Later, Lu Wu figured out that he might not be named to go to the battlefield, but his family must send warriors to wait for the order.

It is the Spring and Autumn Period now, and the situation is really different from that of the Han, Tang, Song and Ming dynasties.

And it is in Jin State!

Any aristocrat cannot simply rely on the status of a noble, but must bear corresponding obligations and responsibilities.

The samurai who depend on oneself and the people of the territory belong to the first thing is to hang the heavy responsibility on the nobles.

If the fish belongs to the people? Just run away.

The people of the country went to sue, and some nobles were willing to stand up and uphold justice.

The fish samurai class? There are many nobles in Jin State killed by their own samurai.

It is now the Spring and Autumn Period, and there are countless kings who died in assassination.

Therefore, you really can't commit suicide easily.

As a member of the country, everyone should pay taxes, but the aristocrats have a large output and bear more.

It is an honor to be recruited by the state to participate in the war, and it is also a way to make merit.

It is not that honor for the people and the free people to go to the battlefield to serve the country.

The so-called free people either have rich ancestors (nobles from aristocrats), or they are descendants of warriors, and they are the so-called "national people".

However, slaves have a greater chance of going to the battlefield than people or free people, but they usually do some manual labor.

Use slaves as cannon fodder?

Jin State is a military-fruitist country. The nobles cherish the opportunity to make achievements. Warriors also need to work hard to prove their value, obtain spoils, and climb to higher classes.

Those who can go to the battlefield are professional "war machines", that is, groups that usually specialize in training killing skills.

Now, the various countries in the pan-Chinese cultural circle, except for the Qin State in the west and the Chu State in the south, are fighting a war of gentlemen, that is, they are agreed upon and then they will open a scene with each other.

If you don’t want to fight, you can lose half of your surrender.

When a noble is captured, he will enjoy the treatment he deserves, and he can even redeem himself by paying a ransom.

Unless it is a battle to destroy the country or a battle to attack and defence in the city, the war will not only allow women to go away, but free people and slaves are basically not qualified to participate in the war.

However, the free people and slaves need to bear the pain after the defeat.

For example, taxes are increased, or property is plundered, or even people are treated as spoils; slaves are treated as compensation and handed over to the winner.

Of course, the State of Chu does not consider itself a member of the Chinese cultural circle now. They proudly say that they are barbarians.

Lu Wu popularized the "common sense" of this era from his family, and once again glad that his soul had penetrated into a nobleman.

Even as a little nobleman.

The sun rises and sunsets, and another night when mosquitoes are biting in their sleep passes.

When Lu Wu woke up, he reached out to his itchy position immediately, and he saw that there was a thatched roof when he opened his eyes.

Grooming?

Teeth are cleaned with tough plant leaves (usually willow branches) and hands.

If you use salt to clean your mouth, not all salt is OK.

There is no toothpaste at all.

Wash your face with clean water, then wipe it with a linen cloth, and then finish the process with one set of washing.

Since we know that in addition to paying taxes, we also need to send samurai to the war, Lu Wu needs to know how many samurai there are in the family.

Now he doesn't know that the aristocrats actually pay taxes only, that is, sending troops, including going to obey orders in person, not paying money or food.

He had not specifically understood these things before, but had seen one or two samurai soldiers, but he didn't know how many samurai soldiers his family had.

He did not use indirect methods, and when he was eating, he directly asked the old man who was beside him.

The old man was not suspicious, and even comforted Lu Wu when asked, and answered directly: "Master, eight warriors can be used, the third one is the old soldiers, and the rest are the light soldiers."

The so-called old soldiers are infantry who have participated in the war, and they usually have their own weapons.

A light soldier refers to a person who cannot bring his own armor and weapons, not a type of soldier.

They are a group that is attached to the Luwu family. In the West, they are people like knights.

When Lu Wu heard that some warriors didn't even have weapons, he felt that it was unreliable.

He asked, "As the same as before, how many warriors should be sent?"

The old man replied again: "Fifteenth."

Four big words flashed in Lu Wu's mind: Watfak?!

With this, the family does not even have enough warriors to recruit?

He wanted to ask a lot of questions, but he endured it.

Half a month is enough to observe a lot of things.

I didn’t mention this family before, but it was obviously still declining in the generation of Lu Wu.

Having received hints from superior nobles, my grandmother was worried recently, obviously thinking of a solution.

The first thing Lu Wu thought of was to choose from the slaves, but when he thought about it, he felt that it was a bit inappropriate.

After all, if the slave is right, my grandmother would not have thought of it.

The old man said hesitantly: "Master, you may transport pottery to the village vendor."

Lu Wu knew about the Spring and Autumn Period, but he knew about the Spring and Autumn Period, and also knew about some historical celebrities and major historical events.

Social customs, laws, human relationships, and how nobles should socialize, all need to be learned.

Therefore, he didn't know that he wanted to sell things, so he could not sell them casually.

For example, the old man suggested that the pottery be transported to the next village to sell. If the village was sealed by a certain noble, it would be considered as an infringement of the noble's rights and interests without negotiation, and if negotiation, it would require some blood.

Lu Wu confirmed one thing about the proposal from his elder family. His grandmother was short of money and was so short that she was a little skeptical.

The reason why my grandmother urgently needs money is that she needs money to hire a warrior based on her current situation.

Some families are so devastated that they cannot afford to support samurai, they will also leave that family and become ownerless samurai.

At the same time, some samurai lose their dependent families and lose everything about themselves, and will become wandering samurai.

The above two types of warriors are willing to be hired in a short term, and there are nobles... especially the great nobles who want to take in it, and they are reluctant to do so.

After reaching this conclusion, Lu Wu had a new enlightenment.

It is either the aristocrats of this era... or the aristocrats in Jin State are self-disciplined, or the cost of sending people in the form of fooling around will be very high.

After finishing the conversation with my elders, Lu Wu decided to go to Houzhai District.

The rise and fall of a family can be seen from many aspects.

There was not a way to enjoy it during the Spring and Autumn Period. Many of them could reflect the actual situation of a family where to live, what to eat, how many slaves there were, etc.

Lu Wu did not pay special attention to the large animals at home before.

This time he came to Houzhai District, he deliberately observed it.

First of all, the two horses in the stable were not good at first sight and were not well cared for.

The five cows in the livestock circle looked very healthy and were obviously taken care of.

There are less than twenty sheep, and there are no flocks of chickens and ducks.

Lu Wu also counted the slaves working in the residential area, and there were eighteen people in total.

He walked around all the residential areas as if he was wandering around, and there were 26 slaves counting them.

When he first came here, he wondered why he was a nobleman, why there was no girl who warmed the bed, sleeping, getting up, washing, and eating... Anyway, no one served him, and he didn't seem aristocratic at all.

And after knowing some things and then observing them, the conclusion will be very obvious.

The cattle used as labor force are carefully cared for, but the horse looks like that.

The dignified head of the family and the little noble are also nobles, but there are no slaves who are dedicated to serving them.

Everything means that the family is really ruined.

in addition.

There is no employment contract now. It is said to be a servant, but it is actually a slave.

The warrior has his own family. In addition to working as a job, he usually lives in his own home.

They have their own slaves to do all kinds of things.

Jin State has carried out reforms and implemented the national policy of uniting military and agricultural cooperation, but the warriors do not do farm work except sowing spring and harvest in autumn.

So, the main profession of samurai is to do some things related to violence.

After observing it in a targeted manner, Lu Wu returned to his house.

He originally thought that since he was a nobleman, he could be a first-generation ancestor.
