The Magistrate of Luming County. He became a scholar at the age of fourteen and was talented. His family held high hopes for him to ascend to the imperial court. However, Lu Shaozhi himself harbored no grand ambitions. He was intelligent enough to see the signs of Da Yin's impending collapse—natural disasters, unstable borders, and decadent gossip from the capital—and felt helpless to prevent it. He preferred to live out his days in the quiet town of Luming. He wore a Mili (veil) when visiting Shen Mingyuan. He was initially wary of Shen Mingyuan's connection to Prince Qi but was eventually moved by his sincere words and practical strategies for the county's drought crisis.
