However, the villagers breathed a sigh of relief when they thought that the King of Zhennan never forced anyone to serve in the military and that it was all voluntary.
Some people were concerned and asked, "Is it really completely voluntary? Don't you have to pay anything?"
Shanhe nodded and said, "It is indeed voluntary. I took a look and there are quite a lot of people who have signed up.
Because there are 5 taels of silver every month!
I also heard that the food is very, very good, and if the county government recruits workers again, my family members will be given priority."
The conditions are indeed very tempting, 5 taels of silver a month, which is simply unimaginable.
Su Nanxing finally understood why the Prince of Zhennan's Mansion was so poor.
How can we not be poor if all the money is used to support the army?
Fortunately, a gold mine was discovered, but the location of the gold mine was dangerous after all.
Su Nanxing began to think about the possibility of finding a gold mine in the fiefdom of the Zhennan Palace.
When the news of conscription came out in the city, many workers in restaurants were tempted.
The treatment this time is better, and family members can be given priority to be admitted and work in the county government's workshop.
But if you fight a war, you will die. Even if you make a lot of money, life is more important.
However, there are people who quit their jobs to sign up, after all, there are some families that are really poor.
Or young people who are ambitious and want to realize their dreams.
However, although the conditions for this conscription have been relaxed a lot, not everyone can be recruited.
More than a dozen people went to Su Nanxing's construction site, but only five were hired.
The rest of the people came back to continue working.
More details about the first battle fought by the young prince soon came over.
When Su Nanxing saw Gu Jiu again, he was very excited and told her about something that had been hotly discussed in the city recently.
“Boss, you don’t know that everyone admires the young prince very much!
The county town, which was originally a bit quiet, is now bustling with activity.
In recent days, more and more people have come to our hot pot restaurant to eat.
I believe things will soon return to their previous state, and business will probably be even better.”
Su Nanxing couldn't stop smiling, not because business was good, but because the people began to love and respect the young prince.
"Can business be better than before?" Su Nanxing asked.
Gu Jiu nodded, "Yes, more and more people are fleeing from the north, and some are even coming from the capital.
These people are all very wealthy, and when they arrive in Nanqing City, they like to try some new and exotic local food."
Su Nanxing frowned, "Are there a lot of people? Are there a lot of refugees?"
Gu Jiu's expression also turned serious, "A lot, especially a lot of refugees.
All the refugees who were able to join the army did so.
But more people could only eat relief food at the city gate and wait for the county magistrate's arrangements.
There are countless people who want to sell themselves into slavery, and the human traffickers in the city are all in a frenzy."
Su Nanxing: "Go and buy some people for me, buy some old, weak, women and children, especially children, buy them all."
Gu Jiu was shocked. "Boss, even though you are rich, I'm afraid you can't afford to support them."
Su Nanxing waved her hand and said, "Don't worry, I won't keep them for nothing. Since I bought them, I will definitely make them work."
Although Gu Jiu still had doubts in his heart, he thought that his master would have his own solution.
So he immediately took the silver given by Su Nanxing, and asked, "And how are you finding the chef and storyteller for the restaurant?"
"The chefs have been decided. One is purchased and the other is hired." Gu Jiu took out two contracts. "It's not easy to find a storyteller. I haven't found anyone I'm satisfied with yet."
Su Nanxing took the contract and said, "The chef asked them to go to the restaurant in the city to learn. As for the storyteller, we don't have to find a powerful and experienced one.
I am not afraid that no one will listen to my story, so any young person who has good character can bring it to me."
Su Nanxing thought to himself, our country's four great classics have been enduring, so there is no need to worry about no one liking them.
Gu Jiu took the order and rushed back to the city with his men to help Su Nanxing.
This time, Gu Jiu came here mainly to deliver the weapons that Su Nanxing wanted.
Because good weapons are hard to find, and Su Nanxing wants a large quantity, Gu Jiu spent a lot of effort.
After Su Nanxing received the weapons, he asked the village chief to distribute them to the villagers, and the rest were placed in the Su family's basement.
The villagers were very excited when they received the new weapons.
The old weapons were given to the children in the family.
Now the villagers start practicing martial arts in the morning and evening.
The children in the family are no exception, and even the elderly and women have to practice martial arts.
Because they had done this before when they fled famine, the villagers quickly got used to it.
However, the workers who came to work were very surprised when they learned about it.
Everyone thinks it is inappropriate for a woman to learn martial arts, and how can the men in the family save face?
But because they were working for Taohua Village, they didn't dare show it on their face.
However, some women who had just married into Taohua Village were afraid to go.
But seeing that my mother-in-law had gone, I had no choice but to follow her.
But after a few days of exercise, I really feel that I am in better shape and have more strength.
Now when I go to practice martial arts, I am not shy at all and I look forward to it.
That morning, the people of Taohua Village were practicing martial arts in the cement square.
Su Nanxing was there too, of course, but his training was different from that of the others in the village.
It was sent by Gu Jingmo. It is a more advanced martial art that also includes the cultivation of internal strength.
However, there are a few people in the village who are very talented.
For example, Yinbao and Yang An, as well as hunter Zhang Hu's younger brother, Zhang Xiong.
The three of them were almost able to develop internal strength, so Su Nanxing found a professional martial arts master for them.
