Spring and Autumn I Am King

Zhao Wuxi let the driver drive forward, only to see Yanghu wearing the red and black Lu Zhan court clothes today. He wears a crown, a broad forehead, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a thick beard under his chin, showing his masculinity. Domineering.

Wu Xie thought to himself, Yang Hu is worthy of being the one who accompanies the ministers to take charge of the country's life. His forceful aura is very obvious. Now the political situation of Lu country has a tendency to become unstable, and he must find a way to get rid of chestnuts in the fire and maximize his own interests. .

The carriage passed by Zhao Wuxi at the wrong end, and Yang Hu also looked him up and down.

Today, Zhao Wuxi is wearing a traditional white-ground black bird pattern deep coat and a mysterious head. Although he is not particularly handsome, he has his own temperament. .

Yang Hu thought to himself: "I thought that the fifteen or six-year-old Ruzi was able to build two towns in Pubei by relying on his father's shadow. When I saw him today, he was not ordinary. Although he was young, he couldn't hide his heroic spirit. I made a friendly gesture to him before, but I did the right thing by inviting him into Lu."

"It's just this ordering ceremony, because I went to Yangguan to set up defense, so I let Liu Xiaji and Meng Shi take advantage of the loophole and let Zifu be an envoy. I don't know what he said, in short, I didn't have a good word for me. , Now I have to fight hard to make Zhao Wuxi officially my henchman. On the one hand, I can strengthen my military power in the west of Lu State, and on the other hand, I can indirectly connect with Zhao Yang of Jin State and get the support of Jin State!"

The two of them had their own thoughts, but after watching for a while, they laughed together.

"There is no fear, I am young and weak, He Dehe can let you go out to greet me."

Yang Hu said loudly: "I was in the alliance with the three ministers of the Jin State in Wadi a month ago. I admired the style of the military officer of the Central Army. Now I can see Zitai again. It's really fortunate, how can I not meet each other? !"

Zhao Wu Xie cupped his hands and replied, "Wu Xie once heard his father's praise that Yang Zi of Lu Guo is the one who holds the bull's ear in the League, and it is thanks to the lord who ran back and forth that the matter of entering Lu was made possible. In the future, he will be a Lu Chen and hope that there will be more Yang Zi. Support and teach.”

In his call, he did not treat Yang Hu as the slaughter of Ji's clan like Zhao Yang did, but treated him as if he were in power of the State of Lu. This attitude made Yang Hu overjoyed.

After the greeting. The carriages of the two drove away side by side, Yang Hu paid no attention to Zifu, the doctor under the emcee of ceremonies at the pedestrian station, who was the envoy, while Zhao Wuxi turned his head and smiled apologetically at Zifu He. Said he was helpless.

Zifuhe's face was cloudy and uncertain, facing Yanghu's power and domineering, Sanhuan was helpless, not to mention he was a small sect of the Meng clan. He could only follow behind with Zhao Wuxi's entourage, eating the dust of the two carriages and horses.

Walk side by side with Yanghu's carriage. Zhao Wuxi deliberately looked around with the mentality of a tourist who came to a foreign country at the beginning of the year: "Qufu is the ruins of the Shaohao clan, the hometown of the Zhao clan with the surname Ying, this time I enter the city, I can get the Hao Society and the Shaohao Temple to worship one. Fan."

Yang Hu laughed: "These two places are also very lively on weekdays, and I would like to lead them."

Since Shaohao was gone, Qufu became the territory of Houyi's poor clan. In the Yin and Shang times, it was the land of the Yuan Kingdom. After the Shang Yuan was conquered, the era of the barbarians came to an end.

Zhou Gong's eldest son Bo Qin was sealed here, and then attacked Dongyi and Huaiyi. A large country south of Mount Tai has been developed, and it is the leader of the eastern princes after Qi Taigong. There is a poem as proof: "The king said his uncle, Jianer Yuanzi, served the Hou Yulu. Daqieryu was the assistant of the Zhou family."

The state of Lu was still very powerful until the time of Lu Huan and Zhuang Ergong. At that time, it was known as "a thousand bus rides, Zhu Ying and green cloth, two spears and heavy bows, and 30,000 apprentices."

However, the current state of Lu is not as brilliant as it used to be. When the military strength of other countries increased, the State of Lu had shrunk from a country of a thousand to nine hundred, and was forced to the north by the State of Qi, and could only open up to the east-southern countries of Ju, Zhu and other Dongyi countries. However, Lu Jun's combat effectiveness is worrying. It was often counterattacked by these two countries, and was constrained by Jin and Qi, so it made little progress and was reduced to a second-rate country.

However, although the State of Lu was down and out, the first impression of Guo outside the city of Lu to Zhao Wuxi was still majestic and majestic, no less than Xin Jiang.

The plan of the outer city of Lu City is an irregular rectangle with rounded corners. The longest point from east to west is 7 miles, the widest point from north to south is 5 miles, and the circumference is more than 20 miles. There are a total of 11 city gates, with three gates on the east, west and north sides, and two gates on the south side. There are pheasant gates outside each majestic city gate, and piers for gate towers are also built on the side.

The gate of the city is wide, 30 feet high and 50 feet wide, which can accommodate Zhao Wuxi and Yang Hu's two horse-horse chariots entering side by side, and more than half of the space can be left.

The hundreds of soldiers who followed Zhao Wuxi filed in had not yet recovered from the darkness under the city gate, and countless noisy and lively sounds had already been heard.

Zhao Wuxi's subordinates started from Shangqiu and had seen several capitals of states. Compared with the old style of Yin and Shang in Shangqiu, the capital of Song Dynasty, the hustle and bustle of Taoyi, the capital of Cao, is all beneficial, but the interior of Lu City is much more conservative and retro, and it has a little family spirit of Lu people, so most of them look calm and calm.

The soldiers were left in the barracks of Waiguo, and Yanghu sent people to settle them properly, while Zhao Wuxi and Zifuhe continued to go to the inner city with Yanghu.

They entered from the west gate of Waiguo, and most of the market shops in Lucheng are in the east, and here are Lilu and workshops. Even so, the road is already very lively: high-rise buildings and low-rise buildings are stacked on top of each other, and handicraft workshops such as copper smelting, iron smelting, bone-making, and pottery-making are very densely arranged, and there is a choking smell from time to time.

The state of Lu was heavy on agriculture, and business was not as prosperous as Song, Cao, and Wei, but the handicrafts controlled by the government were also very developed. Because at the beginning of the founding of the country, Boqin was divided into "six ethnic groups of the Yin people" with their own strengths. Among them, the Suo clan made ropes, and the Changsao clan and the Changwei clan made wine vessels. a good handicraft foundation.

Nowadays, the cutting of the state of Lu, the jade, shoes, towel and hat of the state of Lu are very famous, and like the sword of Wuyue, "it is not good to move to its place", which is a special product of the state of Lu.

The number of craftsmen in the state of Lu was also very large. In the second year of Duke Chenggong of Lu, when the hegemony of the state of Chu extended to the border of the state of Lu, the Mengsun clan went to ask for peace and offered 300 woodworkers and female weavers at one time. During the war between Qi and Lu the year before, the potters in Yuncheng and Yangguan on the border were also plundered by Qi people, resold to Xinjiangren City, and bought by Zhao Wuxi.

"When I leave Qufu, I also have to bring some craftsmen back. Since the base area is already there and there is no shortage of manpower, it is time to relocate some of the pottery kilns in Jin State. In addition to casting and smelting, there are other handicraft industries that must be established as soon as possible. ."

Zhao Wuxi firmly believes that technology is still the primary productive force.

Gradually, the city center arrived, and I saw a straight and magnificent street. Enough to accommodate three or four carriages in parallel, the street was rammed like hard soil, and the road was paved with river pebbles, and horses' hooves stepped on it. There was a rattling sound, and the roadside ditches were filled with stones, and the city outside the ditches was forced to the side.

The bustling passers-by walked on both sides, and there were many high-ranking scholars and doctors on the carriages and ox carts. Most of the cars are coaches. The precious ornaments are extravagant, and the outside is covered by a curtain, and the people inside cannot be seen. Occasionally, the fragrance of a woman wafts out of it.

There were also a few young warriors with luxurious clothes and high spirits, and the followers behind them seemed to be erect temples, but they were all dressed in silk and belts with short swords. They drove on the sidewalk, galloping straight ahead, and everyone on the street retreated. No one dared to complain. But after seeing Yang Hu head-on, these aristocratic teenagers all shrank their heads and their heads, daring not to block his way, and also curious about who the young gentleman who could keep pace with Yang Hu was.

"These are the children of the public clan." Yang Hu tilted his head to explain.

"There is not much else in the Lu country, that is, there are many clans, and they only fight dogs and **** every day, and they have no other talents."

Yang Hu's attitude was contemptuous. He was from a humble background and now he is above the nobles of the royal family. Hearing that Zifu, who was also a public clan behind him, became more and more dissatisfied, but Zhao Wuxi was moved after hearing this.

If most of the aristocrats of the state of Lu are like this. If you open a branch of the extravagant industry in Qufu, the business should be good.

Zigong has established a firm foothold in Taoyi, and he has some considerable money and silk in his account every month, but it is said that the witty Zheng people have also built a high imitation luxury place in Xinjiang. Almost completely copied the ideas of Zhao Wuxi and Zigong. This cottage came so early, it made Wuxi laugh and cry. Fortunately, the core technology of porcelain has not yet been understood.

Low-end technologies such as stone grinding can be said, but do you want to imitate porcelain? Even Zhao Wuxi, who had been in a pottery class in his previous life, led the potters to study for half a year before he succeeded, and it wasn't a skill that could be lit up with just a touch in the game.

in history. This skill did not develop until the Eastern Han Dynasty. In the following 1,500 years, it was exported to all parts of the world through land, sea and land foreign trade. But in addition to China, whether it is West Asia or Japan, imitation products are still in the primary stage of the original porcelain, and cannot reach the technical height of Chinese porcelain.

Zifu, who was caught off guard by Yang Hu himself, followed the carriages running side by side in front of him unhappily. When he reached a fork in the official district, he suddenly realized that something was wrong, so he grabbed the imperial guard's eight bridles and galloped ahead. In the middle of the road, said aloud:

"Yangzi, Doctor Zhao, please stop!"

Under the shock of Yang Hu's soldiers, spears and halberds were aimed at this rash young doctor.

"Hold on, hold on!" Zhao Wuxi hurriedly stopped them, and Yang Hu also waved his hands slightly, signaling everyone to step back.

"Doctor Zifu, what is this doing?"

Zifu He Fangcai faced Ge Mao and broke out in a cold sweat, but he didn't retreat. He said loudly, "Without him, it's just that we went the wrong way, and we just made a correction."

Yang Hu supported the long sword at his waist and sneered: "Wrong way? Today I'm going out to Ying Zitai, and I want to invite him to my mansion for a banquet. Now the six animals have been slaughtered, and the wine has been filtered with a balsam. How can you go wrong when the guests arrive?"

"As a doctor in the state of Lu~www.readwn.com~, of course, after entering the capital, Zitai must first visit the three nobles before accepting the invitation of his private ministers to a banquet. We should go to the official temple in the west, not the east. Yangzi's private house!"

Faced with Zifu He's refusal to give in an inch, Yang Hu's face was full of blue veins. He now regards himself as the ruler of the state of Lu. He hates being called a "private minister" the most. Speech blocked.

"You two calm down. It's Wu Xie's failure to set the schedule first, which caused a misunderstanding. It's my fault."

Yang Hu's Zifu He Du turned his attention to Zhao Wuxi.

"What Yi Zitai means, which way should we go first?" (To be continued.)
