Ancestor Bless: I built a thousand-year-old family

Chapter 442
Luo Sheng and Luo Shi looked at the rather tragic news from the Central Plains in their hands, and were a little dazed. Both of them fell into silence. Luo Shi opened his mouth, but made no sound, because he didn't know what to say.

There was another silence, Luo Shi murmured: "It shouldn't be like this, there is absolutely no need to go this far, how could your majesty..."

It's hard for Luo Sheng to accept this fact, and it's even harder for Luo Shi to accept it!

Although it was hard for Luo Sheng to accept it, he was just Mr. Zhao after all. After all, he was a guest of Dahan, and he only had feelings for Dahan, the main empire of Zhu Xia.

Luo Shi is different, he is Wushuanghou!
He is a feudal lord.

He is a subject who has accepted the dual canonization of the emperor and the emperor, and is a subject of the great Han. After Liu Dan ascended the throne, he wrote a congratulatory letter and sent it to Chang'an, swearing to be loyal to the emperor.

The emperor is his master!
Although the Luo family has a flexible moral bottom line, it is only aimed at monarchs who are too outrageous. The sons of the Luo family will not be foolish and loyal.

This does not mean that the son of the Luo family is a disloyal person. The good reputation of the son of the Luo family for thousands of years is because Luo's character is trustworthy.

Just like when Luo Yi accepted Liu Bang's last wish to take care of Liu Ruyi, he gave up the position of auxiliary minister that was easily available.

You must know that at that time, Luo Xin did not return to Chang'an, and Luo Yi did not know that the future auxiliary minister would still be the son of the Luo family. He would rather give up his prominent position, or even give up the future of making his family prominent in the political arena, and still have to execute Liu Bang. This is Luo Yi's loyalty to Liu Bang.

Luo Shi was still very satisfied with Liu Dan's performance since he came to the throne, but now, Liu Dan directly gave him a blow in the head, which Luo Shi couldn't accept at all.

Holding the letter in his hands, Luo Shi sighed and said, "Brother, if the Central Plains is in chaos, what should we do in the Western Regions so that we can hold it?"

It is extremely difficult to gain a firm foothold in a foreign country. Both the Western Han Dynasty and the Eastern Han Dynasty failed. They failed to establish a civilization and country belonging to the Han people. This is probably related to the policies of the Han Dynasty. They never thought of completely assimilating the Western Regions.

The Tang Dynasty was actually the closest to success. The regime established by the Guiyi Army and the existence of the Jin Kingdom in Khotan were all contributions of the Tang Dynasty. If there was no Anshi Rebellion, it would take another 100 years, and perhaps the Tang Dynasty could completely take the Western Regions into its own hands.

The Han Dynasty in this world has changed its attitude towards the Western Regions. It is no longer a simple garrison, but is preparing to gradually nibble away immigrants. The establishment of the Xia Kingdoms in the Western Regions, Wusun Kingdom and Wushuanghou Kingdom is an attempt.

If you want to establish a stable rule over a region, it is quite simple if you just integrate it. For example, like the various khanates of the Mongolian Empire, you will convert to the local religion and customs wherever you enter, and use the local culture to rule, such as A certain dynasty basically inherited the system of Ming Dynasty, and then strengthened its own characteristics, so the rule was very stable.

But if you don't want to integrate, but want to change the local culture, it will take three or four generations of talent.

Two generations of Luo Wuji and Luo Shi have worked here for 20 years, and found that the people in the Western Regions are very strange, they have a kind of belief in the gods, even if the Han people from the Central Plains came to this land, after giving birth It will also become divine.

If they asked Ji Zhao, Ji Zhao would definitely tell them that this is a kind of world rule, and the Western Regions are like this, and the fusion of cultures is the charm of the Western Regions.

But this situation has caused a rather embarrassing thing. There is no such godly religion in the Central Plains. There was one in Chu State before, but it was destroyed by Chu State Xiang's ancestor Ji Zhao.

Therefore, the religions of gods and gods have been eliminated, and the Eight Masters are not religions in the traditional sense.

Only Su Wang Ji Zhao!

But Ji Zhao's Su Wang belief is the ancestral god. In essence, it is almost at the level of Taoism, and it is integrated into Xia's blood.

To some extent, Emperor Su Wang is a very righteous god. A god teaches people not to rely on gods. Believe it.

But neither Ji Zhao nor the Luo family were willing to let the Su Wang emperor become an existence that imprisoned his thoughts, so this caused the current situation.

Rockwell has already started to prepare for the development of a special version of Su Wang Shang Huang Tian for the Western Regions, but this is destined to be a long process.

In such a situation that needed the most time, the emperor issued an edict to make seven out of ten merchants in Guanzhong go bankrupt.

The moment the Pandora's Box was opened, it was no longer a tax inspection, but the hands of the petty and treacherous subordinates. Whether it was a real tax evasion or a businessman doing business, in this storm Impossible to escape.

It can even be said that this is the inevitable ending!

Luo Sheng sighed and said: "Ashi, please clean up your emotions, the arrow is on the string, you have to let it go.

You are the general, at this moment, you must fight this battle even more!

Brother Wei immediately returned to the Central Plains to see how the world is going. "

Luo Shi took a deep breath, forcibly stabilized his figure, and slowly put the letter on the table.

After Luo Sheng and Luo Shi separated, they rushed all the way from the Western Regions to the Central Plains. The Western Regions and the four counties in Hexi were all busy, preparing for the big battle.

When he crossed the Hexi Corridor and entered Longxi County, he looked back at the Western Regions and thought, "A Shi must have started a war with the Dawan Kingdom now. The Western Regions are too far away. Once the Central Dynasty declines in the future, we must not be afraid."

Putting away these complicated thoughts, Luo Sheng no longer hurried on his way as before, but began to check the situation in the pass.

……

In a rather dilapidated hut, a little girl raised her big eyes and asked full of fear, "Father, why are those subordinates coming to rob us?"

The middle-aged man's face was full of fatigue, and he was about to speak, but suddenly he heard a noisy voice from outside the house. He opened the window and saw that it was a subordinate official of the government office!

Seeing the man, the subordinate staff showed a happy expression on his face, and shouted loudly, "Wang San, you are still eight thousand yuan short of paying, pay the money quickly, or you will be exiled under the Han law.

Your wife and daughter are all so delicate and tender, I am afraid that they will not be able to withstand the pain of exile. Let me tell you, half of the exiles will die on the way. If you pay the money quickly, you can still save your life. "

Wang San roared angrily when he heard the words: "I have always done business according to my duties, and I have never owed commercial taxes to the imperial court. What money should I pay? It was you people who deliberately framed me, which made me fall into today's land.

King Su, open your eyes and see, how can these wicked people stand safely under the blue sky? "

The subordinate clerk sneered and said, "Your cloth shop is worth 15 renminbi, but you only pay taxes at [-] renminbi, isn't it your fault?
We all act in accordance with His Majesty's instructions and the laws of the Han Dynasty. Are you dissatisfied with His Majesty? "

Wang San was so angry that he was about to vomit blood. He didn’t even know that his cloth shop was worth 15 for 15. Who would spend 15 to buy his own cloth house? This is obviously because the government wants to collect more taxes. Calculate the value of your own shop to a high value, and then find out that you have not paid enough taxes, and then directly swallow your own shop.

When people are extremely angry, sometimes they become more rational. Wang San raised his head and looked up at the sky, as if he felt Su Wang, who was above the nine heavens, was watching him. By this time, Wang San had already confirmed that these subordinates I don't want to live for myself at all.

That being the case, should we still wait to die?

That's ridiculous.

Wang San and his wife looked at each other, and they both saw determination in each other's eyes, especially Wang San's wife, who said decisively: "If I can survive today, I will go to Chang'an to have an audience. Back then, Emperor Gao overthrew the Qin Dynasty. , Now the big man is not kind to us, and is willing to use meager efforts to eliminate tyranny. If His Majesty the Emperor doesn't care, he will become a bandit and overthrow the imperial court."

Wang San quickly ran back to the house, took down the hanging sword, and returned to the courtyard.

Seeing that Wang San resisted, the subordinate staff were a little panicked, but they were not surprised. After all, the Han people were full of blood. Since the policy was implemented, there have been many people who resisted. Not to mention the subordinate staff, even officials were assassinated and seriously injured.

"Wang San, do you really want to resist?"

The subordinate staff screamed: "Rebelling against the imperial court is the end of the Yi tribe. Your daughter is still so young, can you bear this result?"

Faced with this situation, the only way is to seize the weakness of these people. Threats with weakness are the most effective. This is a typical change of continuous sitting, which has been tried repeatedly.

Upon hearing this, Wang San sneered and said, "It is better to die proudly than to live in humiliation.

Su Wang's god is in the sky. Today I died bravely, and my soul will be led into the realm of the gods. And you, these filthy people, are destined to be thrown into the underworld and suffer forever. "

The faces of the subordinate officials changed when they heard the words, and they broke their defenses and said: "The Son of Heaven is the son of the Emperor Su Wang who was born into the world, and we obey the order of the Son of Heaven, how could the Emperor Su Wang send down punishment.

You traitor, you are so disrespectful to Su Wang, you really deserve to die. "

Wang San stopped talking nonsense, and stepped forward with a sword in his hand. He used to be a soldier of the Han army, but he didn't make any contribution, but in terms of strength alone, he didn't know how much stronger he was compared to these few subordinates who could only exploit.

In the absence of armor on both sides, Wang San used one against three, but with a few quick, precise and ruthless moves, he killed several people in this courtyard, leaving behind several corpses and gurgling blood.

"Let's go to Chang'an."

Wang San took a deep breath, killing these subordinates gave him a great shock, without the slightest pause, the two packed their bags and prepared to go to Chang'an.

Any policy that is pushed to the bottom must try to figure out the thinking of grassroots officials with the greatest malice, and formulate reasonable assessment methods. If the policy makers cannot effectively control grassroots officials, then they should not make any new changes. The core idea of ​​the reform. ——"The Transformation of the Han Empire"
