my wife is a consul

Chapter 503 Referendum
Tianguan City, the southernmost city in Jiangning Province, borders Daliang City, the northernmost city in Zhenjiang Province.

In fact, the Liang family's property has also extended into Tianguan City, and there are some transactions in Tianguan City.

The Zhenjiang Provincial Independent Commission Against Corruption dispatched a working group to temporarily control the Liang family's property in Tianguan. Wang Jingcheng, the chief municipal committee member of Tianguan City, cooperated very well and entrusted the working group to bring a letter to Marshal Lu.

Lu Ming wrote back a letter, and soon received a secret letter from Wang Jingcheng.

Three days later, Lu Ming sent a special envoy to Daliang to secretly contact Wang Jingcheng.

……

Jiulu Hotel is the best hotel in Daliang City. The original shareholders have been taken away for investigation. Now the hotel is under the management and operation of "New Era Group".

Throughout Daliang City, the military and police have three steps, one post and five steps, but most people's lives have not been greatly affected.

Instead, people gathered in the tavern, talking about the downfall of the Liang family and the city's well-known rich men and officials.

Some people think that the sky may really have changed, while others think that Liang Chongming will be safe in the end.

Lu Ming smiled: "Understood." He said again: "Hu Zhizheng of Humen City, is he unwell?"

Wang Jingcheng's eyes lit up, "So, the key to this matter lies with Governor Chakson?"

Ding Lei, the governor of Sanhe City, is a powerful faction. His son-in-law also serves as the head of the Sanhe City Security Regiment.

Wang Jingcheng was immediately encouraged and looked at Ding Lei, "Old Ding, how about you doing the same thing?"

Recently, Jiulu Hotel has seen a lot fewer guests, whether it's catering or accommodation.

If one of the three southern cities would not respond, Lu Shuai would not have given any thought to this matter.

Lu Ming smiled: "It is logical to say so."

Between Heishan and Zhenjiang Province, there are three cities of Sanhe, Humen and Tianguan in Jiangning Province.

The luxury suites on the top floor were suddenly booked out yesterday, which is a rare thing.

Ding Lei smiled and said, "I'll go back and think about it." He looked at Lu Ming and said, "Commissioner Zhang, you represent Marshal Lu with full authority, so if my Sanhe City is merged into the Montenegro Special Zone, our Sanhe administrative officials and garrison groups will How?"

Lu Ming smiled and said nothing, although Ding Lei said nothing in Sanhe, but in terms of the political system of Jiangning Province, a document from the provincial office can remove him from his position, and the municipality, in his mind, will naturally become Sanhe from now on The local emperor of the city, this temptation must be quite great.

Wang Jingcheng is very yearning to work under Lu Dashuai, who promotes the reform of the five provinces in the south of the Yangtze River.

Wang Jingcheng hurriedly waved his hands: "Commissioner Zhang, you misunderstood, I am not showing merit, I wholeheartedly support Marshal Lu, and brother Ding Lei is the same!"

Lu Ming waved his hand: "The imperial capital has little influence. Marshal Lu, as the prince of Montenegro, is also in a time of war. He can handle the affairs of Montenegro with ease."

There were two people sitting on the couch opposite the coffee table. A middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes was Wang Jingcheng, the consul of Tianguan City; a burly and powerful old man was Ding Lei, the consul of Sanhe City.

Up to now, under the prestige of the Liang family, there are almost no drinkers who dare to talk about the Liang family in the tavern. They still hide it for the venerable, and mysteriously use the code name to represent the Liang family, let alone say that the Liang family is not good. .

The secret letter Wang Jingcheng sent to Lu Ming a while ago hinted that Tianguan City wanted to become a part of the Montenegro Special Zone, and that Sanhe and Humen had the same intentions.

For Lu Ming, if the three cities of Tianguan, Sanhe and Humen are merged into the Heishan Special Zone, the Heishan Special Zone will be connected with Zhenjiang Province.

Lu Ming was startled, looked at him, and really looked at him seriously, this guy is a talent.

Lu Ming nodded.

Wang Jingcheng gritted his teeth, "If it is in Tianmen, what if I push for a referendum? I think it is no problem for more than half of the people to vote for this city to join the Montenegro Special Zone."

Listening to them chatting about the past, Lu Ming smiled and said, "Thank you for your assistance back then!"

From the perspective of the governance of the three cities, Wang Jingcheng is an enlightened faction, and the Montenegro Special Zone seems to be a warlord dictatorship, but in fact, it is the only one in the five provinces in the south of the Yangtze River from freedom of speech to the implementation of the legal system.

Over there, Lu Ming pondered and said: "This matter will have a lot of resistance. It is not a big problem for Marshal Lu to actually control the three southern cities. For example, there are bandits in your place, and the Black Mountain Corps needs to be stationed to maintain stability. It is almost impossible for the city to belong to the Montenegro Special Region, and Governor Chakson must personally approve it."

That is, half of Jiangning Province has been divided. Since then, Jiangning Province has been divided into two, one is the Heishan Special Zone, and the rest is the area directly under the jurisdiction of Jiangning Province.

These are all international political means from the 90s to the new century in his previous life, how could he even think of it?
In the five Jiangnan provinces, there has never been a general election, let alone a referendum to decide regional affairs.

However, a high-end consumer place like the Nine Deer Hotel is somewhat depressed.

Today, the two mayors are talking about how the Black Mountain Corps passed through their city when they sent troops to Zhenjiang.

Wang Jingcheng glanced at Lu Ming's expression, sighed and said, "He still has some concerns."

However, if these three cities are also merged into the special zone, the entire Montenegro special zone will consist of six cities, namely Heishan Special City, Jingyang City, Longhe City, plus the three cities in the south.

Wang Jingcheng once tested him, but he didn't make any point, so he didn't say it clearly. Now he and this Commissioner Zhang are also vague, lest the merger of Tianguan and Sanhe into the Montenegro Special Zone will completely come to naught.

The people in Tianguan, Sanhe and Humen have extremely strong aspirations. The rapid development of Montenegro is close by, and there are also relatives walking around. The strong contrast is obvious.

Life is not affected, the market area is still lively.

Wang Jingcheng said that he did not know what happened when he received a secret letter from Wang Qiande, the chief envoy of Jiangning Province, but according to what Wang Qiande said, traffic control was carried out in the areas involved in the city. Later, soldiers from the Montenegro Corps entered the city. , Only after receiving the official notice, did I know that the Black Mountain Army was going to enter Zhenjiang Province to suppress the rebellion.

Hu Dinghai of the Hu family is from the "Ding" generation of the Hu family, and he and Hu Dingjin are distant cousins, but they have no relationship in fact.

He had some concerns about merging into the Montenegro Special Zone, but he still came to Daliang to meet with Marshal Lu's secret envoy.

How could Governor Chakson and the officials of Jiangning Province agree?

Ding Lei had some concerns at first, and he came here with an attitude of letting go. At this time, he said: "Even if the governor agrees, you still need the approval from the imperial capital?"

He sighed in his heart, as Commissioner Zhang, that's all he did, doing the most despicable things for a politician, from a common sense point of view, I'm afraid he is destined to end badly in the future.

Lu Ming smiled: "You don't need to worry about this. Even if it really happens in the end, Marshal Lu approves that you can merge into the Montenegro Special Zone. You can also use the status of joining the municipality. The special zone will not care about your city's internal affairs. Intervention, of course, the ugly words are in the front. If this is the case, the corresponding special zone investment, cooperation, etc. may be worse. In addition, your city must abide by the laws and regulations of Montenegro. Of course, under this premise, the municipality can have its own own laws and regulations."

After all, what impresses Marshal Lu is the connection of Zhenjiang Province and Heishan Special Zone, which are actually controlled areas.

Ding Lei felt hot in his heart, nodded and said: "Good Commissioner Zhang, I will seriously consider your suggestion."

But he considers himself a member of the Hu faction, although he has a good personal relationship with Wang Jingcheng, a middle school classmate and friend.

Today, Lu Ming is slowly sipping tea in the living room of one of the luxury suites. He is the face of Commissioner Zhang.

Wang Jingcheng continued: "Our Tianmen is adjacent to Zhenjiang Province. The general election in Zhenjiang Province has a great impact on the citizens and villagers of our Tianmen. What they are most keen to discuss recently is when they will have votes to elect the ruler. So I thought, to decide the fate of our own region, we Tianmen people also have the power of referendum, right?"

If Commissioner Zhang didn't play this role by himself, with the power he gave him, he did all kinds of things for him, and if he couldn't be his heir in the end, he was destined to be his strong enemy. A tsunami-like earthquake in the political and military circles may shake the foundation of the Montenegro Group's rule.

Fortunately, I can kill him however I want.

Thinking about it, Lu Ming couldn't help but smile wryly.

There was even a bit of bitterness in his heart, and he felt a little sympathy for "Commissioner Zhang". This "Commissioner Zhang" is actually quite pitiful, although he is himself and does not really exist.
