Most of the Chehou families in Chang'an City were a little frightened when they faced this situation, because this situation was too sudden.

But after the palace gave this decree, it fell into silence, and no other decree came down.

As the Che Hou who had been named by the Holy Decree left Chang'an City one by one, it seemed that everything had returned to peace, as if the previous decree had never appeared.

……

Changle Palace.

Liu Heng and Luo Xin sat opposite each other, he poured wine for Luo Xin, and then said: "Uncle, the treasury has been full all these years, and the belt of string money has rotted, and when you mention the copper coin, it will fall directly to the ground, and the grain in the granary is so much that it even began to rot, and the Han has completely recovered from the turmoil at the end of Qin, this is all your credit."

If you compare the Han Dynasty to a majestic palace, you have already built almost everything, only I am left to hang up the decorations, and it is enough to sew and mend every year, it is obviously your merit, but in the end you have to engrave my name, I am really guilty. ”

Luo Xin took a sip of wine in his glass, shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, you really think too much, the Great Han has just recovered to before the end of Qin."

However, the Qin Dynasty also had years of war, and the conquest of the Xiongnu and the conquest of Lingnan Baiyue were both wars that cost quite a lot, so it was not enough now.

The minister has indeed done a lot of things in the past ten years, but there are still many things that he has not had time to do, and it depends on Your Majesty to do it in the future.

Especially now that the Han lacks a resource, and the ministers don't have time to get it, they need to rely on you and the emperors of later generations. ”

Liu Heng asked suspiciously: "The land of Zhuxia is abundant, the corals of the East China Sea, the snow lotus of the West Mountain, no matter what kind of rare treasures can be obtained, what resources do you need?" ”

Luo Xin said in a deep voice: "A grassland that can raise war horses in large quantities, without such grassland pastures, our cavalry will never be able to develop."

Without cavalry, you will never be able to defeat the Huns on the grassland, this is Han Wumu personally identified, and you must approve of it.

Without cavalry, the Central Plains would have to spend ten times or even a hundred times its strength to defend against those people who came and went like the wind.

The national strength is strong and can be resisted, but once the Central Plains suffers a disaster year, or the Central Plains are homeless, it will not be able to stop.

These people who lead the bow can continue to enter the border pass and plunder, and the final result must be that the Central Plains will be dragged down by the grassland. ”

Liu Heng asked with some confusion when he heard this: "Uncle, the Han Dynasty has tens of millions of people, and the grasslands in the north are only a million people at most, could it be that the people of Zhuxia are ten times more than the Hu people, and they are not their opponents?"

Moreover, the Hu people drink blood, have no civilization, and cannot be compared with the Han Dynasty at all, why is it so powerful? ”

Luo Xin said in a deep voice: "Of course, the Han people are more powerful and advanced than the Hu people, there is no doubt about it.

But the comparison of strength between the two sides involves the difference in the way of survival of the two sides.

Although both sides depend on the plants of the land for their survival, we rely on grains and they rely on pasture to feed their livestock.

Therefore, we build cities on fixed land, open up arable land, store grain in good years, open warehouses to release grain in disaster years, and can also rely on water conservancy facilities to replace the phenomenon of relying on the sky for food to a certain extent.

However, the Hu people live by water and grass, completely dependent on the calm wind and waves on the grassland, once they encounter a disaster, there is no way to resist it, so they can only go south to enter the Kou.

Just like this house now, we are the ones who built this hall, and what the Hu people did was to light a fire and then leave immediately, they snatched the treasure, and we lost everything, and we had to rebuild the house in order to survive in this world, and so on and on, we couldn't consume the Hu people at all. ”

Liu Heng frowned deeply and said, "Is there no way?"

The reason why the Hu people have not entered the Kou in these years is because there have been no major natural disasters on the grassland, but it is impossible to continue like this in the future, so what should I do at that time? ”

Luo Xin muttered: "At present, the only way is to learn the methods of the Hu people on the grassland, establish cavalry, find out the situation on the grassland, and then directly rush to the grassland to fight the Hu people."

The Hu people are not our opponents, and they will definitely avoid the war.

But it doesn't matter, the livestock on the grassland eat regularly, as long as they follow the rivers and pastures, they can be attacked.

Especially in summer and winter, they will carry out the transfer of pastures, that time is the best time for us to attack, without livestock, the Hu people will not have food, they will not survive.

Your Majesty, although the victory over the Hu people is inevitable, you must pay attention to one point, when there is no commander who can defeat the enemy, do not start a war against the Xiongnu at will.

The war against the Xiongnu will definitely cost a lot of manpower and material resources, but don't keep blindly seeking annihilation, otherwise the gains of dragging down the Han will outweigh the losses. ”

Liu Heng nodded when he heard this, "I know." ”

Luo Xin looked at the handsome young man in front of him, and said: "Your Majesty, according to the minister's calculations, in about three years, the imperial court will be able to start taking back the coinage right.

Now that the princes and kings no longer have the ability to resist the imperial court, especially the submission of the state of Wu, this is not a particularly difficult thing, and it is left to you to do it, which can enhance your prestige.

After recovering the right to mint coinage, we must be cautious in minting coins in the future, try our best to maintain the quality of coins for a few years, and do not issue small coins indiscriminately.

In recent years, the people of the world have just lived some peaceful days, and the harm caused by the indiscriminate distribution of small money is even greater than that of war.

You are a benevolent monarch, and the ministers believe that you will not do this, and the emperors of future generations will do their best to educate them well. ”

Luo Xin's words are very sincere, Liu Heng has been by Luo Xin's side all these years, and he deeply understands how important a role money can play in national politics, and it is not a simple sentence that can be solved by "valuing agriculture and ignoring business".

These are some words like explaining the future, which makes Liu Heng understand that this is Luo Xin's preparation to return to power, so he is explaining his future national affairs, so he listens very seriously.

This is all the experience of an uncrowned king who has been in charge of the country for decades, and it is an invaluable asset.

The more he listened to Liu Heng's eyes, the brighter he became, and he couldn't help but say the sentence that he had said countless times again, "If you can still assist me again, how good it would be." ”

Luo Xinyan smiled, "Each generation has its own capable people, and the minister is not the most outstanding among the Luo clan, and without the assistance of his brother in the past two years, he has followed the rules and done things."

You are gifted and intelligent, and you will be able to accomplish great things, and you should not be overshadowed by your brilliance. ”

……

After Luo Xin left Changle Palace, he did not leave the palace directly, but went to Weiyang Palace first.

Zhang Yan has gradually calmed down as she has grown older over the years, looking at Luo Xin, who rarely sets foot in Weiyang Palace, and asked, "The prime minister has come here, but is there anything important?" ”

Luo Xin looked at the palace with some nostalgia, and said with emotion: "Queen Mother, in the past, the minister was here as the prime minister to assist Empress Gao in governing the country, and now twenty or thirty years have passed, and time flies really fast."

Chen remembers that you were also chosen by Empress Gao as the queen of the first emperor here, her choice is very correct, you are an excellent queen and queen mother, and you also gave birth to a holy monarch like Your Majesty, which is your credit to the Han Dynasty. ”

Zhang Yan also felt a little emotional when she heard this, she felt that Luo Xin seemed to want to say something, but she didn't have such a sensitive political sense, and there was a flash of inspiration in her mind, but when she thought about it carefully, it was chaos.

Seeing this, Luo Xin said directly: "Queen Mother, the minister came here today because the minister is old, and His Majesty is about to be crowned. ”

Zhang Yan's eyelids jumped, this is a very normal behavior, and when Luo Xin drove the Liuhou Mansion out of Chang'an, he left this back door.

Luo Xin sighed with emotion: "Queen Mother, the minister has a word of persuasion.

If you are not cautious, you can still shelter when you are alive, and once you can't shelter, the family will usher in a crisis of overturning.

You see the Lu family in the past, when Queen Gao was regent, the power was not unimpressive, and the people who walked in and out were like the children of the royal family, but once Queen Gao was about to die, she immediately bowed down and became small, and even left one or two people to contact in Chang'an, and the rest returned to the ancestral land of Shandong, relying on the merits of the ancestors to guard the ancestral industry.

I'm really worried.

What should I do if the people in the Liuhou Mansion don't understand this truth and have a conflict with Your Majesty?

The minister does not want a holy monarch like Your Majesty to end up with the reputation of being jealous of foreign families, which is too unfair to Your Majesty. ”

Zhang Yan was very moved when she heard this, and sighed lightly: "Prime Minister, your family has a history of more than a thousand years and has never declined, this is probably wisdom."

What you said is right, this is something that Yu has never considered, Yu will do what you said, the Liuhou Mansion is destined to be Xuanhe, it should be low-key, it is a good thing for the royal family and the family. ”

Luo Xin saw that Zhang Yan listened to his words, and he was satisfied, so he got up and said goodbye.

Dong Ahou Luoxin was a model of virtuous, capable, and loyal ministers in ancient Chinese history, and he was the first courtier of the Luo clan to be a true regent in a foreign dynasty, and in this respect even surpassed his ancestor Luo Wengong, who was recognized as the first minister in the pre-Qin era.

He treated the young emperor with courtesy for decades, as kind as a father, he worked hard to govern the country, reformed the shortcomings since the Qin Dynasty, and tirelessly fought for the unification of the dynasty.

In the Han Dynasty, his name was a kind of benchmark, and every politician who had a prosperous rule of chaos took Dong Ahou Luoxin as an idol, and even became a kind of incarnation. ——"The History of the Rise and Fall of the Han Dynasty"
