091: Unexpected minority population
When Pan brought his father and a few familiar Yao villagers in the village, followed by a group of people dressed in simple clothes or even wrapped in leaves, came to Qin Er and Deng Shifeng, Pan was with a crying and laughing expression, and told Deng Shifeng and Qin Er that these thirty or forty people were Yao people in the mountains in the north, and it was also what happened to their father after they returned to the mountains to visit relatives during the Chinese New Year......
As mentioned earlier, when Guangxi sent troops from the Qin Dynasty to be incorporated into the central territory, it was full of barbarians, that is, the ancestors of ethnic minorities, and the Han population of the Central Plains not only brought advanced agricultural technology into the process, but also spread culture and life habits into this land. In the process of continuous conquest, exchange and assimilation, some ethnic minorities not only learned production technology and culture in the process of gradually learning from the outside world, but also established a special relationship with these non-native outsiders in the process of learning and exchange, that is, the people called Shu Yao and Shu Buck in ancient books......
From the very beginning, there were some ethnic minorities like Shu Yao in the mountain village, and even Deng Shifeng's side and the army also had such people, and Pan Zi was one of the representatives.
Pan is not his nickname but his real name, in the Yao population of Guangxi, the surname Pan is a big surname branch, from Guibei to Guizhong, you can see the Yao people with the surname Pan. And the sub-character after his last name...... There is no way, most of the literate and literate people in this era are not in the mountains, and it is extremely difficult to appear in the places where ethnic minorities live. Pan Zi did not live alone in the village, Pan Zi's parents also lived in the old village, along with several other ethnic minority residents.
Before the old village was relocated, these familiar Yao people worked and lived together like other villagers, and there were not many contradictions between them due to the common enemy and the need for survival, and because of the existence of these people, the people of the old village were more or less touched when they came into contact with other Yao residents, and the relationship between the two sides was not so tense. The final outcome of the old village is to be constantly squeezed deeper into the mountains, and then merged into the ethnic minorities or slowly assimilated into these ethnic minorities......
However, the appearance of Deng Shifeng not only changed the life and future of the Han population in the old village, but also changed the future of these Yao people. These people didn't care about the changes brought by Deng Shifeng at first, the Yao people were peaceful and did not want to have too much innovation and change, but this does not mean that they would not learn and imitate or even adapt to the creation of surnames. …… Ghost Believe!!
There is no shortage of opportunities in mountain villages, and various jobs and vacancies require a lot of human resources to fill, and these people themselves are the population of the old village, and they can have an innate advantage in terms of loyalty and trust. Not to mention that some of these people are families with children, and when they send their children to school, they are also gradually learning what their children learn from school. It can be said that the adults of these families are able to have the literacy level of recognizing a small number of characters and basic arithmetic, which is no different from illiteracy in later generations, but here in this era...... Already considered a literate person. In such an environment, there is also the comparison and stimulation of the improvement of the living standards of the surrounding people in the same period...... These people work hard in their spare time at various jobs, and they also gain more than their peers.
These things are the same as other villagers in the mountain village, nothing more than iron pots and knives, as well as food and some products, when harvesting these products, whether it is these people's show-off heart, or these people's mutual help is at work, several ethnic minority villagers in the old village exchanged labor for a small amount of iron tools such as survival knives, iron pots, iron plows, etc., and walked around their hometown in the north, which can be regarded as bringing some outside supplies back to the relatives in the mountains......
In fact, this kind of family visit can often be seen in later generations, children and adults who work outside will bring back a lot of things to their relatives in their hometown during the Chinese New Year, from candy to clothes, in the process of passing on filial piety and family affection, there is also a kind of thing to bring back some materials that are not or lack in their hometown!
(Yimu remembers that every time he and his parents went back to their hometown in the 80s, in addition to bringing candy, the most important thing they brought was the daily necessities that were difficult to buy in the countryside at that time, and even clothes and cloth were quite scarce.) In the 90s, these things basically did not need to be brought back, and the things carried were usually such as mechanical expansion rice machines, pumping machines or small equipment that had just emerged outside, and the things brought in the new century were basically electronic products, which shows the development and changes of the country and farmers)
Similar to the situation outside where several families still share an iron pot, the life of the ethnic minorities in the mountains is also extremely difficult, and many families are extremely scarce even decent iron tools, so you can imagine what kind of sensation it will bring when these high-quality iron tools appear in front of many Yao people in this way. Gu Panzi's father and another old village said that the people who brought these things over at that time were extremely face-saving, and many Yao people held these iron tools and couldn't put them down, but they kept asking how they got these things, and several people told about life in the mountain village and how to fight for work in exchange for these living materials...... What they didn't expect was that when they returned, there would be more of these mountain people......
"You mean these people want to come here to work and earn money for iron?!"
Rubbing his hands, after getting an accurate answer from the plate, Qin Er grinned and looked at the dozens of young and adult laborers behind him, it was really a good thing to fall off the pillow in the sky, when the village was short of manpower, such a group of young and adult laborers suddenly came, so it was strange that he was not happy to die.
"Daxian, look at these people...... To collect or not to receive? Although he was very happy to have such a group of people come to fight the first fire and fill the manpower gap, Qin Er still understood that in front of outsiders, he had to establish the prestige of Deng Shifeng Daxian as the first person in the mountain village.
"Close! Why don't you take it! Plate, you go to Wang Ya, ask her to find the school and the Yao students in the village and the villagers, Qin Er, you arrange for someone to build a temporary residence for them and introduce the rules of the village, and after they get used to it in two days, arrange for them to work in the mines and mountains! ”
Like Qin Er, Deng Shifeng was also happy to be able to get so many young and strong laborers, but he just didn't grin to his ears like Qin Er. And in his heart, he was thinking about the new reminder that this incident had given him.
This new situation reminds us that the living conditions in the mountain villages have been greatly improved compared with last year, and from a material point of view, compared with the aborigines in the mountainous areas and even most of the peasants in the outside world, they already have quite a lot of advantages, and if they are used well, this advantage can attract a large number of young and strong rural laborers to the cities just as urban life attracted a large number of rural people to flow into the cities, and at the same time create various values, it will also lead economic and cultural development to the rural areas. Although the current mountain village is not a city, the materials produced in the mountain village and the labor jobs that can be provided are actually the initial prototype of urbanization.
"Uncle Pan, let's talk about ......"
Deng Shifeng pulled the father of the plate aside when the crowd dispersed and prepared to do their own work, although Deng Shifeng, the great immortal, and himself were not the first time to meet and talk, but the appearance of the great immortal pulling himself still made the father of the plate a little honestly afraid.
"Daxian, it's really ...... to bring someone here without consulting you this time."
"Where, Uncle Pan, I want to thank you for bringing me so many helpers, not only that, but I also want to thank you again for helping me instill a good concept in these people." Deng Shifeng smiled and chatted with this old man who was not an old man.
"What...... Concept? The old man didn't understand.
"Hehe, it's the concept of labor to earn work and exchange products!!"
Deng Shifeng chose the most simple and popular language to explain to the elderly; In the past, if the Yao people in the mountains wanted to exchange for these iron tools and living materials, there were no more than two means - trading and snatching.
In terms of trading, due to the lack of information about the outside world and the inability to get out of the mountainous areas, many of the Yao people's hard-earned prey skins, medicinal herbs and various mountain goods were sold at cheap prices to the merchants who entered the mountains to buy them, and then bought these daily necessities at a high price. And armed robbery seems simple and rude, and there will be a lot of profits, but if the Yao people in the mountains really have such strong force, they will not be suppressed and confined to a specific environment every time......
Deng Shifeng's biggest gratitude to the elderly is that when the old people went home to save their relatives, when they told about the way to obtain these iron tools and materials, they inadvertently conveyed a new message and a new way of obtaining them to these Yao people - working in exchange! Compared with barter and armed robbery, this method not only has its own advantages, but also has the model representatives of the successful people such as Uncle Pan, and it is naturally easy to attract the people behind to follow suit......
With such a good example and the first case, Deng Shifeng naturally would not let go of such a good labor force, and he asked Panzi's father and other Yao villagers to bring more iron tools to the mountains farther away to attract those Yao people who needed these materials to come to work.
Of course, as for the safety of the mountain village, Uncle Pan brought back not laborers but robbers with different intentions...... Hmph, first of all, the ethnic contradictions here are not as deteriorating and irreconcilable as in other places, and besides, the more than 500 people in the village are already a hegemon in terms of numbers against these Yao people, even if the village guards and these Yao people with wooden guns and stone axes are opened...... That's bullying them too!!
