Chapter 112: Reclamation and Farming
Shen Qingqian soon found out the answer.
When it was Chen Xiao's turn, Old Lu stood next to the person in charge of registration. When he saw Chen Xiao, he said, "I'm asking for this man on behalf of the Military Equipment Supervisor. There are only a few males left in his family who are under the age of twenty. Let's arrange for them to go to the north to open up wasteland and cultivate land!"
Strictly speaking, Mr. Shen is 24 years old and has already reached adulthood, but Old Lu's words are influential among this group of people. Since he said so, the person in charge of registration can hardly refute him and just considers it a favor for him.
The man just drew a few strokes with his big hands, and the Shen family was arranged.
Following closely behind were Sheng Ze and Ling Yun, who didn't care at all about where they would be assigned.
But Old Lu looked at them and asked Li Laosan, "They are good at fighting and killed more than a dozen people from the Jun tribe."
Li Laoliu nodded quickly, "It's them, Master Lu, I'm absolutely not lying. If you don't believe me, let them show you their skills now."
"No need," Old Lu waved his hand. "Our army is short of men right now. Since they are both quite skilled, I'll keep them for Instructor Deng."
In the Jin Dynasty, the instructor was an official in the military camp who was responsible for military training. He trained the troops in peacetime and followed the general into battle in wartime depending on the situation.
The Hubei North Army has strict military discipline, but there are not many people who are good at training soldiers, and there are not many people with solid skills. That's why Old Lu came up with this idea after hearing that Shengze and Lingyun were outstanding in skills.
Of course, given the Cheng brothers' status as fugitives, they were definitely not kept as coaches. It could be considered as finding two helpers for Coach Deng, so that the remaining soldiers would not be lazy when he was not in the army.
As for whether they can do the job, it depends on their abilities.
When the other exiled families saw that the Shen family and the Cheng brothers were not assigned to do hard labor, those who were quick-witted wanted to plead for mercy, but without exception they were all scolded in return.
However, basically all the women and girls from each family were arranged to work in the fields. Some were responsible for farming, while others, like the Shen family, were responsible for reclaiming wasteland and cultivating land.
When Shen Qingqian heard the task assigned to her, she suddenly felt melancholy.
The system just gave her the relevant books, and she encountered related things. Could it be that the system has a predictive function?
After Chen Er comforted the old lady, he just looked up when he was told about the Shen family and the Cheng brothers. All kinds of feelings suddenly came to his mind.
It was not until this moment that he truly understood a truth: people must have their own abilities at all times. Only when they have strong abilities can they be fearless of any setbacks and risks.
At this moment, Chen Er became more determined about his previous idea.
The two hundred or so people were quickly arranged, and they put their fingerprints on a piece of paper proving that Chen Jingxing was indeed abducted by the Jun people. Then someone took them to their residence.
Before leaving, Li Laosan said goodbye to everyone. After being together for so long, everyone had developed feelings for each other, so there was no need to describe in detail the scene of saying goodbye with tears.
However, among all the people, Li Laosan was most familiar with Shen Xiao and Sheng Ze, so he specially spoke a few more words to the two of them.
"Mr. Shen, it's great that you've been assigned to the Arsenal. Later, think of a way to get everyone in your family, young and old, some lighter jobs. Brother Cheng, I truly admire you two. Fortunately, you've found a good place to go, so I can rest assured on this trip. Farewell, I hope to hear good news from you soon!"
Li Laosan bowed. The "good news" he mentioned was that he had gotten rid of his status as a fugitive.
"We will always remember your care on the road this time. Please take care on your journey, Third Master." Chen Xiao bowed deeply to the ground with full sincerity.
Li Laosan hurriedly went to ask him, "No, no, there's no need to do this, Master Shen. In our hearts, Master Shen is..." Thinking that Master Shen was sentenced to death by the new emperor, he quickly changed his words, "In short, it's just a small favor, not worthy of such a great gift from you."
Shen Xiao smiled, "Of course it's well deserved."
Sheng Ze and Ling Yun were much simpler. They just bowed and said "take care" to Li Laosan, and then they parted ways.
Shen Qingqian felt heavy-hearted as he watched the long team turn into a dark path.
