Lin's family, an ordinary village in Yong'an County, lives next to the mountains, most of the more than 100 families surnamed Lin are poor families, two-thirds of the families do not have their own fields, and the remaining one-third have fields, and no more than five households can be self-sufficient, so they can only rent the landlord's land to barely live.

The landlord who rented the land to the Lin family was also a shrewd person, and the "rent" of the field was very high, almost to the limit of what could be squeezed.

The people of the Lin family are not satisfied with their current life, but they are not willing to make changes easily, rebellion is a major crime of killing their heads, and it is very likely that they will starve to death if they flee into the mountains.

Day after day, year after year, the people of the Lin family struggled to survive on this land.

Everyone is good at reading, and if there is a person in the family who can read and write, the fate of the family will change, and it is not a problem to be fed and clothed, and the people in the Lin family also know this truth.

However, the people of the Lin family also know that the cost of reading and writing is too high, and they are just barely fed, and they have no money to see a doctor when they are sick, and the cost of reading and writing for a child is even higher, which is not at all affordable for small farmers or even tenants.

Sometimes the people in the Lin family also think: "It would be great if there was a scholar or even a big official among us, as long as we brought other people's families, we didn't need to live this poor life anymore." ”

This kind of discourse is just a thought, they all know that it is too difficult and too difficult to achieve this, even if all the families in the whole family contribute money to provide for a child to read and write, they cannot afford it.

Even if they can afford it, it is a big problem for whose children to read and write, and most of the families are surnamed Lin, which does not mean that they are really very united.

However, on this day, luck suddenly befell the Lin family, and two poor scholars came to the Lin family and told everyone in the Lin family that they were willing to teach the children of the Lin family to read and write, and only needed to provide shelter and food for two people.

Knowledge changes fate, in the past, they did not have the opportunity to let their children read and write, change the fate of farming, and now the opportunity has come.

A family can't afford to hire two poor scholars, if everyone in the entire Lin family grits their teeth and starves for a few meals, the food taken out is enough for the two scholars to eat, and the two scholars are willing to accept all school-age children as students, even girls.

This is a big event, the chief invited the only remaining older generation of the Lin family out, summoned everyone in the Lin family, and discussed inviting two poor scholars to teach the children of the Lin family to read and write.

The opportunity to change their fate is just around the corner, and most of them agree with this matter, and a few people do not agree for the time being, mainly because they have no school-age children.

However, the rest of the people soon agreed, believing that it was impossible for two scholars to teach a group of students, and even if they did not teach the next group of students, two of the students who had completed the study could come out to teach the younger children of the Lin family to read and write.

Successfully made the people of the Lin family agree to teach here, Du Zhan and He Quan smiled, their mission to the Lin family had been initially successful.

Du Zhan and He Quan are children of Xinghua Village in the deep mountains, and they are also part of Fang Nan's team, and they are only 18 years old this year.

In order to overthrow the dream of the Ming Dynasty, Du Zhan and He Quan formed a group and took the initiative to apply for the task of uniting the poor people in the outside world.

The task of uniting the poor people has been expanded, it can be carried out in other villages in the deep mountains, or it can be carried out in villages in the outside world, the outside world is so big, even if Fang Nan sends all the members of his team out, it is far from enough, as long as it is a boy, he is old enough to be willing to go to the outside world to perform the task, and it is easy to apply for it.

So Du Zhan and He Quan came to Lin's house near the mountain.

Before Du Zhan and He Quan, more than 10 groups of people had successfully gone to other villages to become teachers, and for the poor people living in the outside world, they deeply understood the words "reading changes their fate", and if they wanted to live a life of food and clothing, reading and literacy was the first way they could think of it.

If you want to live a good life, you don't have to read and write, but you don't want to be a landlord but don't have the money to buy a field, you want to learn a craft but no one teaches you, you want to join the army but you don't have that qualification, or you don't dare to join the army for fear of death.

On the contrary, under the propaganda of hundreds of thousands of years, reading and writing is the best way to become a master, and even the poor people know it.

Du Zhan and He Quan are only eighteen years old, and they also look like poor scholars, after coming to the Lin family to say their identity as "scholars", the people of the Lin family are more respectful of both of them, even the older people are no exception, when the people of the Lin family discuss things, the two are also invited to the side, good food and drink are served.

The opportunity is not easy to come by, and the people of the Lin family are afraid that they will treat the two scholars badly, so let the two scholars leave, and lose this hard-won opportunity, and then they will want to cry without tears.

In the name of teaching, Du Zhan, He Quan and other members of the Fang Nan team successfully settled in various villages, although "teaching" is in the name, but all the people who teach have to carry it out well, even if they only teach for two years, they can also teach a group of students who can read, read and do arithmetic, and there is no problem at worst being a small official.

Teaching is only the first task, and the most important task for Du Zhan and He Quan to come to the Lin family is to unite more than 100 families and hundreds of people in the Lin family, so that the people of the Lin family can understand that if they want to live a good life, the best way is to overthrow the Ming Dynasty.

It is impossible for the people of the Lin family to overthrow the Ming Dynasty by themselves, there are only more than 100 families, but they are not the opponents of the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty can easily destroy the Lin family by sending a team of 100 people.

The strength of the Lin family is not enough, but they can rebel with the leader of Fangnan, the leader of Fangnan will unite the poor people of the whole world, as long as the Ming Dynasty is overthrown, everyone can get their own land, no longer need to rent the landlord's land, as long as they cultivate their own land, they can keep the family fed and clothed.

If you are willing to join the army and fight with the leader of Fangnan, the family with personnel joining the army will get a certain reduction in taxes, and if you make meritorious service on the battlefield, you can get more land, and the family can live a rich life.

These contents need to be transmitted to the people of the Lin family by Du Zhan and He Quan in one to two years, first through the students to distribute some of the content sideways, through the students to influence the elders of the students, and when the people of the Lin family have other ideas in their hearts, it is the time for Du Zhan and He Quan to harvest.
