There is a floating town near the provincial capital of Zhenjiang - Nijia Town. The entire town seems to be on the water. Clear rivers run through the entire town. Various wooden bridges and stone arch bridges stand on the river. From time to time, awning boats pass under the bridge.
Crossed.
Lu Ming was sitting on the second floor of a wooden building near the river, slowly sipping tea.
I bought this house the day before yesterday. It is the ancestral home of Professor Ni from Zhenjiang Normal School, that is, Professor Ni who was supposed to teach me Oracle but unfortunately died of illness.
But after digging three feet into the ground, nothing was found from the ancestral home.
In fact, now that I think about it, Professor Ni’s inheritance of knowledge as the key may be an interpretation of the mysterious world.
The west wind gradually picked up, and I wanted to know more about them. Then I thought of Professor Ni again, but it seemed that it was difficult to continue.
Well, let's go and have a look at Fernald College. After all, it was Mrs. Fernald who introduced her to Zhenjiang to study with Professor Ni.
Professor Ni is disconnected here, maybe Fernald College has some clues.
Moreover, given my current status and resources, it is time for me to have a serious talk with Mrs. Fernald.
There is still half a month before the Chinese New Year, and it is rare for me to have some free time, so I will do more activities.
Currently, Company Commander Wang and Commissioner Zhang are in Xiangxi and the prairie, as the supreme commander and front-line commander, preparing for the campaign to suppress the bandits and ultimately eliminate the remaining enemies in the Baihai Sea.
Commissioner Li is making preparations to go to Xianquan Port in Japan, to manage Japanese connections, and to take advantage of the conflicts between the Kansai Group and other factions to provoke their struggles, thereby weakening their development potential.
Prime Minister Sun Xiangyang handles the complicated affairs of the principality very well. He only needs to control the general direction.
The emperor himself, who often patrols the principality and conducts private visits in disguise, has actually instigated several major cases, and has received enthusiastic support from the people. I don't know whether I should be happy or feel sad about this.
sorrow.
Thinking about it, Lu Ming couldn't help but shake his head.
…
A banner was hung at the gate of Fernald College to warmly welcome outstanding alumnus Kim Mi-yeon back to her alma mater.
Lu Ming almost spit out his mouth water after seeing this. Furthermore, wearing a top hat and a windbreaker, he was driven away impatiently by the motorcade's loudspeaker.
Obviously, the convoy of several black cars was used to pick up and drop off Kim Mi-yeon, and they were definitely not school vehicles. Fernando College did not have such a tradition.
At the Empire Games three years ago, Kim Mi-yeon won the gold medal in rhythmic gymnastics.
Although the war caused many states to miss the competition, making this Empire Games seem less glamorous, under the operation of the sports company, Kim Mi-yeon quickly became a household name sports star, received many high-quality endorsements, and even became a snow dragon
Beautiful girls with beautiful cars in the Phantom series of supercars, large posters and luxury cars to take home together.
Lu Ming didn't know much about her current life, but with little Jennifer taking care of her, she shouldn't go astray.
On the other hand, Xiao Meizhen is getting better and better. Without relying on her own connections, she has also received an invitation from the computer research and development department of Huaxia Laboratory. She can officially join the job after graduating next year. But in fact, she is already working on projects with her tutor in the laboratory.
Speaking of which, it will be New Year's Day in a few days. If Mao calculated, they would be seventeen years old.
I have known them for four or five years, but in the past two years, I have been busy, so I am a little unfamiliar with them.
Feeling deep in his heart, Lu Ming arrived at the top floor of the office building, where Mrs. Fernald was waiting for him in the office.
I appear to be alone, but in fact the fruits of great and small nature are all around me.
Bi Zhu and Liu Li are not too worried about their current safety, because they have one mind and four bodies, which means they have four lives.
Moreover, Daguo's abilities are becoming more and more mysterious. As long as they are by their side, they can become completely invisible and others cannot see where they are.
Thinking about it, there is no force that can know one's whereabouts in subservience in advance, set up an ambush, and kill oneself in front of the big and small fruits.
"Your Highness!" In the office, Mrs. Fernald stood up and bowed.
Lu Ming nodded slightly and said with a smile: "Let me get straight to the point. I failed the test and there is really nothing I can do about it. So, Mrs. Fernald, can you tell me the information I can know now?"
Looking at Lu Ming, Mrs. Fernald's eyes were a little excited, which was not at all like the old lady's usual withdrawn character. Lu Ming also felt a little uncomfortable.
"Your Highness..." Mrs. Fernald wiped away tears, "Does Your Highness know how excited I was when I first met Your Highness?"
The old lady suddenly acted like this, and Lu Ming was at a loss for what to do.
Mrs. Fernald looked at Lu Ming with tears in her eyes, "My ancestor was a humble official, but he was given this important task to manage His Highness's wealth for a period of a thousand years. The original period was approaching, and I thought I was about to take the secret into the coffin."
"How many nights have I felt like crying every time I read my ancestor's suicide note? I also want to know if there are any descendants of the poor royal family who once resisted the terrifying barbarian army in the Far North for us all."
Listening to the old lady's true feelings, Lu Ming was gradually moved.
"I didn't expect His Highness to finally be here. In just a few years, the world has already grown so big." Fernald sighed longly and turned to look out the window. "It's time for my ancestors to rest in peace!"
He looked at Lu Ming again and said with a wry smile: "Actually, Your Highness, compared with the country you have established now, what I can give to Your Highness is really not worth mentioning, but Your Highness doesn't care even if you think about it." As he spoke, he went to the safe.
Next, after opening it, he took out a ledger from inside and handed it over with both hands, "Various industries with total assets of more than 50 million..."
Lu Ming took the account book and looked through it seriously.
In fact, if you think about it, you know that our ancestors called Ancestor Fernald to take care of business in the prosperous land of the West because he was a Westerner and must be a particularly loyal official. However, during the Middle-earth Dynasty, Westerners must have been petty officials and minor officials.
.
Being able to achieve this step, not to mention how much wealth has been managed, but still remembering the promise made thousands of years ago, is extremely precious.
And to be honest, it is quite good to be able to reach 50 million yuan in business to this day.
I was supposed to pass the trial in the initial stage and then get the first bucket of funds to run the world. That would be a huge help.
It's just that I don't take the usual path, but now it seems that the amount of start-up capital is not so amazing.
But no matter what, 50 million is an astronomical amount of assets.
It is the hard work accumulated by the ancestors of Fernald for generations, and the gold and silver left to them will gradually become the wealth of this world.
"Mrs. Fernald, please continue to take care of these properties." Lu Ming solemnly handed the account book back to her and said: "But I have a merciless request. The most difficult thing to attract to my principality is education.
After all, I don’t want to industrialize the principality’s education and become a shackle for the people to differentiate themselves from the beginning. Therefore, Mrs. Fernald, you are very experienced in education..."
Mrs. Fernald's eyes were full of joy, "Your Highness is too polite. I understand your Highness's instructions. I will fully support the education in your Highness's Principality. Your Highness's Principality has five-year compulsory education. The Fernald Group will
Contribute to secondary education in the principality and minimize education costs."
Lu Ming nodded: "Secondary technical schools are also very important, and for the current development of the principality, they can be said to be quite important. I think so..." his voice lowered.
Mrs. Fernald nodded repeatedly after listening to Lu Ming's words, her eyes full of approval.
