Li You's Tang Dynasty

Chapter 588
A place about 1000 miles away from Chang’an is called Zaozhuang. It’s a very poor place. How poor is it? I don’t know if you have heard of pian wives. We all know that in ancient feudal society, many women’s family status They are all relatively low-level, so they have to rely on a man. Many women often stay at home with their husbands and children and cannot go out.

And the ancients believed that a woman's lack of talent is virtue, so women never went to school since they were young. What they can learn is some female reds, embroidering and doing needlework at home. I also suffered a lot of unfair treatment, and there were some bad habits against women at that time.

That is wedding ceremony. When it comes to wedding ceremony, many people may not understand what it is. Then you have watched TV, and you have heard of pawn shops. Many poor families will pawn some things in exchange for some Living expenses, and pawn marriage is a kind of pawn, which is also a way of marriage, and it has also become a business in pawn shops. This business is not about exchanging things for things, but exchanging women. Does it sound exaggerated, or a bit unbelievable?These are all real!

This kind of ceremony marriage existed as early as the Han Dynasty, but it was still vigorously developed in the Song Dynasty. I desperately wanted to have a boy, so the girls in many families were not valued, and the ratio of men to women gradually became out of balance, and many men later had no money to marry wives!

And many poor families will not be able to marry a daughter-in-law!Because I can't afford a high betrothal gift!
It is in such a feudal society that girls' social status and family status become lower and lower, and everything in the family has to be obeyed by men, but the ratio of men to women is seriously out of balance, and many families cannot marry a wife. How to do it?

In the family, the incense must be continued, and the family must be passed on from generation to generation. This is how ceremony marriages appear. Many ceremony marriages have a time limit, just like you signed for a two-year period, and then you will live together for two years. Start to give birth, and then when the two-year period is up, the woman can regain her freedom and continue to marry, and the woman becomes a reproductive tool!

That sounds or is particularly unbelievable! , Marriage ceremony is also determined by the time, and the cost is less when the time is short. This is a method used by many poor people to choose to carry on the family line. Later, the country banned this kind of behavior, and it was also a kind of salvation for women. At that time Women are really in too much pain, and this method lasted until the period of the Republic of China before it completely disappeared. This method sounds really embarrassing, but it really exists.

Speaking of this Zaozhuang in front of me, almost every family is a wife from Dianlai. Why is it so poor? Zaozhuang is a place where you don’t need anything. People say that you rely on the mountains to eat the mountains and the sea to eat the sea, but in Zaozhuang, there is nothing. Damn, even the land is dry, and the people here live in a muddle every day, without a future.

The thatched huts are piled up in layers, like small graves, and everyone has no expression on their faces. They seem to have become numb and have lost their motivation.

Some people will definitely ask, such a ghostly place, why not move, move to another place, find a mountain to live, it is better than this place where the birds don’t shit, how should I put it, this is modern thinking, this kind of The thinking is correct, after all, the mountains do not turn, the water turns, the tree moves the dead and the living.

But the ancient thinking is different from our modern ones. The ancients believed that the poor should not move, and the rich should not move their graves. In ancient times, the people were relatively poor, but there were many things needed at home. These things are in the long-term life, step by step. accumulated.If you want to move, you need to load all these things into the car and take them away.

In ancient times, those who could have an ox cart and a horse-drawn cart were considered wealthy families, and poor families did not have these things at all.If you don't take it away, you will need to spend a lot of money to buy these things when you arrive at your new home.If you take it away directly, it will cost a lot of money to hire a horse-drawn carriage. For a relatively poor family, it will cost a lot of money, so there is a saying that you should not move if you are poor.

This is a very solid idea, you can't change it at all. Just today, the poorest Zaozhuang welcomed three people, one with a broken arm, one eye blind, and two women, These three people are Huo Zun, Tian Wuzhi, and Huo Xiuxiu who left from Chang'an. Since these three people suffered a loss in the hands of He Qingfeng, Huo Zun even put on an arm. Although they were let go, Huo Xiuxiu Zun's hatred for Li You and the others deepened.

At this time, Li Tai found these people, and Li Tai directly formed an alliance with this group of people. As long as they can help Li Tai destroy Li You, Li Tai promised to give Huo Zun a position as a general, but Huo Zun didn't He hesitated to take it.

However, unlike Huo Zun, Xia Wuliang did not leave with Huo Zun. Firstly, Xia Wuliang lost his leg, and following him was also a drag, and secondly, Xia Wuliang wanted to take Mo Sheng back to his hometown for burial.

That young Mo Sheng died, an arrow pierced through his throat.

So now Huo Zun only has Tian Wuzhi and Huo Xiuxiu, because Huo Zun has left his sect, so Huo Zun's confidants have also returned to the sect, Huo Zun had a big fight with his adoptive father, Huo Zun wanted his adoptive father to avenge Mo Sheng, but the leader of the Manichaeism was afraid of Li You's power.

The two broke up, and Huo Zun left the Manichaeism, officially becoming a loner. Fortunately, Tian Wuzhi and Huo Xiuxiu still followed him, because he cut off his arm for them.

"Brother, what should we do next?"

Walking into Zaozhuang, seeing the dilapidated appearance of Zaozhuang, Huo Xiuxiu asked Huo Zun who was walking in front.

"Preaching...?" Tian Wuzhi on the side was a little surprised: "We have already left the Manichaeism, what else are we preaching?"

At this time, Huo Zun smiled: "The Golden Crow Sect is our own sect, I am the protector of the Golden Crow Sect, and you two are the saintesses of the Golden Crow Sect!"

"Ah, who is the leader?" Huo Xiuxiu asked.

"Qi Wang Li You!" Huo Zun showed a smirk: "Remember, the leader of our Golden Crow Sect is Qi Wang Li You, he sent us to preach in the world, and everything we have is given by Qi Wang.

The king of Qi wants to lead us to build a peaceful, fair, and equal world, and our doctrine is no killing, no stealing, no adultery, no drinking. We are the guardians of the king of Qi. "

"Eh!" After Huo Zun finished speaking, Tian Wuzhi was a little speechless: "We are going to be the guardian of King Qi. Brother Huo, I don't understand why we are not allied with King Wei, but now we are going to be King Qi and the King Qi killed Mo Sheng, we have a deep blood feud with him."

With a slight smile, Huo Zun said with a faint smile: "I know that King Qi and I have a direct blood feud, but you don't have to doubt, as long as we become your guardians of King Qi, and the number of these guardians is increasing, the scope Wider and wider.

At that time, someone will deal with Li You. What we have to do is to turn this group of guardians into a mob. When Li You is dealt with, it is enough to be Li You's drag. "

At this moment, Tian Wuzhi and Huo Xiuxiu knew that they were going to kill someone with a knife.

If one day the Golden Crow Sect develops and becomes famous, then at this time, it will be Li You's death. Huo Zun is very vicious, and he created this Golden Crow Sect to gather incense followers.

Do not kill, do not steal, do not commit adultery, and do not drink alcohol is a low-profile version of Buddhism.Believers don't need to go to temples, they are half-monk and half-secular, and everyone gathers from time to time to chat and so on.

No common people would resist such an organization.

You must know that the people at the bottom always want someone to rely on, and everyone who is a big family relies on clan relatives.The local tyrants and evil gentry moved around with each other and colluded with officials and businessmen.What about the poor people?Find an organization.

The purpose of finding an organization is very simple, everyone can help each other when there are difficulties.But ordinary people are generally illiterate, and your whole process is too complicated for others to play, so the low-profile version of Buddhism is the most suitable.If you listen casually, you will understand what you are talking about.After you finish speaking briefly, everyone will go back to farming and work without delaying things.

Then this organization will send some things every now and then, and do some good deeds, and soon the reputation of this organization will spread. Maybe ordinary people don't have much to care about such an organization.

After all, this organization is very Buddhist, but would the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty think so?
When Li Shimin got old, he was suspicious. If he knew that Li You created a Golden Crow Sect for himself among the people, and that this Golden Crow Sect had tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of followers, would he feel at ease?
It was because Huo Zun had identified this point that he started to teach Li You a Golden Crow. In fact, it was for the purpose of flattering and killing Li You.

As long as the Golden Crow Sect gets better and stronger, then the Golden Crow Sect will most likely become a knife on Li You's neck. As long as the knife falls, Li You will die.

This is also Huo Zun's insidiousness, he will not fight against you Li You from the front, because Huo Zun knows that he can't beat you from the front, so he starts to fight from the side.

Walking into the most difficult Zaozhuang, Huo Zun saw the miserable state of Zaozhuang, smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth, and quickly greeted Huo Xiuxiu and Tian Wuzhi beside him, and then heard the three of them shouting together: "Golden Crow God Sect, King Qi protects the law, fair and just, Sanping the world Golden Crow God Sect, King Qi protects the law, fair and just, Sanping the world!"

The voice came out one after another, and this voice attracted the attention of the people in Zaozhuang. Looking at the faces of these hungry and thin people, Huo Zun smiled slightly: "Shi Mi!"
