Chapter 41 The Lin Family

In the Lin family, there is an ordinary village in Yong'an County, living next to a mountain. Most of the more than 100 families with Lin surnames are poor families. Two-thirds of the families do not have their own fields. The remaining one-third of the families with fields have no more than five families who can farm and live on their own. They can only rent land to farm and barely live on.

The landlords who rented the land to the residents of the Lin family were also smart people. The "rental" of the land was very high and almost reached the limit of being able to be squeezed. The remaining food for the farmer could barely let his family live. Life was harder, and at least he could survive.

People in the Lin family are not satisfied with their current life, but are unwilling to make changes easily. Rebellion is a serious crime of beheading, and escaping into the mountains may lead to starvation to death.

Day after day, year after year, the people in the Lin family struggled to survive on this land.

Everyone says that reading is good. If a person who can read and read at home will change the fate of the family. It is not a problem to eat and wear well. People in the Lin family also know this truth.

However, the people in the Lin family also knew that the cost of reading and literacy was too high. They just barely had enough food. They didn't even have money to see a doctor when they were sick. The cost of providing a child with a reading and literacy was even higher. It was not affordable by small farmers or even tenants.

Sometimes people in the Lin family are also thinking: "It would be great if we had a scholar or even a high-ranking official. As long as we support other families, we don't need to live this poor life."

This kind of words is just thinking about it. They all know that it is too difficult to achieve this. Even if everyone in the whole family pays money to a child for his study and literacy, they cannot afford it.

Even if they can afford it, it is a big problem for whom children can read and read. Most of them have the surname Lin, which does not mean that they are really very united.

However, on this day, luck suddenly came to the Lin family. Two poor scholars came to the Lin family and told everyone that they were willing to teach the Lin family's children to read and read, and they only needed to provide two people's residence and food.

Knowledge changes destiny. In the past, they had no chance to let their children read and read, and change their fate of farming. Now the opportunity has come.

A family cannot afford to hire two poor scholars. If everyone in the Lin family gritted their teeth and hunger for a few meals, the food they took out was enough to make the two scholars have enough food, and the two scholars were willing to accept all children of appropriate age as students, even girls would do it.

This is a big event. The village chief invited the only remaining older generation in the Lin family and summoned everyone in the Lin family to discuss the matter of asking two poor scholars to teach the Lin family's children to read and read.

The opportunity to change one's destiny is right in front of you. Most of you agree with this matter, and a small number of people temporarily disagree, mainly because they do not have children of appropriate age.

However, the remaining people quickly agreed. They thought that it was impossible for the two scholars to teach one group of students. Even if they did not teach the next group of students, two of the finished students could come out to teach the youngest children of the Lin family to read and read.

The people in the Lin family agreed to teach here, and Du Zhan and He Quan smiled. Their mission to come to the Lin family has been initially successful.

Du Zhan and He Quan are children of Xinghua Village in the Deep Mountains and are also members of Fang Nan’s team. They are only eighteen years old this year.

In order to overturn the dream of the Ming Dynasty, Du Zhan and He Quan formed a group and took the initiative to apply for the task of uniting the poor people from the outside world.

The task of uniting poor people has been expanded. It can be carried out in other villages in the mountains or in villages outside. The outside world is so big that even if Fang Nan sends all members of his team out, it is far from enough. As long as he is a boy, he is old enough and willing to go to the outside world to perform tasks, it is easy to apply for it.

So Du Zhan and He Quan came to Lin’s house near the mountains.

Before Du Zhan and He Quan, more than ten groups of people had successfully worked as teachers in other villages. For the poor people living outside, they deeply understand similar words such as "reading changes destiny". If you want to live a life of full and warm clothing, reading and literacy are the first way they can think of.

If you want to live a good life, it is not just about studying and literacy. However, if you want to be a local owner, you don’t have the money to buy land, you want to learn crafts but no one teaches you, you don’t have the qualifications to join the army, or you don’t dare to join the army and fear death.

On the contrary, after hundreds of years of publicity, reading and literacy is the best way to become a superior person, and even poor people know it.

Du Zhan and He are both eighteen years old and look like poor scholars. After coming to Lin's house to tell their identity as a "scholar", both of the people in the Lin family respect each other, even older people are no exception. When the people in the Lin family are discussing things, they are also invited to the side, with delicious food and drink.

Opportunities are hard-won. People in the Lin family are afraid that they will be bad to the two scholars, so they will leave and lose this hard-won opportunity. They will be in tears at that time.

In the name of teaching, Du Zhan, He Quan and other members of the Fangnan team successfully settled in various villages. Although "teaching" is the name, everyone who teaches has to carry out the teachings well. Even if they only teach for two years, they can teach a group of students who can read, literate and arithmetic. At the worst, there is no problem to be a minor official.

Teaching is just the first task. The most important task of Du Zhan and He Quan coming to the Lin family is to unite the more than 100 families and hundreds of people in the Lin family, so that the people in the Lin family understand that the best way to live a good life is to overthrow the Ming Dynasty.

It is impossible for the people in the Lin family to overthrow the Ming Dynasty by themselves. There are only more than a hundred families, but they are not opponents of the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty sent a team of 100 people to easily destroy the Lin family.

The Lin family was not strong enough, but they could rebel with the leader of Fangnan. The leader of Fangnan would unite the poor people all over the world. As long as the Ming Dynasty was overthrown, everyone would be able to obtain their own land and no longer need to rent land for landlords. As long as they cultivate their own land, they would be able to make the family eat and wear warmth.

If you are willing to join the army and fight with the leader of Fangnan, families with personnel joining the army will receive certain tax exemptions. If you make meritorious service on the battlefield, you can also obtain more land and the whole family can live a prosperous life.
