Chapter 20: The Minor Team
[Ask for investment! Ask for a 100 coin tip! 】
Through the mouths of the students, the story of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang spread throughout Qingshan Village, similar to Fang Nan's speculation, this story did not cause much repercussions in Qingshan Village, most people listened to it as a story, only the oldest few in Qingshan Village had a different feeling about the story of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang.
In the early years of Hongwu, in order to suppress the people's resistance, the Ming Dynasty set up a large number of inspection departments in some places, such as Jiangxia Hou Zhou Dexing when he guarded Fujian, he "looked at each other's key points, built 16 cities, and placed 5 out of 40 inspection divisions".
In Guangdong, the inspection divisions are mainly concentrated in Guangzhou, Huizhou, and Zhaoqing, accounting for 47 percent of the total number in Guangdong, because these three prefectures are areas where peasant uprisings have occurred.
It can be said that the people living in these three areas more or less know about some peasant uprisings, and the oppression and exploitation of the government and landlords made it impossible for the common people to live, which was the most fundamental reason for the peasant uprisings, but under the suppression of the Ming Dynasty, the peasant uprisings failed.
The failure of the uprising means death, so there are fewer and fewer people who dare to revolt, and more and more people flee to the mountains.
At the beginning, Grandpa Fang Nan led a group of poor people to flee into the mountains, and there were no people in the team who flashed the idea of "rebellion" in their minds, but there were few people and weak strength, and rebellion was only a dead end, and all these very few people who had ideas did not open their mouths.
Listening to the stories of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang told by the younger generations, several older people were full of emotion in their hearts, the lives of the common people at the end of Qin were not good, and their lives were not good at the beginning, and they were really lucky to be alive today.
In the past, they would not have the idea of "overthrowing the Ming Dynasty" in their minds, but today after listening to the story of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, a thought flashed in their minds: "How good it would be if the Ming Dynasty was overthrown, they don't need to hide in the mountains to live." ”
It is impossible for the old people to imagine that even if a feudal dynasty is overthrown and the next feudal dynasty appears, the common people are still the objects of oppression and exploitation, but it is not easy to appear the idea of "overthrowing the Ming Dynasty".
To be able to have this change, in fact, is a small change in Fang Nan's Qingshan Village, although the change is small, but it is very important to Fang Nan, a small change is a big change, the people of Qingshan Village were afraid that the Ming Dynasty would flee into the mountains again, and how to make them face the "powerful" Ming Dynasty if they did not make a big change.
In the past year, it was not easy for Fang Nan to make this small change to Qingshan Village, in order to achieve the goal, Fang Nan made efforts from two directions, one is to tell stories, and the other is to let the villagers read and write.
Listening to stories is an interesting entertainment activity for the villagers, in addition to telling stories at will at the beginning, Fang Nan is planning to tell some stories with deep meaning, such as the description of the beautiful life in the modern world, which can make the villagers yearn for a better life in the modern world.
Before that, who knew that there were Song and Yuan before the Ming Dynasty, through the stories told by Fang Nan, the audience was able to obtain some knowledge that they had not been exposed to before, and they had little knowledge, which could only be described as "foolish people", and it was very easy to be fooled.
Just like Fang Nan said that he was in a coma for three days and lived in another world for thirty years, and now there is no one in Qingshan Cottage who does not believe.
Listening to stories can increase knowledge, reading and literacy can also increase knowledge, and learning the "Three Character Classic" can know some life truths, which is even more important for an ordinary person than listening to stories.
Since a student reported to Fang Nan that an adult wanted to follow the student to read and write was approved by Fang Nan, this matter was let go by Fang Nan, anyway, Fang Nan would not accept more students, and his own students could teach.
After Fang Nan taught the students for half a year, Fang Nan felt that the students were learning very well and had a little qualification to teach others to read and write, so Fang Nan officially gave the students the task to teach their families to read and write.
After the elders of the students knew about the task assigned by Fang Nan, the elders were very puzzled, they were so old, or in the mountains, what was the use of reading and literacy? And most parents are embarrassed to be taught literacy by their own children.
Fang Nan replied: "Don't you need to read and write when you are old and in the mountains?" It is very difficult for ordinary people in the outside world to read and write, and now they can't take advantage of the opportunity to read and write for free, so they can learn to read and write, and when they go to the earth to meet the ancestors and ancestors under the nine springs, they can prove to them that they are 'scholars'......"
There were relatively few adults who were willing to be taught reading and literacy by their own children, Fang Nan "invited" the ancestors and ancestors under Jiuquan out, and the number of adults who were willing to read and write greatly increased for a while, and even the oldest people were willing to learn some words, at least they had to be able to write their own names.
The first group of adults followed the juniors to read and write, and the "embarrassment" of the later adults was greatly reduced, and after ten days and half a month, the adults have slowly become accustomed to reading and literacy with the juniors.
Of course, it is only in their free time that adults read and write, and at other times they still have to do all kinds of work, and in any case, it is the food that is the most important thing for them.
Adults can read and write, so that they can understand the truth of life, increase their knowledge, and then have some thoughts about themselves, life, and Qingshanzhai, which is a very important small change.
Adult literacy actually has another important role.
The first batch of 42 students of Professor Fang Nan were the team of Fang Nan's "rebellion", only a few dozen, which is also very few, and there are hundreds of people in Qingshanzhai, if they can all read and write, even if they are not as big as Fang Nan's students, they can also give a lot of help.
Assuming that the most ordinary people among the students taught by Fang Nan can manage a county, then can other people in Qingshanzhai manage a village.
In Fang Nan's eyes, Qingshanzhai is his starting place, the students he teaches in person are the most important team, and everyone else can be a secondary team, and the number of secondary teams is several times more than the number of important teams.
Literate or illiterate, more knowledgeable and less knowledgeable, the gap between the two is too big, if an adult male is illiterate, at most he will become a soldier or the lowest level of officials, able to read and write, the village is the beginning.
It is also that there are too few people who can be used by Fang Nan now, and there are not many options, so they can only arm the people of Qingshanzhai intellectually.
