Chapter 579 Recruitment (2)

With Li Ke's recruitment information, the entire Western Wilderness has changed. People who had been unable to take away anyone 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 the agricultural machinery or his wife and children, they can easily cultivate this land.

but……

"After all, it's a job to die for."

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 Westfall, 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 to eat are all gone. 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.

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

Li Ke gave him a house and a field, gave him a year's rations, and gave him the opportunity to study. He even went to the factory for a few days during the slack season and earned money for clothes for his children.

But the money was never used because Li Ke's factory distributed clothes.

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

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but think of his second son, who died of illness. He still remembers that his son saw that he planned to sell the family's farmland and his pipe. words to say to yourself.

"I'm sorry, Dad, I'm sick...don't give me any treatment, okay? My sister and the others still need to eat."

He remembered this sentence all his life, because on the night after saying this sentence, his second son jumped into the river by himself.

Because their previous neighbor sold their farmland and the family starved to death of three children.

But in the end, their land was not saved because the nobles raised the price of food, and the funny thing is that they, the people who grow food, simply cannot afford to eat the food they cultivate.

It was clear that his land had a good harvest, but he didn't have enough to eat, and he even owed money to the landlord.

But it's different now.

Watching the wind blowing through his newly sprouted wheat seedlings, Hansen's heart rippled like these wheat seedlings.

The climate in the Western Wilderness is pleasant, and it is very suitable for growing crops in all seasons. As long as there are enough water sources and other things, wheat can be sown again as soon as it is harvested. Most of the wheat they harvested last time is still in their barns, but the new wheat, or new hope, has been ignited again.

But now, someone wants to destroy everything here...

Hansen's hand tightened on his pipe again. The pipe made of corn cobs gradually broke in his hands. The hot tobacco leaves made him subconsciously let go of his hand.

He looked at the pipe that had fallen to the ground, took a deep breath, and tremblingly took out a paper cigarette from his arms, then took out his match and lit it.

This is a new way of smoking, and it is said that cigarette factories are already preparing to make cheap cigars. Cheap cigars will be available as soon as next year.

However, if he joins the army now, he will probably not be able to smoke cigars that only big men can afford.

He was really hesitant whether he should go or not.

His children have not yet grown up, and his wife has just lived a good life with him for a few days. His life is barely on the right track, and everything about him is starting to change now.

As a person, he was extremely unwilling to die like this.

He wanted to see his children grow up, he wanted to see his barn be full every year, and he wanted to see himself and his wife grow old together.

but……

He knew better and left here and Li Ke's protection.

"I am nothing."

Taking a deep breath, the top of the cigarette lit up with red traces. He felt very depressed. He didn't understand why it had to be now, couldn't he wait?

He doesn't care how much money Li Ke can give him by joining the army, nor does he care about the generous pension, although before coming here, he will definitely fight for the generous pension and the money given by joining the army.

Because the treatment given by Li Ke is really good. Not only will you get nearly 1.5 times the income of ordinary workers when you join the army, but you will also be given a lot of things for free. If you unfortunately die, you will be paid nearly ten years of salary in one go, and you Both his wife and son will receive subsidies, and he will receive a salary until his children reach adulthood.

And how old is Li Ke's adult age?

Eighteen years old.

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

He suddenly realized one thing, that is, he had become picky.

He wanted more things in Li Ke's territory. He learned writing, mathematics, and even music that he had never dared to think of before. Things that only nobles could learn.

He didn't know what these things were for, but he learned very happily, because music can always make people happy.

He even imagined that when Li Ke opened a piano factory or musical instrument factory, he would buy some, and then let his family members each learn a favorite instrument, and their family would also learn the symphony and listen to the nobles. Enjoyment for gentlemen.

but now.

An enemy who can make Mr. Li Ke mobilize troops like this and issue a mobilization order. An enemy who can make Mr. Li Ke, who loves the people like a child, let all women and people of appropriate age start militia training...

He felt fear.

"But if we don't go, who will protect us?"

His eyes looked into the distance. In the distance, there were his sufferings, his unbearable past, and the enemies in the prophecy.

Turning his head, he saw his house with smoke coming from the cooking stove, his children running and laughing, and his wife's shouts could still be heard faintly in his ears.

At this moment, Hansen understood one thing.

He must protect everything he owns.
