Outside the mountain, when will the West Lake sing and dance?

Fang La led the homeless and fishermen, who could not bear the oppression and exploitation of officials, bullies, and gentry, to take advantage of natural and man-made disasters to revolt and capture the million-strong city of Hangzhou before the imperial army could react.

Naturally, there is no shortage of conservative projects to insult and plunder, but Fang La, as a leader with aspirations, still has some level. The arsenal was opened and 20,000 elites were armed. The grain was opened and the land of the gentry was given to the landless peasants. Fang La soon gained the support of 50,000 troops, as well as hundreds of thousands of people in Hangzhou.

Immediately afterwards, Fang La called himself a general, worshiped the military advisor, divided the generals, and went through a complete set of "regularization" processes. Satisfied, Fang La began to gather the green forests from all over the world, and called on the heroes of the world to rise up together and overthrow the Great Zhou.

Repairing the city and preparing the army for war, Fang La is becoming the king in his heart. The imperial court was also mobilizing the box army and the border army to prepare for the encirclement and suppression of the other party, and the township soldiers and archers of the surrounding prefectures and counties of Hangzhou were divided into the main roads of the city under the strict orders of the imperial court.

At the same time, the north of the Great Zhou is not calm, and a small puddle called Liangshanbo is quietly gathering strength. Song Jiang, who used to be a government civil servant, dug the corner of the Great Zhou Dynasty for many years, and fled to Liangshan after the incident, and directly sat in the position of the second master.

The warm wind smokes the tourists drunk, and Hangzhou is regarded as Bianzhou.

Fang La's golden knife, sitting in the position of Hangzhou Zhizhou, the once majestic Zhizhou Yamen was in chaos.

Triumphantly, Fang La looked at the officials and gentry in the audience. The giant city of Hangzhou, with a population of one million, was succeeded by him with one blow, and Fang La seized countless food and materials, and was able to expand the army by tens of thousands in one fell swoop.

With Hangzhou Jiancheng as the backing, Fang La planned to capture the entire Jiangnan East Road, reorganize the armor and warships, and then compete with the Great Zhou court. The prosperity of the two roads in the south of the Yangtze River is the most prosperous in the world, is it not enough to toss yourself?

The originally high-ranking Hangzhou gentry were tortured, many of their property was taken away, and their wives and daughters were prostituted, but few people were demoted. It's not that it's loyal to the monarch and the country, of course, there are also those who are iron-clad, such as Zhizhou, who still scolds after cutting off his limbs.

But for most of the gentry, it is not a psychological burden for you to let them take refuge in the Mongols, Jurchens, and aliens. The premise is that you can succeed and ensure the interests of us gentry, saints, and righteous gentlemen!

The problem is here, Fang La can't guarantee either, so it's more embarrassing. Only a very small number of people could not bear the torture and surrendered, and most of them would rather fight to the death lest the entire clan be eradicated by the Great Zhou.

Some gentry simply don't look at Fang La, and they have been carrying it all the time. Of course, there are many people whose families have been detained, but they think that although there are all kinds of problems in the Great Zhou, it is not yet time to change the dynasty......

Fang La swept the fierce generals who had followed him for many years in the hall, and he was full of pride. To dominate one side, you still have to rely on your own brothers who can fight! Those gentry don't want it, just feed it to the dogs, anyway, it's not the same heart as themselves.

Fang La's broken gong voice sounded, "Brothers, have worked hard, Hangzhou Mansion, let's stand down!" A group of people in the hall were clamoring, and a few rough men were the loudest.

"But we still have to hurry, it's not easy to deal with the border armies of the two families. Let's grab more territory, prepare more grain and grass, and pull more people, so that we can meet the officers and soldiers! If great things are accomplished, share the wealth. In the end, Fang La, like the boss before the listing, promised shares to his subordinates.

"Dare to disobey!" Fang La's henchmen and generals and dog-headed military advisors saluted in unison, and the big banner with the word "Fang" on the city wall of Hangzhou hunted and hunted. Everywhere in Hangzhou, the fire is still continuous, and the women's wails and begs for mercy are endless.

Outside the Zhizhou Yamen, the Hangzhou Zhizhou, who had his limbs cut off and his tongue cut off, dipped the blood in his mouth, wrote more than a dozen shocking characters on the ground, and took advantage of the doubts of the soldiers of the Fangla Army who surrounded him, and struggled to pounce on a soldier.

"The traitor Fang La, slaughtering the gentry. Against the dynasty, you can't die well! ”

At the beginning of February of the second year of Qinzong, Fang La, who initially digested the Hangzhou Prefecture, broke the encirclement composed of the Xiang army and the township soldiers and archers, plundered the Jiangnan East Road, and sent the documents for help to Kaifeng like snowflakes. At the same time, after the defeat of the Liao State, a decent envoy rushed to Bianjing.

……

Time back to the first year of Emperor Qinzong, Chinese New Year's Eve, Mingyue Village, the big playground.

Watching their little dolls dressed up as monkeys, writhing around on the stage, chaotic, the soldiers and villagers laughed until they burst into tears. When Li Xiaofuzi didn't come, Mingyue Village was the same as other villages in Xunyang Mountain, a group of poor people, a group of panicked, how could they be reunited and happy!

After Li Xiang came to Mingyue Village, he quickly gained a firm foothold, and then stood at the top level. First, he taught these children who had no chance to read and write, then discovered the fish passage, then discovered iron ore and built an earthen blast furnace.

The winter is getting colder and colder, and Li Xiang took everyone to make down jackets and cheap cold-proof clothes. For the first time on the mountain, they, the villagers, had the right to go out in winter.

The villagers were short of food, and it was Li Xiang who learned the knowledge from the agricultural books of the Great Zhou Dynasty and taught everyone to improve fertilizers and build water conservancy. Mingyue Village, like many villages in Xunyang Mountain, is not short of water, after all, it is Hanshui and Danjiang, and the surrounding streams and rivers are all over it, and what is lacking is only fertilizer and water conservancy.

Li Xiang learned from the experience of the Great Zhou Agricultural Book and persuaded the old farmers in the village to promote the production of new farm fertilizer, and the effect should be seen next year.

If it goes well, the grain production in Mingyuezhai will increase on a large scale from next year. Coupled with the chickens, ducks, geese, pigs and so on stocked in the mountains and forests, Mingyue Village is expected to achieve self-sufficiency in food.

In addition, Li Xiang also planned to use small reservoirs and waterwheels to improve the irrigation conditions of a large number of mountainous areas according to the topography, but he temporarily gave up due to lack of human and financial resources.

In short, this series of changes is seen in the eyes of the villagers and remembered in their hearts. In addition, Li Xiangjian's workshop hires manpower, and the youth camp hires disabled veterans, uniting big and small leaders with shares......

Unconsciously, the entire Mingyue Village, from top to bottom, almost regarded Li Xiang as the best choice for the heir of the village. And except for a very few people, they all look forward to Li Xiang and Liu Susu getting married as soon as possible.

What Li Xiang did was actually not mysterious at all, the so-called new technologies and new methods were basically in place for the Great Zhou, but they were too poor in inheritance, circulation and promotion.

In fact, in all dynasties, China's craftsmen and even farmers have not lacked innovative thinking, after all, everyone wants to live a good life. It's just that Confucianism generally adopts a suppressive attitude towards technological progress.

The so-called "strange tricks and tricks" are actually just afraid that the power contained in them will subvert the gentry. The fact that craftsmen were relegated to the rank of lowly and deprived of literacy and official power is a good example of the weakness of the gentry class.

The gentry of the Great Zhou Dynasty controlled all social resources, and the righteous men and gentlemen, and the children of sages enjoyed the sense of superiority brought by the top of the pyramid, and extended their tentacles to all aspects of society through Confucianism, imperial examinations, and clans.

These tentacles are very intelligent and sensitive, and they suppress everything that cannot be completely controlled by them in time, and they silently destroy these heresies. Logical thinking and the system of natural sciences will bring liberal, systematic, and independent ideas and doctrines, and open the door to the industrial age, so they will be most severely suppressed.

Artisans who are illiterate, have no freedom, and are not even able to preserve their property are of course not much motivated in the face of advanced technology. Even if some craftsmen have some good skills, they must be held in their own hands and passed on to their children and grandchildren as iron rice bowls, and many excellent science and technology have disappeared in the long river of time.

Horseman's wall. Possessing huge property without corresponding status is the original sin of the small people, which is equivalent to a beggar holding gold to swagger through the market, and sooner or later become the fat of the gentry class.

When the small 2,000 villagers of Mingyue Village cheered for the small iron mine and earthen blast furnace, Huang Liren, an old man who regarded himself as "strict self-discipline" and "self-denial", exchanged interests with Cai Jing while treating Mingyue Village as his own bag, and the price was likely to be the thousands of villagers in Mingyue Village.

But this young saint who was also a high-spirited saint has no psychological burden, Xiaomin actually wants to own iron ore, is there any heavenly reason?! The sage cloud, save the principles of heaven, and destroy people's desires! You small people, you should obey Wang Hua and farm the land well, as for this iron mine? I had to suffer a little bit and do it for me......

As for what the villagers of Mingyue Village think, hehe, do ants have ideas? What do they dare to think?!

Li Xiang thought that he had made a lot of compromises in this era, such as the upper and lower levels of Mingyue Village. But Li Xiang has not yet come into contact with the mainstream society of the Great Zhou, but he doesn't know that Mingyuezhai is already transforming.

Li Xiang's ideas that are commonplace in modern society, such as the equality of the four people, the protection of private property and academic independence, and the service of power to taxpayers, inevitably gradually influenced the entire Mingyuezhai group through his conduct in the world. For the villagers who are seriously insecure, Li Xiang's thinking and way of doing things are like a long drought, like a painful person smelling drugs.

But these ideas were heretical in the eyes of the scholars. A few years later, when Li Xiang temporarily broke with the gentry class of the Great Zhou, he found that everything was doomed after he took control of Mingyue Village.
