Luo Sheng left for the Western Regions with concern.

In Zhaocheng, Luo Wuji was lying in the courtyard, lazily basking in the sun, and there were several people in the courtyard, all of whom were the stewards of the family, reporting to Luo Wujian about the worldly situation of the family.

The Principality of Zhao is not a country that can be self-sufficient, and with the area of the Principality of Zhao, it is impossible to afford to raise so many warriors.

The main source of income for the Zhao Principality was business.

The prestige of the thousand-year-old family is really easy to use, and the same bronze mirror is polished and exquisite, and the word Luo is engraved on it, which can cause the crazy robbery of noble women, which is even more outrageous than the top luxury goods in later generations.

Another point is that due to the ancient emphasis on the countryside, the local forces were very strong, and usually the caravans had their own sphere of influence and would not run around.

For example, the caravans in Liaodong did not transport goods to Jiangdong for sale, but in most cases they were transported to Handan or Linzi, and then transported to the south by the caravans from Handan and Linzi.

Luo's caravan has no such concerns, except for the imperial court officials, Luo's caravan is the only caravan that passes the world, if anyone dares to make a move against Luo's, then it depends on whose knife is sharper.

After reporting on the matters related to the paper village, the steward in charge of the family's horse sales said: "The head of the family, the main income of the horse industry this year still comes from Dawan Tianma, accounting for nearly sixty percent. ”

Dawan Tianma is what later generations called the sweat and blood horse, is an extremely good war horse, tall, impact and explosive power is very strong, the only drawback is that it is not suitable for the expedition in the cold weather, so the conquest of the Huns can not be used, nor can it be used for expeditions, expeditions or to use Mongolian horses, which can find food in the ice and snow.

But this kind of war horse, which looks like a miracle horse at a glance, is very popular with the aristocracy and is worth a thousand gold.

Luo's communication with the Western Regions, and the Wushuang Marquis became one of the key links on the ancient Silk Road, not only protecting the passage of the Han Dynasty's caravans, but also being able to do business, and use the profits of the Silk Road to feed the Luo's sub-bases stationed in the Western Regions.

However, a letter came from Gongzishi saying that the king of Dawan heard that Dawan Tianma was popular in Dahan, and the price was extremely high, so he was greedy and wanted to sit on the ground and start the price, and it was said that the price would be doubled directly.

Gongzishi is ready to unite Liu Ba, the king of Wusun, and his allies in the Western Regions, kill the current king of Dawan, and set up a king close to the Han family. ”

Wusun King Liu Ba is the only Liu prince king of the Han family in the Western Regions, the land area is about one-third of the land of the original Wusun King, it is not easy to survive here, Liu Ba can be called the only Luo Shi Ma is the first to look forward, more respectful than the emperor.

Luo Wujian frowned slightly when he heard this, the trade routes of the Western Regions are very important to the family, since the communication with the Western Regions, the family's income has almost doubled, and the commerce of the Han Dynasty has also been greatly circulated, which is a good thing for everyone.

Luo Wujian pondered for a moment and said, "King Dawan is really stupid, it is too dangerous for such a stupid person to stay in such a critical position.

However, the strength of the Wusun Kingdom and the Wushuang Marquis is not enough, so there is no need to take risks.

Write a letter to Ah Shi, directly in the name of protecting the Han caravan, use the tiger talisman of the capital to mobilize the power of the entire Western Regions capital palace, slaughter all the nobles who have a bad feeling towards the Han family, and ensure that Dawan's political tendency will not change for ten years. ”

The autonomy of the Western Regions is very large, after all, Wusun is thousands of miles away from Chang'an, and it is impossible to report everything, which is quite similar to the princes who were ordered by the king in the Bangzhou period, and have independent power to conquer, and only need to send a war report to Chang'an afterwards.

Luo Wuji's murderous words did not stir up any waves, the life of a Yidi king is like a weed that can be seen everywhere on the side of the road, stepping on it, no one will care, the steward just calmly responded "Oh", wrote down the matter, and then went to send a letter.

"Family Master, some affairs about the Peerless Marquis of the Western Regions still need to be determined by you, the number of clansmen who have migrated to the Peerless Marquis has reached 10,000, what should these clansmen do in the future?

There is also the inheritance of the Wushuang Marquis, whether it is like the Yinghou State or the Dong'a Hou Kingdom, this is what Gongzishi asked in the letter. ”

Everyone couldn't help but widen their eyes when they heard this, this is a matter that the whole family is more concerned about, although the head of the family gave an order, even if it was to go to the soup and the sword, they did not hesitate, but fairness has always been the family's creed.

Zhaocheng is the holy land of Luo's family, and it is also one of the most prosperous cities among the kingdoms of Zhuxia.

The Wushuang City of the Wushuang Marquis is a city that has just been opened up and built in the suburbs.

From Zhaocheng to Wushuang City, it is no exaggeration to say that exile is a word.

Not to mention the Wushuang City thousands of miles away, even the four counties of Hexi close to Longxi, except for the people of the Lihou States who went to it, were regarded as penal colonies, and in order to move the people to live there, the money and food spent were too much.

The clansmen of the Luo clan are willing to go to Wushuang City for the family's ideals, but the family can't really leave the clansmen there to finish, it will really become a big joke of "I treat the family as my mother, and the family treats me as a stupid critic".

Luo Wuji said in a deep voice: "The education of the family is the foundation of everything, Zhaocheng is the holy land of the family, every clansman should be born in Zhaocheng, and then accept the blessing of King Su's ancestor."

All marriages that have received the blessing of King Su's ancestors, after their wives are pregnant, they must return to Zhaocheng, even if they can't come back, when the children can embark on a long journey, they must return to Zhaocheng to receive the best education.

Those who are old should also return to Zhaocheng to live in their old age, and then send young clansmen to go, those clansmen who died in the Western Regions for their families and Zhuxia cannot be allowed to bury their bones in other places, and all the bones must be transported back to Zhaocheng for burial, and only one of the gods can be left in the Western Regions.

The descendants of the Western Regions people may not go to the Western Regions when they grow up, and the candidates must be carefully selected, of course, if they go voluntarily, the family will support them.

Remember, there will be no Luo clan in the Western Regions in this world, there will be no Wushuang Luo clan, only the Luo clan people who went to the Western Regions from Zhaocheng to build and defend the town, understand? ”

Because the Wushuang Marquis is too far away from Zhaocheng, and outside the Central Plains, this is the first time in the history of the Luo clan that such a distant branch has appeared, so this question has always haunted the hearts of countless people.

Many clansmen are worried that if they go out to Zhaocheng, they won't be able to come back in the future, just like those other families in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, they can't live in the Luo Kingdom from now on, and now they go to the Wushuang Marquis Kingdom, will they not be considered Luo Clan in the future.

Luo Wuji's words can be regarded as defining this kind of doubt, don't think about it too much, it is impossible, there is only one branch of Zhaocheng Luo's in this world, and the mining is also from the main branch, and it is only one generation, and it will definitely not take root in the mining for several generations in a row, causing centrifugation to the family.

As the head of the family, Luo Wuji knew that Zhaocheng was a somewhat magical city, and living here, his sense of identity with the family was higher than that of living in the outside world, so he would never allow the children of the family not to live in Zhaocheng.

After solving this problem, only the inheritance of the unequaled marquis remains.

After the establishment of the Han Dynasty, due to the great merit, it was not counted as the dukedom of the main line, and only the position of the marquis, Luo's got a total of four and a half, Yinghou, Dong'ahou, Shouguanghou, Wushuanghou, and half of Anyanghou.

The title of Marquis of Anyang is really special, although it is the Han family who inherits the title of Marquis of Anyang now, but this title is a baronet, theoretically this title should be passed on to Luo Cai's daughter, and Luo Cai's daughter married into Luo's family, this title Luo has half of the inheritance, in short, it is more chaotic.

After the death of Luo Jingxu, the entire Dong'a Hou Kingdom was directly divided and assigned to Luo Jing's sons who stayed outside, and the title of Dong'a Hou was the only one that had only been passed down for two generations.

Yinghou State is another special Hou State, after the death of Luo Yixue, the family was directly moved back to Zhaocheng, but Yinghou State has not been abolished, but has always been in a remote control state, has always been under the control of the lineage, once was the Hou State of Wanhu, has always been one of the important sources of income for Luo.

The problem that the Wushuang Marquis is facing now is that after three generations, the stigma will disappear, how to ensure that the Wushuang Marquis will always be an important part of the family.

The answer given by Luo Wujian is: "Just like the old affairs of the Yinghou Kingdom, instead of implementing the succession of father and son in the Wushuang Marquis Kingdom, the family chooses the lineage to inherit the title of the Wushuang Marquis, and each generation must have at least three to five Luo sons go to the Wushuang Marquis to sit in the town, so as to eliminate all possible hidden dangers." ”

In the hearts of everyone, the patriarchal system exists to stabilize the world, but if the patriarchal system affects the family, then it must be abandoned without hesitation.

Moreover, this is not an abandonment of the patriarchal law, the Luo clan is different, as early as the time of Bang Zhou, the inheritance rights of the children of the stigmata were ranked before the children without the stigma.

After all, the Holy Stigmata disciples are Luo, but the non-Stigmata disciples have directly changed their clans, and it is clear who will inherit them.

"Family master, this peerless marquis is canonized by the emperor of the Han family, if he is not willing to let us do this, then what should we do?"

The succession of every prince and prince, even the undisputed heir, must go to Chang'an, wait for the review of Zongzheng Mansion and so on, and the consent of the Son of Heaven before he can inherit the title.

The feudal golden book is something that only the Son of Heaven can issue.

No matter how strong Luo's is, if the jade seal is not in the hands of these treasures of the Son of Heaven, the edicts issued will not be counted, and no one will recognize them.

Luo Wujian said lightly: "The Son of Heaven will agree, this is not harmful to the Son of Heaven."

Even if one or two emperors disagree, it will not affect the overall situation, just wait until he dies.

We have countless conditions that the Son of Heaven can agree to, but the Son of Heaven has only one reason to disagree, and that is that he does not like Luo's.

Moreover, even if the Marquis of Wushuang is not a descendant, the Luo family sent by the family is enough to control the overall situation and will not affect the family's policies. ”
