Chapter 160: The Old People Who Left Behind
Qingshanzhai, where the main high-level leaders of the People's Army were born and raised together, there is no trace of people at this time.
The geographical environment of this area of Qingshanzhai is very good, and all the flat land around it has been reclaimed into farmland, which is enough for hundreds of families to eat, which is a rare good place in the mountains.
However, it is located in the deep mountains, too far away from the outside world, it is too troublesome to enter and exit the mountains, the people of Qingshanzhai not only have to eat enough, but also eat salt, wear clothes, and also need farm tools for farming, many of which are not produced by Qingshanzhai itself, and must be obtained from places outside Qingshanzhai.
In any case, Qingshanzhai with a large area of farmland is a good place, and those people who do not have farmland will definitely move here as soon as they see such a good place, but now Qingshanzhai is no longer inhabited.
When Zhang Juzheng was in charge of the government, he re-cleared the farmland in the world, and there were 713,976 hectares of farmland in the whole country, or more than 700 million mu, of which 32.96 million mu were official and private fields in Guangdong.
The People's Army occupies most of Guangdong, and adults are given four acres of farmland and minors are given two acres of farmland.
The People's Army allocates land to the common people, and after joining the army, it will give more farmland, and in this case, the farmland in Guangdong is enough for the People's Army to distribute.
As a result, even if some people know that there is a lot of farmland cultivated by each person in Qingshanzhai, almost no one will come to settle here, and the reluctance to stay away from home is a factor, Qingshanzhai's location in the mountains is a factor, and of course, Qingshanzhai is the hometown of the Metropolitan Governor is also a factor.
Fang Nan led his students to form the People's Army, led the People's Army out of the mountains, and successfully occupied most of the area after one battle after another.
During this period, not only the young people of Qingshanzhai joined the People's Army, but also the middle-aged people joined the People's Army, and they basically served as minor officials in a certain county government first, and now they may have become middle and lower-level officials in a certain county.
Young people left Qingshanzhai, middle-aged people also left Qingshanzhai, most of them left with their families, and soon the people living in Qingshanzhai became mainly people of the elderly.
Although the People's Army continues to clean up the bandits, there are so many mountains and forests in Guangdong, and no one can be sure how many bandits and bandits have not been eliminated, once they find the Qingshan Village, it will be a bad thing.
The people who left Qingshanzhai wanted to leave with their elders, but the elders had lived in this Qingshanzhai for too long, some were reluctant to leave, and more importantly, they were unwilling to drag down the juniors, they would rather stay in Qingshanzhai all the time.
The juniors said that under the rule, this situation was changed, and in the end, the old people did not still leave the mountain, but changed a place to live, that is, Hutou Village.
Hutou Village is a little noisy because of the sound of mining and smelting iron, there are enough people, Hu Xiaoya, Zhu Qiaomei and others also live here, and there are people's troops guarding here, so it is relatively safe to send the old people to live here.
In fact, not only the old people of Qingshan Village, but also the old people of Xinghua Village, Wufang Village and other villages have also moved to Hutou Village to live.
Most of the people in Qingshan Village have gone out of the mountain, Xinghua Village, Wufang Village and other villages that were attacked by Fangnan in the early days, most of them also joined the People's Army to go out of the mountain together, and struggled in various places in Guangdong, not worrying about the old people at home, and the old people were not willing to go out of the mountain, so they had to be sent to Hutou Village.
Due to the limited terrain, it is difficult to accommodate too many people, but as the old people move here, Hutou Village will have to continue to expand, if not if it cannot be expanded.
However, with the stabilization of the situation by the People's Army, the people of Hutouzhai will gradually move to the outside world in the future, after all, it is deep in the mountains, and it is too troublesome to enter and exit the mountains, and soon the People's Army will not need the small iron ore on this side of Hutouzhai to continue mining.
Approaching Hutou Village, the familiar sound of striking iron makes many people nostalgic, walking into Hutou Village, you can see many elderly people sitting together, talking and laughing together.
The old people who have been living in the deep mountains do not know what Huizhou Mansion is, nor do they know what Guangzhou City is, and they are very happy to hear that the People's Army continues to defeat the Ming Army and occupy more cities.
Rebellion is to kill the head, the old people all know this sentence, the juniors wanted to rebel, the old people were unwilling, time passed slowly, the old people recognized the actions of the juniors, but the old people were still afraid.
The old people don't know how powerful the Ming Court is, in their hearts, the Ming Court is invincible, the old people are afraid that the juniors will be defeated by the Ming army, it doesn't matter if the old people are killed by themselves, the old people hope that the juniors can live well.
Hearing the news of the People's Army's victory, and the news of the victory one by one, the worries and fears in the hearts of the old people slowly disappeared.
When an old man was dying, he seemed to have seen the scene where the People's Army overthrew the Ming Dynasty and killed the Dog Emperor so that the common people in the world could live a good life, and closed his eyes forever with a smile.
The old man who has never seen the emperor or even a big official in his life, perhaps in his mind, the emperor is just like those landlords.
The old people are looking forward to the People's Army continuing to win the war, looking forward to the People's Army overthrowing the Ming Dynasty, and their sons and grandsons being able to become great officials and glorify their ancestors.
In fact, the old people are very selfish, most people think in their hearts that they can live a good life, and it has nothing to do with them that others can't live a good life.
Of course, this kind of selfishness is normal for ordinary people, and no one can expect an ordinary person to become a saint too.
In the words of the old people, Fang Nan, the governor of the capital, is the object of the most talk, Fang Nan is very young, only twenty-one years old this year, but in the words of the old people, Fang Nan is very respectful.
Some people say that Fang Nan is an immortal who descends to earth and takes them to live a good life, and some people say that they have seen Fang Nan's various strange performances, especially those old people in Qingshan Village, who can play a lot in this kind of topic.
Although the People's Army has not yet overthrown the Ming Dynasty, in the hearts of the old people, they think that under the leadership of Fang Nan, the People's Army will definitely overthrow the Ming Dynasty, and they say that this is thanks to Fang Nan's words, even if Fang Nan can't see or hear it.
They often pray to God, hoping that God will bless Fang Nan to live a long life without disasters and difficulties.
If Fang Nan heard this, he didn't know what expression to show, would it be difficult to live a long life?
Hu Xiaoya, who has been living in Hutou Village, almost never goes over when the old people chat, as Fang Nan's wife, the old people respect Fang Nan and also respect Hu Xiaoya very much, this respect makes Hu Xiaoya a little unacceptable.
