In the 1500-meter terrace garden and swimming pool, the breeze rippled the pool of clear water, and it was like a dream under the night lights.
Next to the sunshade and the colorful flowerbed, Lu Ming lay lazily on the deck chair, reading a document.
It was a notification of civil strife in Anshan, but peasant riots and even military mutinies often occurred in Anshan. All parties in the northern region were accustomed to it. In the Gongtang Bureau, this civil strife did not cause any discussion.
It seemed to be quite a big deal, involving three Taoists, and even one Taoist had his head cut off and hung on the city gate to show the public.
It is also difficult to say what the nature of this civil strife is. Participants include refugees, landlord militia groups, and large-scale soldiers who are owed wages.
Seeing Lu Ming shaking his head, Anshan is like a Shura field, with constant wars. The people living there probably have the biggest extravagant hope that they will not encounter wars in the new year, and can live a stable life for a year, not just food and clothing.
This luxury problem of not having enough food and clothing.
After putting it down, he picked up another document.
Just as he was looking at it, Lu Ming suddenly turned his head and said with a smile: "Grandma Long, are you still not asleep?"
Standing next to her with her lowered eyebrows and straight eyes was Granny Camel Long.
"Master, don't stay up late, Lady Liuli has warned me!" Granny Tuolong looked solemn.
Lu Ming was helpless and had just returned from Roswell, where he celebrated his 22nd birthday.
According to what Liuli and Hanzhu told Bizhu, their lives have entered a new stage. This year and next, they must pay special attention to health care, not stay up late, and ensure five hours of sleep every day.
To put it in a mystical way, it's like the dragon sheds its scales and transforms for the first time, and I don't know what happened.
But it is true that I had just celebrated my birthday and it seemed that I suddenly felt tired easily. I would fall asleep on the pillow and sleep for ten or eight hours at a time.
"Okay, stop reading! Go back to your room and rest!" Lu Ming stood up.
Grandma Tuolong breathed a sigh of relief and showed a happy expression on her face. Her master had a vague sense of respect for her elders. She knew it clearly in her heart. She was grateful and felt warm.
…
Lu Ming was startled when he entered the magnificent bedroom. In front of the golden curtain of the luxurious moon cave bed, stood two magnificent figures, Mrs. Audrey and Mrs. Britney, both wearing gorgeous black gauze dresses, with shame and anger on their faces.
color.
Granny Camel Dragon followed behind Lu Ming and said at this time: "Master, their fates are fire. The old slave sees that this is the time when life is burning, so he can warm the master's feet."
Lu Ming coughed and blew the glass. In the past two years, he needed a body with strong destiny to keep his feet warm while sleeping, because his feet were the roots of his divine body, and his transformation also started with his feet.
She was probably the kind of foot-warming girl in her previous life who would hold her feet in her arms when sleeping.
But isn’t this nonsense?
"Forget it!" Lu Ming waved his hand and was suddenly startled.
However, I caught a glimpse of Audrey and Britney's black gauze nightgowns with palm-sized holes on their lower abdomens, revealing a patch of snow-white skin.
Obviously, that is the door for you to put your foot in.
He quickly turned away and said to Grandma Tuolong: "Take them with you! I said, no need!"
Born under the red flag and raised in a new society, even though today's thoughts have been greatly corrupted, it is still too bullying and humiliating. It is better to be afraid of occupying them than this kind of humiliation.
Seeing the master's stern tone, Granny Camel Dragon did not dare to insist, and whispered: "But, master, please always soak your feet, and let these two fire girls wash your feet and clear the meridians."
"No need, I can make it myself!" Lu Ming looked at Camel Dragon, "Stop talking about it."
"Since the master doesn't like them, I will go look for them tomorrow. In the master's house, her two are the most prosperous. The other few are weaker and can be used reluctantly..." Grandma Tuolong felt a little regretful.
, a foot-warming fire girl, it is best to have strong fire in your life. It doesn’t matter whether you like it or not. She is not a personal maid, let alone a concubine. Even gender is not that important, right? There are indeed men who are fire girls.
fate.
Lu Ming waved his hand: "You go ahead!"
Seeing that Mrs. Audrey and Mrs. Britney didn't dare to move, they didn't know why they were frightened by Granny Hunchback. They are not immortal. The most miserable thing about people is that they can't survive but can't die.
Audrey and the others have experienced that terrifying dungeon, and they all know what such a nightmare is like.
Lu Ming looked at Grandma Tuolong.
Granny Camel Dragon waved her hand helplessly, and Audrey and Britney left as if they had been granted amnesty.
…
In the study in the morning, Lu Ming stretched and felt very energetic.
Every time I go back to Montenegro, I feel like I have recharged my batteries, not to mention that this time I am going to Roseville to celebrate my birthday and reunite with my girls.
"Master, how do you feel?" Granny Camel Dragon stood beside the desk like a ghost, with concern on her face.
"It's very good!" Lu Ming picked up the letter and read it.
"Master, you don't need a hot girl to warm your feet every day..."
Lu Ming looked at her: "Isn't that why you're looking for me?"
"Oh, I can't hide anything from the master." Grandma Camel Dragon apologized, "The old slave accidentally discovered something about choosing a fire girl for the master yesterday. Well, this is what the Western slave named Margaret told me." Hand over a few
He wrote a piece of paper and said with a smile: "The master has confirmed his destiny. Those four Western slaves, as well as the Pei family and the Zou family, are all destined to be fire girls. They are prepared by God for the master."
Lu Ming was too lazy to pay attention to her, picked up the piece of paper and read it casually, but after a few glances, his expression became serious.
But it was Margaret who revealed that her husband was actually a business partner with the opium king James, but due to his reputation, her husband secretly invested in James's industry.
The opium business in Anshan District and Anshan Province was originally controlled by her husband. The operators transferred the money to an account at Fila Bank in the Central District. She knew that the account had a more secure code, and it was in Fila Bank.
In a safe, the contact information of the opium distributors in Ansan Province controlled by her husband were kept.
"The opium business in Anshan..." Lu Ming pondered. As for what Margaret told her about the safe and the gold bars hidden by her husband, it didn't feel like a surprise. Even if the safe was worth hundreds of thousands or more,
Millions of gold bars, for me now, can't inspire any excitement at all, it's better than nothing.
"Call Margaret." Lu Ming made a gesture.
Tobacco and other drugs, which are not explicitly prohibited in the Northern Territory, have destroyed many families.
Through education in the previous life, I instinctively disliked and resented drug dealers and drug lords.
However, in fact, even if the so-called opium king James is punished, a new James will emerge.
How did the governors of the four northern provinces feel that drugs were a hazard to their rule, and that the root solution was not the wealth brought by high taxes.
For me, if I can gain some benefits during this period, it will be even more rewarding.
