Chapter 302 The Joy of Returning Home to Farm

"You can't say that. What we have done is great and beneficial to the country and the people."

"Your Majesty said that there will be drought in the next two years. The grains we grow now are the food for the people."

"With Your Majesty in charge of our four passes, there is naturally no shortage of grain. These grains are prepared for other passes that have not been conquered."

Speaking of this, everyone's mood became heavy again.

With Your Majesty, they can live a good life without worries about food and clothing, but people in other passes are still living in dire straits.

"Our four passes are completely blocked, and I don't know what's going on outside now."

"What can we do? I guess everyone is hungry now."

No one in other passes gave them food, let alone hot pot.

There would not be a great official who would pay for them to grow seeds out of his own pocket and teach them how to grow crops.

The veterans complained, but they also admired Gan Fanren's actions.

Seeing how hard everyone worked, the kitchen staff was very willing to give them more food.

For the soldiers who were used to training on weekdays, farming was much easier than training.

After a day of farming, they didn't feel any pain or itching on their bodies, and they had gained a lot of weight because they ate well in the kitchen.

The generals frowned when they saw this.

Gan Fanren happened to come over.

"I have been going to the countryside with Uncle Huang these days and found that many men in families have joined the army, leaving no one to work at home. This time, many families are left with only the elderly, the weak, women and children to do the spring ploughing, and they are simply unable to cope with it."

"The people have entrusted their sons to us, and we can't let them really be without sons."

"Go and help the people plant the land."

The commanders at each pass did not hesitate: "I see that these boys are very energetic, it would be a good idea for them to plant the land for the people."

When the soldiers received the notice, they were stunned.

"Did I hear it right? Let us go back to farm? There is such a good thing?"

"Yes, His Majesty really gave the order. I just heard several centurions and thousand captains discussing together, saying that they would let everyone go to register and go back to their homes first."

"A few days ago, I was still thinking, I am the only laborer in my family, what will happen to the land at home if I leave, but I didn't expect to receive a notice today."

"Wow, Your Majesty is so kind, I will swear to pursue Your Majesty to the death."

"I have been in the army for six years and have never been home. I didn't expect that I can go home this year."

Everyone began to pack up and prepare to go home.

After a while, everyone received a notice to register.

They hurriedly packed their clothes and lined up excitedly. Those

who have land at home will go home first, and those who don't have land will be arranged randomly.

Seeing the soldiers laughing so hard, Gan Fanren was also infected by their emotions.

"Don't worry, everyone, register one by one."

"I, Gan, guarantee you that your family's land will be planted."

"Not only this year, but every year in the future, your family's land will not be abandoned. The Gan family army will help you. Even if you leave the barracks, your family's land will be planted and harvested. Your family will never go hungry."

The soldiers' eyes turned red in an instant.

Those who come to serve in the army are not afraid of death.

But if they die, there will be no one to take care of their families.

Gan Fanren's promise gave them a reassurance.

They are willing to follow such a lord.

Xiaoli Village.

Li Dashi was tired all day, and he was too tired to walk before he got home.

He sat on a big rock, pounding his shoulders with his hands powerlessly.

He sighed deeply, his tone lonely: "I'm old and useless. I can't even finish planting such a small piece of land."

As he was muttering, suddenly a pair of hands attacked his shoulders and pinched his shoulders.

He was startled, and when he turned around, he saw that it was his son who went to join the army.

"Son? Why are you back?"

Li Er smiled: "The emperor has ordered us to go home and plant the land."

"I also brought a few brothers in the army to help plant the land."

Several soldiers showed their heads: "Hello, Uncle Li."

"You wicked child, you didn't even tell your father that your brother was here, come home quickly, your father asked your mother to cook some side dishes."

"Dad, I'll carry you."

Li Er grinned and carried Li Dashi on his back.

Li Dashi was startled.

"Let dad down quickly, people are laughing at him."

"What's the joke? It's only natural for a son

to carry his father on his back." "That's right, Uncle Li, it's only natural for a son to carry his father on his back, they are just jealous."

Several brothers were talking with laughter.

Li Dashi's mouth curled up, and his old face was full of joy.

This night, not only Li Dashi, many people were waiting for their sons whom they had not seen for a long time.

Some of them came home in the early morning because they had traveled far away. They were mistaken for thieves and beaten.

After finding out it was their son, the family hugged each other and cried and laughed.

A large number of young people appeared in the fields where there were no young people before.

They talked and laughed while helping their family to plant the land.

After a few days, the land was planted.

When he left, his family saw him off for a long way.

Li Dashi couldn't help crying while holding his son's head.

"Son, you must listen to His Majesty, eat well, train well, and you must come back alive."

Li Er's eyes were red: "Dad, don't worry, I will definitely come back alive. Not only will I come back alive, but I will also make achievements and never let you down."

Every soldier who returned home had his hands full of specialties.

Some were pickled vegetables, some were dried meat, and some were hand-sewn clothes and shoes.

After this, they trained more seriously.

When Gan Fanren went to inspect the military camp, he could feel everyone's efforts.

Now the people of the four passes are living and working in peace and contentment.

Gan Fanren took out his old specialty again.

Bicycles.

As usual, a bicycle costs one hundred taels.

It's not cheap either, and the main purpose is to rip off the rich.

The people of the four passes had already seen Gan Fanren and his friends riding such a bicycle, and when they saw someone selling a bicycle, they were immediately tempted.

It only takes one hundred taels of silver to get the same model as your majesty.

Buy it!

You must buy it!

Those rich people took out their silver and bought bicycles.

Gan Fanren spent money like crazy.

Seeing this, Hui Niang also planned to reopen Huiyan Pavilion.

You know, her bags can also sell for a lot of money.

But this time, she was a little hesitant.

After the hot pot shop incident, she learned a truth: she can't make all the money in the world by herself, and win-win cooperation is the truth.

From a businessman's point of view, she should continue to let her daughter get it from the mall.

The sanitary napkins in the mall are sold at no cost, and you just need to ask someone to sew a few cloth bags.

But from the perspective of a superior, it is more cost-effective to let others do it.

Buying cotton wool can make money for farmers who grow cotton.

Making sanitary napkins can hire a large number of women and increase their income.

If someone is willing to spend money, they can also buy her secret recipe for making it.
