Chapter 276 Buying People's Hearts
Chapter 276 Buying People's Hearts
"I know how to plow the fields. Before joining the army, I was responsible for the few acres of paddy fields at home."

"I can plant rice seedlings and thresh grain."

"I will replant corn and grow sweet potatoes."

"I can grow vegetables."

She questioned the forty or fifty soldiers who came out one by one.

In the end, she selected twenty older soldiers to keep.

"20 of you will follow me, and the rest will go back to the queue and continue to practice."

She led the 20 people out of the school grounds, Long Yi followed her footsteps, and asked curiously beside her: "Young Master Xiaoyan, why did you specially select these older soldiers to keep for use, aren't younger soldiers stronger? Farming and fighting both require strength."

Yan Xiaosi glanced at him with a smile.

"But farming only requires strength. Fighting may cost lives. Let young people go to the battlefield. They have a better chance of surviving. These older soldiers have degraded combat effectiveness and their movements are stiffer than young people. It is better to keep them. It’s better to come down and farm with me.”

With such an answer, Long Yi couldn't find a single mistake.

"Young Master Xiaoyan has a kind heart."

"Military doctor Xiaoyan has a kind heart."

The twenty veterans who followed were moved to tears.

Previously, these veterans were still worried that they would have no life to wait until the end of the war and go back to their hometown to see their relatives.

"Military doctor Xiaoyan, we will follow you and do a good job."

"You let us grow corn, we will never grow rice."

"exactly."

Yan Xiaosi didn't expect that what he just said casually won the hearts of these veterans. This is really an unexpected harvest.

She gave Long Yi a grateful look.

He whispered, "You asked a good question just now."

Long Yi chuckled.

"It is my honor to be able to help Mr. Xiaoyan."

Mr. Xiaoyan is the person in the master's heart. If he helps Mr. Xiaoyan, the master will definitely think that he is capable of doing things.

Yan Xiaosi let Long Yi go to work by himself, seeing that it was still early, she led twenty veterans to the open spaces outside the school grounds.

"This place is relatively close to the Yunluo River, and the soil is moist. It can be reclaimed to grow rice, and fish fry can be placed in the paddy fields. The rice is also grown, and the fish are also raised. It kills two birds with one stone."

The veterans followed behind, listening carefully to her division of paddy fields and dry land, and nodded in unison.

"The terrain here is relatively high, and the river water is not easy to overflow. It can be reclaimed as dry land, and corn, wheat, and vegetables can be grown."

"But Doctor Xiaoyan, we don't have any agricultural tools now."

A veteran suddenly spoke.

Yan Xiaosi glanced at the veteran, and said, "I'm going to Daxing Town today, and I'll buy seeds and agricultural tools."

"Military Doctor Xiaoyan, what shall we do today?"

Yan Xiaosi thought, the military doctor practiced every day, these veterans probably haven't rested for a long time.

"Don't do anything today, everyone is free to move around."

The veterans were overjoyed, discussing what to do today in twos and threes.

Yan Xiaosi saw that they were happy, and added: "His Royal Highness Zhan Wang asked me to plant these lands. Now everyone helps me plant the land, and I will not lose everyone's wages. So if you work hard, the higher the grain output will be. , the higher the wages for everyone.”

It's good to be able to save their lives, these veterans didn't think about wages at all, and Yan Xiaosi's mention of this sentence stunned everyone.

"Military doctor Xiaoyan, is what you said true?"

Looking at those unbelievable eyes, Yan Xiaosi replied with certainty: "Of course it is true. Follow me and work hard. Each person will not be less than one tael of silver per month."

A tael of silver!

The veteran was not moved to tears again.

You know, when they were soldiers, they didn't have a penny, they only made meritorious service, or when they retired and went home, the court would issue some pensions.

If I earn one or two taels of silver a month, work with Xiaoyan military doctor for a while, and save a sum of money, I will be able to marry a wife when I return home from the army, buy a few acres of Susukida, and live a peaceful and stable life.

At this moment, the coach is in the tent.

Long Yu saw Long Yi came back but Yan Xiaosi was nowhere to be seen, so he asked: "Is that kid still selecting candidates in the school?"

Originally it was a very common question, but Long Yi heard a strong pampering smell.

The master really remembers Mr. Xiaoyan in his heart all the time.

"Young Master Xiaoyan has already picked someone."

"Oh, it's so fast, I thought she would spend a while in the school grounds picking and choosing."

"Master, Young Master Xiaoyan picked twenty veterans."

The result was a bit unexpected.

Long Yu raised his eyebrows and said, "She thinks veterans have rich experience in farming?"

"No, Young Master Xiaoyan said that farming only requires strength, and a war requires not only strength, but also life. Those veterans are old, their combat effectiveness has degraded, and their movements are stiff. If they go to the battlefield, their chances of survival are not as good as those of young soldiers. , so Young Master Xiaoyan left those twenty veterans behind."

After hearing this, the corner of Long Yu's mouth ticked invisibly, obviously agreeing with Yan Xiaosi's statement.

"She's quite kind-hearted."

Long Yidao: "The hearts of those twenty veterans have already been subdued by Young Master Yan."

"Mortal wisdom."

Long Yi has followed his master for so many years, but he has never heard his master praise anyone, when he heard it suddenly, his face was stunned.

But Long Yu didn't realize it, he praised that kid just now, and continued to order solemnly: "Long Yi, you and Long Er take a team, and follow that kid to Daxing Town later."

Long Yi knew that today he was going to Daxing Town to pick up the military pay.

"Yes, this subordinate will definitely protect Mr. Xiaoyan and the military salary."

"That kid is full of tricks, don't let her cause trouble for the king in Daxing Town."

".Yes."

Is the master afraid that Mr. Xiaoyan will get lost in the fancy world of Daxing Town and refuse to come back?

Yan Xiaosi led the group of veterans for a stroll around the open space, returned to the commander's tent, drank tea, and waited for Long Yi and Long Er to go to the school grounds to count troops and set off.

His Royal Highness Zhan Wang sat in front of the desk, busy with business affairs, distracted from time to time, and glanced at the person who was sitting at the dining table drinking tea with his legs crossed, and was in a happy mood.

I don't know when, as long as that person stays by his side, he will take a look at him from a distance, and his mood will become extremely joyful and relaxed.

"Drink less tea, be careful that you won't find a toilet in Daxing Town later."

His Royal Highness Zhan Wang was right to remind that there are no public toilets in this era.

Yan Xiaosi put down the teacup, got up and walked towards the desk.

"Your Highness, Cao Min is going to Daxing Town soon, do you have anything that Cao Min should bring back?"

Long Yu thought for a while, took out a new piece of clean white paper, and wrote a line of words on the white paper.

"Help me buy these things back."
