Chapter 499: No Harmony
When Lu Desheng pointed out his shortcomings as a lord, everyone had different reactions.
Tian's face was filled with unconcealed disappointment. She had gradually come to terms with the situation over the past few days. Her father-in-law had rebelled, and no matter how far he went, the worst he could do was become a regional lord. As the eldest son of the eldest son's family, they had a chance to inherit the family business.
Even if her husband is useless, she still has her son, Lu Xiao. Her father-in-law has been training Lu Xiao for the past two years, and she has seen it all. Her father-in-law is still strong, and as long as he can hold on for another ten years, Xiao will grow up.
Now her father-in-law actually said that this faction couldn't be led by him? Wasn't her previous secret thoughts a joke?
Tian's mood changes were the most obvious. Everyone looked away without noticing. She couldn't even control her own emotions, so there was nothing to be afraid of.
Lu Zhiyuan: It’s not that he is useless, but there are people who are much better than him!
Yes, at this time Lu Zhiyuan already vaguely felt what his father wanted to do.
Lu Mingzhi: I was a little hurt by my father’s honest words.
At this moment, everyone's attention was focused on Qin Heng, Qin Sheng, and Lu Songli. The leader of the Qin-Lu Group could only be chosen from these three.
At this time, Lu Songli said, "Brother, can I talk to you?"
Qin Heng was both surprised and not surprised.
He nodded slightly, "Let's talk outside."
Qin Sheng hesitated and was about to take a step.
Qin Heng and Lu Songli looked at him at the same time, "Stay here, don't follow me."
Well, if you don’t let him follow, then he won’t follow.
Qin Sheng let out a long sigh. These two people, one was his elder brother, the other was his wife. He could probably guess what they were going to talk about next. He was so embarrassed. He just wanted to use the spear in his hand to drive away the barbarians. Why did he have to go through all this?
The people in the room also paused their previous topic, some were drinking tea, some were playing with their children.
Lu Songli and Qin Heng came to the outside of the yard. At this distance, people in the conference room could see them but could not hear their voices.
Both of them were wearing thick cloaks, one red and one white, standing opposite each other in the wind and snow.
"Brother, can I ask you a question?"
"Go ahead and ask." Qin Heng thought she would ask him about the thoughts of the leader of the Qinlu Group.
"What are your thoughts on the construction of our new regime?"
Qin Heng was puzzled.
"Or let me ask you another question. What kind of a place do you want to build your conquered kingdom into?"
Qin Heng laughed. They had only just started, occupying two states, and Sixth Brother's wife was already thinking so far ahead? Hadn't she considered what would happen if they ultimately failed?
But seeing her serious expression, Qin Heng also calmed down and looked at her carefully.
To be honest, Qin Heng had never thought about this question.
Even if asked now, he had no further ideas. The only thing he was sure of was that he had to expel the barbarians and foreigners and let the people of the world live and work in peace.
This kind of thinking is more about following the practices of the previous dynasty to govern the country. If possible, try to reduce taxes and levies as much as possible.
That's what he thought and that's what he answered.
After listening to this, Lü Songli nodded. Qin Heng had such an idea, which made him a good emperor. "Then, big brother, do you want to know what I, Lü Songli, want to build the empire we conquered together into?"
"You say." Qin Heng was quite curious.
"Let everyone in the world have enough food and clothing, and taxes will no longer be a crushing burden. Let children be able to afford education, and the elderly have a place to live and a place to rely on. Let the country's medical level be improved, so that everyone has a place to seek treatment and money to pay for it when they are sick."
While speaking, Lu Songli looked into the distance with a distant gaze.
Her voice was close at hand, yet seemed to be far away. She was describing her ideal country.
"Isn't this difficult?" Qin Heng said. Even in prosperous times, the emperor did not dare to say that all the people in the world would have enough to eat.
Lu Songli smiled and said, "Everything depends on human effort. We must work hard to find ways to help the people increase their harvests, establish more high-quality workshops, and create more job opportunities. Everyone should have a job, and women can work outside if they want. Husband and wife can work together to live a good life."
Do women not want to work and earn money? No, it's because of traditional values and the lack of jobs suitable for women.
Qin Heng thought of the clothing workshop and daily cleaning workshop in Houcheng, Liaodong County, and hired a lot of female workers.
"Now that our group has money, we can open more private schools and clinics..."
Qin Heng was attracted by the scene described by Lu Songli of people living and working in peace and contentment. It was so beautiful.
If someone else said this, Qin Heng would definitely find it funny.
But at this time, it was my sixth brother's wife who was speaking, and she was not the kind of person who spoke without purpose.
Thinking about Pingzhou today, Qin Heng felt that if the person in charge was his sixth brother's wife, it might really be possible.
Lu Songli and Qin Heng said this to tell him that they were walking on an unknown road. A leader not only needs to have the courage to move forward, but also needs to have firm beliefs and persistence and not be disturbed by anything.
Lu Songli is like a wise man who holds the correct answer. On this premise, she can try different problem-solving ideas to reach the final result.
Qin Heng, however, does not have a grand blueprint in his mind, so he may lose himself in the process of moving forward.
Qin Heng sighed, "Sixth sister-in-law, I understand."
It is easy to conquer a country, but difficult to keep it, and even more difficult to govern it.
This country is like a gorgeous robe full of problems. It is easy to seize it, but it is not easy to govern it well.
At this moment, Qin Heng also understood her good intentions. Uncle Lu had just said that he needed to distinguish between the primary and secondary between the Qin and Lu families and identify the backbone.
He, Xiaoliu, his sixth brother's wife, and Uncle Lu are the four people most likely to become the backbone.
After Uncle Lu voluntarily withdrew, there were only three of them left. If they continued to choose, no matter what they did, it might damage the harmony between the two families.
Maybe everyone seems fine on the surface, but there is a barrier in their hearts.
The words his sixth brother's wife called him out and told him made him realize who was more suitable to be the leader of the Qinlu Group.
This way of handling the matter will not hurt the relationship.
“This road is difficult, and the leader is destined to bear a heavy burden.”
Lu Songli smiled, "So, I hope Ah Sheng and the eldest, second, and third brothers can come and help me."
"good."
"Let me talk to my family about this."
"Okay, thank you for your help, big brother."
After the two finished their conversation and walked back, Qin Heng apologized to Lu Desheng and his wife for their loss, then called all the adults in the Qin family to the empty room next door. Lu Songli did not go, but Qin's mother went, and the other sisters-in-law also went. Qin Sheng left reluctantly.
Lu Desheng gave his daughter a questioning look, and Lu Songli nodded slightly, and he immediately smiled.
