Under the leadership of Qin Huangong, the Qin people are making their path narrower and narrower.

They seem to have been fighting an unregulated war with Xirong for too long, and have forgotten the etiquette and etiquette, and have used the means of dealing with Xirong on the Jin State in the Chinese cultural circle.

At the beginning of Qin's revisit, the countries of the Chinese cultural circle did not understand the rules of Qin's behavior, and responded to Qin's invitation to meet the alliance several times.

Gradually, the nations saw clearly that the Qin State was ignoring etiquette, and they still had to rely on that set of rules to protect themselves, how dare they get close to the Qin State again!

Now there are almost no countries willing to be friends with the Qin State, but the Chu State is very optimistic about the new little brother of the Qin State.

It's just that the Chu people are also puzzled.

They always feel that they have not paid enough attention to etiquette and rules, and it is understandable that they do not pay attention to the Zhou royal family.

After all, the state of Chu is not a country divided by the Zhou royal family, and it has its own set of rules and regulations, including the state system, etc.

The Chu people used to think that only the state of Wu was obedient in the "whole world", but they were surprised and amused to see that the state of Qin seemed to be more horizontal than the state of Wu.

In fact, the state of Chu knew that the state of Wu was a country that the state of Jin wanted to cultivate to make it uncomfortable for themselves, and they very much needed a country that could challenge the state of Jin, and the state of Qin jumped out at this time.

After they came into contact, the Chu people habitually used slow motion to analyze, and after analyzing for several years, they still did not come up with a set of plans on how to cultivate the Qin State.

Like this time, the state of Chu has already sensed that the state of Jin is going to teach the state of Qin a hard lesson, and it is very clear that it needs to help the state of Qin.

The opinion of the state of Chu to help the state of Qin is unified.

Then, the old mistake of the Chu people was committed again, they knew that they should support the Qin state, that is, they were constantly arguing on how to support it, and they didn't know when they would be able to come up with a measure that could be implemented.

In terms of national affairs, Lu Wu could not learn much information, let alone mention the movements of the world.

It's snowy again.

Lu Wu always felt a sense of unreality.

Three years have passed in a trance, and he has changed from a fourteen-year-old immature boy to a mature seventeen-year-old teenager.

Crucially, at the age of seventeen, he had a two-year-old son and a daughter of the same age, as well as two sons who were less than a year old.

That's right, Han Yan and Zhao Xin gave birth to two more sons to Lu Wu successively.

When the two ladies were about to give birth, Lu Wu was not at home, and he was halfway south to Zheng Guo at that time.

Lü Wu became the father of four children.

Because no matter how many children there are in an aristocratic family, there is only one mother, Zhao? She became a mother of four.

In snowy weather, although Lu Wu still has a lot of things to do, he will try to squeeze out time to spend with his family.

Now, he's holding one in one hand, his two one-year-old sons are clutching at his clothes, and the other two-year-old is scurrying around the house.

Zhao? and the rest of the slave ladies, who tinkered with the loom on the side.

In addition to the laughter of children, the room was more filled with the sound of looms clattering wood and the occasional "crunch" of a shuttle.

The old Lu family has a kind of hemp.

In fact, if you can grow it, every family will grow hemp.

In addition, Lao Lu's family also planted mulberry trees and planned to raise silkworms on a large scale.

Lu Wu had the heart to toss the loom, and after thinking about it for a while, he admitted that he was really not omnipotent, and he couldn't come up with a new pattern of loom.

He is a nobleman, it doesn't matter if he doesn't understand it, if he has an idea, he can issue an order downwards and collect it in the form of a reward.

The wisdom of the masses has always been unlimited, and as long as there are enough interests to drive it, sooner or later it will be fruitful.

"Lord, it's time to feed."

Lu Wu turned his head and saw the nurse.

These two nurses are really milky, and they are full of milk at a glance.

They carefully carried the child from Lu Wu's hands and hid in another room to breastfeed.

Lu Wu saw Lu Yang chasing the maid with a wooden sword, and saw Lu Yi playing with twine, so he comfortably picked up the teapot next to him and poured it "gurgling", picked up the bamboo slip and looked at it.

Before the snow season came, the northern and northwest frontiers of the Jin Kingdom were very lively.

Bai Di was defeated again and again, and it was not until the snow fell that it stopped.

Lü Wu learned from Wei Jiang's letter that the Wei clan liked to fight enemies like Bai Di.

After several battles, Wei made a lot of horses, cattle, and sheep, and captured a lot of prisoners of war.

He wrote back to Wei Jiang and asked if the captives were sold.

The old Lu family has begun to expand the smelting industry, and the Di people don't know how to farm and some technical work, so they can buy it and go to mining.

The Jin State dealt with Bai Di's invasion with ease, but it was not at all easy with the small and medium-sized invasion of the Qin State.

Huo Qian, who was already attached, would send his retainers to inform Lu Wu if he had any actions.

In just two or three months, Huo Qian was called back and forth four times.

The nobles of the "Huo" land, they were recruited to deal with the invasion of the Qin army, recaptured the "Caisang" captured by the Qin army's sneak attack, and fought several times along the river.

The old Huo family was tossed a lot.

Lü Wu did not have the manpower to support him, and he provided Huo Qian with a batch of grain and baggage in the form of loans.

Even with Lu Wu's support, Huo Qian still complained repeatedly.

The situation was already bad, and it was tossed repeatedly.

They have to repetition the enlistment, the fiefdom is difficult to produce normally, they have not received any compensation, and they can't support it no matter how much they have a family fund, not to mention that they don't have any reserves in the first place.

The key thing is that neither the monarch nor the state supported the frontier aristocracy.

Lu Wu has already seen the fate of most of the nobles in the "Huo" land, and there will definitely be many nobles who will go bankrupt in recent years.

What he was thinking about was, should the old Lu family take the opportunity to make a fortune?

Of course, land cannot be obtained, but it can attract bankrupt nobles to bring samurai and subjects to defect!

It's just that he also knows that he can have such thoughts, and the rest of the nobles are not cerebral palsy, but all the powerful nobles must have similar ideas, but I don't know if there will be big nobles entering the market.

When Lu Wu's soul was wandering outside the world, Liang Xing came to the corridor outside the house.

This talent, who is extremely good at eating, drinking, and having fun, knelt down in front of Lu Wu, saluted, and said, "Lord, Handan Zhao sent his retainers here. ”

Zhao, who was originally weaving? and Zhao Xin looked at it at the same time.

Zhao Xin's face was full of nervousness, and he almost caught his hand.

Lu Wu noticed the movement behind him, turned his head to look over, smiled at Zhao Xin, looked at Liang Xing again, and asked, "Do you need me to go to greet you?" ”

Liang Xing knew that Handan Zhao would not be in the limelight for long, but he said very seriously: "Lord, he is a minister of the Qing family." ”

In the Jin Kingdom, a "qing" is the boss, and the boss's retainers naturally can't be lazy.

Lu Wu slowly stood up and motioned to the ladies not to move.

He walked to the side room, and naturally the maid who was signaled would come over to help change his clothes.

Dressed in formal attire and fur furs, he summoned the samurai who accompanied him, stepped out of the door and stepped into the chariot, and the group headed for the pavilion to which they had been sent.

In this age of etiquette, it is necessary to be very particular about greeting guests.

It can only be solemn and not slack, or the guests feel that they have been insulted, and the follow-up will be very strange.

Formal dressing to greet guests is a minimum of respect, and a few laughs before meeting is a sign of friendliness.

Lu Wu came over and saw Zhao Zhan's retainer Du Hui, so he laughed a few times first, approached and waited for the other party to salute first, and then returned the salute himself.

After a set of etiquette procedures, he asked, "Why did you come here in the snow?" ”

Du Hui's face was very calm, and he said, "I have to come." ”

Lu Wu glanced at the team and was glad that he didn't see the figure of the noble girl.

The change of the position of secretary of Jin is inevitable, all because Zhao Zhan does not have the strength to continue to hold the position of secretary.

Zhao Zhan knew that he was going to step down, what he could do was to accept the reality calmly, handle all the affairs, and then pack up his things and bring his family and servants, and honestly go back to the fiefdom of Handan.

Last year, Zhao Zhan had an exchange with Lu Wu.

The Handan clan will remarry their daughters.

This is Zhao Zhan's re-examination of Lü Wu, acknowledging the rise of Lü Wu, and making amends in line with the status class.

To put it bluntly, it's actually an additional investment.

Lü Wu invited Du back to the same car.

And they headed for a manor.

It's still the same manor built halfway up the mountain.

In snowy weather, the manor is halfway up the hill with a more beautiful view than usual, making it a great place to entertain guests.

When talking about business, you should enter the room, and then match the hospitality specifications that meet the needs of the guests.

After they were seated, the maids brought a variety of things, including a pot of hot broth.

The meat is mutton, lacking the relationship between the corresponding medicinal materials, and the smell is full of fishy, but it is a very high hospitality.

"My lord is already taking care of the aftermath." Du Hui drank a bowl of soup, sat down again and began to talk about business, and said, "What do you need to ask Yin Zi on behalf of my lord in the next place?" ”

Lu Wu knew that the so-called "dealing with the aftermath" did not mean that Zhao Zhan was going to die.

Is this the power that needs to be used well before it expires and is invalidated?

It's just that Zhao Zhan is so "powerful", which makes Lu Wu hesitate.

The resignation of a "Qing" will not be simple, and without a bloody struggle, choosing to step down peacefully is Zhao Zhan's biggest bargaining chip.

The rest of the "Qing" saw that Zhao Zhan knew each other like this, and no matter how unhappy they were, they would choose to open the door of convenience.

Of course, what Zhao Zhan wants to obtain, or what he wants to achieve, there is no such thing as taking it for nothing.

Lu Wu rummaged through the list in his mind, he wanted a lot of things, but he really felt hesitant.

No benefit in the world is in vain, now or in the future.

The more Zhao Zhan helped, the more affection Lu Wu owed.

Handan Zhao is destined to be a marginal family for a long time to come.

The most important thing is that Handan Zhao has not yet reached an understanding with the restored Zhao clan.

According to the current universal rules, how much help Lu Wu received from Zhao Zhan, he would only have to repay more in the future when Handan Zhao needed it.

By the way, you can also learn from He's.

We can't afford it!

Otherwise, you'd better die as a benefactor.

Lu Wu thought, "Zhao Wu......, or how did the Zhao clan master treat Handan Zhao?" Or, will Handan Zhao have any disasters in the future? ”
