Chapter 446 Investigation and Analysis Report
Nanyang County Magistrate Lou Huai committed suicide.
Basically, the officials with the rank of two thousand stones who were not beheaded committed suicide to preserve their dignity.
Wang San was not an ordinary citizen. After all, the asset tax was only for the middle class and above. He had assets worth tens of thousands of dollars, all of which disappeared in this turmoil.
But Wang San was very satisfied, because the county magistrate Lou Huai had died. He had thought about it before, what if he entered Chang'an and it was useless?
Becoming a bandit or taking revenge under a false name, he would never let those insects who caused his family to lose money and wealth have an easy time.
His first target was of course officials at the county level. Wang San didn't know that the others were all innocent, but the county magistrate was definitely not innocent. As for the county governor, we had to wait and see. Finally, there were the Minister of Agriculture Sang Hongyang and Emperor Liu Dan.
It is not easy to be the master of the country and the king of the world. If things are done well, it is because the emperor is wise. If things are not done well, it is because there are problems with the subordinates. There is no such good thing in this world.
The classics of various schools of thought all record a saying of King Su, "The most important thing for a ruler is to select virtuous people and to promote capable people. If they are not virtuous and incompetent, the people will be in danger. Half of the misfortunes will be attributed to the king. This is the responsibility of the ruler of the country."
What does this mean?
The most important ability of a monarch (emperor, princes, marquis, raiser, recommender) is to choose the right talents. If the people you promote do not do good things, half of the blame is yours.
Especially when you cannot control your own people and end up causing a disaster, it's like going for a walk with your dog and not holding the leash, and the dog bites you. Can you blame only the dog?
Ministers with an official rank of two thousand stones were all appointed by the emperor himself, but he pretended to obey his orders but actually disobeyed them and caused such a big mess. How could the emperor want to avoid being in trouble?
It's a dream!
This is the true thought of people of this era. Being an emperor is much more difficult than in Ji Zhao’s original world.
In the original world, people might only dare to talk about clearing out the emperor's entourage and killing treacherous ministers, but in this world, people directly punish tyrants and kill incompetent rulers.
The events in Nanyang County were reported to the emperor, who was furious. He then executed some assistant officials and exiled a group of people to the Hexi Corridor to build settlements and farmland. There was no further news after that.
Sang Hongyang was symbolically confined to his home for a month and fined three hundred coins, and then he was soon asked by the emperor to formulate an assessment method to ensure that incidents like the one in Nanyang County would not happen again.
The court is short of money.
Liu Dan always looked down on businessmen. All the schools of thought had different ideas. He was taught that businessmen were not productive but became extremely wealthy, which was not good for the country. So even though the businessmen were hit so hard, Liu Dan didn't care. As long as there were still farmers farming and people able to fight, it was enough.
Naturally, there was a lot of dissatisfaction among the people of the world with the emperor's laissez-faire attitude.
However, in ancient dynasties, merchants were a minority after all. As long as the basic foundation and the middle and high-level leaders were not in chaos, all kinds of criticisms could not even enter the city of Chang'an.
There were also many people who believed that merchants should be cracked down on and cheered for the emperor. This incident did not have any impact on the political level of the Han Dynasty, but only people who were well versed in economics knew how much damage this caused to the Han Dynasty.
Without agriculture there will be no stability; without commerce there will be no development. The circulation of commerce plays an irreplaceable role in the allocation of social resources. Once commerce is sluggish, neither agriculture nor handicrafts can remain immune.
In the past, Luo Sheng would definitely go to Chang'an to persuade them, but now the family has more important things to do and he can't take care of that.
…
Zhaocheng.
A group of Luo clan sons and daughters with holy marks engraved on their foreheads sat together. Except for a few people who were guarding the Western Regions, all of them were here.
After the appearance of Ji Lingjun, the daughter of destiny, women were able to receive blessings from their ancestors, and the consumption of luck points suddenly doubled, which is why they had to save a lot. However, later on, the number of offspring decreased significantly, and the consumption of luck points gradually decreased.
The women of the Luo family are extraordinary. If we use the words of a game to describe them, they have an exclusive profession called "witch", who specializes in offering sacrifices to the Emperor Suwang.
Due to the special existence of Ji Lingjun, the Luo girl can feel the vastness, brightness and endless warmth, which makes the sacrifice not a boring activity, but a ritual that can obtain extremely high spiritual satisfaction.
Therefore, the proportion of Luo family girls who never marry is much higher than that of Luo family boys. Luo family boys will still be arranged by the head of the family to go on blind dates and get married, but Luo family girls are entirely voluntary. Many Luo family girls, in addition to completing the tasks assigned by the family, such as governing the affairs of Zhaocheng and studying classics, stay in Ji Zhao's temple all their lives.
The daughter of the Luo family made outstanding contributions to the prosperity of the family.
There was a thick stack of papers in front of everyone. Everyone looked serious. Luo Wuji coughed and said, "It took a year, and this report is finally out. Let's take a look."
This report is a report on the attitudes of different classes and groups of people in the Han Dynasty towards the Luo family.
The human, time and financial costs of such a report are extremely high even in modern society.
In this era, perhaps only the Luo family has the spare money and energy to produce such a report.
However, this report is related to Luo's route adjustment after all, so no matter how much it costs, it will be produced.
The content of this report may be biased, but when investigating, Rockwell Automation would not play word games. Instead, it took a pragmatic attitude and carefully sorted out Rockwell Automation's current positioning.
The higher the class, the harder it is to get information. You can only judge their intentions indirectly through guidance. After all, they will ask you what you think of the Luo family as soon as you come up. Even if they are hostile to each other, they will definitely say a few nice words to confuse you.
Everyone took out the report and started to look through it. Ji Zhao curiously scanned it with his spiritual sense, and then began to compare it one by one with the reputation system. This investigation report was more detailed than the reputation system, but its authenticity naturally could not be compared with the reputation system.
Most of Ji Zhao's abilities can be bestowed on the family, but only the system does not miss anything. Otherwise, relying on the information inadvertently leaked by the reputation system, coupled with various investigations in reality, the information that can be obtained is unimaginable.
Luo Sheng presided over this survey. Seeing that everyone started to look through the books, he said aloud: "This survey divides the Han class into many levels and identities according to their power and status, from the emperor to the royal family's relatives and relatives, then the princes of different branches, the marquises of different factions, the main merchants in the world, those small landlords, craftsmen, students, and finally the ordinary people and the people in the princely states, etc."
The categories in this report are numerous and complex. The most troublesome part is not the investigation, but how to extract the information from these investigations and get what the family needs.
“The world depends on one person. The weight of one person is heavier than Mount Tai.”
“Yes.”
Luo Wuzhi's voice was faint, and everyone nodded in unison. This person was naturally the Son of Heaven, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty. Reality could not be changed by human will, and the emperor's weight was much heavier than that of any other person in the world.
If it weren't for the existence of the Luo family, it could be said that the emperor had the power of life and death. The survival of any family depended most on the emperor's attitude. If the emperor targeted you, no matter if you were a foreign relative, a wealthy family, or a meritorious noble, you would all die. In history, Dou Ying and Zhou Yafu both died unjustly.
The Luo family's situation facing the emperor was slightly better, but the emperor's attitude was equally important. People all over the world recognized the emperor. This could be seen from the surprised attitude of Nanyang County Magistrate Lou Huai when Luo Sheng said he wanted to restrict the emperor.
If the country is likened to a big warehouse and the emperor is likened to the owner of the warehouse, then Nanyang County Magistrate Lou Huai is like a big rat stealing food from the warehouse. Luo simply put a cage in front of the emperor and told him that the food outside the cage belongs to him and the food inside belongs to him.
People mainly looked through the words and deeds of Emperor Xiaowu and Emperor Xiaoding Liu Jin during his lifetime, as well as the words and deeds of the current Emperor Liu Dan, as well as his indirect remarks.
The attitudes of emperors before them are of no reference value. At that time, there were Dong'a Hou Luo Xin and Luo Jing. The relationship between these two and the emperor of the Han court can be described as close as a family, especially after Dong'a Hou Luo Xin married Princess Lu Yuan. Marriage and blood ties are always one of the most effective tricks to bring people closer. Even now, Luo Xin's status in the Han court is extraordinary, and he even surpasses Luo Ling. After all, there are a large number of Luo Xin's descendants in the current high-level Han court.
"The situation shown in the report is far better than we imagined. According to historical records and the owner's recollection of Emperor Xiaowu, Emperor Xiaowu Liu Che's main attitude towards the Luo family was to use them for his own benefit. Emperor Xiaowu...
Very confident! "
Luo Wuji couldn't help laughing when he heard this. When he was young, Emperor Xiaowu was his lord. Although the relationship between the two was not as good as that between Liu Che and Huo Qubing, father and son, it was still better than that between ordinary court officials.
The main reason is that the emperors in the past were appointed by the vast sky, while Liu Che believed from the bottom of his heart that he was the son of heaven born by the Su King and was appointed by the Su King, the Supreme Emperor. Therefore, he should be close to the bloodline of the Su King left in the world. The reason was outrageous, but it was very consistent with Liu Che's train of thought.
"Emperor Xiaowu trusted the family very much. According to the memory of the head of the family, Emperor Xiaowu once said, 'I am the son of King Su, and you are the descendant of King Su, so you are like members of the royal family.'"
Luo Wuji nodded slightly and said, "We can skip the Emperor Xiaowu's story. He is a rare saintly emperor in ancient and modern times. He sees things directly to the essence and will not have any intentions towards the Luo family."
The smarter and wiser a person is, the more likely he will abide by his duties. Liu Bang's strength lies in the fact that even at such an old age, he is still wise and brave, and can still sweep the world. Most emperors would have become senile at his age.
Upon hearing this, the Luo family put Liu Che's information aside and reached out to pick up the information of Emperor Xiaoding Liu Jin. They couldn't help but frown at Liu Jin. This emperor didn't have any big problems and was considered a good person. There was only one problem, which was very fatal, and that was that he was not outstanding!
"Emperor Xiaoding Liu Jin."
