If there is anything in the world that never stands still, it is undoubtedly the passage of time.

Wei Xiang and other Wei family children, including the nobles who came with them, stayed on the side of the old Lu family for a month and a half, and the situation seemed to have stabilized on the Xintian side because of the monarch's illness.

They also left Lao Lu's house and went back to where they should go.

Thanks to the relationship between the Han family and the Wei family, Lu Wu's news channel is not closed, and when he heard that the monarch was going to eat this year's new wheat, it can be regarded as something he forgot before remembering it.

The key word is "new wheat", and the monarch must eat this year's wheat.

Before, a god named Sangtian Wu concluded that Jin Jinggong couldn't eat this year's new wheat.

After hearing this, Lu Wu knew that the monarch really couldn't live this year.

After all, there is such a thing as falling into the toilet and drowning, and the monarch in Chinese history is just such a thing.

Lu Wu was very interested in history before he crossed over, although he hadn't read the history of the Spring and Autumn Period, and he only read a few Spring and Autumn texts when looking for novels.

But some authors like to play with the king of the Jin Kingdom who fell into the pit and drowned.

When he watched it, he was really impressed enough.

The season has not yet entered the summer, and there is still some time before the wheat harvest.

It was the relationship that the monarch's condition improved, and not only the tense atmosphere was relieved, but many things that had been stagnant continued to unfold.

Before Wei Xiang and the others left, news came from Xintian.

At the beginning of this year, Zheng Guo was ordained a new monarch.

And the old Zheng Guojun (Zheng Chenggong) was actually detained in the Jin Kingdom and never went back.

When the new monarch of Zheng came to the throne, he immediately sent an envoy to the Jin State and expressed to the Jin State that he would never give in.

Jin Jinggong's illness has been recurring for a long time, and he has not managed the country for several days.

The military aspect of the Jin State has always been discussed and decided by the ministers, and the monarch is only a personal seal every time.

To put it bluntly, the monarch is a tool for the necessary processes of etiquette, and he cannot make any ideas in military affairs.

Marshal Luan Shu consulted the monarch as usual.

The monarch also agreed to the results of Luan's deliberations with the secretaries as usual.

There is also a convention, that is, every time the Jin State wants to send troops, it will definitely pull a group of younger brothers.

Xintian sent envoys to the world, but Qi, Song, Wei, and Cao responded and decided to follow the boss to send troops to bully Zheng Guo.

Another loyal younger brother of the Jin State, that is, the Lu State, the reason why they did not send troops this time was very real.

On the one hand, the State of Qi sent troops to respond to the invitation of the State of Jin, and on the other hand, it also sent troops to beat the State of Lu.

Since Guan Zhong succeeded in changing the law in Qi State, Lu Guo was already an old sandbag in Qi State, and he went over to beat him up if he had nothing to do.

Therefore, in fact, I can understand why the disciples of Confucianism and Dajiao, who developed and rose in Ludi in the future, hated merchants so much.

The country of Qi is strong in commerce, and it will beat our ancestors at every turn.

Just like Confucianism and the Mohists have formed a mortal enemy in long-term competition, anyway, the ancestors can't get it, so let's counterattack the descendants of those who do that business!

(Of course, the above is a joke, in fact, every era has its own demands, and poor people must also have something to hate.) ）

It's the same as what Han Wuji said.

As long as it wasn't for the Qin State to make trouble again, not only would there be no task for the army, but the nobles around Huodi would be able to live happily in their own nests.

Lu Wu didn't know if the Qin army would come this year.

After the Wei family left, he held back for a long time to start planning the smelting workshop.

The fief contained borrowed craftsmen and other laborers.

The craftsmen of the old Lu family were transferred into the mountain.

He still chose the valley he had seen before, and wanted to build a smelting base there.

Of course, the scale will not be too big at the beginning, but the foundation that should be laid must be done.

And the brick kiln, he has already tried to make one.

The old brick-fired kilns do not have too high-end technical content, and what is needed is "creativity" far ahead of this era.

A closed cave was built out of rammed earth and a partition was set up.

He tried with coal and wood, burned the substandard bricks, and then gradually rebuilt the cave, and adjusted the temperature, and spent thirteen days to burn the qualified bricks.

Brick is a rectangular thing, depending on what soil is the main material, and what color it is fired out.

The first batch of fired bricks, their main material is ash, which naturally tends to be gray.

With the first batch of qualified bricks, the labor force also accumulated experience in the process of experimentation, and they tried it under the watchful eye of Lu Wu, and it took four more attempts before another batch was successful.

It didn't take Lu Wu's intervention to succeed, which means that they have mastered the process of burning bricks.

Lu Wu didn't have to spend his time entirely in the brick-burning workshop, and could do the rest.

What is he burning bricks for?

It's definitely not about taking bricks to build walls.

Although the technology of brick burning has been mastered, the production of bricks is a repetitive process, and increasing the output only requires additional manpower.

However, the construction of walls with bricks is still too extravagant in the present era.

It's just a middle-class aristocratic ......, no, it's actually Lu Wu, who is a middle-to-lower aristocracy, and he suggested that Zhao Wu should reduce his sense of existence, and he can do it until he grows up, and there is no reason why he forgets the necessity of Gou.

It takes at least two years to gather the materials to build the city, and another four to five years to build the city.

This is Lu Wu's schedule.

And this city is limited by the size of the title, and it will definitely not be very big at first.

As the summer approached, Han and Wei began to transfer back their laborers, along with the craftsmen.

Before the craftsman left, seventeen farms and seven manors were built for the old Lu family.

The slaves carved out nearly 7,000 acres of farmland, and they did a lot of miscellaneous things.

For example, a system of canals has been excavated and roads that need to be penetrated have been cleared.

Han and Wei didn't feel that they were losing.

First of all, Lu Wu helped them raise this group of people for so long.

Moreover, they worked in Lao Lu's family and learned a lot of skills that they didn't have before.

Counting it up, the Han family and the Wei family are making a lot of money!

Because of the relationship deliberately arranged by Lu Wu, the population of the old Lu family was concentrated as much as possible.

This "yin" will create a lot of vacuum areas.

The key is that the current population of the old Lu family is so large, and having people everywhere means that they can't do their best everywhere, and if they don't mention the trouble of recruitment, there will be very big problems in defense.

Lu Wu, who has been busy, ushered in the second harvest season after this era.

Of course, not all plant-based foods are ripe.

Millet and millet can not be harvested until autumn, and the maturity period of millet is about the same, and rice is earlier.

Wheat can be harvested in the summer.

Lao Lu's family planted some of everything, because the planting time and maturity time of each plant seed are different, and they will plant less soybean during spring ploughing, and wait for the wheat harvest to be replanted.

And all kinds of vegetables, as well as such as sunflowers, rape flowers, mulberry hemp, etc., have their own production and maturation time.

The significance of this year's wheat harvest is important to the Jin Kingdom, and they will have a new monarch.

Jin Jinggong will also become the only monarch in Chinese history who fell into a pit and drowned.

Lu Wu, who knew what was going to happen, didn't tell anyone.

Cause?

Come on, let's explain, how do you know.
