As the saying goes, "standing wood is faith". For some people who have been oppressed by the people in the vicinity of Pingchuan, coupled with the old days of facing outsiders, there is naturally a sense of suspicion and vigilance in China, where the per capita IQ is not low. If it is only "lip service but not reality", it is difficult to have full effect.

Of course, Zhang Lixin still underestimated the lethality of even twenty dollars and keeping one's word among the low-class people in this not very wealthy Sage Village.

In particular, not only the people who came, regardless of men, women and children, Zhang Lixin gave 20 yuan, but also prepared a special small clay vase filled with lime. Tell the people: "You can hide it in a safe place in your house, and if someone comes and confiscates it, you can say that we forgot to give the money... ”

This kind of care and thought quickly moved many people. Although some people are suspicious, Zhang Lixin did not let everyone pay too much, and there is no evidence if he wants to misunderstand it as a fraud.

On the second night, many people from Yang Dahu in Shengxian Village gathered again in a panic.

"Something is wrong, huh? They really want to put down roots here, they really want to? What are we going to do? ”

"Pack up your things and leave! This is not the place to stay. If we don't leave, I'm afraid we won't have a chance in the future... ”

Mrs. Yang was still reluctant to take the site of this sage village, and finally decided to let only one family member take their grandson to explore the road first...

However, what the Yang family didn't expect was that Zhang Lixin didn't waste time, just the second night of preaching in front of everyone, he directly "boosted the seedlings", and mobilized more than 20 people who were very unsatisfactory in this sage village on weekdays at the fastest speed by directly throwing a small amount of money, and let off at night at several big families in the village.

That's it: Yang Dahu's escape plan was soon discovered, and was finally chased back by Zhang Lixin and his men on horseback. And from whereafter, every night in the vicinity of the village of the sage organized people to light torches. Under the threat and intimidation of catapults, large areas of small stones and handbooks, Yang Dahu and his family were quickly detained and controlled by Zhang Lixin and Li Yi, and were specially locked up in a half-buried simple building that was temporarily dug up.

In fact, at the beginning, Zhang Lixin did not think about the peasant movement of "inviting guests to dinner, everyone is happy". However, after careful weighing, it is clear that there is an inherent problem and inappropriateness: let's not talk about the situation that does not go well. Even if he uses the method of knowing how to reason and acting for profit, he can temporarily let the Yang family give up a lot of benefits, so that the farmers of the entire Shengxian Village can have a huge benefit of "turning over and liberating". Will all this kindness be due to oneself? Obviously: in this case, at least many people will think that the Yang family is kind, even if it is under their own persecution. If this is the case, how is it possible for him to use such a peasant movement to select the "political soldiers" he needs? Wouldn't anyone be worried, "Don't look at your fun today, be careful about pulling the list in the future?" ”

And according to some of Zhang Lixin's experience: the people will be grateful for benefits and small favors. However, if it is purely motivated by interests, how can there be a "political source" that can reach the level of one's own vision? If it is simply to give benefits to the lower classes to have a new type of armed force that is at the peak level of will in human history, then the Qin army, which was awarded military merits, did not have a twenty-fold gap between the "ammunition volume" and the military expenditure of the six countries, how could it have experienced more than one defeat in the process of winning the government and unifying the six countries? Why is the combat effectiveness of the Qin army slightly stronger than that of Zhao and Chu, rather than a level stronger?

Obviously, an army that fights only for the sake of land and selfish interests can never be an army that can create miracles, and at best it will only be one of the "strong armies" in the long river of Chinese and foreign history, and it will not even be a "well-known strong army". There must be hatred, and in the end, hatred is resolved and transformed into the belief of "fighting for the common people in the world". Without this kind of moral belief in abandoning everything from hatred to profit to life and even including life, at least some of the backbone cadres must be like this, it would be impossible to forge the pinnacle, it would be even more difficult to achieve the development and growth of the war in the face of a strong enemy, and it would be even more impossible to get rid of such stubborn diseases as cronyism and Parkinson's bureaucratic law in internal organizational relations, thus affecting the speed of organizational expansion of the new army with the same quality. In this case, if you don't find out a "negative character", but instead have to have dinner with the rich and noble people you have criticized, what will the people you need think? What do those who were once oppressed think?

Therefore, Zhang Lixin had to make some kind of "rupture" statement and "stand on the side of the poor". Of course, Zhang Lixin also understood at this time: If he "eats big households" without restriction now, or "conducts public trials" like in Hejian Yingcheng, he will reduce the time for his area to stay and recuperate and strengthen his strength from a maximum of a few months to a maximum of one month or even less, and he will be surrounded and suppressed by the imperial court, which is quite unfavorable to the current plan. Therefore, it is necessary for the Yang family who are under care to have a bottom in their hearts: the team has to show that it is on the side of the poor.

Cold nights with cool breezes. Near a large pit not far from a cliff that had been dug up a long time ago like a grave for killing prisoners, seven or eight core members of the Yang family were unknowingly pressed up by secret gods. This situation is obviously about to execute these people.

There are no imaginary pleas for mercy, no cries such as "You must not die well", and when people realize that they may be executed, most people are paralyzed with the same fright as mediocre death row prisoners being escorted to the execution ground, and it is difficult to even speak...

It's just that these backbones of the Yang family were not directly pushed into the pit, and Zhang Lixin stood up in the firelight with a solemn expression: "The cause of innovation, of course, needs someone to sacrifice the flag." But: It doesn't have to be your Yang family. If--- I mean, if you can do what I tell you to do and become people who have made a significant contribution to the cause of reform that cannot be ignored, then even if you have committed crimes of a very heinous nature in the past, you may not have the opportunity to become a family of great wealth and fame and fortune in the future. Although it is said that merit is merit, and transgression is transgression, we still admit that we will make up for it. What do you think? Have you figured it out now? ”

In this case, if Zhang Lixin had started with the method of "inviting guests to dinner" and "knowing it for profit, and moving it with reason", the Yang family would at most regard Zhang Lixin as a group of Yelang arrogant and open-mouthed people, and the symbolic giving of some money was more on the face of being likely to be "toasted and punished for not eating".

However, at this moment, Zhang Lixin's voice was like a heavenly sound, instantly bringing light in the darkness and fear.

"Heroes spare their lives! Thanks heroes! As long as we can do it, the hero speaks ... One of the masters, who had a bright brain, said as his nervousness eased down.

The second lady of the Yang family couldn't help but say at this time: "The west wall of the backyard is four feet to the south, and there is about a depth of about one zhang below to dig the box... ”

"Madame, you... Alas! "The housekeeper of the Yang family heard that the second lady said that the whole family pressed the bottom of the box that should not be said, and couldn't help but feel slack, what if this gang of thieves got enough money and had the heart to kill people? But at this moment, it's not easy to have a seizure.

Zhang Lixin smiled: "Don't worry: we really don't think you can have ten thousand taels of gold." We don't want to look down on your little money. It's just that we need something that would have taken a bit of manpower and trouble to get ... ”

Zhang Lixin brought up the list that had been prepared a long time ago: there were sulfur, saltpeter, copper coins with poor fineness and more lead; At the same time, it is pointed out that some decent blacksmiths, coppersmiths, and craftsmen who can build cars are needed, but there are not many direct types of finance.

In this way, on the one hand, under coercion and inducement, the Yang family was used to increase the channels for obtaining material resources in various fields, and on the other hand, Zhang Lixin began to organize manpower to carry out early work in several other nearby villages, and the opening up of temporary guerrilla base bases from Mancheng County to Ansu gradually began shortly after the first lunar month.
