When Liu Bang and his ministers were happy in Luoyang, a team of men and horses was rushing to Longxi.

They were ordinary people recruited from Qidi to serve in the Longxi garrison. From Qidi to Longxi, pass through Luoyang on the way. When they arrived in Luoyang, the team stopped and prepared to buy some necessities in Luoyang.

Among these people, there was a man named Lou Jing. This benevolent brother has no background, no background, and no experience in revolutionary struggle, and he was just a little fart before! However, the people of Xi'an have to thank this benevolent brother, it is one of his admonitions that has made Xi'an have a high honor and become the birthplace of the civilization of the Chinese nation. Not only that, but he was also the initiator of the Han Dynasty's peaceful policy.

When Lou Jing heard that Liu Bang and the ministers of the imperial court were living in Luoyang, a flash of inspiration suddenly occurred to him, and he thought of a brilliant idea to enter the officialdom.

So, he found General Yu, a fellow countryman who served in the Han army, as the so-called fellow saw his fellow countryman, his eyes were full of tears, and the two naturally drank wine first, chattered, and recounted the old feelings.

General Yu thought of the feelings of his fellow countrymen, and patted his chest: If you have a brother to eat, you are indispensable.

Lou Jing smiled and said a word, which made General Yu stunned for a while, and almost squirted out the wine.

He said: I want to see Liu Bang and give him advice.

Lou Jing understands very well that with the relationship between them, it is still easy to help get a low-level position in the army, but what Lou Jing wants is not just a low-level position, he has a higher pursuit, he wants to be a minister.

General Yu knew that Lou Jing could speak well, if he could really say that Liu Bang was happy, he still had a recommendation, of course, it was good, but if he didn't say it well in front of Liu Bang, where would his face go, and whether his image in front of Liu Bang would be greatly reduced, it was difficult to say.

Lou Jing knew his concerns, and while pouring wine for General Yu, he said with a smile: Brother, don't worry, brother, I don't dare to go if I'm not completely sure.

Seeing that he was so confident, General Yu naturally didn't have the opportunity to say anything, so he could only accept it.

Before going to see Liu Bang, General Yu prepared gorgeous clothes for Lou Jing, but Lou Jing excused himself: I would have worn whatever I wanted to see him, and I didn't need to change it.

Lou Jing knows Liu Bang's psychology very well, Liu Bang used to be a grass farmer, and he wore coarse linen clothes, but his own ordinary people's clothes can arouse his sense of intimacy.

General Yu was nervous at the court meeting and introduced his fellow villagers to Liu Bang, Liu Bang thought that the imperial court was the time to employ people, and it would be okay to meet him.

Lou Jing entered the majestic court, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty suddenly looked at him in unison.

I saw that Lou Jing had no timidity, but knelt down to Liu Bang and shouted long live to Liu Bang.

Is Lou Jing in the hall?

Lou Jing replied: Exactly.

What counsel do you have to speak to the widows?

Lou Jing stood up and asked unhurriedly: Your Majesty is Luoyang, do you want to compare with the Zhou room?

Correct!

Lou Jing smiled: Your Majesty and the Zhou family have different methods of taking the world, how can they follow the example of the Zhou family to set the capital Luoyang?

Lou Jing paused deliberately, and there was a lot of discussion in the court for a while, and Liu Bang was also a little puzzled. Lou Jing continued: The ancestors of the Zhou family, starting from the Hou Wei Feng Tai, after more than ten generations of accumulation, to the time of King Wen and King Wu, the world returned to the heart, so it was able to replace Yin Shang. It was not until King Cheng ascended the throne that the Duke of Zhou assisted the government and began to build the capital of Luoyang. And His Majesty has ascended to the throne from a cloth cloth, after 70 big battles and 40 small battles, and wants to compare with King Cheng and King Kang, I'm afraid it's not the right time. If Your Majesty wants to maintain peace and stability for a long time, it is best to set the capital Guanzhong, Qindi is blocked by mountains and rivers, there are four major fortresses, if there is a change, a million troops can be assembled immediately, even if the east of Yuhan is in chaos, Your Majesty can also protect the country of abundance in the middle!

This is just a general summary of what he meant, if you are interested, you can take a look at his remarks at the time, which is really wonderful.

Lou Jing talked eloquently, with his three-inch incorruptible tongue and meticulous analysis of the benefits of Duguan, which can be described as leaky.

When Liu Bang heard Lou Jing say this, he evoked a question that had been haunting him since he ascended the throne: how can we ensure the long-term stability of the Han Dynasty? How can the Emperor's power be retained?

He will dedicate the rest of his life to the cause of keeping power! In his mind, the criteria for looking at the problem now are very clear, everything that is conducive to the consolidation of power is right, and it must be done; Anything that is conducive to the continuation of the Han Dynasty is right and must be done.

Since the capital is related to the continuation of the Han Dynasty, it is a major event that has to be discussed.

He threw this topic to the Manchu civil and military: Let's discuss it.

Most of the ministers were from Chudi, and of course they hoped that the capital would be closer to their hometown, so they opposed Lou Jing's statement, and even shouted clearly: Who will go to Guanzhong and who will be in a hurry?

Liu Bang looked around at the ministers and knew that these people were not the masters of deliberations and decisions, and it was in vain to ask them. Liu Bang saw that Zhang Liang did not speak, so he asked: "Strategist, what do you think?"

Zhang Liang replied: Luoyang is too small, the fields are thin, it is easy to be attacked on all sides, there is Yuhan on the left of Guanzhong, Longshu on the right, Hudi in the north, and Bashu in the south. The princes are divided, and the Wei River can be used to transport the world, the princes are restless, and the army goes straight downstream. This is a thousand miles of Jincheng, the country of abundance, Lou Jing's words are right!

With the first strategist of the Han Dynasty on the side, Lou Jing's statement suddenly ushered in a chorus of approval.

Liu Bang made a decision in the dynasty, set the capital of Chang'an, and rebuilt the palace on the ruins on a certain day, Lou Jing was worshiped as Langzhong, and Lang officials were divided into two categories, one was responsible for guarding the palace gate, and the other was the Lang who made special suggestions, and sometimes he also did miscellaneous work, and acted as an official of the envoy at special times. Lou Jing is a Lang, although he is only a small official who is 'more than 300 stones', with a monthly salary of 185 yuan, which can be described as a meager salary, although the official rank is low and thin, but the advantage of Lang is that he can often appear in front of the emperor, for a long time, and he is familiar with the emperor's ministers, and unlike the guards, they can often speak in front of the emperor and give advice to the emperor, so that as long as they have a little talent, they are easy to be discovered by the emperor. At the same time, Lou Jing was given the surname Liu and the name Fengchunjun.

If we want to comment on Lou Jing's suggestion now, it is not of great significance, and its correctness has yet to be demonstrated. But one thing is certain, the rise and fall of a dynasty, the location of the capital is not the key, the key lies in the good or bad governance of the officials, the government is incompetent, corrupt officials are rampant, even if the capital is built as solid as gold, it will still perish. The Qin Dynasty was in Chang'an

didn't live long, and many powerful dynasties in later generations were not settled.

Lou Jing was promoted to the official with a word, showing Liu Bang's elegance in meritocracy, which became a national policy of the Han Dynasty in the future, and the scientific name is "Zhengpi", which will be talked about later. In fact, the answer that Liu Bang is trying to find is already in his actions, as long as there are people with real talent and real learning who can continue to supplement the country's ruling class, there will be a foundation for long-term peace and stability. And once this road is blocked, no matter how high the city walls, no number of troops, and no matter how advanced the weapons, they will not be able to change the fate of destruction.

To paraphrase a fashionable phrase: what is the most important thing to govern?

Answer: Talent!
