"My family used to have thousands of acres of fertile land, and my childhood life was rich. I don’t want to say that luxury and food are also hunger and sorrow. The gold thief Shandong enclosed my land.
My family’s land was robbed, and my father refused to hand over the land. He was persecuted to death by the gold thief, and his family was ruined. Seventy-two people were full of people, and I lived alone. My gold thief had a blood feud. "
"What happened later?"
"Later, I wandered and starved with many refugees, had a hard meal, survived and suffered a lot. It was also good luck to hone a fight and led three or five partners in groups, but I didn’t starve to death. Later, I was led by the old leader to accept my family and have a place to live."
Zhou slowly talked about his tragic past, and Zhang Yuejing was also very impressed.
"You were born better than me, but then the experience was almost the same. My family is a general farmer with more than ten acres of fertile land to barely feed a family. There was a natural disaster and food was lost, and the family was forced to buy it, and it was dead.
I followed the refugees all the way and was lucky enough to be taken in by A Lang as a servant of Sue’s family, A Lang. That’s why I am today. If I had a little luck in those days, I would definitely starve to death. Now I can still recall the feeling of being hungry. "
Zhou nodded silently and didn’t speak. I don’t know if I recalled the hard birthday.
Zhang Yuejing looked at the silent week and thought for a moment, then slowly said, "Can you feel the suffering of ordinary people on the road to survival?"
Zhou looked up at Zhang Yuejing with a bitter face.
"That’s not the ordinary people suffering. At least there are more than ten acres of fertile land with a house. I didn’t have a personal appearance in those years. Even people almost stopped eating with people. It’s nothing to eat with wild dogs. It’s the most difficult thing.
Wild dogs are fierce, with sharp teeth and often in droves. We finally find something to eat. At the same time, we also ask the wild dogs to keep an eye on the wild dogs. They are cunning and especially don’t admit defeat. We have to beat them to death or cripple them to get rid of them, but then we will get hurt ourselves … "
Zhang Yuejing sighed.
"Yeah, that’s human suffering."
"Non-human suffering is really non-human suffering. It’s lucky to be able to carry it over. At that time, none of my three or five friends were alive and dead, leaving me alone."
Zhou said with a wry smile, "If this is the case, ordinary people are afraid that the sky has long been against it?"
"That’s true"
Zhang Yue scenic spots nodded and said, "It’s not easy for A Lang to swear to change such a cruel world before he took hundreds of us from Song Guobei to Shandong to build a bloody battle against Xu Jin Guo. Now it’s hard to look back on the past two years …"
Speaking of this matter, Zhou suddenly became interested.
"I have a lot of puzzles when listening to the instructor’s lecture. The most puzzling thing is that Su Shuai is coming to Shandong to rebel against General Zhang. You are Su Shuai’s staff. Do you know what Su Shuai is coming to Shandong to rebel? But I heard that Su Shuai was born in the Song Dynasty. "
"It is true that A Lang’s grandfather was a serious scholar and also participated in the Northern Expedition with General Yue Fei. Later, he worked as a county magistrate and secretariat and other local positions, and the rank of salt administration was not low."
"How can that be … I heard that Su Shuai later smuggled salt?"
"I don’t know the love. Anyway, when I was with A Lang, Sue’s family already smuggled salt. I don’t know much about A Lang’s grandfather and father. What I know is just A Lang."
"This … can you elaborate?"
Zhou’s face was full of interest.
Zhang Yue scenic spot nodded.
"Of course, A Lang has never concealed himself. I really feel that A Lang doesn’t look like everyone is like a heaven. You said that there are so many sufferings in this world that we should eat those people. How can people notice that I am hungry?
However, A Lang saw A Lang and said that when he went out for the first time and saw people freezing and starving on the street for the first time, he felt that the sky was falling down. It turned out that there were so many sufferings in the world, and I saw one before my eyes, but I didn’t see how many? Later … "
Zhang Yuejing told Zhou about what Su Yonglin said to him when he was with Su Yonglin.
Chapter 474 There is no fairy in the world, even if there is one, it is also a king’s egg.
Zhang Yuejing still remembers how Su Yonglin, a salt smuggling ship, replied to him when he asked the same question.
At that time, many people, such as Zhang Yuejing, didn’t understand what Su Yonglin did and how to do things. They didn’t know why he should take care of them so much and taught them to read.
They think they just need a bite to eat. Why do they need so much?
Su Yonglin shook his head with a slight smile for their doubts.
"Because I don’t think we are different, there are always people who say that some people are born noble and some people are born lowly. Two kinds of people are completely different, even if they breathe together.
I find it strange that both eyes, one nose, one mouth and two ears are walking on both feet. Both hands are walking, talking, eating and drinking. There are so many similarities. Why is it so different?
Are those starving people lazy? Not lazy at all. steaming in the summer, rustic back, burning in the sun, and other hard work? Are starving people stupid? They are not stupid, they can farm, they can watch the growth of agricultural products, they can catch insects, they can weed, they can water these things, and I can’t. If they are stupid, am I not more stupid than them?
Not lazy, not stupid and so hard-working, why don’t they have money, land, houses and even food? How can they grow so much food that they can’t eat enough? I have calculated that it is impossible to starve people to death unless the output is calculated according to the number of acres of land.
If they are not wrong, then who is wrong? I’ve thought about it for a long time and come to a conclusion that the fault is not that they are the lords in Lin’ an. They levy taxes indiscriminately, and if the normal tax is not enough to fill their desires, they will levy them.
Farmland should be taxed, farm tools should be taxed, cattle should be taxed, water should be taxed, and firewood should be taxed more than walking. How can there be so much tax? This is not true enough. If there is no name, borrow money and grain in advance, levy money and grain in advance, levy money and grain temporarily, levy money and grain temporarily, and send money and grain temporarily!
You see how much grows in so many fields, and they try to collect as much as they can. Isn’t it starving to death? They charge too much, too much, too much! Why charge so much? I’m starving. Can’t you see?
At that time, I was naive to think that they might have done what they did because they didn’t see it, but later I found out that they saw it, but that was their purpose, so that the people would have no strength to think about it, and they would have no strength to rebel.
Their ideal state is that the people are hungry and not dead. If they are full, they should think about whether they are hungry and rebel. It is best to be hungry and not dead, but they are too capable and greedy, so they always let the people starve to death!
You can’t go like this. If you don’t have enough to eat, you can rebel and replace the original court with a new one. Then you have to rebel and go around. It seems that the world has changed, but it doesn’t seem to change. People always starve to death.
Why can’t anyone build a country where no one will starve to death? Why doesn’t anyone want to collect less taxes and let the people eat more rice? I’ve been waiting for years and I can’t wait. I gave up. Since no one came, I’ll come. "
Su Yonglin turned to look at Zhang Yuejing and said with a smile, "I want to build a country where everyone can have enough to eat, no matter how difficult it is, no matter how many difficulties and obstacles, I will try."
Memory end limit regrets Zhang Yuejing looked at Zhou smiled.
"This is when A Lang spoke to me. To tell you the truth, I couldn’t think of what you said about A Lang’s son’s rich family. What’s to rebel? Isn’t it good for him to study hard to be an official and sell salt?
He’s from a family, and it’s also very simple for him not to say that high officials, dignitaries, luxurious clothes and luxurious food are all his life. Who can take away his property? Who can hold his head down? What, does he have to rebel in the state of Jin with his head up?
I wasn’t very white when he said those words, and I don’t think anyone can really build a country where everyone can eat. No one has ever been able to do this in A Lang. What? I really couldn’t understand it at that time.
But now I understand that A Lang is not a joke. He is really fighting for his life. He really wants everyone to eat. He didn’t open his mouth to talk about it. I don’t think A Lang is a mortal. "
Zhou recalled what he knew about Su Yonglin.
It’s only natural that a commander-in-chief who is in charge of hundreds of thousands of troops who can recruit good fighters should build a huge foundation, even if he doesn’t dominate the world, and make some ostentation and extravagance for himself.
But he can’t live simply, eat simply, wear simply, and spend money on himself without resplendence and jewels at home, which is quite rare.
In contrast, it’s hard to make money and try to make copper coins. If you earn copper coins, you don’t enjoy throwing a lot of money at the army yourself
Give a spoonful of oil to a piece of meat every three meals a day
Many soldiers have never seen such good food at all, and they feel that they used to live alone. They joined the Guangfu Army and followed Su Yonglin, and that’s when they became hui people.
This is of course true.
Since the Zhaoshan era, Su Yonglin’s soldiers have been better than his troops in food and clothing, and they have never starved to death, which is great.
The simple idea of following whoever can eat enough is in everyone’s heart, and that’s why he mixed up with Zhao Shan.
And Su Yonglin’s army can eat three meals for everyone, and can eat well occasionally. This is the strongest recruiting weapon.
Of course, he manages the army and the people.
Farmers living in the new countryside, he is really worried about exorbitant taxes and unreasonable donations and abolishing everything.
Not only that, but also land was given to farm tools, cattle were robbed from the Jin people and smashed into the countryside.
I also spent time and energy to teach them to read and organize some experienced old farmers to summarize their farming experience and write a paper record, and then send someone to organize and send it to various farmers’ associations for them to organize integrated learning.
Thinking of this week, I feel that the question of why Su Yonglin wants to rebel in Shandong is meaningless.
All the answers are in what Su Yonglin has done.
Don’t listen to anything, you can get the answer by watching what he does.
Because it is better to watch a person do one thing than to listen to a person say a hundred words.
From this moment on, I feel that if this generation must believe in a person and worship a person, then this person can be Su Yonglin.
It’s not that amazing.
He really wants everyone to have a full stomach, and this ambition is far beyond the hegemony of all ages.
"Su Shuai, maybe it’s a fairy who doesn’t like us having such a hard time and is reborn to save us."
