If Lu Wu traveled to the Han and Tang Dynasty, he would definitely be able to rely on his own "invention" and "creation" to live very comfortably.

As for Song Heming? Because of the social atmosphere, simply engaging in invention and creation will be worse than the Spring and Autumn Period.

Mixed up in the Song or Ming Dynasty? If you read the imperial examination, ......, hehe, can you compare with a bunch of and the insects in the book?

Traveling to the Song and Ming Dynasty, Lu Wuzhen didn't believe that it was better than reading, and the traveler could compete with the people of that era.

Traveling through the past with mature thinking, modern people's thinking is not the same thing as contemporary times, and they can't be pure if they want to be pure.

It is equivalent to losing at the starting line!

He traveled to the Spring and Autumn Period, and was still the Jin Kingdom of Military Fruitism.

In the country of Jin, no military merits are equivalent to what you have now, and if you don't have military merits for a long time, you should decline.

The reason is fairly simple.

No samurai wanted to follow a lord who had nothing to do with military accomplishments.

Unable to obtain military merits, the fiefdom could not be increased, and the dependence of the samurai was lost, resulting in the inability to pay the "endowment", and the outcome was destined to be a tragedy.

Thanks to the atmosphere up and down the Jin Kingdom, they are really not cowardly in fighting, and most of the time they are provoked is just right, and they are really getting stronger and stronger.

Thinking about Lu Wu, who wanted to save his life, he stayed in the workshop for the rest of the year, building his armor on one side, and not being idle on the other side.

The old Lu family hunted a lot of leather some time ago, and in addition to the harvest of the population, the capture of savages actually obtained some loot.

The wildlings also hunted and stored leather, and they could not enter Dayi to trade, so they could only trade with groups of fellow wildlings, but the trading volume was destined to be small, and more leather could only be shelved.

Lao Lu's family hunted for a month and a half, and caught nearly 600 men and women of wild men, and the rest were not much, but there were more than 2,000 pieces of various leathers.

Lu Wu knew very well what this expedition meant, and while arming himself, he did not forget those warriors who were going to follow the expedition, and it was always reliable to prepare some leather armor.

The vast majority of the armor of the samurai in this era was actually rattan or wooden armor.

Rattan armor is naturally made of rattan, which is generally woven into a flat panel, placed in front of the body and behind and then tied with hemp rope; There will also be some shoulder pads, arm pads, etc., as a match.

The rattan they used to make was not soaked in tung oil, but only the toughness of the rattan, and its defensive power was not comparable to that of the rattan armor soaked in tung oil and then braided.

Of course, wooden armor is the main material of various wood used as armor, but compared to rattan armor, it has no defensive relationship, and it can only play a self-soothing effect.

In addition, the creation of this thing is actually a last resort.

Once the Jin State sent nobles to lead troops to the war, there were certain requirements.

For example, how many armor soldiers are needed.

Of course, when he wore wooden armor to report for duty, he met a more real commander, and he was inevitably reprimanded, and refused to admit that a certain nobleman brought a soldier, and still recorded it according to the unfinished standard.

Lu Wu studied for two days, and decided to tie the armor according to the existing process.

In fact, the armor is a kind of armor style in which the square nail pieces are directly used with leather strips, ropes are worn through each other, and the nail pieces are stacked on top of each other horizontally and vertically.

After mastering the casting method and forging hair, the process of making the armor is not difficult, but the production time is slightly longer.

Worried that it might not be enough to finish, he also decided to build a plate armor.

Of course, this plate armor is not the one that is put on the whole body, or it needs to use casting technology to cast an iron plate that meets the needs of the body, and then process it with leather, leaving some drilled holes for the leather strip to be fixed and tied to each other with other accessories.

Of course, Lu Wudu has already experimented with the first generation of steel, and the steel plate will definitely be used.

In line with the idea that one set of plate armor is a lane, and dozens of sets are also a lane, Lu Wu simply changed some of the leather armor styles that had been completed, preparing to take advantage of the fact that there was still time to build as many plate armor as he could.

In the process of building plate armor, he thought about whether he could use the stream water and make a set of water conservancy forging equipment that could be made at this stage.

After checking it out, the flow rate of the old Lu family's stream was obviously not suitable.

At the same time, the axes that had been built in large numbers were taken out, and they were only one step short of the opening process, which was originally intended to be used to cut down trees.

All of them were taken out and distributed to the craftsmen for the attack, but they were not distributed to the samurai.

In addition, he ordered craftsmen to make a batch of small axes, which were used to bend the handles, intended to be used as throwing weapons.

This is Lu Wu's intention to do his best to perform in this service, and he will bring out new weapons when necessary.

Time passes by minute by minute in the busyness.

The season is the harvest season.

Lu Wu couldn't help but pay attention to crop harvesting, set the workload of craftsmen in the workshop, and turned his energy to farming.

The Jin Kingdom was a mountainous region with only a small number of open plains, and the vast majority of the fertile plains were in the hands of the great nobles.

Lao Lu's family has a feudal territory that is ten miles long on all sides, but the farmland is only 1,300 acres.

The farmland of the Jin Kingdom was divided into public and private fields.

The nobles' acres of land are all private land, that is, whatever they harvest is their own.

The public land is owned by the state and is under the jurisdiction of the Situ (equivalent to the Minister of Agriculture, but with the right to levy forced labor), and the harvest is, of course, owned by the state.

Nowadays, the main crops are all kinds of beans, and some millet or wheat and rice are planted.

In addition, mulberry trees are also counted as part of crops.

After the autumn harvest of the old Lu family, the old Zhuo reported to Lu Wu that a total of 8,977 stones of various grains were harvested that year.

During the Spring and Autumn Period, one stone was fifty kilograms in modern times, that is, this year, the feudal collar of the old Lu family harvested more than 450,000 catties of various grains.

Sounds like a lot?

But nowadays, an adult man will eat two or three catties of various plant foods in one meal, and women, the elderly, and children can also have a catty or count taels.

Their big stomach king was actually forced out.

After all, the less oil and water you consume, the more food you need.

The old Lu family now counts the samurai and their families, subjects, and slaves, and the population has reached more than 2,300.

Therefore, without obtaining food in the form of trade, the old Lu family will not be able to produce and be self-sufficient.

Lu Wu had been buying chickens, ducks, and geese on a large scale before, but the lack of channels had not been able to increase the quantity.

He is also encouraging more pig breeding.

Even if there is no effect in a short period of time, as long as you persevere, sooner or later you can see flocks of chickens, ducks, and geese in the old Lu family's feudal collar, raising three or five pigs in one household.

In this way, not only will the quality of the old Lu family's food be greatly increased, but the consumption of plant food will also be reduced.

The sixth day after the autumn harvest.

There is a team coming over from Huocheng.

They sent a conscription order, indicating how many chariots and how many soldiers Lü Wu should go to battle.

After informing the old Lu family, Huo Cheng's team kept rushing to the next one.

And when he received the order, the set of armor that Lu Wu wanted to bring to the expedition was only half done.

Because of the much less production process, more than 20 sets of plate armor have been made, but don't ask how beautiful it is.

Before setting out for the expedition, Lü Wu went to meet his grandmother according to Chinese customs.

And because the old Lu family only had an elder like the old grandmother who was alive, she personally arranged to see him off.

It's just that on the day of Lu Wu's departure, the old grandmother did not show up, and it was the old Zhuo who presided over the send-off ceremony.

Those who were able to attend the ceremony were all present.

The etiquette is not too complicated, it is nothing more than to pay tribute to the ancestors and the gods of all parties, ask them to watch the people of the old Lu family who are going to go on the expedition, protect them from being injured (killed) by stray arrows on the battlefield, be able to harvest on the battlefield, return with glory, and so on.

At the same time, the old Lu family built the "Thorn Gate", and the expedition team came out of the "Thorn Gate", which means that it has entered the state of going out.

The so-called "Thorn Gate" was originally the emperor who went out and inserted a halberd as a door at the accommodation, called the "Thorn Gate". (Thorns, through the "halberd.") ）

Then there was a gradual evolution, and then several times it evolved into different customs, returning to being part of the royal guard of honor.

The "thorn gate" of the old Lu family is actually an arch built with thorns and various materials.

Out of the "thorn gate" indicates entering the state of service.

Waiting for the return to the division and returning to the army before going to the "thorny gate" represents the lifting of the combat posture.

Therefore, the "Thorn Gate" can actually be used as a kind of triumphal arch.

Lü Wu himself rode in a chariot, accompanied by Mide and Rongyou, and became a chariot group, followed by twenty-five samurai on foot; The one that followed was Song Bin as the "master", plus the royal hand and Rong You, and there were twenty-five samurai firmly following, followed by the vehicles loaded with supplies and the subjects.

And this time, he also requisitioned 120 subjects as people.

In these years, the nobles went out on the expedition, and if they were considered to be "endowments", they had to carry their own food.

The subjects did not go to the battlefield to fight, but mainly to serve the lords and samurai, and also to take care of the materials they carried.

In the autumn leaves on the mountains and the season of withered yellow weeds everywhere, Lü Wu will fulfill his obligations to the monarch (state) as a nobleman for the first time.
