My Wife is a Counsel Chapter 8: Changes
www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of My Wife is an Archon!
Lu Ming had not yet reached his twentieth birthday when he first entered Longgang, including when he met Liuli. Now he is twenty-two and a half years old. Counting the time, it is almost more than three years.
The changes in Longgang can be said to be earth-shaking. The production of the Jiuzhou Group steel plant is already in full swing, and related alloy material plants, new chemical plants, rubber plants, etc. have settled in Longgang.
In addition, although the Heishan Machinery Factory invested by Heishan Investment Company is named "Heishan", in fact the factory is also in Longgang, located on the edge of the Longgang County administrative area, and is very mysterious.
Heishan Machinery Factory is actually a military industrial enterprise that mainly produces armored vehicles, including personnel carriers, tanks, etc.
The imperial military-industrial enterprises were originally underdeveloped, and could even be said to be half-dead.
Lu Ming did not foresee that a world war would break out, but with the awareness of a time traveler, he would not let go of the cabbage-priced military industrial company shares. He held 100% of the shares in the three major military industrial enterprise groups in the empire. Major shareholders of more than 15%.
With the civil strife in the empire, the military-industrial enterprises were immediately on the rise.
But the worst thing is that most of these military-industrial enterprises are in the west, especially the mechanical military industry such as armored vehicles.
Because the original largest customer was the Royal Guards Corps near the imperial capital.
The rest of the local militias are making small fuss and can be ignored.
However, as the war breaks out, shareholders may gradually lose their say.
It's not obvious yet, but if you really confront the second and third princes, in fact, the stocks of those military industrial companies you own will be useless paper.
Moreover, the second prince and the third prince have implemented special management on their domestic military industrial enterprises.
The Black Mountain Machinery Factory was actually a chaotic period when civil strife broke out in the empire, and Lu Ming came here as an emergency "rescue".
The engineers are all the best, including some small equipment, all packaged by the original factory.
Furthermore, the state of St. Darren within the Eastern Economic Union has always had relatively developed heavy industry and can provide production equipment such as machine tools and stamping production lines for military industrial enterprises.
Although it is a traditional settlement area for Westerners, it is located in the southwest of the East China Sea and is also the southwesternmost area of the Eastern Economic Alliance.
But at least they are still allies. In the foreseeable future, if any changes occur, they will be easier to control than the Western States.
In addition, Lu Ming is also planning the production of firearms, ammunition and other weapons.
Today, of course, the Montenegro Army will not purchase infantry weapons and ammunition from the western states to avoid being stuck in the future. There are two main purchasing areas. One is the Houseville Peninsula in the southeastern region, which is the Blue Mountains. Silk can theoretically even inherit the Duke's autonomous territory. The research and development and production of light weapons are popular there, and the prevalence of gangs may be an extension of firearms culture. The second is Hanzhou, which has a large firearms arsenal. In addition to light weapons, heavy machine guns, Mortars are also within its research and development scope, and Lu Ming holds more than 50% of the shares.
But again, if there is a war and unfriendly forces enter Hanzhou, the shares will be of no use at all.
We are planning to operate in the state of Antiguala, which is close to Hanzhou, and we are also taking precautions to create the possibility of quickly controlling the capital of Hanzhou when the situation worsens.
Of course, the technical threshold for the production of firearms and ammunition is relatively low. In Jingyang City, Montenegro Special Economic Zone, production lines have been introduced from Hanzhou and an ordnance factory is being built. I believe that within a few months, Montenegro will have its own rifles and ammunition.
But no matter what, if you can control things like Houseville and Hanzhou, it’s better to have them in your own hands.
After all, it is impossible for all the production capacity of military industrial enterprises to be relocated to small Montenegro.
Driving on the asphalt road in Longgang, Lu Ming had a lot of thoughts about the changes in Longgang. He was also very lucky. As a time traveler, although he felt that it was not necessary, he still followed the time traveler’s intuition and started various tasks very early. A kind of manipulation to purchase shares of military industrial enterprises.
"What are you thinking about?" Christine asked from the passenger seat.
This is a small convertible sports car in the shape of a Beetle, but the carport has fallen down, and it is not driving very fast, because there is a slightly bulky RV behind it.
Longgang has changed a lot. Various companies have settled in Longgang, passenger trains have been connected, and freight transport volume has increased exponentially. New policies have activated various mining industries, and there is also Shili Mountain Villa. At the beginning of this year, Longgang, in addition to Outside of mountain villages, every village in the plains has been connected to asphalt roads.
But the village Lu Ming and Christine went to was very remote, in the Black Mountain Valley.
There is a mountain bike in the RV, so you can go on remote trails.
In addition, the RV is parked at the nearest location. I will stay in the RV tonight. Otherwise, I am afraid it will be midnight if I go back to Longgang County. Moreover, it is already five o'clock in the afternoon, and I am afraid that things will not be finished today.
Hearing Christine ask, Lu Ming smiled and said, "It's nothing. What about you? You look surprised all the time."
"I didn't expect that there are asphalt roads in the northern countryside, but it seems that they were built after you came." Christine nodded approvingly: "Very good, little guy, someone who can benefit the crowd. , are all worthy of praise! ”
Lu Ming stretched out his head helplessly, "Would you like to rub my head and praise me? Mom?!"
Kristine smiled slightly, turned to look at the scenery outside, and ignored him.
……
Sunset Valley Village is a mountain village. In the past, villagers mostly made a living by hunting. Although there is farmland in the valley, it often takes one year to plant and two years to cultivate. Otherwise, the fertility is not enough and there is no harvest at all.
In the past, Sunset Valley Village was an extraterritorial place with fierce folk customs. It was also called "Thief Village" in the past. As the name suggests, the village itself is inseparable from the early thieves and later mountain bandits. The bandits of Lao Jackal , many young people come from this village.
The people of Longgang outside the mountains have a bad impression of this village. For a long time, no one has regarded this village as being under Longgang rule.
Until General Lu wiped out all the bandits, this village was classified as Shanning District.
In Longgang, Lu Ming set up a test field. The entire Longgang County countryside was divided into twenty-three districts. Each district has an average of four to five thousand people. Depending on the geographical environment, there are districts with about a thousand people and some with ten thousand people. area.
Each district elects a "civil affairs committee" to govern itself, and the committee is actually parallel to Longgang's "municipal committee" and does not have a superior-subordinate relationship.
These "civil affairs committees" and "municipal committees" basically have no power and are more like service organizations.
Taxation and the like are integrated from top to bottom, and tax authorities are stationed locally.
The police department is also an integrated entity, and local committees have no jurisdiction.
Each district has a summary procedure court, and complex cases are heard by the Longgang District Court.
However, Lu Ming only implemented this East China Sea system in Longgang to see the effect of the experimental field first.
Lu Ming is still very confident in Longgang's control. If the effect is not good, he can just change it back.
Sunset Valley Village belongs to Shanning District, but the mountain residents of this village, except for going to the market to sell mountain products and buy daily necessities, have basically no contact with the outside world, let alone participate in the election of the civil affairs committee of Shanning District.
This is the first election at the beginning of the year, and no one of the civil affairs committee candidates has gone to the mountains to canvass for votes.
More than 3,000 people in Shanning District have elected four civil affairs committee members. There are basically no staff in the committee. The four people divide the work and manage everything. There is nothing they need to manage, and they are very free. However, the salary is also symbolic. , the village sages also want a reputation, and if they actually do it, they will feel completely different from what they imagined.
When I went into the mountain today, I was accompanied by a committee member named Du Dewang. He was an old man in his seventies, but he was strong and could walk as fast as he could on the more than ten miles of mountain road.
Lu Ming's car parked at Xiaoheyan Village outside the mountains, where the Shanning District Civil Affairs Committee is located. Du Dewang is also a squire in the village.
Originally, the old gentleman was very reserved. He felt that the two young lawyers in their twenties were in a different world and had nothing to talk about.
But after chatting with Lu Ming, he gradually became interested. When he talked about the situation of the committee, he felt all kinds of new.
"Are you tired? Do you want me to carry you?" Lu Ming looked at Christine beside him.
Hearing that Du Dewang said that there was a section of mountain road that had to be climbed and that could not be passed by a mountain bike, Lu Ming was a little reluctant. He was mainly worried that Christine would be too tired, but Christine insisted on going.
She changed into hiking clothes in the RV, into elegant blue and white hiking clothes, holding a hiking pole and wearing fashionable sunglasses. Christine became more and more a young and energetic girl.
"Not tired!" Christine shook her head.
"After passing the front, it's a downhill road, and we're almost there!" Du Dewang pointed to the narrow mountain road ahead. The **** of this section is very steep, and it may be forty or fifty degrees.
"Ah Qi, go and carry Miss Chris on your back." Lu Ming said to a thick and strong girl behind him.
The name Ah Qi is naturally Qing'e, and the one who used to carry a basket for Liuli was a super strong man.
After hearing that he was going to walk on a mountain road, Ah Qi bought a folding chair in Xiaoheyan Village and took it with him. If it is tied to the back, the owner can sit on it. However, the comfort is not as good as a special basket or a single chair. Those who carry sedan chairs must be much different.
“No, exercise is also good!” Christine smiled, “I often go hiking, but I heard that you are very weak, so it seems that’s not the case!”
Lu Ming rubbed his nose, as if it was difficult to reverse his reputation as a weakling. He coughed and said, "I exercise regularly and my physical strength is much better now."
