Longgang's passenger railway planning is proceeding in an orderly manner, and land acquisition has now begun.
The plan to expand the freight railway has entered the construction stage.
Lu Ming was still very satisfied with Master Gong's efficiency.
The scene at the Jiuzhou Iron and Steel construction site on the outskirts of Longgang County was completely different from when Lu Ming left. There were already buildings gradually emerging.
…
Ten Mile Villa.
In the study room on the mountainside, shaded by green trees, outside the window, monkeys were chirping and jumping between the trees.
In the study, Lu Ming followed Hei Tou, jumping from word to word.
During the trip to the western Milton State and Houseville Peninsula, Lu Ming's biggest feeling was that he had to hurry up on his study of Western literature, otherwise it would be inconvenient to go to the western part of the country, the imperial capital, etc.
However, Heitou is really not a good teacher. She mainly tells herself what is right and wrong. She neither dares to praise nor criticize. It is even obvious that she is working very hard to manage her expression and teach herself, the master, how to treat her. It's really a torture.
Lu Ming's eyes glanced at Liuli, who was sitting in the corner and sipping tea. Her pretty face had a somewhat complicated expression, and her natural charm seemed to have diminished a lot, and she looked preoccupied.
Lu Ming felt a little pity in his heart. This little beauty who acted like a coquettish girl all day long must have suffered a major blow last night.
In fact, I didn't mean it that way, but for her, it might be a wrong idea, and it might even be an identity crisis or an existential crisis for her.
When I arrived in Longgang the day before yesterday, I naturally had to go around various industries and meet with Master Gong and other important subordinates.
Last night, when I returned to Shilipu Villa, this little beauty was extremely excited. As soon as I returned to the bedroom, she followed him and acted like a baby.
Who could bear to sit in her arms?
In fact, when I came back to Longgang, I also thought about my relationship with Liuli. Indeed, being with her makes people feel different from ordinary impulses. It's really alluring.
But I always feel that something is not right, because unlike Hanzhu and Pamela, I can say that there is no emotion at all with her, not even the feeling of family members, but only the original desires of men and women.
This relationship feels a bit deformed.
He originally wanted to talk to her, but as soon as her soft little body sat in his arms, all those pretentious thoughts disappeared, and he simply became a beast.
But he didn't want to, and just as he was about to take action, Liuli's delicate voice called out, and two extremely delicate and lovely maids came into the bedroom. They were the twin sword maids that Liuli had originally planned to send to him.
I was shocked at that time, and I understood what Liuli meant. The two little girls were there to entertain them. Even if I didn't enjoy it to the fullest, she and I could also enjoy it.
Although the ambiguous scene made his heart almost jump out of his throat, he still kept his sense and drank all three of them.
There was no sense of success at all, just simply messing around with the three of them?
Wouldn’t that be like those boring action movies from previous lives?
Liuli naturally didn't understand her own thoughts. In her thinking logic, it was obvious that she suddenly turned against her because she had done something so wrong that she completely lost interest in her. She might even be driven away because when she was right After she loses physical interest, the meaning of her existence ceases to exist.
Seeing Liuli being hit hard, she was completely different from her previous attitude of looking back with a smile on her face. Lu Ming coughed and said, "Liuli, in a few days the school season will start. I'm going to Zhenjiang to go to school. You go with me, you and I." We need to get along with each other more, to use modern civilized words, our arranged marriage needs to cultivate and cultivate feelings!"
"Oh..." Liuli looked a little downcast. She probably didn't understand what Lu Ming was talking about. The blow to her last night was extremely fatal.
Yu Luan's voice came from outside: "Master, Hu Dingshan is here to visit."
"Okay." Lu Ming responded, thinking that Commander Hu was here to rub his cousin's ass.
…
The flower hall at the foot of the mountain has colorful flower gardens outside and a clear spring behind the hall. It is also a perfect place to meet guests and enjoy tea.
Commander Hu let out a long sigh, "Mr. Lu really lives like a fairy!" He then smiled and said: "Congratulations to Mr. Lu, we have done another big deal. It turns out that Mr. Lu is also registered in the Special Investigation Bureau! Mr. Lu has great experience in judicial, It seems that the police community has a good reputation!"
Lu Ming smiled and said, "I'm just running errands."
I knew he was talking about the assassination of the Duke of Haussburg.
In fact, in the north, such as the four northern provinces, top people may pay attention to this, but there will be no wave among the people.
This is generally the case in the five provinces south of the Yangtze River.
It's just that high-ranking figures like Commander Hu who have been paying attention to him will know that he has joined the investigation team.
"Mr. Lu, I recently received information. It turns out that the ruthless bandits such as Tornado Horse are secretly supported by Jiangbei warlord Gao Baoshan. He has always claimed that the Heishan area in Jiangning Province has been his territory for generations. As you know, the kingdom has never included the Jiangnan five The province regards the province as its own territory, and the kingdom has always pushed disputes between the south and the north to be resolved within the federal framework..."
Lu Ming was a little surprised. He didn't know why Hu Dingshan was telling him this, but he was telling the truth.
From the imperial capital's perspective, different boundary demarcation terms were used, leaving some disputed land in the provinces south of the Yangtze River and north of the Yangtze River.
There have been constant disputes between Jiangnan and Jiangbei for hundreds of years, which is what the imperial capital is most happy to see.
In past and present lives, the colonists probably had similar routines.
Hu Dingshan added: "Although Gao Baoshan's ancestors also claimed the same thing, they have always been relatively gentle, but this Gao Baoshan is different. He is decisive and ambitious. In Jiangbei, he has embezzled and served as the governor of three cities. The Northern Territory Governor We must also win over him, specially designate three cities as Dao, and appoint him as Dao Yin."
"Recent intelligence shows that Gao Baoshan is eyeing Heishan. Governor Chuckson is also very worried, because there are some people in the imperial capital who are eager for chaos in this important mining town of Heishan so that they can intervene."
"There are rumors that members of the steel giant Shelver family are funding Gaobaoshan's military expansion."
"Mr. Lu, it seems that some people are jealous of you doing steel work here!"
Lu Ming smiled. The news that Hu Dingshan told him must be true or false. Moreover, if a war in Montenegro attracts external forces, the most anxious ones are naturally the Hu family.
Hu Dingshan sighed, "The rain is coming, but some people have no foresight..." He shook his head and looked at Lu Ming, "In view of this, Governor Chuxon is going to order me to organize a new army in Montenegro, abolish the Montenegro Guard Corps, etc. The military and police who had no combat effectiveness were reorganized into a new army, designated the Black Mountain Brigade, with a capacity of about 12,000 people, and military expenses were provided by the Black Mountain Mining Industry."
Lu Ming smiled and said, "That's a good thing!" He still didn't know the purpose of his visit.
Hu Dingshan took a sip of tea and continued: "To be honest with Mr. Lu, the reorganization of the new army was a report I made to Governor Chaxon. He took it very seriously and received me. However, as you know, the reorganization of the new army is in accordance with the laws of the kingdom. Although he is the head of the military and political affairs here and represents the Great Emperor as the governor of this place, he still has to report to the Imperial Capital when it comes to reorganizing the military and police and establishing an army. Governor Chaxon himself feels that this matter will be stopped by the Imperial Capital. .”
Hu Dingshan glanced at Lu Ming: "So, Mr. Lu, if you can help in this matter, it will be of great benefit to Mr. Lu's career. Traveling to Jingan in Montenegro will maintain peace and stability in Montenegro. Mr. Lu's steel blueprint will not As for dying!"
After a pause, "If Mr. Lu can facilitate this matter, I would like to recommend Mr. Lu as the Commissioner of the Inspection Office of the Black Mountain Brigade!" Hu Dingshan smiled and said: "Mr. Lu is a military and police instructor in the East China Sea, and has the rank of reserve colonel, right? Then, the new Black Mountain Army, under the guidance of Mr. Lu, will definitely have a new army and a new style, which will be enough to compete with the powerful Northern Army."
Although he had guessed a lot about Commander Hu's purpose, he never expected that Hu Dingshan would make such a proposal.
However, although Lu Ming's mind was racing, there was a smile on his face: "Governor Chuckson can't handle this matter, so what can I do to help?"
In the military establishment of the five Jiangnan provinces, this independent brigade with more than 10,000 people is actually an infantry division.
The rank of brigade commander is usually brigadier general. In the northern region, he is commonly known as "brigade commander" and is usually a city-level warlord.
In the inspection offices of the military units in the five provinces south of the Yangtze River, the chief commissioners are at the same level as the military chiefs, and there is no distinction between the first and second leaders.
However, the military chief is mainly in charge of the military, and the Supervisory Office is in charge of military discipline assessment and so on.
The Inspectorate is also a kind of restraint on military officers at the same level.
The bait thrown by Hu Dingshan was huge.
However, this matter is not easy to facilitate.
Hu Dingshan not only controlled the mining industry, but also wanted to take advantage of the dispute with Jiangbei to take control of the military. His ambitions were growing.
It doesn't matter to me. I'm just trying to get the skin of a tiger. If I don't enter the tiger's den, how can I get the tiger's cubs? This is also an excellent opportunity for myself, but things are more difficult to handle.
Over there, Hu Dingshan smiled and said: "Governor Chuckson will fight hard, but there is still some external force needed. Mr. Lu, I heard that he has a close relationship with Lady Windsor?"
Lu Ming smiled. It seemed that the rumors of his sibling relationship with Lady Windsor, and even his affair with Christine, had finally reached the ears of the Hu family.
After all, Governor Chuxon paid no attention to these things, and the Hu family had no contact with the upper class society in Donghai and the Imperial Capital. It would be very difficult to find out this information.
After thinking about it, Lu Ming said: "I'll try my best, I hope this can happen!"
Hu Dingshan laughed: "Mr. Lu is very cheerful. I will say that it is much more pleasant to cooperate with Mr. Lu than to be an enemy with Mr. Lu."
Lu Ming picked up the teacup and drank water. He felt that it was unusual for this guy to speak so straightforwardly today.
Hu Dingshan sighed again: "But some people are blinded by hatred. I can't persuade them at all. Moreover, I will be dismissed from the position of mining supervisor soon. If this new army cannot be built, I can only go to the old age." Well, it took a lot of effort for me to meet Governor Chuxon and persuade him to organize a new army. His old man is busy with other things, but when it comes to Jiangbei, he attaches great importance to it. Otherwise, I'm afraid that little hoof will be bad again. My business! Women..." As he spoke, he shook his head.
Lu Ming was startled. The "little hoof" that Hu Dingshan said should be Mrs. Hu?
Hu Dingshan glanced at Lu Ming and said, "Mr. Lu, I really want to cooperate with you, but I really can't make the decision on many things. Now I have to step aside. If Mr. Lu is willing to help, I can still make a living. "
Lu Ming thought for a moment and said, "Mrs. Hu wants to invest in Jiuzhou Steel?"
Hu Dingshan smiled bitterly: "It has nothing to do with me. I think someone will talk to Mr. Lu in the future."
Lu Ming suddenly understood. As his network gradually appeared in front of the Hu family, the Hu family also had differences in their attitude towards him.
Commander Hu seems to be rough, but in fact he is very shrewd. He is unwilling to go against himself anymore, and even hopes to cooperate with him.
His cousin Hu Dingjin, the de facto leader of the Hu family, Mrs. Hu’s brother, and the financial secretary of one of the three departments in Jiangning Province, should be much smarter than Commander Hu. His wife had an affair, so his wife divorced him, so she was afraid that she would firmly oppose cooperation with him.
Mrs. Hu, as a woman, realized that she had not received the penis she originally hoped for, so she sided with her brother.
In this way, naturally the opinion of getting rid of him prevailed in the Hu family.
Commander Hu, who originally advocated peaceful coexistence with himself, was rejected by Mrs. Hu's brother and sister at the same time, and he was on the verge of losing power.
After all, the so-called network of connections is often passed down through rumors. It is difficult to tell about past and present life, and everyone in the circle understands it.
Madam Hu probably thought that those rumors were most likely false. It was a fantasy that she, a Central-Continent person, would be involved with several top Western aristocratic women.
Although Hu Dingjin has a cautious personality, unfortunately he is at odds with himself, so he is more willing to trust his sister's judgment.
Commander Hu's current proposal is not because he wants to confirm whether his network is what the rumors say?
The reason why he talks so vaguely now is because he is afraid that he does not have such a big reputation and his network of connections is all fabricated by the outside world.
After thinking about it, Lu Ming smiled at Hu Dingshan: "Well, it seems that after the Mining Bureau has a new supervisor, I will start to suffer again!"
Hu Dingshan laughed loudly: "Mr. Lu is joking. When the New Army's designation is approved by the Imperial Military Department, what else does Mr. Lu have to worry about here? What's more, even if there is no New Army issue, Mr. Lu will attract huge sums of money here. To benefit the villagers, in the provincial capital, we also have strong support from Chief Wang Qiande, the head of the three divisions, so some minor troubles should be solved."
Lu Ming nodded: "I hope so."
