Handan.

A carriage walked slowly on the bustling street, and among the carriages was Luo Jing, who was inspecting Shandong, looking at the prosperity in front of him, Luo Jing nodded with satisfaction.

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

A few years ago, after the imperial court deprived the clan relatives and feudal countries, it set up money supervision departments in all counties in the world, which were specially used to monitor whether there was any obvious difference in the circulation of money in the market in each county.

Through such strict supervision, although it is impossible to completely eliminate those bad money, it is basically impossible to see those various fraudulent methods.

"Prince, such as today's dozens of counties, the vast majority of them have used the Tianhan money minted by the imperial court, some time ago when the ministers visited the great priest, the great merchant said that last year's imperial court income increased a lot, the benefits of this coinage, it is really terrible, so we can know how much profit those princes in the past years earned."

Luo Jing did not respond when he heard this, but said: "Your Majesty has commuted his sentence and reduced agricultural taxes over the years, although he has greatly restored the economy of the people, but because the administration is too lenient, the merger of the people must be serious, but it is impossible to solve this problem. ”

After saying that, he pulled down the curtain of the carriage, and the carriage fell into silence, only the sound of clattering horses' hooves was heard moving forward.

"The messengers spread out in all directions, recruited the powerful people of the world, and told them that they came to Handan on time to worship, and I have something important to announce, and those who do not arrive will bear the consequences."

Before Luo Jing came to Handan, he had already sent a conscription letter to many powerful clans, asking them to come to Handan on time to be summoned.

Among these powerful families, many of them are aristocratic branches handed down from the Bang Zhou period, but after successive wars and the Han court's leek cutting behavior of Haoqiang, it is far less than before.

However, after all, these people have a collection of books, rich educational resources, and land, and they have developed rapidly, as long as the imperial court is a little less strict, they can basically control the place completely within 20 years.

Knowledge is power and wealth, and it is really vividly embodied in these people.

But in the face of these people, even Luoche has nothing to do.

Because whether they want to admit it or not, these cultured, enterprising, and powerful people are the most powerful people in Zhuxia at present.

If the Han court could promise them benefits, these people could even prepare their own arms to overthrow the barbarians.

Luo's has always pursued the principle of not only strengthening the branches but also ensuring the unity of the country, and maintaining the vitality of the branches, if there is a problem with the main stem, the branches can quickly grow into a new trunk.

The roots of this idea come from the book written by Ji Zhao.

In the last years of the Ming Dynasty, the imperial court was defeated, but the lower-class clans were atomized to the point that they could not support the growth of Haojie.

There was no situation in which the local scholars supported the princes, and the Qing court, an outsider, almost overwhelmingly accepted the entire scholar system.

This is a sight never heard of in thousands of years!

You must know that even in the era of the decaying gate valve aristocracy, the Eastern Jin Dynasty was able to beat the north full of bags, although the Northern Expedition dragged its feet, but at least there was no problem in defending the land, but as a result, thousands of years later, the scholars could not even defend the land.

It can only be said that Dr. Song Mingshi is more greedy but more incompetent than Han and Tang Haoqiang, at least the Han and Tang clans go to war and govern the people, and they really have a few brushes in their hands.

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

In this day and age, the most powerful resource is land, which can produce and support people.

Land annexation is irreversible, depending on the nature of the regime, and can only be mitigated as much as possible.

Because the royal family itself is annexing land, how can it be in charge of others?

The Haoqiang summoned by Luo Jing were not those simple big businessmen, because most of those businessmen were still in a dependent position, and the people he summoned were all people who had become some minor officials in the county and had extremely rich assets in their families.

For Luo Jing's summons, these people only have fear in their hearts, because Luo Jing came from Chang'an, and his status is too high, far from being comparable to them, and in the face of this kind of person, the slightest carelessness will lead to disaster.

……

Luo Jingzheng greeted King Zhao.

After the split country, today's King Zhao is no longer the prince king who can control the military of the entire Yan State and the countries of the country.

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

The palace was already filled with great families from all counties.

These people travel north and south on weekdays, some people know each other, and some people even have grudges, but in this place, they all hold their minds, and they all want to know if anyone knows some inside story.

King Zhao accompanied Luo Jing into the main hall, and everyone stood up and saluted.

Luo Jing looked around for a long time and said, "Summoning you here today is an extremely important event, and you need to contribute to the imperial court.

There are three Han Emperor Mausoleums outside Chang'an, for the Taizu Emperor Gao Mausoleum, Empress Gao Mausoleum, Renzong Xiaohui Emperor Mausoleum, a few days ago when His Majesty went to worship, once sighed that the three imperial tombs were sparsely populated, so he shed tears, saying that it was because of his unfilial piety that the ancestors were so lonely.

Until the end of the service, His Majesty was still sentimental.

As a courtier, seeing that the king is in trouble but not helping, this is not what a courtier should do.

As a courtier, seeing his brother sad but not comforting, it is not enough to call filial piety.

I left Chang'an and came to Shandong to see Er and other loyal ministers, just for His Majesty the Emperor. ”

As soon as Luo Jing said this, the faces of those powerful clans had already changed greatly, and they were even frightened.

Lingyi!

This is the word that all the heroes of the whole Han have heard of it.

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

From the point of view of later generations, the Lingyi system is like a leek, harvesting the Haoqiang of the various counties of the Han Dynasty one by one, and constantly preventing Haoqiang from sitting on the local side, which is an extremely progressive policy, although this policy is too rough, but when the central court is strong, these people have to obey, which is a virtuous circle.

But for these Haoqiang, this is a policy of destroying their families and destroying their families, and even confronting the imperial court because of this.

After all, the court wants their lives, and it still expects them to be loyal, which is indeed a bit too shameless.

King Zhao was also a little shocked to say it directly, shouldn't this kind of thing be a direct decree to force them to migrate?

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

That's too much.

"Prince!"

Someone couldn't help it, and got up directly and said, "Is the prince going to kill me?" ”

Luo Jing said with a smile: "Guarding the tomb for the first emperor is a loyal act to the imperial court, why did Your Excellency say this?" ”

This sentence directly made everyone unable to hold back, and even King Zhao's face began to twitch, he also lived in Chang'an back then, and of course His Majesty the Emperor would not care about these foreign heroes.

But when the outsiders who have no foundation come to the Guanzhong, where the nobles and relatives of the emperor are everywhere, it is not a fat sheep to be slaughtered.

"Prince!"

Directly, several people couldn't help but be sad and angry, people in this era are quite bloody, and blood will be splashed on the spot if they don't agree.

Luo Jing didn't seem to feel the cold murderous intent coming from them, and still smiled: "Don't be impatient, if it's really as you think, you will directly send a will, do you dare not go?"

However, Your Majesty is merciful and unwilling to force you to move and leave your homeland, so you have ordered me to persuade you to have a good discussion. ”

Laughing and laughing, but it makes people fall into an ice cellar, and there is even a faint smell of blood and gold and stone in the words, if you want to kill you, you still need to waste so much energy?

This basin of cold water directly calmed everyone down, yes, in the past, it was directly sent to the county kingdom, and then began to migrate, but now it is Luo Jing himself.

Who is Luo Jing?

That is His Majesty the Emperor's closest courtier, basically he represents the emperor's intentions when he goes out.

Over the years, the emperor has always been benevolent in his work, and he has used his broad mind and noble character to influence the people of the world, just like the king of Chu was moved by His Majesty's kindness and took the initiative to end his life.

The nimble-brained person quickly reacted, and directly bowed down and said in a loud voice: "We are stupid, please show the prince!" ”

Luo Jing slowly put away his smile and said lightly: "You people can sit here today because although you are rich, there are few people who take advantage of it and few who collude with officials, so I am willing to see you."

If it had been all wealth obtained by oppressing the people, you would have been exiled long ago.

Listen up.

His Majesty wants to select a group of outstanding scholars or skilled children among the Shandong clans to enter the palace as Lang officials, and Lang officials are the candidates in the service, even if they cannot be appointed as the servants, they are also His Majesty's close ministers.

But the Han naturally has the rules of the Han Dynasty, His Majesty knows that you are all big clans, and the population of the clan is large, so he asks you to prepare enough family resources for the Lang officials who enter the palace, and the relatives of the Lang officials and so on must also be brought to Chang'an.

His Majesty wants to build a large county around the imperial tomb, and in order to make the county prosperous as soon as possible, it is necessary for the powerful families of the world to settle in it.

Your Majesty has always been fair, and will not take advantage of the family assets of the wealthy and others, if you are willing to move, Your Majesty will remember your merits, and you will all know that I am a great man to be promoted to the office.

Your Majesty said, Shandong has the temple of the sons, the same hundred schools out of Shandong, is a brilliant place of Wenhua, there are a lot of talents, in addition to the selection of Lang officials, the inspection should also pay attention to the children of Shandong, if you are willing to migrate, in recent years, the inspection will also open the door to convenience. ”

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

"Prince, the Wang family is willing to migrate to Guanzhong."

Immediately, some people enthusiastic, Luo Jing said it well, whether to migrate or not to migrate is all voluntary, who believes in it is stupid, now the migration can still get the relationship of the royal family, and it is stupid not to agree.
