Careerist in Qin Dynasty

Chapter 117 is about to go to war

Lu Ni, Xue Nu and Xiao Yan'er's carriage set off from Jicheng, and the speed was not slow along the way.

As a carriage modified by mechanism technology, it is slightly better than an ordinary carriage in terms of comfort, but it is still not enjoyable during a long journey.

Xiao Yan'er had to study various homework in there every day. The bumps in his body and the torture of complicated knowledge made his face look very ugly.

But her learning efficiency did not decrease much, but she was unable to persist for a long time due to the doubled energy loss.

Therefore, when the three women encountered an inn in a regular small town on the road, they would judge the situation and decide whether to stay and have a good rest before continuing on their way the next day.

It is very dangerous for a combination of two beautiful women and a child to walk in the rivers and lakes, because not everyone with eyes has good eyesight.

When a person is full of lust, he is often unable to make rational judgments. As a result, Lu Ni and Xue Nu's swords were stained with a lot of blood, which was really a disgrace to the scenery.

Lu Ni was okay, she was well-informed and could treat her with a normal attitude, but Xue Nu was different. This was her second time in the world, and she still couldn't control her emotions very well.

So much so that when their carriage stopped at a certain country inn, a ranger with bright eyes was about to introduce himself and try to make friendly friends with two rare and beautiful heroines, but his head was beheaded by the cold-faced Snow Maiden.
Now the fellow rangers in the inn were not happy, and rushed out with swords to demand an explanation. Before they could finish speaking, they were stabbed to death at the door of the inn by the snow girl.

They are now located in the territory of Zhao State, and nominally wanton killing is a felony under any law.But in this world, the scope of law enforcement has always been limited to large towns.

For some quick rangers, even in big cities, as long as they run fast, the cost of committing crimes will not be very high.

But in most cases, there is a tacit understanding that everyone will abide by the law: in the long-term interests of everyone, order is more suitable for survival than chaos.

And if you do too many bad things, you can't guarantee that you won't accidentally die at some point.

The snow girl's methods were too cruel. For this small inn, there were a few stronger people who were ready to act, and were considering whether to act chivalrously. Lu Ni glanced at them, and the cold murderous intention immediately made everyone feel cold. .
"Yuki-onna, come on, let's get out of here."

"Yes, Sister Lu Ni."

The carriage started moving again. After leaving the town, Lu Ni looked at the snow girl who had calmed down. In return for the good treatment she had given Xiao Yan'er after being together for so long, she said:
"Have you encountered a bottleneck in the Jade Soul Art recently?"

"Yes, when did Sister Lu Ni notice it?" Snow Girl can be playful with people close to her, but is as cold as frost to outsiders. This is the result of her life history:
I have been practicing dancing and music in Dantai since I was a child. There is no true love between dancers. As long as you want to perform on stage and get ahead, you have to beat everyone in the same class.

After leaving Tantai, in Jicheng City, Snow Girl could only walk back and forth between Feixue Pavilion and Luqiu Pavilion, and she would not have any extra friends.What's more, it's hard for ordinary people to see her.

Xue Nu's own status is not high, but she has her own arrogance. Currently, only Hall Master Lu and Lu Ni, Ji Yan, mother and daughter who live under the same roof, Xue Nu is willing to get acquainted with.

"I have never learned the Jade Soul Art, but the technique that Hall Master Lu came up with is certainly not ordinary. Since this technique is named after Jade Soul, I think it is necessary to understand the meaning of Jade Soul in order to make progress."

Lu Ni was analyzing her carefully, while Xiao Yaner, who was meditating and practicing rejuvenation exercises in the carriage carriage, was also distracted and listened with pricked up ears:

"Jade is an elegant and beautiful thing. If you have a jade heart, you will achieve success. If you have a jade heart, you will be prone to riots."

"Ayan and I haven't heard you play the flute for a long time. Can you play more along the way?"

"Yes, thank you Sister Lu Ni!"

After thinking about it, the snow girl smiled broadly, nodded and got into the carriage, took out the jade flute from the package, put it to her lips, and started playing it gently
The sound of the white snow movement made the three people's minds go blank, and even the horses' hooves moved incredibly fast.
The planting land allocated to farmers by Li Mu was very large, which reflected the degree of population loss in Zhao State over the years due to wars.

It is not easy for him, Lord Wu'an, to lead the Zhao State to defeat the Qin soldiers in a row, but it only ends here.

If you don't have enough strength to enter Qin's territory, you will never be able to cause enough pain to Qin.With Qin's national power, it can be far superior to any other country when it is restored.

The war machine spliced ​​together with the people of the whole country as parts cannot be resisted by the six scattered Shandong countries.However, under the strict legalist ideology, the people's power has been squeezed to the extreme for a long time, and even after the six countries were unified, they refused to relax at all, which will inevitably lead to the collapse of this war machine.

Lu Wei stood on the ridge of the field and took off his outer robes with Ziwu. The two worked hard all day with the disciples from nearby farmers, and only met the person in charge, Tian Du, in the evening.

"How can Hall Master Lu go to the fields himself!"

Tian Du came in a hurry from a distant town. He looked at Lu Wei with his trousers rolled up and his palms and calves stained with mud, with a look of surprise on his face.

"I am the leader of the farm's Gonggong Hall, why can't I go to the fields?"

Due to the long distance from the field ridge, the hall master had to use his inner strength to shout this sentence loudly, causing the disciples in the nearby halls to accidentally hear it.

Then he quietly glanced at the other Gongtang disciples who were accompanying him. After they nodded firmly, Lu Wei climbed up to the ridge of the field.

This person was Lu Qing's subordinate in Zhuang Town. This time he was arranged to lead the Gonggong Hall disciples to Zhao. He naturally understood what the Hall Master meant: in the next few days, the deeds of Hall Master Lu of the Gonggong Hall will be spread throughout the country. These 1 disciples from various halls!

"Brother Tiandu, I'm just looking for you."

Taking the wet towel handed over by the disciple behind Tian Du, Hall Master Lu smiled and thanked him. He first wiped off the sweat on his forehead, and then wiped off most of the thick layer of dirt on his hands. The originally clean towel quickly turned into dust. Earthy:
"I just arrived today. How are the disciples' farming situation now?"

"." Tian Du's mind went blank for a moment and he stared at the straw hat on Lu Wei's head. The hidden dissatisfaction in his heart because this young man was likely to kill Tian Zhong dissipated a lot: "Master Lu, please go to the residence and take a good bath first. There is hot water there. , let’s talk about work matters over dinner tonight.”

"Okay!" Lu Wei turned to look at Ziwu, who was still working selflessly in the fields, and nodded in agreement.

Two and a half hours later, the two met again.In addition to Tian Du himself, he also brought two assistants to the dinner, both of whom were from the Tian family. "The drought is worse than imagined. According to the estimates of experienced farmers in various villages, this year's drought is more terrible than anything they have ever seen before."

After Lu Wei and Tian Du drank a glass of ice-cold Yandi liquor, they asked the question again. The answer was from one of Tian Du's assistants:
"Zhao's army is very large. Just relying on the disciples in the farmland to cultivate can only meet part of Lord Wu'an's needs. This is thanks to Xia Kui who has collected most of the farming tools and some of the cattle from here since last year. This solves the problem. The biggest problem.”

"Right now, we can only let the disciples work more time and expand the farming area as much as possible."

Tian Du nodded slowly while listening, and then looked at Hall Master Lu.

"I worked for about four hours today. At noon, I sat on the field ridge with my disciples and had lunch. After the meal, I continued to work without stopping. Even if I personally have the internal strength to maintain it, I still feel that the pressure is too much."

The master of the hall frowned: "Besides, the disciples work longer than me. If we increase the working time, will the disciples be unable to bear it?"

Lu Wei also brought two Gonggong Hall disciples to the dinner. The two held their breath and memorized what the hall master said tonight.

"During the farming period, we can only work harder, disciples. Once this period is over, it will be much easier."

Another Tian Du assistant replied helplessly: "Based on the experience of the old farmers in each hall, they think they can sustain it."

"Then we need to give the disciples more treatment!"

Hall Master Lu spoke sincerely: "I will go to Daliang in half a month to handle important matters. In the first half month, I will personally accompany the disciples in farming, experience their pressure, and collect feedback from the disciples."

"Wait until before leaving, and then summarize this information to Brother Tian Du. At that time, Brother Tian Du will make appropriate adjustments to the management method based on the information from all parties. How about that?"

This is a very clear act of buying people's hearts, but what Tian Du doesn't understand is, is this necessary to gain a little favor from the people below?Working in the fields for half a month?Even if there is internal support, this is a meaningless act of self-torture.
"Tian Du admires Hall Master Lu for having this intention!"

------

In the next fifteen days, with the spontaneous publicity by Gonggong Hall disciples and some other disciples, everyone knew that there was a hall master who was working with everyone.

The response was not as great as expected, but they remembered the name Lu Wei.

As for whether it will be useful in the future after remembering it, it depends on the fermentation results over time.
"The hall wants to win people's hearts. In fact, three or five days of work is enough. Why does it take so long in this farmland?"

Ziwu helped Lu Wei hold the plow and asked in a low voice, confused.

He worked very hard in the first few days in the farmland, thinking about his identity as a farmer's disciple.But as time went by, I became tired of it and no longer had any curiosity about farming.

"Winning people's hearts is certainly a goal, but experiencing the burden of farming first-hand is also real."

The hall master's palms were muddy, so he had to wipe the sweat off his forehead with his arm, but when he raised his hand, he still shook a few drops of mud on his hair:

"The people at the bottom are extremely miserable. After paying taxes on their farming income, it is already difficult to support their own family. Year after year of hard work, as long as there is a slight change in the sky, the whole family may collapse."

"I personally try their lives for a period of time. After remembering this feeling, if I have the opportunity to gain a little power in the future, I will always let these people survive."

"Aren't they alive now?"

"They are alive now, but they may die at any time tomorrow."

Lu Wei said with firm eyes!

After a while, this conversation was leaked by someone and spread among the disciples in the countryside.
The fifteen days of concentration passed quickly. After taking off his farm clothes and putting on a new set of Chinese clothes, the master of the hall smiled and rode his horse with Ziwu towards the border of Zhao and Wei, as if he had completely forgotten the labor experience.
And further south on the Zhaowei border, on the south bank of the Yellow River.

Wei Zhuang, a Korean general with long white hair, stood alone, holding the shark-tooth sword with both hands, staring silently at the turbulent water of the Yellow River.

In his sight, a young man in white clothes on the other side of the river quickly approached the Yellow River.And just when he was about to fall into the river, the young man's speed not only continued, but also accelerated a bit.

Then, he actually flew up on the river bank!

Putting his toes gently into the air, he crossed the defense line of nature: the river in one breath.

It wasn't until it landed next to Wei Zhuang, where he had just stepped, that a few pieces of light white feathers slowly floated into the river, were swept into the river bottom by the turbulent current, and continued to flow eastward.
"The Qin army has gathered in the Nanyang area, and further upstream, they have also prepared ferries."

"Within this month, they will definitely go south."

"What is supposed to come, will come." Wei Zhuang said in a low voice. The strong wind on the river bank today blew his long hair and robe hanging on his chest:
"Bai Feng, let me know, we will fight the Qin army here."

"If you win, you will get a chance to breathe. If you lose, your blood will return to the boundless distance together with the river water."

Bai Feng, who was dressed in white, didn't respond. He only took a step back, and his figure disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.

Wei Zhuang was still standing here alone. His sight seemed to cross the Yellow River and pass through dozens of kilometers of space. He saw the black-armored Qin soldiers in the Qin army's camp and saw the sharp cold light on their long swords.
With a clang of swords, General Wei Zhuang pulled out his shark-tooth sword and danced a piece of Guigu horizontal swordsmanship unscrupulously: just for the river in front of him, just for the earth beneath his feet.
Not knowing that war was about to break out in Korea, the hall leader had just crossed the border into Wei. During the chat, he drew a cake for Ziwu next to him:
"Your Zhaodan Sword needs a scabbard that fits better. Only in this way can you cherish the sword. When you return to Daze Mountain, there are the best craftsmen there, and they will definitely make your sword satisfied!"

"Thank you Hall Master Lu!"

Ziwu clasped his fists and expressed gratitude. He had no idea that the master of the hall had promised to find the best machine teacher for Lu Mu. However, it turned out that Lu Mu himself was able to create a machine beast, but this promise had not yet come true.
