After Richard's legal team left, the only tavern in Bad City began normal business.
However, this tavern usually doesn't have many customers. The regular customers are the poor blue flag toasts, or a small proportion of wealthy commoners. When they have some spare money, they will go to the restaurant to satisfy their cravings. There is no decline.
Of course, the Toast family makes delicious food in their home kitchen, and the conditions are much better than in this tavern.
At this time, at the window table in the tavern, there was still the quartet of Lu Ming, Xia Luo, Wen Liangyu and Wang Jinfei.
It was Wen Liangyu who dragged Sherlock here. The two of them had a good relationship.
Lu Ming could only admire the fourth brother's communication skills after becoming a stage actor.
Wang Jinfei thanked him repeatedly. Because of Uncle Lu's help, the talks with Dingshan City were very good. Now we just want to see if and when the Haitian Oilfield project will be launched.
After all, as long as the project is launched, Bate City will soon prosper. Without Bate City, a small town will immediately form around the oil field.
The nearby areas will also benefit, especially the expansion of transportation.
Whether the Wang Jinfei family will buy the mining rights of the gold mine here will mainly follow the oil field project. If the oil field project fails, naturally there will be no need to discuss it.
Over there, Wen Liangyu also smiled and said, "Qianxing, did Bailu Gong come yesterday?"
Lu Ming nodded lightly. Bailu Gong was here to apologize. At the same time, he used the title "God's Envoy" to implicitly indicate that Bailu City recognized Lu Ming's status as "the Envoy of the Three Dragon Gods".
There are more than a dozen nearby city-states, all of which believe in the Three Dragon Gods and respect the Bobbitt Code. Among these city-states, White Deer City is the largest.
Bailu City's actions basically represent that the belief in the Three Dragon Gods has entered the era of "Thousand Practitioners".
However, Lu Ming was not in a very good mood.
I saw the content of several imperial newspapers in the morning, and began to attack my arrogant lifestyle. As a community councilor who should listen to public opinions, I live in the clouds. Until now, I don’t know a few neighbors in my area, so how can I listen to them?
Public opinion, representative of public opinion?
Some newspapers bluntly criticized him for living in a mansion and raising a concubine. He simply exuded the dregs of the decadent old era and was incompatible with the progress of the new era. However, such a person has the right to participate in local legislation and has the responsibility to lead social trends of thought.
, it’s simply ridiculous. Our society is sick, and it’s not even serious!
Some newspapers conducted in-depth analysis and believed that the phenomenon of Lu Qianxing in the East China Sea and Beiguan indicated a profound crisis of class division in the empire. This phenomenon is just a microcosm of the world that the rich are ruling.
In short, these newspapers almost want to scold themselves from different angles.
However, when I embark on the political path, it is true that under a magnifying glass, I have a lot of shortcomings.
Now, when the so-called occupation of the young, middle-aged and old people in the Western Region was reported back and described in an even more egregious manner, I didn't know what kind of scolding I would receive.
After thinking about it, Lu Ming let out a long breath.
Richard, this is using all the energy of decades of human kindness, so that he can keep himself from falling down the hot search list.
After all, the big shots in the imperial capital wouldn't even look at me, and no one had the time to deal with an ant that they could crush with their little fingers.
Behind the turbulent public opinion, it must be Richard who is causing trouble.
I offended Richard too much.
"Qian Xing, are you worried?" Over there, Wen Liangyu asked with a smile.
Lu Ming smiled: "It seems that Qing Lao should indeed be our role model in politics. I have been reflecting on it these days."
Speaking of Qing Lao, Sherlock also straightened his face, but looked at Lu Ming suspiciously, wondering what this guy was up to.
Will you reflect? Damn it.
Lu Ming added: "I just sent a telegram to Beiguan. I decided to go to the community in the third district and find a small house to live in. I will try to be able to name these neighbors after my four-year term."
"There is also a council member's office. We can also find a small store in the community. There are usually two or three people on duty. They can register at any time or solve problems encountered by the citizens in the constituency."
"As for me, from now on I will go on the bus and go to the vegetable market to buy my own food every day..."
"In short, what did Mr. Qing do when he first ran for parliament? I learned from him. Being in politics is a big question!"
Wen Liangyu was stunned and said with a smile: "Xiandi's level is getting higher and higher now."
Sherlock curled his lips: "These are just the basic requirements of community councilors. You may not be able to even scratch the surface of what Mr. Qing wants to learn."
Lu Ming nodded: "Lao Xia, you are right. If I don't do well in the future, I still need your help."
Sherlock was startled. Although Lu Qianxing seemed easy-going, he was actually very domineering at heart. It could be felt that he did not regard himself at all, or even anyone, including Buckloo.
chief.
This sudden and humble acceptance of his own cynicism was really unexpected.
After coughing, Sherlock picked up the tea cup, thought for a while and said, "I heard from Mr. Wen, those poor women, you have no choice but to do it. Don't mind the anger I got with you a few days ago."
Lu Ming shook his head and thought to himself, if I say that I am still a virgin, will anyone believe it?
Of course, the behavior of this body before I came to this world is not included. After all, it feels like not only the soul, but also the body is not what it used to be. Otherwise, why would it be so easy to quit smoking? After all, it is physiologically dependent.
"I'm leaving here tomorrow!" Lu Ming looked out the window, "Don't tell me, I'm really reluctant to leave."
Wen Liangyu smiled and said: "Actually, you have done great good deeds here to benefit future generations. In the history books here, hundreds of thousands of years from now, you will be an unavoidable figure. From this perspective, Qianxing, we
I'm honored to meet you. How can I put it? Well, in short, you are sitting with us now, talking and chatting. It feels like nothing, but if you think about it carefully, how do we deserve it? In our eyes, you are flesh and blood, you have advantages and some small things.
The problem seems to be that you are messing around here with a hammer and a stick, but the result of the tossing... In the future, you will leave your name in history. I think at least in the history books of this place, you should be a very great person with a halo.
.”
Sherlock was listening, with disdain on his lips at first, but gradually his expression became serious and thoughtful.
Lu Ming smiled and said: "Okay, I should also say goodbye to the mansion staff who stayed here, and I will reward them well today. Lao Xia, you have to stay a few more days, and I will have to worry about all the affairs of the economic and trade group from now on.
, In addition, I am good at advocating for the United Matrix security personnel to intervene in the war here, and I will settle the expenses separately."
Sherlock was stunned and came to his senses, "Forget it, looking at the folk customs here, if Bate City is really attacked, the men, women, and children here will be brutally massacred, and some of the results achieved by our economic and trade delegation will be in vain."
Lu Ming nodded and was about to turn around to leave when Sherlock suddenly said: "Qianxing, have you saved Miss Nicole's life?"
Lu Ming looked at him and nodded.
Sherlock looked a little shy, "That's right, my wife is a huge fan of her movies... Look, she left in a hurry. I originally wanted to help my wife..."
Lu Ming nodded, this was a typical "I have a friend" series. He thought about it and said, "Although she is very busy and she is a big star, it shouldn't be a big problem for me to ask someone to get an autographed photo from her.
"
Sherlock hesitated for a moment and stopped talking.
Lu Ming smiled and said, "Lao Xia, just tell me, if you can't figure out my sister-in-law's affairs, is that okay?"
Sherlock was a little embarrassed, "It's like this. Your sister-in-law has collected several large posters of hers, but one of these posters has her autograph. It always feels like..."
Lu Ming nodded: "Okay, when we get to Donghai, give me those posters and I'll try my best to get her to sign them all."
Sherlock was immediately overjoyed: "Qianxing, thank you so much!"
Lu Ming smiled, cupped his hands, turned and walked out of the tavern.
…
The restaurant on the second floor of Wolongbao offers sumptuous food, as well as unique refreshments, candies, etc. brought from the East China Sea.
Although Lu Ming felt bored, he still sat for more than half an hour before going up to the third floor. After all, it was the custom of Luo Yi, Luo Er and several black slaves to guard the courtyard. It was an honor for the master to spend time with them.
The same goes for Sanjinpo, Papaya, etc.
After reading for a while and checking the time, at three or four o'clock in the afternoon, Lu Ming called Luo Yi, Luo Er, Dahei, Mrs. Sanjin and Xue Ya.
After a few people went upstairs, Lu Ming thought about it and started talking.
Let me start by saying that even after all the economic and trade delegations evacuate, some armed personnel from the United Matrix will remain.
These armed personnel are actually closely related to me and will be a great help to you.
But we ourselves also need to have an armed force. We will use the Tiger and Camp Team as the basis, and then recruit talented and strong people to form a guard team of about 150 people. It will be the auxiliary force to protect the oil fields in the future. We will allocate weapons from the East China Sea.
Armed escort.
As for training them, in addition to hiring instructors from the United Matrix, Dahei and Xueya will also need to do your best.
"Dahei, you and Xue Ya must cooperate well in the future. You are the captain of the escort team, Xue Ya is the deputy captain, and Sanjinpo, you are the supervisor and the third person in the escort team. Your main purpose is to solve the ideological problems of the escort team members.
.I left a book for you, please go back and read it carefully."
Mrs. Sanjin's beautiful eyes were very bright and she nodded gently.
"The escort team directly obeys the orders of the two chief and deputy representatives Luo Yi and Luo Er. I am not in the Western Region, and they will represent me."
Lu Ming thought about the issue of the loyalty of this escort. In fact, he only needed to make them all accept that he was the messenger of the Three Dragon Gods. This would save trouble.
There is also a letter in the book he left behind, asking Sanjinpo to brainwash the guards repeatedly in this way and establish his lofty status as a divine envoy.
Of course, coupled with the improvement of living conditions, this is the fundamental thing and the driving force for the Guards to remain loyal.
"Well, when I return to Donghai, if there is something urgent, all five of you can call me or send me a message directly."
Lu Ming could talk whatever he thought of, and it was very easy to communicate with the slaves, without having to think about how to say things in an orderly manner.
"If you still have any questions, you can tell them now."
For a long time, no one spoke.
In my previous life, leaders were most afraid of such cold scenes.
But there will be no embarrassment with the slaves.
Mrs. Sanjin suddenly raised her hand. In her previous life, this kind of gesture would have been very popular with the leaders.
Of course, the prerequisite is that the warm-up person says something that the leader likes to hear.
Lu Ming looked at her: "Say."
"Sir, when you arrive in the East China Sea, can you please send some candies? Especially those kind of black sugar candies, Xue Ya loves to eat them so much that his tongue will melt!"
Brown sugar is actually chocolate.
Lu Ming nodded and said with a smile: "Of course, there will be enough snacks for the dozen or so of you." Then he looked at Xue Ya, "However, you should eat less candies, as they are not good for your teeth." What's not good for your health?
Forget it, it’s not easy for people here to supplement their sugar intake. They just rely on fruits, and there are very few types of fruits.
After hearing Mrs. Sanjin's words, Xue Ya was so angry that she bit her lips and blew her hair on her forehead. However, although Mrs. Sanjin was not of the same race as her, she was of a very senior level, so she had to call her grandma, so she couldn't contradict her.
Lu Ming suddenly started talking to her, and when she heard Luo Yi's story, she was stunned. Although she was a little embarrassed and even a little angry, she could only lower her head and mutter a few words, which probably meant that the slave knew.
Lu Ming nodded: "Okay, you all can go. You don't have to see me off tomorrow. I'll get up early and leave!"
