The World of Yellow Sky

Xu An sat cross-legged in front of Yan Zhong's copybook, and said solemnly.

"Since ancient times, the ruling class has been ignorant and weak people. Those who dare to rebel and rebel will be slaughtered to deter the world."

"Guangzong, Xiaquyang, and Huangfusong built the Beijing Temple to deter other potential rebels."

"The military adviser should be very clear that our Yellow Turban Army, Taiping Dao, and most of the powerful families are on the opposite side. Our foundation is not in the powerful or powerful families, but in the vast number of ordinary people. Am I right?"

Yan Zhong nodded, Xu An's words were indeed correct.

Seeing Yan Zhong's approval, Xu An continued, "A ruler is a boat; a commoner is water. Water can carry a boat, and it can also capsize it."

"I asked the military division, who is now controlling the public opinion in this world, who is controlling the mouthpiece of this big man?"

Yan Zhong pondered for a moment, put down the silk fan, and said: "Emperor Guangwu relied on the powerful family to obtain the world. Although the world is controlled by the big man in name, in fact the powerful family has a wide influence. The public opinion of the world depends on the powerful family."

"What the military adviser said is exactly that the mouthpiece of public opinion in the world is controlled by the powerful family."

Xu An stretched out his hands, opened his fingers and said to Yan Zhong.

"If the population of the world is replaced by ten fingers of my hand, then the proportion of powerful families is only one finger, but the people of the world have nine fingers. Why is one finger better than nine fingers?"

"It's all because of reading and literacy. It's just the bachelors you have mastered. The powerful family monopolizes knowledge, and there are countless books in the mansion. However, ordinary people have no chance to learn half of the knowledge in those books."?

"Many books only have solitary copies. The military commander is very knowledgeable, so there must be some books that he wants to read, but they are hidden in his house, so they must not be peeped at?"

Xu An stood up and retracted his ten fingers.

"The art of war and the book of war lie in the general's family, and the classics and meanings lie in the great Confucian's family. The peasants and pawns in the countryside are illiterate. distort right and wrong."

Yan Zhong looked at Xu An steadfastly, he didn't expect that Xu An was not from a famous family, but he could see this matter so clearly.

"I'll post a notice announcing the decree in the countryside, the market, and the rice fields. If the people are literate, how can they be easily distorted by powerful families or some people with good intentions?"

It is actually useless to rely on the force of the Yellow Turban Army to break through.

Even if all the aristocratic families are killed, there will still be new aristocratic families.

What is useful is to make more people literate, able to understand edicts and regulations, and not be deceived by them.

It will not let the original good governance turn into bad governance.

Only when the people are no longer illiterate, only when the people are no longer ignorant, and only when new ideas are injected into them, can the Yellow Turban Army have hope.

"The world is dark. For thousands of years, the common people have been submissive and have suffered a lot, but they are used to it. They occasionally resist, but they are violently killed."

"The [-] children will receive new education and enlightenment education, and they will become the light that illuminates this dark world."

Xu An looked solemn and said solemnly.

"Moreover, it's not just these children. The next step is to complete the army, and I will also promote enlightenment education in the army."

"I want them to know what they are fighting for and who they are fighting for!"

Chapter 300 The sky is dead, and the Han Dynasty will end!

Bingzhou and Taiyuan County.

A lifang in the northern part of Jinyang City does seem to be a bit out of place with other lifangs.

Four slightly quaint academies are quietly located in the Lifang. This is the Mengxue that has just opened in Jinyang City.

The Lifang here has undergone major renovations, and the original residents have all moved out.

In this Lifang, there are only four newly built Mengxuetangs left, which are distributed around the Lifang in the shape of a field, called "Xuefang".

There are only two main roads in the school, like the cross in the middle of the field, separating the four Meng schools.

In the middle, the junction of the roads was transformed into a rather large circular square.

In the center of the square, a rather tall lecture stand was built.

An umbrella with a sunshade stands on the lecture platform.

There is no decoration on the umbrella cover, and it is not gorgeous at all.

The color is not a rich purple color, but the same color as the soil on the ground, and the same color as the banner of the Yellow Turban Army.

There had been news from the government offices in Jinyang City long ago.

Today is the opening day of Meng Xuetang.

Taipingdao will hold the opening ceremony here. At that time, Xu An, a great virtuous teacher, will visit the workshop in person and preside over the ceremony on the square of the workshop.

Inside and outside the workshop, there were almost full of people who came to watch the ceremony. Most of them were believers of the Taiping Dao, or they were grateful for the blessings of the Taiping Dao. After hearing the rumors, they wanted to see with their own eyes the great virtuous teacher Xu An, who was said to be a fairy.

The outside of the square of the academy was full of ordinary people who came to watch the ceremony, as well as many soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army and Tiqi of the Eagle Wolf Guard.

They not only maintain law and order, but also come to watch the ceremony.

Go inside again, to the vicinity of the teaching desk.

More than 500 teenagers in various costumes sat cross-legged on the ground.

Dozens of yellow angels wearing heavy armor and holding wild goose feather sabers stood on the lecture platform.

Xu Anduan sat on the lecture table, looking at the slightly confused faces of the teenagers below.

Xu An turned his eyes to the distance again. The followers of the Taiping Dao and the soldiers with yellow scarves on their heads were mostly fanaticism and trust in their eyes.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The small drum placed under the lecture stage was played by several Taoist boys with yellow scarves on their heads.

The sound of the drums slowly spread to all directions, and the noisy workshop also slowly fell silent at this moment.

The hustle and bustle of people began to dissipate, and all eyes were focused on the lecture platform in the center of the square, on Xu An.

Yan Zhong put the silk fan in his waist, and knelt down near the lecture platform. His gaze now also rested on Xu An who was not far away from the lecture platform.

At this moment, Xu An was wearing a feather suit, a Taoist crown on his head, and holding a plain whisk, sitting upright on the lecture platform.

Yan Zhong has been in Xu An's shogunate for several years, but he has never seen Xu An's attire like this.

Xu An wears military uniform all the year round, and the ordinary uniform he usually wears is also the same as that of the Eagle Wolf Guard.

It was the first time he saw him dressed like this.

His eyes are like bright stars, his mind is clear and his mind is calm, his bones are like immortals, and his robes are fluttering, which is not like ordinary people.

Yan Zhong looked at Xu An, who was at the top, and felt that he and the clothes on his body were completely natural.

It seemed that Xu An was born wearing Taoist clothes.

The drumming gradually stopped, and the workshop finally returned to silence.

"Dashun heaven and earth, without losing money, achieve peace, auspiciousness and prosperity."

"There are three names for vitality, the sun, the sun, and neutrality. There are three names for physical bodies, heaven, earth, and people. There are three names for heaven, the sun, the moon, and stars, and the North Pole is the center. There are three names for the earth, mountains, rivers, and plains. People There are three names, father, mother, and son. There are three names in governance, monarch, subject, and people."

"If you want peace, these three should always be your confidants, without losing your share, so that they can be united into one family, and peace will be achieved, and there is no doubt that the years will be prolonged."

Xu An spoke slowly.

He chose a rather mysterious verse in the "Taiping Jing" as the opening.

This scripture does not need to be understood by everyone listening in the workshop, but to create a mysterious feeling, making what he said next more convincing.

Many people in this era believe in these mysterious and mysterious things, as well as preaching.

Both the lecture table and the workshop have been specially designed, and several trumpet-shaped objects that can amplify the sound were placed on the lecture table.

Although the expanded sound is limited, with the help of a group of skilled craftsmen.

If the workshop was kept quiet, Xu An's words could barely be heard by everyone in the workshop.

Xu An's way of speaking is not the same as usual, but a special way of speaking.

It is a different way of vocalization recorded in the "Taiping Jing", which can make the voice thicker and more breathless.

"The husband and the country are boats, and the common people are water. Water can carry a boat, and it can also overturn it."

"For the world, the people of our generation are like the sea formed by many water droplets, and the country is like a boat on the sea. The water of the river can carry the boat, and it can also destroy the boat."

Yan Zhong frowned slightly. He was familiar with the scriptures, so he naturally knew that what Xu An said came from the content of "Xunzi·Kingzhi".

The original text is "the king is a boat, the common people are water, water carries the boat, and water capsizes the boat."

Xu An has revised Xunzi's words, the biggest point of which is to replace the king with the country.

"The emperor of the Han Dynasty is high above, and does not eat the fireworks in this world. We wait for the common people to prostrate on the ground, and even if we die ten thousand people, the emperor of the Han Dynasty will not know about it."

Xu An's sonorous and forceful voice echoed in the workshop, and rang in the ears of everyone in the workshop.

"The current emperor is fatuous and incompetent, with treacherous ministers in power, partial to the aristocratic family, and listening to the evil slander in the court."

"Foreigners went south to burn, kill, and loot. Tens of thousands of people in Xihe County were reduced to poodle dogs. The powerful families and bully rangers acted recklessly and wantonly bullied us ordinary people."

In the workshop, many people had sad looks on their faces. How could they not know about the tragedy in Xihe County.

Xu An put down his whisk and stood up, and said bitterly: "It's not right to sue the officials, you don't go into the letter, the officials protect each other, and instead of punishing bullies and powerful people, they punish us small people."

"The powerful family, the delicious food in the noble family can't finish it, they would rather let it rot and stink than give it to me. Grab the food in your hands, and grab the money that is left."

"Calculation tax, oral tax, land tax, and various corvees are all borne by the common people like me. The powerful family enjoys the fruits of it, but they still don't give up!"

Following Xu An's words, the eyes of more and more people in the academy gradually showed anger.

"The tyrannical family made accusations, colluded with the government, wanted to embezzle our land, embezzle our houses, make us slaves and handmaids, and put me in a position of invincibility, so they are willing to give up."

"We are originally from the same family, and we are both Chinese Miao descendants, but they treat me like pigs and dogs! They treat me like ants!"

When the cool wind blew, Xu An stood facing the wind.

"When the sun is in the sky, I will be exposed to the scorching sun until my skin is ripped apart, and my sweat will fall into the field like rain. In the cold winter season, the north wind will be harsh. , Year after year, I dare not neglect in the slightest, the government confiscated most of it, and the tyrants took some, I have worked hard all my life, but I can’t even eat enough.”

Xu An's deep voice slowly spread away, those believers in the Taiping Dao in the academy, those soldiers all recalled their past life.

Face the loess, back to the sky.

I have worked hard for half my life, but maybe I can have a full meal only during the holidays.

In a year of disaster, a year of famine, or when the weather is not good, countless farmers go bankrupt in an instant.

They can only sell their land and houses, and even be reduced to selling their sons and daughters, and selling themselves into slavery.

Bullies and tyrants are rampant in the countryside, and officials and nobles are superior.

Humble as dust, suffering from bullying, but unable to resist at all.

"why?"

Xu An looked around at the listeners in the workshop, and asked loudly.

"Why do those powerful families never work, but have no worries about food and clothing? Why do we wait for the common people to work all day, but suffer from hunger and cold? Have you ever thought about why?!"

why?

Everyone felt that Xu An's questioning voice sounded in their minds.

For thousands of years, many people have become accustomed to submissiveness, and officials come to collect taxes.

even.

Get used to being bullied, get used to being hungry.

It seems that it has been like this since ancient times, and it seems that the life of ordinary people and ordinary people should be like this.

"The Han court has many generals, and there are hundreds of thousands of armored men. The powerful families have lived in the countryside for a long time, and their power is deeply rooted. There are countless thugs."

Many people in the workshop lowered their heads.

They dare not resist, they are afraid of the swords in the hands of government soldiers, the shackles in the hands of government servants, the fists and wooden sticks of powerful domestic slaves.

"Because the sword is in the hands of the ruler, in the hands of the powerful family, in the hands of the noble king."

"And what you have in your hands are only farm tools and sticks."

"I know that when our Yellow Turban Army entered Bingzhou, when our Yellow Turban Army entered Jinyang, the lives of many of you were barely able to survive."

Xu An clenched his fists and said loudly.

"But are you willing?"

"Are you really willing? Frightened, being slaves and handmaids, living a life that is not as good as pigs and dogs?!"

"Let your children, your descendants, live this kind of life all the time?!"
