Chapter 3090 3092【Prepare for a rainy day】
Entering 2025, two more incidents occurred in Bailu Village.
One, Bai Ling clamored to go to the new school in the provincial capital. It turned out that she had read the articles written by Lu Zhaopeng and thought they were excellent. She wanted to go to the provincial capital and a new-style school instead of listening to Mr. Xu's words and poems.
Bai Jiaxuan didn't want to agree.
After all, after the original people go out, there are too few people who end well.
Bai Shitou went out, his wife and children were separated, and his family was destroyed; Lu Zhaopeng went out, disobedient and unfilial, and ruined the family tradition...
So he didn't even dare to release Bai Xiaowen and Bai Xiaowu, lest they learn badly outside.
As Bai Ling is a girl, she dared not let her out.
Otherwise, what can I do if I fail to learn.
Just like the eldest daughter of Lu San’s family, she just studied in a new school for several years, which stunned everyone. The day before the wedding, he ran away from home, eloped with someone, and lost all face of his family.
Therefore, he didn't want to let his daughter out, lest she really learn badly.
However, Bai Ling insisted on going. He also made up his own mind and 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 what he was facing was not the good daughter who ran around on his neck in the past, but an enemy with whom he had a life-and-death enmity.
So Bai Jiaxuan had no choice but to stop her, so he had to send his daughter to the city to study.
Before leaving, Bai Ling kowtowed to his grandmother, father, mother, and brother.
…
Secondly, when winter came, Tian Fuxian found someone to build a primary school on Bailuyuan.
After the school is built, all the teaching is new, and it is no longer the only one. Zi said Shiyun.
Moreover, the scale of the primary school is very large, and there are several houses, which can accommodate hundreds of students.
Therefore, after the construction is completed, children in a radius of more than ten miles can come here to study without being overcrowded.
Compared with the self-built private schools in Bailu Village, Shenhe Village and other villages, it is much stronger.
Tian Fuxian also announced that his nephew will take over as the primary school principal. At that time, let the villagers send their children to the new school to study.
…
Apart from these two things, Yuan Shang's life was still as peaceful as before.
But Xiang Nan knew that such peaceful days would not last long.
The reason why the life on Bailuyuan is still like a pool of stagnant water, without any waves splashing, and still living the same life as it was 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 upper middle class, and the control over the grassroots is relatively weak, so they don't care about tossing around in Bailuyuan.
But the melee between the warlords will end 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 be intensified.
Nowadays, the people in Bailuyuan have to pay public grain and taxes, but there is always a limit. After all, grassroots control is not enough, even if you want to collect more taxes, you can't do it.
It was like the peasant uprising that broke out in 1912. The county magistrate couldn't suppress public opinion, so he had no choice but to back down.
But after the control at the grassroots level is strengthened, the people will not be able to stand it if the imperial court collects money and food again.
Such a force is enough to subdue the unarmed people in Bailuyuan.
Therefore, when he began to levy food and recruit young men, the people were powerless to resist.
What's more, when the Zhensong Army surrounded Xi'an City, there were also soldiers who beat, smashed, looted, burned, raped and looted on the plain.
So in order to avoid accidents, Xiang Nan took precautions and sent people to build a house in Zhongnan Mountain.
Bailuyuan is very close to Zhongnan Mountain, only a hundred miles away.
Xiang Nan lived in seclusion in Zhongnan Mountain in the world of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". He is still very familiar with and has a lot of affection for this mountain.
He is going to build a villa there to avoid the coming war disaster.
Although Xiang Nan's martial arts skills are world-class, even if an established army comes to attack him with cannons, he can escape, and may even fight back.
But Tian Xiaoe, Zhang Ziqing, etc. are just ordinary people, without the slightest ability to protect themselves. And they are so beautiful, so they are more likely to be targeted by those soldiers.
The so-called tree wants to be still but the wind does not stop. Even if Xiang Nan could kill ten, twenty, or thirty soldiers, he would still have to run away when the army overwhelmed the border.
Running with Tian Xiaoe and Zhang Ziqing is almost like swimming in heavy armor.
Therefore, instead of digging a well when you are thirsty, it is better to plan for a rainy day.
Build a villa in Zhongnan Mountain, hide in when there is something to do, and come out when there is nothing to do. This will prevent 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 hide in the mountains with his wife. When there was a famine on the plain, they also went 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 built is not big, only five rooms.
It is a bit crowded for living, but it is perfect for taking refuge.
While the house was being built, Xiang Nan also arranged formations outside the house with boulders, trees, thorns, vines, etc.
After the house was built, he officially completed the formation, hiding all five houses in the formation.
In this way, no one can break in without the guidance of someone who is familiar with the formation.
Only in this way can we ensure that nothing will happen.
Otherwise, when the war broke out, the people would flee to the mountains one after another. At that time, when you come to the door, it's not okay to take him in, and it's not right not to take him in.
What's more troublesome is that if soldiers and ruffians also come here, they will really open the door and steal, and misfortunes never come singly.
Therefore, it is necessary to do a good job of fortifications.
In addition, Xiang Nan also hoarded a large amount of food, firewood, standing medicines, daily necessities, etc. in the house, 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 also told the news of the war to the villagers of Bailu Village, as well as the believers who came to the Ancestral Temple to burn incense.
"In April next year, the war will strike, and the city of Xi'an will be besieged. There will be no water and food, and there will be many casualties. Everyone must prepare early." He said to everyone, "Bring back all the relatives in the city, and bring back all the relatives at home. All the food is hidden on the mountain, and the female relatives are hidden so that they will not be disturbed by others..."
The Zhen Song army attacked Xi'an City and surrounded it for eight months, without water and food. The people in Xi'an City died in battle, starved to death, and died of plague. The stench lingered for several months, and maggots crawled all over the city, and they would be eaten by accident.
Such a tragedy can be described as **** on earth, so it is only one person who can save one person.
