Chapter 521 Shocking Luo Qing for a Whole Year
In the elegant palace room, the two brothers sat facing each other.

Luo Qing asked with a smile: "Brother, what's the big deal about calling Qing back from Chang'an this time?"

Luo Bai called Luo Qing back from Chang'an, naturally he didn't simply let him be a planter, after all Luo Qing is his own younger brother, such inhumane things can't be done casually.

Luo Bai thought for a while and said: "There are many things, but I don't know where to start."

Wang Wenjun and Luo Ling walked in from the outside, Wang Wenjun knelt beside Luo Bai, and Luo Ling knelt behind Luo Bai's right.

After Wang Wenjun sat down, he pinched Luo Bai's arm, and the two looked at each other. Wang Wenjun glanced at Luo Ling from the corner of his eyes, and then whispered in his ear: "A Ling is beautiful, she knows everything, she is Ah Qing's good match, if it is not for Ah Qing You've been running around all the time, you should have gotten married a long time ago."

Luo Bai was stunned for a moment, then glanced at Luo Ling, and nodded, "Ah Qing and A Ling have known each other since childhood, and they have been together for several years. Ling's pedigree is definitely fine, but she still has to go through the process."

Pedigree is the calculation of succession algebra.

Wang Wenjun nodded, then looked at Luo Qing with a smile, and looked at Luo Qing with horror, not knowing what his sister-in-law, who liked to deceive people since she was a child, wanted to do.

Having resolved Luo Qing's lifelong event so quickly, Luo Bai felt a little happy.

Luo Qing had an ominous premonition, so he quickly led the topic and asked, "Brother, is there a lot going on in the family?"

Luo Bai smiled and said: "You have done a lot of things in Chang'an, it was a palace change, and it was preaching, and the family has not stopped moving forward either.

The stall laid down by the family is really too big. Fortunately, Emperor Xiaoxuan has managed the world well these years, otherwise it would definitely affect the family.

But now is the time for family change again.

It has been 150 years since the establishment of the Great Han Dynasty. Over the years, various contradictions have become prominent, and land annexation has gradually become serious. Before that, Emperor Xiaoxuan used his personal ability to forcefully suppress it, but he does not know what will happen in the future.

The most critical order to relocate the powerful may be about to expire. Once the court finds that the cost and damage of relocating the powerful outweigh the benefits, it will definitely stop this policy.

In the past, the lower-level officials in the Kanto region fought against the tyrants, but now they are almost colluding.

The key point is that even if the officials sent by the imperial court dare to attack the powerful, the purpose is not to maintain the operation of the imperial court, but to enrich their own pockets by forcing the powerful to death. This is already a vicious circle. "

Luo Qing has been staying in Guanzhong. He did not expect the situation in Guandong to be so serious. What he saw in Guanzhong was that only the royal family and foreign relatives were more arrogant and domineering, and the occupation of land was more serious. do so.

Luo Qing frowned and asked in a low voice: "Emperor Xiaoxuan sent the governor and embroidered clothes to the Kanto to report, so could it be that they were suppressed?

Huo Zimeng is not a good stubble, didn't the three years of killing deter them?
Could it be that Huo Zimeng didn't dare to do anything?

Then the situation is serious. "

Huo Guang's character, Luo Qing, is relatively clear. If even he didn't dare to do anything on a large scale, it meant that the situation was out of control.

Luo Bai said softly: "After all, Huo Zimeng is only assisting the government, not the emperor. There are some things he dare not do."

Luo Qing was silent when he heard the words. This is a very realistic problem. After all, Huo Guang needs to be concerned about what happens after his death.

If it was Liu Xun, no one would dare to retaliate even if he went on a killing spree.

But Huo Guang can't do it. He is not alone. He has a huge family. If he offends too many people, once he steps down, the family will definitely be liquidated.

In this world, only the assistant administration of the Luo family dares to do its best without worrying about being retaliated and liquidated. It's not that no one dares to retaliate, but that the Luo family will beat those people down again.

The issue of powerful officials was something that the family had made up their minds to fight against when they decided on the Luo family's path.

Seeing Luo Qing's silence, Luo Bai said again: "It's not just the powerful local officials.

The Yantie Liquor official camp also started to have problems. You should have heard about what happened in Yuzhang County last year. "

Luo Qing nodded, that incident was relatively famous.

The quality of ironware in Zhongguanying in Yuzhang County was so poor that it could not be used for farming at all. The imperial court monopolized all ironware, did not allow private casting, and forcibly sold it to farmers, resulting in farmers having to use primitive stone farm tools for farming.

The efficiency of stone tools and iron tools is too different, resulting in a large-scale reduction in production in Yuzhang County. In the absence of natural disasters, vicious incidents of starvation occurred.

This incident was originally suppressed by the Yuzhang County Sheriff, but it turned out that a Mohist child came to visit friends in Yuzhang County. Knowing about this, he shot the Yuzhang Sheriff directly at the Sheriff with the crossbow he prepared. outside the house.

A high-ranking official with two thousand shi was assassinated!

The imperial court was furious, and Prime Minister Liu Xiang personally supervised the matter, and as a result, he pulled out the radish and brought out the mud, which exposed the poor quality of the ironware in the official camp in Yuzhang County, which caused famine and killed more than a dozen people.

Huo Guang was furious, because this incident killed many people, and because Yuzhang County was close to Lingnan, he directly exiled the family members of the offenders to Lingnan, but according to Lingnan King, they all died on the way due to the epidemic, and no one reached Lingnan. As for what happened to the real situation, no one knows.

It may be that he died on the road because of the epidemic, or the person being escorted died on the road, or he was hidden by the King of Lingnan and became a hidden servant in the kingdom.

The sky was high and the emperor was far away, so it was impossible for the imperial court to investigate the hidden population in the Lingnan Kingdom.

Luo Bai said in a deep voice: "According to the information that the family has acquired over the years, not only Yuzhang County, but almost most of the counties have this kind of situation more or less, and Yuzhang County is only one of the more serious ones.

This situation is no longer just a simple problem of salt and iron official management, the food production of the whole world is declining, and there are many people who are dissatisfied. "

The official operation of Yantie was originally an institution to ensure the unity of national government orders, to facilitate management and control, and to prevent local tyrants from taking advantage of it, but now it has caused a decline in the productivity of the entire society.

This is a very simple math problem. If there was food and grass in the world and one stone, the court would get three fights, the powerful would get five fights, and the common people would get two fights.

Now it has become that there are only seven dou of food and grass in the world, and the imperial court still wants so much, so the loss of the powerful is naturally smaller, and it is difficult to get three dou, and it is difficult for the common people to get even one dou.

Luo Qing took a breath when he heard the words, Yantie official camp, this is an extremely important tax channel for the imperial court, and at the same time it is a sharp weapon for the imperial court to control the world. Shang two Jiuqing are in charge.

In other words, this is under the direct jurisdiction of the central court.

As a result, there is such a serious problem with this weapon now. The common people are exploited by tyrants, local officials, and even the central court.

After thinking for a while, Luo Qing said in a deep voice: "Brother, what you mean is that now there are voices among the people who want to abolish the Yantie official camp?

This is impossible, the imperial court is absolutely impossible to agree, and even if there is no Yantie official camp, will those tyrants stop exploiting the people?

impossible!
There is no end to the greed of tyrants, but this matter should indeed be discussed by the court. In any case, this issue must always be faced by the court. "

Luo Bai said in a deep voice: "Now the family is caught in a dilemma. The pros and cons of the Yantie official camp are too obvious. At present, the family is in a state of neither support nor opposition. This requires a lot of arguments to be able to decide. How to do it, you have been in Chang'an for a long time, you must have seen more, what do you think?"

Luo Qing pondered.

----

About 150 years after the founding of the Han Dynasty, the unique disadvantages and contradictions of the autocratic dynasty began to gradually rise. After the death of Liu Xun, a powerful emperor, the burden of reform fell on Huo Guang and Liu She. Call it a reform, but an improvement, because when the dynasty develops to this stage, no one can completely change it, but only delay its onset.

The author once commented on the reform of Luo Wengong Wang Ji in the "History of the Rise and Fall of the Zhou Dynasty" as follows: "After being widely opposed, especially those who supported his reform at the same time, he resolutely stopped some relatively radical reform".

This evaluation can also be used in the Han Dynasty. Anyone has to admit that after continuous turmoil, the basic situation of the Han Dynasty has gradually changed, and the groups that support it have changed. ——"History of the Rise and Fall of the Han Dynasty"
