"Ancestor, what about Chu Yupu?"
Zifeng remembered the name Ye Tian had mentioned and asked curiously.
Ye Tian smiled." Chu Yupu was Zhang Zongchang's subordinate. He studied for a few years and went to the military academy when the revolution broke out. Unfortunately, his education level was too low and he failed twice. His whole family even became beggars. The Chu family had finally reclaimed a few acres of barren land by Weishan Lake. It was the harvest season, and the local tyrants came to take away all the crops and land.”
"So miserable!"
Hearing Ye Tian's words, Sister Zifeng sighed.
To be honest.
Chu Yupu's life experience was indeed a little miserable.
"Yes, I am."
Ye Tian nodded, continuing," Although he had a rough start, this person isn't easy to deal with. After he was forced to go to Liangshan, he colluded with the local gentry and even got money to buy guns and guns. Soon, his subordinates grew to 3,000 people. Later on, he got close to Chen Qimei's distant relatives and successfully joined the Revolutionary Party, becoming the cavalry commander under Zhang Zongchang.”

Sister Zifeng, Peng Peng, and the others were instantly stunned.
Even the viewers in the live broadcast room were dumbfounded.
In the first half, he was still an oppressed poor person. In the end, after becoming a bandit, he actually turned into a warlord who oppressed others. Wasn't this identity transformation too fast?
"You guys."
Ye Tian looked at everyone's surprised expressions and calmly said,""There is a point of view in this world that if a good person is forced by reality to become a bad person, then he deserves sympathy, right?”
Hearing his question, Huang Little Chef and the others looked at each other, Peng Peng finally turning to Ye Tian.""Isn't that so?"
"Of course not."
Ye Tian shook his head." I'm a poor man. I want to survive, so I have to kill and rob. Do you think that's reasonable?"”
"Um…"
Peng Peng was silent.
Even the viewers in the stream understood what Ye Tian meant.
No matter what, the biggest difference between humans and beasts was that humans had their own principles.
I am poor, I am reasonable, I am weak, I can do whatever I want, this is not right!
………………
At the mushroom house.
Ye Tian did not say anything else after answering Peng Peng's question.
Actually, everyone had their own answer to this question. Perhaps some people felt that since they were bullied, since they were bullied, why couldn't they resist?
But in Ye Tian's eyes, it was fine to resist, but to become the kind of person who bullied him in the past was too much.
"Old Master, why did Chu Yupu look for you?”
Teacher He asked Ye Tian when he saw the heavy atmosphere.
Ye Tian smiled and explained," Chu Yupu may be ignorant and illiterate, but he has great respect for the gentry and scholars. So after he took over Tianjin, the first thing he did was to visit all the famous cultural figures in the city and make them his aides.”
"Ah?"
Everyone was stunned again.
This Marshal Chu Yupu was really an artsy person!
This point.
He looked a little similar to his old boss, Zhang Zongchang.
Seeing the confusion on everyone's faces, Ye Tian smiled and explained,""During the time of the Republic of China, Tianjin was definitely a gathering of famous people. The Northern Warlords had been fighting all year round, causing countless deaths and injuries to the common people. And those warlords who had lost battles would often go to the countryside and hide in the concessions in Tianjin. They still lived a good life. From the emperors and princes of the former Qing Dynasty, to the various leaders of the Republic of China, to the warlords of all sizes, celebrities, and opera masters, there was everything in the small concession of Tianjin.”
Hearing his explanation, everyone finally understood.
After a long time.
There was actually such a saying.
But everyone was curious. Had Ye Tian been famous back then?
"Old Master, were you very famous back then?”
Sister Zifeng asked in surprise.
Ye Tian smiled." Silly girl, I'm not just famous, I'm rich!" Do you think Chu Yupu has good intentions when he asked me to be his advisor? He's after my money!”
Everyone looked at each other, not expecting him to say that.
"Old Master, if you don't mind, can you tell us your remuneration at that time?" said Chef Huang to Ye Tian.”
Ye Tian smiled." Didn't I tell you? It used to be one silver dollar per thousand words, but it went up a bit."”
He paused.
He said," During the Republic of China, the authors of popular novels were the most profitable. Zhang Henshui, the author of 'Golden Dust Aristocratic Family,' had a meal with the owner of the World Bookstore and received tens of thousands of yuan in royalties within ten minutes. He directly bought a palace in Yanjing.”
Hiss!
Everyone gasped at Ye Tian's words.
The viewers in the live broadcast room were even more shocked.
This was too f * cking awesome!
Seeing everyone's expressions, Ye Tian calmly continued,""On the other hand, the group of people who create new literature, other than Hu Shi, Shu Ren, and a few others, generally live a relatively poor life. Gong Baiyu, one of the five masters of martial arts novels in the north, was originally involved in serious literature. He was also a disciple of Shu Ren. Once, he wrote more than 10,000 words for Women's World before he received four yuan in royalties. He was so angry that he changed his career to writing martial arts novels.”
????
????
These few words broke through Little Chef Huang's defense.
"10,000 words for four yuan?"
Little Chef Huang looked at Ye Tian in surprise and asked,""It's not even as much as your initial remuneration?”
"Yes, I am."
Ye Tian nodded." Of course. A popular novelist only earns money, but his reputation isn't that great. You're just like Gong Baiyu, who didn't dare to contact the tree man after he changed his profession to write martial arts novels. Later, he recalled in his article that he was an unlucky writer. As a follower of Lu Xun, he became a famous martial arts novelist. I succeeded, but I lost face.”
Hearing this, everyone fell silent.
