"That's good." Nan Hua nodded.
In the current ti, it would be good to have private soldiers who could protect them. While the war was over, there were still bandits roaming around from ti to ti to make trouble.
With soldiers around, the people's live would be much safer than before.
"How about the rest?" Old Master Nan asked.
"Of course, they're farming!" Yu Jin grinned when she said it. "We need a lot of food and since they're very diligent, they can open up the land. Anyway, the land is owned by the kingdom and they can get a portion from working on it."
Old Master Nan nodded thoughtfully.
Nan Hua blinked her eyes.
She turned to look at the people who ca to the village and felt that many of them would beco farr under Yu Jin's instigation and arrangent when they lived here.
Not that it was a bad thing.
After all, if they have a lot of food, they could live a good life in the future without the need to worry about their living condition.
'But the war at the north will make many people have to send their food.'
The kingdom took taxes from farr in the form of their produce. The food would be accumulated for a long ti but this ti, Nan Hua knew that there were not much reserve food that Fei Yang Kingdom had.
Because for the sake of the war, they had to use a lot of food for the soldiers.
Even then, the food given to these soldiers were by no ans the delicious type of food.
It could barely fill their stomach.
But it was enough for these soldiers.
They were on the frontline to serve their kingdom and not to enjoy a vacation. So the food was still acceptable for them. They didn't really expect to be able to eat delicious food when they were busy fighting for the kingdom.
"Do you also farm, Jin'er?" Nan Hua looked at her sworn sister.
"I have a garden on the back, but it's Shan Yu who takes care of them." Yu Jin smiled sheepishly. She knew nothing about farming and without Shan Yu who could take care of the garden, those plants would have died a long ti ago.
After all, Yu Jin was more of a direct and brash person.
The delicate work of tending plants…
Well, she was not suitable.
"I see." Nan Hua nodded, not surprised by this.
She knew that Shan Yu has the skills to raise plants, mostly dicinal plants, because of his study with Traveling Doctor Liu. He might not use it much, but if he was allowed to settle down, he should start to use them.
Just like now.
"Anyway, let's go and take a walk!" Yu Jin pulled Nan Hua and then brought Nan Hua outside.
"Jin'er, slow down!" Shan Yu reminded.
Yu Jin, who was about to run faster, could only slow down and walked out.
"Sorry about this." Shan Yu looked at Long Qian Xing apologetically. He felt that Yu Jin was like a child sotis, but at the sa ti, he didn't really mind her like this.
"It's fine." Long Qian Xing waved his hand calmly.
While the n stayed in the house, Yu Jin brought Nan Hua to walk around the village, proudly showing off the areas that she had just opened.
"These people are very talented as farrs." Yu Jin sighed deeply. "It took them a short period of ti to open up the land and now that it's spring, it'll be ti to start planting."
Planting usually done in spring and then they would harvest the result in autumn.
The winter was naturally a break.
Nan Hua looked at the land that was opened up for farming and nodded her head. She didn't know how good the land here is, but she hoped that they would be able to receive good result by autumn.
In this way, the lives of the people in this village would be better.
"Do you have enough seeds to plant such a wide area?" Nan Hua asked. If she was not wrong, the seeds were not that hard to obtain but if they wanted a large number of seeds, it would not be that easy.
"The elders said that they have bought enough," Yu Jin replied. "And they have done well in this regards, so I choose to trust them."
Yu Jin had no talent in terms of managent or anything like that. To be honest, she used to expect her friend to be the one to succeed the elders in this matter, but then that betrayal ca.
She realized that she had never truly understood her friend.
What the other party wanted…
It was not what she showed on the surface at all.
"The elders have also trained successors for the managent matters. They also hope that they can send soone to beco official in the future, but I highly doubt it," Yu Jin replied and spread her hands.
She knew that becoming an official was not easy.
Even if so people who ca to the Mountain Tribe ca from a relatively educated family, they could not guarantee that their skills were good enough to let them beco an official.
After all, the examination would change every year.
Even they didn't know what question would appear next.
The only thing they could do was to try studying and try to teach what they had learned to their children so that they had a chance to beco an official.
"There are not many cities have academies," Nan Hua said slowly. "But if they really want to beco an official, studying in the academy is the best thod."
Because the subject studied in the academy would be the subject that was likely to appear during the Imperial examination.
"I know, but it's very expensive." Yu Jin sighed. "When my child is born, I'll let him practice martial arts and beco a soldier instead. At the very least, this path is easier."
