Chapter 85: Again, it's so hard to be a lord!
Under normal circumstances, only the "Qing" of the Jin State had independent qualifications to lead the army.
Abnormal circumstances, such as the situation of the battlefield, or where the army needs to be used but there is no need to dispatch an army, the rest of the nobles have the opportunity to independently lead the army.
A long time ago, as the commander of the first brigade, the doctor still had the opportunity to independently command the army and conquer the nations.
As the scale of the war became larger and larger, it was difficult for even the "commanders" of the first division to get the opportunity to independently command the troops.
The current war of the Jin State is generally a whole army, and the commander of the army will naturally be the secretary.
Therefore, it is not a normal situation for Qing not to move.
In the form of the family sending troops alone, that is, like the Wei clan did this time?
Unless it is an enemy country that invades the territory of the Jin Kingdom, it will not be seen.
If you resist the invasion of the enemy, you will lose whatever damage you cause, but it is not without a way to harvest.
If the enemy army can be completely annihilated, it is natural that a large number of prisoners of war and supplies will be used as trophies.
The more important thing is that the Chinese countries pay attention to etiquette when they are fighting, and they feel that if they are going to lose, they can surrender, and whether they can get something depends on negotiation.
Lu Wu returned to the territory and went to see his grandmother as soon as possible.
Actually, there's not much to say.
The old grandmother saw that Lu Wu came back without missing arms and legs, and chatted casually, not to talk about the expedition, let alone the harvest, and asked Lu Wu to gather the retainers to fulfill the responsibilities of the head of the family, ending this meeting.
Lu Wu actually wanted to meet his ladies, and he also saw them when he walked into the lobby.
They had already prepared for the ceremony.
It's an ancient ritual.
When several ladies saw Lu Wu, they knelt down and bowed, saying "Wuyun is long", and then said some other auspicious words.
Then, under the leadership of his wife Zhao Yu, they unloaded and freshened Lu Wu's armor, waited for the change of clothes and combed his hair, and brought food and wine.
After doing this, they were reluctant to stay.
The food and wine were used for LΓΌ Wu to eat, and also to entertain the retainers.
That is to say, Lu Wu's meeting with several ladies needs to be completely handled until the matter is completely handled, including listening to the retainers report that something happened to the old Lu family when he was not there.
Not long after Lu Wu sat down, the retainers came over one after another.
A group of retainers congratulated each other, saying that they wished the family better development, not only to congratulate Lu Wu personally.
This one is quite feudal.
Of course, the head of the family is important, but the family is even more important.
In fact, Lu Wu went out during the family construction stage, and as soon as he left, he did not bring back enough harvest, which was a dereliction of duty.
And bringing back the harvest is something to celebrate, but it's a matter of course.
After doing it one by one, Lu Wu didn't see how happy his retainers were, on the contrary, they all advised him not to leave for so long in the future, so that he almost wondered if he didn't bring anything back.
Yu Xian, the first retainer, reported first.
In the month and a half after Lu Wu left, Yu Xian commanded in accordance with the established construction plan and opened up more than 8,000 acres of cultivated land, and the development of new cultivated land is also continuing.
At the same time, some irrigation systems are being dug in an orderly manner.
Of course, cultivated land should continue to be developed, but it is not a matter of time and a half.
According to Lu Wu's estimates, the old Lu family needs at least 180,000 mu of cultivated land.
Yu obviously focused on the development of cultivated land, and only then briefly mentioned the collection of materials for the construction of the city.
He believes that according to the current progress of collection, it will not take as long as two years, and a year and a half will be able to consider turning the construction of the city from a plan into a reality.
Lu Wu must have thanked Yu Xian for his dedication in his absence, gave him wine and meat, and invited him to drink together.
Then there is Song Bin to report.
He was in charge of the family's military, including the security inspection of the realm and overseeing the training of the samurai.
Before leaving, Lu Wu asked Song Bin to gather another 500 young men for training.
Song Bin first finished talking about the run-in of samurai from different families before talking about the training of the temporary lord's armament.
Overall, a month and a half is only enough time to teach those people the rules.
Martial arts training, including boiling the body or something, takes more time.
Lu Wu actually wants to recruit more people, it is very practical that the old Lu family is in the construction stage, any labor force is extremely valuable, and five hundred young people are not working, and several retainers have some opinions, how can they be transferred more.
The feudal system determines one point, even if the head of the family is heaven, but he can't make a word.
Otherwise, if the retainer has an opinion, there will be some consequences if it really causes trouble, and it will appear that the head of the family is incompetent, and the retainer will be disappointed.
The head of the family disappoints the retainers, believe it or not, they either kill the head of the family and support the next generation; Or suicide, or goodbye?
Wei Rui waited for Song Bin to finish his report, looked left and right, and felt that it was his turn.
He is in charge of population statistics, and he is ashamed to say that even if a month and a half have passed, the statistics have not been completed, and the progress should only be two or three out of ten?
Lu Wu was well aware of the difficulty of the census, praised Wei Rui for his seriousness, urged it to be completed as soon as possible, and then gave wine and meat, but he was not invited to drink together.
That is, praise for seriousness can be mentioned, otherwise what should be said?
Several more retainers reported one after another, but they were in charge of the tasks assigned by the rest of their colleagues, and they showed their faces in front of Lu Wu, saying that there was no need to talk too much about things as a retainer like me.
Lu Wu ate and drank with his retainers to enhance their relationship, and there was always an end to the banquet.
And what they were doing was a family feast in the true sense of the word.
Han Wuji, Wei Jiang, and Zhao Wu knew that there was such a banquet, and if they wanted to find Lu Wu, they had to find another time.
The banquet was over, and Lu Wu pondered that he could go and have a good time with a few ladies, right?
However, he apparently did not have personal time of his own.
The rest of the retainers left, but Zhuo stayed.
He is the old man of the old Lu family, and after the new retainer was added to the family, he did not fight, did not rob, and did not socialize with his colleagues, but he won the unanimous respect of the new retainers.
Those new retainers also understand that they are new retainers, and some of the secret projects of the old Lu family will be in charge of Zhuo Lai.
There is nothing to envy or envy about this, it is an obvious necessity.
Seeing that Zhuo hadn't left, Lu Wu thought about it and waved his hand to let the serving slave retreat.
He stood up with the wine cup in his hand, walked to Zhuo's side, bowed and invited him to drink.
Zhuo turned sideways to avoid Lu Wu, who was saluting, and then picked up the wine cup and drank together.
He saw that Lu Wu no longer returned to the main seat and sat next to him, with a comfortable smile on his face.
"Lord." Zhuo said with a smile: "The brick kilns in the mountains are non-stop day and night, and the bricks have been piled up into mountains. β
Lu Wu thought about it too.
Before he left, he added a lot of manpower, and set up four new brick-burning kilns, and a month and a half has passed, can there be fewer bricks?
"Another ......" Zhuo looked left and right, and said in a low voice: "The lord ordered the site to be selected, and the minister did not know where to be, so he only set up a workshop where the lord pointed out." β
The need to deliberately keep the voice down is naturally a project that needs to be kept secret.
It's nothing.
Lao Lu's family has its own coal and iron ore, and if they can't make big moves, it doesn't mean that they can't make any moves.
The workshop is built from scratch, and the foundation is slowly laid.
Lu Wu instructed: "You can transport the bricks back." β
When he said this, his eyes saw Wei Han standing in the inner corridor and winked at her.
Wei Han saluted, looked at Zhuo, who was still there, smiled and turned back.
Because of the angle, Zhuo didn't see Wei Han who had come.
He replied succinctly: "Wow! β
The brick kiln was fired, and the bricks also had a sufficient number of accumulations.
For the time being, building a city with bricks is too extravagant and ostentatious.
You should build a comfortable house!
As for building a house with bricks?
Who built a house with bricks, and the bricks were directly exposed, without a layer of soil (decoration)?
After chatting for a while, Zhuo also said goodbye and left.
Lu Wu took a deep breath and wondered if he could have personal time, right?
He stood up, and walked a little heavily, thinking to himself, "First of all, I have to keep my pregnant lady warm, so that they don't feel left out." The rest...... Hehehehehe! Hold it for so long, see how I clean you up! β
