For the first time, I had breakfast at the "Wangzhai" in Anxi.
The affairs of Japan and Antiguara have both reached a certain point in time.
In Japan, the principality has reached an agreement with the Ashikaga regime to sell the Ten Destroyers and temporarily provide them with volunteer pilots.
The Naishan Consulate is preparing to move to Xijing and be upgraded to the Consulate General. Consul Lu is naturally upgraded to the Consul General.
Deputy Consul General Du Cunzhao was an expert in Japanese literature. Lu Ming selected this talent after observing him for a long time. This was Lu Ming's preparation for letting him go.
Of course, we still need to pull out the fangs of the Kansai Legion first.
In Montenegro, Governor Chachai actually revealed that he did not want to return to Antiguara.
Nowadays, decent lobbyists can convince him. If this fails, the plans that have been unfolding in Antiguala can only be moved forward.
Lu Ming planned to take a good rest in the past few days, otherwise he would be extremely busy again soon.
I'm really too busy. I haven't slept much in the past month.
Until last night, in this "king's house", I had a really comfortable sleep until dawn.
But after waking up, I felt that my whole body had no strength, and my spirit became more and more tired and listless.
This is naturally because I have been too exhausted recently and have been in a state of excitement. Only after I really rested did I feel tired, and it was obvious that I was not fully rested.
These two days, I just took a good rest here and recharged my batteries.
In fact, it is no longer the start-up stage. You should also pay attention to delegating power and letting go. Of course, in key places where the situation is relatively complex and you can get twice the result with half the effort by running it yourself, you should naturally do your part to avoid unnecessary sacrifices and setbacks.
Yawning, Lu Ming entered the restaurant.
Courtyard No. 1 and Courtyard 2 share a restaurant, and Courtyard No. 3 is the pistol squad restaurant, but the food is the same.
The originally bustling restaurant fell into silence as soon as Lu Ming entered.
It was originally as buzzing as a school cafeteria, and indeed, with the two children, there were a total of more than a dozen people dining.
No one expected that the head of the family would show up, because they had moved here. The first one had been here for nearly half a month, and the new one had been there for several days. But they had never seen the head of the house during the day, and even at night, the head of the house had not been seen. It seems to be very busy. I always come back to sleep in the early morning and there is no sound during the day.
Lu Ming walked over and sat on the main seat, making a gesture: "Just be casual and keep eating!"
On the long table with a snow-white tablecloth, there are more than a dozen beauties sitting on the left and right, wearing different styles of clothing and even coming from different ethnic groups. Their skin colors are all different, but they are all similar. They are all extremely beautiful beauties, each with their own style.
Sitting first on the left and right are Bai Shuixian and Bei Ji, both of whom are closely related to Lu Ming.
Both of them also knew that the head of the family was actually Governor Zhang, who had just changed his appearance.
Of course, Beiji, Pei, Zou and Lu Ming were the first and knew more.
The Kan sisters and Shangguan Yusuo, who originally followed Governor Zhang, also knew this.
They all lived in Courtyard No. 1, but Bei Ji and the two children went to live in Courtyard No. 2.
Tuoba Lan and five newcomers also live in Courtyard No. 2.
Narcissus Bai and Bei Ji are like the big sisters in Courtyard No. 1 and Courtyard No. 2 respectively. Indeed, they are the oldest in both courtyards.
At this time, Bai Narcissus was busy getting started, serving Lu Ming a bowl of porridge, bringing milk, fried eggs, etc.
The kitchen was in Courtyard No. 3, and the cooked food was delivered and placed in a row on another long snow-white table. These beauties, big and small, could just go and get whatever they wanted to eat. It was like eating at a cafeteria buffet.
The people in Courtyard No. 1 are very free, but the girls in Tuoba Lan in Courtyard No. 2 are not. If they want to travel, they must be accompanied by a female agent from the pistol squad.
The girls of Tuoba Lan in Courtyard No. 2 each receive 100 yuan in pocket money per month.
Bei Ji is just like those in Courtyard No. 1. They each have a bank account and a check book. Except for Bai Narcissus and Bei Ji, the girls in Courtyard No. 1 are treated in the same way as the Fourth Lady of the West. Bai Narcissus and Bei Ji The limit is higher, but they are less likely to spend up to the limit, and often the account is not touched for a month.
Sisters Pei and Kan can even save money there.
Mr. Pei has extremely rich qualifications in the financial industry. When he came to Anxi, he quickly found a high-paying job. He was the deputy assistant manager of the key account department of Jinxiu Branch, Anxi Branch of Baoyin Bank.
The Kan sisters wrote Mandarin Duck and Butterfly School together, and they just published a book, which sold well.
As for Beiji, she is still nominally the chairman of Zhenjiang New Era Group, of course, in name only.
However, New Era Group has recently come to Anshan to invest, mainly in Anxi.
When Lu Ming was in Zhenjiang, New Era Group eradicated all the terrifying bureaucratic capital in Zhenjiang. It has total assets of more than 2 billion and involves all walks of life in Zhenjiang Province.
Now it is running well and fully capitalized, just like Lu Ming's previous life in Singapore. However, the Prince of Heishanbao is the owner of Zhenjiang's "Dan Maxi", not an asset of the principality.
The Principality of Montenegro actually has different ways of being incorporated into the principality based on different regions, and there are various economic operation models.
However, because each autonomous territory develops its economy independently and only chooses what suits them, it does not affect each other. The humanistic and economic foundations of each autonomous territory are very different, and it is a fantasy that they all operate on the same model.
No one is a god who can make extremely detailed plans for the detailed development of the economies of these many different regions, different populations.
The overall development goals of the principality are definitely planned, but they will not be broken down into every aspect of each territory.
For example, New Era Group's investment in Anshan is completely market behavior. New Era Group only invests when it thinks it is profitable.
】
Lu Ming has always believed that, at least under current conditions, capital competing in a market with perfect laws will promote social development and progress.
The scary thing is that bureaucratic capital, capital combined with power, derives its income from power, not from competition. Naturally, bad money will drive out good money, and it will swallow up the blood and sweat of taxpayers with infinite greed.
In addition, monopoly is a taboo in all free market economic countries, and the Principality has naturally hung the Anti-Monopoly Law on the head of capital early on.
Lu Ming drank the milk and shook his head. His brain seemed to be unable to rest.
Putting down the cup, Lu Ming said to Bai Narcissus: "Narcissus, come to the study later."
Bai Narcissus nodded slightly: "Yes, Master."
…
In the study, Lu Ming flipped through fashion magazines casually, deliberately relaxing his brain.
There was a gentle knock on the door, and Bai Narcissus walked in. She was wearing a peach-white satin plum-blossom buttoned coat and an elegant short skirt, revealing Bai Shengsheng's two slender legs. She wore embroidered milky white soft-soled leather shoes, which combined the beauty of classical elegance with modern beauty. Just right.
Seeing Lu Ming looking her up and down, Bai Narcissus' pretty face blushed slightly and lowered her head, feeling shy and happy at the same time.
Lu Ming smiled and said: "I have been busy, spending less time with you and more away from you, so I always wanted to tell you, but I always forgot that I am actually the Prince of Black Mountain Castle."
"Oh..." Bai Narcissus nodded slightly, but then raised his head abruptly, his pretty eyes filled with incredulity.
Lu Ming smiled and said, "Beiji, Wanjun and Xiying have been with me for a long time, and all three of them know it." Pei's name is Pei Wanjun, and Zou's name is Zou Xiying.
Pei and Zou were first detained by Liuli because they, like the Fourth Western Madame, both had fire female physiques.
When in Zhenjiang, to run the New Era Group, Lu Ming summoned Bei Ji and Huo Nu, a group of six people, and told them their true identities together.
Bai Narcissus's pretty face was full of surprise, but you have to say you don't believe it, "Master" has changed to what he was before, and he has never told a lie, especially such a big lie, can he tell it casually?
"Well, go and ask Bei Ji and the people from No. 1 Courtyard to come. The Kan sisters and Xiao Suo, you can play drums with them in advance."
"Yes, yes..." Bai Narcissus walked out a little lost.
Ten minutes later, Bai Shuixian, Beiji, Pei, Zou, Kan sisters and Shangguan Yusuo all came to the study.
Obviously, the Kan sisters and Shangguan Yusuo were also in a state of confusion.
"Actually, this is me!" Lu Ming opened his fan and when he closed it, it had turned into his true self.
Although Beiji, Pei and Zou had seen it once, they were still extremely shocked. Bai Shuixian, the Kan sisters and Shangguan Yusuo were even more stunned.
Lu Ming smiled and said, "When it's just you in the future, I'll still be like this. I feel more comfortable." Then he said, "Okay, you go ahead. I'm here today, living and working. If you have any problems or need me to do something, You can come to me for anything, I have plenty of time today, and I don’t want to think about any major military affairs."
All the girls left in a daze.
Lu Ming flipped through the magazine, but finally couldn't help it. He put the magazine aside, picked up a pen and paper, thought about what happened in Antiguala, and slowly wrote something.
Click, click, the door clicked lightly.
Lu Ming responded, and the pretty figure that came in was White Narcissus.
"Is there a problem?" Lu Ming looked at her with a smile.
Bai Narcissus looked at Lu Ming's expression and said cautiously: "Your Highness, aren't you supposed to be in Montenegro? I see that His Highness also gave a televised speech in the early hours of yesterday morning. It was very hard..."
Lu Mingxin said that at that time, wouldn't I show up here? He smiled and said, "That's my incarnation."
Since you can't see someone, you tell them that you have one mind and four bodies. Even if she is already your own woman, there is still a big difference between intimacy and distance.
"Oh..." Bai Narcissus's pretty eyes flashed, and she said cautiously: "Your Highness, I am so lucky, I feel like I am in a dream..." The circles under her eyes were slightly red.
Lu Ming could actually see her faint excitement and joy, but he suppressed it and didn't want to show it.
As a woman with the traditional concubine mentality in the Northern Territory, when she learned that her man's status was so noble, her red eyes were not a lie. To their thinking, the man they were attached to was everything to them, and the man's status also represented of their status. In their eyes, their true identity and status, which was suddenly revealed, may be the only one in the world. After all, they will not consider the Westerners.
Lu Ming smiled and said, "Okay, now that you're like this, I'm feeling very happy, as if the emperor has favored you."
Bai Narcissus whispered: "You, aren't you?"
Lu Ming coughed and said, "Don't say this nonsense."
Bai Narcissus kept silent: "Yes..." She secretly looked at Lu Ming's expression and saw that he didn't look angry, so she said cautiously: "Your Highness, are the identities of the slaves and concubines the same as those of the female concubines in the inner courtyard of the palace before? Already?"
Lu Ming burst out laughing. He heard Bizhu and Liuli talking about the royal family system of the previous dynasty. For the emperor's harem, it was divided into hierarchical levels: the first queen, the third palace, the ninth concubine, the ninth concubine, the twenty-first wife, and the eighty-one female emperor. Unexpectedly, there are still people in the Northern Territory who know about it. Of course, they only know a little bit about it and regard it as an ancient myth.
What did he want to say? Looking at Bai Narixian's hopeful expression, he swallowed back what he wanted to say, nodded and said: "Okay, let's do it in private. You are my female concubine, okay? You are a classy person, not a private person." My concubine is so humble, so don’t worry about me giving it away because you are like a duckweed. As an emperor, when have you ever given your concubine to someone else? You have to keep it even if you are a widow, right?"
Bai Narcissus knelt down, tears streaming down her face, "Yes, yes, thank you, Your Highness!"
Lu Ming was helpless, but seeing her bursting with gratitude, she was so happy that she was about to burst into tears, and he couldn't help but feel pity in his heart. The education he had received since childhood made this poor woman feel that her ancestors had been honored and her life had reached its peak. He felt that she was unfortunate. , but she would think that meeting herself was her greatest luck.
"Get up quickly." Lu Ming said helplessly: "You know, I'm not very good at coaxing a crying woman."
"Yes, yes!" Bai Narcissus stood up quickly, took out a snow-white handkerchief to wipe her tears, and said, "Then, Becky..."
Lu Ming said: "You can tell her that she is my female concubine, but I'm afraid she won't understand."
Bai Narcissus looked at Lu Ming's expression and said, "Your Highness, Xiying has always been depressed. A while ago, he even got seriously ill."
Lu Ming nodded: "Well, I originally wanted to talk to her. I understand what you mean. Go ahead and talk. Maybe it will relieve her worries."
Zou and Bai Narcissus are the same type of people. Zou is beautiful but has no survival skills. Although she has no worries about food and clothing and can live an extremely luxurious life after joining her, her biggest reliance is to please her. She was a man's beauty, but she had never even laid eyes on her. Moreover, several years passed by and she looked like a concubine who was relegated to the cold after entering the palace. I heard that she had often been sick recently, so she must have a heart problem.
After all, Mr. Pei, who has a good relationship with her, lives a happy life and can make money from outside to support the family.
The more this happened, the more sense of crisis she felt and the lower her self-esteem. She was afraid that if she continued like this, she would become ill and die early, which was what the beauty said.
Because they were the same kind of people, it seemed that Bai Narcissus sympathized with her. After bowing respectfully, she trotted away happily. Looking in the direction, she saw that it was Zou's room.
Lu Ming picked up the pen and paper again and sketched. After a while, the door was knocked again.
The people who came in were Pei and Zou. They were good friends, but they were from completely different eras.
Ms. Pei was wearing a light green business suit with a retro style lace round collar. She had tall breasts and a slender waist. The green trousers showed off the curves of her slim legs. She wore a pair of small black leather shoes with stiletto heels. Although they were still traditional The style does not expose the skin, but looks very modern, beautiful, gentle and pleasant.
Zou's is different. The timid beauty of the concubine can make men feel excited at the first sight. She is wearing a rose-red plum blossom buttoned jacket, a soft yellow skirt, and small red embroidered shoes. Her figure is very weak and slender. , that kind of tenderness and gentleness of traditional beautiful concubines, in his previous life, men could only imagine in their dreams.
"Your Highness, concubine, I'm here to thank you..." Ms. Zou didn't dare to raise her head, her voice was like a mosquito buzzing.
Lu Ming smiled and said: "I don't dare to come here yet, so I brought a partner with me!"
Zou, who was about to kneel down and kowtow, suddenly had tears in her eyes, "Concubine, concubine..."
Lu Ming was helpless, "Well, you come to my room tonight."
"Ah...ah?" Zou almost couldn't believe her ears and raised her head in shock.
Lu Ming waved his hand: "You go ahead! Oh..." Lu Ming looked at Mr. Pei, "Wanjun, are you okay with dealing with big customers and so on?"
Pei Wanjun pondered and said: "Your Highness, I am planning to resign from this job. It's not that there is anything wrong with it. It's just that with His current status, His Highness will not look good if I show my face again..."
Lu Ming looked at her in surprise. Apparently, after knowing what Nu Yuyi said, she felt guilty.
Waving his hand, Lu Ming said with a smile: "The old ideas of Xiying and others are difficult to reform, so they just let it go. You, who have received a new type of education, have finally reached this point, why are you still looking back? Then I am guilty of a serious crime. "Made a gesture to stop what she was about to say, "Just listen to me, you go!"
"Okay, thank you, Your Highness." Mrs. Pei gently bowed her knees and left. Mrs. Zou was confused, her pretty face was full of confusion. She probably thought she was dreaming and forgot that she came to thank you. She followed Mrs. Pei and left in despair. .
