Chapter 17: I Don't Want to Be a Noble Person!

"Foot, this matter ......"

Liang Yu didn't know what was going on, he just thought that his daughter-in-law had done something that made Lu Wu unhappy.

If it is a big noble, if his own female concubine makes the guests unhappy, he must let the samurai come in and take away the female concubine with a wave of his hand.

As for whether to pull it out to fight, or to pull it out and kill it, it depends on the mood of the master.

Liang looks very rich? This can be seen from the group of female slaves and this group of female concubines.

Productivity is extremely low nowadays, and any labor force is precious.

Adult men and women are the main labor force, and children have to help work after they are sensible, and the elderly are not idle.

If you are not rich, who will train a woman who will serve people?

They need to be bought and brought in professionals to teach them over a long period of time.

People who know how to teach professional service skills really can't be invited if they want to, and the price is still very high.

During this time, they are unable to produce anything; Even after completing their studies, they are not allowed to do farm work anymore, or if they make their hands rough, how can they serve people?

Besides, how beautiful can a woman who has been doing farm work for a long time be in the wind and sun?

Dedicated to serving people, not only do they not have to participate in farm work, but they also have to figure out how to dress themselves.

And it takes a lot of money to dress up.

Therefore, if there is not enough financial resources as support (foundation), which family will raise such a person if it is sick?

Of course, it was impossible for Liang Xi to let the samurai come over and pull these female concubines down and kill them.

The main reason is that the Liang family is reluctant to kill, otherwise it will cost money to cultivate another batch.

In the face of Liang Xi's questioning, Lu Wu couldn't say that he was too stable.

Liang Lu saw that Lu Wu was sitting upright and did not speak, waved his hand to let the female concubine go down, waited for the slave who followed to move to sit in Pu, knelt down in front of Lu Wu, and said: "Liang Lu is a close neighbor, and he didn't move much in the past......"

Liang Zhu, who started an awkward conversation, chose to forget what happened just now, as if it had never happened.

At this time, Cheng Ying snorted lightly, and when Liang Zhu looked over, his gaze became very sharp, and he looked directly at Liang Zhu.

"Huh? Ha ha! Liang Yi smiled awkwardly, but he didn't mention what happened just now, looked at Lu Wu again, and asked, "Does the Lu family need a black stone?" ”

In order to hide his embarrassment, Lu Wu nodded lightly with an expressionless face.

"That's it......" Liang Zhu pulled a long tone, turned his head to look at Cheng Ying, and saw that he had turned into angry eyes at him, looked at Lu Wu again, and said, "What he needs, he has it." This estimate is high, but now it is cheap. ”

I don't know what black stone is for, but it's mine, and someone wants to sell it at a high price.

Now I don't know why I upset you, so I have to sell it to you cheaply.

Liang Ji turned his head to look at Cheng Ying again, and saw that Cheng Ying had closed his eyes and sat down.

"With such a good minister at your feet, why not be happy?" Liang Ji did not hide his envy, and said: "The strength of the attached soldier, what are you worried about?" ”

There are good ministers who can assist the family, and they will not worry about prosperity.

The samurai under his command looked good at fighting and were not afraid of not being able to achieve military merits.

Lu Wu didn't know what the situation was now.

Liang Yi admitted it, but he was a little emotional.

Otherwise, in front of Lu Wu, Liang Xi envied such a retainer and praised the samurai's rank, which was very inappropriate.

Lu Wu listened with a smile, but he just didn't give a talk.

It is estimated that after venting his little emotions, Liang Xi changed the topic and talked about the Hu people in the north.

In and out of the words, Hu people are easy to bully, and they feel embarrassed not to bully.

Then, he asked Lu Wu if he was interested in forming a team to make trouble.

Regarding this, Lu Wu lacked understanding of the Hu people in the north, so no one would mention it, and he wanted to make trouble.

Besides, he actually didn't understand what Liang Zhu's situation was, it was just the first time they met, why did he think about teaming up?

"Yes." Cheng Ying didn't open his eyes and said: "The north of Xinjiang is all disabled, and it can be levied." ”

Liang Qi immediately looked at Lu Wu with expectant eyes.

Cheng Ying is not Lu Wu's retainer, he is just a guest house.

Lu Wu liked Cheng Ying's tacit understanding just now, but it didn't mean that whatever Cheng Ying said was what it was, and said to Liang Yu: "Let me think about it." ”

Liang Ji no longer brought up the topic of doing things together, and turned to business matters.

He said that the Liang family's grain output was very sufficient, and there was a long and stable trade with several surrounding families, and asked Lu Wu if he wanted to buy grain from the Liang family as well.

Lu Wu agreed to this very directly.

Last time, the Liang family only paid a small amount of currency and cloth, and most of it was grain.

The old Lu family has agreed that the Liang family will come as a second-tier dealer of pottery, and the only thing that has changed is that the payment will be paid in the future to collect grain.

And whether it is grain or cloth, it is actually money, and when the year is bad, it is even better than money.

When Lu Wu heard Liang Xi ask if he wanted a slave, he instantly came to the spirit.

The Jin State is the overlord of the Central Plains, and often takes a group of younger brothers (subject countries) out, mainly to fight with the self-proclaimed barbarian Chu State, and from time to time it is also necessary to slap a few disobedient younger brothers around it.

If there is a war, there will be prisoners, and then there will be compensation from the defeated countries, and this is how the channels for slaves generally come.

It's just that the slaves in the hands of the state will basically be eaten and wiped clean by the big nobles, and even if there are some crooked melons and cracked dates, the small nobles can only buy them if they need them.

Seeing that Lu Wu was very interested, Liang Qi greeted his retainers, and after a short while, he took Lu Wu out of the manor.

They came to a valley surrounded by two mountain walls.

The entrances and exits here were fenced and a large number of samurai were placed.

Inside, there is a fence wall, and in each circle there are people with their hands and feet tied.

Looking at the costumes, the vast majority of them are the so-called Hu people, and a small number are wearing Chinese clothes.

Lu Wu walked around, ostensibly selling Liang Xi in and out of his left ear and right ear, and even showed a disgusted expression.

Even if he doesn't understand the knowledge of the Spring and Autumn Period, he knows that buying Hu Ren is an extremely loss-making business.

Because the Hu people don't know how to farm, it's hard to teach no matter how they teach.

And the flower growers bought slaves basically to increase the number of people who farmed the land.

Why did Lu Wu make a gesture of disgust? It shows that he actually wants to buy it.

Of course, the old Lu family also needs to farm, but the scope of the feud is limited, and there is not much land that can open up new farmland.

However, he did not plan to take the route of a big landlord, or he would be blind to the accumulation of knowledge that was 2,600 years ahead of this era.

Liang Yi just looked at Lu Wu's youth, thinking that he would be easy to deceive. is so hard to sell, but Lu Wu does not hide his dislike at all, how can he continue to perform to his heart's content?

And just when he returned to the manor with Lu Wu and was extremely disappointed, Lu Wu spoke.

"This time, there are many mistakes in the next place." Lu Wu asked the warrior to bring a box made of rattan, personally opened the box, pointed to the bronze armor inside, and said, "This gift, youya." ”

Let this armor be a gift for our friendship.

Then, after you receive it, what should you give in return?

For a moment, Liang Zhu's eyes couldn't leave the armor, and he greedily watched every detail of the armor, but his heart struggled incomparably.

In fact, this is also Lu Wu's miscalculation of the value of the armor.

Even if it is a piece of armor that is not so useful in the first place, it is really not something that a small nobleman can afford until he finds out that it is not useful.

Liang is pretending, thick-skinned, and cunning.

But he is also a nobleman in the Chinese cultural circle.

When a nobleman receives a gift from a guest who comes to visit for the first time, he must at least return a gift of equal value, otherwise it should be a shame for the nobleman.
