Simultaneous travel: I am proving the great way in the heavens.

Chapter 487 The emperor has no selfish affairs, he will rule the world! Wake up and take power!

As Luofu was about to declare himself king and establish his own system.

Jinling, the former capital of the previous dynasty, is becoming increasingly bustling and lively.

Daqing has a dual-capital system, with the northern and southern capitals being somewhat similar to the Ming Dynasty.

Logically speaking, Jinling, as the birthplace of Daqing, should not have completely turned its back on Luofu in such a short period of time.

But unfortunately, the Jiangnan gentry in Daqing are almost the same as those in the late Ming Dynasty. The civil officials and gentry only care about their own private interests. When the Luotian army issued an edict to conquer the country, all the powerful gentry were busy expressing their loyalty to Luofu, so how could they take care of restoring the old capital and rectifying the chaos?

Because Luofu now only occupies half of the country and has not yet carried out a large-scale purge of the old ministers of the previous dynasty, these people mistakenly believe that even if a new reform is made, they can still sing and dance and prosper as usual.

This has also resulted in Luofu becoming the popular choice in the Jiangnan area.

To some extent, Luofu's current strategic plan is quite similar to the Qing Dynasty's entry into the Central Plains. First, they tricked these gentry into joining their own army, and when the world was generally stable, they launched a wave of land grabbing and shaving their heads and changing their clothes.

We have to admit that the Qing Dynasty was quite smart in this regard. When these gentry found out that they had been deceived and the Qing Dynasty showed its fangs, they lost the possibility of resistance because the system of the Ming Dynasty had been broken up. In such a state of disunity, these gentry had no possibility of resistance at all under the butcher's knife.

Of course, Luofu will never be as brutal as the Qing Dynasty in the future.

Even if they were the so-called gentry, he would not slaughter them wantonly like the Qing Dynasty did, but those old officials of the previous dynasty would definitely not enjoy any special status in the new dynasty, and even these gentry would be in trouble.

Jia Yucun, who had surrendered to Luofu and actively helped Luofu, went to various places to issue edicts to conquer the cities in the south of the Yangtze River and changed his flag. His duty was to stabilize the basic base of the south of the Yangtze River for Luofu.

Although Luofu's real base is himself, his Luotian army of more than 20,000 soldiers who can defeat a hundred with one, and whose masculine energy is enough to defeat the gods of heaven and earth, now that Jiangnan has been conquered, Luofu will naturally not just grab a wave and leave, but will manage it as a base.

This requires that Jiangnan be temporarily kept in a stable operating state before completely defeating Daqing in the north.

At least the gentry from all over the country should not hold Luofu back.

In this regard, Jia Yucun did a very good job. Not only that, when he returned this time, he even gave Luofu a gift.

"Shi Fei, you did a great job, thank you for your hard work!"

After reading the letters of surrender and persuasion from all over the south of the Yangtze River submitted by Jia Yucun in Luofu, he could not help but feel more approval of Jia Yucun.

We have to admit that although Jia Yucun is ungrateful, he is indeed capable. Otherwise, Jia Yucun would not have been valued by Lin Ruhai.

The reason why Lin Ruhai valued Jia Yucun was not just because Jia Yucun was handsome and had a face with regular features and a dignified look.

Although Lin Ruhai's personal ability is not outstanding, he is also an outstanding talent. Jia Yucun was first noticed by Lin Ruhai and Wang Ziteng. Ability is the real key.

"Your Highness, if you praise me, this is my duty. How dare I say it is hard work? Your Highness is fighting against Bao Qing, following the will of heaven, responding to people's wishes, and reforming the old and establishing the new. This is the real hard work." Jia Yuncun looked serious and did not look like he was flattering. He bowed to Luo Fu and said, "Your Highness, please take care of yourself."

Luo Fu knew very well that Jia Yucun’s real focus was about to come.

As expected, Jia Yuncun changed the subject and said to Luofu with a caring look, "Your Highness, the people of Jiangnan are deeply grateful to you and have specially entrusted me to send several maids to serve you. Your Highness is concerned about the people, and I cannot refuse. I can only accept two of them. One of them is a Buddhist disciple who practices Buddhism with hair uncut, and is here to pray for your blessing. Please do not refuse. At this time, all places in Jiangnan are respectful to your Highness, and you must not disappoint the local gentry!"

Jia Yucun was indeed a capable man. He clearly wanted to send a woman to Luofu, but according to his wishes, Luofu refused to accept her, which seemed to disappoint the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River.

More importantly, this guy obviously understands that if a Buddhist disciple practices with his hair untied, it would be a uniform temptation in the future.

This was not just Jia Yucun's own thought; the gentry had been doing this for a long time.

Just like in Luofu’s previous life, there were four major groups of leaders: the skinny horse from Yangzhou, the old woman from Datong, the nun from Mount Tai, and the boat girl from West Lake.

The Taishan nun among them is the ancient version of the uniform.

When he saw the names of the two so-called maids, Luo Fu couldn't help but sigh.

No wonder countless people, throughout history, have been vying for power. The feeling of holding power in the world is truly addictive.

Just like Luofu, if he had not entered the shared space and started a rebellion, he would not have the power to occupy half of the world today.

No matter how capable he is, if he wants to take all the golden hairpins from the Red Mansion into his possession, he has to take all parties into consideration.

How could it be like this now, except for Lin Daiyu, it was because Luofu had just conquered Yangzhou, and there was no group of literati and gentry under his command except those rough men from the Cao Gang.

People from all these groups are urgently needed to assist Luofu in completing the construction of the organization, which can be considered as a factor of marriage to a certain extent.

The others, whether it is Xue Baochai, Xue Baoqin, Xiangling, or Miaoyu and Xing Xiuyun who will be sent to Luofu soon.

Luo Fu doesn't need to think about it at all. Even if he doesn't express anything, someone will come to him.

When Luofu completely establishes his rule over the world, all the Twelve Beauties, whether in the main volume, the supplementary volume or the extra-supplementary volume, will be in his possession. All Luofu needs to do is express his wish, and countless people will take the initiative to help him accomplish it.

Luo Fu is very clear about his own positioning.

The world he lives in has a very low upper limit. The so-called gods and gods are just dependent on the incense and faith of the human world.

Even before this sharing, Luofu already had the ability to take over the entire Three Realms.

Under such circumstances, his room for improving his strength is actually very limited.

Perhaps the only thing that can be done is to unify the world, integrate the three realms, and combine the three great persons of the Emperor of Heaven, the Emperor of Man, and the Son of Yin into one.

As for the idea of ​​helping the world upgrade, Luo Fu did have it in mind, but he also knew that it was not something that could be accomplished on a whim.

After all, among so many shared spaces, which one is truly driving the world forward?
Including, but not limited to, the Evil Ghost Luofu, Joy of Life Luofu, Naruto Luofu, etc. Although they have each opened up different systems, they are still within the framework of the world itself and have not completed the further upgrading of the world.

Improving one's own strength and upgrading the world are two completely different concepts.

In fact, this is the point where almost all Luofu are stuck. When helping the world upgrade and not having much idea, waking up to take power and sleeping on the lap of a beautiful woman has become the choice of all Luofu.

Among these, being awake and holding power in the world is a prerequisite, and being drunk and lying on the lap of a beauty is a natural result.

When one holds supreme power, especially a founder like him, even the ethics and morals, the only thing that the gentry in the world can use to restrain the emperor, will be trampled under the feet of the founder who is reforming the old ways.

No one would challenge the authority of the Creator.

Even if Luo Fu only needs to express a little inclination, countless people will take the initiative to help him complete it, and even exceed the target.

Just like Jia Yucun now, the task that Luofu had assigned to him before was only to let him respond to the many cities in Jiangnan that had been ordered to surrender, and let the cities complete the process of changing their flags.

But in the process, Jia Yucun took advantage of the opportunity to bring Miaoyu, the main member of the Twelve Beauties of Jinling, and Xing Xiuyun, the secondary member of the Twelve Beauties of Jinling to the door.

It can be seen how fascinating the power of power is.

At this stage, Jia Yucun is still very useful to Luofu, at least Luofu uses him very well.

Jia Yucun may not be a good person, but in Luofu's eyes, he is an extremely useful tool.

Since they are planning to use Jia Yucun as a tool, Luofu naturally has to reassure Jia Yucun.

With a smile, Luo Fu said in a friendly tone: "Shi Fei, the country is not stable yet, and the world is not unified yet. If this is the case, won't people mistakenly think that I am a foolish ruler who is addicted to wine and sex?"

Of course, Jia Yucun could hear the obvious hypocrisy in Luo Fu's tone, and his closeness to him.

His face, which was already full of righteousness, now revealed an increasingly passionate expression.

"Your Highness is wrong. The way of civil and military affairs is to relax and tighten. Your Highness has never slacked off since he started the army. Now that Jiangnan is stable, you should think about your descendants. How can you treat him as indulging in wine and women? In fact, you have to do this to stabilize the world."

In just a few words, Jia Yucun said that Luofu's acceptance of beauties was actually for the public good and for the sake of world stability.

However, there is nothing wrong with Jia Yucun's position.

In the feudal era, to a certain extent, emperors did not have any private affairs, especially when it came to issues of inheritance. If one was not careful, there would be a danger of shaking the foundation of the country.

Luofu's biggest drawback now is that he has no heir to inherit his legacy. That is to say, Luofu is still young. Otherwise, if it were other founding monarchs, as the founding monarchs who made new changes and occupied half of the country, they would not have a son who could inherit their legacy. This is simply horrible.

The emperor's son is always extremely serious no matter what the situation is, even concerning major events of the entire country.

When Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, gave birth to Zhu Biao, he was attacking Jiqing. When he heard the news, he was so excited that he carved a stone on the mountain as a souvenir, saying that anyone who comes to this mountain will not have to worry about not having an heir.

Emperor Wu of Han had no son for many years, and when Wei Zifu gave birth to Crown Prince Liu Ju, she was immediately named empress. This shows that in the feudal era, offspring were a matter of life and death for the leader of any force.

As for Luofu, his age is really too scary. He has already occupied half of the country before he even reached adulthood.

Under such circumstances, his offspring can be said to be the most concerned issue among all the Luotian soldiers, both civil and military.

If other emperors were given daughters by their ministers in large numbers, they would definitely not have a good reputation. But it was different for Luofu. If he refused to accept any, those ministers would have other ideas in their minds.

After Luofu occupied Jinling, he was able to capture many cities quickly by issuing orders, which might have been due to the fact that he favored Xue Baochai in the Jinling Palace.

Putting everything aside and simply standing from the perspective of a minister under Luofu, Luofu accepted Xue Baochai. No matter what Xue Baochai's background was, at least it could prove one thing, that there was nothing wrong with Luofu's health, and the reason he had no children was because he was not old enough yet.

The fact that he accepted Xue Baochai was enough to make many people who had been wavering in their thinking completely board Luofu's ship.

But this is not safe yet. As the future emperor, especially the founder, Luofu must prove to his subordinates that there is nothing wrong with his health. And having a harem and having children is the best way for Luofu to reassure his subordinates.

The fact that Luofu had an heir meant that the new dynasty that was about to be established would have successors.

If Luofu had no children, especially a son who could inherit his legacy, the consequences would be horrific. How many people knew about Luofu's extraordinary powers?

When it comes to governing the world, you can’t resort to religious beliefs.

Even if Luofu is really immortal, that is a matter for the future. At this stage, he must prove to those wavering fence-sitters that there will be no problem with the inheritance of the Xin Dynasty.

It has to be admitted that Jia Yucun did give Luofu a wonderful reason. At the same time, this reason is also the best choice, or even the only choice, for Luofu to stabilize people's hearts at this stage.

Realizing this in an instant, Luo Fu looked at Jia Yucun with a little more appreciation in his eyes.

Only Jia Yucun could say such words. If it were other people under Luo Fu, they either did not have the qualifications or did not have the intention to do so.

The former are those members of the Luotian Army who were bestowed with the seeds of Yuan Neng by Luofu and gained the power of Yuan Neng in their bloodline; the latter are the civil officials like Lin Ruhai.

However, Lin Ruhai was a man who had been brought back to life by Luofu. He knew clearly that Luofu had extraordinary magical powers. This meant that he would not look upon Luofu as a mortal emperor.

Apart from Lin Ruhai and the members of Luo Tian Army under Luo Fu, others either did not have the qualifications to give advice to Luo Fu, or they were too self-righteous to say such things.

Only Jia Yucun, a guy who is willing to do anything to climb up, can use this method to strengthen the relationship with Luofu and consolidate the foundation of the new dynasty.

Nodding slightly, Luo Fu said, "Shi Fei, go and bring those two beauties here."

When Jia Yucun heard that Luofu referred to Miaoyu and Xing Xiuyun as beautiful girls, he was immediately overjoyed.

He hurriedly called over the two people who had been waiting outside the hall for a long time.

After summoning Miaoyu and Xing Xiuyan, Jia Yuncun was tactful enough to say goodbye to Luofu as soon as possible.

In a short time, the only people left in the hall were Luofu, Xing Xiuyan who looked anxious and frightened, and Miaoyu who was in a state of uncertainty.
