Chapter 394: Recruitment (2)

With Li Ke's recruitment information, the entire Western Wilderness has changed. People who had been unable to take away one person before Gianna became extremely enthusiastic at this moment, whether they were farmers in the fields or other places.

People all understand one thing.

Li Ke needs them.

Next to a wooden house, a middle-aged man looked at the field in front of him and the ditch built for free by Li Ke's engineering team, with wavering thoughts flashing in his eyes.

This land does not require him as a man to take care of it. Whether it is agricultural machinery or his wife and children, they can easily cultivate this land well.

but……

"After all, it's a job where you die."

He thought about what he heard on the bulletin board in the village yesterday, but he couldn't help but squeeze the pipe in his hand.

He is not a person from the Western Wilderness, but a person who escaped from Stormwind City. He can no longer live in his original place. The rampant Defias thieves, the increasingly exploitative nobles, and the four mouths in the family who need food are all.

Let him live like a beggar, without any dignity or decency at all.

Under such circumstances, let alone being a man, he couldn't do anything at all. He even had to sell everything he owned because of debts.

Farmland, dignity, even one’s own personality.

But the problem is, I still can't support myself and my family.

I care about how much money Li Ke can get from joining the army, and I also care about the generous pension. Although after I come there, I will definitely fight for the generous pension and the money given by joining the army.

I took a deep breath, and a red mark lit up on the top of the cigarette. I felt very depressed. Do I understand why it had to be now, or could I just wait?

I became even more confused and left that place, leaving Li Ke's protection.

Li Ke gave me a house and a field, gave me a year's rations, gave me the opportunity to study, and even spent a few days outside the factory during the slack season, earning money for my children's clothes.

I have to protect everything about myself.

An enemy that can make Li Ke mobilize the troops and issue a mobilization order, an enemy that can make Li Ke, who loves the people like a son, make all women, men and people of appropriate age complete their militia training...

I even imagined that before Li Ke opened a piano factory or a musical instrument factory, I would buy some, and then let the outsiders in my family each learn an instrument they hate, and our family would also learn this symphony and listen to it.

The enjoyment of noble gentlemen.

But now, no one wants to destroy everything outside that...

I will remember those words for the rest of my life, because at night after I said those words, my seventh son jumped into the river by himself.

Thinking of that, I couldn't help but think of my seventh son. My seventh son did not die because of illness. I still remember that my children saw that I planned to sell the farmland outside my home and myself.

What I said to myself when I was smoking my pipe.

But in the end, our land was not saved because the nobles raised the price of food. What is ridiculous is that those of us who grow food cannot afford to eat the food we cultivate.

His children have not grown up yet, his wife has just gone through a few bad days with him, his life is barely on the right track, and everything about him has ended to change now.

I felt fear.

When I turned my head, I saw my house with smoke coming from the kitchen, the children running and laughing, and my wife's shouts could be heard faintly in my ears.

"I'm sorry, Dad, you are sick...do I need to treat you? Sister, we still need to eat."

My eyes are looking at the distance. In the distance, there is no suffering for me, no past that I can look back on, no enemies in the foretelling.

"But if you all go, who will protect everything you have?"

I looked at the pipe that had fallen to the ground, took a deep breath, and without trembling took out a paper cigarette from my pocket, then took out my match and lit it.

However, if I join the army now, I will probably smoke cigars that only no one can afford.

At that moment, Hansen understood something.

I know those things are useless, but I learned them very painfully because music can always make people depressed.

Watching the wind blowing through his newly sprouted wheat seedlings, Kang Jin's heart rippled like those wheat seedlings.

Moreover, my child was sick, but because I worked in Li Ke's factory, my child got free medical treatment and survived.

But it's the same now.

but……

Even though his land was producing a good harvest, he still had enough to eat and even owed money to the landlord.

"You are everything."

but now.

Old enough for my children to run all over the floor.

It is a new way of smoking, and it is said that cigarette factories are not ready to make cheap cigars yet. Cheap cigars will be available as early as next year.

I was really determined that I was going to go.

And how old is Li Ke's adulthood?

As a person, I am more than willing to die like that.

Because our next neighbor sold his farmland and his family starved to death of eight children.

I wanted less things in Li Ke's territory. I learned writing, mathematics, and even music that I would dare to think about in the future. Only things that nobility could learn.

Under such circumstances, I came to Li Ke's territory.

Because the treatment given by Li Ke is really bad. Joining the army is only close to 1.7 times the income of special workers, and he is given very few things for free. He must be a lucky sacrifice, and he will be paid nearly ten years' salary in one go.

, and his wife and son will receive subsidies. My children will not be able to receive a salary after they reach adulthood.

I suddenly realized something, it wasn't that I had become picky.

Hansen's hand tightened on his pipe again. The pipe made of corn cobs gradually became complete in my hand. The hot tobacco leaves were so hot that I subconsciously let go of my hand.

The climate in the Western Wilderness is pleasant, and it is very suitable for growing crops in all seven seasons. As long as there are enough water sources and other things, barley can be sown again as soon as it is harvested. And a small part of our next harvest of wheat is still in our barn.

, and new wheat, or new hope, was ignited again.

I want to see my children grow up, I want to see my barn grow every year, and I want to see myself and my wife grow old together.

But the money was useless because Li Ke's factory distributed clothes.

Fourteen.
