Space-time SWAT

While talking, Lu Zhaolin carefully fed Lu Haocang half a glass of water, mixed with half a drop of Lingquan, which made Lu Haocang feel a little lighter in his heavy and weak body, and his mood improved, "Okay, just follow your train of thought. Let's do it." Anyway, with him around, no matter who has ulterior motives, they will not be able to turn the tide.

During his visit to the capital, Lu Zhaolin did many things, which may not seem like big things, but they are very important.Renovate dilapidated houses, repair roads, dredge rivers, build waterworks, dredge sewers, erect street lights, build general hospitals of traditional Chinese and Western medicine and epidemic prevention centers, vaccinate children for free, prevent smallpox, and put orphans and elderly people together to live together , re-establishing a family, etc., and dispatching people to talk about various modern topics in the market and dining and entertainment venues, guiding women to stop binding their feet, criticizing the fallacy that "a woman without talent is virtue", and encouraging women to go out of the house, Reading, doing things, struggling, free love.All kinds of things are complicated and trivial, mainly because they consume energy and do not spend much money. A small part is paid by the Governor's Mansion, and most of them are collected from wealthy families. The effect is very good.At the moment, people's hearts are in the mood, and they are full of praise.

Lu Haocang became more and more fond of this eldest son who suddenly appeared on the way, and now he saved his life, took care of him non-stop, and forcibly pulled him back from the palace of the king of hell, which filled him with love and wished to give his dearest son Give him all the good things.

Everyone in the house said that the eldest son was filial, and Mrs. Lu and Mrs. Lu praised everyone they met. They simply didn't know how to treat the eldest grandson well, and even the beloved eldest son stood back.

Lu Haocang recuperated at home, hardly seeing anyone except Zhuge Xian.It wasn't until Lu Zhaolin led the army to Yunnan that he sat in the Yamen for half a day every day to deal with important official duties, and then came back to rest.

From Sichuan to Yunnan, people mainly travel by land, riding a horse or taking a carriage, or walking of course.The road is full of dangers, poisonous miasma, ferocious beasts, deadly flowers and trees, landslides, mudslides, severe weather, steep and narrow passages and so on.Lu Zhaolin led the Third Regiment of the First Division of the First Army, the Special Squadron and the Officer Corps of the Phoenix School, carrying field backpacks, and embarked on this difficult and dangerous road on foot.

Each of them was equipped with a good horse, but Lu Zhaolin asked all of them to walk and carry heavy cross-country.No objection, no complaints.Long-distance training is their training subject. Although the purpose of going to Yunnan is to start a war with foreigners, it is the consensus of all officers that the training cannot be stopped.

The special squadron was at the front, Lu Zhaolin and the officer corps were in the middle, then the cavalry, and the third regiment was at the end, marching southward in mighty strength.

Mu Boming went out of the city to see him off, and continued to work after returning.The various machines he ordered from abroad when he was in the capital are being transported to the already built factories one after another. He needs to test, check and accept them, then transform them, and then install them into an assembly line for the production of guns and bullets.

The ancient city walls of Rongcheng are very spectacular, comparable to the ancient city walls of Beijing and Xijing. Both Mu Boming and Mu Bowen strongly recommend not to demolish them, but to build an outer city outside the city walls, planning industrial areas, agricultural areas, entertainment areas, and residential areas , moved the civilians from the inner city to the outer city, and then rebuilt the inner city, demolished dilapidated houses, widened the streets, and built it into a garden city.In this way, land prices will definitely rise sharply, and the fiscal revenue will also increase a lot.

Lu Haocang agreed to this proposal, and according to Lu Zhaolin's opinion, established the official department construction bureau, which is responsible for the construction matters inside and outside of Rongcheng.

After they delineated the outer city, they first built industrial zones. Smelters, arsenals, power plants, coal factories, and machinery factories were all government-run, while textile factories, clothing factories, food factories, hardware processing factories, match factories, etc. were privately run.At this time, the industrial area was almost a large construction site, and it was in full swing from morning to night.

Mu Boming is the chief engineer of all the government-run factories, most of the industrial area is his domain, and the factory manager only does management work, and he must follow his instructions in terms of technology.These days, he has been spending all day here, so busy that he doesn't even have the energy to take care of the affairs of the military academy.

One day, he was instructing the workers in the factory to install the machines when he heard a loud voice at the door: "Mr. Mu, call, the Governor's Mansion is here."

He put down the large wrench in his hand and walked out the gate, only to see the red sun sinking in the west and the blue dusk rising, it was already evening.Walking back to the office quickly, he picked up the phone, "Hi, I'm Mu Boming."

A respectful voice came from over there, "Master Mu, Mr. Lu invites you to the Governor's Mansion to discuss matters."

"Okay." Mu Boming put down the phone, ordered his assistant to arrange for the workers to get off work, then changed his overalls, and rode away.

Lu Haocang's body has not yet regained its vitality, but he already has the strength to walk around, but he can't work hard at his desk for a long time.When Mu Boming came over, he was already waiting in the study in the outer courtyard.Although his face was still a little pale, he was in good spirits, and he could see that he had been recuperating well during this period of time.

Mu Boming smiled and stepped forward to salute, "Brother-in-law, are you feeling better?"

"It's much better." Lu Haocang raised his hand to signal him to sit down, "How's the situation in the factory?"

"It will take about half a month to install it. I plan to test it in three days. If there are no problems, it can be officially put into production." Mu Boming reported the current work progress in an orderly manner. "The radio station has started small-scale production. The current output is about ten sets, and the wired telephone can produce thirty sets per month..."

After listening attentively, Lu Haocang nodded with satisfaction, "Very good, you have worked hard."

"It's hard work." Mu Boming said with a smile, "I like doing these things. Seeing the factory produce these new products gives me a sense of accomplishment."

Lu Haocang laughed heartily, "Okay, okay." After laughing for a while, he drank a sip of hot tea, gradually restrained his smile, and said with emotion, "The real culprit who ordered the people around me to poison me has already She was sentenced to death and executed ten days later. She asked to see you, saying that you had discussed marriage, but because both parties were dissatisfied, you and she went abroad to study, but you went to the West, and she Went to Dongyang. This is really... Speaking of which, you two are family friends, but who knows that the children have taken two completely different paths. Do you think you want to see her? If you want to, I will arrange it. If you If you don't want to see her, let's ignore her."

Mu Boming was a little surprised, "Her crime... attempted murder, is it enough to be executed?"

Lu Haocang was also a little surprised by his train of thought, "You are still too young and naive, and you have been educated by foreigners. That woman is not just murdering, she is not going to kill ordinary people, but the highest officials of the three southwestern provinces. This is a subversion of the regime and an attempt to cause civil strife. You should be able to imagine what the consequences will be? Yesterday your elder brother called me, and Sun Wen from the Tongmenghui ran from Dongyang to Vietnam and sent a large number of people like Shi Hua They sneaked into Guangdong and provoked civil unrest. They captured Huanggang Town, established a so-called military government, respected Sun Wen as the governor, and attempted to capture Chaozhou. Admiral Li, the admiral of the Guangdong Navy, sent reinforcements to intercept, and flanked the Chaozhou commander Huang. Master Huang got the roster of rebels, and has killed hundreds of rebels, and is still searching for them. In addition, the imperial court issued an order a month ago to rectify the Northeast, and established the governors of Fengtian, Jilin, and Heilongjiang provinces. Dividing away the power of the governors of the three eastern provinces forced the scheming Xu Donghai to almost tear himself apart with the old guys in the court and wanted to stand on his own. Those old stubborn people in the court have always disliked me and have long wanted to divide the power of the three southwestern provinces It's just that the old man and I are here and the foundation is deep. They have nothing to do for a while, so they temporarily put it aside. If I'm not here, these rebels will take advantage of the chaos to attack the old man. Zhaolin is too young to convince the public, and the three southwestern provinces will It will all fall into the hands of others, and the great situation that was so hard to come by will be in vain. I killed Shihua and her accomplices, not to vent personal anger, but to warn all those who are trying to murder me, want to do it , I must be prepared to die. I did not kill her family, relatives and friends, and I have restrained myself."

Mu Boming immediately understood that he and Lu Zhaolin really thought about the problem simply.If the real culprit behind the scenes is only sentenced to a few years of hard labor, and he can be released from prison unscathed in the future, and the cost of crime is so low, then those forces and individuals who want to assassinate Lu Haocang but have been scruples about the consequences will continue to act one after another.If you tell them that if they fail, they will die, or even kill their relatives, I am afraid that many people will think twice before taking action, and maybe they will not take action.Lu Haocang's words are correct. Even in the modern age ten thousand years later, the punishment for murdering an ordinary civilian is different from that for murdering a planetary chief administrative officer. The former is only homicide, while the latter may be the crime of subverting the state.

After figuring it out, Mu Boming nodded immediately, "It's my brother-in-law who is old enough to seek the country. We are indeed too young to think carefully. I don't know that Miss Shi well at all. I said we were discussing marriage back then, but we never even met in person. No friendship at all. What does she want to see me for? I can't possibly do her any favors, it's just a waste of time."

"Okay." Lu Haocang said happily, "Then I'll ask someone to give her an answer, let her stop thinking about it, and go on the road with peace of mind. Since she wants to be a martyr, I will help her."

Mu Boming smiled, "Brother-in-law can figure it out, don't call me for such things in the future, it's too time-consuming."

"Okay, it's all up to you." Lu Haocang shook his head with a smile, "I was wrong this time. I called you here for a small matter. I won't do it in the future. However, you are busy, and your body is also very important. Don't get tired gone."

"Yes." Mu Boming chatted with him for a while, drank two cups of tea, and got up to leave.

Lu Haocang looked at his leaving figure, the smile on his face became much more real, "He's a good boy..."
