Chapter 182

"Brother, I've bought you the book you want."

A sturdy young guy ran to Lu Qi's home panting and carefully placed the four books he bought from Wenhua Bookstore on the table in front of Lu Qi.

"Thank you for your hard work, brother." Lu Yan said while sitting down with his cousin Lu Jian, who was panting and smiling.

"I'm not tired, I'm not tired, I just run a little fast, just take a break." Lu Jian replied with a smile.

His cousin Lu Jian sat aside, and Lu Xu couldn't wait to open the book, wanting to see the contents inside.

Lu Xuan is twenty-two years old this year. He is one of the literati scholars in Guangzhou City and already has the status of a scholar.

The Confucian scholar circles in Guangzhou City are mainly divided into two categories: one is a circle where Confucian scholars from aristocratic families gather, and the other is a circle where Confucian scholars from poor families gather.

A poor family refers to a humble family. In the past, he specifically refers to aristocratic families with low power, and also called common people. Now he refers to the poor class. However, this poor class is not the real poor people. Students from poor families have such high costs for studying and literacy, but they are not affordable to the lower class.

Lu Yu is a poor student. The Lu family has some wealth, but in order to provide Lu Yu with study and literacy, all wealth is consumed. In order to provide Lu Yu with study and literacy, Lu's father and mother, who have been working hard for half of their lives, fell ill one by one. Now Lu Yu is only left in the Lu family. With the help of relatives, Lu Yu finally has the status of a scholar, and his life gradually improves.

As a poor student, Lu Qi also lived a hard life for a long time, or most poor students had hard life, and their different backgrounds made it difficult for them to get along with Confucian scholars from aristocratic families.

After the People's Army captured Guangzhou City, the series of actions of the People's Army caused many ideas from poor students such as Lu Xuan.

At the beginning, Lu Yu also regarded the People's Army as a thief and hoped that the court would send a large army to wipe out the People's Army as soon as possible.

But afterwards, Lu Yu saw that the People's Army was very good to the people at the bottom, and that they would distribute land to the people. If the people had no food to eat, they would provide food. If someone bullies the people, the People's Army would make the decision for the people.

Although Lu Yu still believed that the People's Army was a thief, he had an unconscious impression of the People's Army. The reason for this favorability was very simple, just because Lu Yu was a poor student who lived a hard life and knew the difficulties of the people at the bottom.

Confucian scholars from aristocratic families will not care about the people at the bottom. They live a life of luxury and linger in brothels and do not need to worry about their lives. If they become officials, they pay more attention to the development of their families and do not care about oppression and exploitation of the people at the bottom.

Many Confucian scholars from poor families participated in the imperial examination with the idea of ​​letting the lower-class people live a good life. As for how many people really change the lives of the people after becoming officials, no one can explain clearly.

Anyway, Lu Qi had the idea of ​​letting the lower-class people live a good life in his mind, so the actions of the People's Army slowly made Lu Qi feel good.

It has been a few months since Guangzhou City was occupied by the People's Army, and Lu Yu's view of the People's Army has been constantly changing, from the thieves who must be wiped out, to the interesting rebels, and then to those who sincerely serve the people.

Lu Yu didn't know if the People's Army would continue to be so good to the people in the future, but the People's Army has been recognized by Lu Yu. Moreover, due to the repeated defeats of the Ming army, Lu Yu couldn't help but have the idea that the People's Army would overthrow the Ming Dynasty to rule the world.

Sometimes Lu Yu would also compare the People's Army with the Ming court. The Ming Dynasty had been established for hundreds of years. Perhaps the Ming Taizu, who was a peasant, attached more importance to the lower-class people, but as time went by, the emperors paid less and less attention to the lower-class people, and the senior officials paid less and less attention to the lower-class people.

If you think about it carefully, Lu Yu knew that many poor students like him became officials. Even if they were in charge of a county, how many people could really make decisions for the lower-level people.

The people in Guangdong were too different from those under the rule of the Ming court and the current People's Army. Lu Yu could feel that his relatives rarely smiled before, but as the People's Army distributed the fields to them, the smiles on their faces became more and more, and it seemed that a good day had come.

If the People's Army was wiped out by the Ming army, the fields distributed to them by the People's Army would be confiscated, and good days would be gone and smiles would be gone.

The more he thought about it, the more he recognized and favored the People's Army, and even Lu Xun had the idea of ​​joining the People's Army to contribute his own strength to the People's Army overthrow the Ming Dynasty.

The emergence of this idea surprised Lu Xuan. How could he have the idea of ​​betraying the Ming Dynasty for so long?

However, the more he thought about it, the more Lu Yu's disgust towards the Ming Dynasty increased, and the more he had the idea of ​​joining the People's Army.

On one hand, there are the lower-class people who are not covered in clothes and cannot even eat enough to eat, and on the other hand, there are the aristocratic families who live a luxurious life. The difference is too big, but the aristocratic families continue to oppress and exploit the lower-class people.

Finally, Lu Yu understood his true intentions, and because the People's Army continued to defeat the Ming army, Lu Yu made the decision to join the People's Army.

However, the People's Army did not accept the participation of outsiders before. Even if they joined, they would start with minor officials. Lu Yu thought he had some ability and would continue to be promoted even if he started with minor officials. However, the People's Army's announcement made Lu Yu stop. If he participated in the People's Army's imperial examination, it would seem better to become the head of a county.

The four books in Wenhua Bookstore are very cheap, and Lu Xu can afford them. There are too many people paying attention to Wenhua Bookstore now. Lu Xu doesn’t want to go there in person, and he still has some thoughts in his heart that he doesn’t want to be rejected by other Confucian scholars.

When he read the books, Lu Xun felt a little moved. He had already come into contact with these four books when he was a gathering of Confucian scholars. Needless to say, Lu Xun had some ideas just for this book "Common Sense of Traditional Chinese and Simplified Words".

Compared with traditional Chinese characters, simplified Chinese characters are definitely easier to learn. The People's Army has taken out simplified Chinese characters, which seems to have the idea of ​​letting more people read and read.

Lu Yan has exceeded many people who can think of this. He didn't know that in the nearby areas of Haifeng County, Yong'an County, the People's Army has been teaching simplified Chinese characters for many years. In the future, the People's Army will continue to expand the geographical scope of free education and even open literacy classes to let adults learn common characters.

Lu Xun wanted to participate in the People's Army's imperial examination and learn simplified Chinese characters. However, before that, Lu Xun planned to read the book "Common Knowledge" (Traditional Chinese Version). The content in this book really opened Lu Xun's eyes, and even if there are some contents, no one can tell whether it is true or false.
