my wife is a consul

Chapter 723 Ascent Channel
It is rare for Lu Ming to enter a relatively leisurely period.

Of course, it’s only relatively speaking. After all, I used to be busy almost 24 hours a day, but now I can do it for [-] hours.

His Majesty the King worked eight hours a day, Brigadier General Bit of the Western Regions worked six hours, the Regent of Japan worked three hours, and Section Chief Anxi Wang worked three hours.

Moreover, Sunday can finally be used as a day off.

……

Today is the rest day, originally Lu Ming made an appointment with Xiao Meizhen to watch a movie.

Unexpectedly, it was Jin Meiyan who came.

The entire top floor of the Shengjing Palace was originally called "Wolong Palace". After Lu Ming became the lord of the country, it is now called "Qianning Palace".

With an area of ​​more than 5000 square meters, it is resplendent and resplendent, just like an imperial palace in ancient times. Of course, there are also many modern factors. For example, the movie theater where Lu Ming is now is only transformed into a traditional style inside, with nine large and soft collapsed, or It is comfortable to sit or lie down.

The layout of the bungalows is the largest in the middle, surrounded by the other eight, which are eight small bungalows. It is no problem for each bungalow to seat seven or eight people, which can satisfy the grand occasion of the King of Han and his concubines watching movies together.

However, this only exists in theory, and Lu Ming can only think about that kind of absurd life.

Lu Ming sat in the widest and softest middle, and Jin Meiyan stood far away. The distance between the two was four or five meters.

Seeing Jin Meiyan's terrified look, she mentioned that her sister was in the laboratory, so she called her and asked her to watch a movie with him.

Lu Ming didn't say much, and Jin Meiyan breathed a sigh of relief. She felt that the end of the world was coming when she received her sister's call, and she was afraid that she would be tortured as soon as she entered the palace?His Majesty the King dotes on his younger sister. It doesn't matter if the younger sister makes a mistake, but she must punish herself.

When reporting in trepidation for a moment, Jin Meiyan almost shed tears.

I heard that there was a castration. I don't know what it is, but it's scary to think about it.

"Let's stop watching it, shall we?" Lu Ming coughed. Although it was unfair, he really felt that watching a movie with this guy was really meaningless.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Jin Meiyan whispered.

"By the way, how is the environment here? Are you still used to living here?" Lu Ming asked.

Jin Meiyan lives in the "Libi Garden" on the 500th floor, which is a complex luxury suite with an area of ​​more than [-] square meters.

However, it is much worse than Meizhen's "Concubine Huiyuan" on the [-]th floor. Meiyan's living environment has been very good in recent years.

Jin Meiyan hesitated for a moment, and hurriedly said: "Xi, get used to it, Your Majesty..." Life here is so comfortable, it is simply the world I dreamed of before, with clothes and food, there are a few very sensible little maids, respectful Serving myself respectfully, calling her "Niang Niang", I imagined this kind of life when I was a child and daydream while watching costume dramas.

Sometimes, I really want to sleep forever on that soft princess bed.

Seeing her hesitation in answering, Lu Ming might have misunderstood, and frowned, "I told the Ministry of Internal Affairs to give you absolute freedom, but they didn't restrict you, did they?"

Jin Meiyan hurriedly shook her head: "No, no..." She added hurriedly, "Your Majesty."

Lu Ming was helpless, "Let's use the old address."

ah?Jin Meiyan was a little puzzled, but then she understood, "Your Majesty, you want the little girl to use the address you used to call you, uncle?"

Lu Ming nodded: "Although I am younger than you by ten years, in my eyes, you are like the child I met back then. Your sister, why don't you still call me Brother Qianxing?" Her little girl, Your Majesty's, every time I hear it, I get a headache.

"Yes, Your Majesty...Uncle..." Jin Meiyan called out "Uncle", feeling the fear in her heart faded a little.

Lu Ming smiled and said, "Well, don't be restrained, just stay the same as before." Feeling helpless, if the future history books exaggerate, he will marry his former niece as a concubine. One of the most absurd emperors.

Lu Ming stood up, "Go and play." Suddenly remembered something, and said, "By the way, the families of your little friends are at least middle class, and some of them are considered wealthy. If you have time, their families are all How is it, how is it rich, can you help me count it?"

Although Jin Meiyan was puzzled, she hurriedly said, "Okay, uncle."

Lu Ming nodded slightly: "You go."

"Section Chief Wang" is mainly busy with these things now, which is to observe the problem of rising channels.

In a developing society, the most important thing is the emergence and expansion of the middle class.

The channel through which the middle class emerges is very important and represents the development potential of this society.

The most fearful thing is that the middle class is only created when it is related to the power class. Even the official class has become the most stable channel to enter the middle class. Most of the other channels have been closed. Only the most emerging industries will have new channels. , Because the power class can't supervise it for the time being, fish that slip through the net appear, and cakes that don't use power distribution appear, then this society is a bit scary.

Thousands of years of history in his previous life told Lu Ming that if smart people think that studying hard and taking exams to become an official is the brightest way, instead of entering all walks of life to compete, then this society will only stagnate.

……

The "Wang's House" in Anxi has now been relocated, and a newly built apartment building has two floors belonging to the "Wang's House".

An eight-story elevator apartment building with a three-bedroom structure, eight residences on each floor, and a total of [-] residences in the "King's Residence".

This is a typical middle class apartment building. The "king's house" occupies the top and seventh floors.

At this time in the evening, Lu Ming was having a barbecue with another family in the community park.

Lu Ming was still the head of the household registration department, but he had changed to another branch.

Barbecuing with Lu Ming was the family of the Chief of the Traffic and Patrol Section of the New Sub-bureau. His wife was beautiful, he had a son and a daughter, and he lived a happy life.

The two children on the lawn were laughing and laughing. On the barbecue grill here, Chief Du was patiently turning the meat skewers, and the meat gave off a "sizzling" fragrance.

Bai Narcissus was joking and chatting with the beautiful section chief's wife.

Both of them are "full-time housewives", and they seem to have a lot in common.

Sitting next to Chief Du, Lu Ming opened a can of beer out of boredom.

He is wearing sunglasses, but he is actually in his own form, which is basically the case after changing branches.

"Dayong, when are you going to have a baby?" Chief Du asked with a smile.

Lu Ming smiled and said, "Old Du, I heard that the city council has approved a new budget, including a new plan for the institutional reform of the city hall? According to this plan, the number of civil servants in the city will increase by almost a quarter."

"Oh, you worry about this every day. Wouldn't it be good to have more people working? Tell me, you're fine, and I'm fine too. Is there no shortage of people under your command?" Du Kechang was not surprised, and said: " It just so happens that I have a nephew who has nothing to do, so forget about my concern this time."

Lu Ming nodded.

Anxi belongs to the original Anshan Province, which was originally the poorest province in the northern region, but Anxi is where the Taoist Administration is located. The basic model of Anshan Province is to gather the strength of all Taoists to build the city where it is located. The rural areas are extremely poor, and the Taoist Office is deformed. bustling.

Looking at it now, in the new society, the city's finances are gradually getting richer than before, but in fact it is still changing the soup without changing the medicine.

At the beginning, the extremely streamlined civil service team had to be expanded almost every year, and this year it was even worse, and there was a major expansion.

"Narcissus." Lu Ming waved to Bai Narcissus.

Bai Naixian hurriedly walked up to her, and Lu Ming said in a low voice, "Sisters of the Kan family, accompany me for supper today."

Bai Narcissus nodded: "Yes."

Over there, Chief Du looked at this scene enviously. Such a beautiful lady was so amazing at first glance, but now she looks more and more charming. The noble and clean temperament is hard to describe. Compared with his wife, it is simply The yellow-faced woman is obedient and obedient. I don't know how to cultivate this blessing of Wang Dayong.

Lu Ming was thinking about one thing.

The Kan sisters are both writers. Although their works have not sold much, they have put on the cloak of writers and critics, and they are from local prominent families. Therefore, both sisters have become local councilors, and one is a member of the Dominion. , one is the city councilor.

Now in the former provinces of Ansan, councilors are also elected, but citizens are not free to stand for election and must obtain the right to nominate.

Members of the Dominion Parliament, the right to nominate is in the Qualification Committee of the Dominion Members of the Privy Council of His Majesty the King.

Municipal, county, and town level councilors, the right to nominate is in the local election committee of the Dominion Assembly.

Perhaps, many things, it is time to go further.
