Prosperity, the people suffer, the people suffer, the people suffer.

Now it is the prosperous period of the Ming Dynasty, but many ordinary people still have not lived a good life. For example, in the wealthiest Jiangnan area of ​​the Ming Dynasty, more than 90% of the farmers in many places are tenants and rely on renting land owners to make a living.

The people were oppressed and exploited by the landlord class. When they could not live, a small number of people chose to rebel, while more people chose to escape from their homes where they had lived for decades, just like the first generation of Qingshanzhai, who escaped into the mountains.

In the modern world, there are various speculations about the population in the Ming Dynasty. For example, during the Wanli period, some people thought that it reached 80 million, some people thought that it was about 100 million, and some even thought that it exceeded 1.5 billion.

When Fang Nan came to this era, he personally felt that the population of the Ming Dynasty would definitely exceed 100 million. There were already a large number of people who could be counted with household registration in the outside world, and there were also many mountain people who fled into the mountains and could not be counted.

Mountain people are the names outside the world for people who live in the deep mountains without household registration. Guangdong has many mountains and forests, and the forests of Yong'an County, Huizhou Prefecture alone are not just Qingshanzhai, a residential place for mountain people.

Living in the deep mountains, hunters will basically appear in every village. Although the villages are a little far apart, hunters will always accidentally discover traces of people from other villages over the years and decades.

Everyone is a mountain citizen. Similar experiences allow villages to get along well with each other, and transactions will be conducted between villages.

Qingshanzhai is lucky. He can find such a good place to live. Most other villages have few farmland. Qingshanzhai is familiar with Xinghua Village, and Hutou Village is good at weaving cloth. Hutou Village is close to iron ore and is good at shaping iron. Qingshanzhai has more farmland and more grain production, so he takes out excess grain and Xinghua Village for cloth and Hutou Village for various iron tools.

Several or even a dozen villages form a circle to help each other survive in the deep mountains. However, there are also some necessities that cannot be obtained in the deep mountains, such as salt, which can be obtained from the outside world.

It is also a very interesting thing. Qingshanzhai implements public ownership, and most other villages also implement public ownership. The content is somewhat different, but the farmland is shared.

...

Fang Nan and his group were walking in the farmland, and the fast-running students had already arrived at their parents and helped them work.

The people in Qingshan Village are talking and laughing while working. Children who are studying and literate come over to help with their work, so the adults naturally have to ask.

"Erwa, aren't you reading and literacy? Why are you here?" Erwa's father asked.

Erwa replied: "The teacher said that the coursework this morning is over."

"The schoolwork is over. What have you learned Erwa? How many words have you known?" A man in his twenties asked curiously next to Erwa's father.

Erwa: "Today the teacher did not teach us how to read and read. The teacher told us why we should read and read. Then he told us a story to let us understand that we should respect the teacher."

"Erwa, do you know why you want to study?"

Erwa: "I know, the teacher said that reading and literacy can lead a good life outside the mountain. I have a big house to live in, all kinds of delicious food, and beautiful clothes to wear."

When the adults around him heard Erwa's words, their expressions were different.

Younger people don’t know the importance of household registration, and their eyes looked at Erwa were full of envy. They also wanted to live a good life outside the mountain, live in a big house, eat delicious food, and wear beautiful clothes. Unfortunately, they did not become students in Fangnan and could not read and read.

Older people know the importance of household registration. They are mountain people. Even if they can read and read, and have no household registration, they cannot live outside. However, they have not said this to avoid discouraging their children's interest in studying.

Knowledge can be passed down from generation to generation. Even if it is not useful now, their descendants will always use it. Aren’t those myths and legends passed down from generation to generation.

After reading and literacy, someone asked Erwa: "Erwa, what is the story your teacher tells? Tell us."

"Yes, yes." Several people around echoed.

Erwa naturally had to listen to the elders' words, so he spoke: "The story the teacher told is called 'Chengmen Lixue', which tells a high-ranking official hundreds of years ago..."

The incident on Erwa's side happened in various areas of the farmland. Adults were curious about what the children learned in class, and the children were honestly answering the adults' questions.

When it comes to "respect teachers", Fang Nan's student was only 15 years old and had less knowledge than adults. Adults can better understand the meaning of the words "a teacher for one day and a father for life."

At the beginning, there were no carpenters in Qingshan Village, but some people like carpenters. They study their skills for a while and improve their skills, and become recognized carpenters. The carpenters will accept a few disciples and teach them carpenters. The disciples treat the carpenter master very respectfully, just like their own fathers.

Carpenters teach carpenter work, while Fang Nan teaches reading and literacy. Both teach one skill, which is essentially the same.

"Yes, Muzi, you are older than the teacher, but the teacher teaches you to read and read, you must respect the teacher."

"Son, if you don't respect the teacher, I will give you a discount."

"Big Niu, you will do whatever the teacher says in the future."

With such a short time, the students didn’t have much thought of respecting Fang Nan in their hearts. After all, in the past few years, everyone had been with the same generation and even had a fight together, and could not adapt to the sudden change of status.

Nowadays, adults must respect teachers themselves, and they naturally have to obey the elders' words. They have a little more respect for Teacher Fang Nan in their hearts.

Several adults even wondered whether their children would kowtow to Fang Nan. When the carpenter accepted the disciples, the disciples would kowtow to become disciples. However, after thinking about Fang Nan's age, they still let go of the matter.

Anyway, Fang Nan did not ask for it, and they would not take the initiative to propose it. Fang Nan is still a junior to them, and letting his children kowtow to Fang Nan as a junior, it feels awkward to think about it.

At this time, the adults ignored the identity of the leader of Fang Nan, or no one cared about the identity of the leader. Qingshan Village mainly ranks the top and bottom according to seniority. The matters of Qingshan Village are mainly determined by the people with the largest seniority.

Fang Nan walked over and heard the conversation between his students and elders. Unconsciously, Fang Nan smiled a little more on his face.
