Chapter 191: The confidence of the old Lu family to overtake in the corner

What is the current situation like?

The social hierarchy of the Hu people is very low, and most of them still live the life of primitive people.

It is not a stone tool or a bone tool.

It is Ru Mao who drinks blood.

In the current era, the nobles of Zhuxia looked down on the alien races in the north, thinking that none of them could fight.

Everything is about equal strength.

I can hold you to the ground at any time and do whatever I want, why should I respect you!

After doing whatever you want, you can still get praise from your friends, what kind of good face can you give to the northern aliens?

Therefore, it is really difficult for the nobles on the Zhuxia side to take the northern alien race seriously, and if they encounter it, they will be hammered, and it is impossible to solicit them, and what they are afraid of is to lower their style.

Now the only alien race that can make the kingdom under the command of the Zhou royal family look at it is the Chu State.

This is based on the premise that the vassal states have dealings with the Chu State, that is, the strength of the Chu State is recognized.

The state of Chu felt that none of the vassal states under the Zhou royal family could fight except for the state of Jin.

As a result, the state of Chu can still speak well when facing the state of Jin, and it is a little unable to be a good person when facing the rest of the countries.

If a small nobleman (village chief) on the Jin side of the Jin Kingdom went to the leader of a tribe of several thousand people, saying that he wanted to accept them as his junior brother, the leader of the Hu people would feel very hesitant and consider whether to obey or not.

This little nobleman of the Jin Kingdom went to the Hu tribe with only dozens or hundreds of people, told the tribal leaders that they would give a decent identity, and asked them if they would like to follow him, believe it or not, the Hu people would not even hesitate, and replied directly: I do!

This is about the Jin Kingdom against the northern alien races, and the rest of the countries are worse.

Even the largest alien state, the Chu State, respected the Jin State, and the rest of the alien races were left with fear in the face of the Jin State.

Now it is a bit unjust to say that the state of Chu is not a member of Zhuxia.

The monarch of Chu is a descendant of Zhuan, so why is he not a member of Zhuxia!

The vassal states of the Zhou royal family said that the people of Chu were of a different race, but there was no problem at all.

It's not because the Chu people like to call themselves barbarians.

There are so many countries under the Zhou royal family, but they are only vassal states, which are a system of their own.

The state of Chu is not a feudal division of the Zhou royal family, they have their own set.

Now the state of Zhou and the state of Chu are really not the same "country", not only the people of Chu themselves do not recognize it, but also the vassal states under the Zhou royal family.

At present, the mainstream is to play with Chu State, and only after playing well can it be famous.

Lu Wu tossed in the north, even if anyone noticed it, they wouldn't take it seriously at all, and even laughed at the old Lu family's style was so low.

Lu Wu, who had been paying attention to whether it would cause any bad public opinion, was completely happy after he found out that no one took it seriously.

If it weren't for the need to be on guard against a stab from the country at all times, he would have wanted to concentrate all his forces to open up north, and expand his territory to the grasslands all the way.

Now use all your strength to expand outward?

It would be a very stupid thing to do.

Lu Wudu felt like this, and the thoughts of the rest of the nobles of the Jin Kingdom were even more conceivable.

He subdued a tribe of Di people and made his own rounds.

If you take the Jin State as a standard, the Chu State among the various foreign races, the social level and scientific and technological level are different from the Jin State, but the gap is not in the scientific and technological level.

In fact, the scientific and technological level of the Chu State was even a little higher than that of the Jin State, especially the smelting technology and resource gathering.

During the Shang Dynasty, the ancients had actually smelted iron. (Hebei Gaocheng, Beijing Pinggu unearthed two Shang Dynasty iron blade copper Yue)

In the monster house in East Asia, the first large-scale iron smelting country was the Chu state, and then the Jin state in the Central Plains followed, and the rest of the vassal states also followed in the follow-up, but the Qin state in the northwest border was bent on improving the bronze technology.

Because it has been studying the use of iron, Chu is also the first country in East Asia to develop plating and gilding technology, and later Wu and Yue have also made breakthroughs in technology, but the Central Plains countries are lagging behind in this regard.

Lü Wu heard that the state of Chu had begun to use iron products on farm tools.

At that time, he was so surprised that he couldn't believe it.

After repeated verification, the Chu State has indeed begun to use iron farm tools, but it is only a small number of Chu nobles who are engaged in it, and there is no large-scale formation effect.

In terms of volume, the territory of the state of Chu is very large.

The state of Chu developed until the Warring States period, and their territory has always been the largest, but the efficiency of resource and population utilization is the lowest.

Considering the social pattern of the Chu State, the infighting of the nobles on their side was not lower than that of the Jin State, and the nobles had been fooling the monarch until the destruction of the country, and a technology was developed from the Spring and Autumn Period, but it was covered by a few families until the destruction of the country and was not promoted, which was immediately believable.

In fact, it is not only Chu State.

Lu Wu knew that the Han family, the Wei family, and the Zhao family also mastered several core technologies.

They were good enough to wear the same pants for a while, didn't they share their skills?

Or rather, they can actually snoop and steal technology, but the key is that they don't do it.

Until entering the Warring States Period, it should be the Han clan that is strong or powerful in long-range attacks; The Zhao family played animal husbandry and pointed out the cavalry technology tree; Wei took the metallurgical and heavy infantry route.

Don't look at it as just a class, there will be no shortage of technologies contained in it.

It's just that the three have been in contact with each other for so long, and none of them secretly "lit up" each other's technology lines, which only proves that they know what they should do and what they can't do.

Like Fan's, Zhi's, Shi's...... and so on, they don't have this kind of understanding.

In view of the guarantee of the Han, Wei and Zhao clans's "festival exercises", Lu Wu only needs to prevent not being cheated in the line, and the technical matters are somewhat relieved.

This is the premise that Wei and Han can obviously steal technology, or force Lu Wu to offer technology, but they don't do that.

Now Lu Wu didn't want to do much else.

He needs to set up a fresh character for himself that will not be feared too much.

Not only that, but he also has to be able to make a big enough fuss that if he gets away with it, it will lead to the destruction of the family.

In this way, it is a very good idea to run to the frontier and play with the aliens in the north.

Conquering a tribe of Di people is just the beginning.

Next, Lü Wu needs to truly control the tribe, and then put on such a layer of skin, constantly encroaching on the land and population.

To put it bluntly, with the size and strength of a family, he wants to do the successful business that the Qin State has done. (Annexation and Fusion of Sijon)

"Anyone looks down on the northern aliens, does they?" Lu Wu was already on his way back to the 'yin' land, and he habitually looked at a certain place without focus, thinking, "It seems that I really can't look at the place......

He saw a primitive society in the Di tribe.

In addition to the basic family structure, the use of tools is really too far behind the Central Plains.

Zhu Xia is ahead of the surrounding alien races, which is a norm in history.

It doesn't seem to be absolute, the Khitan was once ahead of the curve on the technology side? (The first nomad to master advanced smelting technology)

The key is that the current northern alien races, not only are they backward in terms of social level and technology level, but they have not yet faced the barbarism of the summers.

Look at Gallo following behind in a chariot.

Ever since the boy stepped on the chariot, it was as if he had done something remarkable, and he didn't stop for a moment.

In addition to feeling awesome about being able to ride in a chariot, he cared more about the clothes on his body.

In order to be worthy of this summer dress, he even demanded that the wearing steps must be correct with an absolutely serious attitude, and the hair was washed to the point of breaking the skin of his skull, in order to be able to tie his hair.

The rest of the Di people who felt that they had become part of the Jin Kingdom, they felt a kind of inferiority complex for themselves to be wearing sheepskin jackets or animal skin clothes, so that they mixed in with a group of soldiers and walked with their heads down.

Lü Wu brought these attached Di people back to the territory, mainly to let them have a clearer understanding of themselves.

In later generations, the bottom of the foot basin occupied the treasure island from "I Daqing", and the first thing to do was to let people with heads and faces go to the foot basin chicken to visit the industrial base.

To do so is to show your strength, to use this power to deter and intimidate.

The old Lu family was only a new nobleman in the Jin Kingdom, and the existing armed forces may be inferior to some medium-sized families with historical background.

It is relatively easy for Di people, who don't understand anything and don't know anything, to witness their own strength.

They entered the land of "Lu".

The spring of the new year has arrived, and the people stationed in the "Lu" area are already preparing for spring sowing.

Walking on the avenue, you can see the busy crowd in the wilderness.

The people of Zhuxia are used to this kind of thing.

But not with the Di people.

When they saw the farming system, they remembered that they or other people who were also engaged in farming, and they could distinguish the difference in social hierarchy without seeing it.

"Stream water available?" Lu Wu walked halfway to the park, stood next to a stream, looked at the water wheel being installed, and asked, "How to place it?" ”

The craftsman, who was originally busy, immediately knelt down when he saw Lu Wu.

The reply was made by a Xu who was honored to announce his name before saying, "The craftsman has measured the running water, and it is available; A watermill separates a few miles. ”

The clear water of the stream is flowing, and you can see the aquatic plants below.

Before installing the waterwheel, they first reinforced the embankment in this section of the stream, got the right timber to build the frame, and all that was left was to install the round wooden wheels, plus the rest of the supporting parts.

If Lu Wu wants to overtake in a corner, he shouldn't just pounce on metal smelting, how can he forget the black technology equipment under the farming system?

As soon as he did this, the waterwheel that would have appeared only in the Eastern Han Dynasty appeared in advance.

Next, they went to the section of the stream where the waterwheel had been installed, and saw that the round waterwheel did not need manpower, and the trough plate fished the stream water from the low place, fed it into the overhead wooden canal, and then transported it to the field.

Don't say it's those Di people who haven't seen the world.

Except for Lu Wu and some people who had seen it for a long time, regardless of their status, they only felt shocked and happy after watching it.

Lu Wu heard that someone was using the word "divine object" to describe it, and he recognized this title in his heart.

For the farming people, the waterwheel is indeed a sacred object.

What is more embarrassing is ......, the Central Plains is now dominated by dry land, and paddy fields are only an auxiliary.

After all, the staple food nowadays is soybean (a general term for beans).

In addition, wheat and millet are also cultivated in dry fields.

Of course, they also need water to irrigate, but the amount of water used is really not that much, and the wind and rain are completely sufficient.

The large-scale paddy fields in the north are not used to grow rice, but actually to grow rape flowers!

Therefore, Lu Wu developed a waterwheel, and the extended water conservancy forging technology made the metallurgical industry benefit the most.

In this way, it can be understood why there is only one waterwheel at an interval of five miles, or even farther away.
