"That’s good." Nan Hua nodded.
In the current time, it would be good to have private soldiers who could protect them. While the war was over, there were still bandits roaming around from time to time 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 came to the village and felt that many of them would become farmer under Yu Jin’s instigation and arrangement 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 farmer in the form of their produce. The food would be accumulated for a long time but this time, 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 means 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 time 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 medicinal 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.
