Wangjiazhuang was not originally called Wangjiazhuang.
It was originally a village called Lingyun village. Lingyun village is surrounded by a very flat farmland, almost 5000 mu. There is a small autumn forest not far away. A small river five feet wide and one foot deep flows through the middle of Lingyun village. It is also a good place for our ancestors to dig canals to irrigate the farmland.
Originally, the people of Lingyun village lived a happy life, at least they didn't worry about food and clothing. In addition, they are located in the hinterland of Wuzhou, and there has been no war for hundreds of years, so the folk custom is very simple.
But 80 years ago, a man surnamed Wang came to Lingyun village. He was originally an outsider and was easily excluded. Perhaps it was because the people in Lingyun village were so kind that they not only took him in, but also provided him with a house, and even gave him ten mu of good land to live on.
The man surnamed Wang was also very grateful at the beginning. He was honest and busy farming and making a living. He didn't show much nature. After ten years of gaining a foothold in Lingyun village, he gradually began the expansion of the Wang family.
No one knows when Lao Wang's house had an additional hostess. He said that she was the wife he had begged for in his early years. She came to him when his life was stable, and she also brought five sons. The eldest son was only 15 years away from Lao Wang, that is, Lao Wang married at the age of 14.
Of course, it's nothing to get married at the age of 14. The problem is that Lao Wang's five sons have inherited Lao Wang's fine genes. Each one is tall, strong and powerful. I really don't know what they grew up eating. It's said that Lao Wang should not be wandering around if he can cultivate his five sons at home.
With the arrival of his wife and five sons, the population of Lao Wang's family suddenly soared. The eldest son was more than 20 years old, and the youngest son was 14 or 15 years old. In a twinkling of an eye, Lao Wang asked for wives for his sons. The original house was not enough. Lao Wang began to spend money to buy land from the villagers of Lingyun village.
At first, everyone thought that Lao Wang's family really needed to build a house, so they sold it to him out of kindness. However, soon the people in Lingyun village found that Lao Wang's situation was wrong.
In Lingyun village, the villagers build a house according to their own needs, and try not to occupy more fields so as not to affect the annual output. However, the first thing for Lao Wang's family to build a house is to build a fence, and the scope enclosed by the fence is quite large, and even directly occupy some of the fields just bought.
All the good fields for settling down have been occupied. What does Lao Wang's family do with so many labor forces?
The villagers of Lingyun village soon learned that Lao Wang began the process of "buying" while waving the silver ticket in his hand.
Chinese people always have a complex about land, so under normal circumstances, no one is willing to sell the land under their name. Having land means hope, and no one wants to cut off the hope of themselves and future generations. When Lao Wang began to buy, the villagers in Lingyun village thought Lao Wang would not succeed, but no one thought that several villagers would soon sell all the land under his name to Lao Wang.
It is said that this kind of village is very familiar with each other, but no matter who asks the villagers who sold the land, they can't find out why.
What's more surprising is that as soon as these villagers who sold land turned back, they entered Lao Wang's yard as employees.
Who doesn't know which is better or worse between self-employed farmers and long-term workers?
No one can guess the thoughts of the self-employed peasants who have become long-term workers, but someone in the village shouted that Lao Wang secretly used some means, some very bad and unnatural means.
It's good for someone to shout, but Lao Wang kept silent.
All kinds of discussions in the village went on, but Lao Wang's land acquisition continued. Within two months, he merged hundreds of mu of good farmland. So far, the good farmland under Lao Wang's name has reached the scale of thousands of mu, and is definitely the largest landlord in Lingyun village.
As a result, several rich families in Lingyun village felt threatened. They united to attack Lao Wang's family and even wanted to drive Lao Wang away from Lingyun village.
But no one expected that a group of horse bandits came to Lingyun village on a dark and windy night in less than three days when these rich families united to attack Lao Wang's house.
Ma bandit, this is a legend that hasn't appeared for many years.
These horse bandits didn't kill indiscriminately. They just robbed the villagers and set fire at the same time of house robbery. The most severely affected are the rich families. Who makes their houses look so conspicuous in the village?
The horse bandits did not spare Lao Wang's family, but Lao Wang's family is different from those rich families. They not only have tall and strong walls, but also have so many powerful men. Under the leadership of Lao Wang's five young sons, the men in Chuang Tzu took up arms against the horse bandits. Finally, the horse bandits retreated in vain and took away many hostages, It was said that the family of the hostages should take money and food to redeem them.
After the horse bandits withdrew, Lingyun village was in a mess. Basically, only the most dilapidated houses and Wangjiazhuang could remain intact. Those rich families whose families have been kidnapped are in great distress. They are either the owners of their families or the boys of their families are caught. It is certainly not possible not to redeem them, but Ma has to ask for a large amount of money. In Lingyun village, even the most accumulated food in the rich families is food. Where can I find the white money in a while?
Besides, who can guarantee that the horse bandits will not tear up the ticket after they get the silver? What if it's vicious and murderous?
Just when everyone had no idea, Lao Wang stood up. He first took out a lot of white money and said that as long as the land did not need food, and as long as it was the person who sold the land here, he would be responsible for helping to redeem the people. If he failed, the land would be returned to everyone.
With Lao Wang's promise and the five sons holding steel knives behind him, rows of young men, the people in the village had no choice but to reach an agreement with Lao Wang.
So in less than half a day, Lao Wang had another 1000 mu of land in his hands. Of course, he also fulfilled his promise. No one knows how he did it, but many of the hostages taken away by the horse bandits returned to Lingyun village.
After this incident, Lao Wang's family developed in Lingyun village. More villagers became employees of Lao Wang's family, but the people of Lao Wang's family have been growing. Some new faces gradually appeared in Lao Wang's family, but none of the villagers knew where they came from.
In this way, decades later, the Lao Wang family's continuous efforts finally brought more than 80% of the land of the whole Lingyun village into its name, and the name of Lingyun village has gradually been forgotten. People around know that it is called Lao Wang Village, and they don't remember that there was another name called Lingyun village.
