According to the weekly ceremony, a man who holds a crown ceremony at the age of 20 can be regarded as a true adult.

This "adult" is about being able to help the family fulfill some responsibilities and take on some positions.

However, it is not necessary to be 20 years old to perform the crown ceremony, and it can be done at any time under special circumstances.

Lu Wu just knew that "himself" was only fourteen years old not long ago.

And the reason why I knew it was that the old grandmother, under the witness of the only retainer, Zhuo, held a crown ceremony for Lu Wu.

The more prominent the status, the more solemn and complex the etiquette of the crown ceremony.

The crown ceremony of the commoner is to change the hair style, and it is completed.

If it is normal, how can the old Lu family be a small noble, and the only heir wants to perform the crown ceremony, he will definitely invite some people of comparable status to come over to watch the ceremony, and even invite someone with higher status to preside.

But the old Lu family was in ruins, and there were just signs of prosperity, and the old grandmother didn't know what it was stimulating, and she couldn't wait for the old Lu family to revitalize, so she couldn't wait to give Lu Wu a crown ceremony with only one retainer as a witness.

As soon as the crown ceremony was over, Lu Wu received a bronze key and a roll of bamboo slips from his grandmother's hand.

Giving the key means that Lu Wu will decide all the policies of the old Lu family in the future, and the family will actually take him as the only leader.

That scroll of bamboo slips is a certificate of nobility, and at the same time, it is clear where the old Lu family's feudal title came from, how large the scope is, and the general topographical description inside.

Later, the elder Zhuo handed over all the boxes containing the Danshu (deed of sale) to Lü Wu, representing that Lü Wu had mastered the life and death of all warriors, subjects, and slaves from that moment on.

From tying a ponytail casually, to tying your hair with a hairpin, changing your hairstyle is equivalent to ushering in a new life.

Lu Wu is what to do and what to continue to do.

After the construction of the houses needed by the samurai and craftsmen, it was the job of the old man to allocate land to the samurai.

Where to put the workshop and what kind of planning to make, this work that Lao Zhuo couldn't bear fell into the hands of Lu Wu.

A metallurgical workshop must first have a furnace, and Lu Wu chose the most common shaft furnace according to the impression of some archaeological programs, combined with the actual opinions of craftsmen.

Building such a furnace couldn't be easier.

First of all, it is necessary to select the right soil to build the bottom and cylinder of the furnace, which is generally made of mixed materials, that is, the suitable clay is then covered with fine sand, and then infiltrated into the mixture of charcoal dust and crushed iron ore to be compacted layer by layer.

Most of them were designed and manufactured by craftsmen, and Lu Wu found that they had left some openings, and asked if they were going to be used to put "驟龍".

Those two words are pronounced tuó yuè, which are the ancient instruments used to blow fire and wind.

Lu Wu has a vision that is more than 2,700 years ahead, but he is not necessarily more professional than a craftsman.

So, the professional work is left to the professionals.

Cheng Ying appeared halfway through the construction of the smelting workshop.

He always took the baby with him, saw the old Lu family building a smelting workshop, watched for a day or two, I don't know if I can't stand it, or I feel that I can't eat rice, so I gave the craftsman some guidance.

Craftsmen don't dare to say whatever others say.

They felt that Cheng Ying's opinion was reasonable, so they consulted Lu Wu, and only after obtaining their consent did they revise it according to Cheng Ying's opinion.

When you're busy, time flies very quickly.

More than a month passed in a blink of an eye, and Lu Wu sent away the first batch of cooks who came to learn how to cook, and suddenly found that all the things that should be explained were already in progress, and no new projects could be opened.

During that period of time, Wei Xiang and other children of the noble family did not come back, which was beyond Lu Wu's expectations.

He originally thought that a few children of the great nobles would come over to eat and drink in three or two days.

The first batch of iron pots in the smelting workshop was made, and after sending someone to inform Wei, Wei Xiang sent a team to take back the first batch of iron pots.

Wei Xiang also asked his retainers to send a letter to Lü Wu.

Written in bamboo abbreviation, of course.

said that I was looking forward to coming to Lao Lu's house again to eat delicious, but I have been very busy recently and have no chance.

In addition, he said that he tried the dishes of the chef who returned to the cook, and felt that they were not as delicious as those made by Lu Wu.

Finally, tell Lu Wu that the matter of opening a restaurant is already underway, and let him wait for good news.

The cooperation between the old Lu family and the Wei family is obviously provided by Lu Wu, but the Wei family accounts for sixty percent of them, the Han family accounts for three and a half percent, and Lu Wu only gets half of them.

That is, if it is divided into 100 shares, Wei gets 60 shares, Han gets 35 shares, and Lu Wu gets 5 shares.

Lu Wu was not dissatisfied with this.

He didn't have so much face for the nobles to agree to open a restaurant on his own territory.

Moreover, everything that makes the iron pot, including buying land and building buildings, ingredients, etc., including labor, is made by Wei and Han.

Anyway, what's not to be satisfied with?

Lü Wu also has a project that Wei and Han do not mix.

He really wanted to get a roadside stall, that is, sell soy milk and fritters.

Of course, he didn't go and set up the stall himself, he would build the tools he needed, and then find willing subjects, and the subjects would go to various villages or cities to run them.

In the early stage, the old Lu family will fully invest.

The loss is all due to the old Lu family.

If you can make money, everything from the stall will be given to the people on credit in the form of loans, and then the old Lu family will account for 60% of the shares in the first year of this business, which will decrease year by year until it accounts for 10% and has the right to dividends permanently.

This method is more Zhou Peel than Zhou Peel, but it is a unique practice in the Spring and Autumn Period.

So much so that after Lu Wu explained to the subjects who were willing to take risks, they not only felt that Lu Wu was exploiting, but also felt that Lu Wu was a great good person.

In fact, it is said that the people work for the lord for nothing, and there is no salary.

Lü Wu taught the private means of livelihood and promised to help start a business.

Therefore, even if the old Lu family permanently occupies a part of the red, and the subjects need to provide their own labor and logistics, they will only be grateful to Dade.

Another month and a half passed, and when Lu Wu, who was quietly thinking, couldn't stand it anymore, the old man told him that it was time to do something for the people.

What are the nobles of this year going to do for their subordinates?

It is a very crude generalization to appoint subjects at will, but to lead them to a prosperous life.

When Lu Wu learned that he should gather the samurai and take them to kill a group of animals around him and eliminate the fierce beasts within the territory, he immediately became interested.

And this is actually the responsibility of the lord.

"It's kind of moving!" Lu Wuhuo went from laziness to excitement, and asked, "Where are my armor and weapons?" ”

The old man Zhuo had already prepared, but when he took the armor and weapons back, Lu Wu frowned.

Obviously, the leather armor and weapons are all "ancestral" from the old Lu family.

That is, the father of Lu Wu's "predecessor" left.

The leather armor was old, and it still looked too big for Lu Wu.

He pulled the bronze sword out of its wooden sheath and found that the blade had many chips, as if it could be used as a saw if it was used again!

There is a smelting workshop and iron ingots at home, why don't you go and build iron weapons?

Just because you can't make iron weapons, it's equivalent to being able to make iron weapons that you can use!

At present, bronze technology has not yet developed to the peak, and the technology of iron is only in the initial application stage.

That is, with the current technology, it is not impossible to build an iron sword.

But, believe it or not, the iron sword and the bronze sword are slashed, and it is the iron sword, not the bronze sword, that breaks.

Lu Wu's eyes seemed to be looking at the bronze sword, but his pupils were not focused, he was thinking: "Raising the temperature can smelt purer iron; I do remember some of the forging techniques; It's just a good recall, what is added, that is, what is the recipe, so that the quality of the iron material can meet the standard for making weapons? ”
