Chapter 63: It's a Super Treasure Land!
Lu Wu seems to have ignored a point?
Although the Qin State is a member of the Chinese civilization circle, they have "evolved" and have long been less "courteous".
If the Qin State still talked about etiquette, Qin Henggong had to make an excuse before he set out on the expedition last year, so that he could invade the Jin State in a famous way.
But at some point, the state of Qin was again a country of etiquette.
For example, the two sides had obviously started a war, and Jin Jun asked Qin Jun (Qin Henggong) to send a doctor, and Qin Jun responded by sending a doctor.
At present, the "Bian Que" team, led by medical doctors, has crossed the Great River (Yellow River) and entered the territory of the Jin Kingdom.
This medical slowdown, medicine is a profession, and slow is a name.
The new army general Zhao Zhan first entertained him, figured out the intention of the "Bian Que" team, and sent people to Xintian to report urgently.
Even, the new army Zuo Hezhi personally led the army to escort the "Bian Que" team.
The nobles near Huocheng have been paying attention to the movements over there, and they may be able to cover up a small fight.
got Xun Zhi personally led the army to escort him, and the movement was really not small, and the news that Qin Guo came to "Bian Que" to see a doctor for Jin Jinggong quickly spread.
Before Qin's "Bian Que" team arrived in Xintian, the condition of the Jin monarch had improved.
According to the current practice, he asked the god witch (Sangtian Wu) to divinate himself.
Sang Tianwu carried out divination very seriously, telling Jin Jinggong to do whatever he wanted, and to have fun in time, otherwise he would be summoned by his ancestors before the autumn harvest.
The sentence "When you have no new wheat to eat" directly made the monarch, who had been in good condition, angry and seriously ill, the news was blocked by Marshal Luan Shu, and it was only circulated in a small area.
The nobles of the Jin Kingdom are now most concerned about Ji Shouman, who was summoned into the palace.
This Ji Shouman is the only son of the monarch who remains in the Jin Kingdom.
The princes of the Jin State had a maneuver that the monarch would send many sons out of the country, and they could go wherever they liked, but they couldn't stay at home.
And what exactly this behavior is for is difficult to say.
Most people thought it was the impact of "Shen Sheng died inside, and Heavy Ears died outside".
In fact, it was just that the great nobles of the Jin Kingdom continued to brainwash the successive monarchs, and the monarchs of the Jin Kingdom believed in it, and really implemented the national policy of sending many sons abroad.
The king's son is not in the country, and the prince has lost a number of backbones.
The great nobles were intent on weakening the princes of the Jin Kingdom, and they did it.
Lu Wu is actually also paying attention to Ji Shouman.
Once the monarch is really seriously ill and dies, the candidate for the next monarch will definitely be Ji Shouman who did not run.
It's all because the son in the territory is just that.
Qin sent a doctor, whether it would continue to fight, Lu Wu actually couldn't guess.
He only knew that his fiefdom was too close to the Qin State, and in the event of a war, no matter which army responded to the battle, it would never be a mistake to be prepared.
The family foundation is thin and needs to be accumulated.
Under normal circumstances, it would take five years for a nobleman who was originally only a "scholar" class to be promoted to the "doctor" class, sort out the fiefdom, work hard to build it, and be self-sufficient.
This is also the reason why the Jin Kingdom will give the title promoter five years to take a break.
And many nobles are actually difficult to develop within five years after being promoted, resulting in waiting for the need to take on obligations, but they can't afford it.
In this case, the more you can't afford it, the more serious the consequences will be, dragging down the developing family, not being able to pay the endowment, and the fief will be reduced, until the title is cut down, and it will return to the title before the promotion, and even directly collapse, causing future generations to become commoners.
After spring ploughing, Lü Wu focused his efforts on the family's private army.
He counted the number of warriors under his command, not counting the armor he lent, but the number of armor soldiers was less than twenty.
This armor has a strict definition, not wearing wooden armor, rattan armor, leather armor, or any other armor to be considered a armor, you need to wear the metal armor that matches the tatsu.
In the current era, the main material of metal armor is bronze.
That is, the bronze is forged into pieces, and then combined with leather by various means to become a piece of bronze armor.
Due to material constraints, Lü Wu was unable to create more iron armor, and even the production of weapons was stopped.
He needed to use his limited materials to make much-needed farm tools.
The twenty armorers were all from the Wei clan, and they were all warriors carefully cultivated by the Wei clan.
Only these twenty armor soldiers are enough to protect the safety of the old Lu family's descendants for fifteen years.
The armor of the Spring and Autumn period is still rare.
Even if the great nobles can pull out more than 10,000 troops at every turn, the number of armor soldiers cannot be too much, and if there are a few hundred, they will look very rich.
Lu Wu's side is limited by the constraints of materials, not that he has not mastered the relevant technology.
The rest of the great nobles, they are the opposite.
In fact, there is a difference between knowing how to make metal armor, and the Jin Kingdom is temporarily leading in armor building technology.
The difference is in terms of material savings, as well as manufacturing speed, defense guarantees.
Even, maintenance is a test.
This requires a large number of professional craftsmen, but it is very difficult to train craftsmen, and the consumption is also very large.
In a series of busyness, one day Lu Wu saw Zhuo, who had become dark and thin, and remembered that he hadn't seen this old minister for more than a month.
Zhuo's ability was limited, and after the number of retainers of the old Lu family increased, he consciously withdrew from the competition for status, and asked Lu Wu for a mission to patrol the territory, and he patrolled the territory of the old Lu family for more than a month.
"Lord." Zhuo took out a black stone from the sack, and then took out a few other stones that looked characterless, and no one around lowered his voice, and said mysteriously: "Coal, iron, gold (copper)." ”
There is coal in Huotai Mountain, which has been sent by Lu Wu to dig out.
After all, open-pit coal is black and easy to find.
However, the characteristics of iron ore and copper ore are not so obvious, how did Zhuo find it?
Lu Wu didn't know anything.
Huo Taishan (Taiyue Mountain) is not only a place full of coal, but also has a considerable amount of iron ore reserves, and even has a very rich rest of the resources.
The rest of the minerals, even if they are found, do not know how to use them.
In addition to coal, iron and copper, there are actually several silver mines with decent reserves.
Lu Wu picked up the iron ore very cautiously, and the result was ...... I can't understand what the characteristics are.
He actually picked up the treasure.
Half of the fiefdom is mountainous, but it covers the coal area and the iron-rich ore area, and it is either open or buried not so deep underground!
"Lord." Zhuo obviously hadn't finished showing it yet, and grinned and said, "Its mountains have plains, which can be grazing; There are valleys in the mountains, and the rainfall is abundant, and mulberry and hemp can be planted. ”
Not to mention the rest, such as trees in the mountains and forests, are also very important resources.
Lu Wu suddenly felt that the old Lu family had treated Zhuo badly.
is obviously a talent who is good at finding and positioning development needs, but the old Lu family's previous feudal collar was so small that Zhuo's talents could not be displayed.
There is a copper mine in the fiefdom, and Lü Wu will carry out a news blockade.
It's not for the sake of annexation, but I don't want the monarch to send a team to mine, lest there be more outsiders in the territory.
After learning that there was iron ore in his fiefdom, Lu Wu needed to plan well and think about how to train more blacksmiths and build up smelting facilities.
