"Brother, I bought you the book you wanted."

A stout young man ran to Lu Xu's house out of breath and carefully placed the four books he had purchased from Wenhua Bookstore on the table in front of Lu Xu.

"Thank you, brother." Lu Yu said as he pulled his panting cousin Lu Jian, who looked smirkling, to sit down.

"I'm not tired, I'm not tired, I'm just running a little fast, just rest for a while." Lu Jian replied with a smile.

Cousin Lu Jian sat aside, and Lu Qi couldn't wait to open the book and want to see the contents.

Lu Yu is 22 years old this year, and he is a member of the literati scholars in Guangzhou City, and he already has the status of a showman.

The Confucian circle in Guangzhou City is mainly divided into two, one is the circle where Confucian students from big families gather, and the other is the circle where Confucian students from poor families gather.

In the past, it was also called the Shu clan to refer to the lower power of the family, and now it refers to the poor class, but this poor class is not the real poor people, poor students, the cost of reading and literacy is so high, but it is not that the people at the bottom can afford it.

Lu You is a poor student, the Lu family has a little wealth, but in order to provide Lu You with reading and literacy, the wealth is consumed, in order to provide Lu You with reading and literacy, Lu's father and Lu mother, who have worked hard for half a lifetime, fell ill one by one, and now the Lu family is left with only Lu You alone, with the help of relatives, Lu You finally has the identity of a showman, and his life is gradually improving.

As a poor student, Lu Yu has also lived a hard life for a long time, or most of the poor students have had a hard life, and their different backgrounds make it difficult for them to mix with Confucian students from big families.

After the People's Army captured the city of Guangzhou, a series of actions of the People's Army made Lu Xuan, a poor student, have a lot of ideas.

At the beginning, Lu Yu also regarded the People's Army as a thief, hoping that the imperial court would send a large army to exterminate the People's Army as soon as possible.

But later, Lu Yu saw that the People's Army was very good to the people at the bottom, distributing land to the people, and the people would provide food if they had no food to eat, and if someone bullied the people, the People's Army would make decisions for the people.

Although Lu Yu still thinks that the People's Army is a thief, he unconsciously has a good impression of the People's Army, and the reason for this good impression is very simple, just because Lu Yu is a poor student, has lived a hard life, and knows the difficulties of the people at the bottom.

Confucian students from big families will not be related to the people at the bottom, they live a life of fine clothes and food, lingering in the green building, do not need to worry about life, if they are officials, pay more attention to the development of the family, and do not care about the oppression and exploitation of the people at the bottom.

As for the Confucian students from poor families, many people participated in the imperial examination with the idea of letting the people at the bottom live a good life, and no one can say clearly how many people really changed the lives of the common people after becoming officials.

Anyway, Lu Yu had the idea of letting the people at the bottom live a good life in his mind, so the actions of the People's Army made Lu Yu slowly have a good impression.

It has been a few months since the city of Guangzhou was occupied by the People's Army, and Lu Yu's view of the People's Army is constantly changing, from the thieves who must be exterminated, to the rebels who have some meaning, and then to those who are truly for the people.

Lu You didn't know if the People's Army would continue to be so good to the people in the future, but the current People's Army had been recognized by Lu Xu, and because the Ming Army was defeated again and again, Lu You couldn't help but have the idea that the People's Army would overthrow the Ming Dynasty and rule the world.

Sometimes Lu Yu will also put the People's Army and the Ming Court together to compare, the Ming Dynasty has been established for hundreds of years, perhaps the Ming Taizu who was born as a peasant at the beginning paid more attention to the people at the bottom, but with the passage of time, the emperors paid less and less attention to the people at the bottom, and the high-ranking officials paid less and less attention to the people at the bottom.

Thinking about it carefully, Lu Yu knew that there were many poor students like him who became officials, even if they were in charge of a county, how many people could really make decisions for the people at the bottom.

The common people of Guangdong, under the rule of the Ming court and the current rule of the People's Army, are too different and too big, Lu Yu can feel that his relatives rarely smiled before, but as the People's Army divided the land among them, the smiles on their faces became more and more, and it seemed that a better day had come.

If the People's Army is exterminated by the Ming Army, the fields allocated to them by the People's Army will be confiscated, and the good days will be gone, and the smiles will be gone.

The more he thought about it, the more Lu Yu recognized and favored the People's Army, and even Lu Yu had the idea of joining the People's Army to contribute his own strength to the People's Army's overthrow of the Ming Dynasty.

The appearance of this idea surprised Lu Xu, how could he have the idea of betraying Daming after living under the rule of Daming for so long.

However, the more he thought about it, the more Lu Yu's dislike for Daming increased, and the more he had the idea of joining the People's Army.

On the one hand, there are the low-level people who can't even eat enough to eat, and on the other hand, there are the big families who live a luxurious life, this difference is too big, but the big families continue to oppress and exploit the people at the bottom.

Finally, Lu Xuan understood his true intention, and it was also because the People's Army continued to defeat the Ming Army that Lu Xuan made the decision to join the People's Army.

However, the People's Army did not accept outsiders to join before, and even if he joined, he started from a small official, Lu Xuan thought that he had some ability, even if he started from a small official, he would continue to be promoted, but the announcement of the People's Army made Lu Xuan stop, if he participated in the imperial examination of the People's Army, it seemed better to become the head of a county in one step.

The four books in the Wenhua Bookstore are very cheap, Lu You can afford to buy them, and now there are too many people who pay attention to the Wenhua Bookstore, Lu You doesn't want to go over in person, and there are still some thoughts in his heart that he doesn't want to be rejected by other Confucian students.

Looking through the books, Lu Yu was a little emotional, these four books had been exposed to him when he was at the Confucian gathering before, and the magical "Common Sense" needless to say, just this "Translation of Traditional and Simple Common Words", Lu Yu had some ideas of his own.

Compared with traditional Chinese characters, simplified Chinese characters are definitely easier to learn, and the People's Army has taken out simplified Chinese characters, which seems to have the idea of making more people read and write.

He didn't know that in the vicinity of Haifeng County, Yongan County, the People's Army was already teaching many teenagers to learn simplified Chinese characters for free, and in the future, the People's Army would continue to expand the geographical scope of free education, and even set up literacy classes so that adults could learn common words.

Lu Yu wants to participate in the imperial examination of the People's Army and learn simplified Chinese, but before that, Lu Yu plans to take a good look at the book "Common Sense" (traditional Chinese version), the content of this book is really an eye-opener for Lu Xu, even if there are some contents that no one can determine whether they are true or false.
