Chapter 156: Hanging Out

"Huh!"

Fang Nan, who was walking on the street, was surprised, stared at the left front for a few seconds, and then ushered in a certain girl in pink to glare back.

Thinking that in this era, he shouldn't look directly at a strange woman for a long time, Fang Nan withdrew his gaze.

In the modern world, when you suddenly see a few beauties, everyone must stare at them, but in this era, it is easy to get the title of "Dengzi".

After Fang Nan retracted his gaze, Qiao Muyu no longer looked at Fang Nan, Fang Nan was not handsome, his appearance could only be said to be middle and upper, at most, his temperament was a little unusual, and it did not reach the point where Qiao Muyu fell in love at first sight.

Sitting in Guangzhou City, it has been busy for many days, Fang Nan has time to come out for a walk, relax, and inspect the situation in Guangzhou City by the way, he is in a high position, if he can't go down to the bottom, he can't really understand the situation just by relying on the reports of his subordinates.

Just like the emperor who spends most of his time in the imperial city, the world he can understand very well is only limited to the area around him, and the hidden intrigues in other areas of the imperial palace may be unknown to the emperor, let alone the world outside the imperial city.

The emperor wanted to understand the world outside the imperial city only through the ministers' recitals and the Jinyiwei's reports.

If the emperor wants to leave the palace and go out, once the ministers know, they will definitely be dissuaded, saying that it is for the sake of the emperor's safety, the real situation is unknown, and many ministers want an emperor who knows nothing and can only rely on them to govern the world.

Maybe there were still hidden dangers in Guangzhou City, but Fang Nan was not afraid, so he changed into an ordinary dress at random and went for a walk on the street.

More than half a month has passed since the People's Army captured the city of Guangzhou, and with the gradual lifting of military control, the city of Guangzhou is also rapidly recovering its vitality, and many ordinary people who have recognized the People's Army have dared to go out into the streets, and some small traders and hawkers have started their own small businesses again, and fewer shops have reopened.

Just now, Fang Nan also met a young lady from a large family traveling.

Even those large families who have not been raided are still very repulsive to the KPA, but in their hearts, they have slowly felt the peace under the rule of the KPA, so that they can go out of the house.

When he first came to this world, Fang Nan was a little envious of the luxurious life of a large family, if he was born in a large family, maybe Fang Nan would not have made a move to overthrow the Ming Dynasty.

However, thinking that in the end, the Ming Dynasty was destroyed by the Qing Dynasty, and Fang Nan, who was born in a large family, was most likely to change the Ming Dynasty and become a generation of powerful ministers, making the Ming Dynasty more powerful.

But the reality is that Fang Nan was born in a family of mountain people, and there is no household registration in the Ming Dynasty, so even the simple requirement of having a full meal may have problems.

It was the reality that led Fang Nan to the road of overthrowing the Ming Dynasty, since he embarked on this road, he must continue to do it well, and let the people of the whole world live a good life as much as possible.

To live a good life, this goal is both big and small.

In the eyes of most poor people, it is enough to live a good life as long as they can eat enough food every day, eat enough, and then marry a wife and have children, and inherit the bloodline.

All the common people under the rule of the People's Army, four acres of farmland for adults and two acres of farmland for minors, as long as they farm well, it is easy to achieve a full meal, and even make a new dress for the family in a year, and eat meat and vegetables during the New Year's holidays.

Under the rule of the People's Army, man-made disasters can be eliminated, but natural disasters cannot be stopped, floods, droughts, locusts, and all kinds of natural disasters will have a huge impact on the lives of ordinary people.

Leaving aside natural disasters, the small goal of having enough to eat was far from enough in Fang Nan's opinion.

Eat a full meal, eat meat at a meal, wear new clothes, live in a beautiful and comfortable house, children can enter the school to read and write, people can get timely treatment when they are sick, and even the whole country becomes richer and stronger.

This is Fang Nan's view from the perspective of modern people, the goal is too big, Fang Nan can't be sure whether it can be achieved, after all, now the weak People's Army is facing the third encirclement and suppression of the Ming Dynasty, blocking the Ming Army from surviving has become the main task of the People's Army at present, and the small goal of letting the people eat enough can be completed soon.

In fact, it is not enough to just divide the land, and the grain in many people's homes will not be able to support the harvest in the coming year.

Perhaps a small number of people will not cherish the free food and ask the People's Army again and again.

Although there are still a small number of large households that have not been raided, the grain obtained by the people's army of those large households has supported the people under the rule of the people's army to be very easy when the next grain is received.

It can be said that since the People's Army raised the flag, it has never worried about food again.

Seeing this grain, you can imagine how much the common people have been squeezed, and they can barely survive in a good year, but how miserable it will be in a disaster year.

In the eyes of the gentry and merchants, the poor people are untouchables, and the only role is that when the coolies are squeezed by the gentry and merchants, even if they starve to death, they will soon be supplemented by other untouchables.

Fang Nan has many plans in mind, such as making cement, making glass, cultivating and improving crops, education for all, etc., each plan is bigger than the other, but it is not easy to implement.

For example, for education for all, all the People's Army can do now is to establish schools in Yong'an County, Haifeng County and the surrounding areas, so that a group of teenagers can read and write, and if they want to expand to all parts of the People's Army, this is simply impossible to do, and the number of teachers is not enough, even those scholars and literati are willing to become teachers, and it is far from enough.

Making cement and glass is a relatively simple plan, but the KPA is still unable to do so because of a lack of manpower.

The People's Army has been farming in the mountains for a long time, but there are relatively few residents in the mountains, and Fang Nan was unable to lay a solid foundation, occupying most of Guangdong in just a few months.

In order to resist the converging Ming army, the people's army can only devote its limited strength to military affairs as much as possible, and only by resisting the Ming army can the people's army have time to develop.

……

"What do you want to do during your break?" Fang Nan shook off the distracting thoughts in his mind and continued to wander around the city of Guangzhou.
