The most powerful patriarch in the late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 7 Captain, I'll Do It
"Changle, how do you want to compare?" The old patriarch turned his gaze back to Lu Changle.

"If we go back to our ancestors, this time it's Wen Dou with Yang. They are brothers and sisters. They are about to fight for the ring again. It doesn't matter who gets hurt. Let's compare Wen."

After finishing speaking, Lu Changle pointed to the stone left over from the canal repair beside the ancestral hall and said: "This stone, I am alone, and no helper is allowed. For a stick of incense, I will circle it around the ancestral hall. Changwei, dare you?" ?”

"Don't dare? What a joke! Are you afraid that you will fail?" Lu Changwei raised his eyebrows and agreed without thinking.

I can't stand other people's aggressive generals, especially Lu Changle.

If it is compared to knowledge, it is definitely not as good as Lu Changle;
In terms of strength, Lu Changwei asked himself to let him win with one hand.

Competing with yourself, and your brain is broken?
Neither party had any objections, and the old patriarch agreed to let the two compete.

The second uncle approached the old patriarch and said in a low voice, "Old ancestor, why do you let that bastard mess around?"

There are still three days before the fight for the ring, to be precise, there are still a little more than two days,
Time is so tight, if you don't hurry up to train, you will let Lu Changle mess around?
Grabbing the ring is not about poetry, what can Lu Changle's small physique do?
Yesterday Lu Changle took the initiative to ask for a fight. The second uncle changed his opinion of him, but he didn't agree with his approach.

The old patriarch said calmly: "Nonsense? Not necessarily, let's see, anyway, I can't do anything in three days of training, so I should relax."

There is a sentence that the old patriarch did not say, he is not very satisfied with Lu Changwei.

The advantage of Lu Changwei is that he has great strength, good skill, and dare to fight hard.
The disadvantage is that the brain is not bright, impulsive and reckless.

This time in the battle with the Yang family, several candidates who are suitable to be the captain are either dead or injured, so they can only choose the general from among the short-suffering, and bite the bullet and let Changwei go.

If there is a better candidate, the old patriarch is also willing to replace it.

On weekdays, the old patriarch would definitely not let Lu Changle mess around like this,
For some reason, I always feel that Lu Changle can bring me an unexpected surprise this time.

The main reason is that Lu Changle was too calm, and there was an inexplicable confidence in his calmness.

Strange to say, after Lu Changle was injured, his words and deeds were obviously much more thoughtful, as if he had changed into a different person.

Take the initiative to ask for a fight, and you can also communicate with the barbarians.

That stick, enlightened?

The first to appear is Lu Changwei who likes to show off.

Lu Changwei walked up to the big rock, looked around,
He quickly took out his exercise belt and tied it around his waist, which is convenient for improving Qi and power.

After tying up the belt and warming up briefly, Lu Changwei first glanced at Lu Changle as if in a demonstration, then hugged the stone with both hands,

With a loud shout, under the sun, his toned muscles protruded one by one, and his veins swelled, as if they were about to burst out from under the skin.

Due to the excessive force, Lu Changwei's face turned red, like the red-faced Guan Gong who is singing an opera.

"it is good!"

"Born with supernatural power, Wei Geer is really good."

"This kind of strength is recognized as the second in the clan, and no one dares to recognize the first"

"What does Le Geer think? Comparing his strength, he is no match for Wei Geer. He should humiliate himself."

The old patriarch, second uncle and others on the side also nodded secretly, with a look of approval in their eyes.

Lu Changle's eyes widened, this Lu Changwei is too awesome,
That big stone still wants to carve a stone statue, and it has been weighed, and it weighs eight stones and two buckets.

Replaced by the weight of later generations, it would be about [-] jin.

In later generations, a strong man lifted a weight of [-] jin, and [-] jin could not reach the limit of the human body.
Especially a person who has practiced martial arts for many years and has strong explosive power,
But Lu Changwei is still a boy who is only two months away from turning 17.
It has to be said that Lu Changqing's scalp was numb from his show.

Hearing the cheers, Lu Changwei became even more excited, picked up the heavy stone and walked forward with difficulty,
One step, two steps, three steps. Only when I reached the tenth step did I put it down with difficulty.

The three-inch long incense burnt only half an inch.

Lu Changwei rested for a while, then picked up the boulder and walked forward.

The two made an appointment to circle the ancestral hall with a stick of incense. Whoever has less time will win.

If you can't go around, it depends on who carries the farthest.

I don't think Lu Changle can lift that rock, so Lu Changwei still works hard to move it.

The bigger the gap, the easier it is to hit Lu Changle in the face.

The stone was big and heavy, and Lu Changwei used all his strength to make a half circle around the ancestral hall.

When it was over, Lu Changwei's whole body was soaked, and he sat slumped on the ground, too tired to move a finger.

It was Lu Changle's turn to play.

Lu Jinyuan greeted a few young men, and it took a lot of effort to move the stone back to its original place.

"Changle, let's start." Lu Jinyuan didn't talk nonsense.

As soon as the voice fell, someone lit the timing incense.

Everyone looked at Lu Changle with great interest, to see how he would end up.

With Lu Changle's small body, no one thinks highly of him.

After recovering from his breath, Lu Changwei let go of his harsh words: "If he can move it, I'll eat that stone."

The old patriarch didn't speak, just watched quietly.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Lu Changle was not in a hurry to hug the stone, and unhurriedly pushed a strange two-wheeled vehicle from an empty room next to him.

It's strange, because that car didn't have a lathe, and a tripod was built between the two wheels.

There is a log more than ten feet long on the shelf, and there is a rope at the front of the car.

"Lu Changle, you are lying." Lu Changwei came back to his senses and said angrily, "Who told you to use tools?"

The shape of the car is too strange, for some reason, Lu Changwei has a bad feeling in his heart.

Lu Changle explained while pushing the cart: "Shaking it? Is there any? I only said not to ask for help, I never said not to use tools, you should think about it later."

While speaking, Lu Changle had already pushed the cart in front of the boulder, and began to wrap the boulder with a rope.

Lu Changwei was speechless for a while, opened his mouth to refute, but couldn't find a word for a while.

Lu Changle only said that he was not allowed to find helpers, and he carried the stone around the ancestral hall by himself.

I didn't say that I can't use tools, and I didn't say that I must carry it away.

I chose the most laborious method myself.

Lu Changwei said to the old patriarch with an aggrieved face: "Ancestor, Lu Changle is playing tricks, and you will uphold justice."

The old patriarch stared at the strange car that Lu Changle rolled out, and said without turning his head: "I don't understand it, Changle just took a trick and didn't violate the rules."

When betting with others, you don't even understand the rules, and you don't consider the gains and losses. If you bet on your brain, how can you blame others?
This brain, was sold and counted the money for others,
Can the future of the Lu family in Fuzhou be entrusted to this kind of person?

The old patriarch didn't stop him at first, but felt that Lu Changwei was not the most suitable candidate.

Set up the stone, and withdraw the fork, and the stone weighing eight stones and two buckets will rise slowly, about half an inch from the ground.

The onlookers were all stunned.

Lu Changle adjusted the position of the log, and heaved a long sigh of relief when he saw that the stone was lifted steadily.

To put it bluntly, build a frame on two wooden wheels, and use the principle of leverage to lift the stone.

The weight fell on the two wheels, and Lu Changle tried to push it. Fortunately, although it was a bit difficult, it was no problem to push it.

The ancestral hall is very important to the people of the clan. If the building materials are used well, even the ground around it will be leveled, and it will not take much effort to push it up.

"That's okay too," Lu Jinyuan said with a look of disbelief, his eyes widened like a bull's-eye.

Lu Changle got a strange car for a big rock weighing eight stones and two buckets, and moved it without blushing or panting.

The second uncle rubbed his old eyes, and said to the old patriarch thoughtfully: "Changle books are not read in vain, and the mind of a scholar is an aura."

The timing incense only burned an inch, and Lu Changle circled the ancestral hall with a boulder hoisted on a trolley.

"Cheating!" Lu Changwei said angrily, "If you use a car, I can pull it faster than you. If you don't accept it, I won't accept it."

The second uncle wanted to teach Lu Changwei a few words, but when he saw that the old patriarch hadn't spoken, he hesitated and held back his words.

Obviously, the old patriarch depends on how Lu Changle responds.

Lu Changle said with a smile: "I would like to bet and admit defeat. Why, I can't afford to lose? How about we compare and learn?"

"I'm just unconvinced, I never said I wouldn't admit it." When Lu Changwei said this, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind, and he pointed to the wooden car and said plausibly:

"I said you don't rely on others, Lu Changle, you didn't make this car, at least you didn't make these two wheels. In the final analysis, you violated the rules."

Skilled old carpenters can make wheels, but Lu Changwei knows that Lu Changle can't make them.

"How do you take it?"

"As long as you don't need a car and you can move stones around the ancestral hall, I will accept it."

Lu Changle nodded and didn't say anything else. After getting the consent of the old patriarch, he picked more than a dozen unsplit logs of similar size from the firewood room of the ancestral hall, pried them up using the principle of leverage, and placed the logs under the boulder. Push and release.

In less than a stick of incense, the big stone circled the ancestral hall again.

"I lost." Lu Changwei hesitated for a moment, and finally gritted his teeth and admitted defeat.

Although there is still unwillingness in the eyes.

"Ancestor, this time the arena is staged, and you have to sign a certificate of life and death. The surname Yang is not a good person. As the saying goes, if you break through ten games with one effort, the younger generation feels that Wei Geer also has to play, so it's safer." Lu Jinyuan said a little said worriedly.

Lu Jinyuan is the head of the pillar, and his prestige in the clan is second only to the old patriarch and second uncle. As soon as the words fell, many people nodded in agreement.

The second uncle echoed openly: "Ancestor, Brother Le has a bright mind. Let him join the reserve team. It's a good idea."

Lu Changle has performed well recently, and the second uncle has been watching him all the time, and can't help but speak for him.

Just as the old patriarch was about to nod, Lu Changle suddenly said: "Old ancestor, can I borrow a step, this junior wants to say a few words to you old man."

The request was not too much, and the old patriarch readily agreed.

There was no need to excuse, Second Uncle, Lu Jinyuan and others took the initiative to walk away to make room for the two of them.

"Old Ancestor, if I were to be the team leader to grab the ring this time, I wouldn't dare to say that I would be able to hold down Yang's head. The result would definitely be better than Changwei leading the team," Lu Changle said in an astonishing way.

Not only to join the team, the goal is to be the captain.

The old patriarch did not answer Lu Changle's words directly, but instead asked: "Tell me what you did so early in the morning."

"Back to my ancestors, I secretly went to Shurong Village, climbed a big tree to watch their practice, went to the Dragon King Temple to see the booth, and asked the foreman who built the ring."

I didn't see anyone for most of the day, so I really came prepared.

The old patriarch nodded secretly, and asked, "If you are the captain, how sure are you?"

Regarding this fight for the ring, the old patriarch sent people to inquire and collect information early on,
Unexpectedly, Lu Changle took the initiative to inquire and make a decision. This is what a captain should do.

"Up to [-]%" Lu Changle said frankly: "We are unlucky, a few leaders are injured, and there are still a few good players who can't come back outside. Yang's good players have nothing to lose, and there is one more martial artist Yang Xuan, by the way, they seem to have another set of subtle formations."

These old patriarchs also found out, and asked calmly after hearing the words: "What countermeasures do you have?"

"The enemy must be defeated, only outsmart"

After Lu Changle finished speaking, he lowered his voice and whispered his plan.

Everyone couldn't hear what Lu Changle said, but they saw that the ancestor's face was calm at first, and then gradually became a little surprised, and then nodded frequently after hearing it.

After listening to Lu Changle's plan, the old patriarch did not immediately agree. He stared at Lu Changle for a while and said solemnly: "Your plan is good, it's worth fighting for, but nothing is absolute. If you lose in the ring, the Lu clan will Where to go, have you thought about it?"

Regarding the fate of the Lu clan, the old patriarch had to be cautious.

Lu Chang said confidently: "If you go back to your ancestors, think about it, there are three ways out."

"Oh, tell me," the old patriarch said with some surprise.

"One way out, there is no river water for irrigation, so you can dig a well. The younger generation found a few designs for drawing water from ancient books, and you can use animal power to draw water to irrigate the fields. There are not enough animals. With a little modification, children can easily draw water."

"The second way out is to replant crops that require less water, such as mulberry, hemp, fruit trees, etc. By the way, there is a crop called sweet potato in Quanzhou, which can live as long as there is soil, and the yield is very impressive."

"The third way out is to stop farming and change to other livelihoods, such as tea planting, paper making, wine brewing, etc., to make a living. If you have hands and feet, you are still willing to work, and you can't go hungry."

The old patriarch patted Lu Changle on the shoulder with some emotion: "Okay, okay, okay, I really came prepared, I, the Lu family of Fuzhou, have a character, hahaha"

It is commendable courage to take the initiative to fight,
Unexpectedly, Lu Changle thought so much, even more thoughtful than himself as the patriarch, the old patriarch had to look at him with admiration.

"Brother Le is the captain of this ring. Everyone obeys Brother Le's command. Jin Yuan, you are on the sidelines to assist, and those who violate the rules will be served by the clan rules," the old patriarch finally said.

At first it was Changle, but now it will become Brother Le.

The weight and status have been inadvertently improved.

"Yes, ancestor." The people present quickly agreed.

Regardless of whether there is doubt in the heart, whether or not the heart agrees.

In the three-acre land of the Lu family in Fuzhou, the words of the old patriarch are definitely more effective than the county magistrate.

Lu Changle was not polite either. After thanking the old patriarch, he pointed to the thin monkey who was watching the fun and said, "Skinny monkey, you join the team and go to the ancestral hall to offer incense together."

"Brother Changle, I, I...I can't do it, right?" The thin monkey froze for a moment, then shook his head hastily.

What a joke, just my own small arms and legs, when will it be my turn to grab the ring.

Lu Changle walked over and pulled him into the team: "I said yes, you can, follow."

"Wait..." Lu Changwei couldn't bear it any longer, jumped out and pointed at Lu Changle and said, "Lu Changle, this time grabbing the arena is a big event in the clan, you want to use the public to benefit yourself?
