Chapter 18: Luo's Two or Three Things

Always united around the head of the family, Luo's is Luo's biggest reliance, how many people sigh that people's hearts are changeable, lamenting that there is no eternal loyalty in this world, but in front of Luo's son, these things are real.

Just imagine, if you are an emperor and there are more than a dozen brothers and nephews in the clan who can be completely trusted, what kind of concept is this?

The biggest problem with the feudal system is that once the local feudal states become strong, they will rebel against the central dynasty and cause great disasters, but what if the local feudal states, no matter how strong they are, will never rebel against the central dynasty?

Although the Luo clan is not a royal family, the survival of the family is the same, the Luo clan has countless backgrounds that can solve those wind and frost swords from everywhere, but the worldly things need to be solved by the children of the family.

Purely in terms of family population, the Luo clan is currently the largest family in the entire Zhuxia!

This is not an exaggeration, even the Liu royal family is inferior to the Luo family in terms of scale, after all, the Luo family has multiplied for thousands of years, while the Liu family has only been a short hundred years.

Such a huge clan, from the small food, clothing, housing, transportation, weddings and funerals of the clansmen, to the position of the branches in the clan, all have to be worried about by the main family.

To give a very simple example, Luo's has a rule that no intermarriage is allowed within the five suits, and the calculation of each branch is here in the main family, so whether it can be intermarried needs to be checked by the main family.

In addition, after years of research, Luo's gradually discovered the disadvantages of consanguineous marriage, in addition to the lineage, the probability of inbred marriage of ordinary clansmen will greatly increase the probability of child death and deformity.

The people of the Luo clan basically rarely take concubines, and it is unforgivable to cause the death and deformity of children, so now there is a voice to put cousins in the calculation as well.

The marriage between close relatives of the nobles outside Zhaocheng is mainly to bring the relationship between the two parties closer, and the Luo clan does not have this need, so the health of the children is the first thing to consider.

Then this is even more complicated, because both parents have Luo, and it is necessary to consider from the branches of both sides.

This is just a trivial matter, and the allocation of various resources must be distributed according to contributions, etc., and the core lies in fairness.

It is not easy to maintain this kind of fairness, the ancient clan is not only the place where the people are sheltered, but also an extremely unfair place, there are countless darkness within the clan, and it is nothing to eat the household, many clans do not regard the clan as a human being, and all kinds of evils are unimaginable to modern people.

The early clans were quite good, the rules were not so big, and the advantages of clinging to the family outweighed the disadvantages.

But after the prevalence of science, it was a real cannibalistic society, and the three outlines and five constants were pressed on everyone's heads, and the clansmen were no longer family members at all, but consumables, consumables for the main family.

That certainly can't be the case with Lowche.

If it is only extensive management and cannot delve into the darkness of those dark places, then Luo's ability is enough to manage the county, but if you want to be fine to every household, the ability required will be greatly improved.

As the saying goes, it is difficult for a clean official to decide family affairs, and it is not easy to deal with all kinds of differences between clansmen, and it is not easy to get the majority of clansmen to approve the results.

Most of Luo's children's energy is spent on studying the classics, and some of the Luo's daughters are studying the classics, and some are sacrificing to King Su, but maintaining fairness within the family also consumes a small part of their energy.

Dozens of Luo's sons and Luo's women governing the family, even in the era of the great development of productive forces in later generations and the great increase in the number of officials, the overall quality and per capita number of officials are not as good as the current Luo's, so there is now a prosperous Zhaocheng Luo's family, and the family has always been condensed into a rope, united to deal with all.

This is something that other families can't learn, and this is why Luo Cai and Luo Yi, the sons and daughters of the Luo family, must let their children return to the family.

The Wushuang Marquis is the Marquis of Luo Wuji.

He didn't care if this marquis country was still in his hands in the future, just like Luo didn't care about the title of the Ying marquis, his eldest uncle, Zhaosheng King, did not hesitate to pass on the position of the main vein to his vein.

That's Rockwell!

The glory and wealth of this world, the princes and princes, are just passing clouds, only the regent can move Luo's son, in addition, Luo's son will eventually return to King Su's arms, why worry about these things that are not brought in life and not brought in death?

"The head of the family, Gongzi Sheng sent a letter saying that he hadn't seen Gongzi for a long time, so he wouldn't go back to Zhaocheng first, and he would go to Wushuang City in the Western Regions."

Hearing this, Luo Wuji groaned: "How many daring warriors are there in the Peerless Marquis of the Western Regions now? ”

The steward immediately said: "The head of the Qiyu family, there are currently six hundred daring warriors in the Western Regions, plus the daring warriors brought by Gongzi Sheng, there are a full 1,200 people, accounting for forty percent of the family establishment, and there are also twenty guardians in the Western Regions, which can be said to be extremely strong." ”

The guardians are spirit soldiers, and the origins of these people are all mysterious among the Luo clan, except for the head of the family and the heir, no one knows the true face of these people.

1,200 daring warriors, as long as it is not a siege, this is enough to conquer the countries of the Western Regions, Luo Wujian thought for a moment and said: "Another 600 daring warriors will be transferred from the family to the Western Regions, and after Ah Sheng comes back, only 600 daring warriors will not be enough, and it is necessary to ensure the family's military investment in the Western Regions." ”

As soon as Luo Wuji's words came out, everyone was shocked, the transfer of six hundred daring warriors was not a trivial matter, especially the transfer to the Wushuang Marquis Kingdom.

The princes and princes had different sizes of military power and private armies according to the number of feudal households and the tasks they performed.

The Wushuang Marquis is considered to be relatively large, but the scale of private soldiers is still not so large, six hundred is the limit, if it is exceeded, it must be done by the Son of Heaven, or transferred in a different name.

Moreover, the transfer of 600 daring soldiers is not simply a matter of transferring people over, and it is very troublesome for modern society to move to other places, let alone ancient times.

If they dare to go over, then their wives will definitely follow, at least this is a big move by 600 families, and at a large level, it involves a lot of branches, and after these people leave, the land will be temporarily handed over to who will cultivate, which is a more troublesome matter.

Of course, Luo Wujian understood this, and said in a deep voice: "Dawan Kingdom wants to destroy the trade route, and the importance of this trade route to the family is known to all the stewards.

It is precisely because of this that Ah Shi wants to make a move against Dawanguo, but Dawanguo is not a simple opponent.

When I was in the Western Regions, it was a large country with a population of 600,000, and in recent years, the trade routes have been opened, and Dawan must have become even more prosperous.

Fortunately, we have gained a firm foothold in the Yishui River Valley, and the distance between the two sides is very close, so we can break into Dawan City overnight, otherwise we will be able to transfer troops from the four counties of Hexi to Dawan, and I am afraid that we will not be able to defeat it with heavy losses. ”

Luo Wuji's words were very well recognized by everyone, and the logistics and marching difficulty required to transfer troops from Chang'an or the four counties of Hexi were completely different from those from Wusun.

In history, Li Guangli, the second general, led the army to conquer Dawan, and the people were almost dead before the soldiers, which is simply outrageous.

The Tang Dynasty is different, although the Tang Dynasty is not a feudal system, but the Jiedu envoy is an alternative border vassal, not to mention the harm of this system to national politics, the force alone is quite abundant.

Fighting the surrounding barbarians, the cost is low, the effect is high, the original Bang Zhou opened up the world, the barbarians were also stationed in the distant border cantonment, the local rebellion, the local solution.

That's the advantage of the sub-seal system!

"Although there is a geographical advantage, in the face of a strong enemy like Dawan, even if you mobilize the power of the Western Regions Protectorate, you still have to go all out if you want to defeat."

"Family master, so many daring soldiers are transferred to the Western Regions, if something happens, it will be a pain that the family can't bear.

The war with the Xiongnu caused a lot of damage to the family, and it took many years to recover, and now it is about to start a war with the great powers of the Western Regions.

Dare warriors also have to deal with the royal family and the world's powerful people who have malicious intentions towards Luo's, our Luo's is a thorn in the flesh of countless people, without the guard of the dare warriors, the status of the family will be greatly reduced and fall into instability, I hope you can be cautious. ”

The steward said worriedly, and the people around him had the same look on their faces when they heard this, one of the major effects of the daring warriors is to deter the small people, don't underestimate these thousands of troops, Li Shimin's Xuanjia army is only three thousand.

Luo Wujian groaned when he heard this, transferring troops to the Western Regions was something that had to be done, because the Western Regions were more important to the Luo Clan than to the Han Ting.

Emperor Xiaowu was an emperor who liked to expand his territory, so with his strong support, Luo Wujian took the resources of the Han court to open up a part of the Western Regions.

But not every emperor likes to expand his territory, another emperor may not be interested in the wild land thousands of miles away, or most emperors are not interested, after all, the flower world in the Central Plains is beautiful enough, why invest resources in that kind of place.

This is the preciousness of Emperor Xiaowu.

For Han Ting, the loss of the Western Regions is just a loss, but it is unacceptable to Luo's, and in this case, Luo's must invest a lot.

But it would be a joke to directly drain the blood of the family in the Western Regions, this is the time of prosperity!

If in this case, Luo's blood will be exhausted, then when the Central Plains is in chaos and he is unable to look west, will Luo's still die directly?

Luo Wujian couldn't help but think, it's a pity that the number of spirit soldiers is too small, if there are hundreds of spirit weapon artifacts, directly form a cavalry corps stationed forever in the Western Regions, and don't need to dare soldiers to change guards back and forth, it would be good.

"Huh?"

Thinking of this, Luo Wujian seemed to have suddenly thought of something, and he suddenly remembered that there was a very special Heavenly Mandate artifact in the family background, which happened to be applied at this time!
