The traces of dare warriors are too obvious, especially if they are not covered up at all.
In the Han Dynasty, tiger talisman was required for mobilizing an army of more than fifty people, except for the private armies of princes and princes. However, private armies were not allowed to leave the prince's country except to accompany the lord during war.
So in essence, private armies still need the emperor's order to appear on the land of the Han Dynasty.
Dare warriors are the only legal private army that can appear anywhere in the Han Dynasty.
Of course, dare warriors also have restrictions. For example, they are not allowed to wear armor when entering Guanzhong. For example, entering Chang'an and surrounding counties must be reported every five miles, and they must be accompanied by court officials to supervise the warriors' armor. In addition to swords, horses, bows, and crossbows All powerful weapons cannot be carried.
Without armor, horses and crossbows, not to mention that dare warriors are mortal bodies after all, even if they are spiritual soldiers, their combat strength will be reduced by 80%.
Therefore, Luo Shi was unwilling to bring brave warriors into Chang'an unless necessary.
Although there are many restrictions in Chang'an, in Guandong, there are no restrictions on brave warriors. Full armor, horses, bows and crossbows, one person and three horses, look very ostentatious to outsiders.
Luo Sheng left Guanzhong and went straight to Nanyang County, which was one of the most important counties in the imperial court.
In the Han Dynasty, except for the counties in Guanzhong, the political status of the counties in Guandong was completely different. It was mainly divided into political status and economic status. The source of these statuses was mainly the geographical location of the county.
For example, the counties in Lingnan and the counties in Liaodong were both marginal interest areas that the Han court could abandon at any time. The geographical location of Nanyang County in the Central Plains was really too important.
It connects the north and the south and is one of the most important fulcrums of the north-south defense line.
If you occupy Nanyang, you can threaten Guanzhong and Luoyang, cut off the east and west, and cross the north and the south. Emperor Gao occupied Nanyang and then broke into Guanzhong and achieved great success.
Since Emperor Gao, this place has been managed by the royal family. Later, it felt that it could not be managed. After all, Nanyang County was outside the customs, so they began to enfeoff the princes and kings. However, the princes and kings were also worried, so they kept changing kings. The princes and kings of the country were moved to Nanyang County.
This resulted in Nanyang County being the county with the most Liu clan among the dozens or hundreds of counties in the Han Dynasty, and the genealogy was very complicated.
There are brothers and nephews of Liu Bang, brothers and nephews of Emperor Xiaohui, not to mention Emperor Xiaowen and Emperor Xiaowu. These two emperors have many sons, and of course some of them live in Nanyang County.
The advantage of this is that if a single Liu clan occupies Nanyang County, the emperor may not be at ease, but with so many Liu clans in Nanyang County, and they are not convinced by each other, the emperor will be beaten out of their wits. It is as stable as Mount Tai, and the Liu clan is guarding Nanyang County, so it is still a good shield.
The disadvantages are obvious. There are too many royal nobles, and even the county guards have to act based on their faces. As soon as Sang Hongyang's tax collection method came out, the officials of Nanyang County became anxious, and he did not dare to touch those big businessmen at all.
If there are one or two royal nobles, the two thousand stone county guard will naturally not be afraid. After all, those who can sit in this position have their own factions and forces.
But to offend a group of royal nobles in order to collect taxes, only the most idealistic and unafraid of power would dare to do so. Even the most stubborn Meng Ru, not everyone dared to do that.
The Nanyang County Sheriff was obviously not someone who was not afraid of power, so he chose to use people like Wang San to fill the hole.
Nanyang County is one of the wealthiest counties. Relying on small and medium-sized merchants like Wang San is enough to deliver a satisfactory answer.
But what he didn't expect was that Young Master Sheng actually came to the county!
…
Luo Sheng checked things very quickly. After confirming the facts, he quickly met the Nanyang County Sheriff, an official of the imperial court with two thousand dan, at the county seat of Wancheng County.
This was a middle-aged man with an upright face and a dignified appearance. Even though he was afraid of Luo Sheng, he still forcibly controlled his expression.
"The foreign minister has met Mr. Sheng."
Lou Huai, the governor of Nanyang County, bowed and then asked directly: "Young master has come to Nanyang County grandly, but is there any big event?"
Luo Sheng heard this and said coldly: "Don't Governor Lou know why I came here?
What you did in Nanyang County, do you think you can hide it from the world? "
The pupils in Lou Huai's eyes shrank, knowing that what he was most worried about had indeed happened, but his reaction was beyond Luo Sheng's expectation. He did not kneel down and beg for mercy, but asked instead, "Master Sheng, what does this have to do with you?" What to do?"
Luo Sheng was stunned, what does it have to do with me?
Lou Huai asked with confusion on his face: "If the foreign minister remembers correctly, this is the internal affairs of our great Han Dynasty. You are just a young man from a foreign vassal country. What qualifications and position do you have to question a two thousand stone minister of a suzerain country about internal affairs?" What's the problem?
The generals go to fight, the governors govern, the princes of the inner vassal guard the world, and the princes of the outer vassal protect the emperor. Now you are overstepping your bounds and taking charge of the government affairs of Nanyang County. Is this appropriate? "
His words immediately stunned Luo Sheng. He put away his previous thoughts and took a serious look at the county guard in front of him for the first time.
Luo Sheng said in a deep voice: "When there is injustice in the world, even an ordinary man can draw his sword and rise up."
Lou Huai laughed when he heard this and said: "In that case, the young master can send brave warriors to attack. I am the governor of the Han Dynasty and have the power to mobilize all military and political affairs in Nanyang County. Anyone who draws a sword is a rioter and can be killed."
Luo Sheng looked at Lou Huai, and then said, "You are very unusual. Is this the madness before death?"
Hearing Luo Sheng's words, Lou Huai trembled and forced himself to smile: "It's just some thoughts that have been buried for a long time. I am a worm of a man, but I was not born like this. I was once a young man full of ideals. .”
After saying that, he didn't care about Luo Sheng and continued on by himself, "Master Sheng, if King Luo Wen were standing here, I would never say these words.
King Luo Wen worked hard and did his best for the world. Even a person like me would not dare to speak rudely to King Luo Wen.
But since the death of King Luo Wen, everyone in the world has been able to see that the Luo family actually stayed out of the affairs of the Han Dynasty.
Whether you are Dong Ahou, the contemporary Duke Zhao, or the current Protector-General, you do not regard yourselves as Han people.
In this case, why do you still appear in Dahan?
What does the rise and fall of the Han Dynasty have to do with your family?
Isn't it enough to stay in Zhaocheng and enjoy all the glory and wealth?
What does the people of the Han Dynasty have to do with you? The affairs of the Han Dynasty will naturally be handled by the Han Dynasty.
Even if it was for Zhu Xia's plan, would Duke Zhao still want to arbitrarily interfere in the internal affairs of Zhu Xia countries?
The Luo Kingdom in the past was not so domineering. "
Luo Sheng's face changed greatly after these words. He stood up and said: "How ridiculous this is. All the Xia are united into one, and the great man is the foundation of the world..."
Lou Huai said anxiously: "Is there such a thing as having the best of both worlds in this world?
Even if I am a great harm to the big man, can you, Master Sheng, stay out of it?
In the past, Luo Shi was the leader of Zhou Dynasty, and he did his best to assist the Zhou royal family and maintain the destiny of Zhou Dynasty. Although people in the world thought it was stupid, they admired him extremely.
Now, even though Mr. Luo is bent on plotting against Zhu Xia, please open your eyes and see that, Zhu Xia above, 99% of the world is Han.
Luo Shi was not willing to do his best for Da Han, but he interfered in everything. When Da Han was first established, nothing might have happened, but a hundred years after Da Han was established, Luo Shi suddenly appeared, hey, where did this come from? "
gap!
Luo Sheng wanted to say that these were all crooked ways, but these words made so much sense. There was no such thing as having both sides.
Luo Shi must either integrate into it or stay out. Otherwise, as time goes by, the Han people will gradually condense into a community and more and more people will reject Luo Shi.
The Chu and Luo people who migrated to Guanzhong in the past are now indistinguishable from the original Qin people.
Because of the barriers, because of the unfamiliarity, because the differences are too big, there will be no empathy. However, the only advantage the Zhuxia countries have is their common belief, which ensures that the country will not be divided.
However, the gap between regions is still serious, let alone between countries.
Living in Zhaocheng and controlling the world, this is the strategy set after turning the country into a home.
It was implemented very well during the Luoling period, which was the honeymoon period between the Luo family and the Han Dynasty. However, the family heads after Luoling were not very good at politics and implemented this policy somewhat mechanically.
The Luo family gradually moved away from the political arena of the Han Dynasty, and at the same time, they stayed away from the people of the Han Dynasty. Zhaocheng became more and more like a foreign vassal.
Until today, the county guard actually said to his face, "What does the matter of the Han Dynasty have to do with you?"
This is an extremely dangerous political signal!
This means that a kind of thought begins to flow at the upper level. This is definitely not the idea of one family.
Luo Sheng tried his best to recall the attitudes and words of Anyang Hou and others when they came to Zhaocheng, and then discovered a terrifying thing.
Marquis Anyang changed from hoping that Luo would take action, to hoping that Luo could assist him, and then to asking Luo for his opinion, hoping that Luo could give suggestions.
Luo Sheng couldn't sit still for a while. He never expected that tax issues would interfere with such an important matter for the family.
It was also the first time for Luo to enter the political system of the Han Dynasty since the Zhou Dynasty. There was no precedent to follow. This unfamiliarity still gave Luo a blow.
Lou Huai looked at Young Master Sheng who was sitting uneasily, and then said: "Young Master Sheng, I am also waiting for death anyway. People often say that when people are about to die, their words are also good. I still have some words to hold back. I’ve been thinking about it for a long time, do you want to listen?”
Luo Sheng's eyes were cold and piercing, then he slowly closed them up, looked at the county guard in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "Go on, I'm a little curious if there is anything else to say."
Lou Huai's eyes were a little misty and he said softly: "Zhaocheng is the holy land in the hearts of everyone in Zhuxia, but it is not presided over by the emperor, and even the Luo family is not of the same mind as the emperor.
Ah.
Too many people are unhappy. "
