Chapter 90: The King's Call

In fact, Lu Wu is playing a business simulation game with the construction of a fiefdom.

As a modern person, especially a cute boy, most of them have been exposed to management simulation games, right?

The difference is that he can't always have real-time data at his fingertips.

It can even be said that the data obtained is not necessarily correct.

However, as long as the data is not exaggerated, it generally has little impact.

Unlocking a new idea, he gets stuck in a strange loop.

First of all, you need to find out how many types of fruit trees you can find, how many cycles it takes to transplant and plant, and what kind of fruit is suitable for winemaking.

Because he was rushing to make wine, he needed to understand the steps of winemaking on the one hand.

Lu Wu doesn't know everything.

In fact, he doesn't need to know everything, he only needs to find relevant talents, and a project can be established.

There is also a very realistic thing, the stall that the old Lu family is spreading out now is too big, and there needs to be a priority.

Therefore, if you are looking for fruit trees to transplant or plant, you have to wait until the arable land in the plan is cleared first.

While dealing with affairs, Lu Wu discovered a rather magical thing.

It turned out that in addition to the discovery of copper ore by local families, they also needed to send it to the monarch when they collected wax.

He wondered why the monarch had collected such things as wax, thinking that he was here to make candles.

Fortunately, he didn't ask, and once he asked if he was making candles, it should have become a joke in the aristocratic world.

Of course, wax can be used to make candles, but now wax is a strategic resource, and it is indispensable in the production of some bronzes.

In the early Spring and Autumn Period, it was a great demonstration of national strength to be able to make a large enough tripod.

The reason is that all countries have mastered bronze technology, but only if the territory is large enough can enough wax be collected.

Lu Wu also has a new brain hole, the process of making bronzes requires a large amount of wax, thinking about whether to breed bees?

Miscellaneous ideas were quickly thrown aside, and in addition to the fact that cultivating land was the top priority, there was new news from Xintian.

The new monarch of the Jin State still made an alliance with the Qin State, and the time was set for this year.

In this way, both the new army and the lower army need to be contributed.

At the same time, according to some sources, the monarch would recruit various nobles close to the Qin state.

It is equivalent to saying that even if they are not classified into the new army and the lower army, the surrounding nobles still need to serve.

It was probably the eighth day after the old Lu family heard the news from Xintian himself, and a conscription order from the lower army general Han Ju was sent over.

It is clearly written in the document that Lü Wu needs to bring the chariots and soldiers that meet the requirements on the fifteenth day after the end of spring ploughing, and go to "Jiaogang" to be included in the lower army system.

Lu Wu specially went to find Wei Xiang, who was still on vacation at the old Lu family, and mentioned the matter of the alliance.

Wei once again expressed a pessimistic view of the alliance with Qin.

It's definitely not just Wei Xiang who thinks that the Qin people have no reputation, but the matter of the alliance has already been decided.

Lu Wu and Wei Xiang ate and drank and continued to be busy with their own affairs.

The bricks in the mountains have been moved, just because there are so many things that need to be done, and the construction of the new house has not yet begun.

According to Lü Wu's plan, the construction of the new house needs to wait for the end of spring ploughing.

The conscription order arrives, causing his plan to change again.

After all, no one could have predicted what would happen to the alliance this time, perhaps in a friendly atmosphere, the will for peace was reached; Maybe there is a disagreement, and the two armies will go to war directly.

No matter which one it is, Lu Wu went to pay the endowment, which means that he will not be able to stay in the fiefdom again in the summer of this year.

He needed to draw the blueprint of the new house as soon as possible, and then hand it over to Zhuo to supervise the construction.

Residential design drawings can actually be drawn without a little professionalism, but they can't be compared with professionals.

Roughly divide the layout, how many rooms are needed, how big each room is, and anyone with a little painting skills can do it, especially if it is only a one-story building, and it is not necessary to build a floor.

Lü Wu chose the site for the construction of the residence, which will become the central location of the new city in the future.

He deliberately left some empty plots of land, intending to wait for his own return and personally supervise the construction of some attics.

With this one thing done, he began to count how many weapons and armor he had built before.

In view of the samurai's feedback that the tomahawk is very useful, it is also possible to use ordinary pig iron to create the tomahawk, at most the blade part is specially handled.

The axes created by the old Lu family are not few.

In terms of armor, the full set of metal armor is only one set of Lu Wu.

This time it was a complete set of armor, that is, in addition to the main torso, helmets, shoulder pads, arm pads, wrist pads, leg guards, skirt armor...... All of them are tie-nail styles.

Because Lu Wu wanted to use it himself, he must have deliberately selected it, and the material used was primary steel.

And steel, despite the mastery of manufacturing technology, has not been able to increase the number of finished products.

So, to mass-produce something with steel, don't even mention it.

The rest of the armor is a cuirass style, that is, in addition to the iron armor on the chest, the rest of the matching is leather armor.

A total of seventy pairs of cuirasses were created, plus the previous ones, and when the time came, Lu Wu would assign them to his personal guards.

As for weapons, with the exception of axes and some arrows that use iron, the main melee weapons are actually bronze weapons.

Lu Wu didn't plan to bring the 1,500 soldiers with him this time.

The old Lu family even counted more than 2,000 temporary lords armed, and after taking away 1,500 warriors at once, the old nest was completely empty.

He only planned to take with him five hundred samurai, and the chariots were twenty as needed.

At the same time, he also needs to arrange the scope of duties of the various retainers as soon as possible.

Song Bin will stay in the fiefdom this time, take over the military command of the family, and take on the heavy responsibility of guarding the family.

Of course, Yu Xian also stayed and continued to do the task he didn't finish.

This time, Lu Wu chose to take Wei Rui and a retainer named Liang Xing.

Xing from Liangdi, his main skill is to eat, drink and be merry.

Don't think that eating, drinking, and having fun is not a skill, and with a mouth that can speak, you can do more things.

The socialization between the old Lu family and the surrounding nobles is Liang Xing in charge.

Because he spends most of his time running outside, his presence is insufficient.

Samurai, weapons, and armor need attention, and even more attention is paid to the supplies they carry.

Lu Wu attaches great importance to logistics far beyond imagination.

In fact, he doesn't know much about the way of battle formations, but he likes to ponder and think, and is in the stage of adaptation and learning.

If you don't understand war, you won't even understand that logistics can ensure morale, right?

Lu Wu, who had always been very stable, knew that the samurai and the conscripted subjects would bring their own food and supplies as needed, but he still prepared enough food and straw for the whole team for two months and necessary backup weapons, and inevitably brought enough winter clothes.

In the last battle of Huo, those people who didn't bring winter clothes were frozen into dogs, which was quite memorable to Lu Wu.

Wei Xiang, who personally witnessed Lu Wu's preparations, looked at it for a series and thought about everything about Lu Wu, and the impression that he was too cautious was lingering.
