235 Wu State Mission
The sun is setting, Lu Mansion, dining room.
"Ah, it's all here, what are you talking about? So serious? Lu Zhicai returned to the house, and just went to the palace to send a pot of dog meat to King Fu.
It's dinner time, the meals are ready, and the family is waiting for him to come back and start the meal.
The people at the dinner table are also relatively neat, except for the eldest brother Lu Ren who is far away in Xuanwu City, the rest of the family members are there, which can be regarded as a reunion dinner.
Daddy Lu Jian nodded, "Let's serve the food, talk while eating." ”
He went out to help Langzhong of the water department control the water, and he has been back for two months, and Lu Jian is also a Langzhong and has his own responsibilities.
"Yes, hurry up and start the meal, our secret chicken legs, I've been hungry for a long time."
This is the second eldest Lu Yi, a few days ago, the Acropolis Army conducted a large-scale exercise, and the effect was good, the general was happy, waved his hand, and the low-level officials had a five-day holiday.
It's not a holiday in the barracks, it's the kind where you can go home, and this kind of vacation is very important for the sake of reproduction.
To put it simply, General Ben is very happy, you melon babies, all go home for me to have babies!
"We're back, we're talking about the Wu Mission."
The third elder, Lu Li, has recently changed his responsibilities, not only to take care of his work in the Hanlin Academy, but also to help Shen Shilang deal with diplomatic matters related to the Wu State.
Lu Zhi looked at Xiao Xinzi, who was stunned for a moment, "Ah, I'll listen to it." ”
"Haha, you~~~" Lu Zhi looked around, the feeling of the family is so good!
…………
The meal was ready, indicating the beginning of the Lu family's family meeting.
Isn't there such a sentence, big things are done at the dinner table, and the Lu family now has a tendency to develop in this direction.
Lu Jian looked at the little ancestor and found that Lu Zhi was not prepared to speak, so he was the first to speak.
"Fortunately, thanks to the king's grace, the task of my Yu Heng Division has been reduced this year, and the Ordnance Bureau has done a good job, barely completed."
Lu Zhi was quite surprised, "That's really not easy." ”
Let's chirp~~~
As the name suggests, the Ordnance Bureau is the one that manufactures weapons, and there are standards every year, how many spears there are, and how many knives there are...... There are a few of them.
However, the work capacity of this department is limited, and even if the king of Yue is open and exempted, it is relatively rare for them to be qualified.
"It's not easy, it's been four years, and I've finally paid off all my previous debts." Lu Jian sighed, and the bitter wine entered his throat.
Let's chirp~~~
Because of the weak work ability, the Ordnance Bureau owes some every year, which has accumulated over the years, which is not a small hole.
Of course, Lu Jian's lack of leadership ability is also a very important reason, he was the ambassador (chief officer) of this department before he was promoted to Langzhong.
It can be said that these "debts" are inseparable from him, and now that this hole has been filled, Lu Jian has mixed feelings in his heart, which is very complicated.
"What? It's still on? Lu Zhi was shocked, "This ambassador is amazing!" ”
"It's amazing." Lu Jian took another sip of bitter wine and sighed, "Hey, if I knew that there was such a talent, why would I have been relegated back to my hometown!" ”
Lu Jian pinched his throat and coughed dryly, if he didn't return to his hometown, the little ancestor would still be trapped in the sarcophagus, he realized that this topic could not be said again.
Let's chirp~~~
"Well, this Ambassador You has been in office for three years, and he has paid off his debts little by little, and he has finally settled the accounts, so it's not okay to be unconvinced!" After Lu Jian finished speaking, he once again bitterly drank in his throat, "It's just that the craftsmanship is too poor and unsightly." ”
Lu Zhi nodded, that is to say, this ambassador surnamed You, he is not a technical talent, but a managerial type.
He manages the Ordnance Bureau, and he is not the kind of layman who guides the insider, he also has technology, but he is not very good at it.
But then again, none of Lu Jian's assumptions are valid.
The reason why he was able to be the ambassador of the Ordnance Bureau in the first place was because he had a father who was a waiter in the Ministry of Works.
And this Ambassador You, he has no background, if it weren't for King Yue's anger several times and ruthlessly cleaned up the Ministry of Industry, the Ordnance Bureau under the Ministry of Industry also changed several people, and he wouldn't have been able to say anything.
This may be an opportunity, if it weren't for the heavy casualties of the Ordnance Bureau, a mere unknown person, there would be no chance to show his head in this life.
"Forget it, forget it, don't talk about it." Lu Jian felt bitter in his heart, for fear that if he continued to talk about it, the whole person would get drunk.
The more capable Ambassador You is, the more incompetent his former predecessor is, how can he not be bitter in his heart.
Lu Zhi was also speechless, it was all black history, and no one asked you to talk about it.
"Ahem, let's talk about the Wu State Mission." Lu Zhi wanted to comfort Lu Jian for a few words, but he was afraid of hurting him again??, so he had to change the topic.
Let's chirp~~~
"It's good that the Wu delegation is here!" The dead fat man finally stopped chirping, "If they hadn't come, I wouldn't have had a holiday to rest." ”
The large-scale drill of the Acropolis Army was precisely to deter the Wu State Mission, and it was a targeted action to raise the prestige of the Yue State.
When Lu Li heard this, he shook his head, his brows furrowed slightly, "I'm afraid it's not a good thing." ”
Lu Zhi was heartfelt, "What do you say?" ”
"The Wu State Mission is a moth." While Lu Li followed Shen Langzhong to receive the delegation, he could hear King Yue having a small meeting with the scholars, so he knew a lot of internal information, "It is said that it is a martial arts competition." ”
"Tournament?" Lu Yi held the chicken leg in his mouth, slapped the table, and shouted vaguely, "Compare and compare, who is afraid of whom!" ”
This reckless man, the competition between the two countries, can it be an ordinary competition? …… Lu Zhi's eyes narrowed slightly, "This is to test my Dayue's military strength, if one is not handled well, it will be war." ”
"yes." Lu Li didn't expect others to understand, so he just focused on talking to Lu Zhi.
"At war?" Lu Yi tore off a big bite of chicken, "Can I still be afraid of him?" ”
Lu Zhi turned his head and stared at the dead fat man, full of concern, "It's hard to come back, isn't it good for you to eat chicken legs quietly?" ”
didn't look at the side, the nominal head of the family, Lu Jian, the oldest man in the Lu family, didn't say a word.
Lu Jian drank by himself, he was very self-aware, he didn't understand anything, it was better to be a quiet old beautiful man.
Lu Yi was cold, "Uh, okay, I'll eat chicken legs, eat chicken legs~~~"
…………
The table was quiet, and Lu Zhi and Lu Li had a careful conversation.
“…… It's a team battle with hundreds of people from each side. Lu Zhi understood, "Fight in a group? ”
Lu Li hesitated for a moment and nodded, "Well, that's fine." ”
"Wu Guo's side is the embassy's guard." Lu Zhi's eyes narrowed slightly, and although he already had the answer in his heart, he couldn't help but ask, "Elite?" ”
"Very elite!"
"What do you mean by King Yue?" Lu Zhi shook his head, "Forget it, no matter what he means, this is our Lu family's chance." ”
"Opportunity?"
"Hmm." Lu Zhi shifted his gaze to Lu Yi, and the dead fat man was still fighting against the chicken legs.
