It is difficult to solve the problem, but it is easy to solve the person who raised the problem. After Liu Dan killed him, the opposition from the people suddenly disappeared.
As for the court, Liu Dan was as stable as Mount Tai. After all, he conquered the world to supply military supplies. Such an emperor was absolutely supported by the army. Liu Dan built palaces, but the military supplies did not stop. It was just an extra layer of tax. .
…
The blazing sun spreads infinite light and heat on the ground. There is not a cloud in the sky, not a trace of moisture in the air, and there is not a trace of green on the ground.
Countless hungry and ragged people walked slowly on the dry land, looking like zombies under the scorching sun.
Then countless voices rang in my mind: "If you can't live anymore, why don't you rebel?
Being a refugee means death, rebelling is also death, kill those corrupt officials who only know how to exploit!
There are countless grains in the treasury, and countless weapons in the counties.
Those who don’t want us to live, then don’t live at all!
Emperor Gao resisted the tyranny of Qin, and now we are resisting tyranny. Who can say that it is wrong?
Get up and move! "
Why not rebel?
Kill those exploitative corrupt officials!
This is not the instigation of one person, but the thoughts in the hearts of countless people. Most of these people walking slowly under the sun have blood on their hands.
A man stood on a high place, shouting loudly, and countless refugees gathered together. With a team, when the team got bigger, there were people to manage people, and then there were more and more people to manage people, and there were managers. Hierarchy, where the upper and lower classes are separated, a rebel army was born.
Taishan County!
This was once one of the gathering places of the Lu family. Later, except for the main branch, all of them were moved away. The princes in Taishan County were either eliminated or moved, and were completely transformed into counties under the control of the imperial court.
It is said that it is under the control of the imperial court, but it is not that simple. Mount Tai has always been a place full of thieves and bandits.
After the chaos gradually broke out in Guandong, the Qi land suddenly became chaotic, and then quickly headed towards the Bohai Sea and Luoyang in the north.
The number of refugees in Guandong is increasing day by day, but they are mainly in the Qingzhou Governor's Department and the Yanzhou Governor's Department.
The county guards, garrison princes, and princes and kings in the two states were greatly frightened and tried their best to suppress it. The refugees were naturally no match for them, but the Han Dynasty had strong military force, and many bankrupt small landowners among the refugees joined them. With their people, they The powerful people conquered some counties and even princely states!
Then he captured the most critical equipment - the armor!
A bankrupt small landowner and a bankrupt free farmer are completely different concepts!
Even if the free peasants become refugees, their fighting power is not strong, but the small landowners are trained by various families as regular soldiers. They are skilled in combat skills and strong. They can regain their fighting power after eating a few good meals. Once they are put on, Armor, even if the main soldiers of the Han army come, there will be no concessions.
Once a force has soldiers, it is no longer an ordinary peasant army.
…
Zhaocheng, Luogong.
Luo Wuji lay quietly on the bed, panting slightly. He had just had a dream, in which he and Huo Qubing worked together with sharp swords to kill a huge black wolf.
But even if the black wolf died, the blood that fell on the two of them was still bright and dazzling, and it could not be washed away at all. The heart was extremely shriveled but still had a little bit of life.
"Hun."
Luo Wuji gently touched the sacred mark between his eyebrows.
"Come in!"
Following Luo Wuji's voice, Luo Sheng and a dozen other people walked in from the outside, knelt down on the seat in front of Luo Wuji's bed, bowed and saluted, and said: "Father, the emperor killed the virtuous Fang Zhengshu who opposed the construction of the palace. Ten people, nearly five hundred people were exiled, and thousands were demoted. It seemed unstoppable.
well.
What you feared will eventually come true.
Victory blinded his vision. He never saw anyone who silently sacrificed everything for victory. This may be the fate of a monarch. Power will make people less human. "
The external victory of the Han Dynasty was an overall victory, which is the legendary saying that if I can defeat you, I will kill you, but if I cannot defeat you, I will wear you to death. It is not a loss if two people are exchanged for one. Anyway, our Han Dynasty has more people and more food.
In this case, the strategizing of the emperor and the generals has at most four successes, and the strong national power has six successes.
What is national power?
It is the population of the people, the food grown by the people, the weapons made by the people, and all the utensils made by the people.
It’s people, thousands of people!
Luo Wuji asked: "There must be a lot of refugees in Guandong."
Luo Sheng said in a deep voice: "I'm afraid it's no less than five hundred thousand. As you know, the family's business income has suddenly increased by more than five times in recent years!"
Luo Wuji nodded slightly. The sudden increase in Luo's business income was not due to the prosperity of business, but because the business of the Han Dynasty was about to be beaten to death by Liu Dan and Sang Hongyang.
Ninety percent of the world's merchants went bankrupt, causing a huge economic crisis. Handicraftsmen and farmers were in trouble.
Coupled with natural disasters, farmers will lose their land, and handicraftsmen will lose their livelihood if they cannot sell their goods. If they are exploited by subordinates at this time, there are only two ways to go, and they will become tenants of a wealthy family, that is, those who are not registered Hidden from the population, became a refugee, lit a spark, and vented his anger to the court.
Luo Sheng asked: "Father, what attitude does the family need to maintain in this chaos?"
Luo Wuji asked: "Who do you think the family should support?"
Luo Wuji's nephew Luo Feng said loudly: "Uncle, support the majority of people. From ancient times to the present, the family has always supported the majority of the people. This is the secret of the family's victory.
Because most people are the most powerful people!
The ancestors Wen Gong and Xuan Gong stood with the majority of the people in order to strengthen the state of Zhou Dynasty. They not only cooperated with the great nobles and great princes, but also restricted those great nobles and great princes. King Wen did the same, uniting the princes and princes. The small tycoons attacked the big tycoons and released a large amount of land to free farmers and small landowners, thus ushering in a prosperous age.
Now families should do the same. "
Luo Wuji smiled and said, "Who do you think is the majority and the most powerful person?"
Luo Feng's clear voice said: "Uncle, even if the sun is no longer eternal, even if Mount Tai becomes flat, even if the rivers dry up.
The majority and the most powerful people will never change, including the great aristocrats with revolutionary ideas, as well as the bottom businessmen, small landowners, craftsmen and the vast majority of free farmers!
As long as the family stands with these people, it will be invincible! "
Luo Wuji laughed loudly after hearing this, pointed at Luo Feng and smiled at everyone: "A Feng does not want to solve the problem of the Han Dynasty, but wants to directly solve the Han Dynasty and complete the change of dynasty."
Everyone was stunned for a moment and then thought about it, and suddenly became happy. It was really a complete method of changing dynasties. Luo Feng himself couldn't help but laugh.
Luo Wuji laughed twice, shook his head and said: "It is impossible to destroy the Han Dynasty. It cannot be done. The destiny of the Han Dynasty has not declined, and there will definitely be talented people who will rise up.
Besides, King Zhaosheng and King Luowen are still watching from the sky, and I have not forgotten Emperor Xiaowu’s instructions to me before his death.
Guarding the Han Dynasty and the country, and protecting the wings of the Emperor, this is my promise to Emperor Xiaowu. "
Luo Wuji's words silenced everyone for a moment, and they suddenly felt like they were in another world. It turned out that only a few decades had passed since the death of King Zhaosheng, and only a century had passed since the death of King Luowen.
"Ding-deng-deng!"
Suddenly, a burst of rapid footsteps came, and the visitor was allowed to walk into the house. Unexpectedly, there were so many direct relatives of the family here. He was stunned for a moment, then bowed and said urgently: "Master, the emperor has made a new decree." Mr. Thirteen said that this edict is of great importance and asked me to send it immediately."
Mr. Thirteen is one of Luo's think tanks. He has always been quick-witted, best at deductions, and knows people well. He is Luo's right-hand man.
Luo Wuji stretched out his hand to take it, unfolded it, and frowned immediately. This edict was a punishment for the governor and magistrate of Guandong who failed to suppress the refugees. The key is that the punishment was very severe. It no longer seemed like a punishment for dereliction of duty. It's more like rebellion, murder, and conspiracy.
He then read the comment written by Mr. Thirteen, "This edict is a chaos of fate. Guandong is like fire. This edict is like salary. If the salary is not exhausted, the fire will never be extinguished!"
Luo Wuji understood the meaning of Mr. Thirteen's words very well. Only by clear rewards and punishments can people's hearts be calmed. Rewards without punishment and punishment without rewards are not enough.
It's like a company's "Employee Reward and Punishment Regulations" became the "Employee Punishment Regulations". When something goes wrong, of course the first reaction is to cover up, just like what is the first reaction of a person when he makes a mistake?
A very small number of people may admit their mistake, but the first reaction of most people must be to quibble, and the second reaction is to blame!
Accountability is a very profound knowledge. It must have a supervisory role and a supervisory role, but it must also prevent people from being confrontational. Since ancient times, there have been very few people who can truly master it, and they are basically the most famous figures.
Liu Dan obviously didn't master the trick.
The emperor holds the power of life and death, but the brain that controls this power is often unclear, even stupid, or downright bad.
Hu Hai, the second emperor of Qin, thought that Shandong was just a minor trouble until his death. He never thought that it would be a major disaster that could overthrow the Qin Dynasty.
"Ding-deng-deng!"
Another sound of footsteps came, and a rather capable man walked in, clasped his fists and said: "The head of the family, Anyang Hou Hanlin, Lu Hou Lu Chan, please see me."
————
Autumn, the thirteenth year of Yuanzheng.
Bandits arose in Guandong and displaced hundreds of thousands of families. They destroyed counties and counties, attacked feudal states, and seized arsenals. They were almost unable to control them. They were angry and killed two thousand people. The county guards and others were killed. The edict said: "Those who fail to control the bandits will be killed." die!"
All the ministers and officials were in panic.
In the fourteenth year of Yuanzheng period, there was a severe drought.
There are many people living among the counties, and there are more and more bandits. The counties, the princes and the counties are isolated from each other, and it is impossible to do anything. The ministers and subordinates are afraid of the crime and say: "Don't sue, otherwise you will die. The three tribes will be exiled outside the territory."
Then he hid himself, with no relief. The power of Guandong was in full swing, and there was a danger of Qin's death and overthrow! ——"Historical Records·The Chronicles of Emperor Ruili"
