Chapter 220: It's good to be petty once in a while
Lu Wu is really convinced of the monarch.
It's not about anything else.
I simply admire the shameless face of asking for money.
The monarch of a country has done this, not only is the monarch himself embarrassed, but the faces of the eight "Qings" of the Jin State are placed on the table, and I don't know how many hands stretched out to "crackle" on their faces.
Lü Wu was a member of the nobility and did not come from the Gong family.
He can only be satisfied with the current situation so that he will not feel any discomfort.
If the monarch and the prince are just going to the eight "qing", the small and medium-sized nobles will definitely suffer from the fish pond.
The more critical thing is that one day the monarch and the princess will not fight with those princely families, and the small and medium-sized nobles will usher in a sad day.
Now they have their eyes brightened and they have chosen a good side to stand, and maybe they can find an opportunity to strengthen themselves.
Lü Wu sent nearly 5,000 people and a spoils of war back to his fiefdom.
Of the 5,000 or so people, more than 3,000 were in a neat family, that is, the whole family was taken into captivity; There were about 1,700 soldiers, most of them young and strong, and many of them were natives; The rest is Gong'e.
How many people the Gong clan captured from the palace city of Xu Guo, only they themselves know.
There were only 500 Gong'e that they handed over to Lu Wu, more than 300 were under the age of 20, more than 100 were over 30 years old, and there were even dozens of little girls who were not over 10 years old.
If these palace ladies want to say how beautiful they are, they may not be.
It's just that they have undergone professional training, and their temperament is better than that of the village girl.
Lu Wu didn't inquire too much, but still heard some rumors.
The Gong clan captured more than five hundred palace ladies in the palace city of Xu Guo, but nearly a thousand.
Xu Guo is a small country, with a population of only about 100,000, Xu Jun has so many palace laves, it is really extravagant!
And the Gong clan only took out half of the number of Gong'e to transfer to Lu Wu?
The palace ladies of the palace city of Xu Guo belong to the old Lu family!
Lu Wu didn't swallow his anger, he went to find Qi Xi first, and then wrote to the monarch.
According to the monarch's urine nature and the faces of those members of the clan, Lu Wu knew that it was impossible to get one more person from them, and he just wanted everyone to know that the old Lu family had suffered a loss.
The reality is such a situation, you can't swallow your anger if you suffer a loss, otherwise how would you know that the old Lu family has suffered a loss?
The nobles didn't know that the old Lu family was suffering, so how could they be sympathetic and write down an unreliable account to the monarch?
In view of the fact that Ji Shouman has hardly done anything since he succeeded to the throne, he is just a tossing and turning.
The old Lu family continued to suffer losses from the monarch and members of the clan.
On what day in the future, does it become excusable for Lü Wu to refuse an order from the monarch?
So, he's just getting vaccinated first.
Several legions that went out to sweep Xu Guo came back one after another.
A few of the "Qing" who led the army knew what the monarch had done, but they didn't do anything.
The nobles who had gained something under the "Qing" were very careful to arrange manpower immediately, and anyway, they quickly sent the prisoners and booty back to their fiefdoms.
Luan Shu's son Luan Huang deliberately came to Lu Wu one day, and after chatting for a while, he mentioned that Lu Wu took the lead in sending the harvest back to the fiefdom, which was really a good job.
Lu Wu has only been to Xintian a few times in six years, and the only time he has had contact with Luan Huang is a very unpleasant hunting, and he doesn't know anything about Luan Huang.
This time, Lu Wu got along with Luan Huang alone and realized Luan Huang's domineering.
And Luan Huang should have received an explanation, and he had tried his best to restrain his arrogance in front of Lu Wu, but he still had a face of "it's your honor to talk to you".
It is conceivable what Luan Huang usually looks like in the world.
He will come to Lu Wu, purely Luan Shu's explanation.
In addition, Luan Shu is the leader of the nobles because of his position, and it is his duty to ensure the interests of the nobles.
Those things that happened have happened, and Luan Shu only let his son show his attitude on his behalf afterwards, which can only be said to be worthy of the old Zhengzhi family.
In doing so, it is expressed that the Luan family is on the side of the aristocratic class, and will not offend the monarch too much.
What is the art of shoji?
That's it!
Luan Huang hoped that Lu Wu would not make any other moves.
Lu Wu showed a stunned expression at that time, and asked more bluntly, the monarch has reversed his word, and the marshal, the ruling and the Chinese army will have such an attitude?
I guess I didn't expect Lu Wu to be so upright?
Luan Huang was both annoyed and embarrassed, and responded directly with the action of "slipping away".
In the days that followed, Lü Wu occasionally met with Wei Xiang, and more often stayed in his camp without moving.
Before you know it, snowflakes are falling from the sky.
The order for the transition was given.
"Marching in the snow......" Lu Wu didn't want to complain more, and said to Wei Xiang, who was in the same car: "Wu Jun has arrived at 'Zhongli'?" ”
This is the only way to explain why the march in the snow.
I have to mention that the time of the alliance is too picky, and I don't choose what season, but I chose a snow season.
In fact, the march was fine when it first snowed, at least the ground was still hard.
Waiting until the snow melts before marching is a matter of guilt.
They marched south through the kingdom of Xu for seven days, and were extremely lucky to reach the place of "Zhongli" in the sleet weather.
"Wu, borrow some tools from my house." Wei Xiangcai would not be polite to Lu Wu, and said with a smile: "Your tools are excellent." ”
Lu Wu asked Wei Rui, who was following behind, to do it.
There are many tools in the old Lu family, and they are very easy to use, and they are very clear to their own family, and they also know a few close ones.
It's not intimate to a certain extent, or if you want to express something, but no one will come to Lu Wu casually to borrow it.
When Wei Xiang came, he didn't plan to leave immediately.
He followed Lu Wu and watched the old Lu family's auxiliaries camp.
After watching it for a while, he said with great emotion: "The speed of the Yin clan is beyond all the others. ”
Doesn't seem like a surprise about this?
Lu Wu is a person who pays attention to efficiency in everything he does, with his requirements in front, the retainers and the rest of the people, dare to grind foreign workers?
In addition, in fact, if the people who get the task move slowly, it is not the reason for deliberately grinding foreign workers.
For example, there are only so many tools in each house, and they are quite difficult to use, and people want to finish their work quickly, but the tools used are not allowed!
The same is logging, the auxiliary soldiers of the old Lu family go to the woods with all kinds of tools that they need to use, and they have finished cutting the timber they want to finish the work after a short time, and the auxiliary soldiers of the rest of the family are still working there "poof-poof-".
Waiting for the camp of the old Lu family to be set up, the auxiliaries of the other families pulled the wood back.
Lu Wu thought about it for a while, divided his auxiliary soldiers into several batches, and sent them out to help the Han clan, the Zhi clan, the Fan clan and the Hao clan.
In addition, he has not forgotten Cheng Hua, his old boss.
Helped so many people, isn't it good to forget the monarch?
This is not the "Age of Empires", and the monarch of the Jin Kingdom does not have the authority to say what it is.
Even in some countries with more powerful monarchies, the nobles worked for the monarch out of duty, not obligation.
Therefore, Lu Wu remembered that the few families who had helped him, although it was not good to help the monarch, it was not a crime.
When the nobles learned of Lu Wu's actions, the small and medium-sized nobles secretly wondered that Lu Wu's courage was also fatter, and they were not afraid that the monarch would have opinions to wear small shoes, and most of them still felt that Lu Wu was very real, and he expressed his actions when he suffered a loss.
The attitudes of several "secretaries" are also inconsistent.
The Yin clan felt the most comfortable about Lu Wu's approach, and sent someone to send some local products of Xu Guo to Lu Wu.
Han Ju drove back the auxiliaries sent by Lü Wu, and ordered someone to tell Lü Wu to know how to be a minister.
The rest of the "Qings" who received Lu Wu's assistance did not make any extra moves.
"Brother-in-law......" Zhao Wu came to Lu Wu in the snow, and was surprised to find that Zhigang and Wei Xiang were both there, still eating a kind of food. He changed his words and said: "Wu, don't take Han Bo as ......"
Lu Wu, Zhi Gang, and Wei Xiang are eating hot pot!
In fact, there are not many rich ingredients, at least there are no vegetables, but mutton and beef are enough.
He beckoned Zhao Wu to sit down, and asked Xiao Bai to add a pair of tableware before saying, "How dare I blame Uncle Han?" ”
Who doesn't know that Han is notoriously afraid of things.
You can admit anything you encounter at home, don't expect Han Ju to take the initiative to cause trouble.
If you want to say what Han Ju is doing, it seems that he has some courage, but in the matter of helping the Zhao family's main sect, it is a bit like the courage that "Qing" should have.
It's just that the reason why Han Ju used his strength to help Zhao Wu was that no matter how he looked at it, he was begging for Zhengzhi, but he was hiding too deeply.
Eat hot pot!
Lu Wu ate it four years ago.
In the cold swishing season, is there anything more suitable than eating hot pot?
It's a pity that I can't make the hot pot base, so I can only make bone broth, and then I can't find chili peppers to add flavor.
Lu Wu found cumin, a plant that has existed in the Great Heavenly Empire since ancient times, but it is not suitable for eating hot pot, but is more suitable for grinding and using it for barbecue.
He remembered that certain kinds of chili peppers were actually found in Zhuxia, but he had forgotten which areas they were in.
When Zhi Gang heard Han Ju, a smile flashed on his face, and he endured it very hard to make any comments on Han Ju.
Wei Xiang said: "Han Bonai is a wise man, and he knows the way to do something and not to do something. ”
I haven't arrived home yet, and the reason for it is already there.
No one has come up with a single subject.
In what Lu Wu did this time, Wei Xiang was actually one of the people who couldn't understand it.
He didn't want to ask Lu Wu, he felt that as the head of a family, what to do was his own choice, and he believed that Lu Wu had his own intentions in doing so.
Zhao Wu, who came over in a hurry, originally wanted to do something for the old Lu family and the old Han family, but with Zhi Fu and Wei Xiang, it was difficult to say a lot of things.
Zhao Wu had stayed in Lao Lu's house for a while, and he was no stranger to eating hot pot, skillfully brushing the mutton, and eating it silently.
In this tent, there is Wei Xiang, the first genius of the Jin Kingdom, and Zhigang, the second genius who has been challenging the first talent.
The two of them absolutely did not admit that they were inferior to others in terms of wisdom, and Zhao Wu had already exchanged words on some things several times before he came.
In these years, it is said that he is a talent, not how powerful he is at reciting poetry, but generally refers to a flexible brain and good speech.
Lu Wu and Zhao Wu ate their own, listening to Zhi Fu and Wei Xiang constantly chattering one by one.
"Why didn't Wu say anything?" In Zhao Wu's opinion, Lu Wu's wisdom is very high, and he has a vision that is stronger than anyone else.
Lu Wu smiled and said, "I don't fight for the title of the first talent." ”
Zhao Wu thought about it, didn't know what way to understand, and nodded his head violently.
