Perform well and there will be rewards; fail to meet expectations and someone else will take your place.

If you can’t do anything right, then you’ll just take the basic welfare at home.

Let the family arrange your marriage, settle down early, and have more children.

After chatting for a while, Lu Changsheng summoned Lu Miaoyun, Lu Miaohuan, and Qu Zhenzhen.

Whether it was him, Ling Zixiao, or Lu Miaoge, none of them really intervened or paid too much attention to the internal affairs of the family.

So although the three of them talked, they still called Lu Miaoyun, Lu Miaohuan, and others to understand the actual situation of the family.

After Lu Changsheng expressed his thoughts, Lu Miaoyun and Lu Miaohuan naturally had no objections to this.

Just as Ling Zixiao said, as the main housekeepers of the family, they were naturally inundated with numerous miscellaneous duties.

Now also in charge of a plethora of family affairs, they were indeed very busy and had no time for cultivation on regular days.

For Lu Miaohuan, it was still alright as she advanced to the Seventh Level Energy Refinement with a High Rank Breakthrough Elixir.

Lu Miaoyun has not yet broken through to the Seventh Level Energy Refinement.

“Alright, Yun’er, Huanhuan, Zhenzhen, you must pay more attention to the internal and personnel affairs of the family,” seaʀᴄh thё Nôvel(F)ire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

“As for the spirit fields, fishery, medical gardens, shops, cooperative businesses, etc., there’s no need to rush. You roughly divide it up, and we’ll review it later to see how to arrange it.”

Lu Changsheng spoke up, saying this.

“Yes, my lord,”

the women responded.

After discussing the situation, they began to talk about the personalities of the children at home.

Lu Miaoyun said that children in the family, like Lu Ping’an and Lu Xianzhi, were still quite reliable.

But nowadays, some of the younger children were indeed a bit more mischievous.

On one hand, there were so many children in the family, and it was impossible to teach and nurture each and every one of them.

On the other hand, it’s also related to the family’s growing environment.

Back when Lu Changsheng was a son-in-law at Qingzhu Mountain, the children at home were somewhat restrained in their lives.

Now, with Lu Changsheng’s rise in status, the status of his wives and children also soared, affecting the children’s characters to some extent.

After chatting with his wives, Lu Changsheng stepped out of Changsheng Hall to have a heart-to-heart talk with his children.

In his view, as a father, his main work in the family was coordination.

He first sought out his eldest son, Lu Ping’an.

He asked his son for his views and feelings about the current situation of the family.

Lu Ping’an, though somewhat reserved and upright, still had a clear view of many things.

In his opinion, the biggest problem of the family was the harmony among brothers.

With so many brothers in the family, it was difficult to say they were close and friendly.

“Sigh.”

Hearing this, Lu Changsheng let out a light sigh.

He was more than aware of the issue.

Not to mention being close and friendly, and harmony among brothers, he reckoned that some of his children might harbor resentment due to his partiality, selfishness, and unfairness,

but they wouldn’t show it in the face of the family’s core interests.

After chatting with Lu Ping’an for a while, he then conversed with his son Lu Xianzhi and daughter Lu Ruyi.

Lu Xianzhi’s views were somewhat similar to Lu Ping’an’s.

He felt a sense of responsibility as the eldest in the family,

expressing guilt that, despite his average talent and capability, he was so favored by Lu Changsheng.

His daughter Lu Ruyi, on the other hand, didn’t feel much and thought the current situation wasn’t bad; she was quite happy.

When he found Lu Quanzhen, the latter was with Lu Caizhen in Hushan Town, taking two other younger siblings out to play.

“Father, your son greets you!”

“Daddy, Daddy, why are you here?”

Seeing Lu Changsheng, the four immediately greeted him.

Lu Quanzhen and his son Lu Huaizhen were relatively mature and greeted him respectfully.

Lu Caizhen and Lu Yuzhen, the two daughters, were much more affectionate and approached with laughing faces.

“Hehe, there was a big family meeting today, and I thought the family indeed neglected many aspects, so I came over to have a talk with you and hear your thoughts,” Your next journey awaits at My Virtual Library Empire

“And I noticed that Quanzhen seemed to have something to say at the meeting today.”

Lu Changsheng looked at his children, smiling as he spoke.

Turning to Lu Quanzhen in a gentle voice he said, “Quanzhen, you can talk to me privately or use a voice transmission if you have such concerns in the future. There’s no need to speak of such things in public, as it impacts the harmony between you and your brothers.”

“Daddy, brother had good intentions, there were no other meanings,”

“`

Lu Caizhen thought that his father came to lecture him and, while holding Lu Changsheng’s arm coquettishly, said,

“Father, I believe that it is only effective to bring up such matters on occasions like this.”

Lu Quanzhen, upon hearing this, showed a serious expression and said in a deep voice,

“Are you not worried that your words might provoke the displeasure of others?”

Lu Changsheng smiled and said,

He knew that his son was mature for his age and had a mind of his own.

In the preceding years, he had sent Lu Quanzhen to work under Hong Yi in Ruyi Prefecture, and Hong Yi had nothing but praise for him.

He said that Lu Quanzhen was steady in his work and decisive in killing.

But in fact, as his son grew older, he realized that he didn’t really understand him as much as he thought.

“I’m not worried. If they feel displeasure or resentment because I brought up this matter, it shows that these people do not share the same heart as the family and do not consider me a brother, so why should I care about their opinions?”

Lu Quanzhen, with deep eyes and a composed expression, said.

Lu Changsheng, hearing his son’s words, raised his eyebrows, roughly understanding his son’s ideas and thoughts.

He continued to ask, “Then, what other thoughts do you have about this?”

“Father, in my view…”

Lu Quanzhen slightly raised his eyebrows and slowly articulated his thoughts.

Lu Changsheng listened quietly.

His son, Lu Quanzhen’s ideas about the family were different from his own.

Essentially, it was about valuing rules over familial affection.

As Lu Quanzhen said, as a member of the family, one should share in its hardships and contribute to the family.

If one lacks this mindset, it indicates a lack of belonging to the family and not considering oneself a part of the family; in such cases, strict punishment should be administered to improve the moral climate.

This rationale even formed a loop—you contribute to the family, you are part of the family.

If you don’t contribute to the family, you are not considered one of us, and there is no need to be polite to such people.

“Brother, we’re all one family, you don’t have to be so strict.”

“Besides, everyone has different ambitions, and Daddy has always said that being happy is what matters.”

Lu Yuzhen stuck out her tongue and said so.

“No demands, being happy is what matters.”

Lu Changsheng, hearing these words, thoughtfully looked at his daughter.

Upon reflection, he realized that he had never had any particular demands on his children; as long as they were happy, that was good enough.

Even though he could see his children’s abilities through the system, he still tended to follow their own desires in many things.

He thought back to when his son Lu Wuyu spoke to him about the matters of the Lu Family in Ruyi Prefecture.

His son had stated that the Lu Family disciples were bound to produce arrogant individuals who needed to be strictly controlled.

Actually, the current situation in his own Blue Lake Mountain Lu Family also had tendencies in this respect.

“As their father, I indeed have been too permissive in this regard.”

“If we were just a large ordinary family, it wouldn’t matter, but now that we’ve established a cultivation family, we should still resemble a family to some extent.”

“After all, my original intention to establish the family was to provide a better environment for my children to grow up in and allow them to continue growing through the family.”

“It’s not about leaning on me alone to sustain the family and everyone in it.”

Lu Changsheng pondered in his heart.

He turned to Lu Quanzhen and said, “Your thoughts, your father has roughly understood, but such things can’t be accomplished all at once.”

“Your father has also discussed these matters with your mother and several of your aunts today…”

Lu Changsheng slowly conveyed his thoughts to Lu Quanzhen.

Since his son had ideas, he was willing to share more with him.

However, his own thoughts were still as Ling Zixiao had said, aiming for change through guidance.

After all, the family’s current situation hadn’t reached the point where it needed to rely wholly on clan rules as Lu Quanzhen had suggested.

After chatting with his son Lu Quanzhen, as the evening grew dark, Lu Changsheng took his children to the Lu Family Mansion for a meal.

As a cultivator, he naturally didn’t need to eat or drink, but occasionally he still indulged in satisfying his palate.

Moreover, cultivators eating Spirit Rice and spiritual meals also helped with their cultivation.

In the following days, Lu Changsheng had conversations with his children, showing concern for their situations and also preparing for the upcoming changes in the family’s system.

Half a month later, Lu Changsheng issued new family rules: all family disciples who reached the age of fourteen could apply to take part in family affairs.

If they hadn’t achieved the Forth Level Energy Refinement by the age of sixteen, they would be assigned by the family.

The family would calculate the next year’s salary and benefits annually based on cultivation progress, family contributions, and moral conduct.
