Chapter 28: The lord is so difficult!
The feudalism of the Spring and Autumn Period was the real feudalism.
The territory of the aristocratic family, no matter what happens, outsiders can't control it at all, including the monarch.
If the king wants to take care of it, he needs to talk to the nobles and make them obedient in any way.
Once the nobleman is not happy, if he is not afraid of retaliation, he can completely not throw the monarch's face.
Of course, the nobles have all the rights to their own territory, and the rest of the nobles also have the right to retaliate against him if they are unhappy.
Therefore, although others don't care what their territory wants to do in their territory, they can deliberately isolate it, and even dig a pit to bury the nobles who don't like it.
The lord's lordship law is to protect himself, including the samurai and subjects under his rule, but it is also a constraint.
The laws of the state are meant to bind anyone, including the king, and to ensure the proper functioning of society.
There are no rules, everyone can do whatever they want, and the real law of the jungle will only cause chaos.
There is a situation that is common in all times.
If you provoke the anger of the people, it is not easy to do anything!
Lu Wu was a little afraid to open the axe, but the painting cake was definitely going to be painted.
He began to speak to the slaves, first telling the slaves that the old Lu family was not a strict family.
This passage was cheered by the people.
Later, he said that he was going to make an agreement with the slaves that if any of the slaves behaved well and were approved by him, the Danshu would be destroyed and the slave would be restored to his status as a free citizen.
After the speech, the scene was so quiet that the needle could be heard.
The people wondered if they had heard it wrong, and they were astonished.
The slave didn't believe it at all, thinking that anyone would do such a stupid thing.
Lu Wu just drew a pie, and if he really released the slaves, he would only be careful not to stimulate the rest of the nobles.
Completely ignoring the reaction of the crowd, he began to speak out loud about the rules.
Including the subjects, if they do a good job, they can not only get a female slave, but also receive a reward from him.
He also gave the example of a subject who was chosen to be a samurai.
The fact that there are many more samurai in the old Lu family is already known to the people.
It's just that the subjects think it's just a temporary lord arm.
They were stunned for a moment when they heard that those people would become the true samurai class, and then burst into enthusiastic cheers.
In particular, the family members who were selected as samurai screamed more than anyone else, and even shed tears.
My family is a samurai, and I don't have to pay taxes in the future, and I will become a "soldier" who has the right to go to the battlefield!
Because a family has a "scholar", the class of the whole family has changed, they are no longer mud legs facing the loess with their backs to the sky, they have the qualifications to be favored by nobles, maybe one day they can make great contributions, and they are also mixed with the identity of a small noble.
Most of the warriors from the Wei clan were frowning frequently.
Their family may have been Wei warriors for generations, and they were selected when they were young and trained to become killing machines using Wei's unique methods.
If they really wanted to fight hard, they felt that they could easily deal with the five people who had been newly given the status of samurai.
As a result, why are those people "scholars" like themselves?
It's simply insulting and ruining the class of "scholars"!
Lu Wu was a little speechless, he didn't say that the more than 20 people selected were all "scholars", waiting for the cheers to weaken, and looked at the old Zhuo next to him.
Zhuo, who was loyal but not smart, was a little confused by Lu Wu, and waited for Cheng Ying to go up and whisper a few words before he could react.
The old man stood up and spoke in time and explained the situation clearly.
After listening, the people in the family who were not selected were fine, but the people in the family who were selected were extremely disappointed.
At this time, it was time for Lu Wu to come out and speak, saying that the first batch of ten people would be promoted to become samurai, and the candidates would also be selected from those who had already been selected.
I used to think that I was successful, but I didn't really succeed yet, how happy and disappointed I was, and when I heard that I had obtained the "ticket", how much determination to struggle erupted just now.
Lu Wu was full of enthusiasm for them, and he definitely liked them.
All go to struggle and struggle.
Whoever does it is on it, and the cheap ones are all from the old Lu family.
Confirming that the subjects could be turned into samurai, the slaves were not greatly touched, but they understood that the old Lu family was on the rise, and it was at the stage where the lowest level personnel were most likely to break the ceiling above their heads.
In fact, the nobles needed to expand the number of samurai under their command, and generally gave priority to promoting them from among their own subjects, and they were forced to recruit samurai as a last resort.
In the words of later generations, the domestic ones are more reliable. No matter how capable outsiders are, who knows if they will betray at any time.
In addition, if the subjects are promoted by their own lords, if they become developed in the future, their status will become higher than that of the lords, and once they go to the valley, they will soon fall to the bottom again.
That's that no one likes someone who doesn't know how to be grateful.
Now there is a ready-made example.
It was only by Zhao Dun's appreciation that Han Ju really made his mark, and the Han family had the opportunity to become one of the "secretaries" of the Jin Kingdom.
He has always been grateful to Zhao Dun for his appreciation and help, and then thanked the Zhao Clan's main sect, and after he became developed, he became the most loyal ally of the Zhao Clan's main sect.
That is, the main sect of the Zhao clan was destroyed too abruptly and quickly, otherwise there is a high probability that the Han clan will be the main sect of the Zhao clan to face the nobles.
Victorious, Zhao and Han ascended to heaven together.
defeated, the Zhao family and the Han family also ascended to heaven together, but this ascension is really a family ascension.
Lü Wu asked the warrior to bring a white horse, and once again reaffirmed the agreement with the subjects and slaves, and the steel sword stabbed into the jaw of the white horse, and slammed it upwards with the handle, and the sword directly penetrated the white horse's head, revealing the tip of the sword.
At that moment, the white horse didn't have time to neigh, his whole body trembled, and his stiff hooves fell directly to the side.
Immediately, a samurai went up and wrapped the head of the white horse into a large wooden basin.
The eyes of the warriors present were all looking at the sword that Lu Wu was wiping with the hem of his clothes .......
In addition, he dared to do that because he knew in advance that he seemed to have changed, his body didn't look very strong, but his strength was surprisingly great.
It's just that he has been hiding clumsily and hasn't shown anyone.
The samurai has his own evaluation of the bucket Lu Wu just now, and his posture can only be said to be so-so, but he stabbed it directly through the head!
The head is full of bones, very hard bones.
Can this be pierced directly?
How sharp should that sword be?
Kill the white horse to swear an oath? This is Lu Wu's shameless act of "copying" Liu Bang, the difference is that Liu Bang had to be born for more than 300 years.
So, who copied whom, isn't it obvious!
Jia Lao Zhuo dipped his hand in some horse blood, walked over and wiped it on Lu Wu's forehead and lips.
Lu Wu subconsciously wanted to hide, but he didn't hide when he thought of something.
He felt the temperature on his forehead and the fishy smell on his mouth, and looked around calmly.
In fact, this is a very serious oath process, but it doesn't have to be a white horse to kill.
If such an act is done and then the words do not count, it is believed that the oath bearer will be killed by the god watching over him, and the family will be miserable.
Lu Wu, who is good at observation, how could he ignore the unhappiness of those warriors from the Wei clan.
The current old Lu family's foundation is too thin, and all he can choose is appeasement.
Therefore, in the presence of all the warriors, subjects, and slaves, he loudly praised the (Wei) warriors for their devotion and announced that they would be rewarded.
The samurai who have gained face and gained, and some simple-minded people, are eager to immediately shed their blood for Lu Wu.
So, in fact, people in this era are easy to be satisfied and quite easy to fool.
Lu Wu was quite satisfied with the result.
Which slaves will become free people, he can only count, and if he can control the number, it won't really make too much trouble.
The future and destiny of the samurai were also controlled by him.
To put it bluntly, everything is under control!
And Cheng Ying, who watched the whole process, didn't stop thinking about it on his face......
