Lord, as the name suggests, is the owner of the territory. In the ancient land of Zhongzhou, it is unknown when there was the first lord, since King Wuying divided the world, the eight hundred princes are all lords. In the same way, when the princes fought against Dongyi, Nanban, Xirong, and Beidi, the territory of the vassal states was constantly expanding, and it was difficult to manage by the lord alone, so they made their respective retainers and heirs as lords, and patrolled the borders on behalf of the princes, and this was the vassal.

In a word, the difference between a vassal and a vassal is only the size of the territory. And in their respective territories, the lord has supreme authority, even his feudal lord and feudal king have no right to interfere, this is the hereditary noble lord. Although Yu Lie was only a second-class baron, in that barren territory, he was a well-deserved uncrowned king.

Luoyi is eighty miles away from Yanjing, and the hour is approaching, but Yu Lie is walking very slowly, because he is not the only lord who has returned in triumph, in that endless pear blossom road, the long and huge sea of iron armor is slowly rolling, and it will not disperse in all directions until the fork in front.

Just as King Jingtai needs to rely on the power of the princes, the princes must also rely on the power of the vassals when they go on the expedition, and the princes and vassals must not disobey at least nominally, otherwise they will be attacked by the crowd of the world.

This is the inseparable relationship between the royal family, the princes, and the vassals, and it is also where the heavenly principle lies. No one will doubt it, because King Wuying is a great king, he obtained the Outer Heaven Divine Iron from the Great God of Haotian, cast nine Great Dingding Ding Ding Tian, and promulgated the law of the Great God of Haotian, if he violates the law of God, it will be worse than death. It is like the traitor who killed the king and claimed the title of marquis, not only was his head cut off by Yonggong, his headless body was hung in the scorching sun for forty-nine days, but his heirs and retainers were all reduced to slaves, and they could not be detached from life to life.

After turning over a mountain beam, out of the twenty-mile pear flower road, the front of the eyes suddenly vast, the ocean of black torrents surging in all directions. Yu Lie quickened his speed and led three hundred retainers and warriors to Luoyi, and after three years, although the territory was extremely barren, it often appeared in his dreams. The lord's love for the territory is a matter of course engraved into his bones.

The black whirlwind swept forward, and the great firebird flew high in the sky. In the distance, the laughter of children, the earnest shouts of women, they stood on the ridges to greet their husbands and fathers returning from the expedition, and a group of black-armored soldiers responded to them, driving chariots and galloping horses, flocking to their homeland, perhaps, as soon as they returned home, they would take off their cold iron armor and enjoy the long-awaited stability.

A burly armorer stood on a small dirt slope, the spring breeze shaking his tattered big man, but he was waving at Yu Lie, who was the lord of this place and Yu Lie's best friend in the army, and they were born and died together, giving their backs to each other.

"Yu Lie, come and taste the wine!" The middle-aged lord had a cracked mouth with a missing front tooth and a bright smile.

Yu Lie remembered that he had laughed at himself, saying that Luoyi was a barren land, and ridiculed Yu Lie for being a slave lord, poor and poor, and did not even have a chariot, for this reason, on a dark and windy night in a month, Yu Lie fought with him, of course, the result was that Yu Lie was more skilled, and his front tooth was still in a certain place in Longshan, and after that, he gave his chariot to Yu Lie, and at the source of the glacier, when he was about to be stabbed to death in the back by the Beidi people, Yu Lie cut the Di people in half.

The middle-aged lord is called Zi Cheyu, he often bragged to Yu Lie that his daughter was beautiful, wanted to marry his daughter to Yu Lie, and said that he would never dislike Yu Lie as a slave lord, and Yu Lie was not sensitive to this.

Now, his daughter came over, holding a bowl of wine, glanced at Yu Lie affectionately, and then lowered her face flushed with shame.

"Thank you."

Yu Lie took the wine bowl, drank it cleanly in one go, wiped his chin, and praised her for making wine very beautiful, just like her people. The lord's daughter looked up at him, but the slave lord had turned his horse's head and fled like the wind, as if he was afraid of being caught.

"Yu Lie, Yu Lie, don't be in a hurry to leave." Zicheyu laughed.

Yu Lie ran to Luoyi without looking back, and his retainer leader Luo Hou snickered behind him, Zicheyu's daughter is indeed very beautiful, her waist is very strong, full of vitality, and this is very good, easy to give birth to, her arm is afraid that it is thicker than the legs of a three-year-old child, which is also very good, indicating that she is very hardworking.

Luoyi, twenty miles from Fangyuan, there is only one lord Yu Lie. Three hundred iron armor came to a narrow valley in front of the horse to restrain the horse, the big firebird swept over the top of the valley, let out a long howl, the top of the valley sounded the cry of the wind monkey, the eagle rode on the horse and roared, a group of wind monkeys screamed and rushed down from the cliff, the wind pointed at the monkey king, the monkey king smacked his ears and scum, as if he was saying something.

"Master, someone is coming."

Someone is coming, who will it be?

Wind monkeys are unique products of Yan Kingdom, they are very small, and the adult monkey king is only the size of a clay pot, they like to make holes in the cliff and listen to the sound of the wind, so they are called wind monkeys, whether they have a sense of smell or hearing, they are extremely sensitive, and the caretaker is better than the dog, which is a favorite thing for every lord.

This group of monkeys is subjugated by the Great Firebird, and it is their lord, and it is their duty to be vigilant here for passers-by.

The valley was very long, and the valley was full of gravel of different sizes, and Luo Ying jumped off his horse, picked up a stone, and said in a deep voice: "Master, the person who came has a car." "The stone was crushed, and there were signs of wheels on the ground.

There are carriages and chariots, although the Yan Kingdom is quite peaceful, but there are occasional small-scale battles between lords and lords, especially when sowing in the spring, bloodshed for water is not uncommon. But what is Luoyi? There is neither water nor soil, so who would remember it? Unless......

The corners of Yu Lie's mouth curled slightly, and the horse galloped out of the valley, out of the valley, and in front of him was an extremely steep slope, and three hundred heavy armor rode slowly on the steep slope, like a huge black iron centipede.

"This is Luoyi, people stop coming!"

As soon as I climbed halfway up the slope, there was a loud shout at the top of the slope, and there was a fence overhead, and on both sides of the fence stood simple arrow towers, standing in the arrow towers, you could shoot arrows at any place, but the enemy was on the middle of the slope, not only had nowhere to hide, but could not quickly approach the fence.

Hearing this shout, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, the arrow tower and the fence were still there, at least it meant that it was not the enemy's chariot.

"The head of the house is back!"

Luo Ying rode his horse with all his might, and ran to a place three hundred paces away from the fence, and shouted loudly. After a while, a group of half-sized children rushed down from the arrow tower and quickly opened the fence.

Turning over this Fudangguan, the steep slope that is not opened, showing a natural depression under the body, Yu Lie reined in the horse, looking down on the top of the slope, this depression was cut into two pieces by the sword of Haotian God, the front is green like the sea, and the back is not an inch of grass, at this moment, there are some black dots walking through the depression in front, which is the old man and woman who are staying in the territory are working hard to sow seeds.

There is no river in the territory, but there is a small lake, which is like a merman's tear, embedded in this gray and green, and on both sides of the lake's shore, there are huge waterwheels, which are rolling up the water in the lake and scattering it into the ditches, and these ditches are like blood meridians, extending to every corner of the hollow.

Before the expedition, the fertile land in front of it did not belong to Yu Lie, it was Yan Jun's direct territory, because it was too remote, and the land that could produce food was less than ten miles, which was not convenient for distribution, so it was forgotten by Yan Jun. If Yu Lie hadn't inherited this place, maybe it would have been silent forever, but now, it is full of vitality.

There were very few old people in the territory, most of them were women and half-grown children, and Yu Lie bought slaves to open up the wasteland, and there was no need for old people, only young men and women.

When the three hundred iron horsemen came down from the slope, all the people in the field stopped, and looked at the black torrent in amazement, little by little, squeezing into their eyes, for three years, for three whole years.

A white-haired old man wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and ran towards Yu Lie with a cane, because he was running too quickly, the crutches in his hand accidentally hit a stone, and he fell to the ground suddenly, but he did not cry out in pain, but quickly stood up. Yu Lie had already come to him on horseback, he prostrate on the ground again, and said in a trembling voice: "The head of the family is back, and Luo Tong has seen the head of the house." ”

Yu Lie jumped off the horse, helped him up, and said with a smile: "It's hard work, we are all still alive, what about the waterwheel?" Pointing to the waterwheels, he remembered that they hadn't stood on the shore of the lake before he set out.

Luo Tong is Luo Ying's father, and one of the few old people Yu Lie bought, three years ago, Yu Lie took all the slaves who were over fifteen years old in the territory to go on the expedition, and entrusted this barren land to the old man in front of him, and he did not disappoint Yu Lie, three years later, not only did they not starve to death, but also opened up such a good land, at a glance, it seems that there are some new young slaves. As for the huge waterwheel, it was not made by ordinary slaves!

Luo Tong looked at Yu Lie's hand, the waterwheel was stirring the water, and the old slave had a proud smile on his face: "Back to the master, these waterwheels are all made by a new baby, no one believed him at first, only I believed him, but I didn't expect him to really cause it." ”

Yu Lie said: "Where is that person? ”

"On the old ground, I didn't come out to work, saying I wanted to get something?" The old slave squinted his eyes and thought for a while, then slapped his head sharply, and said with a smile: "Yes, what is it called a shaft cultivator, saying that with that thing, one person can do the work of three people!" ”

"Coupling tillage?"

Yu Lie's heart moved, and he raised his eyes to look at the waterwheel on the shore of the lake, only to find that there were also bearings rotating between those waterwheels and waterwheels, as if they did not rely solely on wind and water power, no wonder the wind in this valley was shallow, and the lake water was also still, but they turned so fast.

The old slave said: "Last year, the old slave received a letter and property from the head of the family handed over by Yan Guiren, and was ordered to buy a new batch of babies, and he was one of them. ”

Yan Guiren is Mrs. Yan.

At this time, Luo Ying, the son of the old slave, frowned and stared at a wheel print: "Father, is there someone in the city?" ”

"Yes, a distinguished guest has come to the city, and a noble person Wei is here."

The old slave laughed.
