Chapter 301: Lucheng Qufu
Zhao Wuxian asked the emperor to drive forward, only to see that Yang Hu was wearing a red and black Lu Min court dress today, he was wearing a crane crown, a broad forehead, thick eyebrows, and a thick beard under his chin, showing a masculine and domineering atmosphere.
Wuxian secretly thought, Yang Hu is worthy of being a person who executes the country's life as a courtier, and the compelling momentum is very obvious, and now the political situation in Lu has a tendency to be unstable, so he must find a way to maximize his own interests.
and Zhao Wuxian's carriage staggered, and Yang Hu also looked him up and down.
Today, Zhao Wuxian is wearing a traditional dark coat with a white background and a Xuanduan on his head, although he is not particularly handsome, but he also has his own temperament, he does not hang his head because he is young, but raises his eyebrows and looks at Yang Hu.
Yang Hu thought to himself: "I thought that this fifteen or sixteen-year-old son relied on his father's shadow to build two towns in Pubei. When I saw him today, he himself was not good, although he was young, but it was difficult to hide his heroic spirit, I had shown favor to him before, and invited him to Lu but it was the right thing. ”
"It's just that this fateful ceremony, because I went to Yangguan to set up defenses, so I let Liu Xiaji and Meng Shi take advantage of the loophole, and let Zifu be the messenger. I don't know what he said, anyway, without a good word from me, now I have to fight hard to make Zhao Wuxian officially my henchman. On the one hand, I can strengthen my military strength in the west of the Lu State, and on the other hand, I can indirectly connect with Zhao Ying of the Jin State and get the support of the Jin State! ”
The two of them had their own thoughts, but after looking at each other for a moment, they laughed together.
"No fear, I'm young and weak, how can He De let you come out."
Yang Hu said loudly: "A month ago, I met with the Sanqing Alliance of the Jin State in Wadi, I admired the demeanor of the Chinese army, and now I can see Zitai again, I am really lucky, how can I not welcome him!" ”
Zhao Wuxian replied: "Wuxian once heard my father praise that Lu Guoyangzi is the person who holds the bull's ear in the alliance, and the success of entering Lu is also thanks to the king's running back and forth." In the future, he will also be Lu Chen, and he will hope that Yangzi will carry more teachings. ”
In his call, he didn't even treat Yanghu as Ji's Zai like Zhao Ying, but treated him as if he was in power in the Lu State, and this attitude couldn't help but make Yanghu happy.
After the pleasantries. The carriage of the two drove away side by side, Yang Hu ignored the son of the doctor under the master of ceremonies of the pedestrian department, who was the messenger of orders, while Zhao Wuxian turned his head and smiled apologetically at the son of the servant. said that he was helpless.
Zifu He's face was cloudy, and in the face of Yang Hu's power and domineering, Sanhuan was still helpless, not to mention that he was a small sect of the Meng family. He could only follow behind with Zhao Wuxian's entourage, eating the dust of the two people's carriages and horses.
He walked side by side with Yang Hu's carriage. Zhao Wuxian deliberately looked around with the mentality of a tourist who came to a foreign country at the beginning of his youth: "Qufu is the ruins of Shaohao's family, the hometown of Zhao's surname. ”
Yang Hu laughed: "These two places are also extremely lively on weekdays, and I am willing to lead on my behalf." ”
Shaohao did not, Qufu became the territory of the poor clan of Houyi, and it was the land of the country of Xian during the Yin Shang period, and after the Shang Dynasty was conquered, the era of the Yiren came to an end.
The eldest son of the Duke of Zhou was sealed here, and then attacked Dongyi and Huaiyi. It has expanded a large country south of Mount Tai, and is the chief of the eastern princes after the Taigong of Qi. There is a poem as evidence: "Wang said that uncle, Jian'er Yuanzi, Marquis Yulu." Da Qi Eryu, for Zhou Mufu. ”
Lu was still very strong until Lu Huan and Zhuang Ergong, and when it was, it was known as "a thousand buses, Zhu Ying green silk, two spears and heavy bows, and 30,000 public disciples." ”
However, today's Lu country does not have the glory of the past. When the military strength of other countries was rising, the Lu State shrank from the country of a thousand times to nine hundred times, and forced the Qi State to the north, and could only open up to the Dongyi countries such as Ju and Di in the east and south. However, the combat effectiveness of the Lu army is worrying. was often counterattacked by these two countries, and was constrained by Jin and Qi, so it did not make much progress and was reduced to a second-rate country.
However, although Lu Guo was down, Guo outside Lu Chengcheng's first impression of Zhao Wuxian was still majestic, no less than Xinjiang.
The plane of the outer city of Lucheng is an irregular rectangle with rounded corners. The longest point from east to west is 7 li, the widest part from north to south is 5 li, and the circumference is more than 20 li. There are 11 city gates in total, there are three gates on the east, west and north sides, there are two gates on the south side, there are pheasant gates outside each majestic city gate, and the pier platform of the gatehouse is also built on the side, and the defense is very in place.
The gate of the city is wide, three zhang high and five zhang wide, which can accommodate Zhao Wuxian and Yang Hu's two horses and horses to enter in parallel, and can also leave more than half of the gap.
The more than 100 soldiers who followed Zhao Wuxian had not yet recovered from the darkness under the city gate, and countless noisy and lively sounds had already entered their ears.
Zhao Wuxian's subordinates started from Shangqiu, and they have also seen the capitals of several states. Compared with the old style of Yin Shang in Shangqiu, the capital of Song, and the hustle and bustle of Taoyi in Caodu, the interior of Lucheng is much more conservative and retro, and it has some of the small family spirit of the Lu people, so most of them are calm and calm.
The soldiers were left in the barracks of Outer Guo and placed properly by Yang Hu, while Zhao Wuxian and Zifu He continued to the inner city with Yang Hu.
They entered from the west gate of Waiguo, while the market shops in Lucheng were mostly in the east, and here were the lilu and workshops. Rao is like this, the road is already very lively: high-rise buildings and low houses are stacked on top of each other, copper smelting, iron smelting, bone making, pottery and other handicraft workshops are arranged very densely, and there is a choking smell from time to time.
The country of Lu was heavy on agriculture, and commerce was not as prosperous as Song, Cao, and Wei, but the handicraft industry under official control was also very developed. Because at the beginning of the founding of the country, they were divided into the "six clans of the Yin people" with their own strengths, among which the Suo clan was made of ropes, and the long spoon clan and the long tail clan were made of wine vessels, and these Yin relics laid a good handicraft foundation for the Lu country.
Nowadays, the cutting of the Lu country, the silk of the Lu country, shoes, scarves and hats are very famous, and the same as the sword of Wu Yue, "moving to the place is good", which is a specialty of the Lu country.
The number of craftsmen in Lu is also very large, in the second year of Lu Chenggong, the hegemony of Chu extended to the border of Lu, and Meng Sun went to ask for peace, and offered 300 carpenters and female weavers at one time. The year before last, when Qi and Lu were fighting, the potters in Yuncheng and Yangguan on the border were also plundered by the Qi people, resold to Xinjiang City, and bought by Zhao Wuxian.
"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 move some of the pottery kilns of the Jin Kingdom, in addition to casting and smelting, and some other handicrafts must also be established as soon as possible."
Zhao Wuxian firmly believes that science and technology are still the primary productive forces.
Gradually, the center of the city arrived, and I saw a street straight and magnificent. Enough for three or four carriages to run in parallel, the street was tamped like hard earth, and the pavement was paved with river pebbles for horses' hooves to step on. Rattling, the roadside ditch stone barrier, outside the ditch Yu forced to the side.
Bustling passers-by lined the flanks, and the chariots galloped in the center, and there was no shortage of high-crowned doctors on those carriages and ox carts. Most of the cars are caravans. The ornaments are extravagant, covered by a curtain outside, so that the people inside cannot be seen, and occasionally the fragrance of a woman wafts out of it.
There are also a few young warriors who are richly dressed and high-spirited, and the entourage behind them seems to be a vertical temple, but they are all dressed in silk and have short swords at their belts. They drove down the road, speeding straight ahead, and the pedestrians in the street retreated. Don't dare anyone complain. But after seeing Yang Hu head-on, these aristocratic young men all shrank their heads, not daring to stand in his way, and they were also curious about who the young gentleman who could go hand in hand with Yang Hu.
"These are the children of the Gong family." Yang Hu tilted his head and explained.
"There are not many others in the Lu country, that is, there are many clans, and they can only fight dogs and cocks every day, and they have no other talents."
Yang Hu's attitude was contemptuous, he was from a humble background, and now he was above these nobles, and when he heard that the son of the same clan was more and more dissatisfied, Zhao Wuxian's heart moved after hearing it.
If most of the nobles of the Lu Kingdom are this urine. If you open a branch of luxury business in Qufu, business should be good.
Zigong has established himself in Taoyi, with a considerable amount of money coming into his account every month, but it is said that the quick-witted Zheng people have also built a high-imitation extravagant place in Xinjiang. Almost completely copied the ideas of Zhao Wuxian and Zigong. This cottage came so early that it was impossible to cry and laugh, but fortunately, the core technology of porcelain has not yet been understood.
Low-end technologies such as stone grinding are easy to say, but porcelain wants to be imitated? Even Zhao Wuxian, a person who had entered the pottery class in his previous life, took the potters to study for half a year before he became a small success, and it is not a skill that can be lit up by touching it at a glance in the game, how can it be so simple to steal a teacher to learn art!
Historically. It was not until the Eastern Han Dynasty that this skill began to develop, and over the next 1,500 years, it was exported to all parts of the world by land, sea, and land. However, except for China, whether it is West Asia or Japan, imitations are in the initial stage of primitive porcelain, and cannot reach the technical height of Chinese porcelain.
He Yufu, who was caught off guard by Yang Hu himself, followed the carriage side by side in front of him gloomily, and when he arrived at a fork in the official office area, he suddenly realized that something was wrong, so he grabbed the eight bridles of the emperor and galloped forward, lying in the middle of the road, and said loudly:
"Yangzi, Doctor Zhao, please stop!"
Yang Hu's apprentices were shocked, and their spears and halberds were aimed at this reckless young doctor.
"Slow, slow!" Zhao Wuxian hurriedly spoke out to stop their move, and Yang Hu also waved his hand slightly, signaling everyone to retreat.
"What is this doing, Doctor Zifu?"
Zifu He Fangcai faced Ge Mao, and he also broke out in a cold sweat, but he didn't retreat, he said loudly: "Without him, it's just that we have taken the wrong path and corrected it." ”
Yang Hu held the long sword on his waist and sneered: "Went the wrong way? Today I went out to welcome Zitai, I want to invite him to my mansion for a banquet, now the six animals have been slaughtered, the wine has been filtered with bread grass, just waiting for the guests to arrive, how can it be wrong? ”
"Zitai, as the doctor of the Lu State, of course has to pay a visit to the three ministers after entering the capital, and then he can accept the invitation of the private minister to the banquet, we should go to the official temple in the west, not the Yangzi private house in the east!"
In the face of Zifu He's refusal to give an inch, Yang Hu's face was bruised, he now regarded himself as the ruling of the Lu State, and he hated being called a "private minister" the most, and was about to have a seizure, but was stopped by Zhao Wuxian's words.
"The two of you are angry, because you didn't make a trip first, which caused a misunderstanding, and it was my fault."
Yang Hu's sub-suit, He Du, set his sights on Zhao Wuxian.
"Yi Zitai's meaning, which side should I go to first?" (To be continued.) )
