Chapter 163: It's Time to Test Your Intelligence!
Sorry, but the update time was not set.
…………
Didn't the old Lu family have no coal before?
Lu Wumao worked hard to move coal from Lao Liang's house for a year, and the coal consumed before was basically from Lao Liang's family.
The current situation is that the coal from Lao Liang's family is consumed, and the coal from his own "shady" land is used, and there is a problem that has not happened before?
So, is the old Lu family's own coal unusable?
Lü Wu's understanding of coal is very one-sided, knowing that the gas produced by coal can poison people, and has always set up smelting sites in open and ventilated places.
As for the difference between coal and coal, he only knows a general idea, for example, there is a very special kind of coal called anthracite, and the rest is bituminous coal.
More specific things, such as what the elements are, are difficult for him to distinguish after burning.
In this way, he must first understand how the craftsman died.
Zhuo only knew that a craftsman had been poisoned and died, and how he died, including what the symptoms were when he died, he didn't know anything.
This kind of thing happened just after he came back, and Lu Wu was a little upset.
However, it was clear that there was a problem before he came back.
Zhuo only waited for him to come back before making a report.
Now the old Lu family has six smelting workshops, one is in the plain area, and the rest are built in the mountains.
The accident occurred at the smelting workshop in the mountains.
Lu Wu's desire to mess around with a few daughters-in-law for a few days was shattered, and his mood was not good or bad, so he took people into the mountain.
Along the way, he took a general look at his fiefdom.
The materials stored for the construction of the city were piled up one after another, making some areas look a bit messy.
Because of his relationship when he was away most of the time, the city would definitely not be built, and the materials would continue to pile up, not only to look at the chaos, but also to actually affect the rest of the development of the old Lu family.
He had great desire to build a city, and could only pray that the next few years would stop so that he would have enough time to stay in the fiefdom.
It doesn't matter what other people take to build the city.
The first step in the city of Lao Lu's family will be to dig the sewer system first, and the sewage will be discharged directly to Fenshui.
The construction of the sewer is a very large project, and the planning aspect must also be realistic.
Lu Wu knows a little about this aspect, and has made a plan that he thinks is reasonable, and everything is just waiting to be implemented.
When he was in Nitta, he always paid attention to the political affairs of the center.
Who cares what the king wants to do?
What matters is what the "secretaries" have in mind.
But those "Qing" are calculating and calculating, and it is really not good for people to see anything.
What kind of calculations do they have, they need to wait for a new round of replacement and replacement before they can show some clues.
The Jin state had already resolved the threat from the northwest, west, and north, and the Qin state would not dare to do it again for at least the next ten years.
Without the flickering of the Qin State, the Di and Rong people would probably be more sober in their minds and would not provoke the Jin State at every turn.
This was a great good thing for the nobles of the Jin Kingdom in the north, west, and northwest regions.
Even if the marshal recruits again every year, they finally don't have to worry about the Qin army or the Di people and Rong people coming to attack from time to time, and they can build and govern the fiefdom.
The Jin State and the Chu State had already held an alliance to defeat the army.
It stands to reason that after the alliance between the two countries, it is time for the two countries to cease fighting.
When the Jin State went all out to deal with the Qin State, the Chu State sent troops to punish the Zheng State, and there was no reason to crusade against the Wei State.
Wei Guo, who was at war with the Chu State, their monarch sent an envoy to find Gongzi Xi, who was leading the army, and asked Wei Guo what crime he had committed.
The scene is: the patriotic envoy shouted "I am not guilty"; Childe replied happily, "I just want to beat you."
Luan Shu did not recruit troops to go south, nor did he support the defense of the country, and there was no actual war between the Jin and Chu states, and the fig leaf of the alliance had not been lifted.
Zheng Guo once again surrendered to Chu State, and it is difficult to say what he will do next.
The Chu army, which attacked Weiguo, saw that the Jin State had not sent troops, and the pestle had not withdrawn from the Weidi.
Lü Wu has been paying attention to whether the Jin State will send troops to support the defense of the country, and regards this matter as a weather vane.
Once the Jin State once again called on the army to send troops, it meant that the Jin State did not want to take a few breaths at all, and then there would inevitably be a series of major wars with the Chu State.
If they continue to fight with the Chu State, it will be difficult for them, the nobles of the Jin State, to carry out any major construction.
The old Lu family wants to build a city, and it will inevitably be delayed again and again.
"Maybe we should arrange for labor to dig the sewers first?" Lu Wu walked halfway up the mountain and stopped, turned to look at the plain, and thought, "Anyway, the sewer has to be bricked, and it is not a mud wall, so there is no damage trouble such as open air and soaking in water." ”
Regarding bricks, Lao Lu's family has bricks out of the kiln every day.
In addition, Lu Wu provided creativity, and the craftsman was responsible for research and practice, and made various styles of pottery pipes.
With these resources as the premise, the construction of urban sewers has a foundation.
Otherwise, it is difficult to dig out the sewer and repair it, how many years can it be used?
In fact, Lu Wu wants to engage in cement more.
Many of his peers did things easily, but they were stumped when they came to him.
It's so sad!
Lu Wu's design for the sewer is not to dig a small canal and finish the job, let alone bury a few clay pipes.
In his plan, the sewers were crisscrossed with up to 10 meters deep, and the main drains were about the size of modern tunnels, and the rest were the size of human access for cleaning.
The city will be three miles long and three miles wide.
The length of one mile is 400 meters in modern times.
It is equivalent to saying that the length of the four walls of the "yin" city, which has no shadow, will not be less than 1,200 meters.
The key is that Lu Wu also wants to arrange the "town" outside.
It is not to build the "yin" city into a commercial city, but purely due to the restrictions of the weekly system, and to engage in some side-kicking behaviors.
Because of the grand layout and the premise of investing at least 10,000 laborers, the construction period of launching alone will not be less than two years.
Lu Wu felt that if it was delayed any longer, when would the construction of the city be completed, the preliminary work should really be arranged.
No one bothered the head of the house who stopped.
They have their own duties, and those who should be scattered around to be on guard are staring sharply around them; The people standing around Lu Wu were waiting to be questioned at any time.
Lu Wu didn't say anything and started climbing the mountain again.
As the "first generation" is definitely the most prestigious, and in the "second generation" there will be too many clamps.
The old Lu family has grown from nothing to the current scale, and then Lu Wu's courtesy to his retainers; The samurai class must be respected and loved because of the few casualties and many gains in the battle; The fact that the subject class was not badly exploited is actually the greatest luck.
Slave? It doesn't matter what they think, just be honest.
"Can the slaves you brought back be settled?" Lu Wu already knew that the current Qin people and the future Qin people were two kinds of people, but he still felt jealous, and said: "You need to keep an eye on it at all times, don't make chaos." ”
This time, there were more than 13,000 Qin people among the slaves that Lü Wu brought home.
When the Qin people were mentioned in later generations, a few key words inevitably appeared.
Such as: tenacity, blood, brutality.
The current Qin people already have a reputation for brutality, not that they will cut off their heads and tie them around their waists after killing people, not to mention that the Jin State has dominated public opinion, it is purely that the Qin State has destroyed many countries, and the sacrifices of the monarchs and ancestors of those countries have been eliminated, and the number of civilians killed is greater than the total number of countries in the Central Plains combined.
The vassal states of Zhuxia rarely deliberately killed civilians during war.
The nations are fighting wars of "conquest", capturing civilians to generate benefits for themselves, without superfluous bloodshed.
To some extent, tenacity refers to the ability to survive in difficult circumstances.
The Qin people lived a much harder life than the people of the Central Plains vassal states, in addition to lagging behind the Central Plains in terms of civilization, but also because of the Qin people's own way of life.
As for the bloodiness, at least for the time being, we can't see how bloody the Qin people are in foreign wars.
When it comes to blood, the nations recognize the Jin people.
Even if it is the blood nature of the Chu people, I don't know how many places are ranked in front of the Qin people.
There is no denigration in the above.
The bloody nature of the Qin people is in terms of internal fighting, especially the vendetta between the nobles is extremely bloody.
From this point of view, the ferocity of the nobles of the Qin State is the same as that of the Jin State?
If you want the Qin people to enter the stage of "tall", you need a person from the country to appear.
This person first went to Wei to apprentice, but he couldn't display his talents in Wei, so he went to Qin without a choice, and brought a "new life" to Qin.
What he did was not complicated, killing and destroying the original interests of the Qin State, freeing the slaves, and dividing the land.
Lu Wu, who personally witnessed the Qin people at this stage, was actually quite surprised.
"This is it?" Lu Wu had already come to the workshop where the work had been suspended, walked around and found nothing unusual, found the craftsman who was present at the time, and said, "You can tell me what you have seen." ”
After the craftsman came, he knelt down, and he didn't dare to look at Lu Wu at all.
They told what they saw.
The lack of vocabulary forced Lü Wu to guess and understand the situation in general.
The artisans who died of poisoning died because they inhaled too much of a bucket of water poured on the burning coals and faced the billowing smoke.
Lu Wu figured out the cause of death, and he couldn't produce angry emotions, and some were just helpless.
He still hasn't figured out the problem that most of China's coal has a high sulphur content.
It can only be said that the coal of the old Liang family was used, and there was no problem.
So he didn't even think of the need for coal washing (desulfurization).
Next, they went to the warehouse and inspected the pig iron of questionable quality.
Lü Wu first tested the finished weapon.
It is nothing more than a thrashing test of external forces.
After a while, I found that these weapons were very sharp, and they were brittle beyond imagination.
"Lord?" Zhuo Man's mind was full of doubts, first explained that it was made according to the process, very strict without the slightest negligence, and said with an uncomfortable face: "There is nothing wrong with us." ”
Lu Wu thought of the footbasin chicken.
I think of the footpot chicken, mainly because the weapons of the footpot chicken are also notoriously sharp and brittle, resulting in the samurai being a mobile arsenal, and it is embarrassing not to carry a few knives on him.
The old Lu family is now facing the same problem as the foot basin chicken?
Lu Wurang brought in the weapons and pig iron that Lao Liang's coal was used to process and smelt, and after a while, no problems were found.
He wanted to compare Lao Liang's coal with his own coal, but there was no coal from Lao Liang's family.
"What the hell is going on?" Lu Wu pondered, even if he compared, he couldn't see any difference, and thought, "Do I need to snatch Liang Yi's family business?" ”
It's just that the old Liang family's coal mountain will always run out one day.
I don't understand what the problem is, the smelting industry of the old Lu family is still not developing?
In fact, the fact that coal was not used on a large scale in ancient China is the problem that Lü Wu is facing now, not that the ancients did not know that coal can be burned.
