Chapter 62: Don't be impulsive, Gou Yibo!
Nowadays, farming mainly involves sowing beans, rice, millet, sorghum and wheat.
For planting in the north, beans, millet and millet will mainly beans.
Shu is the general term for various beans.
Ji, also known as 香港, is very suitable for planting in dry fields.
Milk is millet, and after processing it becomes millet.
The beans are soybeans, black beans and red beans, edamames... etc.
Several of Lu Wu's wives contained a lot of seeds in their dowry, and he purchased a batch in Xintian.
The seeds of the old Lu family are not a problem. They need to depend on what kind of seeds to plant in what kind of fields.
But these Lu Wu did not interfere, mainly to the retainers who were good at farming.
He is personally responsible for the planning of the irrigation system.
Next to this area is the Fen River, with many streams branching out from the Fen River, among which there are many streams running through the plains of the "yin" land.
What the old Lu family needs to do is plan how to dig the canal.
Lu Wu personally inspected and discussed with his retainers, and then divided the labor again.
Spring is an extremely busy season.
Only those with little industry can get free.
If there is a permanent property, everyone will be like a gyro and they are busy all the time.
During the command process, Lu Wu discovered that the slaves from Zhao were really not good at doing farm work, and the dowry slaves from Han were the ones who were the most capable of doing farm work.
However, the slaves of the Zhao family were better than those of the Han family in engineering construction.
The slaves who were dowed by Wei can do anything, but they are not so capable.
Of course, no matter who these slaves belonged to before, they are now owned by the old Lu family.
Doing farm work is a boring and repetitive process, and the whole process is full of wind and sun, and it is bitten by mosquitoes, which is very bitter.
Waiting for the spring plowing to be completed, the rest is to develop an irrigation system in advance. Lu Wu's energy can be considered to be able to focus on family force.
Before going to war, there were only more than fifty warriors under Lu Wu, including the temporary armed forces of the lords who were promoted for training, which was 120.
After going to Shinta to get married, the number of warriors under his command increased by 1,600.
It means that his title was promoted, his fiefdom was expanded, and his military power also increased.
To gather a total of 1,720 warriors, nearly 35,000 labor force is needed to be considered a reasonable structure.
The number of slaves on Lu Wu's list is about 8,000, while the number of people is about 15,000.
Among the people, there are about 7,000 people who can be regarded as labor force?
In other words, Lu Wu actually only has about 15,000 labor force.
Fortunately, the warriors also have their own family, and they also have their own slaves. They usually have no salary, so they will arm themselves and take them to consume when they go to war.
As long as Lu Wu can bear the rewards of warriors after making meritorious service and fail to overdue the deadline, support can still be supported. However, if something unexpected happens, it is very likely that it will collapse suddenly.
If the Han family and Wei family are not considered to be civilians, they have nearly 100,000 slaves, and the fewer ones are more than 70,000. In terms of warriors, the Han family has two divisions (13,000 people), while the Wei family has more than one division (6,500 people).
The Han family is a Qing, but not the strongest Qing. They have just gained a foothold and are in a period of steady development.
Wei is a doctor, and has the strength to compete for the position of a nobleman, but he is still a little short of it.
Which family of a middle-class noble family is not a thousand warriors, at least tens of thousands of people, and more than ten thousand slaves?
So, even though the old Lu family was "melted" by Han, Wei and the two Zhao families, their strength and financial resources were actually quite weak.
Warriors from different families are good at different aspects.
For example, the warriors from Han’s family do not look very burly or strong, most of them specialize in shooting skills, so their arms look a little long; the warriors of Wei’s family look strong, and they also look tall in terms of figure, and they follow the close-fitting route; the warriors of Zhao’s family…
Lu Wuzhen couldn't see what the Zhao warrior was best at.
The warriors from the Zhao family seem to have any fighting skills, but they are not so proficient.
Lu Wu had a little preconceived belief that the main reason was that Zhao had not yet "light up" his talent skills, and he was thinking about whether to train warriors from Zhao to become cavalry.
However, in the current war, there are almost no cavalry.
To measure whether a country is powerful, the first thing to do is to see how many chariots can be deployed, so that there are "country of thousands of chariots" and "country of thousands of chariots" and other terms used specifically to call a strong country.
Nowadays, when you go out to brag, you don’t talk about how many cavalry or infantry your country can gather, but how many chariots your country can deploy.
When they talk about chariots, they actually cover the chariots, that is, how many infantry soldiers are included.
Of course, Lu Wu calculated that he was a warrior, not a warrior, and the difference between the two was very big.
"Bin." Lu Wu general Song Bin summoned him and asked, "Where can I buy a horse?"
Song Bin was mainly responsible for military affairs in the old Lu family. He replied happily as soon as he heard this: "You can go to Huo and Xintian at least; you need to go to the northern border or look for Qin."
Huh!?
Jin and Qin and Bai Di are both rivals, so can they still start trade?
Actually, this is really nothing.
The country will fight to death, and the business will be done as usual.
And without exception, those who can do business are all nobles.
Lu Wu asked again about the price of the war horse.
The answer I got was realistic.
Prices in each place are different, and even the quality of horses is related to price changes.
In general, current horses are actually not too expensive, but it is not that easy to buy a large number of horses that have been tamed and can be used to go to the battlefield.
A very real difference is that it cannot be used as a war horse, even if it is used to pull a chariot.
In addition to the quality of the horse itself, it is more about acquired training.
The taming of a horse is just the first step, and it needs to train it to make it get used to the dense crowd. No matter what you ejaculate, it will not avoid it under the instinct drive, and it will not be scared by any movement or any movement.
To put it more generally, it is necessary to force some of the instincts of the horse to be removed and to make it understand to execute some instructions.
After a while of conversation, Lu Wu became a little disheartened.
The old Lu family really wants to buy war horses, but there is a channel as the premise that the wealth you can buy horses will not exceed 500.
"The Lord is now a junior doctor. He needs to bring twenty chariots and one thousand five hundred soldiers to receive the tax." Song Bin certainly knew that the old Lu family could take it out. He had his own understanding of Lu Wu's desire to increase the war horses and said, "It can be slow."
The title has just been promoted.
The fief under his name is also in the preliminary construction stage.
Next, even if Lu Wu did not bring enough chariots and soldiers to fight in accordance with the regulations within five years, he was not considered a violation of national laws.
Of course, Song Bin hopes that the stronger the military power under Lu Wu’s command, the better, but he knows that everything is too urgent.
He thought that Lu Wu was preparing for the future and had already begun to think about the supplement after joining the war, and he still had to persuade Lu Wu to suppress his turbulent heart.
"Master?" Song Bin hesitated for a moment and asked, "Why worry?"
Lu Wu just thought about whether to train cavalry. When he heard Song Bin's question, he didn't react for a while.
"The Jin and Qin have not yet been marching, and there will be another war this year?" Song Bin summarized and summarized based on the information he received, saying: "The army has received the taxes? The new army is stationed in Huo!"
This is wrong?
It was last year that the army went to participate in the Battle of Huo. Haven’t it been unsuccessful this year?
But Lu Wu said: "The king seeks medical treatment, and the king of Qin sends Bian Que to come."
Because the doctors in China were not well treated, Duke Jing of Jin sent someone to ask Duke Heng of Qin for help.
The two countries have entered a state of hostility, and Qin Henggong still sent a doctor and was already on the way to Xintian.
According to the normal state of the Chinese cultural circle, the Qin State is no matter how restless it is, no matter how much it is, it should... it will not invade again, right?
