I have lived forever since the end of Qin Dynasty

Chapter 312 Coincidence
Looking at the translucent system panel in front of him, Chen Luo didn't particularly care about his own values.

The longevity column has exceeded [-]. As for other aspects, it is not that important.

The accumulation of life in these years has made him understand that whether something can be accomplished does not depend on the paper plan made before, but must be combined with the actual situation, so as to ensure that there will be no problems in the end.

This is how people do things.

In the imperial examinations of the feudal era and the college entrance examinations of later generations, the number one scholar in each session can almost be regarded as the person with the highest paper data in the same period.

These top picks may be able to reach the middle and upper levels of the officialdom and earn millions or even tens of millions a month, but if they want to enter the top ranks, the data on paper will not be of much use.

If you want to be at the top, background, connections, and good luck are all indispensable.

We must know that Shen Shiqi has served as the prime minister of the Han Dynasty for a period of time. Is his ability comparable to Xiao He?Even he can throw away the opponent by a long way.

But the reason why he became the prime minister was because he was lucky to be on the same side at that time. Lu Pheasant happened to support someone to fight against the Heroes Faction and chose him.

Therefore, it is meaningless to just talk about the data on the system panel. Just like who would think that the national football team can lose to Vietnam on the first day of the new year?

Unless he has maxed out all the values ​​on the system panel and reached the limit of his personal ability, in that case, his background, connections, etc. will no longer matter. After all, no one can suppress a true all-around genius.

But now Chen Luo knows that he is still far away.

Especially in the military area, it has always been a shortcoming, barely reaching the level of a quasi-second-rate general.

But compared to others, my ability to grasp the situation is much stronger.

Chen Luo squinted slightly and looked at a certain data on the system panel.

[Degree of world line change: 16%]

After the establishment of the Han Dynasty, the data on the degree of change of the world line became stable. There was no short-term increase or decrease of 2% to 3% at the end of the Qin Dynasty.

Before Liu Bang died, when Liu Ying succeeded to the throne, the world line changed from 18% to 17%. When Lu Fei died, it rose back to 18%. However, when Liu Ying died, it returned to 17%, and then Liu Heng succeeded. It became 16% now.

Chen Luo could guess the general reason for this change.

Liu Bang died and Liu Ying succeeded to the throne, which is consistent with the original history, and it is natural that the degree of world line changes will be reduced.

The death of Lu Pheasant caused its value to increase, probably because she died before Liu Ying this time, but not only because of the order of death, but also because she died before Liu Ying, so the Zhu Lu Rebellion would not have happened.

Of course, the outcome of the Zhulu Rebellion was Liu Heng's ascension to the throne.

After Liu Ying's death, the hero faction chose to support King Yan in Beijing, and the degree of change in the world line was reduced, so it became reasonable.

Chen Luo couldn't help but rub his chin.

The reduction in the degree of change in the world line probably depends not only on the occurrence of a certain historical event, but also on its subsequent impact. If its impact is not consistent with history, it will not lead to a reduction in the degree of change.

The best example is the White Horse Alliance.

This crucial alliance in the early days of the Han Dynasty did not lead to a change in the degree of change of the world line on the system panel. Chen Luo analyzed the reason afterwards.

First of all, the performance of Xiang Yu, Wu Rui and others in the fight against South Vietnam showed that princes and kings with different surnames had a positive impact on the Han Dynasty. When Liu Bang made the covenant, after the sentence "No one who is not Liu's will be king", he added "He who is already a king is exempted".

Secondly, the mentality of the Chehous who participated in the covenant was also different. At that time, it was a part of the Qingqi Festival, and many people's mentality had not changed, so they did not take this matter seriously.

The last point is that the White Horse Alliance in history mainly played its role when Empress Lu was in power and Zhu Lu was in chaos.

According to the situation in this world line, Liu Ying's position is stable. Although Lu Fei supported the Lu family in the court and appointed Shen Shiqi, this was all within the rules. Naturally, the White Horse Alliance could not achieve the same effect as the original history. Guarantee effect.

Understanding the general operation process of the world line change rules, Chen Luo can certainly say that his ability to grasp the situation is far superior to others.

For example, some emperors are accustomed to hiding everything, so they have to find a suitable time to retire.

And some emperors behaved as wise in the early stage and mediocre in the later stage. Then they could guide them secretly and eliminate possible tragedies.

There are also policy directions during the reign of certain emperors. When the degree of world line changes is low, they will not deviate from history, and it is more convenient for them to plan in advance.

Even when you encounter a really difficult problem, you cannot blindly rely on these "experiences" to deal with it, but being able to know them in advance can be called an extra "problem-solving idea."

"Let's talk about the future later." Chen Luo shook his head. Now that he is retiring and returning to his hometown, he will not need to worry about these problems for at least ten or twenty years.

At this time, he clicked on the system photo album and looked at the photos he had checked in over the years.

The Dazexiang uprising and Chen Sheng becoming king and establishing Zhang Chu were the first two photos that Chen Luo checked in.

After that, he left Chen County and went to Kuaiji. It was also his first time to go to Chu.

During that trip, Chen Luo also rode a bicycle. He was very cautious on the road for fear of encountering bandits and thieves.

But now he doesn't have to worry about those things and can enjoy the scenery along the road comfortably.

Moreover, he was just a small character that no one knew at the time, but now he has become the world-famous Prime Minister Chen and the Yang Xiahou known to all the Han Dynasty.

Looking through other photos later, they all bear the hardships Chen Luo has experienced along the way.

Especially when he saw the bloody photo of the Battle of the Giant Deer, he smacked his lips.

When he was fighting on the battlefield, his mind was completely focused on the enemy in front of him, and he didn't notice that the situation around him was so tragic.

"This is probably the closest I've ever been to death." Chen Luo speculated calmly that if he made any mistakes in the fight, or the enemy fired a cold arrow from the dark, he might become a bloody corpse in the photo.

But this is already a thing of the past, not to mention that if they had not fought bravely at that time, the Qin army, which had an absolute numerical advantage, would not have been defeated.

Chen Luo looked through the photos all the way down, and there were fewer and fewer war scenes. The most recent one was the decisive battle between Han Xin and the Huns. The photo was titled [Battle of Jingxing, a last-ditch battle].

As for the content of the subsequent scenes, most of them are scenes in Chang'an City, and it can even be said that they are mainly concentrated in the palace city.

"Your Majesty, it seems that the Mohist disciples want to report something to you." The driver Zhang turned around and interrupted Chen Luo's thoughts. "Let him come over and report." Chen Luo replied.

While the convoy was moving, the Mohist disciples would ask for their opinions on the camp and the speed of travel. However, he always respected the advice of the Mohist disciples and left professional matters to professionals.There is no doubt that the Mohist caravan is the authority in the field of long-distance travel.

The carriage began to slow down and stopped after a moment.

Chen Luo opened the curtains and saw a middle-aged man with a weathered face standing respectfully next to the carriage. The brown clothes he wore showed his identity.

I recognize this man. He is the deputy steward of this Mohist caravan.

"May I ask the deputy steward to come over and ask me if you have anything to discuss with me?" Chen Luo said with a gentle smile. He always had a respectful attitude towards the Mohist disciples and would never put himself in a leadership position.

The deputy steward hesitated for a moment before continuing: "A woman walking alone appeared in front of us. After she met our convoy, she asked to follow us."

Mohist disciples have always shown kindness to ordinary people.

If it were normal times, the deputy steward could directly decide this matter and let the woman join the convoy and take her to Handan City ahead.

But now that there was Yang Xiahou in the convoy, he was afraid that the woman's identity would be doubtful and she would harm Yang Xiahou if she made a wrong choice, and he would deserve death.

Chen Luo asked in confusion: "Woman? Going alone? Where does she want to go? Has the deputy steward asked?"

I don't blame myself for thinking there is something wrong, the content of the deputy steward's description is really weird.

The road they were walking on was not dangerous, but if a woman was walking alone and sprained her foot or fell, it would be difficult for her to solve the problem herself.

Chen Luo felt that if the other party was just going to visit relatives and friends, there would be no need to come to the Mohist caravan and ask for a ride.

The deputy steward pursed his lips and said with a strange expression: "The woman said she planned to go to Chang'an."

Chen Luo was stunned when he heard this answer.

He was a little doubtful and asked: "She is going to Chang'an? Going to Chang'an alone? Are you sure you heard it right? She is not going to Changzhi?"

Although Handan is also two to three hundred miles away from Changzhi, if you have good foot strength, you can walk there in about half a month. However, it is nearly a thousand miles away from Chang'an. It would be too outrageous for a woman to walk there. .

After receiving the confirmation from the deputy steward, Chen Luo decided not to leave this unstable factor in the team, but he still asked curiously: "Has she said what she wants to do in Chang'an?"

"She said she planned to go to Chang'an to see the emperor and suffer the punishment for her father." The deputy steward obviously asked carefully in advance.

The driver next to him twitched his mouth, feeling that this reason was too weird. However, he followed the usual rules and did not express his own opinions. He bowed his head silently.

Chen Luo felt that this reason seemed familiar somewhere.

After thinking for a while, he suddenly asked: "Can I ask the woman's name? Where is she from?"

"She came from Qi Di, but I didn't ask her name." The deputy steward was a little embarrassed. After all, most women don't have names. Others call them xx and xx. If asked, he would not know. What information comes out.

The driver Zhang suddenly felt that the woman was even more strange. He rushed from Qi to Chang'an, and it was not enough to go through the Sanhe area. When he came to Zhao, even if it was not the opposite direction, it was still a big detour.

The deputy steward responded quickly and said: "Mr. Chen, I'll ask him right away."

Chen Luo nodded and closed his eyes to rest while waiting for the answer.

About half the time it took to burn the incense, the sound of the deputy steward's hurried footsteps sounded in his ears, and Chen Luo opened his eyes.

"Reporting to Mr. Chen, the woman said her surname was Chunyu and her name was Tiying, and she was the daughter of Chunyu Yi, a famous doctor in Qi." The deputy steward reported.

When he said this, there was actually a hint of surprise in his eyes.

Mohist disciples traveled all over the country, and most of them were determined to record the strange things they encountered on the way.

And I have heard the name of Chun Yuyi, the miracle doctor of Qi, countless times, and there are at least five or six stories of his medical practice and saving lives that are not repeated.

Of course, the most interesting thing for outsiders to talk about is that Chunyu Yi refused the invitation of King Qi and many princes of Che, adopted the method of moving his household registration, and traveled around the country to practice medicine. Mohist disciples also received his favor.

If he had known the identity of the other party, he would have chosen to take her for a ride no matter what.

Chen Luo muttered silently in his heart: "Tiying really saved my father. I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence that I met him on the road."

After all, it was precisely because Tiying saved his father that Liu Heng chose to abolish corporal punishment and use flogging on the grounds that "corporal punishment is so severe that it can break limbs, carve into skin, and never recover for life. It is painful and immoral." To replace it, this measure became the best evidence of Emperor Hanwen's benevolent government and was commendable.

Corporal punishment is a continuation of slave society. The reason for its existence is that in that era, most people were not "people", but tools and tools.

Those slaves who lost their fingers and noses were no big deal in the eyes of the rulers, just like a corner of a porcelain jar being knocked off.

Chen Luo was also opposed to corporal punishment. After all, mutilating the body could not play a positive role in educating the people.

The reason why corporal punishment has been retained until now is because there were too many bandits in the early Han Dynasty for more than ten years. Xiao He insisted that heavy punishment should be used in troubled times. Simple beatings and whippings would not be effective against the gangsters.

Later, Chen Luo served as prime minister for only more than a year. He was transferred out of Chang'an and away from the center of power before he had time to implement the abolition of corporal punishment.

Now that I happen to meet a key figure who is leading the abolition of corporal punishment, I would like to help him if I can.

Slowly raising his head, Chen Luo whispered: "Just do a good deed that day and leave her in the motorcade."

----

According to records in "Historical Records" and "Biographies of Lienv", Tiying did not carry much money with her when she left Qidi because her father was arrested and imprisoned.

And she successively took advantage of the Mohist caravan's "hitchhiking", first arriving in Zhaodi, and then met the Mohist caravan in Handan heading directly to Guanzhong. Finally, she followed them to Chang'an and successfully submitted a letter to Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty.

It can be seen from this that the Mohist caravans were very prosperous during the period of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty. There were caravans in Qi, Zhao, and Guanzhong for trade. There is no doubt that they were a powerful merchant force at that time. ——"Study History with a Magnifying Glass"
