The request to join the army was not Han Cheng's whim, it was actually something he had been thinking about for a long time.

Of course, it's not just because he has been a cook for a few years in his last life, and he has a feeling for joining the army.

One of the more important reasons is that, as a later generation, he has a very clear understanding of the future direction of history.

At this time, it was already the early summer of the fifth year of the Great Cause, and under the rule of the ambitious Great Cause Son of Heaven, the world began to be tired, and the great foundation left by Emperor Wen Yang Jian began to waver.

With the beginning of the Eastern Expedition to Goguryeo in the eighth year of the Great Cause, the chaotic era at the end of the Sui Dynasty was about to come.

All parties are constantly rebelling, and the big and small forces are happy to kill me, I will kill you.

Some are ambitious and want to ascend to the throne and become the supreme in the world, while others just want to live in the troubled times.

But no matter what purpose they have in their struggle, one fact will not change - as in the troubled times of the past, it is the people at the bottom who suffer the most from the catastrophe.

In troubled times, if you want to save your life and live better, the best way is to hold the gun firmly in your hand.

In troubled times, as long as you have a gun in your hand, you can get the rest.

The matter of the salt farm is about to be rolled out, and their family's life in recent years has been guaranteed, and these natural things can make the family live a stable life in peacetime, but at such a point in time, with the opening of the chaotic times at the end of the Sui Dynasty, this thing is really not enough.

Not to mention the rest, just a group of bandits can turn all the things he has spent a lot of effort and painstaking management into nothing.

Not to mention, now that he has formed a feud with the Jinyang Wang family, it is a real behemoth.

It is indeed useful to pull Li Jing's tiger skin, but after all, it is only an external force, not reliable enough, not a long-term plan, and the most reliable thing in the world is still yourself.

And at this time, the easiest thing to get ahead is to join the army.

When the troubled times have not begun, it may not be very obvious, but as long as the troubled times begin, the benefits of being a soldier can be immediately highlighted.

Of course, this is not talking about the big heads.

At this time, there are still two and a half years to go before the eighth year of the great cause, and his ability is not too bad, plus he has helped Li Jing so much today, and the salt farm will be spread out in the future, and the family is not short of money, with these, two and a half years is enough for himself to gain a foothold in the army, and have some strength, to be able to initially control his own destiny, and to have some more capital to survive in troubled times.

Now that Li Jing took the initiative to ask what he wanted, Han Cheng naturally wouldn't miss such a good opportunity.

"Why does Xiaoyou want to join the army?"

Li Jing suppressed the surprise in his heart and looked at Han Cheng and asked.

"Good boy, I'm going to join the army! Only after joining the army can you pick up a sword and gun to protect your family and defend the country, and only then can you spell out a good future, seal your wife and son, and enjoy wealth! ”

Han Cheng said categorically, without half a minute of hesitation, but he almost couldn't hold back, and said the sentence that one person joins the army, and the whole family is glorious.

Good man, you want to join the army?

Li Jing's eyes lit up, he never thought that this little friend would be so knowledgeable and ambitious.

He thought that his family had always been poor, but now that he had given up the method of making salt, with his own help, the salt factory would soon be spread, and he would soon be able to obtain a great deal of wealth, and he would be immersed in it, at least for a long time.

But he didn't expect that now that the salt shop had not yet begun to unfold, he already had other ideas.

But he underestimated others.

Li Jing thought in his heart that his perception of the young man in front of him had undergone some changes.

Li Jing was very satisfied with Han Cheng's performance at this time, especially after Han Cheng said that a good man is going to join the army.

He was born in Guanlong, and like the rest of the Guanlong family, the family can have such a status, all of which were fought by the ancestors, and he himself is very yearning for this kind of life that immediately makes a name for himself.

In particular, after reading a lot of military books and strategies with his uncle and learning a lot of strategies, he yearned for this kind of life even more.

At this time, Han Cheng said the words of joining the army, which can be said to have just scratched his itch.

It's hard not to let him look up.

After Han Cheng said these words, he had been paying attention to Li Jing's reaction, and although Li Jing had not spoken at this time, he had also let go of a lot in his heart, feeling that this thing should be possible.

"Xiaoyou is in the army, or let it go first, firstly, Xiaoyou is too young, but the middle-aged man has not yet become a man, and the age of joining the army is not enough, secondly, Xiaoyou is the only son in the family, and there is a mother and little sister to take care of, and thirdly, the salt farms have not yet been established, and it is imperative to cross the salt famine as soon as possible......"

Li Jing thought for a while and spoke.

Han Cheng was overjoyed in his heart, so he arched his hand and said: "The kid will definitely do his best to do a good job in the salt field and produce a large amount of salt as soon as possible......

Although Li Jing did not directly agree, he could already be regarded as a response to this matter when he said this.

In fact, Han Cheng was very satisfied with Li Jing's arrangement, after all, at this time, the family had not yet settled down, and the affairs of the salt farm had not been started, and it would take time to take care of them.

However, Li Jing is not without requirements, and the requirement is that Han Cheng needs to get the salt field done as soon as possible.

Han Cheng heard what Li Jing meant, so he didn't respond to the first two things Li Jing said, and went directly to the third one.

Li Jing was a little satisfied, and felt more and more that this young man was knowledgeable and interesting, and he was handy to use.

Yuan Bo on the side was once again deflated, thinking that after this damn guy proposed to join the army, his uncle would immediately agree, so that his opportunity would come, and he could meddle in the affairs of the salt farm, who knew that his uncle would actually do this.

At this time, Yuan Bo was suspecting that this damn country boy was Li Jing's wife and nephew, otherwise, why did this old man go to this kid everywhere? What benefits are given to him?

Before Yuan Bo's resentment was finished, Li Jing's voice sounded again: "Xiaoyou's contribution is very great, joining the army is to protect the family and defend the country, not suitable for rewarding, I see that the courtyard of Xiaoyou's house is quite small, so I will pay for someone to repair the house in Xiaoyou's house?" ”

Li Jing smiled and spoke, this was the more suitable reward he thought of after thinking about it.

The six-star house at home, Han Cheng had long wanted to rip it off and rebuild it.

The original plan was to wait until the salt farm was spread out and made money, and then do it, but he didn't expect Li Jing to open his mouth first.

This reward is really practical for Han Cheng.

Therefore, it was only a slight excuse and then I took it.

Li Jing couldn't help but smile when he saw Han Chengxi's smile, happy for the reward he came up with and was recognized......
