However, speaking of which, the production of sweet potatoes and potatoes would definitely give him a lot of rewards this time.
Great Qin's system was based on military merit, so they were not stingy when it came to rewards.
However, the reward was only a thousand gold at most.
It was definitely more than enough to use the rewards to improve the lives of these old fellows.
"I came back early this time. His Majesty's reward will probably not be small. Why don't I buy some land for you? Find some tenants?" Zhao Ye asked tentatively.
This group of old fellows were all missing arms or legs.
It was still fine ten years ago, but now, after all, he was old. Moreover, who didn't have some hidden injuries on their bodies after coming down from the battlefield?
Zhao Ye really couldn't bear for them to face the yellow soil with their backs facing the sky again.
If he had no power, influence, or money, it would be fine. However, seeing that the Emperor's reward was about to arrive, Zhao Ye could not ignore it.
Sheng was stunned for a moment. He knocked on his walking stick and laughed loudly."You brat, don't look at me holding a walking stick. This old man will beat you without panting!”
"That's right. Do you think that old things like us can't do anything?”Qiye echoed.
Zhao Ye waved his hand and said," Uncle Sheng, I have no parents since I was young. You raised me up. Logically speaking, any elder in the village is my uncle. Now that I deserve His Majesty's reward, I should take care of you."”
Zhao Ye's painting was very sincere.
Ten years ago, they were the ones who raised him and gave him a way out.
So now, it was only reasonable for him to take care of them in their old age.
Sheng looked at the sincere Zhao Ye in front of him and sighed.
Yes, ten years had passed in the blink of an eye!
The boy who liked to daydream had grown into a young man in the blink of an eye.
They did not have any children and really treated Zhao Ye as their son.
There were one to two hundred people in the village, and all of them were very close to Zhao Ye.
It was only right and proper for Zhao Ye to take care of them in their old age. There was nothing wrong with them enjoying Zhao Ye's blessings.
"Ye 'er has grown up!" Sheng sighed.
"But old things like us are used to being poor. We don't need to order servants around, and we don't want to live in that big house.”
Sheng patted Zhao Ye's huge shoulder.""Back then, your Grandpa Baimeng brought us to offer up our land. Only then did the veterans take the initiative to donate their fields to reward those who had made contributions.
There are at least tens of thousands of veterans here, and they're digging for food like us.
You've made a name for yourself and gained His Majesty's attention, but we can't enjoy this happiness.
Back then, we led the people to donate the fields and dig for food. We didn't regret it even if it was exposed to the wind and sun. I know what you mean.
However, tens of thousands of brothers are still digging for food in the fields.”
Sheng patted Zhao Ye's shoulder and stood up with a smile,"Kid, you're so considerate. We don't have any descendants. The village treats you as their son. If you really treat us as family, when one of us dies, you can build a grave for us and come over to burn some paper during the holidays.”
Sheng shook his head and waved the walking stick in his hand.
"Did you see? I can still move!"
Sheng's back slowly disappeared from Zhao Ye's eyes.
Zhao Ye sighed and shook his head with a smile.
"This group of old fellows!"
Zhao Ye knew that these old fellows had truly dedicated their lives to Great Qin.
Even at this moment, he was not willing to enjoy life. Instead, he missed his compatriots who had contributed their fields together.
Zhao Ye also understood that if he wanted them to sit down and enjoy life, he would have to settle down all the veterans who contributed their fields back then. Only then would they be able to enjoy life with a clear conscience.
Just as they said.
They did not regret giving up on the fields, digging in the soil for food, being exposed to the wind and sun.
The only thing they couldn't let go of was their compatriots who had contributed their fields with them.
Zhao Ye had already guessed this outcome.
When they were young, this group of old fellows had been talking about this matter. Today, Zhao Ye had tentatively mentioned it, and as expected, this group of old fellows had rejected it.
"So, the money is still not enough!"
Resettling tens of thousands of veterans was not a small project. At the very least, Brother Zheng's reward was definitely far from enough.
"We have to hurry up and get money!"
Zhao Ye really didn't expect that in his previous life, he had to carry a mortgage and car loan to make money.
He still had to work hard to earn money in this life.
Just like how they felt that Enjoying Fortune had let down their brothers from back then.
Zhao Ye felt that if they did not enjoy life at their age, he would be letting them down.
In life, there must be some affection. Some people were like animals, and some animals were like humans.
In the end, the difference was still in human nature.
Sometimes, human nature was a weakness. Sometimes, human nature was also where faith was.
Zhao Ye did not complain about their stubbornness and stubbornness.
The kindness of life could be repaid with a broken finger!
The kindness of raising him, even if he died, he would still return.
He had to do something when he met this group of old fellows in this life.
