Historical records
Dealing with official affairs

His words were impassioned, and his concern for the country and the people was expressed. Shu zhongyun said: "today's poor people know it. Since the 10th year of Wanli (1582), there has been no year without disaster. For a long time, I was a foreign official. Seeing that his Majesty's son had no clothes and no food, he left his walls to be covered with fury and took up the gaol. He moved to the public and abandoned the land. He left the food for the loser and the living for the dead. Who can appeal to the emperor for thousands of miles? We can see that the country is running out of money. Over the past few years, the cost of Shougong, weaving, Ningxia, the collapse of the Yellow River, and today's large-scale engineering and wood mining have been several million each. " Lu Kun said in his book that "picking wood" means "picking wood". Zhangba is not a hundred year old thing. If there is any danger in the poor mountains, they will die. The people of Shu said, "if you enter the mountain for 1000, if you leave the mountain for 500, you can tell from your sorrow." Lu Kun said about mining in Shuzhong: "the imperial court gets a gold medal, and the county costs a thousand times." Shuzhong also issued a warning to the imperial court that "treacherous officials are in charge of the way, and those who do not offend the court will soon worry about the future.". On the border defense, Lu Kun also had a long-term vision and put forward: "if the Japanese and the barbarians take it, they will serve as soldiers and feed on the spot. If they enter, they will cut off our water transportation, and if they retreat, they will see Liaodong.". Less than a year later, the capital is in trouble, and the country is worried. " In the book, he also mentioned the problem of "copying can't be heavy, and many people are involved in it". The house is sealed, and most of the chickens and porpoises starve to death. Once people go out, they dare not hide. In addition, the law of officials was strict, the soldiers searched hard, and young women were asked to undress. I've seen it before, covering my eyes and sour nose. " Lu Kun severely criticized Emperor Wanli in his book: "Your Majesty does not look at the court for a long time, his heart is lax and his evil spirit has been watching deeply. The guard should not tell the story." If you don't answer the Zhangzuo, you won't have it first. " "Your Majesty I don't know that there is only such a number of wealth in the world. If you want to be rich, you will be poor. If you are poor, you will be rich? Today's people's livelihood is extremely haggard, but the purchase is increasing day by day, the demand for benefits is wide, the resentment of all surnames is gathered in one word, the nine fold hatred is formed in all over the world, and the officials are in pain of stealing I'm afraid I will never see peace again.
Lu Kun angrily called himself ill and begged for leave, ending his 26 year official career. After Lu Kun retired, he was called "master shasui" by scholars. "The works are full of new ideas." Groans, written in 1593, is a Book of quotations written by Lu Kun in 30 years.

Character story
Ancestors save Zhu Yuanzhang
Many people know that LV Kun, a native of Ningling in the Ming Dynasty, was a thinker, educator and writer. Many people also know that his book "groans" has been translated and published in more than 20 countries. Many people also know that LV Kun's tomb has become an important part of Shangqiu's cultural relics and tourism.
However, many people may not know that Lu Kun's ancestors saved Zhu Yuanzhang from danger and fought with him; many people may not know that Lu Kun's name was "Li Kun" in those days, and this surname was due to Zhu Yuanzhang, the emperor of Ming Dynasty; many people may not know that Lu Kun's Shi Zheng Lu was valued by the emperor of Tongzhi and became a necessary book for cabinet ministers.
There are many articles on Lu Kun's thoughts and academic works at home and abroad. However, there are few regional history articles about Lu Kun's family background, life and the close relationship between Lu Kun and his hometown of Shangqiu.
Therefore, after more than a month of investigation and interview, consulting ancient books, local chronicles and genealogy, the author sorted out a lot of valuable clues, information and historical materials. After sorting out, the author wrote several articles, such as the world situation between Ming Taizu and LV Kun ' More three-dimensional, fuller, more cordial and more simple "famous Confucianists in the Central Plains", "a generation of incorruptible officials" and "great thinkers".
Giving the surname of Li by mistake
HEIs, the sixth ancestor of Lu Kun, helped Zhu Yuanzhang and was mistakenly given the surname of Li.
Lu Kun entered the palace examination in the second year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty (1574) after he was elected to the imperial examination. He was given the title of Jinshi in the 50th place of the top three. He was 39 years old at that time. However, his name recorded on the inscriptions of Jinshi is "Li Kun" (index of inscriptions of Jinshi in Ming and Qing Dynasties), not "Lu Kun". Why? It starts from the relationship between Lu HEIs, the sixth ancestor of Lu Kun, and Zhu Yuanzhang, the emperor of Ming Dynasty.
Lu Kun's ancestor was the principal household in Xin'an County, Luoyang, Henan Province before the Yuan Dynasty. "The old surname of the Yu family was Lu, and the principal household in Luoyang before the Yuan Dynasty was also Lu Kun's stele of the surname Lu Li.". According to Lu Mingyue's "Lu Shi"
