Established a millennium family since King Wu defeated Zhou

Chapter 638 Rockwell's Choice
On the straight road leading to Kanto, an army of about 200 people was galloping at high speed, and the green scenery on both sides could not help retreating.

This convoy is very low-key, but judging from the horses and standard weapons, it must be the elite of the army.

This group of people is exactly the one that Jia Xu and Cai Yan went to Zhaocheng.

He killed countless people along the way since he and Luo Kong parted ways, and there was even a little blood on the knife.

Jia Xu recalled what he had seen and heard along the way, then raised the curtains of the carriage, looked at the carriage where Cai Yan was in, and secretly marveled in his heart.

Because Luo Kong asked him to communicate with Cai Yan more, it was a breeze to deal with a little girl like Cai Yan with Jia Xu's wisdom.

Jia Xu originally thought that Luo Kong valued Cai Yan because of her appearance. After all, the Luo family has good looks, so she really cares about the appearance of the other half.

But the result surprised him, Cai Yan could really remember it with his photographic memory, and he could speak it well, which is simply a treasure.

It is no exaggeration to say that as long as you marry Cai Yan, you will have the foundation of a family of Confucian classics, especially those high-ranking officials who have high official positions but have no background.

Moreover, Cai Yan was born in the Cai family of Chenliu, and her father was a great Confucianist in the world. If a daughter of this kind of family marries into any family, she must be a legitimate wife, otherwise it is an insult.

Don't say that Cai Yong is unwilling, even many irrelevant gentry would not be willing.

In addition, Cai Yan herself is very eloquent, and at first glance she is a person who can teach her children well. These days of getting along with each other, Jia Xu, who is thoughtful and good at watching people's hearts, has a good impression of her.

Even Jia Xu admired Wu Shuanghou's ability to take a fancy to Cai Yan at a glance.

I feel even more emotional in my heart. There is indeed a reason why the Luo family can maintain the output of talents. After Cai Yan enters Zhaocheng, he will definitely be married by the son of the Luo family. He just doesn’t know what he will do after entering Zhaocheng What about jobs?

Just as he was thinking about it, he heard someone on horseback say: "Sir, it's getting late, let's take a rest when we get to the front, the horses are a little tired, it's time to feed them some food and water."

Seeing that he was one of the three guards beside Luo Kong, Jia Xu asked, "How long will it take us to arrive at the Duke of Zhao?"

The guard made some calculations and said, "According to the current speed, we will arrive in Zhaogong Kingdom in about four days."

There are four more days.

Jia Xu was overjoyed, finally it was almost there, so he asked everyone to prepare for a rest, and they skillfully lit a bonfire, then set up defenses, set up a pot to boil water and cook.

Cai Yan and the three female officials got off the carriage. Although Cai Yan looked a little haggard after days of running around, she was still full of beauty, with a bookish and warm air, and looked like a standard lady.

Seeing Cai Yan walk down, Jia Xu smiled and said, "Miss Wen Ji, we will be in Zhaocheng in a few days."

Cai Yan asked the female officer this question in the carriage, so she was not surprised, but she still responded: "Sir, you have a great talent, and if you enter Zhaocheng this time, you will definitely be reused."

Just as Jia Xu was amazed at Cai Yan's excellence, although Jia Xu was very low-key, Cai Yan still knew that this seemingly simple and honest man in front of him was extremely intelligent with a lot of beauty in his chest.

Jia Xu shook his head and said: "The Luo family has a lot of talents, what is Xu's meager skill worth?

Besides, if it was for reuse, Xu would not wait here to enter Zhaocheng.

But Miss Wenji, there are thousands of women in the world, but a strange woman like you is really unique.

I'm afraid it won't be long before you enter Zhaocheng, and Xu will call you Ma'am. "

Jia Xu and Cai Yan are already very familiar with each other, and Cai Yong entrusted Cai Yan to Luo Kong, and Luo Kong entrusted Jia Xu. From this perspective, Jia Xu is Cai Yan's elder.

If Cai Yan could marry into the Luo family, Jia Xu wouldn't need to worry about it, but if she didn't marry into the Luo family, Jia Xu might help her to keep her life safe.

This is already a great recognition for Jia Xu, who is wise and protects his life.

Cai Yan blushed immediately, since the moment her father entrusted her to Wushuanghou, and Wushuanghou accepted the entrustment, she had already thought of this day.

Now that it is approaching Zhaocheng, Cai Yan is getting more and more nervous, but thinking about it, Luo's son has never had an incompetent son for thousands of years, even Luo Mingong is already a hero of the same period.

Moreover, Luo's son's face is the most beautiful in the world.

Young master Mo Shangren Ruyu is a true portrayal of Luo's son. Luo's son does not take concubines, and lives as a couple. If you think about it, what is there to worry about?

The female officials in Zhaocheng burst into laughter when they heard the words, "Wen Ji is so beautiful and talented, even better than the girls of the Luo family. Once she enters Zhaocheng, the young masters will definitely love her."

Cai Yan recalled the conversation in the carriage again, and became even more ashamed and annoyed. These Zhaocheng female officials are really meticulous when they observe the etiquette, especially when it comes to Su Wang, even in private. Cross your hands and raise your forehead.

But when they chat in private, they are really bold, they dare to say anything, they cover their faces and dare not speak, and then they laugh out loud.

……

Zhaocheng.

After Luo Zhang received the two artifacts from Ji Zhao, he hastily called the direct descendants of the Luo clan who were still in Zhaocheng to communicate with the first clan.

After Luo Zhang told everyone in the Luo family about the news about his ancestor's reappearance, the sons of the Luo family were all shocked, but the daughter of the Luo family could feel that special fluctuation and had already guessed it.

"The old ancestors repeatedly told us to prepare early, which means that the current situation is somewhat difficult to adapt to the changes in the new troubled times.

Patriarch, these past few years have indeed been a bit difficult to support. Since last year, the supplies that can be distributed to the tribe have been reduced by [-]%. "

A [-]% reduction is a big number.

The Luo family has the top layer of seal carving stigmata, officials who are good at handling government affairs and a complete supervision system, as well as the belief of the ancestors of the true gods, and Zhaocheng, a city with a halo effect, so they have the strongest family.

But for a family to survive in this world, it is impossible to completely rely on faith and not eat. What maintains all of Rockwell's is food and water. This is called matter determines consciousness.

Now he has fallen into a new vicious circle, just like during Bang Zhou's period, Luo State did not expand, so its strength has not been improved.

The same is true for the Duke of Zhao, which is developing around Yizhao City. The Duke of Zhao cannot develop its territory, and it is surrounded by the land of the great Han.

However, without developing the territory, in this era when power is tied to territory and population, Duke Zhao, which basically relies on commerce for prosperity, is easily affected.

This is one of the reasons why the Western Regions cannot be lost. The Wushuang Marquis of the Western Regions has captured a lot of wealth for the Duke of Zhao, ensuring that the entire family will move forward steadily.

In fact, there is another way, but no one will bring it up.

That is to use white gloves to carry out large-scale land mergers, but it is impossible for Rockwell to do this kind of thing. Engaging in commerce is beneficial to the circulation of the world, and land mergers really do not see any benefit.

Although due to historical limitations, the Luo family sometimes can't see the future clearly, but if they do things that cause the world to go backwards, the Luo family might as well just perish.

Su Wang's descendants can't do such a shameful thing.

Even though I, the Luo family, bind my hands and feet and carry the shackles of benevolence and righteousness on my back, I am still invincible in the world. At worst, I will let the Su Wang ancestor save me.

"Patriarch, the retrogression of these years is that the turbulent situation has caused the business roads to be blocked, and the cost has been increased to ensure the passage of business.

The second is that the influence of the family on the world is not enough.

In other words, the family's secular power is not enough!

I once heard someone say that the county magistrate is not as good as the current one, which is a reflection of the current family.

The Yuan family in Runan County, I have read the records of their family, it was only when Emperor Xiaoxuan made his fortune, even if it is pushed forward, based on the calculation of the gathering place, it is only the doctor of Chen Guo in the Spring and Autumn Period.

The so-called four generations and three lords, in the Han Dynasty, it is not that there are no other families that have achieved it, but they are not as good as the Yuan family who can use drilling camps, so the momentum is far from being comparable.

The most prosperous time of the family is when the children become officials.

For example, in the early years of the First Han Dynasty and the early years of the Later Han Dynasty, the families at that time could do whatever they wanted.

During the reign of King Luowen, the family caravan was the smoothest to pass through the world, from Liaodong Peninsula to Lingnan, without hindrance.

This is a trivial matter, but it represents the status of the family in the hearts of the people of the world. "

Luo Zhang was thoughtful, and the high priest suddenly spoke, and everyone turned their attention to her. This high priest is Luo Zhang's cousin, "Patriarch, is the increase in the background of the Patriarch gradually decreasing over the years?"

The Patriarch is the one who can most clearly feel the changes in the background of the Patriarch, and the daughter of the Luo family, who is the priest, can also perceive some of it, so he asked this question, Luo Zhang nodded and said: "It is true, but the burden on the family has also been reduced a lot. "

This is an unspoken rule that is not explicitly stated but known by all Luo family members. Too much burden on the family will bring blood and sacrifices.

Balancing the relationship between the two is one of the tasks of the head of the family.

The high priest said thoughtfully: "I can be sure that the Lord of Heaven who has been shouting to break Han Ting's destiny, he really broke Han Ting's destiny, although I don't know how he did it Yes, but it is a fact that there is no life in the world now.

This is an important time for the family. No matter what the result is, it will not increase the burden on the family and revive the secular power. It is at this time. "

Luo Zhang felt a pain in his heart, and said in a deep voice, "That Zhang Jiao is actually Ah Xiao."

???

Now everyone in the room couldn't sit still. Some people even stood up and were stunned. They wanted to say something but were speechless.

This incident was simply too ridiculous, but after thinking about it carefully, I found it very reasonable. How could there be two people like Luo Xiao suddenly appearing in this world?

Besides, it is such a thing as breaking the destiny of a dynasty!

The high priest was the only one who could maintain his composure, and asked again: "Then A Xiao passed away?"

Luo Zhang showed grief on his face, "The old ancestor said that A Xiao broke through the fate of the later Han Dynasty, and then died of being swallowed back by the fate."

After finally accepting this reality, everyone in the Rock family sat down again, but the atmosphere in the arena was suddenly different.

That's Luo Xiao!

The pride of the Rock family!
Luo Zhang sighed: "This is probably A Xiao's fate. He was born different from us. Since he is willing to do this, it means that he thinks this must be done."

"Patriarch, it seems that the world is about to enter a stage where heroes compete for the throne, but I don't know whether it is the end of Qin Dynasty or the end of Han Dynasty."

Chasing the throne at the end of the Qin Dynasty turned into changing the dynasty and changing the surname, and chasing the throne at the end of the Han Dynasty first means that the Han family was ordered.

Talking about this topic, Luo Zhang's voice was a little more relaxed, "Last time, I specifically asked my ancestor about this issue."

Everyone immediately asked curiously: "Patriarch, what did the ancestor say?"

Luo Zhang recalled the memory at that time, and slowly said: "The ancestors said that there is no destiny, it depends on man's efforts, and anyone can regain the world.

If there is a person who rules the world, bring it to the ancestors and crown him with the emperor's crown. "

There is no destiny!

Everyone's eyes were full of shock, but at the same time they were instantly filled with surprise.

The ancestors said that if there is no destiny, then there is no destiny, which means that the world must be won by manpower.

"Patriarch, my suggestion is that, except for the children who maintain the normal operation of Zhaocheng, the rest of the best children should be sent out, just like Qin Mo.

Duke Zhao also needs to move, together with the war, morality will be violated at the moment of life and death. After all, they are going to die, who will abide by the rules?

Duke Zhao must protect the banks and embankments of the great river Zhuxia. "

As for sending his sons to serve as officials, this is basically a foregone conclusion. Whether it is from the family or from the world, Luo's sons must serve as officials, not even one or two, but many.

Whether it is leading the princes along the way, joining as a vassal, or becoming a courtier, it takes more.

As for the Duke of Zhao, the daughters of the Luo family can maintain the stable operation of the Duke of Zhao.

What really caught everyone's attention was the second half of the sentence, to do a good job of protecting the river embankment of Zhuxia, this matter needs to be done by the entire Luo family in Zhaocheng.

At the end of the Qin Dynasty, this matter was done very well. Although the war caused a reduction in personnel, it was a normal reduction in personnel, and no large-scale massacre occurred.

Now we will soon be in a troubled world again, what should the family do this time, which bottom lines need to be kept and which are unavoidable, what means are needed to do these things, and what price to pay is very important. Test ability.

Luo Zhang nodded slowly and said: "There is no need to pay special attention to this kind of thing. Whether a thing is suitable or not is naturally among the hearts of the world, and the bottom line of Luo's bottom line is known to all smart people."

"Dong dong dong."

Suddenly there was a knock on the door, "Master, there are guests that Young Master has sent back."

----

The harm caused by war is not limited to the doomed population, but also the annihilation of civilization, humanity and morality, which is even more harmful. Fortunately for China, in any era, this great civilization There is no shortage of people who stick to the moral bottom line upright, such as the eternal Rockwell. ——"Global History·Ancient Chinese Civilization"
