Chapter 168: The situation is so wrong!(1/2)

Wei is not yet a "qing"!

Do you know what a large area it is from the original border line of Jin State to the Jingshui River?

It was a land of tens of thousands of square kilometers, which was larger than the overall area of ​​many vassal states in the Central Plains, and even two-tenths of the size of Jin State!

Not to mention Wei, no family of Qing is allowed to eat it alone.

The king gave the Wei family a piece of land. Is he trying to keep the Wei family to death?

Or is it that the king disliked the Wei family and wanted to use the Wei family as a target to lure the other families to attack them?

Lu Wu came back to his senses and thought, "Does the reward be formulated by the marshal? Will the final plan be presented to the monarch? Is it Luan Shu doing something or is it another trouble?"

Wei Rui spoke again and said, "Wei dare not accept it."

That's right!

Tens of thousands of square kilometers of land, not to mention that most areas are deserted, no matter how well they develop, no one can eat it.

With that piece of land, as long as you have some vision, no one can tell that it will be a grain-producing area after development.

The Qin State did not carry out development because their national strength did not allow it.

Next is that Qin State is afraid of the power of Jin State. Many nobles were a little scared when they thought of being neighbors with Jin State.

Lu Wu just didn't understand one thing.

Why did the rest of the monarch family do not do it?

Maybe it is because the Wei family’s fief is nearby, which can form a connection relationship?

Or maybe someone from Wei’s family has provoked the king recently?

Lu Wu had no time to entertain Liang Qi.

Liang Qiba refused to let Lu Wu pay attention to him.

Subsequently, some new news is sent.

Qin did surrender, but also surrendered more thoroughly.

In this era, cedes territory belong to a "minority", which usually means admitting defeat and giving enough money and population.

Luan Shu insisted on letting Qin ced the territory.

Lu Wu was not sure whether Qin State had ceded its territory in the original history. He only knew that this time Qin State was beaten and seriously injured. It was difficult to breathe without decades.

Luan Shu had a very tough attitude towards Qin and threatened that once Qin did not cede land, Jin would attack Qin again.

The king of Jin may not be effective, but the marshal's words spit out and a nail. All the vassal states know the ecology of Jin's rule.

The reason why Luan Shu toughly demanded that Qin State ced its territory was to feed several noble families and alleviate the tension of these "Qing" in China.

The big family fights over and over again, except for power, it is the need for interests.

No matter how fierce the Jin State fights, unless one or several companies join forces to defeat one "Qing" or several "Qing", which will make the Qing position more vacant, or the Qing position will be replaced according to the order.

Simply put, it is the rule of ranking replacement.

With the current international environment, several "qings" in Jin State will fight to the death if they are broken.

Luan Shu knew that he couldn't fight. Because he had multiple positions, his position was given the responsibility he had to fulfill and could not watch the situation continue to be chaotic.

He wanted to feed some "Qing" meat and also drink soup for the small and medium-sized nobles, but he didn't expect the king to come out to make trouble again!

Harvest season is coming.

Every family is busy harvesting crops, and Jin State has entered a period of cessation of struggle.

Wait until the harvest is completed, and new crops are still to be planted.

The situation in Jin State has stabilized for nearly a month and a half.

One day, a team from Xintian arrived at the "yin" land.

They came over and called him directly to see Lu Wu.

The leader who came turned out to be Qi Xi?

As soon as he saw Lu Wu, he laughed loudly. After laughing enough, he complained: "Why haven't you been going to see me for a long time?"

It seems like this.

Lu Wu promised Qi Xi to visit, but he never took practical actions.

He could only apologize repeatedly, please forgive Qi Xi.

Qi Xi probably just made fun of it. He pointed to the direction of the mountains and said in surprise: "Why is the black dragon spitting out smoke?"

Isn’t that because of smelting metals!

Burning coal will definitely cause smoke. If you burn more, the smoke column will be thicker. You can see the manor halfway up the mountain.

Lu Wu certainly could not tell the truth or lie, so he changed the topic and asked, "Mr. Qi is here..."

In fact, there are not many smoke columns in the mountains. It is only because it looks abnormal in this era that it is so conspicuous.

Lu Wu's name of Qi Xi "Qi Gong" seems very particular.

It is not the Eastern Han Dynasty yet, and it is not like anyone who can call him "public" if you catch anyone.

Now only the descendants of the office can be called "gongzi", and the grandson of a certain king is called "gongsun".

So, if anyone travels through time and calls someone "Young Master", it will not only harm that person, but also not wanting to live anymore.

Lu Wu called "Qi Gong" to compliment Qi Xi's reputation among the royal family.

There are not many people in the Duke of Jin who can show off. Qi Xi is one of the higher positions in the army, and his family is not weak.

More importantly, Qi Xi is very smart and has always been very clear-headed.

After a banquet, it was time to speak.

Qi Xi told Lu Wu about Qin State.

Some of them were known to Lu Wu before, and more were the parts that did not find out.

These include Qin State who wanted to redeem the captured Qin people.

It seems that the new king of Qin knew the key, that the land could be taken back if occupied, and the sharp decline in population for a while would have a more deadly impact on Qin.

The Qin State is in the semi-agricultural and semi-nomadic stages, and the Qin Court can actually mobilize far fewer people than imagined.

Otherwise, how could a country with a population of 1.8 million be able to mobilize 60,000 soldiers with all its efforts?

It only means that the number of nobles that Qin Jun can actually restrain, and more nobles will either not be able to be transferred, or they will need to spend more time to transfer.

Lu Wu was very concerned about whether Jin State would like to return Qin prisoners of war.

The old Lu family won 13,000 Qin prisoners this time, not the most, but not the least.

This batch of labor force is crucial to the current old Lu family. Once taken back, the construction progress will inevitably be fatal.

Qi Xi said: "When Qin State cuts the land, the emperor summons meritorious ministers. Yin Zi has made great contributions, so he must be present."

Speaking of which, Lu Wu's greatest contribution in that battle was not anything else, but his breaking of the "Yong" city gate.

This is an extremely humiliating Qin State, but it is an act that greatly enhances Jin State's prestige.

The future intention shows that Qi Xi does not want to delay too much, so he left again without stopping.

Of course, the king has the power to summon vassals.

However, in Jin State, it is usually summoned by the marshal.

Lu Wu did not set off immediately, he needed to wait.

After waiting, Luan Shu's call came true.

"Now there are not many 'Qing's' who are willing to keep their face for the king. Luan Shu will be one." Lu Wu saw this thoroughly and thought: "Luan Shu is a marshal and ruler after all, and the basis of power lies in the country, and he needs to keep his face for the country."

However, he felt that Luan Shu couldn't bear it for long.

As a marshal, ruling and rank-in general, Luan Shu took care of the face of the king because of his duties. As the king continued to mess around, his patience would always be wiped out.

Lu Wu arranged what the family should do, mobilized 500 samurai and 1,000 people, and embarked on the road to Xintian.

Along the way, they met many teams who were going to Xintian.

As usual, each team will not approach it deliberately, and will even prepare for precautions.

This time, the war against Qin won a great victory, and the meritorious ministers received too few rewards.

Lu Wu knew in advance that there would definitely be another turmoil.

It is a big taboo to not reward merits!

The king has no more land that can be rewarded. The additional benefits of promotion are to increase fiefdoms. For example, Lu Wu was promoted but lacked the reward of land, so the reward was not complete.

Most of the land in Jin State was in control by several "Qing" and their land has always increased and decreased.

It means that unless the "Qing" in Jin loses the position of the noble, they can step down by themselves or be attacked and killed, otherwise the current land situation of Jin will be difficult to change.

This is also the reason why the Jin State is currently governing the ecology.
