"Mayor Xie, you can ask Mayor Qin for more exchanges on governance. You should have a common language in this regard!"

"Yes, but today can't do it anymore. //                                                        

"Well, when Mayor Qin comes back from observing the exercise, you will have time to discuss together!" Lu Shan nodded.

"Mr. Lu, the water and coal have been replenished. The train conductor asked for instructions. When will it be started?" Luo Qingshan came in and reported.

"Wait a minute, listen to my order!"

"OK!"

"Mayor Xie, I won't say much more about it. The people trust us and give us the important task of governing this city. We must be worthy of this trust. When we formulate any policies and regulations, we must start from the interests of the people. We cannot harm the public and private, and use our power for personal gain. Once corruption is discovered, we will arrest one and deal with another again!" Lu Shan solemnly instructed.

"Please rest assured Mr. Lu, we will remember it!"

"Okay, I won't keep you anymore. It's getting late, so it's time for you to go back and rest!" Lu Shan stood up and said.

"Mr. Lu, then we will say goodbye!"

"I'll give you a gift!" Lu Shan said.

"Old Lu, Mayor Xie is here to beg for alms, right?" Xie Ke and the others left, and Qin Shiyu came in.

"Three million yuan of start-up funds for the renovation of municipal basic projects!" Lu Shan said lightly.

"Three million, that's a lot. Did you agree to him?" Qin Shiyu said.

"I can't ask for so much, I estimate that there are two million to start. It's a little more. I still know the following thoughts!" Lu Shan said.

"I'm really afraid that you don't know the tricks here!" Qin Shiyu said with a smile.

"I'm afraid I don't know, but you're hiding for Xie Ke and the others?" Lu Shan laughed and scolded.

"Don't I don't want to interfere with your conversation? Besides, I don't know what it was for them to look for you." Qin Shiyu said.

"Forget it, the money problem still needs to be solved. If you want the horse to run away, it is not okay not to give it to the horse to graze!" Lu Shan said.

"Where are you going to pay for this money?"

"Didn't the Japanese want us to release prisoners of war? We cannot let war criminals like Okamura Yanji return to the mountain, but those injured and disabled Japanese soldiers are raising waste food for us, but if they are killed, it will be too cruel. Why would you let the Japanese redeem them with money?" Lu Shan said with a smile.

"Wrecked soldiers and disabled?" Qin Shiyu was stunned and laughed gloomyly, "Old Lu, you are really good at calculating and exchange for money for wounded soldiers and disabled people. It not only solves our financial difficulties, but also adds a burden to the Japanese. The wounded soldiers and disabled people are basically useless people. After returning, you will have to need a large amount of resettlement costs. You are really good at it!"

"Haha, there are some weak soldiers, we can also let the Japanese redeem them. We can't leave too much talk and let people talk!"

"It should be, it should be!" The two of them looked at each other and laughed.

"Brother Houde, you are so diligent. You are so late, still working?" He Jingzhi knocked on Lu Shan's private room in his coat.

"Brother Jingzhi hasn't rest yet?" Lu Shan put down the pen in his hand, stood up and greeted him.

"I haven't reached a strange environment and I'm not very comfortable. I can't sleep, so I'm out for a walk. I saw that the lights were still on in your place, so I came over. Didn't I disturb you?" He Jingzhi took off his coat and said.

"No, I usually sleep late, it's not yet here!" Lu Shan said with a smile.

"That's good. I'm really diligent in business. I admire you!"

"I'm just bored and busy, so I'll make Brother Jing laugh!" Lu Shan laughed and said modestly.

"Brother, don't you have a confidante named Natasha by your side, why didn't you bring it out this time?" He Jingzhi suddenly asked.

"She is no longer working by my side!" Lu Shan couldn't figure out He Jingzhi's purpose, but he had already ordered the unification of Natasha's whereabouts.

"Not here?"

"I'm sorry, brother, I mean such a woman, why did you transfer her away?"

"She is of Russian descent, and there are many inconveniences to stay by my side, so I transferred her away, which can calm down the criticism below!" Lu Shan said.

"That's right, such a beautiful Russian woman, what if she is..." He Jingzhi laughed dryly.

"Brother Jingzhi, what do you have to say? You might as well open it up. I'll just listen carefully!" Lu Shan knew that He Jingzhi was talking about it.

"Don't be satisfied with me, Brother Yu really wants to discuss with you if you have something to do!" He Jingzhidao.

"Brother Jingzhi, please tell me clearly!"

"Zhang Hanqing stepped down, and no one in North China can compete with the Japanese. Only brother, you, you will not lose the upper hand in the fight with the Japanese. The Japanese are extremely ambitious and will launch a war of aggression sooner or later. The Chairman and the State Government hope to delay the time for the Japanese to launch so that the country can prepare for war. Therefore, Zhang Hanqing proposed to hand over Tianjin to my brother. The Japanese hated me to the core, and they would not dare to act rashly because of my brother's existence!" He Jingzhi's way.

"The Chairman is not afraid of my impulse to be young and delay the time for the Japanese to launch, but instead prompts the Japanese to launch in advance?" Lu Shan asked.

"Although my brother is young, he is not reckless. Otherwise, how could he build this foundation in such a short time? The Japanese are still unable to launch an attack, and they also need time to accumulate strength!" He Jingzhidao.

"Once the Japanese have accumulated enough strength and believe that they can start a war, they will not be diverted because of our will." Lu Shan said.

"Brother, you overestimate the Japanese. Even if they have accumulated enough strength, they will not start a war easily, because your existence will make the Japanese worry!" He Jingzhi said.

"I have that great ability?" Lu Shan said with a smile.

"Brother, don't underestimate yourself. The Japanese people are defeated one after another in your hands. Of course, they dare not meet you easily unless they are sure to defeat you completely!" He Jingzhidao.

"Brother Jingzhi said this, is he supporting me in Tianjin?" Lu Shan asked.

"Brother, it seems that you and Brother Hanqing have already discussed it and keep everyone in the dark!" He Jingzhi said.

"Deputy Commander-in-Chief Zhang did mention this to me, but Tianjin is too far from Beiman City and it is not very attractive to me. Instead, it may be a burden or even a fire pit!" Lu Shan said.

"For others, it may be a burden or a fire pit, but it may not be true for you!" He Jingzhi said.

"Oh, why is this?"

"First of all, Tianjin is a military center, with rivers, sea ports, and commerce and trade prosperity. The annual tax is a big digit. For me, this is a considerable income. Secondly, it is a great misfortune for the Japanese to take over Tianjin. It is also a containment of the Japanese's power in North China, and it is also a great benefit to the stability of the political situation in North China. Thirdly, if you have a sea port, you will have an additional channel for external contact, and you will not have to be completely controlled by others at that time!" He Jingzhi explained slowly.

"But I have no soldiers or soldiers in Tianjin, how can I gain a foothold?" Lu Shan asked.

"With my brother's methods, why is this difficult? Without troops, you can recruit soldiers and horses, right?" He Jingzhi said with a smile.

"Brother Jingzhi, I haven't figured out the land of one acre and three cents of my own. How can I have the energy to find Tianjin?"

"Brother, Tianjin is a fertile land. Zhang Hanqing easily refused to give him up. He couldn't grasp it this time. There was no next time!" He Jingzhidao.

"Since Deputy Commander-in-Chief Zhang is willing to give up Tianjin, why don't zy send someone to take over? As far as I know, gf is not very rich now. If Tianjin's taxes can be recovered, it would be a timely help for gf?" Lu Shan asked pretending to be puzzled.

"Do you really don't know, or pretend to be confused?" He Jingzhi said with a slight displeasure.

"Please teach me brother Jingzhi?" Lu Shan solemnly asked.

"Forget it, I'll tell you, Tianjin..." He Jingzhi was really heart-wrenching.

"Brother Jingzhi, no matter how you say it, I dare not ask for Tianjin. I will not do this for others to make wedding clothes!"

"Brother, whether to make wedding clothes depends on everyone's ability. It is not impossible to occupy the magpie's nest!"

"I'm afraid it's not that easy, right?"

"Zhang Hanqing traveled to Europe and would not be able to return to China without a year or two. As long as he was not here, the Northeast Army would be a mess. At that time, with my brother's means and my cooperation, let alone Tianjin, even Peking will not be a problem!" He Jingzhidao.

Lu Shan narrowed his eyes slightly. He Jingzhi's actions were too abnormal. These words should not be said from his mouth.

At least at this time, Lu Shan knew that He Jingzhi was not without ambition, but he was just hiding well. It was not until the Xi'an Incident that it broke out completely. However, at that time, he was not able to replace Lao Chiang, so he was defeated. Although he was in a high position, he lost Lao Chiang's trust, but he was better than some other out of favor and was able to live up to his old age.

Is He Jingzhi trying to attract him? Lu Shan couldn't help but feel a little suspicious in his heart that He is the second-ranked figure in the Huangpu system, second only to Lao Jiang.

But when Chiang Kai-shek is there, He will always be the second place, so He should be promoted. Unless Chiang makes a fool of himself or dies in an accident, he will have no such possibility at all when Chiang Kai-shek was in the prime of Spring and Autumn Period.

This is also because He has always endured himself and showed his usual loyalty to Chiang Kai-shek. Perhaps because of this endurance, He lost the courage to burn his boats, so he finally failed to succeed after the "Xi'an Incident"!

But this also exposed his ambitions and laid the root of Jiang Jiang's distrust of him.

He Jingzhi also felt that he was too direct and said very explicitly. He immediately became alert and could not say anything further.

Lu Shan is also weighing that it will not harm him to establish a good relationship with He. At least Lao Jiang believes in anything now. He is still the second-ranked figure in the Huangpu Group. His support for He is equivalent to supporting Lao Jiang!

Once Chiang discovered "He"'s ambition, will he still trust him?

Maybe Lao Jiang had known for a long time, after all, if a person has no ambition, how could he work hard to climb up?

Ambition is sometimes also a reflection of motivation and ability.
