Not only do you need to buy a female slave, but in fact, the old Lu family has too many things that need to be bought.

There is also a special need to buy a female slave.

For example, their age, whether they have given birth.

The best slave girls are those who have given birth, represent their good health, and have been tested.

If you are too young, or you are past the best age to give birth, you are generally considered inferior.

As for the people who dislike a woman who has already given birth? Not at all.

They will even be satisfied with the "intimacy" of the lord, and if a woman with a child is happy, they will jump with joy.

When Lu Wu first heard the above arguments from Lao Zhuo, he was stupid.

He didn't understand Spring and Autumn and wondered why he had such a concept.

However, they are all forced by reality.

In the era when medicine was not developed, women giving birth to children were similar to passing through the ghost gate, and the more the era went on, the more women died because of giving birth.

Now, even the nobility is not so particular about blood.

And because the aristocracy is a vested interest, they need to take the lead in many ways, including arranging for the remarriage of widows.

Some people may not believe it, but until the Song Dynasty, if the widow remarried, the government had to give a dowry and be a backer, so as not to let the widow marry and be bullied.

Wars are frequent, and a large number of men who are the main force on the battlefield have died, and once the widows observe the festival, there is an additional group that is difficult to create output, not to mention, how can the population increase?

Therefore, whoever encourages widows to keep festivals is simply having trouble with them.

Encouraging widows to observe festivals was advocated by Cheng Yi in the Northern Song Dynasty, but it was not the mainstream at that time.

It became popular in the Yuan Dynasty, became popular in the Ming Dynasty, and reached the extreme in "My Qing Dynasty".

As for why women should be encouraged to observe festivals, it is difficult to explain.

To put it bluntly, it is the Confucianism who holds the right to speak in the country, and their spine is broken.

Confucian lost his self-confidence as a man, and advocated it in order to cover up his incompetence and mistakes. (In any era, the small people have no right to speak)

Furthermore, as long as you are a scholar or a member of the Great Confucianism, the country is destroyed, and you can still be an official in the next dynasty, and the size of the population is related to national defense or something, and it is their business.

And why did "I Daqing" develop to the extreme? Hundreds of thousands of people, at most millions of people, ruling hundreds of millions, I wish there was no birth, and natural extinction is the most ideal.

Of course!

Encouraging a widow to remarry is not the same thing as not caring about the wife planting grass on her current husband's head.

Lü Wu was still recalling the situation of the various dynasties.

The ordered warriors and summoned subjects have gathered together.

Looking at the warriors in front of him, as well as the people who came, Lu Wu felt very relieved.

The old Lu family is really generous!

There used to be only one leather cart with a wheel missing.

Now I can put together three leather carts.

The number of samurai was increased to eighty after the selection of Lyu Wu.

Of course, the lord has the right to select samurai, but it also means that the lord has lost a group of taxpayers.

What the samurai had to pay was not a "tax", they had to pay a "fu".

To put it simply, they just have to work hard.

For example, being called up to work as an errand boy or joining the army as a soldier.

Of course, Lu Wu would not take all the warriors of the family away, only thirty were summoned, and the rest of the warriors needed to stay behind to ensure the safety of the territory, mainly to take care of the Hu slaves.

The subjects came one hundred and ten, and they knew that the lord was going to buy slaves.

It is rumored that the lord was worried about the single subjects and wanted to purchase a group of female slaves, and they were willing to follow one by one.

This time, Lu Wu did not carry the goods to be sold, but brought all the cars that the family could take away.

There were two wooden boxes on one of the carts, and inside were neatly stacked shovel coins.

At the same time, the car was piled with some cloth and covered with cover.

The other car was specially loaded with cloth, which was also covered.

There are also three in the convoy dedicated to various types of food. They can be used as currency and ensure that the party does not go hungry.

It's just that there's a car that carries cooking utensils, and it's really a bit of that.

Shovel coins, cloth, and grain are actually the same currencies, which means that there are not many assets carried by Lu Wu.

In order to increase security, Lu Wuke made preparations in advance.

"Shooter, take a step forward."

The samurai came out five.

The subjects hesitated, and thirty-seven came forward.

The proportion of samurai who are good at shooting is even less than that of their subjects?

There's nothing unusual about this.

Unless the samurai are dedicated to the archer route, they will spend more time on the body and training their main battle weapons.

The subjects can go hunting when they have nothing to do, they have a lot of time to do in a year, they don't know professional melee fighting skills, in fact, they don't have the money to make weapons (copper), and it is relatively simple to make a bow by themselves, but the quality of the arrows is destined to be worrying.

Lu Wu lifted a large cloth at his feet.

Bows and pots of quivers were revealed.

The materials used in the bows are not consistent, some are made of oak wood, some are made of oak wood or oak wood, and there is not a single bamboo bow.

It's not that Lu Wu dislikes bamboo bows, it's that there are no bamboo forests in his territory.

Let the subjects complete the test firing in turn.

Lü Wu chose fifteen people as archers.

Whether it was a samurai or a subject, they were a little stunned when they saw the arrow so straight.

Lu Wu, who needed to explain and explain every time he spoke, really lost his desire to speak for a few months unless necessary.

Interpreting the words of a retainer is a matter of mutual respect.

With the samurai and the subjects, there is no need to save some saliva.

He arranged the distribution of the team, and with a wave of his hand, the team started with a chariot and set off.

Lü Cheng is in the northeast of the old Lu family.

Huocheng is in the southwest of Lao Lu's house.

Whether you go to Lucheng or Huocheng, the same thing is that there is no ready-made road, and all of them need to go to the wilderness.

He had thought about whether to build a road outward, but he was only thinking about it.

It's not that I don't want to do it, the main thing is that I can't afford it.

And then there's a very important question!

Lu Wu only has power in his own fiefdom, and if he does something, he is either infringing on the rights and interests of other nobles, or infringing on the rights and interests of the monarch.

Therefore, even if Lu Wu had the ability to build roads, he should have obtained the permission of the rest of the nobles or monarchs.

They try to choose flat terrain to the southwest, and some woods and mountains can be avoided without trying to avoid them.

When encountering woods and mountains, the samurai get nervous.

Nothing happened a few times, which made Lu Wu feel somewhat inexplicable about the nervousness of the warriors, and each time he asked for instructions to send someone in to search first.

He was very compelled and did not issue superfluous instructions, and listened to opinions with good flow.

The samurai's caution also proved to be justified.

For example, this time when the woods blocked the way, the samurai who went in to investigate came out to report that there were people in the woods, and there were quite a few of them.

"Lord, the men here (referring to many) know that we are coming. Preparing for war. ”

Lu Wu blinked when he heard this.

Is this someone going to ambush them?
