The Fan family is one of the Eight Qings, and they are still the old Jin "Qing" clan, and they are now prefixed with "Shi".

And this "scholar" is a certain ancestor of the Fan family, who was assigned the position of "judge (chief justice)" when he first arrived in the Jin Kingdom, and it was retained for commemoration, they are actually Fan.

The current patriarch Shixie is a general of the army, if he does not die if he does not die, he will be able to become a marshal and govern sooner or later.

If you are lucky, Luan Shu and Xun Geng will die in a very short period of time, and Shi Xie will immediately become the general of the Chinese army and the position of marshal and ruling officer.

And several other members of the Fan family also held important positions.

Because it pays attention to whose father does what and what the children and grandchildren do next, the position of "judge" must be Fan's people.

The current "judge" is the bream.

The "Qing" of the Jin State is not easy to be, and if you don't have that strength but want to be tough, it will definitely be a dead end.

Among the "Qings", the weakest one is the Han family.

Even the weakest "Qing", the Han clan can pull out the strength of two "divisions".

Those were two reinforced "divisions", not "divisions" with only 100 tanks and 2,500 soldiers under the Zhou system.

A reinforced "division" of the Jin State, although there were still 100 chariots, but there were as many as 7,500 soldiers.

Many of the nations today may not be able to pull out a weekly "division".

As some countries in a medium-sized country, at most they can support an "army", that is, 500 chariots and 12,500 soldiers, not an "army" that the Jin State has strengthened close to 40,000 soldiers.

A strengthened "army" of the Jin State is equivalent to the three weekly "armies" of the countries, and it is also the only one in the Chinese cultural circle.

The rest of the nations, it's not that they don't want to follow the example of the Jin Kingdom, it's that they can't afford it in terms of population or productivity.

And some countries that can afford to play, such as Qin and Qi, they do not have the "domineering" of the Jin State, so they naturally continue to play the military system of the Zhou Dynasty honestly.

Lü Wu learned that there was a garrison on the edge of the fief with the Fan family, and it was inevitable that he would be nervous.

The old Lu family is operating pottery, although the amount of walking is not large, but in the past year or two, the Fan family has not looked for the old Lu family to talk about the cause of pottery.

Many times it is a good thing to want to talk about the opposite, and it is even more intimidating to be silent.

Looking at how the Fan clan treats the rest of the families that also sell pottery, either suppressing them or directly extinguishing them, how could Lu Wu not think about it?

Song Bin saw that Lu Wu's face was wrong, and then thought that the battle of the nobles of the Jin Kingdom was far more bloody than that of the rest of the countries, and he couldn't help but look bad.

Just because not everyone can afford to raise an army casually.

"Lord, the cottage is quite old, not like a new one." Song Bin guessed with some caution: "Or is it that the Fan family hides it and does not announce it?" ”

That's it!

Although the old Lu family was engaged in pottery making, they did not sell it on a large scale, and the sale was only in the circle of the Wei vassal family, and it was all a transaction that Lu Wu personally contacted and negotiated.

was so cautious, he also became in-laws with the Han family, the Wei family and the Zhao family, and he had a good relationship with the Zhi family, and even made friends with some middle-class nobles.

Fan's private army was hidden, and it happened to be discovered by Song Bin and others?

Of course, no matter what Fan wanted to do, Lu Wu had to guard against it.

Song Bin said: "He didn't notice it. ”

Lu Wu nodded and said, "Keep an eye on it from afar, I want to keep abreast of the movements of the cottage garrison at any time." ”

Although the words and sentences did not conform to this era, Song Bin understood it at once.

As for the gathering of troops to pull out that cottage in the past?

That is not Lu Wu's territory.

He moved the handle of his knife outside the country, and no matter how he killed it, the rest of the nobles knew that at most it was a side-eye.

Once there is a move in the country, what is better to provoke than self-improvement is to find a pump; Beat a nobleman who is weaker than himself? Regardless of how the law of the country will deal with it, it will first cause an overreaction from the rest of the nobles.

Lu Wu thought about it and decided to pay close attention to it secretly, but he didn't go over there to make any big moves.

He also needs to communicate with a few in-laws, and then find a friendly family to test a wave, and try his best to find out what the situation of the Fan family is, so as to avoid that the Fan family really wants to do something, and they are all killed in front of the house before they know that they have been killed.

It's the spring of the new year again.

Every family has to prepare for the start of spring ploughing.

Today, the total cultivated land of the old Lu family is 28,000 mu.

It's just that the population has exceeded 30,000, and 28,000 acres of cultivated land alone is not enough at all.

Lu Wu planned to concentrate manpower and material resources on a large scale to open up new cultivated land before spring ploughing, and other things could be slowed down, and the amount of land reclaimed to a total of 50,000 mu would be carried out.

The retainers couldn't agree more.

Yu Xian said that with the current population of the old Lu family, they need to have at least 250,000 mu of arable land.

He also reminded Lu Wu that even 250,000 acres would not be enough.

After all, the population of the Lao Lu family should continue to increase, and the cultivated land must also increase in order to achieve self-sufficiency.

Why didn't you concentrate manpower and material resources on arable land last year?

Isn't that obvious?

There are many things to do when you are new to the city, so you have to have a sheltered place to live, and you can get the house first, and then clear the road, so that the rest of the things can be done better.

Lu Wu had a plan in his heart.

The fiefdom of the old Lu family is mostly mountainous, otherwise it is a basin, which is actually not suitable for large-scale cultivation.

Even if he is now cultivating farmland, he has to carefully plan where the forests should be left behind so as not to cause excessive damage to the environment.

This is not to consider any environmental greening, it is something that must be paid attention to.

For example, if the banks of the Fenshui River are turned into arable land, it will be of great benefit in a short period of time.

But!

Once there is more rain in a certain season, believe it or not, the old Lu family is going to stage a tragedy?

Therefore, it is not suitable to choose all the arable land in low-lying places.

Lü Wu carved out a piece of mountainous land, personally supervised it, and cultivated terraces in a small area as an experimental nature and investigation value.

When he oversaw the opening of terraces in the mountains, he suddenly felt stupid.

What's wrong with being mountainous?

You don't need to do any terraces, you can plant fruit trees!

Of course, he didn't want to engage in fruit wholesale.

In these years, the transportation efficiency is so worrisome, and the fruit should rot before it is shipped.

"Sake brewing!" Lu Wu couldn't wait to slap himself in the face a few times, and thought to himself with annoyance: "Am I stunned before?" How do you forget about it??? ”

He struggled to recall what he had seen and heard in the national capital, Nitta.

As the capital of a country, Xintian will be the vane of the Jin Kingdom, and even lead the fashion of the Central Plains countries, including what commodities will inevitably be found in the market of Xintian.

Now, of course, there is wine, but there are not so many types, and it is basically made from various grains.

Without distillation technology, filtration technology is also not available, and any sake will appear cloudy.

In addition, there are very few shops that sell alcohol in the market.

This is understandable.

There are not enough people to eat, and whoever is sick takes out the grain to make wine.

"Is there any fruit wine?" Lu Wu tried very hard to recall, and there was no correlation in his memory, he thought, "Let's send someone to find out." ”
