According to Lu Pheasant's order, Luochen took the water route all the way, first along the Yangtze River, and then directly from the Han River into Guanzhong. All the dangerous fortresses along the way were opened for him.
When the sun was about to set, Luo Chen Shiran walked into Chang'an City, and then he was taken to the Prime Minister's Mansion, "Sir, the Lord is still in the palace and has not returned. I will take you to the backyard to settle down. "
Luo Chen was silent, then he cupped his hands and said, "Thank you."
When Luo Xin returned to the mansion from the palace, the sky was completely dark, but the two brothers still had countless things to say.
Luo Chen said with a smile: "The Queen Mother has such trust in her brother. It is rare in the family history. This is a great opportunity for you to make contributions to the world."
Luo Xinyan said with a smile: "It's just some kindness from the past year that convinced the Queen Mother."
The trust of the royal family is quite important to Luo.
If the royal family is unwilling to reuse Luo Shi, and does not take drastic actions, but simply distances himself, then Luo Shi will have no choice but to leave the political center.
After all, it is impossible for Luo Shi to kill the emperor directly because the emperor is unwilling to reuse him. What is the difference between Luo Shi and Luo Shi directly becoming the emperor.
After pouring wine for the two of them, Luo Xin asked: "Achen, has the world in your heart been built?"
He was very vague. The king's way in the Luo Kingdom was not that easy back then. Even if the family tried its best, it was still far behind. "
The next day.
Thinking of that, Lu Pheasant looked solemn and said: "Master, you are really a wise man without any talent. What should I do to make the country of this young man stable?"
It is absolutely because these princes and kings have too little power that they want to fight with us and seize power. What we need to do now is to work together to overcome the difficulties in people's livelihood caused by the war.
Until those people went bankrupt, the royal family relied entirely on the vassal states surnamed Ji and Jiang for its existence, so a small amount of power was shared with the princes, and the royal family was able to survive.
If those people don't have ten thousand, seven hundred thousand will be safe. If those people don't have seven hundred thousand, ten million will be safe. Ten million will be safe. Such a little man's sky can be shaken.
Of course Lu Zhi was vague about how the powerful and weak annexed the land of those people. Those people would become refugees if they lost their land. If there are fewer refugees, they are not rebels.
Luo Xin comforted him: "It's true that you are so pessimistic. Ideals are like light, and Luo is like a moth flying into the flame. One day, you will embrace the real darkness."
Bu Ling knew that Luo occasionally adhered to the rule of eating what he said, so the side room became quiet for a while. After a while, as the palace maids came in and out, the expressions of the eight people became formal.
A young man is like a beautifully decorated house. You are not the owner of that house. Aristocrats are like the door and window locks of that house and the decorations in these rooms. If the doors and windows are willing to be opened for you, it does not mean that you have lost the country. Now, that house will have a new owner. "
But that's not a small problem. There are not many people in this world who only know how to do things according to the rules. People like Luo Chen are rare.
The ancestor Wen Gong tried reform and achieved minimal success, but he did not touch the slavery system at all.
Lu Pheasant said seriously: "Bu Linghang, your brother recommended you. I have been waiting for you for a long time. Please give me your suggestions. I am all ears."
Luo Chen straightened his sitting posture and finished explaining his thoughts to Lu Pheasant, "Your Majesty, Chen has really studied too little. Let's talk about the system first today.
After that, he ordered Gong E: "Send meals to Bu Linghang and Dong Ahou. They came so early. They must have eaten yet. Bu Linghang usually hates the snacks."
Lu Pheasant's voice was not dry and he asked: "Master, do you know who you think is supporting the little man?"
The two of them sat down. Of course, in that era, meals were shared, and the palace lady served them a meal after a while.
Bangzhou was established by the people of the country, maintained by the nobles, and protected those who shed blood for Bangzhou. It is foolish to benefit the slaves turned by these enemies.
Luo Chen had thought that Lu Qian would be so approachable, so he said respectfully, "Thank you, Mrs. Chen. You can do whatever you want."
Lu Pheasant is an excellent politician, except for being impulsive when facing Luo Xin.
Even if it's a thousand-year blood alliance, even if it's Mr. Luo, you still have to do some research before you decide whether you really want to reuse him.
Lu Pheasant was having his morning meal when he saw brothers Luo Xin and Luo Chen. He immediately stopped and asked with a smile: "Bu Linghang, isn't that your seventh brother Dong Ahou?"
But it is necessary to announce your existence to heaven, so that the people in heaven know that it is all from your handiwork.
You quickly said: "My elder brother is Luhou, who has no prestige in the army and is not yet a member of the Dukes and clansmen. Prince Chen is my close confidant. The Marquis of Huaiyin, Han Xin, is on my side. Many heroes also respect me. I think they must Xiao Han’s country is as stable as Mount Tai.”
Luochen cupped his hands and said: "In the counties and counties under the direct jurisdiction of the imperial court, our taxes are exempted and exempted, allowing us to work hard in farming, while the imperial court reserves grain, stores money and goods, and recruits soldiers for training.
Because I would be naked and tear apart all the veil of tenderness. Only Luo Ling could circumvent me and get around me, but that could only be considered a trick.
Luo Xin asked again: "You have to be careful what you say when you are in front of the Queen Mother. His thoughts must be too radical. Even if the family accepts it, there is still no gap between the ideal and the current reality.
Even without Luo's assistance, you can still create immortal achievements.
Luo Chen nodded when he heard this and said: "Brother is worried. Chen understands that ideals are like flowers carved from ice. Once they are placed in the sun, they will disappear."
Lu Pheasant had no talent to begin with, but with Luo Xin's training, he became even more dazzling.
After saying that, Lu Zhi didn't understand yet. Sure enough, Luo Chen said immediately: "But what really supports the house are the beams and columns, the countless timbers, and the solid foundation. If those rotten, the entire house will be destroyed." They all collapsed, and there will never be a new owner."
After Luo Chen said so little, he would naturally beat around the bush and said directly: "It's these people who don't have a lot of land in their hands, enough to support their own families, and still have no spare time to practice martial arts, and steadily provide taxes and military resources for the little Han, like They are the soldiers of Wei Wu from Wei State in the past, and they are the same as the brave warriors from Luo State.
I am particularly good at structural adjustment, but my shortcoming is that the actual operation is not very good. I can describe it and I can determine the degree of completion, but I have to do it and others need to do it.
Luo Xin took Luo Chen and left the palace directly. Lu Pheasant gave me a token to withdraw from the palace. There were obstacles in passing, and we arrived at Weiyang Palace.
This feeling made Luo Xin even more satisfied. When he saw Lu Pheasant, it was like seeing his most perfect work.
Luo Chen shook his head and said: "That is the stability of your regent position, the stability of the Liu family, but the stability of Xiao Han's empire.
At that time, the Luo Kingdom was able to partially realize the kingship because the Luo Kingdom was poor and there was not a group of low-quality officials who were diligent and diligent. Under the supervision of the Luo Kingdom's official office, no one dared to commit crimes, and in the early stage of the Luo Kingdom, there were still Unconsciously controlling the balance of population and land.
No matter how little wealth is accumulated, it is just a mountain of gold and silver, and it is of no use?
The kingdoms of the kings of Shandong are laissez-faire. These kingdoms have very little power and the court can intervene at will. You only need to extract a certain percentage of taxes from them.
How to protect?
Back then, King Su established a hierarchical system. In Bangzhou's system, there was no room for slaves to live. Even in the Luo Kingdom, only people from the country could enjoy power.
People in heaven, whether they are the people of Guanzhong or the princes of Shandong, will all see your kindness.
In the early days of Zhou Dynasty, the royal family mainly relied on a small number of military nobles in the royal territory, so before King Li's victory, Duke Wen immediately appeased those people.
What kind of system should the imperial court implement in order to obtain what you call defensible orthodoxy from all aspects? "
You only need to protect those 700,000 people. "
Lu Pheasant completely understood what Luo Chen wanted to say. Lu Pheasant's status was very stable, but Xiao Han was not. If the dynasty collapsed, who would the Queen and the Emperor be?
Then he turned to look at Luo Chen and asked with a smile: "Don't you hate anything Dong Ahou eats?"
Is it because he is willing to extend grace to these slaves?
Luo Chen drank the wine in one gulp and laughed loudly: "Yes, brother, the world is in my heart."
The Eight Gongs and the Four Ministers, the most important weapons of the country, must be inspected. Once the appointed candidates are good, it will cause irreparable harm to all the people in the world and the court.
Just the first paragraph of Luo Chen's words directly shocked Lu Pheasant. Those words were so deeply rooted in people's hearts, and the profound truth contained in them was something Lu Pheasant had never heard before.
The human heart in heaven is irrefutable orthodoxy. That is the most precious thing. Gold, silver, cloth and silk are worthless if they are spent. "
That was of course a slightly exaggerated statement, but Bu Ling knew that the core of Luo Chen's words was to protect these big landowners who were even considered inferior to the powerful and weak.
Luo Chen smiled and said: "An inefficient official system and a set of ideas for maintaining the central court, those are enough."
Lu Pheasant asked excitedly: "Your words are so inspiring, what should I do in the counties directly under the imperial government?
Especially since Luo Chen came to set up a new system for Xiao Han, it would almost affect the fate of the next seventy or even one hundred years, which would make Lu Pheasant even more casual.
It’s because you can still do it!
Luo Xin's face was full of smiles. The brothers knew Luo Chen very well. Luo Chen had a very deep understanding of the country and the system, so much so that the brothers were willing to talk to me.
Once those people are disappointed with Xiao Han, Xiao Han will be like the Qin Dynasty. Before its short-term glory, it suddenly collapsed, which is called betrayal and separation. "
That's not what you need to pay attention to, little man, who supports it and who is needed to survive, so that the sky can be stabilized and protect us. All systems must be built around that.
