7. It is easier to build a rebellion against the Jin Kingdom than to build a rebellion against the Southern Song Dynasty.
Since ancient times, many people who rebel have been forced to survive because they are forced to survive, so they rise up in order to survive and make a living.
And when this most direct goal is met, they begin to be confused and don’t know what to do.
Not only the head, but also the people below. They rebel for the sake of their meals, and after they have dinner, they don’t know what else they should do.
So chaos and internal struggle began to be born, which eventually led to the government army suppressing these uprisings without any difficulty.
Su Yonglin learned these failed experiences and knew that it was not enough to fight just by doing wars and conducting economic and intelligence. He also had to understand politics. Otherwise, rebellion would be a simple riot, without important sustainable political goals, and would be doomed to failure.
Rebellion is a means, and the real goal should be a political goal.
Everyone needs to have a clear and lofty political goal, such as founding a country.
Under this big goal, set small goals, and you can get a sense of accomplishment at every stage. After you get a sense of accomplishment, you can continue to strive to the next stage.
Only in this way can a rebel team be brought up and become a battle team with the strength to win the world.
Throughout history, most rebel teams have fallen on the road to transform into a hegemony team.
Su Yonglin cannot suffer this loss. He needs political goals and a large number of politically ideological talents.
The means of rule can be learned later, and political ideas must be established in advance.
For things like goals and ideals, Su Yonglin cannot be the only one. It is best for everyone to have them. The more people there are, the more people they can influence and strive for more people to stand on their own side.
So Su Yonglin compiled the information brought back by Su Yin into textbooks, compiled the core team and salt-making workers into several study classes, took turns to give lectures to them.
He broke the basic situation of the Jin Kingdom in the north and told them to him, and he also called the Southern Song Dynasty the Southern Song Dynasty without any scruples.
Let’s talk about the basic political ecology of the Northern Jin Kingdom, the living conditions of ordinary people, the administrative status of the government, etc.
At the same time, some of the questions they asked will be answered.
For example, when Su Yonglin talked about the living conditions of the Han people in the Jin Kingdom, someone asked that the Han people in the Northern Kingdom had a hard life and were looking forward to the King's Army to save him. Is this true?
At that time, it was a big class where two study classes were mixed together. Su Yonglin faced more than 120 pairs of eyes and laughed out loud.
That scene was very fun.
Su Yonglin almost passed away when she smiled alone on the stage, and more than 120 people below were staring at her stupidly.
After laughing, Su Yonglin wiped his eyes.
"The King's Army? The Han people in the north need the King's Army to rescue them? Everyone, why did I never take you to Huainan to sell private salt? Do you know?"
They shook their heads one after another.
Su Yonglin put away his smile and sighed.
"Huainan people eat golden salt because golden salt is much cheaper than the salt in the Southern Song Dynasty. The people who sell private salt on the Huainan border sold golden salt to Huainan and gave it to the people of Huainan. They can make five or six times the profit by re-sale, which is more than we earn."
People were very surprised.
So earn?
"There is something you may not know."
Su Yonglin said seriously: "Ninety percent of the price of official salt in the Southern Song Dynasty was taxed, and the remaining 10% was the real price. The cost of salt making was not as good as that of the 10% price. Do you understand now?"
They all learned to calculate the characters and learned to calculate the numbers. They had a calculation in their minds, and they all understood as soon as they hit them.
“This is exploitation.”
Su Yonglin wrote two big words for exploitation with a brush on the wall: "One pound of salt, more than one hundred cents of money, less than half a century of cost, half a century of profit, plus more than 80% of taxes, this is a good thing for the Southern Song Dynasty, which is why you couldn't afford salt before joining me, Su family!"
People became serious and looked at Su Yonglin with wide eyes.
There were small flames leaping in their eyes.
"Salt in the Southern Song Dynasty is expensive, why? Because of the great military pressure, it has to raise a lot of soldiers and officials. The place is smaller than before, but the army and officials are not fewer. We can only find ways to make money. Where does the money come from? Of course it is us."
Su Yonglin patted his chest and pointed to the people below: "We, the common people, are their way to make money. We must eat salt. Everyone needs to eat it. If you don't eat it, something will happen. They monopolize the salt, crazily increase the price, and force us to buy it!"
Su Yonglin was very satisfied with the reaction of the thickening and worsening breathing of the people below.
"So why is gold and salt cheap? One is what I said. The Jin people's governance is very extensive, just like the shepherds and sheep. They have no experience and energy to take care of many things. In addition, the military pressure of the Jin Kingdom is not as great as the Southern Song Dynasty.
So you ask me, are the Han people in the Northern Song Dynasty waiting for the King of the Southern Song Dynasty to be rescued? Let me tell you, that's fart. The Han people in the Northern Song Dynasty do not need the King of the Southern Song Dynasty to be rescued. What should I do when I come back? Continue to eat more than 100 pounds of official salt? Or do you live a life like us that you will lose your head when you don't know which day?
For the Han people in the north, it was just a different emperor to act as a mighty person on their heads. There was no difference between the rest. Whether it was Emperor Wanyan or Zhao's family, it was no different for us ordinary people. Who will be the emperor? Isn't it the same?
I tell you, you are now aware of your words, study, and have a wide range of knowledge, but you must remember that you, and me, are all ordinary people, whether it is the Jin Dynasty or the Southern Song Dynasty, for us, it is almost the same.
Who are the people who are much different? Those officials and those who are superiors, when the Southern Song Dynasty was still the Northern Song Dynasty, they were very popular and had a comfortable life. The Northern Song Dynasty was gone, and their lives were not as comfortable as before. The emperor was arrested, and they felt personally painful.
What can I do if I write poems one by one, calling the Northern Expedition every day? Is there really a difference between the Song or Jin Kingdoms? Su Yin often goes to the north and sees the lives of the Han people in the north as usual.
Do they miss Song? They and us, do they really know what Song means? I ask you, what is Song? What is Song mean to us? What is Song’s meaning to us? What is Song’s reason for us is that we must try our best to save it?"
After asking Su Yonglin's question, people were confused and didn't know how to answer Su Yonglin's question.
Some people have a vague outline in their heads, but it is very unclear and don’t know how to express it.
Su Yonglin waited for a while and nodded with satisfaction.
"It seems that no one knows what Song means to us ordinary people."
"I want to give the answer, the answer is nothing. Song is the best person, Song is the imperial examination and the imperial examination and the nobles, we are just the animals of the best person!"
Su Yonglin took a deep breath: "In the eyes of the superiors, we are pigs, cows, horses, and dogs! We are not humans, we are not worthy of being humans, we are just animals, we produce for them and for them to exploit them!"
Su Yonglin punched the table with a punch, and his voice was loud and powerful, word by word, deeply rooted in people's hearts.
The people below were silent.
"Think about when you can't eat enough, think about when you can't afford salt, has the Zhao Guan family come to help you? Have those top-notch people come to help you? No, they will only look at you with disgust and hate you why you can't just work and not eat.
They hate us, and we have to eat, drink water, and sleep. They hope we don’t eat anything, just work hard, grow food for them, dry salt for them, weave cloth for them, and be cattle for them and horses for them!"
Su Yonglin turned around and wrote a Song character on the wall, and then patted the wall.
"Song is their Song, not our Song! What does it have to do with us when they miss their Song?!"
At that time, after Su Yonglin finished speaking, some of the people below opened their eyes widened, looking like they suddenly realized.
He frowned, surprised and suspicious, and looked suspicious of life.
They recognized the words, read books, and opened their eyes to them, and already had the most basic understanding ability.
When words enter their ears, they will no longer go in and out of the left ear like when they were originally illiterate, but will go into their heads. If they go deeper, they will go directly into their hearts.
Obviously, these words not only entered their heads, but also entered their hearts.
The spiritual shackles imposed on them by the rulers are suffering a very severe impact.
Su Yonglin left them time to think, and when they raised their heads and looked at them again, Su Yonglin continued.
"You may still have questions. Since Song is not our Song, then it is natural for us to rebel. Why not rebel in Song, but to rebel in Jin? My answer is that it is easier to rebel in Jin than to rebel in Southern Song."
Everyone was surprised again.
Su Yonglin himself said that Song defeated the Jin Kingdom into the Southern Song Dynasty, and his defeat was particularly miserable. He was no match for the Jin Kingdom at all. How could he say that it was easier to rebel against the Jin Kingdom?
The Southern Song Dynasty's fear of the Jin Kingdom naturally spread to the people.
The people also have fears about the Jin Dynasty. Everyone habitually thinks that the Jin Dynasty is more fierce, but Su Yonglin doesn't think so.
Why is this?
Su Yonglin gave his own answer.
"I'm not saying this without any basis. From a broad perspective, there are only two types of people in the Southern Song Dynasty, our group of cows and horses, and the group of high-ranking people. Therefore, there is only one kind of conflict in the Southern Song Dynasty, and the conflict between us and the superior people.
The Jin Kingdom is different. The superiors of the Jin Kingdom were Jurchens, so there was not only the conflict between the superiors and the cows and horses, but also the conflict between the Jurchens and the Han people, the conflict between the Jurchens and the Khitans, and the conflict between the Jurchens and the Xi people."
Su Yonglin grinned: "You guys, the current Jin Kingdom is just a powder barrel filled with gunpowder. Just one Mars can blow the Jin Kingdom up into pieces, and we are that Mars!"
