At the gates of the Capital City, a soldier was posting an imperial edict.

The posting of an imperial edict signified that sothing significant had occurred, and the surrounding commoners all gathered around.

Mister soldier, what does it say on there? There are so many characters!

I cant read. Can you read it out for ?

Has sothing big happened again?

After the soldier finished posting the imperial notice, he turned to face the curious crowd and bellowed, Listen well, for this is a matter of great fortune!

Due to the earth dragon turning over, many mineral deposits have been discovered, and thus the imperial court is recruiting 100,000 people to mine! As long as you follow orders and work hard without complaint, you will receive a monthly wage of 300 wen! (TLN: Wen () is a unit of coins currency that was historically used in China.)

Furthermore, the imperial court will also provide two als a day! This is a rare opportunity, so co and sign up!

This news instantly caused a stir among those present.

What? The imperial court is calling us to mine, and well get a monthly inco of 300 wen?

Thats a lot of money! I cant earn that much even in two months!

And it even includes als, two als a day!

This is indeed a great opportunity, I must sign up!

In an instant, the common people were excited, a surge of emotion rippling through the crowd.

You see, for ordinary folks like them, working hard for a whole month might earn them just 200 wen, and 300 wen was considered a high salary. And now, to have als included, two als a daywhat a dream job this was!

Sir, is what youre saying true? Can we really earn 300 wen a month by mining, and it includes als?

The soldier tapped on the imperial announcent, smiling, This is the imperial edict, personally issued by His Majesty. How could it be false? What do you think? As long as you can endure hardship, you might even earn a bit more!

Yes, yes, yes Youre absolutely right, Commander! Everyone was overjoyed.

Commander, Im signing up right now!

Im young, I have great stamina, I can do a lot of work, pick !

Im especially good at enduring hardship

Everyone was clamoring to sign up, eager to land the job.

Silence! Everyone, be quiet! There are still more things to announce!

The soldier shouted loudly, This ti, the imperial court has issued a conscription for 100,000 people to go mining, and another 200,000 to clear and cultivate the land! Those who work on the land will receive a monthly inco of 200 wen, and they will also be provided with food and lodging!

Few were tempted, after all, a monthly inco of only 200 wen was not much, especially when it ant leaving their hos behind, and it was far less appealing compared to mining.

At that mont, the soldier continued to announce, The grain harvested from the cleared land can be shared with you, with 50% as an incentive!

What? We can also get grain?

Fifty percent? Such favorable terms?

Thats incredibly enticing!

Everyone beca excited once again.

For the common people, the most important thing is still food!

With food, theres no panic in their hearts.

And reclaiming wasteland not only provides wages and als but also yields fifty percent of the crops harvestedits simply a fantastic opportunity!

Therefore, many people were tempted.

Ive decided to go reclaim the wasteland!

I want to sign up, Im especially good at farming!

Commander, choose !

Silence, silence! Theres one last thing to announce!

The soldier continued to proclaim loudly: We are also conducting conscription this ti, recruiting 300,000 soldiers, ranging in age from 16 to 30! As long as you are physically able, with no diseases, you can co and register!

Our military pay has increased, it is now 500 wen per month! If you perform exceptionally and achieve ritorious deeds, there will be additional rewards, such as land and so on. The more rits you earn, the more you will receive, with no upper limit!

The people were once again stirred up with excitent.

The military pay is so high, I et the criteria, Im going to join the army!

To gallop across the battlefield, to achieve great deeds!

This is truly a mans dream!

That day, the imperial edict turned the Xia Kingdom upside down.

The common people of the entire Xia Kingdom had a sleepless night filled with excitent and exhilaration. So considered becoming miners, so thought about becoming farrs to reclaim the land, and so contemplated enlisting in the army

But no matter which occupation they chose, they were bound to reap the rewards.

And this matter was radiating out to the neighboring kingdom at an unbelievable speed, leaving everyone in shock.

What kind of ss has that little foolish emperor gotten into now?

Hes recruiting 100,000 miners, 200,000 pioneer farrs, and 300,000 soldiers and hes offering high wages! It all adds up to at least 200,000 taels of silver a month, which ans he needs 2.4 million taels a year. Can he really afford such wages?

The annual inco of the Xia Kingdoms national treasury is only a little over 2 million taels. With him playing around like this, wont the national treasury collapse?

What Im more concerned about is the fact that hes providing food as well. Does he have that much grain?

Theres no need to think too much about it. This foolish emperor is definitely up to his usual nonsense. He cant seem to rest easy without causing so sort of trouble!

I just want to see how hes going to bring about his own downfall and that of the Xia Kingdom!

Many people were mocking Lin Beifan, laughing at his expense.

However, the common folk were very tempted.

Because the wages Lin Beifan offered were too high, at least thirty to forty percent more than their usual jobs, and it included als, which ant they could save a considerable amount of money.

The money saved could then be used to build houses and find wives.

Thus, many commoners headed towards the Xia Kingdom with hopeful hearts.

We are currently recruiting. CN/KR/JP Translators/MTLers are welco!
