my wife is a consul

Chapter 372
In the fenced yard of the mud house, there are many people, all of them are villagers in shabby clothes, but most of them are silent and very quiet.

The closest ones sitting around Lu Ming were a few old farmers with dark faces, some were rolling dry cigarettes with trembling hands like cracked bark and dead wood, and some were silent and bowed their heads to listen to Lu Ming's speech. The circle behind them were all young and middle-aged people and children. Most of them were standing. Some of them looked a little excited after hearing what Lu Ming said, but they didn't dare to say anything.

"People are born with the right to live. This is the most basic right of our citizens. I am not lazy, so why should I starve to death?"

"These fields were distributed to everyone by the Chengjia Jigong. Why don't you dare to take them? It's just because we are afraid that the situation will change in the future. Our current behavior is a crime. Please rest assured about this. In fact, General Lu originally wanted to personally Come to make a promise to everyone, but Jiangnan is busy with military affairs, so I entrusted me to tell you a few words..." After a pause, Lu Ming looked at their expressions, "General Lu said, as long as he is here, Cheng I can’t come back when I’m old! As for the fields distributed to everyone, if any of them are barren, they will definitely be punished!”

What he said was dry, and it didn't have much effect, so he could only use both kindness and force.

However, looking at some young people with bright eyes, I think they understand the true meaning of "General Lu".

"Oh, it smells so good. Is the rice ready? Second Aunt?" Lu Ming raised his head and asked with a smile.

There is a stove behind the fenced yard. At this time, a peasant woman in homemade clothes walked around from behind the earthen house. Listening to Lu Ming's question, she rubbed her apron awkwardly, "Yes..."

"Okay, Uncle Uncle, let's leave! Commissioner Zhang will go to the uncle's house after dinner! Third Uncle, I will help you out!" The beautiful young woman in light blue cheongsam who spoke was Cheng Wanjun from the Cheng family.

She is a member of the Cheng family, from a poor family. Because she was beautiful since she was a child, she was originally sold to a fool from a branch of Cheng Dasui's family as a child bride, but she was able to persuade her mother-in-law to pay for it and went to Nanping to study in middle school.

One day, Chen Rongfu went to Nanping Middle School to give a speech, and he immediately fell in love with her, so he became Chen Rongfu's concubine.

Lu Ming originally felt that these experiences were deliberately faked, but now he sees that they are real.

After all, he has read the book, and he treats people and things very differently, and he seems to be able to do things.

This is Cheng Wanjun's home. There are five adobe houses with more than a dozen people. Her family lives with her second uncle's family, and the conditions are very poor.

She has been the wife of Chen Rongfu for more than a year, and the money she secretly saved did not go directly to the family, but for the children of the two elder brothers and the eldest cousin of the second uncle's family to go to school in Nanping. Four or five children were taken care of in every possible way.

She also has a third elder brother and her second uncle's cousins ​​who can't marry a wife. Several times when her father and second uncle talked to her, she said that she had no money, but she had some money, and she wanted to give the children to go to middle school, She was used to study in a normal school. For this reason, several bachelors in the family and her father's second uncle called her a white-eyed wolf.

But now, no matter her father's second uncle or a few bachelor brothers, they are all very polite to her.

The long wooden table with long legs and the Maza low stools in the backyard were all borrowed temporarily.

Apart from Cheng, there is no woman in the Cheng family who is qualified to sit at the table, especially now, only Cheng's father, Boss Cheng, second uncle Cheng, and the eldest sons of the two families are at the table to accompany the guests, but they are all very restrained, and they are not grand. Dare not breathe.

The food is really good, there are fish and meat, presumably Cheng Wanjun bought it with money.

During the cooking process, the mother-in-law camel dragon watched the whole process, and now she stands far away.

"Good food, it's hard for you to satisfy your hunger, but with me here, you can't eat well." Lu Ming glanced at Cheng's side, "How about this, I will pay 10 yuan from Grandma Tuolong to help the family. It's like I invite you to have a few days of big meals at home."

"Yes, thank you, master..." Cheng Wanjun replied timidly in a low voice, which was completely different from how she received people and things just now.

Life is as thin as paper, even if she works as a clerk in the Sujing Office, her salary will be transferred directly to the account of Grandma Tuolong. She is only the property of Commissioner Zhang's family, and she is a crime, and no one cares about her being tortured to death .

"I think you are good at communicating with the folks. Next, you need to do more work for them so that they don't have to be afraid of Cheng Dasui." Lu Ming frowned: "It seems that you still have to give Cheng Dasui a little more power, as a His people responded by killing and setting fire here, otherwise, the villagers would still be afraid."

Hearing Lu Ming's topic, Cheng Wanjun dared not make a sound.

"Uncle Cheng, Second Uncle, you guys are allotted fields, do you dare to plant them?" Lu Ming's tone softened a bit.

"Dare!" It was Cheng Wanjun's elder brother Cheng Dazhu who answered in a low voice, "Besides, if we don't go, General Lu has an order, and Commissioner Zhang will arrest us and punish us!" He lowered his head when he spoke, although his father kept bumping His legs, but he still finished speaking.

Lu Ming looked at him and smiled: "That's right." Looking at Cheng Wanjun, "Look, your brother thinks very well."

But he sighed in his heart. In this Northern Territory, even doing work for the old farmers has to be done by himself, which is definitely not possible.

Think about some of the political propositions I put forward in the joint matrix, and the various declarations after coming to the Northern Territory.

Sort it out, add the political science of the previous life, because the various political models and historical processes are much more complicated than this world, and those political philosophies are actually much deeper than this world.

With all these things, can we sum up a school of politicalism suitable for this world?

This is a big project, and it needs to be carefully considered.

Thinking wildly, Lu Ming picked up a piece of meat and said with a smile: "Come, eat, eat! Second aunt, you are good at cooking! You can tell by smelling the aroma." In fact, there is obviously very little stew in this house. It's not the true quality of braised pork at all.

Outside, a boy in a black uniform wearing a peaked cap hurried in and whispered a few words to Granny Tuolong.

Granny Luotuo came up and said in a low voice, "Master, Sun Chonggu has removed Mayor Du."

Sun Chonggu arrived at Chengjiaji this morning, but Lu Ming didn't go to see him, he was busy with his own business.

"Don't worry about him, tell Lao Du what to do." Lu Ming waved his hand.

"But he appointed a new mayor, and he brought a personal entourage with him." Grandma Tuolong continued.

Oh?Lu Ming put down the bowl and chopsticks.

I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, it's really a world of warlords, in the warlords' melee in the previous life, some provinces had several high-ranking officials for a short period of time, one faction appointed one, and another faction appointed one, it was very chaotic.

Now there are small warlords here, so sometimes the chaos is the appointment of the mayor and the county magistrate.

In fact, this is also the case. On Wanzhou Road, there is also a mayor of the town who is in exile.

After thinking about it, "Ignore him for now, just leave it alone. Also, send a telegram back to Montenegro and say my order. The action at dawn will continue as usual, and if it can be done earlier, act as early as possible."

Grandma Camel Dragon nodded: "Yes."
