Tian Feng's question made Zhuge Jin unable to answer. Speaking of which, Liu Bei's territory is not small now. It stretches from Jingnan to Hanoi for more than 3,000 miles. With such a large territory, is the army really enough? Is the talent to govern? Is it even more enough to go to war with Cao Cao? Can it resist the possible joint situation of the princes around him?

The more I thought about it, the more I felt that Zhuge Jin felt unsure, and the more I felt that Liu Bei was not ready.

"What Lord Tian said is very much. Our Lord is indeed not ready to go to war with Cao Cao in full."

"Since that's the case, I can only settle for the second best?"

"That's true. If possible, our two sides can cooperate to block Cao Cao, restrict and interfere with him economically, erode and consume him militarily, and even unite more princes, including Yuan Shao and Sun Ce, as well as the Yiren forces to isolate Cao Cao and prevent his power from expanding."

Tian Feng smiled. This kind of thing was Liu Bei's wishful thinking. If Cao Cao really fell, it would be cheaper for Liu Bei. Although Youzhou did not want Cao Cao to become bigger, he also did not want Liu Bei to become bigger.

"This can be considered, but a comprehensive economic blockade will affect the interests of Youzhou. It is better to only maintain this blockade at the level of strategic materials."

Zhuge Jin glanced at Fang Zhiwen. Fang Zhiwen just listened carefully and had no intention of expressing his opinion. Zhuge Jin understood that these people in Youzhou are not fools, on the contrary. These people are smarter than the other. It is obviously inappropriate for them to let the other party follow their own ideas. They can only find the basis for cooperation based on the common interests of both parties.

"It's good that this is the case, at least everyone in the world can see Cao Cao's true face!"

"Haha, that's true!" Tian Feng agreed with a smile. There is no problem with standing with Liu Bei morally, and it is even more necessary to put pressure on Cao Cao politically. Moderate economic control and necessary military suppression are carried out. This is Youzhou's attitude towards Cao Cao.

Zhuge Jin's goal can be said to have been partially achieved. The most important thing is that in moral terms, Liu Bei and Fang Zhiwen stood together to fight Cao Cao. This is Zhuge Jin's greatest success. In this way, Liu Bei's plan to join forces with Zongheng was basically half successful. With the appeal of Youzhou, Yuan Shao and others will definitely participate. The only troublesome thing is Han Sui, and this guy must pay attention to it.

After the business was done, Zhuge Jin declined Tian Feng's banquet and hurried to visit his uncle Zhuge Xuan's house. After all, he was already very rude. It could be said that he was because he was doing business and did not dare to favor personal gains. Now that the business was done, Zhuge Jin had no reason to delay his gratitude to his uncle.

When Zhuge Xuan was coming home from get off work, Zhuge Jin paid a visit to Zhuge Xuan for his grand ceremony. He first apologized to Zhuge Xuan, and then thanked Zhuge Xuan for his care for his younger brother.

Zhuge Xuan was very enlightened and did not blame Zhuge Jin at all. Instead, he praised Zhuge Jin for his clear public and private affairs, and then blamed Zhuge Jin for being too polite.

"Liang'er, Jun'er are all my sons and nephews, and it is natural to take care of them. If Ziyu said so, where would he place his uncle?"

"What my uncle taught me is that my nephew's words are all inappropriate."

"Forget it, let's not talk about this, the family has finally reunited, and we will have to celebrate it tonight."

"It's just that. My nephew heard that his uncle had already become an official in Youzhou and had not yet congratulated him!"

"It's nothing, I'm just a minor official, I can't compare with Ziyu!"

"Why did my uncle say this? Youzhou is vast and rich in resources, with a lot of talents, and a clear political understanding. My uncle was able to serve as the director of the Department of Justice in Miyun City in Miyun, and his nephew took advantage of the tricks and saw that Lord Liu lacked talents, it was just a lucky opportunity to enter, and it could not be compared."

"Hehe Ziyu is too humble. If you don't talk about this, it is the greatest blessing for the family to get together."

Zhuge Xuan was in a good mood and held a family dinner that night and left with all his fun.

Zhuge Jin took his younger brother back to his lower place. He took turns to take the exams of his two younger brothers' knowledge. It can be seen that both younger brothers worked very hard, but their thoughts have begun to be different from Zhuge Jin, which is obviously related to the educational methods of Xilin Academy.

Zhuge Jin is not good at evaluating whether this is good or bad, or whether it is good or bad. Xilin's academic style is open and encourages students to question authority and boldly innovate. This is certainly good, but if the innovation is too much, it is called ignorance. If the doubt is too much, it is called arrogant and arrogant.

Everything must have a degree. Zhuge Jin carefully reminded his brother that he must grasp this degree well so that he will not go on a evil path.

"Brother, many teachers have said this. It has been a big problem throughout the ages. It is said that one should be focused. But I will definitely pay attention to it. And the teacher is watching. Brother, please rest assured!"

"That's right, brother, don't worry, my uncle is very strict in discipline!"

"Haha" Zhuge Jin touched Zhuge Jun's head and said with a smile: "Uncle is for your own good, so you can't arrange your uncle behind your back."

"No, I respect my uncle very much. My uncle is so amazing. I have seen my uncle trial!"

"Of course, my uncle is both talented and virtuous, so he is naturally powerful and will definitely rise to the top in the future."

Zhuge Liang glanced at Zhuge Jin and said, "Brother, will we stay in Youzhou in the future?"

Zhuge Jin looked at his smart brother with a deep meaning, and asked with a smile: "What do Xiaoliang thinks?"

"Brother, my second brother will naturally stay in Youzhou. I have so many friends here. Also, Sister A Chou is here, where can I go!"

"Haha Xiaojun is so smart! Xiaoliang"

"This has nothing to do with whether I stayed in Youzhou. Xiaojun should not talk nonsense. My eldest brother said that we should work hard for the revitalization of the Zhuge family, and you have forgotten."

Zhuge Jun lowered his head and bit his lip aggrievedly. Zhuge Jin felt a little reluctant, but he just sighed slightly and said nothing.

"Brother. If we start from this and revitalize the Zhuge family, can we achieve it as long as we can stand out, gain fame, wealth, power and wealth? Or should we become a sect like Mr. Kangcheng and Master Lin?"

"Xiaoliang, you are a smart person. You should know that for a family, there are two elements that are the key to continuation, one is talent and the other is money. With talent, it is not so difficult to obtain power. With money, you can cope with various changes. It is just."

"Is the situation in Youzhou a little different? The Youzhou system effectively protects the basic power of survival. What remains is a competition of individual wise and foolish abilities, or a competition of personal connections, etc. The continuation of the family should be more inclined to the cultivation of talents, right?"

"But it is not difficult to cultivate talents in Youzhou. Children from poor families can also receive a complete education." Zhuge Jin continued.

From survival continuation to education and becoming a talented person, the Youzhou system seems to ensure very basic fairness, but at the same time, it gradually disintegrated the concept of a large family. If there are no survival problems and education problems, what else can the family use to attract the gathering of tribesmen? The family's cohesion is greatly reduced. This may be a goal of the Youzhou system. Destroy clan power.

"Master Lin said that this system is to destroy the accumulation of clan forces. Too large clan forces and occupying too many resources is the root of social instability. Whether a family is excellent should be reflected in the cultivation of talents, rather than the resources occupied. Of course, it cannot be denied that occupying certain resources is necessary."

Although Zhuge Jun could say this, he might not fully understand the power of this sentence, but Zhuge Jin and Zhuge Liang understood it.

Zhuge Jin's face tightened. This is the power of theory! Youzhou has already occupied a higher level of wèizhi in theory, pointing out a reasonable development path for the grassroots of the gentry, the social elite, and clearly pointing out the symbiotic characteristics of the social structure, acknowledging the class gap and also acknowledging the necessity of rise and fall. This understanding is obviously more advanced than the traditional Confucian and Taoist social views.

"Brother, this is the foundation of my decision to stay in Youzhou. The Zhuge family has the least risk of continuing under this structure. Although the opportunity for growth is not the greatest, it is the most suitable place in total. What do you think?"

Zhuge Jin sighed: "Yes, in other places, you may reach the peak by your own strength, but the risk is great enough to destroy the family and destroy the clan. Relatively speaking, Youzhou has the best comprehensiveness, but second brother, you are the most talented among the three of us brothers. In other places, you may reach the peak. In Youzhou, not only can you fill the palace hall, but you will also be full of talents, second brother."

"Brother, I have confidence! The more this happens, the more challenging it is!"

Zhuge Jin looked at Zhuge Liang deeply, nodded and said, "Since Xiaoliang is confident, he will naturally support his brother. Xiaoliang is talented and can definitely shine the lintel for the Zhuge family!"

"That's right, my second brother is so amazing, and Master Lin often praises him!"

"Is that true!"

"Brother, don't listen to his nonsense. Master Lin often praises Lu Xun, A Chou, and Cai Yan."

"Haha, so what? My brother is no worse than others." Zhuge Jin said with a smile, but he couldn't help but feel a little surprised. There are many talents in the Xilin Academy, which is not a good thing for Liu Bei!

"Brother, I will stay in Youzhou in the future, but I think I want to go to business, is that okay?"

"Entering business!" Zhuge Jin looked at Zhuge Jun in surprise: "How come you have this idea?"

"Didn't you say that talent and money, I want to make money for the Zhuge family!"

"Let's talk about it when you grow up!"

Zhuge Jin responded helplessly and said, but Zhuge Liang blinked his eyes and quietly raised the corners of his mouth. In Zhuge Liang's heart, he never looked down on businessmen. However, the group of merchants is profit-oriented and will inevitably be criticized. Zhuge Liang is willing to despise himself as a family, so Zhuge Liang still supports it.
