Zhou Mufu, in the study.
Lu Xuan read a miscellaneous book on Legalism, with a relaxed expression on his face.
With the help of Xiangrui's incident, the problem of Zhang Zhao, the representative of the Yangzhou wealthy family, was dealt with, and the Yangzhou wealthy family was further attacked, and Lu Xuan's subordinates were less likely to have internal troubles.
Even in Yangzhou, there are still powerful families in various places, and their influence is not great.
The system of the powerful clan is not easy to destroy, or rather cannot be destroyed. Because he will continue to transform, powerful families can become powerful people, they can become high-ranking officials, and they will always remain the privileged class.
After the establishment of the Five Classics Hall, scholars from poor families continued to emerge. The scholars from poor families who gradually came to power would become new powerful and powerful people, and they would become the people they used to hate.
This is inevitable.
What Lu Xuan wants to do is to ensure the mobility of the upper and lower classes and ensure that the class is not solidified. As long as energy continues to promote people at the bottom, Lu Xuan's system will be dynamic and will not collapse.
While Lu Xuan was reading, the sound of footsteps came.
Lu Xun entered and saluted respectfully: "Uncle, Chen Tang, Cao Xi and Peng Yuan are outside asking for an audience."
Lu Xuan thought for a while, his eyes a little cold. Chen Tang, Cao Xi and Peng Yuan were the people who had been in contact with Lu Xuan early in the morning. These people had gained a lot of benefits through Lu Xuan.
Lu Xuan's power expanded, and the three major families all benefited. However, the three of them were not satisfied and joined forces with Zhang Zhao to make further profits from the auspiciousness.
This is something Lu Xuan does not allow.
Lu Xuan did not explicitly order the disposal of the three major families, which was the most merciful approach. Now the three people came to ask for help, apparently because their family was being targeted and they came to Lu Xuan for help.
Lu Xuan said: "I went to send a message, but I didn't see you."
"Here!"
Lu Xun turned around and left.
After a while, Lu Xun arrived at the gate of the Prefectural Mufu Mansion. Before he could speak, Chen Tang took the lead and asked, "What did Lu Shijun say?"
Peng Yuan and Cao Xi also looked over.
The three people's eyes were full of expectation.
Lu Xun ordered: "You three, please come back."
Chen Tang's mind went blank for an instant, and he was completely lost in thought. His legs weakened and he fell to the ground again. But Chen Tang is the head of the family after all, so he quickly reacted.
After he came here, he couldn't just go back like this, so he immediately knelt on the ground and said loudly: "Young Master, Chen Tang is the one who has been following Lu Shijun since the beginning. When Lu Shijun brewed Feixian Wine, we fully supported him. .”
"When Lu Shijun needed money, our three major families also gave money and food, and even donated land to Lu Shijun. Our three major families were all determined to support Lu Shijun, and there was absolutely no second-guessing. Heart."
"I sincerely ask Ambassador Lu to spare some time to meet with us."
Chen Tang said: "Young Master, we are not enemies, we are Lu Shijun's people. Please help us report it again."
Cao Xi also understood, and knelt on the ground, banging his head on the ground, and said: "We always obey Mr. Lu's arrangements and never have any thoughts. Please, young master, be sure to report to Mr. Lu Sir, meet us."
Peng Yuan cried bitterly, knelt on the ground, and said with choked sobs: "We are loyal to Lu Shijun, and heaven and earth can learn from it. Please, young master, report it again."
The banging sound kept ringing.
Chen Tang, Cao Xi and Peng Yuan's heads hit the ground, and their skins were broken in the blink of an eye.
Seeing this, Lu Xun couldn't bear it for a moment and ordered: "You guys wait a moment."
He turned around and headed into the Prefectural Shepherd's Mansion.
After Peng Yuan, Cao Xi and Chen Tang heard this, they looked at each other, with a look of hope in their eyes. They all had hope and were even more ecstatic.
After a while, Lu Xun came to the study and reported: "Uncle, Chen Tang, Cao Xi, and Peng Yuan cried bitterly and said they were loyal to my uncle. They kept kowtowing and still want to see you."
"not see!"
Lu Xuanyan answered concisely and concisely.
Lu Xun hesitated for a moment and then said: "Uncle, Chen Tang and the others want to gain benefits because of the auspicious matter. However, their loyalty is true. Why does uncle insist on not seeing such people? Wouldn't it be cool to deal with loyal ministers? The human heart down there.”
Seeing Lu Xun's confused look, Lu Xuan chuckled and said, "Do you think it will chill people's hearts?"
Lu Xun nodded solemnly.
Lu Xuan explained: "You are too young. This time about auspiciousness, they are doing it for profit and have no loyalty at all. If there is loyalty, they will not give auspiciousness indiscriminately."
"If you open the net this time, something auspicious will happen next time."
"The reason is very simple. If your handling is not decisive enough, the people below will know your shortcomings and your softness, and use this to target you."
"You are the one in power, the one in charge, and you must give both grace and power."
"Furthermore, we cannot let the people below know your character. If the people below know that you are greedy for money, soft-hearted, and affectionate, they can start from these aspects and further target you."
"That becomes your weakness."
Lu Xuan looked patient and taught earnestly; "The people below will be grateful if you don't have a soft heart or just give benefits. On the one hand, what they want to be grateful for is your respect; on the other hand, they will be grateful." It’s profit.”
"If both aspects are in place, the people below will naturally be loyal and grateful."
"Take the Cao family, the Peng family and the Chen family for example. Because of me, the three major families have benefited a lot. But people are greedy. They are not satisfied with the status quo. They are desperate to offer auspiciousness and put me on the fire. , there must be a disposal.”
"You don't have thunderous means to scare Xiao Xiao."
Lu Xuan trained people as always, but now, the person he trained was Lu Xun.
Lu Xuan reminded: "In short, you can't feed white-eyed wolves by giving benefits to gain loyalty. In this world, most people are white-eyed wolves. Because they are greedy, they must be restrained and controlled. A very small number of people are white-eyed wolves. Only a small group of people can be self-denial and serve the public good and uphold loyalty. Only in this way can loyalty become valuable."
Lu Xun was thoughtful after listening.
After a while, Lu Xun said: "My nephew understood what my uncle meant, which is to hit the snake seven inches. He made a mistake and it must be beaten painfully to make him remember the lesson and not dare to touch the bottom line again. For example, auspiciousness, just like No one dares to fool around."
Lu Xuan nodded and smiled, approvingly saying: "Yes, you said it very well."
Lu Xun was also happy in his heart.
He saluted Lu Xuan and turned around to inform. Lu Xun came to the gate and saw Chen Tang, Cao Xi and Peng Yuan. He waved his hands and said, "Go back, Ambassador Lu. You are nowhere to be seen."
After speaking, Lawrence Lu turned around and went back.
When Chen Tang, Cao Xi and Peng Yuan heard the result, they all froze completely. Each and every one of them looked disappointed, with helplessness, hatred, and even despair. The three of them finally stood up, staggered away, and went back to deal with the ensuing dilemma.
Lu Xun returned to the study and reported: "Uncle, I told you the arrangements for my disappearance, so I came back directly without any further delay."
"you are wrong."
Lu Xuan shook his head again.
"ah!"
Lu Xun couldn't help being surprised and asked with a puzzled look on his face, "What's wrong with my nephew?"
Lu Xuan explained: "You should further observe the reactions of the three people. If they accept it obediently, there is no need to worry about it. If they are resentful, they must be dealt with further. Details are always the most important. And they deserve all this. . If you want to gain big benefits, you have to bear the consequences of failure."
Lu Xun had a look of astonishment on his face and said sincerely: "My uncle is wise, my nephew will remember it."
Lu Xuan waved his hand, and Lu Xun stepped back.
Lu Xuan continued to read, but after a while, Lu Xun ran over quickly, looking a little excited, and reported: "Uncle, there is good news from Aunt Qiao's yard, Auntie is pregnant."
After Lu Xuan heard this, he was also in high spirits. A smile appeared on his angular face. He stood up and hurried to Xiao Qiao's yard.
