The process of the world is driven by the people of the world.

When heaven and earth come together, the heroes are not free.

Before the tide of the times, manpower seemed so insignificant.

can only go with the flow, can only watch the prosperity of things, and then go to the peak of the extreme, suddenly decline, the world is in this kind of chaos.

Rise because of people, and lose because of people.

Luo's once had a mission that lasted for three thousand years, for Ji Zhao's ultimate cause.

But after spending the first millennium, Ji Zhao already knew some of the fundamentals of the system.

Hundreds of years ago, he reached the Heavenly Pillar, he saw the truth of the world, so he chose the Harmony Path, which, if successful, would bring about a change in the world.

Luo's had 400 years of imperial luck at the beginning, and after going through a few things, it now has 500 years of imperial luck.

Even if Ji Zhao can't succeed in a short period of time, as long as Luo's last nine hundred years are passed again, Ji Zhao's main quest will be completed.

Is it difficult for more than 900 years?

Under the centralized mode, it is impossible for any other family to ensure that the lineage will inherit wealth and wealth for more than 900 years, and it is already a blessing to be able to fall with the dynasty.

But for Luo's, as long as the luck is enough, nine hundred years is not difficult.

The Luo family didn't know that the family only needed to survive for more than 900 years, thinking that it would last for thousands of years or even 100,000 years before it would be so difficult.

But Luo Su vaguely knew it, so his family policies and actions were very radical.

……

The three of them traveled all the way to the court of the Western Turkic Khan, and they saw a little bit of Turkic culture, those tiger and leopard ornaments, and some slaves wearing Turkic-style felt hats.

Only slaves.

Most Turkic people, whether they are Turkic people who prefer the appearance of the people of the Western Regions, or Turks who prefer the appearance of the Han people, or Turks who prefer the appearance of the Eastern Hu, wear clothing that is not much different from the style of the Central Plains.

The biggest difference is probably that the clothes on those nobles have a lot of blue-purple and gold and silver patterns, which look very solemn and solemn, and they like gold and purple, which is a characteristic of the Western Regions.

Just getting close to Shenlin City had already surprised the three of Luo Su, this was a city that Luo Xuanjing and Luo Xuanye had never seen before, and it was very different from the Central Plains.

Its walls seem to be made of stone, with statues at the gates, and outside the walls hang numerous frescoes, depicted in brilliant colors, all of which are people, most of them of the same appearance, all majestic holding scepters or swords, riding Pegasus.

On the straight road into the city, there are many people of different appearances, bowing their heads respectfully into the city, wearing hats and a few people are inconspicuous, there are almost all the races that can be seen in this world, black-haired, yellow-haired, brown-haired, straight-haired, curly-haired, with high and low nose bridges.

When Luo Su saw this scene, his heart was full of excitement, sure enough, the ancestor did not deceive people, and the truth of traveling thousands of miles was never wrong.

The scariest thing in the world is to rest on your laurels.

At the beginning, Luo Su let Chu Zixiong Dun go and let him go south to open up, as long as he did not return to the Central Plains, he would spare the Chu State, from that time, Luo Su knew that there was nothing to be done in Zhuxia.

Now he thinks the same way.

After the three of them entered the city, they gently stepped on the stone slab under their feet, and the middle of the stone slab was glued together with an unknown material.

This street alone is better than I don't know how many Central Plains cities, even Chang'an City, it is just a road paved with rammed earth.

In this era, only places like the Imperial City would be paved with marble.

Luo Xuanjing looked at the buildings in the city carefully, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that there was something, "Ancestor, the buildings in this city are quite unusual, and there are many technologies that are not available in the original era.

The family spread various theories in the Central Plains back then, but as a result, mathematics was finally abandoned, and now these buildings, without good mathematics, are impossible to build. ”

Luo Su's era has not yet developed in mathematics, and after he came into the world to understand mathematics, he knew that this was something that could change the world, and there was the supreme truth of the world in it.

But.

Luo Su muttered: "Mathematics is very useful, but even if you learn to a level that no one can reach, it is still controlled by others, and it is impossible to expect those who want to be officials to learn."

Moreover, the talent required for mathematics is too high, the input is large, and the output is low, and it is destined to be an extremely niche category, which cannot be changed. ”

Luo Xuanjing had a flexible mind and asked, "Ancestor, didn't the emperor of the Sui Dynasty open a imperial examination system?" What if you put math into the subject? ”

Luo Su walked away and said, "Then which types of math should you choose?"

You should know that there are many types of mathematics subjects, whether there is a teacher's teaching, the learning speed is completely different, just take the simplest chicken and rabbit cage problem for me Rockwell, put it in the outside world, most people will not.

Can most of the poor students compare to those gate lords?

This imperial examination system is a good thing, but it is not so unusual.

Except for the era of Shiqing Shilu, since ancient times, various recommended officials have been evaluated.

Yang Jian's imperial examination system is actually still a probationary system, but the power of probation is delegated to lower-level officials.

The only commendable thing is that there is a criterion for judging, and in the future, I will study the ancient system of raising scholars, and then implement a complete system to select scholars.

Choosing a scholar is a very deep science, not so simple, not only to select those who have real talent and learning, but also not to let the system become a tool for a certain part of the people, it needs to be considered a lot.

Those things that require a great deal of wealth to learn must be excluded from the path of the elect first.

Ah Jing, do you understand? ”

Luo Xuanjing suddenly said, "Ancestor, I understand that only a system that allows everyone to participate is valuable, at least those families who are wealthy enough to support a scholar." ”

Luo Su smiled slightly: "It's good to understand, when I traveled in the Sui Dynasty, I heard a sentence, called poor literature and rich martial arts, this simple word, I was deeply touched."

More than 1,500 years ago, after the ancestor of King Su, I opened the seal again, and in the end, I had a share of the chaos.

Now that I have two paths in front of me, I may have another choice for the path that is destined to self-destruction. ”

Yes?

Luo Xuanjing and Luo Xuanye were very surprised when they heard this, they didn't know what decision the old ancestor had made to say such a thing.

Luo Su looked at the expressions of the two, but said in a relaxed tone: "But it doesn't matter, with you and Luo's here, you can give me a choice to support the bottom, and I will leave the solution in the family."

When the time is right, it will be activated by the current generation of Lowe's to end the troubled times I have created. ”

Luo Xuanjing and Luo Xuanye were even more scared when they listened, the old ancestor of Gong Wen was too scary, the problem that he couldn't solve, could the descendants of the future generations really solve it?

But the ancestor of Gong Wen likes to be a riddler, and many things are not explained clearly, so the two of them can only be anxious, and there is no other way.

The three of them found a good inn to live in, and after Luo Xuanjing cleaned up, he went to the back room to help Luo Su clean up, and then he cleaned up and asked, "Ancestor, do we want to contact the temple?" ”

Luo Su shook his head, was silent for a moment, and then said, "No need, it's too bustling here, when we come back, let's find another chance to meet." ”

Luo Xuanjing Bingxue was smart, and as soon as he heard what Luo Su said, he immediately asked, "Ancestor, do we still want to go west?" ”

Luo Su smiled: "Of course, if you have to go further west, the Western Regions is the hub of the east, west, north and south, and it can be seen from here that there is civilization in the extreme west."

Just a trip to the Western Regions is a journey of 10,000 miles, and we still have a few years to travel. ”

Luo Xuanjing's hands grew slowly, a heavy burden pressed on her heart, and there was also an excited thought pouring out.

There is no shortage of people in the Western Regions and even in the Central Plains who go further west to the Western Regions.

In the far west of the Western Regions, there are legends of powerful nations.

But for the Luo clan, it was a dark place in the mouth of the ancestors, and once the Luo clan people walked out, they would be lost in it.

This is the admonition of the ancestor of King Su.

Luo Xuanjing cautiously stretched out her index finger and pointed to the sky, she didn't speak, but Luo Su knew what she was asking, and smiled and bowed her head.

Luo Xuanjing's face suddenly bloomed with a look of surprise, and her eyes burst out with immeasurable light, and she couldn't help but ask, "Ancestor, is it really?" Are you sure?

Are our restrictions really lifted? ”

Luo Su nodded again, looking at Luo Xuanjing, who was happily circling in the room like a butterfly, this is the joy of freedom, this is the joy of opening the shackles.

From then on, the people of the Luo clan can go further west to the Western Regions.

……

From the west of the Green Ridge, the style is very customary.

When the three of Luo Su took that step, an earth-shattering thunder suddenly exploded in the sky, and this thunder seemed to celebrate something, tearing the sky.

In the map of the system, all the lands outside the Western Regions are dark, which is why Ji Zhao called these lands the Dark Lands.

In the past, these lands were not allowed for the children of the Luo family to set foot on, but now the situation has changed.

[Venerable master, your children and grandchildren have set foot on the land of Central Asia, a new world map is open to you, in the prelude to this glorious era, may your family sing the most magnificent song.

This is one of the most beautiful lands in the world, may it become the pearl of your family's crown, so that this land will be glorious in the long river of history, with the name of Luo's. 】

[Luck point +1000, the current luck point is 1434623.] 】

The camel bell was long, and the three of Luo Su followed the road that countless merchants had walked towards the extreme west.

This road was full of merchants, silk and porcelain from the Sui Dynasty, and goods from the extreme west, who walked this dangerous road for profit.

Luo Su chatted with these merchants from time to time, and he quickly learned those foreign languages, which amazed everyone who met him.

Luo Xuanye was still driving the car for Luo Su, Luo Su lifted the curtain of the car and looked at the endless yellow sand Gobi, and said softly: "No business, no business, no wealth."

The Central Plains Dynasty suppressed merchants for too many years, and it was time to change this situation, and the situation of valuing agriculture and suppressing merchants must be eliminated.

But if you want to develop business, you must first develop agriculture, and it is now difficult for even families to increase food production unless they can obtain a more productive grain variety. ”

In Luosu's time, the grain cultivated was a very low yield, but now it is not only iron tools as a crop, but also the emergence of wheat is a great progress.

But the problem of wheat is also big, it wastewater, will cause a decline in land fertility, unless a year of cultivation, a year of rest, but this is obviously unrealistic, so the decline in land fertility is very serious.

A lot of land has become saline-alkali land, which eventually causes a large amount of land to fail to harvest, and the solution is to build water conservancy facilities, which still can't quench the thirst of the near with water.

If the food is not good, then go to find better food, from the appearance of Zhuxia to the present, the staple food has changed several times, and each staple food is more productive and easier to cultivate than the previous one.

……

When the sun rises, the moon sets.

The three of them didn't know how far they had come, only that they had passed through some rather powerful countries along the way, with millions of people, powerful armies, splendid palaces, and countless wealth.

There are big rivers flowing, and the plains that make Luo Su also amazed, that fertile land, even the Central Plains have never been seen, so that Luo Xuanye, a cold-faced person, can't help but say, "This place should be owned by my Zhuxia".

They saw a civilization that was very different from Zhuxia, but it was undeniable that there was a strange style here, and what surprised Luo Su the most was that these countries along the way were far more sought after by scholars than the Central Plains.

The reason why he used the word scholar, rather than a reader, was because, in his opinion, a scholar and a scholar were completely different.

The Central Plains also advocates culture, but what they advocate are those who inherit the way of the sages, that is, those who have been passed down by the great sages, such as the scriptures, Confucianism, Taoism, Buddhism, Huang Lao and other ways of governing the country.

Those in the Mo family who have mastered technology are not in the stream, even Luo's can't change this concept, but here, this is not the case.

Here, they met many scholars who had nothing to do with statecraft, and gained an extraordinary status, and they were the guests of the powerful.

This is the first time that Luo Su feels frightened!

He had never been afraid before, but for the first time he was afraid!

Because he knows too well how powerful this kind of neglected thing is, Luo's can gain a foothold in Liaodong because Luo's has advanced things.

The speed of special research and free development is not the same, and now Rockwell's iron-smelting technology is two grades stronger than that of the Central Plains, and there are some other technologies that have not been used for a short time, and Rockwell is stronger than the Central Plains.

The Central Plains Dynasty belongs to the doctrine of taking.

For the Central Plains Dynasty, the volume is too large, even with the weapons of a lower era, it can still win the war.

Even if there were better weapons around, but before the gap could be opened, it was defeated by the Central Plains.

But what did Losu see?

In a country with such a large population, there is still a demand for technological innovation, and theoretical disciplines such as mathematics, astronomy, and geography, which many people seem to be of little use, are also vigorously developing.

The three of Luo Su are now proficient in reading these exotic words, and now the three of them are staring at a book in their hands, their expressions are very solemn.

This is a book about logic.

"I thought I would only see this kind of book in the family."

Luo Xuanye's logic is not very good, his talent in literature, especially academics, is not very good, but his face is also ugly.

Logic and speculation.

Before the Qin Dynasty, it was booming, and both Mohists and famous scholars had content about this, but they were all covered up by the theory of governance.

No matter what the theory is, it is a big flaw that makes it easy to ignore the other wisdom contained in the writings of the saints.

Luo inherited the theories of Lao Tzu and Mozi almost completely, extracted those contents about logic from them, and compiled them into a book for the children of the family to study.

But I didn't expect to see such a book outside the Central Plains now.

Luo Su's face was no longer relaxed, and he said slowly: "Those merchants said that in the far west, there was once an extremely powerful country called Rome, and that is where we should go, where there must be many precious books, and its mountain stones can be used to attack jade, this may be the other mountain stones I am looking for." ”

Luo Xuanye asked suspiciously: "Ancestor, didn't those merchants say that the capital of Rome has been captured by the barbarians?"

Now the most powerful country, said to be called Persia, is in the way of our west. ”

Luo Su shook his head and said, "Judging from the tone and description of those merchants when they spoke, that Rome was once an incomparably great and glorious country, and I am afraid it will not be worse than the Han Dynasty.

Such a country, no, civilization, where is so extinct, there must be countless people who want to revive it, and even if the country is destroyed, those cultures will not necessarily disappear, we can understand how they run a country.

What is the merit of their country.

The Zhuxia system established by the ancestor of King Su must be the greatest, but other civilizations must have merits.

Regardless of other things, just in terms of business rules, the Central Plains is inferior to these countries, and our businessmen are not businessmen, but officials. ”

……

Sigh the law.

The sword qi roared and the horse neighed, and the remnant sun was like blood, but it was more vivid than the blood on the ground, and it was steaming hot, and the spirit soldiers were wearing armor, one team was holding bows and arrows to cover behind, and one team was charging forward with horse lances and horizontal knives, killing madly.

Luo Xuanye took the lead, the horse lance in his hand was almost wielded into a shadow, as long as he stepped on the battlefield, he was as brave as a god of war.

After a while, this team ran and died, and Luo Xuanye returned to Luo Su's side, he was still stained with a lot of blood, and sweat fell on his face.

Obviously, it took a lot of physical effort just now.

After returning to Luo Su's side, Luo Xuanye said directly: "Ancestor, the further you go, the more chaotic it becomes, the Persian soldiers and the Roman soldiers are very chaotic, I am afraid it is not good for us to move forward like this."

Even the spirit soldiers are starting to show scars, and if the spirit soldiers die, it will not be good. ”

It is said that the Roman emperor sued Persia for peace, calling himself "obedient son" and willing to become a vassal state of Persia, but Persia did not agree and still wanted to annex the whole of Rome.

Judging from the current situation, Rome is unable to withstand the attack of Persia, and the once prosperous Rome is likely to be completely destroyed.

Both of these civilizations were quite brilliant, whether it was Persia or Rome, they were quite commendable, and even a person like Luosu, who came from the distant Zhou period, could not say that these two countries were barbarians.

He wants face.

These two countries have civilizations, systems, and their own morals, and in some respects they are more advanced than the Central Plains.

Compared with Persia, Losu was more interested in the Roman political system, and he felt the taste of his own rule from the Roman system.

He was the initiator of the Bang Chou Regency Council.

Limiting the power of the monarch is also something that Lowe's has always done.

But in the end, with the increase in the land area and the increase in population, we had to strengthen the centralization step by step, and there was no complete theory that could distinguish the imperial power from the centralized power, so the current situation was created.

The larger the territory of the country, the more important it is to ensure the authority of the central government to prevent secession, and the higher the authority of the central government, the greater the power of the monarch, and even Luo's cannot solve this problem.

At this moment, Losu saw the aristocratic republic of Rome and gave him some gains, but only a little gain, because this aristocratic republic was too unsuccessful.

Luo Su's evaluation is that it is not as good as monoman politics.

At the beginning, the Regency Council was also a kind of aristocratic republic, and I don't know how much better than this aristocratic republic in Rome.

In particular, when Luo Su learned about the frequent civil wars in Rome, he immediately knew that Rome was a typical succession system with problems, and the imperial power was completely devoid of sacredness, and the throne that relied entirely on force was of course unstable.

And Zhuxia.

As early as ancient times, the problem of being ordered by heaven has been solved, and when King Su came to the world, it completely fixed the lofty status of heaven, and then cooperated with the primogeniture inheritance system, so that there was a dynasty of hundreds of years, and the Roman dynasty did not even have more than a hundred years.

Thinking back on these things, Luo Su felt more and more the superiority of Zhuxia, in the political system, the most crucial thing in the country, Zhuxia's dynasty surpassed them for a thousand years.

The rest of the inferiorities will not lead to an imbalance of power in a short period of time, and now that I have come here, the blueprint in my mind has been thoroughly traced.

It's time to go back to the Central Plains and let Luo's return to the Central Plains.

It has been a few years since it came out, and I am afraid that the news of Luo's descendants walking in the world has spread everywhere.

I don't know if Yang Guang, the king of Jin, has become the crown prince.

I don't know if the Sui Dynasty has defeated those strong enemies now, it is definitely impossible to defeat the Liaodong Kingdom, where the terrain is not easy to attack, but the Western Yan Kingdom and the Winter Turks have a good chance.

Thinking of this, Luo Su pondered for a while and asked with a smile: "Ah Ye, Ah Jing, do you want to go back to the Central Plains?" ”

Do you want to go back to the Central Plains?

Of course I do.

In the traditional concept, the Central Plains is surrounded by bitter cold land, those barbarians live very hard, the best land has been occupied by Zhuxia, after walking thousands of miles, they know that this is of course not right, at least Persia and Rome have quite prosperous cities.

There is silk, there is tea, there is gold, there are precious stones, there are beautiful women, there is fine wine, there is everything that civilization needs.

But this is not home.

There is no king here, no elegant language, no Luo's, it feels strange here.

"Back to the ancestors, I want to!"

Luo Xuanjing and Luo Xuanye were not hypocritical, and directly said what they thought in their hearts.

"Then let's go home, go back to the Central Plains, how many years have passed since we came out of the Central Plains?"

"Ancestor, about six years."

Six years.

It's really a short period of time, Luo Su thought about it, "We will return to the Western Regions, about three or four years, one day, we must build a gallop road here, from Constantinople to Chang'an, all the way unimpeded." ”

Luo Xuanjing and Luo Xuanye were stunned, if there really was that day, how big should the land of Zhuxia be?

Just thinking about it, you know that it is impossible, there is no capital city that can support such a large area of empire.

The territory of the Central Plains Dynasty is already the limit to be able to reach the Green Ridge, and even if it is the Green Ridge, it takes a lot of manpower and material resources to maintain.

At least judging from Luo Xuanye's political level, he doesn't think it's worth it.

But in front of him is Luo Wengong, maybe the old ancestor can have a way?

……

The sun rises and the moon sets, spring goes to autumn, looking from the sky to the earth, the winding road, crossing countless rivers, passing through the grassland, the desert and the Gobi, experiencing the bandits and rebels on the road of more than 10,000 miles.

It's a blood-stained path back.

The three of Luo Su stopped and walked on this road, what a great power of time, in just a few years, the country on this road was changed.

Some countries have become strong, some countries have decayed or even perished, and the countries established on the plains have no ability to resist foreign enemies, and only natural dangers can protect a country from existing in difficult times.

The three of them traveled thousands of miles, and before they entered the Western Regions, the oncoming caravan brought them a piece of news.

Yang Jian has been dead for a long time.

Within two years of their departure, Yang Jian abolished Yang Yong's crown prince and renamed Yang Guang as the crown prince, while changing the era name to Renshou.

Before they reached Rome, Yang Jian had already died, and the crown prince Yang Guang became the new Son of Heaven of the Great Sui, changing the name of the era to Daye, and after he became the Son of Heaven, he immediately began to crusade in the east and west.

Sure enough, as Luo Su expected, the Western Yan Kingdom was easily destroyed by Yang Guang, and the king of the Western Yan Kingdom bowed down to his vassals, and he also sent troops to the Winter Turks to show off his strength and defeat the small countries in the northeast.

After the Wenzhi of the Sui Dynasty reached its peak, the martial arts of the Sui Dynasty gradually reached its peak.

The three of them heard some rumors.

After being silent for a long time, Luo Su stretched out his hand and made a move, and the artifact Qingshi appeared in his hand, and Zhan Zhan's divine light bloomed, which should not have been used when there was such a shortage of luck points, but now he had to use it.

————

Duke Wen traveled westward, traveled 20,000 miles, and saw all the people in heaven and earth, which was the avenue, so he could magnificently enjoy the summers and become a great cause that had never been seen in ancient and modern times. - "Rock's Grand View"
