Lu Wu was fed up with this era when everything he wanted to do was start with the steps of making tools.

When he made pottery, he needed to make a suitable sand basket. If he wanted to make a sand basket, he needed to make a knife again.

When making ceramic wheels, many other tools were made during the process of building the frame.

So, invention really comes from life.

What Lu Wu didn't know was that his grandmother issued a strict ban on the slaves, and ordered that everything was not allowed to be circulated.

And the grandmother's ban was very realistic.

After Lu Wu was resurrected from the dead, his words and deeds were different from before, and he was able to create various things.

The grandmother was reluctant to think about the direction of her grandson's body being occupied, so she could only pray that it was a gift of knowledge.

Now, if you want to refine oil, it may not be soybean oil, but it can also be the rest of the oil, but all of them require tools.

Fortunately, Lu Wu liked to watch some archaeological programs before traveling through time, otherwise even if he knew how to make electric machines without the support of the entire scientific system, even if all kinds of things were not invented and created, he would not be able to create a whole system himself.

If you want to refine soybean oil, you need to fry the soybeans until they are 70% or 80% cooked, and then use pressing to produce the oil.

This coincides with some of Lu Wu's plans.

For example, make some iron pots.

"Oh, there is no blacksmith at home?" Lu Wu accidentally said a word that was not available in Chunqiu and asked, "Did you buy the metal tools at home?"

My family hardly understood.

Lu Wu only had one word or a few words, and slowly made the elder understand what he meant.

The great nobles must have their own metallurgical craftsmen, but they usually make some things for their own use, including weapons and armor.

The Wei family accounts for the largest share of metal utensils on the market in Jin State.

The villages sealed have no metallurgical workshops, and there are no nearby villages.

If Lu Wu wants to build an iron pot, he needs to go to a big city called "Lu".

And Lucheng belongs to the Wei family and is one of their many cities.

When the old man learned that Lu Wu was going to Lucheng, he said in shame: "Master, the car is broken."

As a nobleman, he must take a bus when he goes out.

Cars are chariots, not very common carriages in later generations.

It was a chariot with wood as the main frame and leather sewn, called a leather chariot.

The chariot was the reward received by Lu Wu's "predecessor" father.

In other words, if you are not a noble, you have a chariot.

It has not been used for several years, and the family has been in trouble and has been damaged.

Lu Wu went to see the chariot, and the first thing he saw was a wheel missing.

Nowadays, cars do not have axles, and the wheels are directly installed on the frame.

Not to mention that there is no axle, it means that turning requires a large curvature.

Although it is just a wheel, the current strength of the Lu family cannot be created at all. The lack of professional talents is one of them, and there is no necessary tool.

In order to go out, Lu Wu also had to make a wheel, thus "inventing" the tools needed?

It's simply crazy!

Lu Wu is not a real aristocrat, and his family strength cannot show off his aristocratic airs. He said in a muffled voice: "Walk!"

The shame on the face of the old man is even more obvious.

When he went out, Lu Wu needed to report to his grandmother himself, and he also received permission.

The old grandmother glanced at Lu Wu deeply, asked clearly what she was going to do, and said, "Sure."

Think you can go out like this?

Most areas in the current era are unmanned areas, with all kinds of beasts in the wild, which makes it take a lot of time for the village to surround a fence to prevent wild beasts from entering the village.

Unless you have confidence in your own force, that is, you encounter a beast in the wild that can deal with it or escape, you will likely not be able to go back alone.

Not only are there all kinds of wild animals, but also poisonous insects, snakes and other poisonous animals and savages.

This savage refers to those who do not live in villages or cities, who do not have lords on their heads, do not pay taxes, and do not comply with lord laws or national laws.

Nobles can kill or capture savages at will.

The savage is brave enough to do things like robbery, murder, etc., and he likes to attack those who are alone.

Due to various factors, Lu Wu just wanted to go out. Eight warriors were summoned, and thirty young and strong people were called in the village to form a team of forty people, including him and his family.

Lu Wu couldn't ride a horse, so he came with two more horses that were originally used as chariots. He was too thin to ride.

The eight warriors did have only three of them with metal weapons, but they did not have armor; the remaining five were holding sticks.

People simply have nothing to do.

When Lu Wu saw the old man carrying a heavy animal skin bag, he heard the "rattle" sound of metal bumping inside, and signaled the old man to hand over the animal skin bag to him.

Since he was entering the city, even if Lu Wu just wanted to make a few pots, he would definitely have to spend money; if the old man was not too stupid, he should take this opportunity to buy what he needed to buy.

But only seeing an empty ox cart was the Lu family that had nothing to sell.

People who want to sell things, they dare not bring them to sell when they are responsible for the protection of the lord.

Lu Wu reached into the animal skin bag and took out two pieces of money.

The currency of the Spring and Autumn Period did not form a unified style, and the currency of the Jin State was a shovel shape.

It is a kind of hollow cloth that looks like a farm tool shovel, with a large and thick body, with a long head, almost half of the cloth body; the head has a square flap, which can hold the handle; both shrugged shoulders, pointed feet, and the crotch is round and square, and the crotch can be divided into two types: large arc crotch and shallow crotch; the cloth body has three protruding vertical patterns, which are the marks of the reinforcement ribs made by reinforcement surfaces and shovel heads.

Lu Wu saw the characters on the shovel coins and could tell that the font was a large seal script, but he just couldn't understand what it meant.

Along the way, even if you walk along the road, you can still see various animals that appear from time to time not far from both sides of the road.

Most of them are harmless rabbits, pheasants, badgers, deer, etc.

Tigers can be seen occasionally.

The packs of wolves are the most dangerous, but they don't encounter them.

It is not uncommon to see tigers, leopards, and even bears.

When Lu Wu passed by a section of the road, he even saw the elephant group!

This is not surprising. There were really elephants in the Central Plains during the Spring and Autumn Period, and they were all wild elephants.

Starting from the early morning until the sun was a little west, a tiger that suddenly appeared was dispersed in the middle, and they came to Lucheng.

This is a city with rammed earth walls.

From a distance, the city wall does not appear straight, it is generally a square of irregular shape, and it does not look large.

The city wall is about four meters high, and it is not obvious how wide it is. There is no city tower built, but there must be a city gate.

My family paid the fee for entering the city.

When Lu Wu saw that he handed over two shovel coins, he thought to himself: "If you need to get the entry fee, how is the purchasing power of two shovel coins? Are you cheap or expensive?"

What he didn't know was that his hometown was just paying himself and him, and the people were not included in the city entrance fee that the warriors should pay.

And this happens, it is purely the people who belong to the people according to the values ​​of this era, and are not considered human beings, or at least not free people.

So, this is an era where even tax payments require qualifications.

People who do not sell goods can enter tax-free, but they go through the doorway with low status; if they buy things and come out, they will have to pay taxes.

There are not many people entering and leaving the city.

There were more than a dozen soldiers who were on duty in a scattered manner.

A tax collector is responsible for tax collection and accounting.

There is no stall at the city gate.

When people stand at the gate of the city, they can see a wide dirt road, and they can also see those thatched huts with only one floor.

Only after entering the city gate did I realize that there was no house within a hundred meters beside the city wall, and even if there were buildings, it was of military value.

"I can't see a few people..." Lu Wu thought puzzled: "That's it, it's called Dacheng?"

What he didn't know was that living in a city during the Spring and Autumn Period was equivalent to living in a city forever.

In this era, the original intention of building a city was because of its military value, which gradually became non-military purposes.

The city belongs to the great nobles. In addition to the people living in the city, there are some temporary residents.

The temporarily living population is not allowed to own an inch of land in the city, and if you want to live there, you have to rent it.

If a city has lived in a long time, it may be due to one or another, and the city will be migrated.

The main reason is that there is no underground drainage system now, and the lack of sufficient labor does not allow professional urban cleaners.

Of course, cleaning is done in normal times, but after living for a long time, it causes all kinds of dirty and messy, which leads to pollution, so you need to move out. When will you come back, it is also mentioned. More likely, it will be abandoned.
