Chapter 112 The Young Master and the Farmhand 19
If you want to accomplish a great cause, you can't just fight wars, you also need to win the hearts of the people. At least in the areas you control, the people must be united.
At this time, Jinchuan, which was controlled by the Liu family, seemed too trivial in terms of controlling the people's hearts.
In Jinchuan, there are many prestigious families, but none of them dares to challenge the Liu family in terms of scale.
Lu Changning looked at the map in his hand, which marked the powerful people from all over Jinchuan, and tapped his fingers lightly on the table.
"Nowadays, other big families live in other states and will not pose any threat for the time being. But how can Jinchuan alone still have so many hidden talents?"
Yu Miao slowly approached from behind with his clothes on, and also looked at the map in Lu Changning's hand: "Jinchuan is full of powerful people. Although they are not very large, they are like ants. Once they start to make trouble, it is not impossible for an ant to bring down a giant elephant."
Lu Changning was also worried about this problem: "If you want to expand your influence, you must first ensure the stability of your family. But before, the Liu family only knew how to develop wealth, but not how to win the hearts of the people. At this moment, Jinchuan's internal problems cannot be underestimated."
Yu Miao put his head tightly on Lu Changning's shoulder: "Little Lu, why should you worry so much? The Liu family has a lot of prestige over the years, and ordinary families dare not provoke them easily. Most of their families are profit-seeking, and it is not so easy to cooperate with them."
Lu Changning sighed and put away the map on the table. "I just feel that the current situation is not optimistic. If the Liu family wants to plot something, they must change from within. The Liu family must be the first to clean up the place."
Yu Miao reminded: "This matter must first be approved by the head of the family. And the knife that stabs the family must also find a suitable person to control it."
After hearing Yu Miao's reminder, Lu Changning set out to look for the head of the family.
The old man has been in much better spirits since Lu Changning came back. He is now chatting with several of Lu Changning's uncles in the study.
Seeing the uncles in the house, Lu Changning thought of the original owner's father, who was also a very capable man. Unfortunately, because he was too upright, he could not survive in the Liu family, a family that required obedience, and was forced to leave his hometown early.
The reason why the original owner became the heir was probably because he had no father's protection, making it easier to control him.
As soon as Lu Changning arrived, the head of the family waved his hand and drove these uncles out.
The few of them really hated and feared Lu Changning, and seeing that the head of the family valued him so much, they could only stay away from him.
When only Lu Changning and the head of the family were left in the study, the flattering atmosphere in the room completely dissipated.
"Tell me, what is your plan for coming to see me?" The head of the family turned his wheelchair and slowly moved from the desk towards Lu Changning.
Lu Changning stepped forward respectfully and laid out his thoughts.
After hearing Lu Changning's idea, the head of the family did not rush to express his opinion, but his expression was very solemn.
There was silence in the room for a long time. No one spoke. Only the rosary in the master's hand was spinning bit by bit, making crisp sounds.
Finally, the head of the family spoke.
"You said you wanted to deal with other families, and I didn't stop you because it was the only way to keep my Liu family prosperous. But now you're pointing the knife at your own family members. Are you trying to split them?"
Lu Changning shook his head and advised: "Grandpa, I am doing this for the prosperity of the Liu family. You should know that if a big tree has too many branches and leaves, it will waste nutrients and make the tree unable to bear fruit. Only by removing the extra branches can the resources of the family be accurately distributed to every outstanding member of the family."
The head of the family looked at Lu Changning with a stern face and a bad tone, obviously angry: "Why, do you think my Liu family can't even support our own people now?"
If the patriarch looked like this, other clan members might have knelt down on the spot, but the person opposite was Lu Changning, who was still sitting quietly, and even had a smile on his face.
"Grandpa, it's just a normal discussion, why get angry. If the Liu family just wants to stay in Jinchuan as before, there is no need to do this. Many of the Liu family's children can be supported if they take root in Jinchuan."
After a pause, Lu Changning continued, "But if we want to focus on the entire continent, then the family's ethos must be rectified. Only in this way can we distance ourselves from other families."
The head of the family was obviously shaken: "But if this is the case, I'm afraid people's hearts will be unstable. Those kids are incompetent. If they go out like this, I'm afraid they will only starve to death."
"Grandpa, with the financial resources of the Liu family, it will not be a problem to support them for the rest of their lives. However, we cannot let them use the power of the Liu family to do whatever they want. In the current situation, we can only eliminate these members who are holding back, and then the family can move forward."
When Lu Changning started to speak, the rosary in the master's hand did not stop turning. At this time, the rosary that had been turning was finally pressed down.
"Well, this family will be handed over to you sooner or later. It's better to start cleaning it up while I'm still alive than to hand over a mess to you in the end."
Hearing the words of the patriarch, Lu Changning felt warm in his heart. This grandfather actually had some sincerity towards him.
Now that the decision has been made, it is time to start taking action. The head of the family immediately called several of Lu Changning's uncles back to the study room, and after discussion, they finally decided to let the childless second uncle enforce the family rules.
"Second brother, you have always been fair, so you must put the family in order. If anyone disobeys your discipline, let him come to me."
Once you come to find the head of the family, you will face more than just punishment!
The people around who were listening to the news lowered their heads, thinking about their children's recent performance. Don't make trouble for Liu Changning, the bastard, at this critical moment!
After leaving the patriarch's place, Lu Changning wanted to go to Niutou to discuss things, but as soon as he left, he was blocked by the group of uncles.
As a good young man who knows etiquette and shame, Lu Changning of course saluted respectfully.
But his uncles and aunts were not so polite, they started to curse him right away. And they cursed him in groups.
There is plenty of sunshine here, and the sunlight shines down just right on these people.
He didn't want to listen to any of the noisy noise in his ears. All he could see was the saliva spurting out like a waterfall in the sunlight.
Oh, how unhygienic...
Lu Changning hated himself for not bringing a mask with him. He wanted to cover his face with his sleeves, but felt it was unsightly. He was filled with disgust, but could not show it on his face.
Ah, he was going crazy. These people were so verbal. Sooner or later, he would send them all to grow flowers.
He was slapped hard on the face: "Liu Changning, did you hear me? Speak!"
