How could Magistrate Ding not be moved?

He was sent to Lingnan because he offended someone. This place where there is no shit is also caught up in the war. He may have to stay in Lingnan for the rest of his life.

He wants to make political achievements more than anyone else.

Especially after Lin Jinyue and others came, many people were attracted by the delicious food here, and tax revenue also increased.

However, these are far from enough for his promotion.

Nowadays, when you are promoted to a high-ranking official, your political performance depends on the number of households under your name.

No matter how much taxation or economic growth there is, it will be useless.

It's just that now taxes, corvees, and military service are all levied based on the number of households, and ordinary people are not willing to divide their families.

If you want to increase the number of households, it is simply more difficult than reaching the sky.

Basically, the officials who were transferred to Lingnan will not be able to be promoted in their lifetime.

Right now, it is indeed a good opportunity.

Lin Jinyue brought many people, more than a thousand households, regardless of whether they were female households, these were solid political achievements.

Magistrate Ding was really moved.

But...he really didn't dare to offend Gu Shao.

In case the political achievements have not yet been passed on, he will be directly imprisoned for obstructing Gu Shao's actions.

Magistrate Ding hesitated: "Achievements are of course important, but if I delay General Gu, wouldn't I become a sinner forever?"

Lin Jinyue is such a smart person and she immediately understood what he meant.

Lin Jinyue thought of her brother being taken away by Gu Shao and not coming back for two days, and she knew that Gu Shao must have thought that her brother was so powerful that he was reluctant to let him go.

"This is not a big deal. Let's go find General Gu together?"

Lin Jinyue added: "Actually, this doesn't matter. These people are originally maids and servants of major families, and military service is really not on their shoulders."

Ding Ruiming pretended to hesitate, "How about we ask? We can also know what General Gu's plan is."

A group of people hurried to the military camp outside the city.

There was a simple martial arts field in the past, and his brother was surrounded by a group of soldiers wearing simple cloth armor.

Lin Jinyue was not in a hurry to disturb him, and just watched from there.

Lin Xueqing originally didn't want to come over. He also felt that the people in his village were not physically fit enough, and most of them were not accurate enough in archery.

If you haven't done anything in your own village, how can you have time to care about others?

But after arriving, he actually didn't want to go back.

Each of these soldiers is only fifteen or sixteen years old, and the younger ones are still thirteen years old.

And he also learned from Gu Shao that when these people go to the battlefield depends on when King Jing comes to fight. If he comes tomorrow, then they will have to go tomorrow.

Yes, with bare hands and no fighting skills.

He was directly used as a human shield and rushed to the front.

After all, Lin Xueqing grew up in a peaceful era, so he could cold-bloodedly ignore these people if they were not in front of him.

But when they all smiled honestly at him and stuffed him with dry food, boots, and earthenware stuffed at home.

Lin Xueqing couldn't turn a blind eye.

Lin Xueqing also focused on teaching these newly recruited people during this period.

Fighting skills and wilderness survival skills are all poured into their heads.

In the past two days, Lin Xueqing could not rest for a moment.

After teaching fighting, you have to do spot checks to check for any gaps and make up for them.

No one thought he was too strict. Everyone knew that Lin Xueqing wanted them to survive.

After teaching for a while, Lin Xueqing saw Lin Jinyue not far away.

He wiped his sweat and ran over, "Why are you here? I forgot to write a letter back in the past two days. Don't worry, it's me who wants to stay here."

Lin Jinyue smiled and said, "Let's ask General Gu to do something."

Lin Xueqing said: "I will take you there."

Lin Jinyue handed him a small cloth bag, which was stuffed full of food she brought here to eat on the way.

There are also some snacks just bought from the system mall.

Lin Xueqing accepted it, knowing that she couldn't walk very well, so he directly carried her on his back.

Lin Xueqing also said: "I think if I stay here for a few more days, I can make weapons and cloth armor, it would be better..."

Lin Jinyue nodded: "If General Gu is willing to provide raw materials and labor costs, I can ask the villagers to work overtime."

After a while, he walked around to Gu Shao's side.

At this time, he was staring at a sand table, not knowing what he was thinking.

There were other people in the room. When they saw Lin Xueqing, they stood up quickly and were extremely respectful.

Lin Xueqing was used to it, they had been like this for the past two days.

But the others who came with Lin Jinyue were a little surprised.

Hearing about it is one thing, seeing it with your own eyes is another.

When Gu Shao saw Lin Jinyue, he quickly asked people to prepare melon and fruit snacks, and even asked people to go to the city to buy them.

Lin Jinyue said hurriedly: "I won't stay long, I just want to talk about business, so don't bother me."

Gu Shao insisted: "It's okay, no trouble. What's the reason for coming here this time?"

Lin Jinyue said it directly.

Gu Shao was a little surprised: "Settle down two thousand people?"

Lin Jinyue nodded: "Yes, maybe the land is not enough. There are so many people, and I want to expand some places."

Ding Ruiming listened with his eyes twitching.

Good guy, I didn’t mention the land before.

Lin Jinyue blinked her watery eyes with a pure and harmless expression.

"I was also thinking that it would be nice if I could contribute to the general. There are many blacksmiths and carpenters in our village with pretty good skills. I'm afraid it would be difficult to win this war just by providing food. I thought if I could provide more thing……"

Gu Shao's eyes lit up: "Crossbow arrow..."

Lin Jinyue shook her head, "I mean leather armor and weapons."

Gu Shao is also worried about this. He doesn't have enough funds, but prices in Lingnan are constantly rising.

Lin Jinyue said: "You provide raw materials, and people in our village can charge a small processing fee."

At this time, several people behind Lin Jinyue said, "My family can provide a batch of iron tools."

"My family can donate some money."

"my home……"

Although this group of people hide in safe places whenever there is a fight, they will help wherever they can.

Everyone donated money enthusiastically.

Lin Jinyue immediately had an idea: "How about we erect a monument? We should erect a stone monument at the entrance of Guangcheng, Shawan County, and other major counties, with inscriptions on it ranked according to the places donated by everyone."

Now, the wealthy households who initially said they would donate ten thousand taels or several thousand taels started to quarrel one by one.

"Everyone go away, I want to donate 300,000 taels of silver!"

"My family is half a million!"

"Don't talk about those that are available or not. My family has a total of ten large ships."

Gu Shao was stunned. Is a stone tablet really that useful?

He thanked Lin Jinyue: "Thank you for your advice. It helped us a lot this time."

Gu Shao took Lin Jinyue alone to discuss the manufacturing of leather armor, armor and weapons, and the prices he gave were quite high.

Lin Jinyue felt that Gu Shaoren was really good. If the emperor was more reliable, she would be willing to provide some advanced weapons.

But no one is reliable in the current situation.

Lin Jinyue still felt that the defense line of their village was better than anything else.

Lin Jinyue thought for a while and finally provided Gu Shao with a telescope, "I got this kind of thing by chance. There are only two. One for our village and the other for you."

I have to admit that she is just like Lin Xueqing.

Looking at the teenagers who were not much older than her, she felt soft.
