Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 1304 Dragon Brother Tiger Brother
Back in the city, the third son inherits the business, the fourth son Cunxiao, the elder brother succeeds the ancestor, the second elder brother Chengzong, and uncles Luo Yi and Luo Shou also arrive together.

Standing in front of the city gate, Luo Chengdao said, "I think this Bo city can be renamed Tai'an."

"When Mount Tai is safe, the whole world is safe, and the country is peaceful and the people are safe. It is a good name bestowed by the sages."

Luo Cheng patted the third child on the shoulder, "How about you and the fourth child go to Zhangqiu's hometown first?"

After Luo Cheng proclaimed himself emperor, he naturally attached great importance to Zhangqiu's hometown. He broke the rules and set his hometown as Chengtian Mansion, one of the six capitals of the Great Qin Dynasty. A brand new Chengtian City was established.

"I can't even recognize the change. It's completely changed. It's changed for the better and richer. The mountains and rivers are green and the towns are prosperous." Siye replied with a smile. He came to Mount Tai from Yili. After coming, I went to Zhangqiu's hometown first.When I got there, I really felt like I didn't know each other, and it completely changed.

"It's normal to change. I think some of my great Qin relatives are from Qi County and Zhangqiu. This is the land of Longxing, and it is also the city of generals."

At that time Zhangqiu was only one of the ten counties in Qi County, very common, even a relatively backward county in Qi County.But in just ten years, because an emperor came out here, the place has completely changed now.Not only did an emperor emerge from the foot of Changbai Mountain, but also a large number of founding heroes.

The emperor set his hometown as Chengtian Mansion, one of the six capitals, and built Chengtian City.And those meritorious officials and relatives from Qi County and Zhangqiu also overhauled their mansions and villas in their hometowns and established manors.As for the city roads, let alone these things, not to mention the places where thieves and bandits used to hide in Changbai Mountain, now there are manor villas everywhere.

The fourth child, Cunxiao, also sighed, "At the beginning Zhangqiu was a mountainous area and relatively poor, but now the people's lives are much better. There is not a single beggar to be found, nor a shabby house to be found. Everyone has land to cultivate. Every family has a house to live in."

Luo Cheng smiled.

After Qi County was changed to Chengtian Mansion, Zhangqiu County, as the government of Chengtian Mansion, was also promoted to Jing County, and the county magistrate was directly ranked fifth.Since the founding of the country, several county magistrates in Zhangqiu have been selected by the court as capable officials, and they are all heroes of Zhangqiu, so they are very concerned about the development of Zhangqiu.

The imperial court and the emperor's internal treasury have to withdraw a large amount of money to Chengtian Mansion and Zhangqiu County every year, and the development of money will naturally be fast.

Siye walked beside Luo Cheng, and said directly, "I also discovered some problems in Zhangqiu. There are too many property purchases by meritorious officials and relatives. They build villas and manors, buy fields and land. To ensure that the people can have enough land, but the meritorious officials and relatives are high-ranking officials, and the amount of land they own is also high."

Luo Cheng nodded.

"I also understand those fellow countrymen. Wealth and honor do not return to their hometowns. It's like walking in brocade clothes at night. When I become emperor, I also want to upgrade my hometown to Chengtian Mansion. Other brothers, of course, also want to build luxury villas and ancestral halls in their hometown. It is understandable to rebuild the ancestral grave. However, the imperial court will pay attention to the matter of enclosing land and occupying land. Zhangqiu and I are the hometown of these old brothers, but we can’t end it, and the people in our hometown will scold behind our backs. We Zhangqiu In mountainous areas, there are more mountains and less land, so the fields are more precious, and those of us who have made a name for themselves cannot occupy the few fields of the villagers."

Cun Xiao then said, "The sage said so, it's not good for me to go home and build a manor. Originally, I planned to build a big manor at the foot of Changbai Mountain, build a garden, and set up some farms, so that I can go home and live in it when I have time." You can stay here, especially when you worship ancestors during the Qingming Festival."

"It's no problem if you want to build a garden at home. As long as you don't occupy farmland and forest land, you can find a barren hill and level it up, and you can also build a manor. Just build a farm on mu of land. Anyway, you have a fief for hundreds of miles in Lijiang, and you can buy more land in other frontiers. If you have spare money, you can set up some workshops and shops in Zhangqiu And Licheng. If some money is used to build roads and bridges, build schools, and help orphans and widows, it will be more meaningful."

Although the fourth child is now a local vassal, his personality has not changed much.

Hehe smiled, "Of course I am willing to do good deeds. Anyway, I really don't need money, but I used to be afraid of being impeached by the officials for buying people's hearts."

Luo Chengdao, "As long as you walk upright and stand upright, you don't have to worry about others saying that if you are upright, you are not afraid of shadows. It is a good thing to be supervised. We should also accept supervision, but as long as we do not do bad things, we are not afraid of supervision."

"Saint, what you said is true. I will do what the saint said later." The fourth child laughed.

"Fourth, I heard that you were a little anxious and ruthless when you used troops against Liuzhao in Yunnan."

Cunxiao said indifferently, "Sage, you have never been to Yunnan. That place is completely barbaric. It is said to be the land of our Great Qin Dynasty, but in fact, how many of those so-called Wuman Baiman were actually ordered by the imperial court?" Ling, when I started, I also talked with them politely, but when I turned around, they took my words as fart. From time to time, they even intercepted commercial routes and blocked post roads. I, Luo Lao Si, am not that It's easy to bully, since reasoning is not enough, let's talk with your fists. Don't say it, chop off more heads, it will work better than any good words."

"Saint, don't listen to the nonsense words of benevolence and righteousness from civil servants and censors. As long as the sage believes in me, and in another ten or eight years, I promise to transfer all the barbarians in Yunnan to you. For the Zhengjun of the imperial court, let them all change their lands and return them to the natives, and all of them will be naturalized."

"I believe in your ability, but it's better to be safe, take your time, and don't rush." ​​Luo Cheng still reminded Cunxiao.

"You should learn more from the third brother, the third brother is very stable in Yili."

Siye said, "I'm in the fief but I don't hear anything outside the window."

"With you, the great general, the north of the Tianshan Mountains will be overwhelmed by all the tribes. Siye, I plan to separate Yili County from Anxi Road."

"separate it?"

"The south of Tianshan Mountain is Anxi Road, the north of Tianshan Mountain is Beiting Road, and the southwest of Congling Mountain is Tocharo Road. Beiting Road governs Yili, Suiye, Qianquan, Taluosi, Dawan, etc."

Siye's heart moved. He had been in the Western Regions for some time, and he knew the situation in the Western Regions quite well. As soon as the emperor said it, he had a picture in his mind.The emperor wants to set up Beiting and Tocharo in the Western Regions, which is not easy. It seems that the Emperor is still not satisfied with the status quo of the Western Regions, and still wants to continue to expand westward and strengthen control.

Luo Yi also took a step forward at this time, "Sage, regarding Linyi, is it war or peace? The king of Linyi was captured, but his son has already established himself as king. On the one hand, he asked the court for peace, but on the other hand, he also asked Chenla and Funan borrowed troops and is making two-handed preparations. Now the new king of Linyi desperately hopes for a truce, and especially hopes that the court will return the Lion City to Linyi."

Luo Cheng chuckled.

"Isn't Linyi County already established in Lion City? This is an official county. It is impossible to establish a new county and abolish it soon, and it is impossible to hand it back to the Zhan people. The people of Linyi can make peace, but the Lion City must be kept. The old capital of Linyi (formerly Xianglinyi) was ceded to the imperial court, and a free trade agreement was signed."

Luo Yi knew in his heart that it seemed that the emperor did not intend to reconcile with the Zhan people. It was impossible for the Linyi people to agree to such a condition, which meant that they would fight to the end.

"Is Fan Fanzhi here?"

"Already arrived in Tai'an." Luo Yi replied.

"Well, arrange a time, and I will meet him some time."

Luo Cheng glanced at Tai'an City, which was integrated with a mountain city, "Forget about it, it's rare for our Luo family to get together, let's go and drink tea together."

The emperor wearing the five-clawed dragon robe was followed by a group of princes in the four-clawed python robe. One emperor and seven kings rode into the city on horseback. Those who accompanied him from a distance saw the rare gathering of the seven princes of the clan, and they were very impressed.

There are at least four famous generals in the world, Luo Yi, King of Sunset, Luo Siye, King of Yili, Luo Cunxiao, King of Lijiang, and Luo Shixin, King of Bohai. These four great general kings in [-], as long as there is something wrong in the world, the emperor can send any one at will, and they can control one side alone.

Coupled with the emperor who is known as the god of war, this Luo family is really like iron.
