Chapter 11: Quiet and thoughtful

According to the Zhou Li, a man can only become an adult when he holds a crown ceremony at the age of 20.

This "adult" is about being able to help the family fulfill some responsibilities and assume some positions.

But it does not necessarily require you to be twenty years old before you can perform the ceremony. You can do it anytime when there are special circumstances.

Lu Wu just learned not long ago that "he" was only fourteen years old.

And the reason why I know is that my grandmother held a ceremony to Lu Wu under the witness of her only retainer, Zhuo.

The more prominent the identity, the more grand and complex the etiquette of performing the crown ceremony.

The civilian's crown ceremony is to change the hairstyle, which is considered complete.

If it were normal, why was the old Lu family all a little noble? The only heir who wanted to perform the ceremony would definitely invite some people of equal status to come and watch the ceremony, and even invite people with higher status to host it.

But the old Lu family was ruined and had just shown signs of prosperity. My grandmother was stimulated by some reason. She couldn't wait to revive the old Lu family and could not wait to hold a ceremony for Lu Wu with only one retainer as witness.

As soon as the ceremony ended, Lu Wu took a bronze key and a roll of bamboo slips from his grandmother.

Giving the key represents that Lu Wu will decide all the policies of the old Lu family in the future, and the family regards him as the reality and the only leader.

That bamboo slip is a proof of the nobles, and it also clearly states where the seal of the old Lu family comes from and how large the scope is, and the rough terrain description inside.

Later, Lao Zhuo handed all the boxes containing the alchemy book (the body selling contract) to Lu Wu, representing that Lu Wu had mastered the life and death of all warriors, people and slaves from that moment on.

From having a ponytail tied up to having a hairpin tied up, changing the hairstyle is equivalent to ushering in a new life.

But Lu Wu should do what he should do and continue to do.

After building the houses needed by the samurai and craftsmen, it was the job of Lao Zhuo, who should allocate land to the samurai.

Where to place the workshop and what kind of planning to make, this work that Lao Zhuo could not undertake fell into Lu Wu's hands.

A metallurgical workshop must first have a furnace. According to the impressions of some archaeological programs and combined with the actual opinions of craftsmen, Lu Wu chose the most common vertical furnace.

It is not easy to make such a furnace.

First, you need to select suitable soil to build the bottom and furnace cylinder. Generally, you use mixed materials to make the appropriate clay, that is, spread fine sand, and then seep into the mixture of charcoal powder and crushed iron ore layer by layer.

Most of them were designed and manufactured by craftsmen. Lu Wu found that they had left some holes, and asked if they wanted to be used to put "南口".

The two characters pronounced as tuó yuè, which is an instrument used for blowing wind and fire in ancient times.

Lu Wu has a vision of being ahead of more than 2,700 years, but he may not be more professional than craftsmen.

So, leave the professional work to professionals.

Cheng Ying appeared halfway through the construction of the smelting workshop.

He always brought the baby with him and saw the old Lu family building a smelting workshop. After watching it for a day or two, he didn't know if he couldn't stand it or felt that he couldn't eat a meal, so he gave some guidance to the craftsmen.

Craftsmen dare not say anything else.

They felt that Cheng Ying's opinion made sense, so they asked Lu Wu for instructions, and only after obtaining permission did they modify it according to Cheng Ying's opinion.

When you are busy, time will pass very quickly.

In the blink of an eye, more than a month passed, and Lu Wu sent away the first batch of chefs who came to learn how to cook. He suddenly realized that all the things to be explained were underway and no new projects could be opened.

During that period, the children of Wei Xiang and other noble families did not come back, but rather than Lu Wu's expectations.

He originally thought that the children of several great nobles would come to eat and drink in a few days.

The first batch of iron pots in the smelting workshop were created. After sending people to inform the Wei family, Wei Xiang sent a team to pick up the first batch of iron pots.

Prime Minister Wei also asked his retainers to send a letter to Lu Wu.

Of course, it is used in bamboo abbreviation.

I said I was looking forward to coming to Lao Lu’s house to have delicious food again, but I was very busy recently and I didn’t have the chance.

In addition, I also said that after trying out the dishes that I returned to the chef after learning, I felt that they were not as delicious as Lu Wu.

Finally, he told Lu Wu that the opening of a restaurant was already underway and asked him to wait for good news.

The cooperation between the old Lu family and Wei family was clearly provided by Lu Wu, but the Wei family accounted for 60% of them, the Han family accounted for 35% and Lu Wu only obtained half of them.

That is to say, if it is divided into 100 shares, Wei's family got 60 shares, Han's family got 35 shares, and Lu Wu's family got 5 shares.

Lu Wu had nothing to be dissatisfied with this.

He didn't have that much face to let the nobles of each family agree to open a restaurant on his territory.

Moreover, everything that creates iron pots, including buying land and building buildings, ingredients, etc., and man-made, is produced by Wei and Han.

By the way, what else is dissatisfied with?

Lu Wu also has another project that Wei and Han are not involved.

He really wanted to set up a street stall, which was to sell soy milk and fried dough sticks.

Of course, he didn't go to set up a stall himself, but would create the tools he needed, and then find the people who are willing to do so, and the people will go to various villages or cities to operate.

The old Lu family will invest in full in the early stage.

All the compensations are from the old Lu family.

If you can make money, all the things you have in the stall will be loaned to the people. Then the old Lu family's shares account for 60% of the shares in the first year of this business decreased year by year until they accounted for 10%, and they permanently owned the dividend rights.

This method is even more crunchy than crunchy, but it is the only way to do it in the spring and autumn.

So much so that after Lu Wu explained the people who were willing to take risks, they not only did not think that Lu Wu was exploiting him, but also thought that Lu Wu was a great good person.

In fact, it is said that the people who belong to the lord work for the lord is useless and there is no salary.

However, Lu Wu taught private means of livelihood and promised to help start a business.

Therefore, even if the old Lu family permanently accounts for a full share of dividends, the people need to work on their own labor and logistics, and they will only be grateful.

Another month and a half passed, and when Lu Wu, who was very quiet and thoughtful, could not bear it, his elder Zhuo told him that it was time to do something for his people.

What should the nobles of these days do for their subordinates?

It is a very rough summary that you can arbitrarily assign people, but you have to lead people to a prosperous life.

When Lu Wu learned that the warriors should be gathered and brought them to kill a group of animals around him to clear out the beasts within the territory, he became interested in it all at once.

And this is actually the lord's responsibility.

"It's possible to move!" Lu Wu suddenly entered from laziness to excitement, and asked again: "Where are my armor and weapons?"

Lao Zhuo was prepared for a long time, but when he took the armor and weapons back, Lu Wu frowned.

It is obvious that the leather armor and weapons are "herited by the ancestors" of the old Lu family.

That is, the father left behind by Lu Wu's "predecessor".

The leather armor is old and looks too big for Lu Wu.

He pulled out the bronze sword from the wooden sheath and found that the blade had a lot of collapse, as if he could use it as a saw!

I have a smelting workshop and iron ingots at home, so why don’t I build iron weapons?

Just because it is not possible to build iron tools, it is equivalent to being able to make useful iron weapons!

At present, bronze technology has not yet developed to its peak, and iron technology is only a preliminary stage of application.

In other words, with current technology, it is not impossible to create an iron sword.

However, if you believe that the iron sword and the bronze sword are cut against each other, the iron sword is broken, not the bronze sword.

Lu Wu's eyes seemed to be looking at the bronze sword, but his pupils had no focus. He was thinking: "Increasing the temperature can smel out a purer iron material; if it is forging techniques, I remember some; just remember what is added, that is, what formula can make the quality of the iron material meet the standards for making weapons?"
