Looking at Jiang Chen's dejected figure who retreated, Qiu Tong felt that he seemed to understand something, but he didn't quite understand what he understood.
Qiutong decided that it would be better to ask clearly. This was not the time to save face.
Lu Wu regarded her as his deputy. If he didn't know how to pretend to understand and couldn't figure out Lu Wu's strategic plan, what would he do if something went wrong in the future?
"Husband, are those military regulations and laws you mentioned just now aimed at the various wealthy families in Nanhe Prefecture?"
"Not bad, Qiutong, can you tell?"
"I've seen it too!" Jin Ju hurriedly interjected.
"Oh, what did you see?" Lu Wu asked.
"Master, you are absolutely unwilling to let these people regain military power, so let them go home and fight for power with their own families." Jin Ju clenched her fist and said.
In fact, the young master is also full of evil, but he is usually too lazy and has no chance to show off.
Qiu Tong and others nodded. They felt that there was some meaning in Lu Wu's words just now, but they were not as clear as Jin Ju said.
Lu Wu smiled and said: "What Jin Ju said is not wrong, but it is incomplete - you didn't notice that Jiang Chen raised this matter today? Why did he risk my anger to make this request? I And why do you answer that? All the causes and consequences must be taken into consideration."
The girls used their brains, but these girls were all Luwu maids. Although the Lu family did not treat their servants harshly, they did not hire teachers for them - not to mention that ordinary teachers themselves may not have this vision.
The reason why Qiu Tong and the other girls felt something was wrong was because Lu Wu sometimes got interested and would tell them some messy stories, most of which were conspiracy theories.
Seeing that the girls were puzzled, Lu Wu explained:
"Jiang Chen is the second grandson of Jiang Xingde, the head of the Jiang family. Most of the officers who were dismissed from their military posts by me this time have some relationship with the Jiang family. Even the second sons of various families who came to serve as hostages, they also care about the Jiang family. I took the initiative to send Jiang Chen here, and then I sent the hostages."
"Yulan, although you are the leader of the pro-army camp, the real core figure in the pro-barracks is Jiang Chen. There are casualties in the pro-barracks this time. Regardless of whether it is public or private, Jiang Chen has to come forward to seek justice for them, otherwise people's hearts will be scattered. Not only Jiang Chen, but also the Jiang family will be criticized and alienated from all sides."
Magnolia nodded.
"Then why don't you let the Jiang family be so alienated?" Qiu Tong asked.
Lu Wu cultivated Qiu Tong as his deputy - there were too few truly trustworthy people around Lu Wu, so he had to let five girls rush to the shelves - a few days ago, he seized military power and suppressed the Jiang family. Qiu Tong also See it in your eyes.
"Haha, as long as Jiang Chen sacrifices his life to petition, no matter whether it succeeds or fails, who will blame him?" Lu Wu said.
In other people's impression, Lu Wu was violent and violent, and it was not unusual for him to kill someone over a disagreement.
So Jiang Chen risked his life to petition. In the eyes of others, he was really in danger of giving up his life.
If it works, people will think of the Jiang family well; if it doesn't work, these people will only resent Lu Wu.
However, the five military rules mentioned by Lu Wu can change all this, and it is very possible to take these resentful second sons of various families into his own use, and then truly take over the major families in Nanhe Prefecture.
In this era, due to communication technology and transportation roads, the basic administrative control of any country is based on the city. In other words, if you control the city, you basically control the land.
And Nanhe Mansion is no exception.
Outside the city, there are territories that have been cultivated by major families for hundreds of years through land annexation, clan multiplication.
Not to mention Lu Wu, a newly arrived commander, even if Chu State has been in business for so many years, most rural towns in Nanhe Prefecture are still dominated by the original rulers.
This is also the basis for nobles such as the Jiang family and the Tang family to maintain their influence in Nanhe Mansion.
Lu Wu originally had neither the opportunity nor the manpower to extend the military and political system he established to the rural level.
But Jiang Chen's petition gave him a reminder.
Don’t you think that everyone in the pro-army camp also killed the enemy and made meritorious deeds, but they did not receive fair rewards and punishments?
Well, you were not the heir originally. If you died in the battle, I will support your bloodline as the heir. This is not just empty talk, but real support by sending troops.
From the perspective of comrade Pao Ze, no one could fault this approach.
It's Jiang Chen. Dare he say that Lu Wu's military regulations don't take care of the personal barracks?
Moreover, the palms and backs of the hands are full of flesh, and one of the parties has the support of the army. Who will the head of the family pass the position to?
You sent your second son into danger, and now that your second son dies in battle, shouldn't the family be compensated? Otherwise, who will be willing to work hard for the family next time?
Although the eldest son may not be happy to let the blood of the second son inherit the family, who told you not to take the risk of becoming Lu Wu's personal soldier?
Lu Wu only ordered at the beginning that each family's direct bloodline should be used to form the hostage camp (hostage camp). He did not say that the second son must come, and the eldest son could also come.
The inheritance rights of other people's children were earned by the father with his life!
The second son inherited the family lineage with the support of the Lu Family Army, so will he support the Lu Family Army when he grows up? If this child is killed, will you, Cai Luwu, take the opportunity to intervene?
Not to mention this, Lu Wu’s second, third, and fourth catch-alls are a naked conspiracy to divide the big families.
Why do wealthy nobles have power? It's because they control large areas of land and population.
Nobles/rich families often own hundreds of thousands of acres of land, and have tens of thousands of tenant farmers. Their mobilization capabilities are astonishing. Anyone who is in power must be careful.
Moreover, the influence of these nobles/big families extends throughout the local military and political affairs, and they cannot be moved at will.
Nowadays, Luwu military regulations stipulate that any soldier who is seriously injured and retires or retires after completing his service period can have the same inheritance rights as the original eldest son because of his accumulation of military merit.
So the question is, as a parent, should you let your eldest son inherit? Or should these retired pro-barracks soldiers inherit?
Equivalent to inheritance rights, this word is what Lu Wu meant.
To the second son, the eldest son would not be happy; to the eldest son, the second son would have the support of the Lu family army.
If it is divided equally, it is equivalent to dividing a fist into two halves. Can it be squeezed into another fist again in the future?
Lu Wu only needs to release these four military regulations, and he can turn the originally alienated proton camp (proton camp) into his own assistance and a claw that he can extend to each family.
The butt determines the head. As long as these protons (private soldiers) have any idea about the family power, they have to work hard for Lu Wu.
In the personal camp, they must accumulate merit for Lu Wu's conquests in all directions; after returning home, they must contribute to Lu Wu's control of the major families.
These people have received an education that is considered expensive in this era. Being able to win over the hearts of these second sons is also very helpful to Lu Wu.
As for the fifth catch, it can only be regarded as a basic cover bonus, used to deal with those officers who have been dismissed from their posts, so that they will not jump over the wall in a hurry.
