"Have they arrived?"

"Back to the king, some of the generals and Zhonglang generals have already arrived, some of them are in the square outside the Hall of Light, and a few of them have gone to the central garden."

"Let them go to the East Side."

"No!"

It is Lu Zhe's usual method of doing things without bowing to everything, especially when the country is getting bigger and bigger, and the administrative departments above the military and political are becoming more and more perfect, he often just controls the general direction of the country, and some things that have nothing to do with the country and important things should be let go.

To really put it simply, if you have to do everything yourself, either the scope of the ruler is very limited, or it will not take three or five days for the ruler to be tired and paralyzed, maybe there is no chance of paralysis, and the direct cranial nerve overload is overloaded - that is, overwork.

There are a lot of things that can make Lu Zhe worry about now, but they are only on some major matters, such as some internal affairs construction that must be paid attention to and some ongoing wars. Of course, there is not much attention to war, for example, some regional conflicts depend on the size of the conflict, and the real focus is on wars above the battle level.

Xiao He's report on the construction of the military industry can't be too fast, and the plan to build a few workshops or factories is something that Lu Zhe must pay attention to, in fact, as the matter of opening a new weapon manufacturing base is really a big deal, Lu Zhe really needs to grasp the progress, and then consider the new composition direction of the army according to the mass production quantity or category of new weapons.

Xiao He's report was only halfway through, and after Yan Bi came over, he knew very well that Yan Bi was going to report private matters, so he avoided it for the time being.

Lu Zhe only gave orders to the personal guard, that is, Meng San, after Xiao He left.

Mammoth is no longer called mammoth. It may sound a little tongue-twisting, but Mengsan feels that the name Mengsan is inappropriate, and there have been no nobles (lords) or samurai (retainers) on the ancestors of Mengsan, and the word "Meng" is still because Mengsan's Laozi brawl is very fierce. Mammoth is the third in the family again, which gives rise to the name Mammoth. Note that mammoth is a name, not a name.

According to the popular meaning, it is also a folk custom or rule left over from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and Mengsan is a person with land. Although he is not a nobleman, it is not the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and Meng San also takes the first word of the name of his land as his surname. His land is on the edge of Jiangling, so he took the surname Jiang and gave himself a name, so whether it is himself or others, he is called Jiang Meng.

It's normal but a bit inexplicable, things have been happening in the area ruled by Lu Zhe for ten years, not only Mengsan changed his name to Jiang Meng, but also many people who have obtained land or used money to buy land because of merit, they have gradually begun to have their own surnames. And then countless surnames appeared.

It is a surname not a surname, and a surname is actually a small branch of a large clan, but many things change over time, and established folk customs are also changing because of various things. During the reign of Lu Zhe, all kinds of surnames were like bamboo shoots after the rain, without any laws and laws, and there were far more than "common people", and the choice of surnames was also strange. Only I didn't expect that there was nothing I couldn't see.

What annoys the Empire's civil administration the most? There are constantly people running to the office to re-register their household registration, and they have to find the original records every time. Change the name according to the description of the appearance. There have been too many incidents of name changes, so many that they are not only tired of it, but they should be disgusted, but the office staff of the civil affairs unit still have to be patient.

The same thing happened to the military, which accounted for at least 95 percent of the people who did not have a surname or a name, under the blowout of the outbreak. If a person has a piece of land and uses the location of his field as his surname, then the military roster must also be changed.

It's not a spoof, it's definitely true, people who originally knew each other, the most common thing that happens after they meet is to reintroduce themselves. Because they may have changed their names!

Yan Bi is really surnamed Yan now, but the official full name is Lu Yanbi, Lu is the clan, Yan is the surname, and he is the name, fortunately, there is no habit of taking the table word now, if you add a table word, it is really long enough. The reason for Yan Bi's surname is very simple, after the military obtained Yan Land, Yan Bi bought a piece of land in Yan Land as soon as possible, he has his own real estate but is Lu Zhe's retainer, and things are really that simple.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with saying that Yan Bi's clan is Lu, that is because he is Lu Zhe's retainer, and retainers have been qualified to become a branch of a clan since ancient times, and even in some respects, the status of a retainer is higher than that of a blood relative of a big clan, because the retainer will live and die with the big clan and be humiliated, but the blood relatives of the big clan may not be able to do it. In the era when the retainers were constantly diluted, any cat and dog could follow the surname of the master, for example, Zhang San signed the deed of sale of Li Si's family, and Zhang San had to change his surname to Li San from then on.

Many people who originally had a surname will not change, from the land of China to the Warring States Period, because of the change of fiefdom and the change of the surname of the folk custom has been no longer used, the customs of the classical era have been abandoned, so the original surname of the people even if they are down, still use that surname. This custom was originally meant to commemorate certain events, such as to show that their ancestors were also generous, and later became a common thing.

Some established customs are abandoned, and some new ones are created, so what is it? Xiao He is still Xiao He, and he will not suddenly become another surname, and only a retainer like Yan Pi will have a new form, such as someone who respects him or on special occasions, he will need to shout the full name "Lu Yan Bi".

As a retainer, everything is naturally towards the head of the family, and some things that are not so glorious can only fall on Yan Bi's head.

"Your Majesty, there are already preliminary results."

"Say."

"In this operation, 234 unknown armed forces were exterminated, and none of them escaped."

"Be detailed."

"No! That's right, we have caught alive, and after strict interrogation, it was preliminarily determined that these armed people have nothing to do with Liu Bang and others, most of them are from some broken clans, and a small number of them are members of the lonely family. ”

"Only two hundred and thirty-four?"

This time it can be said that it is a gathering of wind and clouds, and the gathering of wind and clouds is also because of the national conditions of the empire, although Lu Zhe tried his best to take a peaceful route in the land of China to carry out the annexation by force and coercion, but there are definitely few people who are hurt. Some people's interests are damaged, others are ruined, and the struggle for power has always been accompanied by blood.

Lu Zhe has arranged everything, opened the big net and waited for someone to enter the gate by himself, there should definitely not be only two hundred and thirty-four people.

It must be explained that Lu Zhe has made such a big effort not entirely against Liu Bang and other people whose relatives are active. It is just a necessary temptation for Liu Bang, and it is the most important thing for the royal family and a group of talents who were originally nobles but are now "tabula rasa".

"We are still searching, and 234 people are the harvest so far."

"Check! Strict search and increase the scope. In addition, Liu Bang, Shu Dao, Yongben Liao, Wei Bao...... What are they doing? ”

"Liu Bang, Shu Dao, and Wei Bao were drinking and having fun in the Goolan Courtyard in the city, and when the accident occurred in the No. 3 workshop, they returned home under the protection of their respective guards. After Liu Bang returned to the mansion, he immediately went to look for Chu Ji, and when he was having fun, the woman of the Cao family went to look for it, and the two had a very unpleasant quarrel. ”

"Is it because of Liu Fei?"

"Yes, Your Majesty. The woman of the Cao family scolded Liu Bang for only caring about playing with women, and did not inquire about whether Liu Fei was safe. About Shu Dao, Yongben Liao ......"

Lu Zhe was curious about what interesting things happened in Liu Bang's house, but he definitely didn't have time to listen to some bad things made by other people's families because of playing with women.

Shu Dao and Yong Benliao did not go home, they went to the Wei Wangfu at the invitation of Wei Bao. If there had been no mistakes, Shu Dao and Yong Benliao should still be in the Wei Palace. ”

Wei Wangfu is not Wei Bao's mansion, Wei Bao is a "tabula rasa" status in the empire, so Wei Wangfu can only be the residence of Wei Qi, the emperor of the empire.

Wei Bao lives in his brother's mansion, which is also in line with the clan folklore of today's era.

has been until modern times. For the big race, before the separation, a large family was a large family with many people living in the same mansion. Then the house will be divided into the main house and the side branch, there are several rooms for the direct blood relatives of the head of the family, and the side branch will be divided into a special area.

In ancient times, it was usually not easy for a side branch to live in the valley of the main family, because the general side branch was basically not qualified to live in the main family's mansion, unless the side branch was very important or very capable.

Wei Qi and Wei Bao themselves are royalty. But they were not the core clan of Wei during the Warring States Period, and if they were really important clans of Wei during the Warring States Period, it would be impossible for them to wander among the people, and they should have been caught by the First Emperor in Xianyang and either publicly or secretly killed.

It is precisely because Wei Qi and Wei Bao are not the orthodox Wei royal family that they are in some ways a pair of difficult brothers, and they lived together even in a broken grass house before they were developed. The preparations for the restoration of the country were also relatively hasty, and even after the restoration of the country, the two of them did not have a good life, and Wei Qi, as the elder brother, did not have any noble title of Wei Bao at all, so it is equivalent to Wei Qi and Wei Bao did not separate.

"My father-in-law, is he very interested in cooperating with Liu Bang and a group of other people?" There is nothing wrong with Lu Zhe calling Wei Zhi's father-in-law, and now he is actually ridiculing with this title: "Liu Bang and some others are going to Jingluo Shaying's side, although it is only two hundred miles apart, but it is two hundred miles full of Lin Mang." ”

Yan Bi had to say it in detail, but now Lu Zhe doesn't have so much time, Xiao He is waiting outside, and after a while, Lu Zhe will go to the outskirts of Dongcheng with many generals to see the new weapons.

"Go ahead and check in detail, your way." Lu Zhe had already changed his clothes with the help of the maid, raised his hand so that the maid could pull out the arm in the robe, and his mouth did not stop: "But pay attention, we are not guilty of discussions." Do you understand when I say that? ”

What is there that Yan Bi doesn't understand? Of course, he knew that Lu Zhe was reminding him not to expand the innocent, and to arrest anyone who should really be arrested, but he couldn't arrest people casually, let alone clean up people on trumped-up charges.

The reality is also like this, the country ruled by Lu Zhe has long passed the best stage of purging and disobedience, and the country has slowly stabilized, if the prison is carried out, it will definitely stir up people's fears, some people who should live and work in peace and contentment will do stupid things that take risks because of fear, and some people who originally wanted to settle down will also risk their lives, so even if they have to do something, they should come up with definite evidence, and use those evidence to convince everyone and shut up.

"Forget it," Lu Zhe's dress changed from a casual robe to a military uniform, waiting for the armor to be tied, he jumped and jumped, and spoke: "You also come together, let's talk while walking on the road." ”

"Your Majesty, there was an accident over there, and the whole city was talking about it, you ......" Yan Bi persuaded: "You want to take people to test artillery, don't you?" ”

"It's just a loud bang, there are already people from the yamen making announcements, using the argument that the imperial army has new weapons, and the loud noise just now is an experiment," Lu Zhe walked around, and finally nodded with satisfaction to the maid who helped to wear the armor, and finally looked at Yan Bi: "There has been the first loud noise, and the notice has also been posted, and the other is that there was a plan, so it is as usual." ”

There was an accident in the wreck and explosion of the No. 3 workshop, Lu Zhe didn't have to stay still, but he shouldn't make any big moves, lest someone misunderstand or something, but he didn't seem to care about that. In fact, it can't be said that he doesn't care, it's that he made a net-like deployment for so many people, but he was interrupted by an accident, and he only made some big noise, saying that it was good to lure the snake out of the hole or something, but the original plan was changed slightly.

"Can I ask the king to wait for ten minutes?" Yan Bi pleaded with a face: "It only takes ten minutes." ”

"Okay, ten minutes." As soon as Lu Zhe finished speaking, Yan Bi immediately rushed out, and he silently looked at Yan Bi's back, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a smile.

This is Nanling, which is Lu Zhe's long-term residence, and it is also the capital of the empire, and it is also the place with the most civil and military officials in the empire.

Saying that ten minutes is ten minutes, Yan Bi, who was sweating profusely, nodded heavily to Lu Zhe, who was already standing with a group of generals, and then slowed down and walked to Xiao He's location.

"Done?" Xiao He's eyes swept over the elated generals from time to time, and he couldn't help but ask: "The king and many generals, who are they?" ”

Yan Bi knew that Xiao He was not pretending, Xiao He was an archon, but it didn't mean that Xiao He would know everything well, at least Xiao He didn't know that there would be a test firing of artillery on the outskirts of Nanling Dongcheng today, after all, once the goods were transferred to the military, the ruling government had no right to intervene.

"Did the king invite you?"

"Huh? Oh! Yes, say it's a piece to go and see. ”

"The ruling should go over and see, the king does not attach great importance to those things."

"Oh! I understand! ”

Otherwise, no one in a high position is a stupid, Yan Bi reminded him slightly, and Xiao He immediately guessed that he was either going to test fire an artillery or a flintlock pistol. (To be continued......)
