Chapter 50: The Change of Fengguan
Luo Hao was doing foreign business at the border. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
In the early days, I suffered all kinds of hardships. Even if the prime minister has given enough use in the early stage, but if he really wants to run the business, where will he win the recognition and trust of others if he does not go into battle in person?
He has walked through the grasslands, to the Western Regions, and to the tribes. He almost died in the vast wasteland.
The experience of being born and dying several times made Luo Hao gradually understand one thing. One why can the prime minister sit in the imperial capital safely, enjoying the money that he Luo Hao has worked so hard to earn back, but he has worked hard for many years, but he has not gained any extra gains. Such a thing, it's not fair.
Luo Hao knew that this kind of unfairness was only because the prime minister was the master in name and he was a servant.
However, when his business grew and he had his servants and subordinates, and when the maidens he bought back were on their knees calling him master.
Luo Hao's heart was born with unprecedented pleasure. It's much more enjoyable than meeting business needs.
He had never felt anything like this. He felt that he had found the meaning of life. From then on, he no longer wanted to be a servant. He wants to stand in the same position as his own master, control the life and death of others, and be called by others, master!
In this world, there are only two ways to make an ordinary pariah become a master, and one is to have strong force. Of course, if Luo Hao could really do it, he would not be sent out to do business. And then there's the great wealth you have.
Money is a universal resource for society.
The value of production is created by ordinary people and circulated by merchants. The more money you have, the more resources you have. Whether it is a warrior or a powerful person, it is impossible for them to live without relying on resources.
So when you have a certain amount of resources, you naturally have the power to use force, and even power.
Luo Hao hired warrior guards, and he used money to buy officials. In Fengcheng, his authority is not even under the authority of the official lord. Although it can't be compared to the palace and the Fire Phoenix Army, at the level of ordinary people, Luo Hao is simply one of the people at the top of Fengcheng's food chain.
Although, Luo Hao gradually became more beautiful, but the shadow of the prime minister is still there. He was always thinking about getting rid of this master. However, there was no way back for him. In the Xia Kingdom, betraying the prime minister is nothing more than an act of death. The prime minister's authority is very great, and it is easy to mobilize the power of the state to get rid of him, and he will have no power to resist at all.
And when he established a connection with the state of Chu, all this was different. When the state of Chu expressed its willingness to accept itself, and even willing to promise a heavy position. Luo Hao's irrepressible heart moved.
However, this alone cannot ensure that Luo Hao has a foolproof way out. He has more to prepare, and this intelligence deal on the prairie will help him do that.
Therefore, Luo Hao attaches great importance to the transaction with Duolun. He knew that once he made up his mind, then this would be his last business as a merchant in the Xia Kingdom, a business that would be enough to change his fate.
He personally took the guide and wanted to find out the passage of this dangerous place by himself. He had to make a deal with Duolun in person to ensure that the other party's wealth was paid in full. It's a good thing if you don't succeed. He even made arrangements for the future, such an adventure cannot be risk-free.
But Luo Hao is confident that he can change his fate in one fell swoop.
Luo Hao took the guide and went to the road between the grassland and the Central Plains as the other party said. This time, he called all the die-hard guards around him, which were the elite sergeants assigned to him by the Chu State, and they all swore to protect Luo Hao's safety, which also gave him a little security guarantee for this operation.
It took him more than ten days to successfully walk through this path under the guidance of his guide. Looking at the mountain road in front of him, which was already thirty miles away, Luo Hao's heart was very excited, he knew that the goal he had been looking forward to was about to be achieved.
As soon as he walked out of the path, Luo Hao's first order was to kill this guide immediately.
He had already memorized the road according to the guidance of this guide, and the news recorded on the map that was not recorded was also keenly recorded by Luo Hao. It can be said that he is now eighty percent sure that he can enter the Central Plains with the army of the steppe through the passage.
This intelligence, or this ability, is his most important means of preserving his life.
Whether the grassland people can be trusted or not, Luo Hao doesn't know, but now he is the only one who clearly knows how to walk, what to pay attention to, and how to move forward. Without him, it would have been impossible for the steppe people to walk through this path. This large-scale invasion of the steppes will go bankrupt.
Neither Doron nor anyone else could afford such a responsibility. As long as they still want to invade the Central Plains, they can't kill Luo Hao, who knows the way.
However, if there is another guide who knows the way, then the meaning of one's existence becomes less significant.
Killing the guide, Luo Hao's face showed a smile in his chest.
"Guys, I won't say anything else. Luo Hao looked at the dozens of guards beside him, "You are all men who have sworn allegiance to me, and now our lives are tied together." So, I just hope that you will be loyal to this trip. If you can successfully complete your mission, then not only will you be rewarded by the Chu State, but I will also be able to give you a valuable reward, which is enough for you to be free for a lifetime!"
"Do you want to be a human being, or do you want to be a street rat?"
The guards glanced at each other, lowered their heads at the same time, and clenched their fists towards Luo Hao.
"Swear to follow Master Luo to the death!"
"Okay!" Luo Hao nodded with satisfaction, and then looked at the camp in the distance below the mountain, which was more than ten miles away from here.
There are sparks there, like stars hanging in the sky. Luo Hao took a few deep breaths.
"Let's go!" Luo Hao shouted.
In the Valkyrie World in 3 BC, Luo Hao, a native of the Central Plains, took dozens of dead soldiers and took refuge in Duolun, the martial prince of the grassland royal court, which was the beginning of historical change. In a hundred years, a thousand years later. Later generations of imperial scholars referred to the present scene as the cause of the empire.
Because, this is not only the first time, but also the debut of the strongest female general under the empress, and it is also the beginning of the entire empire to solve internal and external troubles.
Although it was initially a foreign attack, scholars believe that this reduced the pressure on the subsequent turmoil in the empire. It is precisely because of the lack of grassland troubles in the subsequent imperial turmoil that after the empress ascended the throne, the empire not only did not decline, but quickly became stronger.
This cause is known as the "Fengguan Change".
