Chapter 30903092【Preparation for a rainy day】
In the second year of the 25th year, two more things happened in Bailu Village.
First, Bai Ling was clamoring to go to a new school in the provincial capital. It turned out that she had read the article written by Lu Zhaopeng and thought it was very good. She wanted to go to the provincial capital and go to a new school instead of listening to Mr. Xu''s nonsense.
?Bai Jiaxuan originally didn’t want to agree.
After all, after the people from the original area went out, very few had a good ending.
?When Bai Shitou went out, his wife and children were separated, and his family was destroyed; when Lu Zhaopeng went out, he was disobedient and unfilial, and his family tradition was ruined...
Therefore, he didn''t even dare to let Bai Xiaowen and Bai Xiaowu out, lest they learn bad things outside.
And since Bai Ling is a girl, she is even more afraid to let her out.
Otherwise, what will happen if you learn something bad?
?Just like the eldest daughter of Lu San''s family, she studied in Xinshi School for several years and made everyone obsessed with reading. The day before the wedding, he ran away from home and eloped with someone, which completely disgraced his family.
Therefore, he did not want to let his daughter go out in case she really became a bad student.
?However, Bai Ling insisted on going. He even took it upon himself to cut off all his braids, and even put the scissors across his neck.
?Tell Bai Jiaxuan that if she stops her from going to the city to study again, she will stab herself to death on the spot.
??Bai Jiaxuan was dumbfounded when he saw this.
?At that moment, it seemed that he was not facing the good daughter he had carried around his neck in the past, but an enemy with whom he had a life-and-death hatred.
?Therefore, Bai Jiaxuan had no choice but to send his daughter to study in the city.
Before leaving, Bai Ling kowtowed to her grandmother, father, mother and brother.
…
Second, when winter came, Tian Fuxian found someone to build a primary school on Bailuyuan.
After the school is built, all the students taught are new things, and they are no longer the same ones. Confucius said in a poem.
Furthermore, the primary school is very large, with several rooms and can accommodate hundreds of students.
Therefore, after it is completed, children from a dozen miles around can come here to study without being overcrowded.
?Compared to the self-built private schools in Bailu Village, Shenhe Village and other villages, it is much better.
Tian Fuxian also announced that his nephew will take over as the principal of the primary school. When the time comes, let the villagers send their children to the new school.
…
Other than these two things, life in Yuan Shang was as peaceful as before.
?However, Xiang Nan knew that such peaceful days would not last long.
??The reason why life in Bailuyuan can still be like a pool of stagnant water without even making a splash, and still lead the same life as it did hundreds of years ago, is mainly because the warlords are now fighting, and everyone is busy fighting for territory.
?The struggle for power is concentrated in the middle and upper levels, and their control over the grassroots is relatively weak, so they can''t afford to worry about it in Bailuyuan.
But the warlord war ended in two years. At that time, the imperial court''s control over the grassroots will be strengthened, and the exploitation of the people at the bottom will no longer be increased.
??Nowadays, the people in Bailuyuan have to pay public grain and taxes, but there is still a limit. After all, there is not enough control at the grassroots level, and it is impossible to collect more taxes.
Just like the peasant uprising that broke out in 1912. The county magistrate could not suppress public opinion and had no choice but to give in.
But once grassroots control is strengthened, the people will not be able to bear it when the court starts collecting money and food.
In the book, by the year 27, Tian Fuxian''s subordinates had organized a militia group of more than 20 people.
?Such a force is enough to subdue the unarmed people in Bailuyuan. Therefore, when he began to collect grain and recruit men, the people were unable to resist.
What''s more, when the Zhensong Army surrounded the city of Xi''an, there were also ruffians who beat, smashed, looted, burned, raped and plundered on the plains.
So Xiang Nan sent people to build a house in Zhongnan Mountain in order to avoid trouble and take precautions.
??Bailuyuan is very close to Zhongnan Mountain, only a hundred miles away.
Xiang Nan once lived in seclusion in Zhongnan Mountain in the world of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". He is still very familiar with and emotional about this mountain.
He planned to build a villa there to avoid the coming disaster of war.
?Although Xiang Nan is extremely skilled in martial arts, even if an organized army comes to attack him with cannons, he can still escape, and may even fight back to kill him.
But Tian Xiao''e, Zhang Ziqing and others are just ordinary people and have no ability to protect themselves. And they are so beautiful, so they are more likely to be targeted by those soldiers.
It is said that the tree wants to be still but the wind does not stop. Even if Xiang Nan can kill ten, twenty, or thirty soldiers, he will still have to run away when the army comes to the border.
?And running away with Tian Xiao''e and Zhang Ziqing is almost like swimming in heavy armor. It is basically asking for death.
Therefore, instead of digging a well when thirsty, it is better to prepare for a rainy day.
?Build a villa in Zhongnan Mountain, hide in it when something happens, and come out when nothing happens. This can avoid many disasters.
?The practice of going into the mountains to avoid disaster is not surprising in Bailu Village.
??When the plague broke out in Bailu Village, Bai Jiaxuan also asked Bai Xiaowu to take his wife to hide in the mountains. When there was a famine in the mountains, they would go to the mountains to exchange food with the mountain people.
…
After winter, Xiang Nan asked people to build a house in Zhongnan Mountain.
The house was not big, with only five rooms.
It’s a little crowded for living, but it’s perfect for shelter.
?While the house was being built, Xiang Nan also arranged a formation outside the house using boulders, trees, thorns, vines, etc.
After the house was built, he officially completed the formation and hid all five houses in the formation.
?In this way, no one can break in without the leadership of someone who is familiar with the formation.
This way we can ensure that everything is safe and sound.
Otherwise, when war breaks out, people will flee into the mountains one after another. When the time comes, when you come to the door, it won''t matter whether you accept someone or not.
What''s even more troublesome is that if soldiers and gangsters come here, they will really open the door to the thieves, and disaster will never come singly.
Therefore, defenses must be well prepared.
In addition, Xiang Nan also stocked a large amount of grain, firewood, standing medicines, daily necessities, etc. in the house, which was enough to meet the living needs of seven people for a year.
In November, after the house was built, Xiang Nan kept making reserves.
And he also told the villagers of Bailu Village and the believers who came to Laozu Temple to burn incense about the war.
"Next April, war will strike. The city of Xi''an will be besieged. There will be no water or food, and the fields will be filled with casualties. Everyone must make preparations in advance." He told everyone, "Bring all the relatives in the city back, and bring back all the people at home." Hide the food in the mountains and hide the women so that no one will disturb them..."
Zhensong Army attacked the city of Xi''an and besieged it for eight months. They cut off water and food. The people of Xi''an died in countless battles, starved to death, and died of the plague. Their corpses were piled up into a hill. The stench persisted for months, and maggots crawled all over the city, and they would be eaten if not careful.
Such a tragedy can be described as **** on earth, so it is only one person who can save one person.
