Space-time SWAT

On the morning of the second day of the wedding, Lu Zhaolin accompanied Mu Fangrui, who was dressed in costume, to the ancestral hall to offer incense and kowtow to the ancestors, and then went to the main room to greet, serve tea, and recognize relatives.

Although Mrs. Huang hated Lu Zhaolin to death in her heart, she didn't dare to do anything out of the ordinary. On the surface, she took good care of him, and the marriage went smoothly without any trouble.Lu Zhaolin has never coveted the family property of the Governor's Mansion, and he has no grudge against her. Even if she sneers at him or ignores him, he can understand and will not care about her.However, she and her brother took Xu's family as the top for personal gain, and the whole family was almost ruined by her.Now that the newlyweds are married, Huang shi took the initiative to show his favor, so it was inconvenient for him to spoil the fun, so he could only call "Mother" after Mu Fangrui, which was considered a complete courtesy.

The whole room was filled with joy and laughter. Mu Fangrui was the eldest daughter-in-law. After meeting her elders, all her contemporaries were younger brothers and sisters, those who had the big house and those who had the next room, so she was soft on giving gifts.The older child is serious and observant, while the younger child is innocent. Everyone calls her "sister-in-law", and she is delighted to hear it.

Lu Zhaolin stood beside him, looking at the smiling faces of the children, his posture was very relaxed and his expression was very happy.

After the family had lunch together, Mu Fangrui went back to their yard to rest, and Lu Zhaolin went to the study in the outer courtyard to attend the regular meeting between Lu Haocang and his staff.

His father's most trusted chief staff member was surnamed Zhuge. It is said that his ancestor was Zhuge Kongming.He has a sharp eye, sees the details, and is best at playing politics. He helped Lu Haocang control the three southwestern provinces, and he made great contributions.

Seeing Lu Zhaolin coming in, he smiled and nodded.After the maid serving tea retreated and the door was closed tightly, he said unhurriedly: "There is very important news in the mansion newspaper that I received yesterday. More than half a month ago, the imperial court promulgated the "Decree of Proclamation of Preparing to Establish a Constitution." "."

A young staff member was puzzled, "What does it mean to prepare for a constitution?"

"Just do the preparatory work first, step by step." Zhuge Xian smiled lightly, "Last year, the imperial court sent five ministers including Zaize and Duanfang to investigate in the East. This year, the five ministers returned to China one after another. They wrote a letter pointing out that there are three major benefits to the constitution. One is the throne." Yonggu, on the second day, the foreign aggression is getting lighter, and on the third day, the internal strife can be eliminated, so they suggested that the court establish a constitution. However, they emphasized that, "Today's announcement of a constitution is only to express the purpose of preparing for the establishment of a constitution. As for the implementation period, the time limit could have been extended." Japan proclaimed constitutional government in Meiji 14, and began to hold a parliament in 22. It is already effective and can be imitated.' The imperial court is looking for the word 'preparation', so it issued the "Declaration of Preparatory Constitutional Edict" so soon. This preparatory period may only last for ten or eight years, and it is still unknown whether the constitution will be truly enacted in the end."

Except for Lu's father and son, those staff members all showed disappointment.

In the Russo-Japanese War last year, Japan defeated Russia as a small country with a constitutional monarchy, which greatly shocked the imperial court. "The victory or defeat of Japan and Russia is also the victory or defeat of constitutional autocracy." The ruling and opposition parties generally linked the victory or defeat of this war with the country's political system, believing that Japan won with constitutionalism and Russia lost with autocracy. In a big country, constitutionalism can defeat autocracy.”

For this theory, these aides deeply agree, and look forward to the early constitution of the imperial court, thinking that this will save the country.At this time, after listening to Zhuge Xian's analysis, he believed that the imperial court did not really want to establish a constitution, but it was just a delay, and finally nothing happened, or it was a fake to deceive the people of the world.

Lu Haocang had long known the virtues of the people in the court, so he didn't care, and asked calmly, "What does the court plan to do with the preparation of a constitution?"

Zhuge Xian was confident, "There are a lot of reports in the residence newspaper, mainly involving three aspects, one is administrative reform, including law and education, the core is reforming the official system, the other is the establishment of a parliament, and the third is the implementation of local self-government."

Everyone's eyes lit up, "Local autonomy? This is a good opportunity."

"No matter what the court plans, as long as you have this name, Mrs. Lu can do many things."

"That parliament... I heard that it will be elected by the people. What do those grassroots people who don't know a single word know? What can they elect?"

"How to change the official system? Now that the imperial examination has been abolished, how will officials be selected in the future?"

They talked a lot, apparently clueless.Lu Haocang didn't speak, and only held the teacup to drink tea slowly.Zhuge Xian smiled amiably, looked at Lu Zhaolin, "What's your opinion, Eldest Young Master?"

The staff all quieted down and looked at Young Master Lu who was wearing a new style of sky blue gown.

Lu Zhaolin smiled, "Everyone, don't be too disappointed with the imperial court. Although the stubborn old forces are still dominant, there are Lords Weng, Lord Mu, Lord Kang, and Lord Liang who firmly support constitutionalism. There will always be some substantive changes in the emperor's views, and the future can be expected. Of course, it is a good thing to have local autonomy. There are many things we can do, and we don't have to worry about the imperial court. Under the current international and domestic situation, administrative reform is inevitable. It must be done. The law must be perfected and refined. For example, the imperial court has abolished torture such as beheading and beheading, and the death penalty is only beheaded. This is reform, but this is not enough. Members of parliament elected by the government must participate, collect more opinions, study carefully, and discuss repeatedly, so as to do better. As for education reform, I propose to implement a 12-year education system in an all-round way. , Three years of junior high school, three years of high school, after graduation, you can go to work, or you can continue to apply for higher education institutions. In terms of the official system, in order to adapt to the current situation and future development, we must abandon the old system in the past and make the establishment of the official system more scientific. It is more transparent, so that ordinary people can understand it at a glance. My father has already implemented a new officer system in the army, and local officials at all levels can also be changed. In addition to these three aspects, there are still many things that need to be gradually reformed, such as the tax system, Corvée, military service, science and technology, public security, transportation, electricity, water power, industry, agriculture, commerce, mining, shipping, foreign affairs, etc., I can’t finish it all at once, I will write several detailed reports and give them to my father.”

Lu Haocang nodded in satisfaction, "Okay."

Zhuge Xian's deep eyes were faintly shining, and he said slowly: "The eldest son is wise and wise, calm and sophisticated, and he has learned both Chinese and Western cultures. It is really our luck, and the luck of the Southwest."

"I dare not take it." Lu Zhaolin bowed slightly, "Mr. Zhuge has won the award."

Lu Haocang said with a smile: "Zhaolin raised a few ideas, everyone can think about it and ponder it carefully. Today is Zhaolin's wedding day, so don't sit here all the time, go back and stay with your wife."

"Yes." Lu Zhaolin got up to leave, turned and left.

He didn't go back to his room to accompany the bride, but left the governor's mansion and rode his horse to Mu Boming's private research institute.

The Jinjiang River is full of flowers, and the willows are beautiful. People who can live here are either rich, dignified, or scholars. The "Zhuo Garden" next to the pasture house is owned by a family. Mu Boming bought it.

Both of them have a lot of gold in their space, which can be exchanged for silver dollars or paid directly, whichever way they can be used.These houses along the river have a good environment and strong privacy, even if the price is higher, they don't care.

Although the Institute of Physics has been built inside, the sign of "Zhuo Garden" has not been taken off.Mu Boming released a dozen or so intelligent robots and asked them to act as porters, nurses, cooks, servants, and handymen, so there would be no worries.The appearance of these robots is exactly the same as that of real people, and their words and deeds are no different from real people. No one will notice the difference, and it is impossible for advanced instruments to detect it.With them guarding the house, it is safer than the Governor's Mansion.

Lu Zhaolin ran to the gate of the "Zhuo Garden", jumped off his horse, threw the reins to the oncoming porter, and strode into the garden.

Mu Boming came out of the room, saw him walking briskly, and couldn't help laughing: "Congratulations, congratulations, Xiao Dengke yesterday."

Lu Zhaolin laughed, stepped forward and gave him a thump, "You're coming too."

Both of them knew what their so-called "bridal chamber wedding night" was all about, so they didn't say much, made a few jokes, and entered the laboratory.

What Mu Boming is researching is the manufacturing process of radio stations and telephones, and how to build an assembly line for manufacturing weapons.With the current level of technology in the southwest region, many spare parts have to be knocked out by hand. What he has to do is to disassemble those machines and equipment, and formulate standard processes one by one.As long as the experiment is successful, it can be put into production.

Space-time special police are all versatile, but they have their own focus according to their hobbies and aptitudes. Luo Qinghui likes medicine, and his knowledge of related fields is deeper than that of Yan Li, who likes to study the manufacture and function of various weapons , is much more proficient in related technologies.Today, Mu Boming is a physics expert who studied under Einstein, and Lu Zhaolin graduated from a regular medical school, so he can practice medicine legally. This setting is very in line with the hobbies of the two.

Lu Zhaolin sat in front of the workbench as big as a ping-pong table, looked at the dazzling array of spare parts, and asked with a smile, "How is it? Are you ready?"

Mu Boming squeezed to sit next to him, put his arms around his shoulders and said, "The telephone and radio can be put into production, the assembly line in the arsenal is too complicated, I still have to think about it."

Lu Zhaolin leaned lazily on him, "Well, let's put into production telephones and radio stations first, so that you won't become blind or deaf during the war. As for weapons, let those craftsmen make some by hand first. If the speed is slow, increase the number of weapons." Worker, what do you think?"

"Well, it's doable." Mu Boming patted him, "By the way, have the three people you sent to Yunnan sent back any news? The operation over there should have started, right?"

The three technicians who specialize in dismantling the machine are also intelligent robots, and they will send back important information every day, including the road they have traveled, the people they have met, what they have said, and the local weather, products, geographical environment and so on.

Speaking of this operation, Lu Zhaolin was also a little excited, "They rushed to the construction site seven days ago, and the conditions of those workers were really horrible. Xu Baoshan and the others were very indignant, and quickly assigned staff to find out the positions and positions of all French people. The law of action. They plan to kill the French supervisor first, and then kill the lackeys sent by the local government. There are also some French who have no blood debts. They are going to kidnap and lock them up, and let the French company they belong to take money to redeem them. According to the plan After five days, they will be able to take full control of the construction site, and then dismantle all the machinery and equipment, load them into trucks and transport them away."
