The fortune teller said that I lived by craft.

Why do people who make a living by craft get along well after enlisting?

Wooing is a way for the imperial court to deal with Liangshan heroes. No longer pursue their past responsibilities, but let them turn over a new leaf. Therefore, some craftsmen can rely on their own top technology to eat in the later stage. Without technology, there is no business, so it is relatively miserable. Just like our society now, a little skill will never be eliminated by society. It is also a good choice to know a little craft and do a little business. Therefore, in the late Northern Song Dynasty, people who were recruited by the imperial court would do well to eat by craft.

As we all know, in the Water Margin, many heroes were driven to Liangshan because they broke the law. They have no reason to flee to Liangshan, and they can rely on their brothers to build their own pure land. What they did at that time was right in love, but unreasonable in reason, and will be severely punished by law sooner or later. It is precisely because of this background that wooing Ann may be opposed by a large number of people. But for a few people, it is good to win over.

First of all, let's talk about why the emperor wanted to woo. To Liangshan heroes, they are chivalrous, but to the people, they may be bandits. If every regime wants to consolidate its rule, it must win the support of the people. If it can win the support of the people, it must get rid of these people hiding in the mountains. Therefore, the court will promise to arrange official positions, arrange silver coins, arrange houses and stabilize these people. However, there are only a few people who have the ability to be an official, and the court will not let those who have no ability waste their salary on a position. Therefore, the advantages of these recruited people are highlighted.

This part of capable people is the most convenient for the imperial court. As long as they are given a chance to survive, they will live on their own skills, without high officials and rich salaries and fertile land. As long as they can have their own careers and live a safe life, it is the best destination for these people.
