The old Lu family suddenly increased the population by two hundred.

If there are no new sources of revenue, it will not be revitalized by increasing the number of people, but it will be a slow decline to a very fast bankruptcy.

The old grandmother told Lu Wu to do whatever she wanted, she didn't just act with her mouth, she silently planned new rations, took out a small amount of goods to build a new house, and planned to go back to her mother's house to ask for help.

She originally wanted to go to the Lu family and couldn't support it, so she had to try to go back to her parents' house for help.

Now, she sees the hope that Lu Wu can revitalize the family, and maybe even go one step further and use her hole cards in advance.

Lu Wu didn't know what his grandmother's name was for so long.

Many of the younger generations know the names of their parents from outsiders.

After all, as a grandson, of course, he will only call grandma, and it is impossible to call his name directly, right?

Lü Wu still received a gift from Wei Xianglai's house, and only then did he know that his grandmother was called Lü Han.

In other words, the old grandmother is a member of the Han family who married the old Lu family.

"Zu, you want to go out?" Lu Wu initially figured out what a craftsman could do, and when he wanted to plan, he listened to the report of the old man and replied casually: "I know." ”

The old man wanted to speak and stopped, and couldn't bear to remind: "Send it." ”

Chinese culture talks about the first thing about filial piety.

Lu Wu is from modern times, not that he doesn't know that filial piety comes first, but many etiquettes are not so exquisite.

"Oh, that's it......" Lu Wu put down what he was doing, and even personally planned how many people his grandmother should take when she went out, thinking: "Although she is not really a relative, her accident will benefit me more." But she didn't interfere with what I did, and even supported it. Why should I be so cold-blooded? ”

This time, the old Lu family is generous!

Lü Wu personally selected thirty warriors, and asked the elders of the family to call all the young and strong people in the people, forming a larger team than he went out, and also sent out the carriage and coachman left by the Wei clan.

When the old grandmother learned that Lu Wu had prepared the line, her eyes softened when she saw Lu Wu.

And the reason why all the young people in the people were recruited was Lu Wu's own thoughts.

He didn't want to ask directly how many young and middle-aged male laborers there were, and took advantage of his grandmother's going out to take a look.

The old man didn't dare to fool the master.

The subjects did not dare not come when they were recruited.

but seventy-six were young and strong.

Of the nearly 500 subjects, there are 76 young and strong, and it seems that the population structure of this fiefdom is quite healthy.

No, or overhealth, which leads to alternative unhealth.

Looking for an opportunity, Lu Wu asked the elder of the family about the family situation of the subjects.

From some words and phrases of the old family, he deduced the current situation that is not optimistic.

Of the more than 500 subjects, the ratio of men to women is two men and one woman, and the number of elderly people accounts for less than 20 percent of them, and children account for 30 percent.

It will be the current situation, the reason is that after the old head of the old Lu family died in the war, the family's conscription only came out of the samurai, and did not bring the young man to the battlefield.

In these years, the nobles who went out to win the war could receive post-war rewards according to their merits, and some of the spoils on the battlefield did not have to be handed over.

The samurai and young men who followed the battle, after they returned, they needed to take out at least sixty percent of the harvest and dedicate it to the master's family.

There is another situation.

For example, if you win an expedition and receive tribute from other countries, the king should give the nobles a reward (dividends) appropriately. It is not counted in the credit book for a particular expedition.)

The old Lu family's Lu Wu was still young, and he only sent the warriors to the battle, and without the nobles to lead them, the rest of the nobles would not take those warriors seriously, and there would be few opportunities to obtain the spoils of war.

Even, without the nobles accompanying them, all the dirty work is done by the warriors of the old Lu family, and they will be selected first when they are sent to death.

This is the reason why the samurai of the old Lu family are getting worse and worse.

The family has no additional income, and cannot give back to the people, and even the people still need to give, forming a vicious circle.

For example, the old Lu family could not buy female slaves to give to the subjects as mothers-in-law.

Therefore, the nobles who only know how to exploit their subjects at present are destined to have no future.

Lu Wu didn't say anything grandiose, if he really made up a big talk, it is estimated that the family elders would not understand it.

In the next few days, as the young man was taken out by his grandmother, the new samurai, craftsmen, and slaves naturally needed their own participation in the construction.

Priority is given to the samurai to allocate good land, and the slaves that the samurai should get, the old Lu family is powerless.

The craftsmen temporarily resided in the places vacated by the former slaves.

He assigned jobs to the craftsmen, mainly to make pottery and sell it as originally planned, so as to improve the family's economy in advance.

Of course, the craftsmen sent by the Wei family are mainly related to the iron pot, and the things that should be done naturally cannot be left behind.

For example, start by building the various stoves used to make the iron pots, and the necessary workshops.

Lu Wu knew how to exert the power of the collective in a more reasonable way, and commanded everyone to start by collecting materials.

Now building a house is said to be exquisite, but it is still extremely unparticular.

Get dirt.

Find enough grass of all kinds.

There is no such thing as digging a foundation, it is simply a matter of mixing with weeds after mud and starting to build a wall, clamping both sides with a fence, and leaving the doors and windows that should be there, waiting for them to dry.

When the time comes, dig a pit, insert the load-bearing columns, put the roof frame up, and fix it with the load-bearing columns and walls, and the room will be completed.

Waiting for Wei Xiang to come again, he saw the residential area that had been formed, and stood there and didn't know what to think.

This time Wei Xiang didn't ......come alone, and he couldn't actually come alone, he definitely had to have an accompanying escort force and slaves.

He also brought some friends with little difference in identity to Lao Lu's house.

Lu Wu greeted the huge team that arrived, and while seeing Wei Xiang, he also saw several young men with extraordinary temperaments.

Wei Xiang stood in place and stared at the residential area for a while, and exclaimed, "How fast! ”

How long has he been gone? Before you go, remember that there are absolutely no of those houses.

Lu Wu felt that it was a normal thing, and even felt that the speed of building a house was a little slow, but in the eyes of the Spring and Autumn people, it was very fast.

A young nobleman who looked at his right hand was a little inconvenient, he waited a little impatiently, and urged: "Phase, where is the deliciousness?" ”

This person's name is Han Wuji, and he is the eldest son of Han Ju, a general of the Jin State.

Han Ju, now one of the Eight Secretaries of the Jin Kingdom.

Because he broke his right arm when he was young, the current medical treatment is just like that, and the lack of treatment has caused the right hand to be not only inconvenient, but even somewhat deformed.

He gave up the identity of his eldest son to his younger brother Han Qi, and he became a happy guy who could eat, drink and have fun at will.

The other teenagers are the children of the Wei family.

Wei is only a doctor now, and he is not yet one of the "secretaries" of the Jin State.

The aristocracy paid attention to what kind of people were associated with people of almost equal status.

Because of his own relationship, Han Wuji is destined not to enter the leadership of the Han family, so naturally it doesn't matter, he can play happily with the children of the Wei family.

"Yes, yes, delicious." Wei Xiang planned to find an opportunity to ask Lu Wu about those houses again, so he catered to Han Wuji, looked at Lu Wu, and said, "I'm here to bother Wu." ”

This is the last time I ate cool, I will come over again in person, and bring my friends.

Otherwise, send a retainer to send the Danshu of the craftsman and samurai.

Lu Wu took a look at the huge team, and found that the warriors and craftsmen who had already returned to him looked a little excited, how could he not see anything.

There are many young and old in the huge procession, and they are the families of craftsmen and samurai.

Even, as soon as the Wei clan sent it, he decided to send it thoroughly, and even the original slaves of the samurai were brought over.

This is no longer just a simple transaction, cooking a meal or something, how can Lu Wu mind, he should even be happy because Wei Xiang came to eat, especially since Wei Xiang brought his clan and Han Wuji.

If the clansmen of the Wei family and the Han clan came to Lao Lu's house for dinner and spread the word, it would not only be as simple as having face, but also a kind of capital that could fake the tiger!
