Chapter 100057 The Next World
I wanted to scold her, but I didn't dare to squeak because she could guess what was in my heart and even understand what I was going to say.
Although the surroundings are gloomy, but because of this woman, I feel a lot more stable. In this big environment, seeing that she hasn't changed anymore, my heart is finally a little more stable.
You must know that although I can't experience the events of that year, I have heard countless fragments. It is said that we are a land of fish and rice, but in fact, the situation is not much better.
At that time, the government was incompetent and oppressive at the local level, and it was undoubtedly the common people who were to blame. It is almost impossible for people to have overnight surplus food in their homes, and many families even need half a year's food ration. Even Xiangchu, which is rich in grain, has seen the phenomenon of selling sons and daughters.
So under the circumstances at that time, even the most wooden villagers knew how to go out to seek a way to survive. Coupled with the communication between some neighbors, everyone naturally tried their best to make a living!
However, there is no similarity in the world, and this situation has occurred in Hunan and Chu, which are good at fish and rice, and the situation in other parts of the country can be imagined.
Even in the face of the predicament of Xiangchu, many people from all over the country still poured into Xiangchu, hoping to save their lives here. What was the final predicament of that year, history later came to its own conclusion, but this kind of big turmoil momentum naturally also greatly affected this small mountain village, and I have heard the old man talk about these reasons countless times.
Although the promotion hall belongs to a relatively remote mountain village, because there are several leading figures in the village, with the efforts of their conscience, not only are there few incidents of people starving to death, but even rumors from the outside are only occasionally transmitted into the village.
Although there were many joys and sorrows, and even many strong men in the village were conscripted into the army, the overall situation was still pleasant. At that time, my ancestral family was relatively large, so it was natural for me to belong to a better family in the village.
Especially when there were some riots in the surrounding villages, there was a piece of good news from the promotion hall.
This good news is not a day or two, it has been spread in the village for a while, and it is said that a road will be repaired to the village soon. At first, everyone thought it was just a rumor, and even some clan elders in the village went to negotiate, but no one dared to come back and say anything, because this was a matter that the government came forward to have news.
"I don't really know who I am anymore, but I remember someone! His name is Tang Zuyou, have you heard of it? The woman seemed to look down in contemplation, as if she were detached, but when she looked up, she changed again, and became like this.
"Tang Zuyou, Tang Zuyou?" My mind was confused for a while, the villagers generally call the local name and the common name, and few people know the full name. It's like Niu Lao Lingpo, no one must know the name, and people like Tang Batian are just a special case.
But as I kept chattering, I suddenly felt a little familiar, and suddenly I thought of it, because Gao Yantang didn't have a person named Tang Zurao, I don't know if he has anything to do with this Tang Zuyou?
"I don't remember either,,,,,, I don't remember what day it was, but it seems like he ignored me,,,,,, no, no, it's not that he ignored me,,,,,,!" Her mouth was babbling, and her voice was ethereal, as if she didn't belong to this world.
Of course, I naturally don't know, if I want to say that I am familiar with this name, it is because I have seen this Tang Zuyou's uncle Tang Daxing. Because he and Luo Ran are friends, and he has also studied the formation with Luo Ran, he belongs to the first person in the study of formation in the promotion hall.
This Tang Zuyou is not only Gao Yantang's loser, but also followed his father Tang Dazi to Guangxi when he was a teenager, and he broke into the rivers and lakes at a young age.
The eldest brother of Tang Da Province is also a figure in Guangxi, and Tang Dazi is doing business in Guangxi, so I heard that he is also a very faceable figure. Tang Zuyou has a talent for business since he was a child, and he is very popular on the scene because he is well-informed.
But it is said that later he was in contact with a regimental deputy of the Gui army, and when they saw that the Tang family had an industry and family background, they thought about Tang Zuyou. Where would Tang Zuyou usually pay attention to these, but he actually learned to smoke big cigarettes and play pai gow.
These two things are the most taboo in the township, not to mention Tang Dazi, who has a thin family property.
Because he was afraid that his son was young and would not be able to end up in Guangxi, he went to consult his fellow villagers who also did business in Guangxi. Everyone gave Tang Dazi advice, so he took back all the business and work in Tang Zuyou's hands, and Tang Zuyou was finally driven back from Guizhou to carry forward the church.
But even if Tang Zuyou is like this, everyone knows that he has seen the world, and they still have some admiration for his words. So when I heard that he had come back to carry forward the hall, some people from the surrounding towns and villages quickly gathered around him.
No matter what Tang Zuyou is like personally, the world he brings is naturally not comparable to the villagers. One of those incidents later caused a sensation around.
That is, it is said that the official road will be changed to carry forward the hall, although I don't know the truth of the matter at the time, but if there is a big road through the promotion hall, this is undoubtedly the most glorious thing for the ancestors!
When the villagers heard the news, although they were not sure, the news alone was already joyful.
Because this propagation hall belongs to the small county of Xiangdong, although the small county is not big, there was also a very famous official road, which was still widened in the last years of the previous dynasty. At that time, on this official road, there was the largest rice merchant in Xiangshui City, and the reputation was that the prefectures of Xiangchu were very famous.
Of course, because Xiangchu has been rich in tea and rice since ancient times, Xiangdong also has the oldest ancient tea horse road, but it was not passed by the Hongyangtang at that time.
It was because of the existence of the rice merchant family that this ancient official road was widened by the government at the beginning of this century. As a result, the small county in eastern Hunan gradually spread its reputation, and the people were able to go south and north.
Since then, Xiangdong has also changed from an inland city to an important small trade county with convenient transportation, and this official road has also become famous, especially the main road for Hunan and Chu people to enter the two Guangzhou.
This official road is also the most envied by the people of the promotion hall, because the surrounding people have the convenience of the official road, and the production in the fields and the fresh fish in the waterway have become income, which can be transported to other places by land and water.
When the people around them have income, their lives are naturally much better than those in other places. It is also a village not far from the official road, and the promotion hall is far from the old official road, but it is enough to be two villages away. Not only is it a little inconvenient to enter and exit in ordinary times, but the income of the villagers is naturally far from comparable.
Building a road connecting the official road, or the official road passing by the promotion hall, naturally becomes a dream in the hearts of the people of the promotion hall!
Usually, the villagers only carry their shoulders from the next Yaoju Village, go to the official road passing by Xiangjia Village, and then go to Guangdong and Guangxi. Or go to Xiangdong County, or even farther Xiangshui City, or even the provincial capital of Xiangchu.
