It's been a long journey, and nothing has happened.

Even the wild people that you can usually see occasionally in the past have not seen one this time.

Actually, it makes sense.

The two legions went to "Jiaogang" to protect the monarch for the alliance, and there were more than 100,000 auxiliary soldiers accompanying them, adding up to nearly 200,000 people.

Even if there are wild people who avoid the cleanup, they dare not stay where they are, otherwise they will be cleaned up again when the army returns.

Before Lü Wu crossed the Fenshui River and entered the "Yin" land, he accepted the attachment of two minor nobles.

The nobles who chose to cling to the old Lu family, all of them had served under Lu Wu, and they all came from the "Huo" land.

And there were no big nobles before "Huo".

The last time I stood in the wrong team, I killed a lot, so that the "Huo" land became a condominium.

The Qin State has also gone east twice, and the nobles who were once good have become weakened in frequent wars.

When the troops returned from the expedition, the fiefdom had already been notified by the scouts who had returned first.

Yu Xian, the first retainer of the old Lu family, led the rest of the retainers, as well as some samurai, and the subjects who came spontaneously when they knew the news, went to the outermost pavilion in the north of the fiefdom to greet them.

The pavilion was built in these years, but it was not specifically for travelers to rest.

The pavilion has only one purpose: to usher in the send-off.

In addition, if there is a pavilion, it is easy for outsiders to know that once they continue to move forward, they will enter the domain of at least a middle-class nobleman.

Minor nobles, such as when Lu Wu was still the "village head" in the past, did not build any pavilions due to lack of financial and labor resources.

The welcoming ceremony was ordinary, not shabby, nor grand.

"Lord!" Yu Xian's waist bent ninety degrees and shouted, "Kangtai Anshun!" ”

The rest of the retainers also bowed ninety degrees.

The samurai practiced the etiquette of holding a soldier.

But all the people fell to their knees and worshipped.

Lu Wu got out of the chariot, walked in front of the retainers who stayed behind, saluted back, and said, "This time, I ......"

is to introduce what you did when you went out this time, focusing on how majestic you are.

The scout who went back first had already been told in general, and it might be more vivid than Lu Wu's description.

Lü Wu's boasting is a kind of "feudal rule".

It is nothing more than telling the retainers, samurai and subjects how awesome they are, and there is definitely a future for following him.

The greeting program is over.

Lü Wu invited Wei Rui and Liang Xing to join him in the car, as a way to commend the merits of these two retainers and give them a chance to show their faces.

The team returning from the expedition continued to move forward.

Along the way, you can see fields and a farm farm about ten miles apart.

It's not the season to farm, and you don't see too many people busy in the fields.

Lu Wu looked greedily at his fiefdom and could find some relatively obvious changes.

For example, when he led his army on an expedition, he did not have a decent road, but when he returned, he was already on a smooth road.

Also, some of the canals were just a prototype before he set out on the expedition, but when he came back, he saw that there was a gurgling water after they were formed.

Of course, he was most pleased that the cultivated land had increased considerably, and that some of the wasteland was full of busy figures.

Those people are cleaning the ground after the fire, finding plant roots, stones, and other debris, and putting them in baskets, and they will go to gather and wait for the next step.

Lu Wu roughly calculated, they walked for about two months, and about 35,000 acres of cultivated land were opened up in the feudal territory?

"Yu Xian has concentrated most of the labor force to cultivate the farmland?" Lu Wu remembered it very clearly, and thought, "How many slaves are there in the old Lu family?" ”

It's not that he has a bad memory, it's mainly that he usually keeps decreasing and increasing, and he hasn't had an accurate number.

After passing through the "Thorn Gate", the samurai cheered and scattered.

The subjects who accompanied the expedition showed relieved expressions, thinking of running home to show off what they had seen and heard to their relatives.

No matter what era it is, it's always not easy to go out.

It is now the Spring and Autumn Period, and it is even more inconvenient to go out, and many people may not be more than 30 miles away from home from birth to death.

Of course, Lu Wu went back to his house.

He just entered, and what he saw was Zhao? Holding Lu Yang in his arms, he led the rest of the Cong Lady.

The son is in.

But the daughter didn't see it.

Of course, there were many male and female domestic servants, but they knelt on the ground early, and when they saw Lu Wu, they immediately bowed down.

When they saw Lu Wu, as if they had cooperated with thousands of times, they knelt down in unison and shouted: "You have worked hard! ”

What Lu Wu saw was a patch of red.

In other words, they are dressed in costumes, and the main color is red.

The colors worn by the minions are also as festive as possible.

Lu Wu walked over, squatted down and hugged his son, and then said, "Get up." ”

"Lord?" Zhao? Following Lu Wu, who was holding his son, into the lobby, he saw Lu Wu teasing his son, with a warm smile on his face, and said to the rest of the sisters, "Remove your armor." ”

Han Yan, Wei Han and Zhao Xin, who had been waiting for a long time, came up to help Lu Wu unload his armor with their hands and feet.

There are maids holding various things, such as basins, wet wipes, hair combs, and a change of clothes...... and so on, kneeling beside it.

"Madame has worked hard, too." Lu Wu saw that the house was tidy and the ladies got along well, so he definitely wanted to praise Zhao Wu. Stripped of to his underwear, he walked to the bathroom and said, "Is there something going on at home?" ”

Zhao? The lady must have to follow, and there was a large group of maids behind her.

When the wife wears armor when she goes out, and the lady takes off her armor when she returns, it is actually a very old custom.

After removing the armor, it is a process of washing dust.

In this process, the man does not have to do anything, just wait to be served cleanly.

After cleaning up, Lu Wu went to see his grandmother as soon as possible.

And the old grandmother took him to the ancestral hall, bowed to the ancestral tablet, and whispered for a while.

Lu Wu knelt and listened to his grandmother's report to his ancestors.

It is about Lu Wu going to Nafu again and coming back safely.

While looking forward to the future, I implore our ancestors to continue to bless us.

In fact, this report to the ancestors seems a bit petty.

Maybe it's the relationship between my grandmother and I don't know too much?

Otherwise, with Lu Wu's achievements, he needs to be prepared to "sacrifice" and sacrifice his ancestors carefully.

He tried very hard to be a Spring and Autumn man, but he still didn't understand a lot of customs and etiquette, so naturally his grandmother was like that.

After listening to the old grandmother's report to the ancestors in the family ancestral hall for about two quarters of an hour, Lu Wu, who was kneeling with numb legs, left the family ancestral hall to bid farewell to the old grandmother and came to the lobby alone.

And there are retainers waiting here for a long time.

There were no desks and sits in the lobby before, but the retainers now have their own positions, they were originally chatting happily, and when they saw Lu Wu stop their respective actions, they saluted Lu Wu in unison.

"Sit down." Lu Wu naturally came to the main seat and sat down, and after waiting for the retainers to sit down, he straightened his waist, stretched his arms forward, the palms of his hands turned inward, and the fingers except for the thumb up, the rest of the fingers were concave at ninety degrees and overlapped left and right, and said, "Everyone's hard work! ”

The retainers waited for Lu Wu to finish his salute with a serious face, and in the same posture, only with one more gesture of bending forward and bowing, he replied in unison: "Where is the duty!" ”

Lu Wu looked to the left and right sides of the lobby.

There was a procession of servants with plates waiting.

At his signal, the servants entered with plates.

Of course, they brought everything that the banquet should have, carefully placed it on each table, leaving what should go, and leaving what should stay.

Lu Wu glanced at the maids and was slightly stunned.

If he remembered correctly, he had taken in a lot of Caucasian maids before.

Why can't you see any of them???

Of course, now is not the time to focus on maids.

He took the lead in raising the wine cup and said loudly, "Everyone, drink together!" ”

The retainers responded to the harmony, and happily picked up the wine cup and drank it all.

After drinking, there was a loud laugh of "haha" in the lobby.

"Lord!" Yu Xian stood up, straightened his waist, and said: "The ministers have cultivated more than 40,000 acres today. ”

Without an accurate data, it was almost the norm in ancient times.

It didn't happen, but it was only so much, but it was exaggerated for the sake of sound, which should be celebrated.

For example, the waterfall is obviously tens of meters high, and there is a gorgeous rhetoric of "flying down 3,000 feet".

Of course, it's not that the artistic processing is not good, it looks beautiful, it reads beautiful, and the imagination is full of artistic conception, the key is really not like that!

Lu Wu invited Yu Xian to drink a wine cup separately to show his gratitude.

Song Bin stood up and said with a look of annoyance: "The minister should go out with the lord!" ”

Several of the retainers burst out laughing again.

Liang Xing said seriously: "When the time comes." ”

Song Bin was really annoyed because he didn't see Lu Wu shine, so he couldn't help but mention it.

Otherwise, the ministers basically perform their own duties, and what work is arranged, and they can't do their jobs well, they must be incompetent.

One after another retainers came out to report to Lu Wu on the progress of their work.

Lu Wu was not the slightest impatient, listened carefully, and asked out loud if he didn't understand.

Generally speaking, after Lu Wu set out on the expedition, nothing major happened to the old Lu family, and the work arranged before was relatively smooth, so naturally there were also unsmooth.

At present, the Lao Lu family attaches the most importance to the amount of cultivated land, so that most of the labor force is busy reclaiming wasteland, and the rest of the projects will be more or less lacking in labor.

Lu Wu didn't make any comments, waited for the retainers to finish reporting, and said, "'Huo' has three families attached to me. ”

Except for Wei Rui and Liang Xing, the rest of the retainers have not yet received news about this matter.

They didn't react too violently.

Song Bin raised his head proudly and said, "This is a matter of course. ”

The rest of the retainers nodded frequently.

The old Lu family is the in-laws of the Han family, the Wei family and the Zhao family, and they have already shown that they are on the rise.

This time, Lu Wu performed so well in the alliance that his normal brain could see that Lu Wu had broken through the ceiling of promotion again.

If you have a flexible mind, who wouldn't want to hitchhike if you have the chance?

Therefore, Lu Wu was not a nobleman along the way and agreed if he wanted to be attached, but he did not explicitly refuse, but he just needed to use his words flexibly.

Liang Xingle said hehehe: "The minister thinks that the visitors will be numerous. ”

The retainers laughed.

There is a saying: people are poor and no one asks about the city, and the rich have distant relatives in the mountains.

In this year, having money is nothing, and it is worth stammering if you can master the "channel".

Reality returns to reality, and who doesn't feel very cool to be the person who will be stammered?
