my wife is a consul

Chapter 513

Cheng Dali, the new county magistrate of Heihuo County, brought two guards and came to Old Liu Village by bicycle.

It is said that thousands of years ago, this place was a land of black fire hell. The people here did something wrong. The black fire fell from the sky and burned this place so that no grass could grow. The hell fire burned for several years before it gradually subsided. Later immigrants, Heihuo County also got its name from this.

In the fenced yard of Uncle Liu's house, Lu Ming sat on a wooden pier and listened patiently to Uncle Liu's storytelling.

An old man in his 60s, with a stooped back, deep creases on his face, and cloudy eyes that were sunken so deep that he couldn't see them, he was old and disfigured. In Lu Ming's previous life, 80-[-]-year-old people were rarely so old.

Old Uncle Liu was also a little confused, and told stories upside down. His eldest son Liu Yigou next to him had deep worries in his eyes, but he didn't dare to intervene.

"Old man, I see that you are also tired, go and rest!" Lu Ming smiled, and said to Liu Yigou: "Help your father back to the house, the old man has worked hard today."

Feeling relieved, Liu Yigou hurriedly helped his father back to the thatched cottage with his mother-in-law Wang Shi. Although Wang Shi stood trembling at first, she became very impatient with her old father. sentence.

The couple soon turned around, both in their early forties, but Liu Yigou's back was a little hunched, a typical figure of an old farmer under the weight of farm work, and Wang was a dark peasant woman, and the two looked numb and a little scared Standing in front of the thatched hut, it is a picture scroll of peasants in the old society.

"Well, take those things in!" Lu Ming pointed to the four-color gifts on the ground beside him, snacks, wine, candy and canned food. Because there was no place to put them, they could only be placed on the ground temporarily.

Cheng Dali gritted his teeth, "Okay!"

The formation of the westward cadre group was naturally signed by oneself in the end.

Bai Narcissus, who was always by Lu Ming's side, also brought the four-color dim sum. At this time, her beautiful eyes were shining, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

Especially this Professor Li, when it comes to General Lu, they all belong to "Lu Ming" and "Lu Ming". If it weren't for Commissioner Zhang's respect for these old men, who cares whether he is a professor or not?They have already been reprimanded.

In this regard, Professor Li also agreed, and he was very appreciative of Lu Ming.

Over there, Professor Li nodded thoughtfully and said, "Perhaps, Mr. Lu Ming is right. In the current Anshan, it is possible that the centralized and planned economy can truly develop."

After bathing and drinking a cup of tea, Lu Ming had just returned to the bedroom when there was a knock on the door outside.

Lu Ming smiled and reached out to shake his hand, "Now you are also a commissioner! You are making great progress!"

Her pretty face was slightly powdered, her wet and long black hair was tied up in a beautiful bun like a flower, her soft yellow satin pajamas and pajama pants, and a pair of small, charming jade feet like frost and snow were pulling the embroidered soft mop.

"Captain Miao, ah, it's Commissioner Miao, I heard you're here, let me salute you for her!" Cheng Dali said, and snapped to attention.

……

Professor Li was silent for a while, then picked up the juice, "General Lu Ming is a strange man, right and wrong, only future generations can judge!" He raised the juice glass and lightly touched Lu Ming, "Thank you, Commissioner Zhang, for telling me this , we wish General Lu Ming a safe journey ahead and reach his ideal country!"

"So Dali, you have to be prepared. You may go to the jungle with me to see how sharp the Ma's army, which is said to come and go like the wind." Lu Ming said with a smile.

Professor Li laughed happily, "Yes, I want to say, but, you said that if you want to build a fertilizer plant here, you must also have a power plant, various other factories, etc. These investments are obviously not much in the short term. The profit is far less than the dumping of chemical fertilizers shipped from other places. Of course, in that case, the price of chemical fertilizers is very high, and only a few landlords can afford it, but Mr. Lu Ming can make more money. According to Lu Ming The master's plan obviously does not want to drink poison to quench thirst, but to make people's lives here gradually better, taxation will be higher, and enter a virtuous circle. But then it requires initial investment, let's talk about factories, where does the initial investment come from?"

"Understood!" Cheng Dali nodded.

Cheng Dali smiled innocently, "I'm sorry to tell you this, I'm afraid you will laugh at me."

"If agriculture is used to subsidize industry, how much grain will the villagers here have to use in exchange for a set of factory equipment? I guess it will take a generation to suffer!" Professor Li's eyes flickered, "But think about it, it's worth it, right?"

Professor Li was silent, and sighed softly: "Any real change will be bloody, otherwise, it will not be able to change the attributes of a society. General Lu Ming has three tastes in it!"

Lu Ming looked to the north, "According to the latest information, the cavalry division of Ma Quanyou's Department in Northern Xinjiang has arrived in Gongyang. Don't let the wind fall."

"My lord, I heard what my lord said today. I don't know what to do, I can't sleep. I have so much to say. General Lu, as Professor Li said, is really a hero of the world, and will bring great changes to the current situation..." Bai Shuixian's beautiful eyes were full. It is longing, the voice is extremely soft and charming, just like a fairy chant.

Lu Ming nodded: "That is to say, more public officials are beneficial to stability, but I am afraid that they will fall into an increasingly bloated vicious circle. Overstaffed people are not working but consuming social resources. The wealth created by the people at the bottom Well, there is always a limit for those who support, if this balance is not good, it is easy to collapse when encountering natural and man-made disasters."

Cheng Dali put away his smile, "It's different from the county magistrates in the past. If I can do what I can do, I won't hire people. The organization should be as streamlined as possible. I'll just use local tax to support public officials. If you want to reduce local tax, No matter how rich the money is for infrastructure construction, there will certainly not be too many public officials supported by taxes.”

Cheng Dali nodded silently, digesting Commissioner Zhang's words.

……

Those who are still in the "headquarters" are three older professors. The leader is Professor Li Bohai. He is over 70 years old, but he is old and strong. He is also one of the most famous geological experts in the empire. When the students go down to do things, they really find something If there is a clue, I will ask Professor Li and others to make a judgment and make a final decision.

Although most of the regiment members just glanced at them, the commissioners of the city and county offices naturally looked at their files in detail, so they still took into account the appointment of old friends such as Cheng Dali and Miao Hongmei. .

Speaking of business, Cheng Dali became serious, "It's difficult, we can only take it slowly! I didn't retain any of the old police stations, and all of them were recruited new young people. But many people have concerns, and they don't have enough confidence to go out and take care of things. "

Lu Ming smiled and said, "Professor Li should have 'but' and 'but', right?"

Lu Ming smiled: "We are backed by the Eastern Alliance, so in Anshan, there is no need to have a complete set of industrial systems. In the short term, the main thing is to plan enterprises that are helpful to agricultural development. General Lu will seek assistance from the Eastern Alliance. Our Eastern Alliance has the obligation to help poor members, otherwise, General Lu may sue this organization in the Eastern Sea Court!"

It seems that he was selected as a reserve cadre. After a year of emergency training, he successfully entered the westward cadre group.

Cheng Dali frowned beside him, these words were harsh no matter how they sounded.

Cheng Dali hesitated a little, "I'm just pretending."

Therefore, even if it was the patrol team of dozens of people he had just recruited, he dared to take it out. Anyway, it was all soy sauce, and he just accepted the baptism of war.

The armed task force once followed "Commissioner Zhang" to fight, entered the Eighteen Guaizi Cave three times, won three battles and three victories, and defeated the Haixi bandits. Those few battles left an indelible shock in the hearts of Cheng Dali and other team members. .

To deal with the affairs of the county office, it would be better to let him take dozens of armed people to fight, that would be more satisfying.

A round table was set up near the caravan, with simple benches. There were four dishes and one soup on the table, and the portions were very generous. It was no problem for seven or eight people to eat, and there were also drinks and so on.

Although the bedroom of the caravan is small, you can still have this kind of accommodation in the countryside. The interior is extremely clean, like a miniature version of a suite in a big hotel, and the snow-white bed is as soft as a cloud, which is hard for ordinary people to imagine.

Including Bai Naixian, everyone toasted one after another, Lu Ming was dazed for a while, then toasted to them lightly.

Lu Ming looked at him and smiled: "Don't forget your job, you have a different status now, but well, the cadres of the westward movement are all cadres who can fight, otherwise, you wouldn't dare to take a few guards to take over a group of cadres. Local authorities, I have high expectations of you."

Lu Ming knew that he was talking about Miao Hongmei, the leader of the Dahuling Township Armed Work Team, that very hearty and capable man.

"Specialist!" Cheng Dali rushed over excitedly.

Lu Ming really didn't do much research on geology. He talked to Professor Li about the legend of the black fire here, and said that although the legend here is a bit nonsense, many folklore actually have their roots, but the people at that time It is difficult to understand some natural phenomena, so they are recorded in the form of myths.

The westward cadre group is the cadre candidates who come to Anshan to supplement various administrative agencies.

As soon as Lu Ming and his party walked out of the fenced yard, Mrs. Wang couldn't wait to pick up the four-color snacks, and looked through them like treasures.

The exploration team consisted of more than 30 people, divided into several groups, and each group was followed by a guard squad.

"If Ma Quanyou's department goes south again, it will be Songshan Road adjacent to us. According to the original strategy, we don't want to enter Songshan Road, but it will be used as a buffer zone between the expansion forces in Northern Xinjiang and we have also expressed concerns to Northern Xinjiang. Willingness, An Benxi, the brigade commander of Songshan Road, and An Dashun, the brigade commander of our Tangyang brigade, are good friends, and tend to exist as our allies, but in my opinion, the Ma Quanyou Department may not abide by the tacit agreement we reached with Beijiang. "

Lu Ming smiled and said, "As a result, my lord sent you here, so you are regretful now, right?"

From Cheng Dali's point of view, the regular brigades of the Black Mountain Corps were invincible, let alone Commissioner Zhang's elite subordinates.

Lu Ming smiled and said, "It's okay, tell me, what do you want to do with this county magistrate?"

Lu Ming picked up the fruit juice and took a sip, "If the initiators are consoling themselves for this bloody and cruel change, it is these dignitaries in Anshan who are insatiably greedy for the people's fat and people's anointing, making illegal wealth in a state of lawlessness. Accumulation, so, to get rid of these people, in Anshan, public prosecution will still be adopted, and the courts will be used for trial, and the evidence will be collected sufficiently. After decades or hundreds of years, at least they will not be so criticized."

Lu Ming said: "Of course, these can't solve the fundamental problem." His eyes flickered, "In the next year, most of the dignitaries here will be defeated. Their assets are enough for the construction of the factory."

In front of the experts and cultured people from Donghai, Cheng Dali seemed even more cautious.

"Although the family environment is not good, it is still worth doing my best to support my father." Standing in this farmyard, Lu Ming was full of emotion. It is such a family that forms a vast rural area, and he can bring them what they really need. change?
At this time, Hongling came to report in a hurry, saying that the commissioner of the county office had arrived at the village and asked the owner if he had seen him.

Outside, several figures are coming in a hurry, the leader is a young man in his early twenties, Cheng Dali, the commissioner of the county office.

Lu Ming pondered: "In two days, a platoon of judicial police will escort the judges over, right? Let's work together well, pass one or two cases, and after firing a shot, the situation will be much better."

It was Bai Shuixian who knocked on the door and came in. She had obviously just taken a bath, and Lu Ming also saw her enter the bathroom while drinking tea.

"Dali, how is the transformation of the old policemen in Heihuo County now?" Lu Ming asked, "Don't you want us to train police officers from the base area? And for the profession of patrolling, it is better for locals to be familiar with the local area."

Lu Ming looked at Liu Yigou and Wang Shi and smiled, "I'm leaving." He patted Liu Yigou on the shoulder, "Be filial to the old man."

Also in the westward cadre group, he was appointed as the commissioner of the Daoleshan City Office in Yanzhou.

He added: "If the patrol team of dozens of people really listens to your command, you will be able to master this little Heihuo County. What you will do in the future will be civilian jobs. You have to be patient. All kinds of trivial matters, you will be able to master them." What does the manual say?"

Cheng Dali smiled dryly, not knowing what to say.

Professor Li was stunned, and then laughed: "Yes, Mr. Lu Ming, um, General Lu Ming, he can do such a thing, he is a very interesting person!"

Lu Ming looked at his watch and said with a smile, "Dali, stay for dinner and meet the experts from Donghai."

The two guards behind him were stopped at a long distance because they were carrying box cannons.

Cheng Dali became excited: "Okay, bring those little bastards to see the world, and they will become more cowardly, not afraid of this master or that master!"

"Commissioner Zhang, the farmers in the Northern Territory are really suffering. Before coming here, it was unimaginable. You said that the traffic here is blocked and the land is barren. You have come, but if you change the ruler, can you change it? I think it is very difficult! "Professor Li said with a soft sigh.

Lu Ming met this young man when he was suppressing bandits in Wanzhou. He was a member of the armed task force of Dahuling Township.I've been with him for a few months and I know him very well.

Liu Yigou bowed in trepidation, "Yes, yes."

"Actually, if you are in power, you still need representatives of public opinion or a parliament to restrain you, but in Anshan, we can only talk about it later. Now, it is up to you to implement the rule of man, whether it is good or not, as long as I can place my hopes on your abilities and character. Besides, the local judges who have a completely different system from yours are also a kind of check and balance for you civil servants." As he spoke, Lu Ming laughed at himself, "It seems weird, I These words are made out of feelings, but they are not aimed at you. It makes me and you become opposites, and I think you have original sin. But a good system must presuppose everyone as a bad person. It is formulated in this way Only the regulations and the degree of transparent supervision can make the real bad guys be restrained, and the good guys will not go astray."

Lu Ming nodded and said: "I don't dare to say anything about changes, let's take it slowly, but I think that if each province plans a fertilizer plant, organizes manpower to repair canals, dig wells, and gradually increase its food production, if it is only to solve the large Some people have enough food and clothing, so it should be possible in time, right? Of course, I’m just talking on paper, and there will definitely be problems of one kind or another in implementation. General Lu requested that in our control area in Anshan, we must ensure the execution of all levels of government, that is, Temporarily not implementing democratically elected governments, and not setting up parliaments to restrict consuls, it is all to concentrate on doing things.” Looking at Cheng Dali, “In terms of implementation, the public officials should be as streamlined as possible, and it is still necessary to rely on the people to mobilize the people. How to mobilize the people depends on It's your job!"

Lu Ming smiled again: "I've been here recently, so you might as well make your firecrackers bigger, so you won't be afraid of poking a hornet's nest."

Bai Shuixian shook his head lightly: "It's not true, the master's thoughts are also different from those I have seen before. General Lu is illusory, but the master is a hero who lives in the world. The slaves are by the master's side. I feel enlightened, all my life was in vain before, a man like the master..."

The delicate and beautiful body full of timidity has gently approached Lu Ming's side. The fragrance of the makeup and powder is so strong that Lu Ming's heart trembled slightly.

"Master, master..." Bai Narcissus murmured softly, and slowly nestled into Lu Ming's arms, with a pretty face and red lips, she gently kissed Lu Ming's chin, neck...the red lips whispered in Lu Ming's ear, "Master..." The hot and humid breath, the gentle panting, seduces the soul.

Lu Ming was slightly drunk, and felt that the place where this delicate beauty's ecstasy mouth was lightly pecked was soft and numb, and the little fragrant snake moved lightly, licking the human bones and tendons, all the way down...
