"No way, Lao Qian's ambition is too big, isn't he preparing to spread military force all over the world?" Lu Xuan simply couldn't believe his reasoning, "If he succeeds in everything, then he is not General Wen and Ma Du The father-in-law becomes Stalin, and Qian Shuiting becomes the emperor. The Qian family dynasty has been passed down from generation to generation, and we people are still messing around!"
I am hiding in the big library just like this, and I am not preparing to serve as a sedan bearer for the "second generation" to take over!
"Isn't this too obvious!" Lu Xuan cursed angrily, "You think we elders are all fools!" However, he calmed down after five minutes. "Could I be overly concerned?" Because most of the people who proposed the formation of the Youth League and supported the proposal had nothing to do with the core of the Zhai Party, and could even be said to be antagonistic. It is unlikely that they will come out to carry Lao Qian's sedan chair.
He originally thought that the Youth League proposal contained a pre-arrangement by the executive committee bosses to prepare for a comeback after this storm, but now it seems that this is not the case.
I really can't understand the rhythm. Could this be Wenma's bargaining chip to bribe Qian Shuiting? Yes, it is indeed possible. But he felt it was not that simple.
His many years of experience in official circles told him that the easier it is to figure something out, the more time you have to think about it. If you still can't figure it out, just take a look and talk about it.
"Forget it, it's the weekend today. I'd better relax first." Lu Xuan stretched out and let out an earth-shattering roar. The corridor was deserted, and the door to the office opposite was closed. Today was Saturday, and Cheng Yongxin had slipped away early. He was probably either reading a book in a cafe with Nanhai Coffee or writing some manuscript...
He organized the public opinion analysis annotations and put them in the safe in the office and locked them. Then put away the various documents and books on the table. Some needed to be filed and some needed to be returned, and he sorted them one by one into various document baskets. Naturally, there were dedicated naturalized citizen staff to do these things. Soon the table was clean and tidy. This is a work habit he has developed over a long period of time. A cluttered desk filled with papers says nothing except that the person is inefficient at work.
When Liu Ziming saw Lu Xuan coming out of the library door. He had an indifferent look on his face. He hadn't seen this look for a long time. He has followed Yuan Lu for many years and knows that the darker his master's complexion, the more likely it is that his family and his sister's butts will suffer. He couldn't help but stand and listen to his orders with an attitude of utmost respect.
Lu Xuan didn't say a word when he passed by him. Liu Ziming took the briefcase quickly and handed it over: in fact, there was nothing in it except a folding umbrella brought from the old time and space, a notebook and a few pens. Lu Xuan has a strong sense of confidentiality and never takes documents or books out of the library at will.
On the way from the entrance to the library building to the main gate, Lu Xuan walked very quickly. Lu Xuan is 18cm tall, and Liu Ziming is a full head and a half shorter. In order to keep up with Lu Xuan, Liu Ziming almost trots all the way, but he always walks behind Lu Xuan on the left side and always maintains a distance of about one meter.
There was already a two-wheeled official carriage parked in the yard. This was sent by the general office based on an appointment from his secretary. The three guards, including the driver, were fully armed. Since the violent terrorist incident, the alert level has been comprehensively increased. If the elders want to leave the Green Zone, they must be equipped with security personnel. If the journey is far away, they must make an appointment to arrange an official carriage.
The three guards stood at attention and saluted simultaneously. Lu Xuan nodded gently.
Liu Ziming trotted to the carriage, opened the door, bowed and said, "Chief, get in the carriage."
This kind of official carriage has become more common recently, and Lu Xuan rarely rode in it in the past. The carriage had obviously been tidied up, but Lu Xuan could see at a glance that there were a lot of long and short hairs on the top of the backrest, which looked particularly dazzling on the goose-yellow velvet. Lu Xuan suddenly felt dizzy. He even smelled the disgusting smells of people like Ming Lang, Cheng Yongxin, and Mu Min.
He sat down on the cushion. Liu Ziming closed the car door. He climbed into the back seat of the car and huddled with the guards on board. He said to the driver: "Go to Zhangjiazhuang!"
Zhangjiazhuang is Lu Xuan's "outer home". Legally speaking. This is his wife's house. Yes, he has a wife. Like Xun Suji in the food factory, he married the daughter of a local aborigine.
Zhangjiazhuang was actually the property of his father-in-law. His father-in-law is the brother of Zhang Youfu, a well-known current council member in Lingao, and he is also a "landlord". However, this landowner's life is quite miserable. Although he has three or four tenant households who share the land, he still has to work in the fields himself during the busy farming season - otherwise, only part of his land will be left uncultivated. Even if the wife dies, she won’t renew the relationship: she doesn’t have the spare money to pay a bride price.
The marriage with the senator was a good deal in his opinion. First of all, he had the backing of the Senate. Secondly, the Tiandihui had already made a name for itself at that time. By marrying the senator, he became one of the Senate's "own people" and the Tiandihui. Naturally, you have to look at your own family in a different light.
Therefore, when Lu Xuan came to the Zhang family as an agricultural technology trainer and clearly showed his affection for his big-footed daughter, the marriage was easily settled.
It is said to be Zhangjiazhuang, but it is actually just a courtyard house. Its location is beyond the third ring road of Dongmen City, and is strictly speaking a suburban location. Even the road in front of the door is dirt. It is surrounded by fields and woods. Coupled with the dazzling new brick walls and black painted door, it looks like a rural upstart.
The courtyard faces north and south, and the front door completely conforms to the architectural style of this time and space. The main entrance has no sign or plaque. It is roughly similar to the residences of local gentry, but the walls and rooms are much higher. The biggest difference is that there is an extra side door without a threshold next to the main entrance, which is convenient for carriages to enter and exit. Zhuangzi has three entrances from the front and back, making it a relatively large-scale house in the area.
Since he married this indigenous wife, the Zhang family has become prosperous. As I watched, a low three-bay straw-roofed stone house was renovated into five large tile-roofed houses. The courtyard that was originally fenced with reeds was turned into a brick and stone fence.
Although Lu Xuan is a soy sauce veteran, he does not necessarily have no power. The advantage of working in a big library is that people ask him to do things everywhere: applications for searching information are queued up, and who handles them first and who handles them later are all in the hands of him, the director of general affairs - only those with power can rent, This is a truth known to everyone in the old days. Lu Xuan does not use this to gain access to cards, but to build good relationships and appear to be enthusiastic about helping others. Therefore, it has a very good reputation among various departments. Moreover, the temporary job that he applied everywhere gave him the opportunity to get to know the elders. So as long as he opens his mouth, as long as he doesn't violate the general principles, it will be easy to get things done.
The way he found a fortune for the Zhang family was not through farming or doing business. Instead, it undertakes projects. Of course, both the old man of the Zhang family and the uncle of the Zhang family are farmers. Although they cannot lay bricks and raise beams, they can still dig holes and carry earth. Therefore, the old man of the Zhang family came forward and organized the male and female laborers from his relatives and tenant households to form a contracting team to contract earthwork for infrastructure construction.
Relying on the success of Gao Construction Company's large-scale construction projects in recent years, the Zhang family contractor team's business has grown bigger and bigger, and the whole family is even more respectful to him. Lu Xuan also has a modern concept of business accounting, and often gives advice. Second, the family is getting more prosperous. The houses are getting better and better, and they are getting bigger and bigger.
Unexpectedly, within two or three years of prosperity, accidents would happen one after another on the construction site: the old man of the Zhang family suddenly fell off the scaffolding and died unexpectedly at night; within a few months, the axle of the oxcart transporting earthwork broke and rolled over, and the brother-in-law and his wife were killed. He was crushed and died on the spot.
Lu Xuan, the son-in-law, naturally became the owner of Zhangjiazhuang. People in the Zhang family clan do not take it "for granted", so daughters and sons-in-law have no inheritance rights according to the patriarchal clan. However, Lu Xuan is a patriarch, and no one dares to discuss clan issues with him, although it is inevitable that some people will whisper behind their backs that the Zhang family and his son are "dead" Weird.” Of course, none of these people could provide any evidence. When the unfortunate guy who was most keen to talk about this matter was sent to the labor camp on the charge of "slandering the elders", the rumors completely disappeared.
In order to avoid suspicion, he subcontracted the prosperous contracting team to Zhang Youfu in the name of his wife, and instead received a contracting fee of 20% of the annual after-tax profit. He also leased all the Zhang family’s original fields to the Tiandihui in an all-inclusive model. Naturally, there is also a need for "renovation and innovation" in the home. In addition to its name, it is also called "Zhangjiazhuang", but it is actually "Lujiazhuang".
The annual "contracting fees" paid by the engineering team and the Tiandi Society enabled him to continue to renovate the village. In this way, Zhuangzi continued to build it intermittently for three or four years. It was not until last year that the third courtyard was built and it became the current scale. The wall of Zhuangzi is six meters long, and the second and third rows of main houses are built into two-story buildings. Apart from a few pergolas and a few saplings, there is no other landscape in the yard. Although it also has double-cornered cornices, green tiles and red bricks, But compared with other mansions built one after another in Dongmen City, it seems extremely ordinary.
At this moment, the atmosphere in "Lujiazhuang" was extremely depressing.
When Liu Ziming shouted "Master is back!", all the servants in the house who were performing their duties immediately came out and stood in the yard to wait on him.
Lu Xuan got off the carriage, looked at the yard, and let out a soft "hum" from the end of his nose. The people around him suddenly bent their waists a little more.
Everyone in the village knew that Chief Lu, who usually seemed very kind, was actually a very difficult person to serve. Once he got angry, the offender would suffer an extremely horrific fate. Even if Liu Ziming, who was following behind, didn't wink, they could tell from Chief Lu's cold expression that the Chief was in a bad mood today, and no one wanted to get into trouble. They all held their breaths and bowed their heads. . (To be continued ~^~)
