Chapter 1395: Spread Out
"Is it raining?"
The rain outside the house continued to fall, and then heavy rain followed.
Hearing the sound of rain, Lu Ping'an walked to the window and closed it. On his desk, there were too many documents and papers that could not possibly go wrong.
"Boom!"
But one of the characteristics of this world is that in addition to the extremely heavy rainfall, they often bring immediate thunder and strong winds.
"Uh, ball lightning weather, it's really a natural disaster."
The catastrophic weather that is rare on Earth is just the norm here. Several ball lightnings are running around and causing disasters in the city.
"Boom!"
But soon, after a few flashes, the ball lightning disappeared without a trace.
Did the high-level elemental professionals collect the "materials"? Did some local extraordinary people not want their industry to suffer? At least in this world, the ball lightning that was easy to mass-produce was far less powerful than its counterparts on Earth, but it was indeed a valuable extraordinary material.
"Dangdang!"
Lu Ping'an closed the window and drew the curtains.
There is no rainy season in this world. To be precise, because the sea area is so large and the sunshine is too abundant, there is a large amount of rainy season here every month.
These are also the local residents, mainly the long-armed people and fishmen. Pure terrestrial life would be very uncomfortable in this world, of course, provided that they are still mortals.
"If I had known there was an opportunity to become a professional, I would have rushed for it long ago!"
Rumors and gossip always spread the fastest, especially when it comes to one's own interests.
From what Lu Ping'an had seen himself, at least one-third of the "state-owned enterprise employees" who had just arrived these days, including the tailors, chefs, managers, etc., had become professionals. Their mood and enthusiasm for work increased all of a sudden, especially since they all vaguely knew who was the controller of that magical secret realm behind the scenes.
"What about the situation with super crimes?"
"It's okay. In a world where everyone can carry a gun, having a few new gunmen won't change anything."
At the table next to Lu Ping'an, Xia Qin was frowning as she read the legal documents. Lu Ping'an had handed over all the local judicial and law enforcement tasks to her, but the premise was always "legislation," and this work had been stuck for a long time.
She asked her subordinates to come up with several draft versions of the Criminal Code (she was not given the Civil Code because she could not do it), but she was never satisfied.
"Oh, I'll go out and take a look."
As he spoke, Lu Ping'an picked up his raincoat and prepared to go out for a walk. On such a rainy day, he would feel much more relaxed. The weather where he couldn't see faces was also suitable for him to take a walk.
".Come back, we agreed that if we don't finish reviewing this batch of documents today, then don't go."
The flying dagger pierced the door panel directly, hindering Lu Ping'an's escape.
He sighed and helplessly sat back at his desk piled with documents. It was not because his work pressure was too great, as his secretarial team and internal affairs department had already handled most of the work. However, the authority of the "Governor" was too important, and after just a few days, the desk was full again.
"It seems that I need an acting governor."
Lu Ping'an sighed, and then was glared at by Xia Qin. She really knew that this man's casual complaints would often become reality very quickly.
"At least try hard for half a year. There are too many new things to deal with. I'm really worried about others."
Xia Qin works here specifically to prevent the man in front of her from doing other things. Whether it is the construction of the courtyard, her own practice, the research on magic plants or even the business route of the Redemption, it can't be said that they are not serious business, but now as the controller of this "new ancient town", his first priority is to confirm various applications and stamp them.
There are some things that only his authority can confirm and that surprise all those in the know: this guy is clearly just a "guy who didn't even finish high school", but he has a knack in politics, economics and even fashion.
When it comes to handling government affairs, he tends to be conservative, and his instructions in most cases are "wait and see" or "continue the old system." But when necessary, he is more decisive and direct than most people.
Now the "water train line" project with huge investment was forced forward by him. It can be called a great achievement of building a miracle in primitive society. Most people think it is nonsense, but now it seems to be for real and it seems to be successful.
He single-handedly controlled industries such as the "shipyard", "public security department", and "civil affairs supplies", and forcibly broke through technical difficulties with the "Water Coachman No. 1" rubbed by hand (by Fang Wen and Lu Ping'an). The first line from Huacheng to Jiaolong City may be put into use in two weeks. The progress of the whole process is outrageous.
He had too many resources and power at his disposal. Most importantly, the secretarial team found that this boss was very rational and good at using his power. Naturally, they sent more work to him, which annoyed Lu a lot.
"These days, it's not good for superiors to be too capable"
Lu Ping'an sighed, fearing that without his approval, the people below him would not dare to touch a superior who was difficult to fool and might even be more capable than you. Sometimes, this was really not a good thing for the people below him.
Lu's team is still in the process of running in, but he has too many things on his hands, many of which are not suitable to be told to others (espionage, seizing minerals, private trade in craftsmen, and seizing world fragments).
".I want to take a leave."
"Yes, go and apply to your nominal superior, the Alliance Council of States in Wanjing, East Country."
Being blocked by Xia Qin, Lu Ping'an sighed and had no choice but to continue working overtime.
Ms. Catherine? She was quite useful, but when the work involved more than 30 towns, diplomatic affairs, military secrets, etc., a dozen Ms. Catherines were not enough. It would be a waste to use this Rule-level Holy Fire Knight as a clerical secretary.
"It seems that I need an effective government agency"
But at this time, as Xia Qin said, it is time to set rules and form a team. If these things are really handed over to other people, they might really mess it up.
Therefore, under Xia Qin's supervision and accompanying cooperation, he could only honestly deal with the documents in his hands, and finally waited until dinner time to finish and get ready to go out.
"Boss Lu, we're new here."
The secretarial team sent him another truckload of documents. If he hadn't seen that there were indeed a lot of contents that were difficult to judge and needed to be finalized by him as the top leader, he would have suspected that the people below were trying to deceive him.
This time, it wasn't until midnight that it was done.
". I've finished writing it. Take a look."
On this side, Xia Qin compared the criminal code of the Eastern Country and also prepared a new draft of the local criminal law and sent it over.
"That's bullshit. Go back and rewrite it."
But Lu Ping'an, who was feeling resentful, only glanced at the brochure and rejected it outright. Xia Qin glared at him for a long time and he almost couldn't help but renovate Lu Ping'an's Governor's Mansion.
".Which part is problematic?"
"Every part of it is problematic. Your moral bottom line is too high."
Well, the one who was denied was Xia Qin herself.
But she looked at what she had written, and finally, she sighed. She knew this was the reason. She thought too highly of people. If she really enforced the laws of the East Country, it would not have any deterrent effect on the local criminals, and some places were obviously going too far.
For example, human trafficking is common in the local area. It is difficult to say whether it is a good thing or a bad thing for these human traffickers to migrate with valuable craftsmen, women, and coolies.
Many of the disaster victims who are suffering on the front lines and in the surrounding areas have been "trafficked and relocated". They lack the means and ability (escort forces) to leave. If you really crack down on personality trafficking and send these bastards to death, you will also cut off the escape routes of many disaster victims.
For example, the crime of child abuse. According to Earth's standards, more than 90% of parents in this world are extremely unqualified. It is almost standard for them to let their children go. It is normal if they die, and it is considered lucky if they survive. We can't just arrest these parents who are unable to take responsibility, otherwise the prison will explode on the same day.
For example, the Minor Protection Act. This thing is subtle on Earth, but it is indeed one of the basic principles of the law. If you implement it on this planet, you will see that 99% of criminals, based on their age, are minors.
"I don't care!" Xia Qin threw the draft away. She really couldn't stand it.
".Let me do it."
Lu Ping'an sighed. It looked like he would have to work overtime again.
"You know the law?"
"I know a little bit, maybe a little more than you do."
What Lu Ping'an casually gestured out was probably another universe on his fingertips.
"Why didn't you say so earlier? You... you just want to have fun with me! You just want me to work overtime with you!"
"hehe."
Xia, who had been tortured for a week, broke down for the first time and took out his anger on others.
As a result, the Governor's Palace was rebuilt for the third time this week.
