The village of Shangwa is strategically located and has the best external environment of all the surrounding villages.

There is clear water in front of the village, fertile fields around, and high mountains behind the village.

Surrounded by mountains and rivers, the land is fertile.

For the family, this is simply the ideal place to live.

A few years ago, in order to make its development better, the village shouted to cultivate the road, and the old Zhao family was lucky, and one of the roads built went straight to his door.

At present, as long as Li goes out, he can see this spacious and bright avenue.

The avenue is about one zhang wide, all the way to the east entrance of the village in the distance, although it is mostly paved with yellow mud, but the ground is quite flat and thick, compared to the kind of country land that is less than three feet of the road, it looks magnificent and decent.

This is not only that, when it was originally built, considering the problem of water and snow, the Li Zheng of their village referred to the structure in the county, and deliberately shoveled out a one-foot-long and half-foot-deep soil ditch on both sides of this avenue, all of which were used as waterways when it rained on cloudy days, so as to ensure the freshness and cleanliness of this avenue at all times.

Not to mention anything else, just looking at such a decent and neat avenue every day, the villagers who come and go are very beautiful in their hearts.

Walking on this avenue, even the footsteps close to the ground are easy and happy.

This is not counting, it should be known that the overall structure of Shangwa Village is not obvious.

At present, there are two more avenues in the village, but the whole village is more prominent.

Two spacious and neat avenues, traversing the four directions of southeast, northwest and northwest, divide Shangwa Village into four small pieces equally.

Zhao Fuxiang's family lives on the far right of the Tianzi box, that is, in the southwest corner, next to the edge of this north-south avenue.

It can also be said that almost all the families surnamed Zhao in the entire Shangwa village live in the southwest corner.

As for why they live here, it starts from the four brothers of Zhao Fuxiang who fled forty years ago.

Forty years ago, an unprecedented and huge riot occurred directly in the southeast of the Central Plains, and the southeast of the Central Plains is a rich land and has always been the fat in the mouths of the major forces.

In addition, at that time, the imperial court was incompetent, corrupt officials and corrupt officials were prevalent, and countless large and small forces began to rise, constantly conquest each other, and snatched the fertile territory of the Central Plains.

As a result, countless villagers in the southeast of the Central Plains, who were originally quite wealthy, were forced to be displaced, became helpless and helpless, and even landed as a coward, becoming a bandit in the fish and meat township.

At that time, the displaced people were extremely miserable, they lost the land they relied on for survival, lost their relatives and friends, and even the unlucky young and middle-aged people, and were captured by the forces that appeared from time to time to serve as soldiers or robbed by bandits who came down the mountain.

This kind of life without hope can be said to be worse than death.

If the displaced people want to live in peace, they can only choose to leave their homeland and flee north or south.

Zhao Fuxiang and his family escaped for this reason.

Instead of going south, they fled north with their fellow villagers.

On the way to escape, they also went through hardships.

In the end, when Zhao Fuxiang's family came to the territory of Shangwa Village, there were only four brothers left.

At that time, there were chaotic battles everywhere, and countless forces rose up every day, and in the same way, countless forces were exterminated every day.

They are like passers-by in a hurry, and in the process of escaping, they have more or less witnessed a lot of history.

The four of them escaped with the descendants of the same village and clan, most of whom were mainly young and middle-aged.

Although there were many twists and turns on the road, he finally managed to escape.

Later, they chose to stay in Shangwa Village, but they also took a fancy to the surrounding environment of Shangwa Village, and they had fled for too long, they really couldn't walk, and finally chose to stay in Shangwa Village with the mentality of gambling.

When I first settled, this place was not called Shangwa Village, and there were only a few scattered families around, and these families took turns to serve as the village, and there was no serious village name.

At that time, Li Zheng's surname was Tang, and he was a very smart and far-sighted little old man, who had served here for five years before Zhao Fuxiang and other people who fled did not come.

Tang Lizheng also understands that the place where they live has good feng shui, which is too eye-catching.

Even if he were to take in the fugitives now, it would be appropriated by other ambitious people who came later.

After all, in that era, there were too many people who couldn't survive and ran to flee, and no one could guarantee that there would not be a few ruthless leaders in the crowd.

It was also for the safety of his own family, Tang Lizheng discussed a few words with the old people in the village at that time, and then made a decision and directly took in Zhao Fuxiang and the young adults who had fled.

There are also conditions for taking them in, and if these young and middle-aged people are incorporated in, they will not be able to rely on their own strength to rob the Feng Shui treasures that already have the Lord around them.

At the same time, if the village is attacked by other displaced people, the young adults who have merged into the village will also have to work together to defend the whole village.

Zhao Fuxiang paid the price, and in contrast, they could naturally get the same benefits as the indigenous villagers, such as the surrounding fertile land without an owner.

With the land as a guarantee, these requirements put forward by Tang Lizheng are naturally not a problem for Zhao Fuxiang and them, who have fled.

The two sides quickly reached an agreement, and after that, Zhao Fuxiang and these homeless people sent a few representatives to the nearby county seat Yamen with Tang Lizheng in the village to handle the local household registration.

At that time, their area still belonged to the territory of the imperial court of the previous dynasty, and if they wanted to stay and live reasonably, they needed to go to the yamen to apply for a certificate according to the number of heads, that is, they had to register and become serious villagers here.

Under normal circumstances, it is indeed difficult for outsiders to apply for household registration in other places.

But who made the situation chaotic.

At that time, the imperial court was busy guarding against foreign enemies, the surrounding situation was unstable, everyone was living a life with today and no tomorrow, and they all had an indifferent mentality towards the refugees who escaped.

In short, if you come to one and count one, you can earn one point.

If you want to stay, they don't know how long this place will last, as long as you don't regret it when you become displaced in the future.

In this way, under the acquiescence of several parties, Zhao Fuxiang and his wave of refugees not only successfully stayed, but everyone also received a certificate.

Even men who have a separate household registration can get an additional one-and-a-half-acre homestead in Shangwa Village to build a house and survive.

As for why one and a half acres of homestead land was given to build houses, one is because there was indeed a lot of vacant land around at that time, and the mountains were all over the land except for the land, and the other was that no one thought that in the environment of continuous conquest at that time, these lands could be retained, including Tang Lizheng, who led them to the household registration.

You must know that Tang Lizheng's original mind was just to recruit these young and middle-aged homeless people, make preparations with both hands, and it is good to be able to live all the time, if not, when they flee in the future, they can also take care of each other and reduce the danger of going on the road alone.

But who thinks, by mistake.

In the following decades, even if the court they were in at that time was destroyed, they did not fight again.

For them, it's just a simple change of county order, and then a change of court to continue to pay taxes and live.

Relying on the changes in the surrounding terrain, the land they obtained earlier was not only retained, but also developed better and better, which is simply a typical case of a wave of fertilizer.

It's also good luck.

Moreover, according to the laws of the imperial court at that time, Tang Li was divided into the dry fields and paddy fields on which they depended for their survival, as well as the many unused hillside woodlands around them, according to the number of populations.

The four Zhao Fuxiang brothers, all in the prime of life, were in the county government at that time, and when they were in the county government, they directly handled four separate household registrations, saving the trouble of coming to renew after that.

After finishing the whole thing, the silver money brought out by the four brothers also cost seventy-seven eighty-eight, and the rest of the silver money was divided equally among the four of them, and they bought a house and married a daughter-in-law.

There is enough flat land in Shangwa Village, so after one person divided one and a half acres of homestead, they even got five acres of paddy fields and eight acres of dry land, and there are more hillside woodlands, about fifteen acres per person, because the hillside woodland cannot grow crops, and the wood used for burning fires at home is produced from their own hillside woodland.

After that, the four Zhao Fuxiang brothers and the people of the same clan who fled all lived in the southwest corner of Shangwa Village with peace of mind.

And Zhao Fuxiang fell in love with the hill bag behind their yard, because with the hill bag, he could get three points more homestead area.

So when Tang Li in the village was bringing people to enclose the land, Zhao Fuxiang did not hesitate to choose the most marginal place, so after the New Year, Zhao Fuxiang also struggled to create such a family business today.

The northwest corner opposite them is also a family of refugees, but those children's surnames are messy, belonging to the retail households who run alone, and there are more people who join them halfway, Tang Lizheng also saw that they were honest, and leaving a group of people alone is not conducive to the stability of the village, after thinking about it carefully, Tang Lizheng arranged those children in the northwest.

The northeast corner of the village is the territory of the families who originally lived here, and it is also the richest and most fertile place in the entire Shangwa Village.

The last southeast corner was originally uninhabited, but later because the development of Shangwa Village was getting better and better, the population was increasing, and some of the children had many brothers in the family.

These newly bought homesteads are all assigned to the southeast corner, so the young people who live there are basically the little ones who have been separated from the village over the years, and the surnames are very mixed, and the surnames are everything, and they are also the most messy places in the village, and the Li family doesn't like it very much, so they don't usually go there.

……

The sun shone behind him, stretching Lee's shadow long.

Li's heart is very beautiful, and every time she walks on this spacious avenue, she will faintly grow a sense of pride in her heart.

On the way, I met many village women carrying buckets and carrying wooden basins to walk back.

Most of them are live fish, and their tails will move, and from time to time some water will be sprinkled out of them, and there will be traces of different shades on the ground.

Li couldn't help frowning, and when his toes touched such ground, he carefully avoided it.

Seeing that it was almost time for the sun to set, the old and young masters who had been busy all day also left the fields with their hoes and hurried home with their own straw hats.

When villagers walk on the road and see familiar people, they can't help but shout twice and say a word or two.

Big guy, you are laughing and playing with every word, with the sun slanting in the west, it is a leisurely pastoral scenery.

Li was going to Shi's house at the east entrance of the village to buy tofu, and she was worried that she would go too late and might not be able to buy tofu, so she left in a hurry.

As it turns out, if you go in a hurry, you will always encounter unexpected trouble.

No, I just said hello to a familiar aunt with a smile, and when I raised my eyes, I saw a woman wearing a dark blue homespun cloth, single eyelids, hanging eyes, and a mean expression.

Lee's ......

It's really unlucky, I actually ran into a mortal enemy.
