Chapter 171: I Provoked Someone
It's normal for established vested interests to be wary of newcomers.
On the one hand, they think that there is only so much food on the table, and if there is one more person to share, there will be less food in their stomachs.
On the other hand, they are worried that the new entrants will disrupt the original order and leave everyone without food.
Often, the old vested interests are called conservatives, and there is a group of die-hard conservatives.
Lu Wu was guessing which family was hostile to the rise of the old Lu family, and why was it hostile.
The development speed of the old Lu family is very fast, but there has been a small entanglement with the Fan family in the sale of pottery, and the rest seems to be nothing, right?
If you want to talk about metallurgy, it is Wei's who should be vigilant and repulsed.
For a long time, Wei has not said anything, and there is no suppression.
In fact, it can be understood that the focus of Lu Wu's research and smelting is different from that of the Wei family, and the old Lu family is not involved in the sale of weapons and armor.
This time, on behalf of his father, Wei Xiang put forward a proposal to exchange fiefs with Lu Wu, and looked at the strategy of still implementing the old Lu family.
The Wei family, which may have a conflict of interest, did not deal with the old Lu family, and if the rest of the family targeted Lu Wu, it was only possible that they didn't want to see the Han family and the Wei family get too close, and even count the Zhi family.
As for the Zhao family? It's been forgotten in the unknown corner.
LΓΌ Wu and Zhao Wu exchanged letters from time to time.
According to Zhao Wu, he learned that the child had become a dead house, and he was busy studying hard and making progress every day.
After eating and drinking, the second generation praised Lu Wu's attention to eating and drinking, and left with the guards.
Lu Wu looked at the messy lobby and sat alone for a short while.
What attitudes these second generations have, based on what their elders think.
There has always been no such thing as a joy among the nobles of the Jin Kingdom, even if they get close for a certain period of time, it is also the interest of the family.
Wait for the respective benefits to be obtained, or if they are not obtained, the honeymoon period will end.
It is rare to remember which family's favor to him is like Han, and he has to repay it regardless of his own interests.
Lu Wu sensed Luan's vigilance against himself, thinking that the two sides had never had a deep relationship, and there was no conflict between the family's various industries, so he couldn't figure out what the situation was.
Later, he specially learned about the development history of the Luan family.
Fortunately, several Qing families are famous enough in the Jin Kingdom, and some relevant information is not difficult to inquire.
Things that are too secret are hard to discover.
Complete blurring is not.
Luan Shu was able to rise first because of the support of Zhao Shuo (then a military general), and later because of the appreciation of Yin Que (then a marshal, ruling party, and a general of the Chinese army).
When he was close to Zhao Shuo, the Zhao family pursued the family line when Zhao Dun was in power, and was close to the Xian family and the Hao family; Suppress Xun's and Shi's, and squeeze out Luan's and Xu's.
During this period, Zhao Shuo died of depression because many Zhengzhi ideas were different from Zhao Tong and Zhao Kuo.
Luan Shu felt that Zhao Shuo, who was kind to him, was persecuted by the same clan of the Zhao family, so he died young.
In addition, although Zhao Tong and Zhao Kuo are lower in position than Zhao Shuo, they have more say in the Zhao family's main sect, and have blocked Luanshu's promotion path many times, and even almost didn't let Luan's name in the Jin Kingdom.
This is also the reason why Luan Shu later did not help Zhao at all when Zhao was in trouble, but on the contrary, he fell into the well.
About He's?
Luan Shu has always been grateful to Yin Que for his appreciation and care for him, and Xun Ke has also helped him speak many times, so that he can keep the title of Xia Junzuo and not let Luan be kicked off the throne.
Xun's Xun Lin's father became the ruling state of the Jin State, which was the most difficult time for Luan Shu.
Later, the "Battle of Yi" between the Jin and Chu states took place, which ended with the crushing defeat of the Jin state and the surrender of the hegemony of the Central Plains in a humiliating and embarrassing way.
This is also the most glorious period of the Chu State.
They drink the Yellow River and feel that this generation can shine forever.
On the Jin side, Xun Lin's father stepped down after the "Battle of Yi", and in addition to the capture of Zhigang, the Xun family also suffered the heaviest losses among several Qing families.
At that time, Luan Shu chose to endure humiliation and give Xun's charcoal in the snow, which deeply moved Xun's Zhongxing Geng.
On the other hand, Luan Shu saw that the rise of the Hao clan was unstoppable, and did his best to assist the Xun Ke of the Hao clan, creating a foundation for the rise of the Luan clan in the future.
When Luan Shu thought that it would take him a long time to climb up step by step, pie fell from the sky!
Jin Jinggong had just restructured the Jin State into the third year of the Twelve Secretaries, and Xun Ke, who was then a marshal, ruling and general of the Chinese army, had come to the end of his life.
Thinking about the future of the Xun family, Xun Ke was really worried about Xun's uncle and nephew before he died.
After his death, he should have been promoted from the head of the Chinese army to Zhengqing (marshal, ruling officer), and Xun Shou was succeeded by his nephew Xun Geng.
Thinking of this, Xun Ke thought that Xun Shou and Xun Geng were both political enemies, and it was very likely that they would be unfavorable to the monarch and the Xun family.
Over the years, only Luan Shu has supported Hao Ke as always, and only Luan Shu has been able to serve as the secretary of the Jin State.
Xun Ke asked Jin Jinggong and the ministers of the court for instructions, and Luan Shu also played a key role in being a wonderful person in the past.
Except for Zhao Tong and Zhao Kuo, the rest of the "Qing" did not object to Luan Shu as Zhengqing.
At that time, the Zhao family was so arrogant that no one could stand it, so that the rest of the "Qing" quickly reached a consensus: Let's do the Zhao family together!
So, under the strong leadership of Xun Ke, Luan Shu ascended to the sky as a military general, took the Chinese army, and then commanded the three armies, and served as the ruling doctor, which opened the prelude to Luan Shu's rule.
"It turns out that the Wei clan was controlled by the Zhi clan before?" Lu Wu really didn't know that the Wei clan had a chance to develop because of the surrender of the Xun clan, and thought: "The three Xun clans (including the Zhongxing clan and the Zhi clan) are unique; Fan's Yu clan, Liu clan and Shi clan are another lineage; Luan's family, the Hao family, and some other families, driven by mutual benefit, to promote political associations? β
There are so many families, which may have different prefixes, but they are from the same family.
That is, Lu Wu doesn't know about history, or he shouldn't know that Shilu is the ancestor of Liu Bang's genealogy.
In addition, the history of the Wei clan is based on the first submission to the Zhi clan, and it is not an exception.
The political ecology of the Zhuxia countries decided that the big guys all developed in this way.
"It's weird!" Lu Wu was puzzled and thought, "The Luan clan was able to rise because the Xun clan suffered a major blow. The Wei clan also took advantage of that time to get rid of the Zhi clan's control and move closer to the Han clan? β
Unless the family is too weak, to a certain extent, every family cannot lack an education.
That is, when the members of the lineage were still young, the history of several big nobles would be popularized.
So as to know which families are in what relationship, and what to avoid when dealing with them.
"The Zhengzhi alliance between the Luan clan and the Hao clan has obviously broken down?" Lu Wu only heard that Xun Qi had repeatedly offended Luan Shu, and Xun Geng had been transferred by Luan Shu to become a loyal horse boy. He pondered, "The three Xun families are just maintaining a superficial unity? Xun Geng's body bones are no longer good. Once he dies, will the Xun clan and the Zhongxing clan follow in the footsteps of the Luan clan? β
This is very important to Lu Wu!
There is no love for no reason in the world, and there is no inexplicable hate.
Luan Huang's hostility towards Lu Wu must be related to some of Zhi's options.
Lu Wusi thought about it, only if Zhi Gang chose to form an alliance with Han Ju, would Luan Shu feel threatened.
In this way, as a bridge...... Or an excuse is fine, anyway, Lu Wu played some role, and being hostile became excusable.
When he was in Xintian, he avoided going out all the time.
Wei Xiang and Han Qi would come over sometimes.
Han Qi simply came to eat, drink and have fun, and by the way, he would discuss topics such as assault fighting with Lu Wu.
When Wei Xiang came to find Lu Wu, he talked about more things.
As for the rest of the family, after they divided the fruits from that row of stations, only Zhishuo came again, and the children of the rest of the family never came again.
After LΓΌ Wu arrived in Xintian and stayed for another month, a final decision was made on how to distribute the land ceded by the Qin State.
No matter how the monarch made trouble in the process, all the royal families and the powerful middle nobles in the country had a private agreement, which determined that under such a force, there would be no change in the distribution of benefits in advance.
Only three-tenths of the remaining land will create uncertainty.
The monarch made a fuss and bit off a tenth.
In the end, the remaining two-tenths were divided among the rest of the family.
When Lu Wu learned that the Qi clan had taken a large piece of new land, he was not surprised at all.
Qi Xi, who was born in the Gong family, has been acting as a mediator between the Gong family and various families.
It is destined that even if the nobles don't want the clan to become strong again, they should still give Qi Xi a little meat to eat.
After determining the division of interests, Lu Wu could no longer stay at home.
He needs to take the initiative to go to Wei's main residence in Xintian.
Nitta in autumn is no different from other cities.
The country did not go on a campaign, there were no tens of thousands of samurai who had to come to Nitta for the disbandment ceremony, and the east and west markets looked much more depressed.
Speaking of which, Lu Wu had never understood why things were called "things" before, referring to certain items in general.
When he knew the market distribution of the city in ancient times, he suddenly understood.
Wei's residence in Xintian covers a large area, and there are no stone beasts such as lions in front of the gate of the wall, but the door is larger, and there is a high threshold that can be removed.
In terms of buildings, the perimeter is blocked by an earthen wall, and most of the houses are thatched, and a few are wooden houses and attics.
Before Lu Wu arrived, he sent Liang Xing to inform.
Greeting him at the gate were Wei Jiang, Wei Jie, and Wei Xiang, and there was one of the elders who had never seen him.
This person's name is Bi Yang, and he is a branch of the Wei family.
He didn't know why he greeted Lu Wu with a group of juniors.
Entering from the gate, there is a very empty vestibule, no flowers and plants are planted, and what you can see is a vegetable garden.
In fact, this is also the current norm of the Zhuxia family, whether it is a big family or an ordinary family, but wherever the land can be used, planting edible plants is a mainstream practice.
Come to a wooden house.
Their unanimous approach was to take off the "shoes" under their feet, but their feet were wrapped in cloth, and they stepped on the wooden floor and walked in.
Lu Wu entered a lobby and saw that the elders of the Wei family were there, and at the same time he was surprised in his heart, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous on the mental level.
The three brothers, Ling Hu, Wei Mourning, and Lu Qi, their seats were facing the direction of the gate, and their eyes kept staring when they saw Lu Wu coming.
Several juniors of the Wei clan silently chose their own positions and sat down.
The middle-aged man who Lu Wu didn't know walked to the vacated seat next to the three elder brothers of the Wei clan and sat down with a smile.
"Uh......" Lu Wu didn't look left and right, but his eyes couldn't help but observe the environment, and he wondered: "What's the matter, this is?" β
