Chapter 1: The Little Lord of Spring and Autumn
During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, surnames were used instead of surnames, and surnames were only tribal names and titles.
The surname is the place where his ancestors are examined.
The clan is divided among its descendants.
The clan can also be changed due to the alteration of the fief or the change of occupation.
Therefore, Lü Wu is not surnamed Lü, but is only titled in "Lü", and his surname is Lin.
That is, the martial arts from the Lin tribe.
It is now called by a given name instead of a surname, or prefixed with a position.
Therefore, even if he is called Lu Wu now, if there is a change in the title in the future, or a more prominent position, a new name prefix will appear at any time.
Half a month ago, his soul penetrated into the body of a teenager, and when he woke up, he was surrounded by men and women kneeling and crying, as well as a grandmother who was about to cry blind.
He only had time to see clearly that he was in a courtyard surrounded by thatched roofs, and he lost consciousness again as soon as it was dark in front of his eyes.
When a group of people found the dead resurrected, they were shocked and then overjoyed.
Surprise is naturally surprised that you can be resurrected after death.
Joy is joy for those who should be buried, but it can be regarded as not having to be buried; Those who are to be trafficked can continue to stay in the family; Those who should be scattered do not have to face an unknown future.
The old grandmother hugged her grandson who had come back from the dead, and kept shouting that there was no end to it.
Waking up again, Lu Wu spent a day figuring out his condition.
crossed, that must have been crossed, and also penetrated to a place called Lu, so it is also called Lu Wu.
This piece of land is respected by the Wei family.
Wei was one of the great doctors of the Jin Kingdom, and he was also the largest lord of this region, which was cut off by mountains and had two mouths.
Moreover, the reason why the place is called Lu is that Wei named it. (So the Wei family is also Lu Zu)
The Lü Wu family was one of the many minor nobles who were attached to the Wei family.
Suddenly, he became a teenager of only fourteen, without a mirror, and he could only see a vague appearance in the reflection of the water.
What time traveled to? As soon as he heard about the Jin Kingdom, he heard that last year, the nobles responded to the king's call and the nobles eliminated the main sect of the Zhao clan (Zhao family), and guessed the approximate historical node.
He seems to remember which book mentioned that the Jin Kingdom was called Tang at the beginning, and why was it not the soul that wore it to the Tang Dynasty, how to wear it directly for more than 2,600 years, and it was worn to the Spring and Autumn Period.
The vassal states of the king of Zhou, Hou Zhuanbo, Zhuangong, Ji surname Jin, the first monarch Tang Shuyu is the son of King Ji Fa of Zhou Wu, and the younger brother of King Ji Yu of Zhou. The country name was originally Tang, and after Tang Shuyu's son Xie ascended the throne, it was changed to Jin.
Therefore, Lu Wu is actually not mistaken.
And the Book of Songs. Xiaoya" is certified with the initial country name, and there is no "Jin Feng" on it, only "Tang Feng", which is also a proof.
"Lord?"
"Why ......, ahem, what's the matter?"
The person who came was a man whose age could not be identified by his appearance.
The reason why it is impossible to determine the age is mainly because after each person becomes an adult, what kind of work he does and how much mental pressure he or she undergoes will directly affect his appearance.
"Lord, Tao has been completed."
"Oh."
For half a month, Lu Wu's biggest and most unbearable thing was the poor quality of life.
He also needs to be thankful that he is a nobleman who has crossed over, and even if it is a minor nobleman, he is far luckier than dressing as a commoner or a slave.
Because this era is not for the aristocracy, it is difficult to have a human appearance.
The houses of this era were either rammed earth walls, or walls were made of random fences filled with hay, and the roofs were made of thatch.
Even if they were big nobles, princesses, or monarchs, before bricks were invented, they lived in houses made of rammed earth or wooden rakumaki, and at most the roofs were tiled.
Building a house out of stone is too extravagant, and you can only build a small house for a special purpose.
Lu Wu immediately stood up from the wooden floor and ran towards the back house area in high spirits.
He lived in a large mansion surrounded by a low rammed earth wall, which was divided into three residential areas.
The front house is the living area of the servants, and it is a kind of row house. (According to this era, it is called Lifang, and the house is called Lishe.) And subordinate means slave. )
The middle house has its own inner courtyard and several scattered houses.
The back house is a kitchen, stables, livestock pens, and firewood houses...... Wait a minute.
Therefore, the current back house area is not a residential area, but is used as a logistics area.
I don't know if it's not enough grade, or if I don't pay so much attention to it at present, I can't see the garden and pond, but there is a pavilion in the courtyard of the middle house.
There are trees in the house, but they grow naturally, not from other places, and are not carefully pruned.
Most of the houses are just primitive dirt floors, but often trampled on them, becoming very thick and even looking smooth.
The house dedicated to Lü Wu is the only building with wooden planks and floors.
His family was a minor nobleman in the Jin Kingdom, and he had a title.
Once the fiefdom of the nobles is taken away, the premise is not to commit crimes, they are down-and-out nobles, and those who leave their hometowns are wandering nobles.
If he is punished for his crimes, and the fief is confiscated without cutting off the nobility, there is still a chance to make a comeback; If you lose your fiefdom and don't have a noble status, you will most likely die. (The man who got those turf didn't want him alive.) )
Lü Wu traveled to 582 BC, spring.
As for the number of months, the Taichu calendar based on the lunar calendar needed to be formulated until the Western Han Dynasty.
Looking at the history books, the historical records of the Spring and Autumn Period are generally the spring of a certain year, the autumn of a certain year, and there is basically no clear month.
Therefore, later generations are naming this period, which is also called Spring and Autumn.
Last year, under the manipulation of Zhao Zhuangji (the woman who married Zhao Zhuangzi), the monarch of Ji (Jin Jinggong) called on all the nobles to attack the Zhao family.
Zhao Tong and Zhao Kuo (not the one on paper) were caught off guard and were killed.
The women surnamed Ji hated the monopoly of Yuan and Ping (Zhao's fiefdom), raised their butcher's knives to their clan, and vented the hatred accumulated by the surname Ying (Zhao) over the years.
For a while, the temple was stained with blood, and the Zhao family was tragically destroyed.
The Zhao family's property, fiefdoms, warriors, and servants were divided, leaving only one son.
This is the Zhao orphan.
Of course, those were far from Lu Wu.
He has set a small goal for himself, to improve his current living environment and make his life more comfortable.
Rest?
Of course, it is to stabilize first, figure out more things, and then set more long-term goals.
Lü Wu's family was a minor nobleman.
How small is it?
said that it was a feudal collar, but in fact, it was only ten miles long around the perimeter.
The fiefdom of the great nobles, the length of the four sides is based on thousands of miles.
In the past half a month, he took a look at his fiefdom, and there was only one village in the range.
The village is not only the food of their small nobles, but there are more than 500 villagers, who are regarded as lords, and in the words of later generations, they are called tenants.
Simply, most of the domain was flat, and there was a low mountain and a stream containing it.
If the surrounding mountains and rivers were not distributed to the nobles, they were the property of the king.
If you don't have the owner, you can't move it.
The immovable restriction is all behavior.
That is to say, once it is more serious, even if you go to the mountains to cut grass and wood, dig ditches in the river to divert water into the fields, fish, boating, ......, it is a crime.
If it is a fief of the nobility, except for the copper ore, the rest of the ownership is in the hands of the lord.
Come to the back house.
Lu Wu went straight to a row of wooden shelves.
There are several pottery vessels of different shapes on it.
After checking them individually, he grinned and said, "Good! ”
He especially remembered the days when he just woke up, his body was so weak that he couldn't do it, and the food he ate was monotonous, and it was no different from pig food.
It is said that it is pig food, not simply unpalatable, the main thing is that what ingredients are cooked to a thin extent, and even become sticky I don't know what to do.
Without good cooking utensils, no matter how good the food is, you can't cook it well.
Nowadays, the way people cook things is very crude, either they put it in a clay pot and boil it directly in white water, and it is delicious to be able to sprinkle some salt luxuriously; Then there is the barbecue, or the kind that does not put any seasonings, completely close to nature; It can also be eaten as a kudney, that is, fish and meat are cut into thin slices and eaten raw. It's just that seafood is usually eaten raw.
I can't pay attention to the food I eat for the time being.
In addition to the food limitations, there is more of a lack of spices.
Lu Wu wanted to decide what kind of utensils he could use, including what kind of tools he chose to use to cook, not everything in a clay pot and boiled into a puddle of paste.
For modern people, the current era is equivalent to wanting nothing, and anyone who has traveled over can live the addiction of an inventor.
If you have a lot of knowledge and a variety of practical skills, becoming an inventor is a matter of nails. (provided that it is not burned to death as a monster)
In order to be able to make pottery, he worked a lot, and it was not enough to teach him by hand, and he even got the potter's wheel.
"The smaller ones are the bowls; The soup cup can be used to serve soup; Crockpots can be used for stir-frying; ...... the plate, wait for the stir-fry to come out first; Of course, the water cup is used to hold water......" Lu Wu didn't talk to himself, he filtered it in his mind, looked at the old man, and asked, "Can you sell pottery on a large scale?" ”
The old man replied in embarrassment: "Lord, Tao sells ...... for the Fan clan."
The elder of the family now does not simply refer to the housekeeper, but also includes the old ministers of the family.
He is one of his subordinates and has been loyal to the Lu family for many years.
The first batch of pottery was not very beautiful, but it was more durable than the pottery on the market, and the clay that Lü Wu chose made the pottery more durable.
The most important thing is that there are many styles!
Fan's?
Lü Wu did not receive the memories of his "predecessor", and some functions were inherited.
For example, being able to listen and speak the current language.
Writing needs to be learned and practiced.
He didn't know which Fan clan was, but he knew that being able to be called a great nobleman was definitely not something he could provoke now.
Fan is one of the current Eight Qings of the Jin Kingdom.
At the same time, Fan's is a branch of "Youtao", with a history of 2,000 years of pottery manufacturing, and is a big family that controls the pottery made in the Jin Kingdom.
"...... are sold in the village," Lu Wu asked hopefully, "Is it possible?" ”
The old man replied, "Yes." ”
It is now spring and autumn, and quite a few words of later generations have not yet been created.
People usually speak very simply.
For example, a domestic servant will be addressed as "master" rather than "head of the house."
Lu Wu spent more than half a month learning about where he lived, and he was afraid that he would not spend too much time trying to understand the family situation for the time being.
From the conversations of some slaves, he learned that this "predecessor" was Dumiao, whose father died in battle a few years ago, and his mother followed him in grief, leaving only one orphan in the family, that is, his grandmother.
"So ......" the old man thought about it for a while, and sighed: "The national war at the end of autumn is over. ”
"National War?" Lu Wu was taken aback and asked, "Want to fight?" ”
But I don't know that the national war is not necessarily a war, and the taxes that should be paid must be paid after the autumn harvest.
The elder of the family saluted Lu Wu and was going to report the good news to the old grandmother.
"Tell me clearly!" Lu Wu shouted at the back of the old man and said, "Who are you fighting with, and I'm going too?" ”
The family ran without a shadow.
The nobility of other countries did not know.
In the event of a war in the Jin Kingdom, a mobilization order would be issued, and even if the nobles were not called to the battlefield, the taxes given to the monarch would be temporarily increased.
This increase is not an increase if you want to increase it, it is a tax that needs to be paid in the coming year, and it will be taken out first.
...... coming year, you may be taxed for a longer period of time.
It's okay to do this once or twice, but it doesn't mean that you can collect taxes forever.
Not even the king.
At the same time, there is a limit, and each person who has been taxed in advance really does not have to pay the taxes that have already been paid.
Lu Wu's small family had been informed by the superior nobles that they needed to advance next year's taxes this year.
As for why the state wants to advance, the nobles of the upper level did not inform.
Of course, it is only easy to understand that "tax" is said, otherwise the Spring and Autumn monarch collects taxes from nobles, which is actually called "levy".
He had just crossed over, and half a month was not enough time for Lu Wu to take a breath, and then looked at his small body, and he was a little stunned when he heard that he would go to the battlefield.
He went to his grandmother's house, and when he entered, he saw that the old man was reporting something to his grandmother.
In view of the fact that after the grandmother should cry and laugh, the contact was more severe several times, and he stood at a distance and did not walk over at the first time.
After the old man finished speaking, he left again.
The old grandmother beckoned to Lu Wu, and when Lu Wu got closer, she said, "Wu, you ask the old family about the national war?" ”
Lu Wu nodded.
Lu Wu, who is bent on improving his quality of life first, is well aware of his family's current situation, and there are many plans still waiting to be implemented.
And again, war? He really didn't think that with his small body now, he could survive on the battlefield.
If you really want to go to the battlefield, can't you wait for him to recover from his body, or grow up?
The old grandmother sighed and said, "There is an abnormality in the Qin Kingdom, and Bai Di is also unusual, do you know?" ”
