Chapter 168: The Situation Is Wrong!
Wei is not a "Qing"!
From the original border line of the Jin Kingdom all the way to Jingshui, do you know what a large piece of land it is?
That's tens of thousands of square kilometers of land, which is larger than the overall area of many vassal states in the Central Plains, and even two-tenths the size of the Jin Kingdom!
Not to mention the Wei family, no Qing family can eat it alone.
The monarch gave such a piece of land to the Wei family, did he want to support the Wei family?
Or did the monarch see that the Wei family was not pleasing to the eye and wanted to set the Wei family as a target to lure the rest of the family to attack him?
Lu Wu came back to his senses and thought, "Shouldn't the reward be formulated by the marshal and presented to the monarch with the final plan?" Is Luan Shu doing something, or is the monarch making trouble again? ”
Wei Rui spoke again and said, "Wei refuses to accept it. ”
That's right!
Tens of thousands of square kilometers of land, not to mention that most of the area is barren, no matter how well it develops, no one can eat it.
That piece of land, as long as you have a little vision, who can't see that it will be a grain-producing area after development.
The Qin State did not carry out development, because their national strength did not allow it.
Then there is that the Qin State is afraid of the strength of the Jin State, and many nobles are a little afraid when they think of being neighbors with the Jin State.
Lu Wu just didn't understand a little.
If the rest of the monarch's family doesn't do it, why do they want to do it.
Could it be that Wei's fiefdom was near there, and it was able to form a connecting relationship?
Or, someone from the Wei clan has recently provoked the monarch?
Lu Wu didn't have time to entertain Liang Xi.
Liang Xi couldn't wait for Lu Wu to take care of himself.
Subsequently, some new messages were sent.
The state of Qin did give in, and it gave in relatively completely.
In these years, the cession of land belongs to the "minority", which is generally a confession, and then a sufficient amount of money and population is offered.
It was Luan Shu's insistence to insist that Qin State cede the country.
Lu Wu didn't know whether the Qin State had ceded the territory in the original history, he only knew that this time the Qin State was beaten and seriously injured, and it was difficult to catch his breath for a few decades.
Luan Shu had a very tough attitude towards Qin, threatening that if Qin did not cede land, Jin would attack Qin again.
The words of the monarch of the Jin State may not be effective, but the words of the marshal are a spit and a nail, and all the vassal states know the correct governance ecology of the Jin State.
And the reason why Luan Shu forcefully asked Qin to cede the territory was to feed meat to several Qing families and relieve the tension of these "Qing Qing" in the country.
Big families fight back and forth, except for the need for power is profit.
No matter how fierce the Jin State is, unless one or several families unite to bring down one or several "secretaries", so that there are more vacancies in the secretary position, or the secretary will be rotated according to the order.
To put it simply, it is a subordination rule.
With the current international environment, several "secretaries" of the Jin State will fight to the death only if their brains are broken.
Luan Shu knew that he couldn't fight, because he was a multi-tasker, and his position gave him the responsibilities that he had to fulfill, and he couldn't watch the situation continue to be chaotic.
He wanted to feed meat to a few "Qing", and also give soup to the small and medium-sized nobles, but he didn't expect the monarch to make trouble again!
Harvest season has arrived.
Each family was busy harvesting crops, and the Jin Kingdom entered a period of cessation of strife.
Wait for the harvest to be completed and new crops to be planted.
The situation in the Jin Kingdom was stable for nearly a month and a half.
One day, a team from Xintian arrived in the "yin" land.
They came over and asked to see Lu Wu by name.
The leader who came turned out to be Qi Xi?
As soon as he saw Lu Wu, he laughed first, but when he laughed enough, he complained: "Why don't you go to see me for a long time." ”
It seems like that's the case.
Lu Wu promised that Qi Xi would visit, but he did not take any practical action.
He could only apologize again and again and ask Qi Xi for forgiveness.
Qi Xi is probably just joking? He pointed in the direction of the mountain range and said in surprise, "Why is there a black dragon spitting smoke?" ”
Isn't that because you're smelting metals?
Burning coal will definitely smoke, and the more it burns, the thicker the smoke column will be, and the manor can be seen halfway up the mountainside.
Lu Wu definitely couldn't tell the truth, and he couldn't lie, so he changed the topic and asked, "...... Duke Qi is here?"
In fact, there are not many smoke columns in the mountains, but they look abnormal in this era, so they will be so conspicuous.
Lu Wu called Qi Xi "Qi Gong", which seemed very particular.
It's not the Eastern Han Dynasty yet, and it's not like anyone who can be called "Gong" or anything like that.
Now only the heirs of the public office can be called "Gongzi", and the grandson of a certain monarch is called "Gongsun".
Therefore, if anyone crosses over and catches one, he will shout "Childe", not only will he harm that person, but he will also not want to live.
Lü Wu called "Duke Qi" to compliment Qi Xi's high prestige in the Gong clan.
There are not many people in the Jin clan who can handle it, Qi Xi is a relatively high position in the army, and the strength of his family is not weak.
What's more, Qi Xi is very smart and has always been very clear-headed.
After a feast, it was time to speak.
Qi Xi told Lü Wu about the Qin State.
Some of them were known to Lu Wu before, and more belonged to the parts that had not been inquired about.
Among them was the Qin state's desire to ransom the captured Qin people.
It seems that the new monarch of the Qin State knows the key, and the land can be recaptured if it is encroached upon, and the impact of the sudden population decline on the Qin State for a time is even more fatal.
The Qin State was in the semi-agrarian and semi-nomadic stage, and the Qin court was able to mobilize far fewer people than expected.
Otherwise, how could a country with a population of 1.8 million be able to mobilize 60,000 soldiers with all its strength?
It only shows that the number of nobles that Qin Jun can actually restrain is not the majority, and more nobles either cannot be mobilized, or need to spend more time to transfer.
Lü Wu was very concerned about whether the Jin State was willing to return the Qin prisoners of war.
The old Lu family obtained 13,000 Qin prisoners this time, which is not the most, but it is not the least.
This group of laborers is very important to the current old Lu family, and once it is taken back, the construction progress will inevitably suffer a fatal impact.
Qi Xi said: "The Qin State cuts the soil, the king summons the meritorious ministers, and the Yin Zi has great merit, so he must not be present." ”
Speaking of which, Lu Wu's greatest contribution in that battle was not anything else, but the breaking of the gate of "Yong".
This was an extremely humiliating thing for the Qin State, but it was a move to greatly boost the prestige of the Jin State.
In the future, Qi Xi didn't want to delay too much, so he left without stopping.
The monarch certainly has the power to summon vassals.
It's just that in the Jin Kingdom, it is generally convened by the marshal.
Lu Wu didn't leave immediately, he needed to wait.
waited for Luan Shu's call.
"Now there are not many 'Qing' in the Jin Kingdom who are willing to save face for the monarch, and Luan Shuhui is one." Lu Wu saw this very thoroughly, and thought: "After all, Luan Shu is a marshal and a ruling party, and the basis of power is in the country, and he needs to save face for the country." ”
However, he felt that Luan Shu couldn't endure it for long.
As a marshal, ruling and general of the Chinese army, Luan Shu takes care of the monarch's face because of his duties, and as the monarch continues to mess around repeatedly, there will always be a day when his patience will be worn out.
Lü Wu arranged what the family should do, mobilized 500 warriors and 1,000 subjects, and embarked on the road to Xintian.
Along the way, they happened to meet a lot of teams that were going to Xintian.
As usual, the teams do not deliberately approach and even take precautions.
This time the war against the Qin State was a great victory, and the meritorious officers received too few rewards.
Lu Wu knew in advance that there would definitely be another wave.
It is a big taboo to be rewarded for meritorious service!
There is not much land in the hands of the monarch that can be rewarded, and the added benefit of promotion is to increase the fief, like Lu Wu got the promotion, but without the reward of the land, the reward is not complete.
Most of the land of the Jin State was in the hands of a few "Qing", and their land has always increased unabated.
It is equivalent to saying that unless the "secretary" of the Jin State loses the position of secretary, he can step down by himself, or he can be attacked and killed, or the land status quo of the Jin State is difficult to change.
This is also the reason for the formation of the current Zhengzhi ecology of the Jin Kingdom.
The strength of those "qing" is getting stronger and stronger, and the monarch will of course be suppressed.
Now it is not the monarch who maintains the stability of the Jin Kingdom, but several "secretaries" who are jealous of each other.
It took Lu Wu half a month to come to Xintian.
They had just entered the city when it was drizzling in the sky.
The old Lu family did not have an industry in Xintian, and every time they came, they had to borrow a place from the Han family or the Wei family.
One of the more puzzling points is that the land on this side of Xintian cannot be bought and sold, and the approval of the monarch is required to have the right to use it.
In fact, none of the land can be bought or sold privately.
Lu Wu's promotion speed was too fast.
During the Jin Jinggong period, Lü Wu was not yet qualified to obtain land in Xintian.
Waiting for Ji Shouman, the new monarch, to succeed him, the monarch who likes to fool around seems to have forgotten the stubble.
The Han family and the Wei family are still quite generous, they lent Lu Wu's mansion, and the day they lent it out, they never took it back, and they usually sent people to maintain it.
Less than half a day after Lu Wugang moved in, Han Wuji, Han Qi, Wei Jiang (Wei Mourning Zizi), Wei Jie (Linghu Zizi), and Wei Xiang (Lu Qizi) all came.
As soon as these people arrived, they didn't have time to say hello, and the convoy of Zhishuo and Bank of China Yan also arrived at the door.
This caused Lu Wugang to welcome the children of the Han family and the Wei family, and he had to turn around and come out to greet the children of the Xun family.
The Xun clan is a big clan, and the Zhongxing clan and the Zhi clan are different, they are actually the children of the Xun clan.
When Lu Wu took them all in, he arranged how to entertain them, and another guest arrived.
Liang Xingyu said that Hao Bowan also came.
As a result, after a kick, Fan's taxi came over.
There is only one child of the Luan family, and a few disciples of the "Qing" family are all together.
What's going on?
Lu Wu is not wrong to have a great reputation now, but he thinks that he is not important enough to gather so many children of a big family.
Han and Wei are in-laws, and they have always played together, and it is a sign of closeness to them.
Zhi Gang felt that he took good care of Lu Wu, and knew that Lu Wu came to Xintian and wanted to let the Xun family get close to him, which was also a normal move.
On the side of the Hao clan, Lü Wu had the [3Q Chinese] experience of serving in the "New Army", which was somewhat reasonable.
Lu Wu had only one contact with Fan, but it was to ensure that he was not involved in the pottery industry, so he didn't have any friendship.
In the back, there were many people who had not even heard of Lu Wu, let alone acquaintances, and came to visit one after another.
The development of the situation made Lu Wu vigilant, pulled Wei Xiang aside, and asked directly: "Xiang, what happened?" ”
Wei Xiang played with his appetite, smiling and not speaking.
Seeing that Lu Wu wanted to swing a small fist.
