Lü Wu visually surveyed the coal mountain, and then observed the village.

He guessed from the buildings in the village that the inhabitants of the place should be between fifteen hundred and eighteen.

A village with such a population is actually quite large.

In the feudal territory of the old Lu family, only the subjects are counted, and the population is more than 500.

In any era, the size of the population represents the source of labor and soldiers.

Whereas before the widespread use of machines, the importance of population was even higher.

The Liang clan had at least 1,500 subjects, so it was no wonder that they were able to open up so much farmland.

Of course, this is also directly related to the fact that the village is located on the edge of the stream, otherwise it would be impossible to open up farmland under the lack of water.

The team led by Lu Wu stopped at the edge of the mountain.

Cheng Ying volunteered to enter the village and informed Liang Yi that the trading caravan of the old Lu family was coming.

Soon after.

A team came out of the village.

There were currently two leather carts, followed by a hundred or so people.

"It's Lu Shiwu, right?"

"In the next exactly. Presumably, the next step is Liang's hand. ”

Lu Wu was looking at Liang Zhu, and what he saw was a middle-aged man wearing a silk deep coat mixed and matched with a variety of colors, his hair was meticulously combed, and a copper hairpin was inserted.

At the same time, Liang Yi was naturally observing Lu Wu. He was slightly taken aback when he found that Lu Wu was so young, and then looked at Lu Wu's dress, and saw that Lu Wu was just wearing a set of linen light blue dark clothes, and contempt flashed in his eyes.

In these years, the more colors of clothes you wear, the more luxurious they are.

Being able to wear silk is the luxury of luxury.

Therefore, the color of the clothes, whether they are bright or not, all represent financial resources.

In this way, there is a shortage of everything at the moment, and if you want to dye more colored cloth, you need to collect more materials, and you also need to have that technology.

After a pleasantry that is not embarrassing or embarrassing.

Liang Ji looked at the warrior of the old Lu family at this time, but he was stunned when he saw it.

The warriors of the Wei clan were famous for their majesty and burliness, and they all looked like they were fierce.

And they now belong to the old Lu family.

Lu Wu was actually also observing the people who came out of the Liang family, and when he saw a few white people, he couldn't help but widen his eyes, and quickly covered up his gaffe.

Are there whites on the Eastern continent in this era?

Actually, there really is.

To the north of the Jin Kingdom is the territory of Bai Di and the Hu people, but the Hu people are not Caucasians, Bai Di is a group of ancient Qiang people who are still white. (Zhongshan Kingdom established by the Xianyu clan)

The Hu people do not inhabit one place in a fixed manner.

After Bai Di founded the country, he fixed his life in one place.

The nomadic Hu people, who brought white people from the west, generally as slaves.

And the white race is definitely not from Europe, it is likely that they were caught in the Western Regions.

After being quiet for a while, Liang Xi hid his embarrassment and laughed a few times, inviting Lu Wu into the village.

The two leather carts are two meters apart and walk side by side.

As the host, Liang Ji loudly introduced the rough situation of his title to Lu Wu, and the talk turned into showing off.

For example, the Lao Liang family not only has a long history, but also has been thriving.

How much farmland was developed in his hands, how many Hu people were defeated when he went north, how many prisoners were captured, and so on.

This kind of show-off is necessary.

Show your own strength, and if you want to cooperate, you will make your partners have a sense of expectation; If you want to make trouble, you must weigh the difference in strength between the two sides.

Lu Wu responded from time to time, but he was thinking in his heart: "The north of Lu Di is the territory of the Hu people, and the Liang family, like the old Lu family, is close to the frontier. But not directly on the edge, right? ”

He didn't know a thing.

The Spring and Autumn Period was an era in which the Chinese nation forged ahead.

The nobles of this age, if they were in the frontier of the Zhou Kingdom, those who did not have the strength would have been wiped out by the Hu people, and those who had the strength would spontaneously occupy the land outward.

This expansion is actually a reluctant move.

Just because the security circle is not extended outward, as a farming people who have settled in a certain place, the destruction of the fields is equivalent to having no food, and repeated attacks will kill people and make people panic.

Other countries don't know, but the Jin State is a country that encourages the nobles of Northern Xinjiang to go to the Hu people for displeasure.

The key is that the Jin State, as the overlord, will retaliate if it is not cowardly at all.

If the Hu people gathered an army and wanted to fight a large-scale war, the Jin State would not be able to ask for it.

Enter the village.

All the subjects from the Lao Lu family and ten warriors followed Lao Zhuo and stayed outside the Liang manor.

There will be a retainer of the Liang family to entertain Lao Zhuo, and at the same time, according to the last agreement, complete this transaction.

Lü Wu took Cheng Ying and twenty warriors into the Liang family's house.

When he returned home, he first arranged a place for Lu Wu to rest temporarily, confessed his guilt and left.

After Liang left, a group of Liang slaves who had been waiting for a long time came out with all kinds of things.

This batch are all female slaves, but their appearance is not very good.

They mainly served Lu Wu to carry out the necessary cleaning.

For example, waiting for Lu Wu to take off his coat and boots, take them out and shoot off the dust.

Help Lu Wu tidy up his hairstyle that was a little messy when he rode in the chariot, and wash his face, hands, and feet.

When this group of female slaves was done, they retreated, and another group of female slaves came.

The new slave girls were dressed differently from the modest ones of the previous batch.

They wore a suit that looked like a skirt, but it wasn't really a skirt, and it showed a bit of skin.

When they arrived, they first laid a straw mat on the floor, then a blanket, a few pillows were stacked high, and then a "U" wooden shelf was brought against the back of the pillows.

Ask Lu Wu to go over and lie down.

They were very careful in the division of labor, massaging Lu Wu respectively, shoulders, arms, palms, thighs, calves, and soles; One is dedicated to feeding fruits; The other was holding honey.

At this moment, Lu Wu endured very hard to not burst into tears.

This is the life of a nobleman, right?

It's like the old Lu family, as the lord, he has to do everything by himself.

Cheng Ying held the sleeping baby in her arms and sat quietly in the corner of the room, oblivious to everything that happened in front of her.

Cheng Ying, who has seen big scenes, if he wants to have any ideas, he can only say that Liang's female concubine is very ordinary, and the skills of serving people are too rough.

Lu Wu noticed that the back of his neck was being held down, and Huo Di sat up upright, waving his hand to make them stand back.

People, can the back of the neck be passive casually?

Even the head is not something that can be moved casually.

If you hold your head and twist it again, it depends on the situation, but you will definitely lose your mobility for a while, and it is very easy to be strangled by your neck.

If you are hit on the back of the neck, you will pass out.

Even if there are samurai on the left and right, they are on guard.

Even if he is sure that Liang Ji has no reason to harm himself.

Lü Wu also did not allow his life to be in the hands of others.

Women can't either!

Outside, there was the sound of feet stomping on the wooden floor, followed by a long laugh.

With the sound of laughter, Liang Zhu walked in and saw several female concubines kneeling on the ground trembling, and the laughter was cut off.
