Chapter 192: Quickly mess into a pot of porridge
Lu Wu returned to the "yin" land.
This is the third year he's spent here, the fifth year of his age. (577 B.C.)
There are too few festivals now, but the festivals of the New Year exist.
Of course, the festival is limited to the great nobility.
This is because the interpretation of the year and month is on the wizard's side, and their responsibility is to let people know the year.
What the early "witches" were like can only be glimpsed from a few words.
Now the profession of "witch" is still mysterious, and its status has been reduced a lot.
Their main business was divination and healing, and they were also responsible for informing the nobles of the month of the year.
Originally, the "witch" should have informed all the nobles about the month.
It may be that it is difficult for the little nobles to come up with gifts that satisfy the "witch", and they are the first to start snubbing the little nobles.
Gradually, even the middle nobles began to slack off.
As a result, not only do ordinary people not know "time", but even small and medium-sized nobles have forgotten the sun and moon.
Lao Lu's family only began to "celebrate the New Year" last year, and the basis for celebrating the New Year is that there are "witches" who come to Lao Lu's house to explain clearly what month and day it is.
At the beginning, Lu Wu understood many things, and once thought that there was no calculation formula for years, months, and days in Spring and Autumn Period, but it was not like that.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty only reformed the "calendar year".
Before Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, he had his own set of chronological methods (颛顼calendar), but he just changed it to the "Taichu Calendar" and took a step closer to find out what kind of seasonal rules.
For example, the cooling season will start in which month, and the rainy season will be long.
To understand the importance of the changing climate in the seasons to the farming people, it is necessary to say too much.
And this is another great contribution that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty brought to China in addition to shaping bones in the nation.
After Lü Wu came into contact with the "witches", he fully realized their greed.
The hospitality process must be well served, not to mention, the property must also be fed, or the next year "Wu" will not take the old Lu family to play.
Now the "New Year" is in October every year, that is, there is the "Spring Festival" festival, which is only used to prepare for farming, and the "Spring Festival" is not the same as the "New Year".
Therefore, the "winter solstice" is the "New Year" for people now.
Lu Wu's return to the 'yin' land was indispensable for the procedure of gathering retainers.
The construction of the "yin" land has been proceeding step by step.
The work on the sewers is in full swing, and in about two months, the construction of the new city walls will begin.
Lu Wu didn't want to build any brick city walls.
Even if the production of bricks can keep up, he doesn't want to be so ostentatious.
The city wall will still be built of rammed earth, with a height of seven meters and a width of three and a half meters.
In addition, at present, the vast majority of cities do not have such a thing as a moat, and the old Lu family also has no intention of getting it.
To put it bluntly, siege warfare rarely breaks out in the current war, and it is generally the two armies that set up in the field and have a dignified confrontation.
Once you can't beat it in the wild, you will enter the stage of siege warfare, and it will be clear that your strength is inferior to others.
Lu Wu knew very well that he had really fallen to the point where he could only rely on the city to resist stubbornly, and without foreign aid as the premise, defeat would be a matter of time.
Therefore, of course, the defense of the city should be valued, but more resources should not be consumed, and it is enough to meet the requirements.
Before the construction of the city walls began, some buildings were built in the area planned to become a castle.
These include the main residence of Lü Wu, as well as the mansions of all the retainers.
It must be said that in the current years, there is no formal and fixed office yamen, and it is not fixed what officials work where, and they generally work in their own homes.
Lü Wu wanted to change this, and had already built a special public office.
He had the intention of building a system of official positions that could better perform their duties, but he wisely endured it.
The state has its own system, do you want to come up with another system?
Do you want to replace it?!
The state of Chu, who has already done that, is now the sworn enemy of the Zhou royal family.
Now, even if you do it at home, it is not defined by official position, but the job title cannot be arbitrary.
"Lord." Liang Xing reported: "Wei Jun has arrived in Xintian, and the king forcibly ordered him to see Sun Lin's father, but he was refused. ”
Of course, the old Lu family will always pay attention to the movements of the national [Bayi Chinese network fo] capital.
Aristocrats who don't know how to pay attention to the big and small affairs of the national capital are generally not smart.
They didn't think clearly about the relationship, the capital is the center of a country, and there are too many high-ranking figures.
The fight between these big men seems to be their own business, but when they make trouble, it will have a great impact, and even affect the whole country.
If you don't pay attention to those big shots, it's hard to say when you will die so inexplicably.
Hearing that the monarch was embarrassed by Wei Jun Wei Zang, his identity and status reached a certain level, and he saw that the level was not only that the Jin State seemed to be oppressing the country.
"Jun Shang intends to be in the Fan family?" Yu Xian used a question sentence, and said in confusion: "The Fan family has never been disobedient, why is the monarch like this?" ”
Lu Wuxin said: "Be dead." ”
This monarch is too capable of doing it, and he has shown that he can make a fuss as a little expert in death.
According to the unspoken rules of the Jin State, the families of several "Qing" have corresponding diplomatic countries.
Which "secretary" of those countries is responsible, and the "secretary" should not be less than the protection fee, but he has taken on the responsibility of protecting them.
According to the rules, defending the country is Fan's "dish", and the monarch should not bypass Fan's.
Song Bin said very honestly: "Sun's made wax." ”
Not really!
The monarch of the Jin Kingdom is doing this, how can Sun Lin's father explain to the Fan family?
Sun Lin's father is estimated to be very anxious at this stage, on the one hand, he has to deal with the pressure of his own monarch Wei Zang, and he has to explain to Fan that he has not done anything with the monarch of the Jin State.
If he doesn't operate properly, the defense of the country will still be the defense of the country, and the monarch is also the two monarchs, and the Sun family will be removed.
Lu Wu asked, "How did the 'Qing' react?" ”
Liang Xing said with a strange expression: "There is no reaction." ”
Yes?
It shouldn't be!
Think it's the "Age of Empires"?
Even the emperors of the "Age of Empires" were not able to speak their minds.
His own power is being violated, is Fan so cowardly?
Didn't Shi Xie know that once he reached the level of the Fan family, once he coaxed him once, what would it mean for the future of the family?
The recognized rule of the Jin Kingdom is that the strong are always strong!
Not to mention that it has reached the status of "Qing", the small and medium-sized nobles are in trouble, no matter how inferior their strength is, they will bite the bullet, in order to ensure their own rights and interests.
The powerful family admits when it encounters something, doesn't it admit that it is going downhill?
Lu Wu felt a little interesting.
The second good man in the Jin Kingdom is Shi Xie.
The first good man is Han Ju, and Han Ju's ranking is "grabbed" from Shi Xie.
Ge Cun said faintly: "The Luan clan and the Hao clan must be on the same page. ”
Only this explanation can clearly see why Shi Xie confessed.
It can also be seen how the monarch dares to infringe on Fan's rights and interests.
In the past, Lu Wu thought that the monarch was completely complete, and there was something wrong with his brain.
He must now admit that the monarch still has some intelligence, and knows how to take advantage of the entanglement of the situation to try to subdue the other.
Song Bin said: "There is no move to transfer troops. ”
There are many nobles in Nitta.
Every time they left the house, they were escorted by at least hundreds of samurai, and the disturbance when they went out of the city was not small.
Speaking of this, it is just to prove that they have a group of samurai in Xintian for a long time, and there are quite a few of them.
If you really want to fight, each family will not only mobilize samurai from the fiefdom to Nitta, but also order their fiefdoms to enter a state of mobilization.
The old Lu family now borders the fiefs of several "Qing", and I didn't find that the warriors in those places were gathered.
Why did Lu Wu stare at the surrounding nobles?
Because this is a vigilant Jin nobleman, the basic operation that should be there!
"Historically, did the Luan clan and the Hao clan have a fight?" Lu Wu has always been very depressed about why he has studied this period of history in the Spring and Autumn Period. He sorted out all kinds of general trends and details, and thought: "Once the fight starts, the probability of the Jin Kingdom falling apart is very high!" ”
The key is that as long as the Luan family and the Hao family are not stupid, they will not have the confidence to launch a war of annihilation if the rest of the "Qings" are not involved, or if there are no irreconcilable contradictions among the other "Qings".
They are afraid that if they make a move, the other side is not fighting alone.
Judging from all kinds of signs, the Hao family is so strong that he has no friends, and the Luan family has many friends but not that intimacy.
With a simple judgment, Lu Wu can roughly draw conclusions.
The Fan, Zhi, and Han families did not choose sides, and more middle-class nobles kept their senses, so they became the so-called neutrals.
The Luan clan pulled the Zhongxing clan and the Xun clan, and they can be on par with the first uncle and two nephews of the Hao clan in terms of strength.
It's just that there is another party, that is, the prince headed by the king.
Now that the monarch's side is doing things to their heart's content, and the neutral party has entered the theater mode, Luan's and He's can't help but continue to endure.
Lu Wu thought: "It seems to be the same situation, but it can't be fought at all." ”
He speaks his judgment.
Song Bin immediately said: "In this way, it is my family's opportunity." ”
The old Lu family wants to build a city, although it is in line with the process, it still depends on the timing.
The current atmosphere of the Jin Kingdom is very weird, a nobleman with a sense of crisis, which one is not repairing his lair?
Zhao Wu, who was in Xintian, wrote to Lu Wu to ask if the city of Zhao Di should take this opportunity to repair it quickly.
Lu Wu wondered why Zhao Wu didn't ask Han Ju, and still gave advice that he should hurry up and fix it.
By the way, Zhao Wu has already obtained the position, which is the title of "handsome".
Therefore, there is really a gap between people, and reincarnation is a technical work that determines the starting point of struggle.
Lu Wu worked hard for five years and became a middle doctor, with the military rank of "handsome".
Zhao Wu's family background is there, he is a doctor who has not done anything, and he has become "handsome" when he sees a few "Qing"!
Those "qing" will laugh or regret.
Zhao Wu's own ancestor was a "Qing", but in his generation, he was only a doctor.
Ordinary people are left with envy, jealousy and hatred.
How many people struggle for a lifetime can not achieve achievements, others have as soon as they are born.
Lu Wu said to the retainers: "What Bin said is extremely true, this is my family's opportunity. ”
What do other families like to do, do it.
While building the "Yin" land, the old Lu family needs to seize this opportunity to achieve the same results as the old winner, and swallow the alien races north of the "Lu" land!
