There is a breakfast stall outside the Sansha Town District Office.
In more than a month, the district offices, courts, etc. have been built. They are all one-story buildings. If there are enough manpower, the speed will be very fast.
The small square outside the district office now has a strong atmosphere of life. There is a morning market in the morning, and there are several stalls selling breakfast.
Lu Ming is currently eating fried dough sticks and drinking tofu at a breakfast stall. Although fried food is not good for health, Lu Ming's mouth has always followed his stomach, and he can eat whatever he wants.
As for today's crowd, miners and the like, those fried dough sticks are a good thing and they only come here for a meal once in a while. After all, in the countryside, there is not enough oily food. However, the miner base is large and there is only one fried dough stick stall, so the business is very good every day.
Lu Ming returned to Sansha Town last night because he received a notice that Commander Hu, the head of the Heishan Mining Bureau, would come to Xiping District to inspect the Sansha, Jingyang and other mines today or tomorrow.
Lu Ming thought about it, it would be nice to meet him once.
In the past few days, Commander Hu had caused many things, and he had used many tricks to resolve them.
The situation is also a mess.
In the Zuodun Mine, there were disputes with the minority shareholders, and there was also a lawsuit with the minority shareholders over the ownership of tens of thousands of acres of land owned by the Xu family.
In the urban area of Heishan, Liu Hanhuan and others are suing the Heishan Mining Bureau on behalf of the Longgang Construction Committee, demanding that it return the funds earmarked for local construction costs to the local government.
In Longgang, Er Zeng was arrested. The county office wanted to prosecute Er Zeng, and Er Zeng complained to the city. Now the Heishan City Administrative Office has issued a special document stating that it will send an investigation team to investigate the matter. It is also stated clearly that before this, any agency in the Longgang County Office is not allowed to characterize the behavior of brothers Zeng Xiangfan and Zeng Xiangchen.
In Sansha Town, there was an incident of Lao Jackal escaping from prison, and the Municipal Administrative Office also sent a special investigation team to investigate.
In short, multiple lines of fire merged and it was extremely chaotic.
I was thinking about these things in my mind. I have never been so confused since I came to this world.
But almost alone, I came to a land dominated by interest groups. Nowadays, there are many comings and goings, and the future can be considered promising.
Thinking about it, Lu Ming smiled, glanced at Yaya beside him, and felt inexplicably comfortable.
Yaya was biting her pacifier and drinking milk.
In fact, country children, even those from families like my ex-sister-in-law He Mojun, are not so particular.
Although Yaya is only three years old, her grandmother usually feeds her everything, not to mention soy milk and fried dough sticks. The fried dough sticks will be chewed up and fed to her.
But she couldn't come to the breakfast stall with Lu Ming. Lu Ming brought her milk to drink, and she wasn't allowed to touch the fried dough sticks.
The little guy was holding the bottle and biting the pacifier. He looked at the fried dough sticks in front of Lu Ming and was very unhappy.
Lu Ming smiled to himself. She had always been able to do anything in front of him. This was one of the reasons why she liked him. As a child, sometimes she just liked relatives who didn't care about her and just doted on her.
In fact, what this relative does may not be for your benefit.
Now, it was the first time that she was being disciplined in front of her "third uncle".
Suddenly, Lu Ming noticed that when the man frying fried dough sticks opposite him looked towards him, besides smiling apologetically, there was also a faint "resentment" in his eyes.
Lu Ming smiled: "Old Wei, I'm sorry for occupying your table today!"
Indeed, although the deep-fried dough sticks are only available at this one stall, there are obviously more people at other breakfast stalls today.
In fact, Lu Ming realized something was wrong as soon as he came to the breakfast stall and sat down, because the two men who were eating fried dough sticks sitting across from him hurriedly swallowed the soup in the bowl, took the fried dough sticks and left quickly.
And not to mention the table where I sit now, there are fewer people coming to buy youtiao at the youtiao stall. The occasional one will buy youtiao and leave in a hurry.
I originally wanted to chat and build friendship with the miners and villagers who came to have breakfast.
But nowadays, the class gap between people may be substantially similar to that in their previous lives. But on the surface, the class gap between different levels is huge today. In previous lives, at least the education they received from childhood, etc., will make people feel less burdened. Even if the other person is rich and I don’t ask you for help, then you and I are equal.
Things are different now, especially in Jiangning Province, where it is completely impossible for different classes to sit together and enjoy themselves.
The old man frying fried dough sticks over there was startled when he heard Lu Ming's words. He quickly smiled and said, "Master, don't say that."
The entire Sansha Town relies on Mr. Lu for food. The miners' families are directly the workers of Mr. Lu's family. Whether it is other businessmen or traffickers, it is also because of the wages of many miners that Sansha Town can be formed. Lao Wei doesn’t understand the professional terminology of the consumer chain, but he understands the underlying principles.
Master Lu apologized to him, which really shocked him.
Lu Ming smiled again and said: "In this way, I understand your psychology. I am not only affecting your business today, but also affecting your future business. For example, if you originally like to drink tofu noodle, but there is no seat today, you can go I went to the next door to drink porridge, and then I felt that it was more comfortable to drink porridge. From now on, I would come here less often or even not at all. This is all my influence."
"That's not bad, that's not bad..." Lao Wei hurriedly apologized. Indeed, today's short time will not cause such long-term effects. If the stall is really closed for a few days, there will definitely be such long-term effects.
"Let's do it this way. You can spread the word later. I really like your fried dough sticks. I don't think you're talking big words. It doesn't matter if you spread them to my ears. Originally, I wanted to shout a few times before leaving, but when I thought about it, our small town is... I can't treat these breakfast stalls favorably and cause bad business for others, right?"
Lao Wei was already overjoyed, "Thank you, master, thank you, master, you are truly a living Buddha..." He was choked up, a little hypocritical, and a little genuinely touched. He didn't expect that Mr. Lu would think so much about his little stall.
Lu Ming had swallowed the last bite of the fried dough sticks and drank a few more sips of the soy milk in the bowl. As soon as he put down the bowl, a snow-white handkerchief was handed to him.
Lu Ming waved his hand, then took back the handkerchief. Qiaoying, who gave it to him, went to the fried dough sticks boss and got some pieces of straw paper for wrapping fried dough sticks.
Lu Ming took over to wipe his hands. In an era without wet wipes, it would be too exaggerated to say that he would wipe his oiled hands with a new handkerchief, especially if he used it himself, he would be afraid of throwing it away after just one use.
Then just do as the Romans do. The straw paper is good, but in reality it’s your own. Others won’t be willing to use the straw paper just for wiping their hands.
After taking a look at the new follower, I have to say that in this regard, the new follower is much more considerate than Hei Tou. After all, Hei Tou is a combatant. Before being sold, he was a quasi-member of the bodyguard of a chief in Nanyang and was in training. Preparatory staff.
The new follower was Nishimiya who was thrust into his side.
Madam Liuli stayed at the Bieyuan in Zuodun Town, saying that her final breakthrough was imminent. During this period, her feet were in severe pain even after taking a few steps, so she could only practice in seclusion first. She expected to be able to get through this in eight days. period of time.
Eight days later, it was May 18th, exactly one month before my birthday.
It's a coincidence again, but I'm already numb, but it's fine if she doesn't follow me, out of sight, out of mind.
Then Mrs. Liuli recommended a Qing'e, saying that she would serve her on her behalf.
She had a vague idea that since she was surrounded by people from the Baozhu Palace, she had to do her best, saying that taking care of her master's chores should have been her responsibility in the Liuli Palace.
Thinking about it, Lu Ming looked at the pretty figure that had retreated to Hei Tou's side. She was a very charming girl, a bit like a weakened version of Liuli, not as beautiful and charming as Liuli, but taken alone, she was also a great beauty. Moreover, she was dressed very modernly, in a snow-white women's suit and stiletto heels.
According to what Mrs. Liuli said, Qing'e can dress up in a traditional way or keep up with the times, it just depends on the master's needs.
As for Qing'e, named Yuluan, she is extremely powerful in combat. The stiletto heels are also one of her weapons. They can be inserted directly into the throat to kill people. She is also very good at using firearms.
Madam Liuli said that after meeting her, she gained a breakthrough in her secret skills and taught her skills, so the fighting skills of these Qing'e also improved to a higher level.
She even said that Yuluan, as the strongest fighting expert in the Thirty-six Qing'e, might not be able to defeat Uncle Sun if there were two or three of them.
Lu Ming didn't know whether what she said was true or not, so he just listened to it.
Liuli also talked about a pair of little sword maids. Before she could finish her words, Lu Ming had already waved his hand. If this continued, he would not be able to go out in the future.
Looking at it now, Yuluan is really discerning. After taking it with her, she felt very comfortable. The original thought of finding an excuse to make her go back to Liuli was gone.
However, the number of people accompanying him is growing day by day, and it is no longer consistent with his own identity, so he needs to streamline it later.
Holding Yaya's hand, she wandered around with random thoughts as she walked, then went to the morning market and chatted with the vendors.
After leaving the morning market, Lu Ming sighed softly.
In the eyes of these Sansha people, they are the food, clothing, and parents of the entire Sansha Town. The feeling that comes to them when talking to them is very fresh. Thousands of people in this area are just like their own citizens, and they all I hope that if a good man like myself can rule in Sansha Town forever, then their lives will get better and better.
The total number of employees in our companies across the country would be in the tens of thousands, but that was the feeling of employees and bosses, which was completely different from today's feeling.
"The Rebirth of Financial Giants"
The red sun rises into the sky, and the morning light gradually dissipates.
Lu Ming picked up Yaya and walked on the bluestone brick road. The shops on both sides seemed to have more varieties than two months ago. There was also a store specializing in selling stationery supplies. Naturally, this was because the Sansha Primary School building was also overbuilt. Eight, this is to seize the opportunity.
"Master, master..." A peasant woman hurriedly ran over, it was Mrs. Zhang, out of breath, "Sister-in-law Wei is causing trouble..."
Lu Ming was startled: "Where is it?" No matter what happened, it was Zhang's narrative ability that had to be honed for a long time.
Wei's wife is the legacy of Wei San. After Lu Ming and other troops left Sansha, Wei's wife and Zhang Agou's wife, Zhang's wife, looked at the Lu family's house together.
"Here, at the door of the master's back house..." Mrs. Zhang said anxiously.
Lu Ming made a gesture and walked that way.
As Mrs. Zhang walked, she said that there was a pervert named Liu in the city's investigation team to investigate Lao Jackal's escape from prison.
They said he was a pervert because he entered a prostitute on the first day he came here.
In Sansha Town, there are also miners from out of town who have not yet started a family. Gradually, there is also a prostitute house. It is actually a private house. There are two out of town peasant women in their 40s and 50s who are in the flesh business.
The town is only so small, so the women often keep an eye on who comes in and out of the brothels, and the out-of-town miners don't care about this either.
But the pervert from the investigation team who came down from the city probably didn’t expect that the so-called secret prostitution parlor here would be in such a state. He probably also imagined that he was a pretty and inexperienced little girl from the countryside, so he came out immediately after entering, but he had been arrested long ago. People saw it and spread the word immediately.
Even this person didn't know what to do with him so early in the morning. Mrs. Zhang's words were vulgar, saying that he was "so excited that he couldn't sleep."
Then, Mrs. Wei happened to open the back door to pour swill, which seemed to have splashed a little on him, so he refused to reason with Mrs. Wei and demanded compensation.
In Mrs. Zhang's words, "I don't think the little widow can bear it, so she talks to him so much!"
After the Commissioner Liu started to move, Mrs. Wei yelled, and Mrs. Zhang came out and beat Commissioner Liu hard with a stick, knocking him down and attracting a patrol from the town police station. , Sister-in-law Zhang ran out to find the master when she saw something happened.
The leader of the investigation team from the city is the commissioner, and the team members are all special commissioners. It sounds like a big name.
Lu Ming was speechless as he listened. No matter what, even if there was trouble, it was Sister Zhang who should be in trouble. Why did Sister Wei become the troublemaker?
As they were talking, they soon arrived at the back alley of Lu's house. When people watching the excitement saw Lu Ming coming, they hurriedly made way for a passage.
There were three or two patrolmen in black uniforms at the back door of the house, and one of them was about to put handcuffs on Mrs. Wei.
There was even an arrogant fat white man who scolded the patrolmen, "If you don't say that all the gangsters you have obtained can be let go by you, you are a bunch of cowards!"
"Wait a minute!" Heitou shouted, then stepped aside, and Lu Ming walked over.
"Master Lu!" The patrol officer was led by the deputy director of the police station, Ma Xiaowu. When he saw Lu Ming, he came up with a smile. He was the fifth among the eight kings under Shen Qing. Now Shen Qing is the director of the police station. Ma Xiaowu is the deputy director.
"What's going on?" Lu Ming asked.
Ma Xiaowu whispered: "Don't be offended, Mr. Lu. I just want to take Sister Wei back and ask her casually. Didn't Sister Wei beat a special commissioner to a bloody head? Commissioner Li happened to be nearby. The younger one also has to do some work, take him back and ask questions, I will find a way to settle the matter."
Lu Ming's brows had long been frowned.
Blackhead immediately sneered: "Bullshit, my master has traveled from the East China Sea to the Western Regions, from Nanyang to the south of the Yangtze River. No matter how powerful he is, who dares to come and arrest the people in my master's private house?! You, Ma Xiaowu, have eaten mad dog meat? What commissioner, What kind of special commissioner, a bunch of shit! You, Ma Xiaowu, have eaten mad dog meat, but you dare to arrest my master’s people, but you are like their grandson? Shen Qing is blind, and you are asked to be his deputy? Are you a fool? Shit! Get out of here! , Want to arrest someone?! Bring official documents!" A mouthful of saliva was spat in front of Ma Xiaowu's feet.
In front of these many people, as well as the neighbors, Ma Xiaowu's face turned blue and white after being scolded. He gritted his teeth and spoke louder: "I want to take Mrs. Wei back to assist in the investigation! Commissioner Liu Te who was injured also Identify, Mrs. Wei is the one who beat the person!"
The black head sneered, "You said you could bring people to assist you in your work, but what kind of handcuffs? Who are you going to put handcuffs on? Now, don't even think about taking people away! You want to be a human being, the person who should be the master of my family. Now you want to be a dog? That is also my master’s dog! You are really confused and you are not clear about this matter? Who are you?! What about the pervert named Liu? He intends to rape women, why don’t you To arrest?! Not to investigate?!”
"Hey, you, I've seen it all. No wonder the bandit leader was kidnapped here. I think he has entered the bandit's den!" Over there, the fat Commissioner Li sneered and said: "Ma Xiaowu, these Why don't you arrest people who obstruct the work of the police?"
