Sun Ce smiled.

Some people have mentioned similar opinions, either direct advice or tactfulness, and selfishness is inevitable, but most of the intentions are good. Military power is the foundation of a country, especially in this world of competition, military power is out of control and the regime will inevitably be insured.

But he had his ideas. There is no doubt about the importance of military power, and he would never let go, but he knew better that in recent years, maintaining internal stability, ensuring that the new policy was on the right track, and forming a healthy and positive positive cycle is more important than winning a few battles. One is the century-old plan, and the other is the gains and losses in front of him. He knew very well which one was important.

After all, Lu Xun is still young and has not had thousands of years of historical lessons. The history he knows is full of moral preaching, but rarely involves the truth. He does not know that the risk of reform is greater than that of war. He personally sits in Jianye, and various factions are still fighting openly and secretly. If he leaves Jianye, will Jianye not be in chaos?

If the rear is unstable, how can we win in the front?

"This matter needs to be discussed for a long time, and there is no rush for a moment." Sun Ce changed the topic, told Lu Ji about the classics and history just now, and asked Lu Xun's opinion. Lu Xun returned to his hometown to visit his relatives, and was also aware of the situation in Wu County and even Wu County, and the Lu family was also involved.

Lu Xun did not hide it. As the first family in Wuxian County, the Lu family is now under great pressure and is facing major choices. There are even different voices inside, especially the matter of his engagement with Sun Shangxiang.

All well-known families know that Sun Ce has an unwritten rule that even if a woman becomes a relative, it is best not to have children before the age of eighteen. This has been recognized and supported by many famous doctors. Sun Shangxiang is only fourteen, which means that within four years, Lu Xun will not have a legitimate son. For the Lu family, especially for him who lost his father, this is not reasonable.

Lu Xun's father Lu Jun died young, leaving Lu Xun, Lu Mao's brothers and a sister Lu Mingzhu. Lu Xun is the eldest son. Now he has made achievements again. It is the top priority to have an heir as soon as possible. However, this is not a problem. Sun Ce has personally agreed that Lu Xun can take a concubine and have a child first, ensuring that his family will not be extinct.

For the Lu family, the biggest difference at the moment is what kind of development path to choose to maintain the reputation and strength of the Lu family.

The reason why the Lu family is said to be the first family in Wuxian is because the Lu family has not developed smoothly in recent years. The fundamental reason is that the Lu family has continued its previous development strategy and has not adjusted it in time. It has stagnated in recent years and has been caught up or even surpassed by other companies.

The reason why the Lu family has long occupied the status of the first family in Wuxian and even Wuxian is because the Lu family has been successful in their career. Since Lu Hong, the Lu family has continuously appeared with two thousand stone officials. Two thousand stones have a privilege, which can be the sons of the children, and there are quotas every year. With two thousand stones, the Lu family is equivalent to opening a shortcut to enter the officialdom, and their children can continue to take shortcuts to enter the officialdom.

With a shortcut to entering the officialdom, we also need to have the guarantee of success. The Lu family’s guarantee of success is the Confucianism. The Lu family’s Confucianism is not outstanding, but the inheritance is orderly, and the education of children has always been very tight. It is pragmatic. Most of the children who enter the officialdom have corresponding talents and are qualified officials.

After several generations of officials, the Lu family has accumulated considerable connections and financial resources, and has firmly ranked first in Wuxian.

But the situation is different now. First, the Lu family is old and the young, and there is no obvious advantage in their careers; second, Jiangdong is developing industry and commerce, and the accumulation of wealth is amazing. The business is done well. The wealth accumulated in a few years is more than that of the Lu family for hundreds of years. Faced with the severe reality, some people hope that Lu Kang can change his thinking and not stick to the classics and get involved in industry and commerce.

But Lu Kang disagreed. He insisted that knowledge is the foundation of a family.

Some people accused Lu Kang of saying that this is because Lu Kang's eldest son Lu Jun is mediocre, his career is not smooth, and it is difficult to convince others, but his youngest son Lu Ji is a seed of study. Lu Kang insists on passing on his family through knowledge, which is to facilitate Lu Ji to take over as the head of the family in the future.

Lu Kang was very angry about this and wanted to resign from the head of the Lu family. He was not the eldest son, but he did not have the opportunity to be the head of the family. It was just because his three brothers either died early or had a higher career than his, so he became the head of the family. Now that his sons and nephews have grown up and want to take the position of the head of the family, he can return it with both hands and devote themselves to the affairs of the county school.

But no one in the Lu family dared to take over the position of the head of the family. First, Lu Kang is of high age and has not made any mistakes. Even if the eldest son wants to take back the position of the head of the family, he should wait for his death, otherwise he will be ridiculed. Second, Lu Kang's lifelong career has been average, and so far there is no 2,000 stones. Lu Xun's father Lu Jun was the most promising person to be the commander of Jiujiang. Unfortunately, he died young.

Lu Xun had been on the front line before, only knowing that there were conflicts in his family, but he didn't know how profound the conflicts were. This time he went back to visit his relatives and saw the anger and anxiety of several uncles. Only then did he realize how difficult Lu Kang was now. He wanted to preside over the research on jade artifacts in Fuchun and Yuhang, which was both anger and a proof of himself.

As for Lu Ji, he really likes to read, and now he is even more difficult to get down, so he can only go all the way. He wants to study the Book of Changes because the Book of Changes is the first of the Six Classics, and it is both Confucian and Taoist, not just Confucian classics. When Confucianism is seriously impacted, Yi Xue can still stick to its position.

After listening to Lu Xun's explanation, Sun Ce did not express his opinion immediately. He had already expected this day, and he believed that not only the Lu family, but not only Wuxian, but almost all aristocratic families would face problems to varying degrees. The times have been changing. The end of the Han Dynasty was an era of drastic changes. Because of his arrival, this step was even bigger. Many families did not have time to adapt to this change, and it was expected that there would be differences or even tear.

His refusal to leave Jianye lightly, to prevent the great civil strife caused by the pain of reform and to ruin his grand achievements.

"The Lu family has never done business?"

"No." Lu Xun shook his head. "The ancestor of the family said that he had lived for more than 70 years and had only done two things: studying, being an official, and never being a businessman. He could not seek profits when he was old. He did not allow the Lu family's children to do business, saying that doing business will make people's hearts dangerous and not worth the loss."

Sun Ce stroked his fingers and smiled, "It seems that Lao Jijiu has reservations about my new policy."

"The family followed the ancestors just did something and did not do anything, and did not oppose the king's new policy."

"It's okay, it's normal to have objections. But he didn't mention a word when he attended the meeting a few years ago. If he had any opinions, he would say it. Am I a person who can't listen to different voices?"

"The king has a heavy word. The ancestors of the family have always said that the king follows advice like a stream of advice, and is a rare hero. The reason why I didn't say it when I attended the meeting before the New Year was that I didn't want the king to bother me too much, and my words were like the wind. I forgot it after a long time. This time I returned to my hometown to visit my relatives, he specially wrote a memorial, writing all his thoughts and thoughts in it, and asked me to bring it to the king for reference when it was convenient."

Sun Ce glanced at Lu Xun and snorted. "Since there is a memorial, why didn't it bring it? Should I first explore my words? If it is wrong, I won't present this memorial?"

Lu Xun's little thoughts were exposed and he could only apologize. "The king's eyes are like lightning, and I am ashamed."

Sun Ce waved his hand. He didn't care about Lu Xun, but just reminded him not to be clever. The Lu family was generally aware of the general idea. Lu Kangnian came to attend the meeting and did not mention opposition. It should be related to the situation at that time. Because of the huge consumption of the war, the five-year plan failed to end perfectly, and the government and the country were inevitably rumored. Lu Kang did not follow the crowd and acted directly as if he was directly advised, which was also considerate of his difficulties and did not want to make a bet on him. This is also the experience accumulated over the years of career.

Sun Ce looked at the sky outside, and saw that it was getting late, so he stood up and said, "You have been so far away and must be tired. Go back early to rest. I will bring you a memorial tomorrow. Let's talk about it."

Lu Xun bowed and said, "My king, I have been back home for more than a month and am not very familiar with the recent situation. I will take over the affairs of Yanzhou and Jizhou soon. I will hurry up and get to know the situation. I have already agreed with Guo Jijiu to stay at night together today and strive to pass the information I have received in the past two months first."

Sun Ce nodded. "Okay, you guys are busy, I'm off work."

Lu Xun was stunned and didn't react at all. It was not until Sun Ce stood at the stairs and looked back at him. Then he woke up like a dream. He quickly got up and followed him, took two steps, walked to Sun Ce's right, went downstairs slanted, ready to respond at any time. Sun Ce looked at him while walking, and found it interesting. It seemed that he had been taught a lesson by Lu Kang this time. The habit of knowing politeness and keeping integrity and not daring to step one step beyond the thunder pool came out again.

This is also good. With his current status, if he is not aware of the right position, it will easily cause criticism.

When the two went downstairs, Sun Shangxiang jumped out from the side, with her hands behind her back, glanced at Lu Xun quickly, stepped forward, hugged Sun Ce's arm, and said proudly: "Brother, Bo Yan's words and fighting against Ru Ying's scholars will win a great victory. Is there any reward?"

"What do you think?" Sun Ce asked Lu Xun.

Lu Xun looked embarrassed. "It's just a colleague's exchange, not a fight between the enemy and us, so how can we talk about rewards?"

"Did you hear it?" Sun Ce quilted and flicked Sun Shangxiang's forehead. "Don't be laughed at after talking in the future. Sister Quan has prepared delicious food today. Will you come?"

"Can Bo Yan go?" Sun Shangxiang rubbed his forehead and asked with a smile. Sun Ce glared at her, shook Sun Shangxiang away, and left without looking back. Sun Shangxiang was puzzled, bulging his cheeks and staring at her eyes. "I'm wrong again?"

Lu Xun smiled bitterly and bowed to salute. "How can the next dynasty be able to enter at will? The third general, the king loves you, and he also gives you the safety of the next dynasty. You cannot neglect it, nor can you harm the public for personal gain. People can be afraid of many words."

Sun Shangxiang blinked her eyes. "Then I'll go and see what's delicious, bring you some." Without waiting for Lu Xun to speak, she turned around and flew to chase Sun Ce as if she was looking for Sun Ce.

Lu Xun was speechless.
