Chapter 349 Mausoleum
Handan.

A carriage was walking slowly on the bustling street, and in the carriage was Luo Jing who was patrolling Shandong. Looking at the prosperity and prosperity in front of him, Luo Jing nodded in satisfaction.

As one of the most prosperous commercial cities in the world, the situation in Handan is of great reference value to the whole world.

A few years ago, after the imperial court deprived the clans of their relatives and enshrined the country, they set up money supervisors in all the counties and states in the world to monitor whether there was any obvious bad money circulating in the market in each counties and states. Once found, they would be confiscated. The government, according to the crime or heavy punishment, ransacked the house, and even exiled.

Through such strict supervision, although it is impossible to completely eliminate the bad money, basically those fraudulent tricks are no longer seen.

"Your Majesty, most of the dozens of counties and states in the world have already used the Tianhan coins cast by the imperial court. When the ministers visited Da Si Shang a few days ago, Da Si Shang said that the imperial court's annual revenue increased a lot last year. , The profit of this coinage is really terrible, from this we can know how much profit those princes made in the past."

Luo Jing heard the words and did not answer, but said: "Your Majesty has commuted punishments and practiced benevolence in recent years, and reduced and exempted agricultural taxes. Although the private economy has been greatly restored, because the administration is too lenient, private mergers must be serious. However, if you want to solve this problem, you must It’s impossible, I hope this time, I can ease it a bit.”

After speaking, he pulled down the curtains of the carriage, and the carriage fell into silence, only the sound of horseshoes moving forward could be heard.

"Messengers sent out to the four directions, recruiting the world's powerful, and told them to come to Handan on time to pay homage. I have something important to announce. Those who fail to arrive will bear the consequences."

Before Luo Jing came to Handan, he had already sent letters of recruitment to many powerful families, asking them to come to Handan on time to accept the summons.

Many of these tyrannical and powerful families are descended from the aristocratic branches of Bang Zhou, but after all the wars and the Han Dynasty's behavior of cutting leeks against the powerful, they are far worse than before.

However, after all, these people have a collection of books, rich educational resources, and land, and they develop very quickly. As long as the imperial court is not strict, they can basically control the place within 20 years.

Knowledge is power and wealth, which is fully reflected in these people.

But facing these people, even Rockwell has nothing to do.

Because whether you want to admit it or not, these cultured, aggressive, and powerful tyrants are currently the most powerful group of people in Zhuxia.

If the Han court can promise their benefits, these people can even prepare their own armed forces to overthrow the barbarians.

Rockwell has always pursued the principle of strengthening the weak branches to ensure the unity of the country, while maintaining the vitality of the branches. If there is a problem with the main branch, the branch can quickly grow into a new main branch.

The root of this idea comes from the book written by Ji Zhao.

In the previous life, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the imperial court suffered a complete defeat, but the lower clans were too atomized to support the growth of heroes.

There was no situation where the local gentry supported the princes in the melee. The Qing court, an outsider, accepted the entire gentry system almost like a broken bamboo.

This is really a scene that has never been heard in thousands of years!

You must know that even in the era of the decadent aristocrats, the Eastern Jin Dynasty was able to beat up the north. Although the Northern Expedition was delayed, at least there was no problem in defending the soil.

It can only be said that the scholar-bureaucrats of the Song and Ming Dynasties were more greedy but more incompetent than the tyrants of the Han and Tang Dynasties. At least the Han and Tang clans really had a few brushes in their hands when they mounted horses to fight and dismounted to rule the people.

As for land annexation, Haoqiang will instinctively devour everything around him to strengthen his strength.

In today's era, land, a resource that can produce and support people, is the most powerful force.

Land annexation is irreversible, which is determined by the nature of the regime and can only be mitigated as much as possible.

Because the royal family is annexing land, how can it control other people?
The tyrants that Luo Jing summoned were not those simple big businessmen, because most of those businessmen were still in a dependent position, and those he summoned were all small officials in counties and counties, and their family assets were extremely rich people.

Regarding Luo Jing's summoning, these people only had fear in their hearts, because Luo Jing came from Chang'an, and his status was too high to be compared with them. Facing this kind of person, a little carelessness would bring disaster.

……

Luo Jing was exchanging greetings with Zhao Wang.

After splitting the country, the current King Zhao is no longer the vassal king who was able to control the military of the entire Yan Kingdom and the Dai Kingdom.

Although he still bears the name of King Zhao, it may be more appropriate to be called King Handan.

The royal palace was already filled with noble families from various counties.

These people traveled all over the world on weekdays, some of them knew each other, and some even had hatred, but they suppressed their thoughts in this place, and whispered to each other, wanting to know if anyone knew the inside story.

King Zhao accompanied Luo Jing into the hall, and everyone stood up to salute.

Luo Jing looked around for half a week and said: "Today you are summoned for an extremely important event, and you are required to contribute to the imperial court.

Outside Chang'an, there are three mausoleums of the great Han emperors, the Mausoleum of Emperor Taizu Gao, the Mausoleum of Empress Gao, and the Mausoleum of Emperor Renzong Xiaohui. Because of my unfilial piety, my ancestors were so lonely.

Until the end of the worship, His Majesty was still full of emotion.

It is not what a courtier should do if he sees that the emperor is in trouble but does not help him.

It is not enough for a minister to be called filial piety when he sees his elder brother mourning but does not comfort him.

I left Chang'an and came to Shandong to see you and other loyal ministers, and I came here for His Majesty the Emperor. "

As soon as Luo Jing said this, the complexions of those powerful families changed drastically, even to the point of horror.

Lingyi!

This is the word that all the tyrants in the entire Han Dynasty turned pale upon hearing it.

The emperor wants to send people to guard the imperial tomb again.

From the perspective of later generations, the mausoleum system is like leeks, harvesting the tyrants of the various counties and counties of the Han Dynasty one by one, and constantly preventing the tyrants from growing in the local area, which is an extremely progressive policy. , although the means of this policy are too rough, but when the central court is powerful, these people have to obey, which is a virtuous circle.

But for these tyrants, this is a policy of destroying their families, and they even fight against the imperial court because of this.

After all, the imperial court wanted their lives, and it was really shameless to expect them to be loyal.

Zhao Wang was also a little shocked that he said it directly. Shouldn't this kind of thing be a direct letter to force them to move?

Before he died, he gathered these people together and told them that I am coming to kill you.

This is too fastidious.

"Your Majesty!"

Someone couldn't bear it anymore, and stood up straight away and said, "Your Majesty, is he going to kill me?"

Luo Jing smiled and said: "To guard the mausoleum for the late emperor is an act of loyalty to the imperial court. Why do you say that?"

This sentence directly made everyone unable to hold back. Even King Zhao's face began to twitch. He also lived in Chang'an back then. Of course, His Majesty the Emperor would not care about these foreign tyrants.

However, when outsiders without roots come to Guanzhong, where there are nobles and relatives of the emperor, they are not fat sheep at the mercy of others.

"Your Majesty!"

Immediately, countless people couldn't help but feel grief and indignation. People in this era are quite bloody, and blood will be splashed on the spot if there is a disagreement.

Luo Jing didn't seem to feel the chilling murderous intent coming from them, he still smiled and said: "Be safe and don't be impatient, if it's what you think, just send a letter directly, do you dare not go?
But His Majesty is kind and unwilling to force you to relocate and leave your homeland, so he ordered me to persuade you and discuss it carefully. "

Laughing and laughing, but it makes people feel like falling into an ice cellar, there is even a faint smell of blood and the sound of sharp metal and stone in the words, if you want to kill you, do you need to waste so much effort?
This pot of cold water directly calmed everyone down. Yes, before, the orders were sent directly to the counties and kingdoms, and then they started to migrate, but now it was Luo Jing who came in person.

Who is Luo Jing?

That was the closest courtier of His Majesty the Emperor, and basically he represented the Emperor's will when he came out on horseback.

The emperor has been in charge for these years, and he has always acted with kindness. He used his broad mind and noble character to influence the people of the world, just like the king of Chu who was moved by His Majesty's kindness and took the initiative to take his own life.

The quick-witted person reacted quickly, bowed down and said loudly: "We are stupid, please show me!"

Luo Jing slowly put away his smile, and said lightly: "The reason why you people are able to sit here today is because although you are rich, you seldom steal and collude with officials, so I am willing to see you.

If it was all the wealth obtained by squeezing the people, your homes would have been confiscated and exiled long ago.

listen.

Your Majesty wants to select a group of children with outstanding literary talents or skills from among the big clans in Shandong, and fill them into the palace as Lang Guan. Lang Guan is a candidate for a servant. .

But the big man naturally has the rules of the big man. His Majesty knows that you are all big families with a large population, so you are required to prepare enough family assets for the Lang Guan who enters the palace, and the relatives of the Lang Guan should also be taken to Chang'an.

Your Majesty wants to build a large county around the imperial mausoleum. In order to make the county prosperous as soon as possible, it is necessary for the world's powerful families to settle in it.

Your Majesty has always been fair, and will not steal your wealth by chance. If you are willing to relocate, Your Majesty will remember your achievements. You all know that I am a big man who became an official.

Your Majesty said that there are temples for the sons and daughters in Shandong, and there are also more hundreds of families in Shandong. It is a place of brilliant culture and has a lot of talents. In addition to selecting Langguan, the inspectors should also pay attention to the children of Shandong. If you are willing to move In recent years, the prosecution will also open the door to convenience. "

Every time Luo Jing said a word, the light in everyone's eyes lit up.

"Your Majesty, the Wang family is willing to move to Guanzhong."

Immediately, some people became enthusiastic. Luo Jing said it nicely. Migration is completely voluntary. Whoever believes is stupid. Now migrating can also gain royal relations. If you don't agree, you are stupid.
