supporting Lu Ming's appointment as party leader were louder, there were also voices supporting Dong Wenquan, who believed that the 19-year-old party leader was too childish.

In this way, in order to avoid splits within the party, the Qing Lao had no choice but to continue to take the helm, and wait for the right opportunity to determine the successor.

"Qing Lao has an old brother, and he came to me to say that you are too young." Fang Lao said intentionally or unintentionally, looking out the window, as if attracted by the beautiful scenery.

Lu Ming smiled, knowing that he thought he was young, and didn't understand why the voices in the party supporting Dong Wenquan suddenly became louder.

However, I also understand Qing Lao. For an aging high-ranking and powerful person, everything else is fine, and he may be very open-minded, but decentralization?It should be the most difficult pass.

With the appearance of two municipal committee members in the party, the Qing Dynasty suddenly realized that he could take advantage of this and remain in the party leader's position.

Originally, he had already been neglected before the general election, which may have made him extremely unbalanced, so he was even more nostalgic for the power in his hand.

But now, taking advantage of the dispute over the heir to the party leader, the two factions of himself and Dong Wenquan will win his support, which will allow him to continue to enjoy the glory of the past.

How could I not know these things?Even Ninth Sister-in-Law mentioned it to herself cryptically.

Glancing at Old Fang, Lu Ming smiled and said, "I'm indeed too young. I think we can't do without Mr. Qing for the time being. I have a bottom line in my heart that Mr. Qing will be at the helm."

Fang Shouwang took a deep look at Lu Ming and nodded: "It seems that you are very open-minded, good! A talent is a talent!"

The tone of this compliment is completely different from the previous polite words.

He smiled again: "It's not your turn to be the youngest mayor. Ten years ago, there was a 17-year-old mayor, right?"

Lu Ming smiled: "Yes." However, that's just a small town with a few thousand people, but it can be divided into administrative districts, it is a town directly under the prefecture, and it is at the same level as Beiguan, and that kid worked for one term , was selected.

This world is different from my homeland in the previous life, and more like the West at the same time. A city like Beiguan with tens of thousands of people is a big city in any state.

Old Fang nodded: "So, what's the problem with age? Don't blame my grandson for saying that we are all old antiques. I think there are many old antiques like this in the party."

It was inconvenient for Lu Ming to answer the conversation, so he picked up the teacup and sipped tea.

"Okay, let's not talk about this! I see you, there is something else I need Qianxing to help you." Fang Lao smiled, "Lao Wang, who recommended you to Mantangmei, is my former friend. We also have 30 I haven't seen each other for many years. I suddenly called me yesterday and asked me for help to be his lobbyist, haha! This guy always looked down on us who engage in politics and often scolded us. Politicians are not human. Now, he is begging on me Haha, haha!" He laughed happily, obviously, this old friend bowed his head to him, which made him feel very comfortable.

Lu Ming was stunned, Mantangmei was Li Yumei's stage name.

"Of course, depending on the situation, Anton is not a good place. It's better not to go if you can." Said, Fang Lao shook his head.

Several provinces such as Anton are provinces directly under the Kingdom, and the governor-general is directly appointed by the cabinet, which is commonly known as a high-ranking official.

Senior officials not only directly appoint the administrative officials of the three departments and eight bureaus, but also directly appoint members of the two houses of the Executive Yuan and the Legislative Yuan.

Similar to my previous life, the governor of Hong Kong before the reunification.

Although the tenure of these senior officials is very short, and the longest will not exceed ten years, but during their tenure, they are the real emperors.

As the isolation zone and buffer zone that used to guard against the four provinces of the Northern Territory, it is possible that high-level figures in the empire believed at that time that only the mobilization force of the dictatorship could fight against the dictatorship.

Therefore, the strange system of the five provinces in the south of the Yangtze River was formed.

Basically, the five provinces in the south of the Yangtze River should be the areas that the empire once really regarded as colonies, and they have never been a fiefdom of a grand duke, let alone a grand duchy.

The investment in education and so on for hundreds of years is much worse than that of the "local" empire.

The five provinces in the south of the Yangtze River are also the poorest areas in the Kingdom of Gryffinni except for a few areas in the west.

However, compared with the four northern provinces, the five southern provinces are much more comfortable, and the income of the people is slightly higher.

After all, the four provinces of the Northern Territory are constantly fighting, the banner of the king changes on the top of the city, and there are many warlords, big and small.

But for the people of the East China Sea, the five provinces in the south of the Yangtze River are already daunting, poor and ignorant places.

Therefore, although Mr. Fang made a request to mention his old friend, it is obviously not a lie to let Lu Ming consider it. After all, although Lu Ming is young, he is also one of the influential figures gradually emerging in the East China Sea. There are many things to do. It's better to be more cautious when filing an unknown lawsuit in a place where the bird doesn't shit.

Lu Ming pondered, and said, "Well, I've thought about it, but it will take a few days. Tomorrow, there will be a military court, and I will be the judge."

Fang Lao smiled and said nothing.

　Like Qing Dao's behavioral motives, I originally considered whether it would be more interesting to write something cryptic to give everyone room to think, but in the end, I decided to take the straightforward route, because this book is not a purely official book, and there may be only a few chapters related to it. The content, maybe when I write next time, no one will remember the thinking points secretly left behind by joining the army, and then it will lose its meaning at all. It’s better to be straightforward, I think so.
