Chapter 163 Disagree
Lin Jinyue chatted with him for a long time.
It can be regarded as focusing on potatoes.
He drew a cake for Lin Jinyue, saying that although the battlefield was dangerous, military generals were promoted the fastest. They had been training in their village, and their accuracy was even better than that of veterans who had been on the battlefield for a long time.
Lin Jinyue also drew cakes for him: "General Gu, you can't look at it this way. The most important thing for marching and fighting is food."
"You don't have enough food, but I heard that King Jing has purchased food on a large scale some time ago. There is no shortage of food in Bashu where King Ning is located."
"Can you really stand it?"
Lin Jinyue answered questions one by one.
Gu Shao was really silent.
Seeing that he realized the importance of food, Lin Jinyue said with a smile: "General Gu, the average yield of rice is about 400 jins, and the potato growth cycle is three months, and the output can be 3,000 jins. If you take care of it well, it may be more than 500 jins." Thousands of catties.”
Gu Shao couldn't believe it: "So magical?"
Lin Jinyue: "It took a lot of effort to get potato seeds, so can it be worth the military service of our whole village?"
Gu Shao was still hesitant.
His mind was straining to the limit.
If there is food, not only the army, but also the people who are in famine outside Lingnan can have enough to eat and drink.
But if Lin Xueqing joins, his method of training the army and his deployment of troops will definitely lead to victory in a short period of time.
Lin Jinyue didn't want her brother to go to the battlefield.
Not to mention that everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world, their souls who accidentally traveled through time did not have much sense of belonging.
She just wants to protect her one-third of an acre of land and protect the people in the village.
Lin Jinyue felt that she was doing her best to provide a steady stream of potatoes.
If she really wanted to force conscription, she could lead the villagers across the sea overnight in three days.
Lin Jinyue continued to add more: "If General Gu thinks the potatoes are not enough, then look at the cement. It must be a great achievement."
She continued: "If we can build roads, it will be much more convenient to travel from north to south, and it will stimulate the economy. In short, it will be a great achievement."
Gu Shao finally hesitated and said, "Then, you can provide enough potatoes to exempt me from military service."
Lin Jinyue breathed a sigh of relief.
She turned to Gu Shao and asked: "Is the fighting fierce outside?"
Lingnan, especially the Shawan County area, is remote and almost isolated from the world.
I only know that prices are skyrocketing, but I don’t know what the outside world has been like during this period.
Gu Shao's expression was solemn: "The situation is not good, we need to prepare early."
Forced conscription, no amount of money can be paid to cover the military service. Lingnan will probably be attacked at any time, and there will not be much time to train troops.
Lin Jinyue still felt that there was something else she could do.
After all, if Gu Shao can delay for a while, the construction of their village will get better and better, and upgrading the farm can also unlock some higher technologies.
If you can endure it for a while longer, just endure it for a while longer.
Lin Jinyue still said to Gu Shao: "General Gu, although my brother cannot go to the battlefield, my brother can provide some guidance when you are training troops. In case of guerrilla warfare, I can provide some wilderness survival knowledge."
Gu Shaodao: "Thank you, if you need it..."
Lin Jinyue thought for a while: "Let's get another piece of land. There will be more varieties of potatoes. We can transport them to the capital by sea."
Gu Shao stood up and bowed to Lin Jinyue.
This time he bowed sincerely and truly thanked Lin Jinyue for being willing to provide these help.
Lin Jinyue is a typical person who takes soft things rather than hard ones. After being treated like this by him, she even began to consider giving him a telescope to save her life at the critical moment.
After reaching an agreement, Lin Jinyue smiled more sincerely and left Gu Shao to eat hot pot at night.
Everyone in the village liked Gu Shao, and they all showed their special skills and used all their best dishes to entertain these people.
The women in the village learned dance from Lin Zhao and Lin Xing for a while, and even started dancing.
The atmosphere was very good, and several of Gu Shao's men said they didn't want to leave.
Lin Jinyue also placed a lantern to pray for blessings. It said, "I hope the country will be peaceful and the people will be safe in the future."
She just wants to live a stable life, why is it so difficult?
The soldiers also came to put lanterns, some praying for a great victory, and some hoping that their families would be safe.
But, on this festive day, a blind person came.
Xie Hong still refused to give up.
He felt that Lin Jinyue had something good in hand, but he was rejected once. Even if it didn't work, he could still cook the rice.
As for Lin Jinyue, she is only ten years old now...
So what does it matter?
Marry him back first and then talk about it.
He didn't believe it. If he really married Lin Jinyue, her parents would not hand over those treasures.
Besides, Xie Hong didn't think he was ready to grab it yet.
After all, he still had something to exchange for.
The military conscription is coming soon. The common people don't want to do it. If they go there, they will basically die. Those who are temporarily and compulsorily recruited will basically be used as cannon fodder.
No fighting skills, no weapons and armor, yet rushing to the front.
Only one out of ten can survive.
This group of people finally escaped here. Now that Ansheng has only been alive for a few days, he must not be willing to be drafted.
At that time, they can ask them to hand over Lin Jinyue.
But what Xie Hong didn't expect was that this time, Gu Shaojie would get in first.
When Xie Hong saw Gu Shao and the others coming back talking and laughing, the corners of his mouth rose when he thought of the news he had received from the capital.
"General Gu, forced conscription, why did you let the people of Yunhe Village go?"
Gu Shao frowned, "I have made a decision, do I still need to ask for your opinion? Xie Hong, don't stretch your hands too long."
Xie Hong sneered, "Although I am a deputy general, His Majesty also wants me to supervise."
Lin Jinyue grabbed Gu Shao and said directly: "We in Yunhe Village will provide food for the march and fight, so as to offset future conscription."
Xie Hong frowned, "Grain? Do you mean to exchange it with grain? Is Lingnan short of food?"
His eyes darkened, "Anyway, I don't agree."
Then, he looked at Gu Shao: "General Gu defends this group of people everywhere. It's hard not to doubt whether you have a private deal."
Gu Shao: "There are only eleven households in Yunhe Village, so only eleven will be recruited for the army. Eleven people are exchanged for food. If His Majesty is here, he will definitely agree."
Xie Hong gritted his teeth, "I said no, I just can't!"
Gu Shao had a tough attitude and had Xie Hong dragged away, and the matter was settled.
Lin Jinyue frowned.
Xie Hong is really a troublemaker.
At this time, Lin Xueqing remembered what Chen Jinbao said when he came back that day.
He was considering the possibility of assassinating Xie Hong.
This embroidered pillow probably wouldn't survive a single move in his hands.
However, I think that their village is now stepping up construction everywhere, including commercial streets, houses, schools, roads and sentry towers...
Forget it, the village can't stand the trouble.
Let Xie Hong live for a few more days.
