The senior man took the remaining three people, Wen Rensheng and another man and woman, and they soon entered the capital again.
Then he found a powerful local gentleman and asked about sumo wrestling.
Not long after, after demonstrating his immense power, the wealthy gentleman was ecstatic.
Under the arrangement and leadership of the wealthy gentleman, they came to a sumo wrestling ring to compete.
In the sumo ring, everyone from high-ranking officials to street vendors were watching enthusiastically.
It's just that everyone's sitting position is different.
One by one, they roared happily and placed their bets, encouraging the sumo wrestlers they were optimistic about.
When Wen Rensheng saw this, he also shook his head.
It’s such a drunken dream.
Who could have known that in just a decade or so, the prosperity here would fall under the iron heel of barbarism.
Prosperity and strength cannot be commensurate with each other until after the industrial revolution.
At this moment.
No matter how good the prosperity is, it cannot be transformed into real battlefield strength.
The mighty Song Dynasty entered the prosperous commodity circulation for the first time, but was brutally interrupted.
When Wen Rensheng sighed, the senior players came off the stage to engage in sumo wrestling.
He just saw the clue after watching one scene.
Sumo wrestling is nothing more than throwing another person to the ground.
Sumo wrestling was very developed during the Song Dynasty.
"Tokyo Menghualu" and "Menglianglu" record that the sumo wrestlers used by the imperial court were sergeants on the left and right sides of the imperial guard, named "Uchidōko".
There are also professional sumo wrestlers in the market, and they all have names.
The winners are rewarded with: flag tents, silver cups, colored satin, brocade jackets, Huizi (banknotes), horses, etc.;
It has become very professional and highly ornamental and practical.
There are also famous female sumo wrestlers. "Menglianglu" records their names: Sai Guansuo, Xiao Sanniang, Black Fourth Sister, etc.
As long as you rely on strength to suppress your opponent, prevent him from getting up, and persist for a period of time, you can win.
It's such a simple process.
Simple, direct, violent, raw strength and wrestling skills confrontation, the outcome is as clear as a child.
Coupled with the background of the times, thieves were everywhere in the wild, and people had a primitive pursuit of force, so it was naturally easy for them to prosper.
The veteran quickly started his first game.
"The sumo wrestlers competing below are masters from the Western Regions invited by Mr. Liu!"
"He is a descendant of the Western Han Dynasty's Western Expedition, and his name is Fang Gaoyi."
"I returned to my hometown today and am about to show off my talents!"
Following the host's words, Fang Gaoyi, a veteran, officially left.
He has gone through three missions, and in each mission, he killed and injured countless indigenous people.
It can be said that a murderous aura naturally condensed in him.
But he had been restrained before.
After all, many newcomers to reincarnation have not yet adapted to their psychological qualities.
It scares people to the point of collapse when they come up, which does him no good at all.
But now, at the end of the competition, he no longer restrained himself.
Opposite him was a muscular man.
He is physically strong and possesses very flexible skills.
As soon as I got up, I started to learn the movements of tigers and monkeys and jump around.
Shouting from the mouth.
Fang Gaoyi's eyes turned cold, murderous intent burst out, he took a step forward, grabbed the opponent's body directly, and blocked it with his left leg.
Simply and directly throw it to the ground!
When his murderous aura burst out, his opponent was restrained.
One moment, he was in a trance, and the next moment, he was dizzy and fell to the ground, being pinned down by someone!
"one two three……"
As the host called out the number, the opponent was unable to stand up.
“Very good!”
"Well done, one more!"
"What a pity, I pressed the wrong one!"
"This new sumo wrestler is still awesome!"
The citizens shouted.
And at this moment, another round begins.
"In the next game, Fang Gaoyi will play against Fei Yanzi continuously. The ante will be increased! At least 20 copper coins!"
Because the dealer only draws water, in order to ensure the enthusiasm of punters, it is necessary to arrange similar opponents.
If the disparity in strength is too great, it would be meaningless if everyone tried to suppress one side to win.
In the end, there will be a consistent bet, and you will only win one penny, which is not enough for the banker to draw money.
After going back and forth a few times, no one placed a bet.
"The betting methods are: Fei Yanzi can stick to five numbers, stick to ten numbers... Fang Gao loses one hand, loses two hands..."
These are all different ways to place bets.
Soon, senior player Fang Gaoyi won easily again.
Among the people, there are many knowledgeable people.
"This guy is very powerful!"
"I'm afraid only the best sumo wrestlers can compete with him!"
"Press him!"
As Fang Gaoyi won many battles, everyone soon chose to bet on Fang Gaoyi.
The result is that the winner makes little money.
Soon no one was placing bets anymore.
The dealer is not afraid of someone winning money, but is afraid of being deserted and no one is playing.
So someone found Fang Gaoyi.
"You must lose the next game."
"Black, so damn dark!" Fang Gaoyi said, "Okay, I agree."
"Very good, these are ten taels of silver. You should keep them first, and I will give you another 20 taels later." The man was very happy.
That's right, when it comes to betting, it's absolutely impossible to be clean.
Snow-white silver was won by others, which is a sin.
So Fang Gaoyi used a flaw and was knocked down once by the opponent, and then he quickly got up again.
"Hahaha, I made the right move, I can earn 10 coins!"
"Damn it, why didn't you have the energy at the beginning?"
"Nonsense, he has won 10 games in a row. No matter how strong he is, his physical strength will be insufficient."
Seeing this, everyone began to place bets on his opponent.
When Wen Rensheng saw this, he couldn't help but feel funny.
Sure enough, the ancients had already mastered the tricks played by later generations, as long as they were not based on science and technology, but on these crooked ways.
Many scams of later generations took shape long ago in ancient times.
Because people's hearts have never changed.
Compared to changes in technology, human nature has been fixed almost since 2000 years ago.
In Wen Rensheng's opinion, this senior man's physique was at least 40 or above.
This is equivalent to 8 times the physique of an ordinary person.
Much stronger than ordinary people.
It's just that because of the body's protective mechanism, the system is 8 times stronger, but it cannot exert 8 times the power.
But Fang Gaoyi obviously still had reservations.
This is natural.
If it is too prominent, people will think it is a god or a monster.
Then you have to play.
In this way, when Fang Gaoyi can win, he only uses slightly more strength than the opponent every time and wins neatly.
In the eyes of others, he is physically strong and very skilled.
Once you gain strength, your skills will no longer hold up.
The so-called "four taels can move a thousand catties", the premise is that you also have the strength of a thousand catties.
Only in this way can the opponent be moved.
The purpose of "four ounces and a thousand pounds" is to easily hit multiple people, fight a protracted battle, and prevent yourself from being injured. It is a superb technique developed on the basis of evenly matched opponents.
You only have 4 taels of strength. Even if you are exhausted, you cannot move a thousand pounds. This is against the laws of physics.
As long as the opponent is caught by him, he will easily push him down.
After being pushed down, the opponent will be defeated.
Then a powerful man took a fancy to Fang Gaoyi.
After all, the powerful people naturally know the truth inside.
Unless they are dandies who are new to this industry, they have no money and no power.
Powerful people don't worry about being cheated by the bankers.
The bookmaker will also release some news.
So they knew that Fang Gaoyi was completely capable of winning every battle.
And this person is prone to bowing his head.
Naturally, he was favored by them.
And Fang Gaoyi became a sumo wrestler recruited by a powerful family and was asked to perform sumo wrestling at the house.
This powerful man was the prime minister at that time.
This is quite normal.
Not to mention the prime minister, even the emperor has watched sumo wrestling.
As a result, he was reprimanded by his ministers and the emperor was ashamed.
It must be said that during the Song Dynasty, the emperor's authority was severely suppressed.
It is impossible to arbitrarily determine the universe like the Manchus did.
Fang Gaoyi soon made a lot of money.
He used money to collude with some good guys and gangsters.
And he bribed some servants from the prime minister's house.
Then he only asked the boys to do one thing.
That is to write to him regularly.
The shipping address will be informed to the other party at that time.
"Well, it would be great if there were people with extraordinary mental power who could directly travel thousands of miles to send messages." Fang Gao turned around and said to Wen Rensheng and the other three.
"You only have physique and spirit. Even if your spirit is strengthened to an extremely high level, you can't use special abilities?" Wen Rensheng asked.
"No, the spirit has been strengthened to an extremely high level. It only has a big advantage when fighting against Cthulhu, ghosts and other types of worlds." Fang Gao shook his head and said.
"But we don't have the skills to deal with the opponent. If we want to deal with the enemy, we can only rely on the methods already available in the indigenous people and the world."
Hearing this, the other men and women immediately frowned.
"This is too frustrating."
"Yes, can't the Lord God strengthen the ability to destroy ghosts?"
"No, we can only strengthen your physique and spirit, which will make you run faster and have stronger resistance." Fang Gaoyi emphasized again.
"Okay, let's prepare for the main mission. I got news that the southeast is already unstable." Wen Rensheng shook his head.
"Well, I've also heard that the emperor confiscated the Hua Shi Gang, and the officials took advantage of the opportunity to rob them. The citizens rose up to resist, and many people lost their families." The novice man also said excitedly.
"Yes, Fang La should feel that the opportunity has come now, and he must be ready to revolt." Fang Gao nodded.
But at this moment, the novice girl shook her head and said, "Fang La is just a fool."
"Oh, did he think that such civil unrest would destroy the Song Dynasty?"
"In fact, the real turmoil is when farmers at the bottom have big problems, because farmers are the largest, and only a large number of farmers can truly stir up the world."
"The south of the Yangtze River has always had plenty of rain. It is a land of plenty. Even if it is severely squeezed, people can survive on lakes and swamps."
"Farmers' livelihood problem is not that big yet."
Wen Rensheng also nodded and glanced at the novice female high school student.
It’s good that the other party can see the essence of it.
Wen Rensheng continued: "Yes, Hua Shi Gang has not harmed the poor peasants at the bottom on a large scale."
"Because those who have flowers and stones at home are at least from well-off families."
"The poorest peasants can barely afford even a few pieces of clothing. Where can I find any strange stones?"
"Their house only has a shabby thatched hut, so it doesn't matter that it's a broken house."
"The poorest farmers always account for more than 70%. When they are in chaos, there will be real chaos."
"If they don't mess up, nothing will really be messy."
"Once they are in chaos, everything will really be in chaos. Just like in the late Ming Dynasty, the poor peasants were completely bankrupt and had to rebel to survive."
"Then the rich peasants, landlords, and big landowners went bankrupt."
Everyone nodded.
Wen Rensheng then told everyone some profound things.
He said that this Huashi Gang was far less harmful than raising taxes on farmers.
After all, many people have certain hopes for this Song Dynasty.
The Song Dynasty also had a way to deal with these rebellious refugees, which was to incorporate them all into the Xiang army.
Then he gave Xiang Jun a bite of food.
A large part of the redundant troops in the Song Dynasty came from this way, so that they would not cause chaos.
As for where the money comes from?
The Song Dynasty had little land, so they vigorously developed sea trade and commodity economy. They used these commodity economies to allow the upper class to consume heavily, so that the people at the bottom could share in the wealth of the upper class.
It can be said that although the Song Dynasty suffered repeated defeats in foreign wars, it lost a lot of land.
But he has begun to find a feasible way to solve the internal contradiction between farmers and land.
The Song Dynasty never prohibited land annexation, and land transfers were complicated.
Maritime trade is not prohibited, trade is developed, and food import is convenient.
For farmers, the skin and bones of the fields have long been separated.
Rights of use and ownership.
Sometimes for a field, I don’t know how many hands have been exchanged for the skin of the field, and I don’t know how many hands have been exchanged for the bones of the field.
It's a pity that Mongolia, the foreign enemy, is really powerful.
The whole world couldn't resist it, and neither could he who was right next to him.
Originally, it was possible for the Song Dynasty to be the first to solve the problem of peasant uprisings.
However, he did not die from the peasant uprising, but died from the invasion of foreign enemies.
At this time, the novice man suddenly asked: "Why didn't the later people learn from the experience of the Song Dynasty?"
"Especially the Ming Dynasty. The gap between the Ming Dynasty and the Song Dynasty was only more than a hundred years."
Wen Rensheng shook his head and said, "I didn't study later. That's normal."
"Because later the emperor's imperial power increased greatly."
"The imperial power naturally hates the commodity economy and the uncontrolled flow of people."
"The Song Dynasty was able to vigorously develop the commodity economy precisely because the imperial power was greatly restricted."
"Just look at it and you will know that because the emperor of the Song Dynasty was not in the right position and had to control military generals, he had weak military strength, relied too much on civilian officials, and had insufficient control."
"Since the imperial power is not that powerful, his suppression of the flow of goods and people will not be very powerful."
"Because the movement of people and goods also belongs to the interests of civil servants."
"Those civil servants all have business in their families."
"They also want the flow of people and goods. After all, the big landowners don't have many officials. The land in the world is limited, but the officials are unlimited."
After hearing this, everyone suddenly realized.
Fang Gao cast a look of admiration at Wen Rensheng.
This newcomer's level is still very high.
In addition, his physique is also very powerful.
It seems that he must be a powerful person in reality.
"In this way, I have to say that although the Song Dynasty was timid, it still had merits."
After everyone discussed it, the four people took the boat all the way.
It took them more than a month to reach the southeastern land where Fang La was located.
Then they began to deploy new methods.
Naturally, they did not immediately seek refuge with Fang La.
The rush of buying and selling is not called buying and selling.
They still followed the example of the capital city and decided to create a famous local celebrity.
This reputation is the reputation of divination.
Because the ancients were very superstitious.
Moreover, Fang La relied on private organizations to mobilize people to rebel.
