Farmer
Peasants had always been a special class in China's history, even though they were at the bottom of society. However, due to their huge numbers, they possessed extremely powerful strength.
Perhaps in the eyes of many people, farmers were synonymous with stupidity, poverty, and cowardice, but how could this be true?
People's intelligence might be different from birth, but in fact, it was more cultivated after birth. Most of them just lacked that kind of foundation. Sometimes, even if they had some ideas, they were powerless!
They did not have any capital at all, so when faced with great storms, they were like ordinary grass. However, they were generally tough and had a strong vitality like grass! This was also the origin of the term 'grass commoner'. They were as lowly as grass, but also as tenacious as grass!
However, they also had their own characteristics. To put it bluntly, they were stubborn. To put it nicely, they were persistent. In fact, that was the case, although it was still a bit of bullying. However, as long as it touched their fundamental interests, as long as there was someone to lead them, they could erupt with powerful strength!
Therefore, Zhang Yu had never underestimated these people from the beginning. It could even be said that he valued them more.
However, he was also very careful, because this class was also the easiest to be instigated and fooled, which was why there was the saying of ignorant people.
And even if there were some wise ones among them, they would be easily swept away by the waves. In fact, this was because most people did not have much knowledge, so they were easily bewitched.
Zhang Yu was quite familiar with this, so the next literacy work was urgent. However, even so, this project could not be completed in one generation. It would require at least two or three generations to transform.
This was under the premise that Zhang Yu had the help of the system. Without it, this project might take at least 100 years.
However, Zhang Yu did not have that much free time to do this. What he needed to do now was to gather these people together and help China get out of its current predicament.
At this moment, in the village where Zhang Yu was previously, many people could not sleep.
However, they did not have the ability to light up the place, so they could only sit by the window and communicate with the faint moonlight.
"Father, tomorrow Zhang Yu and the others said that they are going to hold some public trial in town. They said that it is some kind of grievance meeting? He wondered what Liu Dahai and the bandits who had been captured in the past few days were up to.”A young man sitting on the brick bed said enviously.
He and Zhang Yu had known each other for a long time, but their relationship was very ordinary. Otherwise, he would have gone up to get close to them long ago.
In fact, he also wanted to go up and get close to him, but in these two days, Zhang Yu had been running around everywhere. He couldn't find him even if he wanted to. Even if he wanted to seek wealth from danger, he could not do so when he saw the heavily guarded guards beside him.
He was a little afraid. These soldiers really dared to kill people. He heard that in the past few days, they had killed thousands of bandits.
"Why do you care about such things? We just have to be careful and be our own people. No matter what kind of trouble there is, it won't affect us. Moreover, don't look at Zhang Yu's current glory. Whether he could persist or not was still another matter! The marshals on the side saw this person suddenly appear. What kind of thoughts would that be? So, there are still battles to be fought. We just need to watch.”The young man's father said calmly on the other side.
"But Dad, I heard that the people who went to work at the construction site these few days were paid every day. There was never any delay. Moreover, the food they ate was the best.”The young man said enviously. His family might not even eat meat during the New Year.
On the other hand, as long as one worked hard every day, not only would they get meat to eat, but they would also get paid. How could there be such a good thing?
"Don't covet those things. If we take this money now, when that Zhang fellow falls, we'll also be unlucky. Let those who took the money laugh first!”His father said with some jealousy. He was really a little envious now.
"But father, you don't think that Zhang Yu is that good? I think his soldiers are much stronger than those of the marshals.”The young man asked in confusion.
"You don't know how rich their family is. How can we villagers not know? With their family's little fortune, they definitely wouldn't be able to hold on for long. He only had a few thousand soldiers under him, while the marshals beside him had tens of thousands of soldiers.”The old man said proudly.
For an ordinary person like him, whose knowledge came mostly from storytellers, various stories, and things passed down by word of mouth, the more people there were, the better.
His son, who was at the side, also thought about it for a while after hearing it. Then, he also seemed to agree.
At this moment, there were basically two kinds of people in other families. One was like before, and the other was gradually developing trust in Zhang Yu.
At this moment, in another relatively dilapidated courtyard, an old man was holding some copper coins in his hand and thinking about something.
These copper coins were earned by the old man's son, Liu Hu, who worked on the construction site. He had earned a hundred yuan in two days.
Hu Liu took all the money home. After all, he didn't need the money at the moment. As long as he continued to work, the money would continue to come.
However, when his father saw the money, he was not very calm. The old man had experienced the previous dynasty and the decades of war in the Republic of China. He had seen almost all kinds of armies, but he had never seen anyone who did what they said.
The old man might have many thoughts in his mind, but he could not express them all at this moment.
However, after a period of consideration, the old man decided to confirm some things.
In the other villages and towns that had just been occupied, most of the people were so nervous that they did not even dare to sleep because they were worried about their future.
Although in the eyes of most people, it didn't matter which marshal was in charge after the war, it was still better to be more careful during the war.
In a few prisoner-of-war camps, as well as a few places where local tyrants and evil gentry were imprisoned. It was filled with all kinds of curses. Since they wanted to publicly interrogate these guys, they naturally couldn't let these guys lose their lives early.
Therefore, they now had the opportunity to curse. However, the bandits and the local tyrants and evil gentry had different thoughts on this point. Most of the bandits were already scared out of their wits, and they just stayed there timidly.
On the contrary, the local tyrants and evil gentry were cursing with full confidence.
To them, they either had a relative who knew them well here or a relative who was a soldier there.
In any case, all kinds of threats and temptations came together, and they had to fight for a trace of life.
However, the guards who were staring at them from the side could not be bothered to pay attention to them at all, because they were destined to be enemies from the beginning.
