Chapter 251 It's Different
Ever since Gan Fanren sent people to take over the Sun Family Army, everyone's life has been much better.
The Sun brothers used to only care about themselves, so how could they have the energy to take care of these big soldiers.
The meals they eat on weekdays are terrible. Not only do they taste bad, comparable to swill, but they are also very dirty. The sand in the hair is nothing.
Sometimes the meals they eat are all rotten.
Every month their monthly salary cannot be received on time. They are reluctant to buy trousers. Each person only has two or three pairs, and they were stolen before.
These are all secondary. Why
did they join the army! Either they were forcibly conscripted, or they came voluntarily with the intention of protecting the people.
They wanted to achieve great things in the army and protect the people, but the Sun brothers made them do things that hurt the people all day long!
When Gan Fanren came, they were not convinced.
But at that time, all the officials in Tongmen Pass obeyed Gan Fanren, and they did not know that Gan Fanren was a rebel. They
thought that Gan Fanren and others were sent by the court.
Gan Fanren rarely came, and they were managed by the former generals of the Tang family army. As soon as they came, they paid back the military pay that Sun Xing owed them. They
also threw away all the rotten dishes in the cafeteria and replaced them with green and juicy new dishes.
On the first night, they tasted a new dish. It
was called hot pot.
It was so delicious!
The brothers sat together, eating the spicy and hot hot pot, which was very refreshing.
The most important thing is that they no longer do those things that are against the will of heaven and earth. They also help the people and get their praise.
God knows how happy they were when they got the praise of the people for the first time!
Once, Tang Jue got a lot of meat from somewhere. There was hot charcoal burning underneath, and the meat was sizzling when roasted. It was so fragrant when dipped in seasoning.
They had never eaten such delicious meat before, and they gobbled it up one by one.
Tang Jue sat among the crowd and chatted with everyone casually: "Everyone should know that I used to be a general of the Tang Family Army, right?"
Many Sun Family Army quietly moved their bodies, trying to reduce their presence, for fear that Tang Jue would remember their previous actions.
At first, they followed the Sun brothers and did many things, one of which was to bully the Tang family army recklessly.
Unexpectedly, in just half a month, the situation changed.
"Don't be nervous, I know you are all following orders, not what you think in your heart, I will not hold the past accountable."
"I can assure you that although the Sun family army will be renamed the Gan family army in the future, your original treatment will not change. Not only will it not change, but it will be better than before!"
Tang Jun sat up and asked, "Why did you join the army?"
"To protect my country!"
"To feed my family!"
"To be an official!"
Many people gave many answers, some to protect my country, some to get rich, everyone's goals were different, but in the end they all wanted to get better.
Tang Jue nodded: "Not bad, you have ambition."
"If you always follow the Sun brothers, you will never be able to make a name for yourself in your life. Do you know why?"
"Because we don't fight wars and we oppress the people all day long. How can we be promoted?"
An old soldier said sourly, obviously full of resistance to the Sun brothers.
"That's right, how can you get promoted if you don't fight?"
"Our military camp is now a pit of carrots and carrots. Even if there are vacancies, they are assigned by the higher-ups. How can we get a turn? We are destined to be pawns all our lives!"
Tang Jue took out the wine pot, drank a sip of wine, and said to everyone: "You are right!"
"If soldiers want to be promoted, they must either do their job well or fight well."
"Now your chance has come. I will give you an opportunity. Those who want to accomplish great things with me and do practical things for the people should stay. Those who are greedy and afraid of death should leave quickly."
Leave?
Where are they going?
In the military camp, at least they have money to take and food to eat.
Nowadays, the world is so difficult. Not many people can survive in any place. There are refugees everywhere.
If so many of them left, not only would they not be able to find work, they would also be held accountable by the court and would not even have food to eat.
They agreed to work with Tang Jue without much hesitation.
Some who were concerned wanted to leave, but they could not move when they saw the food for the next day.
Damn, what is the food in the kitchen that smells so good?
Why don’t we have two full meals before leaving?
After two days of full meals, they felt that the food was so delicious that it would be okay to eat for another two days. After eating
for another two days, Gan Fanren sent them various tasks, which were completely different from what Sun Xing had asked them to do before.
The tasks that Sun Xing asked them to do were to surround the city, speculate on grain prices, disguise themselves as bandits to rob the people of their property, and bully the Tang family army.
Gan Fanren asked them to distribute food and cloth to the people, maintain order, and guide the people to see doctors.
Every thing they did was a great thing!
A burst of praise reached their ears.
They were all lifted up by the praise.
Now they heard that they were mining stones to dig wells for the people, and they were all very strong.
Although the work was tiring, the food was better. Every meal was delicious fish and meat, and the kitchen cooked them in various ways.
They were full of energy now.
Mining stones was originally a time-consuming and laborious task. Fortunately, Song Ci was here. The mechanical centipede he built became a big hit, which made the mining work much easier.
In about half a month, the mining work was completed.
The food in the kitchen also returned to normal, and everyone felt very uncomfortable after being idle.
"There's nothing interesting about this except training every day. I'd rather go out and work."
"Yes, working out not only gives you good food, but you can also be praised by the people."
"I carried a girl's mother to see a doctor before. Yesterday, the girl came to the barracks and gave me a pair of shoes. This is the first time I've received a gift from someone."
The old soldier blushed and smiled shyly.
He thought he would be laughed at, but he didn't expect others to talk about their experiences.
"Me too. A few days ago, I went to a villager's house to dig a well. That family was in great difficulty, so I couldn't help but talk to Lord Gan, no, our Majesty. Unexpectedly, His Majesty immediately sent a stone of rice over, and arranged for the girl from that family to work in the kitchen, so that she could get five taels of silver every month. This morning, the girl saw me and gave me an extra chicken leg." "
And me, before, I beat up an old man in order to complete General Sun's mission. Some time ago, I met the old man again during the free clinic. I carried the old man to see a doctor on his back, and the old man not only didn't blame me, but also thanked me."
"The old man said he knew I was just following orders, so he didn't blame me, and even gave me an egg."
