Shen Nanxun had seen the prosperity in the south and always felt that the navy's salary should be more generous than that in the north.
But he still wanted to argue: "Now the Lord will be in trouble."
Lu Sanlang shook his head, "No matter how difficult it is, we must never forget our important duties. We can't even train troops to fight the enemy well."
"The capital also trains the navy day and night. Every year during the Qianqiu Festival, the navy is taught and paraded. How can it be so inappropriate?" Shen Nanxun has been in Kyoto in the past few years. Every year during the Qianqiu Festival, the navy is taught and paraded. The formation is quite impressive from a distance.
Now it was not only Lu Sanlang, but Lu Erlang, who had always been steady, was a bit scornful, "What can you do if you practice in a big pool all day long? I'm afraid the teachings are fake and the tide is real."
Shen Nanxun is not in a position to comment on whether it is true or not, but there are indeed many entertainment projects at the end of each year's teaching session. In addition to swimming, there are also swimming, water polo, dragon boat racing, and water swings... There are traditional entertainment projects every year, and everyone knows how to do it. There are new ways to play that are unheard of.
It is said that it is very lively. In addition to navy soldiers, children from rich families can also give it a try if they are capable.
Shen Nanxun was not interested in the projects after the teaching session. If there were no problems, he usually left after the teaching session was over. Even if he stayed in the observation building, he would mainly talk, look at it from time to time, and never participate.
"Everyone in the capital is running a horse race. How many of them can go into battle?" Lu Erlang said.
Shen Nanxun was not stupid, he had just been in the North, and his understanding of the navy was only what he learned every year. He didn't understand the specifics. Lu Erlang naturally understood three points after a little reminder.
Not to mention horse racing, there are many good hunters among the children in the capital every autumn and winter. Shen Nanxun really can't count the number of people who can go for a run outside the customs, or even go into battle to kill the enemy.
Thinking about it, Kyoto diverted water to build a golden liquid pond in the west. It is reported that tens of thousands of manpower were spent just to train the navy. Every year, the training parade is also held in the golden liquid pond.
"There are many martial arts training grounds around Kyoto, but how can you train the cavalry battalion?" Lu Erlang asked, "Did your Shen family's cavalry battalion train at the racecourse?"
Shen Nanxun joked, "It's embarrassing to say that the Shen family couldn't even build a decent camp for the cavalry camp."
"That's right. I heard that teaching and reading are all carried out on a day without wind or rain. Huh, the water bandits will not choose a sunny day to come."
Two months ago, Shen Nanxun did not go out on business. "I never heard about the water bandits' attack in the court."
Lu Sanlang was a little angry, "Either the news has not come out of Cangjiang Mansion, or it is suppressed in the case of a certain prime minister."
Lu Erlang warned his younger brother to be careful, "My grandfather offended Jin Shang for opening up the sea and had to return to his hometown. Now that sea trade has become like this, my grandfather is not at ease."
Shen Nanxun never thought that the Lu family wanted their children to join the officialdom because of maritime trade.
When Lu Zhan was young, he was like an emperor's teacher. When he was in his early thirties, he was worshiped by Zhongshushe. At that time, the official family was still Emperor Xiao. Today, the official family's grandfather, Emperor Xiao, always calls him to discuss classics and politics when he has nothing to do.
Lu Zhan came from Zhejiang and Zhejiang, and his family was involved in the shipbuilding business. He also had considerable insights into shipbuilding and merchants, and was committed to promoting maritime trade.
However, the late emperor, who was still the fourth prince at the time, did not agree to open sea trade. The other prince and the second prince agreed with Lu Zhan.
It's hard to say whether Lu Zhan chose the more ambitious second prince in order to successfully open the sea, or whether the second prince chose Lu Zhan in order to gain support. In short, they were getting closer. To outsiders, Lu Zhan and the second prince seemed to be of the same school.
In the end, the two of them promoted the opening of the sea when Emperor Xiao was on the throne. However, the second prince did not wait until Emperor Xiao passed away before entering the mausoleum first.
The fourth prince ascended to the throne smoothly, and there was nothing wrong with it. It was common for officials and ministers to have political disagreements, but things were not that simple.
The young and energetic Lu Zhan once commented that the fourth prince was content with the status quo, indulged in pleasure, and was not useful. Unfortunately, these words also reached the ears of the fourth prince.
Lu Zhan also forgot one word when commenting on the fourth prince, that is, the teeth must be repaid.
Under this situation, Lu Zhan not only failed to achieve his goals, he was even ostracized at the behest of the late emperor.
How could Lu Zhan, who has been the proud son of heaven since he was a child, endure it? But after all, he is a minister, thunder and rain, and a military emperor.
If you can't bear it anymore and can't afford to be cruel, then you have no choice but to get out.
Lu Zhan took advantage of Ding You's opportunity to resign and never joined the officialdom again. In order to prevent his descendants from encountering the same thing as himself, Lu Zhan also prevented his descendants from entering the officialdom.
Even though the former official became the late emperor, Lu Zhan still did not relent. After all, the current official was the only adult son of the late emperor, and he was also the prince whom the late emperor took and raised personally.
The temperament of the official family is exactly the same as that of the late emperor, or even better.
Not only are they extravagant and enjoy themselves, but they are also jealous and suspicious.
Shen Nanxun has been in Kyoto for many years and has a lot of experience with the temperament of the official family. I am afraid that the official family may not be able to forget the grudges that the late emperor still remembers.
"If this is the case, now is not a good time to become an official." Shen Nanxun still expressed his thoughts.
"There is a lot of suspicion among the officials. Although the Lu family has not been in official positions in recent years, their reputation has become more prominent. I'm afraid..."
Lu Erlang frowned, now is not a good time, he may not know it,
"Kuroro is the youngest, and the eldest brother is not very talented in academics."
The eldest brother is talking about Lu Dalang's eldest son, who is also the oldest child in the next generation. He is now fifteen or sixteen years old. If someone in the Lu family is told that his talent is not good, he will probably suffer a lot in the future.
If Lu Jiulang still chooses not to become an official, it will be difficult for anyone in the Lu family to make a fortune in the next few years.
The Lu family can't wait, Haimao can't wait, and I'm afraid Mr. Lu Zhanlu can't wait either.
Shen Nanxun didn't know the Lu family's specific plans and couldn't wait for several years, what if it was three years.
"Kiuro is less than twenty-two now. If he waits for another subject, he will only be twenty-five."
"But the official family is upright and in the prime of life." Lu Sanlang said.
It is true that an official became an official at the age of twenty. Now in the 16th year of Yongping, six out of ten official officials are only in their thirties. If they wait for another subject, they will be only forty. Indeed, the possibility of becoming an official is still higher.
Bigger.
Although there is no clear conclusion, everyone in the Lu family also has seeds of hesitation in their hearts.
Lu Erlang put down his tea bowl and said, "That's all, it's late at night. We'll discuss everything later. We have plenty of time."
After several bowls of tea, the gentlemen had already sobered up from the wine.
But they never thought that it was so late and the children were still waiting for them with dazed eyes.
Shen Nanxun was the first to return to the courtyard. Brother Ba was already sleepy, but Shen Nanxun didn't come back. Cuizhi coaxed him all night and couldn't coax him to bed.
In order to wait for Shen Nanxun, Brother Chen sat alone on the large rose chair and dozed off little by little with his soft pillow and hat strap.
Shen Nanxun went back to the house and was a little surprised to see the scene in front of him, "What's going on? Why don't you wait for Brother Ba to sleep?"
The voice was so low that Cuizhi sounded more majestic.
Cuizhi didn't know what happened, but she knelt down as soon as Shen Nanxun finished speaking.
"Brother won't sleep, saying he wants to wait for the crown prince."
