Chapter 27: Who hasn't ordered a little arrogant,

The more warriors a nobleman are, the better. We must consider whether they can afford it.

During the Spring and Autumn Period, every twenty families usually came to support a warrior.

This offering is not the civilians who directly take food and money to the warriors. The only objects they pay taxes are their own lords.

The warriors only pay taxes, not taxes.

There are more warriors in the seal, which means that fewer people pay taxes to the lord.

If the output is insufficient, the lord cannot afford the tax. Isn’t it a tragedy?

This tribute must be handed over to the country, not to serve the monarch.

In Jin State, the power of the king is actually not very good. The "nobles" who really exercise state power are those "remembers". The king is often a seal.

Usually, the service of aristocrats is to receive taxes.

For example, one quarter of service a year.

During a reasonable service period, they have to prepare everything themselves. If they are not enough, they can borrow it from the state, but they must pay it back and pay rent (or interest).

After a reasonable service period, the state should bear their consumption from the conscripted nobles, from the warriors who participated in the war and the foster people brought there.

Of course, if the monarch is shameless, he can refuse to supply the nobles more than they did during his service.

The Lao Lu family only has ten miles of seals around it, and the people belong to only more than five hundred.

If it is normal, it would be reasonable that there are no more than twenty-five warriors under Lu Wu's name to rely on him.

He had previously increased the quota of warriors to eighty, which seriously exceeded the limit that the old Lu family could reasonably bear.

As the so-called burden, while the old Lu family had insufficient output, they also had to lay out land for the samurai family to farm, and even gave basic slaves.

Lu Wu dared to do this, naturally because the old Lu family did not rely solely on farming income, they were selling pottery, and they also had catering cooperation with Wei's family.

Do you really rely entirely on farming accumulation? Do you believe that the Lu family will declare bankruptcy directly when they need to receive taxes next year?

The Liang family in the next village are also working on side jobs, and there are not many family warriors.

"Know." Lu Wu looked at Cheng Ying calmly and asked, "There are also plans."

He didn't ask Cheng Ying why he didn't bring the baby with him today?

Cheng Ying looked at Lu Wu unexpectedly and asked curiously: "How?"

The old Lu family's seal is so big, and there is no other output yet.

If you do business, can you ensure that pottery will always be popular?

Then, working with a great nobleman like the Wei family would be made excuses to postpone dividends anytime and anywhere.

Cheng Ying didn't understand where Lu Wu came from his confidence.

In fact, even if Lu Wu is confident that he can afford to pay the tuition, the most important thing about the old Lu family is that there are too many slaves, poor management, and even negligent surveillance, and major problems will happen at any time.

"(I) want to make an appointment with Li." Lu Wu stood up, walked to the corridor outside, stood still and said, "Can you let Li serve the people?"

Cheng Ying opened her mouth wide when she heard this, and looking at Lu Wu was like watching an alien.

Becoming a slave now does not necessarily mean being a slave for the rest of your life. In fact, if someone is willing to redeem himself, he can become a free citizen.

The nations continued to fight, and the captured soldiers became slaves to the victorious country.

However, once the defeated country pays for redemption, the captured soldiers will be restored to their freedom.

And everything that slaves belongs to their masters, including their lives.

Therefore, it is impossible for slaves to accumulate enough wealth to redeem themselves.

The lord can show great mercy and remove someone from being a slave.

But right? There are only examples of nobles arresting people (or buying them) as slaves and actively releasing slaves for free, which are fewer meteorites falling from the sky.

Cheng Ying made an impolite move to clean his ears, stared at Lu Wu with wide eyes, and said, "I'm afraid I'll be the enemy of everyone!"

Even if a nobleman really took the initiative to release the slave, the slave did something that shocked the world and was so heartbroken, or was recognized by his master for his slavery.

From ancient times to the present, have there been any agreement between nobles and slaves that have made to restore their freedom in large quantities?

Some, Emperor Xin, and then he was united by Ji Chang and other groups of slave owners.

Cheng Ying was surprised at what Lu Wu had in mind. Not only did he reduce his own property, it would also arouse hostility from other nobles.

Lu Wu learned from Cheng Ying's reaction that he was doing something shocking.

But he was a little confused.

If you remember correctly, the Zhao family was the first to release a large number of slaves in history?

And Lu Wu remembered it correctly.

The Zhao family is a very strange nobleman to his kind. Not only did he take the lead in releasing slaves in large numbers, but he also did many major things that made the other nobles feel that they were all wrong, including the reform of Hu clothing, riding and shooting.

Is Cheng Ying a retainer of the Zhao family? Whether he has the belief to revitalize the Zhao family's master sect, why don't he even know the Zhao family's philosophy?

In fact, during the Zhao Dun period, the Zhao family had already released slaves in batches.

However, because the Zhao family itself was not unified internally, the nobles outside were also hostile to Zhao Dun Shi Nu's behavior, and the news was blocked in all aspects, resulting in Cheng Ying not knowing it at all.

"The official of the martial arts, the people..." Lu Wu roughly guessed from Cheng Ying's reaction that his behavior was very inappropriate, but he was as arrogant as a time traveler. He raised his head slightly and said stubbornly: "All of them are martial arts!"

Grass!

Didn’t I agree to make the decision on my territory?

Pay the tax you should pay!

The fu that should be accepted, the fu!

What you want to do is not even control the king.

If any nobleman is unhappy, come and lick my butt!

Just do that, what's going on!?

Lu Wu shook his long sleeves and left his room, while instructing Qing, who was firmly following him, and said, "All the servants gather in Guang."

The slaves were concentrated in an open place, and the ability mainly delivered the leader's speech!

It was a long process for slaves to be dispersed to work.

The first to surround the wide open space were many people. They didn't know what their lords were doing, and they whispered to see if they were going to travel far again.

Although Lu Wu brought his harvest every time he went out, he was actually unhappy with his lord to go out.

The main reason is that the old Lu family has only one single seedling, Lu Wu, and the overall strength of the family is not good, so they cannot provide better protection.

If there is a short time, they have just had a good time, wouldn’t it be the end?

Lu Wu took this time to reflect.

It seems that a large number of slaves can't be easily released at once, or if it is reported, it will definitely be hostile to the nobles.

But if you don’t give slaves hope, the population and class composition of the old Lu family is too dangerous.

Slaves everywhere had been escorted and gathered here.

However, Lu Wu was first talking to the people, mentioning how many female slaves he brought back this time, and explaining what the distribution arrangement was.

The people listened very seriously, either single or have a family member of a bachelor at home, and prayed that the lord could give him a female slave.

Lu Wu's distribution plan is very simple. Which one or one performs the best will get a female slave.

There are ten places in the first batch, and the deadline will be until the end of winter.

The enthusiasm for farming and producing land, waiting for the call, and even any good suggestions can be given, are considered to be good performance.

After listening, the people continued to whisper.

Lu Wu looked at the more and more slaves gathered, glanced at Cheng Ying, who was obviously watching the show, turned his head and swallowed.

Mad!
Chapter completed!
