Lu Wu didn't like to stay in Xintian.

It's not that Nitta looks shabby.

Of course, as a city that has not been in use for a long time, Xintian does not look at any unique scenic spots, and there are no scenic spots.

Xintian is special only because it is the capital of the Jin Kingdom.

If you want to find something special, I guess there are far more "towns" than other castles.

A "town" is a business district.

Every time the Jin State recruited nobles to lead troops, the assembly place could be any place, and if they lost or won, they would return to Xintian to go through the "thorny gate" procedure.

After the disbandment, the samurai of each family always need to have some fun, and shopping and visiting Goolan Temple are their first choice.

As for selling loot?

It depends.

In this year, the nobles who are eligible to share the spoils of war are all serious nobles, and the samurai are not qualified to do so.

Subjects and slaves? They are property in their own right.

Even if the samurai hid the loot privately, he had to wait for the rumors to pass before selling it.

Only when their own lords reward them can they sell them in the open.

Because there are tens of thousands of potential consumer customers every time, Xintian's business will definitely be more prosperous.

If you want to say which industry is the most developed in Xintian, it must be related to women.

It's not about buying things for your own women.

I know what it is.

This time, the number of prisoners of war assigned by Lü Wu was somewhat large.

Not only Lü Wu, but also the nobles who served in the "new army" were assigned far more prisoners of war than the rest of the "army".

This is the difference brought about by their entry into the hinterland of the Qin State.

Some aristocrats didn't need so many slaves, and they would choose to sell them in Shinta.

Lü Wu was originally assigned 12,000 male and female slaves, and then went to Lishi to buy 3,000 female slaves, which happened to be a whole piece.

Wait, is fifteen thousand a whole number?

Don't dwell on small problems.

Unlike other legions, the number of samurai among the prisoners of war in the "New Army" was relatively small.

After all, the "new army" was captured in the hinterland of Qin, and the other legions captured prisoners on the battlefield.

The old Lu family could not only increase the labor force, so that Lu Wu had to sell some of the spoils of war to purchase grain-related goods.

After being busy for almost half a month, the armed personnel and vehicles transferred from Lao Lu's family were in place.

Before Lu Wu left, no one should be missing to visit and say goodbye, and it was four busy days before he could be regarded as embarking on the way home.

During this period, there were many nobles who left Nitta.

Every nobleman brought a large number of men and vehicles.

During this period, Lu Wu transferred nearly 7,000 armed men, and the team looked quite like that, which really surprised many "well-intentioned people".

Of these 7,000 armed men, it is impossible for every one of them to be samurai.

Lu Wu had been in the reserve for a long time, and when it was not too busy, the young men among the people would be summoned in batches for training.

Of course, the food was not as good as it was at the beginning.

At first, Lu Wu was too exquisite, and could even be criticized as too extravagant.

Gradually, he learned about the situation, and he personally observed it, becoming more and more like a serious Spring and Autumn nobleman.

According to the Jin State's requirements for soldiers, less than one-third of the 7,000 armed men were qualified.

It looks like that, mainly in terms of installation.

The retainers who stayed behind in the old Lu family opened the arsenal so that everyone who was recruited had a weapon.

In just three years, the old Lu family has developed from a family strength at the level of a village chief to a lord who can pull out seven thousand armed forces with one order?

Regardless of the actual military literacy of these armed forces, it is a complete surprise to some people that they can achieve that everyone has a weapon.

After some nobles knew about such a thing, they inquired in many ways, but it was difficult to get more information.

They couldn't imagine how Lu Wu operated, and could only attribute the achievements of the old Lu family in three years to the Han family and the Wei family.

After coming to this conclusion, I don't know how many nobles pondered, do the Han family and the Wei family still have unmarried daughters?

The Han family and the Wei family are so interesting, I also want to marry a Han girl or a Wei girl!

In the development process of the old Lu family, the Han family and the Wei family of course contributed, including the Zhao family's main sect and Handan Zhao, and even the Zhi family also helped.

All in all, it was Lu Wu's own ability that was enough!

Otherwise, anyone can be supported casually, and there will be no words like "mud can't support the wall" and "Adou who can't be supported".

I don't know why, it's always faster to return home than to go out.

They walked for twenty days, and when they stepped into the "yin" land, the procession continued to move forward, and Lü Wu stopped on the side of the road to watch his fiefdom.

Halfway through, Handan Zhao's retainers chased after him.

Lü Wu met with the retainers sent by Zhao in Handan, and after verifying his identity, he learned that Zhao Zhan had not returned to Handan.

Handan is farther away from Xintian than the "Yin" side, and needs to pass through many noble territories, including the Fan family, the Zhongxing family, the Zhi family, the Han family, the Wei family, and the Hao family.

Each nobleman attaches different importance to the road, and many nobles do not have a decent road in their fiefdoms, which is very time-consuming to walk.

Handan Zhao's retainers didn't talk much about things, they didn't talk about Zhao Zhan's situation, and only asked Lu Wu if it didn't matter if he was seeking Handan Zhao's daughter to marry.

What's going on?

Can Lu Wu still regret this kind of thing???

It was probably because Zhao Zhan recognized his situation clearly, and felt that Lu Wu had officially spread his wings and flew high, and he had the psychology of gaining and losing.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Lu Wu has the care of the Han family and the Wei family, and coupled with his repeated meritorious contributions, some of his merits may be erased, but the rise is an inevitable trend.

Three years ago, the population under Lü Wu was no more than 600.

Three years later, the population under Lü Wu had exceeded 50,000 (not counting slaves), and it took less than two years to develop the "yin" land.

Compared with the rapid rise of Lü Wu, Handan Zhao entered a period of depression that could not be reversed.

Zhao Zhan was worried about gains and losses, it was nothing more than that Handan Zhao could not help Lu Wu anymore, worried that Lu Wu would be too realistic, or doubted that the Han family and the Wei family would stop it?

At that time, Lü Wu was more angry and scolded Handan Zhao's retainer for being self-righteous.

This was to take Zhao Zhan out directly, and it was determined that it was the idea of the Zhao family of Handan.

Handan Zhao's retainers were reprimanded by Lu Wu, and made a sincere and fearful attitude, but their hearts were beautiful.

An episode did not delay Lu Wu's return home, and he had now returned to his fiefdom.

Come to a pavilion.

The retainers who stayed behind brought Lu Wu's eldest son, Lu Yang, to greet them.

On this occasion, [fo] Lu Wu's second son is not qualified to play.

Naturally, there were the rest of the samurai and subjects of the old Lu family, standing together in the open space on both sides of the road.

When they saw Lu Wu, they burst into cheers.

After completing a set of procedures, Lu Wu went to the manor halfway up the mountain to have a short meeting with the retainers, and returned to the main house at the foot of the mountain despite the fact that night was about to fall.

He went to see his grandmother first.

Now we don't pay attention to the first thing about filial piety, for the nobles, the construction of fiefdoms and meritorious service is the first priority, and everything else is secondary.

Lu Wu would go to see his grandmother before and after every expedition, not to follow a set of procedures, nor to show filial piety, it has become a habit.

The old grandmother just chatted with Lu Wu for a quarter of an hour, and very understandingly asked Lu Wu to meet the ladies.

Back at the house, the ladies greeted him as usual.

This kind of thing was very important in the Spring and Autumn Period, and it was an indispensable "etiquette", in this way to distinguish who is a civilized person and who is a barbarian.

Because it's nightfall, that's all I can do.

Lu Wu teased his children for a while, and the maid came to take the children to rest, and then came to the indescribable plot.

This night, Lu Wu fell asleep in a sore back.

Following.

When Lu Wu woke up, he was depressed about how he had two arms and three legs.

Can you imagine what this scene would be?

In short, it's messy.

Being pressed while sleeping and waking up will have a painful experience.

Lu Wu moved his hands and feet away, and before he could let the blood circulate again, Han Yan, Wei Han and Zhao Xin woke up one after another.

They were very shy, and Han Yan, who was the most daring, began to complain about Wei Han.

Lu Wu listened to their chatter, and found that Zhao Xin dared to stand up to Han Yan's mouth?

This is a rare finding.

You must know that Zhao Xin has never dared to fight for anything, and he is almost habitually obedient.

Lu Wu was very curious about what happened at home when he set out on the expedition.

After a bit of banter, it's time to freshen up.

Do it yourself, that's not a thing to do!

Otherwise, raising so many servants is eating white rice?

Everything has to be served by others, which is the life that nobles should live.

At three o'clock in the morning, Yu Xian came over with many boxes of bamboo slips.

This time, Lu Wu went on an expedition and walked for about four months.

Lao Lu's family has a lot of official documents that need the head of the family to take ideas and sign them, and they have accumulated continuously.

Yesterday evening, Lu Wu took a general look at the situation of the fiefdom.

Many brick houses have already been built, and the poor ones are for subsequent decoration.

The cultivated land reclamation that Lü Wu attaches the most importance to cannot be seen clearly at a glance due to the limitations of the terrain and the area where it is located.

He was watching the papers.

Yu Xian sat on his knees beside him, answering the questions raised by the head of the family at any time.

It didn't take long for retainers to arrive one after another.

After Zhuo returned, he stopped talking, it may be a more important matter, please ask Lu Wu if he can go outside.

Lu Wu handed over all the things that needed to be kept secret to Zhuo, the old retainer, knowing that it would not be like this if it was not a big deal, so he came outside and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"Lord." Zhuo said simply: "The craftsman died by burning coal, and the iron smelted recently is also abnormal. ”

That's a big deal!

Lu Wu asked carefully.

To put it simply, a craftsman died during the smelting process.

In addition, the smelted metal is substandard in large quantities.

Zhuo couldn't figure out why that was and couldn't solve it.

Lu Wu thought about it for a while, and felt that the craftsman was poisoned when the air was not circulated, or was the poisonous gas coming to his face, maybe it was also a continuous poisoning?

And if there is a non-conforming situation in the metal, is it a process problem, or what?

Lu Wu needs to do a more detailed understanding and investigation to know what happened.
