When Cheng Dali, the new county magistrate of Heihuo County, took two guards and rode bicycles to Laoliuzhuang, Lu Ming was at Old Man Liu’s house in the village, listening to Old Man Liu telling the legend of Heihuo County.
It is said that thousands of years ago, this was the land of black fire hell. The people here did something wrong. Black fire fell from the sky and burned no grass here. The **** fire burned for several years before it gradually subsided. Today, the residents here , were all later immigrants, from which Blackfire County got its name.
In the fenced courtyard of Old Uncle Liu’s house, Lu Ming sat on a wooden pillar and listened patiently to Old Uncle Liu’s stories.
The old man in his sixties has a stooped back, deep folds on his face, and his cloudy eyes are so deep that they cannot be seen. He is extremely old. In Lu Ming’s previous life, there were very few old men in their seventies or eighties. So senile.
Old man Liu was also a little confused and told stories in a confused manner. Next to him, his eldest son Liu Yigou had deep worries in his eyes, but he did not dare to interrupt.
“Old man, I see you are tired too, go and have a rest!” Lu Ming smiled and said to Liu Yigou: “Help your father back to the house, I have worked hard today.”
Liu Yigou was relieved and hurriedly helped his father back to the thatched house with his mother-in-law Wang. Although Wang was standing tremblingly, she became impatient with her husband and scolded him when he entered the thatched house. A few words to my father-in-law.
The couple quickly turned around. They were both in their early forties, but Liu Yigou was already slightly hunched over. He had a typical figure of an old farmer under the weight of farm work. Wang was a swarthy peasant woman. Both of them looked numb and confused. Standing in front of the thatched house with a little fear, it is a picture of a farmer in the old society.
“Well, take those things in!” Lu Ming pointed to the four-color gifts on the side, snacks, wine, candies and cans. Because there was no place to put them, they could only put them on the ground temporarily.
“Although the environment at home is not good, I still do my best to support my old father.” Standing in the farmyard, Lu Ming was full of emotion. It is such families that form a vast rural area. What he can bring Do they really need change?
At this time, Hong Ling hurriedly came to report that the commissioner of the county office had arrived at the village and asked if he had seen the owner.
Lu Ming looked at Liu Yigou and Wang and smiled: “I’m leaving.” He patted Liu Yigou on the shoulder and said, “Be filial to the old man.”
Liu Yigou bent down in fear, “Yes, yes.”
As soon as Lu Ming and his party walked out of the fenced courtyard, Mrs. Wang over there could not wait to pick up the four-color snacks and look through them as if they were treasures.
Outside, several figures were approaching in a hurry, led by a young man in his early twenties, Cheng Dali, the commissioner of the county office.
The two guards behind him were stopped because they were far away because they were carrying box cannons.
“Commissioner!” Cheng Dali rushed over excitedly.
Lu Ming smiled and reached out to shake his hand, “Now you are also a commissioner! You are making rapid progress!”
Cheng Dali was a little embarrassed, “I’m just pretending.”
Lu Ming had met this young man when he was suppressing bandits in Wanzhou. At that time, he was a member of the armed working team of Dahuling Township. After spending several months together, I became very familiar with him.
It seems that he was selected as a reserve cadre. After a year of emergency training, he successfully entered the Westward Cadre Corps.
The Westward Cadre Corps came to Anshan to recruit cadre candidates for various administrative agencies.
“Captain Miao, ah, it’s Commissioner Miao. I heard you’re here and asked me to salute you on her behalf!” Cheng Dali said, snapping to attention.
Lu Ming knew that he was talking about Miao Hongmei, the captain of the Dahuling Township Armed Work Team, a very cheerful and capable man.
He was also appointed as the commissioner of the Dolesan City Office in Yanzhou among the cadres heading west.
The formation of the Westward Expansion Cadre Group was ultimately signed by oneself.
Although most of the league members themselves took a brief look at it, the commissioners of each city and county office naturally looked at their files in detail, so they still looked at the appointments of old friends such as Cheng Dali and Miao Hongmei. In the eyes.
“Dali, how is the transformation of the old patrol policemen in Heihuo County now?” Lu Ming asked, “Why don’t we have to train police officers from the base area? And for the profession of patrol police, it is better for locals to be familiar with the local area.”
When talking about business, Cheng Dali looked serious, “It’s very difficult, I have to take my time! I didn’t retain anyone from the old police station, they were all new young people recruited, but many people have concerns, and they have the confidence to go out and take care of things. Not enough. ”
Lu Ming thought: “In two days, a judicial police platoon will **** the judge over, right? You guys cooperate well and pass one or two cases. After one or two, the situation will be much better.”
“Understood!” Cheng Dali nodded.
Lu Ming smiled again: “I’ve been here recently, so you might as well set off your firecrackers a little bigger, so as not to stir up a hornet’s nest.”
Cheng Dali gritted his teeth and said, “Okay!”
Lu Ming looked to the north, “According to the latest intelligence, the cavalry division of Ma Quanyou Department in Northern Xinjiang has arrived in Gongyang. It’s very fast. There is still something in Northern Xinjiang. Don’t blame the Haixi Army supported by the Japanese. Be able to compete without falling behind.”
“If Ma Quanyou’s troops go south, it will be Songshan Road adjacent to us. According to the original strategy, we do not want to enter Songshan Road, but it will serve as a buffer zone between the expanding forces in northern Xinjiang and also towards northern Xinjiang. I have expressed relevant wishes. The brigade commander of Songshan Road, An Benxi, is a good friend of our Tangyang brigade commander An Dashun, and they are inclined to exist as our friendly forces. However, I think that the Ma Quan Friendship Department may not abide by the agreement we have reached with Northern Xinjiang. ”
“So Dali, you must also be prepared. You may have to go jungle with me to see how sharp the Ma Jiajun, who is known to come and go like the wind, is.” Lu Ming said with a smile.
Cheng Dali became excited: “Okay, let’s take those little **** to see the world. Their courage will become bigger and they won’t be afraid of this master or that master anymore!”
The armed working team once followed “Commissioner Zhang” to fight, entering the Shibaguaizi Cave three times, winning three battles and three victories, and defeated the Haixi bandits. Those battles left an unforgettable memory in the hearts of Cheng Dali and other team members. Destroying shock.
In Cheng Dali’s view, the regular brigade of the Black Mountain Corps was invincible, let alone Commissioner Zhang’s elite men.
So, even if he had just recruited a patrol team of dozens of people, he would dare to take them out. Anyway, it would be just soy sauce and follow the baptism of war.
When it comes to handling the affairs of the county office, it would be more satisfying to let him lead dozens of armed forces to fight.
Lu Ming looked at him and smiled: “Don’t forget your job. You have a different status now. But, the Westward Cadre Group is all cadres who can fight. Otherwise, we wouldn’t dare to bring a few guards. To take over the political power of a place, I have high expectations for you.”
He also said: “If the patrol team of dozens of people really listens to your command, you will be able to master this small Heihuo County. Even the things you do in the future will be civilian jobs. You have to be patient and deal with all kinds of trivial matters. What does the manual you learned say?”
Cheng Dali smiled naively, “I’m embarrassed to tell you this. I’m afraid you’ll laugh at me.”
Lu Ming smiled and said: “It doesn’t matter, let’s talk about it, how do you want to be the county magistrate?”
Cheng Dali put away his smile and said, “It’s different from the previous county magistrates. If I can do it, I won’t hire anyone. The institutions we set up must be as streamlined as possible. We just use local taxes to support public officials. Let’s think about local taxes.” Take it easy, if you have enough money to build infrastructure, you will definitely not be able to support too many public officials through taxes.”
Lu Ming nodded: “That’s it. Having more public officials is certainly good for stability, but they are afraid of falling into an increasingly bloated cycle. People at the bottom will not work but consume social resources. The people at the bottom There is always a limit to how much wealth can be created and how many people can support it. If this balance is not good, it will easily collapse in the event of natural or man-made disasters.”
“Actually, as you are in power, you still need to be restrained by public opinion representatives or parliament. But in Anshan, we can only talk about it later. For now, we still rely on you to govern by people. Whether it is easy or not Well, I can only rely on your ability and character. In addition, the local judges who are completely different from you are also a check and balance for you officials.” As he spoke, Lu Ming laughed at himself, “It seems weird. Yes, I said these words out of emotion, but they are not aimed at you. It makes me and you the opposite, and I think you are guilty of original sin. However, a good system must presuppose everyone as a bad person. Only with such a charter and transparent supervision can the real bad guys be restrained and the good guys not go astray.”
Cheng Dali smiled dryly as if he didn’t understand, and didn’t know what to say.
White Narcissus, who has been following Lu Ming, also brought four-color snacks. At this time, her beautiful eyes were shining, and she didn’t know what she was thinking.
Lu Ming looked at his watch and said with a smile: “Dali, stay for dinner and meet the experts from the East China Sea.”
……
A round table was set up near the RV, with simple benches. There were four dishes and one soup on the table, and the portions were very generous. It could feed seven or eight people without any problem, and there were drinks and so on.
Cheng Dali seemed even more reserved in front of the experts and intellectuals from the East China Sea.
The exploration team consisted of more than thirty people and was divided into several groups. Each group was followed by a guard squad.
Still at the “headquarters” are three older professors. The leader is Professor Li Bohai, an old man in his seventies, but still going strong. He is also one of the most famous geological experts in the empire. The students go down to do their work. , if you really find any clues, you have to ask Professor Li and others to make a final decision.
Lu Ming really doesn’t have 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 like nonsense, many folk legends actually have their roots. It was only at that time that people had difficulty understanding some natural phenomena, so they recorded them in the form of myths.
Professor Li also agreed with this and praised Lu Ming very much.
“Commissioner Zhang, the farmers in the Northern Territory are really miserable. Before I came here, it was unimaginable. You said that the traffic here is blocked and the land is barren. You are here, but the ruler has changed. Can it change? I think It’s difficult!” Professor Li sighed softly.
Cheng Dali frowned at the side, no matter how hard he heard these words.
Especially this Professor Li, when talking about General Lu, they are all “Lu Ming” and “Lu Ming”. If it weren’t for the fact that Commissioner Zhang respects these old men, who cares if he is not a professor? I should have reprimanded them already.
Lu Ming nodded and said: “I don’t dare to say anything about changes. Let’s take it slow. But I think each province plans a fertilizer factory, organizes manpower to repair canals, dig wells, and slowly increase its food output. If It’s just about providing food and clothing for most people. It should be possible in time, right? Of course, I’m just talking on paper. There will definitely be problems of one kind or another in implementation. General Lu requires that in our controlled areas in Ansan, we must ensure the execution of all levels of government. That is to say, the temporary non-implementation of democratically elected government and the absence of parliament to restrict the executive are all for the purpose of concentrating efforts on work.” Looking at Cheng Dali, “In terms of implementation, we should try to streamline public officials as much as possible, but we still have to rely on the people to mobilize the people. How to mobilize the people? It depends on your ability!”
Cheng Dali nodded silently, digesting Commissioner Zhang’s words.
Over there, Professor Li nodded thoughtfully and said, “Perhaps Mr. Lu Ming is right. In today’s Anshan, only a centralized planned economy can truly develop.”
Lu Ming smiled and said: “Professor Li should have ‘but’ and ‘but’, right?”
Professor Li smiled happily and said, “Yes, I want to say that, but if you say you want to build a fertilizer plant here, you must also have a power plant, other types of factories, etc. These investments will be obvious in the short term. There is not much profit, and it is far inferior to transporting fertilizers from other places and dumping them. Of course, in that case, the price of fertilizers is very high, and only a small number of landowners can afford it, but Mr. Lu Ming can make more money, but According to Mr. Lu Ming’s plan, it is obvious that he does not want to quench his thirst with poison and fish from the lake. Instead, he wants to gradually improve the lives of the people here, and the tax revenue will be high, and it will enter a virtuous cycle. But that requires initial investment, let’s talk about factories, where is the initial investment. Come?”
“If agriculture is used to subsidize industry, how much food will the villagers here have to use in exchange for a set of factory equipment? It is estimated that a generation will have to suffer!” Professor Li’s eyes flickered, “But think about it, it is worth it, right? ”
Lu Ming smiled: “We are backed by the Eastern Alliance, so there is no need to have a complete industrial system in Anshan. In the short term, the main thing is to plan enterprises that are helpful to agricultural development. General Lu will fight for the Eastern Alliance We, the Eastern Alliance, have the obligation to assist poor members, otherwise, General Lu will probably sue this organization in the East China Sea Court!”
Professor Li was stunned, then laughed: “Yes, Mr. Lu Ming, well, General Lu Ming, can do such a thing, he is a very interesting person!”
Lu Ming said: “Of course, these cannot solve the fundamental problem.” His eyes flashed, “In the next year, most of the powerful people here will be overthrown. Their assets will be enough for the construction of the factory.”
Professor Li was silent and sighed softly: “Any real change will be bloody, otherwise it will not be able to change the nature of a society. General Lu Ming is a master of all three of them!”
Lu Ming picked up the juice and took a sip, “If the initiators are comforting themselves for this **** and cruel revolution, it is the powerful people in Anshan who are greedy to plunder the people’s wealth and carry out the work in a lawless state. Therefore, to get rid of these people, public prosecution will still be adopted in Anshan, and the courts will be used to conduct trials. The evidence will be collected very fully. After decades or hundreds of years, at least they will not be so criticized. Criticism.”
Professor Li was silent for a while, then picked up the juice, “General Lu Ming is a strange man, his merits and demerits can only be judged by future generations!” He raised the juice cup and touched Lu Ming lightly, “Thank you, Commissioner Zhang and Having said this, we wish General Lu Ming a safe future and that he can reach his utopia!”
Everyone, including Bai Narcissus, raised their glasses. Lu Ming was stunned for a while, then raised his glasses and touched them gently.
……
After taking a bath and drinking a cup of tea, Lu Ming had just returned to the bedroom when there was a knock on the door outside.
Although the RV bedroom is very small, you can still find this kind of accommodation in the countryside. The interior is extremely clean and tidy, just like a smaller version of a hotel suite. The snow-white bed is as soft as clouds, which is unimaginable for ordinary people.
The person who knocked on the door was Bai Narcissus. She had obviously just taken a bath. Lu Ming also saw her entering the bathroom while he was sipping tea.
The pretty face is lightly painted with powder, the long wet black hair is pulled up into a flower-like bun, the soft yellow satin pajamas and pajamas, a pair of tiny feet as charming as frost and snow, and embroidered soft slippers, are so charming. things.
“Master, I heard what I said today. I don’t know why, but I can’t sleep. I have a lot to say. General Lu, as Professor Li said, is really a hero in this world. He will bring about great situations and great changes…” Bai Narcissus Her beautiful eyes were full of yearning, and her voice was so soft and charming, just like the chant of an immortal.
Lu Ming smiled and said: “As a result, my Lord sent you to me, so are you very sorry now?”
Bai Narcissus shook his head gently: “No, what the master is thinking is also different from the people I have met before. General Lu is illusory, but the master is a heroic figure living in the world. The slave concubine is with the master. Around me, I felt enlightened. My previous life was all in vain. A man like this master…”
The delicate and beautiful body full of timidity and amorous feelings has gently come to Lu Ming’s side. The fragrance of pink and pink is astonishing, and Lu Ming’s heart is slightly shaken.
“Master, Master…” Bai Narcissus murmured softly, and slowly snuggled into Lu Ming’s arms. With her pretty face and red lips, she gently kissed Lu Ming’s chin and neck… and her red lips whispered in Lu Ming’s ear. He murmured, “Master…” The hot and humid breath and gentle gasping were soul-stirring.
Lu Ming was slightly drunk, and he felt the softness and tingling where this delicate beauty’s ecstasy little mouth pecked, and the little fragrant snake moved lightly, licking the bones and tendons, all the way down…
