my wife is a consul

Chapter 635
For the first time, I had breakfast in this "king's house" in Anxi.

Both the affairs of Japan and Antigua have reached a certain point in time.

In Japan, the Principality has reached an agreement with the Ashikaga regime to sell ten Destroyers and temporarily provide them with volunteer pilots.

The Naishan Consulate is preparing to relocate to Xijing and be upgraded to the Consulate General. Consul Lu is also promoted to the Consul General.

Deputy Consul General Du Cunzhao is Dongying Tong, a talent selected by Lu Ming after observing for a long time. This is also Lu Ming's preparation for letting go.

Of course, it is still necessary to pull out the fangs of the Kansai Army.

In Montenegro, the governor of Chachai actually expressed his desire not to return to Antigua.

Now decent lobbyists are trying to convince him, if not, the plan that has been rolling out in Antigua can only be carried out ahead of schedule.

Lu Ming planned to take a good rest these few days, otherwise he would be busy again soon.

It's really too busy. In the past month, I haven't closed my eyes much.

Until last night, in this "king's mansion", I really slept comfortably until dawn.

But after waking up, I felt that my whole body had no strength, and my spirit became more and more tired and listless.

This is naturally because I have been too exhausted recently, and I have been in a state of high spirits. I really feel tired before I really rest, and it is obvious that I haven't rested thoroughly.

In the past two days, I have taken a good rest here and recharged my batteries.

In fact, it is not the start-up stage now, and you should also pay attention to letting go of power. Of course, in key areas where the situation is more complicated, you can get twice the result with half the effort by yourself, so naturally you should do your part to avoid unnecessary sacrifices and setbacks.

Yawning, Lu Ming entered the restaurant.

Yard No. 1 and Yard No. 2 share a restaurant, and Yard No. 3 is the restaurant of the pistol squad, but the food is the same.

The restaurant was originally very lively, but when Lu Ming came in, there was no sound at all.

It was originally as buzzing as a school cafeteria, and indeed, with the addition of two children, a total of more than a dozen people ate.

No one expected that the Patriarch would appear, because they moved here, the earliest ones have been here for nearly half a month, and the new ones have been here for several days, but they have never seen the Patriarch during the day, even at night, the Patriarch also It seems to be very busy. I always come back to sleep in the early morning, and there is no sound during the day.

Lu Ming walked over to sit on the main seat, and made a gesture: "Everyone is casual, let's continue to eat!"

On the long table with snow-white tablecloth, there are more than a dozen beauties sitting on the left and right. They are dressed in different styles, and even come from different ethnic groups.Their skin tones are all different, except for one similarity. They are all extremely beautiful beauties, each with its own style.

Sitting first on the left and right were Bai Shuixian and Bei Ji, both of whom had skin-to-skin relationships with Lu Ming.

Both of them also knew that the Patriarch was actually Governor Zhang, who had just changed his appearance.

Of course, Becky, Pei Shi, Zou Shi and Lu Ming were the first to know more about it.

The Kan sisters and Shangguan Yusuo, who used to follow Governor Zhang, also knew this.

They all lived in No. 1 yard, but Becky and the two children went to No. 2 yard.

Tuobalan and the five newcomers also live in No. 2 courtyard.

Bai Shuixian and Bei Ji seem to be the big sisters of No. 1 and No. 2 courtyards respectively, and they are indeed in the two courtyards, and they are the oldest of them.

At this time, Bai Naixian hurriedly went to serve Lu Ming a bowl of porridge, milk, fried eggs and so on.

The kitchen is in the No. [-] courtyard, and the meals are cooked and delivered, and there is a row on another long white table. These beauties, big and small, just go and get whatever they want, just like eating a cafeteria buffet.

Those in No. 1 Courtyard are all free, but the Tuobalan girls in No. 2 Courtyard are not good enough. If they want to travel, they must be accompanied by female spies from the pistol squad.

Tuobalan and his daughters in No. 2 courtyard received 100 yuan per month for petty expenses.

Becky is the same as those in No. 1 Courtyard. They each have their own bank accounts and checkbooks. Except for Bai Shuixian and Becky, the women in No. 1 Courtyard and Mrs. Western Four are treated the same, Bai Shuixian and Becky The amount is higher, but they will not spend the upper limit, and often the account for a month is not mobilized.

Sisters Pei and Kan can even save money in it.

Pei's qualifications in the financial industry are extremely rich. When he came to Anxi, he quickly found a high-paying job as the deputy assistant manager of the key account department of Jinxiu Sub-branch of Anxi Branch of Baoyin Bank.

The Kan sisters are writing Mandarin Duck and Butterfly novels together, and they have just published one, which is selling well.

As for Bei Ji, she is still the chairman of Zhenjiang's New Times Group in name, of course, she is the chairman by name.

However, recently New Era Group also came to invest in Anshan, mainly investing in Anxi.

When Lu Ming was in Zhenjiang, the New Era Group wiped out all the horrible bureaucratic capital in Zhenjiang. Its total assets were more than 20 billion, involving all walks of life in Zhenjiang Province.

Now it is running well and fully capitalized, just like the Temasek model in Lu Ming's previous life in Singapore. However, the "Temasek" in Zhenjiang is owned by the Prince of Montenegro, not the property of the Principality.

The Principality of Montenegro, in fact, is incorporated into the Principality in different ways according to different regions, and there are various economic operation modes.

However, because each dominion develops its economy independently and only chooses the one that suits itself, it does not affect each other. The humanities and economic foundations of each dominion are very different, and it is impossible to use the same model to operate.

No one is a god, who can carry out extremely careful planning on how to refine the economic development of these many different regions, different populations, and so on.

The principality's overall development goals must be planned, but it will not be subdivided into all aspects of each territory.

For example, New Era Group's investment in Anshan is completely a market behavior, and New Era Group invests only when it thinks it will be profitable.

Lu Ming has always believed that, at least under the current conditions, capital that competes in a market with perfect laws will promote social development and progress.

The terrible thing is that bureaucratic capital, capital combined with power, whose income comes from power, not from competition, will naturally drive out good money from bad money, and devour the blood and sweat of taxpayers with infinite greed.

In addition, monopoly is a taboo for all countries with a free market economy, and the Principality naturally suspended the "Anti-Monopoly Law" on the head of capital early on.

Lu Ming drank the milk, then shook his head, his brain seemed to have no time to rest.

Putting down the cup, Lu Ming said to Bai Narcissus, "Narcissus, come to the study later."

Bai Shuixian nodded lightly: "Yes, master."

……

In the study, Lu Ming casually flipped through fashion magazines, deliberately relaxing his mind.

There was a light knock on the door, and Bai Naixian walked in. She was wearing a peach-white satin jacket with plum blossom buttons and an elegant short skirt, revealing Bai Shengsheng's two slender legs, and embroidered milky white soft-soled leather shoes, a combination of classic elegance and modern beauty. just right.

Seeing Lu Ming looking her up and down, Bai Shuixian's pretty face flushed slightly, she lowered her head, shy and happy.

Lu Ming smiled and said, "I've been busy all the time, and I spend less time with you, so I always wanted to tell you, but I always forgot that I'm actually the Prince of Montenegro."

"Oh..." Bai Naixian nodded slightly, but then she raised her head suddenly, her pretty eyes were full of inconceivable.

Lu Ming smiled and said, "Beiji has been with Wanjun and Xiying for a long time, and they all know about it." Pei's name is Pei Wanjun, and Zou's is Zou Xiying.

Pei and Zou were the first to be detained by Liuli because they, like the Western Fourth Madam, both had the physique of a fire girl.

When he was in Zhenjiang, he wanted to run the New Era Group Company, so Lu Ming summoned Becky and the Six Fire Girls to tell them his true identity.

Bai Shuixian's pretty face was full of astonishment, but if you don't believe it, "Master" has changed into his previous appearance, and he has never told a lie, especially this kind of outrageous lie, can you tell it casually?
"Well, go and ask Becky and the people from No. [-] Courtyard to come, the Kan sisters and Xiao Suo, you can play the side drum with them in advance."

"Yes, yes..." Bai Shuixian walked out in a daze.

Ten minutes later, Bai Naixian, Bei Ji, Pei Shi, Zou Shi, the Kan sisters and Shangguan Yusuo all came to the study.

Obviously, the Kan sisters and Shangguan Yusuo were also in a daze.

"Actually, this is me!" Lu Ming opened his fan, and when he closed it with a flick, he had already changed into his original face.

Although Bei Ji, Pei Shi and Zou Shi had seen it once, they were still extremely shocked at this time, while Bai Shuixian, sisters Kan and Shangguan Yusuo were even more stunned.

Lu Ming smiled: "In the future, when there are only you, I will still be like this, and feel more comfortable." He said again: "Okay, you go, I am here today, living and working, if there is any problem, or I need to do it You can come to me for anything, I have plenty of time today, and I don’t want to think about any military affairs.”

All the girls quit in a daze.

Lu Ming flipped through the magazine, but finally couldn't help it. He put the magazine aside, picked up a pen and paper, pondered about the things in Antigua, and slowly wrote something.

Da da da, the door slammed softly.

Lu Ming responded, and the pretty figure who came in was Bai Shuixian.

"Is there a problem?" Lu Ming looked at her with a smile.

Bai Naixian looked at Lu Ming's expression, and said cautiously: "Your Highness, shouldn't you be in Montenegro? My concubine watched yesterday morning, and His Highness gave a televised speech. It was very hard..."

Lu Mingxin said that at that time, wouldn't I stop appearing here?He smiled and said, "That's my incarnation."

Since I can't meet people, I tell them that I have one heart and four bodies, even if I am already my own woman, there is still a big difference between intimacy and intimacy.

"Oh..." Bai Shuixian's pretty eyes sparkled, and she said cautiously: "Your Highness, how lucky is this concubine, I feel like I'm dreaming..." The circles of her eyes turned red slightly.

Lu Ming could actually see that she was faintly excited and delighted, but he suppressed it and didn't want to show it.

As a woman with the traditional thinking of concubines in the Northern Territory, she knew that her man's identity was so noble, and the red eyes were not fake. For their thinking, the man they were attached to was everything to them, and the man's status also represented With their status.In their eyes, their real status, which was suddenly revealed, may be the only one in the world, after all, they would not consider Westerners.

Lu Ming smiled and said, "Okay, with you like this, I'm in high spirits, as if the emperor favored you."

Bai Shuixian whispered: "You, aren't you?"

Lu Ming coughed, "You can't talk nonsense."

Bai Shuixian hurriedly kept silent: "Yes..." Looking secretly at Lu Ming's expression, seeing that he was not angry, he said cautiously: "Your Highness, are the identities of those concubines the same as those of the female imperial court in the previous palace?" gone?"

Lu Ming couldn't help laughing. He heard Bizhu and Liuli talk about the royal family system of the previous dynasty. For the emperor's harem, it was divided into first empress, third palace, nine concubines, nine concubines, 21st wives, and 81st imperial concubines. Unexpectedly, in the north There are still people in the domain who know it, of course, they only know a little bit of it, and it can be regarded as an ancient fairy tale.

I wanted to say something, but looking at Bai Shuixian Xiyi's expression, I swallowed what I wanted to say, nodded and said: "Okay, let's do it privately, you are my female consort, okay? They are classy, ​​not folks. The concubine is so humble, so don't always think about being like a duckweed in fear that I will give it away to others, as an emperor, when did you give your maid to others, you have to guard it as a widow, right?"

Bai Shuixian knelt down, tears streaming down her face, "Yes, yes, thank you Your Highness!"

Lu Ming was helpless, but seeing her so grateful, she was so happy that she wanted to cry, but he couldn't help feeling pity in his heart. The education since childhood made this poor woman feel that her ancestors are glorious and her life has reached the pinnacle. He feels that she is unfortunate. , but she will think that meeting herself is her greatest luck.

"Get up." Lu Ming said helplessly, "You know, I'm not very good at coaxing a crying girl."

"Yes, yes!" Bai Shuixian hurriedly got up, took out a snow-white handkerchief to wipe her tears, and said, "Then, Becky..."

Lu Ming said: "You can tell her that she is my maid, but I'm afraid she won't understand."

Bai Naixian looked at Lu Ming's expression: "Your Highness, Xiying has been depressed, and a while ago, she also fell seriously ill."

Lu Ming nodded: "Well, I wanted to talk to her at first, I understand what you mean, go ahead and talk, maybe, it will get rid of her heart disease."

Zou and Bai Naixian are the same kind of people. Zou is beautiful, but she doesn't have any survival skills. Although she can live a very luxurious life without worrying about food and clothing after following her, her biggest reliance is to please her. The man's stunner, but I haven't even looked at her. Moreover, it's been a few years in a flash, and she is completely like a concubine who was thrown into the cold palace after entering the palace. I heard that she is often sick recently, so she has a heart disease.

After all, the Pei family who has a good relationship with her has a good life and can make money from outside to support the family.

The more she was like this, the more she felt a sense of crisis, the more inferior she felt, fearing that if this situation continued, she would become ill and die young, and she complied with the saying that the beauty is poor.

Just because she is a kind of person, it seems that Bai Shuixian sympathizes with her very much. At this time, after she bowed out respectfully, she trots away happily, and looking in the direction, it is Zou's room.

Lu Ming picked up a pen and paper to draw again. After a while, there was another knock on the door.

Those who came in were Mrs. Pei and Mrs. Zou. They were good friends, but they were completely like people from two eras.

Mrs. Pei is wearing a light green professional suit with a retro-style lace round neck. Her breasts are tall and her waist is slim, and her green trousers show the curves of her legs. She is wearing a pair of black leather shoes with stiletto heels. Although it is still traditional The style does not reveal the skin, but it looks very modern, beautiful, and gentle.

Zou's is different, that timid concubine's scent can make a man feel impulsive at first sight, she is wearing a pair of quilted jacket with rose red plum blossom button, soft yellow skirt, little red embroidered shoes looming, her figure is very weak and slender , the softness and docility of a traditional concubine can only be imagined by men in their dreams in the era of their previous lives.

"Your Highness, my concubine, this concubine is here to thank you..." Zou did not dare to raise her head, her voice sounded like a mosquito.

Lu Ming smiled and said, "I still don't dare to come, so I brought a partner!"

Zou Shi, who was about to kneel and kowtow, immediately had tears in his eyes, "Slave concubine, slave concubine..."

Lu Ming had no choice but to say, "Well, you come to my room tonight."

"Ah...ah?" Zou couldn't believe her ears, and raised her head in astonishment.

Lu Ming waved his hands: "You guys go! Oh..." Lu Ming looked at Mrs. Pei, "Mr. Wan, is it okay for you to deal with big clients?"

Pei Wanjun pondered, and said: "Your Highness, I am going to resign from this job. It's not that there is anything wrong with it. It's just that Your Highness's current status, if I show up again, His Highness will not look good..."

Lu Ming looked at her in surprise. Obviously, after hearing what Nu Yuyi said, she started to mutter.

Waving his hands, Lu Ming smiled and said, "It's hard to change the old thinking like Xiying and the others, so you can just do whatever you want. You who have received a new type of education have finally made it to the present, why are you turning back? Then I have committed a serious crime. She made a gesture to stop what she wanted to say, "Just listen to me, you go!"

"Okay, thank you, Your Highness." Mrs. Pei gently bowed her knees to leave, while Mrs. Zou was ignorant, her pretty face was full of confusion. She probably thought she was dreaming, and forgot that she was here to thank you. She followed Mrs. Pei and left in a daze .
