Chapter 704: Yin Clan, Fan Clan, Xun Clan
In one sentence, Shi Yi felt scared and then became extremely excited.
It’s obvious that Lu Wu is going to do something big!
Although Shi Yi couldn't think of what Lu Wu was going to do for the moment, he recalled some of the things Lu Wu had done, and it seemed that he could find a trace of clues.
But, Shi Yi thought about it again and again, overturned his guesses again and again. The more he thought about it, the more he became more confused, and in the end he turned into a muddy brain.
"What do you want to do?" Shi Yi wanted to admit that he was a little scared.
The Yin family is very strong, not the Fan family that has accumulated over generations. It has risen and grown in a very short time.
Nearly twenty years is still short? Compared with those families that have accumulated over several generations and have spent more than a hundred years, twenty years have indeed become short.
If Lu Wu is given twenty years, he will develop a family with a population of more than one million and a fiefs account for about two-tenths of Jin State. What will happen if he gives another twenty years?
In fact, the nobles of Jin State knew that the Yin family was very strong, and how strong it was determined by the number of fiefs. They saw the strength of the family army. They did not calculate the control area, population, resources and various reserves, and the concept was very vague.
This is also related to the knowledge level and inherent concepts of the current era. The knowledge people can learn is very limited. In the inherent concept, the number of cities and grain production areas is used to measure the strength of a family, and there is really no related concept in the rest.
Therefore, in everyone's opinion, the Fan family is the well-deserved first family in Jin State. For nothing else, the Fan family has the largest number of cities and controls about three or four out of ten grain-producing areas in Jin State. For example, because the population is difficult to count, outsiders rely on guessing the amount of money that their family has, so people are unwilling to use more dead brain cells to infer and calculate, and finally quantify them.
In fact, the Yin family currently has the largest population in Jin State, or it can be said that it has the largest number of families among all the "Oriental World", and the number including slaves has exceeded two million.
In terms of grain production areas, Lu Wu has never relaxed the cultivation of farmland. He first established a grain production area with "yin" land. Later, he gradually developed the "Lu" land. Every time he obtained a new fief, he would cultivate farmland. It was because the grain production area was too scattered, and there was no single fief under his name and the production environment and output was more than Fan's, so it did not cause any sensation. The big guy naturally ignored it.
Another point is that the Yin family has never stopped purchasing grain from the outside, and in a closer look, they give each family the impression that the Yin family lacks food.
They didn't know that even if Yin could be self-sufficient, they did not give up on the purchase of grain. They stored more than 2.5 million stones of various types of grain within Huo Taishan alone, and the reserve grain for the other fiefdoms ranged from 100,000 stone to 300,000 stone.
Each fiefdom in Yin family has at least 100,000 stones of grain reserve, which means that once there is a need, it can be taken out and given to the army for use.
A hundred thousand stones of food is enough for 10,000 troops to eat for about a year, and it is purely for emergency response. Within a year, the local army has not moved, and it is likely that it will either be successful in breaking through or being destroyed. Even if it is a local stalemate and not receiving rescue, it is equivalent to being given up.
Lu Wu also harvests various grains every year and adopts the strategy of consuming old grains to reserve new grains, so that each family is in a situation where the Yin family is very short of food.
Nowadays, people only have one definition of a family that is not able to manage their families.
Then the nobles became a contradictory view of the Yin family. On the one hand, they believed that Lu Wu was awesome, but on the other hand, they felt that Lu Wu didn't seem to be able to manage the family business.
They did not expect that Lu Wu had been purchasing grain for some reason, nor did they think deeply about how Yin, which made various farming convenience tools such as water trucks, produced very little grain, and only defined it based on their own cognition. At this point, the evaluation is incorrect, and there are even fewer places in the overall situation.
In fact, if there is no natural disaster or man-made disaster, the grain produced by Yin will be able to be self-sufficient and even have surplus to reserve.
One thing that must be said is that, except for the Yin family, other families have almost no habit of storing large amounts of grain. They will sell the grain and purchase the materials they lack.
The head of the Yin family is Lu Wu. It is hard to say about people from other eras. Who was born in the flower planting family and rolling up their sleeves when they founded their foundation?
The strategy of the flower planter is that it is not necessary that I have what others have, but I must have it too!
Therefore, at some difficult time, even if the Yin family was rejected by all families and the internal types of industries were sufficiently supported, there would be no problem in playing domestic production and use.
Of course, from Lu Wu's perspective and requirements, Yin's family has not yet reached the level of perfection and has been slowly accumulating and completing the shortcomings.
Lu Wu did not answer Shi Yi's question. The two looked at each other silently for a long time, and the atmosphere became inexplicably tense.
"Well!" Shi Yi first admitted his timidity, sighed lowly, and said, "I am not as good as you, so I can learn from you. If the Yin family does not become enemies of the Fan family, it is a close friend of the Fan family, and it is possible to have an alliance."
Lu Wu stretched out his hand.
Shi Yi also stretched out his hand.
The two of them made a sworn with a high-five and completed the alliance between Yin and Fan.
But Shi Yi was still unwilling to give up. After a while, he asked, "Awu, what do you want to do?"
If Lu Wu did not reveal any information, his alliance with Fan would seem to be insincere enough, and he said seriously: "There are many families in the country and many disputes. I want to make the inherent fields of each 'Quan' to merge each 'Quan' to achieve their own lives, and then follow the old affairs of Henggong, so that it will shock the whole world."
ah?
Involving internal mergers???
I've wanted to do this for a long time.
What a good thing!
Shi Yi's face changed for a moment, and he suddenly said, "The Yin family monopolizes the northern border and wants to plot against the western border? In this way, when will Awu clear the Wei family?"
"Shi Yi thought of something, how could there be such a stupid problem?" Lu Wu was a little confused by Shi Yi, complained in his heart, and denied it: "Wei is also a 'qing'. Even if he is not in harmony with Yin, how dare I deal with it."
Shi Yi didn't believe it anyway, and thought that Lu Wu was really hypocritical, and said, "Xie Shuo resigned from the position of Qing, probably Han Qi was the 'Qing'. Yin family wanted to send other people, Yin family, Jie family, and Han family to join the Wei family. Without Dali, how could Jie resign from the position of Qing?"
Is that the case? It's a bit unimportant.
Lu Wu simply shut up and looked at Shi Yi with a speechless expression.
"Han's regained his position as a noble family and has no benefit from my family. How can Awu compensate me?" Shi Yi felt that he had finally suppressed Lu Wu once, and he felt so happy.
Lu Wu smiled bitterly, with an expression that he had any requests.
Shi Yi said, "'Original' has belonged to me, can't you? If I have a disagreement with Zhao Wu, what will you do?"
So, sure enough!
The Fan family still wants to dominate the south. The first step is to choose Zhao Wu, who is weak and has little presence among the "Qing", and then we should negotiate to replace the fiefdoms with the rest of the "Qing". If the agreement is inappropriate, we will use our own means.
Lu Wu inexplicably felt a sense of familiarity, and for a moment he couldn't remember where he had seen similar routines.
"Even if I go east, the Xun, the Zhao, and the Wei family have my own benefits, so why don't I think about Fan's family?" Lu Wu was quite strong on this point, and said, "If Fan wants to get 'warm', I will say that harmony is the case."
If you can get the "warm" land without tearing your face, what is there to be dissatisfied with Shi Yi? When he saw the sincerity shown by Lu Wu, he was satisfied and said in his heart: "In the land of Rong, Yin clan got the Rong of Yiluo, Luhun clan, and the Man clan belonged to me."
Judging from the terrain, the Yiluo Rong is in the west and accounts for the largest area.
The attack on Zhurong was Fan's claim, and whether the Fan's progress was smooth or not, it declared "ownership". It was indeed a reward for directly placing the entire Yiluo Rong to the Yin family.
Shi Yi was a little confident and said again: "If Yin helped me get Zheng, I can also help Yin to destroy Wei."
After going around, why did you mention Wei again?
This is because Shi Yi believed that Lu Wu had ambitions for the Wei family. Wei Qi was in charge of the Wei family and it was difficult for the Yin family to take the lead. After Wei Jiang became the leader of the Wei family's various operations, even if the Yin family took the lead, others would at most say that the Yin family was domineering and would not think that Yin had no reason to attack the Wei family.
Lu Wu did not agree or refused, but changed the topic and said, "I want to help Xun's family merge with Changdi, pointing his sword at Weiguo."
When Shi Yi heard the song, he knew the meaning of elegance and said cautiously: "Fan can help you, how can Xun repay me?"
An alliance is not just a waste of time, forming a friendly relationship, and then mutual benefit.
Lu Wu simply sent someone to invite Wu from the Bank of China.
After Wu from the Bank of China came, he did not ask any questions. He sat aside and listened to Lu Wu and Shi Yi talking about his outlook after the victory in the battle for hegemony. Hearing that the Yin and Fan were willing to help Xun expand eastward, he was not happy, but rather frightened.
Now there is no saying "There is no free lunch in the world", and anyone who should understand the truth understands it.
Wu from the Bank of China saw Lu Wu and Shi Yi staring at him with bright eyes and said, "Wu Yiyuan's military leader is the leader, but he also pointed out, how dare he refuse to obey?"
Lu Wu continued to laugh.
Shiji is a single-minded MMP.
Then, Wu of the Bank of China must make such a statement. He must have a firm attitude when holding any thigh and cannot learn from Zheng State to jump left and right.
Wu, the Central Army, turned to look at Shi Yi and said, "The Xun family can help the Fan family. Wu doesn't know what the Central Army's assistants are trying to do?"
It's showing its position again.
It is the boss’s own business that the boss plays with. As a younger brother, it is a serious matter to follow the boss’s pace, so as not to make a fool of himself without understanding the situation and making his boss think.
Shi Yi was very unhappy, and then he thought that Wu from the Bank of China was such a person, and it seemed that he was more necessary to win over him.
Lu Wu entered the moment of relaxation and thought: "No matter whether Wu of the Bank of China is really acting, the performance is more important. The three companies are developing in three directions, and the pressure is not all pressing on the Yin family. Should the three companies divide Jin, or two, or even decide a big winner in the end, the situation will be done anyway."
