Chapter 504: A Plan to Change the World! The First Tyrant in History!

Before Luofu, throughout history, there has never been a situation like Luofu.

In the process of unifying the world, for Luo Fu and his Luotian Army, it was actually more like a process of colonization rather than a process of conquering the world.

The Luotian Army of 20,000 men, which could defeat 100 enemies, was the real base of Luofu. Apart from that, there were also the civil officials recruited by Lin Ruhai, and the cities that were conquered by issuing edicts after occupying half of Jiangnan.

For Luo Fu, none of them can be considered his real base.

Other founding teams might worry about being too successful and endangering their leaders, but this is not the case in Luofu.

As long as one accepts the seed of energy and obtains the power of blood energy, he will become a die-hard fan of Luofu without realizing it.

This also makes Luofu's will even more unshakable, and it can truly be implemented throughout the world and the three realms.

No matter how frantically Jia Mu, Jia Jing, Jia She, Jia Zheng and others cried out for injustice, and even carried out Lin Ruhai, they were eventually arrested by the people brought by the eunuch chief and thrown into the Sky Prison.

Such a large-scale action naturally frightened the entire Ning and Rong mansions.

The female members of the family were even more trembling with fear as they were escorted into the carriages by the eunuchs brought from the palace and sent to the Ye Ting Palace in the palace.

In fact, the Yeting Palace is not a fixed building like the Qianqing Palace and the Kunning Palace. On the contrary, it is like a cold palace and has no fixed location.

Of course, not all the female members of the Jia family were sent to the palace. After all, the chief eunuch had guessed Luofu's attitude towards the Jia family.

People like Lady Jia, Lady Wang, and Lady Xing were not counted as female family members at all and were directly escorted to the cell.

It is worthy of being the capital city. Even the prison cells are surprisingly large.

After Luofu occupied the capital, the prison became one of the busiest places, and even the large-scale prisons were not enough.

Those with common crimes, or criminals from the previous dynasty, were all released and sent to the prisoner camp outside the city.

The Luotian Army occupied the entire world with a devastating force. Although the capital city had lost tens of thousands of elite soldiers in the Battle of Yangzhou, the permanent population of the capital city was nearly one million. When the Luotian Army besieged the city, there was naturally no shortage of people in the Beiqing court who were willing to fight to the death and perform their duties loyally.

It is easy to pick out tens of thousands of strong and healthy people from a population of millions.

After the capital was captured, these people became prisoners.

As for the issue of tens of thousands of young and strong men, even with Luofu's invincible army of 20,000 capable of defeating hundreds of enemies, they cannot be relocated casually. After all, a slight mistake with tens of thousands of people may not shake Luofu's establishment of a new dynasty, but the capital city will inevitably suffer a catastrophe.

In this case, they could only clear out an area outside the city as a prisoner camp and hand over these tens of thousands of elite soldiers to the second-line troops for custody.

Most of the criminals in the capital's prisons were also sent to prisoner camps outside the city. The empty cells would naturally not be idle, but were used to detain people of status and position.

For example, the male members of the Jia family now.

Whether it was the three generations of Jia Jing, Jia Zhen, and Jia Rong who became Taoist monks in the Ningguo Mansion, or Jia She, Jia Cong, Jia Zheng, Jia Baoyu, Jia Huan and others in the Rongguo Mansion, they were all crammed into the cell.

In addition, except for a very small number of men from the eight branches of the Jia family in Beijing who were escorted to the prison cells together, most of them were packed up and sent to the prisoner camp outside the city.

In a side hall of the imperial palace.

As carriages drove in, soon the sound of crying could be heard from this side hall.

"Miss, what should we do now?" The maid Ruhua, whose face was red from crying, was at a loss and asked anxiously to Jia Xichun, who seemed calm but was actually also very worried.

After calming down, Jia Xichun said, "Since our Jia family was the Duke of the previous dynasty, it is inevitable that we will suffer the disaster today at this time of reform and innovation. The new emperor has shown leniency to us and did not send us to the Jiaofang Bureau, but to the Ye Ting Palace. The thunder and lightning are all the emperor's grace, so accept it!"

"Fourth girl, do you think the new emperor has shown leniency to our family?" Wang Xifeng, whose hair was a little messy but bright and charming, clutched her handkerchief tightly with her bare hands and looked at Jia Xichun anxiously.

Obviously, Jia Xichun is the youngest among the masters of the two Jia family mansions, but at this moment, she is the one being sought for advice by Wang Xifeng.

Nodding slightly, Jia Xichun said, "We, the wives of the nobles of the fallen nation, have never had a good ending in any dynasty. Being able to be promised as concubines to the nobles of the new dynasty is considered a great favor from the emperor of the new dynasty."

"Then what are we doing now? Will we be sent to the powerful people of the new dynasty as concubines?" Wang Xifeng asked impatiently.

"Feng girl, calm down first." Although Li Wan was also worried about her son Jia Lan who was escorted to the prison cell, she was at least a rare person in the Jia family who had some knowledge.

No matter what, Li Wan's father, Li Shouzhong, was once the chief academic officer of the Imperial College.

Just by looking at the old precedents of the previous dynasty, it is not difficult to judge that the fate of those who were rushed into the Yunting Palace was indeed one of the more benevolent ones in all dynasties.

Of course, this is also because Luofu is also a Chinese noble, and is not used to the satisfaction of the Jurchen Jin Kingdom. The laundry house is even worse than a brothel.

"Sister-in-law, our Jia family is about to be destroyed. How can I stay calm?" Wang Xifeng said anxiously.

"Listen to me first." Li Wan then explained to Wang Xifeng one by one how the women who were rushed into the Yunting Palace during the change of dynasties were different from the others who were sent to the Jiaofangsi and were directly sentenced to adultery.

When Wang Xifeng heard about the fate of those sentenced to adultery in the Jiaofangsi, she was actually extremely surprised.

Compared with these two endings, their being rushed into the Yunting Palace can truly be regarded as an extra-legal favor from the founding emperor of the new dynasty.

But after coming to her senses, Wang Xifeng quickly showed a bit of bewilderment, her pretty face was stained with a bit of blush, and she said: "The new emperor will take us... Is he interested in us too?"

It is not outrageous that Wang Xifeng would react like this.

Although she was indeed a married woman, Jia Lian had been missing for almost a year since the fall of Yangzhou.

In the midst of war and chaos, Wang Xifeng was also prepared to remain a widow.

I just didn't expect that the change of dynasty would come so quickly.

After taking a look at Wang Xifeng, Li Wan asked, "Do you really want to enter the palace and become a concubine?"

"My conditions are not bad, right?" Wang Xifeng said, "It doesn't matter whether I become a concubine or not. It's better than..." Thinking of the consequences of being arrested by the Jiaofang Bureau and sentenced to adultery, Wang Xifeng really couldn't wait to be favored by Luofu.

There was no such thing as human rights in feudal society.

The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit, which is the only truth in the feudal era.

Compared to the winner takes all, the loser's ability to survive is a blessing from the winner.

Putting aside the current matter of the Luofu stamp collecting gold hairpin, if we focus on the grand narrative, then the new dynasty that is about to be established in Luofu has begun planning a plan that will truly change the world.

In fact, although Luofu is unifying the world very quickly now, in fact, in this process, Luofu has made a considerable degree of compromise.

It is not a compromise with interest groups such as the gentry, but a compromise with time.

Of course, in the eyes of the former officials and even the gentry, Luofu was undoubtedly a truly benevolent teacher. Since occupying Yangzhou, they had hardly massacred the gentry class.

It can be said that Luofu’s reform was more like a power change within the ruling class and did not really touch the core of the distribution of interests in the world.

You know, even in Jinling, which can be regarded as Luofu's base, Luofu still has many old ministers from the previous dynasty who have not been settled.

The purpose of doing this was purely to speed up the process and complete the change of dynasty, and after Luofu officially held the coronation ceremony and ascended the throne to become emperor.

Then he would be able to free himself and truly reorganize the world.

After all, he still has the memory of his past life. Even if his inner consciousness has regressed to that of a staunch feudal fighter, Luofu at least understands that if he wants the new dynasty to be long-lasting and stable, then he must redistribute the interests of the class.

Especially since Luofu raised the flag of Luotian Army in Yangzhou until now, there have been almost no real strategic battles with the previous dynasty.

To put it simply, not enough people died during the change of dynasties in Luofu.

After nearly a hundred years of rule by the previous dynasty, the wealth of the world had almost been concentrated in the hands of a few people. After ascending the throne, what Luofu had to do was to thoroughly clean up these vested interests and redistribute the wealth and land.

Only in this way can we truly consolidate the foundation of the new dynasty.

Of course, dynastic cycles are inevitable.

Even Luofu has no way to truly solve this problem.

Moreover, as a staunch feudal fighter, Luo Fu could not take the initiative to reform himself. However, the fact that there was no way to completely reverse the dynasty cycle did not mean that there was no way to delay it.

In Luofu's view, developing productivity is the way to allow the dynasty to break through the 300-year limit.

If it is accompanied by regular internal cleanup, then the dynasty he established may really last forever in the true sense of the word.

Who told Luo Fu that he was not an ordinary emperor? With his strength, he could open up a new world.

However, the most crucial reason why Luofu did not do so is that he has his own insights into civilization cognition.

In Luofu's view, as the ruler of a country, any dynasty, after developing for about a hundred years, will inevitably have to carry out a certain degree of internal turbulence and reform.

But this kind of reform cannot be too cruel. For example, the change of dynasties, although it has indeed promoted the progress of civilization, it is undeniable that this earth-shaking change is no less than a radical cure for civilization itself.

If we are not careful, civilization may even stagnate. If external forces interfere, it may even regress.

This idea is indeed feasible in theory, but in a world without any supernatural powers, it is undoubtedly a wishful thinking.

After all, a hundred years after the establishment of a dynasty, the emperors who had been replaced for several generations had long lost the prestige of the founding monarch. The power struggles within the ruling class would make ambitious monarchs trapped and die in a small space, and they would hardly be able to complete internal self-replacement and purification.

But this is not a problem for Luofu.

For the development of civilization, population and land are the prerequisites. Just like a calculation formula, only with sufficient population and land can civilization continue to rise.

In this process, if we simply pursue the expansion of territory and population, what is the difference between this and raising pigs? Civilization is not just about people and land, which are the prerequisites. Productivity is also not just about technological updates and iterations, but also includes culture, art, institutions, etc.

As someone who reads Marx and Lenin in reverse, Luo Fu is of course very clear that productivity determines production relations, but production relations can also affect productivity to a certain extent.

People all over the world may have various opinions about the dynasty established by Luofu. For example, now, because Luofu has not yet settled accounts with the vested interests of the previous dynasty, in the mouths of the gentry, Luofu is like the three generations of saints in Confucian classics.

But once Luofu completes his coronation ceremony, incorporates all the military forces of the previous dynasty, and prepares to turn against him and settle accounts, he will surely become the first tyrant in history.

But these are of no importance to Luofu. After all, to him, this world was created by Luofu at his own whim.
You know, there has never been a founding ruler like Luofu in the world, who took only more than a year from overthrowing the previous dynasty to occupying the world.

Even for Emperor Gaozu of Han, Liu Bang, it still took him five years to unify the country from the time he left Hanzhong. If we count from the time he was in Pei County, it took him seven years.

However, Luofu relied on the power gained from sharing, and took over the nest of the Cao Gang. He selected 20,000 elite soldiers from the Cao Gang, endowed them with the seeds of Yuan Energy, and created an invincible army of 20,000 people.

Starting from Yangzhou, Luofu's Luotian Army was not only invincible, but also suffered negligible casualties. In comparison, any resistance from Beiqing collapsed at the first blow in front of the Luotian Army.

After the Battle of Yangzhou, within just a few months, Luo Tianjun had already gained a reputation as being invincible throughout the world.

This almost mythical rise must be unprecedented in history.

But that was just Luofu's inner violent counterattack after being oppressed by the servants of the Jia family.

When he was about to complete his plan of collecting stamps and collecting gold hairpins to take revenge on the Jia family, Luo Fu naturally moved quickly from the most basic needs in Maslow's hierarchy of needs to psychological needs.

Of course, this doesn't mean that Luofu no longer has low-level desires and needs.

On the contrary, he still had a strong possessiveness for the golden hairpin, but at the same time, Luo Fu also began to treat the world as a carefully polished work of his own.

In other words, this was an experiment in which Luofu placed himself above the entire world.
