On the one hand, many people were forcibly recruited, and they went to the deep mountains and poor valleys in Jiangsu and Zhejiang to search for strange peaks and strange rocks and various flowers and trees, so as to pile up rockeries and decorate the scenery in the imperial garden. Zhao Ji was good at this, but he didn't know that these things were stupid and heavy, with a wide variety of colors, especially those rockeries, which focused on tens of thousands of catties. This is also an era of inconvenient transportation, and it is necessary to use rickshaws and boats to transport them from the Yangtze River and Zhejiang to Beijing, which are two or three thousand miles away from Bianjing, and what a troublesome and difficult thing it is! The number of people who were requisitioned each time was often more than 10,000 people, and the number of miserable people who were bribed, sold, and forced to flee was increased tenfold, not counting. The people are miserable, the emperor is faint and treacherous, and there are many talented people in the world, who are sad and angry, but also know that the troubled times are coming. Besides, those officials who escorted Hua Shigang were corrupt and ferocious, and they did all kinds of evil. Regardless of the hot weather, rain, snow, wind and frost, they have to grit their teeth and endure it, struggle to move forward, and if there is a slight disagreement, they will be beaten by the officials, all the way down, the mourning is all over the field, and from time to time there are also angry shouts and laughter and scolding of the officials.

Those escorted officials were almost inhumane, bullying the weak and the strong, just relying on the situation to swagger, and there were local officials everywhere who greeted and enjoyed themselves. This large number of people can only live in the wilderness, exposed to the sun and dew at night, and invaded by the cold, heat, wind and frost. Those who were slightly weaker died of torture on the way, and no one buried their bodies after their deaths. As for the families of these murdered people, the fields are wasted, and the hunger and cold are unbearable, looking forward to the tragic situation of their husbands and children day and night, and looking at the wilderness to cry out for sorrow, how can they not teach people to be sad and indignant, shouting that heaven is unfair, and benevolence and righteousness do not exist!

In a big country, with the blood and labor of hundreds of people, just to provide the emperor and a few noble powers, it is natural that the people's grievances are getting deeper and deeper. The court was mediocre, the traitors wantonly collected money, and the so-called officials forced the people to rebel, and finally the people in all counties were helpless and unbearable, and they revolted one after another, just to survive. And the most hateful, the court officials and soldiers who used the people's taxes to support them, saw the foreign barbarians of Jin and Liao, but they were afraid of cowardice, but they saw these ordinary people who were just for survival and had to resist, but they thought it was a good opportunity to make meritorious contributions and collect people's property.

The 'anti-thieves' who started in various places did not know the battle formation at the beginning, and there were no heroes and heroes to lead the incidents, and the strength was weak, the foundation was not stable, and they were often defeated at the beginning. The most pitiful thing is that countless good people have been killed in various places because of this.

It's just that justice does not exist, and it is difficult to make a living, and as the people's grievances become deeper, rebels and thieves who rebel in various places have swarmed, one after another, so that the local governments have panicked. As the situation became more and more chaotic, the number and shili of anti-thieves in various places became larger and larger, and local governments reported one after another. What is sad and sad is that Zhao Ji did not know that the country was already terminally ill, and the six thieves such as Cai Jing and Tong Guan were almost in charge of the government affairs of the DPRK and China, and they did not dare to report Zhao Ji for fear that their sins would be exposed. Zhao Ji was blinded by the six thieves, still leisurely, willful and happy, thinking that the world was under his governance, and the country and the people were safe!

However, it is said that Deng Yun, Yue Fei and other young heroes have been studying art under Zhou Tong for nearly two years. Zhou Tong is a hero in the world, and he has the opportunity to contain the universe, but looking at the civil and military affairs of the imperial court, none of them can compare with it. Such a person, since the extraordinary generation, the so-called famous teacher out of high apprentices, Deng Yun, Yue Fei and other brothers and sisters have all learned something, martial arts have advanced by leaps and bounds, the art of war, tactics, etiquette, and the way of governing the country and the country, all obtained. Under the leadership of Zhou Tong, the brothers of the same sect often used the sand table to create various battlefields, and then used various strange stones as soldiers to train each other. Among them, Deng Yun and Yue Fei are the most spiritual, the two of them can often reform and establish a new one, and understand and change from various battle formations and art of war. Deng Yue and the two are so talented that Zhou Tong is overjoyed, and from time to time he will personally go into battle to practice with Deng and Yue.

During the period of study, Deng and Yue, one of them relied on what they had learned in their previous lives, established a foundation early, and used them flexibly, and the other relied on their natural understanding and hard work, and with the passage of time, they have far surpassed other brothers in the same school. Zhou Tong saw that the two of them were geniuses, and they would definitely be able to break into the world in the future, and they wanted to teach what they had learned in their lives. Although Deng and Yue are like brothers, they also compare each other and use this as motivation to compete hard.

One day, Zhou Tong led Deng, Yue and other disciples to the uninhabited place on the slope of Qiligou outside the village, and hung a bamboo pole within a hundred steps apart, on which were hung three bamboo circles with wind leaves, and taught a group of disciples to look at the rising sun every day, and look at the bamboo circle to see how many times it rotated with the wind, and each circle should be counted to three hundred. The size of the bamboo ring varies, so when it is blown by the wind, it will be fast and slow. In addition to the strong wind, all three revolutions must be recorded at the same time. If it's a little vague, you'll have to recount. When the sun hits your face and you can't open your eyes, close your eyes and recuperate. In this way, the day's homework is over. This kind of work continues every day, and every four or five days, the bamboo pole must be moved two or three steps away until it is about 300 steps.

After Zhou Dong finished teaching, most people were surprised, only Deng and Yue knew that the master must have a deep meaning, so they immediately stood in place, counted silently in their hearts, and began to do their homework. When Zhou Tong saw it, he smiled and laughed with the other disciples.

"It's not surprising that this lesson is started, but it can't be continued unless you have perseverance and perseverance! After practicing for 100 days, no matter how the wind blows, you will be able to memorize the number of the three bamboo circles at a distance of 300 steps, so that you can have a foundation. ”

When these disciples heard this, their eyes immediately lit up, and they rushed to start their work. After thirty days, Yue Fei made the fastest progress, and he was able to count three bamboo circles in three hundred steps. Ten days later, Deng Yun could count within 300 steps. The two continued to practice hard until 100 days later, when they were almost at their limit. Yue Fei could count in about five hundred steps, and Deng Yun could count in four hundred and fifty steps. As for Xu Qing and Wang Gui, they can all complete their homework in about 200 steps, and Zhang Xian, Tang Huai, Ji Qing, Huo Rui and others can also complete their homework in about 200 steps. Zhou Dong's homework is really wonderful, and later everyone tried archery, all of them improved by leaps and bounds, and they were ecstatic, and the more they admired Zhou Dong, they regarded him as a god.

After that, Zhou Tong taught the light exercises, and ordered the disciples to put on rattan shoes, pass through the pine forest and soil slope from behind the willow forest outside the school hall, and then go around to the back of the earth mountain. However, he said that the road that Zhou Dong was referring to was not visited on weekdays, and there were two ponds and a stream in between. At the same time, it is the rainy season, and every time it rains, there are more mud puddles, and the light work is almost impossible to pass. Zhou Tong taught the method of raising qi, the essentials of the body method, and the mantra, and then ordered a group of disciples to take a trip on the road pointed out after each rain. And every time Zhou Dong watched how everyone walked on the mountain pavilion, and when the road was dry, he went to check the footprints, and he knew the depth of everyone's kung fu.

Zhou Tong carefully taught, everyone learned to work hard, hard, and later, a special batch of good horses, teaching riding, as well as how to fight on horses.

In the past, unconsciously, Deng, Yue and others studied for two years. However, it was said that during this period, the Deng family expanded the Zhuangyuan. The Yue family and his wife are diligent on weekdays, and they have gained a lot in recent years, and they have accumulated a lot of money when they meet an honest and benevolent employer like Deng Chong. The Yue family and his wife were reluctant to admit it anymore, and although the Deng family of three tried every possible persuasion to stay, they still moved out of the Deng family's village, but they built a house nearby. Soon after, Li Chunhua, a friend of Yue He's general horn, came to the village. It turned out that Li Chunhua and Yue He were originally from the same village, and they had been petty officials in Jiangnan for a few years, and after returning to their hometown, they heard that their hometown had been flooded a few years ago, and they were afraid that the Yue family would have an accident, so they searched everywhere, only to find out that the Yue family had a foot in the iodine village, so they hurried over. After seeing each other for many years, Yue He was overjoyed. But Li Chunhua also met Zhou Tong, and after meeting Yue Fei, he saw that this child was smart, filial and well-behaved, and at a young age, he already had skills that could not be underestimated. Li Chunhua loved Yue Fei very much, collected books all his life, gave them all to Yue Fei, and taught him carefully. Yue Fei is talented and enlightened, and he is deeply loved by Li Chunhua. Li Chunhua was not only happy in every way, but also hated that he could not have the knowledge of heaven and earth in his belly, and taught them one by one. Yue Fei was grateful, and also regarded Li Chunhua as a master and a father.

On this day, in the Liulin martial arts training ground, all the disciples under Zhou Dong's seat had almost arrived, and they formed a circle, looking at the two people facing each other in the arena with nervous expressions. A person is wearing a cyan martial arts uniform, his hair is tied up with a hemp belt, he is very capable, his eyes are steady, there is a light smile on his face, and his fingers are a long stick, this person is Deng Yun. The other person has sharp eyes, big sword eyebrows, red lips and white teeth, and a face like a crown of jade, a beautiful young man. This person's name is Yang Zaixing, a member of the Yang family behind the mountain, his father and Zhou Dong are close friends, and he came to visit at his father's order a few days ago. The Zhou and Yang families are world friends, Yang Zaixing and Zhou Yi are childhood brothers, and they soon became acquainted, and Zhou Dong's disciples also respected him.

At this time, Yang Zaixing listened to Zhou Dong's order and practiced with Deng Yun to test the foundation of the two, and at the same time, he could also let the disciples observe and understand. After all, the Yang family's marksmanship is the same as Zhou Dong's, and Yang Zaixing has long been perfected, and even Zhou Yi is not his opponent.

After the two finished fighting, they looked at each other, and there was no rush to attack. Yang Zaixing frowned, he had already heard Zhou Yi tell him that his father's apprentices, Deng and Yue, were the most outstanding in martial arts, and they were all geniuses. Yang Zaixing was already a young hero, although this time it was a comparison, but he didn't want to lose the battle and lose face.
