14 Li Tianyang's ambition
Wealth and longevity, as Li Tianyang's follower, has been taught by Li Tianyang since he was a child, to be born and die for him, and resist every sword soldier that endangers his safety. Although this was just a joke made by Li Tianyang to them, it was put in the hearts of the two of them and remembered it firmly. From childhood to adulthood, Li Tianyang has never treated the two of them badly, and has taken good care of their families. With delicious food, Li Tianyang will always give them half of it, and if there is a difficulty, they don't need to open their mouths, Li Tianyang will help them solve it.
In the eyes of the two of them, Li Tianyang is not only their master, but also their relatives and younger brothers. So the two of them have always believed in what Li Tianyang said, although this guy Changsheng always chatters with Li Tianyang, in fact, they will always complete the tasks assigned by Li Tianyang beautifully. Every time they trained, they also worked hard to exercise, for fear that they would be lazy now and would not be able to help Li Tianyang block danger in the future. Even Li Tianyang's request for the two of them to lead a team was sternly rejected by them, and they even hoped to be by Li Tianyang's side and protect him from being threatened by others.
Therefore, there is this fixed combination of theirs, and there are two followers who follow closely behind Li Tianyang.
Half an hour, slow to say, fast is a blink of an eye, for a group of teenagers who have long been accustomed to this kind of training, it is just a game, if you don't look at the occasional bruises on the bare bodies of a group of teenagers.
"Assemble!!" With the beating of the drum, everyone knows that today's morning training time is here again, and after breakfast, it will be a headache for many years.
"Disband!" Guan Juxiong gave an order.
"Kill!!" The teenagers roared in anger.
First, I went to the basin and rinsed the water from the well, and after changing into clean clothes, everyone went to the direction of the cafeteria.
Today's food is still the same, porridge made of broken rice, a plate of pickled vegetables and a salted egg. This standard is much better than the breakfast of most people in the village, and for this kind of food, the villagers are willing to stuff their children into Li Tianyang's team. In the cafeteria, in addition to the teenagers queuing up for dinner and the girls preparing breakfast, there are many more young children.
These are the children of the villagers who Li Tianyang took in, and every morning when breakfast was distributed, they rushed from their homes to eat, and then followed the teenagers to read and write together, exercise labor, and like Li Tianyang and their team in the early days, they exchanged labor for three meals a day and learned all kinds of knowledge. And Li Tianyang's workshop just needs a lot of people to help. In the evening, after dinner, the children would disperse and return to their families.
Fortunately, there is no law for the protection of minors in this era, otherwise Li Tianyang, the exploiting class, would definitely be sent to prison to be reformed. But it was precisely because it was in the Ming Dynasty that Li Tianyang's approach helped these families and children.
If Li Tianyang doesn't take in these children, then what can they do in the village all day long? herding cattle, helping to feed the family's livestock, and even more so, helping the family, carrying some of their courage, working in the fields, and working hard; Occasionally, when the peasants are idle, they gather a group of half-grown boys, make trouble in the village everywhere, do nothing, and in the end, become like their parents, ignorant and ignorant, and rely on God's face to live a good life all day long.
This is what Li Tianyang does not want to see, and it is also something that he is trying to change. Maybe before, he didn't have enough ability to help everyone, so he could only do his best to change the fate of the dozens of teenagers and girls around him; But now, he has enough ability to help more villagers change their future, and he is certainly willing and obligated to do something to help the villagers without endangering him and his companions.
He was never a saint, but he was never a truly selfish person either. Since he is fortunate or unfortunate to have crossed into this era, he always wants to do something and leave something, so as to live up to the opportunity he has crossed. He is not the kind of person who is ambitious and talented, and he set great ambitions such as conquering the continent and changing the common people from the beginning; He knows what he is capable of, and even if he exhausts his life, it is something that may not be able to be achieved.
So he is down-to-earth, moving forward step by step, and doing as much as he can. He liked a foreign fable he had seen at the beginning: a nail was lost, a farrier was broken; broke a farrier and broke a warhorse; broke a war horse and wounded a knight; got on a knight and lost a battle; Lost a war, lost an empire. And he is more willing to be honest, doing the lost nail and bringing some small changes to the people around him.
Although now, Li Tianyang is close to the money, helping the villagers in the village to raise their children. But in the long run, in fact, Li Tianyang is not a loss, these children who have been educated and trained, when they are old enough, will also join Li Tianyang's team. And the education and training they receive now will be the source of their wealth for Li Tianyang and their team in the future. With the addition of such a continuous force, Li Tianyang's team can be fundamentally expanded, and their industry can continue to develop.
Today, Li Tianyang has taken in more than 200 teenagers and girls over the age of seven and under fifteen, and it can be regarded as a loot of the children of this age in the village, and only a very small number of families with good family conditions and extremely difficult families will not throw their children into Li Tianyang's camp. People with good conditions are reluctant to throw their children in, many of them are worried that their children will suffer here, after all, in the camp, everyone has to work, and not the adults are willing to let their children suffer.
And those with poor conditions are not willing to throw their children in? At the beginning, Li Tianyang was a little surprised.
It wasn't until he took people quietly to people's homes to observe that he knew that they were also forced by life. Although the child is also small, in some families, such a child can be regarded as a rare labor force. As mentioned earlier, many families in the village were displaced people who moved here, and they finally survived at the beginning, and with the help of Li De and them, they opened a pit for more than ten acres of wasteland. In order to take care of these lands, people who are obviously short of labor, one person is two people, and the whole family's energy is on these dozen acres of land, and they wish all their time was spent on it.
But the problem is that in addition to labor, everyone also spends a lot of energy on such trivial tasks as cooking, laundry, and feeding poultry and livestock. There is already a shortage of labor, and even the cultivated land cannot be managed, and who wants to spend their energy and time on this. You know, if there is no output of these lands, then everyone in the future will be starving! Therefore, there is no choice but to let these young children do these trivial and incurring tasks.
Can you imagine the scene of a child who is only seven or eight years old, standing not necessarily a few points taller than the stove, with a snot and standing on a stool to cook and stir-fry? But this is what a real rural family has experienced.
