Of course, it is useless to be rich, he has the impression that the Jiangnan people are also rich, but they are very weak, and the price of their prosperity is that countless peasants are controlled by the relationship between tenants and clans, in fact, they are not doing well, but they are barely better than their northern peasant counterparts.

But in the north, he could clearly feel that countless people who were really poor before, who didn't even know how to enjoy themselves, could already hang around in brand new clothes, and they only needed to look at them to know that they were no different from the old peasants in their hometowns who worked all day and had red skin.

However, what puzzled Li Dingguo the most was why the people in the imperial capital could live well if they worked all day long, while the villagers in Shaanxi were so unbearable.

This feeling of unfairness quickly disappeared, and he went to several elementary schools in the imperial capital, whether it was Yu Qian Primary School or Qi Jiguang Primary School, all of them were managed in an atmosphere of militarized management, half of the time was spent studying, and half of the time was spent in queues, marching, hiking, and participating in an organization called the Boy Scouts.

Although he didn't understand this kind of queue that was different from the kind of queue he had since elementary school, he was used to looking at that kind of phalanx, and he was not used to the linear queue, but when he saw those children, he understood everything.

Li Dingguo is twenty-five years old this year, it can be said that he is the same age as the famous General Xu in Liaodong, but he has already had a career of more than ten years, he has entered Zhang Xianzhong's team at the age of ten to make a living, and many children are still in elementary school, discussing which little fresh meat is more beautiful, which Korean Oba I should give away my virgin body for nothing, and where to play pesticides tonight, he is already struggling with killing and being killed.

It was an unbearable period of the past, but in this case, Li Dingguo did not seem to have become a tyrannical killing machine, just like some officials and ignorant women in the minds of the elder brothers, but more compassionate, he soon perceived the intention of those primary schools, as the elder who showed himself to the school said, only one-tenth of the talented children can enter that middle school to continue their studies, and the rest of the people will enter separate schools for further study after completing their initial education, and some will learn to be craftsmen, some learn to be factory stewards, and of course, quite a few of them will enter military schools.

This also alerted Li Dingguo.

They almost captured the core of King Chuang, and even released many old brothers, leaving only the backbone, but the strength they have is still unfathomable, at least as long as Li Dingguo, the people under King Chuang's rule seem to be very ambiguous, and they are tired, and they don't want to fight hard, but they don't seem to refuse the order to go south to Sichuan.

An ignorant literati in later generations, in order to wash the floor of his traitor ancestor, that is, the real whistleblower of the Ming history case, which led to the massacre of tens of thousands of Jiangnan scholars, wrote a book of martial arts, in which the culprit became an unlucky bastard, and his traitor ancestor became a good man......

Among them, the place where he slandered Li Zicheng was that Li Zicheng was "stupid" and refused to stick to Henan and Shaanxi, but easily went north, like a rogue.

What he didn't expect was that Henan and Shaanxi had already become a chaotic place full of holes, and it was normal for a hundred miles to have no one, and the gentry would either rather have their own grain rot than give even a grain to the poor like Hou Fangyu.

In that case, Henan and Shaanxi could hardly survive on their own, and were waiting for other places to transport grain, and only the imperial capital had the ability and willingness to do these things.

In this case, these elders only used it after more than ten years of training, and they were specially called Boy Scout children, what do they want to do?

This is to continue the war.

Li Dingguo had doubts in his heart, if their soldiers really killed Sichuan, how could their side resist, after all, these days, he had seen too many people who went to the imperial capital to hook up, these people were all over the south, and even the grades were getting bigger and bigger, and the will of the imperial capital was becoming more and more difficult to resist.

The reply he got was also very simple, Zhang Xianzhong must cancel the emperor's title, of course, if he likes it, he can seal a king of the West to give him Shuangshuang, of course, the level of this kind of prince is naturally not high, especially Li Dingguo has seen a picture of a soldier firing a volley with a Mauser rifle, although it is not as aggressive as the guns and cannons he gets under his men, but the range is incomparable.

The gap in military strength is huge, and now although Daxi seems to be outnumbered, he is also self-aware, they can't compete with the power of the whole Daming, and their work of wooing the gentry and gentry is always unusual, after all, they have done too much before, and they have basically lost their credit, and the presbyterian council has a prince in his left hand, a gold bar in his right hand, the army is in the north, and the younger brother is everywhere, no matter how you look at it, they have to be treated well, especially when they use money to buy people who work hard for money everywhere in Jiangnan, and there are various consignment points to sell all kinds of northern goods, It really makes Jiangnan, there is a group of groups in the south with the interests of the imperial capital as the core, even if it is the youngest daughter of the gentry family, she will also read all kinds of cartoons from the imperial capital, compared to the legendary Western Army that killed the gentry, the reputation of the elders in Jiangnan is not bad, at least no one dares to say bad things in person, and after the prince's family is caught, they treat each other politely and let the scholars see them, which also adds a lot of points.

Of course, what Li Dingguo doesn't understand is the real reason for his heart here.

For the Jiangnan people, although the two of them have a bad reputation, the rich one must take advantage, just like in World War I, obviously both sides are real robbers, but the whole world is helping the British to fight Germany, without shedding the last drop of Indian blood, my British will never surrender! It is because the British Empire is also a well-fed person after all, who knows what will happen to you after Germany gains power.

The elders will have money, but Onishi will not have money, this is a very simple reasoning.

Just like a group of foreigners, after grabbing goods in a supermarket, what did they find out that it was actually a foreigner, of course, they directly attacked the supermarket owner for not knowing how to respect the foreigner, and demanded compensation for the loss of work and other expenses of the foreigner......

Li Dingguo naturally wants to see more every day, and he even knows that the reason why he is allowed to interact with the generals who break into the camp every day is to play the role of buying horses and horses, in any case, in terms of material, the living standards of the people under Li Zicheng are not bad, and even because of the large population in the family, the living standards are a little higher than those of the elders, Li Dingguo knows that this is for himself, which means that if he and others are also willing to take refuge, they can also handle it in turn, although they cannot be powerful, but their lives are guaranteed.

However, this kind of guarantee is all in the mind of the elders, that is to say, if people repent, there is no room for resistance, Li Laiheng is about the same age as himself, and he also said with a wry smile, although a lot of soldiers who broke into the camp were retained, but if they really started, they must not help themselves, this is not a matter of money, it is purely decided by the system, and people have no right to speak at all.

The dilemma was his idea, and the Elders' Association boasted that there was a ship that would send him home directly in a few days, and that boat could pass through the state and county, and bring him back to Sichuan directly from the sea, which was much faster than walking.

He was determined and would not be discouraged, but he was also helpless, and he was walking on the road, when he saw someone gathering in front of him, and said, "What is the situation ahead?" ”

"Major General, why don't you go and have a look."

Although Li Dingguo didn't want to do much, it didn't hurt to take a look, he was taller, walking on a step, and just now he could see that there seemed to be a few people surrounding a stall and tearing up, but a few people couldn't hold that person.

"Xu bought a fake, and I'm coming back to ask for a refund."

This is not a pedestrian street, but it is also a crowded place, there are people who can set up stalls to sell goods, but those few people can't even control a seller, the two sides are evenly matched, and naturally it is a commotion.

"Major General, it doesn't seem to be a fake, that person is a book seller, and the few people around him seem to be also readers."

"Oh, interesting, let's go check it out."

If it's a shrew making trouble, etc., Li Dingguo will definitely leave without looking at it, but this show is only beating people, and it's still a book seller, that's interesting, Daxi has been trying to find a way to improve the relationship with readers, but the effect is difficult to say, just take a look, how this emperor manages readers.

Although there are a lot of people who watch the excitement, most of them are hanging high and don't dare to get too close, so Li Dingguo blended in effortlessly.

When I got closer, I saw that although the peddler was not very old, he was not short, but he was very thin, although it was winter, he was not dressed warmly, he only wore a big felt hat, and he was very fierce, and several scholars kept trying to throw away the books he sold, but he was holding a stick and repelled again and again.

And those few scholars are also weak chickens, if it is a normal situation, three people are so around, the hawker is so thin, and he will be caught, but the ability of these people to talk blindly is much stronger than the ability in hand.

"You dog thief, dare to sell insults to the saint**, now that you know, you don't destroy them all, you dare to resist, believe it or not, we called the servants to come and tie you up, clamp you with a clip for a few days, and toss you to death!" A middle-aged scholar in a shabby robe said.

"You are talking nonsense, these are all goods I bought in the government-run bookstore! It's also discounted for me, how can it become **, isn't it**, how can you be poor and dare to speak! ”

The peddler seems to be very proud, and there is no fear of the general public for scholars, but it is very fierce, only need to look at a few glances, you know that these scholars are very poor, not to mention anything else in this imperial capital, a new dress is very cheap, and the clothes are so tattered, they are just those poor worms who can't pass the imperial examination, and can only shrink in the imperial capital and other poor opportunities.

That's right, the emperor is now almost the only one in the world, and the people who make a fortune don't have to take refuge in the group that exists under the wings of the gentry forces, and the others, whether they are salt merchants or pirates, either use money to buy readers, or send their sons to study like Zheng Zhilong, or even a farmer with a little money, just to quickly find a way to send his smartest son to study, once there are some signs of reading seeds, it can be a high-ranking official and noble, and no matter how bad it is, it can also protect the whole family from being bullied in the official face, If the young master of a landlord's family refuses to study, he will not be looked down upon.

In the era of the Ming Dynasty, many people who failed the imperial examination can be said to be miserable, not to mention, after Journey to the West became famous, there were a lot of sour people who rushed to write the Journey to the East, the Journey to the South, and the Journey to the North, but is it really that profitable.

He pointed at it arrogantly and said: "Don't bully the soft and be afraid of the hard, there is a kind of going to the bookstore to make trouble, going to the big bookstore to make trouble, and what kind of tricks do you have to play tricks with people like me who set up stalls to make money!" ”

Kong Yiji looked at him, but he was very angry, and shouted: "I have cleaned you up, and I can go to the government with the evidence and make public the things that have insulted the saints, and the people of the world will kill you!" ”

Kong Yiji's hands trembled, pointed to the ground and said, "You actually put these insulting words and these forbidden books together to sell, insulting Sven, insulting Sven!" ”

He was naturally angry, since he was drunk in the restaurant to relieve his sorrows, he found that there were people who were regarded as inferior people before who could eat and drink more boldly than himself, and he could read books, and even read insults to saints. He found this bookstall, this vendor with a small cart, usually pushes the cart, where there are many people, and most of the people who sell are ordinary people from the middle and lower classes, naturally it is a jade futon, a golden bottle of plum and the like, but there are a few books in it, which are naturally private goods mixed with the elders' association, claiming that they can engage in activities, buy five other books, and give away such a book, which is also a promotion.

He naturally also used it for promotion, in addition to books like "The Best Traitor for a Thousand Years, Generations of Left and Right Sources", there are also "On Zhu Xi** Two or Three Things", "Donglin and Salt Merchant, I Have to Tell the Story", what is the bullshit of the previous generation, it is naturally a lot of things.

The story is naturally very exciting, but those who are mentioned must be dissatisfied, but these people are either in Jiangnan, or have hung up, and their descendants are not much proud in the imperial capital, even the readers in the system do not know much about these book sales, so naturally there is no way to pay attention to it, so this book relies on the increasing literacy rate of factory workers, spread among workers, and slowly caused scolding, but it did not make a splash.

The so-called nothing to do, that is, a person is too idle, there is nothing to do, something is going to happen, you see the busy four-legged guy, there must be no time ***, engage in conspiracy.

In this imperial capital, the new officials are busy performing, looking forward to the future marquis and worship the prime minister, the businessmen are busy making money, the workers are busy making money, and the original idlers, what beggars and scoundrels, are all farming in the northeast, and there are only these down-and-out scholars.
