Su Yonglin did not rebel because he was bullied by the Jin people, he rebelled for the sake of the farmers.
The purpose of his rebellion was not to destroy the Kingdom of Jin, but to settle the accounts with the superiors and create a new era.
A new era of rebellion that goes against all the books of saints and destroys the world.
After reading Su Yonglin's manuscript, Zhao Xirui waited for Su Yonglin's call with great uneasiness and only a little curiosity.
While waiting, she looked at Su Yonglin's manuscript over and over again, looking at the extremely true stories in it, and compared it with the principles she had read in the sages' books. In a daze, she felt that these principles were very empty.
But Su Yonglin was already moving forward step by step according to his plans and assumptions.
So after finally arriving in Zhongdu and seeing Su Yonglin, whom she had missed for a long time, she couldn't help but take out his manuscript and ask him about the origin of everything.
Su Yonglin looked at Zhao Xirui's expression full of confusion and uneasiness, and rubbed his temples.
"By the way, I was in a hurry and put these in the box and sent them back to Linyi. It was indeed my negligence. I didn't want you to see them at first, but now you have seen them all."
"Shouldn't I see it? Shouldn't I know this? You promised me you wouldn't hide anything from me."
Zhao Xirui stared at Su Yonglin.
"I'm not trying to hide anything."
Su Yonglin shook his head: "I didn't hide anything from you about the battle situation of the Liberation Army, my situation, and what might happen during the war, right?"
"That's true, but what's going on?"
Zhao Xirui held Su Yonglin's hand: "You never told me that you were going to do such a dangerous thing. You never told me that you wanted to be the enemy of the world."
"People from all over the world?"
Su Yonglin thought for a while and said with a smile: "It is indeed the people of the world, because they do not regard ordinary people as human beings, so in their eyes, I am indeed the enemy of the people of the world.
But if you go the other way and look at the common people as human beings, then it is this group of superior people who are enemies of the world. This is how I look at it, so I am the majority and they are the minority. I am not alone. "
Zhao Xirui was stunned and did not turn around for a while.
"Xirui, actually, I originally planned to show you these things after I conquered Zhongdu, so that you could know what I was going to do. I didn't tell you before because I didn't know if I could fight. Win over Yanliang."
Su Yonglin held Zhao Xirui's hand and said warmly: "If I can't beat Wan Yanliang, these are just castles in the air. No matter what I say, it's meaningless and will only make me laugh.
But if I win, I will be confident and qualified to do such a thing. This is what I will definitely do. You are my wife and my pillow. I will not hide it no matter what. With you. "
"is that so?"
Zhao Xirui calmed down and looked at Su Yonglin deeply: "So, what do you think I will think?"
"If you support me, I will be happy, I will be happy that the person on my bed is my kindred spirit, and you will be the first woman to agree with my ideals."
Su Yonglin smiled and said: "If you don't support me, nothing will happen to me. I will still do what I want to do. Of course, I will prepare a way out for you in advance, because if I fail, I won't I hope you die with me."
"Would you really be happy if I agreed?"
Zhao Xirui asked.
"Of course, because I really need someone to support me. I can't do this alone. I need many, many people to support me, and then I can do it."
Su Yonglin asked: "Now that you have read my manuscript, how do you feel?"
"Feel?"
Zhao Xirui blinked, was silent for a while, and asked, "Are farmers really living that hard?"
"What I wrote was what I witnessed with my own eyes. There is no falsehood at all. It was precisely because I saw their suffering that I abandoned my previous thoughts."
Su Yonglin sighed: "Once upon a time, my life was just like yours. It was very comfortable. I had clothes to put out my hands and food to open my mouth. I was carefree. I once thought about studying and going to school, taking the imperial examination, becoming a Jinshi, and doing... An official, continue to live like this forever.
But when I saw these farmers living like wild dogs, I was very painful and confused. I don’t know if I can change all this if I become an official, but I think I will probably be complicit. of.
A system from top to bottom, from construction to creation, is designed to exploit and oppress. If you expect to be able to survive alone in it, it would be to think too highly of yourself and underestimate others.
I may be able to persist for one year, two years, or at most three years, but then I will join the others and do the things I hated most. I will be corrupt, I will bully my subordinates, I will flatter my superiors, I will Do things that are so disgusting that they make you throw up.
So, I simply jumped out, I stopped playing with them, I wanted to jump out of this circle, this system, find a new path, go on this path, and create a brand new future.
Then I can tell them that they are wrong, very wrong. They think that by keeping the world unchanged, they can maintain their privileges forever. That is impossible! "
"Is what the saint said really wrong?"
Zhao Xirui looked at Su Yonglin, his face full of struggle and hesitation.
Su Yonglin shook his head.
"The saint is right, but not everyone is a saint. They just use the saint's banner to realize their selfish desires. As for what the saint said, they don't care."
Zhao Xirui was stunned on the spot and couldn't speak for a while.
"If you are still confused, I will take some time to take you out tomorrow. You need to go deep into the folk to see some things that you cannot see under normal circumstances. After seeing those things, you will be able to feel my I hope those things can help you understand some things you can’t figure out.”
Su Yonglin made this suggestion, and Zhao Xirui nodded decisively in agreement.
So the next day, Su Yonglin and Zhao Xirui left Zhongdu City together and went to visit a new rural area in the northeast of Zhongdu City that had just completed land distribution.
This village is quite representative. It is exploited for agricultural products in peacetime and human lives during war. The entire male labor force in the village was captured during Wanyan Liang's Southern Expedition, and only three or five people managed to escape.
During the Southern Expedition, after Su Yonglin successfully counterattacked Yanyun, more than 20 people who joined the Liberation Army were finally allowed to leave the army and return home.
When they left, more than 110 of them were kidnapped, which was equivalent to a direct loss of more than 80% of the male labor force.
Therefore, when allocating the land, all the young and strong women in the family were counted as laborers. Su Yonglin also paid special attention to the village and allocated seven cattle to them to assist in plowing the land.
On that day, it is said that every household hung white flags and the cries shook the sky.
The family where the man was lucky enough to return home cried with joy. The family members hugged each other and cried. The old man smashed the memorial tablet and cried together.
Su Yonglin introduced the specific situation of this village, and Zhao Xirui showed a look of intolerance.
After entering the village, the village's resident instructor Lu Hua was responsible for guiding Su Yonglin and Zhao Xirui, introducing the actual situation in the village while leading the way.
"We arrived too late after all. During the spring plowing, there were very few men left in the village. There were no manpower to plant the land in the spring. After all, the entire village's land had been cultivated for 60% of what it used to be. It was almost June when we arrived. ,That's too late.
Fortunately, more than 20 men came back, so there were people to do the summer work, weeding and pest control. The village farmers' association discussed that after the men had finished their own work, they could help the family who had lost the backbone of the family. Give it a pull.
The manpower in the village behind was really not enough, so I wrote to the township, and the township farmers' association borrowed ten strong laborers from the next village to help. The summer work was barely done, but this year's grain harvest could only be The 60% of previous years may not be enough. "
Lu Hua frowned as he spoke, his face full of bitterness.
