The kings of Wu, Yuelu and the Three Kingdoms met at Wutong Village and made up their minds. As for the details, naturally the advisers and ministers from each country argued and discussed them one by one.
There were many such counselors under King Wu Yuehou, but Lu Wu only had a few wandering scholars who were not even famous. It was really unbearable. In the end, Lu Jinhe personally went into battle, showed his true qualities as a businessman, and The counselors of the two countries had to compare their money and money, and after a good deal of bargaining, they finally didn't suffer too much.
It's okay to say that other things are fine, except for the unification of laws among the three countries, but in the end they still couldn't reach an agreement.
Although the Deer Country is only a country on paper, the basic base of the Deer Country is the 30,000 people who followed Lu Wu from the five southern provinces. These people are all beneficiaries of the Lu Wu military system. How can they return to the country? Under the supreme legal system of aristocrats like Wu Yue?
Therefore, even if Lu Jinhe is the father of Lu Wu, he can only play both sides and finally come up with a nondescript commercial tax law. It is the only unified law among the three countries. Other laws are still different.
Even this commercial tax law is just a tax collection rule for setting up cards at city gates and transportation thoroughfares in various places. It is aimed at caravans passing by, not merchants on the ground. Of course, it is universally applicable in the Lu Kingdom. After all, Lu Wu Lu Jinhe, my father, is a business representative himself.
Tonghe Mansion, Baihu Hall.
There was no White Tiger Hall in Tonghe Prefecture, but some time ago, the Lu Wu Army gathered heavy troops centered on Tonghe City to confront the Chu Army.
The original administrative office of Tonghe Prefecture was temporarily changed into a command center. General Luo Gan of the State of Wu secretly sneaked into the five southern mansions to take charge of the army, and by the way renamed the administrative office Baihutang.
White Tiger was the main killer, and General Luo Gan originally wanted to get a good result, but when the fight started, he realized that the Chu State was a major country in the Central Plains, and the quality of its army was actually much higher than that of the Wu State. Sample.
The general who is currently in charge of military affairs in Tonghe Prefecture is Lin Ji, the general of Wu State's Lingdu. There are seven deputy generals, namely Zhu Pin, Wang Mu, Guo Zhongyuan, etc. Among them, Zhu Pin is a surrendered general of the Chu State, and Wang Mu is a noble from the Five Prefectures in the South. As for Guo Zhongyuan , Lu Yue, Wang Zhuo and other five people, but most of them were low-level soldiers promoted by Lu Wu and named disciples who planted the demon seed.
Lin Ji was sitting in the White Tiger Hall at this time, showing a handwritten letter around him. When all the generals in the hall had no objections, he said:
"General - no, he should be called Lu Bo now - Lu Bo has made a decision. He will establish a country in the five counties south of the Yangtze River. This place will be replaced by the Kingdom of Wu. You must make a decision early on where to go."
"There is nothing to hesitate about. The general is our master, and he has the kindness to rebuild the general. No matter where the end of the world is, the general will follow the general!" Deputy General Lu Yue glanced at several colleagues next to him, then stood up. said loudly.
He was one of the twenty-four named disciples of Lu Wu. He was originally just a corps commander in the Chu State, with a salary that was not even enough to support a wife. Until he got lucky and was favored by Lu Wu. The Demon Seed was accepted as a registered disciple. His martial arts improved rapidly, he made a lot of money, and now he has three concubines, one of whom is pregnant!
Of course, his wife is not married yet - these days, the wife is of great importance, involving the parentage of his children, while concubines are not that important.
Some of his three-bedroom concubines were gifts from local nobles, some were captured as tribute from subordinate soldiers, and one of his concubines was redeemed from a brothel, and they were very comfortable to use.
"Exactly, we will definitely follow the general!" Wang Zhuo Guoke and others responded one after another.
Lin Ji nodded with satisfaction, then turned to look at the three people who had not yet spoken.
Doctor Wang Mu did not speak, but slowly shook his head.
Wang Mu is the head of the Wang family and one of the three nobles of Nanhe Mansion. Although he is not as good as the Jiang family and the Tang family, he is also an old minister of the Wu Kingdom.
In the past few days, old friends of the Wu Kingdom have come to visit, hoping to cooperate with the Wang family and use the power of the Wang family to do some tricks when the Wu Kingdom takes over the five southern prefectures, so as to take advantage.
It had only been 30 years since the Wu Kingdom was completely driven out of the water. The older generation of that year was still alive. There were some favors that could not be evaded. Moreover, the Wu Kingdom was about to take back the five southern mansions. Even if they could evade it, the Wang family could not evade it at this time. ah!
Therefore, the Wang family is now seizing a rare opportunity, playing both ways, and is about to reach a higher level. How can they be willing to follow Lu Wu to open up wasteland in the five counties in the south of the Yangtze River?
Besides, the policies implemented by Lu Wu are extremely unfriendly to established nobles like them. The Wang family is not convinced because they are convinced, but because they can't defeat it, okay?
】
Now that the big devil who is pressing on his head wants to get out, it is okay if the Wang family does not set off firecrackers to celebrate. Follow Lu Wu? Are the tenants and servants of the Wang family’s land in Nanhe Mansion no longer wanted?
Lin Ji was not surprised to see Wang Mu shaking his head.
A large family like the Wang family has its roots in Nanhe Mansion. At that time, they were willing to surrender to Chu State rather than follow King Wu across Lanshui. Now, naturally, they would not follow Lu Wu to places like the five counties in the south of the Yangtze River.
Lin Ji looked at the deputy general Zhu Pin - this man was a surrendered general of the Chu State. He was originally a captain. He was especially good at organizing sergeants, setting up camps, and arranging troops. He was also good at recruiting Chu soldiers and became his own. After becoming the deputy general, he actually shared a lot of worries for himself.
Seeing Lin Ji looking at him, Zhu Pin stroked his short beard under his chin, hesitated for a moment, and then said: "General Lin, I am afraid that the junior general will not be able to follow the great general."
"Oh, why General Zhu?" Lin Ji asked.
Lin Ji had received a letter from his eldest son Lin Chong, stating that the entire Wu Kingdom was on guard against him. Lin Ji replied and told him to work well with the King of Wu and not to think too much, but Lin Ji himself felt a little unhappy—— This unhappiness reflected here was that he hoped that the more people would follow Lu Wu, the better.
"Ahem, Zhu, um, isn't Zhu getting married again? The wife he married is a daughter of the Tang family, so -" Zhu Pin couldn't help but blush a little.
It wasn't that he didn't know that the general's policies were a bit inconsistent with traditional nobles, but that the Tang family gave him too much.
Not to mention that Miss Tang was only twenty-seven years old, there were thirty-two beauties married to Miss Tang alone, and the dowry was even more astonishing. There were only three farms, and the total was more than a thousand hectares.
How has this rough guy like him ever had such enjoyment in his life?
Let him abandon these things and go to the five counties in the south of the Yangtze River to start from scratch? He is already forty, how can he still have so much energy?
Besides, where are the five Jiangnan counties? He, Zhu Pin, had never heard of it. It couldn't be some barbaric place.
"Okay, everyone has their own ambitions." Lin Ji nodded.
"What about you?" Lin Ji looked at the last lieutenant general who had not expressed his stance, but his words were not so polite.
"Well, the last general and the last general also want to stay in the five southern mansions -" Guo Zhongyuan said, his voice getting smaller and smaller, and in the end he lowered his head.
"Lao Guo, how dare you betray the general!" Wang Zhuo shouted angrily.
Although this Guo Zhongyuan is not one of the twenty-four disciples of the Demon Seed passed down by Lu Wu, he is also one of the first batch of captains promoted by Lu Wu. His wealth and splendor are all given by Lu Wu, and in the eyes of Wang Zhuo and other registered disciples, One of his own, now he dared to say that he would no longer follow General Lu Wu, which immediately made Lu Wu's registered disciples angry.
"I, I, I'm old, and I don't have much ability. I lost terribly every time I went to battle. I was embarrassed by the general. I really didn't dare to go see the general.
Besides, if I stay here, if there are other brothers who don’t want to leave their hometown, I can organize them to some extent and not let others bully them - and no matter who my old Guo is under in the future, as long as the general orders, I, old Guo He must turn his back and do it! "
Guo Zhongyuan was a little stumbling at first, but later he probably found a reason for his behavior, and his speech became more and more fluent - of course, don't expect this level of speaking.
