~9 min read 1,625 words

So Ying Mo was also exceptionally urgent, but not long after they had traveled forward, Gao Jianli behind him suddenly said: "Young Master, look, what is that behind us...?"

Gao Jianli's tone was full of surprise, and at this moment, when Ying Mo looked toward the rear, his eyes were filled with total astonishment.

He had not expected that there was originally nothing behind him, but at this moment, many commoners had suddenly appeared.

The sudden appearance of these commoners made Ying Mo feel somewhat caught off guard.

However, they were all holding various kinds of gifts in their hands.

These commoners were extremely excited at this time.

The number of these commoners had already reached ten thousand.

Ying Mo had the carriage stop first.

Looking at the ten thousand commoners before him, Ying Mo felt incomparably moved in his heart.

One must know that the influence of Ying Mo's actions this time was particularly widespread.

Word spread from ten to a hundred, and from a hundred to a thousand; many people learned of the series of things Ying Mo had done.

Naturally, they also understood Ying Mo's situation, so at this time, they began to line the road to see him off, their eyes filled with utter reluctance.

It seemed that this matter was no small thing to them; in fact, it had indeed had a huge impact on them.

After all, during the few days Ying Mo was here,

these commoners felt that their lives had undergone a heaven-shaking, earth-turning change.

So from the bottom of their hearts, they actually did not wish for Ying Mo to leave.

Ying Mo's departure could also be considered a very sad thing for them.

But things went against their wishes; these things could not last forever, and Ying Mo had more important things to do.

Naturally, he could not spend all his time here, but at this moment, these commoners did not know that.

Only hearing one commoner stand out and say: "... Young Master, can you stay here for a few more days? It's not that we hope you will do anything for us."

"It is because there are still many commoners who have not seen your true face, and they all want to see it."

"We want to know what the person who changed the lives of our local people looks like and what kind of noble character he has. We respect you very much."

While saying this, this sensitivity, one look and it was clear it was heartfelt.

An elder with prestige among these so-called commoners spoke very earnestly. After hearing these words,

Ying Mo smiled. And it wasn't just this one person; several others asked at the same time, their eyes filled with confusion and reluctance.

Under these circumstances, Ying Mo could only smile and say: "Everyone, although I also very much want to stay here,"

"because you are indeed very enthusiastic, and I also want to watch you change step by step; this is a great sense of achievement for me."

"At the very least, regarding this matter, I believe everyone's future life will certainly be very comfortable, but I cannot stay here and watch forever."

402. Sufficient Grain, Unable to Attend to Everything! (Please subscribe!)

"Because I have to go to the front lines; there is going to be a war over in Goguryeo soon, so I cannot continue to stay here."

At this moment, Ying Mo also felt reluctant in his heart, but he understood that he had more important things to do.

If he wasted all his time here, and something went wrong at the front lines, it would be too late for regrets.

So Ying Mo was very clear about which one to choose, and Ying Mo's arrival this time

was actually not a sudden act by Ying Mo, but an intentional one.

He had come to this village to inspect it on purpose; he had come because he had such a guess in his heart, so at this moment, he naturally felt reluctant.

After all, his feelings for this place had begun a long time ago. After hearing these words, the villagers one by one revealed disappointed looks.

They knew that things like war must absolutely not be taken lightly.

If even the slightest accident occurred, then these people would not be able to survive.

Then there would be no need to say anything else. But the leading elder commoner was still very proactive at this time.

He said to Ying Mo: "Young Master, which side are you going to fight on? Are you going to travel all the way to the border from here? Is it far from the border?"

"Do you need our help? Although we haven't eaten very well during this period, we still have strength; you can rest assured."

"And we won't eat too much in the army, so let us be soldiers; we can definitely contribute."

At this moment, everyone was very proactive because they wanted to repay Ying Mo for his help to them.

And when they said these words, their eyes were filled with sincerity.

They were also serious when they said this; Ying Mo had indeed helped them a lot.

So they also wanted to do their best to help Ying Mo.

And it wasn't just one person who said this; after one person spoke,

many people behind began to speak directly, and their tone was also particularly sincere.

When Ying Mo saw this scene, he didn't say anything directly.

Instead, he had them stand in a row, and then Ying Mo looked at them carefully.

Ying Mo did not refuse them at the first moment because he felt that these people before him,

although they seemed to have some problems, the problems were not very big.

Because the local folk customs were fierce, and in addition, many commoners actually needed to work in their daily lives.

They also had enough combat power on them; letting them go into the army,

they would only need two days of training to go directly onto the battlefield. But after struggling with it for a while,

Ying Mo still chose to give up. He knew that these commoners had just obtained a good life.

If he let them go to be soldiers directly, that would be miserable.

And most soldiers needed people of working age.

But one must know that when the previous county magistrate was here,

their families had no grain at all; it had all been taken away by the previous county magistrate.

If Ying Mo took away these people who could farm at this time, it would lead to no one being left to farm their fields.

When the time came, the situation caused would naturally be particularly terrible, and it might even lead to people starving to death.

So when Ying Mo thought of this point, he felt it was absolutely not okay.

He could not harm the other party because of himself, and Ying Mo was also unwilling to lie to the group of commoners before him.

He only heard him say: "We are indeed going to fight a war now."

"But this battle is not so easy to fight. Everyone might not know the current situation; our army is not lacking in manpower right now."

"Of course, if there comes a day when we lack manpower, I will naturally come to tell everyone, but it is definitely not now."

"And the reason why I don't let you stay locally is mainly for two points."

"The first point is that if you become soldiers, it is hard for you to return once a year; war can happen at any time, and you must participate in war at any time."

"This is the most important point, so we generally recommend that people with multiple sons in their families become soldiers; only then is it more appropriate."

"Of course, I think you should also know the specific reason, so I hope everyone can calm down first."

"The second point is that your local families need people to farm; if you don't work, then there will be insufficient grain."

"Then our army's grain will also be insufficient; this is naturally the worst outcome."

"So I hope you can farm well and then replenish the grain."

"In this way, it is equivalent to participating in a battle; it is equivalent to this war having your support. Thank you, everyone."

At this moment, Ying Mo even bowed to thank them, because Ying Mo was not thanking any one villager individually.

But thanking all the villagers. These commoners really made him feel very moved; they were already unable to attend to themselves.

But under such circumstances, they were still thinking of the army under Ying Mo's command.

403. Absolutely Correct, Understandable! (Please subscribe!)

So at this time, he was naturally very excited.

At this moment, he felt that rescuing these commoners was simply an absolutely correct decision.

At the same time, Ying Mo said again: "And I also know that your place has produced many soldiers in the past."

"Many families have warriors; these families have suffered enough. Although I am not very opposed to everyone becoming soldiers,"

"but this time, if you want to become soldiers, we can only say we refuse and will not let you become soldiers."

"You can just give up on this point. Your task from now on is to work well; I don't want to repeat it a third time. Thank you, everyone."

At this moment, Ying Mo had a smile on his face; it was clear that Ying Mo was not angry.

But he was earnestly telling this group of people about his own thoughts.

This group was not stupid; after they saw Ying Mo's reaction,
