Someone Was Watching
Three days later, a five-year-old child was leading a horse and shaking the market in Jing State City! This was the first time he had entered a city that was completely dominated by the Han people!
Currently, Jingzhou was still under the jurisdiction of the Southern Song Dynasty. The city was also filled with Han people, unlike Dali, where half of the people were minorities!
The entire Jingzhou City was bustling with people coming and going. It was extremely lively. Yang Yi was very surprised. He had a hundred taels of silver in his hand, but he didn't know what to buy!
Now that the Song Dynasty was mentioned, people's impression of him was that he was weak and chaotic, but in fact, the Song Dynasty was not weak at all. The Song Dynasty was the most prosperous era.
Someone once said,"The culture of the Chinese people has evolved for thousands of years and reached its peak in the era of Zhao and Song.”This sentence was not an exaggeration at all. The Song Dynasty was really a huge pearl in history. However, it was only in terms of the economy.
The Song Dynasty was the most prosperous dynasty in ancient history. One of the four great inventions, printing, was invented in the Song Dynasty. The other inventions reached their peak in the Song Dynasty. The Song Dynasty's economy was extremely prosperous. According to the research of foreign scholars, the gross national product of the Northern Song Dynasty reached 80% of the world at that time, which showed the level of economic development in the Song Dynasty. Not only that, the Song Dynasty's foreign trade was very prosperous. In the Song Dynasty, ships could already cross the Indian Ocean to the Red Sea and East Africa, far beyond the range of the Tang Dynasty. The Song Dynasty's shipbuilding technology was the best in the world at that time.
Compared with other dynasties, the Song Dynasty did not implement a policy of emphasizing agriculture and suppressing commerce. The Song Dynasty's commerce was very developed. It was also because of the development of commerce that the commodity economy was very developed at that time, and towns appeared. Therefore, in the Song Dynasty alone, the seeds of capitalist growth appeared in China, far more than in other parts of the world.
If one were to compare the Song Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty, people would definitely choose the Tang Dynasty, but the fact was that the Song Dynasty existed for a long time. The Tang Dynasty lasted 289 years from 618 to 907. The Song Dynasty lasted from 960 to 1279, 316 years.
People might exclaim,"How could the Song Dynasty have existed for so long?" It was actually longer than the Tang Dynasty. Was this true? However, this was the truth. Moreover, the Song Dynasty's military was not as weak as people thought. It was even stronger than the Tang Dynasty.
Some scholars had already proven that the Song Dynasty had a 70% success rate in foreign wars. Even if it was as powerful as the Han and Tang Dynasties, it would not have such a success rate. However, due to the lack of war horses, the military victory of the Song Dynasty was mainly a battle of defeat, not a battle of annihilation. Although the Song Dynasty gave people the impression that it was poor and weak, in fact, the Song Dynasty was not weak at all.
It was just that the Song Emperor's repeated compromises, reparations, persecutions of loyal officials, and favours of crafty sycophants caused people to view the dynasty through colored glasses. Nowadays, whenever people mentioned the Song Dynasty, they still used the words "weak" and "cowardly".
Jingzhou was located on the south side of the Yangtze River, and the north side was already under the jurisdiction of the Jin people! The current golden men had also fallen, just like the Eight Banners soldiers of the Qing Dynasty who entered the pass in the future. They had all become rich young masters, and sometimes they could not even defeat the Song soldiers! It wasn't long before the country was destroyed by the Mongolians!
On the streets,
"Hey, tall ones, persimmons, not bitter ones, and bitter ones!”
The person selling the radishes in his heart shouted,"Radish is better than pear---”
The person selling candied haws shouted,"Honey, hey, hey, candied haws!"”
The goldfish seller shouted," One big one, two big one. I'm not selling cucumbers. I'm selling goldfish of all sizes!”
The peaches seller shouted,""This was not made by Eldest Young Lady, nor was it embroidered by Second Young Lady. This was a flat peach-shaped peach that Third Young Lady stepped on when she was strolling in the garden!”……
"Kang chicken!”
"Scraping the comb, scraping the comb!”
"Rice, millet, green beans, white flour, and five pieces of congee-sugar and pea buns!”
" Roasted Whitefruit! Whitefruit!"
"The radish of Liwai Qing!" The sound of shouting entered his ears.
Yang Yi really didn't know what to buy. He took out ten taels of silver from the space and it was still in his hand!
On the street, Yang Yi's behavior had long attracted the attention of everyone. A child holding a sword and silver in his hand was looking east and west. He was completely ashamed of Yang Yi, who had never entered the city. However, this child was too cute!
She was holding a horse with her little hand. Why didn't she let the horse pull her away? However, where was this child? Why didn't she see him?
Among them, two groups of people were already secretly keeping a close eye on Yang Yi. The first group was the number one force in the Jing State. They claimed to be the number one gang in the world, but in fact, they were the number two gang in the world, the Iron Palm Gang!
The second group of people was the Beggar's Sect, which had never claimed to be the largest sect, but was the true largest sect with more than a million members. They were distributed in the north and south of the Yangtze River, inside and outside the pass, divided into the Pure Clothes Sect and the Dirty Clothes Sect! Because the number of people could not be counted, the government and those in power adopted an attitude of turning a blind eye to the development. As long as they did not participate in the uprising, they would not take any action to ban them. There was no dynasty in the world that did not become a beggar. They gathered together to fight for the gang, and their behavior was between good and evil.
However, it was still not bad now. Before Xiao Feng became the sect master of Beggar's Sect, Beggar's Sect was not good. When it came to Heaven Sword and Dragon Sabre, Beggar's Sect was not good anymore!
Beggar's Sect is divided into grades according to the number of bags. The most is nine bags, and the least is no bag. Since the end of the Tang Dynasty, the gang leader had used the dog beating stick and the dog beating stick method as his status symbol.

Deputy Sect Leader
The eight Nine Bags Elders were:

The four Guardian Elders were the bodyguards, confidants, and personal assistants who provided the Sect Master and Deputy Sect Master with personal safety. He was equivalent to a popular employee in the gang. Their positions included red sticks, paper fans, and straw sandals.
Those who held the positions of elders above were all martial arts elders who had made many meritorious contributions. They were respected by everyone in Beggar's Sect.
