Chapter 39 Longshou Village ([-])

Early the next morning, they left Guquan Town and headed east.Walking with them was the housekeeper, Uncle Fang.

After leaving Guquan Town, the four of them walked on horseback for more than an hour before entering the mountainous area.After walking along the winding mountain road for more than an hour, Pang Shiyuan pointed to a huge boulder on a mountain peak in front of him and said, "Dad, is that the dragon head stone you mentioned?"

Pang Zhiyang looked up, nodded and said, "That's right, that's the dragon's head stone. Look at the horns, the beard, and the mouth, are they exactly the same as the dragon's head?"

"It's quite similar, no wonder it's called Longshou Village." Pang Shizong said.

Pang Shiyuan didn't care about this, he asked about other things: "Dad, this Longshou Village is quite remote, how did grandpa and uncle find it here?"

Pang Zhiyang replied: "It was an accident. The military disaster back then forced our Pang family to give up their ancestral property and flee in all directions. Your fifth uncle just happened to escape here. After the military disaster was over, the Pang family was rebuilt, but everyone was right. Bing Calamity had lingering fears, and felt that there should be a safer place to resettle the tribe. So with your fifth uncle’s opinion, we established Longshou Village belonging to our Pang family here.”

As descendants of the Pang family, they naturally know the story of the Pang family, but what they don't know is that the ending of the story is so different from what they know.

As far as they know, the Pang family that has experienced the war disaster no longer gathers in one place, but disperses to various places and develops independently.But the fact is that the Pang family moved most of their clansmen deep into the mountains and established a Longshou village belonging to their Pang family.

"How many people are there in Longshou Village?" Pang Shiyuan asked again.

"There are 320 four people in the whole village. If Zhifeng's daughter-in-law gives birth smoothly, there will be 320 five people." Pang Zhiyang really knows Longshou Village very well.

"They are all from our Pang family?" Pang Shiyuan asked again.

"All."

"Then this speed of development is really fast!" Pang Shiyuan admired in his mouth, but muttered in his heart, "This is really possible! In modern times, the fines for family planning alone would bankrupt the Pang family. Let alone say anything Longshou Village has been established."

From Pang Zhiyang's mouth, he already knew that after the military disaster, the rebuilt Pang family only had a total of more than 30 people.And among the thirty or so people, there are also old people and women.

Thinking about the current Pangjialongshou Village with more than 300 people, this has increased tenfold!

"It's developed well. From the generation of your great-grandfather and great-uncle to the present, there are only three generations, and the population of the Pang family has increased by nearly ten times." Pang Zhiyang was very proud, and Pang Shizong was also very excited, rejoicing at the growth of the family .

However, since modern times, people have accepted that technology is power, and that a large number of people does not necessarily mean great power. Pang Shiyuan, who has been educated with quality over quantity, finds it difficult to sincerely agree with them.

The reason why modern China cannot become a superpower is because of the pressure of its huge population.When Pang Shiyuan chats with friends and colleagues, he always laments why there are so many people in China.As a result, China clearly has the highest gross national product in the world, but everyone's income is only at the level of ordinary developed countries.

(This is a parallel world. Major changes took place in the history of China at the beginning of the [-]th century. Many things have changed, but the inherent concept of the Chinese makes population still one of the biggest problems in society. I will find opportunities to introduce it later Let’s take a look at China in the parallel world.)
Therefore, when he heard that his father and brother were proud of the population increase, he couldn't feel the same way.

Of course, he will not speak out against it.

Pang Zhiyang continued: "Actually, although there are all Pang family members in the village, half of them are not real Pang family members."

"How to say?"

"Our Pang family is a family of good deeds, and we have always extended favors widely. Colleagues in good deeds, we will intentionally recruit some orphans with better qualifications and bring them back to Longshou Village. Most of these orphans have no parents and are lonely. , when they arrive at Longshou Village, they will be from Longshou Village, and they will be grateful to our Pang family. We will train these orphans in the same way as our Pang family children. When they reach adulthood, we will give them a choice to become Pang family members. , or go out on their own. Most of the orphans will choose to become Pang’s family members, and only a few will leave on their own. Song Jiahui, who became famous a few years ago, Shi Yuan should have an impression?” Pang Zhiyang was talking, and suddenly talked about the new A generation of famous swordsman Song Jiahui.

"Of course I have an impression. One knife cuts the soul, but it is recognized as a first-class master who has great hope of being promoted to the day after tomorrow." Pang Shiyuan replied, and then immediately realized, "Could it be that Song Jiahui is an orphan cultivated by our Pang family?"

Song Jiahui, a swordsman who has risen strongly in recent years, is famous for his sword-drawing skills that can determine the outcome of life or death with one hand.Since his debut, he has not lost a single defeat, and has defeated many famous masters. Pang Shiyuan also saw it in Daizong's database.Being able to enter the Daizong database shows that Song Jiahui's strength has indeed reached a certain height.

"That's right." Pang Zhiyang was really proud this time, and he couldn't help stroking his well-groomed beard with his right hand, "Song Jiahui came out of Longshou Village more than ten years ago. Of course, Song Jiahui just debuted Back then, his strength was not as strong as it is now, and he had another adventure after he arrived in Jianghu."

Pang Shiyuan nodded in relief, thinking: "This is normal!"

If the Pang family could cultivate such a powerful swordsman as Song Jiahui, how could the Pang family need to be so concealed, even daring to do it blatantly in running their own power, and could only secretly build a village in the mountains and develop slowly.

Pang Shizong had a question at this time: "Then why is Song Jiahui's surname Song, not Pang?"

"This is the rule established when Longshou Village was established. Orphans are all surnamed Pang when they arrive in Pangjia Village. After they become adults, if they want to leave, they can restore their original name. Song Jiahui is his original name."

"Then we are not too disadvantaged? The masters we have cultivated with great difficulty let them leave for nothing." Pang Shizong was puzzled.

"It's a loss, and sometimes it's just taking advantage." Pang Zhiyang dropped a wise saying in a well-mannered manner, and then explained, "These orphans have left, but anyone with a little conscience knows who raised them, and who raised them So, even though they left, they would more or less feed back Longshou Village after they made achievements. What Song Jiahui gave back to Pangjia Village was his famous sword drawing skills. Do you still think Have our Pang family suffered a loss?"

Pang Shizong stopped talking, but Pang Shiyuan felt that the ancestors of the Pang family were really far-sighted and proficient in psychology, or a little dark-hearted.

Except for the natural white-eyed wolf, no one would feel at ease after receiving a major favor from others.They will always try their best to repay their benefactors for peace of mind.
