Because Fuxing members worked tirelessly to travel and preach widely, before the second batch of Hongwu political treatises was released in mid-April of the third year of Hongwu, it was conservatively estimated that 60 to 70% of the people in the entire Ming Dynasty knew some of the contents of Hongwu political treatises. .
With the release of the second batch of two million copies of "Hongwu Political Treatise", more and more people will know about this book, its content, and what Su Yonglin wants to say to them. Something to tell them.
Su Yonglin exposed the rotten parts of history to them, letting them see the filth and blood inside, smell the fishy smell inside, and feel these dirty things up close and intuitively.
He allowed these people who had never understood history and politics to understand for the first time the darkness of politics and the reason for their terrible situation.
Compared with the previous sporadic and unsystematic teachings to the people at the bottom, this time, because there are textbooks, a clear system, and corresponding cases, the teaching efficiency is very high and the effect is very good.
And compared with the previous concentrated teaching in rural areas, this time, in addition to rural areas, the ideas of Su Yonglin and the Renaissance Society have penetrated into cities for the first time.
In big cities or small cities, it is the first time that the urban citizen class, which is growing with the economic development, has received such in-depth political and historical education.
One after another, open-air podiums were set up, and one after another revival members took the stage to preach, with excitement and excitement.
When they talked about the rise, they even gave their own personal experiences, comparing their poor background with their current life.
It was probably because of occupational diseases that they unconsciously used a format similar to a public trial, making the lecture like a historical trial, bringing everyone to remember the bitter and sweet things, and making people burst into tears.
But no matter what, the effect of the preaching is excellent.
Hongwu's political commentary spread throughout the territory of the Ming Dynasty at the fastest speed in a very short period of time and under a very ordinary traffic environment.
From Liaodong to Hexi, even if they don't know the contents, people know that a book called "Hongwu Political Commentary" was written by the Ming Emperor himself. It is on sale to the outside world and can be purchased by everyone.
As Hongwu's political treatise became a hit in the Ming Dynasty and became a super bestseller that everyone was willing to understand and read, those [people's literatures] that were subtly related to Hongwu's political treatise also began to quietly become popular.
As we all know, the protagonists of books since ancient times have been emperors, generals, and sages from ancient times, and they have never been ordinary people.
The traces they can leave in the book are probably no more than these six words: "When people are hungry, people can eat each other".
Even with the rise of the civil class and the rise of civilian literature, the protagonists of legends are mostly talented and beautiful, scholars, graceful sons, beautiful and tender young ladies, and most of them come from wealthy families.
No one has ever thought of telling some miserable stories with the poor people at the bottom as the protagonists.
At this moment, pure vernacular legends such as "The White-Haired Girl" and "The Rooster Crows in the Midnight" were born. Their protagonists were not the elegant young masters and the beautiful and tender young ladies, but the tenant farmers and their children who came from miserable backgrounds.
These legends are not about free love and emotions, but about human suffering, blood and tears.
These legends were initially circulated among literate groups and had a great impact, shocking the perceptions of many people. However, it was the members of the Renaissance who really made these stories spread widely and even reach the bottom.
They would often take out these legends to preach to the peasants during the breaks of preaching Hongwu's political commentaries. Compared with Su Yonglin's political commentaries, which were more political in nature, the peasant group, which was mainly semi-literate and illiterate, was obviously more interested in the stories.
In just two or three months, stories such as "The White-Haired Girl" and "The Rooster Crows in the Midnight" spread throughout the Ming Dynasty at a speed comparable to that of "Hongwu Political Commentary", from Hexi to Liaodong, spanning thousands of miles from east to west. remote.
Almost all the people at the bottom of the Ming Dynasty knew about Xi'er, knew about Yang Bailao, knew about Huang Shiren, knew about Zhou Papi, and knew about the misery of tenant farmers and the cruelty of landlords.
This is by no means a fiction or a slander. What the real landowners and squires did was only more cruel than them.
Everything that the tenant farmers have belongs to the master. I want your daughter. How dare you resist?
Do I still need to use various means to deceive you to get you to hand over your daughter?
I want you to work from morning to night without any rest, but I don’t want to pay you wages. Do you need to get up in the middle of the night to let the rooster crow?
Are you kidding me? I'm not sleepy at night.
Whatever I say is whatever I say, and I will do it if I ask you to do it!
Quit?
Hand over the land! roll!
There are no three-legged toads to be found, and two-legged poor ghosts are everywhere. You are not missing!
From this perspective, these legends glorify those unscrupulous people, actually making them more "civilized" and using strategies to harm farmers instead of purely using violence to oppress them.
However, there are indeed some landlord families who claim to be civilized and educated people who do not like to use violent means to force tenants to sell their souls for them, but will use various methods.
They prefer to use the information gap between the two parties to crush the tenants in terms of IQ and rules, watch their despair, and feel the pleasure of playing with them from above.
In their view, simple violent suppression is considered a low-class behavior, something only the nouveau riche would do. These people consider themselves superior people, but look down on those nouveau riche who go straight.
We who studied in the Spring and Autumn Period are all civilized, we always persuade others with virtue, and we don't do such rude things.
Of course, this kind of person is more perverted than a pure violent maniac.
Perhaps these stories are too universal, and many people may have personally experienced such oppression in the past, so these stories can often arouse great empathy among farmers, making them extremely sympathetic to poor Xi'er and Yang Bailao, and they hate their conscience. Huang Shiren and Zhou Bapi.
By the end of the revival members' speech, the farmers who listened to their preaching were often in tears.
After the atmosphere was in place, Fuxing members would raise their arms and shout slogans such as "Down with the local tyrants and evil gentry", "The land belongs to our farmers" and "Fight the local tyrants and evil gentry to the end", which can arouse their anger.
Su Yonglin personally created a strong anti-Confucianism, anti-local tyrants and evil gentry, anti-exploitation and oppression storm roaring across the Central Plains.
As a result, no one knows how many people will feel the bone-chilling chill and great fear.
After Su Yonglin heard the local news, he was overjoyed, but he still felt that it was not enough and wanted to add more fuel to the fire.
He hopes that someone can express these stories in the form of performances and use real people to interpret them for the common people to watch, so that they can feel Xi'er's tragedy and Huang Shiren's hatefulness more intuitively.
The books will be spread to the north and south of the country, and these live-action plays should also be spread to the north and south of the country to more intuitively convey the values of the Renaissance Society to people.
After Su Yonglin came up with this idea, he immediately presented it at the central meeting of the Renaissance Association.
Finally, the Central Committee of the Renaissance Association passed a resolution to establish a professional group specifically responsible for performing these stories.
Therefore, the drama troupe under the Central Committee of the Renaissance was announced. The purpose and task of their birth was to make these stories more deeply rooted in people's hearts through interpretation and strive to have a far-reaching impact.
With the resolution to establish a drama troupe, Su Yonglin proposed another far-reaching motion.
Women began to be admitted into revival meetings.
Su Yonglin's reason was very direct and simple, and seemed nothing special.
Just to make the drama more lively.
"The character of Xi'er is a woman, a girl in her twenties and eighties. Only when such a delicate woman is coerced by Huang Shiren can her tragedy be reflected to the greatest extent. If it were a man, it would not be able to express this sense of despair.
Therefore, I suggest that this role must be played by a woman. Whether it is changed to a man or a man pretending to be a woman, it will not meet that demand. In order to meet that demand, we should accept women to join the revival association. , entered the theater troupe to work. "
