The Fourth Disaster, Starting from the Movie Eight Hundred

Chapter 152: This is not right

(First update. Due to force majeure today, there will probably only be one update. If I have time, I will update again. ε=(?ο｀*))) Alas)

Five years ago, university classroom

"Yunnan, Sichuan, Guizhou, and Guangxi are the main areas of activity for the Yi people. I'm sure you've all noticed that these are all remote, poor, and old areas with a large population. They're either surrounded by mountains or have poor waters and mountains. So before liberation, the lives of the Yi people were very difficult. Take Guangxi as an example..."

After the teacher finished this part and entered the free question session, Anna raised her hand.

"Teacher, if the local environment is so bad, why don't the Yi people move out?"

"This involves the external environment before liberation. The oppression suffered by the Yi people at that time wasn't just a one-sided ethnic issue; there were also class conflicts. For example, the Nationalist government exploited and oppressed the Yi people. If you're interested, you can research it online after class to get a better understanding of the Nationalist government's inhumanity."

"Did the Yi people really only have one choice at that time?"

"Objectively speaking, the Yi people at that time really had only one choice: to follow the leadership of the Party and embark on an independent and self-reliant path of development."

At this time, Anna heard the discussions of her classmates around her.

"Here we go again, the same old thing."

"This is called political correctness. It's the only correct thing in our country."

"There's really a lack of freedom. We should learn from the United States."

"That's right, it's a waste of time to still sing praises in this era."

That was an era when patriotism was criticized by public intellectuals as "lacking independent thinking", while anti-China parties were praised for "knowing how to think independently" when speaking nonsense. Anna felt that there was something wrong with this, but she could not give a convincing answer at the time.

I am an Yi myself. Did the Yi compatriots at that time really have no choice?

Destiny is a wonderful thing. When Anna grew up, she encountered an opportunity to prove her ideas in a game.

In this special era, do our Yi compatriots living in old, remote, poor and ethnic minority areas have any other choices?

After Anna and the Quantum Girl landed in the Yi ethnic group's activity area in Guangxi, the locals immediately worshipped them, because the two fairies fell from the sky and were definitely not mortals. They could even turn beans into soldiers.

Faced with a group of Yi compatriots kneeling before her, Anna was at a loss.

However, the quantum girl responded quickly.

"Please don't misunderstand us. We are not fairies. We are Chinese just like you. We are volunteers who came here to liberate you."

After hearing this, the Yi compatriots immediately responded in unison, shouting "Long live the people". Having gained ideological liberation, they immediately embarked on the path of independence... That was impossible.

The truth is, after the quantum girl finished speaking, the Yi compatriots kneeling on the ground looked at each other in bewilderment.

What are these two girls talking about? Liberation? What does that mean? I don't really understand.

The illiteracy rate in the area is 97 percent, and everyone must know what this means.

I thought I would start working after landing, or integrate with the local remnants of the Kuomintang army. Unexpectedly, I faced a group of illiterate people after landing. The communication between the two sides was completely out of sync. You talked about the front door building, and he listened to the hip bone elbow. This fully proved that with the help of dialects, Chinese can contain a huge amount of information in a few tones.

What embarrassed Anna the most was that although her ethnicity was Yi on her ID card, she could not speak the local dialect.

Her grandfather's generation had already started to leave the mountain village. By the time her parents came of age, she was already a grown-up girl living in the city and speaking Mandarin. Not to mention the Yi dialect, she didn't even understand the local customs. If the Yi ethnicity on her ID card hadn't reminded her that it could add extra points in the college entrance examination when she used it, she would have subconsciously forgotten that she was Yi.

The communication is in Chinese, the writing is in Chinese, the habits are Chinese, and now we have to be compatible with our Yi compatriots from more than half a century ago. It's like a floppy disk looking for an optical drive in front of a type-c interface.

Fortunately, the game system provides strong language compatibility. After the initial language training and matching, Quantum Girl and Anna were finally able to communicate with their Yi compatriots from more than half a century ago, although the words they sometimes said were incomprehensible to the locals.

Just like you can’t expect people in the Qin Dynasty to speak Chinese ╮(╯▽╰)╭.

On the first day of arriving at the local area, the two girls' main job is to understand the local customs. As for other aspects, you should get familiar with the local people first.

Soon, a week passed, and the locals finally got familiar with the two girls and could have a friendly communication with them. Then the local Nohe came to their door and wanted to capture the two girls to serve him.

Let me explain a little here. Nohe, also known as the Black Yi, is considered a privileged group among the Yi people. They belong to the highest class, accounting for about 7% of the local total population. They almost monopolize land and slave resources and have political and military power.

Simply put, it is the caste system unique to the Yi ethnic group, which has even survived into the 21st century.

You ask where it is? Open the map and find Daliang Mountain. It's right here.

In addition, there are two other levels, namely Qunuo (Bai Yi), Ajia (Anjia kids) and Jiaxi (Guozhuang kids).

You wouldn’t have thought that there are many turtles in a shallow pond and big brothers everywhere. Although the place where the Yi people live is poor and mountainous, they have still formed a perfect relationship of personal dependence and exploitation.

Qunuo, also known as the White Yi, is considered the middle class in the local area. They have a certain degree of personal freedom but need to rely on the Black Yi, bear taxes and labor, and some can own a small amount of land. The closest status is self-cultivating farmers. There are not many of them, and the local natural environment means that as long as there is any disturbance, these Qunuo will go bankrupt and incur debts, and become a lower-level existence.

Aga is also called Anjiawazi, and Xiaxi is called Guozhuangwazi. They are the lowest class, have no personal freedom, and are the property of the local Nohe. To put it bluntly, they are slaves who can be traded and sold.

This system maintains its rule through local family organizations, which are the "patrilineal blood groups" we are familiar with. The Black Yi control the population and resources through family branches. When encountering conflicts, they use what the locals call "Degu", which is the head, clan leader, or decision-maker in the family branch. They meet, mediate and enforce the law privately, forming a complete slave clan rule system.

"Do you know this?" The quantum girl looked at Anna.

"I don't know~" Anna's head was almost vibrating and shaking.

For a girl who grew up in a Han-influenced environment and forgets she's Yi unless she shows her ID, getting to know Yi culture from over half a century ago is like chatting with a Qin Dynasty person in Mandarin. Everyone was lucky enough to get the general idea across by guessing, so what else could they ask for?

But now someone has come to capture Anna and the Quantum Girl to be maids, and they are a little tired of living.

But the behavior of the Black Yi is understandable. After all, if two beautiful girls educated in modern society were placed in the Yi mountainous area in 1940, they would be like fairies from heaven. The local privileged class would definitely have bad intentions.

If it were an ordinary person, it would basically be the tragic story of "White Haired Girl", but if it were Anna and the Quantum Girl...

About the incident in 1940 when I led an armored unit to parachute into the Yi mountainous area and was captured by the local Black Yi and forced to serve as a maid.

"You're the only one who wants to arrest me?"

The quantum girl sneered and grabbed the neck of the Black Yi chief in front of her and lifted him up. The other party was completely frightened, especially his servants who did not dare to resist after encountering the big iron cart.

In fact, the two of them have been very restrained in their actions here. The Yi mountainous area is not suitable for heavy armored vehicles, so the NPC commanders and fighters they temporarily summoned are all equipped with mountain divisions, and the tanks are also Type 2 tanks temporarily purchased from the game mall.

In the current combat sequence of the Volunteer Army, it is treated as a reconnaissance vehicle.

But in the Yi mountainous area, the 20mm machine gun can really be used as a cannon. After a burst of fire, the opponents collectively said, "I have no objection." The vital signs in front of the tomb were very good.

However, this scene was too stimulating in the eyes of other Yi compatriots.

To them, Nuohe (Hei Yi) was a god-like figure in the local area, a master whose word was final. But now the two girls directly called the troops on the spot and brought a large iron cart to kill Nuohe and his entire family.

As expected, they are celestial maidens, gods who have descended to earth!

The Yi people also have their own myths and legends. In addition, the Black Yi people in the local area are not kind and charitable, but at least they are idle. Now they are punished by the goddess of heaven. God has eyes!

Anna and the quantum girl knew nothing about this, and they had no idea about the Black Yi's property. Now that the local Black Yi had been eliminated by the Nine Clans Elimination Chamber, according to the tradition of the Volunteer Army, they would divide the fields, land, cattle and sheep, and give all that could be distributed to the people around them. The local people who got the benefits would definitely be more united around the Volunteer Army.

Under normal circumstances, there would definitely be problems in the first phase of land distribution. The local people were afraid that the gentry would come back to retaliate, unless the volunteer army showed stronger combat effectiveness and control. However, since Anna and the Quantum Girl were already regarded as gods by the locals, things would be much simpler.

It's such a glorious thing given by the gods, you don't want it but I do! -p

As for the Black Yi people from outside, tut tut tut, how can they really beat the gods?

Under the somewhat puzzled gaze of Anna and the Quantum Girl, the locals showed great cooperation and completed the work quickly, which made the two feel that there was something wrong.

"Anna, don't you think the locals are too cooperative?"

"Yes, Sister Quantum, I also think there is a problem, but what is the problem?"

Just when the two were puzzled, the Yi compatriots who had divided the Black Yi land and wealth knelt in front of them and shouted "Long live" (similar meaning, not the real "Long live" in Chinese). Now the two understood.

It seems like they treat us like gods and think we are two gods who are giving them justice.

This...this...this is not right!

Chapter 153: Anna’s flash of inspiration

(Second update, (?3[▓▓]Good night)

Guangxi is next to Yunnan. The hobby here is mushrooms. We are good at making mushrooms first and then little people (nods).

Now that the whole country has been liberated, except for the players who are still fighting abroad, the rest of the players have joined the comprehensive construction of Xinhua Huan as officers and soldiers of the Sixth Column of the International Volunteer Army. They are like a stabilizing force, deterring all enemies, whether foreign or domestic, in the vast land of China.

The place where Anna and the Quantum Girl are is the main activity area of ​​the Yi people in Guangxi. Together with Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan, this place is a gathering area for ethnic minorities. But even if it is a gathering area, the number of all the ethnic minorities here combined is not as large as the number of Han people. In addition, the Xinhua in the parallel world has completely abolished the ethnic division under the intervention of the players, so everyone is a Chinese nation.

Of course, this proposal was opposed by some people. Some cadres suggested that appropriate care should be taken for ethnic minorities because they had been oppressed by the Han people throughout history and should be compensated.

However, the players argued that "the benefits of oppressing minorities go to the privileged class. Now the privileged class of the old era is either in labor camps or in the underworld. Everyone comes from eight generations of poor peasants. We are all Chinese people, descendants of Yan and Huang. We are all one family and there is no need to distinguish between any special ethnic groups. Regional customs can be retained as part of Chinese culture, but there is only one ethnic group when it comes to ethnic issues. We must work together to move into a new era."

With the influence of the Volunteer Army and the correctness of this slogan, all internal dissenting voices were immediately suppressed. However, after years of beating, the players also knew that some local people were able to pass on such voices to the top, and they must have selfish motives. Therefore, for those guys who do bad things under the banner, the Siberian Railway Construction will always welcome them.

Anna had no opinion on this, she was too lazy to even comment because she was too busy.

Now her and Quantum Girl's main work is to alleviate poverty in Guangxi. Since they live in the area of ​​the Yi compatriots, they simply start poverty alleviation on the spot and get rid of those chieftains and Black Yi at the same time.

It is true that the whole country has been liberated, but the details in some corners still need to be cleared point by point.

After the Black Yi people wanted to capture her and the Quantum Girl as maids, Anna deeply realized that it was useless to communicate with the local privileged people with words. The weapon of criticism could not replace the criticism of weapons. It was better for some people to disappear from the world.

However, it is impossible for the two of them to rectify the entire Guangxi region. Nanning alone has many problems.

Big cities are often where stubborn forces gather most easily, so after discussion within the group, the players directly adopted the simplest and most brutal method, which was to build a new city on the back of the old city of Nanning, also called Nanning, but the new city directly governs the old city of Nanning, which is equivalent to directly taking away local power.

Is this okay?

Two hundred players parachuted in. What do you think is the problem now?

And those magical animals, those cute little ones who appear from nowhere are more terrifying than the Discipline Inspection Commission.

The powerful people of the old era are the main targets of the players, because Xinhua is strong enough and there is no need to carry out united front work on these people. Therefore, the privileged people of the old era who have lost their value in united front work have become the favorites of the new order to fill the treasury.

The Volunteer Army was very rich, but after all, it was only the Volunteer Army that was rich. The Red Party would never ask the Volunteer Army to bear all the expenses. That would mean that the Red Party had no independent ability to generate income and govern. Some people with some ideas also hoped that the Red Party could break away from the Volunteer Army and become completely independent as soon as possible. These ideas all pointed to one result - to carry out a thorough land revolution.

There is no way. The government of the new era has no money, so it can only take money from the pockets of the fat sheep of the old era. Development funds will not fall from the sky. Even if you develop in the most extreme way that consumes manpower and minerals, you must first have means of production that can monetize labor. Land and factories are the channels for monetization.

The century-long national humiliation has also caused Xinhua to be seriously infected with the symptoms of "saving the country through industry" from top to bottom.

Industrialization, industrialization, and industrialization. Xinhua must industrialize at all costs!

With the help of the volunteer army, the difficult start from zero to one has been sold, and the other difficulties can be overcome by relying on time and perseverance.

Now let’s go back to Guangxi.

National poverty alleviation is a systematic project, but the specific work needs someone to implement it.

Objectively speaking, the development conditions in Guangxi, or the entire southwest region, are not very good. This is clearly illustrated by the fact that in history the Japanese invaders were unable to break into the Kuomintang even when facing the weakest army.

Guangxi's terrain slopes from high in the northwest to low in the southeast, creating an overall basin-like shape, often referred to as the "Guangxi Basin." This region is also ideal for development. The northwest borders the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, with elevations mostly above 800 meters. The central region is hilly and river valley plains, while the southeast is dominated by low mountain plateaus, and alluvial plains lie along the coast. While development costs here are indeed high compared to the Yunnan-Guizhou-Sichuan region, they are not exceptionally high. Furthermore, with its proximity to the sea, including Fangchenggang and Tieshan Port areas, it's certainly feasible to prioritize the prosperity of certain areas.

"This is not good. Isn't it about common prosperity?" Anna raised an objection.

The quantum girl sighed and asked, "Anna, how do you think our compatriots in the mountains are doing?"

"It's so bad, so sad. Many people can't leave the mountains for their entire lives, forever trapped in the cages of the mountains. They deserve a better life~"

"You think so, and I think so too, but the problem is that the locals may not think so."

"Yes~"

Anna recalled some of the work carried out during this period, especially population migration.

An obvious fact is that the ecological carrying capacity of mountains is extremely limited. In the land of China, which has been developed for about five thousand years, large cities and their surrounding areas are the most suitable places for local people to live. Only by concentrating the population in these places can the cost of centralized management and road construction be greatly reduced.

That's right, Anna and others distributed land and cattle and sheep to the locals, but those things were just a temporary change to the status quo for the locals. The small peasant economy had extremely poor survival ability and would go bankrupt on a large scale at the slightest disturbance. Then it was the familiar routine, selling land to survive, those who had some spare money collected land, those who owned a lot of land became landlords and annexed more land, and then the landlords became Black Yi, and the Black Yi were promoted to chieftains and became the powerful class, repeating the story of the past.

If the economic base remains unchanged, there are only so many stories the superstructure can tell.

Therefore, we need to bring industry, roads, and new ways of developing productivity to the local people. When the villagers begin to leave the village, the traditional economic structure will disintegrate, the clans above it will fall apart, and a new order will emerge.

But ordinary people who have not received education have very limited vision. They can only use their common sense to imagine the outside world and speculate with the greatest malice. Their pitiful margin of tolerance does not allow them to do anything beyond their ability. In the end, they can only be trapped in their own little world, because they know the rules and order here best and are most adapted to them. As long as it is slightly better than before, they will gladly accept the old order.

It’s not that ordinary people are short-sighted, but that we don’t have the resources to make mistakes.

How does the saying go: I don’t have a father who is the village chief to support me.

The other side of being hard to leave one’s hometown is that people feel valued away from their hometown.

Why did ancient people rarely leave their homeland?

Because after leaving the familiar survival system of your hometown, everything has to be adapted to again, and those who cannot adapt to the new rules are most likely to become cannon fodder and be consumed.

Modern young people are not very willing to return to their hometowns in small counties to seek development, not to mention in ancient times, the commuting cost alone could turn a strong man into noodles.

"But the cost of building a village-to-village network is too high. Does this world's Xinhua have to wait more than half a century of development before the dawn of industrialization can reach the mountain villages?"

Anna shook her head, unwilling to accept this result.

"It seems that we can only eat one bite at a time." The quantum girl shook her head. Some things just cannot be achieved by haste.

Anna lay on the table, thinking for a long time, and then suddenly an idea flashed in her mind.

"Sister Quantum, I have a solution!" -p
