Established a millennium family since King Wu defeated Zhou

Chapter 438

Luo Sheng went to the Western Regions with worries.

In Zhaocheng, Luo Wuji was lying in the courtyard, lazily basking in the sun, and there were a few people in the courtyard, all of whom were family stewards, reporting to Luo Wuji about the family's secular situation.

The Duke of Zhao is not a self-sufficient country. With the size of the Duke of Zhao, it is impossible to support so many warriors.

The main source of income for the Duke of Zhao is doing business.

The prestige of a thousand-year-old family is really easy to use. The same bronze mirror is polished more delicately, and the word Luo is engraved on it, which can cause aristocratic women to snap up it. This is even more outrageous than the top luxury goods of later generations.

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

For example, caravans in Liaodong will not transport goods to Jiangdong for sale. In most cases, they will be transported to Handan or Linzi, and then transported to the south by caravans in Handan and Linzi.

The Luo family's caravan did not have such concerns. Apart from the imperial court officials, the Luo family's caravan was the only caravan that traveled all over the world. If anyone dared to attack the Luo family, it would have to see whose knife was sharper.

After reporting on the paper village, the steward in charge of the family's horse sales said, "Patriarch, the main income of the horse industry this year still comes from Dawan Tianma, accounting for nearly [-]% of it."

Dawan Tianma is what later generations called the sweat-blooded horse. It is an extremely good war horse. It is tall and has strong impact and explosive power. The only disadvantage is that it is not suitable for expeditions in severe cold weather. It cannot be used for expeditions. Mongolian horses are still needed for expeditions, which can search for food in the ice and snow by themselves.

But this kind of horse that looks like a horse is very popular with nobles and is worth thousands of gold.

The Luo family communicated with the Western Regions, and the Wushuang Marquis became one of the key links on the ancient Silk Road. It not only protected the passage of caravans in the Han Dynasty, but also did business, and used the profits from the Silk Road to support the Luo family’s sub-bases stationed in the Western Regions. .

"However, a letter from the young master said that the king of Dawan heard that the Dawan Tianma was popular in Dahan, and the price was extremely high, so he was greedy and wanted to raise the price on the ground. It is said that the price will be doubled directly.

Prince Shi is going to unite Wusun King Liu Ba and his allies in the Western Regions to kill the current King of Dayuan and establish a king who is close to the Han Dynasty. "

Liu Ba, King of Wusun, is the only vassal king of the Liu family in the Western Regions of the Han Dynasty. 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 regarded as the leader of the Luo Dynasty. , More respectful than treating the emperor.

Luo Wuji frowned slightly when he heard the words. The business routes in the Western Regions are very important to the family. Since the communication with the Western Regions, the family's income has almost doubled, and Hanting's business has also been greatly circulated. This is a benefit for everyone. good thing.

Luo Wuji pondered for a while and said: "King Dawan is really stupid, it is too dangerous for such a stupid person to stay in such a key position.

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

Write a letter to A Shi, directly in the name of protecting the caravan of the Han Dynasty, use the Tiger Talisman of the Protectorate to mobilize the power of the Protectorate of the entire Western Regions, slaughter all the nobles in Dawan who have a bad feeling for the Han Dynasty, and ensure the political orientation of Dawan unchanged for ten years. "

The governor of the Western Regions has a lot of autonomy. After all, Wusun is thousands of miles away from Chang'an, and it is impossible to report everything. It is somewhat similar to the princes who were ordered by the king in the Bangzhou period. The battle report will do.

Luo Wuji's murderous words did not cause any waves. The life of a Yidi king is like weeds that can be seen everywhere on the roadside. No one will care if he steps on it. After saying "here", I wrote down the matter, and then sent a letter.

"Patriarch, you still need to determine some matters about the Wushuang Marquis in the Western Regions. Currently, the number of people who have migrated to the Wushuang Marquis has reached [-]. What should the future of these clansmen do?
There is also the inheritance of the Wushuang Hou Kingdom, whether it is like the Yinghou Kingdom or the Dong'ahou Kingdom, this is what Young Master Shi asked in the letter. "

Everyone couldn't help but widen their eyes when they heard the words. This is an issue that the whole family is more concerned about. Although the Patriarch gave an order, even if they were going through fire and water, they would not hesitate, but fairness has always been the creed of the family.

Zhaocheng is the holy land of the Luo family, and one of the most prosperous cities among the Xia kingdoms.

The Wushuang City of the Wushuang Marquis is a city built in the outskirts not long after the wasteland was reclaimed.

From Zhao City to Wushuang City, it is no exaggeration to say that they were exiled.

Not to mention the Wushuang city thousands of miles away, even the four Hexi counties near Longxi, except for the people of the Liehou Kingdom who went there, are all regarded as places of exile. In order to move the people to live there, it costs too much money and food.

The members of the Luo clan are willing to go to Wushuang City for the ideal of the family, but the family can't really leave the clansmen there to finish their work. It will really become a big joke of "I treat the family as a mother, and the family treats me as a fool" up.

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 receive the blessing of Su Wang Patriarch.

For all marriages that have been blessed by Su Wang Patriarch, the wives must return to Zhaocheng after pregnancy, even if they fail to return, they must return to Zhaocheng to receive the best education when the child can embark on a long journey .

Those old people also have to return to Zhaocheng to live in their later years, and then send younger clansmen there. Those clansmen who died in the Western Regions for their family and Zhu Xia cannot be allowed to bury their bones in other places. For the burial in Zhaocheng, only one of the gods should be left in the Western Regions.

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

Remember, there will be no Western Region Luo clan in this world, and there will be no Wushuang Luo clan. Only the Luo clan who went from Zhaocheng to the Western Regions to build and guard, 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 family that such a distant branch has appeared, so this question has been lingering in countless people's minds.

Many clansmen are worried that if they go out to Zhaocheng, they will not be able to come back in the future, just like those other families who left during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods, they will not be able to live in Luo Kingdom from now on. It's Rockwell.

Luo Wuji's words settled this doubt, don't think too much, it's impossible, there is only Zhaocheng Luo's branch in this world, and the opening of the mine is also from the main branch, and it is only one generation People will never take root in the mine for several generations and cause centrifugal force to the family.

As the head of the family, Luo Wuji knew that Zhaocheng was a mysterious city. Living here, he had a higher sense of identity with the family than living in the outside world, so he would never allow his family's children to live in Zhaocheng.

After solving this problem, only the inheritance of Wushuanghou remains.

After the establishment of the Han Dynasty, due to too much credit, it is not counted as the duke of the main line. Only the rank of marquis, the Luo family got a total of four and a half, Yinghou, Dong'ahou, Shouguanghou, Wushuanghou, and half A Marquis of Anyang.

The title of Marquis of Anyang is really special. Although the Han family inherits the title of Marquis of Anyang, this title is a baroness. In theory, this title should be passed on to Luo Cai's daughter, who married into the Among the Luo family, the Luo family has half of the inheritance rights for this title, which is rather chaotic.

After the death of Luo Jing, the title of Marquis of Dong'a was directly divided into the kingdom of Marquis of Dong'a, and it was distributed to Luo Jing's sons who stayed outside. .

The Yinghou Kingdom is another special Hou Kingdom. After Luo Yi passed away, the family was directly moved back to Zhaocheng. However, the Yinghou Kingdom was not abolished. Under the control of the direct line, it used to be the Marquis of Ten Thousand Households, and it has always been one of the important sources of income for the Luo family.

The problem that the Wushuang Marquis is now facing is how to ensure that the Wushuang Marquis will always remain an important part of the family after the stigmata disappears after three generations.

The answer Luo Wuji gave was: "Just like the old things in the Marquis of Ying, the succession of fathers and sons is not implemented in the Marquis of Wushuang, but the family chooses the direct line to inherit the title of Marquis of Wushuang. Each generation must have at least three to five sons of the Luo family. Go to the Wushuang Marquis to sit in town and put an end to all possible hidden dangers."

Everyone's hearts are trembling, the patriarchal system exists to stabilize the world, but if the patriarchal system affects the family, then they must abandon it without hesitation.

Besides, this is not an abandonment of the patriarchal clan. The Luo family is different. As early as Bang Zhou's time, the inheritance rights of the children with sage marks were ranked ahead of the children without sage marks.

After all, the family name of a child with a stigmata is Luo, but a child without a stigmata directly changed his family name. It is clear at a glance who will inherit.

"Patriarch, this Wushuang Marquis was conferred by the emperor of the Han Dynasty. If he doesn't want us to do this, what should we do?"

Every successor of the princes and kings, even the undisputed heirs, had to go to Chang'an, wait for the examination of the Zong Zhengfu, etc., and the emperor's consent before they could inherit the title.

The feudal gold book is something that only the emperor can issue.

No matter how powerful the Luo family is, if they don't have jade seals, which are the treasures of the emperor, the edicts issued will not be counted, and no one will recognize them.

Luo Wuji said lightly: "The Son of Heaven will agree, and this will not do any harm 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 for the emperor to agree to, but the emperor has only one reason not to agree, that is, he does not like Rockwell.

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