Chapter 31: Pretend to be coercive? Got struck by lightning!

Although the old Lu family relies on the Wei family, this dependence is not a very strict relationship between superiors and subordinates.

In fact, it's just finding a "channel".

Usually, the old Wei family would not send the old Lu family to do anything at will. They summoned them when they needed troops, and even started some major project to borrow people.

In return, the old Wei family needs to give the old Lu family an opportunity to serve the country.

That opportunity is actually a kind of "channel", which allows the old Lu family to complete the "tuition" that a noble should pay and have the opportunity to make military achievements.

There is another advantage to being affiliated with the great nobles, which has a backer on it. The other great nobles want the little nobles to die, and they always have to take care of the face of being the great nobles.

For example, Han Jue was appreciated by Zhao Dun and gave him a good opportunity.

Han Jue seized that opportunity very vigorously, which led to the foundation for the Han family's current glory.

This time, Wei Xiang came to Lao Lu's family and had the same meaning.

Wei has already started to engage in catering and has received a very enthusiastic response. Whether or not he makes money or not actually has little to do with it. What is important is other effects.

As the initiator and the creator of new cooking techniques, Lu Wu has never asked about the situation in the catering industry and has consciously urged dividends.

The rest of the Wei family may not remember Lu Wu, but Wei Xiang will not forget it.

Wei Xiang came to see how Lu Wu led the army, and based on his own observations, he decided what level of opportunities he would give.

According to the old practice, Lu Wu personally cooked the dishes with sincerity and held a banquet to entertain Wei Xiang and his accompanying retainers.

Wei Xiang didn't say anything when he was eating.

He first started a conversation, and then a retainer named Song Bin talked about the catering industry that Wei was running.

According to Song Bin, the new dishes caused a great sensation in Xintian. The restaurants are full every day, and even the appointments are made next year.

Xintian is the current capital of Jin State.

Jin State carried out five capital relocations around the country. Needless to say, in the sixth year of Chenggong (585 BC), Jin State abandoned the old capital "Jiang" and changed the new land into a new capital.

Why do you frequently move the capital?

In addition to military threats and the poverty of surrounding land, it may also be drought and floods, and the main reason is "garbage siege".

No one wants to live in a city full of stinky smell, and now there is no mature drainage system.

Imagine that the daily household waste, coupled with the ditch full of urine and feces from humans and animals, the disease rate has exceeded the sky, what are you waiting for if you don’t run away?

Of course, Lu Wu knew that the new dishes would be popular and would bring new opportunities to Wei.

All families, whether they are big nobles, small nobles or civilians, used to eat pig food. By chance, they ate the delicious food of new cooking techniques, so they would definitely not be happy to make things difficult for their mouths, tongues and stomachs.

I feel that I have a good relationship with Wei, or I have a thick-skinned face, and I must have an equal status or a relatively high level. I will ask Wei for new cooking techniques.

In this way, while Wei is more respectful, he can expand his connections according to his own choices, or form friendly relations with aristocrats.

This is really not something that can be measured simply by money.

Thanks to the above, Lu Qi first remembered the inventor and creator of the new dish, and then alarmed the rest of the Wei family.

Wei Xiang came with the mission of Zhengzhi this time. If Lu Wu really had military talent, Wei would definitely give him enough rewards.

If Lu Wu had no military talent, the return would be changed to another method, which was most likely to be a lot of warriors, money, people, slaves, etc.

As for the fiefdom, Lu Wu did not have the premise of making contributions. If Wei wanted to give it, he could only lend it to the name of the old Lu family.

After all, Jin State is a military-fruit vassal state.

Being a nobleman in Jin State, whether it is a small noble or a big nobleman, if you don’t understand military affairs, you can only be a useless man who will not look up to anyone.

Although it was just a few tips, Lu Wu grabbed it keenly.

He began to praise the warriors given to Wei Xiang, and then said modestly that he had been feeling the increase in the number of slaves in the territory recently and had to train a temporary group of lords.

The warrior he presented was praised, and Wei Xiang felt extremely proud. He raised the wine cup and invited Lu Wu to drink it together, and then looked at Song Bin.

This Song Bin is actually Bin from Song State.

He just seemed to be taking some test, and kept observing Lu Wu calmly.

After a series of observations, Lu Wu's impression on Song Bin can only be said to be good, but not excellent.

This is also because Lu Wu has a slap in order to avoid showing too much in front of Wei Xiang. He devotes more energy to restrain himself and makes himself look like a nobleman from the Spring and Autumn Period.

Song Bin did not respond to Wei Xiang.

Wei Xiang frowned slightly, stood up and said, "This is fine, it's okay to learn from it."

This is to see who Lu Wu has trained.

They stopped the banquet and came to the playground specially opened by Lu Wu.

At this time, seventy or eighty warriors were sweating to train.

Most of them use training equipment and facilities, while a small number of them are practicing combat skills.

The arrival of Lu Wu, Wei Xiang and others did not stop all warriors from training.

However, the warriors who were closer to Lu Wu and others would bow their hands when they saw it.

What should they do if they should continue to do it if they are far away?

Lu Wu walked to the room next to him, and when he came out, he held a wooden whistle in his mouth, took a deep breath and then blew it.

"Beebeebee--"

The whistle sounded, and the warriors immediately put down their work and ran over to line up.

Wei Xiang's attention was attracted by the facilities that he had never seen before on the playground. He waited for the formation of the warriors to turn his gaze back.

As one of the visitors, Song Bin just glanced at the facilities a few times, and his more attention was to observe the warriors.

A total of seventy-six warriors were on the playground. They heard the whistle coming. Ten people lined up in eight rows, one of which had only six.

Wei Xiang felt a little surprised.

He found that he could not recognize who was the warrior he sent out, and who was the temporary lord armed force selected by Lu Wu himself.

As a child of a great noble, it is impossible to remember every face of his own samurai. He can only identify the actions of the samurai to see if there are any shadows of his own family samurai.

Just because he couldn't recognize the warrior he gave, he was surprised, and then he looked at Lu Wu with suspicious eyes.

"Xiangzi." Lu Wu knew what Wei Xiang's eyes meant, so it was hard to explain directly without imitating Wei's family. He briefly introduced his training method and said again: "It only has its own shape, and you still need to fight and watch it later."

Wei Xiang was listening to Lu Wu's explanation very seriously. After hearing this, he filtered it in his mind and found out that Lu Wu's training method was quite similar to that of the old Wei family.

He had been observing Lu Wu's micro-expression, and at the same time he believed that Lu Wu was not so brave enough to force the warrior Wei's training method, but he needed to pay attention to it for a while.
