Chapter 29: Longshou Village (1)
Early the next morning, they left Guquan Town and headed east. Walking with them was also the housekeeper Uncle Fang.
Out of Guquan Town, the four of them walked quickly for more than an hour before entering the mountainous area. After walking along the mountain road for more than an hour, Pang Shiyuan pointed to a boulder on a mountain peak in front of him and said, "Dad, is that the dragon head stone you said?" â
Pang Zhiyang looked up, nodded and said, "That's right, that's the Dragon Head Stone." Look at the horn, the whisker, and the mouth, are they exactly the same as the dragon's head? â
"It's quite similar, no wonder it's called Longshou Village." Pang Shizong said.
Pang Shiyuan didn't care about this, he asked about other things: "Dad, this Longshou Village is remote enough, how did grandpa and uncle find this place back then?" â
Pang Zhiyang replied: "It was an accident. The military disaster that year forced our Pang family to abandon their ancestral property and flee in all directions, and your fifth uncle escaped here justly. Later, the war disaster was over, and the Pang family was rebuilt, but everyone was worried about the war disaster and felt that there should be a safer place to settle the clansmen. So under the advice of your fifth uncle, we established Longshou Village here that belongs to our Pang family. â
As the descendants of the Pang family, they naturally know the story of the Pang family, but what they don't know is that the ending of the story is so different from what they know.
As far as they knew, the Pang family, who had experienced the war disaster, no longer gathered in one place, but scattered to various places and developed separately. But the fact is that the Pang family moved most of the clansmen to the depths of the mountains and established a Longshou village belonging to their Pang family.
"How many people are there in Longshou Village now?" Pang Shiyuan asked again.
"There were three hundred and twenty-four people in the whole village. If the daughter-in-law of the Zhifeng family gave birth to Shun lĂŹ, it would be three hundred and twenty-five people. "Pang Zhiyang really knows Longshou Village.
"It's all from our Pang family?" Pang Shiyuan asked again.
"Both."
"Then the speed of development is really fast enough!" Pang Shiyuan praised in his mouth, but muttered in his heart, "This is really lifeable!" In modern times, the family planning fine alone could bankrupt the Pang family. Not to mention the establishment of Longshou Village. â
From Pang Zhiyang's mouth, he already knew that after the military disaster that year, the rebuilt Pang family only had more than 30 people. And among these 30 or so people, there are also the elderly and women.
Think about the Pangjia Longshou Village with more than 300 people now, this is a tenfold increase!
"It's a good development. From the generation of your grandfather and uncle to the present, it has only been three generations, and the population of the Pang family has increased nearly tenfold. Pang Zhiyang was very proud, and Pang Shizong was also very excited, happy for the growth of the family.
can come from modern times, and Pang Shiyuan, who has accepted that science and technology is power, and that more people may not be more powerful, and that quality is better than quantity education, but it is difficult for Pang Shiyuan, who really agrees with them.
The reason why modern China cannot become a superpower is because of the pressure of a huge population. When Pang Shiyuan chatted with friends and colleagues, he always lamented why there were so many people in China. As a result, China obviously has the world's largest gross national product, but its income is only at the level of ordinary developed countries.
(This is a parallel world, and the history of China changed heavily in the early twentieth century.) Many things have changed, but the Chinese mindset makes population one of the biggest problems in society. In the future, I will find an opportunity to introduce China in a parallel world. ďź
Therefore, when he heard that his father and brother were proud of the population increase, he could not feel the same way.
Of course, he will not speak out against it.
Pang Zhiyang continued: "Actually, although the village is full of Pang families, half of them are not real Pang families. â
"How?"
"Our Pang family is a family of benevolence, and we have always been generous. In the accumulation of good deeds, we will deliberately collect some orphans with better qualifications and bring them back to Longshou Village. Most of these orphans have no father or mother, and they are lonely, and when they arrive in Longshou Village, they are the people of Longshou Village, and they will be grateful to our Pang family. We will train these orphans in the same way as the children of our Pang family, and when they reach adulthood, we will give them a chance to choose, whether to become the Pang family or go out on their own. Most of the orphans will choose to become members of the Pang family, and only a few will leave on their own. Song Jiahui, who became famous a few years ago, Shiyuan should have an impression, right? Pang Zhiyang was talking, and suddenly talked about the new generation of famous swordsman Song Jiahui.
"Of course there is an impression. Cut off the soul with one sword, it is recognized as a first-class master with great hope of advancing to the day after tomorrow. Pang Shiyuan replied, and then immediately reacted, "Could it be that Song Jiahui is an orphan cultivated by our Pang family?" â
Song Jiahui, a swordsman who has risen strongly in recent years, is famous for his sword drawing technique that can determine victory or defeat with one hand. Since his debut, he has not tasted a defeat, and he has defeated many famous masters, and Pang Shiyuan has also seen it in Daizong's database. And being able to enter the Daizong database shows that Song Jiahui's strength has indeed reached a certain height.
"That's right." Pang Zhiyang was really proud this time, and his right hand couldn't help but stroke his well-groomed beard, "Song Jiahui came out of Longshou Village more than ten years ago. Of course, when Song Jiahui first debuted, his strength was not as strong as it is now, and he had another adventure after he arrived in the rivers and lakes. â
Pang Shiyuan nodded with relief, and said in his heart: "This is normal!" â
If the Pang family can cultivate a powerful swordsman like Song Jiahui, where does the Pang family need to be so hidden, and they don't even dare to blatantly manage their own forces, so they can only go to the mountains to secretly establish villages and develop slowly.
Pang Shizong had a question at this time: "Then why is Song Jiahui's surname Song and not Pang?" â
"This is the rule that was set when Longshou Village was established. When the orphans arrive in Pangjia Village, they all have the surname Pang, and when they become adults, if they want to leave, they can restore their original names. Song Jiahui is his original name. â
"Aren't we at a loss? The masters who were finally cultivated made so much left in vain. Pang Shizong was puzzled.
"Suffering, sometimes it is taking advantage." Pang Zhiyang fell out of a wise quote very stylishly, and then explained, "These orphans are gone, but anyone who has a little conscience knows who raised them and cultivated them." Therefore, although they left, after they had achievements, they would more or less feed back to Longshou Village. Song Jiahui fed back to Pangjia Village with the knife drawing technique that he relied on to become famous. Do you still think that our Pang family is at a loss? â
Pang Shizong stopped talking, but Pang Shiyuan felt that the ancestors of the Pang family back then were really far-sighted, and it was even more rare to be proficient in psychology, or a little black-bellied.
Except for the natural white-eyed wolf, no one will feel at ease after receiving the heavy favor of others. They will always find ways to repay their benefactors in order to have peace of mind.
