Chapter 289 The Kingdom of the Xias and the King of the Xias

Fanyu.

This is the capital of the Lingnan Kingdom.

Luo Xin stepped out of the carriage and saw a heroic man in the costume of a vassal king at a glance. He knew that this was Zhao Tuo. But that would be just plain stupid.

Seeing Luo Xin get off the carriage, Zhao Tuo hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile, "The Prime Minister is well, it's hard to express how much I look forward to your arrival."

Zhao Tuo was uneasy, and Luo Xin smiled and said, "It is a new honor for the king to welcome you. The south of the Lingnan is far away, and I wish you well."

After the two greeted each other for a while, Zhao Tuo and Luo Xin walked into the city, and Luo Xin asked, "Your Majesty, where did the name of this city come from?"

Zhao Tuo pondered slightly: "It is composed of the names of two local mountains."

Luo Xin said with a smile: "Your Majesty is originally from the Central Plains. When you looked up at the moon, did you ever miss your hometown?"

Zhao Tuo's complexion changed slightly, and he said, "Naturally, I miss you, but in Lingnan, the livelihood of hundreds of thousands of soldiers still needs to be taken care of by me. Duke Zhao asked me to work hard in Lingnan, and I dare not forget it for a moment. "

After thinking about it, Luo Xin knew what Zhao Tuo was worried about, so he laughed and said sincerely: "Yes, 1000 years ago, the new ancestors left their hometowns, left the ancestral land of the Zhou clan, and went to Luodi Founding of the country.

Countless family members and heroes surnamed Ji have left their homeland of Fenghao, and finally the prosperity of Zhuxia is now. The king is really gratified to think so.

You pioneered Zhuxia in the barren land, like holding a torch in the dark, can anyone ignore you? "

That's it!

Zhao Tuo was determined. It seemed that although this son of the Luo family was close to the Empress Dowager Regent of the Han Dynasty, he was still a son of the Luo family in essence, and he cared most about the survival of Zhu Xia.

In fact, anyone who has read some history books clearly knows how much the Luo family attaches great importance to the continuation of Zhuxia. This is how Chu and Qin escaped the fate of being weak and perishing.

Especially the state of Chu, because of its outstanding achievements, not only escaped the strangulation of Lord Luo Wen, but even almost integrated into the Ji Jiang alliance.

Although it failed in the end, the direct line of the Luo family entered Chu, and was completely recognized by the princes of the Central Plains, and was no longer despised as a barbarian.

After thinking about this point, Zhao Tuo's smile immediately became sincere, "Prime Minister, I have held a grand banquet for you and all of you, and I ask you to honor it."

Looking at Zhao Tuo, who made a 180-degree turn in attitude, Luo Xin couldn't help feeling secretly in his heart that the reputation and prestige that Luo's has persisted for thousands of years is really an invincible weapon.

Many things that are difficult for others can be said to be easy for Rockwell, such as winning trust.

But the disadvantage is that no one will believe the Rock family if they play tricks to feign surrender.

Also, with the gradual implementation of the bureaucratic system, the administration of officials will inevitably become corrupted. Those officials who carelessly ignore human lives and are full of evil will naturally be hostile to the Luo family.

If other high-ranking officials show their lords, maybe they still want to drag benefits into the water together, and they will directly confront the Luo family, because it is impossible to pull them over.

The Luo family has come from the era of Bangzhou aristocrats, and has not seen the horror of the bureaucracy, which is even far beyond the horror of the nobility.

Because the nobles can be killed, but the bureaucrats can't be killed and killed.

Zhao Tuo's banquet was really sincere. Basically, all the most cherished things of the Lingnan Kingdom were brought up, flying in the sky, running in the mountains, and swimming in the water. None of the nobles have seen it.

As the host, Zhao Tuo persuaded Luo Xin to drink, and he heard Luo Xin say with a smile: "Your Majesty, I have come to Lingnan under the order of the Empress Dowager Regent, and you are the servant of the Emperor. Today you and Xin Neng are gathered here. It is precisely because of the grace of the Empress Dowager Regent and the Son of Heaven, shouldn’t this first glass of wine be respected to the Empress Dowager Regent and the Son of Heaven in Chang’an?”

So everyone in the main hall toasted Chang'an, and the historian who followed Luoxin recorded this scene, and Zhao Tuo's heart trembled.

Sure enough, it was the style of the Luo family. Wherever they went, the historians kept records. The history books of the Luo family were more than the sum of several big countries.

Moreover, the Luo family will also summarize the history books, and select some things from them as thoughts to interpret. "Luo Gong Chun Qiu" is one of the best. The thoughts of the two sages of Luo Kong and Confucius were derived, and many thoughts were enriched into the Confucian classics during this process.

As the banquet ended, Zhao Tuo finally had the opportunity to ask Luo Xin the real reason for coming. Since it was not to abolish his throne, he needed to do something.

In the quiet room of the side hall.

Zhao Tuo cupped his hands and said, "Prime Minister, what is your intention for coming, please ask for instructions, but whatever Tuo can do, he will definitely agree."

Luo Xin said with a smile: "Your Majesty, don't be nervous, Xin came here this time to give you a good name, so that you can have the opportunity to leave a name in Zhu Xia's history."

Zhao Tuo didn't dare to take it lightly, and said: "Thank you, Prime Minister Tuo, please tell me."

Only then did Luo Xin get serious, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, since the end of the Qin Dynasty, you have occupied Lingnan for more than ten years, and most of the members of the Southern Expedition Army have probably married and had children there.

You are now the king of Lingnan Kingdom. This place is far away from Chang'an. The Empress Dowager Regent and the Son of Heaven can't control you. Although this place is very remote, there are millions of people. Prosperity and wealth, is this what you want? "

Zhao Tuo really wanted to say directly that this is what he wanted, but he knew he couldn’t say that, it would be courting death, Luo Xin traveled thousands of miles, not just to hear him say such nonsense.

So he immediately said righteously: "Of course Tuo doesn't want to spend the rest of his life like this. If people only know how to enjoy themselves in this world, wouldn't they be like wild animals?"

Luo Xin said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the reason why Xin came here is because you are the first king of Zhuxia who canonized by a big man. Xin has high expectations for you."

Zhao Tuo asked suspiciously: "The lords of the Xia Kingdom? Please ask the prime minister to explain to Tuo."

Luo Xin replied: "As the name suggests, the Lord of the Zhuxia Kingdom is the owner of the Zhuxia Kingdom. As for the Zhuxia Kingdom, three conditions must be met at the same time.

The first is that the ruler of the country, that is, you, the king, must be an orthodox person from the Xia Dynasty. Your beliefs, language, writing, etiquette, etc. must be roughly the same as those in the Central Plains. There may be slight changes due to the difference in geographical environment. , but must be distinguishable at a glance.

The second is that the entire ruling class of the country, the people of Zhuxia, must have the upper hand, and there must be no situation where barbarians coerce national policies.

The third is that the number of Xia people in the kingdom must be at least balanced, and they must be basically comprehensive in terms of belief, language, writing, and etiquette. "

The first article is easy to understand, Xiajun Yimin is naturally not comparable to Yijun Xiamin, and the second article is a strengthening of the first article, because without the support of a ruling group, the only outcome of Xiajun is Yihua.

The third is not only a requirement, but also a performance assessment for Lord Xia, if he fails to meet it, he will not be regarded as the Lord of the Xia Kingdom.

Zhao Tuo was surprised when he heard this, and said, "Prime Minister, the first and second items are simple, as is the case in Lingnan Middle School today, but the third item is really difficult.

We are all foreigners, and there are only a few hundred thousand people in the Lingnan Kingdom. How can we compare with those endless barbarians? "

Luo News said with a smile: "It's very simple, you just need to re-register and register the people from the Central Plains and their wives on it, this is your Lingnan people.

The imperial court only recognizes these people. If you want to go to the Central Plains to do something, it is enough to bring only these people. As for the other barbarians, what does it have to do with your Lingnan Kingdom? "

Does this work too?
Everyone in Zhao Tuo was going to be stupid. He didn't expect such an operation, so he quickly asked: "How dare Tuo treat the remaining people?"

It can't be done suddenly, because Zhao Tuo has something to do with being able to stay in Lingnan for so many years, no matter what the reason is, it is impossible for him to use such a violent method.

Luo Xin did not answer directly, but chuckled softly: "The Central Plains thought that Lingnan was a barren land, but you are here, can't you feel the preciousness here?
Everything in the world is bestowed by God for human survival, especially the sun, which brings light and harvest to the world. It can be compared with the sun in water, which is the source of life for all things.

Lingnan has abundant water and a shining sun. Isn’t this a gift from God?
On this road, there are evergreen trees everywhere, wild fruits all over the mountains, and weeds in the hills. This is a piece of fertile land.

This was the case when the state of Chu was on the Jianghan Plain, when the towering giant trees in the south of the Lingnan were cut down, when large forests were burned, and when snakes, insects, mice, and ants died under the violent fire, the ashes of those trees and the corpses of countless animals It will be turned into the best nutrient to moisten this fertile land.

The ubiquitous miasma will disappear with the disappearance of the forest, and this place will become a paradise. Who do you think this kind of land should belong to? "

Zhao Tuo frowned and said, "King Su said that under the sun, all the land suitable for living is bestowed by the heavens on Zhu Xia, so this place naturally belongs to Zhu Xia."

Luo Xin said with emotion: "Do you know what to do to make this land belong to Zhu Xia?"

Zhao Tuo tentatively asked, "Like what the old ancestors did?"

Luo Xin shook his head and said: "Of course not, in the country of etiquette, there are barbarians who take the initiative to vote. As for those who do not take the initiative, you can persuade him to take the initiative.

Seeing the prosperity of Zhuxia, are there any barbarians who are unwilling to take part?

After returning to Dahan, the technical support for Lingnan will be increased, and a large amount of ironware will also be sent. This place will develop quickly. You only need to let the middle school men marry more and have more children.

You can use all means except massacres to destroy their dilapidated cities, cut off their absurd history, exterminate their ridiculous language, erase their common memory, confuse their blood, and kill those who resist the most people.

Fifty years later, after two generations of people have died, the only ancestors these people who learned the culture of the Central Plains can find are those from the Central Plains. At that time, the Lingnan Kingdom can include these among the people of the country.

The Central Plains has exiled sinners here from generation to generation. After 500 years, isn’t this the inherent territory of Zhu Xia? "

It was obviously a very gentle method. Facing the advanced technology of the Central Plains, many barbarians would even take the initiative to leave the old land, but Zhao Tuo shuddered when he heard it.

What a horror!

----

In the archives released and declassified by the Luo family, the author searched for a large amount of materials promoting the kingly way. It can be clearly seen that the attitude of the barbarians ranged from the early reluctance to accept the kingly way, to the gradual agreement in the middle period, until the Han Dynasty took the initiative to take effect. The attractiveness of Zhuxia to the surrounding barbarians increases with the improvement of civilization and productivity. This is the victory of the advanced over the backward, and the victory of civilization over barbarism. This is the victory of civilization and the victory of the country of etiquette. ——"History of the Rise and Fall of the Han Dynasty"
