Lu family and Lu Shanchang are in a very good mood today. Today is his birthday. The Lu family is full of family. Many old friends from that year came to celebrate his birthday today, and several sons also toasted him with wine.

He felt that his birthday today was more comfortable than the birthday ten years ago, and he felt refreshed when he was happy. The Lu family is far more than in previous years, and even far more than in ten years ago.

If the Lu family ten years ago felt the smell of decay and decline, then the Lu family is now booming, with a bright future and countless possibilities!

Ten years ago, Lu Shanchang felt that he was old, but today ten years later, Lu Shanchang felt that he was young and he didn't want to die yet. He still wanted to lead the Lu family to rise again, and he still wanted to restore the Lu family's former glory!

After a busy day, night fell. Lu Shanchang sat in the meeting hall. Lu Zheng bowed his head and walked in, kowtowed in front of him in a regular manner, saying, "Grandfather's birthday, grandson kowtowed to you!"

Lu Shanchang smiled and stepped forward to help him up and said, "Grandson, I don't know how many years my grandfather's birthday is not as glorious as today. This is all your credit!

The most important thing about the prosperity of a family is people. If talents emerge and the population is prosperous, the family will become strong. If the descendants are incompetent, the family will become weak. If the population declines, the family will become weak!

My Jiangnan Lu family has become increasingly declining, and in his later years, he was even in danger. His grandfather thought he would never be able to make a comeback in his life. He didn't expect that he would get a treasure grandson like you in his later years. You are the genius of the Lu family and the number one genius since the founding of the Great Kang Dynasty! You gave my grandfather the second life!"

Lu Shanchang's tone was extremely sincere, and his eyes looked at Lu Zheng were full of pampering, as if he was looking at a treasure! Lu Zheng said: "Grandfather, today's grandson came here to kowtow to pay your birthday. Second, grandson had an important thing to discuss with his grandfather!"

Lu Shanchang said: "I wish you this kind of birthday, grandfather was very happy in his heart. However, grandfather wanted to listen carefully to what you said. Your solemn matter must be related to the prosperity of the family. Tell me, grandfather listens carefully!"

Lu Zheng said: "The situation in the capital is very delicate at the moment. Your Majesty asked the two princes to race horses. The two princes went to war one by one, and the capital suddenly became empty!

Now the grandson in the cabinet is on the side of Su Xiang, and the other side of Duan Xiang are all the confidants of His Highness Qin! The two sides are now fighting openly and secretly in the court. Although there is no fierce confrontation, the conflict has become increasingly fierce. Under such circumstances, Su Xiang originally wanted to visit you, but now it seems that he can only delay it! But now our Lu family has a relaxed environment, so I don’t know how my grandfather planned and considered it!”

Lu Shanchang's pupils closed, and he pondered for a long time and said, "Sunny, I feel quite urgency when you say this. But his grandson thinks whether the two princes are allowed to race horses, is it Dongbianliang or Westbianliang?"

Lu Zheng shook his head and said, "It's hard to stop, but no matter which side is bright, when the two princes return to Beijing, the situation in the capital must have changed. By then, whether it is Su Qing's family or Duan Qing's family, it is probably a matter worth paying attention to. At present, I think Su Xiang's chance is greater!"

Lu Shanchang said: "It's great, my Lu family will have a chance, but..."

Lu Zheng said: "Grandfather, what do you want to say, but it's okay to say it!"

Lu Shanchang hesitated for a moment and said, "My grandfather is old and wants to return to his roots when he is old. After all, the capital is in the north and is not suitable for the land! Besides, our Lu family's foundation is in the south of the Yangtze River, and we are always outsiders in the north, so my grandfather still wants to go back to Jinling!"

Lu Zheng's expression moved and nodded, "This is the place I want to discuss with my grandfather. Although it is good in the capital, it is home in Jiangnan! There is another more important point, that is, the situation in the capital is changing, and the emperor is accompanying the king at his feet is like a tiger. These are the disadvantages of my Lu family!"

Lu Shanchang said: "But there is one thing that grandson must not ignore, that is, once the Lu family leaves the capital, you will be isolated and helpless in the capital. Can a person deal with the change?"

Lu Zheng let out a long sigh and said, "This is exactly where I want to tell my grandfather. My home is in the capital, so I can't let go of my actions. Once there is a change, I will lose my backing! Grandfather, think, if Long Zhaoyan happens again, and the other party uses the Lu family as a threat, what should my grandson do?

Once the capital changes, the grandson wants to escape smoothly and can leave by himself, but what should you do? Therefore, staying in the capital is not conducive to the grandson's behavior. Grandfather, look at the current situation, which is getting worse and worse. No one can tell how the situation will change in the future. In this case, the Lu family must take this opportunity to seek benefits for themselves.

There is a saying that goes, "A hundred-year-old dynasty, a thousand-year-old family. When my Lu family returns to Jiangnan, my grandson has the power of the Ministry of Personnel. The Southern Court will definitely occupy a lot of opportunities. The resources in Jiangnan are concentrated in the Lu family. I believe that it will not take long for grandfather, your ambitions will be realized!"

Lu Zheng talked in a casual manner, and the light shone in Lu Shanchang's eyes. He was so old that he actually felt excited. The Lu family returned to Jiangnan and occupied all the resources. Isn't this to return to the glory of the past?

Lu Shanchang said: "My grandson's meaning is understood. You think Dakang is going to be in chaos and the world is going to be in chaos! Troubled times are when heroes come out, and turbulent times are also when wealthy families rise. Grandfather understands! But Su Xiang nodded, can the Lu family go back smoothly?"

Lu Zheng said: "The Lu family is a guest living in the capital. Only when the grandfather calls it sick, my father and uncles decided to go south to go home when they see your condition is getting worse. This is human nature, and no one can say anything!

When you arrive in Jiangnan, I ask Gu Zhilun to follow you back. Recently, the Gu family and the Chen family have sent a message through Gu Zhilun. The four of us were disagreeing back then because there was no leader. If the four of us can join forces again and our grandfather can control the situation, Jiangnan will definitely respond with one call!"

Lu Zheng drew a grand blueprint for Lu Shanchang in just a few words, that is, the Lu family in Jiangnan will be the main one, and the Gu family and Chen family will be affiliated. The situation in Jiangnan cannot be relied on the Lu family alone, but requires everyone to pick up firewood and fire. However, Lu Shanchang is the head of Jiangnan's family!

Lu Zheng came to Lu Shanchang and lowered his voice and said, "Gu Zhilun is reliable. He has tens of millions of taels of silver in his hand. Grandfather should know how to spend this silver, right?"

Lu Shanchang was stunned for a moment, his pupils suddenly closed and he said, "What grandson means..."

Lu Zheng said: "Recently, the court has been in a hurry. Every time His Majesty needs to use local government soldiers. Long Zhaoyan's affairs are to pacify the situation by relying on the government soldiers in Henan and Hebei. Now the Qin King also relies on recruiting government soldiers in the west to fight. Our southern government army has been pushed to the front-line battlefield in the northwest!

As a place as big as Jiangnan, the people are rich and the resources are abundant. The Nanfu Army cannot be empty forever. If our Lu family has the ability, we should have those who can work harder and take this burden down..."

Lu Shanchang's face instantly became extremely serious. He understood Lu Zheng's words. Lu Zheng's ambition was much greater than he had imagined. Lu Zheng wanted to rebuild the Nanfu Army.

If Jiangnan has its own army, its status will inevitably be on par with Henan, Hebei and Longyou! It is no exaggeration to say that once this matter is done, the Lu family will inevitably return to the ranks of wealthy families, and by that time the Lu family will be the King of Jiangnan!

Lu Shanchang's thoughts were changing, and his heart was extremely excited. He said, "My grandfather can do this, but if he wants to manage a military force, he needs to choose a general first! The matter of this general... not only requires outstanding talent, but more importantly, he is loyal, with the court in his heart, His Majesty and the country!"

Lu Zheng smiled and said, "There is more important point. This person must have me, Lu Zheng, in his heart!"

"Don't worry, grandfather, I've already found a candidate! This person's surname is Liu and Song. I have put him in the Song family army in Longyou for training over the years. I think he should be a human being after passing the years of training and fighting! I went to Song Laosan yesterday and asked him to release him immediately. When the person arrived in the capital, I immediately arranged him to Jiangnan. Grandpa should know what to do about the follow-up matters, right?"

Lu Shanchang smiled and said, "Son, you have done everything you should do. If grandfather still messed up this job, he would be hit by the thunder!

OK, that's it. Grandson, it's getting late. You go and rest early. Grandfather... I... I'm going to... I'm going to get sick too. I'm going to get sick soon and I'm going to be bedridden..."

Lu Zheng laughed loudly, and Lu Shanchang also laughed. The two old and young looked at each other. The two old foxes would laugh out loud, and both felt very comfortable.

After Lu Zheng finished this matter, he felt relieved and sent the Lu family back to Jiangnan. Lu Zheng was alone in the capital, and he was no longer under pressure. If he encountered the last incident again, he would calmly escape from the capital without even thinking about the safety of the Lu family.

Another important point is that Lu Zheng can only have the support to retreat if the Lu family rises in Jiangnan. If the matter in the capital is not done, Lu Zheng can still retreat to Jiangnan. As long as the Nanfu army is in his hands, will he still worry about falling into a state of doom?

Lu Zheng understood that people are not punished for themselves these days, and even the princes are in danger in the capital. Not to mention Lu Zheng!

Lu Zheng didn't expect to be at the end of his life and had no way out. He had to consider what he should do if he failed in the capital? What can he do?

After solving this problem, Lu Zheng put down a big stone in his heart, and he became more confident in dealing with the situation in the capital!
