Prosperity, the people suffer, death, the people suffer.

Now it is the prosperous period of the Ming Dynasty, but many ordinary people still have not lived a good life, such as the richest Jiangnan region of the Ming Dynasty, more than 90% of the farmers in many places are tenants, relying on renting landlords' land for a living.

The common people were oppressed and exploited by the landlord class, and when they could no longer live, a small number of ordinary people chose to rebel, and many more chose to flee from their homes where they had lived for decades, just like the first generation of Qingshanzhai fled into the mountains.

In the modern world, there have been various speculations about the population of the Ming Dynasty, such as the Wanli period, some people think that it reached 80 million people, some people think that it is about 100 million people, and some people even think that it is more than 150 million people.

Coming to this era, Fang Nan personally felt that the population of the Ming Dynasty would definitely exceed 100 million, and there were already a lot of people who could be counted by the outside world with household registration, and there were many mountain people who fled into the mountains and could not be counted.

The mountain people are the name of the outside world for people who live in the deep mountains without household registration, and there are many mountains and forests in Guangdong, just in the mountains and forests that belong to Yongan County, Huizhou Prefecture, there is more than one mountain people's residence.

Living deep in the mountains, there will be hunters in basically every village, although the villages are a little far apart, but after a few years and decades, the hunters will always accidentally find traces of other villagers.

Everyone is a mountain dweller, and similar encounters allow the villages to get along with each other amicably, and at the same time, the villages will trade with each other.

Qingshanzhai is lucky, can find such a good place to live, most of the other villages of farmland is not much, Qingshanzhai is familiar with the Xinghuazhai good weaving, Hutou Zhai is close to the iron mine and is good at striking iron, the farmland of Qingshanzhai has more grain output, so take out the excess grain and Xinghuazhai in exchange for cloth, and Hutouzhai in exchange for all kinds of ironware.

Several or even a dozen villages form a circle to help each other survive in the deep mountains, but there are also some necessities that cannot be obtained in the deep mountains, such as salt, which are obtained by the outside world.

It is also a very interesting thing, Qingshanzhai implements public ownership, and most of the other villages also implement public ownership, and the content is somewhat different, but the farmland is shared.

……

Fang Nan and his party walked in the farmland, and the students who ran fast had already arrived at their parents' side to help their parents with their work.

The people of Qingshanzhai are talking and laughing while working, and the children who should be reading and writing at home come to help with the work, and the adults naturally want to ask.

"Erwa, aren't you reading and reading? How did you get here. Erwa's father asked.

Erwa replied, "The teacher said that this morning's homework is over. ”

"Schoolwork is over, what have you learned? Know a few words? A man in his twenties next to Erwa's father asked curiously.

Erwa: "Today, the teacher didn't teach us to read, the teacher told us why we should read and write, and then told us a story to make us understand that we should respect the teacher." ”

"Erwa, do you know why you want to study?"

Erwa: "I know, the teacher said that if you read and write, you can live a good life outside the mountain, have a big house to live in, all kinds of delicious food, and beautiful clothes to wear." ”

Hearing Erwa's words, the adults around her had different faces.

Younger people don't know the importance of household registration, and their eyes are full of envy when they look at Erwa, they also want to live a good life outside the mountain, and they also want to live in a big house, eat good food, and wear beautiful clothes, but unfortunately they didn't become Fangnan's students and couldn't read and write.

Older people know the importance of household registration, they are mountain people, even if they can read and write, without household registration, they cannot live in the outside world, but they do not talk about it, so as not to discourage their children's interest in learning.

Knowledge can be passed down from generation to generation, even if there is no way to use it now, there will always be a time when their children and grandchildren will use it, and those myths and legends are not passed down from generation to generation.

In the past, someone asked Erwa: "Erwa, what is the story told by your teacher, you tell us about it." ”

"Yes, yes." Several people around chimed in.

The words of the elders, the second baby naturally wanted to listen, so she said: "The story told by the teacher is called 'Chengmen Lixue', which is about a ...... of a big official hundreds of years ago."

What happened on Erwa's side happened in various areas of the farmland, and the adults were curious about what the children were learning in class, and the children answered the adults' questions honestly.

When it comes to "respecting teachers", the oldest of Fang Nan's students is only 15 years old, and they are not as knowledgeable as adults, and adults can better understand the meaning of the words "one day as a teacher and one life as a father".

At first, there was no carpenter in Qingshanzhai, but some people like carpenter work, study for some time, improve their skills, and become recognized carpenters, carpenters will accept a few disciples, teach them carpenter work, and the disciples treat the carpenter master with great respect, as if they were their own father.

The carpenter teaches carpenter work, and Fang Nan teaches reading and literacy, both of which teach a skill and are essentially the same.

"Yes, Muzi, you are older than the teacher, but the teacher teaches you to read and write, you must respect the teacher."

"Son, if you don't respect the teacher, I'll discount your leg."

"Da Niu, you will do what the teacher says in the future."

It's only been such a short time, and the students don't have much respect for Fang Nan in their hearts, after all, in the past few years, everyone has interacted with each other and even fought together, and they can't adapt to the sudden change of identity.

Now the adults have to respect the teacher themselves, and the elders naturally have to obey the words, and they have a little more respect for Teacher Fang Nan in their hearts.

There were even a few adults who thought about whether to ask their children to kowtow to Fang Nan, and when the carpenter accepted disciples, the disciples had to kowtow to the teacher, but after thinking about Fang Nan's age, they still put things down.

Anyway, Fang Nan didn't ask for it, and they wouldn't take the initiative to bring it up, Fang Nan was still a junior to them as adults, and it felt awkward to let his child kowtow to Fang Nan's junior.

At this time, the adults ignored the identity of the owner of Fangnan Village, or no one cared about the identity of the owner of the village, Qingshan Village is mainly ranked by seniority, and the affairs of Qingshan Village are mainly decided by the people with the largest generation.

Fang Nan walked over and heard the conversation between his students and elders, and unconsciously, Fang Nan had a little more smile on his face.

Fang Nan knew that it was not possible to make students older than him respect him and listen to his own words, but now with the teaching of the elders, the time in between would be greatly shortened, and it was a great thing for Fang Nan, this was the first step for Fang Nan to dominate Qingshan Village.
