Lu Kang's scolding saliva was dry, so he stopped unsatisfied, picked up the tea bowl next to him and poured a few sips, which calmed down a lot, and said unhurriedly:

"Alright, I'm done. If you want money or death, you can choose for yourself! Anyway, my body is getting worse day by day, and I have been doing this patriarch for more than 30 years, and my heart has long been tired of it. Since none of you will listen to me, then I will let it go. Whoever you like, let him go! ”

After saying that, he was about to leave, but everyone hurriedly stopped him and persuaded each other with good words.

Just kidding, if he said this in normal times, everyone would probably be able to fight to the death for the patriarch's belonging. But at the moment, this patriarch is the top cylinder, no matter who comes to be in charge, he will be scolded to death, and even his life may be lost if he is not careful. Whoever takes over is stupid, or you continue to fool around!

Besides, it depends on the neutral posture that your old man just trained his son, but there is no feeling of being half a point into the ground, and it will be no problem to mix it for a few more years.

Although everyone is on the side of their hearts, this is just a means for him to retreat, and at this time they have to cooperate with him to perform:

"Patriarch, don't say that, this patriarch must be you."

"That's it, except for you as the patriarch, I don't accept anyone else."

"That's right! Especially at this critical moment of life and death, it is even more necessary for your rich experience to lead us out of the predicament. You can't pick on your son at this time! ”

"That's right, we really can't do without your guidance! Just bother you to stick to it for a few years! ”

……

Lu Kang saw that he had achieved his goal, so he pretended to be reluctant to sit down in the main seat again under the push of everyone, and his tone was slightly mocking:

"Agreed? Did you really think about it? Listen to me? ”

"Of course, it's all up to your ......"

Lu Kang put on a good shelf, and then waved his hand and said:

"Alright, since you listen to me, let's move! It's so decided, Zhang Fan's deadline is one month, you guys hurry up and get ready to go! ”

Everyone left unwillingly, Lu Kang returned to the house and summoned the men in the family to the study to discuss matters. Lu Jun sincerely apologized to his father, but Lu Kang did not express his position, but looked at his youngest son Lu Ji and asked:

"Your brother just said that when we move to Huiji, we will definitely be poisoned by Zhang Fan, what do you think?"

Lu Ji replied without hesitation: "Father, I don't think so. On the contrary, I think Zhang Fu will not only not move us, but will definitely try to protect us. ”

Lu Kang couldn't deny: "Oh, why do you say this? ”

Lu Ji said eloquently: "First of all, although Zhang Fan ordered the Jiangdong Hao clan to move to Huiji, we had to leave. However, due to the limited conditions, it is impossible to move all the wealthy families to Huiji, and at most move away the top wealthy families in the local area, but there are still many second- and third-rate wealthy families left, and this group of people is still a large force——"

"The main reason why our people did not fight fiercely this time is that we are far from a dead end. After all, Huiji is also the largest city in Jiangdong today, and moving there is not entirely a bad thing. But if we move over and Zhang Fan still attacks us, it will cause a widespread panic, and others will inevitably jump over the wall in a hurry under the sadness of the rabbit and the fox...... Zhang Fan, who is already in control of the situation, needs stability most at this time, and what he is most afraid of is variables......"

Listening to his younger brother's words, Lu Jun couldn't help but retort:

"Good. Even if you're right. Zhang Fan cherishes his wings and lets us go for the time being, what about Zhang? If we don't wipe our possessions clean, will they give up easily? ”

Lu Ji smiled slightly, "Big brother, you're wrong." Hehe, I'm afraid that the situation of the Zhang family is worse than ours now, it would be good if we didn't fall into the well, how could they have the kung fu to fight against us? ”

Lu Jun didn't believe it: "The Zhang family has become more and more prosperous in recent years, and in the name of Zhang Fan, whether it is a boat or a businessman, it is like the sky. When you get to Huiji and Zhang Fan's protection, won't you go further? How do you suddenly sound alarmist? ”

"Brother, you underestimate Zhang Renfu's weight too much-", Lu Ji sighed:

"From building a city with a large amount of money to forcibly relocating the wealthy family in the face of the world's disapproval, it can be seen that its ambition is not small. This is clearly the rhythm of cutting the wealthy family and setting Jiangdong to map the world. How can such a person be bound by the family? ”

"The most ruthless imperial family. People like them will only hold power firmly in their hands, and what they think and do is nothing more than two words - centralization. Centralization. Recentralization! How can others be allowed to share his authority? I, the Lu family, are jealous of Zhang Fan, but today's Zhang family is no better than us. Can Zhang Fan tolerate it? ”

"Think again...... Could it be that Zhang Fan's suppression of the powerful in various places is to change from the 'four surnames of Wu's" to the dominance of the Zhang family? In that case, when he dies, will his son still be able to command these uncles? Hmph, you see that Zhang's flowers are now brocade, cooking oil on a blazing fire, in fact, he is like a fat pig waiting to be cooked, just waiting for the butcher to start eating the meat......"

Lu Jun suddenly realized, opened his mouth but couldn't say anything. Lu Kang looked at his youngest son with satisfaction, nodded and sighed:

"Ji'er, you really didn't disappoint your father. If you have such a sober understanding and insight, it means that my Lu clan will not die tomorrow, and survival and death are just around the corner. ”

"Father, you are serious-", Lu Ji said worriedly:

"But...... We are safe for now, but the trees want to be quiet and the wind will not stop. We are always a thorn in the bucket for Zhang Fan. When Zhang Fan really consolidates his power one day, he will still free up his hands to attack us...... Otherwise, let's sell all the mine properties to Zhang Fan cheaply! Even if you have a good fate, it will be regarded as breaking the fortune and eliminating the disaster......"

"It's useless. This can only cure the disease, not the root cause. To blame...... I can only blame our Lu clan for being too prosperous! With such a big behemoth, no one can really put their minds at ease. This is what people often call 'guilty of guilt'! ”

Lu Kang's tone was heavy, and after a moment, he said dejectedly:

"Since it's a throw-in, let's just be thorough. I've decided, let's just divide it! ”

Lu Jun and Lu Ji screamed in surprise, but he didn't expect his father to propose a division. You must know that the Lu family has established an ancestral motto since a hundred years ago: only the family is separated, not the clan, so most of the clansmen live in the clan land, watch over each other and help each other, and outsiders dare not bully.

But once the sect is divided, the patriarch of the Lu clan no longer has jurisdiction over the separated family. It's the same bloodline, and I'm afraid it can only drift away from now on...... It is impossible to imagine being in the same boat as before......

Lu Jun's face sank like water, you must know that he has always regarded the patriarch as his bag, so he waited for his father to breathe. Once this sect is divided, the power of the patriarch is greatly reduced, doesn't that kill him? So he immediately objected:

"Father think twice! The ancestral precepts cannot be violated. Once this is separated, it is impossible to take it back! In this way, our Lu family will really be ruined! ”
