Luo Qing never expected that he had just returned to the family, and he had not been able to drink a sip of hot tea, so he encountered such a tricky problem.

Then Luo Ling brought him hot tea.

Luo Qing rubbed the teacup, he always felt that the doctor had a good saying.

What can be cured is called disease, and what cannot be cured is called life!

This is not only the human body, but also the body of a dynasty, what can be changed is called a lesion, and what cannot be changed is the life of the dynasty.

Luo's knows that there is a destiny in this world, and nothing in the world can escape the shackles of destiny.

However, the old ancestor also said that only if the strength of a person is strong enough, he can defeat the Mandate of Heaven.

For example, Bang Zhou millennium is a typical anti-sky.

Another example is that the Xiongnu originally had a mandate of heaven, and in real history, the Xiongnu lived longer than the Han, and even until the Jin Dynasty was able to go south and take the Jin Dynasty away, resulting in the southern crossing of the clothes.

But the final outcome is that after decades of accumulation, countless generations of people with outstanding luck continue to cast weights, especially Luo's many family heritages in it, and finally Luo Wuji, a person who also has the mandate of heaven, broke through with one blow, and passed through Liu Xun, the emperor who came into being, and finally ended the Xiongnu.

How many years did the mandate of heaven give to the Han Dynasty?

Nobody knows.

But before Luo's guess, there were at least 400 years, because the Xia Shang and Zhou dynasties had at least more than 400 years, and such an unprecedentedly huge dynasty could not die in one or two hundred years.

But after the incident of Emperor Liu Dan, Luo's was not sure.

During the Bang Zhou period, although encountering a faint monarch would vomit blood, it would not actually lead to the death of the country, because it was the princes who could destroy the Bang Zhou, and the princes would leave dignity for Zhou Tianzi even if they pinched their noses.

But since the end of the Qin Dynasty, the reason for the demise of the dynasty has been a peasant uprising, and a faint monarch can really bring down a huge dynasty!

The foundation accumulated by the Liu clan for many generations of Holy Lord Ming Jun encountered a mediocre emperor and a tyrannical emperor, and it collapsed directly to the point of destruction.

Now that the Han Dynasty has been in its hundred and fifty years, almost every one of these problems encountered is difficult for the imperial court to solve in Luo Qing's view, and this is not even something that can be changed by replacing people.

Unless the emperor can cut off the clansmen, relatives, officials, powerful and nobles, and rule this huge empire alone.

Luo Qing thought a lot in his mind, and then said slowly: "There are two main reasons why the imperial court cannot give up the salt and iron official camp, the first is taxation, which is the source of tax revenue for the imperial court, and the second is control, to ensure that the county cannot be separated from the control of the imperial court.

Almost every one of these two points is necessary for the imperial court, and if these two points cannot be solved for the imperial court, it will be a joke to strike the salt and iron official camp.

If you don't strike the salt and iron official camp, the court itself will corrode the foundation, and the resentment of the people in the world will rush to the court.

It's hard, it's hard. ”

Hearing Luo Qing's slight sigh, Luo Bai muttered: "If this is the case, then it will be easier to do, the salt and iron official camp always puts these together, causing people in the world to always feel that salt and iron are one."

In fact, ironware is not very profitable.

Among the salt and iron divisions set up by the imperial court, salt and wine are the most profitable, and with the Shangping Zhun Division, there are too many things to make money, and iron is nothing at all. ”

Luo's trade with Kyushu in the world is too understanding of the complete monopoly of the Han court.

The bureaucracy has the ability to direct a policy in the opposite direction, and the Equalization Division was originally born to stabilize prices in various places, but in the end it has become a thing that raises prices, and has completely become a tool for the officials of the Equalization Division.

The imperial court did not get much, ordinary merchants were made bankrupt, and only the officials and the powerful who depended on these officials made a lot of money.

Rulers!

Everything finally fell on the rule of officials, even in the three recognized times of civil and military propaganda, there was never a shortage of flies and dogs.

Those who came from wealthy families worked tirelessly to make profits for their families, and those from humble backgrounds worked tirelessly to make profits for themselves.

Shaking off the chaotic thoughts, Luo Qing pondered: "Let go of the iron franchise? This can write a letter to Huo Zimeng and let the court discuss, he attaches more importance to farming, and if the iron official camp will lead to a poor harvest in the world, it is still possible to pass. ”

The two brothers glanced at each other, and they both saw what the other party was thinking, in fact, is there a solution now?

There really is!

Giving the regency of the Han Dynasty to the Luo clan for fifty years and mobilizing the entire Luo clan may really be able to sweep away the ills of the Han Dynasty, and even restore it to the time when the country was founded.

But Rockwell didn't dare!

The Luo family is probably the family with the most scruples in the world.

The Mandate of Heaven in the dark is always balancing the Luo family, and the operating principle of the Mandate of Heaven is so complex that no one can understand it at all.

But the ancestors passed down a little something.

The Luo clan can change the development of the entire Zhuxia civilization little by little, the Luo clan can make itself live in the world forever, make the family always prominent, and even change the fate of a dynasty through the Battle of Jingjing, and the Mandate of Heaven does not care too much.

Even like Luo Xin, the king of Luowen, if he goes to do his best alone, it is not a big problem, and the world even applauds it.

But if the Luo clan dares to rely entirely on his transcendent worldly power to forcibly continue the life of a certain dynasty, then prepare to meet the blow of the rules, then be ready to use his own luck to fill the dynasty.

When the Han Dynasty was founded, Luo's did things unscrupulously, because the Han Dynasty at that time was on the rise, and the vigorous efforts during this period would never touch the bottom line of the Mandate of Heaven.

By the time of Emperor Liu Dan, the Luo clan had scruples, but he could still launch the Battle of Jingjing, and there was no backlash at present.

But after Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, Luo's really began to worry, the Han Dynasty experienced the peak of the civil and military era, and fell into a trough in the Dinger era, and then there was Emperor Xiaoxuan to re-prosper, and now Huo Guang Bingzheng, this period of Zhongxing can continue.

But the more this is the case, the more it makes Rockwell think more, and it always starts to fall after the peak.

Was the luck of the Han Dynasty so strong?

How can so many generations of Holy Lord Mingjun be produced in a row?

Emperor Wen, Emperor Wu, Emperor Xuan, this random one is enough to touch the ancient holy king, the state of the Zhou millennium is just like this, the Han Dynasty has produced this kind of holy lord Ming Jun in a hundred years, and the Han Dynasty has been pushed to an unprecedented peak in a short period of time.

This picture of the heyday makes people feel a sense of unreality of cooking oil on fire.

Even if it is spread out to a few decades or hundreds of years, it will not be so difficult to accept.

It's scary to think about!

Rockwell really has a lot of concerns.

Luo's has paid enough for the Han Dynasty, to put it mildly, the luck output of the entire Han Dynasty is not as much as Luoling's investment in the Xiongnu, at least in the Han Dynasty, Luo's loss is a bottom.

It is impossible for Rockwell to invest more, and with Rock's sacrifice, no one can ask for more.

Thinking of this, since Luo Qing was going to explain this matter to the imperial court, Luo Bai put down a paragraph for the time being, and said instead: "Ah Qing, Taishi Gong's history books of the emperors of the Han Dynasty have basically been compiled, do you want to go and see it?" ”

Luo Qing, who was still a little worried, lit up when he heard this, and said quite excitedly: "It's so fast? ”

Luo Bai said with a smile: "Taishi Gong was compiled from the emperors of the Han Dynasty, mainly because the family has relatively few records of the emperors of the Han Dynasty, and the Taishi Gong family is the Taishi of the Han Dynasty, and he has a large number of historical materials of the Han Dynasty in his hands, so he began to compile it from the Han Dynasty."

He wrote a total of nine articles, including "Xiang Yu Benji", "Gaozu Benji", "Empress Dowager Lu Benji", "Xiaowen Benji", "Xiaowu Benji", "Xiaoding Benji", "Emperor Erbenji", "Xiaoxuan Benji", and "Jinshang Benji".

The words are beautiful, not like a history book, but more like poetry. ”

Luo Qing was stunned when he heard this, and then said: "It's really worthy of Taishi Gong, there is really a kind of pride." ”

Luo Bai understood what Luo Qing was talking about, and laughed: "Taishi Gong said that King Xiang is the co-lord of Zhuxia who was personally crowned by King Zhaosheng, and is the Son of Heaven recognized by the princes of the world.

If it weren't for the previous family instructions, Taishi Gong would have been the king of Luowen. ”

Luo Qing said with some emotion: "Emperor Xiaohui doesn't have this era, but the emperor with a temple number doesn't have this era, is this a little?" ”

Luo Bai shook his head and said: "No, Taishi Gong is a little stubborn, he said that it is already very wrong not to go to the book for King Luowen, and the Empress Dowager Lu has this book, if it is for the filial piety Emperor to go to the book, then doesn't it mean that there are two masters in the country?"

So Emperor Hyo-hye's Benki was canceled. ”

Sima Qian really has the style of an ancient historian, and what it should be is what it is.
