If it were a thousand years ago, my lord, you wouldn't have to ask me, because within the aristocratic family, there are methods a hundred times more brilliant than mine. As my lord said before, the aristocratic family has existed for thousands of years after all."
"Um."
Nangong Shang nodded slightly and was about to ask how to plan for the next generation?
Han Zhuowu smiled, then changed the subject and said, "But if the noble families cannot make plans this time, it will be difficult for them to survive for a thousand years. In my opinion, the world is no longer the world of the times when the various nations were united, nor is it the world of the time when the Qin Dynasty was established.
It is indeed a time of great changes that has not been seen in a thousand years.
Aristocratic families can survive for thousands of years, but they may not survive in the present!"
He clasped his fists and said, "This minister's words were a bit reckless. I hope my lord will forgive me."
Nangong Shang frowned slightly, took a deep breath, and said cautiously: "Mr. Qing, there is no need to be shy. Just say whatever you want to say."
Although Han Zhuowu's words made him uncomfortable, this man was quite broad-minded and could actually endure it.
"I am sorry for the injustice."

First, as I have said before, the world today has changed a lot, and the situation and people's hearts are no longer the same as before.
In the past, when the various nations were at war, the cultural traditions of the world flourished, and so did the learning of the aristocratic families.
Therefore, if people’s hearts are divided, the king’s power cannot be unified.
But now, since the reign of King Sejong, Confucianism has been the only official doctrine. Although the theories of various schools of thought still exist, they have declined to the point where they no longer wear Confucian clothing or consider themselves Confucianists.
In this way, the aristocratic families are actually no longer aristocratic families. In my opinion, the reason why aristocratic families can be called aristocratic families is because they have their own family traditions.
If everyone in the world were a Confucian scholar, how could the aristocratic families always maintain their superiority over others?
Moreover, I have heard that when the Emperor was discussing the affairs of the country with Liu Muzhi and others, he mentioned that he wanted to vigorously improve the papermaking technology to make books cheaper so that everyone in the world could read and write.
Even the third lady from Tianxiaju has been actively recruiting craftsmen to do this.
If this really happens, then may I ask, my lord, how will the aristocratic family become an aristocratic family?"
