Chapter 62: Don't be impulsive, Gou Yibo!
At present, cultivation is mainly for sowing sowing soybean, rice, millet, millet and wheat.
In the north, the main planting will be to choose soybean, millet and millet.
Soybeans are a general term for all kinds of beans.
Millet is also known as rice and is very suitable for cultivation in dry fields.
Millet is millet, which is processed into millet.
The beans are soybeans, black beans, red beans, and edamame...... Wait a minute.
Several of Lü Wu's wives contained a lot of seeds in their dowries, and he purchased a batch in Xintian.
The seeds of the old Lu family are not a problem, it depends on what kind of field to plant what seeds.
And these Lu Wu didn't interfere, mainly handed them over to the retainers who were good at farming.
He was personally responsible for the planning of the irrigation system.
On the edge of this area is Fenshui, and there are many streams that drain from Fenshui, many of which run through the plains of the "Yin" land.
What the old Lu family needs to do is plan how to dig the canal.
Lu Wu personally inspected it, discussed it with his retainers, and then divided the labor again.
Spring is an exceptionally busy season.
Only those who have less property can get idle.
There are constant birthers, everyone has to be like a spinning top, busy going round and round.
In the process of commanding, Lu Wu discovered that the slaves from the Zhao clan were really not good at farm work, and the slaves from the Han clan were the ones who were the most capable of farm work.
As for the slaves of the Zhao family, they are completely superior to the slaves of the Han family in carrying out engineering construction.
The slaves of the Wei family are capable of everything, but they are not so capable of anything.
Of course, no matter who these slaves belonged to before, they are now from the old Lu family.
Doing farm work is a boring and repetitive process, and the whole process is exposed to the wind and sun, and it is also mosquito bites, which is very painful.
Waiting for the spring plowing to be completed, all that remains is to get the irrigation system in advance, and Lu Wu's energy can be regarded as being able to spare time to pay attention to the family's military aspects.
Before the expedition, there were only more than 50 warriors under Lü Wu's command, which was 120 if you included the temporary armament of the lords who were promoted for training.
He went to Nitta to get married, and the number of samurai under his command increased by 1,600.
It means that his title has been promoted, his fiefdom has been expanded, and the force under his command has also increased.
A total of 1,720 samurai required a labor force of nearly 35,000 to be considered reasonable.
The number of slaves on Lü Wu's roster was about 8,000, and the number of subjects was about 15,000.
Among the subjects, about 7,000 can be counted as laborers?
In other words, Lu Wu actually only has about 15,000 laborers.
Fortunately, the samurai also had their own families, and they also had their own slaves, so they were not paid in normal times, and they also armed and consumed themselves when they went out to fight.
As long as Lu Wu can afford the reward after the samurai's meritorious service, if the service is not overdue, the support can still be supported, but if something unexpected happens, there is a high probability that it will collapse all of a sudden.
The Han and Wei clans, if they are not counted as subjects, have nearly 100,000 slaves, and more than 70,000 slaves; In terms of samurai, the Han clan had more than two divisions (13,000 men), while the Wei clan had more than one division (6,500 men).
Han is the secretary, but not the strongest secretary. They are just getting a foothold and are in a period of steady development.
Wei is a doctor, and he has the strength to compete for the throne, but he is still a little bit behind.
A family of middle nobility, which is not thousands of samurai, at least tens of thousands of subjects, and more than 10,000 slaves?
Therefore, even if the old Lu family was "milked" by the Han family, the Wei family and the two Zhao families, their strength and financial resources were actually quite weak.
Samurai from different families are all good at different aspects.
For example, the samurai from the Han clan don't look very burly or lean, most of them specialize in archery, so much so that their arms look a little long; The warriors of the Wei clan looked strong one by one, and their figures were also tall, and they took the hand-to-hand combat route; The warrior of the Zhao clan......
Lu Wuzhen couldn't see what the warriors of the Zhao clan were best at.
The warriors from the Zhao clan, they seem to know all the fighting skills, but they are not so proficient.
Lu Wu had a little preconceived idea that the main reason was that the Zhao clan had not yet "lit up" his natural skills, and he was thinking about whether to train the warriors from the Zhao clan to become cavalry.
It's just that in the current war, there are almost no cavalry figures.
It is used to measure whether a country is strong, and the first thing to look at is how many chariots it can dispatch, so that there are terms such as "the country of a thousand times" and "the country of ten thousand times", which are used to specifically refer to a strong country.
In these days, when you go out to boast, you are not talking about how many cavalry or infantry your country can muster, but how many chariots your country can dispatch.
And when they talk about chariots, they actually cover the matching of chariots, that is, how many infantry.
Of course, Lü Wu counted samurai, not armor, and the difference between the two was very big.
"Bin." Lu Wu summoned Song Bin and asked, "Where can I buy horses?" ”
Song Bin was mainly in charge of military affairs in Lao Lu's house, and when he heard it, he happily replied: "You can go to Huo and Xintian; It is more necessary to go to the northern frontier, or to find Qin. ”
Hey!?
The Jin State, the Qin State, and Bai Di are all opponents, and they can still start trading?
Actually, it's nothing.
Countries are fighting to the death, but business is still going on as usual.
And those who can do business, without exception, are aristocrats.
Lu Wu asked the price of the war horse again.
The answer is realistic.
Prices vary from place to place, and even the quality of the horses varies from place to place.
In general, the current horses are actually not too expensive, but it is not so easy to buy horses in large quantities that have been tamed and can be used in battle.
A very real distinction is that not a horse can be used as a war horse, even if it is used to pull a chariot.
In addition to the quality of the horse itself, it is more about the acquired training.
The taming of the horse is only the first step, and it is necessary to train it so that it is accustomed to the dense crowd, and that it will not be instinctively driven to dodge anything it shoots, and it must not be frightened by any movement.
In general terms, it is necessary to force the horse to remove some instincts, and to make it know how to carry out some commands.
After a while, Lu Wu became a little congested.
The old Lu family really wants to buy war horses, and on the premise that there are channels, the wealth that can be taken out to buy horses will not exceed five hundred.
"The Lord is now a doctor, and he needs to bring twenty chariots and 1,500 soldiers." Of course, Song Bin knew that the old Lu family could take it, and he had his own understanding of Lu Wu's desire to increase the number of war horses, and said, "It's okay to slow down." ”
The knighthood has just been promoted.
The fiefdom under the name is also in the preliminary construction stage.
Furthermore, even if Lü Wu did not bring enough chariots and soldiers to participate in the war in accordance with the regulations within five years, it was not a violation of national law.
Of course, Song Bin hoped that the force under Lu Wu's command would be as strong as possible, but he knew that everything should not be rushed.
He thought that Lu Wu was taking precautions, and had already begun to think about supplements after participating in the war, or he had to persuade Lu Wu to hold back that turbulent heart.
"Lord?" Song Bin hesitated for a moment and asked, "Why worry?" ”
Lu Wu was just thinking about whether to train cavalry, and when he heard Song Bin ask, he didn't react for a while.
"Jin and Qin Weiping, will there be another war this year?" Song Bin was summarizing and summarizing the information he had obtained, and said: "Subordinate to the army? The new army is stationed in Huoye! ”
Isn't that right?
It was last year that the army participated in the Battle of Huo, and didn't it serve this year?
Lu Wu said: "The monarch seeks medical treatment, and the Qin monarch is about to send Bian Que." ”
Because the doctors in China were not good at healing, Jin Jinggong sent someone to ask Qin Henggong for help.
The two countries have entered a state of hostility, but Qin Henggong still sent a doctor, and he is already on his way to Xintian.
According to the normal state of the Chinese cultural circle, no matter how restless the Qin State is, no matter how much he has to talk about feelings, he should ...... Won't it be again, will it?
