The answer is: there is only one farmer.
This man named Tao, "from a peasant family, used to using shovels", ranks 75th among Liangshan heroes.
Because he is the only real farmer, and his ranking is too low, it is impossible to develop Liangshan's route centered on him.
So, what classes are closer and similar to farmers?
Fisherman and Orion. It shouldn't be wrong to put fishermen and hunters and farmers in the same class. As a result, there are six people:
Fishermen: Ruan Xiaoer, Ruan Xiaowu and Ruan Xiaoqi.
Orion: Jie Zhen and Gerber, two brothers.
Farmer: Tao Wangzong.
These six people add up to less than a fraction, and their weight in Liangshan is still too light. Therefore, we must never take them as the center to develop Liangshan's route.
Let's look at the slogans and programs of peasant uprisings in history, which are nothing more than "dividing fields", "sharing wealth" and "exempting miscellaneous taxes". Are all real things that are closely related to your life.
Liangshan's slogan is far from it. They want to "do things for the sky" and have nothing to do with their own lives. And vague expression. Does the "heaven" in this paradise mean "heaven"? Or "the son of heaven"? Or "the world"? I don't know.
From this comparison, it is not difficult to find that the Liangshan Uprising Army led by Song Jiang is actually difficult to get involved with the "peasant uprising".
