In order to ensure the smooth escort of the birthday program, Yang Zhi ran all the way and took strict precautions, which caused the accompanying escorts to be miserable. Passing through Huangnigang, a group of jujube merchants came from Lu Yu, and then a wine seller came. The jujube merchant bought a barrel of wine and had an argument when he paid for it. Someone stole another bucket, drank half a ladle, and then someone was caught by the wine merchant.
Seeing that his men were thirsty, Yang Zhi asked them to buy the rest of the wine, but after drinking it, he found that something was wrong with the medicine. It turns out that this group of jujube vendors were posed by Classical and Wu Yong, and the wine vendor was played by Bai Sheng. This trick of cheating the birth procedure was put forward by Wu Yong. The original two barrels of wine are both good.
They drank a glass of wine first to lure Yang Zhi and others. Later, the first jujube vendor stole it, making Yang Zhi unable to move. When the second man stole it, he took the opportunity to put the medicine in the ladle. Because of the unsuccessful stealing, the medicine entered the rest of the wine, so Yang Zhi and others fell to the ground under the medicine and lost their birth.
Appreciation of the story of outwitting the class;
The ancients often called "extremely rich" and "extremely rich and expensive" extremely rich, referring to a big house, a lot of land or a lot of business, a group of slaves, and of course a lot of cash, which is obviously much more than today's one million. So having money is a huge fortune. This golden pearl treasure is the essence of the people plundered by corrupt officials and is ill-gotten wealth. The process of writing novels by Chao Gai and others is full of wit and brilliance.
So on the whole, Classical is a good person. At least he didn't let his minions kill businessmen, only robbed property, not as dark as Zhou Tong and Jong Li. It is not surprising that he became rich overnight and became a "peasant revolutionary hero".
It should be pointed out that the commodity economy in the Song, Yuan and Ming Dynasties developed continuously in the process of writing Water Margin, and it was written many times in the novel that robbing and killing passers-by was not conducive to the development of commodity economy and social progress. This is a backward behavior and a criminal behavior.
But for a long time, it was not regarded as a crime or a mistake, or even as a revolutionary act. Some people may not agree with this behavior, but they avoid commenting out of concern.
