Having food to eat and having enough food is the luckiest thing for people in this era.
Now Yang Fan detonated one thunder after another, which immediately made this group of people go crazy.
Everyone shouted assurances and looked at Yang Fan like crazy believers. After all, no one wants to lose such a good life.
"Free education, free medical care, support for the elderly and support for the young" are things they could not even dream of before.
What is the most rare thing for ordinary people in this era?
It’s not about delicacies from mountains and seas, leaning against tall buildings and pavilions, but the opportunity to practice scriptures and learn Chinese characters.
In an era when more than 99% of people are illiterate, someone who can write their own name is considered an educated person.
Now Yang Fan actually said that he would hire a specialized teacher to teach their children, and it would be free of charge. How could this not make them excited?
Even though they knew that Yang Fan would not lie, some people still couldn't help but confirm it.
Some people were even so happy that they couldn't help themselves, holding their children and sobbing.
Who doesn’t want their next generation to be successful?
At this time, people who knew a few words could work as clerks in the yamen or something like that. Those who were knowledgeable could even have the opportunity to obtain a meritorious service and obtain an official position. This was a matter of honoring one's ancestors.
No matter how bad you are, if you learn a little magic, you can still be a shopkeeper or accountant.
In the eyes of ordinary people, these positions are also easy and satisfying jobs.
If the next generation can have the opportunity to have enough food and clothing, no longer have to face the loess with their backs to the sky, and no longer have to look at God's face to eat, this is simply the goal that the people of Huaxia have been working hard for for generations.
But it is such a seemingly simple ideal that they cannot achieve in their entire life, or even in several generations.
What is the reason for this?
On the one hand, the cost of studying is too high; on the other hand, resources are in the hands of powerful families.
Even if some people have some spare money, it is difficult for them to let their children go to school because they will be affected in one way or another.
After all, these aristocratic families don’t want these poor people to compete with them for their jobs. If all the people are educated, who will farm the land for them?
Looking at these people, one by one, tears filled their eyes, shouting Yang Fan's name, as if they wanted to vent their passion and loyalty with hoarse shouts.
But it’s more like expressing expectations and longing for the future.
Seeing the high-spirited and majestic figure on the stage, Wang Xuance, Xue Rengui and others' eyes burst out with unprecedented light. They would also participate in the creation of this paradise, and secretly sighed that they had followed the right master.
However, there are many people here, and of course there will be individual thorns. These people secretly hide in the crowd and look down upon them with disdain.
A young man with a sinister look curled his lips: "This is impossible. There is no such good thing in the world. Don't believe it."
But as soon as he said the words, he was caught by a group of angry people nearby. He was beaten and kicked and handed over to the guards nearby. This situation was not unique.
And other villains who wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble also extinguished any trace of luck in their hearts at this time, and even became hesitant and uneasy.
Are Yang Fan's words a lie?
Of course, most people here don't have any doubts in their hearts. The reason why they asked the question just now is that they can't believe their ears.
After arriving here, Yang Fan's promises to everyone have been fulfilled one by one. What else do they have to doubt?
At this time, they were given such a hope and a promise. If they didn't support Yang Fan, who would they support?
Naturally, many cheaters were caught.
After waiting for a long time, the agitation gradually calmed down. Yang Fan nodded with satisfaction, and with great pride in his heart, he said proudly: "Please rest assured, if I say anything today, if there is a lie, I will be struck by thunder from the sky."
In ancient times when people believed in God and Buddhism, such an oath could be said to be extremely heavy.
"Brother Zhongyi, please don't do this. This will harm us!"
Standing in front of the crowd, an old man with gray hair was in tears. With the support of his son next to him, he stood up tremblingly, turned to the crowd and said excitedly: "Loyalty and righteousness are unparalleled, how could you ever deceive us?"
When? If anyone dares to doubt or complain, they are our enemies..."
Of course Yang Fan knew this old man. Not only had he served as an official, he was also very prestigious in Baishui Village. He was already over seventy years old at this time, and he had always been highly virtuous and respected.
But it’s no wonder that in this era, due to living conditions and medical standards, the average life expectancy is only about 40, and anyone who can live to 60 is considered a long life.
It can be said that it is very rare for ordinary people to live to be 70. Such old people are regarded as auspicious even by the imperial court, and officials will be sent to pay condolences during festivals and other events.
When everyone heard this, they naturally echoed and agreed.
Following Yang Fan's order, these people gradually dispersed, and only Wang Xuance came over with a sad face to complain to Yang Fan.
"Sir, where is the helper you promised to find for me?"
"You can go directly to Yang Mansion to ask for someone."
Seeing Wang Xuance leaving in high spirits, Yang Fan couldn't help but think about the scene for a while. After all, the assistants assigned to Wang Xuance were all pretty girls.
no way!
There were not many literate people in this era, so Wu Meiniang had to ask some of the poor people to be redeemed from the Jiaofang Division.
But Yang Fan quickly retracted his thoughts because he had more important things to do.
Looking at the thousands of energetic guards on the training ground, Yang Fan's face was full of pride. This was his foundation.
"gather!"
Following Xue Rengui's order, these people quickly organized the team in order of height. It seemed that they had been training frequently.
Looking over the group of people, Yang Fan said: "Brothers, the fact that you can be selected as a guard and enjoy the best treatment in Junyangfang shows that your skills and luck are better than others."
"Thank you, Uncle, for your love!" the group of half-grown men shouted at the top of their lungs.
Yang Fan nodded slightly, and continued: "But you must know that while enjoying it, you must also take responsibility. From now on, in addition to training, you will be divided into groups to patrol Junyangfang 24 hours a day to maintain the stability here. The specific details will be carried out by Deputy Xue
Lieutenant will make arrangements."
"In addition, today, XX will select 100 guards from 1,000 of you, and XX will personally lead them for special training. Those who pass the training will not only have their salary doubled from the original basis, but will also make great achievements together with XX."
As soon as he finished speaking, the pot exploded in an instant. Nothing real could be more inspiring. For a moment, everyone was ready to move and was full of joy.
Soon, the equipment was moved over. These were all kinds of training equipment that Yang Fan had installed temporarily, and they were also selected items.
Yang Fan said seriously: "Since we are all elites, let's show it to someone. Push-ups are a way to exercise arm strength, sit-ups are a way to exercise waist and abdominal strength, and standing in military posture is a way to test endurance and perseverance...
…”
After finishing speaking, Yang Fan demonstrated and explained the essentials of each action.
The guard below found it very strange. What kind of posture was this? Why had he never seen it before? However, he was very excited to hear that it could increase strength in all aspects.
"Do you understand how to do it?" After the demonstration, Yang Fan suddenly asked.
"Understood...understood..." the guard below replied.
From the perspective of these guards, these are very simple actions.
Listening to the sparse response, Yang Fan shook his head slightly. It seemed that the discipline of these people needed to be strengthened, so he snorted coldly:
"It seems you don't quite understand yet. Start doing push-ups now. No one is allowed to stop without someone's order."
These were all methods the instructors used to punish people that they learned during military training. Yang Fan picked them up and taught the guards a lesson.
After being stunned for a moment, all the guards began to do push-ups.
At first, the guard seemed to be relatively simple, but he gradually felt the pressure. Before, he could still talk and laugh with the brothers next to him.
But as time went on, my arms became sore, drips of sweat flowed down my face, and the land in front of me was soaked with sweat.
Yang Fan nodded secretly. It had been almost half an hour, and the physical fitness of these guards was much stronger than before.
"Now you understand what push-ups are, right?"
"I understand." Although his voice was not as loud as before, it was much more tidy.
At this time, many people understood why they were punished with push-ups.
After briefly talking about the rules of the assessment, Xue Rengui will tell them in detail.
He pieced together these things by watching special forces training in some TV series. It is easy to rectify these ancient people.
