Lu Qi knew what he was doing, and he knew what he had changed. He changed some things in the Empire's technology line, such as building a steam engine in advance, but what he was most satisfied with was changing some of Lu Yi's thoughts.

The choice of the Lu Council to purge is nothing more than a sense of insecurity, believing that the strength of the Xungui group will threaten the imperial power. That is an authentic Tian~ Dynasty people will have, after all, the centralization of imperial power in the Tian~ Dynasty has been implemented for more than 2,000 years, and then because the emperor's throne is unique and has the authority of Tianxian, everyone wants to compete for that throne.

With the steam engine, the construction of the railway will presumably shorten the distance between each administrative region of the empire again and again, for example, without a train, even the cavalry will take three months to reach the farthest frontier of the empire, but with the train, it can save the world to half a month.

What kind of time and where can the army arrive, this is the sense of security that the central government wants, and Lu Qi has enough reason to believe that as long as Lu Yi feels safe, many unnecessary things can be avoided.

In fact, Lu Qi has always been a little depressed, he can't understand where Lu Yi has so much insecurity, the first generation of emperors...... That is, their father, who has constructed a country that seems to be noble and powerful, but is actually a multi-faceted checks and balances.

The benefits that the nobles should have basically obtained, it is not excluded that there are nobles who want people's hearts not to swallow elephants, but the vast majority of the nobles are definitely the ones who do not want the country to fall into chaos, because once the chaos is in chaos, it means that the interests of the class will have to be reshuffled, who dares to guarantee that the process of reshuffling will not be finished, or that the interests will be lost?

The facts have also proved this point, Lu Qi clearly remembers that when Lu Yi was purged after ascending the throne, most of the nobles stood on the side of the imperial power, even if the interests of the noble class were damaged, it was still the majority of the nobles who chose to be loyal to the imperial power, and it was only when Lu Yi wanted to destroy the constitutional foundation of the empire that the Xungui group made a fierce backlash, but it never caused a large-scale rebellion.

did not cause a large-scale rebellion, first, the founding Taizu was still alive at that time, although he had abdicated, Lu Zhe was still a giant curtain in the sky of the country, even if he had great ambitions, who would dare to act rashly; The second reason is inseparable from the first one, because Taizu is still there, even if the national defense force has generals who are ready to move, but they really don't dare to get involved in domestic affairs, they can only strictly follow the constitution and not point the finger at the country, so that Lu Yi can master the largest violent organization in the country to occupy an absolute advantage, and the largest violent organization in the country is the forbidden army; The third reason is that Lü Yi only hit the interests of some nobles and feudal states, and the new merchant group not only did not suffer losses, but seemed to have made some profits.

In fact, Lu Qi has always wanted to tell Lu Yi that Xungui may have changed some of his taste after a long period of comfort and pleasure, but compared to Xungui, businessmen are the public enemies of mankind, especially those businessmen who are seeking political rights, they are definitely the public enemies of any country.

The empire was inherited from the pre-Qin era in ancient times, and the education of the aristocracy was full of "feudalism", in fact, their discipline was really guaranteed, at least in the most basic moral conduct for the superior class and the same class, and was more constrained by a set of rules. Merchants do not have such a thing as moderation, they exist simply for the pursuit of profit, as long as there is enough profit they are willing to sell themselves.

The fact is that Lü Yi weakened the Xungui group and supported the merchant group, but things did not get better......

At least the Xungui group has its own pride and standards, so proud that they will not exploit civilians, they will only compete with people of equal status, just as people will only compete with others, but they will not go out of their way to trample on an ante.

Businessmen are different, after being supported by Lu Yi, they formulate policies that seem to be very beneficial to the country, but in fact they intensify the exploitation of civilians, and then master the mainstream of media communication and carry out seemingly beautiful public opinion propaganda.

Later, Taizu, who was still not dead, intervened, and finally put the country back on track, Lu Yi started a new round of external expansion, and after the fight, it was a kind of atonement for the nation and the country, and immediately abdicated to his son, and since then it has never appeared in the public eye unless it is some major ceremony.

Lu Qi seems to have read some wild history, which is full of strange things, such as a passage about the first generation of emperors scolding the second generation of emperors, saying that the second generation of emperors was brainwashed and stupidized by the "lighthouse country" or something, and that they would play all kinds of evil and uncontrollable corporate capitalism, which is obviously "the dead in the information war in the new era" or something, and they want to play the empire to death.

Not??? Anyway, no one understands what a "lighthouse country" is.

However, according to the records of the wild history, after the second generation of emperors were trained, they kept scolding a department of the X Department of the Central Committee, saying that it was because of the incompetence of those people, the failure to hold the position, and the failure to absorb the results of the rigid bureaucratic style of the Soviet Union.

What is the USSR??? Since then, the people of the empire have checked the history books over and over again, and no matter how much they check the history of China and the empire, they cannot find any record of the word "Soviet Union".

That's really the case, before China was repeatedly devastated by nomads, feudalism was not a derogatory term. It's the kind of contract model where responsibilities and obligations are equal! It's not a mess, and it's not something that can be bullied at will~ humiliation and bullying.

The problem is that Lu Yi didn't understand this, he is just an ordinary person living under the red flag of the Tian~ Dynasty, and he has lived in that environment where money is supreme and officials are supreme for so long, even if he has crossed it once, he has not accepted the fact that the environment is different like Lu Zhe.

How is Lu Yi's life? It was already an era when a fallen grandmother could go to the press union, which shows how much social morality has collapsed. In addition, before he crossed over, the economy of the Tian~ Dynasty was already facing a downturn, and the money was becoming less and less valuable. In big cities, there is no monthly income of tens of thousands of dollars a month, and it is difficult to maintain frugality, and it is difficult for a person to buy a house even if he struggles all his life!

Lu Qi didn't know one thing, the era that Lu Zhe traveled through was earlier, and Lu Yi's era was later, and Lu Zhe grew up in a wealthy family, and Lu Yi was purely a poor sling.

The living environment will create different personalities, which is a long-term subtle thought. No one can deny that letting the country's leaders master the nuclear bomb launcher is just a means of checks and balances, and letting ordinary people master the nuclear bomb launcher will be pressed directly in minutes if they are unhappy!

Lu Qi felt fortunate that Lu Yi was changing. Of course, he knew that Lu Yi didn't know that he was changing, but he was changing, and some things shouldn't have happened. That's Lu Yi's luck, and it's also the country's luck, at least he doesn't have to go through some things that are evaluated as wrong by time.

The pause had been accepted, and in fact the Persian dancers were not bought by Xiao Lu, but by a wealthy merchant.

In other historical stages, wealthy businessmen did not dare to stand up and grab anything from the children of officials, but this is an empire, an empire that has just ended the war of the pre-Qin dynasty in ancient times.

If the royal family wanted to buy it, the merchants probably wouldn't grab it, they knew when to move forward and when to back down. For the children of officials, because the empire has repeatedly emphasized the rule of law, the wealthy merchants know very well that the children of officials cannot bypass the law, as long as the scene is not cleaned up by breaking the rules, even if the children of officials want to retaliate after not being at the scene, they must know who he is.

Although Xiao Lu was depressed, he did not have the psychology of revenge, which has nothing to do with measuring or anything, it is purely not worth it. The royal family is building a country governed by the rule of law, they are enjoying the benefits of the emperor's creation of the law, and the grace that their fathers have worked so hard to accumulate is not so consumed to break the rules that have been made for such a small matter.

"Actually...... Even if the First Emperor wanted to kill someone, it needed to be established within the framework of Qin Law. Lu Yijian saw that Xiao Lu had been sullen after he got back on the road, and said, "That guy is a little bolder, but he is very smart. ”

"yes." Lu Yang started to be in Erlang's legs again, and he kept shaking. He said: "We did that on that occasion to know that we were not so stingy, and to show other businessmen." ”

Don't get it? To put it bluntly, the wealthy businessman knew that the benefits of doing so were greater than the dangers, and he knew what he was doing, and he used those actions to show off to his business competitors, and at the same time, it was also a chance for the royal family and the children of the nobles to promote their reputation. He won the price competition and bought the Persian dancers, proving that the imperial legal system was not a dead letter, and then used himself as an example to prove that the children of the empire's nobles were not lawless.

"Wait, that guy will give you the dancer." Lu Yang shook Erlang's legs, and his tone was extremely determined: "I will give it to you very, very humbly, and then hope to establish a friendship relationship, don't be fooled when the time comes." ”

Xiao Lu immediately smiled when he heard that the Hao Chamber of Commerce sent the Persian dancer over: "That dare is good." I originally wanted to play with them, to be a pioneer for my buddies in how to play Persian women in the future. The words seem a little strange, but it doesn't mean that children are not suitable, he really thinks so, and even plans to go to Chang'an to take a look at the human market to see if he can buy a Persian woman.

Sure enough, just like Lu Yang said, not long after starting again, he entered the territory of Sanchuan County and rested again, and the previous wealthy merchant really gave those Persian dancers to Xiao Lu, and as Lu Yang said, the wealthy merchant was extremely enthusiastic to establish a friendship relationship with Xiao Lu.

"The third brother is sometimes very smart, but he always doesn't think in the right place." Lu Yi specially invited his eldest brother Lu Qi to spread around the camp. He said with some amusement: "I don't know what's going on, his personality is too out-of-the-box, and his ideas are also strange." ”

Lu Qi didn't want to complain anymore, he knew that Lu Yi had placed an "eye" next to each of his brothers, how could he not know how Lu Yang became like that. But knowing that he knew it, he didn't show it, he said, "Wajima is a magical place, isn't it?" ”

"Hahaha, hahahaha!" Lu Yi smiled slightly exaggeratedly, causing the warriors who were protecting him to turn their heads to look at him. He laughed so hard that he couldn't straighten up until he calmed down and said, "Yes! Wajima is a very magical place, and nothing happens there as a surprise. ”

In fact, except for some aborigines who hid in the deep mountains and forests, most of them were either killed or captured.

You must know that the Wa Islands are now a large repository of gold and silver for the Empire, and since they are constantly digging gold and silver mines from the Wa Islands, they must need manpower.

In order to save costs, as the governor of the Japanese archipelago, Kuaitong was strongly in favor of the use of local natives, and seemed to give a lot of examples, saying that there would be no unsuitability and that the Japanese slaves were obedient and hardworking. He made it even more clear that he should not send those monkeys caught from the South Seas to the Japanese Islands, saying that he had never seen more lazy garbage than those monkeys, and that he would rather be hacked to death in his sleep and laziness than be diligent in a little bit.

That said, there is a reason why the monkeys are lazy. They live in the subtropics, where in some ways there is no shortage of food. Who can pick fruits to eat when they are hungry since they were a child, grow food and scatter seeds at will, and who can be diligent and happy without the pressure of life?

"It's better not to have too many people on that island, and the empire must not relax its control on that island." Lu Yi asked more casually: "You said yes, right?" ”

Lu Qi felt a little inexplicable, he carefully recalled, the Japanese Islands have always been the largest source of precious metals in the empire, in the long history of the empire, the Japanese Islands have never happened anything special, even if the monkeys in the South Seas have jumped for a moment or two, the Japanese Islands have always been relatively calm.

After another small temptation, Lu Yi's heart became more and more confused. He often tests himself, the big brother who can make steam engines. This big brother of his, not only knows how to make steam engines, but also knows a lot of things. He knew that his eldest brother was definitely a "peer", but in the long-term temptation, Lu Qi had no special reaction to some very common sense words and stories, and it seemed that he didn't pretend not to understand or not know, but really didn't know.

Lu Qi said something about the recent scientific research results, and he said it very seriously.

On the other hand, Lu Yi was getting more and more unable to figure it out, and he couldn't figure out what was going on with his big brother. (To be continued.) )
