People who are in high positions and have a lot of troubles in a day often have the problem of being separated from the masses.

Zhang Kexiang stays in Tianjin all day long, and he deals with other veterans and wealthy people. He doesn't care at all, nor does he want to know what the people think.

Wu Haogu is more than him. Wu Haogu also doesn't care much about the people, otherwise he wouldn't have created a republic with elite citizens to rule the country... Youzhou has a population of millions! There are no one million households to be transferred to a household registration, and there are only a few hundred thousand households.

In other words, 90% of the households, at least 80% of the population (citizen households generally have a large population, and are all large households), are not politically representative. There is no political representative, and of course there is no economic benefit.

The foundation of the Youzhou Army is the land military service system, that is, the division of land and joining the army! It is quite a lot of people, one mansion soldier is given 200 acres and one knight is given 1,500 acres. And how much arable land is there in Youzhou, including the Lushun Mansion?

There were 60,000 citizens, and many other great meritorious officials had to pay more, and they were basically lost. Therefore, the vast number of working people in Youzhou were responsible for the relatives and nobles of the Liao people and wealthy families in Yan before Wuhao came. After Wuhao came, they were responsible for the knights and soldiers of the Youzhou army, and their economic status was the same as their political status, without any improvement.

But people always want to move higher, especially the traditional Chinese Confucian culture is more inspiring to struggle, so all poor families are eager to have noble children. The working people in Youzhou are no exception.

So how should the working people turn their backs on?

There are roughly three ways to go in Youzhou.

The first is of course a revolution, overthrowing the joint rule of the bourgeois knights and the military class, then dividing the land equally, and living a happy life for everyone.

However, the knights in Youzhou are very good at fighting, and the working people will definitely not be able to defeat them, so the road is not accessible!

The second ascent is to study hard, be admitted to Yuntai Academy, Knights Academy, Naval Academy, and be admitted to the citizenship!

Only by becoming a citizen can one become an official and it is easier to climb up.

However, the Umtai Academy and the Knights Academy are not easy to take the exam, they are both ways of elite education. If you have never attended a new primary school, you can basically not get into the exam. The new primary school is only free for the knights and the children of the military households in the government... Where can the working people earn tuition?

The third upward path is to go to Tianjin to find opportunities to make money. This is quite reliable. There are indeed many opportunities to make money in Tianjin. Do business, learn skills, work hard, and go to sea to be a sailor, and of course, you can also be a mercenary.

However, Tianjin City cannot provide everyone with opportunities for growth. People who can develop are also very few here. Most of them have just become proletariats who sell their labor... As for the opportunity for the proletariat revolution, it seems that they have to wait more than 800 years later!

Therefore, in Youzhou, where the bourgeoisie, knights and the military class jointly ruled, it is still very difficult for the working people to rise.

At least in the eyes of Wu Haogu, the game rulemaker, this is what it is!

But beyond his expectations, the young men among the working people in Youzhou have always stubbornly believed that they still have a golden road that can easily climb up.

Just follow the king to conquer the world!

That's right, the working people do not live in Tianjin. Even in Youzhou, which is at the forefront of the development of capitalism, the urbanization rate is also very low. Therefore, most of the working people are still tenant farmers and hired farmers. The master they saw was not Wu Haogu and Zhang Kexiang, but Zhang Erdan and Zhang Nanpi, who changed from poor and lower-middle peasants to "big landlords" with 200 acres of land.

Since Zhang Erdan was able to become a citizen master by joining the army and fighting, why can't the hired farmers who took the job for the landlords fight for a master by fighting?

So beyond the expectations of the elders in Tianjin (including Wu Haogu), when the news of the "million-million Liao soldiers" going to attack Youzhou spread, the countryside of Youzhou was filled with cheers!

"I've got rich, I've got rich..."

Monk Zhu, the chief worker of Zhang Nanpi's family, came home with two kilograms of pork head meat and a pot of turbid wine today. As soon as he walked into his own small ragged yard, he started shouting loudly.

In the yard, the two brothers of Monk Zhu, Monk Er and Monk Zhu San were basking in the sun. Both of these "monks" were tenants, and they rented a thirty acres of land from a knight's family to farm, barely making a living. Because there is no household tax (capital tax) in Youzhou, in addition to paying rent, they just need to serve labor or pay some exemption to the local government. In general, the burden is not very heavy. Therefore, tenants and farmers can still live a good life.

But it is difficult to get rich!

"What?" Zhu Er Monk looked at the pork head meat and wine pot in his brother's hand, swallowed, "Have you received the reward from Mr. Zhang?"

"I'm so sorry! That's good if you can't just rely on my salary."

"Then why did you buy wine and meat?" asked Monk Zhu San, "It costs dozens of dollars, right?"

"Haha," Zhu waved his hand, "Go into the house to drink and eat meat, brother is happy today!"

"What kind of happy event is there? Tell me and the second monk to listen."

"Yes, is it because my sister-in-law has some eyebrows?"

Monk Zhu smiled and said, "A woman's business is a big deal? A real man should get rich first and then marry a wife!"

He just wanted to marry his wife first, but he didn't want to marry him.

The three monks of the Zhu family are all bachelors, and they don’t have any family property, so how can a woman be willing to marry? It’s not easy for a bachelor in Yandi to solve life problems!

This is also because Wu Haogu defeated the Liao people and placed a large number of knights and the soldiers from the palace went to Yan. The knights wanted to marry their little wives, and most of the soldiers were bachelors from Hebei. After they had land and real estate, of course they also wanted to marry their wives.

In addition, many real monks were sent home by Wu Haogu. These were from the former Yandi Haoqiang family, and now they have joined the team of marrying wives and taking concubines.

So for a period of time, there was a shortage of women of appropriate age in Yandi...

So the three monks of the Zhu family could only worry about women.

"Yes, it's going to fight!" Monk Zhu's face was full of excitement, and he was almost trembling with excitement. "I heard of Zhang Nanpi's family... A million Khitans come to the south and fight Lushun Mansion!"

"What?"

"real?"

The two "monks" who were squatting and basking in the sun jumped up and stared at their brother with their eyes.

Fight a war!

Millions of Khitans...it sounds a bit scary!

"Really!" said Zhu Monk, "We brothers have a good meal tonight, and we will join the army to fight the Khitan tomorrow!"

"But the Khitan has millions..." Monk Zhu San was timid.

"I'm afraid of a ball!" Zhu Er monk said, "The Yan King's Army is invincible! It's better to have a lot of land in Liaodong when Khitan comes out. In one battle, how much land can be divided into Liaodong!"

"Yes, the Yan King's Army is invincible!" Monk Zhu pointed his head.

These farmers from Yan land were all for the knights and the military strategists to carry the life. Of course, the information they heard was how awesome the Yan King Army was.

And if you think about it, you will know that the Yan King Army is awesome. If you are not awesome, can you beat the Khitans away?

Monk Zhu Er looked at his younger brother, "Three monks, if you are afraid, just stay away from home and farm. I and the monk will join the army. If I die, I will be defeated. If I survive, I will be a soldier. I will also get 200 acres and will have a settlement for the rest of my life."

Monk Zhu smiled and said, "Yes, if Zhang Nanpi can do it, we will definitely be able to make a name for ourselves!"

This is the wealth effect!

This is the magic of military meritorious titles!

In the eyes of the common people in Yan, most of them are knights and soldiers. For the three "monks" of the Zhu family, do you want land? Do you want women? Do you want children? Do you want something that is popular or drink spicy?

If so, go and join the army!

Usually there is no chance to join the army. Now Yelu Yanxi's mixed ball with millions of Liao soldiers came to die. The King of Yan will definitely have a lot of troops and just join the army to fight. Whoever doesn't go is a coward, and he deserves to suffer poverty for the rest of his life.

Therefore, as the good news of millions of barbarians coming from the south spread throughout Yan land (because of knights and soldiers, the news was spread very quickly), Yan land was suddenly in full bloom.

Yelu Yanxi's "million-of-Liao soldiers" seem to be a stepping stone to climb up in the miserable poor men in Yandi!

King Yan, please recruit soldiers quickly!

Everyone can't wait...

...

Not only the poor and lower-middle peasants in Yan land, but also Zhang Kegong, the transferee of Hebei, the Song Dynasty. Because the Zhang family still has power in Tianjin, the matter of spending money to hire the heroes in Yan land fell on him.

After writing letters to Zhang Kexiang and several other veterans who were "loyal to the court" and explained it, Zhang Kegong personally went to Nanpi Cangzhou and Qingzhou Prefecture City, where he set up two yamen for recruitment. After that, he was still worried, so he disguised himself and came to Tianjin, the base camp of Wu Haogu.

Zhang Kegong was very familiar with Tianjin. He had come many times, but most of them came in contempt. Not only did he not alarm Wu Haogu, but he also avoided Zhang Kegong several times. Moreover, when he was a military inspector in Hebei, he helped Tao Jiefu set up an "intelligence base" in Tianjin. He also sent Du Wenzhong, a traitor who defected to the Zhang family generals in his early years.

It was Du Wenyu's brother. Because he was too unreasonable to make money during his public office in Jiehe Shang City, Lin Chong arrested Du Wenzhong who escaped. After he escaped from Jiehe Shang City, he somehow fell into the hands of Zhang Kegong (who thought Zhang Kegong was an official in Cangzhou), and later became a tool for the Zhang family to collect evidence of Wu Haogu. However, before Zhang Da Censor defeated Wu Haogu, Wu Haogu rebelled. Therefore, the evidence of the crime was no longer useful, but Du Wenzhong was still useful. He was sent to Tianjin as a lieutenant, because it was Zhang Shuye and Zhang Kegong, so it was difficult to dig it out. Moreover, Du Wenzhong was old and suffered setbacks, and became cautious. He opened a small study near Gonghefang (the doorstep of Wu Haogu's house), selling books and big characters he got from Kaifeng Prefecture. He had always been in a proper manner, so no one went to investigate him.
