Chapter 1160: The Rise of the Republic VI

People who are in high positions and have every opportunity often have the problem of detachment from the masses.

Zhang Kexiang stayed in Tianjin all day, dealing with the rich people except the elders, what the people thought, he didn't care at all, and he didn't want to understand.

Wu Haogu is only as good as him. Wu Haogu also didn't care much about the people, otherwise he would not have created a republic where elite citizens ruled the country...... Youzhou has a population of several million! There are not 1 million but 800,000 in the converted account. There are only 80,000 citizen households.

In other words, 90 percent of households, at least 80 percent of the population (citizen households are generally more populous, are large households), are not politically represented. There is no political representation, and of course there is no economic interest.

The basis of the Youzhou Army is the land military service system, that is, the division of land as a soldier! It is quite a lot, a government soldier gives 200 acres, and a knight gives 1,500 acres. And Youzhou, including Lushun Mansion, how much arable land is there in total?

There are 60,000 or thousands of citizen households, and many of them who have made great contributions have to be given a little more, and they are basically gone. Therefore, the vast number of working people in Youzhou carried the work for the Liao people and the wealthy families of Yandi before Wuhao came to ancient times. After Wu Haogu came, he carried the work for the knights and government soldiers of the Youzhou Army, and his economic status and political status were the same, without any improvement.

But people always want to go higher, especially the traditional Chinese Confucian culture is more inspiring to struggle, so the poor family all look forward to the noble son. The working people of Youzhou are no exception.

So how can the working people turn over and call the shots?

There are roughly three ways on the side of Youzhou.

The first is, of course, a revolution, to overthrow the joint rule of the bourgeoisie, the knights and the soldiers, and then divide the land equally and live a happy life for all.

But the knights and soldiers of Youzhou are very capable of fighting, and the working people will definitely not be able to beat them, so this road is not passable!

The second way up is to study hard, be admitted to the Yuntai Academy, the Knight Academy, and the Naval Academy, and if you are admitted, you are a citizen!

Only when you become a citizen can you become an official, and it is easier to climb up.

However, the Yuntai Academy, the Knight Academy, and the Naval Academy are not easy to examine, and they are all ways of elite education. If you haven't studied in a new elementary school, you basically can't get in. The new-style primary school is only free for the children of knight households and government soldiers...... Where do working people go to earn tuition?

The third upward channel is to go to Tianjin to find opportunities to make a fortune. This is relatively reliable, and there are indeed many opportunities to make a fortune in Tianjin. Doing business, learning trades, working hard, and going to sea as a sailor, and of course, as a mercenary.

However, Tianjin is not likely to provide opportunities for everyone to rise. People who can develop are also very few here. Most of them are nothing more than proletarians who sell their labor power...... As for the opportunity for the proletarian revolution, it seems that it will have to wait until more than 800 years from now!

Therefore, in Youzhou, where the bourgeoisie is jointly ruled by the knights and the military class, it is still very difficult for the working people to rise.

At least in the eyes of Wu Haogu, the maker of the rules of the game, that's how it is!

But contrary to his expectations, the young men among the working people of Youzhou have always stubbornly believed that they still have a golden strip that can be easily climbed.

It is to follow the king to fight the world!

That's right, the vast number of working people don't live in Tianjin, and Rao is Youzhou, which is at the forefront of capitalist development, and the urbanization rate is also very low. Therefore, most of the working people are still tenant farmers and hired farmers, and the masters they see are not Wu Haogu and Zhang Kexiang, but Zhang Erdan and Zhang Nanpi, who have changed from poor middle peasants to "big landlords" with 200 acres of land.

Since Zhang Erdan can become a citizen master by fighting in the army, why can't the hired farmers who advocate the Nanpi family work for the land to fight a war to become a master?

Therefore, contrary to the expectations of those veterans in Tianjin (including Wu Haogu), when the news of the "million Liao soldiers" going to fight Youzhou spread, the countryside of Youzhou was cheering!

"Rich, rich......"

Monk Zhu, the long-term worker of Zhang Nanpi's family, was carrying two catties of pig's head meat and a pot of turbid wine home today, and as soon as he walked into his own dilapidated small courtyard, he shouted loudly.

In the courtyard, Monk Zhu's two brothers, Monk Zhu Er and Monk Zhu San, were basking in the sun. These two "monks" were both tenant farmers, and together they rented thirty acres of land from a knight's family to cultivate, barely making ends meet. Because there is no household tax (poll tax) here in Youzhou, in addition to paying rent, it is to serve a labor or pay some exemption money to the local government. In general, the burden is not very heavy. Therefore, the life of tenants and hired farmers is still passable.

But it's hard to get rich!

"How?" Monk Zhu Er looked at the pig's head meat and wine jug in his brother's hand, and swallowed his saliva, "Got Master Zhang's reward?" ”

"Ass! It would be nice if I didn't take my salary. ”

"Then how did you buy wine and meat?" Monk Zhu San asked, "This has to be dozens of dollars, right?" ”

"Haha," Monk Zhu beckoned, "Let's go, go into the house to drink wine and eat meat, my brother is happy today!" ”

"What's the joy? Let's talk to me and the second monk. ”

"Yes, is there something wrong with my sister-in-law?"

Monk Zhu smiled: "Women's affairs are urgent? The eldest husband should get rich first and then marry his mother-in-law! ”

He just wanted to marry his mother-in-law first, and no mother-in-law was willing to marry him.

The three monks of the Zhu family are all singles, and they don't have any property, how can any woman be willing to marry? Now it is not easy for Yandi's bachelors to solve life problems!

This is also because Wu Haogu placed a large number of knights and soldiers to Yandi after defeating the Liao people. The knights want to marry little wives, and most of the soldiers are bachelors from Hebei, and after they have land and real estate, of course, they also have to marry wives.

In addition, there are many true monks who were sent home by Wu Haogu, these are the original members of the Yandi Haoqiang family, and now they have also joined the team of marrying wives and concubines.

So for a period of time, there was a shortage of school-age women in Yandi......

Therefore, the three monks of the Zhu family can only think about women in a hurry.

"Yes, there is a war!" Monk Zhu's face was full of excitement, and he was so excited that he was about to tremble, "I heard about it at Zhang Nanpi's house...... Millions of Khitan came south to fight Lushun Mansion! ”

"What?"

"Really?"

The two "monks" who were squatting in the sun jumped up and stared at their brother.

Fighting!

Million Khitan ...... It's still a little scary to hear!

"Really!" Monk Zhu said, "Tonight, our brothers have a good meal, and tomorrow we will go to the army to fight the Khitan!" ”

"But the Khitan has a million ......," Monk Zhu San was timid.

"I'm afraid of a ball!" Monk Zhu Er said, "The Yan Wang Army is invincible!" It's good that the Khitan poured out of the nest, and after defeating them in a war, how much land in Liaodong can be divided! ”

"Yes, the Yan Wang Army is invincible!" Monk Zhu nodded heavily.

These peasants in Yandi are all working for the knights and government soldiers, and the information they hear is of course how awesome the Yan Wangjun is.

And if you think about it, you also know that the Yan Wangjun is awesome, and if you don't know it, you can beat the Khitans away?

Monk Zhu Er looked at his younger brother, "Third Monk, if you are afraid, stay from house to house and farm, and I and the big monk will go to join the army." If you die, you will be a soldier, and you will get 200 acres, and you will have a fall for the rest of your life. ”

Monk Zhu smiled: "Yes, Zhang Nanpi can do it, and we will definitely be able to get ahead!" ”

This is the wealth effect!

This is the magic of the military merit!

In the eyes of the common people of Yandi, most of them are knights and government soldiers. For the three "monks" of the Zhu family, do they want land? Do you want a woman? Do you want to raise children? Do you want to eat fragrant food and drink spicy food?

If you want, go to the army!

Usually there is no chance to join the army, but now Yelu Yanxi's bastard has come to die with a million Liao soldiers, and King Yan will definitely have a large number of soldiers, just to join the army to fight, whoever doesn't go is a bad seed, and he deserves to be poor for the rest of his life.

So, as the good news of the arrival of millions of Hulu from the south spread all over Yandi (because of the existence of knights and government soldiers, this news was transmitted quickly), Yandi suddenly boiled.

Yelu Yanxi's "million Liao soldiers" are a stepping stone to climb up in the eyes of the poor men who are suffering here in Yandi!

King Yan, hurry up and recruit troops!

The big guy can't wait......

……

can't wait for not only the poor middle peasants in Yandi, but also Zhang Kegong, the capital of the Great Song Dynasty and Hebei. Because the Zhang family still has power in Tianjin, the matter of spending money to hire Yandi heroes fell on him.

After writing a letter to Zhang Kexiang and several other veterans who were "loyal to the imperial court", he gave an explanation. Zhang Kegong personally went to Cangzhou Nanpi and Qingzhou Prefecture, and set up two yamen to recruit troops there. After the incident, he was still not at ease, so he disguised himself and came to Tianjin, the base camp of Wu Haogu.

Zhang Kegong is very familiar with Tianjin, and has been here many times, most of them are from micro-service. Not only did he not alarm Wu Haogu, but he also avoided Zhang Kegong a few times. Moreover, when he was in Hebei as the supervisor of the imperial history, he also helped Tao Jiefu set up an "intelligence base" in Tianjin. also sent Du Wenzhong, a traitor from the Wuhao ancient camp who defected to Zhangjia Jiangmen in the early years.

is Du Wenyu's elder brother, because he made too much money during his public position in Jiehe Shang City, Belin Chong arrested and arrested Du Wenzhong, who escaped. After he escaped from Jiehe Shang City, he somehow fell into the hands of Zhang Kegong (when Zhang Kegong was an official in Cangzhou), and later became a tool for the Zhang family to collect evidence of Wuhao ancient crimes. However, before Zhang Dayushi could overthrow Wu Haogu, Wu Haogu rebelled. So the evidence is useless, but Du Wenzhong is still useful. was sent to Tianjin as a sitting detective, because the upper line is Zhang Shuye and Zhang Kegong, so it is difficult to dig it out. Moreover, Du Wenzhong was old and frustrated, and he became cautious, so he opened a small study near Gonghefang (at the door of Wuhao Ancient House) to sell books and big characters from Kaifeng Mansion. has always been well-behaved, and no one has to check on him.
