Prime Minister's Office.
Opposite Lu Ming's desk, sitting on a slightly crude chair, was the Chief Minister of the Cabinet, Earl Shapard. The old man was also the Chief Privy Councilor of Her Royal Highness Princess Alice. Of course, the Privy Council of Her Royal Highness Princess Alice was, in this era, the most important one. Membership is more like an honorary title.
Shepard was frowning and said: "The main thing is that the Eastern Alliance's observation team has not withdrawn yet. It has a strong reaction to what happened in Daliang City. It must send personnel to supervise it. They said they heard rumors that the Independent Commission Against Corruption has become The puppet of the military. Now it is the military that has brutally suppressed the opposition to you in Daliang. Thousands of political prisoners have been taken into concentration camps, and human rights in the concentration camps are not guaranteed." After a pause, " Your Highness, Zhenjiang Province is not a vassal of the Eastern Alliance, and I believe that they have no right to interfere in our internal affairs."
Lu Ming smiled. The old man was a die-hard royalist and an ultra-conservative force. In fact, his political philosophy favored a strong centralization model. He believed that the actual division caused by the current civil strife in the empire was because there had never been a strong centralized power. The government gave local autonomy too much power, which resulted in the current bitter consequences.
He even agreed with both hands and feet that he directly sent troops to suppress Liang Chongming Group. The old man felt extremely happy and comfortable in his heart.
"The Eastern Alliance believes that they promoted the popular elections in Zhenjiang, so they have been pointing fingers. In fact, both the counter-insurgency and the popular elections were promoted by His Highness the Prince. Without His Highness the Prince's Griffin Legion, what could they have accomplished? ?" Shepard said angrily.
Lu Ming smiled: "Actually, the Montenegro Special Administrative Region is also a member of the Eastern Alliance and voted against it. However, if it does not involve the members' own affairs, the minority must obey the majority."
The rules of the Eastern Conference are that when it comes to internal affairs, members act in unison.
That is, as long as one member votes against, collective action cannot be taken.
This also prevents the majority members from sacrificing the interests of the minority members for their own interests.
If Lu Ming had not studied law at the beginning and was influenced by collectivist education, he would have found this very strange.
How effective can such a group be?
But in fact, this can maximize the interests of individuals and is a manifestation of equality.
However, Zhenjiang affairs are not internal affairs of the alliance. Therefore, the proposal to enter Daliang City, Zhenjiang for human rights observation adopts the principle of majority submission.
Shepard listened to Lu Ming's words and shook his head. Thinking that His Royal Highness was also the leader of the alliance members, it was hard to attack the alliance again.
"However, one thing is another. It's up to you to decide whether the observation team should enter the main beam. This is the authority of the chief minister of your cabinet." Lu Ming smiled.
"Okay, then I refuse!" Shepard said without thinking.
Lu Ming smiled and said, "Okay." He paused and said, "Liang Chongming's decision cannot be delayed for too long. If we follow the normal process, we may not be able to finish the lawsuit in a few years. The Independent Commission Against Corruption has studied the situation. A request was submitted to the High Court for the establishment of a special court under a state of emergency to hear this case, because the Liang Chongming Group actually gained control of Daliang City for decades or hundreds of years, brutally exploited the people of Daliang City, trafficked drugs, and killed people. , illegal imprisonment, etc., and they are all implemented in the name of public power. In nature, they are not comparable to gangsters. After I announced martial law, they also launched a military rebellion. Therefore, the Liang Chongming Group is a de facto gang. A military and political terrorist organization that endangers the security of the empire’s homeland.”
Shepard nodded repeatedly, so the position was very clear.
Lu Ming continued: "Therefore, I also believe that it is necessary to set up a special court to try this case as soon as possible, but use the death penalty with caution. On this point, I will make my personal legal professional suggestions to the High Court."
Shepard smiled slightly: "Any judge will seriously consider your professional opinion."
…
Sitting in the extremely gorgeous and spacious lounge on the third floor of the official residence were a group of Yingying Yanyan, Bei Ji, and six fire girls, namely Audrey, Margaret, Britney, and Mrs. Kate, as well as Mrs. Pei and Zou family.
Lu Ming walked in accompanied by Yu Luan, who looked like Commissioner Zhang.
Bei Ji and others were a little nervous at first, not knowing why they were brought to the official residence of the Prince of Black Mountain Castle.
When they saw Lu Ming, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
Everyone stood up and waited for instructions from the actual slave owner.
Lu Ming looked at them and smiled: "I have been looking for an opportunity for a long time, and today is the time!"
He turned around and Yu Luan pressed gently on his face and Adam's apple.
A quarter of an hour later, Lu Ming turned around, and the girls who didn't even know what he was doing were stunned.
Lu Ming smiled, and Yu Luan said from the side: "You should have seen Commissioner Zhang's identity in newspapers and TV. He is Marshal Lu."
The air seemed to be frozen.
After a long while, suddenly Mrs. Audrey took the lead, and several Western ladies pulled up their gorgeous skirts and saluted respectfully and fearfully.
"I have met His Highness the Prince!" "His Highness the Prince is well!" cries kept coming.
Who is this handsome young man in front of me? He is the husband-in-law of Her Royal Highness Princess True, Marshal of the Griffin Legion, and Prince of Black Mountain Castle.
The descendants of several Western women, most of whose ancestors were convicted nobles and were exiled to Shengjing, have an incomparable nostalgia for the true aristocracy of the empire, and they even have an absolute psychological respect for them.
Lu Ming waved his hand and said with a smile: "Everyone, sit down!" He walked over and sat down, but these beauties dared not sit down. Most of them were confused and in complete shock.
Lu Ming said: "Let's get down to business. From now on, the seven of you will be me, the special advisor to the Prime Minister of Zhenjiang. You will form a seven-member review committee. Some of you are very capable, and you can even learn from them. In fact, you don't have to do anything. Mainly because I have a business..."
After a pause, he said, "This business is handled by a professional team and audited by a professional team. However, I am afraid that my time to look at these materials is limited. You can help me check it out. In addition, if you have time, you can go to Daliang. Turn, um, that business is in Daliang."
He added: "This group is led by Beiji." After all, Beiji had a physical relationship with him, and others did not.
Bei Ji, her daughter and Xueruo came to Zhenjiang accompanied by Yu Luan.
Seeing what Beiji wanted to say, Lu Ming waved his hand and interrupted, "I understand, you want to say you don't understand, but it doesn't matter. Professionals have done everything they should do. You just helped me go through the process. Don't count me as a bastard. Oh, and Audrey, Britney, and Pei Wanjun are all your good helpers."
Then he said: "This business is worth more than 2 billion, please help me keep an eye on it!"
The girls were even more stunned.
Lu Ming is planning a business world in which the main pillars are being cooked with a spoon, involving all walks of life.
Today, it is managed and operated by the newly established "Daliang New Era Group Company".
The boss behind New Era Group Company is naturally Lu Ming.
After the special court pronounces its verdict, these companies and various assets will inevitably be auctioned.
But for such a complex and huge system, only the "new era" can take over the transition smoothly.
Otherwise, it is likely to cause Daliang to fall into chaos and economic crisis.
Whether you admit it or not, if you think of Daliang as a country, it is equivalent to being overthrown by the revolution, and all monopoly private capital has been confiscated by itself at a low price.
Moreover, in business, the powerful managerial team of "New Era Group" will inevitably reduce the price to the lowest when negotiating with the provincial government to propose a purchase price, and will even threaten to withdraw without taking over.
I have long proposed that the purchase price cannot be lower than one-fifth of the original total assets. Otherwise, they may be able to get one-tenth of the offer. If from a pure market perspective, for the sake of Daliang's economic stability and orderly future development, , the provincial government will also agree.
After all, this manager team will also help the provincial government draw a big picture of Daliang's economic development and future planning.
New Era Group is operated by a professional operation team and will also be audited by a strong audit team.
However, he still needs someone to keep an eye on him.
But the recent expansion has been too rapid, and the manpower for those who are particularly close to us is really stretched.
Simply call Bei Ji and Liu Huo Nu to make up the difference. Anyway, there is really no need for them to do anything.
Seeing them all in a dazed state, Lu Ming smiled: "There is still some time to prepare. Anyway, you should study hard."
Then he said: "Why do you feel a little embarrassed? Are you still not used to my new identity? Speaking of which, you are completely on the pirate ship now. At least, you can't leave me until Commissioner Zhang disappears. You can only do My slaves, I am your master!" He looked at Beiji and smiled: "You are an exception."
Beiji was frightened and sweet at the same time. Commissioner Zhang was already a super big shot, but she didn’t expect that “he” turned out to be...
Worrying about gains and losses for a while.
Over there, headed by Mrs. Audrey, four Western ladies bowed down, "It is our honor to be the servants of His Highness the Prince!" The words were different, but the general meaning was the same.
Indeed, according to the aristocratic tradition, becoming the slaves of a prince-level noble lord actually means that they have returned to this circle after their ancestors were permanently deprived of their aristocratic status.
Under the prince's lordship, the earls, viscounts, barons, etc. in the territory are also legally the prince's servants and retainers.
This slave is still somewhat different from the concept of Eastern servants.
Lu Ming smiled: "Okay, I'm going to see Erika. You guys should digest today's information."
Erika is also here, right next door. These seven girls all know Erika.
At this time, they all bowed down and sent His Royal Highness off respectfully.
When Lu Ming left the room, he turned back and smiled: "I still have to go to Antiguala. You will go there in shifts when the time comes. There are things that you need to deal with there."
Naturally, the layout in Antiguala will not stop there. It is an extremely important strategic location. Fortunately, during my recent visit to Zhenjiang, Antiguala did not undergo any major changes.

…
In the gorgeous room, Erica, who was pure and beautiful in a gorgeous kimono, stared blankly at Lu Ming changing from Marshal Lu to Commissioner Zhang.
She received a call from Lu Ming and took a leave of absence from school. She was accompanied by her personal bodyguard Nineteen and came on the same special plane as Mrs. Audrey and others.
She didn't know who Marshal Lu was and didn't care about it.
Seeing a strange man suddenly enter the room, he was already panicked and looked at Yuluan for help, because he knew Yuluan and knew that he was her husband's close assistant.
When he saw Lu Ming transforming into Commissioner Zhang, he smiled again, opened his hands, and said with a smile: "Ericiang, come!" The voice also became that of her husband.
Erika's mind was even more confused. She wanted to jump into her husband's warm embrace with joy, but she was a little scared.
"It's really me! Silly boy!" Lu Ming shook his head helplessly. When he heard the three words "silly boy", Erika let out a cry, stood up suddenly, threw herself into Lu Ming's arms, started crying, hugged Lu Ming and refused to let go. .
Lu Ming reluctantly kissed her hair and smiled: "I originally wanted to tell you that I still have an identity, but it seems I shouldn't tell you, but it doesn't matter. By your side, I will always be your husband Zhang Aming, okay?"
"Well..." Erika nodded her head hard, and tears couldn't stop pouring out.
Lu Ming reached out to wipe away her tears and coaxed her in a loving voice.
He even held her on the sofa and told her stories.
Unexpectedly, Erica gradually fell asleep in his arms. Obviously, this incident was too scary. In a short period of time, she was mentally and physically exhausted. Now she was peaceful and happy in her husband's arms, and fell asleep like this.
Lu Ming looked at her and smiled, feeling calm and happy in his heart. He carefully picked her up and put her on the bed. He covered her with a goose down quilt and sat on the bedside for a while. Then he stood up and looked at Yu Luan again.
Yuluan nodded slightly and said in a low voice: "This slave will always be here, so that Miss Erika won't be scared when she wakes up." She also liked the master's little Seventeenth wife who was as blank as a blank slate.
Lu Ming nodded, turned around and walked out.
