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

Chapter 439 Two and three things about Luo family
The sons of the Luo family, who are always united around the head of the family, are the biggest reliance of the Luo family. Many people lament the fickleness of people's hearts, and lament that there is no eternal loyalty in this world, but in front of the sons of the Luo family, these things all exist in reality.

Just imagine, if you are an emperor, there are more than a dozen brothers and nephews in the clan who can be completely trusted, what kind of concept is this?
The biggest problem with the enfeoffment system is that once the local vassals become strong, they will rebel against the central dynasty, which will lead to catastrophe. But what if the local vassals will never rebel against the central dynasty no matter how powerful they are?

Although the Luo family is not a royal family, the way of survival of the family is the same. The Luo family has countless backgrounds that can solve those wind and frost swords from all over the world, but the secular problems need to be solved by the children of the family.

In terms of family population alone, the Luo family is currently the largest family in Zhuxia!

This is not an exaggeration. Even the Liu family's royal family is inferior to the Luo family in terms of scale. After all, the Luo family has multiplied for thousands of years, while the Liu family has only a short hundred years.

In such a huge clan, the main family has to worry about the basic necessities of the clan members, as well as weddings and funerals, and the position of the branches in the clan.

To give a very simple example, the Luo family has a rule that intermarriage is not allowed within five servings, and the calculation of each branch is at the master's house, so whether intermarriage is allowed needs to be checked by the master's house.

In addition, after these years of research, the Luo family has gradually discovered the disadvantages of inbreeding. Apart from direct descendants, inbreeding among ordinary people will greatly increase the probability of child death and deformity.

People of the Luo clan basically rarely take concubines, and it is unforgivable to cause premature death and deformity of children, so now there is a voice that wants to include cousins ​​in the calculation.

Marriages among nobles outside Zhaocheng are mainly for the purpose of shortening the relationship between the two parties. The Luo clan has no such needs, so the health of the children is the first thing to consider.

Then this is more complicated, because both parents are Luo, so we have to consider it from the branches of both parties.

These are just some trivial things, and the allocation of various resources must be allocated according to contributions, etc. The core is fairness.

It is not easy to maintain this kind of fairness. The ancient clan is not only a shelter for the clansmen, but also an extremely unfair place. There are countless darkness within the clan. All kinds of crimes are unimaginable for modern people if they don't treat their clansmen as human beings.

The early clans were pretty good, the rules were not that big, and the advantages of being attached to the clan outweighed the disadvantages.

But after Neo Confucianism prevailed, it was a real cannibalistic society, where the three cardinal principles and five constant rules were on everyone's head, and the clan members were no longer family members at all, but consumables, the consumables of the master.

Of course Rockwell can't do that.

If it's just extensive management and can't delve into the darkness of those dark places, then the Luo family's ability is enough to manage counties and counties, but if you want to fine-tune every household, you need a sudden increase in ability.

As the saying goes, it is difficult for an upright official to decide on family affairs. It is not easy to deal with various differences among clansmen. It is not easy for most clansmen to agree with the results.

Most of the sons of the Luo family devoted their energy to studying the classics, some of the daughters of the Luo family were studying the classics, and some of them were offering sacrifices to King Su, but maintaining the fairness within the family also consumed a small part of their energy.

The sons and daughters of the Luo family who are above dozens of levels govern the family, even in the era of great development of productivity and the increase in the number of officials in later generations, the overall quality and the number of officials per capita are not as good as the current Luo family. With the now prosperous Zhaocheng Luo family, the family has always been condensed into a rope, united to deal with everything.

This is something that other families cannot learn. This is why Luo Cai and Luo Yi, the sons and daughters of the Luo family, must let their children return to the family.

Wushuang Hou Country is Luo Wuji's Hou Country.

He doesn't care whether the Marquis is still in the hands of his lineage in the future, just like Luo Yi doesn't care about the title of the Marquis of Ying. His uncle, King Zhao Sheng, passed on the position of the main line to him without hesitation. pulse.

This is Rockwell!
The glory and wealth in this world, the princes and princes, are just a fleeting moment. Only the regent can move the son of the Luo family. Besides, the son of the Luo family will eventually return to the embrace of King Su. How about worrying and entanglement instead of taking things with you?
"Patriarch, Young Master Sheng has sent a letter saying that he has not seen Young Master Shi for a long time, so instead of going back to Zhaocheng, he wants to go to Wushuang City in the Western Regions."

Luo Wuji mused after hearing the words: "How many brave fighters are there in the Wushuang Marquis of the Western Regions?"

The steward immediately said: "Patriarch, there are currently 1000 brave warriors in the Western Regions, plus the brave warriors brought by Young Master Sheng, there are a total of [-] or [-] warriors, accounting for [-]% of the family establishment, and there are still [-] brave warriors in the Western Regions. A guardian, it can be said that his strength is extremely strong."

The guardians are spiritual soldiers. The origins of these people are considered mysterious in the Luo family. Except for the Patriarch and the heirs, no one knows the true colors of these people.

1000 or [-] brave warriors, as long as they don't attack the city, this is enough power to conquer all the countries in the Western Regions. Luo Wuji thought for a moment and said: "Six hundred brave warriors will be transferred from the family to the Western Regions. After Ah Sheng returns, only [-] brave warriors will not be enough. It is necessary to ensure the family's military investment in the Western Regions."

As soon as Luo Wuji's words came out, everyone was shocked. The transfer of six hundred brave fighters was not a trivial matter, especially to the Wushuang Marquis.

The princes and princes have different sizes of military power and private armies according to the number of households and the tasks they perform.

There are quite a lot in the Wushuang Marquis, but the scale of private soldiers is still not so large. Six hundred is the limit.

Moreover, the transfer of the six hundred brave warriors is not simply a matter of transferring people there. It is very troublesome to move to another place in modern society, let alone ancient times.

If the soldiers dare to go there, their wives must follow. At a small scale, this is a big move by six hundred families. At a large scale, it involves many branches. Who will temporarily hand over the land after these people leave? To farm, this is a more troublesome thing.

Of course Luo Wuji understood this, and said in a deep voice: "Dawan Kingdom wants to destroy the trade route, and all the managers are aware of the importance of this trade route to the family.

It was precisely because of this that A Shi wanted to take action against Dawan Kingdom, but Dawan Kingdom was not a simple opponent.

When I was guarding the Western Regions, it was a big country with a population of 60. With the opening of trade routes these years, Dawan must have become more prosperous.

Fortunately, we have established a firm foothold in the Yishui River Valley. The distance between the two sides is very close, and we can break into Dawan City in a short time. Otherwise, we will send troops from the four Hexi counties to Dawan. "

Everyone agreed with Luo Wuji's words. The logistics and difficulty of marching troops from Chang'an or the four Hexi counties were completely different from sending troops from Wusun.

In history, Li Guangli, the second forced general, led an army to conquer Dawan, and the soldiers died before they reached the point. This is simply outrageous.

The Tang Dynasty was different. Although the Tang Dynasty was not a feudal system, the Jiedushi was a different kind of border vassal. Let’s not talk about the damage this system did to the country’s politics. The force alone was quite abundant.

Fighting the barbarians in the surrounding area is low-cost and highly effective. When Bang Zhou opened up the world and wiped out the barbarians, he also stationed heavy troops in the remote borders. Local rebellions were resolved locally.

This is the advantage of the enfeoffment system!
"Although there is a geographical advantage, facing a powerful enemy like Dawan, even if you mobilize the power of the Protectorate of the Western Regions, you still have to go all out if you want to win."

"Patriarch, with so many brave warriors transferred to the Western Regions, if something happens, it will be a pain that the family cannot bear.

The war with the Xiongnu caused a lot of damage to the family. It took many years to recover, and now it is going to war with the great powers in the Western Regions.

The brave warriors still have to deal with the royal family and the dignitaries who are malicious to the Luo family. Our Luo family is a thorn in the flesh of countless people. Without the guards of the brave warriors, the status of the family will be greatly reduced and unstable. Hope You can be more cautious. "

The steward said worriedly, and everyone around heard the same expression on their faces. The main function of the brave fighters is to deter the little ones. Don't underestimate the strength of thousands of troops. Li Shimin's Xuanjia army is only three thousand.

Luo Wuji pondered for a while when he heard the words, it was necessary to transfer troops to the Western Regions, because the Western Regions were more important to the Luo family than to the Han court.

Emperor Xiaowu is an emperor who likes to expand the territory, so with his strong support, Luo Wuji took the resources of the Han court to open up a part of the Western Region.

But not every emperor likes to open up borders and expand land. For another emperor, he may not be interested in the wild land thousands of miles away, or most emperors are not interested. After all, the colorful world in the Central Plains is beautiful enough. Now, why invest resources in that kind of place.

This is the preciousness of Emperor Xiaowu.

For Han Ting, losing the Western Regions is just a loss, but for the Luo family this is unacceptable. In this case, the Luo family must invest a lot.

But it's even more a joke to shed the blood of the family directly in the Western Regions, this is a prosperous time!

If under such circumstances, the Luo family must bleed to death, then when the Central Plains is in chaos and unable to look west, will the Luo family still have to die directly?
Luo Wuji couldn't help but think that the number of spiritual soldiers is too small unfortunately. If there are hundreds of spiritual weapons, a cavalry army stationed in the Western Regions directly, without the need for brave soldiers to change defenses, would be great.

"Eh?"

Thinking to this point, Luo Wuji seemed to suddenly think of something. He suddenly remembered that there was a very special artifact of destiny in the family heritage, which happened to be applied at this time!
