Chapter 73: A New Monarch, a New Atmosphere
Ji Ji's nickname was determined after discussion.
He is a duke, the monarch of the Jin Kingdom, and when he got the nickname "Jing", he became the Duke of Jin Jing.
The Jin State lost its status as a hegemon in his hands, but he could still get the nickname of "Jing".
According to the definition of Chinese civilization, the nickname "Jing" is a praise and praise.
Whatever the reason, the monarch actually earned it.
Ji Shouman ascended the throne and became the new monarch of the Jin Kingdom.
The first monarch's order he issued did not have any accidents, and it was related to the funeral of Jin Jinggong.
The second monarch's order is a bit interesting.
Ignoring the opposition of several ministers, he thought that relations with Qin should be eased, and even felt that relations with other countries should be good.
The opposing secretary refused to carry out the order.
However, he is unrelenting, and while sticking to his own opinions, some of his behaviors are quite rough.
Later, Luan Shu talked to the rest of the Qing.
Luan Shu has no other words, only that as soon as the monarch takes office, willfulness will let the monarch be willful.
He told the secretaries that only when the monarch encounters a setback will he know how naïve he is, and for the sake of a longer future, everyone should bear with it.
It is equivalent to saying that most of the secretaries of the Jin State, including Luan Shu, are not optimistic about repairing relations with the Qin State at all.
As for good relations with the rest of the nations?
The Jin State was already trying to make a truce with the Chu State last year, and will carry out this established national policy.
Dealing with the surrounding countries, the secretaries only knew that Huairou was useless, but would let the countries know the weakness of the Jin Kingdom.
The point is that the new monarch can't see the situation clearly and can't communicate.
In this way, they can only reluctantly agree with Luan Shu's harmony, hoping that the monarch can see himself clearly after encountering setbacks and stop commanding blindly.
How else could it be?
The only thing left is to change the path of another monarch.
At this stage, no Qing would be stupid enough to kill the king.
Therefore, the big guy is no longer willing, so he can only barely get by.
Lü Wu, who always paid attention to the situation, regarded Zhao Wu's return to the old Lü family as the beginning of a new chapter in the Jin Kingdom.
The family business has been laid out in a matter of months, and all that remains is to proceed step by step.
I don't know if Lu Wu is strong or the "land" is too fertile, Zhao Yu and Han Yan found out that they were pregnant.
This is a big deal for the old Lu family!
Lü Wu rewarded the warriors and subjects as usual, and took the opportunity to free a hundred slaves.
In fact, after the spring ploughing is over, he should follow the oath.
It's just that that time was peculiar, and it wasn't the time to free the slaves.
The slave waited but there was no news, thinking that Lu Wu was really a fool.
The vigilance of the old Lu family is too strong and strict, and the slaves are not chaotic, but they are not working hard.
This time, a hundred slaves were regained their freedom.
Lu Wu didn't make things very grand, and in fact, he didn't dare to make a big show.
But he doesn't do nothing.
These freed men were deliberately placed to wander around in front of the rest of the slaves, and even their families arranged a place to live and cultivate their fields.
Although it was a little late, Lu Wu had not chosen a specific time before, and the old Lu family faithfully abided by the oath.
Those who regained their freedom, how hard they had worked before, were also seen by the rest of the slaves.
The group of people who are still slaves recognize Lu Wu's credit, and they have hope, and they naturally know what to do if they have an example.
Zhao Yu and Han Yan are pregnant, although they don't know if it's a man or a woman, Lu Wu has unlocked new achievements to some extent.
The old Lu family before was such a lone seedling as Lu Wu, no matter from which point of view, no matter how capable he was, he would make the whole group lack something.
Huaxia questioning pays attention to the connection between the previous and the next, and is the inheritance and continuation.
Lü Wu fulfilled one of his responsibilities as the head of the family, and accepted congratulations from his retainers, samurai, and subjects.
One thing he wanted to do before but couldn't do can be considered to be on the agenda.
When he first moved to the "Yin" land, didn't a group of warriors, accompanied by Lao Liang's family, go to the territory of the Hu people in the north to conduct reconnaissance?
There has always been information that has been sent to Lu Wu one after another.
Liang Xi talked a lot about things over there, but his intelligence was already backward as the Wei family's army entered and raged.
All the information that Lu Wu got was reconnaissance from his own samurai, and there would only be omissions, but it was the most credible, and the news was the latest.
The construction of the fiefdom came according to the plan.
All he, the head of the family, can do is supervise, without too much interference.
With Zhao Yu and Han Yan confirmed to be pregnant, the entire Lao Lu family burst out with higher enthusiasm for construction, including those retainers.
"The Lord desires the North?" Song Bin was summoned over, and when he saw that several colleagues were also there, he heard Lu Wu start the topic, thought about it for a while, took the lead in expressing his opinion, and said very simply: "But also!" ”
Lu Wu summoned his retainers over not simply to deploy a task.
As a nobleman, he used to be at the level of a "scholar", and he didn't pay much attention to it if there were few retainers.
Now although Lu Wu is a doctor, don't take down the doctor and not be a doctor.
The "system" of the old Lu family should be more formal.
He first explained his plans and listened to the opinions of his retainers.
It was also an opportunity for him to observe the tendencies of his retainers and to choose which retainer would hold what position in the family.
In the past, Zhuo was the only retainer of the old Lu family, and he became the old man (the first retainer).
Lü Wu made a new appointment.
Although Yu Xian didn't know how long he would stay, his ability was obvious to all, and he was appointed as the elder of the family.
Precisely because Yu Xian would not stay long, his appointment was not contested by his retainers.
Song Bin was very active and had a desire for the management of the family's armed forces, and he also became a family martial artist (instructor) as he wished.
If Lü Wu was not in the fiefdom, Song Bin would automatically become the commander of the family's armed forces.
In normal times, Lu Wu does not go out in person, and the first person to lead the troops will be Song Bin.
Wei Rui prefers to be in charge of the family's social affairs, and is satisfied with the appointment of the advisor.
The rest of the retainers were given positions that suited them.
After Lu Wu was appointed, he still needed to convene managers at all levels and go through the appointment process again cautiously.
In fact, this is part of the "rites", that is, the granting of rights, in front of the eyes of the public, is easy to supervise. (Do not engage in private teaching)
After solving the internal problems of the family, Lü Wu began to prepare for the expedition.
He didn't need to tell anyone if he wanted to go on the expedition, he only needed to get the permission of the nobles along the way. (By transit)
There are many things that need to be prepared for the expedition, and outsiders can notice it, and the internal information cannot be concealed at all.
Qi Wen took Zhao Wu to find Lu Wu and expressed his willingness to accompany him.
Lu Wu had already sent people to invite the surrounding nobles, and adding another Zhao Wu was nothing.
And the reason why he invited the surrounding nobles was nothing more than a part of social interaction under the premise of the border of the fiefdom.
Express that preparing for war is not about fighting neighbors, you can be prepared for defense.
Love doesn't come to think for itself.
Tell you, I'm not afraid that I'll leave at all, you'll steal the house.
Generally speaking, the current situation is still very tense, and the nerves of an aristocrat are tense.
They learned of Lü Wu's actions and knew Lü Wu's close relationship with the Han, Wei, and Zhao clans, and even had a friendship with the Zhongxing clan.
The above alone requires them to think about it.
They also heard that as long as there was a nobleman in the vicinity, they received an invitation, and pondered for a while......
Why don't I get involved?
