Deng Shifeng finally got the two pieces of information he wanted to know most, one was the current year and month, and the other was the specific location. Although the two pieces of information obtained are only approximate and not completely accurate dates, months and places, Deng Shifeng is very satisfied to be able to get these under such conditions.

For a person who has traveled back in time, information such as time and place is extremely important, which not only allows the traveler to understand the general background of the current social environment, but also determines whether he is at the center of some tragedy that is about to happen in history. The first need of human needs is physiological needs, and in this regard, Deng Shifeng has used the materials that have crossed together and his own efforts to achieve this; And the second need is personal safety! A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, not to mention that Deng Shifeng also knows that he is not a gentleman, so he naturally wants to hide from danger as far away as possible. Although Guangxi has not suffered too much impact and damage in so many years of changing dynasties, not having much does not mean that there is none, and the preparations that should be made are still quite necessary.

After learning these two important pieces of information, Deng Shifeng was not in a hurry to publish anything, because Deng Shifeng still had a lot of incomprehension to understand about Qin Er and their entire village. Deng Shifeng had a little understanding of the composition of the people in the village, and knew that these people came from different backgrounds, and under his questioning, Deng Shifeng had a better understanding of the composition of these people.

There is still no accurate number of how many people are in the village, Qin Er, the leading brother, because no one has done such statistics, so the old man can only roughly tell Deng Shifeng that there are about 50 households and more than 200 people, which is more consistent with the number observed by Deng Shifeng on the mountain. In terms of population composition, these people are not all pure Han population, among them, because of long-term contact with the Han people, they have been very sinicized in language and living habits, and there are more than ten ethnic minorities called "Shu Yao and Shu Yao".

In various records, most of the riots in Guangxi were "barbarians", that is, ethnic minorities as the main body, which is related to the governance policy of the Ming Dynasty's political axe, which is the main key point, but in fact, in the previous popular uprisings, the participation of the Han population who could not bear the exploitation and oppression is hardly mentioned in it. Among the ethnic minorities living in Guangxi, the Zhuang nationality is naturally the first number group, and the Yao, Dong, and Miao ethnic groups are also large populations. However, this does not mean that there are no Han people involved in it, recorded in the "Western Guangdong Congzai" There is such a paragraph: in the fourth year of Tianshun, the Datengxia Righteous Army was cooperated by the uprising team led by Hu Zhaocheng, the Han people of Tengxian County, and burned the Yamen of the Tengxian County Government Office These records are extremely rare records of the participation of the Han people in various historical materials. The reason why there is so little documentation may be that the author of the book is obscure, or it is deliberate...... None of these things can be studied at all, but if you think that there is no participation of the Han people at the bottom in the various minority uprisings...... Then you're Too young, too simple...... Oppression is not preferential because of the nation!

Therefore, Deng Shifeng was able to understand why the ethnic composition in the village was so mixed, and at the same time, these people who should have ethnic entanglements would live together and fight side by side against the enemy - because of the common pressure of survival and the common enemy, they had to huddle together in order to survive.

Not to mention the ethnic minorities in the village for the time being, among the Han people like Qin Er, there are still many military households and artisan households in those years.

The history of the military household is not much repeated here, Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang in order to reduce the burden of the people to raise soldiers ingenious to make a military household such a freak out, at the beginning of its birth, its advantages are still quite a lot, but also for the Ming Dynasty to create a stable and expanded territory has made a great contribution. But the drawbacks of the military household are also extremely obvious, it didn't take long, the military combat ability of the entire Ming Dynasty was only an empty shell frame because of the decay and collapse within the military household, and there was not much to mention in other places, the whole Guangxi in the early days of the founding of the Ming Dynasty successively migrated, incorporated more than 100,000 military households (note: different sources are called 180,000 and also called 120,000), in the Yongle period because of the need for the war in Annam, which is now Vietnam, a large number of people have moved in as the corresponding household registration. These military households have suffered losses due to perennial wars, coupled with the exploitation of the low-level soldiers by the military households themselves, which has caused the remaining sergeants to flee one after another, so the shortage of officers and soldiers in the guard post is very serious. (Note: The pros and cons of military households and the exploitation of the bottom by the top can be checked by Baidu, so as not to waste space)

Recorded in the fifth volume of the "Hengzhou Chronicles", such as the number of Guangxi elephant guards placed in the Hongwu period, there is such a passage, which can clearly explain:

"The original banner army of 5,600 people, divided into five, a total of 2,146 before and after", Yongle and Xuande years, "with the expedition to Jiaozhi, lost most of it", and because "the land is close to Yaoman, the years are often recruited, the death is said to be very much, and there are no two out of ten,...... In the twenty-third year of Chenghua, only 619 remained, 548 in the eighth year of Hongzhi, and 368 in the Wanli period.

It can be seen that the escape of the military households of the Ming Dynasty is extremely serious, as the saying goes: "Ten do not save two"! Where are the even more fugitive soldiers? In addition to the military households, there are many craftsmen who are also living extremely miserable? There is no record in the ancient books, but it is not difficult to imagine if you think about it: some of these people entered large households and were reduced to slavery in order to get rid of slavery and pay taxes, and some went into the mountains and became some mountain people; When they enter the mountainous areas, they not only open up some uninhabited areas in a sense, but also enter the areas where the ethnic minority population lives, bringing more advanced farming technology and living culture to the backward mountainous areas, and gradually contacting and exchanging with the ethnic minorities and even intermarrying...... In both cases...... Which one do you think is more? ……

In addition to the ethnic minorities in the village, the Han population like the elder generation of Qin Er naturally had military households, artisan households, and even poor peasants and even slaves who had nothing......

Figuring out the population composition is not Deng Shifeng's need to pat his head, but Deng Shifeng needs to clearly understand the previous identity background of these people, as well as their professional expertise. Zhu Yuanzhang's artisan household and military household contributed to the development of Chinese civilization will not be mentioned for the time being, what should be explained here is that the descendants of military households are still military households, and the descendants of craftsmen can only be craftsmen; In this kind of household registration system, which is marked by a person as soon as he is born, and becomes a lifelong occupation, from the perspective of personal surnames, this permanent household registration system is extremely cruel and has no surnames, and it can be analyzed objectively in a certain sense, and this method at least ensures that the two professions of military and industrial, which are extremely despised and despised by literati and artists, have a sufficiently stable reserve personnel......

A person like Qin Er, who was born in a military family with an ancestral family, is not a good hand at farming, but fighting and splitting people is a talent inherited from his ancestors, and a blacksmith like the old man Sun in the village can at least help the village solve some emergency products such as production tools. Now Deng Shifeng lacks everything, no matter what you did before, even if it is a kiln and charcoal seller, Deng Shifeng is an extremely valuable talent; Although Deng Shifeng is still an eighteen-year-old boy, he and many memories in his mind agree with one sentence:

"With the length of people, there will be no one in the world. If you use people shortly, there will be no available people in the world! ”
