Chapter 160 The Old People Left Behind

Qingshanzhai, where the main senior leaders of the People's Army were born and raised together, there was no trace of people at this time.

The geographical environment of Qingshanzhai is very good. All the surrounding plains are cultivated into farmland, which is enough for hundreds of families to have enough food. It is a rare and good place in the mountains.

However, it is located in the deep mountains, too far from the outside world, and it is too troublesome to enter and exit the mountains. The people in Qingshan Village not only have to eat a full meal, but also eat salt, wear clothes, and farming. Many of them are not produced by Qingshan Village themselves and must be obtained from places outside Qingshan Village.

No matter what, Qingshanzhai, which has a large area of ​​farmland, is a good place. If ordinary people who don’t have farmland see such a good place, they will definitely move here as soon as possible, but now no one lives in Qingshanzhai.

When Zhang Juzheng was in charge of the government, he once cleared the farmlands in the world. There were 713,976 hectares of farmland in the country, totaling more than 700 million mu, of which there were 32,960 mu of official land in Guangdong.

The People's Army occupied most areas of Guangdong, and adults were divided into four acres of farmland and minors were divided into two acres of farmland. The specific population of Guangdong has not been counted, but the total population is definitely less than 10 million.

The People's Army will distribute land to the people and will give more farmland after joining the army. In this case, the farmland in Guangdong is enough for the People's Army to distribute.

So much so that even if someone knows that Qingshanzhai has many farmlands that everyone cultivates, almost no one will come here to settle down. Unwilling to stay away from his hometown is a factor, Qingshanzhai is located in the deep mountains. Of course, Qingshanzhai is the hometown of the Grand Governor, and it is also a factor.

Fang Nan led his students to form the People's Army and led the People's Army out of the mountains. After one battle after another, he successfully occupied most of the area.

During this period, not only the young people from Qingshanzhai joined the People's Army, but also the middle-aged people joined the People's Army. They basically served as minor officials in a certain county government, and now they may have become middle and lower-level officials in a certain county.

Young people left Qingshan Village, and middle-aged people also left Qingshan Village. Most of them left with their families. Soon, the people living in Qingshan Village became mainly older people.

Those who left Qingshanzhai were worried about leaving their elders in Qingshanzhai. Although the People's Army continued to clear out the bandits and bandits, there were so many forests in Guangdong, and no one could be sure how many bandits and bandits had not been cleared out. Once they discovered Qingshanzhai, it would be a bad thing.

People who left Qingshanzhai wanted to leave with their elders, but the elders lived in Qingshanzhai for too long, and some were unwilling to leave. More importantly, they were unwilling to drag down the younger generations. They would rather stay in Qingshanzhai forever.

The younger generations were persuaded to rule, and this situation changed. In the end, the old people did not leave the mountains, but lived in another place, that is, Hutouzhai.

The sound of iron making noise in Hutouzhai is a bit noisy because of mining and smelting. At least there are enough people. Hu Xiaoya, Zhu Qiaomei and others also live here, and the People's Army guards here, so it is safer to send the elderly here to live here.

In fact, not only the elderly people in Qingshan Village, but also the elderly people in Xinghua Village, Wufang Village and other villages have moved to Hutou Village to live.

Most of the people in Qingshan Village came out of the mountain. Most of the villages such as Xinghua Village and Wufang Village, which were early on, were also joined by Fangnan, and went out of the mountain together. They fought in various places in Guangdong. They were worried that the elderly at home and the elderly were unwilling to come out of the mountain, so they had to send them to Hutou Village.

Due to the terrain, Hutou Village is difficult to accommodate too much population, but as the elderly move here, Hutou Village has to continue to expand even if it cannot be expanded.

However, as the People's Army stabilizes the situation, the people of Hutouzhai will gradually move to the outside world in the future. After all, it is deep in the mountains. It is too troublesome to enter and exit the mountains. Soon the People's Army will not need the small iron ore on Hutouzhai to continue mining.

When you approach Hutou Village, the familiar sound of ironwork made many people miss it. When you walk into Hutou Village, you can see many older people sitting around, talking and laughing together.

The elderly like to listen to stories the most, and the stories of the People's Army winning battles. The elderly who have been living in the mountains do not know what Huizhou Prefecture or what Guangzhou City they do. They are very happy to hear that the People's Army continues to defeat the Ming army and continues to occupy more cities.

Rebellion requires beheading. The elderly all know this. When the younger generation wanted to rebel, the elderly were unwilling to do so. Time passed slowly. The elderly recognized the actions of the younger generation, but the elderly were still afraid.

The old people don’t know how powerful the Ming court is. In their hearts, the Ming court is invincible. The old people are afraid that the younger generation will be defeated by the Ming army. It doesn’t matter if they are implicated and killed. The elderly hope that the younger generation can survive well.

When the news of the People's Army winning the battle was heard, the news of the victory was sent back, and the worries and fears in the old people's hearts were slowly disappearing.

When an old man was dying, he seemed to have seen the scene where the People's Army overthrew the Ming Dynasty and killed the dog emperor and let the people all over the world live a good life. He closed his eyes forever with a smile.

An old man who has never seen an emperor or even a high-ranking official in his life, perhaps in his mind, the emperor is like those landlords.

The old people are all looking forward to the People's Army continuing to win battles, looking forward to the People's Army overthrowing the Ming Dynasty, their sons and grandsons can become high-ranking officials and glorify their ancestors.

In fact, the elderly are very selfish. Most people think in their hearts that they can live a good life, and it has nothing to do with others who can’t live a good life.

Of course, this kind of selfishness is normal for ordinary people, and no one can expect an ordinary person to become a saint.

In the old man's words, Fang Nan, the general, was the object of the most talked about. Fang Nan was very young and was only twenty-one years old this year, but in the old man's words, he respected Fang Nan very much.

Some people say that Fang Nan is an immortal who descended to earth and brought them poor people to live a good life. Some people say that they have seen Fang Nan's various strange performances, especially those old people in Qingshan Village, who can make a lot of contributions in this topic.

Although the People's Army has not overthrew the Ming Dynasty, in the hearts of the old people, they believed that under Fang Nan's leadership, the People's Army would overthrow the Ming Dynasty. They said that this thanks to Fang Nan's words, even if Fang Nan could not see or hear them.

They often pray to God, hoping that God will bless Fang Nan without any disasters and difficulties to live a hundred years.

If Fang Nan heard this, he didn't know what expression he should have. Is it difficult to live a hundred years old?
