my wife is a consul

Chapter 191
Swallowing jujubes like eating jerky, Liu Laocai suddenly coughed, Luo Yi hurriedly handed over the water bottle, Liu Laocai drank it, and thanked Luo Yi with snot and tears.

Luo Yi carried dried meat, compressed biscuits, and green military water bottles with him, which were originally the standard equipment for those mercenaries.

However, according to the security advice provided to the economic and trade group by the military advisers of the United Matrix, it is hoped that each member can carry some dried meat and a jug full of clean water with him.

But most members of the economic and trade group turned a deaf ear to it, and dismissed the equipment provided by the United Matrix.

Of course, if you need it or not, the bill for the joint matrix has already been issued, and the price of these equipment and materials is also very high.

On the other hand, Luo Yiwai was very obedient and kept the advice of the security consultant in mind.

"Slow down..." Lu Ming looked at Liu Laocai stuffing these hard jerky meats that he would usually dislike, stuffing them into his mouth.This experience may not be a bad thing for you, brother.

Finally, Mr. Liu let out a sigh of relief, and looked at Lu Ming with a sad face, "These days, it's all stinky dog ​​food..."

Lu Ming nodded: "Tell me, what's going on? However, you may have to be wronged here for a few days. There is no bail system here, but don't worry, I will send someone to stay here. Anyone who wants to see you must I'm here, and he will arrange your meals for you."

Liu Laocai immediately nodded, pitifully, "Okay, okay, Qianxing, you must rescue me! I'm going to beheaded here..."

Lu Ming nodded: "Let's talk about the people from Fila Petroleum first? Haven't found anyone to help you these days? Didn't you invite them?"

Although Rabbi Fila of Fila Petroleum once gave himself a large amount of political donations, his second brother should be in charge of the oilfield development plan in the Bate City area, so I only contacted Fila through official channels. Pulling Petroleum's office here, but the other party was not very enthusiastic, so I stopped contacting them, and felt faintly that something was wrong here.

Luo Yi next to him took out the booklet and started recording.

Speaking of Feila Petroleum, Liu Laocai gritted his teeth immediately, "These bastards are the ones who tricked me!"

"Now that I think about it, they have never been in good intentions. Hashan's husband is the tour guide they found for me, and they even found a slut to seduce me. That slut also has a husband..."

"Ha, Ha Shan, right? Didn't Ha Shan seduce you?" Lu Ming was slightly taken aback. You don't want to seduce you arranged by others, and finally called Ha Shan on your own?

"Ha Shan..." Liu Laocai sighed softly, "Ha Shan is very good..."

"Anyway, something happened, and the people from Fila Petroleum disappeared, but the day before yesterday, they came and said that if I transferred 90.00% of the property rights to them in my land deed, they would not only guarantee my safety, but also in this lawsuit They will help me get rid of crimes, and they will also help me resolve the land rights dispute with Bailu City... They also said that if you give me 300%, it will be an astronomical figure. And it will last for decades or even hundreds of years, and the income will only increase every year in the future.”

"Fuck them! Even if I die, I won't do it!" Liu Laocai gritted his teeth.

Lu Ming nodded. If the net profit is 3000 to [-] million per year, then this oil field is really a treasure. Fira Petroleum's current oil fields, including the largest oil field, should not be of this scale. Liu Laocai really found a treasure.

With one year's profit, the Empire State Building can be built. Of course, if you add the money to buy the land where the Empire State Building is located, it will take two years of profit.

It's no wonder that some decision makers of Fira Petroleum started to use their brains. It's really too tempting, especially when you think that this guy was picked for nothing, and he still has it for himself?Who doesn't feel jealous?I'm afraid that if the oil field is completely owned by Liu Laocai, the largest individual shareholder of Fila Petroleum may not have a higher net income than Liu Laocai. Isn't this maddening?
But then again, isn't it good luck for the Feila family to make a fortune?The first oil field was also a coincidence, which made it develop from a small noble family at the bottom of the bottom for decades, to a super company with a market value of more than one billion today, and it is still expanding rapidly.

Nowadays, it is an unpredictable era, and outstanding adventurers still have great opportunities to write new legends.

And the next feast for adventurers will have to wait until the Internet age.

Only when the social form changes rapidly, will there be trend-makers who grasp the pulse of the new era.

Thinking about it, Lu Ming said: "So, Ha Shan's husband blackmailed you, I'm afraid he did it without telling the truth to his financial backer. Otherwise, you would really die here in a daze. If you want to say it, you have to thank him."

"I thank his grandma!" Liu Laocai stared at him, "If I can get out alive, I'll kill him!"

Lu Ming nodded: "Tell me about Hashan, in detail, what's going on with you and her..."

Liu Laocai was stunned, looked at Lu Ming's expression, and said cautiously: "She, she is quite pitiful, can you..."

Lu Ming rolled his eyes, "Tell me quickly, I know what to do! Don't see anyone licking anyone, okay?"

Liu Laocai didn't dare to say any more, he was aggrieved, blinked his small eyes, and began to tell.

……

"Brother, are you looking for someone?" Nicole asked curiously as she walked beside Lu Ming.

They said they were going shopping with Nicole, but in fact, there were no shops in the whole town.

The chieftains, even the little chieftains, went to the big city hundreds of miles away to buy things.

As for Bate City, the only small market is for the poor to exchange basic living needs.

Lu Ming and his party walked in this small market.

There are all kinds of dilapidated thatched stalls, selling straw sandals, eggs, duck eggs, oil and salt, rough cloth, and some religious trinkets, etc. In addition, there is a blacksmith shop, which is actually a place for sharpening kitchen knives and repairing agricultural tools. Category.

Most of them also barter, using grain and wheat as currency.

The serfs did not have any means of production, that is, they could not die of starvation. If there was some surplus food in a good harvest year, they would exchange some daily necessities here.

Last year was a good year, so this small market, which only opened every half a month, was very lively.

Although, there are many shopping, but few real transactions.

I saw a peasant woman who sold a basket of eggs, exchanged some cloth, and exchanged some shell hairpins for her daughter, making the ragged little girl dance happily.

Nicole was very curious about everything, so it was fun to visit this dilapidated market.

However, seeing that Lu Ming was always looking at a gathering area of ​​earthen houses leading to the market, Nicole asked Lu Ming curiously, is he looking for someone?

Lu Ming smiled slightly: "No."

In the earth house cluster area, Liu Laocai said that the tour guide Tugou and his wife Hashan live in it. It is considered a free civilian area, and the living conditions are better than most serfs.

Now that it has been confirmed that Fira Petroleum was involved in this case, some of the original ideas cannot be used.

If you take the initiative to find Hazan, you may be used by Fila Petroleum to make a fuss.

If you meet her by accident in this market, you may have a chat with her, as long as the case is not involved and the rules are not violated.

According to Liu Laocai, Tugou and Hashan did not witness their marriage according to local customs, but they have lived together for more than ten years. According to the laws of the East China Sea, it is considered a de facto marriage.

Long Xiang is by Lu Ming and Nicole's side. He is very sure that this is Miss Nicole, the most popular superstar in the entire empire. However, since Mayor Lu doesn't want to pierce the window paper , that can only hold back the excitement in my heart, and dare not say anything more.

It's just that Miss Nicole is now walking on the right side of Mayor Lu, and her own position is a few steps behind Mayor Lu's left, but it seems that she can still smell the faint fragrance of Miss Nicole's body, which is so intoxicating.

Long Xiang didn't dare to look at Ms. Nicole. Even though Ms. Nicole was wearing sunglasses and a big hat, she still couldn't hide her attractive beauty and unique temperament. It's not like ordinary people have the confidence to look up Not to mention, when it was confirmed that it was her, this legendary glamorous superstar seemed to have an extra layer of halo on her body, making people afraid to look up.

Walking in the back, Long Xiang only dared to sneak a glance at the pair of extremely beautiful black and white canvas shoes carrying the slender and straight legs of this superstar, watching the shoes fall together and fall together on the loess, the arcs they draw and the steps they step on. The footprints made are also so beautiful and so fascinating.

Suddenly, Long Xiang felt a little short of breath, and had the urge to rush up and kiss the footprints of those beautiful canvas shoes.

At this moment, there was a commotion in the rear, as if someone was driving the crowd away.

Long Xiang looked back and was slightly taken aback.

Surrounded by a group of guards, it was the patriarch of the Hawkeye Luo family who came hurriedly, Baiqi Councilor Hawkeye Luo, an old man in his 50s, a combination of the famous old fox and eagle, cruel, tough and cunning.

The families in Bate City do not have surnames. After the new patriarchs of each family succeed to the throne, they will be named after the family name.

At this time, Hawkeye Luo and the group were stopped by two burly men armed with live ammunition.

The two sides couldn't understand each other's language, and the eagle-eyed Luo smiled and explained something, but the two burly men just shook their heads, unable to understand.

Long Xiang hesitated, but seeing Luo Yi approaching Lu Ming, it seemed that Mayor Lu wanted her to communicate with him.

Long Xiang just gritted his teeth, walked over quickly, and said with a smile, "Uncle Hawkeye Luo, why are you here?"

Among the four big white flag families, the economical Luo family is the wealthiest, while the Hawkeye Luo family is the most powerful. It is the Hawkeye Luo family who like to buy second-hand guns and cannons from the black market in the gravel city.

Normally, even his father was extremely afraid of this eagle-eyed Luo, and when he saw him, he even took a detour.

I don't know why he came to this dilapidated market, but listening to his explanation, it seems that he wants to meet Mayor Lu.

This is not a good sign.

Long Xiang was thinking about how to make Mayor Lu and him misunderstand, but he saw that Mayor Lu's interpreter was coming.

In desperation, I had no choice but to go by myself. Since I can no longer disturb the communication between Huang and Huang, I can only go along with the flow and act as a favor.

However, Chief Luo the Hawkeye came to this small broken market in person. If he really wanted to meet Mayor Lu, it would be a bit bad.

The Hawkeye Luo family has always been better informed than other families.

Maybe the mayor of Lu is more important than he thinks?
However, his father never showed up. He originally wanted to pick up Mayor Lu and his party to go to the city by himself, and his father had prepared a banquet at home.

But by mistake, Mayor Lu has been busy with his own affairs, so it can only be said that it is night.

But now, Hawkeye Luo came in person, in order to see Mayor Lu, he actually came to this dirty and smelly market that he may have never been to in his life.

There must be a big problem here.

Long Xiang murmured in his heart that something was wrong, but he kept a smile on his face, "Uncle Hawkeye Luo, are you here to see Mayor Lu?"

Hawkeye glanced sideways at him and snorted.

At this time Luo Yi came over, looking at Luo Yi's clothes, Eagle-eyed Luo obviously immediately judged that this was a distinguished guest from the East, and a smile appeared on his face immediately, "Dear lady, may I speak to the mayor?" A few words? Please! My little one is the White Banner Councilor here, named Luo Hawkeye."

Long Xiang almost fell here with a somersault, Uncle Hawkeye Luo? !You are famous for being fierce, what are you doing now?
To be honest, Long Xiang felt very disdainful towards Luo Yi and Luo Er, two pretty beauties from the Western Regions, who wore exotic clothes and became playthings of foreign races. Even if they were captured by force, why didn't they commit suicide?Even if you don't commit suicide, why wear this kind of clothes?It is clear that he has been poisoned by those absurd heresies and betrayed the traditions of his own people.

However, Long Xiang was contemptuous in his heart, and didn't show it on his face.

But he didn't want to see the scene of Hawkeye Luo fawning over this kind of female second devil.

The Hawkeye Luo family has always been the most traditional family, and they hate these rebellious traitors the most, but now, what are you doing?Uncle Hawkeye?

While Long Xiang was dumbfounded, he felt faintly in his heart that it would be worse, but he didn't know where the problem was.

Seeing Long Xiang, Luo went back and whispered something next to Mayor Lu.

Mayor Lu made a gesture, and the two burly men here stepped aside.

Long Xiang's heart sank again. He felt that his family might have taken the lead in some big event, but he might have made a wrong move and would lose everything now.

……

The oil seller came early and took up the best thatched hut. Now Hawkeye gave him a few pennies, and the oil seller gave up the hut with great gratitude.

The eagle-eyed people borrowed tables, chairs and benches from who knows where, wiped them clean, and served local special cheese herbal tea.

Originally, Hawkeye Luo was very eager to invite Lu Ming to his house as a guest, but seeing that Lu Ming really had no interest, he created such a temporary tea shed in the market.

The teacups and teapots found by the eagle-eyed people are obviously new, and they have been scalded with boiling water. The tea sets are still clean.

"How does it taste?" Lu Ming asked Nicole with a smile.

"It's sour, a little salty and a little bit bitter, not bad!" Nicole took a sip and nodded in praise.

The eagle-eyed Luo immediately heaved a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Miss, you don't mind."

He clapped his hands, and an attendant beside him who had been holding a red brocade box took two steps forward and put the brocade box on the table.

Hawkeye Luo opened the brocade box, pushed it in front of Lu Ming, and said with a smile: "My lord can come to this poor country from the prosperous place in the far east, and he has a heart to help the people. Such a righteousness really makes us feel apprehensive and grateful, and even more grateful." It is the blessing of tens of thousands of local people, thinking about it, the villain does not know how to respond to the adult's heart, and the local specialties here, give the adult to think about it, and talk about the villain's heart."

The words translated by Luo Yi made Lu Ming roll his eyes. Is this guy so educated?Play the piano randomly.

However, these maids of the Luo family are usually just background boards, and they seem to really like to read the ancient Chinese literature, but they don't want to, they are a bit talented.

Looking at the wooden box again, he couldn't help being slightly stunned. Inside the box was a small rhombus-shaped emerald. Originally, although this kind of emerald was precious, it was worth thousands of dollars compared to the expensive necklaces worn by ladies from the Eastern Sea. Even the size of tens of thousands of gemstones is still a lot worse, but if you look carefully, you can see that there are faint fairies dancing in the emerald. From a scientific point of view, there are impurities in it, but it is so lifelike that it makes this emerald green. Emerald, more and more dazzling.

Long Xiang, who was sitting at the side thinking about something silently, was even more surprised when he saw the emerald in the box.

It is rumored that Hawkeye Luo's family has a family heirloom, which is a gem imprisoned by the Moon Goddess, but I have only heard about it and never seen it. It seems that it is this gem.

Take it out like this?Moreover, just an understatement of "local specialties"?
What the hell is Mayor Lu doing here?

Long Xiang's heart was cold, it was over, he was confused, he didn't know what was going on, and he was about to be cut off, afraid that he would be beaten to death by his father.

Lu Ming also looked at the emerald, then smiled slightly, and pushed the wooden box back, "It's a pity, there are a few aunts and wives in my family, and here is my own sister, such a treasure, whoever I give it to, someone will love it." Say I'm biased, so let's forget it."

From Luo Yi's translation, this eagle-eyed Luo said that he "has the heart of helping the people". He certainly didn't mean this kind of vocabulary, but it probably meant the same thing.

Therefore, it is obvious that this old man with falcon-like eyes is well-informed and knows that he and his party will do some assistance projects when they come here. Usually, these projects have low-interest loans and free grants.

This is the first time he has come to order a cake. He said this gem is a "specialty product" lightly, but he is proficient in communication skills, and he knows how to send a bribed gift smoothly.

This gem looks like a family heirloom. If he is willing to take it out, he will ask for more from those items. He is afraid that if he does not earn ten times, he will feel like a blood loss.

Although the project can be done for anyone, but as long as the behind-the-scenes transactions are carried out, the possibility of rottenness is greatly increased.

Coming here, to be honest, besides helping Liu Laocai, I also really want to make some income from here, so it's not in vain to come here.

But the "benefits" in my eyes are not these small favors, let alone to further squeeze those miserable serfs.

Therefore, there is no need to think about it at all, and I will not accept this thing myself.

Moreover, this emerald is worth ten thousand yuan at most, but it is indeed relatively rare. If you give it to a girl, it will have a hundred times the effect.

But it's just a vulgar fan. Looking at Nicole, she didn't care too much at all, but turned her head and looked curiously at those pedestrians who were far away.

Over there, Hawkeye Luo was obviously startled when he saw Lu Ming pushing the wooden box back.

Lu Ming smiled and said: "Our regiment, in fact, I am the deputy head of the regiment, and the official letter is in the hands of the regiment leader. Originally, I thought that these matters would only be discussed when most of them arrived and met with the city lord, but it seems Eagle-eyed Mr. Luo has more or less listened to the sound, so how about it, Long Xiang, you listen to it too."

Long Xiang immediately perked up and leaned forward.

Hawkeye Luo was a little unwilling, the top-secret news was supposed to be heard by this kid, and he frowned slightly, but there was nothing he could do about it.

Lu Ming said: "Yes, we are here not only because investors want to see resources here, but we also decided to provide some assistance to the local area, which can be regarded as an extension of our East China Sea Friendship Alliance plan. Take a look at your place. Medical care, school education, we can help, and we will make project allocations. Of course, not only Bite City, but more than a dozen city-states in this area are all in our assistance plan. Whoever gets it in the end, use you In other words, which city-state gets more help, or less, or doesn't get our help, depends on our comprehensive assessment."

"But one thing, I also looked at it from the helicopter. To build a railway from here to Gravel City, I think that Bate City is really a good starting point. Moreover, before I came here, I also consulted with experts related to Fira Petroleum. As for the evaluation of road construction in this area, Fira Petroleum also has a plan to build a railway from this area to Grit City. We will communicate with Fira Petroleum, hoping to reach a cooperation. As for the railway operation rights and investment shares, etc., we will discuss after these negotiations , and it does not involve you. But in general, I think this project will definitely be implemented. At that time, what changes will happen to Bate City. You have an idea in advance. As for the project, it will definitely benefit you. There will be Some small projects need you to do, the specifics still depend on it.”

"We are here this time. We are planning to provide 50 yuan for the free aid project, and Baoyin Bank's low-interest loan project. The specific amount of loan you will provide depends on the evaluation of the project you are applying for."

After thinking about it, Lu Ming said, "That's about it."

Hawkeye Luo and Long Xiang's eyes became brighter and brighter.

Long Xiang's heart was pounding even more, he was really a fool, seeing how Hawkeye Luo did it, he was still too far behind to take over from his father.

But what does Mayor Lu like?

The eagle-eyed Luo family's precious family heirloom, he didn't even blink his eyes. In fact, thinking about it, he is only a little old, and he is the deputy mayor of a town under the jurisdiction of Donghai. What kind of aristocratic family is that?Will money be able to impress it?
woman?Forget it, the one who was walking with him, using the description of peerless beauty is not enough to describe her weight. This legendary superstar can be said to be an epoch-making symbol. Confederation, if most people have any common hobbies, I'm afraid they appreciate the movies she starred in. Both men and women love her to the point of madness, but that kind of love has different meanings.

All the beauties in the Western Regions can't compare to her toenails.

As for Mayor Lu, he seemed to be the stronger party when getting along with her. She seemed to obey what he said.

Then Mayor Lu, who is he?
Alas, I should have thought of it a long time ago, but she is nearby, even breathing the same air as her, how can I still have a brain?
However, she was wearing a mask, and she was far away. I was afraid that I couldn't breathe the carbon dioxide she spit out, right?
Long Xiang was stunned again, wanting to slap himself.

That's all, don't think about it, you have to go back and think about it, what can impress this mysterious Mayor Lu?

　I ran to the top ten again in history, so I desperately called for the monthly pass. I thought it would be settled this month, but since it has risen again, and there are still monthly passes, please vote for the army. Many people read this book, thank you!
