He said he wanted to invest locally, but the talks with Huangfuyuan, the governor of the county, were not smooth. The other party was very bland and didn't care much about foreign investment.
The "shi" clans in the three central provinces all have compound surnames. If compared with Lu Ming's previous life, they are Huangfu, Gongsun, Sima and the like.
Huangfuyuan recommended a guide, Ouyang Rong, the county's education assistant, who was a pretty girl in her early twenties.
Lu Ming has studied all the systems in the three central provinces in the past few days, and feels that the education officers are similar to the moral police, mainly checking and correcting people's lifestyles that are not in line with the Three Talents Teachings.
Its military and police system is integrated. Each county has three to four hundred to five to six hundred military policemen. They are all from the gentry and are called Zhengfa soldiers. The education officers also belong to the Zhengfa system, but they are flexible law enforcement. When using Zhengfa soldiers,
The crime is serious and requires thunderbolt measures.
As for the education officer guide recommended by Huangfu, I'm afraid it has more of a surveillance role.
Since the cold weapon era, the Anshan people in the north of the Yangtze River have not dared to stroke the beards of tigers in the three central provinces, for fear of being beaten by the Dharma soldiers.
The Zhengfa soldiers all came from noble families, and had family armors and sophisticated weapons. They fought with a sense of honor that sacrificed their lives for righteousness. They were simply not comparable to the mob in Anshan. When it came to a large-scale attack, the Zhengfa soldiers from the three provinces in central China gathered together. Based on the population at that time,
It would be equivalent to dispatching tens of thousands of heavily armored cavalry, and if it really turned into a national war, it would become a conflict between the Kingdom of Griffin and the Northern Territory.
Therefore, the three central provinces have always been peaceful and stable.
But today's times are different, the empire is divided, and the Anshan region in Jiangbei has become the Principality of Montenegro.
Now that Commissioner Li has come here as the trade representative of the Principality of Montenegro, he will inevitably arouse suspicion among the locals.
Seeing the little girl's unabashed vigilance, Lu Ming could only shake his head helplessly.
…
In the restaurant, prices are very cheap, and there are three classes of people dining there. In this regard, it is fair. There are no private rooms for nobles. Over time, the three classes have become accustomed to thinking that in fact, the difference between the three classes is the social division of labor.
That's all.
But after tasting the dishes on the table, Lu Ming coughed and could only say that they were bland and tasteless.
The variety of dishes is small because there is a very small floating population here and there is no competition from outside restaurants. Most of the outsiders who come to live here for a period of time can't stand it anymore and move away.
Lu Ming was actually planning to leave at dawn tomorrow. Now in the evening, the safety factor of flying is not as high as during the day. Although it doesn't matter if the weather conditions are good, safety still comes first.
As for the three central provinces, I can do whatever I want as long as it doesn't affect my overall situation, and I don't have the time to reform them.
What's more, what kind of life is suitable for which kind of ethnic group, and what kind of lifestyle is better? No one is a god and has no right to decide.
"Rong Rong, tell me, if I, the Principality of Montenegro, want to reach a peaceful and friendly agreement with your three provinces, who should I turn to? Turn to the leader?" Lu Ming pondered for a while and suddenly asked.
Ouyang Rong frowned slightly, "Rong Rong" was the name her cousin Huangfu Yuan called her, but this guy was so carefree that he followed suit.
Holding back the displeasure in her heart, she said: "The leader doesn't pay attention to these common things."
Lu Ming was helpless: "I want to reach a strategic-level agreement, what should I do? Should we negotiate county by county?"
Ouyang Rong nodded lightly: "That's right. In the past, we paid taxes to the kingdom, and each county paid its own. The members of the Sancai Church were united when encountering foreign enemies, but other matters were decided by each county.
.”
Lu Ming picked up the unpleasant drink and didn't bother to pay attention to her anymore.
…
At night, after closing his eyes in that simple hotel, Lu Ming returned to Black Mountain Shili Villa.
But unexpectedly, Liuli said with a strange expression that Baozhu Palace had arrived at Zhenjiang Langyuan Palace, which was Alice's palace.
Obviously, there must be something important to discuss.
Lu Ming didn't care if it was night or not, he got on the special plane and headed to Zhenjiang, with Liuli following him.
…
The main body of Langyuan Palace is a complex of oriental-style palace buildings, with beautiful buildings and jade buildings among the mountains and rivers.
However, there are also Western white palaces, which complement the entire palace. Lu Ming thinks that it is probably similar to the combination of Chinese and Western styles in the Old Summer Palace in the previous life.
Alice likes to live in a Western-style palace named "Ninghe Hall", which is named in a very oriental style.
In fact, when he walked into the reception room "Huiningxuan" on the second floor of the extremely luxurious Ninghe Hall, Lu Ming was dizzy. He really felt like he was in a dream. It was hard to imagine that Princess Alice, Bizhu and Liuli were like this.
A scene where three gods can appear together, and these three gods are all his nominal wives.
"Huiningxuan" was very big, and Lu Ming vaguely understood where he should sit, which was next to Alice, in the center seat.
Bizhu and colored glaze, one in the east and one in the west.
The three of them were on separate sides, far away from each other. Lu Ming, who was far away, seemed to be unable to see Bizhu's face clearly. Of course, it was mainly because of his dizziness.
Alice wears a snow-white gauze dress, wears a golden crown on her head, and seems to have a halo around her body. She is truly a pure little angel descended from the Western God Realm.
The fluttering green silk ribbons and colorful skirt give people an unreal feeling of being surrounded by colorful clouds, just like seeing a fairy from the Nine Heavens and feeling a sense of worship.
Beyond Liuli, the sky is filled with red clouds, and the infinite charm in her pretty face seems to be floating in the red clouds, just like a demon fox that wants to turn the world upside down and devour the world, looming in the void.
Lu Ming shook his head, and these hallucinations gradually disappeared.
"Your Highness, it is the proper etiquette for you to live in the middle palace forever to cultivate yourself and govern the country!" Bi Zhu's first words made Liuli frown slightly, and a faint chill came from the west.
Then Liuli smiled softly: "Sister, I can't blame His Highness for this. Black Mountain is the central place where Your Highness commands the overall situation. How can you leave it lightly?"
Lu Ming was helpless. The little temptress changed the topic and tried to change his relationship with Bizhu. Bizhu clearly accused her secretly.
Bi Zhu smiled: "Then my sister should advise His Highness to move the center to the middle palace, or should my sister and Her Highness change their residences?"
This chapter is not over yet. Please click on the next page to continue reading! Lu Ming was startled. He didn’t expect you to be very good at Bi Zhu... He waved his hand and said, "Let me think about this problem. In front of outsiders..."
The words stopped suddenly and he turned around to see Alice looking at him eagerly with her big clear eyes.
Lu Ming coughed, he said too much and made too many mistakes.
"Let's see, I'll build a big house later, and our whole family will move in together!" Lu Ming said randomly.
"Okay!" Liuli smiled sweetly.
Bi Zhu rolled her eyes and didn't bother to say anything more. This His Highness was always messy and didn't look like a His Highness.
"Your Highness, I came here this time for the Land of Sancai. I suspect that the Land of Sancai is the land of legal authority left by Zhengfawei!"
Lu Ming was startled by Bizhu's words.
Oh, Zhengfawei.
In this way, the four guards of Tianshan have their appearance: Baozhu Palace, Liuli Palace, Shenku Guard and Zhengfa Guard.
It's just that the Shenku Guard has been demoted, and the Zhengfa Guard doesn't know what will happen.
A page of paper slowly floated in front of Lu Ming. It was Bizhu's record of everything she knew about the Zhengfa Guard.
Zhengfawei is the inheritance of the legal tradition left to you by your ancestors, but it is not a secret inheritance in the traditional sense.
But those who have the blood of the Zhengfa Guards will naturally have a noble character and be able to distinguish between loyal and traitorous people.
Lu Ming couldn't help but shake his head as he looked at it. These concepts were out of date. How to define the so-called loyalty and traitor?
But according to the records, this Zhengfawei inheritance definitely has a way of preaching and influencing the world. After all, it is not the kind of missionary who says one thing and does another.
But if we continue to use its laws to rule the world, forget it.
Putting down the paper and looking around, Lu Ming was helpless: "Why are you sitting so far away? Come on, let's chat somewhere else!"
…
After ten minutes, they changed to the chess and card room. Lu Ming was not satisfied with the small reception room and tea room, so he finally chose the chess and card room, with a table separated by four people, each sitting on one side.
"Alice, why don't you talk much? The last time I came to see you, we didn't say a few words. I always felt that there was a gap between you and me." Lu Ming suddenly asked with a smile.
"I'm observing." Alice blinked her big clear eyes, "I'm observing you and your people."
Liuli chuckled: "So, Your Highness, what do you think of me?"
"I like Sister Bizhu better." Alice wrinkled her nose.
The sweet smile on Liuli's pretty face remained, "You are such a cute little person!"
"Liu Li, don't be so rude to the middle palace!" Bi Zhu said and looked at Alice, "Your Highness Princess, Liu Li and I have been bound for thousands of years. Noisy fights are in our blood, but when we fight against foreign enemies, our bones are the same.
Acupoint! The princess married His Highness, so she should regard the two of us as biological sisters. The three of us are the closest people to His Highness. Your Highness, am I right?"
Lu Ming was sweating after hearing this. No way, at such a young age, Alice deliberately said that she preferred Bizhu to instigate the relationship between Bizhu and Liuli? It was unintentional, right?
"I know!" Alice stuck out her tongue, looking innocent and cute.
After coughing, Lu Ming stretched out his hand, "That's right, our whole family and He Meimei, come and shake hands together!"
Although I also know in my heart that in front of these three guys who have their own agenda, I am acting more like a second-rate person.
"Why, what I said is useless, right?" Seeing that none of the three people responded, Lu Ming stared.
"Your Highness, I'm afraid of overstepping my bounds, so I'm waiting for my two sisters!" Liuli smiled charmingly, "That slave will be the first to come!" Bai Shengsheng put his little hand into Lu Ming's palm.
Alice's big clear eyes blinked, and she also stretched out her little hand and placed it on Liuli's hand.
Bizhu reluctantly reached out her delicate hand and placed it on top.
Lu Ming's other hand covered Bizhu's slender hand, and he closed his hands to hold the three of their small hands. He said with a smile: "We must remember this moment, He Hemeimei's family, unite! Work hard! Struggle!"
Liuli agreed with a sweet smile, the look in Bi Zhu's eyes was clearly that you are so stupid, Alice blinked her big eyes and suddenly said: "Don't we need to drink blood wine to swear an oath? Be sworn sisters?"
Liuli smiled coquettishly and withdrew her delicate jade hands.
Bizhu gently flicked away Lu Ming's hand that wanted to hold her tightly, and said to Alice: "We should be closer than biological sisters! After biological sisters get married, they are no longer a family."
Alice's little hand was still in Lu Ming's palm, but now she retracted it, a trace of loss flashed through her clear blue eyes.
Lu Ming was slightly stunned, but then he understood that although his behavior must be quite average in the eyes of Bizhu and Liuli.
But Alice has never experienced this. From the day she was born, her special status has prevented anyone from getting close to her. She has never experienced feelings of family affection, protection, etc. Just now, several people suddenly held hands very intimately.
Being together is a very novel feeling for her.
He smiled at Alice: "Little guy, Bizhu, Liuli, I, and I will protect you! You can play here peacefully and wait for your awakening! We will talk about it then."
Alice sighed slightly, "Everyone knows that there is another person in my body, and they are all waiting for her to wake up, but..." She lowered her head sadly.
Lu Ming looked at her, gently stretched out his hand to hold her little hand, "Don't worry, from what I know, she won't erode your mind. When the time comes, you will still be you, and she will reshape her body."
These are what Bizhu and Liuli said, but Bizhu and Liuli probably don't know what this little guy is worried about at this moment.
"Really?" Alice opened her eyes wide in surprise.
Lu Mingxin said that it is not impossible to share a physical body with you. After all, in the Age of Dharma Ending, there is little chance that she can reshape her physical body just after awakening.
He smiled and said: "Anyway, you must still exist. I can guarantee this. Otherwise, your two sisters and I will destroy her so that she can't wake up."
Alice shook her head gently: "But, I don't want her to wake up. She is very pitiful, isn't she?"
Lu Ming sighed inwardly, this child is really pitiable.
"Your Highness, what are you going to do with the Zhengfa Guards?" Bizhu asked.
Lu Ming thought for a while, "Let's leave it alone for now. Since it won't be an obstacle, it's good."
Bizhu said: "I think the system of Zhengfa soldiers can train an elite division. If not, I will go and talk to the leader?"
You may also know that the so-called leader is a descendant of Zhengfa Wei.
Lu Ming smiled: "I'll talk about this after thinking about it. Bizhu, has Shazhi returned to the East China Sea?"
Bizhu nodded lightly.
Kuroki Saori has left Kyoto. After all, the situation in Japan is over, and if she continues, she is afraid that she will be exposed.
Lu Ming said: "There's not much to do in the East China Sea. Shazhi can also take care of the training of Hu Ben." After a pause, "Just in time, I'm going to the Western Regions. You can go with me. We went to the East China Sea together back then. I
I still miss those days. Now the Western Region is like a dragon's pond and a tiger's den. With you here, I feel at ease."
Bizhu pondered for a moment and nodded slightly.
Lu Ming's heart immediately burst with joy, and with a calm expression on his face, he said: "That's great. I'll go back to Japan to prepare. You three can chat more, Liuli, and take me back to Shili Villa."
Liuli pursed her lips and smiled: "Okay!"
Lu Ming glanced at Alice and said, "You can go to Shili Villa later. There are many animals there, including monkeys, and it's more fun than here."
"I still like it here!" Alice said lightly. The little guy obviously also has his own pride.
Lu Ming was helpless. It seemed that he really had to choose a site to build a big house.
Shengjing feels good. It is the center of the Northern Territory and the northern capital of the previous dynasty. It was the place where the Northern Barbarians were suppressed. It would be good to build a palace there.
Build a palace like a high-rise building? It seems to be very unique.
