Chapter 44: Stupid Birds Fly First

In the deep mountains, Qingshanzhai and Hutouzhai are definitely the two villages with the biggest changes.

The maximum number of residents in Hutou Village exceeded 1,500. Every day, it jingled and beaten, creating weapons and equipment such as tiger-headed guns, tiger-headed cannons, spears, and other weapons for the People's Army.

People in Hutou Village basically know that they are building weapons for rebels. Logically speaking, as long as they are related to rebels, the rebels will fail and die, and they will be implicated, but people in Hutou Village don’t care about this.

On the one hand, the people living in Hutouzhai are all mountain people, and they do not have Ming Dynasty household registration. They fled into the mountains to survive and hate the outside government and landlords very much. They did not dare to rebel before and were afraid of death. Now in this deep mountain, far away from the jurisdiction of the government, even if there are troops entering the mountains, they can escape further.

On the other hand, under the publicity of Fang Nan's team, many people who came to Hutouzhai developed a good impression of Fang Nan's team, recognized the ideas of Fang Nan's team, and were even willing to join Fang Nan's team to work together to overthrow the Ming Dynasty.

This is indispensable for the efforts of the tiger-headed spear and the tiger-headed cannon. Seeing that Fang Nan's team had such powerful weapons, they had the idea that rebellion might succeed.

The original residents of Hutouzhai were also supporting the People's Army in their own way. The blacksmiths who built weapons and equipment were all from the indigenous people of Hutouzhai. After graduation, only a small number of students wanted to join the army or become managers, and more students were more willing to join the arsenal to create better weapons and equipment for the People's Army.

The change in Hutou Village made an indelible contribution to the change of Hutou Village. Basically, Wang Daichui made a decision alone. First, Qingshan Village sent someone to Hutou Village to teach, and then Hutou Village made every effort to build weapons for the People's Army.

Fang Nan thought about the troubles that would happen, but almost no one happened. Fang Nan had already recorded Wang Dachui's contribution. After the initial success of the rebellion, he would not treat this hero unfairly.

Compared with Hutouzhai, the arsenal of the People's Army, Qingshanzhai, the founding place of the People's Army, has undergone a very thorough transformation. All families in Qingshanzhai have become supporters of the People's Army.

In Qingshan Village, except for some old and young people, everyone can recognize all common characters and can use simple arithmetic.

Fang Nan's statement to his elders is very attractive. As long as the rebellion is successful, those who can read and know simple arithmetic can take some official positions suitable for them in the outside world. The official positions may not be very high, but there is no problem in living a life of food and clothing without worries about relying on salary.

The most important thing is that the younger generations in Qingshan Village were pulled into the chariot by Fang Nan through the teacher-student relationship, and the younger parents could only follow him.

In fact, there have always been two ways for Fang Nan’s team to unite other people, one is thought and the other is weapon.

Through ideas, let the people know why they rebel and what they can get after the rebellion. Through weapons, let the people know that the People's Army is not weak and let the people know that as long as they rebel together with the People's Army, there is a great possibility of overthrowing the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, the most important thing is that the Ming Dynasty was too bad for the lower class people and the exploitation was too ruthless. Many ordinary people were about to survive. When other people with ulterior motives were encouraged, it was easy for peasant uprisings to occur.

...

"stand up!"

"Hello teacher!"

"Hello, classmates, please sit down, now we will start class."

In Qingshanzhai School, the students' study life has begun again. In more than six years, the school has now welcomed the third batch of students.

The teachers of the first batch of students six years ago were Fang Nan and Hu Xiaoya, the teachers of the second batch of students three years ago were Zhou Lei and Zhu Qiaomei, and the teachers of the third batch of students are He Bin and Ding Qianqian.

Zhou Lei is the class monitor among the first batch of students, Zhu Qiaomei is Zhou Lei's wife, He Bin and Ding Qianqian are similar in situations, He Bin is the class monitor among the second batch of students, Ding Qianqian is He Bin's fiancée, and Ding Qianqian is also Ding Wei's sister among the students in Fang Nan.

The changes in Qingshanzhai School teachers have almost become a rule, and the same is true in other villages.

"It is called spring and summer, autumn and winter. These four seasons are endless. They are called north and south, west and east. These four directions are in the middle." Standing on the podium, He Bin read out these sentences of "Three Character Classic".

After He Bin finished reading, a group of students in the school said, "It is called spring and summer, autumn and winter. These four seasons have endless luck. They are called north and south, west and east. These four directions are in the middle."

One of the students is Xu Ye, who is a very ordinary member of more than 30 students. He knows that his brain is a little stupid compared to his peers, but while he is studying hard, he is willing to spend more time every day learning the knowledge taught by the teacher today and review the knowledge learned in the past.

On the first day of Xu Ye's school, teacher He Bin asked all the students "Why do you have to go to school?" Xu Ye's answer was like most classmates, and he studied to live a good life outside.

The third group of students are still twelve to fourteen years old. Xu Ye is the youngest of them. Although he is young, Xu Ye’s desire for the outside world is no worse than that of others.

Children like to listen to stories. Before going to school, Xu Ye also likes to listen to stories. In addition to the stories passed down by the elders, the new stories in Qingshan Village were brought by Fang Nan. Xu Ye has basically heard of the stories told by Fang Nan in Qingshan Village.

It is because of these stories that Xu Ye first yearned for a better life in the modern world, and then yearned for the world outside the mountain, wanting to live a life without worrying about food and clothing outside.

Qingshanzhai’s changes were very thorough. Even Xu Ye knew that his teacher was planning a rebellion and wanted to overthrow the Ming Dynasty that ruled the outside world.

Xu Ye didn't understand how powerful the Ming Dynasty was, but Xu Ye also wanted to overthrow the Ming Dynasty in his heart. Xu Ye knew that it was the Ming Dynasty that blocked his way to live a good life. He had to study hard and follow the village leader to overthrow the Ming Dynasty. Only in this way can he live a good life.

If you don’t study hard, you can only stay in Qingshan Village and the fields for the rest of your life. You are busy with your meal every day, so you can only wear ragged clothes. When you are sick, you will have no money to ask the doctor to treat your illness.

Xu Ye wanted to go to the outside world, overthrow the Ming Dynasty, and live a life without worrying about food and clothing, so Xu Ye was studying hard.

He kept the story of "stupid bird flying first" told by the village leader in his heart. He regarded himself as the stupid bird in the story. He knew that he was a bit stupid compared to his peers, but he would not give up. He had to spend more time studying and catch up with his classmates who flew fast.

Among the top half of the students with academic performance, Xu Ye's efforts are effective. Even the teacher He Bin often praises Xu Ye, believing that if Xu Ye continues to work hard, he may be the most accomplished students in the future, so that other students can learn from Xu Ye.
