Lu Xuan looked at the excited scholars from a poor family, and his heart became more and more at ease.
From today on, these scholars from poor families have truly become his confidants. Moreover, if these people are enriched in the local area, and more scholars from poor families will be enriched in the local areas in the future, it will be enough to form the basis for restraining the powerful families.
This is the prerequisite for a stable foundation.
Lu Xuan and all the other nobles calmed down and stopped talking, leaving it to Zheng Xuan to take charge.
Zheng Xuan gave a brief speech, encouraged the poor men, and then disbanded the team. At the same time, he ordered the soldiers to send all the powerful family members away.
The Five Classics Pavilion was quiet again.
Zheng Xuan led Lu Xuan back to his office room.
Zheng Xuan looked admiring and said: "Lu Shijun's words have activated the students' energy and spirit, making them reborn and have more goals. On behalf of all the students, I would like to express my gratitude to Lu Shijun."
Lu Xuan said humbly: "Mr. Zheng is so polite, I should express my gratitude to you. My request for these poor scholars is not to ask them to become great Confucian scholars who are poor in their scriptures. I just hope that they can be as proficient in practical matters as Gong Zheng.
Being able to solve local problems is the most important thing."
Zheng Xuandao: "I understand."
Lu Xuan and Zheng Xuan also talked about the philosophy of the Five Classics Museum, which is to focus on practical matters, and the ability to handle things is the first priority. Then, there is ancient classics and other knowledge.
Lu Xuan and Zheng Xuan talked for half an hour before taking the others away.
The wheels roll and move forward quickly.
Lu Xun was sitting in the carriage, with little stars twinkling in his eyes, and a look of admiration on his face, as he said, "Uncle, you are so awesome. All the people from humble families admire you so much."
"I'm afraid you will let them die, and these people will be happy to do so. Didn't you see that the faces of the powerful and powerful family members who are watching are all darkened. They are both in awe and fear of you. Their expressions are really amazing."
Lu Xun was happy.
It was the wisest choice for him to stay with his uncle, as he could see many new things.
Lu Xuan smiled and said: "The words of the generals and the promises of rhetoric are just to boost their morale and arouse their fighting spirit. This can only be regarded as a target, not a principle. In essence, they must be pragmatic, talk less and do more down-to-earth work.
This is the most important."
"The same goes for you. Drinking and singing is the behavior of madmen and madmen. It is an act of grandstanding and is not something that people in power should indulge in. At any time, you must be cautious and prudent in doing things, be knowledgeable and pragmatic, and be determined in doing things."
Lu Xuan said: "Such a person, even if he is temporarily frustrated, will surely rise to great heights one day."
Lu Xun said respectfully, "My nephew understands."
Lu Xuan nodded.
The carriage galloped all the way back to the Prefectural Shepherd's Mansion. Lu Xuan was handling government affairs in the study. After lunch, he took a nap and continued to handle affairs in the afternoon.
Near the time of application, Zhang Zhao came.
When Zhang Zhao saw Lu Xuan, he bowed and said: "Zhang Zhao, a humble official, pays homage to the lord."
Lu Xuan smiled and said, "What's the matter?"
Zhang Zhao looked serious and said slowly: "My lord has built the Five Classics Museum, recruited scholars from poor families, and the lord has given me awards to establish Qionglin Garden. The news has spread in Shu County."
"Now, the news has spread like wildfire, and countless people from the big clans have expressed their opinions, saying that the Lord's move is reversing the yin and yang, and that he is abandoning the basic and chasing the weak."
"There are clearly ready-made children of wealthy families and people who are literate, but my lord doesn't need it, so he has to spend a lot of money."
"My lord, I accept my humble position to support the children of poor families, but suppressing the rich clan in this way is very inappropriate and can easily lead to turmoil. My lord is strong and can be arbitrary, but he cannot be so rude."
Zhang Zhao put his hands together, bowed and said, "My lord, please think twice."
Lu Xuan raised the corner of his mouth and asked, "What do you think Zibu should do to arrange it?"
Zhang Zhao said: "I believe that the area under the lord's jurisdiction has been further expanded, and a group of talented people can be selected from the big families and added to the lord's command. In this way, the Five Classics Hall has won over the poor families, and the official position has appeased the big families. The best of both worlds.”
Lu Xuan's smile grew brighter and he said: "Today's official structure is just right. Once more people are added, it will lead to redundant officials. Now that we are in the initial stage, we are expanding aggressively, resulting in redundant personnel. I'm afraid that in the future It’s even more troublesome.”
Zhang Zhao's expression changed slightly.
He actually didn't want to come and talk to Lu Xuan about these things.
The problem is that Zhang Zhao has connections with many wealthy families in Yangzhou, and his current status is tantamount to being a representative of the wealthy families in Yangzhou.
Lu Xuan promoted the poor family, so Zhang Zhao had to come.
Zhang Zhao said again: "Lord, compared to the redundancy of personnel and the loss of people's hearts, I believe that we should choose the lesser of two evils. After all, we need to choose the interests that are beneficial to the lord, and we must consider the overall situation."
Lu Xuan leaned forward, resting his left hand on the desk, leaning against the desk in front of him, and said with a smile: "I have an idea about this."
Zhang Zhao's brows jumped and he had a bad premonition and asked, "What do you think, my lord?"
Lu Xuan replied: "I plan to form a personal army to protect my safety. The person responsible is General Zhou Tai. The selection target is the heir of my subordinate generals. What do you think?"
The pupils in Zhang Zhao's eyes shrank.
Pro-military!
This method is absolutely perfect.
The pro-army is not a special prestigious official position, nor is it a high-ranking official or a generous salary. However, the pro-jun has one of the biggest characteristics. It is Lu Xuan's confidant army, and it has always been by Lu Xuan's side, so it is naturally close to Lu Xuan.
Once he showed up a little, he entered Lu Xuan's eyes.
This is the most special place.
And the most important point is that once Lu Xuan's identity changes in the future, Lu Xuan's status as a pro-soldier will also further change.
The generals could not refuse this step, which was equivalent to winning over most of the generals.
If the military generals do not support the opposition to Lu Xuan, can the big family alone have any effect? They dare not move at all. What's more, there are a large number of civil servants who have incompetent family members, and they can also be sent to the pro-army. This is a way.
It was like the civil servants and military generals were all won over by Lu Xuan.
Zhang Zhao's tall and straight back was slightly arched at this moment. He lost his previous straightness, and his eyes also lost their previous sharpness. He said respectfully: "My lord's arrangement is like an antelope hanging its horns. It is a miraculous craftsmanship, and I admire it even in this humble position."
Lu Xuan asked: "Is it feasible?"
"feasible!"
Zhang Zhao quickly answered.
Lu Xuan nodded and said: "In that case, let's arrange this matter. I don't want any problems to happen again."
Zhang Zhao felt suddenly nervous when he heard Lu Xuan's words.
In the past, Lu Xuan was high-spirited, full of energy, and extremely intelligent. However, there was no such great pressure on Zhang Zhao. Today, Lu Xuan's majesty is revealed, and Lu Xuan should have had a plan from the beginning and was waiting for someone. jump out.
Unexpectedly, it was him who jumped into the trap.
The more Zhang Zhao thought about it, the more he regretted it. If he had known it earlier, he should not have jumped out.
Zhang Zhao said respectfully: "Lord, I'll make arrangements for you now."
Lu Xuan nodded, Zhang Zhao turned around and walked out. When Zhang Zhao walked to the door, Lu Xuan's voice came from behind, saying: "Mr. Zibu, I want to give you a word. Only by never forgetting your original intention can you succeed." Always!"
Zhang Zhao's body stiffened.
He turned around, looked solemn, bowed to Lu Xuan respectfully, bowed to the end, and said loudly: "My lord, please remember your Lord's teachings."
After saying that, Zhang Zhao left.
Lu Xun looked at Zhang Zhao's leaving back and said, "Uncle, my nephew is a little confused. The wealthy family who recommended Zhang Zhao to come out to test clearly had other thoughts. Why didn't you just get rid of him and get married?" How about the army win over the civil servants and military generals who are interested in the rich family and ease the relationship?"
Lu Xuan asked: "If it were you, what would you do?"
A sharp light flashed across Lu Xun's eyes and he said: "Of course I will kill him. Killing will make them tremble and kill them with fear. From then on, uncle Qiangang has been arbitrary."
Lu Xuan shook his head and said: "You are wrong. Killing is the last resort. Especially in political battles, killing is the most unavoidable choice. There is a saying that Jianghu is not about fighting and killing, but about worldliness."
"For the same reason, governing a country is the same. Governing a country is not about killing, but about humaneness."
"I killed these people and dealt with Zhang Zhao, which can temporarily solve the problem. However, it will make them afraid and timid. They are worried that if they follow in my footsteps, other big clans will be pressured to continue to fight against me. "
"Adopting my methods can make them awe, make them obey, and make them integrate into me."
"In this way, there will be less confrontation."
"With less confrontation, there will be less internal friction. We can concentrate our energy and time on things, and no one will hold us back."
"Remember, if the water is clear, there will be no fish."
Lu Xuan looked at Lu Xun, who seemed to understand, and reminded: "If you require the people below to be loyal and have the same intentions, it is impossible. This can only exist in ideals. Read more and learn more, don't It’s either this or that, don’t be black and white, especially as a person in power, you have to look at multiple aspects.”
Lu Xun said respectfully, "My nephew understands."
Lu Xuan nodded, Lu Xun turned around and retreated, and Lu Xuan got up and went to Da Qiao's yard in the backyard.
Today, I have to accompany Da Qiao.
In this era, a man is the head of the family and has a group of wives and concubines. There are many benefits. However, when there are too many benefits, he feels a little tired and loses a little bit of money. However, he is tired and happy, and it is also a joy of life.
