Chapter 1616 Contact Map

Lu Xuan's study is in the cross courtyard of the second entrance courtyard. The small courtyard is a small world of its own. Whether it is construction or courtyard landscape design, it is the essence of the whole house.The small courtyard was specially designed by Li Xiaolu, the only professional landscape architect in Lingao Building, which made Mei Wan, the chief designer, very jealous.

Since it was carefully built, no expense was spared, and the cost was about one-third of the entire house.However, Lu Xuan thought that the money was well spent. Compared with the main house, this is his headquarters.In fact, he rarely went to the main courtyard except for sleeping at night, and spent most of his time in the study.

The study room is decorated and furnished extremely delicately, using a lot of confiscated goods bought from the warehouse of the Planning Institute.At this moment, he was sitting in the study, looking at the rockery in the courtyard, flipping through the "contact map" he took out of the safe absently, but his mind was in a mess.

The "contact map" in his hand is just a thin paper folder, but it is the only result of his painstaking efforts in the big library during the past five years.

In the past, every time he took out the "contact map", he was always in a very happy mood.

What kind of patronage system are you trying to find, knight allegiance, private soldiers... Heh, the real knights are here.

Over the years he has sponsored more than a dozen trainees, most of whom have entered various government departments and the military.He has a list that makes him quite gratified.And he is still adding new names every year-this list is the capital that he can turn upside down in the Senate and even the entire empire in the future.

But now five years have passed, and the career of the Senate is making rapid progress. The Senate not only has a firm foothold in Hainan, but also has the power to dominate the crowd. Although the rule of the Senate is still rough, it is constantly learning and adapting. , becoming more and more mature, which also means that there are not many opportunities left for him to come back.

Lu Xuan’s anxiety stems from this precisely—if he can’t occupy an ideal position in the Senate and have enough political resources, it’s impossible for him to continue to control the team in his hands: he takes them in, supports them, trains them, But in the end, he must lead them to continue to rise, and provide him with a bigger platform to maintain the cohesion and centripetal force of this team, otherwise his patience and sacrifice all these years will become someone else's wedding dress, and he himself will truly fall Become a soy sauce crowd who relies on the protection of others - this is something that Lu Xuan can never see.

He began to doubt whether his current ability could support this ambition.

In the past, he had vaguely felt the strangeness of the "under the door", but he didn't take it too seriously.But today's Liu Hui's comments made him realize that the crisis of the blueprint he drew is already in sight.

His outburst to Zhang Lan and Liu Hui was not so much a release of his emotions as a deliberate beating.Both Liu Hui and Zhang Lan are his bedside people, and his status in Lujiazhuang is second only to him.They are educated and have lived in Lingao, the core area of ​​the cross-country, for many years, and their vision is much higher than that of ordinary aborigines.

They can more or less see Lu Xuan's actual living condition in the Senate.Although Lu Xuan can be regarded as the food and clothing parents of Lu Family Manor in the past few years, these people who live under his protection have grown up and matured, and being fed and clothed is no longer enough to make them feel grateful to themselves.But maintaining the current situation is the limit of Lu Xuan's ability-although more than a dozen naturalized people who have already worked have entered the system as errands, none of them have become cadres of sufficient level.Most of them are ordinary employees and workers.

Although the children he supported to go to school in Fangcaodi graduated and assigned in batches, once they entered the jurisdiction of the Human Resources Department of the People's Committee of Civil Affairs, with the current resources in Lu Xuan's hands, the future and fate of these people could not be controlled by him. that's it.

And these people brought up in Lu's village are full of longing for the world outside the village like cooking oil and flowers, and they all look eager to try. "Study literary and martial arts, and become the king's family", of course the Senate can be regarded as this "emperor", but Lu Xuan is not, and his aura of the elder is still gradually fading.

The aborigines outside the system that he originally cultivated in the village were originally intended to be used as management talents for his own business and expansion of financial resources. In other words, they were "white gloves" for him to obtain benefits in the future.

However, to do this, you must first have money, and second, you must have power.

Unfortunately, he now has neither money nor power.I have a little face, but I can only do small things.

The contracting team contracted to Zhang Youfu is inconvenient for him to take back and do it himself now: the food is too ugly, you must know that there is not a single veteran who has a serious business in his own business, even the booming Nanhai Cafe, Legally, it is not his, but the property of the Council of Agriculture.

In theory, the dividends of the veterans are very considerable.But in fact, the elders basically cannot control the dividend.The Senate implements a high accumulation policy, and the dividend accounts of the elders are actually frozen.As a patriarch, you can control only your own salary and subsidies.After the end of each fiscal year, a certain amount of cash is allowed to be withdrawn according to the currency issuance situation of the year.

That's it, the finance office is still thinking hard about "returning currency".So much so that some veterans complained that the "special supply store" in the office sells various "office special use" products that are actually the "high-end snacks" of this time and space.

Unfortunately, Lu Xuan's income is quite small among the elders.Although there is not much difference between him and other veterans in terms of salary, he is far behind in terms of allowances.After all, the work of the big library is not heavy physical labor; it does not need to face the wind and rain, the sun and the night dew, and climb mountains; and there is no danger of death anytime, anywhere in the factory or on the battlefield.Therefore, the allowance standard of the large library is calculated according to the lowest administrative post of the central authority.Because Lu Xuan often travels on a part-time job, he has the highest allowance in the entire library.

For other veterans—for example, Cheng Yuan who sat across from him, his income is actually lower than his, but he has no burden, so he can still live a comfortable life, but he can't, his family has a big business. However, the strange tax policy of the Senate further exacerbated his financial difficulties.

In fact, since last year, Lujiazhuang's finances have been in a predicament, and it was at that time that the various "rewards" for "under the door" began to have "established rules".

His own role in his official career is limited, and his financial support is weak in follow-up.People are very realistic animals, even if he has great favors to these people, when they find that the master can't bring them much benefit, the only thing left is to gradually alienate them.Along with that, even Lujiazhuang began to feel a little unstable.Especially Liu Hui—he secretly regretted that he should not have sent her to Dai Pei in the maid training class—although the modern knowledge she learned from the training class was useful to him, she was also stuffed with messy things in her head, making it difficult "Discipline".Just her relationship with other maids is a headache, God knows what she will say in front of them.

You have to beat her well again to make her fearful.He thought silently, otherwise she would be a hidden danger after all.

Of course, beating blindly can't solve the problem, the only way out is to become stronger quickly.Otherwise, his painstaking efforts over the years are not only to make wedding dresses for others, but maybe if the atmosphere of the Senate changes that day, he, a powerless and restless senior, will become the target of the Cheka, and Lujiazhuang Maybe it became the ironclad proof that he was criticized.But there is no turning back when the bow is opened, and there is no medicine for regret in the world, so he must bite the bullet and go on.

"I can't wait any longer!" Lu Xuan pushed away the public opinion analysis piled up on the table, stood up abruptly, with a dignified expression on his face.

Ding ding ding ding, the doorbell at the gate of the courtyard was rang, and no one was allowed to enter the courtyard without his order.

"What's the matter?" He asked impatiently towards the gate of the courtyard.

"Master," Zhang Lan said timidly outside the courtyard, "Sister Hui——"

"Come in and talk!"
Zhang Lan hurried in, stood in the middle of the courtyard and said: "Sister Hui fainted, fainted..."

Lu Xuan frowned: "I passed out after being hit by the board. What happened?"After the torture test just now, she could walk down and kneel while holding on to the railing, but she passed out in less than ten minutes?
"Just send her back to her room to rest."

The next day, in Yu Eshui's office, Lu Xuan sat wearily in front of Yu Eshui, with disheveled hair and a haggard look.

Yu Eshui, who is usually serious, gag, and put on a show, has long been familiar with Lu Xuan, but this is the first time he has seen Lu Xuan's decadent appearance.He asked with concern: "What's wrong? What happened?"

"Hey... I think I want to become Yang Xinwu's second, retribution! Retribution..." Lu Xuan let out a long sigh, followed by a series of wailing, which confused Yu Eshui.

"What's the matter? What is Yang Xinwu second?"

"A while ago, the case of the maid happened, and I was still laughing at him, saying that he couldn't even control a maid, and that he caused such a big trouble, it was a shame to the Senate. Unexpectedly, I myself... I became a senator myself The shame of the hospital... Retribution, retribution!"

"You talk, what shame?" Seeing Lu Xuan's sad and indignant expression, Yu Eshui asked quickly.

Seeing that Yu Eshui was not happy, Lu Xuan quickly straightened his body and said, "Make some housework. Well, you know my situation, Director Yu..."

Yu Eshui nodded again and again: "Didn't you marry the daughter of a local aborigine like Lao Xun? You have a good life."

"It's okay when I was young, but you know, I still have a life secretary—"

"Ah. Yes, yes, what's wrong with the blessing of Qiren? Not many people in the Senate have this blessing."
