The parliamentary day on the 30th was uneventful. The proposal to repeal the "Law on Temporary Freezing of Rental Prices for Ordinary Residential Housing" was not raised by the members. Therefore, the full-day meeting turned into a friendly consultation meeting to discuss some hot issues.
During the discussion, some members also gave full speeches.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, there was nothing to do, and the speaker adjourned the meeting.
Lu Ming left quickly because an unexpected person came to see him.
…
The Guanhe Pavilion of Wolong Xiaoguan is a teahouse like a boat by the river. At this time, in a pavilion on the second floor, looking out from the red window sill, there is already a little green in the clear river, and it is the little lotus that is showing its tip.
The time of horn.
Sitting opposite Lu Ming was a thin old man. Hearing Lu Ming praise that "Xiao He is just showing his sharp horns", he was slightly startled, then smiled and said: "I didn't expect that our Qianxing committee member is a barrister and a great talent. It's really
The talents of our party!”
This thin old man, Fang Shouwang, is the whip of the Ecumenical Party and the whip of the entire Ecumenical Party in the empire.
At the same time, he is also the leader of the Donghai Party Headquarters of the Grand Duke Party.
The Donghai Party Headquarters is a party branch in one region, six states, and one province including the Donghai Region, all under the leadership of the Donghai Party Headquarters.
In terms of the order of the entire empire, the Ecumenical Party is the third-ranked political party in the opposition alliance.
Among all the imperial parties, it occupies seats in the Federal Imperial Parliament and the House of Commons of the Kingdom of Grifenni, ranking fifth.
There was also a glorious period of coalition governance with other parties.
Even though it is currently in opposition, it is a force that no super-large party dares to underestimate.
Fang Shouwang, Fang Lao, ranks third in the order of his party.
He is also one of the five members of the Donghai Municipal Committee and the Minister of Energy in the Shadow Cabinet of the House of Commons of the Kingdom of Grifenni.
From every angle, Mr. Fang can be regarded as an empire-level politician. He has reached the threshold of the top circles of the empire's political circles, but there is still a layer of window paper left.
After all, he has never actually entered the kingdom's cabinet and became a cabinet minister.
The so-called shadow cabinet is a preliminary cabinet team set up by the opposition alliance to come to power. It is usually used to oppose the real cabinet.
Lu Ming didn't know why he made an appointment with him and came to Wolong Restaurant in person.
At this time, he casually transformed it into a poem in Zhongzhou dialect with a more appropriate context, but Mr. Fang was amazed after hearing it.
But Fang Lao pointed to the silver belt like the Wolong River and said with a smile: "Thousands of lines, the river scenery is very beautiful, how about each of us write a poem? I want ancient rhyme poetry."
Lu Ming spread his hands: "Mr. Fang, I really don't know how to do this. What I just casually recited was done by a good friend of mine."
Mr. Fang obviously didn't expect Lu Ming to answer like this, and smiled slightly: "You are too lazy to deal with an old man like me, right?"
Lu Ming actually felt that he was too lazy to waste this time. Otherwise, how difficult would it be to slightly transform those famous articles from his previous life?
"Well, today's young people have to be efficient in everything they do. As for us old men, we are all living on the same side. We are outdated, outdated, and cannot keep up with the development of the times. My grandson asked me, do you know what science fiction is?
Do you know the possible forms of aliens? It’s a movie called Lost in Space, it’s very inspiring to the imagination.”
Mr. Fang sighed as he spoke: "Now, it is really an era of information explosion!"
…
Looking at Lu Ming: "So, I am happy from the bottom of my heart that a young man like you has appeared in our party. I have always wanted to wait until the leader of your branch is confirmed to be you, and then I will meet you. Who knows?
This branch of yours can't retreat from Zhaoqing, right? It's time for him to live a good life, and you should let him worry less."
The Qing Lao has resigned, and he should have resigned as party leader.
But I didn’t expect that our party would appoint two people to this municipal committee, Lu Ming and Dong Wenquan.
The party leader should originally be a municipal committee member of the party. Historically, the Beiguan branch of the Grand Duke Party has not had two municipal committee members.
This has led to different opinions within the party. Although the voices supporting Lu Ming as party leader are louder, there are also voices supporting Dong Wenquan, who believe that the 19-year-old party leader is too childish.
In this way, in order to avoid a split within the party, Qing Lao could only reluctantly continue to be at the helm and wait for the right opportunity to determine his successor.
"There is an old brother in Qing Dynasty who came to me to say that you are too young." Mr. Fang said intentionally or unintentionally, looking out the window as if he was attracted by the beautiful scenery.
Lu Ming smiled, knowing that he thought he was young and didn't understand why the voices within the party supporting Dong Wenquan suddenly became louder.
However, I also understand Qing Lao. For senior and powerful people who are gradually aging, everything else is fine and they may be very open-minded. But delegating power? It should be the most difficult hurdle.
Two municipal committee members appeared in the party, and Qing Lao suddenly realized that he could take advantage of this to remain in the position of party leader.
Originally, he was already out of favor before the election, which may have made him extremely unbalanced, making him even more nostalgic for the power in his hands.
And now, by taking advantage of the struggle for the party leader's successor, both the factions themselves and Dong Wenquan will win over his support, allowing him to continue to enjoy the glory of the past.
How could I not know this? Even Sister-in-Law Jiu mentioned it to herself in a vague way.
Looking at Mr. Fang, Lu Ming smiled and said: "I am indeed too young. I think we can't do without Mr. Qing for the time being. With Mr. Qing at the helm, I feel confident."
Fang Shouwang took a deep look at Lu Ming and nodded: "It seems that you are very open-minded, good! Talent is a talent!"
This compliment has a completely different tone from the previous polite words.
Then he smiled slightly: "As for the youngest mayor, it's not your turn. More than ten years ago, there was a seventeen-year-old mayor, right?"
Lu Ming smiled: "Yes." However, it was just a small town with a few thousand people. But from the administrative division, it was a town directly under the prefecture. It was at the same level as Beiguan, and the idiot had worked for one term.
, and was selected.
This world is different from my motherland in my previous life, and more like the West at the same time. A city like Beiguan with hundreds of thousands of people is a big city in any state.
Mr. Fang nodded: "So, what's the problem with age? I don't blame my grandson for saying that we are all old-timers. I think there are many such old-timers in the party."
Lu Ming couldn't answer the call, so he picked up the tea cup and drank tea.
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore! I see you, there is still something I need your help with, Qianxing." Mr. Fang smiled, "The old man who recommended you to Mantangmei was a good friend of mine. We also have three friends.
I haven’t seen each other for more than ten years. Yesterday, he suddenly called me and asked me for help. Come here
Be his lobbyist, haha! This guy has always looked down on us who engage in politics, and often scolded us that politicians are not human beings, but now he is begging me for help, haha, haha!" He laughed happily twice, obviously,
This old friend bowed his head to him, which made him feel very comfortable.
…
Lu Ming was startled. Man Tang Mei was Li Youmei's stage name.
"Of course, depending on the situation, Anton is not a good place. It's better not to go if you can." As he said that, Mr. Fang shook his head.
Anton and several other provinces are provinces directly under the kingdom's jurisdiction, and the cabinet directly appoints governors-general, commonly known as senior officials.
Senior officials not only directly appoint administrative officials in the three departments and eight bureaus, but also directly appoint members of the Executive Yuan and the Legislative Yuan.
He is almost the same as the governor of Hong Kong before his return to China in his previous life.
Although the terms of these high-ranking officials are very short, and the longest term does not exceed ten years, during their tenure, they are the real emperors of the country.
As an isolation zone and buffer zone that once guarded the four northern provinces, perhaps senior figures in the empire believed at that time that only dictatorial mobilization could fight against dictatorship.
Therefore, the strange system of the five Jiangnan provinces was formed.
Basically, the five provinces south of the Yangtze River should be the areas that the empire once truly regarded as colonies. It has never become a grand duchy, let alone a grand duchy.
Hundreds of years of investment in education, etc., are much different from the empire's "homeland".
The five provinces south of the Yangtze River are also the poorest areas in the Kingdom of Grifenni, except for a few areas in the west.
However, compared to the four northern provinces, the five southern provinces are still much more comfortable, and the people's income is also slightly higher.
After all, there are constant wars in the four provinces of the Northern Territory, the king's flag is changing on the city wall, and there are many warlords, big and small.
But for the people of Donghai, the five provinces south of the Yangtze River are already a place of fear, poverty and ignorance.
Therefore, although Mr. Fang mentioned the old friend's request, it was obviously not a lie to let Lu Ming consider it. After all, although Lu Ming is young, he is also one of the influential figures gradually emerging in the East China Sea. He has many various affairs and wants to go there.
If you want to file a lawsuit in a place where birds don't poop, you should be more cautious.
Lu Ming pondered and said, "Well, I'll think about it, but it has to be a few days later. Tomorrow, there will be a military court, and I will be the judge."
